Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE SEASON – St. Michael’s School recently held a special Christmas concert event, giving children the chance to perform before friends and family. The concert was entitled the Stories of Christmas. Above, the Grade 8 class takes on the traditional task of telling the story of the Nativity.

Growth the theme for Yorkton: Mayor Maloney

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The year of 2013 in Yorkton was one defined by growth.

Mayor Bob Maloney recently spoke with The News Review about the year that just wrapped.

The biggest highlight of 2013 was the expansion of the Parkland College, with the announcement of the Trades and Technology Center. The facility was needed in the area, and Maloney says that with the amount of work that has gone into the project, from Parkland College staff to the many businesses that have contributed to the capital campaign, it’s rewarding to see it finally come to fruition with construction set to begin in the new year.

Another highlight of the year was the new Water Treatment Plant, which has seen widespread recognition with provincial and national awards for its design. Work is still going on in the area, and Maloney says that some aspects of the surrounding area reflect changing priorities for people.

“People never used to get out and walk the way they do now, I certainly don’t remember it, but the walking paths in that area... In spring we’ll be reestablishing all of the trails in the area so people can get out and enjoy the area,” Maloney says.

The city has also continued to grow, with more business development in the region, including new developments on Highway 9. Maloney says that the growth has been surprising in how fast

it has happened, outpacing his own expectations, but that the new developments are a boon for the city.

“Any time you get more businesses that means more jobs in the community, and jobs are what makes everything tick.”

For 2014, Maloney sees a year filled with construction around the city, with confirmed projects like the college expansion and the Rona development, as well as interest in some of the city’s other new develop-

City launches snow/pothole hotline

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Snow and potholes are an inevitability in a place like Saskatchewan, but now it’s significantly easier to get something done about the problem. The City of Yorkton has launched its new online Snow and Pothole Hotline, and promises fast response to any complaints received.

Brian Stanicki, Public Works Roadways Manager, says the city’s goal is to have a response time of one business day to any calls received. With the online system, it is now both easier to register a problem, as well as easier for

ments like the Roundhouse subdivision. Maloney expects that the coming year will be as busy as the outgoing one for projects, with construction and growth continuing to be the big stories for the new year.

“It’s amazing how much work is being done. It’s good, you like to see the development, you like to see the work, you like to see the jobs coming into the community... We’re fortunate because we’re building business. When you build business-

city workers to access the database to receive reports, as they can receive updates wherever they are in the city.

There will be a dedicated person responding to any calls, with three workers being part of the program at the moment and they will determine the response required for any pothole and snow removal. Stanicki says that the new system has benefits for city crews as well, since it allows them to better prioritize how to use equipment and resources as well as respond quickly to any issues someone may have.

es and they come to your community, that means jobs, that’s where you’re going to get your housing starts, and that’s where things develop. I think it’s always healthier when business leads to more people coming.”

The expansion does bring some challenges, especially with housing, but Maloney says that this is an opportunity for homeowners to develop secondary suites for new people and students, which he says are useful for handling a mortgage and will be one way to handle any shortage of housing.

“We’re not used to that here, but I hope we get used to it, because there are going to be a lot of students looking for places.”

The big challenge for the city is infrastructure, and Maloney says this will continue to be the priority for the city into the next decade.

“It has been too long since we put things in the ground and walked away, hoping they would be okay.

City launches snow/pothole line Con’t from Page 1.

The city will also use the new snow removal guidelines to determine whether snow from the end of driveways is removed, with the city getting involved if it is twelve inches or higher. Stanicki says that the standard was decided by looking at other jurisdictions.

To use the service there are two options. Citizens can visit yorkton.ca and click on the Snow and Pothole Hotline link.

Once there, they will fill out a form which outlines the location and the specific problem. They may also call 306-7827669 and leave a detailed message, including the address, the problem itself and contact information. A planned feature for the future will see residents who leave an email address will also be automatically notified when the problem is resolved. While any software launch has bugs which need to be worked out, Stanicki anticipates a smooth launch.

Mayor Bob Maloney says that the city is proud of the snow removal service that Yorkton provides, and that this program is designed to continue giving residents service that few other cities in the province are able to match.

Words from Dief the Chief My last year’s preChristmas column revisited historic words from Queen Elizabeth – her first Christmas message as Queen.

This year, I bring more still-relevant words from Canada’s past.

Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, a Saskatchewan native, led his Conservative government from 1957 to 1963. Affectionately known as “Dief the Chief”, he is wellremembered for his principled, if sometimes fiery leadership.

He still has much to say to us about something that both Canadian tradition and Christmas have in common – the role of peace in a broken world.

Part of Diefenbaker’s term at Canada’s helm covered the frosty period that began in May of 1960 when a United States spy plane was shot down over Soviet Union airspace. The Cold War stalled EastWest relations, and fear and suspicion ruled the day.

On February 14, 1962, while making a speech on the role of the United Nations in helping to thaw the Cold War, Prime Minister Diefenbaker repeatedly addressed the themes of brotherhood of mankind, peace and hope, goodwill and mutual respect between races and creeds. He said: “There is so much more that unites men of various races and religious faiths than divides them; so many

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz

270 HAMILTON ROAD, YORKTON more ideals they share than concerns that isolate them; so many common aspirations for the true and good; so many common values that are profoundly more significant than the prejudices that reveal the darker side of the man’s spirit.”

He noted the obvious difficulty – one which has, sadly, continued unabated, though the countries involved have varied: “The race is now on between the achievement of human understanding and the explosive forces of fear and ignorance. The future of mankind hinges on this race. Moreover, this understanding must cover two great chasms: the ideological one between the Soviet and non-Soviet world, and the living standards gulf between the southern and northern peoples.

The means at our disposal for building bridges here are not the same in each case although the most cohesive force available for all of these bridges is ‘Brotherhood.’”

In the same speech, he comments: “In the JudeoChristian tradition,

‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ is our common biblical history. If man is to remain at peace, this concept must shape the global destiny for all mankind. We are striving to understand our common humanity in the face of threats to the species itself.

Perhaps we can hope that common brotherhood will be recognized, sooner than we might have thought possible a few short years ago, as the only means by which mankind can attain its highest goal – the self-fulfillment of the individual in the image of God.” That year, in his Christmas message, Dief stressed the holiday’s central figure: “Despite sorrow and hope unfulfilled the message of the manger still comes to us across centuries to sustain our faith — the message of goodwill for all men and brotherhood for all creeds and races.”

Considering today’s many troubling worldwide conflicts, I stand with the Chief. May the message of Jesus Christ, born as a babe in the manger, sustain your faith, and bring peace to you and our world.

Healthy steps into 2014 Wait times are reportedly on the decline but as the new year unfolds it’s clear more work will need to be done to continue improvements in the health care sector to ensure all have access to quality and timely care.

The province says Saskatchewan health regions and health care providers are continuing to work hard to meet the demand for surgery.

In the first seven months of the fiscal year, patients in Saskatchewan received 50,904 surgeries, an increase of 3,690 from the same period last year.

The latest provincial wait time numbers show that, as of October 31, 2013, 79 per cent of patients were offered surgery within three months and 92 per cent within six months.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan admits, “Increased demand for surgeries in Saskatoon and Regina has presented challenges...”

Statistics indicate there has been a 65 per cent drop in the number of patients waiting more than three months for surgery since March 2010 and this is a trend we need to see continue throughout the province and not just in our larger centres.

As 2014 approaches the road is paved for progress. We need to continue efforts in spite of progress to keep the ball rolling in the right direction.

Pucker up but you’ll pay the price The way I see it...

Thankfully someone had sense enough to put things back into perspective, but how did it ever get to this point in the first place? How could a six year old be labelled with a term that could potentially follow him for the rest of his life?

Crazy.

A six year old boy who goes to school in Denver, Colorado was suspended last week (the suspension has now been lifted), not because he hurt somebody, was disruptive or was causing big problems for his teacher, but because he kissed the hand of a fellow student during reading time.

The school claims the kiss was “sexual harassment.”

What? Where do you start with something like this? We’re talking about a six year old. Six, not 26. How could he even know what the term sexual harassment means let alone perpetrate it?

What rational adult could even think he was capable? School rules are necessary, but isn’t this carrying things a tad too far?

In the awake of it all, the boy’s mother told a news crew she believed school officials were overreacting and I completely have to agree. She was shocked when the school’s principal used the term

“sexual harassment,” and who wouldn’t be?

Now her son is asking her repeatedly, “what’s sex mommy?”

Reportedly, the little guy (Hunter) has been reprimanded in the past for kissing the same little He says he has a Shannon Deveau girl. crush on her and the feeling is mutual. Who can’t relate to that? We’re talking about two innocent and unsuspecting kids here. When interviewed Hunter said quite simply, “I like a girl and she likes me back. It was during class... We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That’s what happened..”

An innocent peck on the hand at school and now we have news crews, psychologists and school big wigs getting involved? Ridiculous.

Kids will be kids and having crushes and doing silly things will always be a part of that. I get that times are changing and as the school’s psychologist says “school boards are being forced to develop strict policies and follow them to the letter...” but seriously, throw a little common sense into the equation and lighten up a bit when called for.

It’s a grade one class, not a reform school for the wayward.

Column

Christmas recognition to under-appreciated folks So it is Christmas time again, and instead of asking for gifts – because nobody ever actually gets me any, even though I still want some – I will instead use this space to express appreciation for different people in December. There are, inevitably, people around town who just don’t get the appreciation they deserve.

Let’s start with snow removal, because until I moved to Yorkton I didn’t actually experience reliable municipal snow removal. Of course, growing up on a farm that’s to be expected, and also the reason farmers usually own their own snowplow. If we absolutely needed to go somewhere it was just a matter of waiting for dad to clear a path. However, when you lived in Saskatoon, where there is not enough parking for a large tractor, you begin to appreciate the magic of prompt snow removal. There, every storm was marked by the distinct sound of a car straining to get traction on streets that were generally not clear. I noticed this on a recent Sunday when we were beset by a bit of a storm, I could go and drive somewhere without worry, which is a lot more rare than you would think.

Credit to city crews then, for making it possible to navigate the city for anyone with reasonable tires on their car. They even get out on a cold Sunday, a day I marked by drinking hot chocolate in my underpants

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger until I realized I was out of some essentials and had to get to the store. I’m sure everyone would much rather drink hot chocolate than go plow the streets, though I won’t presume to choose people’s clothing preferences, so we should be grateful someone had to actually go out in that weather.

Also getting some appreciation are cashiers, especially during Christmas season. A particularly good cashier – and there are many in the stores in this city – makes the worst part of shopping painless. I hate lines, and I hate parting with money, but a busy store makes you deal with both, so I love it when I’m in a line that moves swiftly and efficiently. Sometimes

you even get advice for your next shopping trip, which can be handy if you actually remember it. Not every cashier is great, but I think that the great ones will know who they are, for their lines move quickly and people generally leave their till happy to have spent a pile of money.

Finally, I will give credit to children who do not scream in public. I know, people focus on poorly behaved children, the ones who pierce the store with screams specifically designed to make another person’s hair stand on end. But the well behaved kids and their parents never get the credit they deserve. I mean I know that it’s hard to raise a kid, that’s why I’m not doing it, and I know every parent does it to the best of their abilities. I’m not going to be too mean to those whose kids just have to be a pain for a shopping afternoon, I’m sure that my own mother has stories of times when I was that screaming kid. But when I see a family where everyone is happy and nobody is shouting, I just want to give a little thanks, because I am definitely appreciative of everyone. If your kids have been good for the entire Christmas season, maybe give them an extra gift.

Those are some of the people who aren’t noticed every year, but let’s just give them some recognition for making life better.

While Jaccard’s call to prevent development of the oil sands would not lead to meaningful climate benefits, it would certainly lead to meaningful economic losses.

According to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, production of oil from Alberta’s oil sands is expected to more than double by 2030, rising from the 2012 level of 3.2 million barrels of oil per day to 6.7 million barrels per day.

In 2011, the Canadian Energy Research Institute projects that investments and revenues from new oil sands projects would be approximately $2-trillion over the period from 2010 to 2035, with a total GDP impact of $2.1-trillion in Canada. Employment, both direct and indirect, stemming from new oil sands investments is projected to grow to over 900,000 jobs by 2035 from 75,000 jobs in 2010.

And CERI’s estimate is somewhat more conservative than CAPP’s, estimating oil production at only 5.4 million barrels per day by 2035.

And it’s not only Alberta that stands to profit. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that 25 per cent of the spending on the oil sands supply chain will happen in other Canadian provinces: about 15 per cent in Ontario, seven per cent in B.C., four per cent in Quebec and the prairies, and about one per cent in Atlantic Canada.

Like Mulcair, Jaccard has gone down to Washington to try to shame Canada into walking away from a prospective source of prosperity and employment for the people of Canada. He does his country no service tossing around overheated rhetoric which only arms Canada’s competitors and critics against her best interests.

The public deserves transparency

To the Editor:

The Saskatchewan government’s decision to hand health care laundry services over to a private for-profit Alberta corporation, K-Bro Linen Systems Inc., raises many questions.

Why did they decide to close public health care laundry facilities and sign a secret contract when the business case developed recommended a two-plant publicly-operated system?

Why is this govern-

ment sacrificing hundreds of rural jobs that will negatively impact families’ livelihoods and local communities? Not only has the real economic impact on these communities never been calculated, but the government has never released their numbers used to justify privatization. How did they arrive at the numbers they claim make the case for privatization? The public has a right to know.

What are the risks to patient safety with

transportation, highway closures due to bad weather, and delayed delivery?

How will rolling back workers’ wages to barely above minimum wage impact the services?

The announcement states that K-Bro will have a ten-year contract with the option of renewal. Is the government creating a monopoly situation for K-Bro and closing the door on options for the province?

The Premier has criticized PotashCorp for

paying plum dividends while cutting jobs. What about the 400 jobs being lost in health care, by the government’s own hands? What about the cost of privatization to communities across Saskatchewan?

The public deserves transparency from our government and answers to these questions.

Gordon Campbell, President, CUPE Saskatchewan Health Care Council.

What about the health of the average Canadian?

To the Editor:

In 2009, the federal government announced a $200 billion “Extraordinary Financing Framework” in response to the needs of financial institutions.

Subsequently the government purchased from the banks AssetBacked Commerical Paper whose sale had frozen in the private market and whose value could not be determined.

Much detail was never disclosed to the public so we will never know the full story of the bank bailout.

But the massive amounts involved and the continued increase in ceilings of particular programs made it clear that the Canadian government would do whatever necessary to protect Canadian banks.

Now in 2013, the federal government has refused to consider enhancements to the Canada Pension Plan, despite knowing that two-thirds of working Canadians – 12 million people – don’t have workplace pensions. In contrast to the immediate and robust action of 2009, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty

suggested CPP reforms might be taken up again “two years from now, three years, five years, six years.”

Industry Minister James Moore may have retracted his insensitive remarks about the government having no responsibility for hungry children, but it is clear that Conservative priorities include the health and welfare of banks, but not the health and welfare of average Canadian families.

Larry Kazdan, Vancouver, B.C.

To the Editor: A recent report by the Fraser Institute on economic freedom across all 60 Canadian provinces and US states, has ranked Alberta first, and Saskatchewan right behind in second place.

This news received significant media coverage in Saskatchewan and across North America – great marketing as the province continually strives to attract new investment, businesses and people. Premier Brad Wall too, was understandably happy to promote this good news as far and wide as possible. However, a closer reading of the report shows that while Saskatchewan’s headline ranking has improved considerably in recent years, there is still much more for the government to do into the future.

Having ranked near the bottom of the 60 states and provinces just a decade ago, moving up from third to second this year can hardly be called a disappointment, but executive summaries don’t tell the whole story.

Digging further in to the detail of the report reveals that the scores used to make up the overall rankings actually include scores related to federal policies in both Canada and the US. Given that the Canadian federal government’s policies are scored more positively than the United States, Canadian provinces receive a boost in the overall rankings compared with their American counterparts.

It’s certainly true that Canada has made strides towards higher quality economic policies than the US in recent years, and these changes have positive impacts on people’s lives. But when it comes to judging a provincial government’s performance, we should focus more on the areas of the economy that they actually control. With that in mind, when federal policies are excluded from the overall scores in the report, leaving only those policies that provincial and state governments actually have control over, Alberta maintains its number 1 ranking, but unfortunately, Saskatchewan drops down to 27th out of 60.

This shows that at least some of the progress made in the last decade has come on the back of reforms in Ottawa, and that to ensure the province keeps pace with its neighbours in Alberta and beyond, further political resolve will be needed.

Interestingly, Canada holds claim not only to the top two ranked jurisdictions but also the bottom two – Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

This demonstrates the huge variability within the country, and emphasises the many large challenges that Canada still faces. But it also reveals a significant strength of the Canadian political system that the United States lacks, a distribution of many areas of public policy to the provinces.

While the US Federal government continues to concentrate more and more power in Washington DC, Canada has a golden opportunity to promote decision making at a much more local level. Decentralization and the promotion of local decision-making is an extremely effective way to improve outcomes from public policy choices.

Instead of one-size-fits-all policies across an entire country, provinces, cities or even communities can try different policies that better suit local conditions.

This kind of experimentation allows for different ideas to be tested to see what works and what doesn’t, helps identify what isn’t working much more quickly, and leads to higher quality policies overall.

Though a second place ranking overall is a significant achievement, 27th out of 60 for provincially controlled policies is a reminder that there is a long way to go before residents of Saskatchewan can be truly proud.

The Saskatchewan government should take another look at the areas of public policy they can have a real impact on, and they would also do well to pressure Ottawa for more devolvement of powers to the provinces, to ensure that vital public policy innovation can continue.

Examining floating rate funds – know your options Investors are yield hungry and that desire is not likely to diminish anytime soon. According to Canaccord Genuity analysts the number of baby boomers in the Canadian population is expected to increase almost two-fold, reaching 39 per cent over the next 15 years. Not surprisingly, they want low volatility, income-producing investments.

Particular focus has been on fixed income. With the likelihood of increased rates in the not-too-distant future, investors are seeking products that can provide protection while still generating a reliable yield. Some have looked to mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on floating rate loans. These products have drawn considerable interest in recent years, but are often misunderstood.

As their name denotes, these funds invest in floating rate loans. They are debt instruments whose coupon rates vary based on a predetermined spread above a benchmark rate that is regularly reset. The most commonly used benchmark is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which is essentially the average rate that the most creditworthy international banks will lend to each other.

The current attraction to floating rate funds, and their major advantage, is their low sensitivity to interest rate changes. Since the loans have a floating rate they are not subject to the same kind of pricing risk as a bond in a rising rate environment.

However, neither will they gain much when rates decline.

There is some rationale that floating rate funds may perform well over the near term. According to BlackRock, bank loans have tended to do much better than higher-quality fixed income over the last three Fed tightening cycles. Floating rate funds also offer attractive relative yields and, currently, many have yields comparable to high yield bonds.

Floating rate funds are not without risk. Like bonds, they are subject to credit risk although their claim on the company’s capital structure ranks higher, so recovery on default tends to be better.

BlackRock estimates the default rate for loans over the next two to three years to be roughly half the four per cent average recorded over the last 20 years. They also point to a Moody’s study, which found that recoveries in the same period averaged

Financial freedom

www.reynoldsinglis.ca approximately 80 per cent and did not deviate appreciably in the past three market downturns.

Floating rate funds are not meant to be a core holding but rather can play a complementary role in portfolio diversification. They have historically experienced low correlation with stocks and investment grade bonds, which helps lower the risk pro-

file of a fixed income portfolio, an important aspect to consider when guarding against rising rates.

In their quest for yield investors need to be mindful that these products are complicated and due diligence is essential. They should look for answers to important questions such as a fund’s compatibility with their risk tolerance; fund liquidity and the ability to exit in a timely fashion; the investment grade of the loans; the fund manager’s experience in this asset class; and the fees, which are diverse.

City ready for growth Con’t from Page 1.

“We’re at the point that things have to start to getting fixed, and that is the course our council has chosen as we move into the next decade,” Maloney says.

One project that the city hopes to undertake is an expansive project repairing the infrastructure under Broadway, but the scale of the work depends on how much support the city can get for the project. He says that they want to redo Broadway properly, and upgrade the water and sewer so it doesn’t need to be touched for decades, but the project is ambitious and will require more than just the city to do work to the scale they want to. Without provincial and federal grants,

Maloney says the city will have to reconsider the scale or timing of the project.

“We’ve waited this long, a lot of the pipes under Broadway were put there in the 1960s. We would like to upsize those pipes and renew that infrastructure. People will say why now, but if we do it now and do it properly, we will be doing something that will good for the next 75 years,” Maloney says.

Growth was the theme of 2013, especially in terms of business, and Maloney predicts that the themes will remain the same into the new year, as more business sets up shop in the city.

BIG WINNER – The winner of the Hyundai for Habitat car draw is Kevin Borden, pictured (left) receiving his keys from Ron Kaban, Dealer Principal of Yorkton Hyundai. Borden, who has also volunteered on the latest build, says that he’s going to give the car to his mom for Christmas. The draw was a big success, raising $30,820 for Habitat for Humanity in Yorkton. The most recent Habitat build on Tupper Ave. is expected to be complete early in the new year, and they are currently in the process of selecting the family for the next home in the community. Kaban says he’s happy to see the draw grow, and hopes that next year will continue to raise more money. Laurie Renton, fundraising chair for Habitat for Humanity, encourages people to get out and volunteer for the cause, and says it’s more than just building, but there are many other ways to contribute.

Celebrating Christmas – European style Submitted Askildt

by

Kaare

and offered to the Nordic gods, it was now imposed to be brewed and blessed by a priest in the name of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.

JUL (CHRISTMAS) In Norway we celebrate Jul. The name is derived from the Old Norwegian language (still spoken in Iceland) Jol or Jolablot (Jul offering) which has its origin in the January 12th pagan celebration of the mid-winter day in Scandinavia. King Haakon 1 Haraldson (930 – 960) ordered that Christmas must be celebrated on December 25, to coincide with the Christmas celebration throughout central Europe, and sought to stop the pagan offer ritual as part of the political process to introduce Christianity to Norway.

Therefore the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ was in Norway allowed to use the old name of Jul. TRADITIONS AND DIFFERENCES Most of Europe has given the celebration a Christian name.

In English it is called Christmas (Christ Mass), in Germany it is called Weihnachten (Exalted Night), in France it is called Noel (indicating birth), but in Scandinavia the celebration of the birth of Christ has retained the old Germanic name of Jul. The English language (which is indeed a Germanic language) has also retained the archaic Yuletide.

Uniform elements of Christmas celebrations across the world would be lighted candles, family gatherings, traditional meals, exchange of gifts, and colour symbols like red and green, Santa Claus and his helpers, angels, stars and statues of the three wise men visiting upon Mary and Joseph and the infant Jesus, and a variety of traditions that varies from country to country.

In Norway Christmas is celebrated on December 24 with a Christmas Mass in the afternoon. At home a special Christmas supper is waiting for the fam-

CHRISTIAN EVOLUTION Other early Christians celebrated mainly the three wise men that followed the star of Bethlehem and delivered gifts to the baby Jesus. The date for the wise men to arrive at the crib was set to January 6th. The birth of Christ was of lesser importance,

ily upon arrival from the church, candles are lighted and special Christmas music would be playing. A decorated Christmas tree is prominently displayed and gifts are exchanged after supper. Some households might even get a visit by Santa Claus during the evening of Christmas Eve. SEASONAL CIRCUMSTANCES Practical reasons such as amassing hay and grain to feed the livestock during the winter, dictated how many animals to overwinter, and the excess would be slaughtered and butchered. It was therefore only natural to have a feast to mark the end of the slaughter. In Norway where the sun slides over the horizon or behind large mountains, it would have been simple to anticipate when the sun would disappear. It is assumed that there would have been a feast and offering to the gods even in the Stone Age. The Germanic word Jul seem to indicate that it is a very old tradition.

In the old Viking age, the mid-winter celebration would last about three days. They had to make offerings to the gods, drink mead and party hardy! It is unclear what the old Vikings were celebrating.

It more than likely was to make offerings for next

and got its own liturgy around the year 800.

The birth of the baby Jesus became more important during the middle ages. The forty days before Christmas day became a period of fasting, and the Christmas celebration lasted for another forty days. The Christmas gospel would then become central to the celebration.

It became usual to have plays performed that would contain the crib with the baby Jesus, and the arrival of the three wise men, a tradition that has been maintained and

is still done in our day and age.

CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY

In Norway, and also in many other countries, many symbolic traditions with Christian contents, and some without any connection to Christianity are being maintained, such as a Christmas tree, an advent calendar, advent candles and the advent star. The tradition of Christmas Mass on December 24 is still observed in Norway.

year’s crop, to celebrate the life of the dead warriors having made their way to Valhalla, or a light festival by bonfires to offset the dark winter days.

JULEBLOT (JULE OFFERING) It was the time of the year marked by the contrast between gay festivities and dark horror.

While drinking mead and enjoying a good time, they had to also watch out for the dark forces that were believed to roam around.

Oksoreia or just Reia was the name of a scary gang of dead people, trolls and other bad and mischievous people that would travel about and scare both people and livestock.

When Christianity was introduced to Norway, the old traditions were included to ease the transition from Nordic gods. Jul was still celebrated, but given new contents and meaning. The old winter offering to the gods were eliminated, given a new date and replaced with the celebration of the birth of Christ. However, the transition spanned over many generations, with offerings to the Nordic gods on the old date and the celebration of Jesus birth on the new date, until offerings to the Nordic gods were forbidden around the year 1000. When in the old days the mead was brewed

In the old days mead was brewed and offered to the Nordic gods.

THE BIGGEST GIVER – Sacred Heart High School’s SRC spent the month of December running a food drive. “Our goal was to bring in 1,000 pounds of food for Hyundai’s food drive. They surpassed our goal by 700 pounds! The generosity of our students really shows what Christmas is all about,” says SRC Advisor, Mrs. Melissa Moen. The food drive campaign was dubbed “The Biggest Giver,” where the food was weighed throughout the campaign and the class which donated the most food would receive donuts and drinks. Mr. Curtis Moen and Mrs. Teresa Hartman lead the top classes to victory, with each class donating 46 pounds per student. Pictured above, the SRC presents Ron Kaban from Yorkton Huyndai, with the food.

YEAR IN REVIEW- The News Review Sports looks back at the best Yorkton sports moments of 2013 to ring in the holiday year and 2014.

One of 2013’s top stories was the Yorkton Terriers SJHL Championship run, one that captured the attention of the city.

Year in Review: Terriers win Canalta Cup on home ice

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The News Review sports writer Chase Ruttig selected excerpts of his top Yorkton sports moments of 2013.

Here is his column from the Yorkton Terriers SJHL Championship.

This season was my first covering the Yorkton Terriers, going into researching the team and covering and attending the preseason scrimmages, exhibition games and camps. I didn’t know what to expect.

I knew that the Terriers had lost to the Melville Millionaires in the Sherwood playoffs the year before and that they were returning key players, but still there wasn’t anything that screamed out that the Terriers were going to win an SJHL Championship and I was relatively new to covering the team. Yet as the season moved along in the fall you started to sense that the Terriers group was a special one and one that had the hallmarks of a team that was going to be memorable.

Their defense, which was undersized at the start of camp, got a huge boost in getting back Yorkton’s John Neibrandt a WHL Champion with the Kootenay Ice and Austin Bourhis from the Prince Albert Raiders to shore up their blueline and provide a physical presence.

Tayler Thompson, who had injury problems and spent only partial time with the Terriers as a member of the Prince George Cougars, was back for a full season as was fellow former Cougar John Odgers. The Terriers began to get deeper and

deeper as a roster and with that the season started to progress and signs started to emerge.

The Terriers started to show that they were a contender in the SJHL and carried that through their three week long November road trip while they were kicked out of the FAA for the Harvest Showdown and despite some road woes were still right at the top of the Sherwood Division standings heading into the last game before the Christmas break where they would host the Notre Dame Hounds with first in the division on the line.

The Terriers showed that they were a team built to win a championship in that game, they dominated every aspect of the game at the FAA when they easily could have mailed it in with long drives back home or to the airport before Christmas looming in the morning.

Captain Devon McMullen shed the mitts after a big hit as did Derek Falloon as two of the Terriers smallest players in stature stood up for their teammates while the Terriers cruised to a 4-1 victory and confirmed that they were the top dog in the Sherwood Division, a division lead that they would hang onto until the end of the season losing just twice in the regular season at the FAA. It was that defending of home ice that was so special about the 2012-13 Yorkton Terriers. Away from home the Terriers would lose 15 times in the regular season, it was their Achilles Heel, but for whatever reason they always put in a full effort for their paying customers. Every night but two

(and once in the playoffs to Melville) the Terriers fans went home happy thanks to a full effort from the Terriers. “Who Let the Dogs Out” would be played a lot after Terriers home wins and the Terriers would go into the playoffs as one of the favorites to hoist the Canalta Cup with no player in the Top 10 of scoring in the league. In fact the Terriers didn’t even have a scorer crack the Top 15, and Nathan Murray the team’s regular season scoring leader at No. 20 on the SJHL league leaders list didn’t even score a goal until Game Six of the Canalta Cup Final. Yet the Terriers always seemed to win, the right guy always seemed to step up and nobody seemed to care who scored the big goal, who made the big hit, or who got the post game interview and glory for having a big game. The whole team only cared about winning for each other and slowly but surely the city started to pay attention. Game One of their first round series against the Estevan Bruins only saw 700 people fill the Farrell Agencies Arena, yet by the end of the playoffs you couldn’t find a ticket by puck drop. When they went on the road the fans followed on fan buses or by driving themselves, bringing air horns, cowbells, and whatever they could to attempt to bring some of the Terriers home ice advantage on the road.

It ended up working as the Terriers shook off their road woes in the playoffs to help lift the Canalta Cup. In Game Six against the Melville Millionaires the Terriers shocked a packed Horizon Credit Union Centre to win the Sherwood Di-

vision title and get revenge on the rivals that eliminated them the year before. In that game frequent healthy scratch Dylan Johnson, who didn’t play since Game Two of the first round against the Bruins, came in and scored two second period powerplay goals on League MVP Alex Wakaluk to lift the Terriers to the Division title. Melville had the league’s top two scorers as well as the MVP in net in Wakaluk, making the Terriers win that much sweeter and once again showing the value of a complete team.

By the end of the game the crowd was all Yorkton, with “Go Terriers Go” chants at every whistle and faceoff taunting their rival fans as the crowd at Melville’s new arena was nearly a 50-50 split in Terriers and Millionaires fans.

That support trickled over into the Canalta Cup Final where the nearly two and a half hour drive to Humboldt did not deter the fans from filling up the two charter buses making the trip up or driving themselves to support their Terriers on the road. In the final the Terriers once again lacked the statistical numbers of the Broncos led by CJHL Goaltender of the Year Matt Hrynkiw and former #1 WHL Bantam Draft Pick Alex Forsberg. The series between the Broncos would be a tight one, with the Terriers needing at least one win in Humboldt to take home advantage from the defending champion Broncos they would fall just short in Game One as Alex Forsberg’s OT winner would give Humboldt the win.

Year in Review: YRHS Basketball win provincial bronze

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The News Review sports writer Chase Ruttig selected excerpts of his top Yorkton sports moments of 2013.

Here is his story on the Yorkton Regional High School winning its second straight bronze provincial basketball medal.

Nearly five years ago Jason Payne saw the last player from the Kris Heshka led Raiders provincial championship team graduate in Nolan Johnstone, ending an era as well as seeing nearly his entire team graduate creating a transition period for the Sr. Raiders basketball program.

In came Daniel Mandziuk and Ben Redl, who made the transition process nice and short for the Raiders, coming in as grade nines from MC Knoll and St. Mikes respectively, the two would form a bond together and provide an immediate impact for the Raiders with Mandziuk leading the Sr. Raiders in scoring in just Grade nine.

Fast forward to 2013 and the Raiders headed into Hoopla for the last weekend of the dynamic duo’s high school career looking to go out on top against number one ranked Prince Albert St. Mary’s, a team that had beat them four times this season.

Something that was a longshot statistically was something the Raiders thought they could realistically achieve after an impressive March performance against St. Mary’s and quality wins over Swift Current and Weyburn set up a date in the provincial semifinals with the top seeded Maurauders.

However, the fairytale ending was not quite in the books as a 13-0 St. Mary’s run to start the game followed

by another quick run by the Maurauders to end the half had the Raiders down 15 with just two quarters left in the game.

Things did not go the Raiders way to start the third quarter either as St. Mary’s employed a full court press to jump out to a lead the Raiders could not come back from, resulting eventually in a blowout loss to end the Raiders dreams of reaching a provincial championship. “We were tight and nervous and it showed in some of the plays that didn’t go our way in the semifinal,” said Jason Payne about the loss. Payne also pointed out that the 13-0 run was probably the turning point of the game. “Going down 13-0 to start the game was a huge blow for

us as we went into halftime just down 15 so if we could have erased that start we pretty much played with them for the rest of the first half after that point” laments Payne.

After the loss the Raiders would go up against Regina school O’Neill in the bronze medal game. With both teams coming off of heartbreaking semifinal losses both teams did not know what to expect coming into the game emotion wise, something Payne noted and addressed before the game saying, “I spoke to the players and Grade Twelve’s going into the bronze medal game and asked them how they wanted to play their last game with a Raider jersey on and I felt that kind of spoke to them heading into a

BACK TO BACK BRONZE. Backed by two of the top players in the school’s history in guard Daniel Mandziuk and forward Ben Redl, the Yorkton Regional High School earned their second 4A basketball bronze medal on a buzzer beating three over Regina O’Neill in March.

game where both teams could have easily just mailed it in and went home after a tough loss the day before.”

In the first half the Raiders and O’Neill exchanged baskets with each team matching up well with each other. O’Neill’s talented guards and one big post player gave an almost perfect balance to the Raiders strengths which made for a great display of basketball early on with both teams kind of feeling each other out In the third quarter O’Neill decided to make their run, jumping out to a ten point lead to start the fourth, giving the Raiders a huge hole to overcome. However some huge plays from their senior leaders got the Raiders back into the game as Darien Kequahtoway scored 21 points in the game, getting the Raiders back into the game with some timely three point shooting to help tie the game.

With the game tied Payne drew up a pick and roll for Mandziuk to run with Redl for the last time, where Mandziuk drew the double team and kicked it out to David Kauenhofen who drained a three to win the game and secure bronze for the Raiders. “It is hard to play in a bronze medal game after wanting so badly to win a provincial title but I can say we are all proud of what we accomplished this year and I will miss each player who graduated on this team” said Payne who noted that losing players is the hardest thing about coaching high school basketball.

The Raiders will now look to begin a new era with new players. The nature of the beast of high school sports makes it that way, a talented crop of Jr. Raiders and Alex Popoff will lead the way next season while Mandziuk/Redl move on. The torch has been passed but the memories of the era live on.

Year in Review: Lady Saints win soccer gold in 2012 final rematch

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After two years of heartbreaking near misses, the Lady Saints soccer team finally climbed to the top of Saskatchewan high school soccer and won the 2A Girls Provincial title as hosts over the weekend with a commanding 4-1 victory over defending three time champions Bishop Mahoney from Saskatoon.

Four teams advanced to the provincial finals on the basis of Regional play the weekend earlier with the Saints drawing Notre Dame in the final four with a spot to play in the provincial final on the line.

The Saints got off to a slow start against the Notre Dame Hounds.

The Hounds found the back of the net after just two minutes and then again at the six minute mark. Playing into a stiff wind and finding themselves two goals down so quickly in the game, the Saints had to play catch up. They netted a goal

by Bryce Sherring on a beautiful through ball feed from Rita Fetsch to make the score 2-1.

Before the half ended, the Hounds scored again and took a 3-1 lead into

half time.

With the wind the Saints turned things around thanks to an out of this world performance from their leading scorer Rita Fetsch.

Fetsch, one of the top girls players in the province, netter four straight unanswered goals as the Saints responded from a huge hole to roar back to a thrilling 5-3 win.

In the other semi-final, Saskatoon Bishop Mahoney defeated Moose Jaw Central 2-1 to advance to the Gold medal final against the Saints, setting up a rematch between the Saints and Mahoney from the following year.

In the Final the Saints met the two time champion Saskatoon Bishop Mahoney who were going for the three peat. In last year’s final the Saints dropped a close one to Bishop but this year was a different story.

Bishop started strong and controlled the ball through the middle with a lot of nice touches and great controlled passing.

The Saints however took control of the game in the first half. Rita Fetsch continued her goal scoring prowess and netted 2 goals in the first half and the Saints took a 2-0 lead into the sec-

ond half.

Midway through the second half, Kristen Jonassen hit the top right hand corner of the net on a beautiful shot from 30 yards out.

Bryce Sherring added a goal to complete the scoring for the Saints.

With time running out in the game, Bishop found the net with a goal but it was too little, too late.

The Saints team won their first ever girls soccer championship. In the two previous years they had captured provincial bronze in 2011 and silver in 2012.

Many of the senior players played key roles.

Morgan Shymanski was very solid as central defender, clearing the ball when needed and directing traffic at the back. Kristen Jonassen completed her excellent season by controlling the middle and being the best two way player on the field. Rita Fetsch continued to lead her team offensively as she has all season. Kaylee Ford moved from midfield to defense and had

her best game of the season. Rookies (Gr 9) Darrian Desjarlais and JJ Chogata impressed with their strong play and played with maturi-

Year in Review: Terriers win title, bring Yorkton together Cont. from Page 11.

It ended up working as the Terriers shook off their road woes in the playoffs to help lift the Canalta Cup. In Game Six against the Melville Millionaires the Terriers shocked a packed Horizon Credit Union Centre to win the Sherwood Division title and get revenge on the rivals that eliminated them the year before. In that game frequent healthy scratch Dylan Johnson, who didn’t play since Game Two of the first round against the Bruins, came in and scored two second period powerplay goals on League MVP Alex Wakaluk to lift the Terriers to the Division title.

Yet when Game Five rolled around with the series still tied at 2-2 going back to Humboldt, the Terriers still knew they could win in Humboldt and win the series and in post game interviews that confidence was repeated again and again, “We know we can win in Humboldt,” was the mantra that was repeated countless of times after winning Game Four, after two misses in Games One and Three the Terriers knew Game Five would be as good of a time as any as a win would give the Terriers a chance to close on home ice.

The fans knew it too, piling into the fan buses and making the trip up to Humboldt’s EPA Arena where they would be treated to one of the best games the SJHL has ever seen. Three overtimes. 50 saves from each goaltender and a Yorkton Terriers win from a tip in front of the net from hometown hero Jeremy Johnson sent fans back home for Game Six on Sunday night. In that Game Six the Terriers would come out roaring to a 3-0 lead. Yet Humboldt scored with under five minutes left to tie the game and you could hear a pin drop at the FAA, but the Terriers didn’t give up. In the end a last minute hustle play from their captain Devon McMullen to get to the puck and put it on net after winning a 50/50 battle for a puck that trickled out to the slot led to Jeremy Johnson’s second game winner in two nights and the Terriers first title since 2006. Yet for nearly an hour after the game, you still couldn’t find a seat at the FAA as the fans stayed to witness their team lift the cup. After the win the Terriers and their captain Devon McMullen showed why they were champions, when initially given credit for the goal, McMullen made sure to let everyone know that his teammate and last year forward Jeremy Johnson tipped in the winner.

That selflessness and commitment to the team over

personal glory is what made the 2012/13 Terriers an unforgettable team.

Blessed with homegrown talent in the Johnson brothers, Dylan and Jeremy who both contributed to huge series clinching playoff moments and a handful of other players who spent their minor hockey careers in the Yorkton area including Kale Thomson, John Neibrandt and Tayler Thompson, the Terriers team embraced the city of Yorkton and the city of Yorkton embraced them back. When the Terriers were headed out to Nanaimo for the Western Canada Cup the city sent them off in style with a pep rally that nearly 1000 people made it out to attend. When they were playing in Nanaimo, often during the middle of the day during the week. Fans made sure to tune into the radio or sneak out for lunch at one of the sportsbars showing the game to catch their team.

Even though they fell one game short of the Royal Bank Cup, this was a Terriers season that will be looked upon as one of the best Yorkton has ever seen.

51 wins. Just two regulation losses at home. Their first Canalta Cup since 2006. The 2012-13 Terriers gave Yorkton something to cheer about and the city rallied to support them, which is what sports is all about.

As a reporter I don’t cheer for a specific team or result as part of the job, but being from Yorkton it was an honor to follow a team that I cheered for as a child, watching the Terriers team that went to the Royal Bank Cup and won titles up until 2005-06. Watching the city come together to fill the FAA to full capacity for Game Six of the Canalta Cup Final was something I will never forget and being on the ice when the cup was presented to the players and to the city was one of the best moments of my short time working and covering sports in Yorkton.

The Axxys™ Railing Kit is revolutionizing the interior stair installation game by simplifying the entire process. Pivoting baluster and rail connectors eliminate complex stair angle calculations and cuts. Pre-drilled railing automatically spaces balusters which speeds and simplifies installation.

Add decorative baluster collars to take your design from sleek contemporary to smart and sophisticated. Axxys™ railing can be stained, painted or varnished to define your living space.

Waterfront Development at Anderson Lake across from the town of Saltcoats, just 20 minutes to Yorkton and 30 minutes to The Potash capital of the world. It makes sense to live year round at the lake. Enjoy morning sunrises and better yet the evening sunset across the sparkling water. These are all oversized lots with no building time lines, serviced with power, gas, phone and culverts from main road to lot. Owners are responsible for drilling well and installing septic tanks. There are a number of walkout style lots or build a big rancher style home. Reserve space between lot and lake which will provide space for walking trails along the water creating a lake front community that all owners will truly enjoy.
