Coldest night about local homeless By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer While most people spend cold nights in their homes with the heat turned up, some people have no homes to stay in. The Coldest Night of the Year is a Canada-wide event to raise funds and awareness for homeless people, and Yorkton is hosting its first event to raise funds for Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth. Peg Beaton with Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth (YTHY) says it’s a way to remind people what it’s like for people without homes to live outside on the coldest night of the year. Teams walk outdoors at night to give a sense of what people go through. People will meet at 5:00 p.m., and walk through the city, before meeting back to have something to eat and warm up. The advantage of joining up with a national fundraising
campaign, Beaton says, is that a small organization like YTHY can afford to have a fundraiser. With a bigger campaign, more of the work is done already, which is important when you have a limited staff. “To operate what we’re operating, we don’t have enough dollars, so desperately we need money as an association to address the needs of homeless youth in Yorkton... We don’t have any time, and we have had to reduce staff because we do not have enough dollars.” Beaton says that raising awareness is part of the challenge for the walk, because homelessness is a problem that people do not see in the city, but one that definitely exists “For us here in Yorkton, one of the challenges we find is that people do not believe we have homelessness,” Beaton says. “We’ve had youth who were sleeping in
Tim Horton’s, going to the bathroom, pulling their feet up and locking the door so they could have a couple hours of sleep in warmth. We’ve had kids where the ATM machines in banks, sleeping in post offices, wherever they could find a warm place to be.” Since opening on April 1, 2011, 55 young people aged 16 or 17 have gone to the two homes YTHY operates for help, all from Yorkton and surrounding area. “People say “Where were they? We never saw them, they’re not pushing carts on the street.” And they’re not. They are couch surfing, they are staying with friends, they are burning bridges, they are not attending school. For our focus, what kind of community members are they becoming?” Beaton says that their goal is to help kids in planning years adapt
to adulthood. All youth in the home come to YTHY for help, referred by the Ministry of Social Services, whether a ward or what is called a “section 10,” someone who finds it difficult to stay in school due to the situation in their homes. While many people associate places like YTHY with group homes, Beaton explains they are very different. “Those group homes are what we refer to as the protected model. The protected model has very strict rules and regulations, if a youth doesn’t do something there are punishments for it, and there are consequences in the punishment. The youth coming to our homes we operate very differently. We don’t have two people on staff every shift, we have one person called a mentor who lives in the home with the youth. That mentor is basically showing them what it’s like to be independent.” The goal is to provide
support to kids who otherwise would not have it, and that drives how they run their programming. Beaton notes that a new program, run with the Painted Hand Community Development Corporation, is an independent living program to help kids transition into being independent, which helped 13 young people last year. The program helps kids find housing, helps them with budgeting and finding employment, and living independently. They are also working to buy a rooming house in order to have a “second stage” after young people no longer fall into the age range of YTHY. “I know I’m a parent, grandparent, and greatgrandparent, and wouldn’t we take our kids back when they get out in the world, find out what life is really about, and say “oh my goodness, I am not ready for this” and go back home. These
young 16 and 17 year olds don’t have that option without our independent living program.” Youth are the focus, but Beaton knows that it’s more than youth that are affected by homelessness in the city, and says there are plans to address that in the future as well. An emergency shelter is being planned, which Beaton hopes to see ground breaking in January 2017, which will be for people of all ages, single adults, youth and families. “We’ve got to get people to realize there is homelessness here. Statistically, for every thousand people in a community, there is one homeless person... How many people have we got in Yorkton?” The Coldest Night of the Year will take place on Feburary 20, 2016.

City of Yorkton approves 2016 budget By CALVIN DANIELS Staff Writer
Yorkton Council unanimously approved its Capital and Operating Budgets for 2016 at its regular meeting Monday. “At the December 14, 2015 Committee of the Whole Council meeting the 2016 Capital & Operating Budgets were presented for adoption. The Committee of the Whole Council recommended to Council to table the adoption of the 2016 Capital & Operating Budgets until the January 11, Council meeting,” explained Shannon Bell, Director of Finance with the City. Tabling the docu-
ments did not spur community input though. “As of the date of this report we have not received any comments or concerns regarding the 2016 Capital & Operating Budgets,” said Bell. The budgets which were approved show an overall 3.90 per cent increase; with 0.90 per cent going towards the day to day operations and 3.00 per cent would go towards large capital infrastructure projects. “There will be a 3.9 per cent increase in property taxes in 2016, with a 0.9 per cent going to fund ongoing city operations,” said Mayor Bob Maloney in a release. “The remaining
three per cent will go towards capital infrastructure improvement projects,” he said. “This has been one of the most challenging budgets the city has seen in decades and reflects the more difficult economic times,” said the Mayor. Previous years have seen annual tax increases in the six per cent range. On the operations side revenues from several sources are expected to decline in 2016 including; • Municipal Revenue Sharing from the Province – amount is not known at this time but an increase is not forecasted • Court fine revenue
is down $65,000 • Building permit revenue is down $38,000 • Business license revenue is down $10,000 • Bylaw ticket revenue is down $14,000 And there are contractual cost increases to deal with as well, including an additional $138,000 for janitorial at City Hall. The majority of this is for the RCMP offices as there are time restrictions of when cleaning can be done and the contractors must be screened under Federal security provisions to be
in the area, detailed material circulated to Council. Other service contract increases are $60,000 in the Parkland Regional Library Levy and $70,000 for the transit services contract. Another unknown moving forward are new contracts with the City’s two unions. As of Dec. 31, 2015 both the CUPE and the IAFF Union contracts expired. Staffing increases for 2016 are limited to one additional seasonal

Sponsoring refugees in the Yorkton area By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The plight of refugees around the world drives people to want to help out and sponsor refugees in their community. The New Arrivals Network was recently established to give area residents information on what they can do to help and what services are available. They recently hosted a meeting to get people within the community to meet and talk about the process and challenges of sponsoring refugees, with around thirty people coming together to get information on the issue. Tom Seeley with the New Arrivals Network says that they had a suspicion that there were people interested in the subject. “Dick DeRyk and myself wondered if there was an interest in the community in doing more about refugee sponsorship, and couldn’t really find any other group that was bringing people together, so we thought we would create one to do that. Be a conduit for information and a place to network.” One of the groups at the event was St. Andrew’s
United Church, which is sponsoring a woman and her young daughter from Eretria to come to the city, with the family’s arrival expected in January or February. Chelsea Grunert with the church says that she’s impressed to see the amount of people coming together who are open and willing to help. “Some of the bigger cities are taking in a lot of Syrian refugees, and we’re not one of those cities, but we can still do our part in Yorkton by helping other refugees from other parts of the world.” Grunert says their church was inspired to sponsor a refugee family after hearing stories of refugees through the news, and seeing what other people are doing in refugee sponsorship. While this is the first family St. Andrew’s is sponsoring, she says that the larger United Church has made it easier because they sponsor refugees across the country. “We are doing this sponsorship as a church, but there are a lot of members of our group who are helping with the sponsorship who are not members of the church. We have about 40
people in our group that are a mix of community members... People who just want to help in any way they can.” Grunert says that the evening was helpful as they prepare for the family’s arrival. One of the other attendees worked in settling refugees in Australia, so Grunert says that they were able to learn many things from her already. “We can work as a cohesive group in Yorkton, and have resources and other people who can help.” Seeley sees the group as continuing to make Yorkton a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees, and that people sharing their experiences can help make the process easier. “Our suspicion was that there are a lot of caring people in Yorkton and area, and our suspicion was proved correct.” Those who would like to know more about what the New Arrivals Network is doing and find information on refugee sponsorship can visit goodthingshappen.ca. Information about St. Andrews’ program can be found at www.standrews yorkton.ca/refugee.
HELPING REFUGEES in Yorkton is one of the goals of the New Arrivals Network, which recently hosted an information meeting about refugee sponsorship in the Yorkton area. Chelsea Grunert speaks about St. Andrew’s United Church’s sponsorship of a small family from Eretria, which will be coming to Yorkton in the next couple of months.
City of Yorkton approves 2016 budget The Capital Budget includes multi-year projects, such as the Main Sanitary Sewer Truck Main Outfall, the Rehabilitation of the Existing Sanitary Sewer, the Drainage Channel Improvements and the Culverts under Highway #9 have been adjusted to only include the preliminary work of the project in 2016. The actual construction of the projects will not be completed
until 2017 at the earliest. If it is determined that these projects are to proceed then they will require long term financing in 2017. In addition, after discussions with Council the document includes projects which may not proceed in 2016 until after the review of operations has been complete. These include the City Transit Bus, Drake Field Spray Pad, Gloria Hayden Court Walls and the Farrell Agencies
Arena Expansion. The estimated costs of these projects have been removed, however if Council wishes to add any of them back to budget we would just need to update the long term financing that is required to fund the 2016 Capital Budget. The 2016 Capital Budget will be $19,786,355, which would require long term financing to carry out. The amount to be borrowed would be approxi-
mately $6,200,000. “Our increase of just 3.9 per cent compares favourably when you look at increases in Regina (3.3 per cent) and Saskatoon (3.96 per cent), said the city’s Director of Finance, Shannon Bell in the same release. “This budget focuses on providing the same services more effectively and at a reduced cost,” she said. “These are challenging times as all cities face the large gap in funding to replace
aging infrastructure. We recognize that large property tax increases cannot continue year after year, and Council and administration have worked hard to find new efficiencies in the way we do business to hold increases to a minimum,” she said. Infrastructure replacement and renewal are becoming the most pressing issues across Canada. As an example, Yorkton has approximately 150 kilometres of paved roadways, with 88
Yorkton co-winner of the Sledtown Showdown By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton. The city was named the co-winner of SnoRiders West Magazine’s SledTown Showdown competition with Houston, B.C. Problems with the online voting system meant that the competition ended in a tie for the two cities. Jason Popowich, president of the Yorkton SnoRiders, says that the title is a reflection of the work the club has put into building a trail network in the region. “It’s a credit to the good job our club members do fundraising to make sure our trails and shelters are in tip top shape.” While the club’s work
is what got the city noticed, Popowich says it’s the community support that made the title happen. “It was really fantastic support. The whole community got involved, it was really the talk of the town. Our residents of Yorkton and surrounding area, our local tourism, our local Chamber of Commerce, our community leaders, our mayor, our local MLA Greg Ottenbreit, of course the local media. It was just fantastic how everyone got behind our club in this promotion and voted. There were over 40,000 votes cast in this competition, and we wouldn’t have gotten near as many votes if it wasn’t for the great support of Yorkton
and area.” The community will also benefit from the competition, because it’s a way to drive winter tourism into the city. A competition like this is a way to call attention to how much Yorkton has to offer, Popowich says. “The next time someone is planning their snowmobile vacation, which many do in the winter time, from Alberta or Manitoba or B.C., they’re going to flip through the magazine and see that Yorkton was in the final.” Popowich also gives credit to the other 16 towns from the province in the competition. While
Yorkton won, he says it’s a strong province overall. “Just to be named provincial champion was certainly very rewarding, because there are so many great destinations. That has to do with the entire trail system organized by the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association. If the other clubs in the province didn’t do a good job, our trails wouldn’t connect to nobody. It’s a hat’s off to the entire province.” Popowich also extends his congratulations to Houston, B.C., the cowinner in the competition. While it ended in a tie due to technical prob-
lems, he says the sheer amount of support from both towns pushing the polling system to the limit is what did it, and he says that they also did lots of hard work in the competition, and hopes the friendly rivalry can continue. “I hope we’re in the same position next year.” It wasn’t the only good news for snowmobile enthusiasts in the area. More snow finally arrived, and cold weather came to freeze some of the creeks that have caused trouble in the past month. “2016 is a great way to start off the season.”
per cent in either poor or fair condition. All will need to be resurfaced soon or they will deteriorate to the point where they must be completely rebuilt at a greatly increased cost. “Yorkton has made good progress in directing a significantly larger portion of our tax dollars to the Capital budget for projects like this,” said Bell. In 2012 Capital allocations were $2,044,000, while in 2016 they will reach $4,667,600.

Responding to climate change So far, this winter has been the warmest for Yorkton in 63 years. The hero in this story, or villain depending on your perspective, is a warm mass of surface water in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that occurs periodically and has been dubbed El Nino. On average, for Yorkton, the average temperature in October-November-December was approximately five degrees warmer than normal. This is how an El Nino year usually affects the Canadian prairies, with milder and drier winters. While this year El Nino is responsible for the balmy conditions, the current week notwithstanding, within the next few decades, this could become the norm for Saskatchewan. Nobody knows precisely how climate change will play out is specific parts of the world, but the best science suggests we’re looking at a global average temperature rise of approximately two degrees Celcius. Researchers believe that will not be distributed evenly across the planet with northern regions, including the Yorkton area, warming significantly more than southern regions, perhaps as much as six degrees on average according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. We will have to adapt. For many people that sounds like an easy task, but adapting means a lot more than simply getting used to being more comfortable in the dark days of winter. For years, Canada has thrown up its hands and said, “but what can we do?” Although we are one of the most intense users of energy per capita, our small population means we contribute significantly less than many other countries to the overall climate change picture. Locally, efforts to stem climate change can seem even more futile, but we have to stop thinking like that if not for noble reasons then for economic ones. Economic adaptation means moving away from the boom and bust cycle of fossil fuels. Unlike the United States, Canada gets slammed hard whenever there is a slump in oil prices. The U.S. is actually benefitting from current economic conditions while the TSX is setting records for losses and the dollar is in the toilet flirting with all time lows. The Yorkton region is still primarily agricultural. Climate change could present both opportunities and challenges for producers and we should be getting ready now to take advantage of benefits such as longer growing seasons and lower input costs and to mitigate potential hazards such as more severe droughts and increased crop pests and disease. There are other things we should be doing locally, such as contributing to a shift toward the renewables economy. We live in a windy place with more sunshine than almost anywhere else in Canada. There are opportunities here. Saskatchewan has at least a dozen programs to help businesses and individuals exploit those opportunities. The federal government has many others and all indications are it plans to introduce more. Climate change is happening and there will be winners and losers. Every person should be asking himself, what can I do to ensure my family, my community, my city, my province and my country is among the former.
Prisoners can make prison food There is this idea that prison should be the worst place in the world. That much is clear whenever you see someone complain about inmates having leisure activities or, in the case of the province’s own premier recently, the belief that they should have decent food. The idea is that prison is punishment, so people within prison should expect nothing, and get nothing in return. The question is whether that view of prison is the most effective way of actually running a prison. To be clear, prison should be punishment to an extent, but then taking away freedom is inherently punishing. The main goal of prisons should be to ensure that the inmates within their walls, once their sentences are complete, do not return. If someone leaves the prison only to commit another crime and come back, then that prison is a failure, because it was not a deterrent, but it also wasn’t rehabilitation. It was a pause between crimes, rather than a way to actually do something about it. When inmates at the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre protested food quality with a hunger strike, some argued that the bad food was part of the punishment. However, it seems like the bad food is an opportunity to look at a way to run the kitchen within the prison differently. One of the ways to reduce recidivism is to prepare inmates for re-entry into society, and here we have an example of how to use the quality of food at the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre as a chance to actually try to build those skills. We have a kitchen, a bunch of people who do not think the food coming out of it is very good, and an opportunity. Turn the kitchen over to inmates themselves, or at least inmates with good behavior who can be trusted with the responsibility. It’s a plan that’s already often used in minimum security facilities. It’s a smart idea, it’s preparation for life outside of prison, because it sets inmates up for careers in the food industry. Inmates can’t really complain too much about food quality because they’re making it and they’re ultimately responsible for how good or bad it tastes. Cost-wise, whether it’s more or less expensive than bringing in a contractor it is more effective at serving the purpose of the prison itself, which is to get people who are incarcerated to be more productive. While it might not be appropriate for all inmates in a facility like Regina to work in the kitchen, it still seems like something that can be kept within the prison system itself, and since it’s being handled by contractors anyway then just contract it to those minimum security prisons which handle food production training. It’s a thought, at least, an alternate way of look-
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger ing at a potential problem within the prison system. It’s an approach to look at just because every problem within the prison system should be approached as a way to promote rehabilitation within the population. If we can use this to find a way to prevent people from returning to prison after their release then we should, and if prisoners are complaining at least we should find a way to take their complaints into account in a way that would benefit society at large. Which makes it more disappointing that the response from Premier Brad Wall was to just dismiss the complaints completely. Yes, being in prison means you’re giving up freedom, including freedom over what you get to eat at any given point. But the response of just ignoring inmate complaints doesn’t actually solve anything, even if the goal of such comments actually was not about solving anything. The purpose of his comments was about appealing to the streak of prairie populism that has lead to his high poll numbers, rather than actually responding to what the complaints actually were. He knows as well as anyone that he has supporters who are all about prisoners getting punished for crimes, even if his government has at least publicly recognized the value of rehabilitation and building job skills in inmates – Minister Responsible for Corrections and Policing Christine Tell has told me that they want to take approaches that make inmates productive members of society. And to paraphrase Brad Wall again, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is foolish, so feeding prisoners the same food and expecting much to change within the walls of the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre is not going to work either. It’s going to make problems for guards and inmates, as it already has, so clearly there needs to be a new approach. While there’s plenty of obstacles to overcome, having the corrections system be the primary contractor for their own food, whether with inmates within Regina or from other facilities, is at least a way to use the food service for the primary purpose of the prison system, preventing people from ever coming back.

An Occultation, and That Comet Again With temperatures more like we’re used to seeing in January, most star gazing will be brief even for the dedicated. However, because I know Saskatchewan people are hardy, and laugh in the face of winter, I would be remiss in not pointing out a few events for the week; just a couple, though, so you’ll have plenty of time in between to get that frostbite looked after. After giving us a chance to find it by buzzing Arcturus on New Year’s Day, Comet Catalina is now rapidly working its way along
the handle of the Big Dipper (currently found low in the northern sky with its handle pointed downward). On the 14th, the comet passes a degree (thumb width) to the left of the end star in the handle, and on the 17th, about three degrees to the left of the handle’s middle star. It will continue to move northward about three degrees per day, and by January 30th will lie seven degrees to the east of the North Star. Someone with good vision might be able to spot Catalina from the country with their eyes
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. alone, but it’s generally considered a binocular object. Catalina was formed in our solar system roughly the same time as the Earth, and is now leaving. While not spectacular, it’s nice that it paid us a brief visit before beginning its billion year journey to
nowhere in particular. Unless you occasionally pop out to see how Catalina’s doing, you’re good indoors until the night of the 19th. On this Tuesday, the Moon will occult (eclipse) the bright star Aldebaran, an orange giant 44 times the Earth’s diameter,
lying 65 light years away in the constellation Taurus. At about 7:45 p.m., the Moon’s dark left limb will slide over Aldebaran and the star will wink out, emerging again out the other side of the Moon just before 9 p.m. That’s it. Not Earthshattering, but less common than you’d think. Unfortunately, because the Moon is only four days short of full, it will wash out most of the southern sky, making it difficult, without binoculars or a telescope, to see Aldebaran near the Moon.
The two events above are not spectacular in themselves, and would normally have passed without notice. Most star stuff does, because the universe is a very busy place, I have less than five hundred words a week, and you have a life. However, be it the bright constellations of winter in the evening sky or the planet tricks currently playing out before sunrise, the universe is always doing something, and I just feel compelled to point it out. When the feeling returns to your finger tips, you’ll thank me.
Your letter of the Week Refugees fuel Canada’s economic growth The arrival of Syrian refugees to Canada will be a humanitarian triumph and, like with previous refugees, a benefit to the economy Canada has always had a soft spot for refugees who have shaped our nation’s history, fuelled its economic growth, defined its social fabric and influenced its political direction. This tradition began most significantly in 1783 with the arrival of United Empire Loyalists seeking safe haven from the American Revolution. About 33,000 settled in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with another 2,000 to Prince Edward Island and 10,000 or so more to modern day Quebec and Ontario. They were followed in the 19th century by, among others, Poles, Ukrainians and Jews who fled from oppression and persecution and wound up building Canada into the great nation it is today. Canadians have long been known and recognized not only for humanitarian actions but also for understanding the passion and value refugees bring.
In 1986, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees conferred the Nansen Medal upon the people of Canada in recognition of that tradition which since the Second World War has welcomed waves of refugees from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Uganda, Chile, China and Vietnam, to say nothing of the many displaced Europeans who sought a better post war life here. The Syrians are but the most recent manifestation and there is no reason to expect they will not, like those who came before, work hard to build a better life and a richer, stronger Canada. In what has become the world’s largest humanitarian crisis in close to 70 years, more than four million people have fled Syria since the conflicts there began. In 2015, more than one million crossed into Europe and Canada has committed to accepting 25,000, close to 7,000 of whom have already arrived, over the next few months. By chance and while on a weeklong working visit to Greece last month, I encountered two busloads of these people and they were not what one
would assume to be typical refugees. Most were well nourished and part of healthy young families. They were elegantly dressed, articulate and had money. They doted on their children, buying them sweets, chocolate bars and pop. Clearly, they were a segment of the Syrian middle class fleeing their war torn country in search of political stability and economic opportunity. There was nothing about them to justify the mythical rhetoric that refugees are a security risk, a drain on the public treasury and a burden on our health care system. Canada screens diligently and carefully for security and health risks. In fact, coming to Canada as a refugee is twice as difficult as being admitted as an economic migrant. This is because admission as a refugee in Canada requires United Nations certification. Further, applicants need to possess the human capital and work skills that will lead to successful integration in our society and economy. The arrival of the latest wave of Syrians in the past few weeks is more than an act of collective Canadian com-
passion. It is an investment - a tool for addressing our population challenges which in turn gives us the manpower necessary to fuel our economic growth. Expect this wave of refugees, just as those who came before have done, to empower us with their entrepreneurial talents, start new businesses, invest, spend on homes, cars and other items, join our workforce and enroll in our schools. All of this will grow our economy. In short, the Syrian movement will, similar to the influx of previous waves of refugees throughout our history, become a driver of population growth and economic activity. The arrival of Syrian refugees to Canada will be both a humanitarian triumph and an economic lift off Dr. Constantine Passaris is a Professor of Economics at the University of New Brunswick and a national research affiliate of the Prentice Institute for Global Economy and Population at the University of Lethbridge (Canada). © 2016 Distributed by Troy Media

column will focus on cutting techniques. There are many choices when trying to decide on which knives will adorn the collection of cutting tools in your kitchen. The marketplace is saturated with everything from mail-order deals to high-end specialties. First and foremost, I have to stress that one usually gets what they pay for. Before you reach for your credit card when you see the full collection of ginsu knives for only $19.99 on TV, think about it realistically. How well are these knives manufactured?

Using Knives in the Kitchen - Part 1 made from stainless steel, but unless it is has a highcarbon content as well, it will lose its sharpness very quickly in comparison. Start with a standard “Chef’s” knife. Other than for bread cutting, this is the most versatile knife one can have in the kitchen, and can be used for almost any application. It offers a rounded top edge of the blade that facilitates a rocking motion to ease most cutting/slicing preparations. The next knife one should purchase for their collection is a good quality serrated knife for bread cutting. The serrated edge will not only produce perfect slices of bread without squashing the bread; it also brings relief to producing extremely thin cuts of fruits and vegetables. One should also purchase a paring knife because a chef’s knife might be overkill for those small jobs. These are the three main knives that should grace the starting foundation of your knife collection. From this point on, you can proceed to adding other knives such as a carving knife, filet knife, cleaver, vegetable knife, etc. Continued on Page 7A
THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, January 14, 2016 - Page 7A
International sized ice not to Canadians liking As is our habit in this country, we will analyze any result in hockey to death. And who am I to not follow that pattern. In this case it’s the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship just completed in Finland. Canada struggled mightily at this edition of the championships managing only two wins in five games 6-1 over Denmark, and a 2-1 shoot-out win against Switzerland, a teams which would end up in the best-of-three against Belarus to avoid demotion next year. The Swiss would win, salvaging what for them had to be viewed as a year of disappointment too. Canada managed only 13 goals in pool play, third in the group behind Sweden with 19 and the United States with 18. And the young Canucks allowed a whopping 12 goals, while the US and Swedes gave up but five apiece. The Danes allowed 16. In the end Canada fin-
ished sixth, which by any standards you might want to hold the team to as a failure. There are some obvious reasons, including suspect defence and the fact the team took too many illtimed penalties against highly skilled teams aided by the larger ice surface to work with. However, in isolation one bad championship should not send a shudder of worry through the Canadian hockey system. But alas, this is not exactly a bad year in isolation. Yes, Canada won the gold medal a year ago, on Canadian ice, but that was the first gold since 2009, when the championships were also held in Canada. In 2010 in Canada the team ended up with silver, losing to the US, and a year later again on North American ice, this time stateside, lost to Russia to again bring home silver. The event was in Canada in 2012 too, and that year we took the bronze.
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels You have to go back to 2008 to find Canada managing a medal on European-sized ice. So the first trend we see is that our teams are not at home on larger ice. Since Junior players here aspire to the National Hockey League and its North American size ice surfaces maybe we need to simply understand that when these championships are in Europe we will struggle as often as not. And frankly we should be fortunate the map in Europe has changed dramatically post the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The teams in the cham-
pionships today are far more fragmented because of the changed map of Europe. In the most recent championship players from Belarus would have not so long ago been available to the team from the USSR (with Russia at its heart). Latvia, which won the next pool down and will thus join the tournament in 2017 was also part of the USSR, as was Kazakhstan, also a ‘Group A’ country. The current Czech Republic and Slovakia were not so long ago a single entity as well. There is also another factor at work here. Hockey today, at least at
the elite level, is increasingly a sport for the rich. The cost of equipment, fees, travel, hockey schools and elite team events, are frankly taking the game away from many families these days. Yes, there are programs to help kids play, but once you take that commitment to the elite level it becomes a burden many cannot afford. The situation is not likely so different in Europe, but Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and Denmark are all among the top-20 countries in terms of average annual incomes. That factor should not be under-played when considering why those countries seem to be making gains on the hockey ice. Canada is in that top-20 too, but it does show that the top teams in Europe have the money to create top hockey players. It comes down to Canada, at the Junior level at least, no longer being the dominant team destined for gold just by turning up at the champion-
ships. In fact, on larger ice, we are likely a long shot to win most years. But is that a bad thing? Certainly not. The international game having a more competitive field is great. Since Canada’s gold in 2009 five different countries have won the Junior crown. In my mind that is a good thing. And Canada ultimately can still focus on producing North American pro players, and this country still excels at that too. On a positive international note Canada did win the Spengler Cup over the holidays defeating HC Lugano 4-3 in the gold medal game. Matt D’Agostini (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont./GenèveServette HC, SUI) broke open a tie game with 11:47 to go for the title. It was Canada’s first win since 2012, and fifth title since 2000. They were silver medalists a half dozen times over the same period.
And the winner is... 2016 All-American Selections winners Each year, the AllAmerican Selections (AAS) organization (www.all-americanselections.org) tests several new, yet-to-be released vegetable and flower varieties in trial gardens across North America including Canada. Varieties are evaluated for earliness to bloom or harvest, disease or pest tolerance, novel colors or flavors, novel flower forms, total yield, length of flowering or harvest and overall performance. To be recognized as an All-American Selection winner, a variety must have at least two significantly improved qualities over similar, existing varieties. This year, AAS announced 3 winners in the flower category: ‘Brocade Cherry Night’ geranium, ‘Brocade Fire’ geranium and ‘Summer Jewel™ Lavender’ salvia. ‘Brocade Cherry Night’ geranium: The green-rimmed, dark bronze leaves are striking on their own but are brought to life by the semi-double, bright cherry pink blooms. A compact mound, 20 to 60 cm
tall, this sturdy variety is heat tolerant, has low to medium water requirements (allow to dry out between watering), is rain and wind tolerant and performs well in all light conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Flowering continues through to frost; deadheading will keep the appearance looking neat and promote even more blooms. Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g. 20-20-20) bi-weekly to get the most out of this winner. Great for containers, hanging baskets and in the garden (space 40 cm apart). ‘Brocade Fire’ geranium: Large semi-double orange blooms complement the bold bicoloured leaves (a broad green edge surrounds an orangey-red centre). Outside of leaf and flower colour,
‘Brocade Fire’ is similar in all other respects to its sister, ‘Brocade Cherry Night’, above. ‘Summer Jewel™ Lavender’ salvia: Salvias are extremely popular and were one of my mother’s favourite flowers in the garden. And with good reason: they are dependable and flower throughout the summer requiring little care. This new variety, ‘Summer Jewel™ Lavender’, is sure to please with its unique dusty lavender-purple blooms standing tall above green foliage.
Flowering continuously from spring to fall, it does well in containers and the garden (space 20 to 30 cm apart). Heat, rain and wind tolerant, this sturdy variety grows from 20 to 60 cm in height. And it’s not just us humans that think it’s
good-looking: bees, butterflies and even humming birds find this stunning plant attractive. Plant in full sun and keep soil evenly moist. A bonus: deadheading not required. By the way, this is not the first in the Summer Jewel™ series to be a recognized – Summer Jewel™ White (2015), Pink (2012) and Red (2011) are past AAS winners.

Using knives in the kitchen Cont’ from Page 6A Most good quality knives will offer a full tang, meaning that the steel blade will run through the full length of the handle as well. This will offer more balance and control. Most importantly, ask questions and ask to handle the knives to ensure they offer a comfortable companionship with your unique hand. If a retail store is not informative about their products, and will not allow you to handle them, then take your business to one that will. Dear Chef Dez: I am already assuming that you will not recommend buying those full sets of knives for a really low
price from TV, but they must be good if they offer a lifetime guarantee that they will never need sharpening. How can they do this? Is there a catch? Doris B. Burnaby, BC Dear Doris: I am assuming that the knives you are referring to are the same that I have seen. Although they are stainless steel, they offer a very low carbon content which makes them very soft steel in comparison, and thus less expensive to manufacture. Since all of the edges on these knives are serrated, they will keep their sharpness for a longer period of time than a straight edged
knife, because the cutting is achieved by tearing at the food rather than slicing through it. They can offer a “lifetime guarantee” because they play on normal human behavior. Chances are if they ever do need sharpening/replacing, one is not going to spend the money to ship them back to the manufacturer. Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Travel Host & Cookbook Author.

The Travelling Mabels A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/ country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audience expectations. www.thetravellingmabels.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door. www.yorktonarts.ca Volunteers Needed!
