Power to Grow: the Sask infrastructure challenge
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The infrastructure in Saskatchewan is aging and needs replacement, and SaskPower wants to make sure everyone knows it.
MY NISSAN
That’s the reason behind the Power to Grow tour, which has been going across the province with an interactive exhibit showing people the challenges faced by the crown corporation. The tour stopped at the Threshermen’s Show
and Senior’s Festival held over the weekend in Yorkton. Derek Friesen, Team Leader for the Power to Grow tour, says that the province has Canada’s second power grid system, and the goal of
2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER
the tour is to get people aware of what it means to replace this infrastructure and why it’s necessary. He notes that the corporation is spending a billion dollars annually on the issue, and the tour explains why it needs to hap-
pen. “SaskPower just wants everyone to know the magnitude of the challenge that they face to rebuild and upgrade this system.” Continued on Page 2.

Threshermen’s Show enters 59th year By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Threshermen’s Show and Senior’s Festival held annually in Yorkton, has entered its 59th year, keeping tradition alive with a wide range of activities that show what it was like to live a century ago. Susan Mandziuk with the WDM says that the event
was another success, with a wide variety of demonstrations and entertainment. While rain did make the grounds muddier than usual, Mandziuk says they anticipated the rain and were able to still run the event without a problem. One thing the show needs to keep going is volunteers, and Mandziuk says that the Threshermen’s club is look-
ing for new members. She says that the event is made by the volunteers, and they are the ones that put the demonstrations together and put up the event itself, and says they put in a lot of hard work every year to make the event happen. “With our club and with our volunteers, everybody helps everybody.” She also notes that people
who volunteer can learn how to keep the traditions alive, with courses on things like blacksmithing. Keeping these things going is more important than ever, Mandziuk says, because kids are less likely to know what that rural life is like, which makes it more vital to show them how the province was built. “Now what we’re seeing, especially with our school
groups coming through, we don’t have as many of the smaller farms, it’s more city students coming through. It’s something we really need to show the children before it’s forgotten.” Mandziuk encourages anyone with an interest in the museum or the Threshermen’s club to call (306) 783-8361 to learn more about being a volunteer.
SCENES FROM THE PAST were aplenty at this year’s Threshermen’s Show & Senior’s Festival held in Yorkton this past weekend.
Infrastructure tour makes stop Con’t from Page 1. The tour is built around augmented reality, Friesen explains, with iPads used as part of an interactive display, with adults and kids getting different experiences. Kids, for example, learned about phantom power, which is when a device draws power even when it is turned off and seemingly inactive. “It’s to open everybody’s eyes and show them that we’ve got the technology right now, and how do we go about rebuilding and updating. It’s
showing people in a way that’s different than giving them a piece of paper to read or a place to go.” With the growth in the province itself, combined with the extra power use by the people already here, Friesen says that the demand on the system is only going to increase. As a result, the message of the tour is one that is important to get across, and make people aware of what is happening with the power utility. More information on infrastructure needs at SaskPower is available at www.saskpower.com/future.
POWERING THE FUTURE showed attendees of the Threshermen’s Show and Senior’s Festival why SaskPower needs to spend billions to update infrastructure, as well as what they can do to use less power themselves.

GIVING IS GOOD – This Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Yorkton recently hosted fellow Kin in the city to celebrate their successes at an annual District convention. During this time together the Kinsmen and Kinettes were able to give of their time to serve others in various service projects. S.I.G.N. was a recipient of the donation of service. A crew of Kinsmen and Kinettes tackled the painting of the hallway at S.I.G.N. on North Street one afternoon! Representatives at S.I.G.N. say they extend a huge “Thank You” to the group for their work and fellowship.
WDM commemorates a decade of history Western Development Museums across the province – including in Yorkton – are taking the time to commemorate an important piece of Canadian history – the one hundredth Anniversary of the First World War. On August 4, 1914 Great Britain declared war on Germany. As a part of the British Empire, Canada too was at war. The implications were profound both here at home and around the world. Some 42,000 Saskatchewan people served in the military. Five thousand were
killed or died of injuries. On the home front farmers grew food, women and children knit socks, rolled bandages, sent parcels to soldiers, and raised money for the Red Cross. To mark the 100th anniversary of the war’s outbreak, the WDM looks back on the lives of three Saskatchewan men who took part. At the Moose Jaw WDM we feature William Hurst Bothwell’s uniform tunic. Bothwell trained with the militia in Moose Jaw before the war. He signed on with
the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force in September 1914. Wounded in 1915, he re-enlisted with the Canadian Machine Gun Corps after his recovery. Bothwell survived the conflict and returned to Saskatchewan. The North Battleford WDM features the uniform tunic of Ernest Elmer Auckland. Born in Ontario in 1888, he had come west in 1913. As a conscript, he reported in early 1918 to 1st Depot Battalion Saskatchewan in Regina. Auckland too survived the
war and returned to farm in the Speers area. The first ever large-scale gas attack was unleashed against troops on the Western Front by the German offensive near Ypres, Belgium in April 1915. The Saskatoon WDM exhibit features a hood-like gas mask worn by William Hurst Bothwell while serving with the Canadian Machine Gun Corps. Frank H. King, an Anglican minister who served several Saskatchewan communities before moving to Australia, signed up as a chaplain. The
portable communion set he used both in Saskatchewan and overseas is shown at the Yorkton WDM. “We hope visitors will pause at our showcase exhibits to see the tangible reminders of the war and reflect upon the stories they have to tell,” comments Joan Champ, WDM CEO. The exhibits will remain on display until mid-November. At a future date, they will tour as one travelling exhibit to each WDM location. Regular museum admission applies.
‘Tis the season – take precautions to prevent West Nile It has affected people in the Yorkton area in the past and it can happen to you too if you don’t take precautions as it is preventable. Saskatchewan Health officials are reminding residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites as the risk for West Nile virus (WNV) continues to increase as we head into August. The risk of contracting WNV infection usually peaks late July and in August when the mosquitoes that carry the virus, Culex tarsalis, are most active and present in higher numbers.
People are advised to take precautions when outside in areas with mosquitoes. “Protect yourself from mosquito bites by covering up and wearing repellents or reducing the amount of time spent outdoors,” Provincial West Nile Virus Coordinator Phil Curry says. “Mosquitoes can be active at any time but are most active in the evening and throughout the night.” People can also minimize exposure to mosquitoes by eliminating mosquito habitats around their homes: • Clear yards of items that can collect water;

• Regularly clean and empty bird baths and eavestroughs; • Ensure rain barrels are covered with mosquito screen or are tightly sealed around the downspout; • Keep bushes, shrubs and lawns clear of overgrowth and debris; and • Make sure door and window screens fit tightly and are free of holes. Although the vast majority of people who have been infected with WNV experience no symptoms, some people will get a mild illness (fever, headaches, body aches) and will improve on their own. A small number of people will develop a more serious illness called West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease, which includes encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.

Symptoms of infection with WNV usually occur two to 15 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. There may be a considerable time lag from when the risk of WNV transmission to humans is greatest to when human cases are confirmed. “If you are concerned about your symptoms, contact your health professional or call HealthLine at 811,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker
adds. “Seek medical attention immediately if you develop severe symptoms such as severe headaches, persistent high fever with neck stiffness, confusion, seizures or paralysis.” Recovery from WNV neuroinvasive disease may take several weeks or months, and some effects may be permanent. In some cases, this form of the disease results in death. Updated information on WNV including risk levels and maps and
surveillance results is posted every Friday before noon on www.saskatchewan.ca/westnile.

Slow down and save a life There’s work underway across the entire province so if we want to see goals accomplished and workers home safe at the end of the day – SLOW DOWN out there. As frustrating as it may be at times to add time to your travel plans, it’s a simple measure we can all take to ensure safety. With Saskatchewan’s short highway construction season passing the halfway point, the government is reminding motorists to always slow to 60 km/hr when they encounter work zones. “Remember to slow to 60 km/hr when you pass through any of Saskatchewan’s many construction zones this summer and fall – it’s the law, and it could save someone’s life,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner comments. “Nothing is more important than ensuring the people undertaking this important work get home safely to their loved ones at the end of the day.” When a driver first approaches a highway work zone, they will see an orange sign with a black image of a worker on it and a tab marked “Workers Present,” followed by a black and white 60 km/hr speed sign. This sign is a regulatory speed sign indicating the legal maximum speed, so the driver must slow down. You will know when you are at the end of a work area when you see an “end of work area” sign followed by a black-and-white regulatory sign indicating the driver can resume the normal speed. There are also circumstances where a 60 km/hr speed limit is warranted even if workers are not present, including hazards such as loose gravel or sharp drop-offs at the shoulder. Patience is a virtue. Keep that in mind as you head out on your next venture.
Smart meter not so smart after all The way I see it... Do you think maybe 100 or so test meters would have been a good plan before they set about installing 105,000 of them? Yeesh... SaskPower has announced it will be spending roughly $15 million to remove new “smart” meters that apparently aren’t so smart and replacing them with the older version. The process is expected to take up to nine months and obviously will involve plenty of manpower dollars. Not to mention all the money that was spent on buying the new equipment in the first place and the costs of labour to get the 105,000 units set up. So after all this, to date there has been at least eight smart meter failures over the past two months that have reportedly caused fires. This in turn prompted the province to put on hold any plans for future installations. Following a brief investigation, government has announced it has decided the new technology has to go. I get that we need to upgrade from time to time and that equipment can’t last forever, but from all that I’ve read about this it makes a person wonder why we went this route in the first place? The manufacturer of the smart meter reportedly has a poor
track record. The units have failed in the past in numerous US cities which are now also trying to recoup their losses. Isn’t this something we should have really checked into before making the call to go ahead? I see is a disgustShannon Deveau ing“What waste from this government. I see mismanagement. This was entirely preventable,” says NDP deputy leader Trent Wotherspoon adding, it would be “unacceptable” for ratepayers’ money to go toward recouping the cost of the meters. And I’m sure this is something that’s weighing on the minds of a great number of taxpayers. A higher than already sky high power bill isn’t going to be a welcome option. “Government has a lot of answering to do. They’ve failed Saskatchewan people on this file... government has to get it right,” adds Wotherspoon. “They can’t put people at risk. They have to make sure they know what they’re buying.” And that they do. We obviously looked at replacements for a reason, and now we’re reinstalling that same old technology that needed replacing in the first place. For the sake of our wallets and our safety, let’s make sure we get work to get this right.

A single power pole is Saskatchewan’s problems On Highway 6 between Dafoe and Watson there is a power pole that is falling over. It’s still connected to power wires, which are the only thing preventing it from being on the ground entirely. For the people serviced by that line, it’s a power outage waiting to happen. I’m not sure how long it has been this way, but it has been long enough to wonder if the pole will ever be replaced, or if it needs to yank the lines out of the socket in order to finally get some attention. Replacing it would be a challenge, for it’s currently in the middle of standing water, an example of how much wetter the province is now than it was when the pole itself was installed. Back then it made sense to put poles in that location and a road through the middle of it, we were not seeing the development of a lake in the middle of the prairie. The water itself is likely why the pole is doing the dramatic lean in the first place, as standing water and wood are not really friends, and the soaked pole has become progressively weaker over the years. Unlike many broken power poles, this will not be a simple repair, though it is an urgent one there is an argument for figuring out the best way to install a power pole in the middle of a pool. There are few examples of the changing climate in the province more clear than a string of power poles installed in the middle of the water.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger That said, the water should also make it a priority, because that’s where the line is going to land when it finally collapses. Water is a conductor after all, and this is going to see a lot of electricity going into this large pool. I am not an expert in the field, of course, but I know just enough to know that this line falling into the water is going to be a very bad thing. Since a bit of preventative maintenance would prevent that very bad thing, it would be good to see the pole repaired next time I drive by. It’s not only an example of the increasingly wet environment faced in Saskatchewan, but also of the challenges SaskPower themselves has been facing. The corporation has been very vocal about needing
to replace a large amount of their infrastructure, and the pole is a small example of the challenges they face. It is one of many poles in the province, many of which are also near failure, and shows the effect an aging infrastructure can have. One could also argue that it shows priorities that are as askew as the pole itself, given that we’re in the middle of the Smart Meter debacle, with $47 million being spent on a program that, while begun with the best of intentions, mostly just started things on fire. While I can’t fault the company for trying to keep other parts of its infrastructure up to date, the program was mishandled, and now we’re seeing millions of dollars down the drain and are no better off for it. Meanwhile, at the edge of a busy highway, a power pole is inching increasingly closely to the water below. The power pole is the problems of the province, as rendered in a rotten piece of wood. Infrastructure is getting old, and what is there is not made for the new, wet reality we live in. These problems can be fixed, it just needs money and effort, as well as the ability to prioritize effectively. If we don’t fix it, the failure could be spectacular, and people could be left in the dark at a moment where it would greatly damage their livelihood. As a province, we need to fix our rotten power poles, literal and figurative.

Gov’t needs to address poverty Canada business To the Editor: Canadians might be surprised to learn that 86 families now hold more wealth than the poorest 11.4 million Canadians. Is this a Canada to be proud of? Hardly. According to many studies, the Canadian poverty rate remains high. A recent OECD report shows that the very rich are taking an ever greater share of income. And a new study from three leading Canadian academics shows the rich obscure the total extent of their individual wealth through private companies, which means they are even richer than we thought. Why should we care? Because poverty and inequities hurt all of us in the long run. They erode social cohesion and create a burden on all taxpayers to pay for poverty reduction, healthcare services, unemployment, crime and homelessness. Our economic system and well-being are at risk of serious deterioration unless we take action now. Here’s what the evidence says about the devastating outcomes of poverty: poorer health, more chronic disease, more avoidable deaths, social injustice, increasing demand and costs for healthcare services and reduced productivity of the workforce. On a large scale and over the long-term, inequality can also slow the economy and erode democracy, political and social stability. Those in the bottom half of the economic pecking order with
stagnant incomes grow resentful, envious, hopeless and distrustful of business leaders and governments. And so we have social unrest such as the Occupy movement. How did we get here? For years, most Canadian governments have followed an agenda based on austerity. They have lowered taxes and cut social
returns on capital (over incomes), tax breaks for capital gains and wealthy estates, and inadequately controlled offshore banking. Economist superstar Thomas Piketty points out that these flaws in our economic system are not a reason to abandon the system itself, which has also led to abundant innovation and wealth creation.
“We are paying dearly for inaction. It would cost taxpayers less to eradicate poverty than to continue to pay for poverty-related policing, corrections, housing and healthcare.” programs to balance budgets with a focus on economic growth and “trickle down” economics. The 2014 report of the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer shows that cuts to income tax, GST, corporate taxes and others amount to governments having $30 billion less to spend per year. For the most part, this has meant fewer income supports for the poor and inadequate investments in social housing, early child development, education, healthcare and infrastructure development (with the exception of the federal stimulus program in response to the 2008 recession). The wealthy have become wealthier with the help of a higher rate of
The solution is rather to moderate the excesses of the system so that prosperity is more equitably shared by the entire population. Even the IMF, which has pushed austerity agendas for decades, has recently stated that growing inequity is bad for economies and judicious redistribution is beneficial for economic growth. Research has shown that countries such as Iceland, Poland and Sweden, which have invested in social programs like health and education in the last decade, have made better recoveries following the recession than those that followed an “austerity” agenda. Economists call what we need “a judicious re-
distributive approach” – that is, to raise government revenues via natural resources, taxes on the wealthy (income, estates, capital), regulation of offshore tax havens, and taxes on externalities, such as pollution, tobacco, alcohol and sugar. Governments should direct these revenues toward social investments such as income support, education, healthcare and infrastructure. The business community also has a role. Businesses can help reduce poverty and inequities by paying their share of corporate taxes and having a triple bottom line – people, planet and profits – with a living wage for their staff, co-ownership and profit sharing policies. The public as consumers can vote with their wallets and support such progressive businesses. We are paying dearly for inaction. It would cost taxpayers less to eradicate poverty than to continue to pay for poverty-related policing, corrections, housing and healthcare. In B.C., the estimated cost to implement a poverty reduction plan is $4 billion annually, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Right now, poverty costs the province up to $9.2 billion per year. Businesses and governments must take measures now to reduce poverty and inequities. It is time for concerned citizens to demand action. John Millar, University of British Columbia.
Why are there no other consequences?
To the Editor:
While the RCMP laid 31 criminal charges against former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy, his prosecution is far from the end of the ethics scandal at the heart of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office. Duffy fell from grace a long time ago. Yet the most important questions about the scandal remain unanswered and there are far too many people who were involved in questionable activities who have not faced any consequences. This entire affair is the result of Mr. Harper’s poor judgement. He was the one who put Mike Duffy in the Senate, despite not having lived in PEI for decades. He was the one who fostered a culture in the PMO where his
inner circle thought it was okay to write a $90,000 cheque to Mr. Duffy. Despite the Conservatives’ claims that one man – former PMO Chief of Staff Nigel Wright – is solely responsible for the entire mess, RCMP documents allege that a dozen senior Conservatives were heavily involved. Many knew about the $90,000 cheque, but did nothing to alert the proper authorities; indeed, the documents attest that some helped facilitate the payment and its terms. The RCMP’s evidence suggests that some were allegedly involved in interfering with the independent audit, changing an independent Senate report and engaging in a cover-up of the entire affair. None have been disciplined or demoted.
A year ago Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson suspended her study of the scandal so as to not interfere with the RCMP’s criminal investigation. Now that charges have been laid, Liberals are calling on Ms. Dawson to resume her investigation into all those over whom she has jurisdiction. An ethics investigation is essential to help repair the damage this scandal has done to the dignity and integrity of our public institutions. The bar for what is acceptable conduct in the Government of Canada should not be whether or not the RCMP has laid criminal charges against you. Geoff Regan Liberal M.P. for Halifax West.
The calibre of the greens is looking good To the Editor: Two more women have stepped forward and secured nominations with the Green Party of Saskatchewan for the next provincial election. Nylissa Valentine will
be our standard bearer in Saskatoon Northwest constituency, and Tracey Yellowtail is the candidate for Prince Albert Northcote constituency. All of our candidates for the coming provincial election are raising the bar for the party,
and that includes both Nylissa Valentine and Tracey Yellowtail. The calibre of Saskatchewan Green candidates for the coming election is easily on par with that of the Saskatchewan Party. Valentine and Yellowtail
give the Sask Greens 33 nominated candidates out of a total of 61 candidates needed for the coming election in 2016. Victor Lau, Leader of the Saskatchewan Greens, Regina, SK.
stands to grow
To the Editor: No surprise to anyone – the United States marketplace has changed since the NAFTA made world headlines in the 1990’s. Since then the United States has been buffeted in ways few would have contemplated. For Canadian companies to stay competitive in the US marketplace of today, they must understand the changing tides and how best to take advantage of what they can offer. The years ahead will see more competition for Canadian products in the United States and so the time is now to take every opportunity of our competitive advantage. What has changed? Let us start with the tragic events of 2001 which spurred Congressional demands for a more “secure border”. American customers now look for good corporate citizens, with whom to do business. Canadian companies who have earned membership in US and Canadian Customs anti-terrorism programs may wish to ensure that their US business partners and customers are aware of this “trusted” status. Second, Americans have grown anxious about the safety of imported consumer products. By 2005, the volume of imports started to raise alarm within the Administration and on the Hill. Congress passed sweeping product safety legislation that imposes new and tougher standards and product testing. Canadian companies are wise to get out ahead in product testing to US regulatory standards. They may want to urge their US business partner to join them in support of the bilateral Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC). Not as sexy perhaps as international trade policy, but the RCC Action plan is where the rubber hits the road in terms of real cost savings for manufacturers. Third, Americans continue to worry about their economic security. The economic downturn of 2008 and beyond unleashed a level of anxiety among US households not seen since the Great Depression. Washington did not sit idle but adopted a number of US domestic preference legislation we know as Buy American. These have shut out too many Canadian component parts and wreaked havoc in well-established cross-border business partnerships. Granted, it’s infuriating but there is an audience here in DC for a North American approach to government procurement. This will take political as well as corporate leadership on both sides of the border. Fourth, to spur export related job growth, the Administration has set an ambitious trade agenda. That will mean more competition from abroad for Canadian products. Continued on Page 8.

The farmer is trained – summer adventures Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Saskatchewan is beautiful this time of the year! Everything is greening up! We drove to Wilkie for a short father’s day weekend trip to babysit our granddaughter while her mom and dad relaxed and enjoyed themselves at a wedding. That cute little bundle of joy has most of her teeth now, and her mobility varies from a slow walk to a fast run! She makes a very cute face when she is thinking about or pondering something. She’s very vocal, and her parents thought that perhaps she was speaking Norwegian, but her pronunciation was off and didn’t make much sense, which made it sound more like Swedish to me! There are some gigantic farms around the Wilkie – Biggar area, and we
heard on the local radio that only 78 per cent of the seeding was done, and then the rain started. Saskatchewanianites here you go, you may live in Saskatchewan if: - You consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by. - You instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year. - Your dad’s suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead. - You have worn shorts and a parka at the same time. - You have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number. - You live in a village or hamlet with a strange name. - Your small hamlet has a large curling rink. - You feel that 0 Celsius is a really nice
day. - You take your children trick-or-treating in a blizzard. - Going south for your vacation takes you just past Regina. - You measure driving distance in hours. - You have hit a deer or moose more than once. - You switch from heat to A/C in the same day and then back again. - You can drive 110 kmh through two feet of snow during a raging blizzard. - You design your children’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. - The driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. - Your description of the 4 seasons are: “almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.” - Road signs warning of “Surface Failure” or “Broken Pavement” rather than potholes. - Small red flags on the shoulder marking “Surface Failure” or “Broken Pavement.”
- Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce. - Down South means Regina to you. - Your July 1st picnic was moved indoors due to frost. - Your snow blower has more miles on it than your car. - You find minus 40 Celsius only a little chilly. You consider Saskatoon at metropolis. Anyway, it is good to be home, because my wife has three projects on the go at the moment. She needs to finish mounting the eaves, prepping and painting the outside of the house and redoing the tarp shed. I am of little help to her with these three projects, but I’m really good at bossing and barking commands! The only problem with that is that she wears these heavy duty ear protectors that blocks out the sound, so she just looks at my lips moving, nods her head and smiles back! I just
Jealousy, Greed and Hate A poem submitted by local poet Irene Svenson
Too much of all of this all around the entire globe Why not converse about the differences And what about a little compromise A friendly hand shake And a gentle warm smile This could work wonders If only they all tried Wonderful examples of deceased icons of peace The late Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa So much happiness and success could come forth on this planet with joyful ease Killing each other The young and the old Blowing up planes Marking our beautiful blue skies Bloodied and broken bodies, as they all lie still This is not the way we all should live If only – no more jealousy, greed and hate Peace on Earth and good will to the entire races.
pretend to be the boss, trust me it is not worth it to argue over that, as I, like most married men, know I will not win such an argument! In fact the only argument I have ever one with a woman, was in my dream a long time ago. Three men, one from BC another from Quebec and lastly a chap from Saskatchewan, met at a departure lounge at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport while waiting for their flights. They engaged in small talk, and soon the topic of wives arose. The BC man told the others that when he married his wife, he told her at the end of the honeymoon that she would have to do all the cooking. When he came home the first day he could see that there was nothing prepared, neither could he see any signs of cooking on the second day, but the third day he saw that she had prepared a wonderful gourmet supper, complete with a nice bottle of wine from an Okanagan winery. The gentleman from Quebec told the others that upon return from their honeymoon he told his wife that she would have to do all the cleaning and grocery shopping. When he arrived home the first day he saw that the house was still a mess and no groceries in the fridge or pantry. The second day he could see that nothing was done that day either, but the third day when he came home he saw that the house was spotless, both the fridge and the pantry were almost overflowing with groceries. The chap from Saskatchewan told his new friends that when
he returned from his honeymoon, he told his wife that she would have to do all the cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. The first day he saw nothing, the second day was no better as he still saw nothing, but the third day he was able to open his swollen eyes a little bit! Finally sunshine! I took the opportunity to use my JD riding mower and cut the grass. I guess our new tenants nesting in the rafters did not approve. I got dive bombed by angry birds, first when I started up the mower, and again when I cut the grass by the front of the house. I could see this little bird standing in the rafters and twittering away, calling in one bomb squadron after another. The dog got the message and ran over to the barn. My baseball cap got peppered with multi coloured bombs, as did the mower! I suppose it must have been nap time for the little chicks, and I was disturbing them. I told the birds in no uncertain terms, pay the rent and I’ll listen to their complaint, but quit bombing me! We had the occasion the other day to have breakfast at Lynn’s, the new restaurant in Sturgis. Ms. Que Linh bought the old Nana’s Nook, redid the interior, put in new tables and chairs, and finished it off with tasty Asian decorations. She serves up Chinese, Vietnamese and traditional western cuisine. Of course I had to have my bacon and eggs, which were done to perfection! We will be going back for dinner one day, as we have heard that it would be a treat!

Business growth Con’t from Page 5. But here is the rub. Washington will want to put its stamp on foreign companies doing business with the United States in the form of mandatory corporate stewardship policies. Here again, Canadian companies are well positioned – our business ethics and corporate social responsibility policies can be strong marketing advantages in the United States. That can’t be said for many other trading partners. Those companies able to market their stewardship programs will be sought after, in Canada as well as in the United States. And lastly, simply put, companies must stay in the game. Canadian companies are savvy and wellinformed of the changing US business environment. Our national compliance rate with US import requirements has consistently topped the list of US trading partners. American businesses will be looking for good partners – not the least expensive partner but long term and dependable partners – those with safe products made with ethical practices and at par with US product standards. Not many countries can make similar claims and this is where our advantage will be in the years ahead. Good manufacturing practices? Yes. Good marketing? Even more so.

CARDS RETURN TO PLAYOFFS IN FIRST ROUND EXIT - Yorkton Cardinals WMBL baseball came to an end for another year as the Cardinals lost 4-2 to the Regina Red Sox at Jubilee Park in a three game first round sweep.
Cards return to playoffs, swept by Regina By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Missing the Western Major Baseball League Playoffs for five consecutive seasons, the Yorkton Cardinals entered the 2014 season hoping to give the city playoff baseball in the WMBL for the first August in a half decade when the team was assembled leading up to the summer. Returning key contributors from the 2013 team as well as bringing in a mix of WMBL veterans and fresh new faces from other colleges, the Cardinals goal was accomplished when they finished above the defending champion Melville Millionaires for the last playoff spot in the East Division. Ending the playoff drought, the Cardinals would be given a tough first round matchup as they would remain playing an East Division opponent in a best of five series with the regular season champion Regina Red Sox in a battle between first and third place in the East. Finishing with a 19-27 record at the end of the regular season following a tough 3-7 stretch over the last ten games of the season, the bulk of which was spent on the road in Alberta, the Cardinals would be in tough as the series began at Currie Field on the weekend in playing a Regina Red Sox ballclub that finished 11 games ahead in the East Division during the regular season. Those problems would continue as a rain delay would push back Game One a day, forcing the Cardinals to adjust their routine after already being on the road. Leading into Game One the Cardinals wouldn’t have much of a problem in naming their starter for the team’s first playoff game in five years, handing veteran start-
ing pitcher Jeff Pool the ball for the first game of the series as the single season leader in innings pitched for the Cards would look to the ballclub proud in their return to the playoffs. Pool had an up and down 2-4 regular season, but sticking around with the Cardinals for multiple seasons was the easy choice to take the mound to begin the series. Pool started the game in command as
both starting pitchers would blank batters for the first two innings before the Regina Red Sox drew first blood on Pool, scoring two runs in the bottom of the third to take the lead. Regina would add one more in the bottom of the fifth before scoring four in the sixth to blow the game wide open in the series opener. Cont on Page 11.

Stoll uses Cup for charity By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After winning his first Stanley Cup, Los Angeles Kings forward and Yorkton product Jarret Stoll brought hockey’s most famous prize back to the Parkland area in a celebration that funded KidSport to give opportunities to local athletes around the area. After winning his second Stanley Cup this June with the Kings against the New York Rangers, Stoll had bigger ambitions in ensuring that his day with the Stanley Cup can help as many people as possible through charity. Stoll, who has raised over $1.1 million for the Royal University Hospital as part of the Jarret Stoll Patient Comfort Fund Endowment, spent his day with the Stanley Cup in Saskatoon to raise more money for his charity efforts while using his status as a popular Saskatchewan born NHL talent for the good of the community. The 32 year old Stoll has hosted golf tournaments in the past in Saskatoon to raise money for the Royal University Hospital, a cause that the Kings player told Global Saskatoon that he feels passionate about. Mentioning that it is an honour to come back and see how his charitable efforts has benefited kids who need various medical treatments. “We put a lot of time into having a successful golf tournament, and raising a lot of money, and this is exactly where the money goes. And it’s good to see that and see what they’ve done and see how happy it makes everybody,” said Stoll. “I’m honoured to come back and spend some time with the kids and their families and that’s what the whole endowment fund that we all created here wanted to do.” Winning the Stanley Cup for the second time in three seasons, Stoll added to what has been quite the resume for one of Saskatchewan’s most accomplished hockey players at both the Junior and NHL level. The Parkland area talent was a former first overall selection in the WHL Bantam Draft before winning the Memorial Cup as a captain in his final Junior season, being named a captain of Team Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships in the process. In the NHL Stoll has been equally
as successful, playing in three Stanley Cups and winning his last two with the Kings as a part of a brewing dynasty in Los Angeles where the team has a chance at adding to their Stanley Cup banners from 2012 and 2014 before Stoll finishes his career. Still despite all of the success in Los Angeles, Stoll hasn’t forgot about his Saskatchewan roots and that also extends to supporting charitable causes in the province in which he was born. Stoll spent six summers from 2006 to 2011 hosting celebrity golf tournaments to raise funds for the Royal University Hospital, making it a no brainer for the player to use his second Cup win to continue to raise money for the RUH. Telling The Star Phoenix that it was special to be able to give back and use the popularity of the Stanley Cup in the province in Saskatoon. “It’s pretty crazy what the trophy does,” said Stoll to the Phoenix about the crowd that the Stanley Cup brings, something he has been able to experience twice now in the last three years in bringing the trophy home to the province of Saskatchewan. “The image and how it shines, and how big the trophy is. I’d be biased maybe, but I’m sure it’s one of the best-looking trophies in sports. It puts a lot of smiles on people’s faces and wherever it goes, people usually follow.” In addition to getting to enjoy the day with the Stanley cup with friends and family in Saskatoon, Stoll mentioned that the biggest part of his day over the weekend with the Stanley Cup was being able to return to Saskatoon and see the children he has helped with the Jarret Stoll Endowment as well as to share a special moment in his career with those who will never forget it at the Royal University Hospital. “It means a lot to come back to Saskatoon and especially to come back to Royal University Hospital,” said Stoll to the Phoenix who mentioned that his focus was on sharing experiences with some of the kids at the hospital that he hopes to help with his charitable contribution. “We wanted to help out with children and their families, making their families comfortable, making the kids comfortable. Hopefully, they have a good experience in this hospital and that’s what it’s all about.”

Taj Smith too talented for Roughriders to give up on Ruttig’s rants
Following the Saskatchewan Roughriders expected win against the terrible East Division in their trip to face the Ottawa Redblacks, the biggest story leading into their game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday is an off the field one as the team will be forced to play a big game against their rivals without arguably their best wide receiving threat in Taj Smith due to violations of his release stemming from an incident in a Regina nightclub last season. On Tuesday the team confirmed that Smith would not play on Thursday when the team travels to Winnipeg for a game that has heavy implications for the defending Grey Cup champions who could inch back closer to the race for first place in the West with a road win against a Bombers team that is surprisingly sitting in first at 5-1 thanks in part to the breakout season of former Saskatchewan backup quarterback Drew Willy. Smith violated a condition of his release during the team’s Ottawa road trip and head coach Corey Chamblin has made it known that the team is still assessing their options with Smith. Many on Tuesday suggested that it may be possible that the Roughriders cut ties with Smith due to his repeated mistakes and missteps while with Saskatchewan, citing the team’s policy for maintaining a public image and upholding certain standards in the community. However Smith has been productive enough in Saskatchewan to warrant the team turning a blind eye to the assault incident that took place outside of a Regina nightclub during the team’s Grey Cup season. After all, the Riders fans as well as coaching staff and front office had no problem rooting on Smith as he racked up 1,007 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during the 2013 season where Smith’s 78 catches did more than a fair share in helping the team
Column Chase Ruttig win the Grey Cup at home last year. That is why Smith is still in Saskatchewan after all while teammate Dwight Anderson was shipped off to Toronto via a trade earlier this season as the team cut ties with the other popular Roughrider who was involved in the unfortunate incident last season where a group of Roughriders players assaulted a man. Smith has now been accused of violating conditions of the consequences he had to face for his role in those criminal acts and while the accused violation for entering a bar is nowhere near as serious as the assault charges that were handed to him in 2013, Smith still made the wrong choice following the team’s win in Ottawa by even going into a bar in the first place during the regular season. Especially with a big game against the Bombers less than a week away, something that shows to some that Smith still has problems with his decision making off of the field. Perhaps even enough to warrant getting rid of the potential distraction that Smith brings each time he gets himself in trouble as part of a
franchise that is constantly under the spotlight in this province. Whether it is fair or unfair, pockets of Riders fans expect morally perfect behaviour from the players that put on the jerseys and represent the team they love which is why the conduct policy was made in the first place. However it is not uncommon for both fans and team to turn a blind eye to the less than perfect acts of players if they are talented enough to ignore less than desirable decisions made off of the football field. From all accounts it needs to be stated that Smith is more than talented enough and is the team’s biggest athletic weapon left on offense with Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler both currently still trying to crack AFC West rosters in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. A 1,000 yard receiver from 2013 who has 11 career touchdowns in under two and a half seasons in the CFL, Smith’s presence on the field is probably a necessity for the Riders to have any hope of defending the Grey Cup unless the team picks up another player. A reality that some fans may not feel is true, but when you look at the options on the depth chart after Smith it becomes clear that the team is going to have to deal with Smith’s legal problems and ensure that he can stay on the field. That likely means that the team is going to have to make it clear to Smith that he is on his last strike with the Roughriders, hopefully a message that will help Smith make the correct decisions to stay out of trouble off the field. Already missing Dressler in the slot, the Riders can’t really afford to move on from Taj Smith until the end of the 2014 season if they also want to contend for another championship. An uncomfortable relationship that Riders fans who are tired of Smith getting in trouble are going to have to deal with.
Cardinals swept in first round of 2014 WMBL Playoffs Cont. from Page 9 Pool would leave seeing seven runs cross the plate during his playoff start, giving up nine hits despite striking out 10 batters in what was a weird start for the Cardinals pitcher who sadly did not end his career in Yorkton on the high note he may have deserved. With Pool out of the game in the seventh, Regina would turn the game into a blowout with a nine run inning on reliever Max Chadsey that was the final nail in the coffin of what was an eventual 16-2 final that turned Game One of the series into quite the statement win for the Regina Red Sox after the rain delay. Regina would score 16 runs on 16 hits while the Cardinals would score just two runs on nine hits in the loss, giving up five errors in
the field to further their troubles in a game that was an all-around disappointment for Yorkton who were looking to potentially steal homefield advantage before going back to Jubilee Park. Instead the Cards were put into a Game Two in Regina where Yorkton would be looking to win to avoid the sweep as well as to potentially set up a situation where the Cardinals could win the series at Jubilee Park in a game that would be the turning point for both ballclubs in the first round, best of five series. Jamie Whitehead would get the start, hoping to build off of his 2-3 regular season where he amassed a 4.15 ERA in nine starts. Yorkton and Regina would trade early runs as the Red Sox would take the lead in the bottom of the second before
in the top of the third Zach Mihic would score on a hit from Matt Collier to tie the game at 1-1. In a low scoring game the turning point would sadly come in the bottom of the fifth as the Red Sox would break the deadlock with two crucial runs to go up 3-1 in a game that was dominated with pitching throughout as a talented and experienced Red Sox staff would shut down the Cardinals bats after getting the slim lead to hold onto their two run difference in a 3-1 final that would send Yorkton back to Jubilee Park needing two wins just to force a fifth game back in Regina. The worst case scenario for Yorkton going into the weekend at Currie Field now a reality for the Cardinals following back to back defeats to begin the series. In a must win Game
Three the Cardinals would hand Cole Roark the ball as the starting pitcher, hoping that the third arm in the playoff rotation would be the pitcher to restore their playoff hopes with a big win in front of a home crowd at Jubilee Park on Monday night. For a third straight game the Regina Red Sox bats would get going early on, scoring two big runs in the top of the second inning on Roark to go out in front at Jubilee Park and steal all of the momentum from Yorkton who were hoping on building off a strong home crowd which was silenced early by the Regina lead. Regina would add two more runs in the top of the fourth inning and while Yorkton answered back with two of their own in the bottom of the inning, those two runs would be the final nail in the coffin of the Cardinals
CARDINALS SWEPT IN WMBL PLAYOFFS RETURN - Game Three starter Cole Roark couldn’t save the Yorkton Cardinals from being swept by the first place Regina Red Sox in the first round of the WMBL Playoffs. Yorkton returned to the postseason in 2014 after five years of missing the playoffs.
season as they could not come back from the 4-0 deficit in a 4-2 final to get swept by Regina in three straight games. Despite the first round exit, coach John McVey was proud of the effort of the ballplayers who came to Yorkton this season in returning to playoff baseball. “It hurts to watch these guys go out in the first round because they all put in a lot of effort in making sure that this team made the playoffs this season as a goal they wanted to accomplish,” says McVey. “A lot of guys returned from the 2013 team and everyone embraced each other in the months we were here and all of these players hold a special place with me as a great
group of young ballplayers.” Yorkton’s season will go down as a success for a ballclub that hasn’t been able to experience the postseason for a half decade up until this year where the Cardinals built a team that showed enough quality over the course of two long months to finish the regular season with a postseason berth, a stepping stone that will hopefully translate into more success in 2015 when Yorkton builds a new roster for another WMBL season. Making the playoffs, the 2014 Cardinals will go down in ballclub history for bringing the team back to the postseason. In 2015 they will hope to build on that accomplishment.
