PIONEER DAYS – Children’s Pioneer Days at the Western Development Museum gives kids a chance to learn how things were done in the past, with handcrafts, cooking skills and pioneer activities. Pictured above, the kids get ready for a wagon ride.
York Road study planned By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer The city’s engineering department has been granted a request to undertake a $75,000 study to review the transportation and drainage network along York Road and Sully Avenue. “Engineering Services is of the opinion that this type of study should be completed in advance of any development within the subject property so that if any infrastructure improvements are required, these can be identified ahead of when development occurs,” said Gord Shaw, the city’s Director of Planning and Engineering to council Monday evening. With plenty of interest being generated from surrounding businesses in discussions is a plan to develop approximately 20 acres of a 96 acre area with more work to happen in the future. “This are already experiences significant truck traffic because of the canola crushing plants and other facilities in this general area.” And with that said, Shaw adds, the large parcel of land involved is likely to see increased development within the next two years.

“It is apparent from discussion with the company’s engineering team that some building will commence on the site in 2015. Given its strategic location, once this happens, other serviceoriented businesses will likely develop the remaining portion...” Shaw says ongoing discussions have made it apparent the amount of traffic in the area could have repercussions on the transportation network. There are also drainage concerns. Conducting a transportation study will help reduce potential traffic problems as well as it may lead to further discussions about the transportation network to service the North Industrial lands south of Grain Millers Drive. The cost of a study comes in at $75,000 which Shaw says will be funded through the Planning & Engineering Department’s operations budget. “It is extremely important that the city is proactive in dealing with the transportation network to ensure future intersection issues can be eliminated as much as possible. Given the amount of traffic projected for this area, we want to ensure that future traffic needs are identified well before they are needed.”
DRIVE CAREFULLY – Speed and undue care and attention are not a great idea when you’re behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Pictured above is an example of what can happen – this is a scene captured on Darlington Street at Sixth Avenue last week.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, August 21, 2014 - Page 3A FORMER YORKTON RESIDENT Shannon Kuspira (bottom right), is undertaking the cycle trip of a lifetime to help children in need. She would love some local support.
Tower to Tower for sick kids By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A former Yorkton resident is in training to undertake the ride of a lifetime which will help kids in the process. Shannon Kuspira now lives in Blackpool, England and she’s training for a Tower to Tower ride, cycling from Blackpool Tower to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, in order to raise money for Brian House, a children’s hospice in Blackpool. Kuspira says the goal was to create a big challenge for the year as a way to give back to the community. Right now, she is at Crystal Lake (near Yorkton) training. She says the bike she is using is rented from
Hometown Source for Sports and that it has been a major help in getting her ready for the big trip. She admits that it’s going to be a challenge no matter how much training she does. “I don’t know if anything can prepare you for it, the consecutive days will be difficult.” Her goal is to raise £20,000 for the refurbishment of rooms at the hospice, as well as a planned sensory hallway in the hospital. She says that since she has seen how a seriously ill child can affect an entire community, supporting the charity was something that made sense. She also notes that Brian House is entirely funded through donations.
“It’s really for high dependency kids and kids with terminal illness, they use it for respite for a lot of families as well.” As she trains in the area, she says she’s working to get increasingly far each time, and she will reach Yorkton on her final day of training. She says that she’s always known the value of giving back to the community and what it can mean in the lives of the people around her. “I came from a small town, and it’s a small town where we live as well, so it’s just nice to give something back.” To help Kuspira with her goal visit: www.justgiving.com/ t2t2014blackpooltoparis/ or donate at K.W.

September 14 is CFUW Day in Yorkton
By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer
Following a presentation at Monday evening’s regular meeting of City Council, the city officially declared September 14 as Canadian Federation of University Women’s (CFUW) Day in Yorkton as it has been designated across the province. The CFUW is a non-profit, non-partisan organization comprised of women’s university graduates who work together to promote women’s equality and education. “For over six decades we have actively participated in public affairs through education, advocacy and action,” said Eileen Harvey,
President of the local CFUW branch to council Monday. CFUW Yorkton Inc. is afilliated with the Provincial, National, and International Federation of University Women. It is selffunded and bilingual with members in all provinces. Historically and locally, CFUW members have been involved in: • enabling the establishment of the Parkland Regional library; • promoting kindergarten in schools; • assisted with the screening of films for the Yorkton Film Festival; • holding forums for town meetings; • helping in the preparation of a
survey and lobbying for a recycling program in Yorkton; • preparing a resolution of Sustainability of Grain Production; • Distributing pamphlets to parents regarding the implication of war toys; • submitting briefs to government. The CFUW also sponsors five local scholarships. As such, on September 13, a special reception will be held at the Godfrey Dean Art gallery beginning at 9:30 a.m. “The day will serve as an ideal opportunity to help raise awareness of our organization and its commitments.” Residents are encouraged to stop by to say hello and learn more.

CIC announces meter review The province has announced the Crown Investments Corporation (CIC) is set to conduct a thorough review of the SaskPower smart meter program. CIC President Dick Carter said CIC will engage independent experts to look at procurement and contract management of the smart meter program, safety issues and cost recovery options, which could include legal action.
“There will be a public report issued at the conclusion of the review, with findings and recommendations,” Carter says. “Were sound processes followed by SaskPower in selecting the meter supplier and installer? What was the cause of the fires? And what recourse is available to recover costs? These are some of the questions that need to be answered by this review.”
PricewaterhouseCoopers will review procurement and contract management. The firm has written several reports that are available online regarding smart meter implementation in various parts of the world. CIC has also engaged Saskatoon law firm Robertson Stromberg and engineers Ritenburg and Associates of Regina to provide advice on cost recovery options and safety issues.

Common sense prevails There is still a good portion of August left and while it may seem like it should all boil down to good old fashioned common sense, there’s no harm in reminders. Environment Canada has issued a heat alert for the southern part of Saskatchewan with residents being asked to take precautions to protect themselves. “Extremely hot summer weather increases the risk of heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker comments adding, the majority of heat-related illnesses can be prevented by keeping the body cool and by remaining hydrated. Most at risk are children under the age of four, the elderly, the obese and persons with chronic diseases because their bodies do not transfer heat as effectively. Werker cautions residents that exercising during hot weather, working outdoors, and overdressing for the environment all increase your risk of heat-related illness. Drinking alcohol also increases your risk of dehydration. There are ways to avoid problems – drink plenty of water. avoid strenuous activity in hot, humid weather, wear light-coloured, lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a hat, preferably with a wide brim. Take frequent breaks in the shade, take a cool shower, bath or sponge bath. Avoid consumption of coffee, colas, and alcohol as they tend to dehydrate the body. Use fans and whatever you do, NEVER leave children or pets in a parked car. It really boils down to common sense and taking care. There is still some summer left to enjoy, just do it safely!
All aboard! That’ll be $10 million
I get the idea that we want to be prepared in the event of a real emergency, but spending $10 million just to create a grand fake one? Really? Later this month the federal government is reportedly planning to enact a scene like straight from a movie set. It will be a tragic accident, people will die (virtually of course), a large scale rescue will take place and we the Canadian taxpayers, will foot the bill without ever getting the opportunity to witness it. Hmmm... The scenario is a test called Operation Nanook. It’s slated to take place this week in fact, in Nunavut. It’s an annual happening that has been occurring since 2007. It involves more than 800 Canadian Forces personnel, emergency responders and civil servants. This year in the plan, a wayward cruise ship will leave its port carrying 200 people. It will hit a chunk of ice and then eventually run aground where the “captain” will order passengers to abandon the ship. More problems will arise, there will be fatalities and severe injuries (all fake hopefully). There will be helicopters and aircrafts. Everything will look realistic but the entire event will actually be simulated. The goal they say, is to test emergency response capabilities. The price tag
for this little scene? Ten million smackaroos. Wow. That’s some costly training. Why not film it and sell the movie rights to recoup at least some of the expenses Like I said, I understand the importance of being prepared but this is a pretty annual expense to incur Shannon Deveau big when the country has so many other financial hurdles to maneuver. We have homeless, we have hungry, we have health care struggles and unemployment. I realize that we’re far better off than in many other countries around the world but there are definite issues that need attention. With that said, can we really afford $10 million a year to create false problems? Aren’t there smaller scale tragedies we could dramatize? If a real emergency unfolds we would all like to think there are capable hands about to help us out, but that’s where work training and schooling come in. That’s where you rely on what you’ve learned and trust in your skills. In an ideal world we would all like the chance to simulate “what ifs” to see how things would unfold but this is not generally the case. I see the end goal here but it’s a luxury concept if you ask me. Happenings like this should be part of regular training and not a glorified taxpayer expense that may or may not ever be needed in the real world.
The way I see it... Column
Retail price gap can’t be solved by government The federal government is attempting to close the retail price gap between the US and Canada. It’s a noble goal, one that I can get behind in theory, since I don’t like the way companies will add an arbitrary amount of money onto Canadian products. Electronics in particular are bad for this, with Sony’s Playstation 4 being $50 more in Canada seemingly only because they found a way to charge extra money. The problem with any such plan is that it’s basically impossible to implement. There are loopholes here, giant loopholes which it is impossible to really fill. The first loophole is relatively simple, Canadian products would be slightly different than American products, enough to make it very difficult to actually compare the two. Even without incentive to do so, companies will already vary what each country gets based on things like buying patterns. With some big ticket items like cars, Canadian and US versions are different because of different regulations in each country, mandating some alterations just because, for example, Canadian bumper standards are more strict. There’s enough potential for variation that increased costs, on some level, could be justified and rolled into the price. Sony’s blatant PS4 price gouging can be justified if they throw in a cheap bonus, in essence.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Then you’ve got the general supply chain justifications. If I were to buy an apple in a store in Yorkton, it would cost significantly cheaper than an apple purchased in Yellowknife. That’s an extreme example, given that Yellowknife is remote, but Canada is a place that has some people but a great deal of land. This means that shipping costs are going to be high here, that’s an inevitability, but it also means that shipping costs can justify price variation within Canada, let alone in comparison to products south of the border. Gas varies from town to town, after all, as does the price of basically anything you can name. Smaller places have to price higher just because of economies of
scale. Then we have the standard problem of how on earth you’re going to regulate this. There are naturally going to be some obvious examples, I said one in the opening paragraph in fact, but there will also be a lot of ways that companies will fight the law, and people will have to pore over the minutiae of shipping and suppliers in order to see if there’s really a justified reason for the extra cost. All of these people will have to be paid, all of their pay will come from taxes since this is a federal agency. So we’re going to be paying for the difference anyway. The trick is with Canadian citizens frankly, vote with your wallet. If companies can charge more for things, so don’t let them. This is easier with some things than other, but essentials like food are going to be varied from place to place anyway. Non-essentials like electronics or entertainment products are tempting, but if you don’t think the price is right, the money can stay in your wallet. That way, it becomes increasingly difficult for companies to justify adding a Canada tax to items just because they can. I’m not someone who thinks that the free market can solve all things, but consumer goods are driven by what people are willing to actually pay for things. Don’t pay for things if you think they’re more expensive than they’re worth.

Pharma plays pivotal role
Nothing to fear
To the Editor:
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is unlike anything we have seen since the virus was discovered in the mid1970s. It has afflicted too many people, and the death toll is climbing. There is no previous Ebola outbreak to match what is currently happening in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and, most recently, Nigeria. The numbers – and the stories coming from the afflicted regions – are heartbreaking. You may not know that Canada’s pharmaceutical companies and life sciences sector are playing a pivotal role in developing medications to treat and prevent devastating medical conditions such as Ebola. It is a role we take very seriously. In fact, our innovative pharmaceutical companies actively contribute to more than 140 programs that benefit African nations. These partnerships save lives, and not just by ensuring access to live-saving medicines and vaccines. Our combined efforts are building hospitals and clinics, training healthcare workers, ensuring access to staples like clean water and constructing roads that enable the movement of people and goods to and from the areas most in need. Our efforts are mak-
ing significant progress on diseases like HIV/ AIDS, malaria, dengue fever and tuberculosis. But, as we are seeing in West Africa right now, there is no question that more can be done. Unfortunately, developing new medications and treating the ill isn’t as easy as building a new road or even ensuring a clean water supply. It takes more than a decade of research, development and testing - at a cost of more than $1 billion – to bring a new medication to market. With treatments and vaccines for the Ebola virus, we are close. Several experimental drugs have been developed, but these are not ready for mass use in humans. While results in animals may be promising, there is no guarantee that success will be replicated in humans – despite the experimental medicine’s encouraging results. The process of developing new medicines takes time and ensures that those molecules or compounds that do make it to market are safe and effective. At the moment, most critical is the early diagnosis of patients with Ebola and ensuring they are isolated to prevent its transmission. The healthcare professionals on the ground in West Africa right now are to be admired
for their tireless devotion to achieve this, while putting their own health at risk. It is clear that education is as important as medicine in addressing what is happening in West Africa. Infrastructure, clean water, training, and access to medicines are also key components needed for creating a better healthcare system in the developing world. The global pharmaceutical community currently has 220 active partnerships around the world to ensure healthcare projects are making a difference. Since 1990, our members have donated over $265 million in medication through Health Partners International of Canada, which translates to 11 million treatments in more than 110 countries. It is short sighted and, quite frankly, wrong to imply pharmaceutical companies are sitting on the sidelines and not contributing to healthcare efforts in the Developing World. In West Africa and elsewhere, we are actively delivering lifesaving medicines and vaccines, part of a global effort that is trying to bring basic healthcare to the estimated one-third of the world’s population that do not currently have access to it. As a matter of fact, some of our companies are working toward
a solution. Medicago Inc. a biotech company from Quebec, is working with partners on developing antibodies for Ebola. Medicago is also responsible for developing vaccines for other diseases such as Influenza, Rabies and Rotavirus (according to the World Health Organization, Rotavirus A causes approximately 500,000 deaths per year, most of which are concentrated in geographic regions with few resources). Abbott, AstraZeneca, Bayer, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and Sanofi are partners in research on new tuberculosis medicines, with the goal to create a regimen that will cure tuberculosis in one month as opposed to the six months it currently takes. Just recently, and after many years of research, GlaxoSmithKline announced it was submitting a regulatory application for its malaria vaccine candidate. It is estimated that malaria kills almost one child per minute. A vaccine that can help prevent that loss of life would be a tremendous health achievement. These examples paint a picture of our commitment to the Developing World, but the list goes on. This global effort is simply a part of who we are, and of what we do. Russell Williams, Troy Media Corp.
Government needs to be accountable To the Editor:
The Saskatchewan Green Party has learned that the Sunrise Health Region has allegedly aggregated the distribution of prescription drugs through one pharmacy in Yorkton. It is alleged that just one pharmacy in the Health Region will distribute prescriptions to hospitals and care homes within the Health Region from now on. If this allegation is true, then a number of questions need to be posed: • Was the decision allegedly made to drop small town pharmacies in the Sunrise Health Region from distributing prescriptions to the hospitals and care homes in favour of just one pharmacy? • Was the alleged choice of the one pharmacy in Yorkton opened up for public tendering?
• How was the alleged decision made to go with one particular pharmacy? • If this centralization decision was allegedly made, what is the justification for cutting off the small town pharmacies without giving these businesses a chance to replace their lost income? • How much did it allegedly cost the Sunrise Health Region to carry out the centralization? • Was any research done by Sunrise or the Ministry of Health to justify this alleged centralization? • Has the Sunrise Health Region or the Ministry of Health launched a process for monitoring the short and long term effects of this alleged centralization? The alleged centralization of distributing prescription drugs within the Sunrise Health Re-
gion institutions, if true, is devastating to the economies of the towns and villages with the affected pharmacies. If the alleged decision was made to centralize these prescription drug distributions, then it’s a case of the Wall Government picking winners and losers in East Central Saskatchewan. Premier Brad Wall and Health Minister Dustin Duncan need to provide answers to these questions about the alleged centralization scheme; this government needs to be accountable to taxpayers or stand aside when the next election comes in 2016.

Was he a solitary rogue acting alone? To the Editor:
The big political news this past week was the long awaited verdict in the infamous “robocall” trial of Conservative staffer, Michael Sona. He was convicted of committing “election fraud” in the Guelph constituency in 2011, and is now awaiting his sentence. Sona was accused and found guilty of participating in an elaborate scheme to prevent vot-
ers in that year’s federal election from casting ballots against the Harper government. This perversion of democracy took place when some 7,000 eligible voters received automated “robocalls” on election day telling them, falsely, that their poll locations had been changed at the last minute. Those phone messages were lies, and the only thing the 7,000 voters had in common was
their intention NOT to vote Conservative. The attempt to suppress their votes – i.e., election fraud – was obvious. That Michael Sona was convicted was no great surprise. What is surprising – and troubling – is the clear and common view among the trial Judge, the prosecutor and the defence counsel that Sona was not likely a solitary miscreant off on a romp of
his own, but must have had some help. This contradicts the Conservative line that Sona acted alone. Even though he was one of their most faithful soldiers, his Party quickly threw him “under the bus” to take all the blame all by himself. But is that credible? The Defence, the Crown and the Judge all think not. Continued on Page 6.
To the Editor: We live in a digital age. Technology has become an integral part of how we see, learn about, and interact with the world. From computers at the office, to televisions at home, to smartphones on the bus or in the grocery line, many of us spend over half of our waking lives in front of a screen. Naturally, some of us have begun to worry about the effects this may have on our mental and physical well-being, and this concern reaches a fever pitch when it comes to our children. A number of unsettling studies have associated excessive screen time in kids with numerous adverse conditions, including ADHD, obesity and depression. But despite our fretting, technology isn’t going away, and simply cloistering our children from it is neither beneficial nor practical. To succeed in the modern world, children will need to embrace technology without being consumed by it. And the difference between these two fates lies in the hands of parents. Children interacting with their caregivers foster what’s called a serve and return relationship – baby serves up a smile, mom returns it with one of her own. This intellectual give-and-take not only helps build and strengthen synapses - the connections between brain cells vital to complex thought – but also mediates the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that is important to our survival but highly damaging in high doses. And since children’s stress response systems haven’t yet fully developed, toxic levels of cortisol are a real problem. Prolonged exposure to cortisol in childhood is linked to a number of intellectual and behavioural problems, many of which linger into adulthood. Tapping away in their bedrooms, children may very well be experiencing a kind of happy neglect, gleefully surfing or gaming while their lower minds struggle to process the endless stream of information pouring into them. But an important distinction must be made: when it comes to feeding hungry brains, tablets and laptops aren’t inherently toxic. A recent study found that video games can disrupt children’s social and academic lives, but that this effect was entirely mitigated by a strong parent-child relationship. In households where this bond was strong, the pathologies associated with video game use - poor grades, antisocial behaviour and the like - simply didn’t occur. What’s more, setting restrictions on children’s video game habits had no significant effect on behaviours. While we don’t take these findings as an excuse to let children run wild with their console of choice (nor, we presume, do the study’s authors), we do feel that they highlight an important and often overlooked point: technology is neither good nor bad. It’s what we make of it that matters. If children grow up in a loving, supportive home, a few hours spent playing Call of Duty isn’t going to warp their minds. In fact, computers, tablets, and even video games can be a great way for parents and children to bond. Continued on Page 6.

The farmer is trained – summer shenanigans Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. My wife is back! Even though she thoroughly enjoyed her week in the Rocky Mountains, she has come to the conclusion that she is indeed a flat lander rider. Traversing the side of a mountain on a very narrow trail while on horseback, with a 100 feet drop on one side and the side of the mountain on the other side might be exciting she said, but galloping across a meadow on the prairies with the wind blowing in her face is more thrilling! In any event I’m very glad to have her back safe and sound. We had to finish off the eaves, so I fired up the 4020 and lifted Marion up in the bucket. First she had to replace the facia boards on the last section, which included the removal of the old weathered boards. I teased her a little bit about the girlie way she was using the hammer, holding it with both hands, banging the board around the nail to scare the nail so it would jump in by itself! She’s a good sport, and took the ribbing in stride, because she needed me to operate the tractor bucket. With the facia boards in place, she mounted the last section of eaves. She did a real good job, but of course now that we have the eaves in place, the sun came out and no more rain! We had to test them with water to check
for leaks. Marion climbed up on the roof, and I handed her the garden hose. Our garden hose consists of three different hoses coupled together. The last section is one of those newfangled collapsible flex hoses. In any event, I turned on the water while Marion was holding the end of the flex hose loosely in one hand. The village had turned off the water for about an hour a couple of days ago, to do some service work on the pump or something like that, so there was some air in the line. The water shot out of the hose, and it slipped out of her hand. Then the water stopped as the air emptied out of the line. When the water stopped, the flex hose shrunk back, the end of the hose got caught on an eaves bracket with the end hanging down over my head, I was about to grab it when the water burst out of the hose again and drenched me from head to toes. I looked like a wet cat. My wife, who is usually very sympathetic, could not contain herself and just roared with laughter! “That’s what you get for teasing me,” she laughed. After having turned off the water, we repeated the process, and she held on tight to the hose this time. I turned on the water again and she flooded all the eaves, and then she resealed the joints where there were small leaks. The following were questions on a recent test for grade four students, and some of the interest-
ing answers (my notes in italic): Q: Name the four seasons. A: Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar. (Pass the garlic.) Q: Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to drink. A: Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists. (We only flirt with canoeists!) Q: How is dew formed? A: The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire. (Close enough!) Q: What causes the tides in the oceans? A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight. (Must be when the sun gets mooned!) Q: What guarantees may a mortgage company insist on? A: If you are buying a house, they will insist you are well endowed. (It might help, but insist?!) Q: What are steroids? A: Things for keeping carpets still on the stairs. (OK! Better you don’t know) Q: What happens to your body as you age? A: When you get old, so do your bowels and you get intercontinental. (Yep, it happens on any continent!) Q: What happens to a boy when he reaches puberty? A: He says goodbye to his
boyhood and looks forward to his adultery. (Well maybe some boys do, but not all of them!) Q: Name a major disease associated with cigarettes. A: Premature death. (That’s pretty major!) Q: How can you delay milk turning sour? A: Keep it in the cow. (Hmm!) Q: How are the main parts of the body categorised? (e.g., abdomen.) A: The body is consisted into three parts - the brainium, the borax and
the abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain, the borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels, A, E, I, O and U. (What happened to the consonants?) Q: What is the Fibula? A: A small lie. (Including this answer?) Q: What does “varicose” mean? A: Nearby. (Nearby what?) Q: What is a seizure? A: A Roman emperor. (Really?)
Q: What is a terminal illness? A: When you are sick at the airport. (Before or after going through security?) Q: Give an example of a fungus. What is a characteristic feature? A: Mushrooms. They always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas. (Not like a Toadstool in a toad bar?) Q: What does the word “benign” mean? A: Benign is what you will be after you be eight. (OK then!)
JOIN THE FAMILY – Hey there, my name’s Bailey, I’m a six month old male Husky cross. I’m looking for a loving, responsible family and I know there’s someone out there who would be a great match for me. So come by the SPCA or call 306-7834080 to learn more.
Solitary rogue acting alone Con’t from Page 5. Furthermore, in a separate court case last year, a Judge of the Federal Court hearing other robocall evidence made the explicit finding that election fraud did, in fact, occur in a number of places in the 2011 campaign, and the most likely source of the information used to identify susceptible voters was the Conservative Party’s massive and highly secretive database. So who could get access to that database? And how? What was the system for skimming off the names to be misled? Who devised the technology? Was the system hacked? Has any such hacking been reported to police and investigated? Why did one of Sona’s Conservative colleagues have to get an immunity agreement from the Crown before he testified – immunity from what? Why did another key player in the Conservative campaign refuse even to be interviewed by Elections Canada, and then suddenly moved to Kuwait? Troubling questions call for answers, but they won’t be forthcoming from the Party brass who maintain that Sona was
just a devious one-man show run amuck. So the burden of getting to the bottom of this affair and protecting the integrity of our democracy falls to Elections Canada. But wait, the Harper Conservatives have just changed the Elections Act. The power to investigate election fraud is no longer vested in Elections Canada (an agency that reports to Parliament). Instead, it now comes under the wing of the Department of Justice (an integral part of the government). Those who carry the investigative responsibility have a steep hill to climb to demonstrate their independence and their unfettered determination to protect the public interest. And furthermore, the investigators still don’t have the power, requested by Elections Canada but withheld by the government, to compel reluctant witnesses to disclose what they know about bad behaviour. That power could make a difference in dealing with someone seeking an immunity deal or considering a quick trip to Kuwait. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.
There is no fear in technology Con’t from Page 5.
So if you’re a parent, read up on your child’s favourite topics on the Internet. Watch TV together and talk about what you’ve seen during the commercials. Play Angry Birds or Draw Something or Fruit Ninja. Whatever you do, make it interactive, and make sure you and your children do it together. By putting aside this shared computer time, parents can give their children the chance to develop the full range of skills – technical and social – they’ll need to succeed in our digital age. Parents can also help ensure children don’t overload themselves on screen time, and buffer the flow of stress chemicals in their overstimulated systems. Unsupervised use of technology becomes less of an issue as children grow, since they’ll develop a greater capacity for time management and an ability to moderate their own stress response systems. But online or off, it never hurts to spend a little more time together. So parents are advised to pick up the tablet, plug in the computer, grab the controller, and enjoy some digital family time together. As a parent, you might teach your kids something. And considering how quickly they adapt to new technology, they’ll probably teach you something, too. Nicole Letourneau, EvidenceNetwork.ca; Justin Joschko, Ottawa, ON.

CASSAN BACK AS HEAD COACH, NAMED TERRIERS NEW GM - Trent Cassan earned himself a new deal and role with the Yorkton Terriers following the RBC Cup title, becoming the new GM along with extending his head coaching contract by two seasons.
Cassan stays on as Terriers head coach
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
Yorkton Terriers head coach Trent Cassan has became a hot commodity in coaching circles since taking over as the bench boss in Yorkton, after all the young coach has lifted the Junior A hockey club to back to back SJHL titles in addition to winning the National Championship this past spring in overtime. Despite coming off of a stock raising championship run, Cassan will be continuing with the Terriers over the next two years as he has extended his contract with the Terriers in a move that was announced by the team earlier this week. Cassan will stay on with the Terriers for the next two seasons with an option for a third season, also becoming the team’s general manager in the process as
former general manager Don Chesney will be taking a full time role as director of marketing and public relations. Terriers assistant head coach Casey O’Brien will assume Cassan’s old role as assistant general manager in moves that Cassan says will continue the nucleus that helped create the 2014 RBC Cup champions. “The way things have worked with the team all along is that no one person has made a big decision in the operations of the Terriers alone,” mentioned Cassan who says that even with the new job title of general manager that the winning philosophy will continue. “That is going to be how things operate going forward with Don, Gerry Carson (Head of Scouting), Casey and the rest of the office weighing in on the day to day decisions of the hock-
ey club.” One change for the Terriers will be the absence of Gord Pritchard, a valuable assistant who served as the assistant general manager that Cassan says the team will miss more than some would think as Pritchard heads over to a new start in an office role with the WHL’s Regina Pats. “Gord was a huge part of our staff and did so while also working a full time job which some may not have realized as he always always there to help out the team in a variety of roles,” said Cassan about the well respected former Terriers employee who the head coach wishes the best of luck. “I know Gord wants to make a living in hockey and he will be a good hire for the Pats because he is a great guy to have around who does whatever is asked to help people.”
With Don Chesney stepping down as general manager after helping to guide the Terriers to their recent success, Cassan mentioned the work that Chesney has put in for the team in recent years along with the help he has given the head coach in growing as a young bench boss during their time together. “Don has helped me out in whatever ways he can and has made coming to the rink everyday enjoyable for not only myself and the coaching staff but also for the players,” said Cassan. “Hopefully his presence continues with us in his new role and I am sure it will as Don has been involved with nearly every major decision that has been made over the past few seasons so his advice will continue to be something that is a huge help.” Cont. on Page 10.
Bymak, Bieber enjoy Senior LLWS experience By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Midget AA baseball returned to Yorkton this season with a bang as the Yorkton Midget AA Cardinals finished with a winning record and a semifinal berth in Provincials during their breakout 2014 season after not having enough numbers to field a team in recent years, something that allowed several players to guest play in major tournaments following the season as Caleb Bymak and Jordan Bieber were
called up to play in the Senior Little League World Series to represent Saskatchewan with a Regina ballclub. Not only did Bymak and Bieber get to experience playing in Canada’s Little League program, they also got to enjoy some historic moments with the Regina based ballclub as both Yorkton players were a huge part Winning the National Senior Little League Championship with a walkoff hit, both Bieber and Bymak were given the honour of representing Canada at the Senior Little League World Series
in Bangor, Maine following Nationals and also helped guide Canada to their first win in the tournament that is similar to the Little League World Series that is shown on TSN but features players an age group above the LLWS level. With that would come a new challenge for both Yorkton ballplayers as they would go from facing the best of Saskatchewan to players around the country and around the world, all with different tendencies and styles of play.

Yorkton talents key contributors for Canada at LLWS Cont. from Page 9. At Nationals, Bieber would help the Regina All-Stars walkoff to earn a spot in the Senior LLWS in Bangor, Maine. At the Senior LLWS, Bymak would bring home the winning run for Canada’s second win at the 54 year old tournament since 2002 with a walkoff single in the 13th inning. A game that Bieber was the winning pitcher in, going 7 1/3 innings of shutout ball to allow the team to make a comeback. Playing with an entirely new group of players following a summer with the Midget AA Cardinals, the two young Yorkton ballplayers blended in quite easily in the end. With the outfielder Bymak and the pitcher/infielder Bieber both providing timely hits in addition to Bieber’s arm on the mound, Bymak mentioned that the transition was easier than anticipated with the Regina based ballclub accepting the two Yorkton players with open arms. Noting that seeing some of the players throughout the season allowed them to form a bond quickly. “It was different at first, but the team made an effort to go out of their way and make us feel welcome so I really appreciated that.” “When we played them throughout the season they were really friendly and made conversation with us so that helped us get to know the coaches and players better,” Bymak explained of the transition from
playing for Yorkton to playing for the provincial and then national representatives. Bymak mentioned that he felt at home right from the opening game. “By the second inning of the first game it felt like I had been playing with them all season,” said Bymak. “The team really welcomed us out of town guys.” Winning two big games by walkoff plays, Bymak feels that the two wins were the best moments in his young baseball career to date. With the walkoff in Nationals being replaced by helping Canada win their final game in Bangor to finish off their tournament in the win column. “Winning by a walkoff to get to the World Series was one of the best moments of my baseball career so far, but getting to beat Asia Pacific with a 13th inning hit will definitely go down at the top of my best moments in baseball list as it was an experience that will probably last a lifetime.” Helping Canada win a historic game and getting to represent Saskatchewan on a national and international stage, Bymak looked back fondly on his LLWS experiences as well as the opportunity to get to experience a global atmosphere combined with baseball. “The World Series was an awesome experience and I was honoured to get the chance to represent my city, province and country,” men-
tioned Bymak who said the international vibe of the tournament along with getting to interact with athletes from all around the world was also a personal highlight of his. “It was
really cool to play different teams from across the globe and meet new people. It was an amazing time and I made memories that will last a lifetime.”
LOCAL BALLPLAYERS SHINE AT SENIOR LLWS - Caleb Bymak (right) helped Canada win its second game in over 12 years in the Senior Little League World Series with a walkoff hit in the 13th inning. Yorkton teammate Jordan Bieber pitched 7 1/3 innings of shutout baseball to get the win over Asia Pacific, which was the Canadians only win of the tournament.
Cassan becomes Terriers general manager with new deal Cont. from Page 9. Retaining assistant coach Casey O’Brien, Cassan is also looking forward to the future with his now longtime assistant coach. “Casey is a great assistant coach who shares a lot of the same philosophies in both team building as well as on ice strategy which makes both of us a good fit behind the bench because we both have a lot of similar ideas in ways to approach different things,” explained Cassan who also noted that O’Brien helped out in a big way when Cassan was gone for the Jr. A Challenge early last season. “When I was gone, both Casey and Don stepped up to make sure that I could take the opportunity to help coach Canada West where not only did things go as smoothly as possible but we also won a few games which shows what quality type of assistant coach Casey is.” Staying in Yorkton for two more years, the former Yorkton Terriers player and now arguably the most successful head coach in team history is excited to continue his young career as a Junior head coach in the city. “It is an honour to get to coach the Yorkton Terriers because this is such a well ran Junior A hockey program. Everyone from Lisa in the office to (team president) Dave Baron to volunteers to the fans and everyone in hockey operation are top notch people who make coming to work at the rink everyday fun which has me excited for the future with the Terriers.” Cassan’s extension will be a boost to the Yorkton Terriers as they look to remain atop the SJHL following two of the most successful seasons in team history, winning back to back league championships and the RBC Cup on the backs of talent that is also leaving Yorkton over the summer as a core group of veterans along with NCAA bound Brett Boehm will be turning the 2014/15 Terriers roster into what should be a new look squad.

of Regina, starting goaltender Kale Thomson also finished his Junior career with the RBC Cup win as did key blueliners Brady and Chase Norrish, all things that the staff of Cassan, O Brien’, and Carson will have to deal with on the hockey side of things as they look to rebuild on the fly while maintaining the standard of play that fans have came to expect under coach Cassan over the past few seasons. That goal will begin soon enough as the Yorkton Terriers will kick off their season preparations shortly with the beginning of training camp as well as the preseason, hoping that new faces step up and key players from last year’s team continue to grow. After winning back to back league titles and enjoying the spotlight of representing the SJHL as champions, the Terriers should have good faith that their staff will be able to reload and regroup. After all, winning and winning often has been the theme in the city of Yorkton ever since the reigns were handed to the promising young head coach just a few short seasons ago. Now after all the glory of championships, the Terriers are hoping that Cassan can help maintain that success of the next few seasons.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, August 21, 2014 - Page 11A
Roughriders continue to take advantage of lowly East Ruttig’s rants
If you have seen the Saskatchewan Roughriders on offence lately it is hard to imagine that the Grey Cup champs are sitting at 5-2, one game back of the impressive Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos. However that is exactly where we are at going into Week 9 of the 2014 CFL season, as despite the Roughriders deciding to forget how to find the back of the endzone despite having one of the highest paid players in the league at quarterback in Darian Durant things have been coming up Saskatchewan’s way ever since their crash to earth back in July. A massive win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in which two defensive touchdowns were needed to escape from Manitoba with a win that Saskatchewan quite honestly had no business winning was followed by a home performance against a pathetic and beat down Montreal team that left much to be desired from fans who thought playing the Als in the midst of their recent struggles would be the cure to Darian Durant’s problems. That wasn’t the case on the weekend as the team put up just 16 points on Montreal at home, with a 20 yard touchdown strike from Durant to veteran Rob Bagg serving as the lone endzone discovery by the Roughriders despite playing arguably the worst team in the CFL this season. That is a cause for concern for head coach Corey Chamblin, but luckily the defence has given him no such worries in 2014. Defensive end John Chick has turned back the clock and looks about as dominant
phrase holds even more true as anyone can tell you that scoring one touchdown on offence in two games in the CFL is going to catch up with you eventually, especially when you are playing in a division in which every team in the West has a winning record of two games above ,500 or more. Holding four of their five wins over the East, the next stretch of games for Saskatchewan are going to tell the whole story of exactly how broken this team is on offence or if it is just continuing to experience growing pains before the important stretch of games throughout September and October that will include the annual Labour Day series with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as well as multiple games against the likes of the Lions, Stamps and Eskimos will make or break the 2014 Riders chances of a Grey Cup. That shouldn’t be too hard to figure out, after all even the most casual fan can look at the CFL standings and see all of the talent is out in the West, something that makes the Riders 5-2 record with four wins against East teams a hollow record other than the fact that it keeps Saskatchewan within striking distance of first place entering the two month race for the playoffs. With every team in the West posing a threat, the Roughriders are going to have to improve in a hurry if they are going to stay close to the top of the division when all of the dust settles this fall. If that is going to happen, they will also need to start putting points on the scoreboard by the way of touchdowns sooner than later.
Column Chase Ruttig
as he was before he tried his hand at the NFL which has put a big band aid over the Roughriders problems in recent weeks. Can’t score on offence? It isn’t a problem when John Chick is helping the opposing offence start their second down play well behind the original line of scrimmage with one of his multiple sacks per game as the veteran pass rusher inches closer and closer to setting a CFL record this season. However it is still going to be an issue for the Riders eventually as after all, you can’t win if you don’t score and in the Canadian Football League that
Yorkton Minor Football kicks off 2014 season on home turf Football may be a few weeks away for the Yorkton Regional High School Raiders, but the future of the city’s football programs kicked off their seasons at home this weekend as the Yorkton Minor Football Atom and Peewee Gridders hosted their 2014 openers at Century Field on Sunday. Continuing the tradition of Yorkton programs in Regina Minor Football, both the Atom
and Peewee programs recorded strong numbers once again and both teams showed flashes of talent along with promise during an entertaining doubleheader of football action on Sunday afternoon. The day started off on a high as the Atom Gridders put up a 33-0 win in their 2014 debut while the Peewee Gridders faced a tough Regina Riders team that eventually ran away in the second half with a hard fought victory that despite the loss for Yorkton, showed
that once again the minor football program in the city will be providing quality youth football this fall. Atom Gridders coach Jason Boyda mentions that coaching players who are either brand new to the game or who are still developing on both the physical as well as most importantly the mental side of the game is a challenge that Yorkton Minor Football coaches embrace with an attitude to building fundamentals in practice as much as possible.
Something that involves making practices both serious as well as fun. “Practice is obviously extremely important for the minor football program both in developing skills as well as for keeping kids interested in football by putting them in positions where they can succeed and build confidence,” said Boyda. “We make sure to remind our players that football is fun, but practice time is also time to focus on football even if it is fun because that is apart of being on a team and I
think that paid off for our Atoms as we scored the majority of our points in the first half as the better prepared team.” Boyda also mentioned that working with younger players at the Atom level he has been impressed with how well his players have focused in practice so far. “Even if we tell our players practice time is focus time these are all pretty young kids so I have been really impressed with how much our players have wanted to learn and

How to clean up carpet glue when removing rugs
Many a homeowner has moved into a new home and immediately begun to renovate the
place to make it more their own. Carpeting is often the first thing to go when a homeowner is
handed the keys to his or her new home, and many a homeowner has pulled up an old carpet only to
When your grass dies… A patch of dead grass on an otherwise lush lawn can be a frustrating eyesore for homeowners. Whether lawn care is your passion or just something you do to maintain the value of your home, dead grass can be exasperating. But as unsightly as dead grass can be, addressing it and restoring the dead patches can be somewhat simple. Before you can restore grass, however, you must first identify the source of the problem. Grass often dies because of urine damage, which is typically characterized by a dead spot surrounded by otherwise green grass. Grub infestation might be at fault when dead grass appears, and such an infestation often produces patches of light brown grass that are scattered throughout the lawn. It’s also possible that dead grass is a result of human error. If your lawn was overfertilized, then patches of gray-green grass may appear. Fungal disease is another common culprit behind dead grass, and such disease can manifest itself in different ways. Once you have identified why the grass is dead, which may require the help of a professional, then you can begin to treat your lawn. Urine damage
Urine damage is often limited to a particular area of the grass where your family pet routinely relieves itself. Once a particular patch of grass has worn down, the pet may move on to another spot. But if you quickly notice a dead spot due to urine damage, you can train the animal to urinate elsewhere, limiting the damage it causes. When repairing the grass, dig a hole that’s roughly four inches deep and fill it with fresh soil until it’s level with the soil surrounding the dead patch. Then you can sprinkle seed on top of the freshly laid soil and water the spot.Grass should grow in and stay green so long as you prevent further urine damage. Insect damage Addressing dead spots caused by insect damage can be a little more complicated, and some homeowners may prefer to hire a professional. If you want to handle the problem on your own, apply pesticide to the affected areas so the insects behind the problem are killed. Once the insects are no more, cut the grass, raking the affected area to remove the dead grass and any additional debris. Scatter grass seed over the affected areas and then apply an appropriate fertilizer and water imme-
diately. Professionals may know just the right fertilizer for your lawn, so even if you want to go it alone, visit a local lawn care center to ask for advice about addressing your particular problem. Fertilizer damage Fertilizer damage can also prove difficult to address, as applying fresh seeds too soon can kill any freshly growing seedlings. So grass that has been damaged by overfertilization must first be allowed to fully die. Once that has happened, the grass can be cut and any remaining debris or dead grass can be removed. Seed can then be scattered, and you can even add some additional soil before laying down an appropriate amount of fertilizer and watering the lawn immediately. If you don’t trust yourself to use fertilizer correctly, then hire a professional to do the job for you. This will cost a little more, but you likely won’t wake up to more dead patches of grass down the road. Dead grass can be unsightly and turn an otherwise lush lawn into a patchy eyesore. But addressing dead grass can be easy and can quickly restore a lawn to its green grandeur.

still be stuck with some stubborn spots that the putty knife simply can’t remove. When such spots present themselves, apply a little more remover, wait the recommended time for it to set and then use an old towel to wipe away the rest of the glue. This can be hard, but stick with it to ensure the floor looks as good and glue-free as it possibly can. * Allow the floor time to dry. The floor will need time to dry after all of the glue has been removed, so at this point you can call it a day and finish the job the following day. If weather permits, you can expedite the drying process by opening all of the windows. This not only dries the floor more quickly but also allows you to air out the room, which many contain some lingering chemicals left behind by the removers. * Clean the floor. When the floor has dried, you can sweep and vacuum it to make sure it is free of debris. * Sand the floor. While the floor may look beautiful, you will probably still need to sand it. No matter how carefully and effectively you removed the glue, you probably left behind a few scuff marks or noticed a few that likely resulted from the carpet installation. Sanding can remove these blemishes and take you one step closer to enjoying your beautiful and now-gluefree wood floors.

any glue spots. Be gentle when chipping, as you don’t want to scuff your wood floor. Scraping and chipping will likely only do so much, so once you have scraped and chipped as much as you can, you can then use your adhesive remover. Such products tend to be quite flammable, so exercise caution when using them. In addition, adhesive removers can be toxic, so keep the windows open while you’re working so you don’t get lightheaded or begin to feel sick. * Follow the manufacturer instructions. When using mineral spirits or adhesive removers, it’s imperative that you follow the manufacturer instructions. Oftentimes such products instruct users to apply them with a paintbrush or sponge in an attempt to dampen the glue. Once applied, these removers are typically left to sit for a predetermined period of time listed on the package. * Use the right tool. Once the recommended period of time for the remover to set has passed, you can then begin to scrape the glue away. When doing so, be sure to use a plastic putty knife. You may not feel a plastic putty knife can be as effective as a metal alternative, but the plastic won’t scratch or scuff the floor. A plastic putty knife may or may not remove all of the glue, and chances are it won’t. You will

discover beautiful flooring beneath. Pulling up carpet is a relatively simple task, but carpets that were glued down often leave their mark on the floor, turning even the most appealing hardwood floor into an eyesore covered in hardened clumps of glue. Such remnants may be harder to remove than the actual carpet, but with the right approach and a little elbow grease, homeowners will be enjoying their new hardwood floors sooner rather than later. * Get the glue right. All carpet glues are not the same, so before you can begin to remove the adhesive from the floor you must first determine which type of glue you will be removing, as this can dictate how you proceed with the removal. Tar-based adhesives are dark brown or tan, but if the floor is coated in a yellow-looking substance, then the carpet was glued down with a more general adhesive. * Choose the appropriate removal material. Once you have determined which type of adhesive was used on the floor, visit the hardware store to buy the appropriate removal material. Tar-based adhesives are best removed with mineral spirits, while general adhesives are best removed with a combination of elbow grease and adhesive remover. When removing a general adhesive, first try to scrape or chip off
