Protecting Canada’s economic future Garry Breitkreuz, Member of Parliament for Yorkton-Melville, is commending the federal government on what he says is a responsible balanced budget. “This budget brings a unity between responsible spending in areas of importance to Canadians, like health care,” says Breitkreuz, “and measures which will protect the interest of us all well into future generations.” The budget, entitled Economic Action Plan 2012, has a focus on job creation, growth and long-term prosperity. Keeping taxes low and returning Canada to balanced budgets over the medium term is good news for Saskatchewan. “I was particularly pleased to see our government’s continued commitment to health and social transfers to our provinces,” adds Breitkreuz. “For Saskatchewan this will mean major transfers will total close to $1.3 billion in 2012-13.” The long-term growing support
“... we’re moving forward with a positive plan to bolster the longterm economic growth of Saskatchewan and all of Canada.” – MP Garry Breitkreuz on the federal budget made in the form of the federal transfer to the provinces helps ensure that Saskatchewan has the resources required to provide essential public services, and contributes to shared national objectives, including health care, post-secondary education and other key components of Canada’s social programs. • $909 million through the Canada Health Transfer, an increase of $214 million since 2005-06. • $365 million through the Canada Social Transfer, an increase of

Saskatchewan will also benefit from continued direct targeted support in 2012-13, including: • $14 million for labour market training as part of a commitment of $500 million a year in new funding to provinces and territories, beginning in 2008-09. • $8 million for the Wait Times Reduction Fund as part of the 10year Plan to Strengthen Health Care. “Through Economic Action Plan 2012, we have laid out our vision for a continued strong, stable economy,” states Breitkreuz, “the kind of economy that keeps us emerging as a world leader through the global economic crisis. “We are eliminating government waste, putting forward incentives and assistance for job creation and innovation, and we’re moving forward with a positive plan to bolster the long-term economic growth of Saskatchewan and all of Canada.”

A penny saved is a penny earned – local Habitat effort
Have a penny give a penny. It adds up. Yorkton’s Habitat for Humanity organization has set a goal to collect ten million pennies to build a home for another deserving family in the city. Ten million pennies equates to $100,000 – this is what it will cost to build the fourth home for a Yorkton family. Laurie Renton, Fundraising Chair for Habitat Yorkton says, “The idea came as a result of the federal government announcement that the penny will not be in production as of this fall. Jim Flaherty, Canada’s Finance Minister himself said for people to donate their pennies to charity.”

Cuts to Saskatchewan’s arts and culture sector are reaching beyond the film industry. Heritage institutions – which include the local Western Development Museum – have reported they are also been adversely affected. As a result of a zero percent increase in its annual budget allocation from the provincial government, the Western Development Museum’s (WDM) four exhibit locations at Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Saskatoon and Yorkton will be closed Mondays in an effort to maintain a balanced

budget. After discussion between the WDM Board of Directors and Joan Champ, the Museum’s Executive Director, it was decided that, due to the lack of increase in the WDM’s annual operating grant from the province, the Monday closures will be effective immediately. The Museum had requested an increase in its budget allocation from the province to keep pace with inflationary costs.

Think Pink! Put an end to bullying It’s a shame in this day and age that a topic like this still has rise to the forefront. But it does, and sadly it affects many lives in a negative way. Joining the ranks of many in the province, the Government of Saskatchewan has officially proclaimed the week of March 30 to April 5 as Pink Revolution Anti-bullying Week. The Ministry of Education says it is demonstrating its support for anti-discrimination efforts with a focus on events and initiatives coinciding with this officially proclaimed week. Pink Revolution is a new Saskatchewanmade event intended to promote diversity, prevent bullying, and take action to make our world a safer place. Organizers say when you get involved and wear pink, you spread the message that bullying, violence, and discrimination are not okay! Pink Revolution Week kicked off in Saskatoon on March 12 and had a subsequent flag raising ceremony on April 1. This Saskatchewan made event was coordinated by the Anti-bullying Network, which is comprised of the Boys and Girls Club, The Avenue Community Centre, Youth Launch, Restorative Action Program, Saskatoon Police Service, Affinity Credit Union, and various local school divisions. Ministry officials attended both the launch and the flag raising to offer greetings and show support. Pink Shirt Day co-ordinated through Red Cross is another initiative that is supported by the ministry and by the Government of Saskatchewan. “These events are opportunities for communities and individuals to come together for one common goal: to celebrate diversity and to stand against discrimination,” Education Minister Donna Harpauer says. “The Government of Saskatchewan believes that all students have the right to a caring, respectful and safe school environment where bullying is not tolerated.” And that’s a goal we should all strive for. When the week has come and gone and we’re not sporting the color of the theme we can all still “think pink” and do our part to stop bullying. Together we can create a safer Saskatchewan, one that’s inclusive to all and the best place to call home. Pink is where it’s at!
Tax me I’m wealthy – sounds like a plan If they want to pay it, who are we to stop them? At the very least, make it a voluntary tax then. A group of Canadian doctors – who at present number around 50 and call themselves ‘Doctors for Fair Taxation’ – is calling on federal and provincial governments to raise income taxes levied on high-income Canadians. They’re so set on the idea that they’ve launched a campaign to get support calling it – “Tax us. Canada’s worth it.” The docs are proposing new surtaxes that would tax any income over $100,000. It would mean people who earn between $100,000 and $170,000 would pay an extra one per cent on the income between those two figures and income between $170,000 and $640,000 would be subject to an extra two per cent levy. Income over $640,000 and less than $1.85 million would be hit with an additional three per cent and income over $1.85 million would be subject to an additional surtax of six per cent. The group estimates that the federal government would earn an extra $3.5 billion a year. That’s a lot of money for the coffers and really, if you’re making over a million a year would you really miss a measly six per cent? If you’re upwards of
$100,000, what’s one per cent off the top? Maybe I’d feel differently if it were me in that tax bracket, but I’d be willing to chance it and see how it felt if I ever got that kind of a pay hike! “Our group considers higher taxes a small price to pay Shannon Deveau for a more civilized Canada,” says Dr. Michael Rachlis, a public health physician and associate professor at the University of Toronto. “We’re becoming a more economically unequal society and we feel this is bad for our country’s health.” Rachlis also says the goal of the campaign is to get Canadians who would be paying the higher taxes to indicate their willingness, saying the organizers feel it would carry more weight that way. “We feel that this is a moral argument. We cannot talk about throwing people out of work and cutting needed programs for people... If the situation is that dire that governments are really feeling that that should be done, it seems to me that the only way to think of that is to tax higher-income earners who’ve seen their taxes fall a lot.” Here, here. If the average Joe is struggling to make ends meet and we have a group of high rollers ready and willing to help balance the scales, then by all means, let’s hear what they have to say!
The way I see it... Column
An elaborate trick to get seniors to the doctor The Canadian Medical Association Journal has been advocating a graduated licensing system for seniors. The proposed system, much like current licensing system for teenagers and new drivers, would set restrictions on when and where seniors could drive, like restricting night driving, or driving on certain highways. Seniors with a doctor’s approval would be able to avoid the system. Naturally, there are elderly people who shouldn’t be able to drive. The man I saw driving the wrong way down Smith Street this winter probably should give up his license, as should all of those people who drive their age on the highway, folks in their 80s going 80km/h when the rest of the world is going the speed limit like maniacs. Those drivers are, naturally, unsafe, and should have their license either revoked or at least limited. That’s fine, but the problem most seniors will inevitably have with this system is that most seniors, are perfectly fine. They drive just as safe as anyone else, and there is no reason to take away their license just because some other people in their age group can’t manage to safely pilot a vehicle. Teenagers probably know this feeling, but seniors have also been driving for decades, and are more likely to know what they’re doing.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger In effect, the proposal would serve to just annoy the majority of seniors, which is why it would never be implemented. That’s fine, but I think that it should be put into force, and not because I think the majority of seniors actually need to be pulled off the road. No, the reason why I would argue in favor of the system is only tangentially related to driving, and that has to do with the doctor’s note. Knowing more than one elderly couple where one half struggles to get their partner to the doctor, I think this is a great way to ensure that seniors actually get regular medical checkups. Since this is the age when people have increasing number of medical problems, it makes sure they can’t avoid doc-
tors. Take those people mentioned earlier, driving down the wrong lanes or very slowly. If it’s because they’re having problems with their vision, it would explain the problem. If the drivers of those cars is simply putting off a trip to their local optometrist, proposed driving limitations could provide the kick in the pants needed to actually get their vision checked. In that case, they might be able to a solution to help them see better overall. While the majority of seniors wouldn’t have to worry about losing their license, it is a good idea for them to regularly visit the doctor to check other things. While the individuals might be fine with avoiding the doctor, their spouses and children would disagree with them. Since they might have difficulty on their own getting their loved one to actually visit a physician, a legal reason is a major help. It’s an elaborate system to catch out a relative minority, but it is also a way to keep people healthy overall. The reason I like the idea has very little to do with driving, but because I know many people that age who need to go to the doctors and avoid it. While I’m sure some would argue that they shouldn’t be forced, when you care about someone you want to keep them as healthy as possible, whether they like it or not.

Silence about sex-selective abortion
Canadian Ag. industry for sale
To the Editor: According to recent news reports, the practice of sex-selective abortion, widespread in cultures where sons are preferred over daughters, may be creeping into Canada. Why, then, don’t we hear more questions being asked about our own boy-to-girl baby ratio and the issue of sex-selective abortion? When a woman chooses to terminate her pregnancy solely because the fetus is female – a common practice in India and China – her abortion is said to be “sex-selective.” Gender ratio can also be affected by infanticide and sex-selective fertility treatments. The top end of the normal boy-girl ratio is 105 boys to every 100 girls, but in 2009 Canada had 105.4 male births to every 100 females. That may look like a small difference, but consider this: Surrey, B.C., with a large South Asian population, had a gap of 109 boys for every 100 girls in 2006. Polls indicate that Canadians overall prefer sons and daughters in roughly equal numbers. Demographic data showing more boys than girls born is more disturbing in this context. But even if the gender imbalance caused by sex-selective abortion in Canada is not at the scale of, for example, India. Canadian women – guaranteed access to safe, legal abortion, although access is still limited in
some communities – no longer have to choose between a back-alley, often dangerous, abortion or bearing a child they do not want. Given that over 90 per cent of Canadians support some form of abortion access, our public policy problem isn’t the availability of abortion per se, but sex selection. How then do we cope with this issue? Differential treatment according to cultural background? As only some sub-cultures exhibit a strong social preference for boys, one possibility would be to require women of, say, Filipino or Indian descent to provide an “acceptable” reason for seeking an abortion. Canada, however, is devoted to treating people as individuals, not as merely members of a group with uniform traditions. Besides, all a woman asked for a reason has to do is lie. This kind of discrimination is not the solution. Delay release of information on gender? Although women in Canada are legally entitled to seek an abortion at any point for any reason, in practice abortions in the late stages of pregnancy almost never happen, as physicians refuse to perform them. A recent editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal advocates release of fetal gender information at 30 weeks gestation or later, similar to a proposal a year earlier in an obstetrics journal. This proposal might look promising to curb sex-selective abortion, but complications immediately arise. For one thing, a woman has
a legal right in Canada to her personal health information. This may imply an immediate right to know the sex of the fetus, a point raised by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. For another, requiring certain reasons for an abortion may well violate women’s right to privacy, which the Supreme Court of Canada noted in its 1988 decision which declared unconstitutional the law that had severely restricted access to the procedure. Besides, the proposal to withhold gender information for a time ignores the reality of at-home testing using mail order kits. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported in August 2011 that non-invasive prenatal sex tests now can be performed reliably as early as seven weeks gestation. Is education the answer? This approach could be successful; Korean women’s rights groups succeeded in reversing the trend of aborting girls through a two decade public education campaign. We must ask, however, if longterm education campaigns are the best course of action in Canada. Is it ethically acceptable to wait 20 years for public awareness efforts to stem the loss of our girl babies? Isn’t it time to talk about the social consequences of sex-selective abortion and a skewed gender ratio? Heather MacIntosh, Troy Media Corporation.
Checking the record – testing credibility To the Editor: Last week’s federal budget liquidated 19,000 jobs. It gutted environmental protection procedures, reducing them to meaningless rubber-stamps. It down-loaded federal responsibilities onto Provinces. And it sharply reduced future old-age pensions for everyone under the age of 54. Conservative Finance Minister Flaherty says all this is good for Canadians. Can you believe him? Examine his record: Before coming to Ottawa, Mr. Flaherty was a Minister in the rightwing provincial governments of Mike Harris and
Ernie Eaves in Ontario. (So were Tony Clement and John Baird). They left that province with a $6-billion debt and environmental travesties like Walkerton’s water. Later, campaigning for election federally, Mr. Flaherty pledged NEVER to tax retirement savings in “Income Trusts”. But once in power, he imposed a brutal 31.5 per cent Conservative tax-on-trusts, slashing the savings of two million Canadians by $25-billion. He increased federal spending by three-times the rate of inflation, while eliminating all contingency reserves and prudence factors that previously
protected Canada against adverse global risks. Less than three years after inheriting (from Liberals) a strong, job-generating economy, consistently balanced budgets and annual surpluses of $13-billion, Mr. Flaherty put Canada back into deficit -- BEFORE there was any recession to blame. He failed to see that recession coming in late 2008, though it was obvious to the rest of the world. And once it arrived, he wrongly prescribed severe cutbacks as the remedy, and foolishly predicted four more surplus budgets. Then a month later, he reversed himself, usher-
ing in a helter-skelter spending spree, the biggest annual deficits and the highest federal debt in Canadian history. He concocted perverse EI rules to increase jobkilling payroll taxes exactly when unemployment is worsening. He designed tax “credits” to favour only those who are better off – deliberately discriminating against low-income families. On his watch, income inequality has deepened and the middle-class has stagnated. Not a legacy to inspire confidence! Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.
You must work hard and believe in yourself To the Editor: In today’s life you will have many decisions to make in order to start a future. We all want to succeed, have our personal needs looked after and meet up with the expectations we place on ourselves. But sometimes, as human beings, when we try to make an important decision that will help develop our future and fulfill our goals, the motivation isn’t there, or your emotions are damaged. You may fear change, goals can be overwhelming.
When you have to make an important decision sometimes our circuits get overloaded, our brains confused and our bodies become stressed, we turn to our defense mechanisms. We may procrastinate, repress or rationalize. The problem with defense mechanisms is we don’t deal with the problem, we just make it worse, or we pretend it doesn’t exist. That never gets you to the root of the problem and it’s a slim chance you can overcome. You have to ask yourself how to aim your goal. What steps will you take to achieve your goals? If you
need help, how can you overcome your fears and deal with your problems? What will you do if things don’t go as planned? How will you fix things? Once you achieve your goals, counter your fears and believe in yourself. Try not to be your own worse critic. One day you will find the life you’ve always wanted and reap the rewards of your hard labor. All you have to do is work hard and believe in yourself. Stacie McLeod, Yorkton, SK.
A fair trade Easter would be a positive step To the Editor: Canadians often contribute to the better well-being of other people in the world. This was true with the fair trade coffee and is more and more true with other fair trade consumer goods, such as chocolate. The purchase of fair
trade certified products has important consequences. It allows many producers to receive reasonable prices for their products and numerous workers and little producers to climb out of poverty. It also has positive impacts on the environment. We believe that about 15,000 slave children
works on farms and cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast, which supplies 35 per cent of the world’s cocoa. In Western Africa, they are 300,000 children under 14 working on such plantations, doing hard and dangerous labour. Overall, 14 billion workers live from cocoa plantations, several of them earn-
ing around 300 $US per year for their work and production. I feel we should all work towards a world where solidarity is at the heart of economic development. A fair trade Easter is an immense step in this direction. Bruno Marquis Gatineau, QC.
To the Editor: It was very funny to hear the Prime Minister of Canada imply that the takeover of Viterra by Glencore, already the world’s No. 1 commodities trader, should not be viewed as “not primarily foreign.” Perhaps geography is not the Prime Minister’s strong suit, but his remarks show he did not do the math either. This $6.1 billion deal will potentially see Glencore sell $1.8 billion of Viterra’s assets to Agrium and Canada’s Richardson International gets $.8 billion of Viterra’s elevators and other assets. These sales may or may not happen after Glencore owns Viterra. In any case if all the sales go through, 58 per cent of Viterra will be in the hands of a Swiss company. So if we take Harper at his word, it looks like Canada is just a province of Switzerland in mind. Decisions affecting Canadian farmers will now be made in a boardroom in Switzerland! Hooray for Market Freedom! When one looks at Agrium, it may have a head office in Canada but by any standard it is a multinational company. The purely Canadian interest from the Viterra sale will be approximately 13 per cent. Hooray for Market Freedom! It is ironic that the farmers of the prairies built the prairie pools and united grain growers to combat the predatory grain and commodity traders and now they have been purchased by the very companies they were intended to counter. All in the name of Market Freedom! It is no coincidence that the demise of the CWB’s single desk has unleashed this buying spree from transnationals who want to come into Canada and make their money off the backs of farmers. The CWB provided fair market access for all producers and levelled the playing field. The transnationals are acting on the fact that will not be the case now and they have a new opportunity to take money from farmers. Of course the Prime Minister will support the sale as he was the major force behind the legislation which removed the farmers’ elected directors from the CWB, seized farmers’ assets, and ensured the single desk was removed. He wanted farmers to go toe to toe with the multinational grain trade while proclaiming at the top of his lungs market freedom was here. The collateral damage was that the Canadian grain trade would be for sale in Canada. With the consolidation in the grain and fertilizer industry increasing and with more sales to come I hope farmers remember who gave them the freedom to compete against other Canadian farmers in driving their own prices down so they could have the freedom to deal with two or three multinational commodity traders! Kyle Korneychuk, Pelly, SK.

New Horizons for Seniors
BUDGET TALK – Saskatchewan Finance Minister Ken Krawetz was in Yorkton last week to speak about the recently tabled provincial budget. He talked about the reasons behind the decisions in the budget, and how the overall theme, “Keeping the Saskatchewan Advantage,” worked in relation to the different things introduced within the budget. “We believe Saskatchewan does have an advantage. We believe we have an advantage over other provinces, and we have an advantage in North America that we are very proud of,” he says. Krawetz also spoke of the importance of balanced budgets in a world where many nations are running into trouble with massive deficits.

Since 2004, through an annual benefit program called New Horizons for Seniors, our government has helped Canada’s seniors share their lives, abundant knowledge, skills and experiences with others. New Horizons for Seniors is a federal grants and contributions program that supports numerous seniorled or inspired projects. Those projects vary widely. Many existing seniors’ groups apply for assistance in making renovations and updates to their buildings, but each year program administrators process applications for new projects creatively presented and planned to enrich seniors and the communities they live in. New Horizon administrators recently held an information session in Yorkton, where my staff was pleased to connect with people representing several seniors’ organizations in the riding. Some came with plans to apply for the program for the first time; others had already benefitted from it, and hope to do so again. Community-based projects are eligible to receive up to $25,000 in grant funding per year. Across Canada, some of the projects this valuable program has already funded have helped seniors: • learn computer
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz skills; • link virtually with a sister senior’s organization abroad; • develop urban gardens; • share the gift of music with youth and their peers; and learn archery. Other approved projects have helped seniors: • educate peers about elder abuse; • preserve their native language; • tell stories from the past to school children; • create ethnic cookbooks; • and speak to groups of new retirees and those close to retirement about volunteerism. It’s worth noting that the more closely an organization aligns their goals with regional priorities, and the goals outlined by the program, the greater their chances of a successful application. Those goals are: 1. promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations; 2. engaging seniors in the community
through the mentoring of others; 3. expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse; 4. supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors; and 5. providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors. Providing their projects fit the program objectives and involve seniors in meaningful ways, other organizations may apply for New Horizons grants and contributions. A list of eligible organizations is found on the New Horizons website. Only one call for proposals is planned for 2012. Keep watch for that date, expected this spring. Learn how to apply for funding and other details atwww. hrsdc.gc.ca/seniors. You may also call 1-306-5645419 or 306-564-5417.

Embracing Easter and a new spring season With the arrival of spring we see notable differences to the environment. New signs of spring are all over; new birds, new growth, new life! This may be the first spring you have observed since the death of your loved one. It may be especially difficult to watch the first tulips or daffodils unfold without that special person. You always enjoyed the first signs of spring together, and this year they are not here to enjoy that with you. Easter brings joy and excitement for many people. Others find it difficult to face the day without their loved ones. As Easter approaches, your feelings of grief may be intensified. You may be feeling anger, loneliness, sadness, depression, guilt and other feelings which you felt closer to the death of your loved one. While nothing can ever take away the hurt you feel, these tips may help you cope with the Easter season. Evaluate family traditions: There is no right way or wrong way to handle the day. Some people prefer to follow family traditions, while others decide to change them. It may help to do things a little differently this year. Remember, what you choose to do this year can always be changed again next year. Family gatherings may be extremely difficult. Be honest with each other about your feelings. Sit down and decide what you want to do for the holidays. Don’t set expectations to high for yourself or other family members. This year you can celebrate Easter – You have the ability to make it special in spite of your loss. Children also need to be part of the planning: Include the children in the discussion about the
FROM MOURNING TO JOY... Column by Margaret Anne Yost holidays. Ask them what they would want or don’t want. Encourage children to express their feelings. It is important that adults listen to what children are saying – so encourage conversation with your children. Caring for yourself: Holidays can be very tiring. Get plenty of rest – you will need every bit of strength. Don’t set expectations too high or overextend yourself. Remember your needs are important. Don’t put all your energy into looking after others. Make time for yourself this Easter. You will need quiet time to rest and reflect. Embrace your memories: memories of your loved one are very precious. Share your memories with your family and friends. Reach out to others. Identify friends and family who understand your loss and can provide support and comfort. Talk to them. Let them know how you are feeling. Accept support when it is offered to you. Seek professional help: If you or your family are finding it difficult to cope with your grief, this may be a good time to seek out professional help.
Help may be found through your physician, social worker or clergy. Plan for the future: It is always good to plan ahead. Plan an event after the holidays, as it will give you something to look forward to after Easter. This need not be a big event –even simple outings can be grand events when shared with people who care about you. Although it’s difficult to see beyond your sorrows, may looking back in memory help comfort your tomorrows. Margaret Anne Yost nursed for 35 years.

Yorkton’s Young entrepreneur vies for Volta Award By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, in fact, it’s about as green as it can get, right here in Saskatchewan. That’s Justin Yawney’s belief as well as a growing number of young entrepreneurs who are opting to live, work and call Saskatchewan their home. Born and raised in Yorkton, Yawney, like many others have done, set out for Alberta in search of greener pastures. He completed his schooling at SAIT but after spending some time in the province he decided there was no place like home. This is the new Saskatchewan... In his late 20’s the call of friends, family and a higher quality of lifestyle brought Yawney back to Yorkton and he hasn’t looked back. In 2007 the young entrepreneur started up Yorkton Plumbing and Heating. Now 34, he has since turned a one man operation into a staff of about 35 with a fleet of over 29 trucks, serving Yorkton, area, and rapidly expanding into other parts of the province. “It’s been a big learn-
ing curve. That’s for sure,” he said, adding “It’s helped out we’ve got a lot of good employees we can rely on that I can be in here (his office).” Being based in Yorkton, with its amenities for staff families is an asset too. As a result Yawney says they’ve been able to attract staff back from Alberta, and from as far away as British Columbia. The rapid expansion has been something Yawney said the local economy has helped fuel, and they were ready to take advantage of the opportunity. “Obviously Yorkton and Saskatchewan has been expanding over the last four years as well, and it goes handin-hand,” he said. “… The opportunity was there and we took it …” And there’s no end in sight. The framework has been laid, the economy is on fire and with an established business taking off, Yawney’s future looks bright. So bright in fact, he’s recently captured two awards. In November of 2011 he was named Saskatchewan’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce

Helping another hard-working, low-income family get into home will be more than worth it,” adds Renton. Habitat for Humanity across Saskatchewan (Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, and Lloydminster) will also be collecting pennies for their cities with the same goal to help families get into home ownership.

Versus the Nothing returns to Yorkton
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
Versus the Nothing is a hard working band, and this year is no exception. The group is currently in the middle of their Grindstone Tour, and is getting ready to make a return trip to the studio to record a new album. They will be making a Yorkton stop on April 8. Guitarist Ande Ottae says the plan was to get one more tour in on last year’s Black Gloves EP before going back to the studio. He says they wanted to hit some new places, visit some old friends, and do a bit of road testing on new material before that trip to the studio. The band was in Yorkton last year, opening for Hinder. As the headliner this time around, Ottae explains they’ll have a bit more time and be able to better connect with their fans. “It’s more about us, and seeing what we do, rather than us playing and hopefully winning over Hinder’s fans.” The group is thrilled to be making a return trip to the city, and Ottae anticipates it being a great time for both fans and the group itself. “Yorkton’s been one of the highlights of our tour, we always have so much fun there. Our drummer Jason’s from Saskatchewan, so he loves playing Saskatchewan, it’s one of his favorite places,” he adds. Versus the Nothing is a group that’s constantly on tour, and Ottae says it’s one of the things that they love about being a band, and has been an integral part of their sound and their approach to music, and life in general. “You’re getting out there, putting
in 80 hours a week into the band, as opposed to being at home. You’re getting better as musicians, playing every night. The bond between band members is growing, you just get to feel each other out and grow as a group as opposed to individually. It’s great to make new fans, get out and see everyone, and see the fruit of your labor.” While it’s the final leg behind the Black Gloves EP, Ottae says that it’s been a great year touring behind that release. He notes that the single Killer has had a lot of positive recognition and airplay. That’s lead to more people at the shows, and Ottae says since the band takes so much pride in their live performance, it’s great to have an album bring more fans to the show. With this being the last tour before a new album, it’s also the last chance to test drive new songs before they’re recorded. Ottae says that they’re approaching the album as a way to bring that live experience home. “With this record we want to capture our live show, and get that energy into our studio album. That’s really the tough part, so this time we picked a producer that really understood us, and is like a sixth member of the band,” he explains. He says that the show will be a mix of songs that fans will be familiar with, and new material that they’re putting together for that next release. He promises the show will be something that will connect with current fans, and make new ones of people a bit more unfamiliar with the group. Versus the Nothing will be at the Army, Navy & Airforce Veterans Club with Wild Uprising on Sunday, April 8 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the all ages show will be $8.

More food companies than ever are advertising that their products are ‘made with whole grains’ or ‘multi-grain.’ It seems everything you find in the grocery aisle now contains whole grains. How do you choose what food is right for you? Grains are the seeds of plant and contain three parts: bran, endosperm and germ. All three parts contain nutrients which are good for health. Bran is the outer layer of the grain and provides fibre and some B vitamins, minerals and protein. Endosperm makes up most of the grain and provides carbohydrate and protein along with a small amount of vitamins and minerals. The germ is the smallest part of the seed and contains a large amount of B vitamins, minerals and vitamin E. Foods that have had little processing like brown rice, rolled oats and barley are whole grains and contain all three parts of the
seed. Research shows that people who eat more whole grains may have a lower risk of some heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. You will get the greatest health benefit from eating whole grains. Refined grains have the bran and the germ removed from the seed. Some examples are white rice and cream of wheat. While many refined grains in Canada, like enriched white flour, have nutrients added back in, refined grains still have less nutrients and fibre than whole grains. So what’s the difference between multi-grain and whole grain? Multi-grain products usually contain a few different grains, but they may not be whole grains. Your key to choosing whole grains in the grocery store is reading the ingredient list on food products. If whole grains are the main ingredient they will be listed as the first or second ingredient. To ensure you are getting whole grains look for the words whole grain in front of each grain name. Following are three tips to help you get
more whole grains: • Try oatmeal made from rolled oats for breakfast. • Use whole grain pasta. The nutty flavour is a tasty way to perk up your dish. • Try a grain you have never eaten such as quinoa, bulgur, barley or couscous. Our Challenge: This week compare bread labels at the grocery store and pick out the whole grain versus multi-grain. Remember, multi-grain isn’t always whole grain. You’ll get the greatest health benefits from eating whole grains.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, April 5, 2012 - Page 9A
Fraud Awareness Month: real estate scams Submitted by Saskatchewan RCMP The Commercial Crime and Fraud Sections with the Regina Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service, Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission and the RCMP have joined forces to promote March as Fraud Awareness Month to Saskatchewan residents and consumers. Public education and awareness is key in preventing and reducing the number of victims of fraud. During the fifth week of Fraud Awareness Month, the fraudulent activity to be profiled is Real Estate Investment Scams. Recently, investors who have experienced disappointing returns with traditional investments have been turning to “Real Estate” investments believing that they can provide stability, security and great returns. Often, individuals are offered the opportunity to invest
in what they believe to be the ownership of land. In many cases, what the investor actually purchases is a bond or share in a company, or a series of companies, that maybe involved in real estate development. Investors do not, in fact, hold an interest in the land. Investors may be lead to believe that their investment is secured by land and the salesperson and promotional materials often use terms such as “guaranteed”, “secured” and “risk-free”. Remember: these types of investment are not “guaranteed”, “secured” and “risk-free”. These words should serve as red flags to any potential investor. When completing the final contractual documents, the investor is required to sign a risk acknowledgment form. Investors are required to sign a risk acknowledgment form for a reason – by nature, these types of investments are risky and you could lose all of your invest-
ment. Generally, the greater the rate of return promised, the greater the risk involved. Don’t be fooled by the promise of great returns with no risk. Minimize your risk: • Be sure of your investment. Are you getting a bond, a share of the company, or an interest in land? • Do your homework. Learn all you can about the offering company. Consult unbiased resources in your research. • Look for red flags. Don’t be misled by the promise of high returns or terms such as “guaranteed” or “no risk”. • Get it in writing. The salesperson must provide you with the details of the investment in an offering memorandum. If the details of the offering document don’t match the marketing material or verbal sales pitch, or if the salesperson is unable to provide you with an offering
document; exercise extreme caution when considering the investment. • Call an expert. Prior to signing anything, review all the documents you’ve received with someone other than the salesperson, such as a trusted financial advisor, accountant or lawyer with experience in these types of investments. If you have been contacted by someone in relation to activity such as this, or have suspicion of any other fraudulent activity, please contact the Enforcement Branch of Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission at (306) 787-5645. About Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission (SFSC) protects consumer and public interests and supports economic well-being through responsive marketplace regulation. We
protect Saskatchewan consumers by regulating financial products and service providers in an effective, efficient and balanced manner. For more information on the SFSC and their regulatory responsibilities, please visit www. sfsc.gov.sk.ca. Fraud Awareness is part of a national crime prevention campaign to increase Canadians’ awareness of and knowledge about different types of fraud in order to help citizens to not become fraud victims. RCMP Saskatchewan’s “F” Division Commercial Crime Section has offices in Regina and Saskatoon. Their role is to reduce the impact of economic crime on Canadians by maintaining the integrity of our economy through public education, crime preve tion, and enforcement.

What’s happening out at Good Spirit Acres? It has been a “winter to remember”... some people were very happy with the mild weather, little snow to shovel, etc. There were others who wished it had been cooler with lots of snow for their favorite winter outdoor sports like snowmobiling, skating or cross-country skiing. (Old man winter can’t please everyone:) Regardless of the mild weather, the community thanks Bill Cripps for his tireless efforts to keep the ice at the skating rink during the winter. It really involved a lot more work this year... because of the mild weather and we really appreciate all you have done, Bill! March gave us hints of spring and hopefully the spring and summer will be long and warm. The
snow is nearly all gone from the golf course, and so I can imagine that a few people here are polishing up their golf clubs in anticipation of a long golf season. Residents of Good Spirit Acres met at the Good Spirit Recreation hall for a soup and sandwich potluck last month. The menu was so good, that recipes had to be shared. What a good idea for us all to get together and share winter news! The Hamlet Board has asked me to remind residents that the Building Bylaw for Good Spirit Acres is now in effect... which involves inspections for various stages of construction. For more information please check the RM of Good Lake Web site... at www.goodlak-
erm.com or phone their office at (306)563-5244. The date for the spring meeting of the Hamlet Board has not been finalized... but is usually held on the May long weekend. Watch next month’s newsletter for the date and time. The Good Spirit Market is gearing up for a
busy spring and summer. Come & check out their new products. Fern would like to thank her staff ... as well as the loyal residents who supported them through the winter. It was much appreciated! The Good Spirit Lake Golf Course and Restaurant will be opening May 1, 2012 . The course may
open earlier if the weather permits. Our shoulder season restaurant hours for May/June are 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 7:30 am to 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. April 9 is the deadline for the discounted price on season passes. After April 9 the cost per pass is $100 more. Good Spirit Golf Resort will be having a booth this year in the Spring Expo in Yorkton on April 13-15, if anyone would like to drop by. Steak nights at the restaurant will be on Saturday nights featuring an 8oz Canada A Rib Eye for $16.95 (5:00-8:30 p.m.)
starting on May 12. We will be hosting a Mother’s Day Brunch again this year. Reservations are recommended. 792-4615. On May 5 the Community Association is holding a fundraiser steak and chicken supper at Tapps Restaurant in Yorkton from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Tickets are $20.00 per person & can be purchased from any of the board members or at the Good Spirit Market. That’s it for this month. “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”
Saying ‘no’ to bullying: Pink Revolution
The week of March 30 to April 5 has officially been proclaimed as Pink Revolution Anti-bullying Week. The Ministry of Education is demonstrating its support for anti-discrimination efforts with a focus on events and initiatives coinciding with this officially proclaimed week. Pink Revolution Week kicked off in Saskatoon on March 12 and had a subsequent flag raising ceremony on April 1. This Saskatchewan made event was co-ordinated by the Anti-bullying Network, which is comprised of the Boys and Girls Club, The Avenue Community Centre, Youth Launch, Restorative Action Program, Saskatoon Police Service, Affinity Credit Union, and various local school divisions. Ministry officials attended both the launch and the flag raising to offer greetings and show support. Pink Shirt Day co-ordinated through Red Cross is another initiative that is supported by the ministry and by the Government of Saskatchewan.
“These events are opportunities for communities and individuals to come together for one common goal: to celebrate diversity and to stand against discrimination,” Education Minister Donna Harpauer says. “The Government of Saskatchewan believes that all students have the right to a caring, respectful and safe school environment where bullying is not tolerated.” The Ministry of Education
has supported anti-bullying efforts by working with education partners to develop a provincial anti-bullying strategy, encouraging school divisions to work with community organizations, and by providing financial assistance to programs like the Kids Help Phone to ensure youth across Saskatchewan have access to professional counselling services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It’s like shopping with the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s dietitians, who evaluate every participating product based on Canada’s Food Guide.

YRHS Sumobots battle to top place By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The whole sport of sumo wrestling may well undergo a dramatic change in the not too distant future. Seven students from the Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) may well be in the forefront of the change. The students in question recently competed in Sumobots, a provincial competition hosted by SIAST at Kelsey campus in Saskatoon. They competed with robots they had tweaked and programmed themselves, says YRHS teacher Andrew Pearce. Pearce and fellow teacher Kevin Chiasson worked with the students and accompanied them to the competition. The competition hosted about 110 competitors from around the province with their battling robots. The competition itself featured a pair of small robots, 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm each running solely on programming. “Once you start it, you can’t touch it again,” Pearce explains. The goal of the competition is to have each robot try to maneuver and push its opponent out of a ring, similar to sumo wrestling, Pearce continues. The name of the competition is “Myrobotrumble”, he points out. The robots are virtually identical because of the size and weight limits. In order to win, competitors had to program the right moves into their robots, Pearce points out. YRHS students did very well, says Pearce. Liam Pool

Rachel Machnee placed 10th in the main pool. Veronica Pinette and Gabrielle Thomson, both Grade 9 students, claimed sixth place. Bo Chiasson placed fourth. Michael Kozushka, in his first competition, won first place which earned him a $1,500 scholar-

YRHS Senior Raider boys claim bronze at Hoopla By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) Senior Raider boys participated in Hoopla, the provincial basketball championship tournament in Moose Jaw over the weekend. Head coach Jason Payne says the boys lost their opening game to Moose Jaw Central by 25 points Friday evening which dropped them to the third place game. While admittedly disappointed, the Senior Raiders rebounded from the loss to defeat Meadow Lake 63-52 to claim the provincial bronze medal. In the bronze medal game, Payne says the team stuck to basic defensive strategy which served them well all year, knocking down a few more shots than they did Friday. All year the team was led by a strong core group of Grade 12 players. “All seven of those kids have played a
lot of basketball, showed a lot of leadership and solid team play,” says Payne. The graduating players who lead the team were Nick Hotsko, Colby Melnechenko, Kostas Karachalios, Tyler Boychuk, Raegan McLelland, Stephen Hutton and Tanner Kardynal. The Raiders will see five veterans returning including the team’s two leading scorers, Payne reports. He also sees some strong players moving up from the junior ranks. “Hopefully we won’t miss a beat,” he suggests. Hoopla wrapped up the Senior Raider very busy season, Payne states. With the tournament in Nova Scotia, the Senior Raiders travelled over 10,000 km this year, he points out. “That’s a long way to go in one high school season,” Payne suggests. While the medal isn’t the preferred color, it is certainly well deserved by the team which worked very hard to win it, Paynes closes.
HOOPLA 2012 BRONZE MEDALISTS, the YRHS Senior Raider boys team included: Front row (l-r) Jake Gabel, Tyler Boychuk, Tanner Kardynal, Darien Kequahtoway, Derek Barr, Stephen Hutton, Colby Melnechenko.

Langlois and Hay perform at carnival
Cycle safely on public roads Riding a bit to the left prevents you from being a victim of the door prize. You might worry about slowing down the traffic behind you if you take the lane. But if you’re on the kind of street where you’ve got cars blocked up behind you or constantly changing lanes to get around you, you’re probably on the wrong street and should find a quieter neighborhood street. Taking the lane works especially well in most traffic circles. The traffic generally moves slower so it’s easy to keep up, riding in the lane makes you more visible to motorists, and taking the lane prevents motorists from right hooking you as they exit the circle. It’s perfectly legal for you to take the lane
By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Skate Yorkton was lucky to be able to present special guest skaters Annabelle Langlois and Cody Hay at the recent Fairytales and Dreams skate carnival. The duo, former Canadian Pairs champions, two-time Olympians, and eight time Canadian national medalists dazzled skating fans with two performances on the ice. Langlois, who retired from competitive skating after the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver and skated twice on The Battle of the Blades will return for Season 3 to give another energetic and competitive performance. Skating together since 2005, Langlois and Hay won the 2008 Canadian Pairs title and secured a berth on the Canadian Olympic team in 2010. Langlois and Hay are currently engaged to be married and plan to move to Calgary following Season 3 of The Battle of the Blades where they intend to take up coaching. Langlois says she and Hay enjoyed travelling to Yorkton for their first time. They have been to Saskatchewan many times, but their first time in Yorkton. “This is a very lovely city,” she closes. Hay thanks everyone in Yorkton and the Yorkton Skating Club for treating them so well. “Good Luck to all the kids. They’ve got a great club going here,” he closes.
when appropriate. The law says you have to ride as far to the right as is “practicable”. Here are some things that make it impracticable to ride to the extreme right: You’re in a heavy traffic area with lots of side streets, parking lots, or driveways ahead and to your right. Cars turning left won’t see you because they’re looking for traffic in the middle of the road, not on the extreme edge of the road. Move left. Cars are passing you too closely. If the lane is too narrow for cars to pass you safely, then move left and take the whole lane. Getting buzzed by cars is dangerous. Cars are parked on the right-hand side of the road. If you ride too close to these you’re gonna get doored when someone gets out of their car. Move left.
Winter season gives way to spring and summer schools Continued from Page 15.
Recreation skaters Tianna Adolph, Kerri Poole, Kathryn Blommaert and Daytona Campbell skated simply for the fun of the sport. The competitive skaters, champions in their own right, who are all on provincial teams as well as with Skate Yorkton, include Jessica Pastachak, Raegan Exner, Kailee Sawatzky and Nicki Nagy. The seven cute little piggies who didn’t have to deal with any big, bad wolf at the carnival were: Willow Kardynal, Jordis Hickie, Alyse KucherPaulmark, Kennady Sveinbjornson, Britney Kemp, Caymyn Fyck and Sarah Hodgson. A trio of beautiful lady bugs entertained the audience gliding across the ice. They were Aleeya Oloko, Kaitlin Kormos and Bree Klemetski. Junior test skaters Charis Adefolarin, Jemimah Adefolarin, Emma Berezowski, Madison Bowtell, Paige Federowich, Alexa Haider, and Camryn Mansuy glided right out of a fairytale. The six dwarfs Muizz Oloko, Emmanuel Adefolarin, Brody Zajac, Kreeo Taypotat-Tarangeau, and Joshua Lees skated onto the ice right out Snow White but without their seventh dwarf. Skate Yorkton senior Starskaters Carolyn Hauser, Emily Gage, Chloe Mrozowich, Rebecca Trost,
Madison Shearer and Kaitlyn Polegi glide across the ice in a delightful performance. The sophisticated test skaters Tadyn Martinook, Jada Maduck, Kaitlyn Klemetski and Sydney Kotzer showcased their skills and talent. Skate Yorkton head coach Susan Nagy says all performers right from guest skaters Langlois and Hay to the youngest Skate Yorkton skater put on a great show. “It all came together really well. I’m really happy,” Nagy gushes. Nagy expressed her appreciation to the Yorkton club executive. “Without them a club could not run just with a coach,” she states. She also thanks all the volunteers and parents of the young skaters who helped pull the entire show together. The carnival wraps up the Skate Yorkton winter season. The club will host a spring school which runs from April 16 to May 19. The school is open to junior

With spring in the air and summer following close on its heels, local kids from six to 60 are looking ahead to sports and recreation activities befitting the season. To kick off the warm weather activity season, the city of Yorkton hosted a registration evening for kids and adults at the Gallagher Centre last week. City of Yorkton community development manager Lisa Washington reports the event featured 21 groups represented at the registration night, offering lots of options for everyone to become involved and get active. Many of the events are starting in May, Washington notes. The Paper Bag Players, active all year long, were selling passes and promoting the theatre festival. “It’s a happening place tonight,” she quips. Sport, culture and recreation are all represented at the event, including softball and baseball, theatre, horseshoes, the Boys and Girls Club, the Cancer Society was delivering information about the Relay for Life, girl guides, army cadets, sea cadets, martial arts, pony and dressage club, KidSport, Jump Start, Yorkton Minor Football, soccer, TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), cycling and many others which are good representation of what’s happening locally, Washington states. “So when people say there is nothing to do, I challenge them that,” she declares. Washington points out that Deer Park Municipal Golf Course is offering an incredible deal, golf lessons for youth at $50. The offer includes two lessons, two rounds of golf, a skill building session and tournament. Many of these organizations are volunteer run and parents can become involved at any level. All organizations invite parental participation. “If the kids see their parents involved that just makes them feel so much more engaged,” she suggests. “There’s so much to do. People just have to take the time to look,” Washington closes.

Unless they’ve left the area and moved to someplace like Vancouver Island, prairie kids don’t often get to experience salt water or ocean sailing. One local young person, Chief Petty Officer Second Class Adam Rusnak, recently returned from the experience of sailing on the Pacific Ocean. Rusnak, a fifth year sea cadet with 114 Orkney, started as a navy league member for three and a half years. He was drawn to the water because he liked sailing and the fact that his dad was an officer with the sea cadets. After watching You Tube videos of sailing, Rusnak was smitten and simply had to try it. In order to qualify for a place at the national event, Saskatchewan cadets had to attend a qualifying regatta at Blackstrap Lake near Saskatoon for a weekend where they raced 420 class sailboats. Rusnak and his crew member placed first at the regatta. The 420 is a two person sloop rigged sailboat capable of carrying a
mail sail, jib and spinnaker. It is equipped with a trapeze for hiking out to squeeze the top speed out of the boat, Rusnak explains. The win advanced Rusnak to the training session at Victoria, B.C. where he trained along with cadets from across the country for the national regatta to be sailed in August. Salt water sailing is quite different from sailing on inland waters, Rusnak states. On inland lakes there are fewer and much smaller waves and no current. “There’s also less salt when you get splashed in the face,” he recalls. When sailing on the ocean, cadets had to contend with six or seven foot high rollers. “It’s a big difference with the waves and how you could surf on them,” Rusnak remembers. Winds are also significantly different. There are major wind shifts. In the morning the wind will blow toward the land. In the afternoon the winds will change direction 180 degrees to blow out to sea.

Wyatt named Grassroots Soccer Coach of the Year By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Local soccer player, and coach Andy Wyatt, who coaches several local teams, was accorded a singular honor recently at the Sask. Soccer season wind-up in Saskatoon recently. Wyatt, an avid fan, player and coach currently coaches an Under 6 team in the local grassroots league, an Under 6 team in the local future stars program, the Under 12 boys, a travelling competitive team, a recreational Under 12 boys’ community league team as well as helping out with the local men’s team. His commitment to
Kozushka wins robot war Con’t from Page 15. Liam Pool, a first year competitor, also liked the contest. He vows to return and do better next year now that he knows what to expect. Rachel Machnee, a second year competitor, made it to the quarter finals. “It’s just a really good experience to see all the different technology and everyone’s advances,” Machnee comments. First year competitor Gabrielle Thomson says the competition opened her eyes to electronics. She’s considering going into an electrical career in agrobotics. Veronica Pinette, also a first year competitor, says she hopes to return next year and have a better idea what to expect in the competition. Michael Kozushka beat the odds in his first year of competition. Kozushka’s robot cleaned up the opposition earning him first place overall in the event. He credits his instructors, Pearce and Chiasson, for helping him to win. He says the winning strategy was to program his robot differently from most of the others. “My robot just backed up and spun around searching for the other guy and just pushed him out of the ring,” Kozushka explains. He took about a week to prepare his robot for competition. Kozusha’s robot has a swivel blade on the front to keep it level with the playing surface. He installed an ultrasonic sensor which he believes is more reliable than the infra-red sensors on most of the other bots. Kozushka admits he was definitely lucky in first competition. He beat five opponents in the first pool, four others in the second pool. In the finals he won over two other robots to claim the overall win. He found the experience both interesting and fun. While he doesn’t consider any related career at this time, Kozushka would like to continue with robotics as a hobby.
the sport, Wyatt was nominated as Grassroots Coach of the Year, an award he received at the Sask. Soccer year end awards banquet. “It definitely feels good to be recognized by my peers and by Sask. Soccer,” Wyatt admits. “The award is a nice recognition for all the people who have helped me learn to be a coach,” he adds. Wyatt recalls playing soccer as long as he can remember, growing up in B.C. When he came to Saskatchewan, soccer wasn’t as popular in the province. “It was only indoor soccer, no outdoor soccer, if you can believe that,” he remembers. Wyatt recalls playing indoor soccer in Yorkton and remembers one of his first coaches in Yorkton was John Ryder from Sacred Heart High School. He continued playing both indoor and outdoor
soccer at university. On his return to Yorkton, Wyatt kept playing soccer and began coaching in 1999. He was player coach with the men’s team in Yorkton for many years and continues to assist to the present day. Wyatt claims to love the sport and would like to continue until they cart him off the field in a wheelchair. That said, he admits he misses more men’s games because of his attending to his coaching duties with younger players. “When there was a conflict, it used to be I would continue to play and try to find someone else to coach but now the men’s team definitely doesn’t need me anymore so now I focus on coaching the youth teams,” Wyatt says. He thanks all the coaches who’ve worked with him and helped him to learn about
coaching over the years. Adam Fetsch who nominated him for the award says Wyatt has been involved in coaching all levels of soccer locally right from the grassroots teams and up to the men. “His dedication to all levels has been outstanding and he’s been tireless in giving his effort,” says Fetsch. He nominated Wyatt for the grassroots award because that’s where the fun and dedication to the game starts, with those little ones, Fetsch suggests. Fetsch also suggests it was an easy win for Wyatt. He has done a lot to make Yorkton recognized as an important soccer community, especially now since local teams have won several gold medals at provincials this year alone. “It’s a testament to what he’s begun and done,” Fetsch closes.
LOCAL SOCCER COACH Andy Wyatt was named Grassroots Soccer Coach of the Year by Sask Soccer. Wyatt coached four boys’ team this year.

Dancing Hooves starting up a pony club if there’s interest By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer
One of the new clubs at the annual spring registration night was the Dancing Hooves Dressage Association and pony club. Dressage Association president Melanie Patton, also the district commissioner for the pony club, says the pony club is brand new, something the club is just starting up. At this stage the association is trying to determine if there is enough interest to keep it going. Dancing Hooves is currently in its eighth year of operation, says Patton.
The association has hosted sanctioned shows. As the number of riders declined over the years, Dancing Hooves has begun to ride for other organizations which hosts shows by video, Patton reports. Now, instead of paying high fees to bring a judge in, the club video tapes everybody and send the tape off to places like the international riding academy and Working equitation USA which are much bigger organizations and hire judges with more experience, Patton explains. If there’s enough interest in the pony club, which meets once a month, the club would offer a monthly group
ride and work on safe, proper riding. The club also proposes to try new disciplines like jumping, trail, working equitation and do theory work as well, Patton lists. Both English and western riding is offered. While ideally members would own their own horses, the club will offer mounts to people who don’t. Some riders rent a horse, others lease and some just borrow a mount, Patton says. There is no membership fee to belong to Dancing Hooves. Fees are charged at events entered by riders. There is, however a membership fee to belong to the Canadian Pony Club.
Neither Dancing Hooves nor the Pony Club have age restrictions. Anyone who enjoys horses and riding is welcome to join at any age within reason. The oldest member entered in a dressage competition was 88 years old. “We just offer something for everyone,” Patton says. Dancing Hooves works on the classical aspect of dressage. But the association also spreads it across all the other disciplines Patton points out, including western pleasure, hunter pleasure, show jumping, trail, cross country, and, most recently, working equitation.

Club promotes recreational cycling in Yorkton area By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer A relative newcomer to the annual registration night, the Sunrise Cycling Club is in its third season of operation. Club president Merlin Toth cofounded the club with Anne Stupak, Barry Rogers and several other people in the Yorkton area. The Sunrise Cycling Club works to promote recreational cycling in the Yorkton area, says Toth. “We’re not a competition based club at this point. We may become that at some time in the future but at this point we exist to coordinate cycling activity in the area and to offer recreational cycling,” he elaborates. Toth sits as a member of the Active Transportation Collaborative (ATC). The club and ATC share a common interest because the cycling network is part of the ATC’s mandate and the Sunrise Cycling Club makes use of that cycling network, he explains. Every Wednesday evening the club does a show and go ride. The ride starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Fifth Avenue Cup and Saucer. “Basically it’s a show and go ride. Whoever shows up goes for a ride,” Toth says. The ride length and area depends on whoever shows up, he adds. Typically the ride is anywhere from 15 to 30 km long and usually lasts one to two hours. While participants are encouraged to become members of the club and Sask. Cycling Association in order to get insurance coverage, anyone is welcome to come out to enjoy one free
ride. After that they should join both organizations, Toth states. In addition to the Wednesday rides the club will host a number of rides this summer, Toth reports. The season usually starts with a short ride out to Cherrydale Golf Club for a steak evening. Longer rides are generally built throughout the season. There will be an 80 km ride to Melville with a stop for dinner as well as a 100 km ride to Canora and back. The club will also participate in the Riding Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Challenge on September 8 and 9. The 140 km challenge starts in Dauphin Saturday morning, climbs the hills to Wasagaming where the ride stops for the night, then returns to Dauphin the next day. This year the club will also take part in the sixth annual Old Dog Run, a fund raising ride for a charitable cause in the Kamsack area. “It’s a 160 km ride. But it’s a very slow pace so anybody can do it,” Toth claims. The one limiting requirement is riders must be at least 50 years of age, hence the named Old Dog Run. Each year the Sask. Cycling Association hosts a GASP Tour (Great Annual Saskatchewan Pedal). This year that takes place the last week in July. The Gasp Tour is a bout a 600 km ride over a week long. It will start and end in Swift Current and takes in Ponteix, Val Marie, Climax, Gull Lake and that area. No one should be intimidated by the proposed program. The club will also offers leisurely, shorter rides to those who
Sea Cadets highly recommended
are just starting out. Members train to build up to the longer rides which generally fall later in the season, Toth says. The fee is $10 for the Sunrise Cycling Club and $30 for the Saskatchewan Cycling Association. The fees entitle members to club functions as well as insurance coverage while involved in any Sask. Cycling sanctioned activity or any member club function or event. Anyone who’d like more information about the club can contact Merlin Toth and leave a message at 782-0180 or they can email at sunrisecycle@ live.ca or they can visit the Sask. Cycling Association website and there will be links there under the club page to the Sunrise Cycling Club and all the other cycling clubs in the province.
ACTIVE SUNRISE CYCLING CLUB members (l-r) Anne Stupak, Merlin Toth and Wendy Zaporosky were on hand to promote the club and encourage people to join at the recent registration night.

“It was kind of difficult to navigate at times,” he notes. At Victoria, cadets were rotated through various boats and matched with various other cadets to find the best match of crew among the cadets of the prairie region which is made up of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and north western Ontario. It turned out Rusnak was finally matched with Sam Robbins of Saskatoon. He has a year and half remaining as a sea cadet. Following that, Rusnak hopes to become an officer with the sea cadets. He’d also like to continue competitive sailing should the opportunity present itself. “But, being on the prairies, it’s a little hard to find a team to train with,” he suggests. Rusnak highly recommends the sea cadet experience. “Anyone who wants to have a great time and meet new friends come on to the cadet program. You get some real good experience and you get to travel all the country for free,” he closes.

In loving memory of JASON BILOKRELI who passed away suddenly at the age of 22 on April 9, 2001 We close our eyes and remember wonder-filled days, Your spirit, your smile, all your little "ways". We close our eyes, can almost hear you speak, Even how you would wander along our creek. We close our eyes, and miss you so, Your help, your sparkle; we wish you didn't go. We close our eyes and send our love, Jay, And we know if you could, this is what you'd say: "Just close your eyes and you will see All the memories you still have of me. My family, just sit and you will find I am really still there – inside your heart and mind." Always loved, and greatly missed, Dad and mom-Harold & Rosanna Sister-Sheri Weinmaster, Kirk, Payton and Jaron Brother-Mitch, Tara & Ethan

A business improvement district (BID) is a defined area within which businesses pay an additional tax or fee in order to fund improvements within the district's boundaries. Grant funds acquired by the city for special programs and/or incentives such as tax abatements can be made available to assist businesses or to recruit new business. BIDs may go by other names, such as business improvement area (BIA), business revitalization zone (BRZ), community improvement district (CID), special services area (SSA), or special improvement district (SID). This past week we saw the Provincial Government do away with funding for the Enterprise Regions of the province. Many had anticipated the non success of the regions from the very beginning. Lots of dollars into wages and facilities, little dollars to assist small business directly and lets not forget the dollars spent on studies, surveys and conferences that most small business operators and owners simply did not have time to attend. The idea behind BIDS is simple, allocate funds from both the public and private sector to do things to improve a defined district in a community. The idea is simple, and growing across the province. With at least 4 BIDS in Saskatoon, 2 in Regina, 1 in Prince Albert and 1 in Yorkton, the numbers will officially grow by 1 more in Humboldt later this month. Even small communities with as small a population are looking at BIDs for their community.

With the assistance of the Yorkton BID, Humboldt has been working hard to establish and focus their own BID, in some respects a model of the Yorkton BID, which we can say has been identified provincially, as very successful.

Going back to the beginning it was the YBID who pushed to get the Liquor Store in the Downtown area. Because it was and is a destination point. Not everyone liked the idea of the move but in the end it happened, as did the City Centre Park next door, New Street Lights ( which the YBID pays 100,000 a year to the city for) park benches, garbage containers, sidewalk cleaners, the Old Mill Park, Sask Tel Pioneers Park on Betts with more to come. The YBID and other BIDS focus on getting things done with PARTNERSHIPS from within the community. Almost every thing we have done as a YBID, has a Partner or Partners attached to it. That speaks well of our community. Be advised, that not just our YBID is doing this, but many other BIDs in Saskatchewan as well as the rest of North America are working towards the needs of their district. Some do sidewalk sales, some look after parking, many, like Yorkton BID focus on improvements to make the district a great place to have a business, to hold events, and to assist their council in growth. The YBID and BIDs in general have done a lot, but they can do more because their ideas come from their members, and members in BIDs are local people operating and owning local business and that is what makes Yorkton A great place to do business!
