The Trans Canada tour – biker makes Yorkton stop

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer In 2012, Elizabeth Sovis was killed on a PEI highway after being struck by a drunk driver.

She was there because of a gap in the Trans Canada Trail, the biking trail originally announced with the intent of linking the country together with baths for biking and hiking.

Now her husband Edmund Aunger is taking up her cause and working to raise awareness of the current state of the Trans Canada Trail.

Aunger is lobbying to get governments involved to finish the system. He has been riding part of the trail each year, this year biking from Edmonton, AB, to Winnipeg, MB. Last week he stopped in Yorkton along his journey.

Aunger says that he and his wife were always enthusiastic supporters of the Trans Canada Trail project, because they enjoyed walking and biking. They felt it was a great thing for the country to have a trail system. He says his wife’s plan, after retirement, was to spend the first few years working to get the trail system complete in Alberta, where they lived.

“Safety was huge for my wife, because she wanted a place where she could walk and ride her bike safely and did not want to go anywhere there were motorized vehicles.”

They made the decision to vacation in PEI because it was the most complete system, Aunger details, but on the first day they had to travel on a highway with no shoulders in order to reach their destination.

They only made it ten minutes before she was struck by traffic.

“I have to do it for her, because this was her project, but I have to do it for myself. I have to find some meaning in my life and do something for her, that’s what it boils down to.”

EDMUND AUNGER stopped in Yorkton recently as part of his effort to ride the Trans Canada Trail and work to complete the project. He says that the trail within Saskatchewan is in dire need of a provincial government plan to get it up to spec and safe for riders.

Meter recall underway, none in Yorkton

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer SaskPower’s Smart Meter recall project has begun, with the $47 million dollar recall of all units in the field beginning this week.

Robert Watson, SaskPower President and CEO says that meters failing is an inevitability as infrastructure ages, but the Smart Meters are being recalled because of the way they fail, which is dangerous.

“Our issue with the Smart Meters is when a fault happened they would literally burn, outside of the meter itself... That was our concern,

not that a fault would happen, but what happens when a meter would fault it should be contained within the meter.”

The current digital meters have a failure rate of approximately 60 a year, which Watson says is acceptable given the number of meters in service and the factors that cause failures.

A tenth fire connected to a Smart Meter occurred in Regina over the weekend, but Watson says in this case the fire and smoke was contained within the case, meaning it was not at the same level of danger as the meter failures which prompted the recall.

Quick fact: SaskPower says it will replace 105,000 smart meters, a process that is expected to cost $47 million.

This failure was in the socket rather than the meter itself.

“If the meter is impacted they should stay intact, and that one did.”

Installers are undergoing

extra safety training right now to reinforce the standards for meter installation, Watson says, and will be inspecting the sockets that the meters plug into as they are replaced with the digital meters. He notes that homeowners will not be responsible for the costs incurred if the socket needs replacement.

Watson says that the investigation into the incident is ongoing and will be available as soon as it is complete.

Watson says that SaskPower wants to be as open and transparent as possible through the process.

The focus at the moment is to get the current Smart

Meters out of the system.

When that is complete, Watson says, there will be a stringent test of several manufacturers with different meters, done in the province, with independent verification of results. He says that the first time around there was also a similar, independently verified test of the meters.

“We’ve done our job and we’ve done our due diligence so that’s why we’re very open to an independent review of what’s gone on.”

No meters were installed in Yorkton and area, the project was focused in Regina and Saskatoon and the surrounding regions.

Doherty was appointed to the Advanced Education portfolio in early June and visited the city to see the progress on the College’s project. The Trades and Technology Centre is slated to open for classes in September 2015. It will enable Parkland College to produce more than 350 skilled graduates per year in a variety of fields that are experiencing a labour shortage throughout Saskatchewan, such as agriculture/multi-mechanics, power engineering, and welding. The facility will also allow 2,000 workers to upgrade their skills each year. Pictured at the event (l-r) are: Parkland College President Dr. Fay Myers, Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz, Parkland College Board Chair Lydia Cyr, Advanced Education Minister Kevin Doherty, Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit, Ryan McMorris and Ryan Le Nouail of Logan Stevens Construction, and Parkland College Capital Campaign Committee co-chair Evan Ortynsky.

BBBS Show and Shine event a Canadian exclusive

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

TRACKS by Joe Varro is a new exhibit currently at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery, showcasing life on the railway in the ‘40s and ‘50s.

New at the Godfrey Dean – a document of life on the rails

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Tracks is a new exhibition currently at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. The show collects the art of Joe Varro, who sketched and painted while on downtime with the Canadian Pacific Railway in the ‘40s and ‘50s.

The work in the show involves a wide spectrum of styles and methods, from quick sketches of things happening in the yard to much more detailed paintings and print making.

“He’s drawing, painting and sketching from life at work,” explains Don Stein, executive director of the Godfrey Dean.

The show is a document of history, capturing the life on the railway at the time, as well as capturing things like the

endless downtime on the rails, with many portraits of sleeping or reading coworkers.

“I think he was also continuing his education and trying things out. He also had to spend all of his time at work, so he had that environment to do it, but it was the world around him. When artists are trying to make sense of the world around them, that’s what they have access to.”

Stein says that Varro’s youth at the time the work was created is part of the reason why the show gives a different experience than most reflections on the steam era on the railway.

“This is a living experience and it is infused with a young man’s energy... The work is full of that, as opposed to being much more reflective later in your life and harkening back to a bygone

era. These were exciting times for him.”

Many of the images are made using blind contour drawing, where the artist keeps their eye on the subject while drawing with a single unbroken line.

“If you can do that without looking you can go a lot faster and capture things more quickly from real life around. You can see some of his drawings are just fantastic and full of detail being done that way.”

This is the first time that the work has been shown together, Stein says. Curated by Vic Cicansky, the work came to the gallery as a collection of old sketches.

“When we got it... It was just a pile of papers, old crumpled wrinkled paper in a cardboard box... The curator had the eye to recognize the quality of the work so he

Cycling for change/safety Con’t from Page 1.

The trail is in a bad state, Aunger says, especially in Saskatchewan. With only 500km of the 1,500km target met, Aunger says the province is the worst in the country for actually building and maintaining the trail.

One of the main problems is a lack of resources allocated to maintaining and building the trail, whether it’s money or manpower, with the majority of the burden placed on municipalities Aunger says. The Yorkton area is representative of that problem, while he praises the city for having a beautifully maintained and marked trail within city limits, he says the trail just a short distance away at York Lake is unusable.

“It’s an overgrown nature trail, it’s marshy, the grass is up to my chest, you can’t see it, it would be hard with my hiking boots on but it’s impossible with my bike,” Aunger says.

This inconsistency shows that each part of the trail is being left up to the municipalities to maintain and develop, Aunger says, which is not an acceptable way to build and maintain a national trail network.

“The province should be putting planning and money into this project, they shouldn’t be asking municipalities to carry the burden,” Aunger

says.

He says that among the Canadian provinces, Saskatchewan has the worst network as far as completion goes, and he is calling on the provincial government to take leadership in the Trans Canada Trail program.

“Usually when there is a complete failure, as there is in the province of Saskatchewan for building the Trans Canada Trail, it is usually, I believe, a failure of the provincial government.

There is a complete indifference, if not hostility, towards the Trans Canada Trail on the part of the provincial government.”

Aunger is raising money through the ride, and $25,000 has been raised through the ride. However his focus has changed to lobbying the provincial and federal governments of Canada to put more effort into getting the trail complete.

“I realize it’s not a question of money, people have donated lots of money, but it can’t be done by individual donations. The Trans Canada highway was not built by people with shovels and private donations. The provincial governments have to plan this and they have to put their resources and legislative powers at work to get this done.”

He invites people to sign a petition at www.ridethetrail.ca to call on the government to complete the trail.

put together a really nice set of pieces, and I think when he sees it framed even he’s going to be impressed.”

This is the second of three planned shows focusing on the railway and its impact in Saskatchewan, with the next one planned to feature a First Nations perspective on the rails and their impact on the province and the nation, planned for 2015.

Tracks runs until September 14 at the Godfrey Dean. Admission is free.

The Big Brothers, Big Sisters Show and Shine raised over $3,500 over the weekend, bringing together a wide spectrum of the area’s car community together to support kids in the community.

One of the vehicles on display was a 1954 Fargo owned by Eric and Thelma Tatton of Yorkton. The truck, recently repainted, is in excellent condition, looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

Eric Tatton says he has owned the truck since 1960, and it was purchased to work on his farm.

Since buying it, the truck has been registered for every year, and he says it has always been a reliable workhorse over those 54 years.

“It’s been a wonderful truck.”

The Fargo brand was a Canadian exclusive, to give Chrysler-Plymouth dealers a truck to sell. It was a Dodge truck with a Fargo badge on it, Tatton says. His truck was made for work, powered by a flathead six which he says that slow and steady is the order of the day.

“You won’t go anywhere very fast in it, but you’ll always get there.”

Very little was done to the truck, Tatton says, just some bodywork and paint after they moved into town. The truck still gets used, though he admits its life is much easier now than it was when they were on the farm.

Tratton was impressed by what he saw at the show, with the wide variety of different cars.

While he once had won the Best Truck award at a previous show, he correctly guessed that one of the Mercury models on display would take home the prize.

Ready, set, let’s go fishing!

We may live on the prairies but there are lakes abound and plenty of ways to get out and enjoy them – including trying your luck at angling. If you haven’t yet, how about giving it a whirl for free?

The weekend of August 23 and 24 marks the province’s second free fishing weekend of the summer. Everyone – including visitors to the province – will be free to fish on those days without having to buy a licence.

“Free fishing weekend is a good time to try your luck fishing in one of Saskatchewan’s wonderful lakes and rivers, and to introduce new anglers to one of the province’s most popular outdoor activities,” Environment Minister Scott Moe says.

“Sport fishing attracts more than 225,000 residents and visitors to our province, and generates more than $300 million each year.”

Keep in mind, with that said, Free Fishing Weekend does not occur in national parks, so anyone planning to take fish out of the province must purchase a licence. All other fishing regulations apply, including possession limits, reduced limits and closed areas on some lakes and rivers.

More information about fishing in Saskatchewan can be found in the 2014 Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide, available wherever fishing licences are sold, or online at saskatchewan.ca/fishing.

From lakes, to glistening fields of grain, to forests, there is much to see and explore in Saskatchewan. This month why not take this opportunity to try yet another angle? Pun intended!

Black, white or brown, who cares?

The way I see it...

It’s not likely to happen – at least in my day – but if everyone would just realize we are ALL Canadian, not black, white, brown, yellow or otherwise, the better off we all would be.

Our skin tone and our nationalities do not have to make us who we are.

We have the freedom to be whoever we want to be, at least we would if people would stop with the labeling, segregation and profiling.

You would think in today’s day and age we could get it together and figure that out, but apparently not so.

From the ongoing dispute about the treatment (or lack thereof) of First Nations people, to misconceptions because of one’s race or nationality, to climbing the corporate ladder because of your sex, it’s all needless and damaging for the country as a whole.

Last week in Halifax yet another example surfaced. An independent human rights board of enquiry has found that a now former employee of Nova Scotia’s “Black Educators Association” was discriminated against by the organization and as a result they must pay the employee $11,000 for lost income and damages.

So before I get into the details... Black Educators

Association?

Really?

Would a White Educators Association fly in Canada?

I think not. If that’s not discriminatory right off the bat, I don’t know what is.

Anyway, back to the story. Rachel Brothers was by the associaShannon Deveau employed tion for a year and recently she was fired. The reason given? She was reported to the board by a fellow colleague as being “not black enough.”

Wow. An enquiry into the decision eventually concluded, “colourist thinking” “and behaviour created a toxic work environment”... and that “Ms. Brothers was terminated because she had been successfully undermined in her employment by one of her subordinates.”

The very reason this scenario could happen in the first place lends reason to believe there is something wrong with how business is being conducted.

Why can’t people be judged based on the performance? If Ms. Brothers was doing a good job, does it really matter that she is a lighter shade of black?

It boggles my mind that we continue to see this and to let it happen. It’s the 21st century. It’s high time we get with the times.

Column

When you start eating gold something is wrong A Toronto bakery has made a cupcake worth $900. I can’t say if it’s delicious – though given that it has coffee beans in it I suspect I would not enjoy it at all – but the cupcake itself is barely even relevant. It has not been made with pure flavor in mind, it was instead put together to be as decadent as possible. Does edible gold taste good? Not really, though my only experience with it has been Goldschlager. Is eating gold something that you do entirely for the sheer thrill of doing something so absurd? Yes, ask the guy who drank Goldschlager once.

This particular cupcake was made for a man who wanted to give his wife something for her birthday featuring her favorite ingredients. For the pastry chefs involved, it was a chance to put their skills to the test and produce the most elaborate, complicated and skill-testing creation they could possibly put together.

For the recipient of the cake, it was dessert, but only a small one because it’s a cupcake. For the rest of the world, you will inevitably get a split between the people who are aghast that someone could spend so much on a cupcake and those who have dreams of making even more elaborate and absurd baked goods.

I think it’s more a thrill for the people making the cake than it is for the people ordering it. If I had a $900 cupcake I would eat it, and I would remember it

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger as the time I ate an extremely expensive dessert. For the people making the cake, they have an opportunity to put all their skills to the test, use ingredients that are too expensive to justify in any other situation, and they will essentially be at the cutting edge of their profession. At a certain point, it becomes more than just a cake, it becomes art, albeit temporary art because cake works best when you eat it rather than when you sit and admire it. No matter how beautiful the work of a pastry chef, at the end of the day it must be cut apart and consumed by the hungry crowd, and their crowning achievement is when there is none left over.

But when you look at the end result of this cupcake, or at the end result of any of these absurdly decadent desserts – all of which have edible gold in there, for reasons mentioned earlier – I begin to wonder if the people eating them wouldn’t be happier with just getting a good cake of a much less absurd description.

Admittedly, as someone who doesn’t like coffee, this particular cake is going to be difficult for me to judge, but in general when these over the top desserts come out at a certain point they’re more about being expensive than good. I would rather have a cupcake made out of normal ingredients than one filled with kona coffee beans and champagne. I certainly never need to eat edible gold again.

These pastries exist as an anecdote, nothing more, which is almost sad considering the work that has gone into them. The chefs involved spend a great deal of effort into making this a cake worthy of the price, something that people can be proud of consuming. But, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a quick anecdote at a party. People will tell their friends that they had a $900 cupcake, there will be questions about the ingredients or whether it was worth it. In the end, all that effort, and it’ll just exist so someone can brag that they can spend nearly a grand on pastries. That seems sad to me.

Your letter of the Week

Transparency a good step

It’s a shared responsibility

To the Editor:

Early last week was the deadline for First Nations to comply with the divisive First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA).

The FNFTA requires First Nations all over Canada to post their audited financial statements and the salaries and benefits of elected officials on both a publicly-available website and the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada website.

Despite the pushback from First Nations leaders, transparency and accountability are key components of good governance.

International standards have established that transparency is a universal norm that all governments should strive towards.

The United Nations Development Program considers transparency and accountability to be one of its nine principles of good governance and stresses that through transparency, “Processes, institutions and information are directly accessible to those concerned with them, and enough information is provided to understand and monitor them.”

In 2009, the Centre for First Nations Governance – a non-profit that supports the selfgovernance of First Nations – released a Governance Best Practices Report in which they laid out several

principles that contribute to good governance.

Transparency and fairness is one of the seventeen governance principles they promote and present Westbank First Nation in British Columbia as a case in point.

The report found that increased transparency and accountability in Westbank First Nation stabilized governance, increased economic growth on the reserve, and resulted in a “growing respect for the government from citizens and from external businesses and governments.”

Clearly transparency can benefit First Nations communities, so why are some chiefs and First Nations leaders complaining about a law providing basic transparency to the public?

Up to now, bands were required to provide this sort of information to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada.

Band members, however, often found they could not access this information for their own viewing and frequently went to the media or the Canadian Taxpayers Federation with their complaints about a lack of transparency within their First Nation.

A preliminary look into how many bands across Canada actually post this information already on websites demonstrates that

just over 10 per cent of bands in Ontario and seven per cent of the bands in the three Prairie provinces post their financial information.

This qualifies as a very small minority of bands who actually post this information already in just these two regions.

So, how do we know that First Nations members desire transparency?

Well, the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, in its latest annual Aboriginal Governance Index (AGI), asked members about their expectations of governance. In our fifth AGI we asked about disclosure of chief and councilor salaries.

In total, we received responses from over 3,000 ordinary band members from across the Prairie Provinces.

What we found was that nearly 80 per cent of respondents told us that they think residents should “definitely” be able to learn how much money band leaders make. Unfortunately, a much smaller number of our respondents confidently stated that they think residents are actually able to access this information. Just over 35 per cent of respondents told us that information about chief and council salaries is “definitely” available to everyone.

A slightly smaller number, approximately 25 per cent, gave the opposite answer, saying that the information is “definitely not” freely

available.

Transparency over salaries was not the only dimension of transparency that we studied. We also asked about transparency over band council decisions. For example, when we asked whether everyone who lives on the reserve is allowed to find out what decisions have been recently made by council, slightly fewer than onethird of respondents said “definitely, yes.”

Just under 20 per cent provided an answer at the opposite end of the spectrum, saying individuals are “definitely not” able to gain access to information about recent council decisions.

Clearly, a troubling minority of band residents feel there is a lack of transparency on their First Nation. Having something like the First Nations Financial Transparency Act in place will go a long way towards encouraging good governance among First Nations communities. We already know that a majority of band members on the Prairies at least feel that band leadership should be accountable to the public when it comes to salaries.

It’s time we recognized that transparency is a universal norm and expand it to include First Nations communities here in Canada.

Joseph Quesnel, Frontier Centre for Public Policy.

Regulations confirm policy failures To the Editor: It was back in 2007, nearly eight years ago, when the Harper government was first confronted with complaints about grain handling and transportation deficiencies. Since then, the situation has only grown worse, culminating in last winter’s full-blown, multibillion-dollar, system-wide failure.

The root of the problem is this Mr. Harper devised and imposed a grain handling and transportation system without adequate capacity, no surge capability, no provision for adverse circumstances, no overall coordination, no transparency, no accountability, no competition and no realistic recourse for shippers (like farmers) who are held captive.

It was a system run by the

railways and grain companies to serve their commercial interests.

And it worked... FOR THEM. They’ve just reported record profits.

But for farmers, it’s a different story. Through study-after-study and delay-after-delay, Mr. Harper’s approach to the concerns of grain producers has been haphazard and half-hearted. There have been repeated promises of meaningful action - including two pieces of legislation to shoreup shippers’ rights and “level the playing field” between shippers and railways - but nothing much gets better.

Last winter, the system stuck farmers with a chaotic and costly mess. The undelivered grain carryover into this new crop year, starting this weekend, is close to 20-million tonnes. So with-

out any new crop at all this fall, it will take well into November just to catch up on last year. The new regulations the government unveiled Friday show they still haven’t got things right.

On the matter of “interswitching,” there is general support for this concept to try to create some element of greater competition, but it’s a relatively small measure and will expire in two years.

On the matter of more information and greater transparency, everyone agrees this is long overdue. You cannot manage what you don’t measure. But without some form of overall system coordination, it’s not clear that the mere provision of information will actually move more grain, or serve farmers better.

Are all gun owners potential criminals?

To the Editor: Last week Minister Stephan Blaney announced that he will table a Common sense firearm act this fall.

This bill will give gun owners a grace period of five years to renew their Possession Acquisition Licence. The truth of the matter is that nothing will change with this bill.

Under Harper’s law,

Owning a gun without a valid PAL will land you in jail, have all your firearms confiscated, be charged with owning a firearm without a licence, be fined, and become a felon which means you won’t be able to travel to the USA or other countries because you will have a criminal record .

Imagine owning property (a firearm) will turn you into a felon if

your possession licence expires. What an unjust law. We need to return to the old FAC system, where a licence is required for purchase only. Upon expiration of the FAC, one does not become a felon for simply owning a gun.

There is no question that the Harper government is worries about Canada’s gun owners.

How will they vote

in 2015? Harper says the long gun registry is dead. Don’t for one minute believe that the police are not using the registry.

Common sense should tell the Harper to stop treating lawful gun owners like potential criminals. You need to complain to your MP or PM. Inky Mark, former MP, Dauphin, MB.

To the Editor: In recent comments regarding the establishment of a transition committee for teacher regulation, the Minister of Education alludes to the perception of a lack of rigour within current discipline processes for teachers. Mainstream media in our province has characterized teacher regulation as being a secretive process. The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation respectfully disagrees with both of these characterizations and is deeply concerned about the inference they have for teachers.

Saskatchewan students and their parents have consistently expressed confidence in the teaching profession. In a poll of the public contracted by the Federation and conducted by Praxis Analytics in August 2013, teachers rated exceptionally high in public perception about their performance on the whole.

The Federation ranked higher in trust to act in the public interest than both the Ministry of Education and Saskatchewan School Boards Association.

In that same survey, there was a positive perception of how the processes work when allegations of professional misconduct are made against teachers.

Acknowledging there was room for improvement, the Federation implemented administrative changes in early 2014 to address any perception of conflict of interest and improve public awareness, accessibility and reporting of its existing disciplinary processes, proceedings and outcomes.

The rigour of current Federation processes has been tested in the courts and is overseen by the Minister of Education, who has the sole authority to grant, suspend or cancel a teacher’s certificate, and to establish and maintain an electronic register that is accessible to the public respecting the status of each teacher’s certificate of qualification and eligibility to teach.

With this in mind, it is unfortunate that the Minister of Education has chosen to perpetuate a myth about perception, rather than promote the potential to strengthen an already robust system.

The Federation has a rich and honoured tradition in advocating for students’ interests and representing the province’s teachers. We have never been afraid to embrace change and are continuing to do so in good faith with our partners in education.

That conviction was clearly demonstrated in our negotiations with the government to create the Memorandum of Agreement Re: Teacher Regulation in Saskatchewan that was signed in May of this year. It is further evidenced by the Federation’s two representatives on the transition committee sharing information about current processes and providing constructive feedback on government planning and legislative drafting.

In the memorandum of agreement, both the government and Federation recognized that the regulation of teachers in Saskatchewan is the shared responsibility of post-secondary institutions, employing school divisions, government and professional organizations.

The best pasta cooking

GOOD BOY – Hey there, my name’s Fred. I’m a two year old neutered male retriever cross. I’m extremely friendly and smart, and I get along great with kids and dogs. The only thing I need is a loving, responsible home, and that’s where you come in! I know someone out there has a place in their family for me. So if you want to learn more come visit the SPCA or call 306783-4080.

Regulations confirm policy failures Con’t from Page 5.

On the extension of the Orders to the railways to move certain volumes within a certain time frame, this is essential - given the backlog that remains. But again, this provision is only temporary. It expires in November. There is no core coordination. And there is no attempt to achieve equitable treatment for all corridors (moving west, east, south and north) or for producer cars or short-line rail operators or smaller shippers or domestic users. The government has had three extra months to figure out how to ensure fairness in the system across the board and appears to have given up.

On Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between shippers and railways, the new Regs provide some extra detail about what constitutes an “operational term” in any such agreement, but they also create massive exceptions and excuses. And the fundamental definition of railway “service obligations” is not improved.

When railway performance fails, the enforcement tool is still primarily a fine paid to the government, not “damages” paid to farmers to compensate for their losses. A new power for the Canadian Transportation Agency (the regulatory authority) to order a railway to pay the expenses of those who have suffered losses due to railway failures is illusory - it applies only after a formal “level of service complaint” has been launched.

That is an expensive, cumbersome and time consuming process that will prove too costly and largely inaccessible for most shippers.

As a new harvest comes off this fall, farmers will be watching skeptically to see if the transportation and handling system is actually any better than it was last year.

Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

A staple in almost every home’s pantry is spaghetti or some form of pasta that makes its way to the dinner table on a regular basis. Many of us take the time to focus on building the flavour and complexity of the accompanying sauce for our pasta of choice; however the pasta itself needs attention as well.

Many food columns could be dedicated to achieving palate-pleasing goals in pasta sauces, but let us not forget about the substance of these dishes – the pasta noodle. Thus this column will be focused on unraveling some myths and procedures in what seems to be one of the simplest tasks in the kitchen – boiling water and cooking pasta.

The first thing to examine is the dry pasta noodle and the transformation that takes place during the cooking process. The most obvious observation is that cooked pasta is larger in volume and flexible, compared to dry raw pasta. What makes this possible is the absorption of water during the boiling process. The cooking process of any food, no matter how simple it seems, needs to be analyzed because this is our chance of infusing flavour into the ingredients being cooked.

Everyone has heard of the process of salting water when boiling pasta, but few know or realize the reason why.

Some believe it is to help the pasta from sticking or to help keep the water from boiling over; however the reason is to season the pasta and to increase the flavour.

Pasta on its own is very bland, and combining bland cooked pasta with a sauce that you have perfected, will be a detriment to your finished dish. If the pasta water is salted liberally then the pasta will be absorbing salt-water, instead of just water, and thus your pasta dish will be seasoned from the inside out.

Another no-no is to add oil to your pasta water. This idea probably first came about to prevent the pasta noodles from sticking together, however it will affect your finished dish

negatively. Oiled pasta water will help to keep your pasta from sticking together when cooking, but a film of oil will always be left on the drained noodles. This thin film of oil will inhibit the starchiness of the cooked pasta and then in turn lead to the accompanying sauce to not stick to or absorb into the noodles as much. When pasta is eaten you want the starchiness of the pasta to hold onto the sauce as much as possible, so that the dish will be able to be enjoyed to the fullest.

That being said, drained cooked pasta should not be oiled for the same reason.

A better way to help prevent your pasta noodles from sticking together during the cooking process is to stir the noodles constantly for the first two minutes of cooking time. By that point the water will have returned to its full-boil action and the agitation of the bubbling water will keep the pasta moving and prevent it from sticking.

Once the pasta has been drained, do not rinse it. Rinsing will cool the pasta down and also wash away some of the starchiness that we want to help secure the

Chef Dez on Cooking

by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com sauce to the noodles.

Homemade “spaghetti” is a very common dish in many households, and whether you use spaghetti, linguine, or other types of noodles, I hope these few simple recommendations help to make your meal more enjoyable and flavourful.

Dear Chef Dez: What is the best way to tell when pasta is cooked?

Norma L. Maple Ridge, BC Dear Norma: There are many ways that people use to determine that pasta is cooked to perfection – including the old wives’ tale about throwing it against the wall, and if it sticks, it’s done. The best way is to let your mouth do the talking.

Carefully remove a

strand or piece of pasta from the boiling water.

After waiting a few seconds to cool down, take a bite. It should feel ‘el dente’, meaning ‘to the tooth’ in Italian. This relates to the feeling that the pasta should not be overcooked and offer some resistance when biting into it. It should not be hard, but should not be too soft and mushy either.

The package of the pasta you purchase will always offer a guideline cooking time, but your bite will always give you the right answer.

GOOD ‘OLE FASHIONED PICNIC – Wes Shupena, Nettie Bodnarek, Sam and Alice Oystryk are a few of Bentley Retirement Community residents who were recently treated to a summer picnic at Weinmaster Park. The event was hosted by New Horizons Senior Citizens of Yorkton. Everyone enjoyed the great food, and the musical entertainment volunteered by Peter Kobylka and Orville Drobot inspired a bit of “dancing on the green.” New Horizons seniors have partnered with seniors from Bentley Retirement Community to provide them with a change of atmosphere, conversation with other community groups, an opportunity to mingle with young families and children in the park and to create beautiful memories. The picnic was a huge success and New Horizons seniors are looking forward to inviting other community groups to such an outing in the future.

Teaching decision is a shared responsibility Con’t from Page 5.

These entities currently work with students, parents and communities to ensure the integrity of the public education system in Saskatchewan.

This unique collective responsibility is rare among professions and presents many challenges to the transition committee as it fulfils its mandate. Any proposed changes require careful examination of all components of teacher regulation, including education, certification, classification, supervision and evaluation, professional development, and standards and discipline. It is our opinion that focusing on only one or two areas of teacher regulation is an incomplete solution to a still unclear problem.

We find it curious to see how in the current climate there is more conversation regarding how not to proceed with this still evolving

process than there is to seek the sort of uniquely Saskatchewan model that has always been the hallmark of public education in this province. Agreed we are not in any great hurry to emulate the situations cited in either British Columbia or Ontario for a multitude of reasons, but we do need to come to a consensus on an effective, efficient model that provides continuing public assurance in the teaching profession, without unnecessarily straining the public purse or labour relations in the province.

The public can be assured that teachers want the best system possible going forward. It would be all too tempting to seek out singular answers at the expense of the strategic, fulsome approach that is required and it is too easy to merely paint the Federation as the scapegoat here, when our partners have an equal opportunity to influence positive change

in public education and the teaching profession.

It also belies belief that the Federation or its members would seek to hide or protect any teacher at the expense of students or the profession. When the Federation receives a complaint, we investigate comprehensively while adhering to judicial standards of fairness and due process in what are often emotionally charged situations.

We maintain that ultimately you do not raise the status of a profession by taking it away from the profession. Rather there is surely a critical role for the profession to lead the process and it is with this hope we have engaged in fostering whatever changes may be needed.

The farmer is trained – just horsing around

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Just when my wife went away for a week, Mother Nature gave us a drenching that lasted about 48 hours, which flooded half the province and will surely be remembered for a long time! Uffda! Marion wanted to scratch off one of her items on her “bucket list,” and together with her brother Willis, they had arranged for a week of riding in the Rocky Mountains, hosted by a back country outfitter near Banff, Alberta.

I drove her to Yorkton on the Friday, as we had a little bit of business to tend to, and she took the STC bus from there to Regina where her brother would pick her up. She had been mounting the eaves on our house before she left, but did not have time to attach the downspouts. I received a phone call in the evening that Friday, from a woman that inquired if I had put the garbage pails under the eaves where the down-

spouts were to be mounted.

She had to repeat the question a couple of times, because I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how she would know that.

Then she told me that she had been sitting next to my wife on the bus to Regina. They had talked about my newspaper stories as well as my book. “We had so much fun, it seemed like the bus trip only took about a half hour,” she said.

My wife called me later that night from her brother’s place, and I told her about the phone call. “I don’t know what it is,” she said, “there I sat trying to have some shut eye, and this woman nudged me, looked at me, and asked: “Are you the wife of that guy that writes the humorous articles in the paper, the farmer in training?” When Marion confirmed that she was, this woman announced that fact to the rest of the passengers. About half a dozen women from Yorkton, Melville and other places where my stories appear in the newspapers, gathered around her and wanted to shake her hand for put-

ting up with me. The BIG question is how did that woman know?

Oh well. We were advised that there are no cell towers in the Rockies, so she would be unable to use her cell phone, until they were back at the stable in Banff. She’s supposed to come home this Sunday, so I have been busy trying to keep the house clean and hoe the garden, drain the horse’s water trough, clean it and refill it. I hope to get the chicken coop cleaned out and readied for our little turkey and broiler chicks that will arrive next week.

Ole had learned to ride western style, and hired on at a ranch as a cowboy. While riding the fence line out on the range, he lost his favorite book The Heedless Norseman, somewhere out there while mending the fences. Three weeks later, a horse walked up to him carrying the book in its mouth. Ole couldn’t believe his eyes. He took his precious book out of the horse’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It’s a miracle!” “No,

not really,” said the horse.

“Your name is written inside the cover.”

A policeman in Saskatoon stopped Ole while driving his car with a miniature horse in the front seat. “What are you doing with that horse?” asked the policeman, “You should take it to the farm.” “That’s a good idea,” said Ole. The following week, the same policeman saw Ole driving with the horse again in the front seat, and both Ole and the horse were wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulled Ole over. “I thought you were going to take that horse to the farm!” said the policeman angrily, “I did,” said Ole, “we had a real good time there, but we are going to the beach this weekend!”

and asked the teacher another question: “How do you put a horse in the fridge?” The teacher thought about it and replied: “Oh I know this one, you open the door and put it in there?”

Lars smiled and said: “No, you open the door, take the elephant out, and then you put the horse in there.” Lars was beaming by now, and asked another question: “All the animals went to the lions birthday party, except one animal, which one was it?” The teacher became a bit confused and said: “The lion because he was there already?” “No, no,” said Lars, “the horse, because he’s still in the fridge.” Then Lars smiled and asked her just one more question: “If there is a river full of crocodiles and you want to get across it, how would you do that?” The teacher thought about it and said: “You would walk across the bridge.” Then Lars still smiling said: “No, you would swim across the river, because all the crocodiles are at the lion’s birthday party!”

WILLOWBROOK EARNS LONG AWAITED SESBL TITLE - The third straight league championship series between the Yorkton Yankees and the Willowbrook Royals. Tanner Nesbitt’s steal (below) helped secure a walkoff win in a 2-1 final on Tuesday night.

Willowbrook Royals win SESBL title

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

For the third straight year the SESBL Championship would be decided by familiar foes as the rivalry between the Yorkton Yankees and Willowbrook Royals continued for another season with both teams finishing successful regular seasons before outlasting the rest of the teams in the local senior baseball league to meet in the league final.

Perhaps it should have came as no surprise as both in the regular season and

in the postseason the Yanks and Royals have been a cut above the league, finishing atop the standings as well as the league final.

After the Yankees finished the 2012 and 2013 seasons as champions, the Willowbrook Royals would finish the 2014 regular season in first place with the best overall record in the league at 6-2. That record would beat the Yankees 5-2 mark as Yorkton would play seven games during the regular season, finishing 5-2. In the playoffs the Royals would dispatch of

the Russell Bulls before laying waste to the Swan River Reds while the Yankees path to the final included the Melville Bison and Langenburg Indians to set up what would be a chance at redemption for the Royals as well as a chance for a three peat for the Yorkton ballclub in a battle of two local teams with tons of Yorkton Minor Baseball roots.

For the Royals they would go into the series hoping to continue to represent the small rural village outside of the city of Yorkton, continuing a proud baseball tradition for

gan Calanchie both teams had shutouts going into the seventh inning before the Yankees scored a run in the bottom of the seventh inning to take Game One by a slim margin of 1-0 after impressive efforts from both starting pitchers.

Mark Pelham would be the walkoff hero with the game’s lone RBI, driving in the solo run in a seven inning game that would set the tone of close action and quality pitching as well as sound defensive play ruling the majority of the series between two championship caliber teams representing the quality of local senior baseball the Parkland has to offer.

the Willowbrook ballclub that has maintained its traditions even with a small population. Filling a roster mainly built on local ballplayers, the Royals went into the series hoping that this would be the year they won the SESBL title over the two time defending champions.

As for Yorkton, the Yankees would have the back to back league titles on the line as well as history on their sides with two straight championship series wins over the Royals giving the Yorkton team confidence.

Something that played a factor early in the best of five series in a tight Game One battle. In a close pitcher’s duel between Willowbrook ace Tyson Nesbitt and Yorkton’s Lo-

Willowbrook community enjoys league title glory Cont. from Page 10.

Unfortunately for Willowbrook as well as for the starter Nesbitt, the Royals would lose despite getting five hits on Yorkton as opposed to just one hit for the Yankees in Game One as the defending champions pounced on their lone opportunity at the perfect time to steal a win.

However unlike in the previous two years in the championship, a Yankees win to start the series would not be a sign of things to come as the Royals would bounce back in Game Two with Willowbrook coming out with a bang at home to begin the pivotal game to avoid falling behind 2-0 in the series.

Taking advantage of fielding miscues, Willowbrook would score four runs in the first three innings of play. Going up 2-0 in the bottom of the first before adding insurance runs in the second and third innings to get out in front as opposed to Game One where five Willowbrook hits yielded no runs. Making the most of opportunities in the second meeting, Willowbrook would hold off the Yankees to earn a 4-3 win off of a save by Tanner Nesbitt to even up the series.

The game would also feature controversy as Yankees outfielder Kurt Karcha was ejected for running over a Royals infielder at second base, striking his opponent with his forearm and earning an ejection as well as causing a skirmish between the two rivals who both saw tempers flare from time to time in an intense series.

Game Three of the series would be higher scoring as after tight affairs in the opening pair of games, the bats of both the Royals and Yankees got hot to put up a combined 13 runs in the rubber match of the series. Willowbrook’s bats ended up getting the job done, scoring eight runs in the best offensive performance of the series by either team in a huge 8-5 victory to set up Game Four in

Willowbrook with a chance for the community to win the league title at their home ballpark for the first time in over 30 years according to the city’s baseball history.

With Tyson Nesbitt making another start after a dominant Game One performance, Willowbrook entered the game with the attitude that this was the night that the series would be decided and would be facing a Yankees team that would be coming off a crushing loss to Carlyle in the Provincial Championship over the weekend. All signs pointing to the Royals having their best chance of a senior league title being decided at the Willowbrook ballpark with their ace on the mound and a motivated team looking to end the series at home.

That momentum was shifted early as despite another strong pitching performance from Tyson Nesbitt on the mound early, the Yankees would find a way to manufacture an early run to go up 1-0 and put the Royals on their heels. Not to be discouraged, the Royals would answer back by getting a leadoff hit in the middle innings before cashing in the runner with some good fundamentals to tie up the ballgame.

With their starter pitching another gem, this time it would be the Royals who would enter the final inning of the game at bat with a chance to walkoff and with Game Two closer Tanner Nesbitt leading off the youngest of a group of brothers on the Royals would help out his starting pitcher and older brother by working a leadoff walk to start the inning.

Going all out for the walkoff win in the bottom of the seventh, the Royals would advance the baserunner on a steal that would pay off as the throw to second from the Yankees catcher would be late. Following a sacrifice bunt to move the winning run to third with one out, a hit to the outfield would score the winning run on a walkoff

win in a 2-1 final to give the small local community a moment that made the Willowbrook Royals ballclub the happiest baseball team in the province on Tuesday night.

Winning pitcher Tyson Nesbitt, who allowed very few hits and fewer runs in his starts during the series mentioned that the local pride in the ballclub from players who farm and lived in the area made the win special.

“Having a group of players that have always played for the Royals or are from the area that sticks together is what makes this so special for us,” mentioned Tyson. “Most of the players on this team are farmers who hop off the tractor an hour or so before the game and come out to the ballpark where we help with maintain the grass, the bleachers, the infield so it is a real local effort of the whole of Willowbrook that brings us together.”

Nesbitt mentioned that playing with friends as well as family keeps the Royals bond tight.

“Most of the players on this team have played for Willowbrook most of their baseball careers from minor baseball and with the senior team we get to keep playing baseball together,” said Nesbitt.

“Getting to win a championship after losing the last two seasons in the final as well as winning a championship game in Willowbrook with friends and family is something that is pretty amazing.”

The Royals also noted that they will be hoping to pool together funds to help improve the local ball diamonds in Willowbrook to ensure that baseball is preserved in town for years to come.

Yorkton Yankees player/manager Mark Jacobs gave credit to the Royals for winning the series, lamenting that after losing the provincial final to Carlyle that the season did not end the way that the successful senior outfit would have liked after winning the SESBL title for two straight seasons.

“You can’t win the league every year,” lamented Jacobs. “It was disappointing to lose the provincial final and the league final to end our season, but it was a fun year playing with all of the teammates on the ballclub and we had a good year even if we didn’t quite get the last couple of wins.”

Jacobs added that they will hopefully be back next year to compete.

“It is never fun to lose and we have had success over the last few years so hopefully that can continue so we can get a chance at winning the title come next season with most of the guys returning.”

WILLOWBROOK WINNERS - Local farming community Willowbrook continued to be one of the best ballclubs in the SESBL as one of the top Parkland area senior baseball teams despite playing out of a village that is much smaller than their opposition in the competitive local senior league. A first place regular season record at 6-2 gave them the regular season title before a 3-1 series victory in the SESBL Championships over the Yorkton Yankees secured the team a long awaited championship after two straight losses in the league final to Yorkton. Local Willowbrook baseball fans and players claim it is the first senior title won at Willowbrook’s ball diamond since the early 1970’s.

Rider Report: Kory Sheets NFL tryout last chance

Kory Sheets is a preseason name that Oakland Raiders fans may want to get used to as the 2013 Grey Cup MVP looks to impress the coaching staff as well as the NFL as a whole in his return to the league following a trip to the CFL for the last two season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders where the now 29 year old rusher earned attention as a potential rare late bloomer at the position.

Sheets spent time with Miami and San Francisco out of college after a successful career with the Purdue Boilermakers, but due to injuries as well as some off the field troubles Sheets never earned a role in either franchise. Going to Saskatchewan for a last opportunity at a career in football, Sheets came to the Riders with a renewed focus and a motivated attitude that helped carry him to stardom in Canada along with a championship ring earned last season where he famously set the Grey Cup rushing record. lready on the NFL radar for his two 1,000plus yard rushing seasons with the Riders, the Grey Cup performance put Sheets on the watch list for Raiders fans when general manager Reggie McKenzie inked Sheets to a deal shortly after his CFL contract expired during the winter. Some cautiously noted Sheets age as well as his numbers coming against nonNFL defenses, but there was still excitement following Sheets entering training camp to see what the successful CFL rusher could do against a revamped Raiders defense in practice.

Entering the Raiders, the review of Sheets performances have been mostly positive with the veteran showing off some burst during the padded sessions on a long run in addition to impressing with the pass catching ability that the CFL demanded of him the last two seasons. Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle had went as far to suggest that Sheets will be getting the majority of the preseason reps at running back along with second year Raider Latavius Murray when the Raiders debut in August against the Minnesota Vikings.

Something that happened as Sheets took

carries for all of the fourth quarter, moving the chains on multiple occasions in his first NFL game since being a member of the Niners preseason roster.

Sheets told Levi Damien of Silver and Black Pride that he feels his first experiences trying to make NFL teams failed due to an immaturity that he has put behind him, admitting that immaturity likely cost him a spot on the 49ers roster despite being surprised that he didn’t make the team behind Frank Gore and Glen Coffee.

“I think I was more immature,” Sheets told Silver and Black Pride.

“Like most rookies are and most first and second year guys are. I was an immature player. I wanted to score on every play instead of playing the situation and I think that kind of got the best of me sometimes.”

Following his failure to make the Niners roster, Sheets entered the CFL in a humbling running back competition with the Roughriders where he had to earn a starting back job in the Canadian league with one of the most successful franchises of the 00’s in the Canadian league.

Eventually Sheets made it known to head coach Corey Chamblin that he was a cut above not only the rushers on the Riders roster, but everyone else in the league.

Missing action in 2013 being the only thing that prevented Sheets from becoming a 2,000 yard rusher in the two down Canadian Football League.

Having NFL options this offseason, Sheets was convinced by the Raiders that if he came to Oakland he would be given an opportunity to play should he leave superstar status in S a s k a t c h e w a n (Disclaimer: As a resident of Saskatchewan, trust me on the fact that Kory Sheets is a rockstar in a football crazy province) as well as a guaranteed featured back position for a chance at not only a NFL contract, but a chance at playing on the team’s 53 man roster.

Sheets mentioned to Silver and Black Pride that when he was negotiating his contract to come to Oakland that he was told that as long as he plays the way he did while in Saskatchewan that the Raiders will use his talents just like the Roughriders used Sheets abilities in the CFL. Leading to believe that Sheets chances of

making the roster may be better than what outsiders have been predicting. “[It] came down to where would my best opportunity ,” Sheets told Silver and Black Pride about why he chose the Raiders over other interested NFL teams. “They told me everything that I wanted to hear or needed to hear in order to make the best decision to come back to the NFL.” “One thing they said to me was ‘if you come in here and play the way that you’re capable of, you’ll definitely play.

We’re not bringing guys in here just to stand around and be bodies.

We want people to come in here and make an impact, make a difference’ and that was everything I wanted to hear.”

Sheets best contributions could come as a third down back for the Raiders, a player who could catch the ball in the open field and make defenders miss once he has it. With Latavius Murray holding the inside track to be the third running back on the depth chart as a 2013 draft pick with a longer future ahead of him than the 29 year old Sheets, the former Roughrider knows that he needs to make plays in order to stick around in the NFL during his potential final chance at realizing a life long dream to be a running back in the pros. Feeling that he will get a fair opportunity to make the Raiders 53 man roster, Sheets name is one to follow throughout August as he looks to prove that his production in the CFL will translate to success in Oakland.

What that will mean for the Roughriders is unknown as the Saskatchewan team has moved on well from life without Sheets in the roster, after all they brought in two vets in Hugh Charles and Jerome Messam who both have had success getting first downs as while during the first two months of the regular season for the defending CFL champions, who after struggling without Weston Dressler (who is currently with the Chiefs) the team’s defence has allowed them back into the tight West Division race as the CFL’s quality has remained mostly West of Ontario in 2014 with every team in the West holding strong records while the losing records have piled up in the East.

That has presented an early challenge for quarterback Darian

Durant, who has found scoring the ball without one of the best running backs in Riders history to be difficult. In fact, despite winning against the Bombers last Thursday in a big road win over winnipeg the Roughriders scored just three points on offence.

Two defensive touchdowns and plenty of pass rushing from the rejuvenated John Chick was the difference in the win, but without Taj Smith due to his legal troubles the offence remained stagnant last week.

It is hard to say that it was stagnant because of the running game thanks to Messam, who after falling out of favour in the league was given an opportunity to jump in with the defending champions and hasn’t looked back.

Even though the Riders did not score a touchdown with their offence, 126 yards rushing from Messam shows that the Riders run blocking will allow the team to keep playing the power football that head coach Corey Chamblin rode to success during the 2013 campaign.

Luckily for the Roughriders, adjusting to life without their star players in August while Sheets and Dressler try making NFL rosters has been getting easier and easier as success has been expectedly coming fol-

lowing their slow start to the season. Getting more familiar with a new look personnel on both sides of the football, a defence that has the best pass rusher in Canadian football in Chick and the veteran steadiness of Durant is looking much more likely to be able to compete for a second straight Grey Cup than they did at any point of a very forgettable July.

Playing lowly Montreal this week, life moves on further and further from Sheets but with fans following his progress closely it will be hard for many in the

province to fully give up on the chance of a player who became so popular in just two seasons coming back.

Whether or not Sheets can make the Raiders roster and stay in the NFL remains to be seen as Maurice Jones-Drew, Darren McFadden and Latavius Murray are all locks to be running backs on the team. That means Sheets must prove himself like he did in the CFL to make the team, don’t count him out, but many Riders fans can’t be blamed for wanting him to come back “home.”

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - Page 13A

Blue Jays lack of spending at deadline shame to Rogers Ruttig’s Rants is off this week, here is our column on the Blue Jays’ lack of spending at the trade deadline from July 31, 2014.

It was no secret during the 2013 Major League Baseball offseason that the Toronto Blue Jays ownership were on a mission to make a splash to drum up excitement over the team’s playoff chances in the AL East after two decades of missing the postseason behind the big spending New Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Bringing in Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes from the Miami Marlins and National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey from the New York Mets, the Blue Jays committed serious payroll for the chance to compete for a division title as well as a Wild Card spot in the hopes of restoring what used to be extremely high attendances at the Rogers Centre/SkyDome and of course increased television interest across Canada when the Jays were at their 90’s peak.

That didn’t happen in 2013 as the Blue Jays season was probably their most disappointing of the years the team has failed to make the playoffs since back to back World Series runs before the 1994 strike. Despite having Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay, and Carlos Delgado all star for the franchise at various points the Blue Jays could never put together a full 162 game season due to management, talent, bad luck and at some points a refusal to spend money to compete in a world dominated by high payrolls with no MLB salary cap. So when the Jays decided to finally reward their long suffering fans in Toronto and across the country and didn’t come close to making the postseason, it hurt even more despite the goodwill and hype that Rogers created by finally investing in the team.

With little expectations of contending for a postseason appearance in 2014 following the disaster of last season, the Blue Jays have seen a group of “no name” talents mesh with the teams prior investments survive unfortunate injury luck and a weak pitching staff to enter the days leading up to the trade deadline with a spot in the playoffs, but after investing large portions of money in 2013 the Rogers investing in talent to make the Jays a contender has magically went away at the worst possible time. New York is searching for whatever they can get to help Derek Jeter make the playoffs in his final season, Oakland is acting like the Yankees usually act at this time of year after becoming famous for not spending and have already picked up the most sought after pitcher on the market to bolster the rotation, and the likes of the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels already spent big during 2014 MLB Free Agency to push for a potential World Series run. Meanwhile the Blue Jays have made a small deal to add a depth infielder, but with Buehrle struggling in the rotation with no wins since the beginning of June the team could use one more starting pitcher or a re-

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig

liever to match their loaded lineup with a respectable pitching staff that can get the wins required in August and September to hold onto their lead for the AL Wild Card spot and potentially chase the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East title.

For Rogers the move to dump some money into the Blue Jays front office to make a pennant chase seems to be a no brainer. Every Jays game is shown on their long list of cable channels, all 162 of them having far more value to advertisers and the Sportsnet executives if they are getting ratings that reflect a team that is trying to become the first Canadian franchise to make the MLB Playoffs since 1993. Competing with only the NFL Preseason as well as the TSN-exclusive CFL during August, wouldn’t a big move on July 31 draw the viewers that Rogers wants to lure from TSN and onto Sportsnet all summer?

The television market also ignores the fact that the Jays typically struggle to sell tickets like all baseball franchises when they are out of the playoff race late in the season, something people who have watched a fall game during the past 20 years of Blue Jays baseball can tell you as there are a lot of empty blue seats at Rogers Centre when Toronto fans have given up hope. Holding their lead for the second Wild Card spot, that shouldn’t be a problem as there should be hope of the playoffs in

Toronto all season barring a losing streak at this point, but trying to avoid a one game playoff on the road the goal should be a potential division title and not to invest the hopes of the postseason on a one game series on the road should they finish second in the AL East and go the Wild Card route.

It should be said that Rogers spending has kept a talented nucleus around long enough in addition to the 2013 acquisitions who are producing much more this season, but the Jays ownerships lack of want to support their investment at a crucial period in franchise history is a shame. If only because of the fact that they poured money into the franchise at will just slightly over 12 months ago, which makes everything surrounding the Jays ability to make moves in the coming days to potentially secure a postseason result that means everything to Canadian baseball fans a reality.

In baseball, spending money at times is as important as anything that can happen on the field.

After all, the Boston Red Sox memorable first World Series wins only came once the team decided to enter an all-out bidding war with the New York Yankees. Teams succeed with what they have, but in a sport with 162 games payroll is going to show when depth is needed and especially in pitching, the Jays current weak spot. Manager John Gibbons has surprisingly did his best to manage the staff and on their current streak has found a promising young arm in Marcus Stroman as their new ace, but if a player is on the market who can bolster their pitching it is clear in the minds of many that the Jays need to do whatever is possible to make that move.

If the Jays front office do find a deal to bring in a proven talent at the deadline it is also Rogers job to invest in their franchise, and invest in the fans that they profit on with their round the clock promotion and coverage of the Jays. Selling the country on the concept of “Canada’s Team” it is time for Rogers to make an investment in the dreams of the Canadian sports fan. Something that once put the Jays franchise on the map ownership can do once again by investing in a baseball team Canada can believe in.
