SWEET SOUNDS OF THE SEASON – Yorkton’s Community Concert Choir under the direction of Laurene Jemieff along with the Yorkton Community Concert Band directed by Larry Pearen, recently presented a “Sounds of Season” Christmas Concert at St. Andrews United Church in Yorkton. Proceeds from the event were donated to the Soup Haven and the Salvation Army.

Local airport funded: needed upgrades to commence By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer It’s an important investment for Yorkton and it’s another step towards a fully functional airport that can better serve the community. Last week Yorkton/ Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz, on behalf of the federal government, presented a cheque for $250,000 to the city to put towards needed airport upgrades. The funding comes from the federal Government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF). Runway drainage as well as signage and lighting will all be upgraded. Changes will improve the movement of aircraft on the runways and make the airport safer. The Yorkton airport is the second-

busiest after Regina in southern Saskatchewan. “Our Government is committed to creating jobs, growth and longterm prosperity in our communities,” says Breitkreuz. “And by improving facilities such as the Yorkton Municipal Airport, we are helping to boost economic activity and maintain a high quality of life for Canadians. “Facilities like this are very, very important. They serve the entire business community which provides a foundation for continued economic growth.” With work slated for the summer, this will in turn create more jobs says Breitkreuz and greater prosperity for this area. This is good news for Yorkton, agrees Mayor Bob Maloney. “This sig-

nificant funding helps us to move forward with much needed improvements to our

airport infrastructure and will enhance our stature as the regional transportation hub of

East-Central Saskatchewan. “$250,000 is a large sum of money for the city. In the past number of years through the Yorkton Airport Authority – and I want to congratulate the board – a lot of work has been done at the airport... and I think to councils credit, we’ve bought in. We’ve been spending money at the airport and help like this is just huge.” Much credit was given to the Airport Authorities current Board Chair, Ron Evinou who has been working hard to see that needed improvements happen. Unfortunately for the board, Evinou has announced he is stepping down and moving to Ontario but will continue to support local efforts the best he can.

CIIF supports, on a cost-shared basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) is delivering the Fund in Western Canada with an allocation of $46.2 million over two years. Since 2006, the Harper Government, through WD, has invested in job-creating small and mediumsized businesses, aerospace, marine and defence industries, and supported innovative entrepreneurs in pursuing emerging markets. By continuing to promote new economic opportunities, Breitkreuz says WD is helping to create jobs, economic growth, and long-term prosperity.

Yorkton welcomes new doctor to the city By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer He hasn’t had much time to unpack, but Dr. Yusuf Kasim is already making a difference for women in the region. The obstetrician and gynecologist has recently opened a practice in the city. Kasim has been practicing in Canada for a year, starting in New Brunswick for a threemonth locum before moving to Manitoba, and making his way to Estevan and then Yorkton. Before moving

to Canada, he worked in Ireland for six years and was a practicing obstetrician in Nigeria. “I felt I belonged in Saskatchewan... I have friends who have been working in Saskatchewan who have spoke well of the province, of a good family life... Coming to Yorkton, it’s a much bigger center than where I was before. I’ll be able to practice more, and my colleagues have spoken well of the place,” Kasim says. He says that he has been seeing an increasing

DR. YUSUF KASIM is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and has recently opened a practice in Yorkton. He is one of three OB/GYNs working in the city.

“I think the province and the region are working towards reducing waiting times, so that patients don’t have to travel a long time to get their obstetrics and gynecological help,” Kasim says. Kasim says that the growth in the region has influenced how patients find their way to his office. He notes that while patients are normally referred to his office by a

family physician, many of his patients so far have arrived in the city recently, and they don’t have a family physician yet, but know they need to see a gynecologist. He says he wants to work collaboratively with family physicians to ensure the best care for his patients. He says he has seen patients from throughout the region, from as far away as Dauphin, MB. He says there’s a real

need for people to visit a specialist relatively nearby. “They don’t have a gynecologist there, so they prefer to come to Yorkton rather than going south to Brandon,” Kasim says. Kasim says that he is open to receiving new patients and hopes to continue to grow his practice as he works in the area. People can contact his office at 782-2332.

BIG WINNER – Steve Procyshen is sure to have a Merry Christmas driving around in a new car, as he’s the big winner of Yorkton Hyundai and Habitat for Humanity’s giveaway of a new Hyundai Accent. The draw raised $25,000 overall. Procyshen says he’s completely speechless, and that when he got the call he didn’t believe he had actually won. Apart from buying a ticket, Procyshen has also helped with two previous builds in the area.

number of patients, and a third gynecologist was necessary for the area, just due to patient workload. Some of his early patients have been waiting to see a specialist for a long time, Kasim says, and he’s proud that he has been able to help women get the care they need quickly. He says that he can see more people in his field coming to the area as the region grows.

pARTners celebrates the art of First Nations By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The community pARTners art gallery in the Yorkton Public Library is hosting a new show that celebrates decades of First Nations art in the province. Marking Time collects pieces from the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s permanent collection. Belinda Harrow, outreach coordinator for the Saskatchewan Arts Board, says that the show collects pieces from four decades, from the ‘60s to today. The show mixes craft pieces and fine art, with the goal of representing a wide cross-section of First Nations artwork. “I think people appreciate seeing the skill involved in those works, and I wanted to show the patterns you see in those traditional craft styles is found now in the contemporary painting. Artists are looking back at the traditional methods of making work and applying them to newer pieces,” Harrow says. She says that there are a number of themes that emerge in the different pieces, with things like horses being a frequent cultural touchstone, for example. The show was originally put together for Agribition, inspired by the artist in residence for that year, who was an aboriginal artist

focused on history. Harrow says that lead her to consider the Arts Board’s own history, as well as considering the wide variety of aboriginal art in the collection itself. Another one of Harrow’s goals for the show was to showcase some of the work that

doesn’t leave the permanent collection as much. She says that many of the threedimensional pieces don’t get seen as much, so the goal was to give people an opportunity to see them again. Marking Time will be at the Yorkton Public Library until the end of

April, and there are plans to make it a centerpiece of educational programming at the library. “This show has a lot of prominent First Nations artists in it, so it will be a nice draw for people. It’s varied, beautiful show,” Harrow says.

Saskatchewan is on the up and up At one point people were exiting the province at an alarming rate in search of greener pastures. Gone are those days. Saskatchewan is in fact, the place to be. Job numbers are climbing, wages are on the rise and opportunity is abound – naturally, this is all attracting more and more to the province. New population numbers released in December by Statistics Canada show that Saskatchewan grew by 6,606 people in the third quarter of 2012 to an all-time high of 1,086,564. From October 1, 2011 to October 1, 2012, Saskatchewan‘s population jumped by 23,024. That’s the most growth in a single year since 1921, beating the mark of 22,154 set in the previous quarter of this year. In spite of the challenges that growth brings with it, this is a win win situation for Saskatchewan residents. “Growth means more jobs and opportunities for Saskatchewan people,” says Premier Wall. “It means more and more young people are choosing to stay in Saskatchewan after they finish their education instead of moving elsewhere. “Growth means that this fall, we were able to provide additional funding to schools with rapidly expanding enrolment while still maintaining the only balanced provincial budget in Canada. These are some of the benefits of a growing province and that’s why we want it to continue.” Saskatchewan’s population grew by 2.16 per cent in the past year, second only to Alberta among Canadian provinces. Only Saskatchewan, Alberta and Newfoundland enjoyed positive interprovincial migration (more people moving in than moving out) in the past quarter. The Saskatchewan Plan for Growth laid out by the province sets a target of 1.2 million people living in Saskatchewan by 2020 and the premier says the province is on track to meet that goal. “A strong economy, a balanced budget, thousands of job opportunities – these are the foundations of a growing province and that’s why Saskatchewan is the place to be in Canada right now.” There’s no place like home.

This New Year, why not pay it forward? Paying it forward, random acts of kindness or simply doing a good deed for another, expecting nothing in return – it’s not a new concept but it’s a simple action that everyone has it in them to do and it’s a concept that can really change lives. What does “Pay it Forward” Mean? “The expression “pay it forward” is used to describe the concept of asking that a good deed be repaid by having it done for others instead. It is to commit random acts of kindness, especially to strangers. It can be donating money or performing good deeds without hoping for recognition or remuneration. It could be as simple as giving your time, talents and energy to improve the situation and/or mood of others. Conducting these acts of kindness and generosity can make this world just a little more bearable for some and change lives for others. Whether the act is big or small “Paying it Forward” can build communities, and brings people together.” The idea has been resonating throughout local communities as of late because of the actions of a tiny, six year old boy. Canora’s Chase Kraynick was just six when his life was taken in a tragic accident but before he left us, he made a lasting impression

and touched the hearts of many. In 2011 Chase’s school decided to take on a “paying it forward” project. Little Chase took the idea to heart. He shovelled driveways, he opened doors, his family says he constantly thinking of Shannon Deveau was new ways to give and to help others. Chase was just six and he made a difference. Can you imagine our world if everyone thought like Chase? In his memory, the concept is carrying on. It’s such a simple idea but think of the impact. You’re heading to the post office, in a rush, lots on your mind, bills to pay... we all know what that’s like. But imagine rather than the door slamming in your face, the person ahead of you holds it open with a smile and a hello. More likely than not, you’ll do the same for the next person... and so on, and so on. It changes the outcome of that morning and maybe a life. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee, smile, open doors, carry groceries, just get out in your community and be a good person – what’s the worst that can happen? Instead of grumbling and complaining about our situations, try to find, and appreciate, the good – pay it forward and watch positive change happen.

The way I see it... Column

The world isn’t going anywhere any time soon Since you’re reading this, you’re alive. As you are alive, you noticed that the world didn’t end on December 21, 2012. A while ago I put together a column on the absurdity of these apocalypse theories, and now I get to gloat a bit. All of the Mayan prophecy nonsense didn’t come to pass, because the Mayans didn’t make a prophecy and even if they did the calender created by a culture thousands of years ago really has nothing to do with our reality today. So why did this nonsense get traction? Well, for one, it was a way to make money. The people who pushed it hardest had books to sell about what they believed was going to happen. Some people decided to make a big budget film about the world exploding, and capitalized on the goofy theory as a marketing angle. Some decided to sell products to people who somehow believed they would survive the world ending if they just had enough canned goods. It doesn’t matter if it was utter nonsense, it was still an opportunity to separate a fool from their money. The more difficult question is why the fools themselves decided to believe in the ridiculous notions put forward about the 21st of the month. It’s not like this was the only time that we had an apocalypse on our hands, end of the world prophecies pop up frequently in human history, with charlatans convincing others

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger that all will end soon and they must prepare. I can remember at least four in my lifetime, and there have been various different predictions that have received various amounts of traction over the years. This latest threat was no different from the Great Disappointment in 1844, when the Millerites predicted that Jesus Christ would come back to earth and cleanse it with fire. People wanted to believe it was the end, even if it wasn’t. Why do people want to set the world on fire, so to speak? While I can’t speak for the people of 1844, in 2012 it is actually a relatively stressful time to be alive. There are economic problems in many nations,

especially in Europe and the United States, there are wars in the Middle East, and major environmental issues that are affecting the entire world. Right now, there are no clear solutions to any of the major problems faced by different people in the world, and long term questions about what exactly will happen have no clear answer. But the end of the world, strangely, is a way to relieve that stress. You don’t have to think about solving the world’s problems if it’s all going to disappear anyway. Long-term planning is difficult, and it’s hard to gauge how we are going to deal with the various problems the world is currently facing. Eliminate the possibility of the future, and while it may continue to be stressful, it’s also oddly liberating. People can then live like there is no tomorrow, and have the stress-free life that comes with pretending there are no consequences to your actions. Well, since the world is still around, we don’t have an easy way out. We’ve still got problems, we still need to plan for the future, and we’ve still got a big spinning marble that we have to keep in decent shape for the next generation down the line. For most of us, this has never changed, but for the people who thought it was all going to end, now they’ve lost their easy way out. Expect a new apocalypse prophecy within the decade.

Cost of gov’t/corporate dishonesty A new way forward To the Editor:

On Friday, March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake of the coast of Japan wreaked havoc, damaging structures and generating a tsunami greatly amplifying the destruction and loss of life. It also triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power station. Ongoing monitoring of cesium levels in fish indicate that radiation continues to leak from the station. A committee of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Research Council is now touring Japan to determine what American nuclear power plant operators can learn from the disaster. What they’re learning from their Japanese hosts should interest all of us. Forget the earthquake and tsunami. Japanese officials have told the American visitors that the causes of the Fukushima nuclear disaster were entirely man-made. It resulted from: 1) a lack of humility and 2) a reluctance to share information about nuclear power risks with regulators and the public. In other words, the root cause was a paternalistic arrogance of believing to know what information is good for the public and what isn’t. Company officials said they feared openness would “make people worry about the safety” of nuclear power. Public confidence trumping truth. This should interest all of us because the trade-off between telling the truth and building confidence isn’t reserved for the world of nuclear power regulation. What we are told about access to health care, the reliability of food inspection, the speed

of the justice system, emergency response capability, pipeline safety, pollution from industrial facilities, quality of municipal services, security at the airport, and voting irregularities in the political system all contain conflicting obligations. What happens when the truth conflicts with the need to sell confidence? Fukushima happens. System failure is the inevitable consequence of these competing priorities. The American physicist Richard Feynman sums it up nicely; “...reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.” But why, when faced with these competing priorities, does industry and government not simply tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Why is the spinning, repackaging and cherry-picking to sell, or build public confidence, inevitable? The answer lies in a short, 12 page paper called The Market for Lemons that earned its author, George Akerlof the Nobel Prize. Think of buying a used car. The owner knows more about the car than you do, so it’s worth your while to discount what you are being told and the price. In other words, you should assume the car isn’t as good as you’re being told. This discounting behaviour is reflected back to sellers, so they increasingly bring lemons to the marketplace while exaggerating the quality to consumers. This causes buyers to further discount what they are being sold. This cycle repeats until the market becomes dominated by lemons, dishonest sellers, and ripped-off consumers. Akerlof demonstrated that in any market where one side has more information than the other (called

asymmetries of information), the quality of goods sold will decrease, sellers become increasingly dishonest, and buyers are increasingly taken advantage of. This explains why American banks bought mortgage backed securities leading to the crash of 2008, why competitive bidding ensures too much is paid for too little, and why projects tend to go over budget. It also explains why government and industry spends so much effort at spinning and repackaging information before releasing it to the public. Audits, satisfaction surveys, performance targets and reporting, impact studies, ‘public education’ campaigns, and positive press releases populated with too-good-tobe-true information are used more to build confidence and sell positions than report the facts. What the Japanese have learned from Fukushima, and what we need to learn as well, is that these actions inevitably produce declining performance and failure. A new form of regulatory body is being proposed in Japan with the aim of removing asymmetries of information among companies, government, regulators and the public. If this sounds like transparency, you’re right. But, ironically, transparency has become a sound bite used to sell the concept rather than live it. Making transparency real requires rules and guidelines concerning how information is reported and presented. The only thing standing in the way are those believing they know what’s best for you. Robert Gerst, Troy Media Corp.

F-35 fiasco exposes dishonesty/incompetence To the Editor: It was two-and-a-half years ago – way back in mid-2010 – when Liberals stood alone to question the Harper government’s secretive, headlong rush to spend mega-billions buying a fleet of “stealth” warplanes. The whole thing just didn’t smell right. Yes, the RCAF’s existing CF-18 fighter-jets are ageing and will have to be replaced within 10 years or so. But the government provided no explanation of the defense and foreign policy mandates our airforce will be expected to discharge in the decades going forward, nor how this particular airplane is best suited to fill those needs. Worse still, contrary to

all the rules, the Conservatives insisted on “solesourcing” this purchase. In other words, there would be no competitive bidding process among several potential aircraft manufacturers; instead, the government would just hand the contract to Lockheed-Martin corporation – making this the biggest boondoggle in military procurement in Canadian history. Liberals repeatedly asked questions about the purpose for this purchase, the technical specifications, the constantly ballooning costs, and the government’s non-competitive procedure that bypassed at least four other major international suppliers. In his usual surly way, Mr. Harper accused every

questioner of being disloyal to Canada and our military. Worse still, the Conservatives were deliberately deceitful about the money. They kept two sets of figures to hide the true horrendous costs. But despite all the stonewalling, the truth began to trickle out in a skeptical analysis earlier this year by the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). His findings were later confirmed by the AuditorGeneral. They systematically demolished all the phony stories about costs starting at $9-billion, rising to $16-billion, and then $25-billion and more. The government scrambled to get yet another opinion. So now there’s a private sector audit by KPMG, setting the real

expense at something over $40-billion. This bungled project destroys any notion of Mr. Harper and his regime being good economic managers. Their arrogance and incompetence have exposed taxpayers to huge, unnecessary risks. And then they tried desperately to hide it, until the PBO and the Auditor-General blew the whistle on their years of deceit. In a rare moment of candour last week, the Public Works Minister admitted to Parliament that Conservative “openness and transparency” on the F-35 fiasco began only AFTER the Auditor-General laid bare their chicanery. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

First Nations stand together against change (Editors Note, the following is an Open Letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.) To the Editor: On behalf of the National Executive of the Assembly of First Nations, we write today regarding an urgent matter requiring immediate attention. As First Nations leaders from coast-to-coast-to coast, those with inherent rights and title and those with whom the Crown has entered into Treaty, we collectively raise our voices about the critical situation facing First Nations. On December 11th, 2012, Chief Teresa Spence commenced a hunger strike to call attention to the dire conditions which many First Nations communities and peoples face, and to protest the disrespect and shameful treatment of First

Nations by the Government of Canada. She has stated that she will remain on this hunger strike until a meeting is achieved between the Crown (including provincial Crown representatives where the provincial Crown is involved as in Treaty 9) and all Treaty First Nations to discuss the Treaty relationship and our respective obligations and outstanding issues. This situation creates an urgency that is foremost in our minds and is a direct correlation to the humanitarian crises being faced in many First Nations communities today. The Government of Canada has not upheld nor fulfilled its responsibilities to First Nations, as committed to by the Crown including at the Crown-First Nations Gathering January 2012. Canada has not upheld the Honour of the Crown in its dealings with First Nations, as evi-

denced in its inadequate and inequitable funding relationships with our Nations and its ongoing actions in bringing forward legislative and policy changes that will directly impact on the Inherent and Treaty Rights of First Nations. Treaties are international in nature and further indigenous rights are human rights, both collective and individual and must be honoured and respected. We seek an immediate commitment to a meeting with you as the representative of the Crown, together with the Prime Minister of Canada, to demonstrate respect and attention to the priorities set by First Nations. All First Nations across Canada stand united and in solidarity in advancing this urgent call for action and attention. National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo

To the Editor:

Nine billion people. This will be the population of our planet by 2050, according to the United Nations, and it seems like a pretty fair bet given that we just welcomed the seven billionth person last fall. CropLife Canada and the Grain Growers of Canada believe this population size is in fact sustainable and that Canada can play a leadership role in helping to feed the world. Already, even after Canada has consumed all the home grown food it needs, we are left with an additional $9 billion worth of crops and food products to sell to the world. We need to do more, though, than simply export food from Canada. We also need to export the tools for economic development and growth. This is why we are highly supportive of the Canadian International Development Agency’s new Economic Growth Strategy. CIDA has a long and proud history of delivering Canadian aid during times of crisis, but it also has a strong track record of fostering long-term development. Many may be surprised to learn that rapidly emerging and modern markets such as Brazil, Thailand, Costa Rica and South Korea were all development partners of CIDA until very recently. What CIDA can help to do, and what it plans to do with its new strategy, is help governments in developing countries to build the necessary legislative and regulatory frameworks to allow for economic growth. From our perspective, fair, transparent, science based regulation has been vital to our success, both in Canada and abroad. When investors see a stable, predictable regulatory environment, they see a place primed for success. That is what they see in Canada, and that is what we need them to see in emerging markets. There is also recognition from CIDA that government alone cannot do it all, and that leveraging the strength of the private sector will help to maximize the investments of Canadian taxpayers. Globally, we have already seen many examples of private sector involvement in highly successful projects such as: • Cassava is a vital crop in many parts of Africa. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is supporting the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and partners in the BioCassava Plus project. This is designed to develop cassava varieties with higher levels of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, as well as iron, and protein. This research is developing varieties appropriate for small farmers in Nigeria and Kenya, where cassava is widely consumed and nutrient deficiencies are prevalent. • By sharing agricultural knowledge with the public International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre, private sector companies have helped to develop new commercially available maize varieties that adapt to local conditions in developing nations, and wheat varieties protected against diseases that can wipe out entire crops. • The private sector has supported the South African Developing Agriculture Project, working with local farmers to increase and safeguard crop yields by adopting modern agriculture practices. In the Canadian agricultural sector, our Canadian farmers and crop science members are keenly interested in international development, and want to do what they can to assist in strengthening agriculture in emerging markets. Agriculture often provides the first and most accessible export products for emerging economies – if host governments welcome modern agriculture, and embrace science-based regulation, a thriving agriculture sector can follow. Canada can, and must, do more to help humankind around the globe. We need to do it, however, in a smart, strategic manner, partnering with public institutions, utilizing the market place and maximizing the innovative capacities of the private sector to make it happen.

The Christmas Story: a story of happiness This Christmas season is very difficult for those of us who have experienced a loss of any kind. It does not feel like a time to celebrate, to shop, to decorate, or even for family gatherings. As a matter of fact we may be wishing that we could go to sleep in December and wake up some time in January and all this Christmas stuff was over. The Christmas story is to be a story of happiness – for it is the GOOD NEWS – the birth of a baby that is the Savior of the world. Often we are so busy with the hustle and bustle of Christmas to notice the pain the people also must have experienced during this time- The deep pain, sadness, worry, the endless tears that were shed, the sleepless nights, the anxiety and the fear. Let’s just take a closer look at the Christmas story, and we will find many anxious, scared and tearful times. • Mary – a young unwed women – in labor, scared- alone in a stable away from the comforts of home and family. How hard this must have been for this young lady. One can’t even imagine the anxiety and pain she was going through. I am sure many tears were shed by her that night. • Joseph – so embarrassed that he thought he would dismiss Mary quietly on the side and just walk away from this entire picture. How difficult was this for him? Joseph no doubt had many sleepless nights of anxiety on his journey to Bethlehem. How

FROM MOURNING TO JOY... Column by Margaret Anne Yost would he support a wife and a new baby? • Then we hear of frightened shepherds in the fields as they were greeted by angels in the night sky. They must have been terrified to hear and see this unfold before their eyes. Were they hearing and seeing things? Were they going crazy? Difficult times were experienced by Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, not to mention the pain of the people of Egypt. I think there are more tears in the Christmas story than there were times of joy. Like people in the Christmas story we too have some very great fears, times of great pain, anxiety and sadness. But we also have the reassurance of a God who loves us and cares for us. We need not fear or be anxious or worried about our tomorrows. As we remember days of the past we can remember comfort and compassion that was poured out on us abundantly by family and friends who walked with us on our life journey. Without these people in our lives it would have been very difficult to make it though the first few days, weeks, month and years of our grief. God puts people in our path to give us comfort and compassion.

We give God thanks for the gift of friends and family. We recall the gift of memories. Not all memories are happy ones. Emotions run high and often misunderstandings do happen within families. We are all human and we make mistakes. Bad memories will quickly fade and the good memories will prevail. We recall gatherings and joyous times we shared- The love that was given and received. We give God thanks for the gift of memories. We were created to love each other and to care for one another. God showed us his endless love when he sent his son into the world. ‘Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.’ – Freya Stark

SAFETY FIRST – The Yorkton Regional High School Student’s Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) Chapter recently held a Check Stop event in partnership with the RCMP and Fire Department to help raise awareness of the dangers of driving while under the influence. In two hours more than 500 red ribbons were handed out to motorists in Yorkton. The ribbons are designed to be attached to a car aerial or mirror to serve as a visual reminder to make the responsible choice to not drink and drive. The YRHS SADD group reminds residents during this holiday season that “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drinks and Drive.”

Happy New Year

Margaret Anne Yost nursed for 35 years. Returning back to school I completed classes from the Red River College in the areas of Gerontology, Bereavement, Death and Dying. For twelve years I worked in bereavement support at a funeral home. At present I am employed as an Interim Parish Worker at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Melville Sask.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 23rd of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Well, it had to happen. We didn’t want to lose the drakes, so we placed the large dipping vat on top of the burning wood in the fire pit, filled it with water and added the feather off (laundry detergent). We enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea while the water was warming up, and I nonchalantly sauntered over to check on the drakes. They were also relaxing with their beaks tucked nicely under their wings, blissfully unaware of what was going to happen next. I will spare you the gory details. Suffice it to say that the execution was swift; in fact the drakes lost their heads! They are now dressed and in our freezer. Sorry Mrs. Foxy and Mr. Coyote, but you are not invited to this dinner! The entrails of the drakes had been discarded into a plastic bag that had been placed inside a large garbage pail. My wife was sitting outside relaxing with a cup of tea, with our dog Lady at her side. All of a sudden the hair on Lady’s back stood straight up and she was barking towards the bushes. Marion heard some grunting and heavy footsteps rumbling through the bushes. We are fairly certain that a black bear had smelled a free meal, but got scared off by Lady and Marion! Talking about wild life, apart from my wife and I, there are an abundant number of wild animals that comes into the yard or the corral, causing great excitement for our dogs. I just hope that there is no hunter chasing after the deer, elk or moose that wanders through, and start shooting at our horses! Coyotes and foxes are everyday occurrences as are raccoons, and of course our resident woodchuck! We have even seen a bald eagle soaring in the air and settling on a tree top as well! This is like living in a Canadian wild animal zoo! The question is: “Who’s running it?” “The horses are out! The horses are out!” says my wife on the phone. The store proprietor at Hazel Dell had phoned her in Preeceville to tell her that. I was working in my office and had not

noticed. “We don’t have any oats,” she continued excitedly, “so just put some chicken layer ration in the small white bucket and shake it. The horses will think its oats and will follow you!” I did as she asked, put some layer ration in the bucket and started walking out the driveway. I called for the horses, and by the time I got to the end of the driveway, they were coming galloping towards me. I turned, shook the bucket and the three of them started to crowd me. I had Spur on my left side and Leonard on my right, both trying to get their muzzles into the bucket. Mickey was right behind me breathing down my neck and trying to get at the bucket over my shoulder, resulting in his nostril blowing hot air into my ear! I had to get in front of them, so I started to run thinking: “Old man, you’re gonna pay for this tomorrow!” I haven’t done any serious running since my last marathon about 20 years ago, and here I’m doing a 300 yard dash in rubber boots amongst fit horses! The horses kept pace with me and looked at me as if they were saying: “Is this all you got for speed old man?” They were still trying to get at the bucket and they laid their ears back as they were getting a bit upset that I didn’t allow them access. I managed to hold them off and got them into the corral. I put down the bucket; the horses took turns smelling it and walked away while looking at me in disgust! Phew! Totally out of breath, I called my wife back and told her the horses were back in the corral, but that they got a little cranky when they realized that there were no oats in the bucket. “Well yes,” she said, I didn’t want to upset you by tell-

ing you that, but I was hoping you would manage anyway.” What a gal! I did a temporary fix on the fence where they got out, but by the time my wife got home they were out again. She got them this time, and she also fixed the fence while I cooked supper. Scientists have long been curious about why no penguin corpses are found frozen in the ice pack. What happens to their bodies when they die? Roald Amundson the famous Norwegian South Pole explorer observed the penguins in their habitat. He found that penguins are very ritualistic birds and they live an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguins are very committed to family, generally mates for life, and usually maintain contact with its offspring throughout its life. When a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, members of the family and social circle dig a hole in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing: “Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow! Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow!” Then they very carefully push the deceased into the ice hole!

YORKTON TERRIERS head into the holiday break with the SJHL’s best record. The Terriers are 24-8-1 to sit atop of the SJHL with 49 points, four points clear of Notre Dame’s 45 points. By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Twenty-four wins. Eight losses. One shootout loss. Forty-nine points. First place in the SJHL. These are the numbers that have the Terriers as the talk of the SJHL and expectations and spirits high as players and coaches head home for the SJHL’s Christmas break. The Terriers sit atop their division and the league by a four point margin and hold the league’s best offense with 129 goals scored in 33 games. The Terriers also hold the league’s second best defense , a balance that can be attributed to the fact that they hold the deepest roster in the league, returning much of the 2011/12 roster with fresh faces who have stepped up and filled their roles. “Depth was always the goal for us when we pieced together this roster, and now we have the team we wanted and got a lot of guys back from last year to give us a balanced roster” said Terriers head coach Trent Cassan. A big part of the change has been the improvement in goal with the tandem of Kale Thomson and Dawson MacAuley giving the Terriers quality goaltending night in and night out. Save for the difficult stretch at the start of November when the Terriers were on the road

for the weeks and Thomson has been on fire. A backup last season with MacAuley behind Warren Shymko in what was a goaltending carousel of sorts, Thomson has picked up his game in getting the majority of the starts this season his 14-4-1 record is second best in the league and a 2.48 GAA and .917 save percentage rounds out some solid statistics for the Yorkton product who has played his entire hockey career with the Harvest/Terriers. MacAuley has been equally as good in the number two role, going 7-2 with a 2.27 GAA and a .914 save percentage. A defense that is loaded in all three defensive pairings after the returns of John Neibrandt and Austin Bourhis has contributed to the hot goaltending, but the Terriers tandem has generally made all of the saves required to win so far. On offense balance has been the key with no real standout players. Nathan Murray leads the team with 32 points and has been huge as a prototypical power forward at left wing, but seven other Terriers have twenty points on the year in the first 33 games. That balance on all four lines has created a scenario where one player can be the hero on any given night, something that has been seen on multiple occasions this year. To drive that statistic home the Terriers leading goal scorer has only 16 goals with a handful

of others right behind with 15, giving them an offense that can’t be contained by shutting down one line, something that will prove valuable in the spring and the playoffs. Brady Norrish has led all defensemen in points for the Terriers this year with 21 and is a huge feature on the powerplay. Being in first place with twenty games left in the regular season has the Terriers heading into January/February with serious momentum and the goal of first place in the league and home ice advantage will be the focus going forward. Cassan feels good going into the break, “We have some good momentum going into the break and it is nice for the guys to get home to see their friends and families and heal some injuries so going forward we will be focusing on getting guys healthy and continuing the desire for success and keep working hard on and off the ice to prepare for playoffs.” Of the Terriers final twenty games, six will be against Notre Dame and Melville who are chasing them in the Sherwood Division. The Terriers final two meetings with the Mils will be December 30, and New Years Day while four meetings with the Hounds are on the horizon after an intense game at the FAA before the break that evened their season series at a win a piece. The Terriers will travel to Wilcox to face

the Hounds on January 8 and 19 and host the Hounds February 1 and 13 to wrap up a season series that will likely feature the key games needed for the Terriers to secure home ice advantage. The Terriers will start their post Christmas schedule with their longest road trip of the year as a three game Northern road trip to Wilcox, La Ronge and Nipawin will see the Terriers away from the FAA for thirteen days. Another three game road trip will consist of three of the Terriers final four games they head to Flin flon, Melfort and Nipawin before ending the regular season off on February 24 against the Battlefords Stars. An even ten home and away games in the final twenty games will see the Terriers attempt to hold onto their four point lead atop the Sherwood and clinch the all important home ice advantage, but for now the Terriers are going to enjoy Christmas holidays atop the SJHL. After last year’s early exit, there will be no complaints. The next twenty games will determine a lot, but one thing is for certain. As long as the Terriers stay healthy, they will be in the playoffs, and they will be ready to contend. With a balanced team and veteran players all around, it is hard to argue that the Terriers aren’t the favorites at the Christmas break.

Ruttig’s Rants: 2012 Christmas Edition It is the holiday season and the year is coming to an end. It has been a year filled with everything from triumph, to tragedy and anything in between. So because I am lazy and really needed a quick column idea this week I give you the 2012 Christmas Edition of Ruttig’s Rants, a year in review if you will. Local Sports Story of the Year: Obviously Jarrett Stoll winning the Stanley Cup with the LA Kings is a no brainer for this award. Runner ups go to the YRHS Sr. Basketball and Football teams for their lengthy runs in the provincial playoffs with the basketball side finishing third and the football team losing in the MJHSFL Championship, I am sure I am missing something in what was a good year for local sports, but those are my three.

National Sports Story of the Year: I hate to bring it up at Christmas time, but the NHL Lockout has invaded our newstreams and televisions so much that it has to be the story of the year for all the wrong reasons. Game of the Year: This one was hard to give out seeing as I watch a ton of sports and a lot gets me off my seat, but it would have to go to the Olympic Women’s Soccer Semifinal between the US and Canada. It had everything from Canada taking the lead again and again. The individual dominance of Christine Sinclair, whose three goals were the biggest of hat tricks, to the heartbreak of the nation on the controversial decisions given by the referee and the late extra time goal to pour salt in the wounds. Canada got

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig

jobbed, but the game was a rollercoaster on a August long weekend that captivated anyone in front of the television Scrooge of the Year: Gary Bettman. Who else? “Saint” of the Year: For the lack of a better term the opposite of the NHL story has been Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano and his fight with cancer during 2012. Pagano’s fighting spirit has inspired countless

of people and in a year with so many negatives, his has been a positive with his return to coaching Monday sure to bring smiles to many during the holiday season. Santa of the Year: This one goes to Toronto Blue Jays GM and Spellcheck Hall of Fame member Alex Anthopoulos for giving Toronto Blue Jays Fans so many early Christmas presents you might have to call it Hanukkah. Three

starting pitchers and two elite hitters come into a team that was on the brink of becoming a playoff team, Jays fans have no complaints with what was under their tree this year. Athlete of the Year: It won’t be the most popular pick due to soccer’s stigma in North America but Lionel Messi breaking the alltime record for goals in a single season with 90, (and still counting) can’t be matched by any athlete. Sure Usain Bolt’s Olympic run was great, but Messi dominated all 365 days of the 2012 calander and he is my choice for top athlete. Canadian Athlete of the Year: Another on pitch star gets the nod, and a female as Christine Sinclair stole all of the Olympic spotlight and vaulted Canada to a bronze and a hat trick in that instant classic

semifinal against the United States. Her post game comments after the controversy of the semifinal loss epitomized the Canadian spirit despite earning her punishment from FIFA, she truly was the highlight of the summer of 2012 and there is no other Canadian athlete who even came close in this discussion. The year 2012 will go down as a year of a lot of memories for myself and in Canadian sports. I started this job and this column on June first and have never looked back, there has been a Stanley Cup brought to Yorkton, an Olympics in London, a Riders playoff loss, and everything in between. I have enjoyed filling this page with my random thoughts for the past six or so months and look forward to more in 2013. Happy New Year!

Local runners go to Las Vegas By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Local runner Bernie Wlock recently organized a trip for a group of runners to take part in the Las Vegas Rock N Roll Marathon. A group of dedicated distance runners joined up to hit one of the biggest marathons Wlock has ever attended. “I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in as this was probably the largest marathon I have entered, there were thousands of people running and I was really impressed with how the marathon was organized,” said Wlock. The Rock N Roll Marathon Series has 29 stops all over the world and the

Las Vegas edition of the marathon series is one of the longest running in the United States with the Las Vegas Marathon being an event since 1967 before being introduced into the series in 2009. The race runs along the strip and throughout most of Las Vegas Boulevard as a half marathon and partners live music and bands with the sights of Las Vegas as its main attraction. Wlock was happy with how the event went and the group he organized and said he and other runners have plans to run around Canada and in Saskatchewan with Wlock planning on doing a 10k event in high altitude in Colorado as his next big running challenge.

Royal Ford gives back to YRHS By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer It’s a special time for Yorkton Regional High School and the Yorkton United FC Soccer Club. This week, Royal Ford presented the YRHS with a $1900 cheque, and the Yorkton United FC Soccer Club with a $2900 cheque. Royal Ford and Yorkton and area residents raised the funds at two recent test-drive events held over the summer and fall, as part of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited’s Drive One 4 UR School/Community

program. The YUFC held a mini soccer festival in the summer to kick off its 2012 season and had their Test Drive promotion on that day with all teams from every age level participating and bringing in parents and fans to come test drive new Ford vehicles as part of the promotion. The Drive One 4UR Your School/ Community program is an innovative program launched by Ford. A vehicle at the Yorkton United FC Soccer event this fall, For each vehicle driven at the event Ford donates $20 to the

community program that is a part of the fundraiser. At the YUFC event ninety people drove vehicles which raised roughly $1900 for the club which helps in paying for equipment, uniforms, and league operating costs. The YRHS event saw roughly 190 people drive vehicles raising an extra $1000 for the school and the money will go to extra-curricular activities and programs for the local high school. “This is such a great program, because it really allows us to help community groups raise
