Sixty years of the Threshermen’s Show

Keeping traditions alive has become a tradition of its own, as the Threshermen’s Show and Senior’s Festival has reached its 60th anniversary.

never experienced old fashioned threshing or horse-drawn farm equipment. Mandziuk says that keeping the event family focused fits with the history they are portraying, because family has always been a focus of the farm. “With Saskatchewan and the farming community, it was a family business, just as it is today, even if it is of course more advanced.” Mandziuk says that the continued existence of the Threshermen’s Show is a tribute to the

volunteers who make it work. The Threshermen’s Club has been with the museum since 1955, and the East Central Seniors joined in 1977, providing the entertainment. Mandziuk describes the volunteers as the backbone of the event, and says that the effort they put in each year is what makes it happen and what formed the show from the outset. The anniversary of the show was commemorated with an exhibit showing the history of

Mandziuk says that for her, there were memories from back when she began with the museum, and as she grew up with it and the different volunteers. “To see and remember those who have really framed and started this whole show and festival has been really exciting.”

Mikkelson and Spooner want to grow CWHL Meaghan Mikkelson and Natalie Spooner are two of Canada’s premier women’s hockey players, whether you know them from their Olympic gold or their experience on the Amazing Race Canada. They’re touring the Prairies to get people talking about the Canadian Women’s Hockey League with the Prairie Toyota Clarkson Cup Tour, bringing the CWHL’s top prize to prairie towns. Mikkelson says that it has been about getting to places where they might not have the chance to visit during the hockey season, and meeting people where they might not otherwise have the chance. “It depends on the day and where we’re located, but it’s been great to get out to the smaller communities, ones where we don’t have a chance to visit when we’re playing.” Mikkelson grew up in Regina, and has family in Manitoba, so it’s been a chance to get back to her roots as well. “Saskatchewan is a great hockey province.” The league is relatively young, beginning in 2007. Mikkelson says that the league has been a long time coming, and has been growing every year since it began. Part of helping the league grow is just increasing its profile. “A huge part of that is the awareness of it, and it’s not a league that everyone knows about right now. That’s one of the goals of this tour, to increase awareness of the league, and that’s something Natalie and I as players do, help grow the league as much as possible.” While Canada has always had a strong Olympic program for women’s hockey, Mikkelson says that the

THE CLARKSON CUP is the top prize in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. People in Yorkton had the opportunity to see the cup and meet two of the country’s top women’s players, Meaghan Mikkelson (left) and Natalie Spooner. CWHL is a way for players to develop and grow outside of that single event every four years. “In non-Olympic years we still need to be developing and competing at the highest level possible. Outside of college, this is where most of us play, and without this league we wouldn’t have anywhere to play and we wouldn’t be able to continue to improve and develop as a team.” Promoting the league goes beyond Mikkelson and Spooner, however, because it’s as much about the generation that is playing in the future as it is about the current players. That’s part of the reason the tour brought out a synthetic ice rink, to get kids

the chance to be on the ice with premier hockey players, and Mikkelson says the league is now a goal for young girls getting into the sport. “When I was growing up, and when Natalie was growing up, we didn’t have the CWHL to aspire to and play in. There was no professional women’s hockey league that we could set a goal to play in. Now there are little girls who can look at the CWHL and say ‘I want to win a Clarkson Cup one day.’ We didn’t have that, so that’s pretty special. Throughout this tour we’ve met little girls who pick up the cup and say they want to win this one day, and to look in their eyes is pretty special.”

Outside of hockey, Spooner and Mikkelson were also in the second season of the Amazing Race Canada, which they learned about three days after getting back from Sochi. Mikkelson says it was an unforgettable experience. “It was incredible and a once in a lifetime experience that we are very thankful to have been part of. We have very fond memories and some not so fond memories but overall it was incredible.” The back to back adventures for the duo were also a way to keep from having any sort of lull after the Olympics were over. “When you come home from an Olympics... When you’re there it’s such a high and when you come home there’s a period where the excitement is still there, but you go from the peak of excitement and you come home and there’s a bit of a lull and a bit of a low. You hear Olympic athletes talking about that all the time, the post Olympic lull you go through. So it was nice to have the race to jump into, you miss that whole lull which was really nice.” Between Olympic gold and the Amazing Race Canada, Mikkelson says that they believe 2014 was a good year for building awareness of women’s hockey. She says it was a chance to show their personalities beyond who they are as players.

“It gave people a look what’s behind the masks we play with, give a

glimpse of our personality and show people what we’re all about.”

YFBTA wants to see kids exploring nature By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yellowhead Flyway Birding Trail Association (YFBTA) wants to get kids outdoors and into nature. Their summer programming is designed with that goal in mind, getting kids interested in the world around them. Sara Belontz with the YFBTA has been working with kids at different schools through the region, and during the summer she goes to as many places as possible to talk to kids about nature and the environment. She says that the goal is to get kids engaged with their environment. “I love that this program exists just for the sake of getting children outside, for them to learn at a young age environmental stew-

ardship concepts so they can grow up living sustainable lives and enjoying nature and not being scared of it.” The most recent event for Belontz was the Yorkton Public Library, bringing preserved insects and animals for kids to look at, interact with and touch, and also teach kids about the animals that used to own what was on display, such as a woodpecker skull or deer antlers. “There are just so many exciting things that kids like to physically touch, because a lot of times kids can’t actually touch things and experience them for themselves. These are all things located in Saskatchewan.” Getting kids interested in nature involves getting kids out into nature, and Belontz does this as well. There will be a

Nature Exploration Day, the second of the year, on August 13. The day begins with a tour of Sarcan, so people can see what happens to recycling and compost, before moving to the Ecological Ravine for a nature scavenger hunt. The goal of the programming is to get kids more engaged with their environment, and Belontz believes programming like this is vital “Nowdays children are so technologically dependant and they won’t go outside into a park or onto a lawn to play... Now, this is different when it comes to kids in Saskatchewan, I’m sure that more of them are more open to being outside, but I’m from Ontario, and kids are completely different, a lot of them are so sheltered they don’t play outside.”

CRITTERS in the Library is a program to get kids up close and personal with different things found in nature across the province, such as deer antlers, which the YFBTA’s Sara Belontz is pictured showing to kids.

HEALTH FOUNDATION – The Yorkton Co-op is the presenting sponsor for this year’s Health Foundation Charity Road Race, contributing $5,000 as well as the food and drink for the event on Sunday, August 16. Bruce Thurston, General Manager of the Yorkton Co-op (left) says they’re happy to get on board with everything the Health Foundation does, and the proof of that is in the over $150,000 the Co-op has contributed to the many different campaigns over the past few years. All funds raised at the race will go to the new CT scan. Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation (right) says that over 200 runners are already registered but there’s still time to sign up, whether in the half marathon, 10km relay event, 10km or 5km runs, 2km junior race or 5km community walk.

Voters should avoid distractions Love him or hate him, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has taken Canada in a different direction. The shifts are not overly subtle, but often overlooked. We have gone from peacekeeping to active engagement. Our foreign affairs policy is now more focused on commerce than diplomacy. Science is also focused more on commerce over basic research. Federal spending has shifted from national programs and services to targeted tax relief. Justice has become more about punishment than rehabilitation. The list goes on. Depending on who is reading this, you probably either think the last ten years has been a decade of long-needed change or a steady degradation of the country and its values. That division can also be seen in reaction to the election call itself. By dissolving the 41st Canadian Parliament on August 2, the prime minister has given voters the longest election since the Victorian era when transportation and communications were comparatively primitive. Many opponents of the government are incensed and calling the move cynical. Conservative supporters are cheering it under the auspices it levels the playing field. Way too much is being made about the early election call. Incumbent governments always have an advantage in terms of funding and control over the election agenda. Furthermore, the campaign has been on ever since the parliamentary session ended in June. Quibbling over how long and how expensive the campaign is going to be does not serve the electorate. Within a couple of days, another silly quibble erupted. Harper started referring to the leader of the Liberal Party as Justin. The Conservatives even used it in an official press release. Childish, petty and disrespectful? Yes. But hardly an election issue except perhaps as an indication of character. This election is going to be about what kind of Canada voters want to see going forward, perhaps more so than any other in generations. It is important that voters keep their attention on the real issues and not get distracted by the length of the campaign and petty squabbles.

Toyota doesn’t need tax dollars OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reacted to the federal-provincial announcement to provide Toyota Canada with $100 million in taxpayer dollars calling it a “cruel joke on taxpayers.” “Toyota is one of the world’s most successful corporations, with a global profit of more than US$18 billion last year,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Why on earth are our governments handing them a hundred million dollars from the public purse? Will any of them say with a straight face that Toyota ‘needs’ this money?” The free money that Toyota will receive will be in the form of a $42 million “grant” – also known as a giveaway – from the province of Ontario, and a $58 million “repayable loan” – the repayment of which may never be confirmed, due to secretive access-to-information laws – from the Government of Canada. The money is expected to stimulate significant political spinoff effects that will benefit ribbon-cutting politicians across Canada and Ontario. These benefits will come at the expense of the actual programs, services and tax relief that citizens normally expect from their governments. “We appreciate the federal government took special care to note its contribution would be in the form of a ‘repayable’ loan, eliminating any confusion about whether it would be the non-repayable kind of loan,”

Let’s Talk Taxes added Wudrick. Toyota Canada employs approximately 8,000 people in Ontario at its Cambridge and Woodstock plants, none of whose jobs were obviously in jeopardy prior to the decision of benevolent governments in Ottawa and Queen’s Park to hold a press conference to brag about giving millions of dollars to the highly profitable corporation. However, it was unclear whether their votes might be in jeopardy come election time. “Toyota Canada had already committed to investing heavily in its Ontario operations; what is the purpose of this extra bonus money from the public purse?” added CTF Ontario Director Christine Van Geyn. “Then again, Ontario is merely struggling with an $10.9 billion deficit and rising public debt, so we suppose any reasonable person would agree that handing over scarce resources to a thriving corporate entity to create 25 jobs at a cost of $1.7 million per job is the top priority.”

Senate reform through atrophy is a lazy tactic When Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced he’d stop appointing people to the senate, there was briefly a sigh of relief, because he was clearly bad at doing it. The majority of the high profile senators in the expense scandal were appointed under his watch. Following that, one realized that he actually doesn’t have much interest in doing any reforms to the senate at all, it’s a move for appearances sake that is also the easy way out. Here’s the issue, like it or not you need all the provinces on board if you’re throwing the senate away. In order to make a real impact on the operation senate, he would have to start working with every province to either get rid of it altogether – which requires everyone’s support – or do substantial reforms – which still requires most provinces. That’s fine, it’s how massive changes to the constitution should work, and if you can’t get the people on board you probably shouldn’t be making big changes to the constitution of your country. The senate is unpopular at the moment, so in the run up to the 2015 election Harper is trying to position himself as taking a hard line, convince people that he’s going to do something about the senate. That he’s doing this by actually doing nothing about the senate is a bold play, similar to a

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger teenager watching their little sister by leaving them in a different room with a TV and no other supervision, then demanding some kind of credit for how responsible they are being. The tactic is illegal, discarding the senate through atrophy is still discarding the senate, and that requires going through the provinces, something which Harper clearly knows. It’s not the loophole he thinks it is, because everyone knows what he’s trying to do. Given that the senate is unpopular, it probably would be possible to get sweeping reforms through going to the provinces, but that’s hard, and Harper is much more concerned with setting himself up for the next election than he is about actually doing anything that requires real work.

It’s a case of ignoring what people want whether or not they actually agree with him. If everyone wants to get rid of the senate, that’s fine, pose the question to the Canadian people and it’s gone. If people want something akin to the senate but maybe a bit less prone to abusing their expense account, that’s fine, go to them and you can make it happen. Both of those alternatives would require a great deal of work, but with that work you would at least be doing properly and in a manner that is supported by Canadian law. By taking the lazy way out, it’s an insult to everyone. It’s an insult to the constitution, which outlines how we do these things, it’s an insult to the Supreme Court, which also clearly outlined the rules, and it’s an insult to the people of this country, who by law should be consulted. Canada is not a dictatorship, whatever Harper might want, and this is part of the reason why provincial support is a necessary part of making massive changes to the way the country is run. To try to do a runaround in order to avoid this is the cowardly play by someone who doesn’t actually have any interest in the people of the country that elected him. Even those who agree with senate reform should be offended by this middle finger to the people.

Your letter of the Week

Reserves say thank you

DISC requests government to renew commitment to assist people with disabilities To the Editor:

To the Editor: I wish to thank the people of Saskatchewan for their support in ensuring my soldiers from 38 Canadian Brigade Group, indeed their own soldiers of Saskatchewan, the time away from their families and work in support of the forest firefighting north of Prince Albert. 38 Canadian Brigade Group, the army reserves of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northwest Ontario have a proud history of serving in domestic operations, specifically during the floods in Manitoba. Our “citizen” soldiers, who come from all work and educational walks of life, train together throughout the year, leaning how to work as a team in austere conditions. We come together, prepared because of this training – training that demands sacrifice from their families and employers. The Canadian Forces, members from Edmonton, initially

deployed after the call for assistance by the Province of Saskatchewan on July 4th. Shortly after their arrival I started receiving requests by the Regular Forces that more manpower was needed. My staff put out the call for available manpower in Saskatchewan. Within hours my soldiers – living in the communities of Prince Albert, Yorkton, Moose Jaw, Regina and Saskatoon – responded to this call for assistance. In total, 73 men and women, reservists from Saskatchewan, volunteered for this critical and dangerous fire mission. Your citizen soldiers responded and were on the ground within days, training to fight the fire on their first day of arrival, and then getting out to the fires on their second day. For the next two weeks, day and night, they worked hand-in-hand with the provincial fire authorities and battled the relentless firestorm.

One of our deepest commitments to our communities is our domestic response capability. Standing up the Domestic Response Company (DRC) provides our soldiers with a true reality that our province, our people, need us. Bravely entering the unknown, our soldiers have a compelling drive to get the job done in times of need. This true grit makes up every member of the Canadian Forces. I also wish to share a quick story about one of our reservists. At only 19 years old, he was deploying to the fires to be part of this mission. What was very special is that he and his family lived through the raging Kelowna fires in 2003 where their friends and families lost homes. He was only seven then and remembered the soldiers fighting the fires. Pte. Keith Griffith vowed to be a reservist so that someday he could pay it back. His father was with him as he got on the bus. That was one

proud but nervous father. That was one proud reservist. We are now a part of history for Saskatchewan as the last time the Canadian Forces deployed on a domestic mission was over 42 years ago during the 1973 Regina flooding. Now my young men and women, where most were not born then, can proudly go through their own communities knowing they made a difference. Your continuing support in allowing them to train is valued and needed. The growth and development of the army reserves of Saskatchewan, whether employed, from universities or even recently through the high school programs in Regina, needs this support so that when called upon, our “citizen soldiers” will be there for you. Colonel Geoff Abthorpe, MSM, CD Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group

Income inequality in Canada To the Editor: Much has been written about income inequality. You can hardly find a current affairs magazine, newspaper or television program that has not dealt with income inequality recently. In December 2013, President Obama called America’s growing income gap “the defining challenge of our time.” Whether the income gap is a problem or a “challenge” is something for another article. However, the question of whether the income gap, at least in Canada, is indeed growing is something I wish to address here. In a new study for the Fraser Institute, I and my colleagues examine the measurement of income inequality and how changes in the definition of income or the definition of the income recipient can have a major impact on the results. Indeed, and this is a principal finding of the study, we find that after-tax income inequality for individuals has actually declined over the past three decades for which we have publically available data. It is important to explain why differences in income definition and in income recipient matters. A great many studies of income inequality focus on “earnings”—the wages and salaries that employed people receive and any net income from small business (non-corporate) enterprises. The problem with

earnings is that today we have proportionately more people with zero earnings than was the case three decades ago. Despite the fact that there are more two-earner families, we also have more seniors with no earnings; more students living on their own (with no earnings); and more government transfer (i.e. welfare) recipients with little or no earnings. The more people with zero earnings, the greater the measured level of inequality. As well, the more million dollar earners (business, sports and entertainment superstars), the greater is measured inequality. All of this has happened, so we are not surprised to see greater earnings inequality. From 1982 to 2010, earnings inequality rose by 24 per cent using the widely known Gini coefficient as our indicator of inequality. Further, families are smaller than they were three decades ago and this means that, on average, there are fewer people with which to share family income. So, if we define income as after-tax income and then adjust for family size, we get a different picture. Today the income inequality of economic families has only increased by 10 per cent over the past three decades. And, if we look at individuals (any adult with any income at all) and their after-tax (or disposable) income, we show that inequality has actually declined by 4 per cent over the past three decades, again

using the Gini indicator. These findings have several implications: First, they show that inequality measurements are quite sensitive to the choice of income recipient and the choice of income definition. Second, they show that looking at individuals rather than families, we find that income inequality has, in fact, declined a bit since the early 1980s—a result that is confirmed using American data as well. Finally, these results suggest that caution is advisable when we look at studies of income inequality. Dramatic differences can be obtained if we change our initial definitions and indicators. Income inequality is a very complex matter. Substantial social and economic changes have happened over the past few decades and it would be surprising if measured inequality was not impacted as well. The fact, however, is that it has not increased very much—if we look at economic families—or at all, if we look at individual incomes. Of course, income inequality is not the best measure of how the living standards of Canadians changes. For that, we use the goods and services that people actually consume, which is the subject of a future study on inequality to be published by the Fraser Institute.

In 2011, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall stated it was the government’s “vision and goal to make our province the very best place in Canada to live for those with disabilities.” Since that time, the provincial government has increased funding to the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program, which has made a significant difference in the lives of people throughout the province who have severe and long-term disabilities. The current level of funding per month for a person with a disability is approximately $1,300. Unfortunately, the cost of living is continuing to escalate beyond the increases to SAID. That is why the Saskatchewan Disability Income Support Coalition (DISC) is asking the government to renew its commitment by increasing SAID funding by $250 per month per person. We already know that low oil prices are beginning to have an impact on the province’s economy and that impact is even more significant among Saskatchewan’s most vulnerable populations. Whether it means finding an accessible apartment, paying for a mobile device which provides security and connection to community, paying for paratransit, or covering the extra cost of medication and food not already covered under the program, it doesn’t take long for SAID funds to disappear. By increasing SAID funding by $250, the government will be providing people with disabilities with the financial ability to cover the costs of the basic necessities to live. We realize the challenges the government faces in balancing the budget each year, but a commitment to increasing funding on an incremental basis will provide a source of hope for the thousands of people in this province who have a disability. A survey by one of our member organizations, the Canadian Mental Health Association, discovered that over 88 per cent of Saskatchewan residents believe people with disabilities should receive $1,600 or more per month. This indicates there is significant public support for this issue. On behalf of DISC, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation for the support we have received from the provincial government in recent years. We look forward to continuing to work together to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live with a disability. Judy Hannah DISC Chair Saskatoon, SK

So plan your budget accordingly and make sure you’re both on the same wavelength. Big expenses and important decisions; stress; workers in and out all day long; no privacy; dust everywhere: all these factors make for an explosive cocktail. During your home renovations, take some time for yourself to de-stress and be sure to hire competent professionals. Otherwise, you may end up needing to hire a marriage counsellor.

Kill two birds with one stone When the time comes to purchase natural stone for your home, take the time to learn about its proper installation and maintenance. In-store specialists at home renovation stores can suggest which products you need (grout, sealer, cleaner, trowel, etc.) and the best techniques to use. You could always entrust the task to a professional if you don’t like the idea of turning yourself into a tiler or mason for a day. Sometimes urban and contemporary, sometimes rustic and bucolic, stone is always unique. It has no equal when it comes to beautifying a home, and you will surely impress your neighbours with your exquisite taste.

The timeless elegance of stone For thousands of years, natural stone has been used in building projects. Elegant and timeless, it inspires artists, architects and writers from all backgrounds. In fact, the Spanish poet Federico Lorca wrote that “stone is a shoulder on which to bear Time.” Would you like to integrate stone into your next renovation project? Even though there is a wide choice of natural stone, some kinds have been proven over time for embellishing homes — these days we see it in kitchen countertops, fireplaces, stairs, walls, patios and as exterior siding. Granite and basalt Basalt is the most abundant volcanic rock, in terms of volume, on Earth’s surface. It is resistant to water and corrosion and is used in all phases of architectural construction, from flooring to siding. It is truly an all-purpose stone. Granite, which is strong and durable, is ideal for countertops and floors. Marble and slate Renowned for its use by world-famous sculptors, marble can also be used for more practical ends such as floors and countertops. Slate, on the other hand, is a grained stone used for memorial stones and

You hate the ceramic tiles, the leaky faucet is driving you crazy and that colour on the walls, which was all the rage in 2002? Well, you’d rather not think about it. You’ve been dreaming of renovating your home for ages, but be careful — home renovations are often the cause of friction within a couple. Here are a few great tips for avoiding fights with your better half during your renovations. 1. COM-MU-NICATE. Yes, this is still and will always be the key to successful renovating. Be open to your partner’s needs and express your own without imposing your ideas. No one wants to be told what to do and what to like. Instead, explain what is motivating your choices. 2. Ask for advice. You can’t come to an agreement? Talk to an architect, designer or even a friend — if he or she has good taste, of course. Let them play the role of mediator and help you both decide. 3. Plan. Before you start work on your project, schedule each step of the renovations, deciding exactly what has to be done and when.

Enjoy the Perseid Meteor Shower The warm evenings of August are an excellent time to get out under the stars and enjoy the natural sky. Around the 13th of the month, it may be worth sitting up a little later to catch one of the year’s best meteor showers, the Perseids. The Perseids (purrSEE-idz) are what inspired me, as a young lad, to see what the heck this astronomy thing was all about. This meteor shower is reliable and prolific; if you make the effort to get out, it will make the effort to entertain. It is named for Perseus, the constellation the meteors appear to originate

from, currently found low in the north east. To help keep you from getting bored, there are also six lesser showers on at the same time; these meteors will be slower, and appear to come from different areas of the sky. The actual shower runs for nearly a month, with the actual peak of the stream, when the most meteors will appear, being the evenings of August 12th thru 14th. For the Perseids, 60-100 meteors per hour are the norm. This year, the Moon co-operates and stays out of the way, leaving us with perfect dark skies for meteor

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. watching. Meteor showers are best viewed with your eyes alone, and the best time is just after midnight. Bring bug spray, and a warm jacket or blanket; it can get surprisingly cool August nights. Bring friends; it’s a great group activity. Pick a dark spot away from lights, trees, buildings and other tall

obstructions that block your view of the sky. Lie back in a reclining chair or on a blanket facing ‘north-east-ish’, and let your gaze wander. As your eyes gradually dark-adapt (about 15-20 minutes), meteorites will start to appear. Optionally, have binoculars handy for closer glimpses at interesting stuff you’ll spot in pass-

ing. Note that looking at your smart phone’s bright screen will destroy your night vision immediately, so resist the urge to update your Facebook page. Meteors are dust and bits of small rock tossed off, over millennia, by passing comets. Perseid meteors enter the atmosphere at a speedy 60 kilometres per second and totally burn up at an altitude around 80 kilometres. For the Perseids, the parent body is Comet SwiftTuttle which crosses the Earth’s orbit, and drops off more stuff, once every 133 years, most recently in 1992.

Swift-Tuttle’s orbit is such that it will almost certainly eventually hit either the Earth or the Moon, although not for a while. There will close misses August 5th, 2126, and again in September of 4479 (0.0001% chance of it hitting us). Described as “the single most dangerous object known to humanity”, with a diameter of 26 kilometres, it’s impact would be roughly 27 times that of the event that wiped out the dinosaurs. But, for now, be happy. This great annual shower is something worth staying up late for.

Arson investigations are heating up Arson investigations are heating up Saskatchewan hasn’t seen a shortage of wildfires this summer. Most have been caused by uncontrollable acts of Mother Nature, such as lightning strikes, others have been purposely started by people. These types of fires are referred to as arson fires because the people starting them are doing so deliberately and with the intention of causing damage. According to Ken Ness, a senior investigator for the Ministry of Environment, conservation officers investigate approximately 50 arson-related wildfires every year throughout the wildfire season. Ness says that while it’s difficult to find the culprit of an arson fire because the fire can burn away evidence and there are seldom witnesses to the crime, it’s not impossible. Conservation officers are specially trained on how to “read” a wildfire. Once

they determine the ignition area or where the fire started, they can then begin to gather evidence left by the arsonist. Every year they carry out successful investigations that lead to arson charges under the Criminal Code and these charges come with serious consequences. Persons convicted of lighting an arson fire can go to jail for up to 14 years. They can also be held responsible to pay for the costs of suppressing the fire which, depending on the size of the fire, could be in the thousands or even millions. With consequences being so severe, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would start these fires in the first place. “There could be any number of reasons why someone chooses to commit arson,” said Ness “but it usually can be narrowed down to one of a handful of motives.” One such motivator could be profit, wherein the arsonist believes they can generate a

financial gain from lighting the fire. Another is revenge, where the arsonist would start a fire because they are upset with a certain person or group and they think of the fire as a form of pay back. One of the most common and most dangerous motives is vandalism. This motive would mean that the arsonist is lighting a fire for no other reason other than the fact that they have an opportunity to destroy something. And destroy is exactly what a wildfire does. Even a small fire can quickly grow into something larger and more dangerous. The subsequent wildfires that happen due to arson is a serious problem because most of these fires are started near roads and trails that lead to populated areas, and in no time at all those fires can threaten the safety of an entire community. However, communities themselves can take steps to reduce their risk of wildfire

FIRES CAN lead to extensive damage to forest areas. Submitted photo damage. “Residents can do a lot of simple things around their homes to protect themselves and their property”, said Ness. He recommends regularly clearing leaves, pine needles and combustible debris from the roofs, gutters, porches and decks of you home. It’s also important to regularly mow and water the grass around your house and buildings, and to ensure that

wood piles are at least 10 metres from any structures. Anyone with information on arson-related fire can report it to the Ministry of Environment through their TIP line at 1-800667-7561 or online at saskatchewan.ca/conservation. Cash rewards will be paid out to those whose information leads to the conviction of an arsonist.

Woods that blend with any decor Wood is a highly versatile material that can be used in building or for beautifying all types of homes. Nature has given us an almost infinite variety of tree species to work with. Indeed, more than 65,000 species have been identified around the world. Here are some of the kinds of wood most commonly used in construction and renovation projects. Oak A symbol of longevity, the majestic oak can easily live for over 500 years in the wild. Under ideal conditions, it can survive for almost 1,000 years. Oak trees produce a wood that is easy to cut and that rarely cracks. In addition, it is heavy and shock resistant. Thanks to these qualities, oak is often used for flooring, structural frames and stairs.

exotic woods are more expensive than the common kinds, but their rich colours and fine grain are well worth the price. Bamboo is an affordable, elegant alternative and it is also an eco-friendly choice. Reclaimed barn wood and driftwood are also experiencing their hour of glory. Sometimes grey, sometimes bleached, these relics are like treasure to those who know how to breathe new life into them. Decorating with wood: don’t

overdo it! Whatever the type, wood immediately adds warmth to a home’s atmosphere. However, unless you want to create a country cottage atmosphere, be sure not to overdo it. In other words, don’t go crazy by mixing several different types and colours. Use a harmonious blend of woods and stains to create a coherent decor for living the good life. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to call in a professional decorator.

A trio of pines 1) White pine is a fast grower that reaches up to 90 metres high and can have a diameter of 2.5 metres. White pine is a superior quality wood that’s appreciated in cabinetmaking and carpentry.
