Vigil aims to prevent violence in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

CANDLES ARE LIT in memory of the victims of violence during the vigil at Dr. Brass School. The event was part of Violence Awareness Week, with the goal of preventing violence within the community.

Violence occurs every day in our community, and a vigil hosted at Dr. Brass aims to bring awareness to how violence affects people, whether within the community or the world as a whole. Lavern Dumka, director of Shelwin House, says the vigil is held to commemorate the senseless death of 14 female engineering students at a university in Montreal in 1989, but it also exists to remind people that violence is still occurring. Part of the reason for bringing the vigil into the school is to confront issues facing students, Dumka says. For them, the most relevant issue is going to be bullying, and that was reflected in the theme of the day, with guest speaker Rachel Ashley speaking of her experiences with bullying and how she overcame the abuse she experienced in school. With bullying leading to the suicides of young people nation wide, Dumka believes that a positive message is something kids need to hear so they can overcome their own struggles. Beyond responding to the difficulties students

have in their daily lives now, Dumka believes that educating youth in the community is the best way to reduce violence in the future. “I really believe that we can plant the seed that violence is not acceptable and there are alternatives. Everyone gets angry, that’s a normal emotion, it’s what you do with that anger.” The annual vigil is a reminder of the violence that is still prevalent in the community, Dumka says. Shelwin House and similar transitional homes continue to be needed as the rate of violence is not decreasing. “According to Stats Canada, one in four women are abused, so if you walk down any street in Yorkton while we’re celebrating Christmas, if you did a count of every fourth house, that’s how prevalent it is in our community.” While this is Violence Awareness Week, Dumka says that at Shelwin House they work every day to prevent violence, and they hope that kids like those in attendance at Dr. Brass will be an integral part of reducing the rates of violence in the future.

Update on the fire at Yorkton Manor By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Last week saw the end of a historic apartment complex in the city. Yorkton Manor, built in the old hospital building, was a total loss after catching fire on Tuesday evening. All 50 residents were safely evacuated. The fire began shortly after 9:00 p.m. in the south west corner of the building before quickly spreading to an entire section. Some residents had to be rescued using the ladder truck. One of the people who lost everything in the fire was Dean Samborski, who says that the only

things he owned after the fire were the clothes he was wearing at the time. “I was sitting at home at around 9:00 and the fire alarm went off and a guy was running down the hallway going ‘Fire! Fire! Fire!’ so I got out of the building.” The big loss for him is a medical scooter, needed because he only has the use of one arm and one leg, after a motorcycle accident left one side unusable. While he has insurance on his belongings, until he gets the equipment replaced it’s difficult to get around. The big concern is finding a place to live. Samborski lived in the

building for two years, and it was a struggle just to find that apartment. It is also more difficult for him to find a place to live due to his mobility problems, he needs something ground floor where he can store and charge his scooter. “That’s what I’m really worried about, because I’ve got no place to live... There’s nothing available to rent in Yorkton, and if there is they want thousands of dollars for it, and it’s garbage.” Samborski says while there are some practical worries that come along with replacing everything, he’s already moved on.

“It doesn’t bother me, it’s gone so it’s gone, you can’t live for yesterday you have to live for tomorrow.” Melanie Horton, Outreach Coordinator with the Canadian Red Cross says that donations were coming in fast for the former residents, with the Salvation Army handling clothes and furniture. Just as Samborski predicts, the most difficult part is finding new accommodations has been the hardest part so far, though Horton says they are collaborating with Avenue Living, which managed the building, as well as the

City of Yorkton, to find new accommodations for residents. The Howard Johnson Inn provided accommodations until the residents could have a more permanent residence. “It’s a tricky market, it’s pretty busy right now and there’s not a whole lot of availability, so we’re really scrambling to find accommodations for everybody. But, we’re hoping to have everybody relocated by the end of the week.” Horton says that the community has quickly put their support behind the people who lost their homes. “There’s been a lot of

people who want to help, my phone has been ringing off the hook from people who want to donate anything, from couches to rides and that sort of thing. It has been really great to see the community come together and help.” The Salvation Army is currently accepting donations of clothes, small appliances and furniture for the fire victims at their thrift store at 20 Betts Ave. Those who wish to donate money can do so through the Red Cross. Wal Mart is also accepting donations of toys and food hampers.

Mining open house very well received Near-record attendance and a sold-out trade show were among the indications of the positive climate in the province’s mining sector at the 45th annual S a s k a t c h e w a n Geological Open House held in Saskatoon on December 1-3.

The wealth of information and data offered at the event, held through the joint efforts of the Ministry of the Economy and the nonprofit Saskatchewan Geological Society, attracted international attention to Saskatchewan’s miner-

al potential and will be utilized by mining companies to carry out exploration operations within Saskatchewan. More than 700 delegates were in attendance for the open house, including representatives from nearly every mining and min-

eral exploration company active in Saskatchewan, service providers to the mineral exploration industry, and students and faculty from the geology departments at the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan as well

New market for oilseeds Chalk up a major internal trade win for Saskatchewan, as the province’s oilseed producers and processors now have access to the large Quebec market. Last week, the Government of Quebec made changes to its Food Products Act removing barriers to the production and sale of vegetable oilbased dairy products. Those barriers were successfully challenged this spring by the Saskatchewan government under the p a n - C a n a d i a n Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The Saskatchewan government had also successfully challenged Quebec labelling laws that prohibit the use of terms like ‘milk’, ‘butter’ and ‘cheese’ for dairy substitute products. While those rules remain in place for now, last week’s changes mean that Saskatchewan edible oil products can now be freely sold in Quebec. “This is a welcome and overdue development for our producers,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “They now have more market access opportunities for the many products that use Saskatchewan edible oil ingredients, such as certain margarines, coffee whiteners and dessert toppings.”

Saskatchewan’s Minister responsible for Trade Jeremy Harrison noted that there is still a formal appeal underway by the Quebec government of the earlier ruling of the AIT dispute resolution panel, but said he is confident that Saskatchewan’s successful challenge will be upheld. “Quebec may have appealed the earlier AIT panel ruling on this issue, but we’re hopeful that its legislative actions last week reflect a genuine commitment to finally tackle these unfair barriers to trade,” Harrison said. “We view this as a positive sign as provinces, territories and the federal government begin negotiations to improve internal trade in Canada. “The AIT appeal panel’s final ruling is yet to come, but we believe the panel will confirm that Quebec’s amendments to its Act were indeed necessary to address unfair trade barriers. We hope the ruling will also ensure that Quebec addresses the outstanding barriers to marketing oil-based dairy products within its borders.” “This is a good first step on Quebec’s part under the Agreement on Internal Trade,” Vegetable Oil Industry of Canada President

Sean McPhee said. “We’re looking forward to the publication of the appeal panel’s report and Quebec’s full compliance with those find-

ings.” A final ruling by the appeal panel is expected to be made by the end of January.

as the mineral technology programs at Northlands College (La Ronge). The student technical poster competition saw a record 24 posters summarizing thesis research projects, with 16 submitted by graduate students and eight by undergraduate students. The sold-out trade show comprised 61 booths. In addition to providing access to data and research on Saskatchewan’s mineral opportunities, the event also enables consultations between the government and industry associations and related organizations such as the Saskatchewan

Mining Association, the Geological Survey of Canada and universities. According to the Fraser Institute’s 2013 Survey of Mining Companies, Saskatchewan’s mineral potential and investment attractiveness both ranked second in Canada, and the value of Saskatchewan’s mineral sales in that year was approximately $7.1 billion. The mineral industry provides about 30,000 direct and indirect jobs in the province, including direct employment for more than 2,000 people in northern Saskatchewan.

Snowarama 2015 campaign kicks off By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer For 37 years snowmobile enthusiasts have gathered in Yorkton for Snowarama, raising money for Camp Easter Seals in the province. In 2014, those riders raised $160,000, and a total of $1.7 million since the inception of the event. In 2015, the event will be held on February 7. This year’s event will see riders begin at the Gallagher Centre on Saturday morning, ride out to Good Spirit Lake for lunch and to refill the sleds, with fuel supplied by Yorkton Co-op, and then back to the Gallagher Centre again for the banquet Saturday night. Barry Bradshaw, chair of the event, says there will be a few different trails for riders,

granted. “It increases participation and self confidence for kids. In the end that is the main goal of community inclusion and extremely important... Kids with disabilities can’t just sign up for any summer camp and go ahead and join.” This year riders will have the opportunity to win a 2015 Arctic Cat Lynx, with each $150 raised going towards an entry on the snowmobile. Anyone who would like to ride in the event is invited to call 306782-2463 or visit www. snowarama.ca.

SNOWARAMA kicks off again at the Yorkton Co-op Agri Centre. The 2015 event will see riders once again raise money for Camp Easter Seals in the Province. Brooke Perpeluk, above left, is the Easter Seals Ambassador for the event, and says going to camp is a highlight of her summer. She receives a certificate from Deana Jesmer, Community Relations Coordinator for the Saskatchewan Abilities Council Yorkton Branch. depending on how long they want to ride and

Insurance Act changes The Government of Saskatchewan is introducing major changes that will modernize the insurance industry and strengthen consumer protection. The Insurance Act replaces The Saskatchewan Insurance Act and is the first major revision to insurance regulation in the province in five decades. “A lot has changed in the industry since revisions were last made to the Act, especially when it comes to technology,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “The new Act will give the insurance sector the flexibility it needs to evolve in a rapidly changing environment, strengthen consumer protection, and move toward harmonizing insurance legislation with Alberta and BC.” Changes proposed in The Insurance Act include:

Better protection for consumers through market conduct standards, which identify unfair practices; Streamlining the appeal process; Restructuring the Saskatchewan Insurance Councils and allowing them to conduct audits and investigations; Requiring insurance companies to recommend and screen those applying to be intermediaries as well as supervise them once approved; Updating licensing categories and requirements including licensing employees that sell insurance as insurer’s representatives, which requires the same level of training as insurance agents; Permitting insurance agents to adjust insurance claims to a prescribed amount; and Requiring insurers to point to specific

clauses in a policy where there are limits on the amount payable. Work to develop the new Act involved interprovincial comparisons and review of other provincial and national projects on insurance and financial services, but the model used in Alberta was deemed to best fit Saskatchewan’s needs. Alberta’s legislation is similar to that in BC, meaning Saskatchewan will share similar insurance regulation with all provinces in the New West Partnership Trade Agreement. A number of industry associations were consulted, including the Insurance Brokers Association of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Insurance Councils and they have expressed their support for modernization of the Act.

Land sales third highest The December sale of petroleum and natural gas rights raised $18.3 million in revenue for the province, bringing final land sale revenues for the 2014 calendar year to $197.9 million. The average of $988 per hectare for land sales in 2014 ranks third highest all-time, behind the $1,461 per hectare averaged in 2008 and the $1,029 per hectare averaged in 2010. “Saskatchewan has worked hard to develop a positive investment climate for the oil and gas industry, so it was reassuring when the recently released Fraser Institute’s annual Global Petroleum Survey once again ranked Saskatchewan as the number one place in Canada and third globally for oil

and gas investment,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Record drilling and impressive land sale revenues over the past few years suggest that industry is pleased with our policies and regulatory regime, and given that we are competing on a global level for investment, the Institute’s report is something we take very seriously.” The December sale saw the WeyburnEstevan area receive the most bids with sales of $11.9 million. The Kindersley-Kerrobert area was next at $4.5 million, followed by the Lloydminster area at $973,220 and the Swift Current area at $864,218. The highest price paid for a single parcel was $1.3 million. Ranger Land Services Ltd. acquired the 1,165hectare exploration

licence north of Arcola. The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $9,319. Northend Resources Ltd. bid $603,404 for a 64.75hectare lease southeast of Estevan. The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights will be held on February 2, 2015.

given that the trail system is well documented and groomed it’s easy for riders to find an entertaining route to Good Spirit and back. Bradshaw has been involved with the event since its inception, and says that it’s something he is proud to be involved with. “I just enjoy doing it, I like seeing where that money goes to help kids.” Deana Jesmer, Community Relations Coordinator for the

S a s k a t c h e w a n Abilities Council says that the ride is all about kids like Brooke Perpeluk, the Easter Seals Ambassador for the event. Money raised goes to sending kids who have disabilities to the fully wheelchair accessible camp, giving them the opportunity to do things most kids take for granted, and have a full camp experience, with activities like horseback riding and swimming that other kids might take for

Transparency good for everyone The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has responded to the federal government’s First Nations Financial Transparency Act deadline with both praise and disappointment. The federal government has indicated that majority of the nation’s 582 bands covered by the new transparency law have disclosed their pay and financial statements to their residents and the public – something municipal and provincial governments, as well as the federal government, have done for years. “We started calling for this disclosure law back in 2009 so we’re glad the vast majority of aboriginal reserves are abiding by the new law,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig. “The disclosure of chief and council pay information and band financial statements will help band members hold their elected officials accountable and compare their community’s results with others.” “It’s unfortunate that some chiefs and councillors are holding out and putting their desire to keep their pay details hidden ahead of the well-being of the people living in their communities,” added Craig. “We would like the federal government to indicate which bands have refused to disclose their information versus bands that are disorganized. And we expect appropriate action to be taken.” So far, the new law has already proved its importance. A couple examples include: The discovery of Chief Ron Giesbrecht’s $800,000 “special deal.” Not only were band members aghast after learning about the chief’s pay, fellow council member Marvin Joe told media that even he wouldn’t have known about the chief’s pay “if it wasn’t for this new transparency act.” The defeat of a husband-and-ex-wife (chief and councillor) duo from the Shuswap First Nation after band members learned the tiny reserve’s politicians had been making over $200,000 tax-free; more than Prime Minister Harper. CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig.

Chief health officer needs a voice Buried in the current omnibus budget bill currently being studied by Parliament is a plan to demote the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. He will no longer hold a deputy minister rank, he will have no direct line to the federal minister of health, he will be subservient to a bureaucratic agency president and he will have no secure public funding. The new Chief Public Health Officer has said he is in favour of this plan, as shrugging off managerial oversight for the Public Health Agency will free him to provide scientific advice. That may be so, but will anybody be listening? Will he even be allowed to speak? We seem to have forgotten the harsh lessons of SARS. It was just 11 years ago when the World Health Organization slapped Toronto with a travel advisory, costing the city $2 billion and 28,000 jobs. This was not because of the number of SARS cases (similar in number to Singapore, which had no such advisory) but because Ottawa did not have a public health leader who could effectively coordinate with the provinces and communicate the outbreak’s status to other countries. SARS shone a light on the enormous hurdles that Canada’s version of federalism - with provinces largely in charge of their own health dollars and direction - poses to effective country-wide pandemic responses. Significant change was needed and proposed, including the establishment of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The idea was that new structures and an empowered Chief Public Health Officer could forge a new vision for Canadian public health, ensuring collabora-

tion and cooperation across provinces and territories. The key was building trust: provinces and their public health departments needed a guarantee that the federal government’s public health pronouncements were based on scientific principles rather than political talking points. Science has never actually been allowed to trump government politicking; the Chief Public Health Officer was made an officer of government instead of an officer of Parliament, thereby preventing him from exercising full independence like our Auditor General, the Official Languages Commissioner and the Privacy Commissioner. That was a mistake. But at least he was given some independent powers to speak to Canadians and a mandate to engage in public activities and citizen dialogue. More than likely the omnibus budget bill will go ahead and we will be left to regret its folly in the wake of another harsh public health lesson - which may play out on the international stage, as in the case of SARS. After some handwringing - and undoubtedly several Commissions and reports - we will return to this inevitable conclusion: the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada needs to be independent of federal and provincial governments. Someone needs to speak public health truth to power on behalf of all Canadians. We are all less safe without it.

Christmas is about giving to people who aren’t me During the Christmas season in previous years, I would often write a silly column about all of the dumb things I really wished someone would buy me. It would contain things like movie box sets and expensive electronics, all stuff I couldn’t really justify buying but liked to act as though were great gifts to buy some guy you don’t know. I did it for the fun of it all, I could justify going around the internet looking for goofy, overpriced presents and try to make a gift guide that was sort of transparently silly. It was fun to write, even though it was probably something that was much more fun for me than it was for anyone reading it. I tried to bring it back this year actually, you’re looking at the end result of several attempts to try to convince people that buying an elaborate box set of samurai movies for a man you’ve never met would be an excellent way to start the Christmas season. It was all very silly but this time it wasn’t actually very entertaining, I kept running into a wall with it and had to start from scratch several times. This year, it’s actually not very fun to write an extended riff on all the stupid things I can’t justify buying this year. It’s not as though I don’t enjoy looking up silly presents and pretending they’re great ideas, it’s that it just seems rude this time around.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger I discovered I can’t even joke about people buying me something extravagant, useless and kind of stupid in a year where a lot of people lost their homes and everything in it. Even as the community does rally together to support the people who lost their homes in the fire at Yorkton Manor, it’s still a difficult time for all the residents, and while stuff like clothes can and will be replaced, other things in their life are gone for good. It’s not like it’s the first time people have lost things in town, I’ve been here for more than one flood and more than one fire, but it feels a bit raw to explore the folly of our most elaborate attempts at consumerism when faced with a potent reminder of how irrelevant it actually is.

Things aren’t terribly important. We surround ourselves with them, they can easily get wiped out. No matter how much you pay for your various things, they can disappear entirely in the span of an evening, without warning. It’s just that this year we have a potent reminder of the fragility of these things, though luckily we do not have a reminder of the fragility of life itself, given that everyone survived. It becomes incredibly difficult to do my regular jokes about Christmas gifts when I kept thinking about the people who lost everything, both trivial objects and those that are incredibly important in their lives. So this year, I don’t want things. I can’t even pretend I do for the sake of a joke, given what has happened. I have my house, I have my stupid cat that I still like for some reason, I have my friends and family who I care about even if I don’t talk to them as much as I should. I have had great experiences I can remember fondly, and I have plans to have more great experiences in the future. I have some creative projects that are going well, some of which will show up in the near future. Things could always be better, but they can’t be improved by any silly gift I would suggest. So if you want to give stuff to a stranger, give it to someone who needs it more than me.

Income splitting costs adding up

Carbon tax wrong choice for Canada

To the Editor: Stephen Harper’s former Finance Minister, the late Jim Flaherty, laid out a devastating critique of Mr. Harper’s illconceived Income Splitting scheme. He panned it as too expensive and unfair. The unfairness comes from the undisputed fact that Income Splitting benefits only a small fraction of Canadians - fewer than 15%. More than 85% of households gain nothing at all. It’s a telling point that Conservatives no longer talk directly and specifically about “Income Splitting”. It’s been their sole defining policy since Mr. Harper first committed to it during the 2011 election. But now, those two words rarely cross their lips. Knowing that Mr. Flaherty’s criticisms were right, Conservatives now

drown Income Splitting in an alphabet-soup of other policy pronouncements. The camouflage strongly suggests they’re embarrassed to defend it on its own. The scheme will cost at least $2.4-billion in its first year that is, this year. Since the Conservatives remain in deficit this year, every penny of that $2.4-billion will be borrowed money, adding to the federal debt. The future annual cost of Income Splitting is projected at about $2-billion per year. But many other real costs have already been incurred. They’re in the federal programs and services that have been sacrificed to precondition the government’s books for Income Splitting to be imposed. Here’s a small sampling: Services to Veterans

top the list. Remember the $1.1billion of approved funding that disgraced Minister Fantino has failed to deliver to veterans over the past several years. Remember the nine offices providing specialized veterans services that this government closed. Remember the recent Auditor General’s report that chronicled Conservative neglect of mental health needs. Public health and safety are next on the list. The Transportation Safety Board has just reported on the government’s serious failings in rail, marine and air safety. Deficiencies in food inspections have put lives at risk. Environmental protections have been slashed. Marine search and rescue, forensic labs, emergency preparedness, even supervision of

Canada’s spy agency have all been victims of Conservative cuts. Then there’s C o m m u n i t y Infrastruc ture. The Conservatives have specifically carved a huge hole in their Building Canada Fund this year. It’s down by 87%. They say it will be replenished at a later date. But even at best, three-quarters of this funding has been postponed until after 2019. Cuts to Veterans. Public health and safety. And C o m m u n i t y Infrastructure. These are some of the tangible losses imposed on Canadians to position Mr. Harper to implement Income Splitting. Is it worth it? Is it fair? Ralph Goodale Member of Parliament for Wascana

Wage increase not the answer

To the Editor:

Activist groups across the country are pushing for higher provincial minimum wages, framing them as a way to help Canadians escape poverty. The aim of helping poor families is something we all want, but increasing the minimum wage isn’t the right policy. It sounds straightforward: get the government to legislate a higher wage so lowwage workers earn more. This oversimplification fails to account for a number of facts including who actually earns the minimum wage and the unintended consequences minimum wage hikes. The vast majority of minimum wage earners are not part of poor households. (Poor in this sense is defined by Statistics Canada’s low income measure which is not a measure of absolute poverty but rather relative low-income.) According to a major report for the Ontario government, 81.5 per cent of minimum wage earners in Ontario in 2012 did not live in poverty. This surely presents a conundrum for those advocating minimum wage increases as a way to fight poverty. What explains the counterintuitive reality about minimum wage earners? Most are not the sole income earner in their household but in fact young people starting out in the labour force while in school. The same Ontario government report indicates that 61.8 per cent of minimum wage earners are between the ages of 15 and 24 and that 56.3 per cent of minimum wage earners are living at home with their parents. 17.4 per cent of the remaining have working spouses, meaning their household income is higher than what a single minimum wage would

provide. Thankfully, the image of a single parent struggling on minimum wage to make ends meet is a rarity as single parents make up only 2.6 per cent of minimum wage workers. This basic data on minimum wage earners helps to explain why academic studies consistently find that minimum wage increases do not reduce poverty. At best, Canadian researchers find no statistically significant effect. At worse, they find minimum wage increases can actually increase relative poverty. Poverty can increase when minimum wage hikes make some low income households worse off by reducing employment opportunities for young workers in the family. The tendency for young and low-skilled workers to be negatively affected by minimum wage hikes is clearly highlighted in a comprehensive review of over 100 academic studies on the subject by Professor David Neumark, the foremost expert on minimum wages. The over dozen Canadian studies examining provincial minimum wage hikes are more conclusive and show larger negative effects than in the United States. On average, the Canadian evidence finds that a 10 per cent increase in the minimum wage decreases youth employment by between 3 and 6 per cent. The economics of these findings are as follows. When governments impose a minimum wage higher than what would otherwise prevail and without corresponding productivity increases, employers find ways to operate with fewer workers. While the more productive workers gain through a higher wage, their gain comes at the expense of others who lose as a result of fewer employment

opportunities. Young and lowskilled workers are most adversely affected because they possess less job qualifications and experience. Minimum wage hikes ultimately rob young people of the opportunity to gain work experience that helps them develop basic skills and earn higher levels of income. Indeed, research finds that earning the minimum wage is often a stepping stone to higher paid work. But focusing solely on the employment numbers misses other negative effects from minimum wage hikes. Employers also respond by cutting back on hours, providing less on-the-job training and giving employment priority to the most productive workers. Minimum wage activists also ignore the policies currently in place that help augment the income of low-wage workers. For instance, the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) provides a subsidy to workers, depending on their family circumstances and where they live. Unlike the blunt minimum wage instrument, WITB actually targets benefits and imposes almost none of the negative side-effects noted above. If we are genuinely interested in helping the poor, we first need to know who they are and what makes them poor to begin with. Hiking the minimum wage will impose large costs and do nothing to reduce poverty in a meaningful way.

To the Editor:

Carbon taxes are back on centre stage in Canada, after a new “bipartisan” Ecofiscal Commission came out in favour of the idea. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is also talking about carbon taxes, as is Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. That makes this an opportune time to review some of the problems with the idea of Canada engaging in unilateral carbon pricing. Since proponents of carbon taxes justify the tax primarily on the grounds that it will protect the environment, we should consider that argument first. According to Environment Canada, Canada emitted about 1.8 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2012 and emissions are expected to continue to decline. Given that Canada is such a small emitter (in a global context), Canadian emission reductions even if they were dramatic - would have no measurable impact on the trajectory of the future climate. With regard to conventional air pollutants, Canada’s air quality has been improving for decades, and will continue to do so. Thus carbon taxes in Canada are not about achieving environmental improvements. So if it isn’t about environmental protection, what is a carbon tax about? Essentially, it is about changing people’s behaviours in ways that drive them away from activities that produce greenhouse gas emissions, activities that are, overwhelmingly, related to how we consume energy - energy in our homes, in our cars, in our workplace, in our schools, hospitals, and in our diet. And given that we are all quite different in our preferences, we will all be affected differently. Do you prefer a free-standing home to a small apartment? Sorry, you’ll have to pay up - you almost certainly emit more “carbon” than the urbanite in the micro-condo (and that doesn’t include your commute). Do you have health issues that require you to maintain a particularly cool home in summer, and warm in winter? Sorry, you’ll have to pay the tax or pay more for insulation. Is your family spread across Canada, requiring travel to visit? Sorry, but you’ll pay more for all forms of transportation when you go to visit Grandma. Do you take a lot of prescription drugs, or use a lot of medical procedures? Sorry, get out your wallet; energy costs are a significant component on the final health care bill. Do you like meat? Sorry, expect the price of your meat to go up more than other foods that produce less greenhouse gas emissions. Do you like fashionable clothing and buy new clothes annually? Expect the price of those new threads to increase under the new carbon price. The list of people who’ll be hit by the carbon tax is pretty much endless. Do you want to have, or want to build, a gourmet kitchen? Handicapped and need a car? Need a large car for your family’s hockey gear? Want that big-screen TV to display your DVD collection? Like bottled water? Wash your clothes in hot water? Prefer a heated dishwasher to lukewarm hand washing? Sorry, but all these choices are going to cost you more under a carbon tax. Now, not everyone will feel the pain. Generally, when carbon taxes have been implemented, as in BC, some of the tax is rebated to those in lower-income brackets. And in still other versions, such as Alberta’s, carbon taxes generate some winners in the form of those research groups or companies that the government pays to conduct research into greenhouse gas emission control. Some economists support carbon pricing because they’re primarily concerned with matters of economic efficiency, rather than considering the question of whether or not one ought to engage in an activity in the first place. . Carbon pricing tends to be one of those favoured options when governments (or NGOs) declare the road to greenhouse gas emission reduction. And yes, carbon taxes are theoretically “more efficient” economically than regulations or emission trading systems might be, but unless they’re global, they are not efficient at producing environmental benefits. They’re most efficient at expanding governmental influence over people’s lifestyle preferences. Kenneth P.

New school reaches major milestone By YTW/YNR Staff With an entire wing of the high school in Langenburg closed because of air quality issues, the need is greater than ever for the new building. That came one major step closer to fruition December 5 with the official groundbreaking for the new K-12 facility. “It’s a great day for our community, we’ve been waiting a long time,” said Don Fogg, Langenburg mayor. “This sets up our community for the next 50 years and it’s a great day.” In addition to serving the current population, he said it is an important issue for many prospective residents. “One of the big things when anybody is looking is education and health care and stuff like that and with a brand new school like this I think it’s going to be a draw for our community.” Lois Smandych explained it will not just be a place for kids to get an education, but a focal point for the community with two gyms that can be opened up to create a large auditorium and a fitness centre for all residents. The town raised funds to include the fitness centre. The mayor said they also factored into the design the future possibility of

tying the building into a community pool the town is considering building. “It is so rewarding for all the hard work and for what everyone wanted to do,” Smandych said. “Quite often you have a dream and you hope everything will come together, but when it actually starts to come together, it’s just an awesome feeling. ”It is coming together largely because of the $23 million commitment by the provincial government. Local MLA Bob Bjornerud represented Education Minister Don Morgan and the Province at the groundbreaking ceremony. “When you see something like this come together, it’s just a great day,” Bjornerud said. “The next best day is going to be the day we open the doors and I hope I’m going to be around to take part in that. ”If all goes to plan that day will be the first day of school in September 2016. Crews will be working through the winter to make that happen. As the ceremonial shovels went into the ground Premier Brad Wall was tweeting about 15,300 new jobs in Saskatchewan in the past year. With all that activity, enrolment in the province’s schools is projected to grow. Bjornerud said the government is

which is one of the best things we’ve had happen to the province for years. When we see more young families moving into places like Langenburg, it just bodes well for the future of the province. ”He said it is a challenge that the government will be looking to the private sector and communities to help solve. We’re going to be using

Salvation Army wish list The Salvation Army is looking for some help in its effort to supply 300 children in the city and area with a toy for Christmas this year. “We hit a lull because of the fire happening,” explained Captain Glen Fraser, who noted after focusing attention on helping those left in need after the apartments in old hospital in the city was destroyed “we got ourselves together and realized our toy supply is short.” Fraser said while they have a need for toys for all ages, the biggest need is for children aged 10-13. He said people seem to like shopping for younger children, and that leaves suitable toys for older family

members in shorter supply. The toys are needed by the middle of next week (Dec. 17) in order to be packaged and distributed, said Fraser, adding people can most easily drop toys off at the Thrift Store on Betts Ave. In terms of need, Fraser said it is growing. Last year the Salvation Army provided 200 family hampers. This year requests have come from 250 families. “That’s a 25 per cent increase,” said Fraser. And there is a need for toys for 300 children, up 75 from 2014. Fraser said even when an economy is good some people suffer, especially those earning the lowest

wages as they are squeezed by home rentals climbing and similar increases. Then a car breaks down, or someone in the family needs dental work, and money for the holidays is stretched too tight to cover everything. As for donations in the Salvation Army kettles, while Fraser

termed them a bit slow, he added he remains optimistic people will be giving. “I tend to think of it as a snowball, it starts off rolling down the hill slowly, but it gets going faster,” he said, adding he hopes as the season rolls on the kettle donations will climb.

Monitoring stored grains important Monitoring and appropriate management of stored grain (especially tough grain) is essential to ensuring that grain will not spoil and will remain in good shape during storage. Grain needs to be monitored while in storage, as no monitoring can lead to drastic losses, especially when a good portion of grain was harvested as marginally dry! Grain moisture content and temperature are two important factors that affect grain storage. Dry grain can spoil if the seed temperature is too high and grain initially within safe moisture and temperature levels can still spoil due to hot spots forming and moisture migration within the grain bin. Grain acts like an insulator and can hold temperatures for a fair amount of time if left undisturbed. Actually, it is not uncommon for larger bins to have grain temperatures in the centre that have not changed much since harvest, though it is close to freezing outside the bin. Moisture migration occurs when warm and or moist grain in the bin is at a warmer temperature than the temperature outside the bin, as a result cold air moves down the interior of the bin to the bottom of the grain mass and is drawn to the centre of the bin by an upward flow of warmer air. As the cold air is drawn up the grain, it warms and flows to the surface of the grain. The warm air is cooled as it reaches the surface,

condenses, and the cycle repeats. The condensation that occurs at the top of the grain creates a high moisture zone that is prone to spoilage and mold growth. Some fungal species can grow at relatively low seed moisture contents, and their growth results in the production of moisture, which allows other more harmful fungal species to develop. Grain spoilage is relatively undetectable in early stages. Cooling the grain to under minus eight degrees Celsius will deactivate mold growth. For insects, temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius limit their movement and reproduction. In the fall or winter, moving the grain during cold weather can help to decrease the temperature in the bin, eliminating hot spots and can kill grain storage insects depending how much the grain temperature is lowered and for how long. Management practices include cooling grain to within five degrees Celsius of the outside air temperature as soon as possible as this will equalize the temperature within the bin. Monitor on a bi-weekly basis for changes in grain temperature. Pay close attention to grain in large bins and grain bags, especially where grain is marginally dry.

The time to be thankful is always Ask for what you want for Christmas, but don’t expect to get it! Ed, my neighbor next door, has decided that there is a big problem with Christmas today. According to my neighbor, when he was a kid you never knew what you would get as a Christmas gift. Yes, he did make a list of what he wanted for Christmas, but he knew that what he wanted didn’t mean he would get it. There was no sense of entitlement that he would get what he requested. His parents decided what gifts were too expen-

sive, and what presents he should or shouldn’t have. In spite of these circumstances, Christmas never failed to bring great excitement and joy. Christmas presents were truly a surprise and a celebration of what you got, rather than, caring about what you wanted to get. He claims that they didn’t often get what they asked to get as a gift. It saddened Ed that his grandchildren only know of getting the gifts they have requested. I challenged Ed that probably kids today don’t always get the presents that they

Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com ask to receive.

Mental health report Dr. Fern Stockdale Winder, Commissioner of the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan, recently submitted her report to Health Minister Dustin Duncan, recommending improvements to how the province responds to people with mental health and addictions issues. “This report is the culmination of extensive public consultations across the province with a particular emphasis on the voices of people with lived experience of mental health and addictions issues and their family members, service providers across the human service sectors, and concerned citizens,” Stockdale Winder said. “These collective voices were powerful in the call for change and this report reflects our process of careful listening and responding to this call for change.” The Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan outlines 16 recommendations that fall into seven categories: Enhance access and capacity and support recovery in the community; Focus on prevention and early inter-

vention; Create person and family-centred and coordinated services; Respond to diversities; Partner with First Nations and Métis Peoples; Reduce stigma and increase awareness; and Transform the system and sustain the change. Minister Duncan received and endorsed the commissioner’s report, emphasizing the government’s commitment to improving its response to people with mental health or addictions issues. “I want to thank Dr. Stockdale Winder and the participants for all of their hard work in creating this report,” Duncan said. “The recommendations in the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan will guide our efforts to improve mental health and addictions services over the next 10 years.” In 2013, Minister Duncan appointed Dr. Stockdale Winder as commissioner to develop a 10-year inter-ministerial action plan to address the complex and often connected issues of mental health and addictions. Lead by

the Ministry of Health, partner ministries include Social Services, Education, Justice and Corrections and Policing. Public consultations began in August 2013 and concluded in April 2014. Dr. Stockdale Winder and her team travelled the province learning from clients and stakeholders in more than 150 meetings, and heard from more than 4,000 individuals through a variety of ways, including an online questionnaire. “The response to the consultation process is a reminder of just how important this work is to Saskatchewan families,” Duncan said. “We are already making improvements across the system, and the recommendations in this plan affirm that direction.” Since 2007, funding for mental health services has increased 34 per cent.

bration of what he got rather than caring about the gifts he had asked to receive. The Christmas Season does spotlight who is grateful and who isn’t. From a Christian perspective, we celebrate God’s gift to us, His Son. God’s Son, Jesus Christ was born among us to accomplish the forgiveness of our sins and our reconciliation with God. Thanks to Jesus, we do have forgiveness of our sins, and reconciliation with God. It was a gift that cost Jesus everything, his life and

death and resurrection for our benefit. Christian gratitude at Christmas is, ‘happiness doubled by wonder,’ in the words of G. K. Chesterton. For many, Christmas is about giving and receiving gifts. Gifts given and received do not necessarily bring about happiness or joy. Frank A. Clark has wisely said, “If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he gets.” Being grateful does not come to people naturally or easily. Aldous Huxley points out, “Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” Researchers have proven an attitude of gratitude or consistent gratefulness, can achieve powerful physical change in a

person’s body; by amplifying one’s energy, increasing intelligence and decreasing depression and anxiety. An attitude of gratitude reflects God’s word in the Bible that instructs us to give thanks in all circumstances. Can you always be thankful for everything that happens? Yes, bad, sad, ugly and awful stuff happens to everyone. There are no shortcuts or easy answers to having an attitude of gratitude when life stinks. Gratitude is always a choice beyond what life has handed us. When wrong is there, the secret is finding something right no matter how small. Consistent gratefulness grows if we recognize we are not entitled to anything or everything we want.

Peace on earth – goodwill to all men – And best wishes to our neighbors and friends for an unforgettable holiday season.

New retro license plates for province Two new retro licence plates – the Collector plate and the Vintage Roughrider plate – will be available for Saskatchewan residents to pre-order through SGI, just in time for the holiday season. “Green is the colour,” Minister responsible

heritage with the new Collector and Vintage Rider licence plates.” The retro licence plates are modeled after the 1965 Saskatchewan licence plate. They have a green background with embossed white numbers, border, and lettering along the top and

Campaign creates stroke awareness

The Heart and Stroke Foundation launched a new national campaign to raise awareness of the signs of stroke based on FAST, a simple and effective educational approach that is being used in many countries with success. Ability to recognize the signs of stroke and take quick action can mean the difference between life and death, or between a full recovery and lasting disability. FAST stands for: Face – is it drooping? Arms – can you raise both? Speech – is it slurred or jumbled? And Time, to call 9-1-1 or your local emergency service right away. As a public awareness approach, FAST has been translated into several other languages around the world. In Quebec, the campaign will use VITE, for Visage, Incapacité, Trouble de la parole and Extrême urgence. FAST and VITE are short words that provide an easy way to remember the major signs of stroke, and

remind people to take action as quickly as possible. Toronto resident Stacey Yepes, 49, knows too well the importance of recognizing the signs of stroke. Last spring, Stacey made international headlines after recording herself on her mobile phone while experiencing a stroke, in order to show physicians her signs. “The first time I had a stroke I immediately went to the emergency department. Having no visible symptoms and being in good health, I was told it was stress,” said Yepes. “I didn’t think it was stress, and within a few days I had two more strokes. The third time, when I felt my left side going numb, I grabbed my phone and hit record, so that I could show doctors exactly what I was experiencing.” A subsequent MRI revealed Yepes had suffered a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke,

resulting from atherosclerosis (a buildup in plaque in the arteries). “I now take a blood-thinner and a cholesterol-lowering medication as a preventive measure, and I have made lifestyle changes by exercising regularly and eating a healthier diet,” added Yepes. Although stroke is most common in people over the age of 70, the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Stroke Report 2014, published in June, revealed an alarming escalation in the incidence of stroke among those under 70. Over the past decade, strokes in people in their 50s have increased by 24 per cent and for those in their 60s, by 13 per cent. Even more alarming, recent international studies predict that stroke rates among younger people (ages 24-64) will double in the next 15 years.

New infrastructure investments set Canada’s prosperity and quality of life depend on a vast network of public infrastructure which must be continually developed and maintained. Along with the rest of Canada, villages, towns and cities within the federal constituency of YorktonMelville rely on the support of federal infrastructure investment to assist with major infrastructurerelated costs associated with everything

from roads and highways to bridges, transit systems, water and wastewater infrastructure, ports, airports and recreational and cultural facilities.

Forest renewal underway at Duck Mountain Park The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport has entered into a 10 year agreement with Weyerhaeuser Saskat chewan Ltd. to renew the forest at Duck Mountain Provincial Park. The ecologically responsible logging operation will emulate the natural growth patterns of the forest and is one of the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. “The protection and conservation of Saskatchewan’s natural environment is incredibly important,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “This forest renewal project will ensure that the forest at Duck Mountain Provincial Park will remain healthy for many years to come.” The forest at Duck Mountain Provincial Park is approximately

120 years old and is primarily made up of trembling aspen. Trembling aspen forests require a large scale disturbance such as wildfire to regenerate naturally. Without a large disturbance, the trembling aspen forest will die and the area will convert to shrubland. As people have settled in the areas in and around the forests, natural wildfires have been suppressed and the forest has become uncommonly old. Beginning in midD e c e m b e r , Weyerhaeuser will begin logging operations in Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Over the next ten winters, approximately 10,000 hectares of forest in the north half of the park will be renewed. Logging throughout the winter months

while the ground is frozen minimizes the impact of the machinery on the environment. In addition, the removal of the trees while they are dormant will prompt new suckering from their roots in the following spring. In this way, the forest will regenerate using its own natural patterns and processes and it will remain as natural, diverse and healthy as possible. This is the first time that an ecologically responsible logging process of this type has been used in a S a s k a t c h e w a n Provincial Park. The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the value and importance of Saskatchewan’s provincial parks and continues to invest in them. The 2014-15 Budget increased

funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent and capital investments will total a record $14.9 million this year.

Stephen Harper announced new investments that will continue to build and renew infrastructure – ensuring Canada’s future economic growth for years to come. Our government’s unprecedented investments in infrastructure, the most significant in our country’s history, have already yielded significant results for hard-working Canadians and their families, ensuring the resilience of our economy and creating jobs. The government will invest in infrastructure across the country in areas such as heritage, First Nations’ education, defence, borders, research facilities, harbours, transportation and search and rescue to create jobs across the country.

Canada has the resources necessary to make this crucial investment because of the bold measures our government has taken to return to balanced budgets. Commenting on these investments, Prime Minister Harper noted, “The new infrastructure support builds on the foundation necessary to promote future growth and prosperity in our great country, generating increased job opportunities, health and environmental benefits, and reduced commuting times. The investment will also help ensure that our cultural and natural heritage are preserved, promoted and enhanced.” For more information on specific infrastructure investments, visit www.infrastructure.gc.ca

Community Events Eclipse A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. Eclipse is an exciting and vibrant musical experience that showcases the very best of Saskatoon’s musicians, arrangers and performers. Eclipse presents a stunning 30 voice ensemble, accompanied by some of Saskatoon’s finest musicians and led by artistic director Roy Sydiaha with Wes Froese on keyboard. Vocalists are drawn from the community with a broad and varied background in musical training. From shimmering jazz harmonies and grooving rhythm to inspiring gospel, Eclipse creates a joyful musical spectacular. It’s a musical event you won’t want to miss!

Entertaining with classics from blues, soul, swing and pop, we bring our own twist to the music with arrangements by Saskatchewan musicians.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, December 11, 2014 - Page 17A

Survey to provide advice for water problems Good Spirit Acres Newsletter Submitted by Carol Olson It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! We got a good snowfall last weekend, so now the ground is covered and the snow SPARKLES with the sun shining on it. Kevin Coleridge has volunteered to make the cross-country ski trails ...so everyone will be able to get their exercise this winter. Chris Leis will be making the ice on the rink over at Spilchen Meadows. Volunteers will be greatfully accepted!! The Christmas greeting board at the Good Spirit Market is filling up with nice messages for the holiday season! You still have time to add messages for $10 each, the money is used for Community Assoc. activities.

Our Christmas in November supper was a great success!! Our caterers, “3 G’friends” from Canora are highly recommended!! The Good Spirit Park hall was decorated in a Christmas theme, and everyone there enjoyed the evening. Door prizes made and donated by Jeanne Anderson were won by Ed Achtemichuk and Kevin Coleridge. A pretty bouquet, from the Comm. Assoc was won by 5 year old Thor Steiner, who promptly gave it to his mom Lana. So cute!! The Comm. Assoc. is planning an afternoon of bowling in late January. The lottery grant covers the cost of bowling and shoe rental. (It is also the lottery grant that is paying for the tickets for the Arts Council tickets and the Gallagher Centre pool and flexihall gift cards.)

The Hamlet Board wants to welcome our newest member, Lana Steiner who will fill the recently vacated Board position. The notice for the nomination was posted for the required period of time and she was named to the Board by acclamation at a meeting on Nov. 12, 2014. You may have noticed

surveyors in the community as they are doing a detailed layout of our community. Once this is completed the Hamlet Board expects to have suggestions from an engineering company as how to solve some of the water problems in the community. The community can expect to hear about these improvements at the Spring

Information meeting in May of 2015. The Board hopes to implement some of the changes starting next summer. Thanks to the community members who assisted Barry Bradshaw and Terry Konkel install the winter fence along Capalano Drive. Thanks to Alf Dittrick, Sandy Konkel, Ed Park and Don Thompson. Good Spirit Market winter hours are Sun to Thurs 9 AM to 6 PM and Fri and Sat. 9 AM to 7 PM. Pizza is available on Fri and Sat. Please order by 4 PM and pick up by 6 PM. They will also be serving a variety menu this fall and winter. PLEASE call in advance to let them know you are coming! That’s 306-7924663. Fern would like to thank the Federowich construction company for having their lunches at the Market this fall.

Thanks also to Elaine and Lynn for helping out at this busy time! It was much appreciated! Fern mentioned that she will be serving hot lunches to snowmobilers this winter...so pray for snow! The Comm. Assoc. would like to thank the staff at the Market for all they do for our community. They are the hub of this Hamlet, where you can stop for a coffee and visit, pick up your mail or a few groceries, fill up with gasoline or buy lottery tickets. They sell tickets for our community functions and allow us to advertise our upcoming events on their board. Always a smiling face at the Market!! The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they MAKE the best of everything! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Give the gift of literacy With kids off school and parents home from work, the winter holidays are perfect for creating family time to play and learn together! ABC Life Literacy Canada offers these holiday family literacy tips to warm your heart—and feed your mind! • Family book snuggle: Gather the family together with a favourite holiday or winter book. Get cozy blankets and comfy chairs, then snuggle in and take turns reading aloud to one another. • Make your own cards and gift tags: Even young children can write or draw on a card to send to friends and family or on a gift tag for someone spe-

cial. • Bake-off: Get the whole family involved in baking! Following a recipe is a great way to practice reading and comprehension skills. Measuring ingredients and following baking times are practical (and delicious!) applications of math skills. • Out and About: Take in a holiday show or visit a museum. Family outings offer fun learning opportunities—and make sure to read the theatre program and the exhibit descriptions together. • Make a list and check it twice: Grocery shopping can be a fun family literacy activity. Your child can write the holiday
