BBBS show brings out a pair of Studebakers By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Show ‘n’ Shine brings together a wide range of car enthusiasts to raise money for mentoring programs in the community. This year, a total of 44 entrants came out to the show, raising a total of $3640, including a matching grant from the Wal Mart Women in Retail fund. One of the many highlights of the show were a pair of Studebakers, a 1961 Hawk owned by Harvey Litvanyi and a 1957 Silver Hawk owned by Robert Scheidt. Litvanyi’s ‘61 took home the Best Car trophy. Litvanyi’s Hawk was a Canadian model, one of 223 built in the country that year. It was also the end of the line for the Hawk model, with 1961 being the last year for that body style. The goal with the car was to recreate what rolled out of the factory over 50 years ago, Litvanyi explains. When he found it in Whitby Ontario, it had a fresh coat of paint but wasn’t drivable and didn’t have any trim on it. He says it he was lucky enough to find someone who had wrecked one in order to find the trim he could salvage, and says that Studebaker owners do share parts, but the body was the most difficult part of restoring the car, noting that a windshield is impossible to find, for example.

TWO STUDEBAKERS were a highlight of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Show ‘n’ Shine, with Robert Scheidt and Harvey Litvanyi (l-r) bringing out their 1957 and 1961 Hawks to the show. The show itself raised $3,640 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area, with all money raised going to support their mentoring programs. “Studebaker people do share parts at nominal fees. You have to, because there are none on the market, there are no reproductions of their parts,” Litvanyi says. Scheidt adds that part of the problem is that when you’re restoring a coupe like the Hawk,

you’re putting together a car that everyone wants to preserve. He says that it’s a bit easier to restore a sedan since there’s more unused parts out there. The car was a way to get back to his own past, Litvanyi says. “I owned an identical car in 1962 and owned it

for a couple of years. As the hobby grew in the past couple of years I decided that if I was going to get into it I’d try to replace what I had originally. I was lucky enough to find one.” The distinctive pink paint job on his car wasn’t his choice, Litvanyi

admits, but he says it’s also something that catches people’s eye, and thinks it’ something people are drawn to because it is so different. This is just one of 15 Studebakers Scheidt owns, and he says that has love of the brand began in 1965, when he bought a 1961

Lark when working Yorkton. “It was pretty much the fastest car in town when I bought it... Lots of power and nothing to haul.” He doesn’t know why he started collecting them, but started from rebuilding another Lark a hired man wrecked. He says he got hooked from there, and his collection grew as a result. People’s Choice, Mike Moors, 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro.

Sons of the Pioneers play to full house Tommy Nallie is the oldest member of the group, but when he first joined in 1983 he was one of the youngest, and he says this is how the group has continued to live over eighty years, a constant rotation. Young members learn the songs, get experienced with the group and eventually, when they’re the senior members, teach the songs to the new talent. There are members in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, Nallie says, and

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Sons of the Pioneers have become a tradition. Since its inception in 1933 with Roy Rogers – back when he was still known as Leonard Slye – it has become one of the longest running western vocal groups in the world. They played in Yorkton as part of one of the first Saskatchewan tours the group has undertaken.

that was the case when he joined, the difference is that he’s the member in his 60s today. The group is about keeping the music alive, and keep the tradition going. Nallie says that it’s an art that the group wants to keep alive. “The one thing about this type of music that a lot of the older people remember is that back in the ‘40s and ‘50s when they were growing up, and maybe even earlier, they remember

these songs being on the radio, and they remember that warm, fuzzy feeling they had when they were kids, mom and dad were there and there were no worries in the world. It brings them back there, and it makes us feel so good that we are doing that for them.” The sound is most defined by the harmonies, and Nallie says that it’s a sound that’s hard to copy because of the way the sounds are arranged.

“You sing where your range is, so if the melody of the line, then the tenor singer sings it, and if the melody drops down, even in the same song, then the next guy sings and the tenor is singing harmony. That’s why we tell them to keep the mics even and the same, don’t think the guy in the middle is singing the lead and the next guy is singing backup... They didn’t plan it that way, it just happened that way.” Ken Lattimore, who

joined the group in 1998 after a successful audition the year before, says that playing in Saskatchewan has been a long time in coming for the group, because the province has the same rural heritage. Some of the most famous songs for the group were written by a Canadian, Bob Nolan, and he says that it’s not that different from home in Texas, apart from the temperature.

Sons of Pioneers Cont.’ from Page 1A “People who live in rural areas like this, they really love western music, they love the really pure western music, and the music they heard with Roy Rogers in the movies so far,” Lattimore says. “Country music is inside and western music is outside. We sing about the prairies and the stars and the green fields, horses and coyotes,” Nallie adds. It is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for Lattimore, who has been

a life-long fan of the group and says it was about getting the chance to get to sing great songs, written by great songwriters in the group that originated. “Imagine the group you like the best, and actually joining them, that’s what it was like for me.” Given that the tour has gone well, both men hope to get back to Canada soon, and Lattimore adds that he has found it to be a beautiful province with wonderful people, and wants the chance to explore it again.

SONS OF THE PIONEERS – performed in Yorkton recently. The 81 year old group brought their western sound for a tour through the province, keeping the music of the group alive for old and young.

LT Motorsports are the local team at pulls By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton Truck and Tractor Pulls was a festival of horsepower, teams from across the prairies showing their high horsepower machines to entertain the crowds in the city. The local team, LT Motorsports, competed in each class at the event. The team consists of Brad Bloodoff, Geno Holowatiuk, Gerald Muzyka and Larry Hilworth. The team started with the revival of the Truck and Tractor Pulls, beginning with Maple Farm Equipment’s sponsorship of that show. The first tractor purchased was partially to ensure there was a John Deere in the program, Hilworth explains, but also to try out the sport. “I thought, I’m a John Deere dealer, we can’t have an International. I mean, we take those on trade, so I searched on the internet and found this John Deere.” The team then acquired Jet Blue, the only single-turbine jet tractor in Canada, partially to ensure that the tractor stayed in the country. Bloodoff says that for him, it’s an honour just to drive it. “That’s history, that’s a Saskatchewan history tractor,” Bloodoff says. After that, it came down to what people wanted to drive, which expanded to a lineup of eight pullers, with seven at the event. Those include mini-tractors Ratified, Punisher and Undertaker, which range

from around 700 to 930 horsepower, a modified 4x4 called Bob-Tail Rat which runs at around 1,068 horsepower and Prairie Rat, two wheel drive truck that has over 2,000 horsepower. “We weren’t looking for any of these things, except for the John Deere, they just came along,” Hilworth says. Bloodoff says each machine is a different experience. The two wheel drive truck is a balancing act, with a ton of power but a need to keep it balanced. He describes the jet turbine as a gradual build. “You realize how much power you are actually controlling.” Bloodoff says that it’s power at its harshest, and that coming from a drag racing background, the sustained run of a pull is something that makes an engine builder cringe. It’s been a rapid growth for the team, doubling in size from last year. Hilworth says that everything was bought online, site unseen, not just the pullers but the semis that transport them from location to location as well. He says they have had good luck with this method, and the man who sold them their first puller still helps and gives advice. The pulling community is tight knit, with everyone helping each other, which has been valuable to a relatively new team like LT. Hilworth describes a scene where everyone wants to win, but they want to win with strong, fair competition.

They’re the rookies of the sport, and Bloodoff says that means there’s nothing wrong with losing to the more experienced teams. But, since they’ve already got a fleet of nice vehicles, they are starting to get attention from the other teams. As much as it is about pulling down the track, it’s also about putting on a show. Bloodoff and Hilworth agree that it’s most rewarding when they can give kids the rush they got when they were in the audience years ago. “What makes it fun too is you’ll see some kids. You can see in their eyes that they would like to have that. We were kids too, and we sat in those positions going “wouldn’t it be nice to have that some day?” And now we’re there today, and now we’re trying to help the kids,” Hilworth says. In some ways it’s going back to his youth, Hilworth says, since he remembers the Boss Blue tractors at the Exhibition when he was a teenager. “You got this adrenaline rush from seeing this high horsepower.” The weekend was a good run for the team, with competitive results. Bloodoff says there was some disappointment on Friday, as Jet Blue was sidelined with mechanical problems, but overall they had good runs on both days. “When things work, it’s good and fun. When things don’t work, it’s not as much fun and kind of expensive,” Hilworth says.

KIDS AND KOPS – The Big Brothers Big Sister’s Kids and Kops program is a mini police academy, getting kids to spend time with local police, learn what it takes to be a police officer and learn how to help make the community a safer place. Irma Van de Bon-Nichol, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area, explains that they want to build a positive relationship between kids and police. She says this could also make a difference as kids grow up and consider the police service as their career. The program, which has been running since 1998, is funded by Sask Lotteries and supported by local business and the RCMP.

LT MOTORSPORTS was the local team at the Yorkton Truck and Tractor Pulls, with the team bringing a full compliment of vehicles across classes to compete over the weekend. Given that everything is fabricated, getting parts can sometimes be a challenge, even when it just comes to explaining what exactly they need. Bloodoff relates that finding a cutoff switch at a Polaris store in Meadow Lake caused confusion,

since a specific part number doesn’t exist when everything is custom. “The guy goes what’s it on, and I said ‘it doesn’t matter, because it’s not in your building.’” It’s a hobby for Hilworth and his team, and he says their main

goal is to simply enjoy themselves. Bloodoff says that it’s a lot of hard work, but it’s what he likes to do. “It’s fun, and when it stops being fun they were all for sale when I started buying them,” Hilworth says.

Parking should be free Charging for parking happens because of necessity. You pay a fee to park in a place because there is a premium on space, you put in parking meters and time rules because you want to get a rotation and free up space for other people. You must pay to park because there is no other alternative. Yorkton can’t quite justify making people pay to park, either downtown or at the hospital. Downtown, the issue is hardly a lack of parking, there’s plenty available at different times and locations. There are also many downtown businesses who will need the traffic to run their business and successfully attract clients, leading to the two hours free for everyone. The question becomes whether or not there is a purpose for having a two hour limit. If anything, it runs counter to the YBID Walk a Mile program, which encourages people to park and explore the city. It’s difficult to explore if you frequently have to run back to your vehicle in order to move it around. With the hospital, the implementation of paid parking has merely meant that people now go further afield to actually park. Initially, it was a nuisance for the people across the street, who finally blocked off the alternate lot everyone used and effectively ruined. Now, it just means people who can walk further out do, effectively becoming a kind of tax on personal mobility. While an able-bodied man might go a block away, someone with actual leg issues will be forced to stay in the lot, and grumble about the fees. A lot that used to be filled on a busy day is now half-empty at the best of times, as people find alternate ways of parking. In theory, it could be sold as an environmental measure, encouraging people to bike downtown instead of drive. While there is bike parking, it’s far from ubiquitous. On the other hand, by making everyone move their cars every couple hours, the rules are instead causing gas to be burned which would otherwise not be. Even if it did encourage everyone to bike downtown in the summer, this is still Saskatchewan, in the winter nobody is going to bike downtown. The fees themselves are nominal, of course, which actually makes it worse – it becomes extremely unlikely that anyone is actually making money on these rules in the first place. If the amount of tickets written pays for the salary of the parking enforcement officer it would be surprising. If it was extremely profitable and paying for major infrastructure improvements, it could be justified in that way, but this is highly unlikely. So why not just make parking free across town? There is little benefit to the current system for residents, and it’s questionable if there is any benefit for the city itself or the health region. Going free would be the most effective plan just because the current pay model doesn’t make any sense, the city simply isn’t big enough to suffer from a major shortage of parking, and the city’s downtown could benefit from getting more people into businesses in the area. So why not just take away the fines and fees and improve life for everyone?

Canada ranks sixth on human freedom index, far ahead of United States in 20th Canada ranks sixth overall for its level of human freedom while the United States ranks 20th in the Human Freedom Index, released today by the Fraser Institute and a network of international public-policy think-tanks. The index — which uses 76 indicators of personal, civil and economic freedoms to rank 152 countries around the world— is the most comprehensive freedom index so far created for a globally meaningful set of countries. The report includes rankings from 2008 to 2012. “Our intention is to measure the degree to which people are free to enjoy classic civil liberties—freedom of speech, religion, individual economic choice, and association and assembly—in each country surveyed,” said Fred McMahon, Dr. Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom at the Fraser Institute and editor of study. “We also look at the rule of law, which is essential for freedoms, as well as indicators of crime and violence, freedom of movement, limits on freedom due to sexual orientation, and women’s freedoms.” Hong Kong tops the rankings followed by Switzerland, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand rounding out the top five. Other notable countries are Australia (ranked seventh), the United Kingdom (ninth), Germany (12th), Chile (18th), and the United States, 20th. So, why does Canada rank higher than the United States, a country often referred to as the ‘Land of Liberty’? According to the data, Canada has better scores on security and safety, the rule of law and economic freedom which is based on personal choice, trade openness, freedom to compete, security of private property and judicial independence. “Over time the United States has seen an erosion of prop-

erty rights and an expansion of quasi-judicial regulations. The data also points to a significant weakening in the rule of law,” McMahon said. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s placement atop the list may surprise some, but McMahon notes that Hong Kong’s ranking benefits from its high economic freedom score. “While the freedom index doesn’t measure democracy, democracy has shown to be the best safeguard of personal freedoms. So, if China, which ranks 132nd in the world, encroaches on its one-country, two-system relationship— where liberty is protected under Hong Kong’s system—then we can expect Hong Kong’s ranking to deteriorate as some more recent data already suggest,” he said. Internationally, the average rankings on the index, by region, were highest for Northern Europe followed by North America and Western Europe, and were lowest for the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. The complete index, a joint project of the Fraser Institute, the Liberales Institut of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (Germany), and the Cato Institute (United States), is available as a free PDF download at www.fraserinstitute.org.

Take the middle of the road to look at pipelines Oil pipelines have become a wedge issue in this election, with people either against the entire concept or advocating as many pipelines as possible in order to move oil around the continent. The issue is one that has been marked with little talk about the relative benefits or disadvantages of pipelines over other methods of moving oil, instead it’s become about a judgement on oil itself, as a commodity. Many environmentalists will reject pipelines without a thought, seemingly with the logic that they move oil so they must be bad. That’s a mistake, because oil still has to move. Without a pipeline, you’re moving oil by ship, train, truck or any other method that can get a big pile of flammable liquid from point a to point b, and that needs to be considered when we talk about pipelines. Since the oil has to move anyway, pipelines should be considered relative other options. Any method of moving it is going to come with risks, as any number of coastal oil spills or major train derailments can attest. As a result, when you talk about oil pipelines, you have to ask if it’s the best option, and do studies of environmental impact and so on to decide whether or not the pipeline will be an improvement over the methods of transportation that currently exist.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Naturally the many proposed pipelines is going to get support in the west, because this is where oil comes from and everyone in the oil industry wants to move their product. From an economic perspective, they’re great, and this area of the country is going to be all for them no matter what. The problem with this approach is that by ignoring environmental impact, you’re giving ammunition to everyone who doesn’t want any kind of pipeline out of pure hatred of oil. The idea that the oil industry will benefit is not going to win the hearts and minds of anyone who doesn’t particularly like the oil industry in the first place. At a certain point it has become a battle where nobody is arguing about the same issue, or trying to understand the other side.

The problem is that just rejecting pipelines out of hand ignores that the current methods of transporting oil aren’t particularly environmentally sound as is, and when the alternative is a train or boat we’ve got to weigh that against the risks of a pipeline. If we are moving towards replacing oil entirely, it’s not something that is going to happen overnight or really any time soon, human society has become too oil dependant to turn off the taps completely. If a pipeline is going to prevent a derailment like in Lac Megatanic a few years ago, then it might be worth it. That’s why it’s a bad idea to reject it out of hand. On the other end, if a pipeline is a high risk of causing a disaster down its own line, then it’s a bad idea to embrace it entirely due to the economic advantages. This is a divisive issue where both sides of the argument are reacting in a knee jerk way rather than taking a calmer, more moderate approach. The solution is doing a thorough, independent study of the impact a pipeline could cause down its route, and whether or not this is going to be a safer option than what is currently in place. The results of any such study would tell us whether or not a pipeline is worth pursuing. As the sensible, middle of the road option, nobody’s going to take that, because we have become a bit too addicted to the extremes.

Your letter of the Week

Time to address corrections needs

We don’t need a big hearted Robin Hood

To the Editor:

The Saskatchewan government must acknowledge the crisis-level conditions in provincial correction centres and move quickly to address them, rather than claiming ignorance, says the union representing Saskatchewan corrections workers. “We have spoken out again and again about the dangerously overcrowded conditions in correctional centres,” said SGEU president Bob Bymoen. “Instead of taking action, the government has delayed the opening of facilities in Prince Albert and at Besnard Lake. They also cancelled an approved remand centre for Saskatoon, which has contributed to the severe overcrowding in all facilities. And, the government is surprised that inmates are complaining!” Bymoen was responding to an article in the August 12 issue of the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, “Province to look into inhumane jail conditions,” which refer-

enced a recent letter by inmates at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre that describes conditions there as desperately overcrowded and under-resourced. It states, “It’s no wonder inmates have started rioting.” In particular, Bymoen is concerned that the article said, “…the minister responsible for corrections and policing, Christine Tell, stated she was not aware of the allegations until they were brought forward to her staff by The Star Phoenix.” SGEU has been warning the provincial government about conditions within Saskatchewan correctional facilities for years, repeatedly reporting that inmates are crammed into every available space, including sleeping on the floors of classrooms, chapels and gymnasiums and have limited access to washrooms and showers. The problems have also been raised in numerous media articles, including an October 7, 2014

editorial in The Prince Albert Daily Herald that cited grim details such as inmates having to urinate in garbage cans due to the absence of bathrooms. At that time, the Ministry of Justice downplayed the concerns. In a 2010 news release, SGEU reported that “frontline workers have been telling management for years that the violence in the facilities is escalating due, in part, to overcrowding.” That news release also identified other dangerous issues such as under-staffing, sub-standard facilities and a lack of training. The same issues were raised in a 2014 news release, which announced that “chronic overcrowding and understaffing … is moving the corrections system closer to a crisis point.” And in March 2015, another SGEU news release pointed out that some inmates were going without washroom or shower facilities, and that overcrowding contributes to increased violence. These

are the same concerns that were raised in the letter by Saskatoon inmates. SGEU is alarmed that, after years of warnings from corrections workers and stories in the media about overcrowding and other escalating problems in the correctional system, the government is saying it didn’t know about the issues until the letter from the inmates. The union is also concerned that the government responded to the inmates’ letter by announcing an internal investigation with no clear timelines or goals. “This investigation needs to be done quickly to address a situation that remains inhumane for inmates and unsafe for correctional workers and communities,” says Bonnie McRae Chair SGEU’s Legal Inspection and Regulatory. “The concerns raised are not new — they have been raised repeatedly by SGEU. An investigation is long overdue.” SGEU

Beef producers outline election priorities To the Editor:

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) today released its Federal Election Priorities document with information for all candidates running for Parliament in the upcoming 42nd General Election on October 19. Generating $9.7 billion in farm cash receipts, the sale of cattle and calves was the largest single sector in Canadian agriculture in 2014. With 68,500 beef farms in the 2011 census, beef producers are both major drivers of the rural economy and can have a significant influence on the outcome on the election of Members to the 42nd Parliament. “Cattle producers continue to receive excellent prices for their cattle due to a tight global beef supplies and open markets,” said CCA President Dave Solverson. “As much as producers would like to respond to this clear market

signal and expand their herds and take advantage of these current market opportunities, other factors can negatively impact their ability to do so. This underscores the importance of a competitive industry supported by a science-based regulatory environment for Canada’s beef cattle sector.” The election priorities document outlines a number of issues that can help create the operating environment for beef cattle herd expansion in Canada, such as fully funding programs that help producers manage risk and investing in infrastructure. Once expansion takes place, secure access to high value and growing markets and policies that ensure the competitiveness of Canadian producers are the key to keeping the good times rolling. Investment in research and sustainable practices are major priorities for the Canadian beef sec-

tor. Access to sufficient labour to work on farms and to process the meat is a critical issue that needs to be alleviated. With insufficient numbers of Canadians willing to take these jobs and insufficient access to immigration, increasing numbers of live cattle will leave for processing in the U.S. and Canada will need to import more food. The CCA will be sending its election priorities to all the national parties along with a questionnaire seeking feedback on how they intend to address the various challenges for beef producers. As the responses are received, the CCA will post them, verbatim, on its website, www. cattle.ca, for cattle producers to assess for themselves. For further information, contact: Gina Teel, Communications Manager, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

Put focus back on film sector To the Editor:

The Sask. Party says it wants to find another use for Saskatchewan’s soundstage, and NDP Culture critic Cathy Sproule says that’s proofpositive that Saskatchewan needs to bring the film tax credit back. “We have a worldclass, state of the art, purpose-built $12 million soundstage right here in Regina,” said Sproule. “Just a few years ago, it was full. The film industry was booming, even developing programs to train more people to work in film in response to the

sheer volume of movies being shot there. “It was a $65 million per year industry for our province. And it’s all but gone. It’s time to bring back the program we know works.” A government spokesperson said earlier this week that the Sask. Party is launching an online survey that asks people if they have ideas for what to do with the now often-vacant stages where a steady stream of Hollywood movies were once shot. That deathknell survey comes after the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit was scrapped in March

2012. Nearly every other jurisdiction in Canada and the United States has a film tax credit. “I know exactly what the government should do with our worldclass soundstage,” said Sproule. “They should use it as a soundstage. In order to do that, the Sask. Party will have to admit it made a mistake by scrapping the film employment credit, and reverse that decision.” The NDP is advocating for a film credit that is competitive with what other regions are offering. Sproule said for every $1 million Saskatchewan spent on the film tax

credit, $44.5 million was generated for the province. Those numbers were verified by a study done by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. “Attracting films to Saskatchewan is a winwin,” said Sproule. “It’s great for the economy, paying for itself many times over. And it’s also a great source of pride. It’s a chance to show off our beautiful province and the talented film and video professionals from Saskatchewan – many of whom would love to come home to live and work in Saskatchewan again.” Erin Morrison, NDP caucus

To the Editor: Justin Trudeau recently told people in Saskatchewan that he plans to grow the economy from the “heart outwards.” It’s unclear what exactly he meant by this line. Did he mean that he’s going to grow the economy by encouraging Canadians to follow their heart and only do the kind of work they love? Maybe there will be a tax credit coming for hockey bloggers and street poets? Doubtful. Perhaps Trudeau meant he’ll start growing the economy by hiring heart surgeons to assist our aging population? Given that he’s looking to raise the taxes on highly-skilled, well-paid Canadians, such as physicians, that’s also doubtful. Whatever he meant, maybe that kind of sappy line sells in a focus group of political spin doctors in Ottawa. But here’s what the owner of a garage in Assiniboia, Sask. said when he heard the line: “that sounds like a lot of political smoke.” OK smart guy in Assiniboia, what’s your big idea? “The government should keep its hand out of my pocket.” Trudeau would do well to listen to the mechanic’s solutions for fixing the economy. Throughout this election, Trudeau has donned the feathered cap and green tights of Robin Hood while promising to tax the rich and give money to the middle class. But the reality is that the government doesn’t need more money from the rich or anyone else. What it needs to do is trim spending. Let’s start with a big ticket item: the Equalization program. The federal government currently collects $17 billion from Canadians and gives it to have-not provincial governments. And those have-not provinces don’t seem to be any better off as a result. If Trudeau is really concerned about Saskatchewanians, perhaps he could respond to Premier Brad Wall’s call to cut Equalization in half and use the savings to provide tax relief and infrastructure investments. Alternatively, perhaps Trudeau could pick a less divisive target: interest payments. Canada’s national debt is more than $600 billion. The interest payments alone are $26 billion. Every dollar in debt repayment results in fewer interest payments and more money that can go back to Canadians through tax relief. Unfortunately, Trudeau says he’ll only balance the budget if the nation’s finances are nice and tidy. It would be interesting to try that with the bank: “sure, the mortgage payment is coming, unless things get a bit tight.” Back at the garage, the mechanic is worried about oil patch work drying up. Comments from Liberal candidates about keeping Western oil landlocked doesn’t make his heart feel warm and fuzzy. He wants Canada to deal with reality rather than listening to platitudes. “It’s going to be hard here,” he says. “But we’ll get through it. We need to tighten our belts. But that belt tightening had better start with the government.” Todd MacKay is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation ‘Let’s Talk Taxes’ is a free opinion editorial provided every two weeks to media outlets and opinion leaders by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, August 20, 2015 - Page 7A

How to improve indoor air quality in winter Homes tend to be stuffier in autumn and winter. As temperatures outside dip, windows are closed and air quality inside homes can suffer. Poor indoor air quality can not only be uncomfortable, causing residents to experience headaches, dry eyes and nasal congestion, but also can be unhealthy. According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases, such as asthma. Though it’s not feasible or healthy to open windows when temperatures outside dip to near or below freezing, there are steps everyone can take to improve the indoor air quality in their homes. • Add to your décor with plants. Plants provide both aesthetic and practical appeal to a home’s interior. Houseplants can clean and purify the air in a home, helping to remove formaldehyde, benzene and other toxins that can make indoor air unhealthy to breathe. Benzene is an irritant that can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, and blurred vision, among other side effects.

Formaldehyde, which is often found in homes thanks to its widespread use in a range of products, can cause watery eyes, nausea and wheezing. • Watch what you are lighting up. Many homeowners know that smoking indoors drastically reduces indoor air quality, putting even nonsmokers at heightened risk of developing various respiratory ailments. Homeowners concerned about the indoor air quality in their homes should ban smoking inside, no

matter how low temperatures dip outside. In addition, homeowners with wood-burning stoves and fireplaces should be especially diligent maintaining these features, as they can release harmful soot and smoke if they are not taken care of. Some people may also be allergic to incense and scented candles, so keep a watchful eye on residents and guests whenever you light candles or sticks of incense. If any symptoms of allergies appear, avoid lighting any more

candles or incense, waiting until you can open the windows if you want to light any again. • Purchase an air purifier. Air purifiers are beneficial year-round, helping to remove allergens and particles from a home. High-efficiency particulate air filters, known as HEPA filters, are extremely effective at removing airborne particulates from the air inside your home. • Pay attention to pets. Like their owners, pets tend to spend more time indoors during

the winter. That means more fur and pet dander, the skin flakes in an animal’s fur or hair that can trigger allergic reactions, is likely in your home during the winter than in the summer. To combat this, bathe your pets regularly in the winter, making sure to wash the animal’s bedding in hot water on a weekly basis as well. • Open the windows when possible. Winter does not typically provide many opportunities to open the windows,

but you might get a few chances to let some fresh air in through the windows during winter. Make the most of these opportunities, and when possible crack the windows when you’re cleaning so dust and other particles that kick up have a path outside of your home. Clean interior air should be a yearround priority, but homeowners may have to go the extra mile to keep their homes’ interior air clean when winter arrives.

Consider adding tennant insurance to your back-to-school shopping list Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) is reminding post-secondary students who are renting this fall to consider tenant insurance. “Tenant insurance is one of those things where it’s really better to be safe than sorry,” FCAA Insurance and Real Estate Division Director Ian McIntosh said. “In a lot of ways it protects your peace of mind as much as it protects your property and your bank account.”

Tenant insurance may provide coverage for: personal property damaged or lost due to fire, water damage, vandalism, theft or other unforeseen circumstances; personal liability for injuries guests suffer in your rental; damage to the rental or surrounding properties; and living expenses if you temporarily need to find another place to live due to repairs, fire, or other circumstances. Your insurance pro-

vider will be able to assist you in selecting the coverage that best meets your needs. Coverage and exceptions to coverage will vary between different insurance providers and policies. Before buying a policy, read it carefully and make sure you know exactly what it does and does not cover. For more helpful information for firsttime renters, check out the FCAA’s top five tips for renters at www. fcaa.gov.sk.ca/rentaltips2015.

Using the moon to find other bodies

First, I’d like to apologize to those around Yorkton who might have been out to view the Perseids on the 12th. I was too, and so, of course, the City skies were muggy and humid and generally disappointing. Sorry. I’ll never do it again. The shower’s tapering off, but still active, so if you’re out, keep looking up, except maybe when crossing streets. Tonight (the 20th), the crescent Moon sets at about 10:30, and Saturn, a hand-span to the left, a half hour later. Seeing as the Moon is around again after a

couple of weeks vacation, we might as well use it to point things out. On the 21st, our moon will be about a fist-width (ten degrees) west of Saturn in the constellation Libra, and the next day, three fingers east in Scorpius. No excuses now for not knowing which light is Saturn. And, don’t be embarrassed about measuring distances with your hands; it’s dark. The other bright object low in the south west is the red supergiant star Antares, ten degrees south east of the Moon. It’s called a

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. supergiant for a reason; at 1700 times the diameter of our Sun, if it were to replace our Sun at the centre of our solar system, it would swallow up Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Global warming would cease to be controversial. On the 23rd the Moon passes through the diffi-

cult to spell, and almost impossible to pronounce, Ophiuchus. Just mumble the letters quickly, and move on. If you look beyond the Moon on the 24th, you

will be looking at Sagittarius and toward the centre of our galaxy, the core of the multibillion star pinwheel we call home. The Milky Way, essentially the stars that make up the arms of our galaxy, spreads out to the north east and south west. On August 25th, the Moon lies just two degrees (two finger widths) above Pluto in Sagittarius. Even if the Moon weren’t washing out the sky near it, Pluto

would still be a challenge. It is a speck among a multitude of other specs. Through my telescope under a dark sky, I know I can see it, but just have no clue which dot it is. It’s the proverbial needle in a hay stack. We’ll get to Neptune and Uranus, another hard to pronounce word, next week when the Moon continues to guide us across the southern skies visible from our own back yard.

KidsFirst - Deciphering why your baby is crying

Trying to figure out why a baby is crying can be, at times, both trying and frustrating. Your baby may be trying to tell you that they are hungry, need to have a diaper change, or just want to be comforted and cuddled by you. What can parents/ caregivers do? There is no set answer that will work every time. Try some of these ideas: Is your baby hungry? • Feed your baby slowly. • Take time to burp your baby throughout. • Enjoy this bonding time together. Look into your babies eyes. Does your baby need

a fresh diaper? • Wet/dirty diapers can be cold and uncomfortable. Does your baby want to be comforted? • Snuggle and cuddle your baby close to your chest. They will love to hear your heart beat. • Try giving your baby a massage. • Wrap or swaddle your baby in a soft, warm blanket. • Offer your baby a soft toy and play with them. • Give you baby a warm bath. These can be especially soothing. Provide gentle movement. • Gently rock your

baby. • Go for a walk together in a stroller, carrier, or sling. • Go for a ride in the car. Be sure that you secure your baby safely in an infant car seat. Provide relaxing sounds. • Play soothing music. • Sing or hum to your baby. Your baby loves to hear your voice. Never shake a baby! Remember that it is okay to ask for help! Ask friends and family for help. You can also talk to your Public Health Nurse, your Child’s Doctor, your Local Hospital, Health Clinic or Healthline.
