Big Bert shows the ancient past of Sask By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Western Development Museum has always been focused on bringing Saskatchewan’s history to life. With the arrival of Big Bert, the museum is showing Saskatchewan’s ancient past, the 92 million year old crocodile showing one of the species which used to live in the province. Big Bert is a Terminonaris robusta crocodile, which was found in shallow water in the period in which he lived. The Dr. Ryan McKellar, Paleontologist with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, says it is a showcase specimen for the species. Tim Tokaryk, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Royal Saskat chewan Museum worked on the find, which was discovered in the banks of the Carrot River in 1991. “It ranks in the top ten at least for finds in Saskatchewan paleon-

tology,” McKellar says. One of the reasons why it’s one of the top finds in the province is how complete it is. The 5.6 m long skeleton, which includes a skull that’s over one meter long, represents the most complete example of the species. “It’s rare to find a complete skeleton or mostly complete skeleton like this. It’s a good day in vertebrate paleontology if we find half a skeleton.” The display itself also uses 3D imaging to give a more complete look at what Big Bert might have looked like in his prime. The fossil also is an example of how the province has changed dramatically over millions of years. While a prairie province now, in the time when animals like Big Bert lived the province was a very different place. McKellar explains that in the cretaceous period there was a lot going on, such as the western interior

seaway, a narrow seaway that stretched from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico. That left behind marine shales that contained marine reptiles, as well as coastal animals like these crocodiles and dinosaurs. “Saskatchewan has a very rich fossil history, and this is just one of the windows into how conditions have changed pretty dramatically over the last 92 million years. I think this is a pretty good example of how much things have changed.” The skeleton is a replica of the original fossil, something McKellar describes as necessary due to the fragility and weight of the original fossil. By making a replica, they can make an example for display which can be used to showcase the find to people in the province. “The skull, the top half of it, the original was about 100 lbs, so hanging it on a wire bracket was almost impossible, and if you

wanted to move it around and share it with different communities there was no way without it getting damaged in the travel process. This is our way to share specimens fairly quickly and without accumulating damage.” Big Bert travels the province because they

want to get kids interested in sciences and natural history, McKellar explains. The goal is to use an exciting find like this one to get kids interested in the world around them. “It’s a nice gateway to get people interested into natural history and the sciences.”

This is the third fossil to make its way to Yorkton, as part of a partnership with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the Western Development Museum, with Yorkton previously hosting Scotty the T-Rex and Omaciw, a Tylosaurus.

Vigil aims to end violence in community By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Violence in our community is a problem that needs to be tackled, and every year Shelwin House hosts a candlelight vigil to remember the victims of violence and work to find ways to stop violence, held in conjunction with the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This year the vigil, hosted at Dr. Brass school, was focused on finding ways to stop bullying. Nicole Prince, Outreach Worker for Shelwin House in Yorkton, says that they decided to focus on bul-

lying because it’s a serious issue facing children today, and they wanted to raise awareness, both among kids themselves and the community around them. “A lot of the time as adults we forget the effects bullying can have on a child. Lifelong effects that don’t just affect but the community and the family of everyone involved.” The students also had a presentation and performance by Saskatoon-based rapper and inspirational speaker Unkle Adams. Prince says that it was a choice driven by what kids respond to, and she says it was a kid who

“My own son has seen Unkle Adams perform before, and he was

the one who suggested we should bring him in. I know it has worked in other communities and he lives a very inspirational life.” Prince covers a 150 km radius around Yorkton to talk about issues facing students today, including bullying, harassment and self-esteem. She says it is an issue facing every community, and Saskatchewan overall has had a relatively high instance of bullying, something that Shelwin House hopes to change. “We hope that the education and awareness in our own area will bring us a violencefree community.”

If people need resources, Prince says that they are available, and she hopes people are not afraid to ask questions and take steps to stop violence around them. “Some people do have to live with violence every day, so it’s great to have these kids and the community know that we hear them.”

Yorkton hosts SEDA debate tournament

The Saskatchewan Elocution and Debate Association hosted a tournament at Yorkton Regional High School, bringing together students from Yorkton and Regina to debate sports questions. Thomas Lowe and Gillian Leach from Luther College High School in Regina were the winners of the open category. Lowe says that success comes down to the work you put into it, saying that his team puts in a lot of prep work going into debating. “If you really want to do well in anything like a debate tournament, it really depends on your commitment. I know Gillian and I have been working hard and doing lots of research.” Leach gives credit to the teamwork between the two of them. The team has been debating together for two years, and have learned how to work to help the other. “I think we’ve really grown as a team. Some of the places where I’m not so good, Thomas has learned to help me out, and some of the places where he falls I

help him out.” Teams have thirty minutes to prepare for each topic, which they do not know before the start of the event. Leach believes that while they don’t know the specific questions being asked, they keep up on current events in order to be prepared for whatever is thrown at the teams. “Often the debates are really relatable to current events, so I can walk into a debate, even if it’s impromptu, having a lot of knowledge in general and having a lot of examples to draw from.” Leach says that she can see the benefits of debate first hand in her own life. While recognized as one of the top speakers in her category, she admits that this wasn’t always the case. “When I was younger I was a terrible, terrible public speaker, and debate has really build my presentation skills. I think that is a really big personal achievement for me.” Competition im proves the breed, as the saying goes, and Lowe says that he gives credit to the competitions in the past for doing well this time around. “This is probably the

best I’ve ever done in a tournament, and I can definitely say past tournaments have helped a lot, the feedback helped us do well in the future.” Lowe says that for him, debate is how he expresses himself creatively. He might not be an artist, he says, but through debate he is able to express himself and learn more about his own personality. Leach, meanwhile, believes it’s the chance to tackle tough topics that makes debate something she enjoys. “I personally really like discussing lots of the issues that are brought up in debate, such as morality and social issues, but I find that when you talk to people about those issues they get personally involved and sometimes friendships can break because of these personal opinions. I enjoy debate because it brings up these topics and give you a chance to speak about them without that involvement.” Both Lowe and Leach know that the skills learned in debate will follow them through their lives. Leach believes that the better public speaking skills have already

COMPUTER BASICS FOR SENIORS Winter 2016

REHABILITATING CT SCANNING – Function Rehabilitation has made a major contribution to the CT Scan campaign, donating $15,000 to the project. Dr Trevor Howe says that it was a staff decision where to make a donation, and they believed that it was the best way to make an impact in the community. “It’s because of the hard work of the team and the support of the community that we are able to do something like this.” He also says that working in the medical field, they see first hand why a CT scanner is necessary. The machine is ordered, but the Health Foundation needs to raise $40,000, and Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation, says they expect to be able to raise it by the end of the year.

Grand Slam good for Yorkton Another week has passed and what a great week it was for Yorkton. Thirty-two of the greatest curling teams in the world were in town for an international event and our fair city was up to the task of hosting it. The players raved about the hospitality and the crowds. Pete Steski, the long-standing emcee of the event told the News Review that in all the years he has been doing tournaments, this year’s Canadian Open in Yorkton was the best. Second best? Last year’s Canadian Open in Yorkton. Best in terms of ticket sales, best for concessions, best for merchandise, best crowds, best hospitality. So, kudos to the organizers, volunteers and curling fans. Despite all that, before the first stone was curled, rumours started floating around that the Open would not be returning next year. The rumours were quickly confirmed. People wondered why the Grand Slam would want to pull the event from Yorkton given all the positive feedback. As it turns out, they don’t. Steski said they would happily make Yorkton the permanent home of the event, but the curling club needs a break. No doubt. It is an enormous amount of work to put on a world-class event. The curling club cannot be blamed for feeling fatigue after doing it two years in a row. But, while the work is enormous, so is the benefit. There are no hard numbers to share, but suffice it to say an event of this status impacts the entire economy of the city. The teams alone represent 160 people plus coaches and other associated individuals staying in local hotels, eating at local restaurants, buying gas at local gas stations etc. Then, there are the thousands of fans who come to town doing the same. Plus, at this time of year, while in Yorkton, why not take advantage of the opportunity to Christmas shop in the numerous retail outlets that make the city a hub for the region? Many people did that too. But it is not just about the immediate economic benefit. Anybody who watched any of the coverage on Sportsnet may have noticed that the excellent television crews have a real knack for presenting a town in its best possible light. People across the country and around the world may have learned that the Yorkton area is a great tourist destination and a great place to live. So, how do we get the Grand Slam back and keep it here? Obviously, the rest of us have to step up to the hog line and help the curling club out. Having a top-level sporting event is a boon to the city as a whole and affects every individual resident whether we recognize it or not.

I do not need a digital assistant Every so often one has the realization that the path of technology and what they actually want from technology are not necessarily the same thing. For example, this morning my personal computer had an update. That’s fine, they do that all the time, but this particular update decided to activate something called “Cortana,” which Microsoft describes as a “digital personal assistant.” I could not turn that garbage off fast enough. Microsoft isn’t the only company offering such services, Apple has their Siri and Google has Google Now, which at least has the good sense to not pretend it’s some form of person. They are selling the idea that it’s not just a computer, but a friend. I have friends, what I want from the big black box that sits on my desk is a tool. In the same way that you wouldn’t want your hammer to talk to you about how it’s really excited about pounding some nails today, even the string of text “I’m Cortana, ask me anything!” got on my nerves immediately. The technology is moving in this direction because companies want you to be engaged with their devices. Sure, you can use them to track appointments or get information in a purely passive way, but if you let it personally assist you, it can anticipate what you want, the companies say. It can change the information it displays based on your location, maybe it can organize your day based on appointments and whatever habits you might have. It is sold as a way to make your life easier, but in reality it’s a way to make you more dependant on your phones, computers and connected objects. There is an element of digital stalking in the way all of this works. It likes to track what you tend to do and like to look at, and tailors what it shows you based on what you’re doing at any given point. For example, after weeks of searching for the weather in the evenings, my phone suddenly started showing me the weather without me asking. It might be convenient, but it also wasn’t something that I was actually asking for, I was perfectly happy just checking the weather on my own. I didn’t actually like that it was doing it for me, because now the device was using battery, using data and using processing cycles I didn’t ask it to. I might be using it to check the weather anyway, but I’d much rather it depend on what I tell it to do. Like the hammer example from earlier, if you wake up to find every loose nail pounded down that might be handy, but it might hit nails you don’t want to be hammered, and it would be kind of weird to have the nails pounded down without permission. It’s the attempt to give these devices a personality that bothers me, not the loss of privacy to some form of computer. The idea is to make the user more

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger engaged with the devices in their hand or on their desk. That way, they can become more reliant on those devices. This could also be used to sell you things from the convenience of your own home. Search for pants enough, and suddenly it’s telling you about sales on pants or pant related news. After all, you clearly love pants right? As a personal assistant and friend, it’s just giving you the latest information on pants. If that leads to a bit of money for each company now that you’ve bought those pants, then everyone wins, you’ve got pants and the software company gets cash. It wants you to treat your computer as a friend, because you listen to your friends, you don’t listen to your tools. This shifts the power from the user to the device and the software company behind it. If you’re not being personally assisted, the device reacts to you. You’re not looking for the weather, or pants, or whatever you need without specifically asking it to find it. You’re not being given information without putting in a specific request. With the phone in charge, by contrast, it’s running the show. The phone might be doing it based on your habits or what you tend to be interested in, but it’s still starting to take the lead. That’s bad for purely practical reasons, whether that means going over your data caps because your phone really wanted to tell you about a pant sale, or losing battery because it just had to check the weather, but it’s also ceding control over your life to a device for the sake of some very minor convenience. I also hate how chummy these services are, with vaguely patronizing text constantly prompting you to use them. I don’t need software to pretend it’s my friend, I need it to get information or do specific tasks with a minimum of difficulty. I don’t need a buddy, I need it to shut up. I want my computer to be a tool, nothing more. It’s not my friend, it’s not my partner, it’s not my assistant. The personal assistant idea might be conceived to be both convenient and friendly, but instead I find it an irritant, and it goes against the way I like to use the tools on my desk and in my pocket.

Time for climate change deniers to get out of the way

Troy Media/ - Denying the existence of global warming will not rid the world of pollution. Nor will denial save the millions of lives either lost or irreparably damaged around the world every year as the result of despoiled air, water and soil. So why does the movement to deny the presence of climate change and global warming exist? And why have the deniers emerged from the smog again, as world leaders look for a way to tackle global warming? As December dawned, world leaders gathered in Paris to renew efforts to arrest climate change. After the leaders left COP21, the serious work of negotiating an agreement to limit global warming began. And from all of this work, a deal seems certain.

Whether that deal results in the member nations actually reaching for or hitting the targets remains to be seen. The Kyoto Accord is proof that targets can be missed and ignored, particularly when a noisy segment of society won’t concede that pollution - never mind climate change - is a plague. Some of the responsibility for meeting the goals that will result from the Paris talks rests with each of us. And in Alberta, where so much of our economy depends on fossil fuels, and where extracting oil sands bitumen creates an insufferable emissions volume, this is no small thing. The effort is made more difficult because among us remains a rabble that seems to be inspired by two things: a fear of losing economic well-being, and a lack of respect in science.

It’s difficult to understand why the health and welfare of those around them, and of themselves, isn’t paramount. It should be easy to understand how costly an unhealthy workforce is to the economy, today and into the future. If they only believe in dollars and cents, that should make sense to them. Set aside the science that points to global warming, an increase in extreme weather events, and dramatic ecological changes that will follow from such alterations in the natural order. Drill down instead to two critical issues in this debate: the multi-pronged devastation that pollution causes versus the desire to maintain the economic status quo at any cost. According to the Asthma Society of Canada, the “prevalence of asthma has been increasing over

the 20 years and it is estimated that currently over three million Canadians have asthma.” Worldwide, asthma rates (including among children) rise on average by 50 per cent every decade, and rates are higher in urban settings. For this growing group, the future changes for the worse by the moment. Asthma triggers include chemicals, fumes, odours and air pollution. The cost is staggering: the asthma society says the condition is the third leading cause of missed work and the leading cause of school absenteeism in this country. And there are an estimated 146,000 Canadian emergency room visits a year due to asthma. According to Conference Board of Canada 2010 data, chronic lung diseases (among them asthma) cost

Canadians $12 billion in health-related costs. More broadly, the World Health Organization says that in 2012, about seven million people died as the result of exposure to air pollution. That number represents one in eight deaths worldwide. WHO said, in a report in 2014, “that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. Reducing air pollution could save millions of lives.” Water and soil pollution similarly cause profound human loss and suffering. Take your pick from a variety of cancers, multiple sclerosis, birth defects . . . the list is long and devastating. The stories of tragic loss are repeated around the globe, from “cancer villages” in China where whole communities are doomed because of years

of exposure to pollution to above-normal cancer rates in Northern Alberta communities. In whose value system can this pollution-caused devastation be acceptable, even if it is accompanied by economic gain? We cannot blindly live in this moment. As much as deniers believe that the economic standards of today - and the status quo that includes a faltering environment - are all that matter, we really do need to be concerned about the future. It is time for the deniers to get onside. The world’s most fundamental problem must be solved - before we are all lost in the smog.

CTF Appeal to Canadians: Won’t You Please Help a Needy Corporation? The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today appealed directly to Canadians this holiday season to donate to help one of our countries’ neediest corporations, Bombardier Inc. “Canadians have been giving generously to help struggling people, from homeless in their own commun-

ities to newly-arrived refugees,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Sadly, it seems no one is focusing on our neediest corporations. Bombardier has come cap in hand to Ottawa begging for $1.3 billion in taxpayer cash. So we decided we’d take the request off the hands of the government and see just

how willing generous Canadians were to help this needy corporation out.” Dressed as Santa Clause, Wudrick spent time in both Dundas Square and the financial district in Toronto last week soliciting donations for Bombardier. He also fundraised for Bombardier in downtown Ottawa today.

“In Toronto, we only managed to raise about $2.75. Indeed, at one point while on a corner in the financial district, several passers-by laughed when they saw my “Save Bombardier” sign,” said Wudrick. “It’s almost as if they thought asking for free money to help a giant aerospace company was some kind of joke.”

Your letter of the

Wudrick pledged to continue the campaign throughout the holiday season, saying that it was simply too important to give up hope. “This is a company that has already had to beg for more than $1.3 billion from the Quebec government, and is asking for a similar amount from Ottawa,” said Wudrick. “No corporate

executive should have to suffer the indignity and embarrassment of begging politicians for taxpayer dollars, especially at Christmas. I am sure Canadians will give generously to such an important cause, and we’ll be happy to send them along whatever we collect, whether it be $1.3 billion, or, as of our last count, $4.65.”

Week

Government spending missed highways To the Editor: Saskatchewan has had a decade of record resource revenue come in, but we don’t have a lot to show for it. The Sask. Party blew through billions of dollars. Yet so many of our highways are looking and feeling like gravel goat paths again. People ask

me: where did all the money go? When it comes to highways, they certainly are spending more. But, they’re doing less. In 2008-09, the Sask. Party spent $225.7 million on highways, and repaired or upgraded about 600 kilometres. But last year, the Sask. Party spent

$405.2 million and only fixed or upgraded 470 kilometres of highway. They’re paying more, and paving less. At the heart of this problem is an increase in spending on private consultants using Highways money – in fact, a whopping 400 per cent increase. When that much of the highways bud-

get goes to consultants, and even more to foreign contracts, no wonder we pay more but get fewer kilometres done. And our mini-vans, school buses, heavy-haul trucks and ambulances are paying the price. Buckley Belanger NDP critic for Highways

Drinking and driving is a one-way street to disaster. Stay on the right track – if you’re drinking, arrange for a ride; if you’re driving, stay sober. With so many celebrations during the holiday season, it’s especially important to remember your responsibility to yourself, your family, your friends and your community: Keep yourself and fellow motorists out of danger by staying sober behind the wheel.

Don’t risk your life or the life of someone else. If you plan on drinking, plan ahead and choose a designated driver or call a taxi service for a ride home.

New Saskatchewan Poet Laureate announced The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is delighted to announce that GERALD HILL of Regina is the new Poet Laureate of Saskatchewan. Gerry’s term will begin January 1, 2016 and will run until December 31, 2017. Two-time winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for Poetry, Gerald Hill published his sixth poetry collection, Hillsdale Book, with NeWest Press,

and A Round For Fifty Years: A History of Regina’s Globe Theatre with Coteau Books, both in 2015. In the fall of 2015 he was Doris McCarthy Artist-in-Residence at Fool’s Paradise in Toronto. He lives and writes in Regina, retired from his career teaching English and Creative Writing at Luther College at the University of Regina. In choosing the new Poet Laureate, the

Selection Committee believes it is important that the Poet Laureate have “meaningful connections with other writers and experience organizing occasions for thinking about poetry differently.” While the Committee trusts that Gerry Hill possesses the qualities needed for the position: “Gerald Hill’s engaging and outgoing personality will help him rise to any occasion in which he is

was the first provincial program of its kind in Canada. The Saskatchewan Arts Board, Saskatchewan Book Awards and the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild are

asked to represent the poets and writers of Saskatchewan.” Hill is the sixth person to hold the title of Poet Laureate; his five predecessors were Glen Sorestad (20002004), Louise B. Halfe (2005-2006), Robert Currie (2007-2010), Donald Kerr (20102012), and Judith Krause (2013-2015). C o m m e n c i n g in 2000, the Saskatchewan Poet Laureate Program

partners in the program, which is under the patronage of the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Her Honour the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, December 17, 2015 - Page 11A

Montreal leads way for Canadian NHL teams There has been a lot of talk around the Canadian Football League the past two seasons surrounding the issue of quarterback injuries. Some, like the one suffered opening day by Saskatchewan’s Darian Durant, have to just be chalked up to ‘bad luck’. It wasn’t a situation where an offensive lineman missed an assignment and some blitzing linebacker hit him like a runaway bus. And, it wasn’t a questionable hit either, like the one which sidelined Mike Reilly early this season in Edmonton. But, in the end only seemingly ageless Henry Burris in Ottawa managed to start all 18 games. That is not a good thing in a sport where teams live and die in terms of success on the talents of their quarterbacks. They are a league’s premier players and you want the best guy at the helm. So is there a problem in the league? And, if there is, what is the solution?

The strange injuries, like Durant’s are not something that can be avoided. The questionable hits will happen, although I would suggest stiffer penalties are required. The consequences should be two fold. Roughing the passer should be harder on a team from the get go, at 25-yards. If that sounds punitive, it is supposed to be. In situations where a player accumulates three such calls, they miss a game. The penalties need to reflect how important it is for a league to keep players like Reilly, Travis Lulay, and the rest of the pivots who spent infirmary time this season on the field. It is better for the league to have defensive players put the brakes on a bit, and risk a touchdown against that to try to convince fans to be happy with second and third string pivots at the controls. All that said, with ever expanding rosters in the NFL where teams have much deeper pock-

Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels ets, players are going to be siphoned south, including important Canadian talent which is often found along the offensive line. So I like the idea that has been floated by some that American players could be considered nonimports after a set number of years in the CFL. It would mean the likes of Burris and Durant would earn a form of ‘non-import’ status. This would allow the league to actually up the nonimport minimums but have some added flexibility in how to field those numbers. In the same area of ratio tinkering I am also a proponent of the CFL mandating one QB on the active roster be a Canadian.

The past couple of seasons also shows that teams probably should be doing a better job of developing back-up quarterbacks. Whether up 20, or down 20, teams tend to stay the course with the starter. Injuries happen, and to be ready back-ups need game situation reps, and that is a philosophy change the league needs. Habs hot, or not Among Canadian teams, all right among teams period, in the National Hockey League, Montreal has been on a tear this season, well until a recent scoring drought has clipped their wings a bit. As of the day of writing the Habs are 19-6-3 for 41-points, best in the

east by a couple over the New York Rangers, and only one back of Dallas best in the west with 42-points. While Montreal being among the elite in the east should not be a surprise, how they are doing it is. Carey Price is arguably the best goaltender in the NHL, so you anticipate stingy defence in Montreal. But he has appeared in only 12-games this season. Mike Condon has been thrown into the breach, and has done nicely. As a team 28 games into the season they have allowed only 63-goals. Not bad although the Rangers are five goals lower in the same 28-games. What has frankly shocked is Montreal scoring 94-goals. Do the math that is a goal-agame-plus more than they allow. It is also eight more goals than anyone in the east. So seeing them cool a bit on offence the last week is not a huge surprise. For some added shock value Ottawa is second with 86.

In Montreal’s case they had been getting points from all over the ice. They have nine players with at least 15 points, or half-a-point game, which in today’s NHL is pretty credible offence. That said only one player; Max Pacioretty is in double digits in goals and he only has 13, to go with a team leading 25-points, a total he shares with Tomas Plekanec. A little added note Bud Holloway, a former AAA Midget player here in Yorkton made his NHL debut in Montreal recently. He signed with the Canadians last off season after time in Switzerland. Holloway had a one-game call-up against New Jersey and saw about seven minutes of action. The Wapella, SK. native put up good numbers in Europe last year, 37-points in 42-games in Bern, and has shown an ability to set up goals in the American Hockey League this campaign with 17-assists and 24-points in 22-games with the St. John’s IceCaps.

Planets, meteors and Latin words these days, it seems that you’re spending most of your time in the dark. Of course, December 21st has neither the latest sunrise nor earliest sunset: the earliest sunset already happened on the 12th, but earlier sunrises won’t occur until the first thing in January. The reason it doesn’t just do everything on the same day and get it over with is because of something called ‘The Equation of Time’, essentially an explanation of the conflict between Earthlings’ insistence in measuring time in days and years, and the fact that the universe has no need for such simplistic concepts as clocks and calendars.

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca.

Incidentally, ‘solstice’ comes from the Latin ‘solstitium’, meaning ‘the Sun stands still’. On this day, the Sun reaches its southern-most position as seen from the Earth, pauses above the Tropic of Capricorn and then begins moving northward again. In another of those ‘Equation of Time’ oddities, the day winter starts is the same day the Sun takes its first step toward summer. Can’t be too soon, in my opinion. Oh, and if you happen to find yourself out at night trying to remember what I said about that Solstice stuff, see if you can pick out Polaris, the North Star. It’s the brightest thing straight north and little more half way up the sky. The Little Dipper hangs from

Polaris by its handle, and below that, nearer the horizon, is the

familiar Big Dipper. The reason I bring it up it that just below Polaris is where the shooting stars of the Ursid Meteor Shower will appear to come from all this week. At an average rate of 10 per hour, the Ursids are not something people typically stand around waiting for in winter, but the occasional bursts of 100 meteors per hour have

The Travelling Mabels A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/ country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audienve expectations. www.thetravellingmabels. com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door. www.yorktonarts.ca Volunteers Needed!
