St. Michael’s celebrates French Week in Yorkton always been a part of that culture.” The big showcase everyone can see is the snow sculpture in front of the school, welcoming people with a big Bonjour.
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s French Week in Yorkton, and St. Michael’s School is showcasing the value of the French language all week through different programs and activities. The goal of the week is to show off the French language to people who might not otherwise be interested, says Charlotte Lovequist, teacher at St. Michaels heading up the week. The school itself has both a French Immersion track and an English track for students, but for French week everyone sees a bit of French in their lives, and all of the activities are built around the French language. “We’re doing a switch, we’re immersing the English students in French.” The cap of the week is an outdoor festival on Friday, and Lovequist says people of the community are invited to join them. French is associated with cold weather, and Lovequist says that it’s inspired by festivals in Quebec that celebrate the winter season. “It just seems like winter is a good time to celebrate being sturdy and tough Canadians surviving winter. French has
Lovequist says that it was a cold and difficult day putting it together, with the variable weather making for a hard day of carving. The parents, teachers and
students who put it together deserve recognition for their efforts. Parents in charge of designing and sculpting were Stan Reed and Chad McDowell. Teachers
assisting were Lovequist, Breanne Kelly, Darrell Richardson, Christine Richardson, Narom Sing, Liz Chapman, Warren Burrel and Canadian Parents for

Saskatchewan’s religious history on display By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The church was a cornerstone of the community when Saskatchewan was founded, and a new book and exhibition at the Godfrey Dean explores religious sites throughout the province, from spiritual
sites of the First Nations of the province to different religious denominations that established themselves in the province. Legacy of Worship was a five year project which brought together photos and research to showcase the province’s religious past. Photographer Larry

and Margaret Hryniuk wrote the book, and say that from their perspective, the history of the church the most important part of the book, and they wanted to make something that was entertaining to read as well as informative, rather than a dry summary of what happened.
“Not only does the church have to be photogenic, but it also has to have a story. You could have a really good image of a church, but if Hryniuk can’t find a good story to go with it, then it doesn’t go into the book,” Korvemaker explains.

Saskatchewan’s religious history on display Continued from Page 1A Just finding information was often a challenge, as many of the smaller churches had poor records or difficult to find connections, Hryniuk explains. One of her major sources was newspaper archives, which told the story of the day. “Those old newspaper accounts hold back nothing, they don’t care if it’s politically correct or not at that time it didn’t matter. You get colourful quotes and characters.” She says that it’s the history of the province as told by the people who built it, as the church was one of the main centres in most of these small towns. The state of the church today is part of the same story, as the state of the surrounding community is often reflected within the church itself. One of the stories of
these communities is reflected in Ebenezer, which had a baptist community that grew rapidly enough to require two churches of the same denomination in town, something Korvemaker explains is the only time that this happened in the province. “These are the sorts of things we look for in our book, something unusual that isn’t known before, perhaps bringing in historic photographs that have never been published.” While it’s the history of the province, for many people it’s a much more personal history, something which they are learning about as people read the book and look at the photos. Hryniuk says she has had people tell her about their own history as they have read about the church they’re from.
The book is as much a spotters guide to Saskatchewan churches as it is a historic document. Korvemaker says that they show different things that different denominations and synagogues use which are common among their buildings, as well as an illustrated glossary for architecture, so when someone sees a church they can identify things about it. Korvemaker admits that they thought it would be an easier project than their first collaboration, Legacy of Stone, which chronicled stone buildings in the province, but took five years of research, writing and photographs to put it together. He says that they need to give appreciation to their families who put up with the stress of putting the book together. “A book is not just the
authors, it’s the people we communicate with on a regular basis.” Korvemaker says he
would do something on brick in the province, though he says the priority right now is to take a
break after the long process of putting Legacy of Worship together.

Distracted driving causing more collisions
Sgt. Cliff Froehlich has witnessed the results of distracted driving far too many times throughout his 28-year career with the Moose Jaw Police Service. “It’s so easy for a driver to be distracted by one thing or another – a cell-
phone, conversation, food, reading a map or GPS – you need to stay 100 per cent focused, 100 per cent of the time,” said Froehlich. “Distraction can result in something as little as a fender bender, or as major as a fatality. All because a driver’s
attention was somewhere else.” Distracted driving continues to be one of the top contributing factors to collisions in Saskatchewan. In 2013, there were 5,745 collisions related to distracted driving. Thirtytwo people died because of
drivers not paying attention, and nearly 2,000 more were injured. This month, police across the province will be on the lookout for drivers using their cellphones to talk or text while driving, and those driving without due care and attention. Drivers are reminded that although it isn’t illegal to eat, change a radio station, put on lipgloss, etc. while driving, you can be charged if something is distracting you from driv-
ing safely. Tougher driver distraction laws came into effect over the last few years: • Experienced drivers are allowed to use handsfree devices while driving, but new drivers (those in the Graduated Driver’s Licensing program) cannot. SGI recommends that, even when using hands-free devices, you safely pull over to the side of the road. • The fine for cellphone use or driving without
due care and attention is $280 and results in four demerit points under SGI’s Safe Driver Recognition program. Depending where you sit on the safety rating scale, you may also have to pay a financial penalty or lose your insurance discount. Visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca to learn more about the new traffic laws, or for information about the Road Safety Challenge and how #wecandrivebetter.

Names needed for new RCMP puppies
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) needs help in naming a handful of their newest (and cutest) recruits! The Police Dog Service Training Centre (PDSTC) in Innisfail, Alberta is asking young Canadians to suggest names for 10 German Shepherd puppies recently born at the Centre. Children are encouraged to be original and imaginative in finding names that will
serve these puppies well in their careers with Canada’s national police force. When thinking of names, it is important to keep in mind that these are working police dogs, not pets. The 10 children whose names are selected will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the pup they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP cap. Contest rules are simple:
• Contestants can suggest only one name (one entry per person). • The name may be for a male or a female pup. • The name must start with the letter “H”. • The name must have no more than nine (9) letters. • The name must be one or two syllables. • Contestants must live in Canada and be 16 years old or younger.
Two ways to enter: • Enter online: www.rcmp-grc.ca/ depot/pdstc-cdcp/namethe-puppy-nomme-lechiot-eng.htm • Send a letter to the following address. Be sure to print the child’s name, age, address, telephone number and the suggested name for a puppy. Attn: “Name the Puppy Contest” Police Dog Service Training Centre
Box 6120, Innisfail, AB T4G 1S8 We love to receive drawings and paintings! If submitting by mail or email, children are invited to get creative with their entries. Although there can be only 10 winners, names not selected for the contest will be considered for other puppies born during the year. The deadline for entries is March 3, 2015. Contest winners and
prizes will be announced on April 8, 2015. Winning names will be chosen by the PDSTC staff. A draw will determine the winning entry in the event of multiple submissions of the same puppy name. The PDSTC is home to the RCMP national police dog training program and is a part of RCMP “Depot” Division. Hashtags: #namethepuppy #nommelechiot
Youth residence at Orcadia set to close The Orcadia Youth Residence just northwest of Yorkton will be converted to an adult corrections facility starting March 31. The closing of Orcadia and another facility, Yarrow Youth Farm, in Saskatoon is due to declining numbers of youths serving custodial sentences while adult facilities are becoming overcrowded, explained Dennis Cooley, assistant deputy minister of custody supervision and rehabilitation services for the Province. Transferring youths from Orcadia will free up 39 beds for adult prisoners. The current population of Orcadia will be transferred to other youth facilities in Saskatoon, Battleford or Prince Albert depending on proximity to each individual’s home area. There should be no problem accommodating the young offenders as Cooley attributes the decline in youth custo-
dy all across the country to the introduction of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) in 2003, which focused on rehabilitation and gave the courts a much broader range of alternatives to incarceration when dealing with offenders less than 18 years old. “The YCJA is doing what it’s intended to do as laid out in the Act,” Cooley said. He also cited success of early intervention programs such as the collaborative HUB approach that seeks to prevent youth in highrisk situations from becoming involved in the justice system in the first place. He is not sure why there has not been a corresponding reduction in adult incarceration. “It’s a puzzle and we’re still trying to figure it out,” he said, adding it could be related to Criminal Code amendments such as mandatory minimum sentences and greater
restrictions on conditional sentencing. After the last of the young offenders have been moved from Orcadia at the end of March, the ministry will be retraining the staff with respect to the different legislation and procedures they will be required to work with when dealing with adults. Cooley recognizes not all staff will be comfortable with switching to adults and said those individuals will be accommodated as much as possible. “Our commitment is to work with all the staff to find suitable employment within the collective bargaining agreement,” he said. The first adult prisoners could start arriving at Orcadia as early as late June or early July. Cooley said these will all be very low-risk inmates who will have to apply and be screened for suitability. The focus of the facility will be on job-based
Calf price insurance program now open The window is now open for Saskatchewan cow-calf producers to access market price protection for their spring born calves. The Western Livestock Price Insurance Program offers calf price insurance from February 3, 2015, to May 28, 2015. The calf price insurance is for calves born in the spring and marketed in the fall. The program allows the producer to lock in market price protection and avoid unexpected declines. This is an opportunity to protect against volatility and price variability while still leaving the potential to benefit from even stronger calf prices in the future. Producers purchase price insurance policies through an online process. To access the website producers need to contact their local Crop Insurance office and complete an application. Once approved producers will be able to review coverage, premiums and purchase price insurance policies from their computer. When purchasing a policy a producer will
determine the estimated sale weight of their livestock and match a policy length to the time they expect to sell. Based on that information the producer will then select their coverage and pay their premium, which provides a protected market floor price. If the cash market is below the selected coverage during the last four weeks of the policy, a claim can be made. Producers are also not required to sell the livestock at the time the policy expires. While there is a specific window of opportunity to purchase calf price insurance, the feeder, fed and hog price
insurance can be purchased year-round. Producers can get more information by visiting their local Crop Insurance office or online at www.wlpip.ca.

Wetlands need your attention World Wetlands Day, celebrated every February 2, encourages citizens around the world to turn their thoughts to wetlands and their importance in our lives. Wetlands provide a reliable food supply and help purify freshwater for billions of global citizens. Like giant sponges, they absorb and replenish water to buffer flood and drought risks. Wetlands are also vital nesting, breeding and staging grounds for waterfowl and many other species and continue to be among the most diverse ecosystems of all. And that’s barely skimming the surface of wetlands’ wonders. In spite of their important roles, our worlds’ wetlands are facing serious woes. Troubling statistics estimates that 64 percent of world’s wetlands have disappeared since the 1900s (Ramsar Fact Sheet, 2015). Canada, home to a quarter of the world’s wetlands, is not immune to these trends. Southern Ontario for example has lost an estimated three-quarters of its wetlands through agricultural conversion. Luckily in Saskatchewan – Quill Lakes, located 250 kilometres north of Regina, is ideal for shorebird and waterfowl watching. An Important Bird Area and Heritage Marsh, the property is home to endangered species like piping plover. Dan Kraus, conservation scientist with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, says wetlands are under various kinds of humaninduced environmental stresses. For example, “road construction through a wetland can drastically alter their natural flow cycle, which is why there is a lot of interest in finding ways to mitigate and offset the negative impacts of infrastructure development on wetlands.” Conservation organizations like the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) have long been working to protect and restore these precious ecosystems for the benefit of wildlife and human alike. For more information about Nature Conservancy of Canada’s conservation work across the country and how you can help, visitwww.natureconservancy.ca.
The same old plan needs changing After putting all his eggs in one basket—counting on oil prices remaining high—Prime Minister Stephen Harper is now lurching about, searching for a plan B and making it up as he goes along. Canada is facing a very different reality. The Conference Board of Canada says Alberta may fall into recession. Oil patch jobs, investment plans and export values are all slumping. The Bank of Canada is warning of a serious slowdown. Government revenues are set to drop. The Conservative government has no idea what to do and is stalling for time, hoping that these problems will solve themselves. One day it said oil prices have no effect on the budget, the next day it delayed the budget until April because of oil prices. That does not create confidence and reassure consumers and investors. Last November Mr. Harper threw prudence out the window and announced a costly income splitting benefit for the wealthy long before the budget was balanced. Former Finance Minister Jim Flaherty warned that this plan was expensive and unfair, and he was right. Income splitting will hurt growth and will not benefit 85% of Canadian households. With no fiscal room to maneuver, the Conservatives are now preparing to ask middle class families to make yet more sacrifices so that billions in tax breaks for wealthiest can be pro-
tected. It’s irresponsible and unfair for Mr. Harper to ask the middle class to pay to give families like his a $2000 tax break. Mr. Harper has added $160 billion in debt, or $20,000 for every Canadian family of four. Under his watch, economic growth has averaged a meagre 1.7%, the worst of any Prime Minister since R.B. Bennett in the dirty thirties. The decline in the global price of oil has revealed the unbalanced nature of Conservative economic policies, which have focused almost exclusively on the oil sector. And even those plans have failed, with not a single kilometer of new pipeline being built to get it to world markets during Mr. Harper’s nine years in power. Canada needs leadership with a plan to grow the economy, in every sector and in every region. That’s why Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has called for a vigorous plan for investments in community infrastructure and housing; post-secondary learning and skills; research and innovation; smart, clean sustainable energy and resource development; a diversified, more value-added economy; and aggressive global branding and marketing to rebuild a consistent trade surplus. That’s the kind of leadership Canada needs. Marc Garneau, MP Liberal Party of Canada
Measles is back to remind you to vaccinate kids There’s an old line about how if someone is a big enough skeptic, they become gullible again. The idea is that they are so eager to reject the conventional and popular opinion that they will believe anything that happens to contradict it, no matter how obviously wrong it happens to be. While there are many examples of this, it’s likely that the most prominent one at the moment is the anti-vaccine movement. Vaccines are proven to be effective at preventing disease, they are the reason why things like smallpox are gone completely, and things like polio have largely disappeared from countries with a good vaccination coverage. They work for the same reason one only gets many diseases once, the body knows how to get rid of a disease once it recognizes it. Which isn’t to say they are perfect, the constant mutations of the flu virus mean that vaccinations against that are annual, but they have stopped deadly diseases from infecting people, especially children. As always happens when you have conventional wisdom, someone inevitably wants to challenge it. Now, we have the anti-vaccination movement, which charges that they are somehow bad for children, using a debunked study from the ‘80s to suggest that they are linked to autism. There are a few problems with that. One, it suggests autism is worse than
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger death, a statement I suspect all autistic people will strongly disagree with. Two, it ignores the fact that after a generation of near-universal vaccination, whatever links there might be are tenuous at best. Three, it is ignoring the health complications that many of these preventable diseases actually do cause. Take measles, for example, an outbreak of which can be directly blamed on the reduced vaccination levels among children. Complications from that disease can include brain damage or death, yet it is a disease that can be prevented entirely if there is actual vaccination occurring. Vaccines work, this much is clear. As well, vaccines prevent diseases that cause some severe compli-
cations in people who become infected, that is also clear. So why is it that some people want to believe that they are a danger? In western countries, vaccines are so prevalent and vaccination programs so well run that we have effectively eliminated the dangers they prevented. So now that the diseases are gone, young parents don’t know what it was like to have those diseases, have friends with those diseases, or how they could ruin the lives of a young person. Combine that with a skepticism about what they are being told, they become convinced that something which saves lives is a risk again. At the moment measles is lingering in the background, ready to start infecting people again when it has the chance and a number of susceptible bodies out there. With vaccination rates down, it’s the ideal time for the disease to start making an appearance yet again. Unfortunately, it might be needed, the disease that comes to remind anti-vaccination people that there is a reason for vaccinations, and their scientifically invalid worries about them are putting their families at risk. Instead of invented risks of vaccination we have a very real risk that comes from avoiding it, and perhaps the return of measles will remind people that there is a very real reason why vaccines are so common.

Tracking grain shipping a good start
Keep liquor sales public is best plan
To the Editor: After a disastrous grain handling and transportation season in 2013-14 which cost prairie producers some $5-billion in losses, it’s been quieter this winter. But things may be about to heat up. Last fall’s “new crop” did not produce another all-time record volume, but with the previous year’s carryover the total amount to be moved this season is still close to the same tonnage that triggered such chaos a year ago. And due to highly variable growing conditions, the quality this year is also highly variable and therefore logistically more complicated to ship. Thank goodness we haven’t had a harsh winter. When asked how they’re doing, the railways say things are pretty much “back to normal”, or at least better than last year. Overall the volume shipped is up. And recent comments from Transport Minister Lisa Raitt suggest the Harper government is content with what they see. But farmers are not. Looking at the bulk tonnages moved over a week ... or a month ... or a crop-year fails to tell the whole story. A recent report published by a collection of farm organizations, called the “AG Transport Coalition” (ATC), has examined
railway performance from the on-the-ground perspective of the shipper. It’s not sufficient just to “move grain”. The detail matters. It must be moved in a timely manner, in response to shipping orders, to get the right product at the right export position just in time to fill the right vessel for the right customer at the right price. Grain moves along shipping “corridors” headed west, east, south and north. Some is destined for overseas, some into the US, some for domestic buyers. Some originates along main railway lines and some from community-owned shortline operators. Some is delivered through grain companies (mostly multinational corporations), some through farmer-owned inland terminals, some is delivered directly into “producer” railcars by farmers themselves. Depending on geography, different producers use different corridors. They all want to take maximize advantage of market opportunities. But they’re not all treated equitably. The railways provide the best service on big bulk shipments that are easy to handle -- e.g., hundred car trains moving west from Alberta to Vancouver. But farmers using other “corridors” -like Saskatchewan producers who want to ship
south or those along a shortline -- find their rail services decidedly substandard. One size does not fit all. The basic railway approach to grain was amply demonstrated in remarks to his shareholders last year by the CEO of CP Rail. He acknowledged the transportation trouble affecting grain, but suggested his shareholders needn’t worry. Grain is a captive commodity. Farmers have no competitive, commercial, regulatory or legal alternatives. The grain will always be there for the railways to move eventually. And they will always get paid in full. So time is not of the essence. But that’s not how farmers see it. The timeliness of service makes a big difference to them. And this week’s ATC report shows big discrepancies. So far in this crop year, the railways have supplied in the week they were ordered only 50% of the hopper cars their customers called for. In total, they are 11,461 cars behind. The corridor into the US is especially weak, possibly costing sales. The ATC plans to track and report on performance from the shippers’ perspective every week. Such objective, credible, accurate information, collected and published frequently by an independent authority, is essential in holding
railways, grain companies and others in the logistics chain to account. It should also compel the Government of Canada to address obvious defects in public policy. The deficient grain handling and transportation system that exists today is this government’s creation. They designed it like this. Inadequate capacity. No surge capabilities. No provisions to deal with exigencies like bad weather. There’s no clear definition of what constitutes proper service and how it’s measured. No mechanism to achieve commonsense coordination in a complex logistics chain -- there’s no quarterback calling plays. No requirement for equitable treatment among corridors. The shippers are captives with no competitive commercial alternatives and no legal recourse when the system fails. The recent fines imposed on the railways (and paid to the government, not farmers) are largely meaningless tokens. What farmers need is an expeditious way to get liquidated damages to offset their losses when others screw-up. Congratulations to the ATC for a worthy initiative.

Consumers deserve proper labelling To the Editor: With January coming to an end, those of us who vowed to eat better in 2015 have probably already given up. That’s not surprising, considering that most people grossly underestimate both the amount of calories they consume, and their fat, salt and sugar consumption, even after consulting nutrition labels. According to Statistics Canada, half of women and about seven in 10 men in Canada consume more calories than needed and as many as 25 per cent have fat intakes above the recommended value. Studies show that most Canadians don’t comprehend the per cent daily value or the variety of units (g, ml, percentages) common on food nutrition labels. One Canadian study showed that less than half of participants could identify the number of calories in a soft-drink bottle even after consulting the nutritional labels. Half of participants who saw a “110 calories per serving” label believed this was the number of calories for the entire bottle, when, in fact, the bottle in question contained several servings (264 calories). Pre-packaged foods in Canada are required to display a nutrition facts table. But regulation does not apply to foods served in restaurants, and serving sizes are not standardized and front-ofpackaging logos and health claims are mostly unregulated. Modifying regulations to simplify nutritional information on
food products and imposing standardized and nutrition labelling at restaurants could increase consumer understanding, positively affect food choices and reduce caloric consumption. However, we need governments to ensure that these claims are evidencebased and easily understood. In a step in the right direction, the federal government recently asked Canadians what they would like to see on food product labels. It turns out, quite a lot. Canadians want easier-to-read labels, more legible fonts, simpler terms and the use of colours and symbols. The government is considering making adjustments, such as regrouping all sugars, changing font sizes and standardizing portion sizes. These are welcome changes, but more comprehensive solutions are needed. Unfortunately, in Canada, front-of-package symbols and health claims are mostly designed by the food industry, are often confusing and some are not based on proper scientific evidence. Seven years ago, the Canadian Standing Committee on Health asked the federal government for a mandatory, standardized, simple, front of package labelling. They are still waiting. Instead, in 2012 the government chose to stop policing nutrition claims on food labels for budgetary reasons. Regulations for restaurant nutrition information also need policy reform. Consider this: Canadians consistently underestimate the calories in restaurant
meals, sometimes by up to 900 calories, says one study. Even registered dieticians underestimated the calories in a restaurant meal by 200 to 600 calories. With nearly 40 per cent of Canadians eating out a few times per week, regulating menu labels should be a priority. The food industry is in business to make money. Many are constantly creating and marketing products that encourage overconsumption of sugar, fat and salt that are contributing significantly to the obesity epidemic. Mandatory labelling will possibly be helpful to motivated, educated consumers who want to make healthier choices, but there is also a need for stronger environmental ‘nudges’ such as increased pricing on sugar sweetened beverages and reduced portion sizes to more fully address the obesity epidemic. But we can at least begin with proper food nutrition labels so Canadians can make informed decisions about their food choices.

To the Editor: Saskatchewan’s public liquor stores generate millions in profits for the province’s families, and could easily afford to expand and modernize to provide an enhanced experience for consumers. So where is the business case for handing liquor sales and profits over to private corporations? That’s the question SGEU is asking government in its stakeholder submission to the provincial consultation on liquor retailing. SGEU’s submission builds a strong case for maintaining a public liquor system. It points out that it is more economically advantageous to build new liquor stores than to hand the business over to private corporations. “Don’t be misled by government when it implies that it is a choice between spending money on schools and hospitals or on building new liquor stores,” , says Donna Christianson, chair of SGEU’s Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) bargaining unit. “Public liquor stores are so profitable they can easily reinvest a portion of their own earnings to increase access and improve customer experiences. Why not open more SLGA retail outlets, carry a broader and more varied selection of products, including craft beers and local wines and spirits? The Minister responsible for the SLGA can direct that the public liquor system offer what Saskatchewan people want,” says Christianson. “The added bonus is that new SLGA stores are a great investment, generating substantial profits for Saskatchewan families each year. Any new liquor store will pay for itself, and then some,” she adds. The SGEU submission provides overwhelming evidence to show that keeping liquor sales public is more financially sound than privatizing liquor sales. Some highlights include: Alberta has lost hundreds of millions in revenue since privatizing liquor sales. • Saskatchewan people would have lost more than $229 million over the past five years if the SLGA earned the same return on investment as the Alberta system. Evidence supports enhancing Saskatchewan’s public liquor system: Since privatization in Alberta, real per capita liquor revenues fell by 31 per cent, a loss of hundreds of millions to the Alberta government. In comparison, Saskatchewan’s public stores earned a seven per cent real per capita increase in revenues for families over the same time. SLGA stores operate more efficiently than private stores. •SLGA stores spent only 14 per cent of sales on operating costs in 2013-14. In contrast, the two largest private liquor retailers in Canada both spent 19 per cent of liquor sales revenue on operating costs. A public system keeps wholesale costs down. • A single, integrated public liquor network has greater purchasing power than a fragmented, privatized system. Keeping wholesale costs down results in a much more efficient and more profitable system. Wholesale costs are by far the most significant expense for a liquor system. Eighty per cent of SLGA’s liquor operation is the cost of buying wholesale. • Without the purchasing power of SLGA’s current integrated system, costs will rise. These higher input costs will ultimately result in higher consumer prices and/or reduced government markups. “SLGA balances earning substantial profits for Saskatchewan people with providing good customer service and promoting responsible drinking. That is a solid track record. Why risk losing all that, especially when falling oil prices mean less provincial revenue to pay for public infrastructure and services?” asks Christianson. “Government’s number one priority should be looking out for Saskatchewan families, and that means finding the best way to maximize profits that are returned to our communities to help pay for vital public services,” she says. The evidence is clear: Keeping liquor sales public, and further expanding and enhancing SLGA stores, is the best option for generating the revenue Saskatchewan families rely on to pay for schools, hospitals, long-term care homes and highways,” says Christianson.

Donation made for bedside monitors
FRONT ROW: Deyland Lechman, Jason Carmichael, Terry Hahn, Colleen Ennett. Back Row: Darrell Halarewich, Trenton Aichele, Arron Sorensen, Kelly Dmitruk, Stacy Pawliw, Jordan Nagy.
Darrell Halarewich of Eecol Electric presented a cheque for $1,500 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation toward the new patient bedside monitors. “Eecol Electric always tries to give back to the community, and we’ve been making donations for years. What we like to do is give toward something that you know will have an impact and improve the life of people in the area,” said Mr. Halarewich. “Our customers and our employees are from all over this region, not just in Yorkton. When you look at what will make the biggest difference for the community and what will have the biggest positive impact on people for years and
years, it has to be healthcare,” said Mr. Halarewich. That’s why we decided to make a donation to The Health Foundation, we want to support the work they do to improve our local healthcare. These monitors are something new and will be great for patients and for our doctors and nurses.” “This is a terrific donation, and it is a great way to start off the New Year. Eecol Electric has been a good supporter of our work, and it is good to know they continue to support the work we do. This is a very timely donation too, we haven’t quite raised all the money for these monitors; this will help us finish this campaign,” said Ross Fisher.
Yorkton hotel receives EOC designation
Tourism Saskatchewan is pleased to announce 25 organizations designated as Employers of Choice (EOC) for 2015. Employers earn the EOC designation for leadership and commitment to best practices in human resources. Interest in this program has grown steadily since the initiative was launched in 2010. This recent cycle recorded a 67 per cent increase over the previous year. Additionally, there was growth in the number of communities, from four Saskatchewan cities in 2014 to 12 cities and towns in 2015. 2015 Employers of Choice include: • d3h Hotels Inc. (Dimension 3 Hospitality): • Days Inn Regina Eastgate* • Days Inn Regina Airport West • Home Inn & Suites – Swift Current • Home Inn & Suites – Yorkton • HomeSuites – Regina • Home Inn & Suites Regina Airport CAA Saskatchewan Canalta Hotels • Canalta Assiniboia • Canalta Esterhazy • Canalta Humboldt • Canalta Melfort • Canalta Shaunavon • Canalta Moosomin • Canalta Weyburn • Canalta Tisdale • Ramada Weyburn • Delta Bessborough Hotel, Saskatoon • Delta Regina Hotel • Gold Eagle Lodge, North Battleford* • Radisson Hotel Saskatoon* • Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation* • Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon Hotel • The James Hotel, Saskatoon • Tourism Saskatchewan • Travelodge Hotel Saskatoon “Tourism Saskat-
chewan is proud to stand alongside 24 Saskat chewan businesses that recognize the value of investing in staff and creating a safe, healthy and encouraging work environment. The growth in the number of Employers of Choice is impressive, but equally inspiring is the fact that the program has expanded to a dozen Saskatchewan communities. This reflects leadership among our sector in communities large and small, urban and rural,” Mary Taylor-Ash, Tourism Saskatchewan CEO, said. The tourism Employer of Choice initiative, the first of its kind in Saskatchewan and now in its fifth year, is designed to help tourism businesses attract and retain staff. The program encourages employers to engage in best practices, increase staff training, improve human resources practices and become leaders in the tourism sector.

Importance of literacy marked
Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999. It is held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Parkland College marked Family Literacy Day with an author reading on January 28. In partnership with the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild Author Readings Program, the College
was pleased to welcome Saskatoon-based author Carey Rigby-Wilcox for a reading. Dozens of students from the Yorkton main campus of Parkland College attended the event. Rigby-Wilcox struggled with reading and writing throughout her school years but became very aware of the importance of literacy when she became a mother. She describes herself as a committed learner, activist, volunteer, business owner, illustrator, and author who is deep-
ly dedicated to promoting literacy at the local, provincial, and national levels. “Forty-two percent of Canadian adults have low literacy skills, and I am someone who fits into this alarming statistic,” she said. “I have worked with a literacy tutor for over 23 years. Today I am motivated and passionate to help create awareness and inspire change.” According to ABC Life Literacy Canada, taking time every day to read to children or do
a learning activity with them is crucial to their development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well. Wednesday’s author reading at Parkland College was sponsored by the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild with support from
Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund, SaskCulture, and the Saskatchewan Arts Board. About Parkland College: Since its inception in 1973, Parkland College has worked to expand the philosophy of lifelong learning in East Central Saskatchewan. Among the seven basic principles upon which
the community college system was founded is the idea that programs are to be developed in response to the needs of the community. Today, Parkland College offers a broad spectrum of educational services from trades training and high school upgrading to the province’s most diverse off-campus university offerings.
PCS raises funds for food banks Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) and the food banks of Saskatchewan wrapped up a matching gift campaign to support the province’s vulnerable citizens and thanked people for their generosity. Over the holiday season, cash donations to Saskatchewan food banks exceeded $2 million with an additional $1 million in support from PotashCorp. “For the fourth consecutive year, we would like to thank generous donors from across Saskatchewan for their support. Their contributions reached a record high,” said Jochen Tilk, PotashCorp’s President and CEO. “Our company is committed to being part of the food solution, both locally and globally. We’re very pleased that Saskatchewan’s citizens share this vision and support the amazing work done by our local food banks.” Since 2010 Saskatchewan holiday food bank campaigns, combined with PotashCorp’s $5 million of support, have raised more than $12.5 million to feed those in need in the communities of the 35 food
banks across the province. “The depth of gratitude that we feel for PotashCorp’s leadership in food security is difficult to express,” said Steve Compton, Acting Executive Director of the Food Banks of Saskatchewan and Executive Director of the Regina Food Bank. “The company inspires people across the province with their matching gift campaign; they’re a proactive contributor to the local food solution. PotashCorp’s continued support is an absolute game changer for food banks in Saskatchewan.” “The support we received during the holiday season is truly incredible, and we are grateful beyond words. This strong support tells us that thousands of people are passionate about the right to access nutritious food and the chance to build a better future,” said Laurie O’Connor, Executive Director of the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. “We plan to demonstrate our gratitude by bringing the same level of commitment, energy and compassion to our role in actively reducing poverty in Saskatchewan.”
Despite the province’s prosperity, food bank usage in Saskatchewan has increased by more than 50 percent since 2008. According to the HungerCount 2014 report, in one month nearly 27,000 people were assisted by food banks in Saskatchewan and almost half of those were children. The funds raised through the campaign will help food banks across the province buy supplies and equipment, deliver programs, restock shelves and support the province’s vulnerable citizens with programs and services. As the world’s largest crop nutrient company, PotashCorp plays an integral role in global food production. The company produces the three essential nutrients required to help farmers grow healthier, more abundant crops. With global populations rising and diets improving in developing countries, crop nutrients such as potash, phosphates and nitrogen offer a responsible and practical solution to help produce the food we need, from the land we have.
Salary increase awarded to judges The recommendations of the 2014 Provincial Court Commission regarding salary increases and benefits for Provincial Court judges take effect January 31, 2015. The Provincial Court Commission is established under The Provincial Court Act, 1998 to complete an independent review of judicial remuneration and benefits. It is established every three years to make recommendations based on submissions from interested parties and the public. The 2014 Commission, chaired by Doug Hodson, Q. C., recommended salary increases equivalent to the Consumer Price Index plus 2% each year for the next three fiscal years between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2018. The Commission also recommended increasing the annual professional allowance from $3,650 to $4,000. Provincial Court judges are currently paid $260,819 annually. The Government proposed a modest increase tied to the Consumer Price Index.
“Our government values the important role Provincial Court judges play in Saskatchewan’s justice system” Minister of Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “While we are disappointed with the Commission’s recommendations given the current fiscal realities facing the province, we recognize that the judge’s situation is a special case that is not the result of collective bargaining, but results from a commission process that recognizes the independence of the judiciary in our system of constitutional government.” The Supreme Court of Canada has established that provincial governments must use an independent compensation commission to consider judges’ salaries. The Provincial Court Commission is independent from the provincial government. A copy of the Provincial Court Commission Report can be viewed at http://www.justice.gov.sk.ca/provcourtcomm/.

Set health priorities for yourself When it seems as though there aren’t enough hours in the day, it can be difficult for working mothers to find time to catch their breath and enjoy life. The family is one area where the majority of women rarely compromise. While some find it difficult to be separated from their little ones, others need to be part of the workforce in order to flourish. This is where a work-family conflict can arise. Even though they
work as hard as everyone else, some working mothers often have the impression that they’re not able to produce as much as their childless colleagues. Swamped by their workloads, others feel that they are always neglecting their family responsibilities. With guilt hovering in the background, women tend to waver between the two worlds, always in search of the right balance. Although a woman might often have the
impression of being overwhelmed, all she has to do is look around to realize that this is the reality for thousands of other families. Of course, the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, but few mothers would truly want to change their lives. Above all, the key to successfully reconciling work-family responsibilities lies in organization, good time management skills, and the setting of priorities.
Give yourself some leeway in case of unforeseen events. After a hectic week, cut back on housework and organize a family outing instead. Ask your partner to give you a hand. Suggest to your employer that you could work from home when your children are sick or on vacation. In other words, find your own solutions to reduce the hectic pace of your life. After all, everyone has a right to be happy and successful!
Find new ways to keep active On one side of the scale, we have baby boomers approaching the end of their working lives, with lots of free time and few commitments. On the other side, we have a younger generation, too busy trying to stay afloat to be able to devote a lot of time to their children. Intergenerational cooperation is one obvious solution to this problem that is so typical of our times. Helping each other out has many advantages. For young people, spending time with seniors can bring a feeling of reassurance and comfort. They can learn more about where they come from, which can help them better discern which direction to take in life. For the baby boomers, this is the ideal occasion to pass on a rich and diverse heritage and to feel useful and young at heart. Here are a few suggestions for intergenerational projects that benefit both young and old folks. They might already exist in your community, and if they
don’t, you could start a new project yourself. Community gardens: teach the younger generation how to grow vegetables and they’ll help you with the weeding. Help with homework: many ex-teachers see this as an opportunity to renew ties with their vocation on a part-time basis. Read stories to children: reading aloud is proven to build brain power in children, and it will bring you into contact with some very interesting young personalities! Arts and crafts workshops: help children discover their creativity all while exploring your own. Their pride in their work is sure to inspire you. Invite your grandchildren or some young friends to your home for some intergenerational activities: prepare a meal together, build a bird-house, or play board games. Perhaps, in return, these youngsters will show you how to use the Internet or plug into a social network.

February marks Black History Month Every February marks Black History Month in Canada, providing Canadians with the opportunity to learn about and celebrate the accomplishments of Canadians who trace their family heritage to Africa and the Caribbean. Travelling throughout Saskatchewan and the Yorkton-Melville constituency these days, I note something very different from when I first became a Member of Parliament – many more black people have become an integral part of many prairie communities. Black Canadians have had a difficult
journey in overcoming prejudice and discrimination. The stories of historic communities like Africville in Halifax and Hogan’s Alley in Vancouver remind us of that journey. But by remembering the history and contributions of black communities in Canadian history, we gain a better understanding of our shared Canadian heritage. Indeed, the struggles and achievements of black Canadians have helped build the Canada of today. Throughout Canada’s proud military history, thousands of black Canadian sol-
Alexander, Canada’s first black Member of Parliament, to Willie O’Ree, the first black Canadian to play in the NHL, our Canadian heritage is filled with black Canadians who have helped make Canada the culturally diverse, benevolent and prosperous country that it is today. Saskatchewan has its own stories of black history. It comes as a surprise to many that dozens of AfricanAmerican families arrived in Saskatchewan in 1910, homesteading in the Eldon district north of Maidstone,
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz diers have courageously served our country. From the American War of Independence onwards, black Canadians have fought and died in Canada’s wars, and military campaigns. But Black History Month is also an opportunity to honour
the legacy of individual black Canadians, past and present, whose achievements and contributions have enriched the Canadian experience. From Harriet Tubman who led hundreds of slaves to freedom in Canada along the Underground Railroad, to Lincoln
the oldest of the black group settlements in Western Canada. The community is home to the only black cemetery in Saskatchewan. Canadian heritage includes black history. It’s part of our shared heritage. This month I encourage you to learn more about the stories and experiences of black Canadians by participating in one of the many events taking place in honour of Black History Month. You can also explore many stories at www. cic.gc.ca by typing “Black History Virtual Museum” in the search field.
Camping reservations begin Monday Campers who want to spend their summer vacations in Saskatchewan’s provincial parks will be able to start making campsite reservations on Monday, March 2, 2015. “Camping in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks is exceptionally popular,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “In fact, it is so popular that in past years the campsite reservation system hasn’t been able to keep up with demand. The experience of our visitors is very important to us, and we have made some important changes to our reservation system this year.” As in previous years, the launch will be staggered, with different parks becoming available on different days. This year, however, the launch will be spread out over more days than in the past. This was a suggestion made by campers, and this change will help to reduce the demands placed on the system.
The schedule for reservation launch is as follows: Monday, March 2: Blackstrap, Pike Lake Tuesday, March 3: Buffalo Pound, Danielson, Douglas Wednesday, March 4: Echo Valley, Rowan’s Ravine Thursday, March 5: Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake Friday, March 6: Crooked Lake, Moose Mountain Saturday, March 7: Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park Sunday, March 8: The Battlefords, Saskat chewan Landing Monday, March 9: Meadow Lake Tuesday, March 10: Bronson Forest Recreation Site, Chitek Lake Recreation Site, Lac La Ronge, Makwa Lake Wednesday, March 11: Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Narrow Hills In addition to spreading the launch over more days this year, a queuing system
will also be implemented. This system will enable SaskParks to manage how many people are accessing the reservation system at once. At peak volume times, visitors attempting to access the reservation website may find themselves redirected to the queue, waiting to enter the reservation website. This process will help to both ensure the stability of the reservation system and that demand is met. As in past years, reservations will open at 7:00 a.m. each day. The queuing system will begin each morning at 6:40. As customers attempt to access the reservation website between 6:40 and 7:00 am, they will be moved to the queue and assigned a random number. Beginning at 7:00 am, customers will be redirected to the reservation website based on their unique number. As new people attempt to access the reservation website, they will receive a
place in line. In the fall of 2014, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport asked its visitors whether or not they supported the idea of allowing Saskatchewan residents an opportunity to book their nightly camping in advance of people from other provinces or countries. A large number of responses were received and the majority of people were not in favour of a “Saskatchewan First” system. The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is appreciative of the opportunity to engage with its visitors in this way and thanks everyone who took the time to respond. The nightly reservation system will continue to allow all campers the same opportunity to book their Saskatchewan vacation. Campers who are interested in the opportunity to have a seasonal campsite in one of the provincial parks have until tomorrow, Thursday, January 29 at midnight to submit
their applications online. The draw to award the campsites will be made on Monday, February 2. The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the value and importance of Saskatchewan’s pro-
vincial parks and continues to invest in them. The 2014-15 budget increased funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent and capital investments will total a record $14.9 million this year.

Saskatchewanderer set to tour the province in 2015 Ashlyn George is not your average tourist. Over the past five years, George has spent 24 months total travelling the globe. She has visited more than 300 cities in 37 countries. Along the way, she has gone skydiving and bungee jumping in New Zealand, volcano boarding in Nicaragua and shipwreck diving in the Philippines. She has trekked through the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Travelling is her passion and she didn’t know if she’d ever find a job that could excite her enough to stop travelling for 12 consecutive months. That is, until her mother sent her a job ad for the Saskatchewanderer position. She knew she had to apply. While in Madagascar, George shot and edited her application video, wrote a cover letter, proofread her resume and submitted all the necessary materials. Despite the nine-hour time difference, George showed up for her interview right on time—via Skype. Although George was only a couple of months into a planned six-month trip to Africa, as soon as the job offer came through, she began the search for a flight home. George currently lives in Saskatoon and grew up on a farm near Leslie. “I wanted this job so much that I was willing to stop travelling the world and return to Saskatchewan,” George said. “Nothing beats meeting new people, trying new food and experiencing spectacular landscapes. And now I’m ready to do that in my home province: Saskatchewan. We enjoy a terrific quality of life here and I can’t wait to show the world that.” “We are delighted to welcome Ashlyn back to her home province,” Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport Mark Docherty said. “I’m sure she, with her incredible travelling experience, will eagerly explore Saskatchewan with fresh eyes and share with the public what makes it a great place to live, work and play.” “The agriculture industry is a vibrant and important part of
Saskatchewan’s economy,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “In order for it to remain as such, we need the public’s understanding and support of the sector. Ashlyn’s adventures as the Saskatchewanderer will showcase food production to those who may not be familiar with everything modern agriculture involves, helping to ensure that our farmers, ranchers and processors continue to have the social license necessary to operate.” “Ashlyn’s passion for travel and for learning more about her home province is inspiring,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “As a world traveller, she will bring a fresh perspective to the role of the 2015 Saskatchewanderer. Using her social media savvy, Ashlyn will now apply those talents to showcasing our province’s unique tourism.” “CAA Saskatchewan is thrilled to help Ashlyn on her adventures by providing her with a brand-new vehicle, a CAA membership and gas cards,” CAA S a s k a t c h e w a n President and CEO Fred Titanich said. “Throughout the year, Ashlyn will make a few stops at CAA Saskatchewan events and locations to meet members and visitors. Ashlyn is obviously a seasoned traveller and we look forward to working with her as she rediscovers Saskatchewan.” CAA Saskatchewan is the exclusive sponsor of the 2015 Saskatchewanderer project. Ashlyn is already busy planning her 2015 expeditions. If you have a story idea that you’d like to share with Ashlyn, contact her on Facebook (facebook. com/skwanderer), Twitter (twitter.com/@ skwanderer), or Instagram (instagram. com/saskatchewanderer). To keep up with the latest blogs, follow her on YouTube (youtube. com/user/skwandererofficial), or visit her website (saskatchewanderer.ca). She will be employed as the Saskatchewanderer until December 2015.
PARKLAND RIGHT TO LIFE – Every year on January 28, the anniversary of the legalization of abortion in Canada, Parkland Right to Life gathers at the corner of Broadway and Dracup to “witness against abortion” and call for a change in the law. Ted Deneschuk, president of Parkland Right to Life, says that they want to promote a “culture of life,” and that their opposition also extends to euthanasia and assisted suicide.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 5, 2015 - Page 19A
Kids today are better at being little devils Ed, my neighbor next door, has no time for talk of love and obedience from children. My neighbor says his parents expected him to try and get away as much stuff as possible. He was proud of being a little devil even though he regretted his punishments on some occasions. Ed said he never expected his kids to be little angels, and they never disappointed him. “Knowing right from wrong makes no difference to kids or adults, the fun of life is getting away with what you are not suppose to do,” Ed told me yesterday. My neighbor showed me a story about
11-year –old Alexis Waller of central Arkansas. He was so impressed with her story because Ed sees her as being a better little devil than he could ever claim to be. Alexis decided a few weeks ago that she wanted to see a boy in Florida that she had been in touch with for two years. The girl stole $10,000.00, from her grandmother’ sock drawer, and left home with the money in the middle of the night. After hitching a ride with a stranger to a gas station, she called a taxi. She told the driver she wanted to go to Florida and paid him $1,000.00 cash to start
Good Spirit Acres Community Newsletter
The Good Spirit Acres Community Association would like to thank everyone who supported their recent fundraisers. - All the food and money donations from the Christmas dinner were given to the Salvation Army for their Christmas hampers. - The Christmas Greeting board money of $450 was also given to the Salvation Army but designated for the people who were affected by the recent apartment building fire in Yorkton. Winners of the Community Association tickets for the Stars for Saskatchewan Series for January 13th were Fern and Garth Sherwood and the January 27th tickets were given to Virginia Johnson and Rosa Waldschlaeger. The next concert in the series will feature Royal Wood on February 22nd. Winners of these tickets will be notified by Elaine Park. The afternoon of bowling sponsored by the Community Association on Sunday, January 26th was well attended and enjoyed by both the young and the old. Mark your calendars for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Irish Stew fundraiser. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 21st at the Good Spirit Park Recreation Hall starting at 5:00. Tickets will be available starting March 1st at the Good Spirit Market and from Community
Association board members. There will once again be a silent auction so if you have anything you would like to donate please get in touch with Elaine Park, Lynn McDonald or Linda Moore. The Community Association has decided to purchase a playground boat for the Spilchen Meadows playground. Delivery and installation of the boat will be at the end of May. Once again members of the community will be helping out with the noon lunch and fuel fill up for the 2015 Easter Seals Snowarama on February 7th at the Good Spirit Park Recreation Hall. Thanks to Chris Leis and Kevin Coleridge the skating rink and cross country ski trails on the golf course are ready to go and are being enjoyed by residents. The local snowmobile trails are signed and groomed. Please ride with care as there are areas of open water. Please help us keep the privilege of riding in and out of our community by observing the 40 km speed limit and remember – “QUIET IN, QUIET OUT”. Winter hours for the Good Spirt Market are 9:00 - 6:00 on Sunday to Thursday and 9:00 – 7:00 on Friday and Saturday. Fern and her sister, Margaret, have once again been busy making pies and invite you to stop in for coffee and homemade pie.
Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com grandchild of his stole money from him, even $10.00. Many people do have pride in the wrong or sin they have done or are doing. Could it be a large number of
driving her there. Thankfully, the girl’s parents awoke in the night found her missing, and called the police. The police, through her cell phone information, were able to call the taxi that had traveled to Atlanta, Georgia. Her parents both angry and relieved drove to Atlanta to reclaim their daughter. Ed thought the girl was as an impressive little devil. I cannot share his opinion. What others do wrong will impress some other folks with their boldness and originality! My neighbor and I have a different sense of what is right and wrong; what is a sin and what is being strong-willed. I’m not impressed with the girl’s adventure but saddened that she would steal money from her grandmother. I know how Ed loves money, and he would not be laughing if a
people are proud of getting drunk or being good at cheating and lying, gossiping, being self-righteous? How many will do whatever they can get away with doing? Some will do whatever they want no matter who gets hurt by their actions. Most do not care about what or who is doing wrong unless their lives are not touched by it. Anyone considering the Ten Commandments of God knows that they can
quickly show us how we fail to keep them perfectly in thought, word and deed. They prove we are not perfect adults or children. They point us to Jesus Christ the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The gospel is the good news that God calls us from sin or wrong to His love and forgiveness and will for us. His will is that whatever we wish others would do to us we would also do to them.
