Touring Canada to help Nepal’s recovery effort

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

ROAD REBUILDING – The first concrete roadway in the City of Yorkton gets laid down in front of the Parkland Mall. The road is built by the largely automated machine above, which follows guide strings as the concrete vibrates through and goes through a slip form. The reason is going with concrete is longevity, as the projected life of the road is thirty to forty years. While rain threatened the project, the build otherwise went smoothly.

In April of this year, Nepal was hit with a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, devastating the tiny country.

With more than 9,000 people killed and 23,000 injured, the earthquake was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since 1934. Wendy Laroux and Buddhi Parajuli were in Nepal during the earthquake and were first responders in the crisis. Now, they are touring Canada to get people thinking about Nepal, whether funding relief efforts or considering taking a trip to the country, which relies on tourism.

When the earthquake hit, Laroux says they were constantly processing what was going on, keeping in mind what escape routes were in the area and finding the safest place in the area, finally standing in the middle of the garden.

“We just stood there and just felt this huge wave beneath us... The only thing we could do was just stand and hold each other, we just knew it was the big one.”

It had been known for years that Nepal was in a geologically unstable area, and there were constant small earthquakes. Laroux says that earlier in April she asked someone from YachtAid international about whether they would be able to help a landlocked country through delivering supplies via Calcutta, as the threat of a large earthquake in the country was always in the back of their minds. She says this became how she got support and advice while being part of the first responders, getting in contact with Mark Drewelow, the founder.

Communication key to combating bullying

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

As we prepare for school to begin, education is not the only thing that today’s students are worrying about. As bullying is a serious issue throughout the country’s schools, parents need to keep track of what’s happening with their kids.

Retired Sgt. Brian Trainor of the Saskatoon Police Service says that the most important thing parents can do is talk to their kids, whether it’s about bullying itself or about the technology that has become woven into the fabric is daily life.

Cyberbullying has changed the way bullies actually interact with their victims, and that’s made it harder to handle as well, Trainor says. It’s

anonymous, and while a kid might be able to avoid a bully in person, it’s nearly impossible to avoid them online.

“The thing they need to know is never to respond to a cyber attack.

So if you are bullied online, never respond, that way the bully is not sure you got the message.

The other thing is they’re trying to get a reaction, so by not reacting you’re not allowing that to happen... After a while they will get tired of no response.”

The ubiquity of phones means that parents need to be willing to keep track of what their kids are doing with the phones, what they’re installing and who they’re talking to. He emphasizes that the phones were given to them by the parents, so

parents need to know they can keep watch of what is happening with the phones their kids use.

“Look at it as an opportunity to have a conversation, a positive conversatioxn with your child, not a negative one.

Not a finger thumping in the chest and ‘what is this little ghost doing on my phone.’ Say to them ‘what is this app, it looks interesting, show me how to use it.’ Use it as an opportunity” Because this is new technology, and it’s significantly different from the environment where parents grew up, they need to educate themselves on what is going on with technology and what apps like Snapchat are and how they’re used. He says that’s another part of having

that positive conversation, to help parents learn what is going on from their kids.

“They were pre-digital age... They’re not computer literate, as parents we’re intimidated by the technology, and sometimes we’re intimidated by it and would rather it just go away. But the reality is it’s not going away, and instead of rebuffing it we need to embrace it.”

One of the main difficulties is that kids often don’t want to talk about what is going on, Trainor says. If kids become withdrawn, start to have self esteem issues or angry outbursts, or start to abandon activities they previously enjoyed. He says at that point people have to talk to kids, because they won’t talk

on their own.

“They keep it to themselves and they don’t tell anybody, so they suffer silence.”

If a parent thinks their kid might be bullying someone, they need to watch for aggression, and keep track of what’s going on with the phone their kid uses as well.

“As a parent you need to know your kid, you need to know why they’re acting this way, and if they suspect something’s happening maybe talk to the school... The classic thinking was that bullies suffered from low selfesteem and low confidence and that’s not true, if anything recent studies have shown they have an overabundance of both. A lot of times it’s a power hunger, because bullying is about power, it’s about

people respecting you because you’re in a position of power. The problem with bullying is that if you don’t learn better ways of handling your aggression or your relationships, you will be dealing with police as you get older because they become criminal offenses after a while.”

The most important thing is that everyone needs to talk to each other, to ensure that they know what is going on in their lives.

“Parents need to make sure you’re talking to your kids, and if you’re a kid make sure you’re talking to somebody. If something’s happening and you can’t control it, talk to your teacher, talk to your parents, keep that line of communication open.”

Local connection to ten time CCMA nominee

Scott Phillips wouldn’t exist were it not for radio. That’s where his parents met, at CJGX here in Yorkton.

He appreciates the recognition, and he says it’s always an honour to get recognized for what he does, whether in a nomination or an award win.

“It never gets old, I won the award four times, and believe me when you hear your name get called out it’s a real rush and an amazing feeling to be recognized like that in front of your peers.”

He has only worked in country radio, coming on the scene in the late ‘80s when Garth Brooks was just hitting the scene. It was a passion for country music that drove him to continue in the industry.

it’s what everyone comes back to. He was born in Yorkton when his parents worked for CJGX, and radio has hit the next generation as well, with his daughter now working in the industry.

“There’s a real love for it in our family, the whole broadcast industry, and it’s really a lot of fun. A lot of the time I’ll say to myself that I can’t believe I actually make a living doing this, that it paid for my house and it paid for my kids’ educations.”

“He was walking me through a very rapid education on disaster relief.

I’m very grateful to him, because in his words ‘you’re the only one in the world doing this right now... You’re walking into a world of the UN and NGOs, you’re going to have good days and bad days, you’re going to be exhausted, you’re going to see things that are going to make you want to vomit, are you sure?’ I said, ‘of course.’ You don’t even question that.”

While she had a knee injury from a motorcycle accident, Laroux worked to connect people, find missing relatives and get people to complete needs assessments so that the aid coming in could be distributed through the country. She says that the needs assessments were the biggest part of her job, because it was the only way to get aid to where it needs to go. As they still had a connection, both phone and internet, they used that to help as much as they could.

“In the middle of the night on the first night we had a call from Brazil.

There was a traveller, a mother was trying to find her daughter, we were thankfully able to put them together as well,”

Laroux says.

While her role behind the phones wasn’t as visible, it was necessary, and she says it was the best way for her to help with a knee injury.

“If I had been able to get in on the ground and help with hands on, I would have, but that became my role.”

Recovering from the earthquake isn’t just about the structures, but it’s about the people, Laroux says. She says that loud noises can still bother both of them, because they spent so many months dealing with aftershocks.

“We were suffering from post-traumatic stress as well because you’re on edge all the time. We couldn’t even imagine what Nepalis around the country were and still are going through, because we’re still affected.”

She says that for Canadians, it’s important to know what resources are out there if they are somewhere where disaster does strike. Laroux notes that in Nepal, the nearest Canadian Embassy is in Delhi, India, but that the American Embassy was able to help Canadians.

She also notes that organizations like International SOS can help, and emphasizes that they are there for emergencies.

The decision to tour

Canada was because they were independent, and wanted a way to continue to support Nepal after their first response role was less needed. They decided that by touring the country they could reach more people, and assist in the country’s recovery. Vive Nepal was born out of that desire, and after selecting two charities – Waves for Water to help with potable water, and Edge of Seven, a small organization rebuilding schools – they organized the effort to tour the country to get the word out about Nepal and help rebuild the country.

“After so much that we did after the earthquake hit, we just wanted to continue those efforts.”

She says that part of the goal is to keep people aware of Nepal after the news cycle has shifted on

Disc golf tourney

The Patrick Park Disc Golf Course was established a half decade ago in Yorkton, and over that time the sport has grown.

The next step in that growth takes place this Saturday as the course hosts its inaugural tournament.

“We’ve seen good growth in participation this season hosting a ‘disc golf gathering’ Tuesday evenings, and with the installation of a functional ‘back-nine’ so we felt it was the right time to host a tournament,” said event organizer Trevor Lyons.

The tournament will be a Trilogy Challenge event.

“We decided to be part of the Trilogy Challenge series for several reasons, starting with the fact it is an established series which has been highly successful all over the world,” said Lyons.

In 2014, 273 Trilogy Challenge events were held in 44 different U.S. states and eight countries with more than 10,000 players.

“Being part of something that has caught the attention of players worldwide was something we felt would work here,” said Lyons.

And that has proven to be the case.

“We were hoping for 20 entries in our first year. We have 35 which really is a great number,” said Lyons.

Most of the entries are local participants but Lyons added people do travel to play disc golf and there are entries from Regina, North Battleford and Benito, MB. The Trilogy Challenge is supported by three wellknown disc golf manufacturers; Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64°, and Westside Discs with players receiving a disc from each company as part of the entry fee.

Players are only allowed to use the three discs they receive in their player pack and if they lose a disc during the round, they must finish

the round without it.

“It’s a great event for new players of which we have a growing number locally because they get discs they can use for years,” said Lyons.

“And since everyone will be using the discs for the first time, it evens the playing field a bit too.”

In terms of sport growth Lyons said 2015 has been a great year in the region with new courses established in Springside and Sandy Beach on Good Spirit Lake.

In addition courses have been installed at Fort Qu’Appelle, Lemberg and Carlton Trail Regional Park.

“We’ve worked on all five of these projects,” said Lyons who has helped in the design work of the courses along with Calvin Daniels.

“It is great to see these communities show interest in the sport and be so willing to put courses in,” added

Tax Sask.aid P

Daniels. “Disc golf is such a great sport recreation which is affordable and playable by almost everyone, so having more courses locally is great.”

Daniels said he expects to see more courses in the future too, as several other communities in the region have shown interest. Plans are in the works for a course in Melville to be installed soon.

To build on that growth there is a plan being formulated to establish a Parkland Association of Disc Golf to promote all courses in the region, and to support the sport in any way possible, added Lyons.

As for the Yorkton tournament Lyons said spectators are certainly welcome, so people curious about the sport are invited to Patrick Park Saturday. The first group will tee off at 10 a.m.

to other events. The other goal is to get people to reconsider travelling to Nepal. As the country’s economy is heavily built on adventure tourism, they need people to come to the country.

It’s a totally independent tour, and she admits that it has been a challenge to get the word out, even just securing a vehicle. But she says that they have had the good luck to make connections as they tour the country, with people like Cody and Brenda Denton at the City of Yorkton Campground allowing them to park for the night. They have had good luck as well, meeting a band in Yorkton at the neighboring campsite to plan for a future event when their paths cross in Alberta.

Stay active and remember the children this fall It never seems that summers last long enough, and here we are once again days from the calender turning to September.

The flipping of the calender really does mark not just a change in the month, and in this case the season, but also in the day-today lives of us all.

Summer is the time we collectively exhale.

We take holidays. We slow down the pace of our lives just enough to refocus on having fun.

We see that all around us, from the local health board suspending meetings for July and August to Yorkton Council cutting their meeting schedule in half.

The Legislature in Regina goes into summer recess.

Schools close for summer holidays.

That all changes next week and we seem somehow to collectively change gears in September getting back to a busier routine.

Clubs from the local steel-tip dart group to the Yorkton Junior Terriers get back into action.

For those looking for things to do to stay active city wide registration is next Wednesday evening at the Gallagher Centre.

There are many great organizations and organized activities in our city, so everyone should be able to find something of interest to keep active and involved in our community.

September becomes a hectic time for many of us as we get back into more of the routine of our busy lives.

But it is also a time we should take some extra caution, at least when behind the wheel of our automobiles.

Students are trekking back to the classroom at this time of year too.

That means they are walking throughout te city ready to become sponges of knowledge for the next school year.

As drivers we need to take a moment to make sure we obey speed limits in school zones to ensure our children are safe.

And even away from school zones, as we head to work in the morning, and travel in the afternoon we should take some extra caution to watch for children.

Governments stink at selling booze It’s important to have a friend who’s a bit of a jerk. It’s always painfully obvious which contestants on So You Think You Can Dance don’t have that one jerk friend. If only those poor souls had a jerk in their life to make fun of their dancing before the TV cameras start rolling.

We’ve got (partially) good news for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA): the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is your tell-it-like-it-is friend. Allow us to be a bit of a jerk.

Here’s the truth: governments stink at selling booze. It’s time to stop.

For those who are too friendly to say it bluntly, let’s bring up an embarrassing history the government would probably rather forget.

In 1916, 75 per cent of Saskatchewanians voted in favour of prohibition. To be fair, that wasn’t the government’s fault.

That one was on we the people. That vote meant getting a drink required a trip to the doctor for some single malt cough syrup.

In 1924, 57 per cent of voters came to their senses and voted to end prohibition. But by then, government had a hold on the bottle and didn’t let go. Liquor was only available in government stores.

A decade later, the Saskatchewan Hotel Association took action. Innkeepers collected enough signatures to force a referendum demanding the opportunity to sell beer by the glass as well as the bottle. Again, voters came through, and thus off-sales and hotel bars were born.

The hoteliers loosened the government’s grip on the bottle, but officials kept a cork on any fun. Customers had to sit down to drink – no standing allowed. No food, entertainment or gambling was allowed. And absolutely no women were allowed – no women drinking, no women serving drinks, no women even entering the premise.

Perhaps predictably, forcing men to do nothing but drink while they’re drinking leads to trouble.

After about two decades of that poor behaviour, the officials found a solution: they allowed women to drink with

men. It’s doubtful that this measure was implemented as a favour to long-thirsty women. The authorities thought that women would have a “civilizing effect” on the drunk men.

Selling liquor in small towns turned out to be a burden for the government. In 1965, it decided to let private businesses such as grocery stores take over as liquor vendors in places the government didn’t want the job. Many such vendors have peacefully provided bottles of wine and six packs of beer along with bread and eggs for decades. The government has diligently prevented that kind of convenience from spreading to the big cities ever since.

It’s true, change has been coming a little faster in recent years. Saskatchewan now has a few private liquor stores and they’re great. The government cut red tape such as regulations limiting golf courses to one beverage cart per nine holes. And now the government is wrapping up an extensive consultation regarding the future of liquor retailing in Saskatchewan.

But there are still rules in Saskatchewan that force public stores and private vendors to sell warm beer. There are still limits on the number of off-sales in each jurisdiction. And somehow we’re still debating whether government should be selling liquor.

Look SLGA – you tried. And, yes, you’ve made some improvements. We appreciate that. We do. But you’re still bad at selling booze. We’ve all been to private stores in Alberta – the sky didn’t fall. In fact, it’s nice to buy cold beer and have the cocktail mixes handy by the till. Even the new Alberta NDP government hasn’t talked about going back and nationalizing private stores. Heck, the grocery store in Ponteix, Sask., sells booze and nobody’s heard of any drunken rioting there.

Please SLGA, stop fooling around with liquor retailing.

Just stop. No more half measures. We all know we’re going to be buying our booze in private stores someday. Let’s just pop the cork already.

Todd MacKay is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

An inability to change direction leads to a crash Once, while looking for a party in a remote location, a few friends of mine adopted the mantra “onward, always onward.” The logic was that if they kept moving down the same path they would, eventually, find where they were going and get to the party in question. The end of this story involves a Mercury Topaz in the middle of a canola field. In short, the plan worked, right until it no longer did.

I think of this when I see someone determined to stick with the plan in spite of evidence that it’s not currently working. Take, for instance, the election campaign, where the Conservative party is imploring everyone to stick with their plan for the economy. Their plan was made in a different time, when people wanted to spend a lot of money on oil, the dollar was near parity and everyone was betting on China being relatively stable. Today none of that is true, so it’s clearly time for a new plan, because if we don’t start considering a different approach there’s a great big field looming ahead, and our economy car is headed straight for it.

But this isn’t their fault, actually, because we are in an environment where we refuse to award adaptability. The Conservative leadership may well know that plans have to change and they can’t just stay the course, because it’s clear that

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger their plan isn’t going to be the right one at this very moment, whether or not it worked before.

They can’t actually say this, because that would be admitting they’re not perfect, and it would be saying to the country’s voters that what they did several years ago isn’t the position that they are taking today. People tend to reward consistency in government rather than adaptability. As a result, if you are in government, you’re stuck with having to insist that you’re doing everything right and everything is going according to plan, even if it’s clearly not.

Which is not to say that a government shouldn’t be able to run on its record, and run on that record successfully, even in a time of relative upheaval. If that government successfully navigated similar

crises earlier in its mandate, then it can use that as evidence it can handle a new crisis. In that case, it’s less about proposing you have an infallible plan than it is about proposing that you can respond to whatever the world situation actually winds up being. Given that we are a country that relies on exports, this is actually doable in theory, because a lot of the woes that affect Canada’s economy are not necessarily Canada’s fault. If China’s stock market takes a tumble, that’s on China, even if Canada is going to inevitably be affected by that market change it’s not something we caused.

The problem is that people have a notorious dislike of politicians who change their mind, which is a dangerous position to take. We should reward politicians who have the ability to look at the world around them, realize there’s a better path to take, and then set out in that direction.

But there’s a perception that if someone admits they were wrong, or in this case, admits that the situation changed, they are admitting some kind of fallibility, and that’s a weakness. In reality, it’s a strength, because it allows them to turn a corner and make a better judgement. It’s the difference between making it to the party and getting stuck in a field.

Union votes should be secret

Canada sixth in its freedoms

To the Editor:

VANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ - Pilots at WestJet recently voted to reject union representation, sparking renewed interest in labour relations laws in Canada. The vote means WestJet pilots will remain non-union, in contrast to their counterparts at Air Canada where, in 2012, the airline became mired in labour disputes that ultimately hurt its bottom line.

But more importantly, the vote is one of the first high-profile drives to form a union under new federal rules requiring workers in federally regulated industries (including transportation and telecommunications) to use secret ballots.

Two-step process Certifying a union is generally a two-step process. In the first step, the union must obtain the support of a minimum percentage of workers by signing them up as union members (or more rarely, having workers sign a petition). The second step is a certification vote.

Under the old federal rules, union certification was put to a secret ballot vote if the union signed up 35 per cent of workers for membership. A union

could have bypassed a secret ballot vote and automatically certified if they signed up a sufficient percentage of workers (50 per cent plus one). Under the new rules, union representation must always be approved or rejected by workers anonymously via secret ballot, protecting them from any undue pressure.

The new rules apply to federally regulated industries; the provinces have their own set of labour relations laws regulating industries within their jurisdiction (including manufacturing and construction). Although mandatory secret ballot voting is increasingly the norm in Canada, a number of provinces - namely Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island - still do not provide workers with the protection that comes with requiring unions to be certified by an anonymous vote. (In Ontario, the construction industry remains the only industry where certification by secret ballot vote is not mandatory.)

Implementing a mandatory secret ballot in these provinces would give workers in provincially regulated industries the same right to vote

anonymously on union certification as is now enjoyed by workers in federal industries and other provinces.

It’s crucial that union representation be approved via secret ballot because certification may otherwise not reflect the true desire of the majority of voting workers.

Without the anonymity of secret ballots, union organizers can pressure workers into signing up for unions. Any dissension or disagreement can become confrontational, especially in cases where unionization is controversial. Even without outside pressure, some workers may be uncomfortable publicly voicing their opinions in the absence of secret ballot voting.

A mandatory secret ballot vote also provides an opportunity for more debate and discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of union representation, helping workers make a more informed decision.

Workers need right to secret ballot Interestingly, workers are less likely to choose unions when there’s no automatic certification and when decisions are made through secret ballot voting. Academic

research has shown that union drives are more often successful if they can be automatically certified without a vote. For example, one study found that union-drive success rates fell by 19 percentage points after mandatory voting was introduced in British Columbia. Another Canadian study found that, between 1978 and 1996, union-drive success rates were approximately nine percentage points higher in provinces with automatic certification.

The mandatory secret ballot vote at WestJet allowed the pilots to reject union representation under the same protection Canadians enjoy when electing their politicians.

It’s time that workers in every province are guaranteed the same right to vote for - or against - union certification in a secret ballot.

Health care not actually free To the Editor:

hope

The notion of “free health care” seems to have gained cult-like status in Canada. This is perplexing given that provincial/territorial government spending on health care (including federal transfers) accounted for 7.1 per cent ($141 billion) of the Canadian economy in 2014. And yet, time and again, people tout the zero dollar pricetag.

There are two primary reasons for this seemingly poor arithmetic.

First, individual Canadians are not exposed to any portion of the cost of basic physician and hospital services, at the point of use. Instead, they annually pay a substantial amount of money for health-care goods and services through taxes.

While (primarily or partially) taxfunded health-care systems are not uncommon, the lack of any deductibles and copayments puts Canada in a very small minority among universal health-care systems.

Second, instead of using a dedicated health insurance tax that earmarks tax money for the specific purpose, general government tax revenues finance health care in Canada. Even specific health pre-

miums in provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario go into general government revenues. This makes it impossible for Canadians to calculate how much of their total tax payments go towards health care every year.

Without such a fundamental piece of information, discussions about the performance and sustainability of our health-care system routinely devolve into emotional grandstanding.

To help inform such discussions, we used publically available tax and health-care expenditure data to calculate how much different types of families will pay for public health-care insurance this year.

We estimate that the average Canadian family (two parents, two children) earning $119,082 will pay $11,735 for public health-care insurance in 2015. Meanwhile, a single individual earning $42,244 will pay $4,222.

As one would expect, there’s a great deal of variation in the amount paid for health care by families earning different levels of income. For example, the 10 per cent of Canadian families with the lowest incomes will pay an average of about $477 for public health

care, while families among the top 10 per cent of income earners in Canada will pay $37,180.

And what about cost increases?

Looking back over the last decade, we estimate that the cost of public health-care insurance for the average Canadian family grew 1.6 times faster than the average income between 2005 and 2015.

While increases have been less drastic in recent years, this suggests that we have long been on a financially unsustainable path.

It is always important to continually assess whether or not we receive good value for our money from the public programs our tax dollars fund. While Canadians routinely experience the good and bad of our health care system, it can be hard to measure those experiences against their annual contributions to the system because of the murky manner in which it is funded.

At the very least, our estimates provide us with an important reminder that Canada’s healthcare system is not “free.”

To the Editor: 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 property 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.

Double the trouble: Shady and dry a combination of microsprinklers/sprayers, bubblers, drip and weeping hose to suit your needs. If you don’t have a sprinkler system, consider just using a weeping hose attached to your water tap and weave it in and around the plants in your bed.

Step three: add a layer of organic mulch (8 – 10 cm deep) to trap moisture in the soil, preventing it from simply evaporating, and to keep the root systems cool in the summer and protected in winter.

Mulch will also hide much of your irrigation system.

Keep the mulch away from direct contact with tree trunks. Too much moisture may cause tree bark to root, leading to poor vigour and even death of your trees.

Combine all three practices for best results.

The following herbaceous perennials will survive dry shade, but will generally perform better when provided with additional moisture.

Barren strawberry (Waldsteinia fragarioides): low (15 cm), spreading ground cover with yellow flowers in early spring.

While the plant and growth habit resembles a strawberry, no edible fruit is produced, hence the common name, barren strawberry.

Barrenwort or bishop’s hat (Epimedium rubrum): low (20 – 25 cm) clumpor carpet forming with bronzy-green, heartshaped leaves ringed by red in spring; loose, dainty pink or white flower clusters appear in late spring

overtopping the leaves.

Some winter protection may be necessary.

Lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majalis): fragrant spring flowering plant that gardeners either hate (because it spreads) or love (because it survives the toughest conditions). Reaches 15 cm tall, each stem with 1 or 2 light green leaves; flowers are small white bells arranged along spike (raceme). Can form large colonies. Watch out – some consider it invasive.

Bigroot cranesbill geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum): this one grows seemingly anywhere: sun, shade, dry, moist. Clumpforming perennial with deep green leaves; reaches 30 – 45 cm (depending on cultivar); lose clusters of red or pink in mid- to late summer. Deer tolerant.

Coral bells (Heuchera sp.): clump forming perennial, 15 – 20 cm tall overtopped by red, pink or white flower clusters (some showier than others, depending on cultivar) for an additional 15 cm. Leaves are typically medium to dark green, but recent introductions have added dark purple, red, bronze, chartreuse and variegated forms.

Deer resistant.

Project to Send Ambulances to Ukraine The Government of Saskatchewan is providing $25,000 in financial support to a humanitarian project that is sending donated ambulances to Ukraine to help care for the victims of the crisis and conflict in the eastern part of that country.

Ambulances for Ukraine is a co-operative project involving Canadian citizens, businesses and associations concerned about the political conflict that has devastated Ukraine and its infrastructure. The project has been spearheaded by MD Ambulance of Saskatoon and the Paramedics Chiefs of Canada in response to the urgent need for ambulances to transfer casualties from field hospitals in the conflict zone to military and general hospitals.

“The people of Saskatchewan have a special bond with the people of Ukraine and we stand with them during this crisis and in their time of need,” Legislative Secretary to the Premier for SaskatchewanUkraine Relations Ken Krawetz said. “The ambulance project is a practical way Canadians, and in particular, the Ukrainian Canadian community, can help a war-torn country, and I am proud that much of the leadership for this initiative has come from

here in Saskatchewan.”

The first phase of the project has just started.

Four donated ambulances, three from Saskatchewan and one from Alberta, left the port of Halifax on August 11 and are scheduled to arrive in Kyiv next week. The ambulances will then be sent to hospitals treating the wounded from the conflict zone.

The companies donating the ambulances in the project’s first phase include MD Ambulance, Parkland Ambulance of Prince Albert, Duck Mountain EMS of Kamsack and Associated Ambulance Services of Edmonton.

Other key partners in the Ambulances for Ukraine project include the SaskatchewanUkraine Relations Advisory Committee (SURAC), the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC), UCC Saskatchewan, EuroMaidan Canada and Crestline Coach Ltd. of Saskatoon.

“Donation of these four ambulances is the first step in an effort to get vitally important equipment to Ukraine’s front-line medical and health care workers,” MD Ambulance past President and CEO and founding member of the Paramedics Chiefs of Canada Dave Dutchak said. “After we evaluate the success of the project’s

first phase, we plan to expand the project nationally and source an additional eight to 12 vehicles from ambulance providers across the country.”

“Our committee is pleased to be part of the team that has enabled the success of the Ambulances for Ukraine initiative,” SURAC Chair Gerald Luciuk said. “While much of our role is to offer advice on Saskatchewan’s wellestablished business, cultural and trade ties with Ukraine, we have been increasingly active in raising awareness of the

humanitarian issues currently affecting Ukraine and in being a voice for the province’s Ukrainian community on those issues.”

Krawetz noted that the government has a long history of support for SaskatchewanUkraine relations, including the establishment of SURAC, a previous donation of $60,000 last year in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and the annual provincial commemoration of the Holodomor, a manmade famine that devastated Ukraine during the early 1930s.

By Erl SvendsenShade is one thing, but when combined with dry conditions, it can be a challenge for even the most experienced gardener. It can be a literal wasteland where not even weeds will grow. But it need not be a dark, dusty and empty space. There are techniques that will reduce the impacts of drought (even under a large spruce) as well as perennials that tolerate dry shade.

Dry shade is usually encountered under thick impenetrable tree canopies such as Colorado blue spruce, under roof and porch overhangs, or on the east and north sides of buildings (most of our summer rains come from the west or south).

Step one: improve the moisture holding capacity of the soil by amending it with organic matter like compost, peat moss or well-rotted manure.

What little moisture that falls there naturally will be held in the ground longer. You may not be able to add a lot of organic matter to the soil under trees because of dense shallow root systems. In this case, when planting, make a hole between large surface roots and add organic matter to the planting hole.

Step two: Irrigation is an obvious strategy and there are several options.

If you have underground sprinklers, you can redirect some of the heads to reach the dry shady areas. Or you can also add an extra zone that only waters this area. Use

School Zone Safety DO’s:

DON’Ts:

1. Slow down. Slow to a safe speed where you can. Carefully watch for kids crossing in between parked cars.

2. Stop for buses. When a bus’ lights are flashing, it means that children are getting in or out. Traffic must stop in both directions until the lights stop flashing – and no sooner.

3. Put your car in park. When dropping off your children, don’t just come to a stop, but put your vehicle in park while they exit.

4. Pick a spot. Discuss with your child a designated pick-up and drop-off spot that is easily and safely accessible. That way, kids aren’t wandering the streets to find their ride home.

5 Always signal. Signal when changing lanes, turning onto another street or when moving from a parked position.

1. Don’t be distracted. Put down the coffee or cell phone; place your hands on the wheel and keep your eyes on the road.

2. Don’t park in no parking or no stopping zones. Waiting drivers may become impatient and attempt unsafe manoeuvres to pass, putting you and your child directly in harm’s way.

3. Don’t idle. If you stop for longer than 10 seconds, it is more fuel efficient to shut your car off and turn it back on when it’s time to go.

4. Don’t roll through stop signs. Make a complete stop at every stop sign and check for traffic both on the road and the sidewalk.

5. Don’t ignore School Safety Patrols. Patrols are there for one purpose: to protect youngsters as they cross the street. When crossing guards extend their flags and enter the street you must come to a complete stop and wait for all pedestrians to cross, proceeding only when the patrol has returned to the curb.

Watch for students when driving this fall

With children and youth returning to school in the coming weeks, the Canada Safety Council reminds drivers to be extra cautious on the roads during this busy time of year.

“We owe it to the young people in our communities to review and respect the rules around school zones,” says Jack Smith, president of the Canada Safety Council.

“As the summer break come to a close, remember that extra traffic on the road means increased likelihood of collisions.”

Driving Tips to Keep Kids Safe 1. Reduce your speed.

Be more careful in residential areas where children are present. Respect speed limits in school zones and playground zones.

2. Stop for school buses displaying the flashing red lights and the extended stop arm. In most cases, traffic in both directions must stop for school buses. Do not continue on until the flashing lights stop.

3.

Obey crossing guards.

4. Never overtake other vehicles within a school zone or within a half block of any crosswalk.

5. Avoid U-turns and

three-point turns in school zones. Children can have a difficult time predicting these types of vehicle manoeuvers.

6. Give cyclists a wide berth (a minimum clearance of one metre is the rule in some jurisdictions).

7. Shoulder check before opening your vehicle door.

8. Leave extra time to reach your destination.

9. If you observe reckless driving or suspect a driver is impaired, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so, and report the incident to police by calling 911.

10. Choose public transit and active modes of transportation, if and whenever possible. One less car on the road makes the road that much safer for everyone.

11. If you must drive your children to school,

Tax Sask.aid P

let kids off away from traffic, usually that is the passenger side of the vehicle.

12. Walk a block. To help avoid vehicle congestion in the immediate vicinity of the school, consider parking a short distance away, and walk your kids the rest of the way.

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s all do our part to keep kids safe this back-toschool season.

About the Canada Safety Council The Canada Safety Council is an independent, knowledge-based, charitable organization dedicated to the cause of safety. We provide national leadership in safety through information, education and collaboration. We are Canada’s voice and resource for safety.

Annoyances and Happy Accidents

The Moon is not easy to miss in the south east these days (rainy nights aside), as it approaches its Full Moon phase on the 29th. During the daylight hours it will pass above Neptune, which by nightfall will be 4 degrees (3 fingers at arms length) to its right and little lower.

On the 31st, if you look a little less than the width of your fist (10 degrees) to the left of the Moon, you may be able to spot Uranus.

Neptune is a very

small blue disk, Uranus brighter and a little larger. To actually see the disks requires a telescope, but the colours are evident in any binoculars. If you find something blue in the area that twinkles less than normal, it’s probably one or the other.

Having said that, it’s unlikely you’ll find either if you look on those dates, because the Moon is so overwhelmingly bright that it washes out the sky

The Universe from your own back yard

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. around it.

If you’re determined to check these two planets off your list, wait a few days or a week and scan the part of the sky the Moon was in at the time. With a little

patience, they can be found. If not, both planets will be well placed in the southern sky for the rest of the year, so we should be able to have numerous opportunities to catch a

glance when the Moon is out of the way.

Maybe I shouldn’t be so dismissive of the Moon. It’s brightness can be annoying if you’re trying to see other stuff in the sky, but without it, it’s questionable if anyone would be here to complain.

The Moon was formed when a Marssized rock hit a very young Earth, throwing off a large molten blob which would eventually form into our satellite.

Had this chance event

not happened, our tides would be a third of what they are now, our days would be six hours long with winds four times the strength and the stable tilt that gives us our seasons would have become erratic millennia ago. Life would not have evolved as we know it, if at all.

As annoyed as I can get at times, I guess it’s better to have to work around the Moon to view the skies from my back yard, than have no back yard at all.

U.S. congressional delegation visits Boundary Dam 3 Saskatchewan’s global leadership on carbon capture and storage technology (CCS) will be showcased tomorrow for visiting members of a United States congressional delegation.

Senators Lindsey Graham (Republican, South Carolina) and Sheldon Whitehouse (Democrat, Rhode Island) along with Congressman Tom Rice (Republican, South Carolina) will join Premier Brad Wall

Wednesday for a tour of SaskPower’s new leadingedge Boundary Dam 3 project.

“The Boundary Dam 3 project has technology which has worldwide application in the push for clean coal power sources and the mitigation of the effects of climate change,” Wall said. “We’ve been promoting Saskatchewan expertise and this project globally and we welcome this opportunity to show Boundary Dam 3 to

another group of American political leaders and influencers.

“Coal accounts for about 39 per cent of U.S. electricity, so obviously there’s a keen interest in being able to drastically reduce emissions while providing affordable, reliable energy in that country. The U.S. also has the world’s largest coal reserves and is the world’s second-largest coal producer.”

SaskPower’s facility is the first commercial power

plant in the world to be equipped with a fully integrated post-combustion carbon capture system.

That system captures 90 per cent of the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to taking 250,000 vehicles off the road.

The premier noted that this is the third visit to Saskatchewan by Senator Graham but his first to Boundary Dam 3. The influential senator is a strong advocate of CCS

Speeding an issue this summer with police issuing more than 3,550 tickets

Speeding an issue this summer with police issuing more than 3,550 tickets With a record-breaking construction season in full swing, July’s traffic safety spotlight highlighted the need for motorists to slow down and exercise additional caution in work zones across the province.

In total, police recorded 3,556* manually enforced speedrelated offences in and out of work zones for the month of July, including: •142 exceeding posted speed limit by 35 km/h • 48 exceeding posted speed limit by 50 km/h · two driving at least twice the posted speed limit • 7 speeding in a

construction zone where a highway worker or flag person is present • 99 passing emergency vehicles at more than 60 km/h • 3,248 other speedrelated offences Law enforcement also issued 100 impaired driving-related offences, 130 tickets for distracted driving (102 of those for cellphone use) and 293 tickets for not using a seatbelt, car seat or booster seat.

Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviours not only put motorists and their vehicles at risk, they also needlessly endanger the lives of other drivers and road users.

These risks are magnified in work zones due to the presence of workers, additional road

hazards and because traffic can suddenly slow or stop.

SGI reminds motorists that even if workers are not present, speed limits are reduced to 60km/h when entering a highway work zone. In municipal areas, work zones will be marked by orange signs indicating that you’re entering a road construction area and black and white signs indicating the legal speed limit.

The Canada Post segment reported a loss before tax of $31 million for the second quarter as Transaction Mail volumes fell sharply. The loss was also driven by higher employee benefit expenses, partially offset by continued strong growth in the Parcels business.

The loss for the second quarter, ended July 4, 2015, compares to a profit before tax of $53 million for the second quarter of 2014.

For the first two quarters of 2015, the Canada Post segment reported a loss before tax of $7 million compared to a profit before tax of $26 million for the same period in 2014.

In the first half of 2015, Transaction Mail volumes (letters, bills and statements) fell by 102 million pieces or 7.2 per cent1 compared to the first half of 2014.

That rate of decline is higher than in the first six months of any

year since mail volumes peaked in 2006.

In the second quarter, volumes fell by 63 million pieces or 6.5 per cent compared to the same period a year ago. The ongoing volume erosion reflects Canadians’ changing needs for postal service, and is the rationale for initiatives contained in the Fivepoint Action Plan that will achieve substantial operational savings.

Significant volatility in employee benefit expenses continues to pose challenges. The cost of employee benefits for the Canada Post segment rose by $59 million in the second quarter and by $129 million in the first two quarters, compared to the same period a year ago. This is the result of a decrease in the discount rates used to calculate benefit plan costs in 2015, partially offset by strong pension returns in 2014.

Employee benefit expenses are expected to remain higher throughout 2015 when compared to 2014.

Strong Parcels results For the Canada Post segment, parcel volumes increased by more than two million pieces or 6.5 per cent in the second quarter, and by almost seven million pieces or 6.5 per cent1 in the first two quarters, compared to the same period in 2014. Canada Post’s innovative solutions for e-tailers and consumers and reliable on-time delivery also continue to drive growth in Parcels revenue. Parcels revenue for the Canada Post segment increased by $17 million or 4.8 per cent to $370 million in the second quarter and by $56 million or 5.5 per cent1 in the first two quarters, compared to the same period a year ago.

Transaction Mail

results Transaction Mail generates slightly more than half of the Canada Post segment’s revenue.

Revenue from Transaction Mail fell by $44 million or 5.4 per cent to $779 million in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2014. In the first two quarters of 2015, Transaction Mail revenue increased by $68 million or 1.8 per cent1 compared to the same period a year ago. Revenue from Domestic Lettermail, the largest product category of Transaction Mail, fell by $35 million or 4.7 per cent in the second quarter and rose by $72 million or 2.5 per cent1 in the first two quarters of 2015, compared to the same period a year ago.

Direct Marketing results Revenue from Direct Marketing fell by $12 million to $297 million and volumes fell by 17 million pieces

in the second quarter compared to the same period a year ago. In the first two quarters of 2015, revenue fell by 2.5 per cent1 and volumes fell by 1.2 per cent1 compared to the same period a year ago.

Group of Companies The Canada Post Group of Companies2 reported a loss before tax of $4 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a profit before tax of $86 million in the same period in 2014. For the first two quarters of 2015, the Group of Companies recorded a profit before tax of $18 million compared to a profit before tax of $49 million in the first two quarters of 2014.

Background The operations of the Canada Post Group of Companies are fund-

ed by the revenue generated by the sale of its products and services, not taxpayer dollars. Canada Post has a mandate from the Government of Canada to remain financially self-sufficient and to provide a standard of postal service that is affordable and meets the needs of the people of Canada.

1. Variance percentages of revenue, cost of operations and volume were adjusted to reflect the impact of three additional business (trading) days and four additional paid days in the first half of 2015, compared to the first half of 2014.

Sask Polytech recognized for applied project management program Saskatchewan’s only online project management program, offered by S a s k a t c h e w a n Polytechnic, has been given the gold seal by the Canadian Construction Association and recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

The Applied Project Management Program, offered by Sask Polytech in partnership with the Applied Management Centre, is composed of six courses of varying lengths taken over fourteen weeks. The learner will work through the lifecycle of a real-life project of their choosing – from project initiation to closing and integra-

tion.

“What makes this program unique is that the learner applies their course work to their own project by completing a series of course modules,” says Linda O’Halloran, Sask Polytech continuing education consultant. “The majority of other project management programs use case studies to demonstrate project management concepts.”

The program also meets the education requirements of the Project Management Institute (PMI), the largest international association for project managers and for Project M a n a g e m e n t

With stroke, minutes count

(NC) — Time is everything during a stroke.

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. Brain cells die at a rate of two million per minute after a stroke, so the sooner blood flow can be restored, the better the chance of survival – with little or no disability.

It is important for Canadians to learn the signs of stroke and know what to do.

FAST is an easy and memorable way to remember the major signs of stroke: Face – is it drooping?

Arms – can you raise them?

Speech - is it slurred or jumbled?

Time – to call 9-1-1 right away.

As soon as you recognize a stroke sign,

call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number and tell them you are having or witnessing a stroke.

Arriving by ambulance means you will get to the right hospital faster – one that is equipped to provide emergency stroke care.

Not all hospitals have the capacity to administer clot busting drugs, which can stop or reverse the effects of stroke. The emergency medical services will be able to determine which hospital in your area can best help.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Canada and a leading cause of disability. There are an estimated 62,000 strokes in Canada each year. That is one stroke every nine minutes.

For more information visit heartandstroke.ca

Professional (PMP) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) credentials. By completing the program offered by Sask Polytech, enrolled learners are prepared to challenge the PMI certification exam.

“Saskatchewan Polytechnic recently was recognized by the Project Management Institute as a Registered Education Provider,” says O’Halloran. “For the learner, this means that they are receiving preapproved contact hours and credits towards gaining and maintaining PMI professional designations.”

In addition, the Canadian Construction

Association has designated Sask Polytech as a Gold Seal Accredited Course Provider. The Applied Project Management Program can be applied to education credits of the Gold Seal Certification program – a standard of excellence within the construction industry.

The program is also eligible for the CanadaSaskatchewan Job Grant, a partnership between the Government of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada to help train workers to meet specific workforce needs. Under this grant employers are reimbursed for approximately 60% of all tuition costs

paid.

Information sessions for individuals and employers regarding upcoming program start dates will be held at the Regina campus and online.

Date: Tuesday, August, 18, 2015 Time: 6:30 p.m.

New Art Board CEO The Board of Directors of the Saskatchewan Arts Board today announced the appointment of Michael Jones as Chief Executive Officer of the Arts Board, effective October 13, 2015.

“After a nation-wide search, we are thrilled to have found a leader of Michael Jones’ calibre as the CEO of the Saskatchewan Arts Board,” says Arts Board chair Pamella Acton.

Jones has had a diverse career in the arts for over 25 years, working as an artist, arts administrator, and arts funder. Since 2007, he has been the director of the performing arts program at the Metcalf Foundation, one of the largest private family foundations in Canada making significant, large grants to the performing arts sector.

“I am very excited about building on the Arts Board’s strong history of supporting the arts in Saskatchewan and finding new ways to extend our impact throughout the province. I look forward to working with individual artists, arts organizations and communities as

we find new ways together for the arts to enrich community well-being, creativity, diversity and prosperity.”

At the Metcalf Foundation, Jones oversaw the creation of the Creative Strategies Incubator, (CrSi), a unique multi-year funding program. Under the CrSi program, organizations are supported to address major sectoral issues, and funded companies are encouraged to work together, sharing their learning with each other and with the wider arts sector. He also led research into the viability of shared charitable platforms for the arts sector, alternative means of supporting next generation arts practice, and social finance as a revenue tool for the arts.

Jones served as general manager of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre (2001-2007) and Arraymusic (1998-2001). He has also held senior management positions with the Muki Baum Association (School of the Arts program) and Choirs Ontario.

With a graduate degree in music from the University

of Western Ontario, Jones has continued to be a practicing artist. Working primarily as a director and/or music director in theatre, his credits include work with Acting Up Stage, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Drayton Entertainment, The Red Barn Theatre, Theatre Scarborough, Theatre Sheridan and Victoria Playhouse Petrolia.

The Saskatchewan Arts Board was established in 1948 as the first agency of its kind in North America and second in the world to the Arts Council of Great Britain. In the decades since then, it has continued as a leader in Canada and builds on this strong tradition to meet ongoing opportunities for public investment in the arts community. The Saskatchewan Arts Board recognizes, encourages and supports the arts to enrich community well-being, creativity, diversity and prosperity.

Northern Lights coin unveiled

The final coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s stunning silver coin series A Story of the Northern Lights was unveiled today in Whitehorse with local community and First Nations leaders. The coin features a soaring raven set against a dazzling holographic sky lit by the northern lights.

“This new silver coin merges the old with the new, thanks to the Mint’s unique achromatic hologram technology,” says Sandra Hanington, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “Our employees have used their world-renowned expertise to bring to life two themes that have marked the experience of those who have inhabited Canada for thousands of years: the raven and the aurora borealis.”

This amazing coin is only the third achromatic

hologram coin ever to be released by the Mint.

Struck into 99.99% pure silver using nanotechnology, the holographic sky lit by the northern lights makes for a truly unique reverse design. Artist Nathalie Bertin’s raven image is inspired by First Nations storytelling traditions of the Pacific Northwest.

With a highly limited mintage of only 8,500 and retailing for $109.95, this coin can be ordered as of August 25 from the Mint at 1-800-267-1871 in Canada, 1-800-268-6468 in the US, or online at www.mint.ca.

Starting September 1st, the coins will also be available at the Royal Canadian Mint’s boutiques in Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver, as well as through the Mint’s global network of dealers and distributors, including participating Canada Post outlets.
