Take a seat and help the Anne Portnuff

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Anne Portnuff Theatre, and the Yorkton Regional High School itself, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2017. In those 50 years, countless performers and students have graced the stage. Countless people have sat in the seats to watch them, and now those seats are showing the results of 50 years of continuous use.

The need to replace the seats is purely practical, explains Tonia Vermette with the Yorkton Arts Council and the fundraising committee. The structure of the seats is beginning to fail and the fabric on top is wearing out.

“If you have a look around you’ll notice a lot of duct tape. Things have been re-upholstered but some of the structure is not that supportive anymore... They’ve been here since 1967, so we decided to partner with the Good

Spirit School Division and the Yorkton Regional High School and City of Yorkton to raise money to upgrade the theatre.”

The budget for the new seating is $300,000, and they are looking for the support of the community to help raise that goal. Vermette says they’re also applying for several grants, and the GSSD has built a fund of $54,000 from an override collected on paid performance at the theatre.

They will accept any amount, but people and businesses donating over $350 can buy a seat. The plan is to have commemorative plaques on the purchased seats, pending GSSD approval.

The seats are the only flaw in what is otherwise an excellent theatre, Vermette says, one which has allowed the performing arts to flourish in the city. It has been praised by people who have performed here – Jack Semple, for example, called it one of his favor-

ite venues Saskatchewan.

“Other communities of our size can’t boast such a well-equipped, acoustically wonderful theatre with such a big stage, the ability to have a pit band for the high school musicals. We’ve had the entire Regina Symphony Orchestra on this stage a couple of times,” Vermette says.

The best case scenario would be to have money raised by the summer of 2017, in order to have the seats installed by the theatre’s 50th anniversary. Vermette adds that for many of the grants, they have to spend the money right away, so a deadline of June 2018 is firm in order to apply for those grants.

The distinctive orange hue of the seats remains an open question, as it depends on the supplier selected offers orange fabric. Right now, since the fundraising campaign has just begun,

use the facility, they want a comfortable seat above all else.

October is Community Living Month The Government of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed October as Community Living Month in Saskatchewan.

Community Living Month celebrates the staff and volunteers of the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living (SACL) and the invaluable work they do in assisting individuals

experiencing intellectual disabilities. SACL’s mission is to ensure that these individuals are supported as well as included, and have opportunities and choices in all aspects of life.

“We have worked with SACL on the transition of individuals from Valley View Centre into the community, developing the self-

directed funding model, and many other disability services,” Social Services Minister Tiny Beaudry-Mellor said. “I am pleased to shine a spotlight on their work and celebrate the positive impacts they make in the lives of individuals experiencing disabilities.”

“Including someone with an intellectual dis-

ability in any and all activities can have a profound effect on their happiness and quality of life,” SACL President Gloria Mahussier said.

“We invite everyone to join us on our journey to make this province a better place for people of all abilities.”

“The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to making sus-

tainable programs that are responsive, innovative and accessible so that people experiencing disabilities can live the dignified life they choose,” Beaudry-Mellor said.

In June 2015, a comprehensive Disability Strategy was released by the Government of Saskatchewan.

It includes six priority

areas including: transportation, respite, accessibility legislation, residential services, service co-ordination and navigation, and awareness/ understanding of the rights of people experiencing disabilities.

“Our motto is, we’d rather prevent than respond,” Morrissey said, adding prevention is a year-round activity for the fire department.

Maloney hoped everyone would get involved.

Luck lead to the creation of Fortunate Ones

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It was a bit of luck and a bit of confidence that lead to the creation of Fortunate Ones. The Newfoundland-based folk-pop duo began almost by chance, and it has turned into a new project for singers Andrew James O’Brien and Catherine Allan.

The duo got together in 2010, when O’Brien was playing with Allan’s brother in a band. She began to sing at a break in rehearsal, and O’Brien immediately decided that they needed to sing together.

“I thought her voice was absolutely amazing.

We were rehearsing, her brother and I, for an album release show a friend of ours was putting on, and I said to her that if she could learn a few songs by tomorrow night she wouldn’t have to pay cover to get in.”

That was the first time the duo sang together, but they began as a duo in 2013. O’Brien says that the collaboration was a natural one.

“We just kind of clicked right away musically, and our voices seemed to blend almost effortlessly. We were meant to be together in that way.”

The group put out their first album in 2015, and the process of recording helped them define their sound, says O’Brien. He credits recording with Daniel

Ledwell with getting the band focused on defining their sound.

“At that time we were still pretty green in terms of the direction we wanted to go in. The production quality and the instrumentation we explored on the album had a lot to do with Dan’s influence. It translated to our live show where it is today. With every record you want to try to grow, and that is certainly us. Because we were so new at the time, there was nothing to do but grow.”

The next release from the group will be a Christmas EP called “All Will Be Well,” something that came from the duo’s shared love of Christmas music. O’Brien admits that they’re the kind of people that start playing Christmas music the moment they see a snowflake, so recording Christmas music was something that was inevitable for the duo.

“For both of us, it harkens back to times when our families were younger and the memories of Christmas are always so great. The music is so meaningful to us in a lot of ways, especially in that nostalgic remembrance.”

Nostalgic can describe much of their work, from the largely autobiographical first album to the upcoming Christmas release, and O’Brien admits that they’re happy that they have good memories to build from.

“I think looking back

The Saskatchewan tour is getting the band off the beaten path, and visiting a wide range of towns across the province. O’Brien is excited to get to places where he’s never been before,

describing it as one of the joys of being a touring musician.

“I can’t imagine, if I wasn’t doing this, visiting the places that we have over the past few years. It’s really an honor to come and play for new audiences, it’s always a unique pleasure to know there’s an interest in

what you’re creating all over the country and beyond.”

Meeting new people and new audiences is what O’Brien wants to do, and he hopes that their music can connect with the crowd.

“The most important thing that we do is try to make a connection with

the people that we play for.”

Fortunate Ones will be in Yorkton on October 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Anne Portnuff Theatre as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series.

Thanksgiving feast for students at YRHS Thanksgiving tradition begins with a big meal. The family of Raiders at Yorkton Regional High School

had their own family feast, with 75 turkeys prepared for the student body.

The idea for the feast came from two YRHS teachers, Roby Sharpe and Jennifer Ingham

says Mike Haczkewicz, Principal at YRHS. The teachers realized that many students at the school did not have the opportunity to have a Thanksgiving meal of their own. The result of

that discussion was a desire to have a school meal, to have a big feast for every student.

“They started to think, how many kids have gone home to no turkey?

How many kids have

gone home to never a turkey? We’re the land of orange, we’re a family of Raiders, we should be able to give these kids a turkey lunch.”

The meal was prepared by superannuated teachers from YRHS. Haczkewicz says the school appreciates everything these teachers do, even as they enter their retirement.

“The world revolves around superannuated teachers. Whether you need them to substitute in your building or do projects like this, they always lend a hand.”

Those most excited about the meal were the students, and a building full of growing teenagers promised that every ounce of turkey would soon disappear.

This is a first for the school, but Haczkewicz says they’re always open to starting new traditions and this is one thing that the school can do to get everyone together.

“These are the projects that pull your staff together, the kids together and build a strong team.”

I NSIGHTS EDITORIAL

INTERIM PUBLISHER: Jim Ambrose

WRITER: Devin Wilger SALES: Michaela Miller

CIRCULATION/ADMIN: Michaela Miller

The scars of the Sixties Scoop Last week, law firms in Toronto and Battleford made Saskatchewan the fourth province to register a “Sixties Scoop” class action lawsuit against the federal government.

It is a legal battle, but one fraught with the heaviest emotional baggage imaginable.

“Sixties Scoop” is a term that refers to thousands of Aboriginal children who were “scooped” from their families between 1962 and 1996 and put into foster care or adopted out, largely to middle class non-Aboriginal families.

The Saskatchewan suit, brought by Koskie Minsky LLP of Toronto and Sunchild Law of Battleford, alleges “scooped” children were denied their Aboriginal identity and thereby suffered mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

The plaintiffs are seeking $200 million for breach of fiduciary duty (failing to act in the best interest of the children) and $50 million in punitive damages. The legal team is currently looking for class members to join the class action.

The federal government has yet to respond to the Saskatchewan suit, but despite the 2015 election that installed an ostensibly more First Nations-friendly government in Ottawa, it continues to fight the suits. In Ontario Superior Court just last month Canada lawyers argued the government acted in the best interest of the children, according to the social norms of the day and within its legal rights.

The plaintiffs in that case are not even arguing the “scoop” was illegal or that the government was not acting in the best interest of the children, only that it failed in its obligation to maintain oversight of the children’s welfare visà-vis preserving their cultural identity.

That case was slated for trial to begin August 23, but government lawyers sought a delay and the justices gave them until December 1. Both sides have hinted they are hoping in the interim they can reach a negotiated settlement.

Canadians like to think we have put these things in our past, that we are superior to, for example, our neighbours to the south who have a race problem, but these legal actions underscore the very pertinent reality that we have a race problem in Canada.

It can be as extreme as those still among us who view First Nations people as many of our ancestors did as savages in need of saving from themselves and who view the horrific problems experienced by many Aboriginal people to this day as the result of defects of character, not the legacy of residential schools and systemic racism.

Our racism can be sympathetic to root causes but foster lament, such as “how long must we continue to pay for the sins of our fathers?”

And it can be as subtle as those who ennoble First Nations culture, while continuing to take a paternalistic attitude toward the people’s wellbeing.

It can be many things, but it is an ongoing problem, the solutions to which are elusive and extraordinarily complex and one reason why we end up with class action lawsuits.

The beginning is simple, however. We must start with seeing the persons behind the class action. Each and every name that goes on those court documents is a living, breathing human being. A person who was plucked from his or her family, perhaps with good reason, perhaps not, but a person with an individual history, a unique personality and hopes, dreams, problems and fears, just like all of us.

Racism, sexism, ageism, all the ‘isms’ share a common characteristic with class actions in that individual persons become objectified group members, but within every identifiable group there is as much human diversity as there is between groups.

News, such as lawsuits, are bound to evoke strong emotions. Ironically, in due course, the legal issues will be resolved through the most unemotional of processes.

What is left is for all of us to recognize each other’s humanity.

Plain packaging plain great The tobacco industry doesn’t like the idea of plain packaging laws. They are spending a great deal of money on a large ad campaign to try to convince people that plain packaging is bad, calling it “Both sides of the issue.” I will now outline both sides of the issue below, because it doesn’t need much more than a couple sentences.

The Canadian government would prefer if people didn’t take up smoking, and is proposing packaging that is just one color with the name of the brand and the obligatory giant health warnings in order to make smoking less appealing. The tobacco industry would prefer if people did smoke, so they don’t want their packaging to be less appealing, so they want people to think plain packaging is a bad idea. That’s it, both sides of the issue clearly outlined.

The strange case is that the tobacco industry’s aggressive fight against plain packaging is inadvertently playing right into the hands of the groups who advocate for it. They are spending millions of dollars trying to convince people it’s a bad idea, aggressively trying to prevent Canada from going the way of Australia and implementing plain packaging laws. If one had any doubts of the efficacy of plain packaging laws, the sheer amount of opposition provided by the tobacco industry might have the opposite result.

Without an onslaught of tobacco industry advertising, I might actually question the necessity for plain packaging rules myself. One barely even sees cigarettes anymore, since they tend to be hidden under lock and key at many convenience stores.

The warnings on current packaging are graphic and unappealing no matter how good the graphic design underneath them, and as a non-smoker I’ve never been tempted to pick up the habit either way.

Anecdotally, then, the plain packaging law would not really affect me, because the gross warning label law has already had that effect. I don’t want to smoke.

Which is not to say I had any opposition to the plain packaging law, I just didn’t see it as necessary. However, thanks to the tobacco industry’s own ad campaign, I’m now all for it, because it must be effective in reducing smoking rates. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t be spending so much time, money and effort trying to convince me that it was a bad idea. Since the tobacco industry’s goal, worldwide, is to sell more cigarettes, they would not spend money on a campaign if the proposed laws were not effective in preventing people from purchasing cigarettes. There is not a more convincing argument in this case than the tobacco industry’s own fight against implementing it.

Things I do with words...

Column

Devin Wilger The tobacco industry should have known better, they’ve had some experience trying to get people to form the opposite opionion via advertising. I remember a series of print ads from my youth which the industry was required to pay for, an anti-smoking campaign that even at the time seemed deliberately designed to make smoking seem cool through a combination of deliberately dated slang and weird word choice. It went “Tobacco is whacko if you’re a teen.” Which suggests that tobacco is not whacko for people who are not teens, of course. As a teen at the time, I could tell that something was off about this ad, it seemed just too tone deaf, just enough out of touch to make kids like me dismiss it. And then I saw the fine print that said it was produced by a tobacco company, and it all made sense. Of course the ad was offputting to actual teenagers, that was the goal all along. It was an attempt to make smoking seem like something those out of touch adults don’t want you to do, and there is nothing a teenager wants to do more than something a nearby adult disapproves of, especially when they use a word like “whacko.”

It’s easy to understand their desperation, tobacco simply isn’t cool anymore, and plain packaging laws are just another way to chip away at any perception of cool that tobacco may have had. You can’t smoke in public buildings, chasing smokers outside and making smokers huddle outside in the cold on a winter day makes them look sad. It’s getting increasingly uncommon in entertainment, partially because tobacco use does get called out on parental warnings now. Advertising is regulated enough that you can’t actually see cigarette companies in the public consciousness as much, and their old habit of sponsoring events is not possible now either – Formula 1, for example, used to rake in millions from cigarette advertising, but no longer does. Packaging was the last way that a cigarette company could convince people that smoking was cool. No wonder they are fighting tooth and nail to keep plain packaging from getting into practice, they’ve got nothing left. Meanwhile, more people are avoiding picking up that cigarette, including myself, and I would argue that’s a good thing.

Finding Stuff with your Hands Have you noticed that it feels unusually cold outside these evenings?

In March, plus 2 will feel downright balmy, but we’re still in summer mode. Standing around in our backyard at night is not high on our priority list unless there’s a good bonfire going, so I’ll limit this to short, hands mainly in the pockets, stuff.

If you can see down to the western horizon and step out at 6:30pm or so, that bright beacon is Venus. Venus will be with us for the next while, appearing a little higher in the sky each week through February.

In case anyone asks, it currently lies in the constellation Libra.

By 7pm, Venus will have set, and Saturn can be found low in the southwest at 7pm, setting by 8. Don’t confuse it with the bright star Arcturus, higher up straight west. Saturn is on the east edge of Scorpio.

Mars, the Red Planet, can be found a little west of south. It currently lies just above the ‘Teapot’ asterism (star grouping) in Sagittarius.

Take your left hand out of your pocket and make a fist. Extend it in front

Now, being extremely careful to not disturb

anything, carefully remove your fist and instead place your thumb right on Mars.

Pluto lies invisibly above your middle knuckle.

Now move your fist over so that it lies just to the right of the Moon.

You are now in Aquarius, and your thumb covers Neptune. Neptune is a

binocular object, but only on a dark, moonless night and both hands out of your pockets holding binoculars. So, for now, mark that point in the sky and we’ll come back to it in a few weeks.

Now, while this ‘fist’ measurement will work with Mars through the weekend, it works for Neptune only on the 13th because the Moon moves so fast daily. By Saturday the 15th, it will have left Neptune far behind to lie in the constellation Pisces, a couple of finger-widths below Uranus.

Put your hands back

in your pockets. Uranus is a naked eye object under a dark sky, and a gimme with binoculars, but not with the Full Moon just below it.

Again, mark the spot for now.

The way the planets are currently aligned, if you were to begin your day an hour before sunrise to catch Mercury and Jupiter, now that you know where to look, you could see all eight planets, plus Pluto, in the same day, and mostly with your hands in your pockets. Nothing Earth-shattering; just thought you should know.

Family team eases grandparents’ downsizing trauma The full-press family crew marshalled at 9 a.m., minus the grandparents, who were entertained offsite by a caregiver After just cresting 70, Grandpa and Grandma moved from Vancouver to a Vancouver Island retirement home designed for them by their daughter (my wife). Here, 20 years of gardening, fishing, golfing and family visits have passed in an instant.

Now cresting 90, the pleasures of a larger home and two cars have given way to the need for more centralized services (medical, shopping, and visiting), and the end of driving.

One generation back of these realizations, I watch my elders carefully. More to the point, last weekend I participated in their move to a 1,000-square-foot condo as the next phase of life begins.

My marital in-laws are an organized bunch. Among them are a cluster of professions: engineering, architecture, teaching, banking, and dentistry. When confronted with the need to move the grandparents, they mustered a plan and a team of workers that could have taught Henry Ford something about industrial efficiency.

Two sisters and two brothers became joint planners of the move, organizing the sale of the family home, the purchase of the new condo, the selection of the moving company, the planning of the moving weekend, and the assignment of tasks.

I watched with great interest as the house was sold and a right-sized condo purchased in a facility that caters specially to seniors.

Household and personal effects of all kinds that would

not fit in the new place were judiciously allocated to those who could best use them.

As the weeks quickly passed to the moving weekend, the house was somewhat emptied of items that would not fit into the downsizing.

The main moving day fell on a Saturday. The full-press family crew marshalled at 9 a.m., minus the grandparents, who were entertained off-site by a caregiver.

Task assignment was skill-based: the engineer unhooked both home computer system and television, and disappeared to the condo to set up and install technology. The architect and the teacher sorted and packed clothing closets, linen cabinets, and chests of drawers, and planned furniture placement. The banker packed the kitchen up. The college instructor organized the garage cleanup, and

work-bench and garden tool redistribution. The dentist power-washed the driveway and organized the crew catering.

My task was garbage dump runs in my pick-up. I followed directions precisely, only to arrive at what a sign confusingly referred to as a transfer station.

Here I was quickly schooled by the transfer station cashier in a host of new protocols: “Cardboard, wood waste, plaster board, and metal (any object with more than 10 per cent metal in manufacture), goes down below; yard waste goes to that shed over there; household waste goes in the adjacent shed. We don’t take any electronics. You take them to the bottle depot on the highway. Any questions? Report back here after your transfer for weigh-in. Thank-you.”

This isn’t your father’s

garbage dump any more.

Back at the house, the movers were loading scores of carefully packed boxes and large items like sofas and beds into their truck.

The sisters were conducting a final inspection of the empty premises. They next charged me with taking the paintings and framed photographs to the condo for hanging, “because you used to run an art gallery.”

Grandpa’s Saturday football game was turned on and ready for his viewing. Soon the truck was loaded and the entire crew decamped to the condo.

A frenzy of furniture placement (precisely according to plan) and box unpacking followed.

Unbelievably, in just three hours, the condo was provisioned and decorated, complete with familiar art on the walls. I was delegated

to pick up the grandparents, and the dentist disappeared to get a feast of Chinese takeout.

I watched from behind as Grandma and Grandpa entered their new condo to a family chorus of “Welcome home!” Their reactions were joyful and tearful in equal measure. Both gave impromptu speeches of thanks. I am struggling to imagine a better collective use of our weekend. Or a better veneration of elder parents.

Jays finally on a winning roll There is a television ad airing right now that talks about the Toronto Blue Jays post season roster being 36 million strong, alluding of course to the idea all of Canada is behind the team.

I personally love the approach. The Jays should be a Canadian baseball fan’s first love, being the only team in Canada, and at present even having two Canadians. The duo of Russell Martin and Michael Saunders setting a record as the first teammate Canucks to each have 20 home runs.

So we should be jumping on the bandwagon, even if not generally a staunch baseball fan.

Certainly the team has been exasperating for fans this season.

After last year, when the Jays flirted with a World Series berth anything less than an ALCS spot this season would have been a failure in the minds of most given that the team is largely the same as it was in 2015.

But this year’s edition of the Jays has at times clanked along like a jalopy with a dirty carburetor and a flat tire.

In June, I was among those thinking that they needed to blow out the veterans and plan for a rebuild around good young arms on the mound. To this man the vets seemed to be going through the motions and little more.

Then the team went on a run, and they looked poised to win the always tough American League East.

But a brutal September took that expectation away. The Jays faltered to the point a wild card spot was in doubt until two end of the season wins secured Toronto home field in the one game playoff with Baltimore.

Those two key wins seemed to right the ship in TO though.

The Jays won the wild card with a dra-

It will be one of the remembered moments in the collective memory of the Jays’ fans.

Then the roller coaster ride which has been the Toronto Blue Jays this season hit a definite high point Sunday as they swept Texas out of the playoffs to advance to the American League Championship.

Against Texas the Jay bats were on fire, although in game three it required a wild pitch for the Jays to tie the game, and then a brutal throwing error by Rougned Odor, infamous for punching Jose Bautista in an altercation earlier this year, to score Josh Donaldson for the sweep.

Through the last two regular season games, and four playoff matchups, everything has been working on the Jays.

The bats are hitting home runs, which has been their long term approach to winning, the starting pitching giving them innings and generally the lead, and the bullpen while often maligned this season, is holding the line.

If the pieces hold a serious run at an ALCS title in the upcoming final should not be too much to expect, and would keep fans on the high side of the roller coaster ride.

The Jays starting pitching; JA Happ, Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada and Marcus Stroman, measure up well with any team, and while the bullpen has bent and broken a few too many times over the season, but so far have held steady.

closer has done yeoman service in the last six games, tossing more innings than any last inning guy should be expected to, but he did it.

Since the season has been up and down, the team could falter and no one would be shocked, but there is a sense this team is poised for a World Series visit, and all of Canada should be happy with that.

And that brings me to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

For the first time this season I am being impressed by what the franchise is doing under Chris Jones.

The team has won three in a row, and that placates fans a bit, but the wins are not impressing me nearly as much as the moves off the field.

The team signed Willie Jefferson, a 6-foot6, 245-pound defensive end, who played for Jones in 2014 and 2015 with the Edmonton Eskimos.

Jefferson signed with the NFL’s Washington Redskins in January and played three pre-season games with them before being released. He is already showing he will add some speed to the D-line rush, and in the passoriented CFL that is crucial.

Then Henoc Muamba came into the fold.

Muamba was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 CFL draft, by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He spent three seasons with Winnipeg and, in 2013, was named an East Division and CFL allstar.

On offence receiver Jeff Fuller, 47 catches, 619 receiving yards, three touchdowns in 2015 with Calgary, is also now a Roughrider, after a try-out with Seattle down south.

Fuller gives Saskatchewan a very interesting receiving

corps moving forward.

Naaman Roosevelt, currently on the sixgame injured list, is a star, Caleb Holley has shown he is quite capable, and now Fuller will give Darian Durant a talented trip to throw to in 2017.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 13, 2016 - Page 7A

JAYS Continued from Page A6 And now the Riders have traded international offensive tackle Xavier Fulton and national defensive end Justin Capicciotti to the Hamilton Tigers.

In return, the Riders received national defensive lineman Linden Gaydosh and international receiver Tommy Streeter and fourth- and seventh-round selections in the 2017 CFL draft.

Streeter hasn’t played

Yorkton Bowl Arena Stats a CFL game, but bounced around the NFL, so may be useful.

Gaydosh is another piece to what should eventually be a very sturdy defence, as is the reputation Jones has.

I had hoped for an 8-10 team this year, but fans are always overly optimistic. That said in 2017, I’d expect 11or12 wins from the Riders, or I will be disappointed far more than I am this season.

Get yard and garden for ready for spring There’s still time (but not a lot) to take care of a few last chores to get your yard and garden ready and save yourself some time next spring.

1. Rake leaves/fallen fruit: Do not give mold, mildew and other diseases a chance to take hold in your lawn. Rake up leaves, fallen crabapples and anything else that will trap moisture or rot. These will make an excellent addition to your compost bin.

2. Mow lawn: Mow your lawn one last time, but leave it longer than you would normally to help it survive the winter in better condition.

Use your mower to suck up leaves if you don’t want to use a rake.

3. Mulch garden: Mulch performs a number of functions including protecting the root zone from our ultra-low prairie winter temperatures. Those leaves you picked up with your lawn mower makes for excellent mulch.

4. Cut back perennials: If you do this now, there’s less chance to damage early succulent spring growth. In my

garden, it ‘s the ornamental grasses that start growing sometimes before the snow is completely gone. But it’s a balancing act: for some, the dead aboveground plant material acts as a protective layer against low temperature as well as trapping an insulating snow layer.

5. Water trees and shrubs: This is especially important for your evergreens likes spruce and cedars. Even though they don’t grow in winter, they still respire and require water throughout the fall, winter and spring. Deciduous trees and shrubs also benefit from a deep drink, providing a spring reservoir to draw from when they start to grow again.

6. Rototill: Get your vegetable garden and new planting beds ready now. This is an excellent time to add compost, manure, ground up leaves, etc. to enrich the soil.

7. Plant bulbs: It’s getting pretty late to be planting bulbs, but there are likely some good deals by now. Take a

chance and you’ll be rewarded with early spring colour.

8. Turn off outside water/blow out sprinklers/drain hoses: Water expands as it freezes.

And while this characteristic means that ice floats and gives us ponds to skate on in winter, it also means that water filled pipes and hoses burst when that water freezes.

9. Winterize lawn equipment: To winterize gas-powered equipment, you can either (A) drain the gas (if it’s regular gas, add it to your car’s fuel tank or snow blower), or (B), fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer according to label instructions. In fact always use fuel stabilizer when you fill the jerry can to prevent the fuel from going stale even during the summer. This is also a good time to give any gas-powered equipment an oil change, replace air filters, get blades sharpened, refill the string in your lawn edger, etc.

10. Clean & sharpen tools: Clean your

hand tools and sharpen shovels, hoes, pruners, etc. before putting them away for the year. Give them a light wipe with mineral oil to prevent rust.

11. Clean gutters: Gutters are a great water distribution system. But they also are excellent leaf collectors which reduces their ability to handle water. Now that most of the leaves have fallen and before

the bitter cold hits, get out and remove the trapped leaves. You’ll thank yourself the next time it rains.

12. Get out your snow shovel: Don’t kid yourself. Climate change will never give us a tropical prairie winter. You’ll have to get on a plane and go elsewhere in February to have one of those.

Effective and efficient delivery of health care services Saskatchewan pharmacists believe they can be a factor in the Government’s quest for a more effective and efficient delivery of health care services in this province.

The Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan has delivered a submission to the Government of Saskatchewan’s Health Authority Review Panel, on behalf of the over 1400 pharmacists and 360 pharmacies in Saskatchewan.

Board Chair Julia

Bareham says that patients can already obtain a broader range of health services, such as flu vaccinations and prescriptions for a variety of minor conditions from their local pharmacist. “Pharmacists play a key role in patient health care and they are eager to make an even greater contribution to the transformation of the health care system,” said Bareham .

Recommendations in the Association’s submission focus on: •chronic disease

management; •protection and continued leadership of pharmacists as an integral part of a hospital patient’s health care plan in the hospital setting; and •a sustainable funding structure that will support a significant increase in services.

Chronic conditions that could benefit from pharmacist intervention include, but are not limited to diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary

Disease (COPD), depression, congestive heart failure, asthma, and hypertension. Testing for diabetes and hypertension are two examples where patients and pharmacists can be proactive in managing the patients’ conditions, and have a positive impact on physician workload.

Including pharmacists as part of a hospital patient’s health care team can result in mitigating a condition, shortening a hospital stay and minimizing

hospitalization.

Pharmacists could provide more health care services such as a wider range of vaccinations, ordering lab tests and helping to manage chronic diseases. Such changes will require pharmacy and pharmacist compensation models that are commensurate with expanded roles.

Over 360 pharmacies are located in 80 Saskatchewan communities, creating a network of health care professionals.

Bareham

says that “we have already seen an increase in people seeking flu vaccinations from their pharmacists, which will minimize contracting the illness and minimize a greater use of the health care system.

Assuming appropriate enablers are in place, such as training supports and funding, there’s no reason that pharmacists can’t do more.”

Prevention.

HOPE.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosis in Canadian women over age 20, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. Healthy

lifestyle choices like a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity and avoidance of cigarettes and excessive alcohol are all important prevention steps. Early detection is also key in the fight against breast cancer, so be sure to perform a breast self-exam each month, and ask your doctor when to schedule mammograms and other screenings.

Home improvement projects for your fall to-do list Homeowners know that maintaining a home can be a year-round job.

No home is immune to wear and tear, and homeowners who want to protect their real estate investments should try to stay two steps ahead to ensure their homes do not succumb to the elements or become outdated and unappealing to prospective buyers.

Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning their next projects. The following are a few items homeowners can add to their fall home improvement to-do lists.

Roof inspection Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and

DebSchmidt_3x109.k13_R0011167729.indd YNR oct 13/16 •prod2/kj proof

winter. As a result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone. But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage. Leaky roofs can be easily identified by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. Once you see a stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fix it before winter rains and snowfall turn the problem into something much larger.

Inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any leaks immediately.

Gutter cleaning While some homeowners prefer to delay their

gutter cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home.

In addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below.

Standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. If the gutters are clear when you first examine them in early fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them a complete and thorough cleaning.

Once you have finished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to confirm everything is functioning properly.

Window and doorway inspection Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter. Cold air can enter a home through cracks around windows and doorways, and many homeowners who don’t suspect leaks may respond by turning

up the thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expensive over a full winter. Choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. If you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible.

Patio cleanup Patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. Once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed.

Preparing for fall home improvement proj-

ects ahead of time can help homeowners complete projects in a timely manner and ensures they won’t be forced to brave the winter elements when refurbishing their homes.

Autumn is a great time to inspect patios that might have endured some wear and tear during the heavy usage seasons of spring and summer.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 13, 2016 - Page 11A

Government of Saskatchewan celebrates women’s history month “The 100th Anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote in Canada and Saskatchewan” is the theme of Women’s History Month in Saskatchewan this year.

Women’s History Month is recognized every October across Canada in association with the anniversary of the “Persons Case” of 1929, in which Canadian women were formally

recognized as “persons” under the law.

This year marks the journey of a woman’s right to political participation in Saskatchewan, bringing equality to the provincial democratic process. On March 14, 1916, Saskatchewan women won the right to vote and hold provincial office.

“The right to vote is one of the most funda-

mental privileges of citizenship,” Minister responsible for the Status of Women Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “It empowers citizens to influence government decision-making and to safeguard their human rights. Our government is pleased to support Women’s History Month and honour the work of remarkable women t h r o u g h o u t

Saskatchewan’s history who pressed for change, despite social barriers, discrimination and resistance, to make Saskatchewan a better place for all.”

In 2016, Saskatchewan women make up 51 per cent of the population and bring their own unique perspectives to influence dialogues on social, economic, political and pub-

lic policy issues. To celebrate the journey of women’s right to political participation in Canada and Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Status of Women Office website (www.saskatchewan.ca/ swo) will profile distinguished women who served in public office and made a mark in Saskatchewan history each week in October.

Some women of distinction include: • Sarah Ramsland, Saskatchewan’s first female Member of the Legislative Assembly; • Ida M. Petterson, first Saskatchewan woman to serve as mayor of a Saskatchewan city; and • Sylvia Fedoruk, first woman to serve as Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan.

October 11 is International Day of the Girl October 11 has been declared by the United Nations as International Day of the Girl. This day is celebrated worldwide to promote girls’ empowerment, recognize girls’ rights, and the contribution made by young women in different professional fields.

In Saskatchewan, the theme of this special day is “Making a Difference: Encouraging Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).”

“International Day of the Girl is an opportunity to raise awareness of the significance of mentoring females in sci-

ence, technology, engineering and mathematics professions and exploring career possibilities with Saskatchewan girls and young women,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists is a key driver of this work in Saskatchewan. Our government applauds their efforts to break down barriers and encourage women and girls to reach their potential as they explore the opportunities that

exist within these fields.”

“The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists is pleased to work with the Status of Women Office in supporting efforts to encourage girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM,” Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists (APEGS) President Tara Zrymiak said. “APEGS feels that gender diversity is a critical component of our service to society, and therefore undertakes a number of activities to proactively promote STEM to girls

and provide them the opportunity to interact with women in our professions. We see role models and mentors as a major contributing factor to encouraging girls to consider careers in STEM areas. ” To help promote gender diversity in the STEM fields, Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is a community of innovative students, professionals and fellows working to create systemic change in Canada.

The EWB University of Regina chapter is active in outreach in the schools and community.

Author charms business crowd

BY THOM BARKER Staff Writer Last week, a full house of Yorktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business leaders at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ukrainian Catholic Cultural Centre were inspired by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Business Dinner.

The keynote for the October 5 event, business journalist Howard Green, kept the crowd engaged throughout his speech, said Juanita Polegi, executive director of the Chamber.

Of course, you do not get to be the face of a national business broadcasting enterprise without having some degree of charisma.

Green started out with CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Venture before co-founding the Business News Network (BNN) in 1999 and anchoring its flagship show, Headline with Howard Green, for six years.

Now an award-winning documentary filmmaker and author, Green penned the bestselling 2013 book Banking on America: How TD Bank Rose to the Top and Took on the USA. A new book, coauthored by Charles Bronfman called Distilled: A Memoir of Family, Seagram, Baseball, and Philanthropy is due this month.

Green hoped the Yorkton audience took away two messages from his talk, to beware predictions, but respect

Another highlight of his visit was a tour of the city the following day with Kelly Price, member of the Chamber board and manager of the Yorkton branch of Great Western Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really interesting to see the workings of an agricultural community,â&#x20AC;? Green said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We drove around and we saw where the canola plants are and how the rail lines come up to the crushing plants and so forth. When you live in a city like I do, you take all of that for granted.

You get your bottle of canola oil and you just use it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to actually see where it comes from and where stuff happens.â&#x20AC;?

Both Green and Polegi were particularly pleased with the response of two tables of students, one from Yorkton Regional and one from Sacred Heart, sponsored for the event

by CN. The students were rapt and even asked questions, Green noted.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students seemed to really enjoy the presentation, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really grateful to CN for providing that opportunity,â&#x20AC;?

Polegi said.

cycles.

The people who make economic predictions, he explained, are inherently prone to being wrong so caution is required when making business decisions based on shortterm prognostication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bad people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bad at what they do, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just extremely hard to predict economic events,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, who predicted Brexit?

Who predicted the 2008 crash?â&#x20AC;?

On the other hand, cycles can present challenges, but also opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While predictions are hard to make and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high probability of being wrong, cycles exist and they exist for very powerful reasons.â&#x20AC;?

He cited examples such as the 34-year downward trend in interest rates and the boom and bust nature of the energy business.

Green very much enjoyed the Chamber event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very warm evening, I felt very welcomed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was really kind, and nice and welcoming and the food was fantastic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had better cabbage rolls.â&#x20AC;?
