District seniors to compete in 55+ games By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Parkland Valley District of the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association exists to get seniors out and active, and each year a wide range of events are hosted throughout the region with this goal in mind. The SSFA is currently setting the events for the district’s 55+ games. Maxine Stinka with the SSFA says that the goal is to promote active

living and wellness among seniors, doing so by hosting a variety of events for the sake of friendly competition and socializing. “The big thing is for seniors to remain active, both for their health and the opportunity to get out and meet people.” There are a wide spectrum of events covered by the SSFA overall in the 55+ games, and Stinka says that there is something for everyone, and every level of ability.

“There’s everything from your very cerebral things like scrabble and kaiser to very active things like track and swimming.” Events are held throughout the district, and Stinka says that this is part of the goal, because with a spread out district it can be difficult if the events are all held in one location. “We find that a lot of seniors don’t want to travel great distances, so we try to spread it throughout the region

wherever people are willing to host, so that we can get participation from all regions.” Right now, while there are events scheduled, Stinka says that they are always looking for more and want to hear from anyone willing to host the games. They are constantly looking to add more events to the roster, and points to Pickleball as one event that they have been pushing to see hosted in the area, bringing in workshops to teach people about

the game, though they have yet to find a host for an competition yet they hope it will be part of the event slate in the area soon. She says that when someone hosts an event, it has benefits that go beyond the day itself, and can have a positive impact on local clubs and organizations. “More people in the area become aware of the activity and the organization... For example, we hosted the provincial curling one year here in Canora,

and now there are a lot more people who continue to participate in curling.” The games are also a way for people to try out new activities, as it is a small time commitment for the seniors but could lead to discovering a new hobby. The SSFA games themselves are only one day, though they can also lead to competing at the provincial or national level if someone qualifies, and as a Cont. on Page 2A

Health Foundation Golf Classic set for 2015 By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The advent of spring means the thoughts of many turn to their golf game, as the snow slowly retreats from the area courses. The Health Foundation is no different, and recently released the details of the upcoming annual Charity Golf Classic, to be held on June 11, with an 11 a.m. shotgun start at the Deer Park Golf Course. The event has raised $1,070,035 over the past 15 years, which has gone towards buying medical equipment needed throughout the Sunrise Health Region. Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, describes the annual tournament as a tremendous and cooperative effort between the foundation and the community. He describes the golfers as ambassadors for the Health Foundation as they go out to raise money for the event. “It’s not the Health Foundation doing the work. It’s people in the community here, Esterhazy, Canora,

Melville and other places where golfers come from and participate in the tournament. They’re the ones raising money and helping us buy equipment for their communities.” Sponsorship pays for the costs of the event itself, so all money raised buys medical equipment. The presenting sponsors for 2015 are Mosaic Potash Esterhazy, SaskTel, Louis Dreyfus Commodities and the Credit Unions of East Central Saskatchewan. This year, the funds raised will go to buy a wide variety of equipment for area facilities, items such as vital signs monitors, blood analyzers, patient lifts and bariatric equipment are some examples of what the Health Foundation is considering for purchase. Fisher says they are asking facilities outside of Yorkton about what they need and would like to see, and this will determine how funds are used. Prizes are based on how much money golfers raise. The top fundraiser will win a $3,000 travel voucher, the second highest fundraiser will

card as a thank you for their work raising money for our local healthcare. Other prizes are available for golfers who reach certain thresholds, including

gift cards from area businesses. Jerry Jemieff, Chair of the organizing committee says that they recommend teams get registered early in

order to ensure they are entered into the tournament. They shoot for 144 golfers at the event, and he says that the ranks fill very quickly.

This year, during the day, the senior students (Grades 7 and 8) led the younger kids in solving the mystery of the missing knight. The children moved from station to station collecting various clues about the perpetrator who removed one of the knight statues from the foyer of the school. Teachers served as suspects with their stats glued to their backs. After school, the Grades 7 and 8 students attempted to stay up all night. Results of the fundraiser were not available due to Easter break. N-R Staff

Legislation will help prevent wildfires New wildfire management legislation has arrived in time for the province’s wildfire season, which typically runs from April 1 to October 31. The Wildfire Act replaces The Prairie and Forest Fires Act, 1982, one of the oldest pieces of wildfire legislation in Canada. The new Act, with the accompanying wildfire regulations, provides a modern regulatory framework that ensures public safety while fostering sustainable economic growth.

“This new legislation was developed in extensive consultation with stakeholders,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “The result is a streamlined legal framework that continues to effectively protect communities, industry, property and valuable forest resources and supports safe development on Crown forest lands.” The new legislation increases efficiency by reducing administrative requirements. For example, burning permits are no longer

required to burn in or within 4.5 kilometres of the provincial forest during the wildfire season, and have been replaced by a simpler, more flexible burn notification system with an exemption for small fires. As well, the new Act and regulations clarify responsibility for wildfires within municipalities, enhance wildfire prevention and preparedness, and provide clear direction for industrial and commercial operators within the forest.

The Wildfire Act was passed in the spring of 2014 but was not proclaimed until the accompanying regulations were developed. The new Act facilitates the development of wildfire chapters for the Saskatchewan Environmental Code, addressing topics including wildfire prevention and preparedness plans for industrial and commercial operations, and new buildings and structures where urban and forested areas meet. Anyone planning to

burn in or near the provincial forest can find information about safe burning and the new notification system at

www.saskatchewan.ca/ fire or by calling their local Forest Protection Area office.

Housing authority appointments Edith Maddaford has been reappointed Chairperson to the Saltcoats Housing Authority Board of Directors along with the reappointment of Len Cameron and new appointment of Cameron Louttit. Other members of the board of directors are Sharon Gibler and Betty Michael. The Saltcoats Housing Authority is a community-based organization that provides daily management of 17 housing units constructed and operated under the terms of a federal provincial municipal cost sharing agreement. Social Services Minister, Donna Harpauer, paid tribute to the volunteers who manage the social housing projects in their community. “This local

hands-on approach ensures that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community.” Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of housing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities. Persons interested in volunteering to serve on the board of directors for the Saltcoats Housing Authority are encouraged to contact the mayor of Saltcoats. A local nominating committee recommends board members. Applications for accommodation are available from the manager of the Saltcoats Housing Authority.

Debt repayment must happen There were exactly 12 babies born in Regina on March 18 – the day the Saskatchewan government released its 2015 budget. We’ve made an implicit promise to this darling dozen. In the 2015 budget the provincial government borrowed $700 million. Those 12 kids will have to help pay for that $700 million debt as young adults, but in the year 2045, on their 30th birthdays, that debt will be completely repaid. If we keep our promise. The Saskatchewan government unveiled a new budgeting plan this year. The operational budget, primarily made up of government employee salaries, has enough tax dollars allocated to it to pay for expenses and therefore it’s balanced. However, the government added a second budget, a capital budget, which it’s using to build infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. Their spending plan on capital nearly doubled from last year, which unsurprisingly left them with a shortfall. So the government filled the gap in its capital budget by racking up a $700 million debt. The Saskatchewan government points out that borrowing to build isn’t unusual. Businesses take out loans to increase production. Crown corporations borrow to expand services. Families sign mortgages to buy homes. But there are key differences between those types of borrowing and Saskatchewan’s $700 million dive into debt. When businesses and Crowns borrow, there’s virtually always a plan to use that capital to increase revenues. Some of that revenue will be available to pay off the loan. Infrastructure is important, but it doesn’t directly generate revenue. There is only one way to pay the debt for government projects: taxes. When families take out mortgages, the banks are rather rigid about repayment. If a homeowner misses payments, the bank forecloses on the house. With government projects, it’s different. Bond fund managers don’t repossess hospitals or highways. Fortunately (for them), they don’t have to. When governments run into repayment problems, the bond market increases borrowing rates and forces irresponsible governments to start making payments and/or pour more and more money into servicing the growing debt. The reality is that government debt isn’t secured by assets, it’s secured by the ability of taxpayers to pay (and pay more if necessary). The Saskatchewan government does have a repayment plan for its new $700 million in debt. In the 2015 budget, it commits to save 2 per cent of the debt each year so that, with interest, the whole $700 million debt can be paid off when the loans come due in 30 years. Now, that depends on governments diligently making those 2 per cent payments annually and resisting the temptation to raid the piggy bank for 30 years. Early on the Saskatchewan Party government paid down significant amounts of the province’s debt, but since 2012 the Saskatchewan government hasn’t reduced the billions it still owes. Four years is a long time in politics, let alone 30. It will be up to voters in the next seven or eight elections to keep our promise to those 12 babies born on budget day and make sure this $700 million debt is paid by their 30th birthday. Todd MacKay is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

TFW program needs flexibility With thousands of Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) about to be forced to leave Canada before their permanent residency applications are fully processed, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) again urged the federal government to offer additional flexibility. This is in response to an April 1st deadline that will mark the beginning of a long process to force TFWs to leave the country. “CFIB commended the federal government for its decision to allow hundreds of skilled TFWs to continue to live and work in Canada until their application for permanent residency is complete,” said Richard Truscott, CFIB’s vice-president for Alberta and BC. “Unfortunately, thousands of TFWs in other provinces and those with more junior skill sets in Alberta will still be forced out.” According to a rule change made four years ago, TFWs are allowed to stay a maximum of four years, then must leave the country for at least four years. That four-year deadline hits today, April 1, 2015. “Through the new Express Entry immigration system, the federal government, to its credit, is trying to help employers retain TFWs who are filling more highly skilled positions and allow them pathways to become permanent residents. But, again, no such pathway exists for TFWs with more junior skill sets,” explained Truscott.

CFIB believes the federal government should allow TFWs at all skill levels to apply to become permanent residents and allow them to stay in Canada when they meet basic requirements. “We believe there is broad support among provincial governments, the workers themselves, and even some union leaders, to facilitate permanent residency for these individuals who are in Canada now and hoping to stay,” concludes Truscott. CFIB has proposed the TFW Program be replaced with a new Introduction to Canada Visa. Instead of a temporary program, the visa would be a first step toward permanent residency and targeted at workers with more junior skill sets. The individual would agree to work for two years with an employer while they integrate into the Canadian economy and adjust to their local community. At that point, they could become a permanent resident. There would be strict enforcement of the rules, including paying the same wages as Canadians working in the business, having at least one Canadian employed for every visa holder at each wage level, and allowing the worker to switch employers, if commitments to them are not met. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of smalland medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members (5,250 in Saskatchewan) across every sector and region.

What can we do with the Senate in Canada? Clearly something must be done about the Canadian Senate. This is at least the impression of the majority of Canadians, as a recent Angus Reid poll recently outlined, with the majority split between implementing reforms or dissolving it altogether. The country’s dissatisfaction with the upper house is likely going to continue to mount, especially as senate expenses again get thrust into the spotlight thanks to the trial of sentient potato Mike Duffy. The Senate in this country is one of those things that’s a nice idea but nobody really knows how to handle. Having a second house, one that isn’t beholden to the whims of voters, is a theoretically good idea, a quieter and gentler house that would reject things that are popular but not in the best interests of people. It reduces the amount of power held by any one person, an inclination that most democratic governments tend to be built around, systems designed under the assumption that if power corrupts, we should ensure nobody has all that much. The idea isn’t a bad one per se, but the issue is that we haven’t really had a good way to implement it. Current appointments are done largely by picking people the government at the time just likes, which has lead to the problem we are in now. Lifetime appointments mean you can get away with a great

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger deal unless you really screw up, and there are no real consequences for being a bad senator. We have created a house of bored people with expense accounts, and now we’re surprised that they are doing something a bored person with an expense account would naturally do – spend money in frivolous ways. So what’s the fix? Now let’s assume that you don’t want an elected Senate, because that’s just a second House of Commons and kind of misses the point of having an upper house in the first place – that is, to have a house that considers bills without the influence of politics. What we need is a way to make the senate function in a way that is accountable to the people, but is still somewhat distant from election

cycles and the inherent pressures of pleasing voters. It sounds impossible, but it just needs to be a place made out of the people. My theory, we do it as a Senate lottery. Each year, a certain number of people are called up to serve on the senate. It wouldn’t be something people can’t refuse, but those who take it up are given the same salary as the current senate for their term, let’s say six years. For the first year or so, it’s basically school as you learn your assorted senate duties, and then you’re a senator for the remainder of it. Each province gets the same number of people as they do now, and we get a steady stream of changeover in the house. Once people are done being a senator, they go back to their regular lives, the term being long enough that they are settled in the role but not so long that they get too used to the role. If one person is a bad senator, they’re cycled out relatively quick, and if someone is good, they’ll probably get noticed and get appointed to do something else. Given the limits of senate power, you’re not going to get a rogue senator doing any damage, but you’ll have a house that is run by the people of the country and serves the same function. It’s not like random selection would be any worse than the people who are in there now.

Organization helping industry

Reality check for Conservatives

To the Editor: Recent spotlights focused on Creative Saskatchewan have unfairly painted a negative picture of an organization that has been of great assistance to numerous creative producers in Saskatchewan, including the small book publishing company that I and my husband operate in Regina. We work in partnership with authors from Saskatchewan and other Prairie provinces to produce books about Prairie people. We do not qualify for other provincial or federal funding of our work. In 2014, our mom-andpop publishing firm received assistance from Creative Saskatchewan to help with publication of three new books. All

three of those books, in addition to two other new titles that we produced in 2014, received awards at the 2014 Great Midwest Book Festival in Chicago, IL. One of those titles quickly sold its first print run of 1,000 books and we gratefully received another grant from Creative Saskatchewan to assist with reprinting that title. Two new books we’ve scheduled for release in 2015 have also received production assistance. All of this is a substantial boost to our small company’s bottom line. Part of Creative Saskatchewan’s mandate is to increase the profile of Saskatchewan creative producers nationally and internationally. DriverWorks Ink has received a market and export devel-

opment grant to assist us with sharing our work at trade shows, schools, libraries, and other speaking events in at least 20 Prairie communities by December. SaskBooks (Saskatche wan Publishers Group), as the industry association representing book publishers in the province, worked alongside SaskMusic, Saskatchewan Motion Picture Industry Association (SMPIA), SaskGalleries (formerly SaskArt), the Saskatchewan Craft Council, and Saskatchewan Interactive Media Association (SIMA) in the working group which helped build the framework for Creative Saskatchewan. As vice-president of SaskBooks, I have attended meetings with Creative Saskatchewan officials and I have first-

hand knowledge of how important this armslength agency is to creative industry producers engaged in commercial activity. In 2014, support for the publishing industry in Creative Saskatchewan’s first year of operations increased from $100,000, previously provided via SaskBooks through Grants to Publishers, to more than $400,000. We wish to publicly thank Creative Saskatchewan, working through the Ministry of Parks, Culture, and Sport, for its support of our small publishing house’s ventures and those of others involved in all of the creative industries.

Students deserve much better

To the Editor:

University tuition in Saskatchewan is rising faster than anywhere else in Canada, and it’s already the second-highest in the country. Now, the government is taking aim at students in this year’s budget. While enjoying nearly a decade of record revenue in Saskatchewan, our universities and post-secondary institutions should be on excellent footing and our graduates should have an advantage when it comes to getting started in Saskatchewan. But, that’s not the case. The University of Saskatchewan, after being

marred by the ill-advised TransformUS program, was forced to fork over $20 million to the government, and deal with a painful budget on top of that. The University of Regina got just a fraction of what it needed in the budget. The university’s president says staff layoffs and program cuts will have to happen. Students are the future in our province – to make them pay more and get less, while they are already dealing with the increasing strain of student loans and cost of living, simply doesn’t make sense. Up until this budget, students could at least count on the

Graduate Retention Program, but that’s not the case anymore. Take a single mom taking classes for example. She would have to earn almost $55,000 a year every year right out of university in order to qualify for the full benefit under this scaled back version of the Graduate Retention Program. It’s clear that this government isn’t making post-secondary education a priority. Saskatchewan students deserve much better. Warren McCall NDP Critic for Advanced Education

Conservative Senators veto bill To the Editor

The Conservative controlled Senate Banking committee voted against Senator Pierrette Ringuette’s bill 2-202, An Act to amend the Payment Card Networks Act (credit card acceptance fees). Bill S-202 sought to place limits on the acceptance fees charges to merchants for accepting credit cards on customer purchase, as well as payments made to charities and government organizations. Currently, the fees can be as high as 3 per

cent of the total purchase, including tax; the bill would have lowered it to 0.5 per cent for standard transaction, 0.3 per cent for government, and 0 per cent for charities. Canada has some of the highest fees in the world, costing Canadian businesses and consumers over $5 billion annually. Senator Ringuette has released the following statement; “The Conservatives may feel that this issue is not important, but there are millions of Canadians and thou-

sands of businesses who are paying these excessive fees. They deserve real action, not empty voluntary codes of conduct and friendly agreements. Small and medium size businesses have always been the cornerstone of job creation in Canada. These excessive fees are taking more and more money out of the pockets of these job creators. The profit margins of Canadian small businesses are getting smaller and smaller, while the profits of the big banks and credit card

companies are getting larger and larger. The Competition tribunal, in its decision on VISA and Mastercard practices, said that regulatory action is needed to address this problem and I have offered a solution to this government and they have only worked against it. I will not give up on this fight. I will continue to push this government, and the next one, to take action on excess acceptance fees.” Tim Rosenburgh Office of Senator Pierrette Ringuette

To the Editor: The elusive Joe Oliver – Finance Minister-inhiding – surfaced briefly at a clothing plant in Toronto today to announce the 2015 Federal Budget date. It’s Tuesday, April 21st. And way overdue. The gap between the last budget (Feb. 11/14) and this next one will exceed a full federal fiscal year. With a weak economy that’s been limping along since the last recession six years ago, and with the more recent overburden of a troubled energy sector shredding jobs, investments and exports – the Harper government has been largely missing-in-action. Through the last three months, the Finance Minister has made only five cameo appearances in the House of Commons Question Period. He seems incapable of defending himself or the government’s less-than-stellar economic performance. He certainly fails to inspire confidence. That was evident again today when Mr. Oliver devoted most of his air-time to a turgid attack on Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. It was petty, filled with falsehoods and distortions, and sounded rather desperate. The Harper Conservatives are clearly spooked. Mr. Trudeau is offering three key things to Canadians that Mr. Harper cannot: First, a positive ambitious vision of what Canadians can accomplish when they pull together (as opposed to Mr. Harper’s “wedges” of fear and division and his endless grinding mediocrity). Mr. Trudeau is riveted on the well-being of the middle-class and all those working so hard just to get there, and that’s the prime determinant of both a successful economy and a healthy democracy. Second, a strong team of both seasoned veterans and exciting new people who have excellent economic credentials. Through the past quartercentury, Liberals have been the ones to practice fiscal responsibility, eliminate deficits, reduce debt and invest in growth. Mr. Harper’s legacy is $10-billion in higher taxes over the past five years, $157-billion in new Harper debt, deficient job quantity and quality, and the worst growth record of any Prime Minister in eight decades. Third, a plan to drive greater investment in real economic growth and jobs to rekindle confidence among Canadians. Transformative infrastructure. Better access to higher learning and skills. Science and innovation. More effective trade. Environmental credibility leading to better markets. These are some of the main building-blocks of sustained and sustainable growth upon which a more prosperous Canada can be built. By contrast, the Harper plan is one thing only – a large tax break (Income Splitting) mostly for wealthier people. Even the late Jim Flaherty found it unpalatable. He felt it was too expensive (more than $2-billion every year), and unfair (86% of Canadian households will never qualify and the biggest gains go to those earning more than $233,000). It worsens inequality and detracts from economic growth. All these worries have recently been confirmed independently by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. At a time when the economy is actually shrinking, business confidence is at a six-year low, unemployment is rising, and job quality is the worst it’s been in 25 years, it’s no wonder the Governor of the Bank of Canada calls the situation “atrocious”.

And the best Mr. Harper can do is stall the budget until he concocts some political “spin” to camouflage his big tax break for Canada’s most wealthy.

Outdoor show and expo set for next weekend The latest edition of the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo is set for April 18 and 19 in the city. “Booth space is filling in pretty well,” said organizer Dean Schill. That means a lot more for people to see as the event has grown to encompass the curling rink area of the Gallagher Centre. “There’s quite a lot of different thing than we had last year,” said Schill. The larger area will mean more booths, and more areas for demonstrations, including one where people can get a feel for fly fishing, and another where people can try bows. The bow test area is a nice compliment to the 3D shoot which is held in conjunction with the Expo. There are also plans for an area on the grounds to test drive quads this year, said Schill. As always there are some big name speakers from the field of sport hunting and fishing scheduled to appear at the event. The featured guest speakers are Pat and Nicole Reeve. “Both Pat and Nicole got their start in hunting at a very early age and were taught how to hunt from whom they looked up to the most, their fathers.,” detailed their on line bios. “Nicole shot her first deer at the age of six and since then has put many record book animals on the ground and all of them being on film. Her personal best is 195” whitetail from her home state of Illinois and her highlight to her career came when she spot n stalked with her bow a Male Lion in Africa and recently a 9ft. Brown Bear in Alaska. Pat has been hunting for more than thirty-seven years

and has an unmatched track record of taking some of the largest whitetails in the world. Pat has anchored over seventy-five record book bucks all on camera and currently holds the record for harvesting the largest typical ever on video. The massive 5x5 scores an unbelievable 200” gross and net scored 192 3/8 and was taking on November 14, 2005 in Illinois. “With an ever-growing passion for whitetails Pat moved on in 2003 from Hunters Specialties and started a new television show called North American Whitetail Television. NAWT within three years was an award winning series that was at the top of the charts.” If fishing is more your interest then you will want to be at the Expo to listen to Gord Pyzer. “Thirty-eight (38) time national award winning writer, multiple National Magazine Gold and Silver Medal Winner, and recipient of the 2014 Canadian Magazine Cover Award, Gord Pyzer, is widely regarded as Canada’s most scientific angler,” noted the online bio. “Known in fishing circles as “Doctor Pyzer”, Gord has a Master’s degree in Resource Management and worked for thirty years as a senior manager with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, including Policy Advisor to the Assistant Deputy Minister for Northern Ontario. “While serving as the OMNR District Manager in Kenora, Ontario, Gord established the first conservation-oriented, modern muskie management regulations (for Lake of the Woods) in North America. Using sonic tracking devices and scuba gear, Gord and his team of biologists also initiated one of the most

extensive, multi-year tracking studies of smallmouth bass and largemouth bass ever undertaken. “An internationally sought out speaker and seminar presenter, Gord is the Fishing Editor of Outdoor Canada

Magazine; Field Editor of In-Fisherman Magazine and Television.” The Reeves and Pyzer are part of a stellar list of speakers scheduled over the two days. A complete schedule will soon be listed at www.parklandoutdoorshow.com

The Expo banquet is always popular, and Schill said tickets have went quickly. “The banquet is pretty well sold out already,” he said. Tickets for the Expo are available in advance through event organizers, again check out the

website. Schill said advance sales are good as the tickets get people’s names in a draw which includes a 2014 Jeep Wrangler from Yorkton Dodge, and an African Safari Hunt as prizes.

BENEFIT GAME – The 29th Annual Student versus Teacher Benefit Hockey Game was played last Wednesday at the Farrell Agencies Arena in the city.

CHOKING PREVENTION – Picture yourself enjoying a delicious meal with your family this Easter. Everyone is having a great time reminiscing and joking. It is a perfect start to a wonderful spring. The children are searching for eggs and munching on sweets. Only over-indulgence could ruin the evening. But what if something did happen? Are you prepared to care for your child or loved one if they are choking and no longer able to breathe? At St. John Ambulance, we prepare you for the unexpected. Prevention of such incidents is always the most important step, but if an incident does occur, it is important to be prepared. Know the signs of choking so that you are prepared to act the moment it occurs. If children are going out alone, be sure to remind them how to protect against choking. Have children show their spoils to a parent before eating. They also need to know not to run with candy in their mouth. Teach your children what they can do if they know that someone is choking. They need to be taught the signs, and know to call for help immediately. Always have a first aid kit on hand so that you have all the proper tools if an incident becomes serious. - St. John Ambulance Saskatchewan

Drug coverage available to treat hepatitus C

Saskatchewan is now providing coverage for two new lifesaving drugs for treating hepatitis C. These new drug therapies cure 90-98 per cent of patients in as little as eight to 12 weeks compared to traditional therapies that cure 60-75 per cent of patients in 24-48 weeks. “We are committed to providing Saskatchewan patients with better access to

new and effective medications,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “These two drugs offer effective, simple and fast treatment. They provide a cure for chronic hepatitis C patients and greatly improve the quality of life for those affected.” The two new drugs, Harvoni and Sovaldi are better tolerated by patients compared to other available therapies and have the advantage of being a

once daily tablet. “We are very pleased that the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health has approved funding for these new treatments for chronic hepatitis C virus infection,” Royal University Hospital Head of the Division of Infectious Diseases Dr. Stephen Sanche said. “These medications will offer our patients a substantially greater chance of cure with fewer side effects and shorter treatment

courses.” Over the next three years, the ministry expects to provide coverage for about 1,100 patients who will meet the Exception Drug Status criteria for these therapies. Through the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance, provinces and territories negotiated with the drugs’ manufacturer to leverage their collective buying power and receive better prices for new drugs.

The ministry will continue its overall efforts to lower drug costs and to negotiate the best value of new therapies through this process. Coverage for these therapies is anticipated to be $8 million to $10 million in 201516 , subject to utilization and the cost difference between these and existing products. Hepatitis C is a viral disease that affects the liver. Effects of the virus range in severity

from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, chronic illness, including liver scarring and liver cancer. The disease is spread primarily through contact with the blood of an infected person. For more information on the approval process and income assisted programs, contact the Drug Plan and Extended Benefits Branch at 1-800-6677581 or 306-787-3317 in Regina.

New Wildfire Act recently proclaimed New wildfire management legislation has arrived in time for the province’s wildfire season, which typically runs from April 1 to October 31. The Wildfire Act replaces The Prairie and Forest Fires Act, 1982, one of the oldest pieces of wildfire legislation in Canada. The new Act, with the accompanying wildfire regulations, provides a modern regulatory framework that ensures public safety while fostering sustainable economic growth.

within 4.5 kilometres of the provincial forest during the wildfire season, and have been replaced by a simpler, more flexible burn notification system with an exemption for small fires. As well, the new Act and regulations clarify responsibility for wildfires within municipal-

ities, enhance wildfire prevention and preparedness, and provide clear direction for industrial and commercial operators within the forest. The Wildfire Act was passed in the spring of 2014 but was not proclaimed until the accompanying regulations were devel-

oped. The new Act facilitates the development of wildfire chapters for the S a s k a t c h e w a n Environmental Code, addressing topics including wildfire prevention and preparedness plans for industrial and commercial operations, and new buildings and struc-

tures where urban and forested areas meet. Anyone planning to burn in or near the provincial forest can find information about safe burning and the new notification system at www.saskatchewan.ca/fire or by calling their local Forest Protection Area office.

Any time of the year is a great time for soup

My recent appearance on Global TV News helped to remind me that any time of year is a great time for soup. I demonstrated one of my favorite soup recipes and the feedback I received was tremendous. Soup is great because just one pot is a blank canvas waiting for you to unleash your culinary imagination. One of my all-time favourites is Mulligatawny soup. The name for this curry based soup is derived from the words “milagu” (meaning pepper) and “thanni” (meaning water). It is also a great recipe for using up any leftover cooked chicken from the night before. When using lentils, salt is typically added at the end of the cooking time as it could slow down

the cooking of the lentils, and I have followed that rule here. However, keep in mind that there is typically salt in chicken broth, so leaving the salt to the end probably doesn’t make too much difference in this instance. Happy Cooking... Mulligatawny Soup

1/4 cup butter 1 medium onion, diced small 2 celery stalks, diced small 1 medium carrot, diced small 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp flour 2 tsp curry powder 1 tsp garam masala 1/4 tsp dried thyme 4 cups chicken broth/ stock 1/4 cup dried green

Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com lentils 2 bay leaves 1 apple, peeled and diced 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (preferably grilled) 1 - 400 ml can of coconut milk 1.5 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Add butter to a pot over medium heat. Once the butter foams, add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes

Littering fines laid

Northern forest company Meadow Lake OSB Limited Partnership has been fined $4,900 in Prince Albert provincial court after being found guilty of two charges under The Forest Resources Management Act and The Litter Control Act. Charges were laid by the Ministry of Environment after the company failed to remove garbage left in the forest by its contractors. Meadow Lake OSB was convicted on one charge of failing to contain waste, as required by its approved operating plan, and fined $3,500 ($2,500 plus a 40 per cent surcharge). The company was also found guilty of abandoning waste, and fined $1,400 ($1,000 plus

a 40 per cent surcharge). Both charges relate to waste left on a work camp site in the Green Lake area during the 2012-13 operating season. Charges related to litter found on two other sites were dismissed by the court. During inspections, forestry officers observed waste left behind, including material used to stabilize stream crossings, a crushed culvert and other garbage. Officers brought these issues to the company’s attention on several occasions, eventually laying the charges in December 2013. The company has cleaned up all three sites since court proceedings began. “The public expects companies harvesting in publicly-owned forests to

follow their plans and clean up after themselves,” Ministry of Environment Forest Service Acting Executive Director David Stevenson said. “The public also trusts the ministry to hold companies accountable and we take this trust very seriously.” If you suspect wildlife, fisheries, forestry or environmental violations, call your local Ministry of Environment office, Saskatchewan’s toll-free Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for SaskTel cellular subscribers, or report a violation online at www. saskatchewan.ca/conservation.

Pictured on the left is Darlene Langan - Breakfast Program Coordinator PAY IT FORWARD – We all hear and see, almost daily, how Yorkton and SK has a “booming economy” with wealth being created in many new places. Unfortunately, this wealth is not spread throughout the entire community. Some people in the community are struggling to make ends meet as a result of not being one of the beneficiaries of the “economic boom.” One of the struggles people in Yorkton are having is providing food and meals for themselves and their families. In August 2014, the Yorkton friendship centre in partnership with 601 east Outreach here in Yorkton, launched a breakfast program. In one instance, they have a young person attending the breakfast program who informed that their minimum wage pay does not cover rent, utilities, transportation to work, let alone food. Simple math can confirm this. The breakfast program has been initially funded by the Painted hand Community Dev. Corp., however those

funds are being used up. Although they are grateful for their support, they require more assistance from the community. They would like to take this opportunity to reach out to you and your organization and ask for your support for the breakfast program. A financial contribution, a contribution of food, or a contribution of your time preparing a breakfast, would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please call the Yorkton Friendship Centre at 306-7822822. They thank you in advance for your support! Shoe La La Footwear & Fashions proudly supports the Breakfast Program! We would like to put out the challenge to other groups to help with a donation of breakfast food items! Breakfast items can be dropped off at The Yorkton Friendship Centre located at 139 Dominion Ave or at Shoe La La Footwear & Fashions on 132 C Broadway St W (next to Pizza Hut and Chesters Chicken) Pay it Forward Yorkton!

Eggs and chocolates bunnies are enough

Ed, my neighbor next door, took a great many chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies to his family at Edmonton last week. Ed likes to make sure the children at their Easter celebrations will have lots of candy treats. He spoils them with more Easter chocolate than is good for them. My neighbor is generous about Easter chocolate but negative about the religious significance of Easter. He dismisses the truth that Easter is the center of Christian joy and hope. Ed claims that Easter is enough in ‘Easter Egg Hunts’ for kids. Ed dismisses the life, death and resurrection of Jesus as church talk. He claims our world needs to

have a church talk separation. By that, he means what is said at church stays there so that people can celebrate Easter without any religious connotations. Certainly many people do celebrate Easter and Christmas without any reference to Jesus Christ. Ed admits to being a great scoffer and doubter when it comes to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Ed is like the original, ‘Doubting Thomas,’ who would not trust what others told him. Other disciples told Thomas that they had seen Jesus alive from the dead. Thomas would not believe Jesus had risen from the dead, without seeing Jesus with

Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com his own eyes and touching the wounds of Jesus’ body. When Thomas was able to see with his eyes and touch Jesus with his hands, he was certain that Jesus was alive from the dead. Later he would be martyred rather than deny that he had seen Christ alive from the dead. All of the disciples except John were killed

for confessing that Jesus arose from the dead as the Son of God. Like Thomas, we may readily reject and doubt what others tell us as the truth. Jesus told Thomas blessed are those who have not seen (me) and yet have believed. Seeing with our eyes, touching with our hands may give us confidence, and the

feeling we know the truth, but we cannot see and touch everything. We can and do learn the truth from others. We must consider who is telling us something, and if they are trustworthy. For many of us, the Bible is the truth from God that we believe. It is the truth written so that everyone may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that by believing they may have life in His name. Learning, the truth that Jesus was alive from the dead, left Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome trembling and bewildered. The women went to anoint the dead body of Jesus on the third

day after his crucifixion. When they got to the tomb, a stone blocking the door of the tomb was rolled away. A young man dressed in white said to them, “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.” Truth is often unexplainable and it shakes and defies our reality. Christians express the truth of Easter with the words, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” Christian hope and joy are confirmed in Jesus’ words, “Because I live, you also will live.” At Easter, we say, “Happy and joyous Easter to everyone because Jesus lives!”

Victim programs receive additional funding Programs that help Saskatchewan victims of interpersonal violence and abuse will receive more than $11 million this fiscal year. “These organizations make a vital contribution to the safety of Saskatchewan’s citizens and families,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “We are pleased to continue funding these community-based programs that offer support to Saskatchewan residents who need it the most.” The funding is provided to 33 communitybased organizations for 43 programs supported by the Ministry of Justice, including: Family-violence outreach programs, which offer direct services and public education on interpersonal violence and abuse; Transition houses, which provide around-

the-clock emergency shelter for women and children who are leaving violent relationships; Sexual assault services, which provide support for sexual assault victims such as a twenty-four hour crisis line, crisis counselling, and help getting to and from medical, legal, and social services appointments; Enhanced residential services that offer shelter for women and children whose issues extend beyond family violence to include mental health concerns and addiction; and Associations that coordinate these services across the province. “We appreciate this government’s continued support of PATHS and of our member agencies who work directly with individuals impacted by violence,” Provincial Association of Transition Houses and

Small changes can deliver big results SaskPower is pleased to report that people across the province combined their efforts during Earth Hour to bring an average drop of 110 megawatts (MW) in electricity consumption on Saturday night. “Every watt of electricity that the people of Saskatchewan save is a watt we don’t have to generate,” said Janson Anderson, SaskPower’s director of customer programs. “This is an excellent and simple demonstration of how making a few small changes to how you use electricity at home can deliver big results.” The average residential electricity demand on Saturdays in March is approximately 1,200 MW from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. During Earth Hour, the average demand dropped to 1,090 MW. This is a significant improvement on Earth Hour results in 2014 when consumption remained virtually unchanged during Earth Hour. Some of the drop in

2015 may be due to warm temperatures in most areas of the province yesterday. Customers looking to scale back on power use all year long can take advantage of SaskPower’s energysaving programs and promotions.

Dianna Graves said. “This will allow our members to increase the services they provide to those in need.”

Share the road and keep everyone safe

Motorcycles are out and SGI is reminding drivers and riders to share the road to keep all road users safe. SGI is also reminding riders of traffic law changes that have come into effect, stemming from safety recommendations of the Motorcycle Review Committee. “Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of injuries than those travelling in a passenger vehicle,” said Andrew Cartmell,

President and CEO of SGI. “To reduce that risk, all road-users need to work together and pay special attention during the riding season.” In 2013, there were 244 crashes in Saskatchewan involving a motorcycle, moped or power cycle, resulting in 203 injuries and six deaths. All six deaths and 177 of those injuries were motorcyclists. Road safety is everyone’s responsi-

bility. Adopt these driving habits to help riders keep the rubber on the pavement: · Drivers – look twice and save a life. Motorcycles are small and difficult to see. Before turning left in front of traffic, look further ahead to ensure a bike isn’t traveling behind an oncoming vehicle. Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and turn your head to ensure a bike isn’t in your blind spot.

Law in place to protect from online crime Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz If you’re concerned about the kids or grandkids surfing the Net in the next room, you have good reason to be cautious. Cyberbullying is a sad reality faced by too many young Canadians across the country. It can destroy the lives of its victims and their families. But online criminal activity doesn’t only hurt young Canadians; it affects adults as well. That’s why the Government of Canada is pleased that the Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act has now become law. The legislation is helping to ensure Canadians are better protected from online criminal activity, including the protection of young Canadians from the dangers of cyberbullying. The new law gives police the tools they need to investigate crime in today’s high-tech environment, while at the same time protecting Canadians’ privacy. It is now an offence to share an intimate image without the consent of the person in the image. This includes when the photo is taken unwillingly, or without the

person in the photo even realizing it. The new law also empowers the court to remove an intimate image from the Internet, and order forfeiture of the device used to commit the offence. Meanwhile, the new law will also take a strong stand for victims. For too long, the justice system has been about protecting the rights of criminals, not the victims of crime. Now, the courts will be empowered to provide for reimbursement to victims for costs incurred in removing intimate images from the Internet and elsewhere. Our government has a strong record of pro-

tecting Canadians, especially children, from online criminal activity. We increased the age of protection from 14 to 16 years, and strengthened measures to protect children from online sexual exploitation. We’ve also taken a strong stand for victims to provide for a stronger voice in Canada’s criminal justice system by delivering our Victims’ Bill of Rights. Cyberbullying of anyone must be exposed. Encourage young people who may be bullied to talk about it with a trusted adult or call the Kids Help Phone at 1-800-6686868. The service is both anonymous and confidential. And anyone of any age who is a victim should contact the police if the bullying is serious. Through the Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act, our government is proud to continue working to help keep Canadians, young and old, safe while online.

Increase your following distance – rearending a motorcyclist has far more severe consequences in most cases than rear-ending a passenger vehicle. · Motorcyclists – you’re not invincible, be visible. Bright or reflective gear will help others see you sooner. Use the proper lane positions to ensure maximum exposure. Make sure you’re wearing all the gear, all the time. It’s the law that new riders must have their arms and legs covered, wear hand-covering gloves, ankle-covering boots and an approved 3/4, modular or fullface helmet. Also, increase your skills by completing a certified training course. Whether you’re a rook-

ie or a veteran, this course will teach you skills to improve your technique or abolish bad habits. To increase safety measures and reduce collisions, some new laws regarding motorcycles were implemented last year. All new riders must complete the Basic Ability Road Test (BART) or a certified training course in order to get a 6 endorsement. Riders who complete their BART on or after April 1, 2015 on a bike with an engine with 400cc or less will receive an ‘R’ restriction on their licence, limiting them to operating bikes 400cc or less. Riders will keep the restriction throughout the Motorcycle Graduated Driver’s

Licence (MGDL) program. It can be removed by: · Providing proof to SGI of completed approved training; OR, · Completing the BART (6 Endorsement) or Motorcycle Road Test (M Endorsement), depending on where they are in the MGDL program, on a motorcycle of 401cc or greater; OR, · Graduating out of the MGDL program (obtaining an experienced M endorsement).

Many consumers know about the warranties offered by retailers for popular goods like electronics and appliances, but in most cases, goods are already protected by warranties offered under Saskatchewan law. It is important for consumers to understand how statutory warranties work so they can decide whether purchasing extra warranty coverage is worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People already tend to be pretty knowledgeable about additional warranties sold by retailers for things like computers and appliances,â&#x20AC;? Financial and

Consumer Affairs Authority Director of Consumer Protection Division Eric Greene said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to raise awareness about rights and protections already offered as statutory warranties.â&#x20AC;? Statutory warranties are automatically offered when goods are purchased in Saskatchewan. The three most commonly asked about warranties relate to product description, durability and sale by samples. The warranty relating to product description applies when a seller is describing a product through advertising.

The product must match the description at the time of sale. For example, features, colour and attributes must be the same. If the ad displays a computer with a 500GB hard drive, it should come with a 500GB hard drive. Durability warranties mean goods must be durable and fit for purpose for a reasonable period of time. For example, if you buy a fridge and it dies within a reasonable amount of time, consumers may still have protection under the legislation. Matching warranties mean products demonstrated by a sample

must match the quality and description of the larger order. This commonly applies to things like paint swatches, shingles or flooring samples. Consumers should keep receipts, invoices and records of maintenance to help them make the case when exercising claims for their warranty rights. To learn more about warranty rights visit www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca/ warranties2015 or contact the Consumer Protection Division at consumerprotection@ gov.sk.ca or toll free: 1-877-880-5550.

LOOKING FOR A HOME – Puppy is an approximately 2 year old male elkhound cross. This guy does not appear to have been in the house, or ever on a leash, as all is very new for him. He would make a great farm dog, but given his size he could definitely enjoy city life. If you’re that responsible, loving home please call 306-783-4080 for more information or drop by the Shelter at 79 - 7th Ave. S. in Yorkton.

MID CITY SERVICE

A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District

65 Broadway St. E. Yorkton

Baby Friendly Business The Baby Friendly Initiative Working Group is comprised of members from different departments in the Sunrise Health Region and the Yorkton Tribal Council. The group works on projects to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding in following with the Baby Friendly Initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 Steps, for more information please go to www.breastfeedingcommitteeofcanada.ca. To date the group has done promotional work on the value of skin to skin care. For more information on skin to skin care please go to http://magicalhour.com/aboutus.html. You may have noticed posters displayed in health care centers within our region promoting skin to skin care after birth. In the past year, the group has also created life size cut outs of women breastfeeding their children displayed in highly visible places to help raise awareness and support for breastfeeding in public. The cut outs have been received well with the public. Our group wants to expand the support for breastfeeding families even further by having businesses become involved. Health Canada states that children should be breastfed exclusively for six months, and then with the introduction of solids, to continue to breastfeed for up to two years and beyond. One of the reasons stated by mothers that wean earlier than planned, is how uncomfortable they feel when they breastfeed in public, especially if they breastfeed their older child (commented by a local mom, Twila Seeley). â&#x20AC;&#x153;My children were born in Ecuador. There was no choice on what you would feed your baby, everyone breastfed everywhere, anytime. Coming back here, I definitely felt like I was doing something â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrongâ&#x20AC;? breastfeeding my older child. I definitely felt the pressure to wean.â&#x20AC;? The BFIW Group wants to take away that feeling of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pressureâ&#x20AC;? or being uncomfortable by working with local businesses to have them become Baby Friendly. The group has created a Baby Friendly Business Tool Kit that will help businesses to support breastfeeding families through educating their staff and having an area in their business for women to breastfeed their child should they wish to. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;win-winâ&#x20AC;? for both businesses and families. Families will know there are places to breastfeed (other than their vehicle or a bathroom), when they are in public. Businesses will benefit as breastfeeding families, knowing that a business is Baby Friendly, most likely will go there knowing there is a place for them to breastfeed. Those businesses participating will display a BG Denture Clinic sticker on their front door or window so families Creating can identify that breastfeeding is welcome. For any business interested/ or anyone wanting Beautiful Smiles more information, please contact Heidi at For Over 306-786-0886 or Danielle at 306-782-8130 35 Years ext 227. It is also important to note, that although our group will be working with businesses to become Baby Friendly, a mother can breastfeed 46 Broadway St. E. (Next to Cornerstone Credit Union) anywhere and anytime she needs to. It is a basic Yorkton, Sask. Human Right that mothers can breastfeed their 306-783-6350 children.
