An evening in Africa!

New pension option unveiled – saving for retirement The Government of Saskatchewan has introduced legislation to create an important new option to help provincial residents save for retirement.

The Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act will ensure all Saskatchewan workers are eligible to enroll in low-cost, tax-assisted pension plans, providing an alternative for those workers who currently do not have access to group pension plans.

Amendments are also being introduced today to The Saskatchewan Pension Plan Act which will permit the trustees of the Saskatchewan Pension Plan (SPP) to apply to be a licensed Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP) provider.

“Our government is pleased to provide Saskatchewan residents with additional opportunities to save for retirement,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant comments.

“These legislative changes will provide new and affordable pension options to employees of participating employers and

the self-employed.”

“As our province grows, it is important that our government looks for ways to help improve the quality of life for Saskatchewan people,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz adds.

“In some instances the generators of job growth – entrepreneurs, small businesses and self-employed people – struggle to provide a registered workplace pension plan.

“PRPPs offer people an important option – a simple, defined contribution plan that keeps costs and fees down for employers, particularly small businesses. We think this is a great way to help Saskatchewan people save for their retirement.”

The province’s introduction of legislation follows the federal government’s legislation passed in December 2012, as part of a national effort to make low-cost, well-regulated pension plans available to millions of Canadians who don’t have access to occupational pension plans.

Event provides value

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

AN EVENING IN AFRICA – Complete with authentic entertainment, over the weekend the Parkland College’s held its newest scholarship fundraiser, An Evening in Africa, and it’s now being lauded as a great success. See a full story on Page 3.

BLANKET CLASSIFIEDS

Yorkton Fire Protective Services was the host of the 2013 Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs Conference and Trade Show.

Approximately 240 chiefs and deputy chiefs from across the province attended the show to meet and discuss the issues most important to their department.

Yorkton Chief Dean Clark says that it was a busy and valuable three days, as bringing togeth-

er the province’s fire chiefs provides a valuable opportunity to see what’s happening throughout the province when it comes to major issues.

He says many of the issues facing departments are the same not just in the province, but across Canada, and that a conference like this is valuable to see if there are any answers and collaborate on facing the different problems out there.

SAFC conference valuable for chiefs Con’t from Page 1.

The topic of training was one of the main issues for chiefs at the conference, Clark says, and that also provided the most questions and discussion among the different departments during the various sessions.

“You could tell that there is some passion for that topic.”

Response borders and infrastructure were other big issues, as well as cooperating with the city council. He says that while Yorkton’s Fire Protective Service has a good relationship with city council, this is not a universal across the province, and both sides need education to help better understand each other and serve their towns and cities.

“We’ve got people who are afraid of their councils, and councils who are afraid of their chiefs,” he adds.

An important part of the event was the “bear

Clark says that the SAFC is working towards a strategic plan and setting a direction, so a conference like this is important for getting that information from its

members.

One of the speakers at the event was Duane McKay, Saskatchewan Commissioner of Emergency Management and Fire Safety. He spoke of some of the issues facing departments in the province now.

One problem that is worrying many in the province is flooding, something McKay says he didn’t think would be his biggest concern in the fire service when he started decades ago.

However, he says that right now the province has learned from severe weather in the past three years, and is better prepared than it has been before.

“Over 500 mitigative structures were put in place to control water throughout the province.

Those coupled with the resources that we have such as sandbags, water tubes and equipment just to respond to floods are in place. It’s well organized, we can move rapidly, we

SUSPECTS SOUGHT – The Yorkton Municipal Detachment of the RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance to identify suspects involved in the following matter. On January 16, 2013 at approximately 8:00 p.m. one male and two females entered the Walmart in Yorkton, SK. They removed a shopping cart full of items which included a Samsung TV. The male was wearing an orange coat with a black baseball cap and black pants, the females were both wearing blue jeans and black jackets. If you have information about this or any other crime, please contact your nearest police service or RCMP, or if you wish to remain anonymous Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, *8477 on Sask-Tel Mobility, text TIP206 plus your message to CRIMES (274637) or submit a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers.com If your information leads to an arrest or a case being cleared, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.00.

have responding teams.

It’s not that we’re going to be able to respond to everything, but certainly we are well prepared both experience-wise and resource-wise,” he says.

Technology is one of the big concerns into the future, and McKay says that his goal is to see even the smallest departments have GPS and tablets in order to more effectively do their job.

He says there are a couple projects in the works, such as completely mapping out the province, as well as using the 700mhz band, which he says will make it easier to find locations where fires and other emergencies are happening, as well as report back home to manage them more effective-

ly.

“We have been collecting a lot of data to support our dispatch system at the centralized level, now the challenge will be to get it out so the actual responders will have access.”

McKay says that Saskatchewan is a provincial leader with things like 911 dispatch. He says that making it a provincial service has made for a system that is very stable, and is well funded in order to keep up with changing technology.

Other provinces are now following Saskatchewan’s lead, because they see how a well-funded 911 system can change and adapt. He notes that in the future he wants to see a centralized dispatch

center, which he says would provide greater service and resources for less money.

When it comes to the Yorkton conference, McKay says it’s always good to get fire protective services together, and that Yorkton has lived up to its reputation for putting on a good conference.

Clark says that the success of the conference comes down to a quality team that got things accomplished.

“There are a lot of people who do a lot of good work to put on a conference like this, and I would like to thank them for their time and energy.

Without their help we wouldn’t have had the success that we did,” Clark concludes.

THE SASKATCHEWAN Association of Fire Chiefs annual conference featured a trade show, where different equipment and services were displayed for the approximately 240 attendees.

DUE TO CUSTOMER DEMAND OUR SALES DEPARTMENT WILL BE

New pension option unveiled Con’t from Page 1.

The governments of British Columbia and Quebec have introduced similar legislation.

PRPP providers will administer these new plans, reducing the administrative burden on employers. In addition, employer contributions to PRPPs will not be considered salaried compensation and will have certain payroll advantages over alternative models like group Registered Retirement Savings Plans.

Saskatchewan Pension Plan Board of Trustees Chair Tim Calibaba welcomed the introduction of legislation and the amendments which will permit the trustees of the SPP to apply to be a PRPP provider.

“The Saskatchewan Pension Plan was created in 1986 to provide a unique way to save for retirement for people with little or no access to employer-sponsored pension plans or other retirement savings arrange-

ments,” Calibaba says. “These changes help us provide even more choice in offering ways Saskatchewan workers can save for their retirement.”

Under the legislation proposed by the Government of Saskatchewan, an employer’s enrolment in these plans is optional. If an employer chooses to offer a PRPP to its workers, the employees will be automatically enrolled but will also have the ability to opt out.

Employers will not be obligated to make matching contributions and workers whose employers do not set up a PRPP, as well as self-employed individuals, will be able to deal directly with a PRPP administrator to open an account, similar to opening an RRSP. The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan will be responsible for overseeing the PRPP legislation and will develop further regulations that are required before this legislation is proclaimed.

Exciting evening in Africa It was a Yorkton first but it was met with great success.

Over the weekend the Parkland College’s held its newest scholarship fundraiser, An Evening in Africa, and it’s now being lauded as a great success. Preliminary estimates indicate the Saturday night event, held at the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton netted approximately $6,000 for post-secondary student scholarships at Parkland College. Once matched by the Government of Saskatchewan’s Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship program, An Evening in Africa will fund about $12,000 in new scholarships.

“We are so thrilled that the community put its support behind this brand new fundraiser,” says Carol Wiens, chair of the organizing committee. “The turnout was fantastic, and dozens of local businesses really stepped up as sponsors. It’s remarkable to see the community give back in this way.”

An Evening in Africa was created as a fun night out after several community members noted Yorkton needed such a social function. Demand was very healthy, said Wiens, with about 95 per cent of the tickets sold. Attendees were treated to a live drumming and dancing performance from ONYXSTASIA African Princess Dance Troupe, two New York-style fashion shows featuring the latest spring looks

for men and women, and numerous African-inspired appetizers and beverages.

“When you’re hosting an inaugural event, you never know how it’s going to go,” Wiens admits, “but we’re so happy with the way it turned out. We raised a lot of money for our students, everyone had a great time, and we learned a few things to make our next night out an even bigger success.”

The night allowed Parkland College to highlight its long-standing connection to Africa. In the last decade, the college has invested in educational partnerships with institutions in Africa, several staff members have travelled to Kenya to share expertise and exchange ideas, and college staff have sponsored a young man in his quest to receive an education.

Parkland College is planning a similar fundraising event for 2014 titled Hooray for Bollywood. It will be a celebration of Indian culture and cuisine, as well as the college’s connection to India through its international student program.

Contributions to the Parkland College Scholarship Initiative have helped the College maintain the ability to invest in the education and training of residents in the Parkland area. The fund itself has grown from $500 in its first year to over $100,000 in each of the last two academic years.

Motorcycle review set to begin SGI has announced it is forming a formal Motorcycle Review Committee (MRC) to examine key factors impacting motorcycle insurance rates in Saskatchewan.

The MRC, made up of motorcycle drivers, motorcycle dealers, motorcycle safety training providers, health care professionals and insurance brokers, will meet in May. An independent facilitator will lead the discussions.

“We welcome this opportunity to work with the motorcycle

community and all affected stakeholders in finding effective solutions to the issues with motorcycle safety, rating and insurance coverage,” comments Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “While rates are about dollars and cents, the biggest issue at hand is saving lives and preventing injuries.”

The initial MRC meetings will be used to develop a discussion document that will be shared with the public in June to gather fur-

ther input. Based on that feedback, SGI will provide recommendations to government by fall.

Ideas and suggestions regarding motorcycle safety programming, rating structure and injury benefit levels can continue to be submitted to motor cycles@sgi.sk.ca.

Feedback on SGI’s current rate proposal, including comments on proposed increases for motorcycle rates, should be directed to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel.

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) and its 235 member-owned retail Co-ops have announced they are donating $1,000,000 over five years to help local Co-ops and the Canadian Red Cross work together to provide effective, communitybased emergency response throughout Western Canada. This is the largest single, multi-year donation in the history of the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS).

The Red Cross will receive $100,000/year to pre-position goods across the West in order to respond quickly to local crises. Another $100,000/ year will be available to match local retail Co-ops’ emergency donations to the Red Cross.

Equally important, Co-op employees will have the opportunity to step up as volunteers to assist in the event of local emergencies. In the first year of the partnership retail Co-ops with operations in and around Brandon, Portage La Prairie, Prince Albert, Yorkton, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Aldergrove and Comox Valley are encouraging employees to become volunteer reservists with their local Red Cross.

“For almost a century, Co-ops and their employees have built a reputation of being good neighbors who are always there for individuals and communities when disasters strike,” says FCL CEO Scott Banda.

“The Co-operative Retailing System is excited to be partnering with the Red Cross in taking our support during times of local emergencies to the next level.”

“Partnering with the Canadian Red Cross to help people within our communities during crisis fits well with our values of a locally invested and community minded co-operative.”

– Bruce Thurston, General Manager, Yorkton Co-op.

In 2012, the Red Cross provided assistance to 4,531 individuals during 359 emergency situations ranging from individual house fires to floods across Western Canada.

“Preparing for disasters is vitally important for residents of Western Canada,” adds Sue Phillips, Director General Western Canada, Canadian Red Cross. “FCL and retail Co-ops have recognized the importance of preparedness through their generous gift of $1 million dollars. Thanks to Co-op’s foresight and initiative, communities will be better prepared for disasters, and Co-op employee reservists will have the ability to support Red Cross teams during local disasters.”

The Red Cross has worked carefully with FCL to select the eight retail Co-ops participating in the volunteer reservist program in 2013.

These Co-ops were selected based on the Red Cross’s assessment of where it believes there is the greatest potential for disasters to occur, and where the need for additional local volunteer support is the greatest.

One of the Co-ops chosen for the first year is the Yorkton Co-operative Association, which employs 205 people and

13042RR00

provides goods and services to 13,000 members in four east-central Saskatchewan communities.

“Partnering with the Canadian Red Cross to help people within our communities during crisis fits well with our values of a locally invested and community minded co-operative,” comments Bruce Thurston, General Manager, Yorkton Co-op.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to involve our employees in this initiative, and I know that our employees will step up to help their neighbours should the need arise.”

Employees volunteering for the reservist program will receive training from the Red Cross. General duties include registration of evacuees, distribution of clothing vouchers, feeding, fundraising and donations management. They will be available for a period of up to two days per year and more if agreed to by the Co-op, employee and Red Cross.

This year all partners will test the program to ensure that everyone understands roles and responsibilities, and to make adjustments based on their feedback. The plan is to continue to enroll additional retail coops in the future.

Wear pink: put an end to bullying Yesterday was “Pink Shirt Day” in the City of Yorkton and even if didn’t sport a pink shirt, you can still get involved with the cause.

The original Pink Shirt Day event was organized by David Shepherd, and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male ninth grade student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the first day of school.

While one day has been formally set aside to create awareness and encourage the need to prevent bullying, the fact is bullying happens everyday to a wide variety of people. It’s not exclusive to children and it’s something we can all play a role in putting an end to. Whether you wear pink or not, make the choice to get involved. It’s when bullying isn’t tolerated or accepted that we have a chance to put a stop to it.

“It is clear that bullying behaviour is an issue that Saskatchewan wants to stomp out and we are thrilled to see how many people are joining us to help make bullying a thing of the past,” says Norm Jakubowski, RespectED Manager for the Canadian Red Cross.

The Canadian Red Cross works with schools across Saskatchewan to train youth and adults how to recognize, prevent and address bullying.

Together, they say, we can make a difference – and we can.

Fewer beds but are there fewer crimes?

There might be a decline in the number of beds needed but it’s not because there’s any notable improvements.

According to statistics, the number of incarcerated teens in the province has dropped so much that units are being closed at all three youth detention centres – including the Orcadia Youth Residence in Yorkton.

Since 2000/2001 the number of youth in custody has reportedly dropped by 45 per cent to an average daily count of 185 in 2012. That’s compared to 342 in 2000. The numbers have declined so much that 24 beds were closed in Saskatoon, 13 in Yorkton and 12 in Regina. Renovations are also underway to an unused facility in Regina so it can be used for other purposes.

Great news one would think, but here’s the real deal... While youth numbers in custody are on the decline, adult numbers are skyrocketing. Recent Statistic Canada numbers show 1,588 adults were locked up in 2011/12 – up from 1,362 four years prior.

Not so good news.

There’s a reason for it all. In 2003 the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) came into effect and it in large part, is why youth in jail are on the decline.

It’s not the fact they aren’t out there committing the crimes but it’s because the new youth act is more lenient. Under the earlier act a teen could be jailed for something as little as breaching probation – not so likely to happen anyShannon Deveau more.

“Research in Canada and around the world, particularly with regard to youth, demonstrated that harsher punishments, particularly custody, are no more effective than a lot of the community-based sanctions they could have,” says one associate professor at the U of R. “The YCJA suggests we focus on rehabilitation and reintegration, and not punishment as an end in and of itself. There are times when punishment and custody are called for, but, as I read the YCJA, that should be used as a last resort, not as a first resort... Incarceration is expensive and intrusive, so “if you can manage the youth in the community, you’re probably better off.”

Under the old act, it was much the reverse.

Well less youth may be going to jail, but it’s not because they’ve all been reformed. That’s proven by the increase in adult numbers. A slap on the wrist isn’t the answer if you ask me and we should be looking at the whole picture before boasting grande results.

The way I see it...

Column

Live like there is always going to be a tomorrow A lot of people say you should live your life like there is no tomorrow. The idea is that you should always be open to new experiences and constantly trying things you’ve always wanted to do. I can respect the sentiment, but I can’t help but think it’s a much better choice to live like you’re going to live forever.

I have reached this conclusion after the recent death of film critic Roger Ebert. He had been ill for some time, losing his lower jaw and the ability to speak due to cancer. He had announced that he would slow down his output due to the return of the disease, but he still had big plans and no intention of going away any time soon. He called it a “leave of presence,” and anticipated getting better and continuing to work on the different projects he had in the works. He died soon after, but his words showed a man who had enough confidence in his continued life that he still had the ambition to work towards many different goals. Some of those will be achieved, some no longer can, but it struck me as the right approach to living your life.

The thing with living for today is that there’s only so much you can do in a day. You can enjoy yourself, but anything worth doing isn’t going to have instant results. Some of the best things take time to accom-

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger plish, and you have to take the long view if you want to feel as though you’re actually going to get there. A gardener isn’t going to get their food overnight, a parent isn’t going to see their child grow in a day, and a carpenter won’t build a house in an afternoon. Great things aren’t instant, and living like there’s no tomorrow means you’re not planning to do anything all that great.

As well, it’s always easier to accomplish goals if you believe you can one day achieve them, or have the determination to keep working towards them no matter what happens in your life. Long-term thinking might sometimes be unrealistic, or might not account

for things that will happen in the future, but it gives set goals and objectives to follow. It’s always best to have those goals to work towards and keep striving for, it ensures there’s always a reason to keep living and keep working.

Which is not to say someone shouldn’t enjoy the moment, that’s important too. But sometimes great joy can be found in working towards a long-term project, and personally the greatest joy is when something difficult, long-lasting and even potentially frustrating is finally achieved, and there’s the satisfaction of knowing you’ve successfully met the challenge. It’s might be minor, but it’s always a good thing to keep moving toward some kind of future plan.

Whether or not one agreed with Ebert’s film reviews, he still was an example of a way to lead one’s life. A man known for talking who lost his voice, he found a way to keep talking, working through text instead of speech. A man faced with terminal cancer who never gave up or assumed he wouldn’t make it.

He kept doing what he wanted to do until the day he died, possibly right up until that final moment. That’s a great way to live, just constantly confident that the sun will rise the next day, so you can always take an ambitious next step and plan for the future. Live like there’s always a new goal to accomplish.

Your letters of the Week

Addicted to crony capitalism? Looking back at To the Editor:

The federal Tories are addicted to picking corporate welfare winners and losers.

If there was one theme in the recent federal budget, it was how chock full it was with new corporate welfare. The underlying refrain was how big government will help big business with your tax dollars.

For example, early on in Budget 2013, it is clear that crony capitalism is scattered throughout the budget. On page six, Ottawa promises $1-billion to the aerospace sector over five years through the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative.

In addition, the federal government promises a new program for aerospace companies with an initial cost to taxpayers of $110 million over four years and then $55-million every year after that.

So, over the next five years, Canada’s aerospace sector will receive almost $1.2 billion in new corporate welfare money.

That’s only the start of the corporate welfare list.

From Page 7: Ottawa will deposit $920 million into the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, a corporate welfare slush fund, and spend $92 million on forestry businesses.

Page 9: $60 million for the Venture Capital Action Plan (in addition to $400 million announced in January), $37 million for granting councils to help business commercialize their products, and $325 million will go to so-called green technologies.

Page 92: Ottawa will “partner” with the provinces to deliver $3-billion to the agricultural sec-

tor. It’s not clear how much will come from the federal government and how much from the provinces but all such money originates with taxpayers anyway (or future taxpayers, given Ottawa still runs red ink budgets).

Page 117: A re-announcement of earlier plans to give $250 million to the automotive sector through the Automotive Innovation Fund.

Page 118: Another $145-million for the Automotive Partnership Canada fund.

Add it all up and Budget 2013, in conjunction with a few announcements earlier this year, provides $6.4 billion in new corporate welfare, courtesy of Canadian families. That number doesn’t include corporate welfare announced in previous budgets.

Bizarrely, in a related example of picking winners and losers, the government announced an extension of the accelerated capital cost allowance to manufacturing companies investing in equipment.

While the ability to write off equipment more swiftly is not corporate welfare per se, the sector-specific picking is curious.

After all, Budget 2013 notes how investment in machinery and equipment in the Canadian manufacturing sector has seen stronger growth than similar investment in that sector in the United States.

The government also notes how research and development by sector is already strongest in manufacturing, with over $7-billion invested in 2012. That compares to the category of mining, oil and gas extraction, at less than a billion dollars last year.

Favouritism aside – and nei-

ther sector should be favoured – such accelerated write-offs are at least not a transfer of tax dollars, unlike crony capitalism which is a political act that promotes the illusion of “doing something” for the economy but at the expense of taxpayers in general.

Budget 2013 makes the usual defences for crony capitalism: jobs are created with the help of a micromanaging federal government.

In his budget speech, the Finance Minister asserted the Conservative budget reflects a belief of Canadians that “their government will be a benign and silent partner in their enterprise.”

I have three questions for the finance minister: How do you know Canadians want you to use their tax dollars to be a “silent partner” with business? Why must government be a “partner” in any business enterprise through loans and grants? Why not just let corporations compete without dragging taxpayers into the ring?

Economists are clear that crony capitalism fails because it takes money from taxpayers and productive businesses and, in the case of businesses, transfers it to businesses in the same sector at the expense of the “giving” business.

The official title of Budget 2013 was “Jobs, Growth, and LongTerm Prosperity.” It should have been “Grants, Subsidies and Eternal Business Handouts.” It should also have had a price tag attached for taxpayers on the front cover: $6.4 billion in new corporate welfare.

Optimism fades for effective rail service To the Editor: After years of delay (and a few temporary flashes of hope), the Harper government is setting up yet another disappointment for those who depend upon railways to move their goods.

Since 2006, the shippers of agricultural commodities, forest products, minerals, chemicals, fertilizers, manufactured goods – pretty well the whole gamut of things moved by rail – have expressed serious concerns about deficient railway services. Transportation failures cost them a lot of money and damage Canada’s economic efficiency.

Finally, in 2008, the Conservatives agreed to launch a formal “rail service review” to examine shippers’ complaints. But it took until 2009 before a panel was appointed to

do the work.

By the fall of 2010, that panel reported what was already painfully obvious.

Rail services were indeed substandard, and the reason was an imbalance in market power - i.e., most shippers were “captives” of the railways, with no meaningful competition and no effective legal recourse.

The panel described how many shippers were getting the railway services they ordered only about 50 per cent of the time. Measures would be required in the law to even things up.

Just before the 2011 federal election, the government said it agreed with all that. But right after the election, instead of acting, it launched yet another study – which finished in the spring of 2012 with nothing further being resolved. Af-

ter six more months of stalling, legislation was finally tabled in Parliament (Bill C-52) last December.

C-52 purports to give every shipper the right to have an enforceable “service level agreement” with the railway it relies upon. If such an agreement cannot be successfully negotiated between the parties, the shipper is entitled to go to the Canadian Transportation Agency to have an agreement arbitrated.

Initial reaction to C-52 was favourable – until shippers began to examine the fine print.

Among other problems, the legislation does not include any effective definition of what services the railways would be obliged to supply. It uses the same old vague and inadequate language that has been in the law for a

long time. That’s part of the problem.

And instead of providing for damages to go to shippers when railways fall down on the job, C-52 creates “monetary penalties” (i.e., fines) which would go to the federal treasury. So what good is that? Meanwhile, the railways retain the unilateral right to impose demurrage costs and other charges on the shippers. The imbalance is striking.

Some shippers say C-52 is better than nothing, but many are pushing for amendments to better accomplish what was originally promised.

Shippers are asking for simple fairness. To date, the reaction from the Conservatives is numbing indifference.

Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

Despite his claims, Breitkreuz is raising your taxes To the Editor: MP Garry Breitkreuz likes to boast that the Conservatives “plan to continue to introduce tax breaks.” There’s only one problem: they’re actually doing the reverse.

The Conservatives’ federal budget increases tariffs on everyday items imported from dozens of countries. These rising tariffs are a hidden tax on everything, from clothing and shoes to household cleaning products to televisions.

They are also increasing your Employment Insurance taxes. In-

creasing this tax on jobs is reckless when so many areas of the economy are still struggling.

Stephen Harper and his crew are increasing taxes on hospital parking, taxes on life insurance, taxes on safety deposit boxes, taxes for airport security, taxes on credit unions, and the list goes on.

For years now, Conservatives have tried to boast that they never raise taxes. That was easy to do when they took power and inherited a $13 billion surplus from the previous Liberal government.

However, these tax-and-spend

Conservatives dug themselves into a deep deficit; they increased program spending by almost 40 percent and are now hiking taxes left, right and centre.

The next time you see Mr. Breitkreuz, remind him to show his constituents some respect and be honest about taxes. No amount of spin or government advertising (that they pay for with your taxes) can change the fact that a tax hike is a tax hike, and we know it.

our rich history

To the Editor: I wanted to touch base regarding the anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9. The battle, which lasted three days, was the first time all Canadian units were under the command of a Canadian General. All previous attempts to push the Germans back from Vimy Ridge failed, but through technical innovation and meticulous planning the Canadians were able to take the Ridge.

There are many well known heroes in Canada’s military history, but they rarely acted alone. We wanted to share the story of one such hero, so we’ve dug into Ancestry.ca’s collection of historic records to highlight one soldier’s journey.

Gunner Joseph Henry Mees was 28 years old when he fought in the Battle of Vimy Ridge. As a gunner Joseph’s duty likely would have put him in frequent close proximity to direct combat – if he wasn’t participating directly. Following you will find his story.

Ninety six years ago Canada came of age. Our valour at the battle Vimy Ridge proved we were more than just a partner to British troops. In April of 1917, we became a nation, ready and willing to take the enemy head-on.

The battle gave our country four Victoria Cross medals – the highest military honour awarded to members of the commonwealth – but not always do our decorated war heroes act alone. In war victory is achieved by the determination and sacrifice of many everyday heroes. One of these everyday heroes was Joseph Henry Mees.

Joseph was born on Feb. 2, 1889, and just weeks after his 27th birthday he signed up to serve in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force in February 1916. He would leave behind his wife Mary Julian Mees and two small daughters in Montreal.

Joseph was enlisted as a gunner. Equivalent to a private in Commonwealth armies, a gunner is affectionately referred to as “the ammunition carrier”. During the First World War gunners provided close support to other men in combat or attacked targets and were often in close proximity to or participating in direct combat. Courage was incredibly important to these highly engaged artillery positions.

One year after enlistment, Joseph found himself at the battle of Vimy Ridge. Joseph wrote home as much as possible and in one letter he mentions his Vimy Ridge experience. He writes that prior to the battle there was considerable shelling by the Germans, but until all their artillery was in place his crew could not fire back.

However, the taking of Vimy Ridge went perfectly. He boasts that his infantry was tickled with his crew’s work.

Soon after the battle, while he was resting in what was left of the village of Vimy, Joseph and three other crew members were injured by German shelling. Thankfully, his wounds were described as slight.

He returned home to Canada in 1919, and quickly settled into the life of an ordinary man, like so many other returning heroes before and after him. He had two more children, worked as a tile settler and passed away at the age of 63 in 1952.

This is a really nice example of some of the amazing stories you can find using Ancestry.ca.

Local employee awarded Carey Gleason, a technician at Terry Ortynsky’s Royal Ford, has received Saskatchewan’s highest safe worker award; the Work Safe Saskatchewan’s Safe Worker Award for 2013.

“It was really quite a shock.

There were so many nominees from larger companies who had all done really important things in the area of safety,” says Gleason.

He believes he received the award because his safety focus is so broad. “ I’ve been on the safety committee for the last three years, and I really focus on the day to day safety issues, not just in the shop, but in the whole dealership. Being on the safety committee has really changed my way of thinking – safety is really on my mind all the time now, and not just at work,” he said.

The Safe Worker Award is sponsored by the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and the

Saskatchewan Safety Council. Its purpose is to highlight the important contributions workers make in eliminating or reducing injuries and illness in the workplace, and to recognize an individual who has shown an exemplary commitment to workplace health and safety. Workplace peers and colleagues nominate the recipients of these awards. A WorkSafe Saskatchewan committee then adjudicates the nominations Gleason was nominated for the award because of the work he has done to help the dealership enhance its safety practices.

• To help address concerns about potential back problems in relation to hoisting tires, Carey fabricated a hoist hanger at minimal cost to the dealership. The hoist hanger has significantly reduced back and leg strain and injuries among employees.

• He has installed anti-

vibration wrap on shop tools to lessen vibration.

• To further protect employees he regularly reminds technicians about the importance of wearing hearing protection, safety glasses and safety toe boots.

• He is trusted by the technicians to help resolve safety concerns, making his role integral to the organization.

“When everyday people make injury prevention and safety priorities, Mission: Zero becomes a reality,” adds Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board chair David Eberle in a news release, adding 2012 was the 10th year in a row that Saskatchewan has seen a drop in time-loss injuries.

“Carey is always on the outlook for ways to improve safety in our dealerships.

He understands the relationship of safety and quality in the workplace,” concludes Terry Ortynsky, dealer principal, Terry Ortynsky’s Royal Ford.

All time fiddle champ slated He’s back by popular demand!

Multiple winner of titles at the Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Championships, Scott Woods and his band will carry on the tradition of old time music with a new two hour live show called Swingin’ Fiddles, soon to be presented in Yorkton.

Scott Woods hails from Fergus Ontario and is affectionately known throughout Canada as ‘The Flippin’ Fiddler’ – a nickname acquired by his knack for doing a front running somersault while playing the fiddle – and not missing a beat.

Not surprisingly, Scott is also a Canadian Novelty Fiddle Champion.

For seven years, Woods was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer in a show called “Memories of Don Messer’s Jubiliee,” paying tribute to the late great icon. Scott now travels across the country continuing his own family tradition of old time fiddle music that was started by his father & The Merv Woods Orchestra back in 1950. Scott’s mother, Carolyn, still plays piano and travels with the band today.

Swingin’ Fiddles features the upbeat, danceable music of the 30’s, 40’s & 50’s – western swing, pop standards, country, gospel and more pack the program. Three fiddlers playing in harmony, incredible step dancing, homespun family humour and of course his trick fiddling make this a fun-filled show for all ages to enjoy.

Swingin’ Fiddles will take place Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, 380 Broadway Street West in Yorkton. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids age 6-12 and kids five & under get in free. Advance tickets & information are available at the Legion or by calling toll free 1-855-SCOTTWOODS (1-855-726-8896).

RED HATTERS – They are all about fun and friendship for ladies over the age of 50 and they are very active in Yorkton. The local Red Hat Society has announced it will be hosting its 9th annual convention in Yorkton this month and in keeping with that fact, the City of Yorkton has proclaimed the week of April 14-20 as Red Hat Society Week. A special flag raising ceremony event has also been planned for April 16 at 10 a.m. at City Hall. “Our theme this year is ‘Spring Fever’ and our goal is to treat approximately 300 ladies to the ‘down home’ Yorkton style hospitality – with entertainment, door prizes, raffles, vendors, merchandise, vouchers, tasty food and much more,” spoke member Margaret Cugnet to council at a recent meeting. The Yorkton branch has a membership of about 47 ladies who meet monthly for fun, friendship and support. The Yorkton convention has been slated for Friday, April 19 & 20 at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre. To learn more visit: www.redhatsociety.com or call Eleanor Shumay at 306-783-5582.

Think Pink: put an end to bullying

Yesterday was “Pink Day” in the City of Yorkton where it was guessed at least 20,000 people across the province sported pink shirts in support of a very worthwhile cause.

The original Pink Day event was organized by David Shepherd, and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male ninth grade student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the first day of school. The initiative encourages all residents to wear pink to both create an awareness and show people the need to stand up to bullying of all forms.

“Day of Pink, along with Canadian Red Cross bullying prevention training will raise awareness of bullying and help children, youth and adults in our community stand up for each other and create a safer community for all.”

My famous sausage and fennel pasta recipe As a cookbook author and culinary instructor, I write a lot of recipes.

Probably the most favorite pasta recipe of the masses would be my Famous Sausage & Fennel Pasta. This recipe is in my Volume 3 cookbook in the Chef Dez on Cooking cookbook series.

How it became “famous” is that I have made it for years for family gatherings and everyone always asks for the recipe. My response was always “I don’t have it written down – it’s just in my head!” So finally I put it to paper.

FYI: ‘vegetable stock paste’ is vegetable stock that has been reduced to a paste form. It can be found in most major grocery stores down the broth or spice aisles.

The most popular brand is “Better Than Bouillon” made by Superior Touch. It comes in small glass jars and other flavours such as beef, chicken, and turkey. By the way, the words “stock” and “broth” are interchangeable.

Happy Cooking!

tomed pan.

Turn the heat on to medium-high and cook, while breaking up the sausage, until the sausage is fully cooked and in small pieces, approximately 8 to 12 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, wine, vegetable paste, and sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce over medium heat until the sauce becomes very thick, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Cook your pasta in boiling, liberally salted water to desired consistency

(approximately 13 to 15 minutes for penne, but read your package instructions) during this step.

Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the whipping cream and then the cooked and drained pasta. Serve immediately garnished with parsley and grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

Makes approximately six portions.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - Page 9A

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training.

This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Mother Nature is teasing us! Icy cold one day and then balmy (in relative winter terms) warm the next!

What’s up with that! But all in all, winter has not been too bad up to now.

Hopefully it’ll stay that way through March.

We have started to plan for the spring and summer. Firstly we have to finish bucking up the deadfall for firewood. Then we’ll pick up some hens ready to lay, so we will get fresh eggs!

Yummy! Of course we will get some broiler and turkey chicks, and raise them up organically for fall butchering.

We are debating getting some geese.

We are a family that rely on democratic principles during family discussions, and in this case I would like to get some geese, but my wife does not.

We took a vote, but because it is only

the two of us, it was a tie! The motion was tabled until further notice. When I think back on these kinds of past discussions, it appears to me that the democratic principles have been set aside so many times, that sometime ago it was changed to dictatorial principles, as my wife always wins! I was going to suggest that we raise pigs again, but I think I’ll wait to see if I win the motion about the geese first.

The pig issue might be boaring to her, a sloppy idea perhaps, sow I think I’ll wait for now. Then of course we also need to develop a garden patch, so we can grow our own potatoes and veggies.

The barn with the new addition will also be painted red with white trims this summer. It will really make our yard look a lot neater. My wife has some ideas to “cozy” up our yard a bit more, and also finish the railing on the deck. We’ll be busy, but it’s an “enjoyable” kind of busy!

A totally unrelated story with a moral: One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried piteously

for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth retrieving the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began shovelling dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.

Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and trample it down, bringing him closer to the surface. As the farmer’s neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and trample it down bringing him ever closer to the surface. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all

kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up! Each of our troubles are stepping stones. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

Remember the five simple rules to be happy: • Free your heart from hatred – Forgive • Free your mind from worries – Most never happen • Live simply and appreciate what you have • Give more · • Expect less NOW……

Enough of that... The donkey came back later and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock!

THE TRUE MORAL OF THE STORY: When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you!

Cherish yesterday, dream of tomorrow, don’t forget to now After a cold long winter we all long for spring. We all wait to see those first green blades of grass and the splashes of beautiful color from all the spring flowers. The beautiful daffodils and tulips will soon begin to bloom.

The buds will soon be on the trees, and some colorful birds will again be arriving for the summer.

April is to bring spring showers, and I hope it not is in the form of snow showers- but that those showers are warm raindrops falling in our midst. April showers, then in turn, are to bring May flowers as the saying goes. We await a spring which is bursting with new life

and new growth.

As spring approaches we get this feeling of putting our house in order and we start some house cleaning.

It appears we have accumulated many unnecessary items over the winter and it is time to house clean and place everything in order again. We long to bring that newness and freshness into our homes.

Most of us start by turning our homes upside down as we clean out corners and closets, we take things apart and start to clean and refresh our homes.

We reach into every dark corner of our homes in order to make it presentable, fresh, and new.

FROM MOURNING TO JOY...

Column

by Margaret Anne Yost Sometimes I think we need to some house cleaning of our inner soul, or spiritual house cleaning. We at times need to clean out the corners of our spiritual life. We need to evaluate what is important within our lives. We need to remember who is living in our spiritual house.

There often are many emotions lingering in

our closets that interfere with our daily living. We harbour emotions such as anger, worry, grief, and resentment that rob us from living truly meaningful lives.

Many emotions enter our lives and we must deal with each one as they come along. After dealing with our emotions, we move on and live each day that is

given to us.

We are not to be anxious about what tomorrow will bring. We are always encouraged to live one day at a time.

Being anxious or worrying about our tomorrows will rob us of todays pleasures. Jesus tells us “Do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” When we’re anxious, we add tomorrow’s trouble to today. Truly, each day already has enough trouble of its own.

We are encouraged to enjoy each day. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but we can refresh our lives each new spring day.

Bicycle Safety Week May 13-19 is Bicycle Safety Week in Yorkton and as such there will be a number of initiatives taking place in the city to drive the point home.

Member of the Yorkton Municipal Detachment of the RCMP will be holding bike rodeo event at each of the four elementary schools, as well as speaking with students about the importance of bike safety.

As a part of the initiative SGI and the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute have also agreed to provide prizes for each of the events.

In conjunction, a booth will be set up for bicycle registration purposes. Currently in the City Of Yorkton the fee is $5 to register a bicycle, however, during the week of May 13-19 the city has agreed to waive the fee.

Terriers down 2-1 in Canalta Cup Final

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Three games in. Three 3-2 scores.

Three wins by the home team. That has been the story early in the Canalta Cup Final as the talented Humboldt Broncos and the Yorkton Terriers have given SJHL fans a treat with three very hard fought and entertaining championship games to set up a tense Canalta Cup Final.

Going into the series the Terriers knew that they would be coming in as the slight underdogs facing the defending champion Broncos team that won the regular season SJHL title narrowly and would have the all important home ice advantage in the final, making the Terriers task of having to knock off the league champs at least once in Humboldt’s barn.

Game One gave the Terriers a gold-

en opportunity as Dakota Odger’s late third period goal on the powerplay sent Game One into overtime with the Terriers outshooting the Broncos in regulation, giving the Terriers the feeling that they might just be able to take away the home advantage right off the jump in the final.

However a quick OT winner from Alex Forsberg gave the Broncos the Game One victory despite the Terriers outshooting the Broncos 36-24.

Forsberg’s goal game 1:01 into overtime, giving the Terriers no chance to settle in and carry over their dominant play in the second and third periods i9nto overtime. Despite the loss assistant coach Casey O’Brien felt the Terriers showed that they will be able to beat Humboldt on the road. “I felt we had a really good game in Game One” says O’Brien “We outshot the Broncos and skated really well and

just couldn’t pull it out in the end, but we know that we can pull one out in this series.”

O’Brien also noted that no matter how good the Terriers play any win they will get in this series will be tight. “There likely won’t be a game where a team wins 5-2 or 6-3 in this series we are going to have a lot of 2-1 games or 3-2 games so whatever win we get in this final will be a tight and hard fought battle to get it” concluded O’Brien.

Game Two was back at the FAA in the one and one SJHL playoff format and the Terriers were in a must win mode in this series where home ice is going to be the deciding factor needing a win to avoid going down 2-0 and having a major hole to climb out of with Matt Hrynkiw’s hot goaltending for Humboldt.

Local athlete Taryn Romanowich continues CrossFit dream

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

For Yorkton’s Taryn Romanowich her beginnings into the world of CrossFit began at the gym four years ago. “I was at Benno’s Fitness in Yorkton doing some ugly hang cleans and I saw some guys in the corner doing something crazy and they helped fixed my technique and showed me CrossFit and I got ripped up and took it from there.” Now Romanowich is the owner and instructor of Yorkton’s first CrossFit gym in Function and is an aspiring CrossFit Games athlete, combining the sport of weight lifting with the philosophy of CrossFit and functional exercise.

CrossFit describes itself as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement” the goal of it is to carry over the workouts into real life, something that drew Romanowich to the sport. Now Romanowich is in her second year of competing in the CrossFit Open with the aim of reaching the CrossFit Games, an annual event held in Los Angeles to determine the “fittest people on earth” using a random assortment of the timed CrossFit workouts. With 17 regional divisions and 12 in North America, Romanowich is competing in the Canada West Division for the second year and is looking to improve upon her 14th place finish in her first year of competing.

“Last year I came into Canada West trials in 52nd place and finished in 14th and this year my goal is to finish in the top ten,” says Romanowich who has been consistently improving the more she has been competing in the relatively new weight lifting sport. Being ranked ninth going into her final stage of pre Canada West qualifiers Romanowich will be going to Richmond BC June 7-9 as one of the outside favorites to be among the two people who get to represent Canada West at the CrossFit Games

in Los Angeles.

Coming from an athletic background Romanowich first saw the potential of functional exercise from her basketball career as the former YRHS Lady Raider noticed how much the exercises she was doing improved her on court play, saying “Basketball was my first love and I always trained for the sport and once I started with CrossFit I instantly noticed what it brought to the table for my basketball game and how it upped my physicality and what I could do on the court which drew me even more into continuing with CrossFit.” Romanowich, who still officiates basketball around the community mentioned that after awhile something that once was training for basketball became her sport and passion. “After awhile CrossFit just became my sport even though I love basketball, I just consider this to be my thing now” mentioned Romanowich.

Owning her own gym for two years, Romanowich admits that having a gym designed specifically for CrossFit as well as having a much more flexible schedule has been an invaluable asset to her training. “It has been a huge help, I have the support of all the people at Function from coaching them and in returning the people at the gym cheering me on and supporting me as well as having everything I need to train at my disposal as well as the time to train whenever I need,” explains Romanowich. With Function now almost being open for two years Romanowich focuses on coaching equally as much as her own athletic career, taking the time to instruct new members on proper form as well as helping out with the three daily sessions the gym hosts for its members.

As the ninth ranked athlete in Canada West, Romanowich advantage is in the power disciplines of the workouts such as Olympic lifting, but with a random draw of which workouts will be used in any given

tournament she will need to be proficient in each assigned workout for the event if she wants to reach her goal of top ten or the even loftier goal of being in the top two and advancing onto the Games in Los Angeles.

“My strengths are more power based and that is what I enjoy to do, but going into the event I know that there is very little chance I will get all of my best events so I need to continue to work over these next two months on getting better reps on every workout I can in order to succeed,” explains Romanowich.

As for weaknesses Romanowich explained that the mental side might be the toughest of all saying,

“Sometimes being mentally tough and motivated to push yourself is all you need to reach your personal best so that is another focus of mine right now.” Canada West Regionals will take place June 7-9 in Richmond at the Olympic Oval where Yorkton and it’s local gym will be represented with a chance to qualify for the CrossFit Games. In a new sport Romanowich has found her calling, where that calling and the sport goes is for the future to decide, but for now a local athlete looks to climb to the top in an exciting new athletic discipline as well as spreading the gospel of a new form of fitness to the community.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - Page 13A

NCAA’s come to a close, Jays struggles, Canadian hockey Spring seems to be somewhat here (the three feet of snow on the sidewalks notwithstanding) March Madness has came to a close with a classic game on Monday, baseball is back and playoff hockey is finally almost here in the NHL after the quick lockout shortened season.

With that it is time for the third straight week of Ruttig’s Rants: Rapid Fire Edition.

Let’s get started: Monday night’s NCAA Men’s National Championship Game was a reminder of why I love basketball.

With two teams that seemed to embrace that basketball is about brotherhood laying it all on the line for their schools and their teammates we were treated to a classic encounter that featured many players we will see in the NBA next season, but that is not what made it special.

Yes the Fab Five was there and seeing Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard and co. watch the next golden era of Michigan basketball take over finally 20 years later was a touching moment but it still doesn’t take the cake.

What made it special was the shooting performances of Luke Hancock and Spike Albrecht.

Two players who come from the bottom of the recruiting ladder took over the show in the title game with both players hitting nearly

every three point shot they took at the Georgia Dome.

I have been critical of the NCAA in this column and on twitter multiple times during March over them taking advantage of the players that make them billions of dollars a year in college football and basketball, especially with their handling of Kevin Ware’s horrific injury, but Monday night showed that despite the business side of things the NCAA will always come back and remind you of what you love about “amateur sports” On Tuesday the IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championships took center stage as the host Canadians were upset in the final by the Americans.

This marks the second time in less than a year that the Americans have upset Canada on the IIHF stage when you look back at the USA World Junior triumph just back in January.

It is time that everyone puts the Americans in the discussion of being on the level of hockey powers such as ourselves and Russia.

With a college and national program that churns out hungry and skilled players for their international play the Americans seem finally here to stay after years of hit and miss success on the world stage.

Further hockey notes, how excited is everyone for playoff hockey in

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig the NHL? After a long layoff due to the lockout we are well under a month away from dropping the puck on the first round.

With the potential of a Leafs/Habs first round matchup that would see the two teams meet in the playoffs for the first time most young adults lifetime and the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks all still very much alive in the playoff hunt it could be a very entertaining year of playoff hockey.

Also going on in an absolutely loaded week

of sports are the Champions League Quarterfinal Second Legs.

I know soccer may not be the cup of tea of many of my readers but the afternoon start times and the beauty of the game combined with the passion of the club supporters make it a must watch for me.

With Turkish side Galatasaray’s pageantry before hosting Spanish giants Real Madrid nearly spurring a comeback and Borussia Dortmund scoring two goals in the final 90th minute to advance to the semifinals against Spanish side Malaga

(Lorresta & Ike Harris)

can League East after coming to the Mets.

With millions of dollars and countless prospects used to drive up wins and TV ratings under this new crop of players who are supposed to take the Jays to the promised land Rogers took a risk.

With so much money tied up in veteran players and the payoff being more fans in the seats and more people tuning into Sportsnet to follow the Jays a huge gamble has been made.

If the Jays don’t win and fans don’t come Rogers ownership group will be faced with the difficult decision to either blow the team up all over again or pump more money into the ballclub, it can be a guarantee that Toronto won’t go out and support an expensive loser, so the Jays best option would be to turn it around soon.

Anything can happen over a long season, but so far it isn’t good.

Breathtaking goals and a world class atmosphere in the stands, it is hard not to love.

Lastly it wouldn’t be a column without writing about the Toronto Blue Jays recent struggles.

After attempting to be the voice of reason in last week’s column I must admit it might be time to worry at the SkyDome.

With the Jays offseason acquisitions in the rotation getting shelled nearly every outing it might just be that the Jays fell into the trap of buying players that didn’t work out for the Miami Marlins last season for a reason.

R.A. Dickey is getting lit up by batters in every outing and it looks like his knuckleball may not be dancing enough these days to have an effective season in the much tougher Ameri-

Yorkton Storm Swim Club continues outstanding season

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

After a stellar performance at the 2012 Saskatchewan Games and fall schedule, the Yorkton Storm Swim Club continued their season with a medal haul at the Saskatchewan “A” Provincials in Prince Albert and with Jennifer Haczkewicz competing at the prestigious Man-Sask swim meet.

At the Man-Sask meet the Yorkton Swim Club only had one swimmer in Jennifer Haczkewicz in the event that despite being the Man-Sask meet attracts some of the best youth swimmers from Alberta as well as Western Ontario.

While Jennifer did not medal in any of the events, the experience of swimming at the elite level is what was the reward for her hard work in the pool. “The swimmers from the other three provinces are really quick,” Jennifer went on to add, “it is great to see where us Saskatchewan kids stack up.” In all of her events she was in the top five swimmers

when comparing with the rest of the province. “As long as my times continue to improve, I know that my training is working,” she states. While falling short of the podium, Haczkewicz’ times are still improving, at the meet she recorded her fourth “AA” time of the season, in the 50m Backstroke.

In two of her events the 50m Freestyle and 50m Butterfly her “AA” times are fast enough to qualify her to compete in the event again next year as a 14 year old. “Having qualified for the meet next year already takes a lot of the pressure off of me, so now I can just concentrate on technique and getting faster,” says Jennifer.

In Prince Albert the YSSC posted a stunning 15 medals on the weekend while having a record number of Yorkton swimmers at the event. We had 11 YSSC swimmers attend the meet,” said head coach Ashley Benko, “the most we have ever sent to the meet.” This is such an impressive number because once girls reach the age of 11 and boys reach

the age of 12 they have to qualify for the meet by posting an “A” time.

In the boys divisions the YSSC posted just one bronze medal as Enrico Bijman brought home a bronze medal in the 50m breaststroke. Our boys have been working hard this winter and their results are starting to show,” says Benko.

She adds, “Bijman is the first boy to medal with our club at Provincials in at least four years.”

The remainder of the club’s medals were won by four young ladies that have been putting the YSSC on the map as of late. Jayden Lang scooped up five medals at the meet, Jennifer Haczkewicz came home with four, Kelsey Haczkewicz captured three medals and Jillian Just returned home with two medals, continuing the strong provincial results the four have posted over the past months.

Lang, who hails from Melville won gold in the 50m Fly narrowly missing a “AA” time by one second, silver in the 50m Backstroke as well

as silver in the 100m Fly, silver in the 200m Individual Medley (IM), and a bronze in the 50m Freestyle.

Jennifer Haczkewicz won two gold medals, one in the 50m Backstroke, and the second one was from the 100 IM where she swam a “AA” time en route to winning the event. She also won a silver in the 100m Free and a bronze in the 100m Backstroke.

Her sister Kelsey Haczkewicz snagged the gold medal in the 50m Freestyle, swimming the event in 32.35 seconds, just 0.33 seconds off of a “AA” time. In winning the event she defended the provincial title that she won in the 50m Free at the Saskatchewan Summer Games in Meadow Lake this past summer. She followed up the gold medal performance with a silver in the 50m Breastroke and 100m IM. Jillian Just wrapped up the YSSC’s weekend medal haul by winning a silver medal in the 100m Breaststroke and followed that up with a bronze medal in the 200m Breaststroke to

give the club 15 medals to end the short course season, now they will focus on the long course season something that will pose problems as the Gallagher Centre facility only has a 25m pool as opposed to the 50m long course pool.

Benko says she was proud of her girls as Lang and the Haczkewicz’ sisters are all 13 year olds in the 13/14 age group, making their dominance in the pool that much more impressive seeing as the girls have one less year of training than their compeition.

Next YSSC action is in Saskatoon the third week in April when they compete at a meet hosted by the Saskatoon Lazers. This will be the first long course meet of the season for the club and it’s swimmers. The season will wind down in June with the Long-Course “A” Provincial Meet being hosted in Moose Jaw. Swimmers that post “AA” times during the Long-Course season will qualify to swim at the ManSask Meet that will be hosted by Winnipeg in July.

Celebrating 130 Years of Bringing Family & Friends Together 1930 - 1939

The Lean Years

Donna Taylor ~author~

The thirties were a particularly difficult time on the Prairies, and it was no exception for the Yorkton Exhibition Association and those associated with it. In 1931 the Association sent committees to see Yorkton City Council and the Council of the RM of Orkney to see if they could increase their grants to the amounts given the year before.

By September of 1931, the Association was in an overdraft position with the Canadian Bank of Commerce in the amount of $322.35, with $333.55 still outstanding in cheques for prize money from the summer fair. The bank agreed to honour those cheques, but no others. As temporary assistance, the Bank of Montreal loaned the Association $700 in order that the good name of the Association might be maintained.

In 1932 the Dominion grant had been reduced to $1500, whereas it had been $2500 fifteen years earlier. The prize monies awarded in 1933 were the lowest in the history of the Yorkton Exhibition, and Mr. W.T. Moore was given a contract at the price of $1375 to operate the concessions and grandstand because the Board was in no position to financially stand a loss on the fair. The Association was still waiting in October of 1939 to release prize money cheques for that summer’s fair, pending the receipt of government grants or other monies.

Admission prices were set on an annual basis, but generally children were 25¢ and adults 50¢. 1932 records the first mention of a lower price for tickets purchased in advance, with three adult tickets going for $1. That year, no doubt because of the generally economic situation, each adult ticket admitted one adult and one child under twelve.

A couple of fairs in this decade saw free admission to the grounds, with only a charge for the grandstand.

The United Distributors Company proposed a Wheatstake as a fundraiser for the Association in 1936. It was a great success, with $2157.22 realized as net revenue, shared between the United Distributors Company and the Association. The following year another stake was considered, but with cars, radios, washing machines and cash instead of wheat as the prizes. The Attorney General of Saskatchewan advised that he considered such to be a lottery contrary to the Criminal Code, and the idea was dropped.

Later that year the Yorkton Hockey Club proposed the sale of Booster tickets on a car, with the proceeds to be split between the two organizations. In the end, the venture lost $252.50, and the Exhibition Association agreed to cover the Hockey Clubs indebtedness in this regard, and pay them an additional $50 for their efforts. Although it was not a money maker on its face, the Board believed the draw had improved attendance at the fair on draw date. The following year, the Association arranged with a Mr. George Hamilton to distribute 20,000 books of tickets, to be sold at 25¢ each on draws for a car each day of the fair -- a Ford on Monday, a Chevrolet on Tuesday and a Plymouth on Wednesday. Mr. Hamilton received 22.5% of the total sales for his efforts.

John E. Hartwig of Helene, Montana, who brought Yorkton its first rodeo in 1934.

Arrangements for the midway were generally made through the Western Canada Fairs Association. In 1930 a circuit of 12 fairs was formed as Class B1 Fairs, with a set schedule of dates for those fairs, saving the Board the trouble and waste of time of setting the dates annually. The midway booked for the B1 circuit in 1932 was cancelled because a reduction in provincial grants by the governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta caused some on the circuit to back out. The Board considered cancelling Yorkton’s fair as well, but in the end decided to proceed and simply book a midway on their own.

The 1931 midway consisted of 6 rides and 10 shows, which is the first specific description in the Association’s minutes of the fair’s midway. Entertainment at the fair in 1932 included Ukrainian Dancers and a Ukrainian Choir.

The 1939 fair included an act called ‘Lynch’s Death Dodgers’ as one of the attractions.

Following the 1938 fair, the Association decided to leave the B circuit of the Western Canada Fairs Association and form a circuit known as the Canadian Midwest Fairs Association. The new circuit included Yorkton, Moose Jaw, Lethbridge and Prince Albert, with each agreeing to hold a four day fair and spend $4000 for attractions. The new arrangement apparently didn’t work very well, and by the fall of 1939, the Association was requesting membership in the B circuit of the WCFA once again.

Yorkton held its first Rodeo in 1934, with John E. Hartwig of Helena, Montana being contracted for the Rodeo at the price of $2,500 plus 10% of the grandstand receipts at the three afternoon performances. The 1936 Rodeo engaged the services of Mr. Guy Weadick of High River, Alberta at a cost of $4,000. The Board was advised prior to the 1937 Rodeo that it was customary to give the winning cowboy in each event a trophy. Mr. Frank Brunner Sr, Irwin Borget of the Blackstone Hotel, R.F. Lake, Cyril Malone of Regina, and the Honourable J.G. Gardiner of Ottawa paid for watches to give to the cowboys. The Directors of the Association each contributed one dollar in order that the Association could present a watch as well.

Perhaps because of the financial situation, or perhaps because so much work had been done in previous years,

very little work was done on the building and grounds during the thirties. In 1934 the Board agreed to put flooring down in the Dining Hall at a cost of no more than $650, but that was conditional on Kelly Cohon & Co. entering an agreement to lease the building for one year at the price of $360 for the purpose of holding dances therein.

The roofs of the Industrial Building, the Ladies Building and the Dining Hall (also known as ‘Danceland’) were leaking by mid-decade, so in fall of 1936 the American Oil and Paint Co. was engaged at a cost of $400 to treat the three roofs. The contract was made on the basis that the account would be carried until after the 1937 fair, but because the work was not yet complete, nor had the problems been rectified, payment had still not be made at the close of that year.

1930 was the first year in which the Yorkton Association sent a team of boys to attend the Judging Competition at Saskatoon and the Livestock Convention at Moose Jaw. The six applicants attended several lectures and had two practical judging tests the three with the highest standing were sent to Moose Jaw. The preparation they received was clearly first class, as the Yorkton team stood 5th in a class of 53. The remaining three boys were given lectures and lesson in grain judging and weed seed identification to prepare for the competition in Saskatoon. That team managed to place 12th in a class of 24.

In 1932 a Boys and Girls Baby Beef club was formed, with Richard Buckle serving as its first leader. 1937 saw Yorkton host its first Farm Girls Camp.

Junior directors were considered in 1932 and 1933, but 1934’s minutes record the first Board appointed junior directors -- Horses: Joe Oshmak and Dave Tulloch, Cattle:William Wilkinson and Lawrence Claughton, Sheep and Swine: Bud Norman, Norman McKinnon, Harvey Wood and William Burkell, Domestic - Hugh Patrick, Earle Park and Lindsay Capling, Industrial Building: George Brass and Jack Lehman, Grandstand: Patrick Naphin Jr. and Joe Kryski.

In 1938 the Board acceded to a request by the Canadian Legion to hold a Veterans’ Day at the Fair - members from surrounding branches were invited to stage a parade, and those who took part received free admission to the grandstand on the day of the parade.

Liability for injuries of those attending and participating in the fair became an issue in this decade, with suitable insurance eventually being obtained.

Although the records don’t disclose what position was taken on the matter, in 1931 an account was received from Queen Victoria Hospital for services rendered to a rider injured during the horse races.

And at the annual meeting of 1936, a forward thinking shareholder of the Association made a motion that the next year’s meeting be provided with a statement of revenue and expenditures, instead of the usual statement of receipts and payments (which merely showed what monies had gone in and out - not the debts owed to and by the Association). The motion was defeated.

Terriers fall just short of huge road wins in Humboldt Cont. from Page 11

A fast paced and physical first period saw the Terriers get a wealth of chances as Tayler Thompson got the periods best scoring chance after some nifty stickwork showed off Thompson’s world class hands before Hrynkiw made a stellar save in what would be the story of the first period. With the officials letting nearly everything go to start the game both teams had very little space to generate much quality scoring chances in the opening twenty minutes.

In the second period the refs finally started blowing the whistle as the Terriers were given three powerplays in the opening half of the second period as two David Stumborg penalties led to Terriers goals to make it 2-0. Patrick Martens scored his ninth of the playoffs off a nice feed from Dakota Odgers to find Martens open in the slot in front of the goal where he would make no mistake. Odgers would then tip in a Chase Norrish wrist shot from the blueline to beat Hrynkiw for the second goal of the period, giving Odgers three goals since his SJHL Playoff debut in Game Five against Melville. The Broncos would get on the board on the powerplay themselves in the second period as a nifty pass from the crease by Hrynkiw caught the Terriers penalty kill on a line change before Joey Davies shot sneaked just past Dawson MacAuley for his 13th goal of the playoffs.

Patrick Martens once again came up big for the Terriers to start the third, scoring on a rebound just 28 seconds into the third period for the eventually game winning goal. Humboldt made things interesting in the final five minutes after Ryan Aubertin’s goal, but MacAuley stood his ground and the Terriers escaped with a 3-2 win.

Dear Barry, The 101st Grey Cup Festival Committee is pleased to learn that the city of Yorkton is officially declaring April 20th-27th, 2013 as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yorktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kick-Off to Grey Cupâ&#x20AC;? week.

In addition to extending beyond Regina, Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 101st Grey Cup Festival also extends beyond the traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;Festivalâ&#x20AC;? week. November 2012 marked the launch of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebration in Rider Nationâ&#x20AC;? logo and preliminary plans and since the, the enthusiasm & excitement has been spreading!

The 101st Grey Cup Festival Committee is committed to ensure that Saskatchewan feels the extraordinary experience through a variety of engagement endeavours designed to celebrate the excitement in our homes, schools, neighborhoods & beyond. Our celebration plans are in full swing and we look forward to unveiling a number of exciting opportunities, including a significant legacy initiative designed specifically for our cities, towns & communities to shout their pride, in hopes of creating a lasting 101st Grey Cup Festival imprint.

In the coming months, we look forward to Saskatchewan cities & towns hosting their own celebrations and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your festivities.

If possible, please pass along any photos, stories or memorable moments of your kick-off week and we will be sure to share Yorktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 101st Grey Cup Festival spirit with the rest of Rider Nation!
