APARTMENT FIRE – A fire ripped through Yorkton Manor at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. The apartment building, built in the former hospital, had 80 units. There are not currently any reports of injuries or fatalities, but the fire department has not been able to access the building fully due to flare ups. Any residents that have been displaced by this fire can contact the Canadian Red Cross at 1-888-800-6493 for food, clothing, and shelter for the first 72 hours. The Red Cross is already assisting six families affected by the fire. The average cost of a response for a family of four is $2,000, those who wish to donate can visit the local Red Cross office or call 1-800-418-1111. The Salvation Army is also ready to help those affected by the fire, and says those who are affected can visit the Thrift Store at 20 Betts Ave. Photo courtesy of Peter Baran Photography.

Sunrise Health and Wellness Centre opens By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A new option is now available for people who need heath care in the region. The Sunrise Health and Wellness Centre takes a different approach to healthcare, working on a collaborative model which brings together people

with different specialties to help work with a patient under one roof. The center will focus on patients with chronic conditions, women’s wellness services and general health needs. The clinic is built on a collaborative model, with physician and nurse practitioner services, diabetes educa-

tion, exercise therapy, pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation and a range of women’s wellness services offered. Instead of having dedicated offices for care providers, they move to different rooms as needed, and patients are able to handle their different medical needs in one location, with

one appointment, with all of their care providers collaborating. Dr. Phillip Fourie has been working on the concept of the clinic for several years, getting multiple providers under one roof to improve patient care. The opening of the clinic is not the goal, he says, but a major mile-

stone in improving the care delivery in the health region. “We can’t end here just with this innovation site, what we have is an opportunity for now is to use what we learn from this facility and use it in other facilities in this region.” The project was built on a collaborative

model, bringing together care providers and patient representatives through the design process to put the clinic together. “This project absolutely demonstrated that you can’t do anything on your own. With a team effort you

Sod officially turns on Fromm Manor By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Ground has officially broke on Fromm Manor, a new housing project to assist people with special needs. The building, which will consist of 11 bachelor-style suites, is being built in collaboration with the federal and provincial governments. Les Arnelien with the Yorkton Housing Corporation says that Fromm Manor began due to a housing needs assessment, which indicated that there was a major need for housing for people with special needs and disabilities in the city, Fromm Manor being designed specifically to meet these needs. There will be some eligibility requirements which need to be met before someone can

become a resident of the new building. They must be single and 18 years of age or over, be on Social Assistance or Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID), have a trustee with local support through the SIGN Trustee Program or government trustee program, have assistance with their household through one of the residential support programs such as SIGN or YAIL harbour and must have two or more of the following conditions: A mental health condition and/or cognitive disability, physical disability and cannot secure appropriate market based accommodation or experience difficulty maintaining market-based rental accommodations. Approved applicants will be point rated based on need, with preference

given to those living at risk. The project will cost $1,660,092, with the Government of Canada through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the province of Saskatchewan, through Sask Housing providing a 70 per cent capital assistance in the form of a forgivable loan of $1,162,064. Fromm Manor is named after Brian Fromm, former mayor and long-time city councillor until his death in 2002. Arnelien says that Fromm was a big reason why he is on city council now, and he says that the city can be proud to be honouring one of their own with the name. The building, located on 34 Tupper Ave., is scheduled be complete on July 15, 2015.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS on Fromm Manor, a new building project to provide homes for people with special needs in the city of Yorkton. Pictured are Mayor Bob Maloney, councillor and chair of Yorkton Housing Corporation Les Arnelien, Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit, Yorkton-Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz, and Fromm Family Members Krystal Morrison & Karen Buzinski.

Health and Wellness Centre opens Continued from Page 1A get such a better product, the same thing goes for health care delivery. When you have team delivered care, you have a much better product than what you can get on your own,” Fourie says. The collaborative process extends to another project Fourie

demonstrated at the grand opening, that being a move to a one patient, one record system for health charts. Fourie says that Sunrise has an opportunity to lead the charge in the province’s plan to have patient records shared between different health services throughout Saskatchewan, and they are currently

working to connect the different health care facilities within the region to make the records universal throughout. Health Minister Dustan Duncan likes what he sees at the new facility, from the design of the building to the concepts behind the care. He says it’s clear patients were the prior-

ity of the building, from the design of the physical structure to the model of care being developed. He says he can see other communities learning from Yorkton. “I think in terms of the model of care here, it is certainly one that could be replicated in other locations across this province.”

TRAINING EXERCISE – Yorkton Fire Protective Services is upgrading their skills, hosting an Emergency Medical Responder course with the Parkland College and St. John’s Ambulance. Deputy Fire Chief Greg Litvanyi says that the goal of the program is to upgrade members’ medical skills, with the entire department expected to go through the course by July. With the increased skills, Litvanyi says members will be better equipped to serve people in the city during emergencies. Two scenarios were staged, a heart attack and a car accident, with a retired fireman and high school students acting the role of the victims.

Police focus on impaired driving

The traffic safety spotlight for December is impaired driving. Law enforcement across the province will be increasing resources and paying extra attention to drivers impaired by either alcohol or other drugs. “The holidays are almost here and people will be getting together with friends, families and co-workers to celebrate the festive season,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “It’s important to plan for a safe ride home if you will be drinking alcohol this holiday season to ensure not only your own safety, but that of others sharing the road.” Impaired driving

remains a top contributing factor in fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. In 2013, it was the number one killer on our roads – 29% of all fatalities were alcohol or drug-related. During the holiday season alone (Dec. 1, 2013 to Jan. 3, 2014*), there were 109 alcohol/drug-involved collisions province-wide, resulting in 39 injuries. There are many options to get home safely: choose a designated driver in advance, call a cab, call a friend or family member to pick you up, use a designated driving service, take the bus or call Operation Red Nose in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and The Battlefords. SGI also has a free

SafeRide app to help you keep track of your options. Earlier this year, SGI implemented several recommendations made by the all-party Special Committee on Traffic Safety to make our roads

and highways safer. Saskatchewan now has tougher penalties for driving while impaired by alcohol or other drugs, including: •Zero drug and alcohol tolerance for drivers under 19 years of age, and for all

istrative sanctions for drinking and driving, based on driver experience and number of offences, including mandatory ignition interlock for convicted impaired drivers and immediate roadside vehicle seizures.

Don’t forget to tackle debt Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver had some welcome news during the release of the fall fiscal update: Canada’s federal deficit is projected to finally be eliminated next year. With a surplus now expected for 201516 and an election under a year away, the political battle lines have started to be drawn. The government is promising tax breaks, mainly in the form of income splitting for families, as well as direct payments to families with children. The NDP is countering with an expensive new national childcare program, modeled after the failing Quebec system. It is normal and healthy in politics for there to be a difference of opinion about which direction the government should go. Contrasting policies gives Canadians clearer choices about how to cast a ballot come Election Day. Oddly enough though, there’s one big issue – massive in fact – that doesn’t seem to be a big part of the discussion. It’s our federal debt. You may be surprised to hear Canada’s federal debt alone (which doesn’t count any provincial or municipal debt) is currently at around $613 billion. That’s an increase of $154 billion since 2008, when the government made the unfortunate decision to plunge us into deficit in the name of fighting the recession. Canada’s debt is more than double the amount of all the money the federal government spends in a single year. Six years later, the light is at the end of the tunnel, and we’re close to being able to say we are no longer adding any new charges to the national credit card. Great news – except that doesn’t change the fact we’ve still got an eye-watering balance of $613 billion to pay off, which is racking up interest by the minute. Thankfully, interest rates are low for the moment, but even now it costs more than $28 billion a year to service our debt. That’s $28 billion that could have been spent on other things important to Canadians. It is a strange irony that the same politicians, who often talk about the need to invest in government programs, or to protect the environment, justify their policies as benefitting “future generations,” and yet they have little to say about our public debt load. They speak about fighting unfairness and injustice – but not when it comes to the unfairness and injustice of future generations being stuck with the bills being run up by those of us consuming today. The government, to their credit, has made some positive statements about reducing the federal debt; by pledging to get it down to below 25 per cent of our GDP by 2021 (it currently stands at around 32 per cent). This isn’t good enough. Arguably, these targets could be met by modest growth in the economy, without one red cent going towards debt repayment. The more aggressively we tackle the debt, the more money we free up for other things. There is no hiding from the elephant in the room. Whatever direction future governments decide to take, the size of our debt will affect their ability to pay for government services. Over the next year, the public should demand all parties come clean about what their plans are to tackle our debt. The well-being of future generations depends on it. Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Less tax revenue for province The Saskatchewan government maintains that their proposed privatization of the province’s liquor retailing system will not result in diminished government revenues. However, a new joint study by Alberta’s Parkland Institute and the Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives demonstrates that even with the existing mark-up and taxation regime in place, the government stands to lose millions in potential revenue under a privatized liquor system. A Profitable Brew: A Financial Analysis of the SLGA and its Potential Privatization by Looking at just the last five years, if the SLGA had earned the same Return on Investment (ROI) that Alberta’s private system provides the AGLC, Saskatchewan would have forgone more than a quarter of a billion dollars in lost government revenue. If the four private liquor stores in Saskatoon and Regina have comparable sales revenue to the urban-based SLGA stores, SLGA will forego annual profits of between $3.5 million to $7.5 million. Because the majority of high-value urban SLGA stores are leased rather than owned, the potential proceeds from any asset sale would be negligible. The five most valuable SLGA properties in urban centres have an assessed market value of less than $5.5 million - less than 0.2% of the province’s forecasted core debt at the end of the fiscal year. Only a handful of private retailers, operating in the major cities, would achieve the profits necessary to pay the province’s 12% corporate income tax rate. The majority of private stores would only be subject to the 2% small busi-

ness tax rate. The four recently privatized rural liquor stores had not been costing the SLGA money. Each store earned more in sales revenue than it cost the SLGA to stock the shelves and operate the stores. These four stores earned the SLGA $4.36 million over the last five fiscal years. The Langenburg, Ituna and Kerrobert stores each netted over a million dollars each over that time period. Any financial gains Alberta initially accrued from freeing itself of managing their retail stores was quickly evaporated and reversed when the increased complexity and need to appease the new private liquor industry meant higher wholesaling costs. Given the superior profitability of the current public system and the potential loss of revenue that privatization could bring, the report recommends the following: 1) Maintain public ownership of an integrated wholesale and retail liquor distribution system; 2) Do not license any more private retail stores, and task the SLGA with studying the financial implications of purchasing the four private retail stores already operating in the province; 3) Allow the SLGA to expand its network of retail stores in a way that balances its objectives of fiscal stewardship, and social responsibility. This will require the Treasury Board to leave the SLGA with the necessary retained earnings to fulfill a long-term capital plan.

Online harassment is the easiest form of violence It is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women on December 6, and as a day it’s important to remember that violence against women is something that still happens on a daily basis. It’s also important to realize that violence is taking constant, shifting forms, especially in the information age. Right now there is even a group doing organized harassment campaigns against women online, purely because the women in question are trying to become a new voice in the game industry. They call themselves “GamerGate,” they pretend that their agenda involves “ethics in game journalism.” What they actually do is harass women, to the point where some have felt unsafe in their homes, have had to cancel speaking engagements due to threats of terrorism and have seen private information posted online for others to see. You can immediately tell that the “ethics in game journalism” credo is misleading because none of the women in question are actually journalists. Zoe Quinn, the first target of the group, is known primarily for making a game called Depression Quest. Brianna Wu, who just last night was harassed as she mourned the loss of her dog, to the point where some people in the movement suggested going after her vet, is a game developer as

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger well. Anita Sarkeesian, a woman who had to cancel her speaking engagements due to bomb threats, is not a developer, she describes herself as a media critic, and drew the ire of the group for suggesting that games have problems depicting women. These prominent targets of the group are not game journalists, though they work within the industry, so the stated mission mandate of focusing on ethics in game journalism rings false. Instead, this is an organized group which attacks women in order to shut their voices out of an industry. This is a new kind of violence, an organized harassment campaign that does not come with physical scars but mental ones. Their aim is to make

women lose their livelihood, feel unsafe in their homes and generally feel threatened. It’s an aggressive and sickening group of people, their attempts to tie it to any kind of ethics a way to put a public relations spin on a campaign of unbridled hate. I like games, they’re a fun hobby, especially in the winter months when one is forced to be a bit housebound. I like that more women want to be involved in the game industry, because in all entertainment a diverse array of voices means we get new content, new ideas and new perspectives, with variety making the experiences richer. I don’t like that it’s becoming more difficult to admit that I like games, because people like those who perpetrate “GamerGate” are painting people who play as a violent, misogynistic hate group. I just want to unwind after work, I don’t want to be seen as someone who hates people entirely because of their gender. Online harassment is uncharted waters, it’s a clear problem with no clear solution, as people take up a mask of anonymity to systematically abuse those with whom they disagree. Whether on a community level or an international problem like this, it’s something which is ruining lives and destroying relationships. As people, we have to find a way to stand against it.

Damage control over veterans

Veteran support timing questionable

To the Editor: Every Remembrance Day at memorial services across the country, the most emotional moment is when the “Veterans Company” marches past the cenotaph. Whether they are younger people who saw action just recently in places like Afghanistan or 90-year-olds who survived the WW2 or veterans of all the other campaigns in between, they provoke spontaneous respect and admiration. They are, after all, genuine heroes. The crowds break into loud and sustained applause. Within our free society, we can and do have vigorous disputes about the foreign and defence policy issues that resulted in all these valiant Canadians being sent into harm’s way in various theatres of war down through the years. Such debate is what a democracy is all about that’s what our Canadian Forces go to fight for. But all such arguments aside, once our troops are in the heat of battle, all Canadians pray for their safety, marvel at their

skill and courage, mourn their losses and anxiously await their return. We all know we have a sacred covenant to honour in the aftermath of war. On this latter point, among the public, there is no disagreement whatsoever. Our returning military personnel and veterans have stood ready to give their all, and when they come home, their country must “stand ready” for them - to meet their social, economic, physical and psychological needs. All Canadians expect their government to respond with gratitude and generosity. That’s why it’s so difficult to fathom the bizarre on-going misbehaviour of Stephen Harper’s Veterans Affairs Minister, Julian Fantino. His antics, including several personally insulting encounters with veterans and their families, are a major drag on the government’s credibility. Most recently, Mr. Fantino couldn’t justify his department’s failure to utilize more than $1.1-billion which Parliament had expressly approved for programs and services for

veterans. For all the government’s loud budget promises, the money never got out the door. In Finance department language, that $1.1-billion “lapsed”. The hapless Mr. Fantino seems to think he still has access to it, but he doesn’t. Lapsed funds from all departments go back into the central treasury and are largely applied at year-end against the government’s deficit. In other words - by accident, design or incompetence - the money was used to help balance the books. Think what might have been accomplished for returning soldiers and veterans if these funds had been utilized as Parliament intended. The nine offices providing specialized services to veterans across the country might not have closed. Financial assistance for dignified funerals might have been provided to the families of thousands of deceased Vets who were denied such help. Veterans’ health insurance premiums perhaps didn’t need to double. Pensions could have been improved. The Veterans

Independence Program might have been enhanced. Some returning soldiers might not have been discharged just before they could qualify for benefits. A vigorous effort to detect and deal pro-actively with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder could have been launched years ago. Instead, yesterday, just before the Auditor General is due to publish a critique of his performance, Mr. Fantino announced a small mental health initiative representing only a fraction of his lapsed funding. It’s obviously a lastminute manoeuvre to deflect the flak he is getting. One leading advocate for veterans, Michael Blais, called the initiative “damage control” in the “toxic” relationship Mr. Fantino has created. Former Veterans Ombudsman Pat Stogran dismissed it as more “rhetoric” and “empty promises”, not really worth listening to. Mr. Harper and his Minister have a big credibility problem. Ralph Goodale Member of Parliament for Wascana

Driving high is still illegal To the Editor: December 1 to 7 is National Safe Driving Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding Canadians that it’s not just alcohol that impairs. Driving is such a daily activity, we can easily forget that it’s a complex task requiring skill, concentration and alertness. In the rush from Point A to Point B, we may not always be mindful of the responsibility involved in piloting two tons of moving steel, glass and plastic. Given the potentially deadly consequences of doing a poor job, doesn’t it make sense to bring your best self to the task? By now, we all know that drinking and driving is a bad idea. But what about drugs and driving? Let’s focus on the effects of weed (marijuana or cannabis) because it’s one of the most common illicit drugs found in drivers after a deadly crash. You might think: “Smoking weed helps me concentrate. Plus, I drive slower. Doesn’t that make me a better driver?” The truth is any safety benefit you might get from driving slower is more than outweighed by the additional risk of slower reaction times, foggier thinking, and altered time perception you experience when high on weed. “I just had a little to drink and

a couple puffs. I feel fine to drive.” The reality is alcohol has a “multiplicative” effect on other drugs. That means having a drink if you’ve also had some weed results in far greater impairments than taking either alone. So even if you haven’t consumed enough liquor to blow over at a Checkstop, if you’ve got weed in the system, your driving will be as bad as someone who has had far more to drink. Drivers who are high on marijuana tend to compensate by driving more slowly and leaving more follow distance. This behaviour disappears when the driver has a drink, because alcohol makes them feel less impaired even though they are more impaired. If you have taken weed and alcohol, just don’t drive. “I really don’t feel that toking and driving is as bad as drinking and driving.” Eating a Sloppy Joe while driving might be safer than texting and driving, but ultimately, they’re both dangerous. The same goes with drug-impaired driving and drunk driving. They’re both risky behaviours that significantly increase the chances of the story ending badly. Drug Impaired Driving and the Law It’s illegal to operate a motorized vehicle if your ability to drive

is impaired by alcohol or drugs, whether illegal or legal drugs, prescription or over-the-counter. That vehicle could be a car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile or boat, and it doesn’t even have to be moving – you could be charged under the Criminal Code if you’re the one with the keys behind the wheel. If a police officer suspects you of having taken drugs, or a combination of alcohol and drugs, you could be required to undergo testing to determine if you are impaired. Failure to comply with the request for testing results in charges similar to alcohol-impaired driving. In addition to criminal charges, drug-impaired drivers also face penalties that vary by province, and the type of licence the driver holds. These penalties include immediate roadside suspensions, impounding of the vehicle, loss of your licence and steep fines. Don’t drive impaired • Plan ahead. Have a designated driver, arrange a ride in advance, or call a cab. • Socialize responsibly. • Before getting behind the wheel, ask yourself: “Am I safe to drive?” It’s not just alcohol that can impair your ability to drive. • Friends don’t let friends drive impaired - have the conversation that could save a life. Canada Safety Council

Cutbacks causing more recalls To the Editor: Once again, Canadians are digging into their freezers and throwing out meat, this time due to a possible E. coli contamination affecting meat sold in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. “New Democrats believe Canadians deserve better – food safety needs

to be a priority for this government,” said NDP Health Critic Libby Davies (Vancouver East). “Recalls like this undermine confidence in our food supply and put Canadians at risk.” Since 2011, we’ve seen hundreds of positions cut from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and spending on the Agency cut by tens of mil-

lions. Due to privatization and cuts, inspectors now look at paperwork instead of food. “We need to ask – why are the Conservatives hell-bent on leading us down this path? They’ve been starving the CFIA and making it ineffective – they now focus more on recalls than on the prevention measures that would stop problems

before they turn into food recalls,” said NDP Agriculture Critic Malcolm Allen (Welland) New Democrats are calling for an immediate independent audit of CFIA resources, addressing the adequacy of staffing levels and inspection processes. Robin Steudel, Press Secretary, Federal New Democrat Party

To the Editor: The federal government’s decision to invest $200 million more in mental healthcare for Canada’s veterans is tacit admission that the Conservatives have been giving this distinguished group short shrift until now. Why the sudden change of heart? The need for more effort is hard to deny when you consider that 128 members of the regular forces and 32 reservists have committed suicide in the past decade, according to statistics from the military. But it’s not just soldier and ex-soldiers who have chosen to take their own lives. It is also those who labour on with deep emotional wounds. A Statistics Canada survey released in September suggested that nearly one in six full-time members of the Canadian Forces experienced symptoms of mental health or alcohol-related disorders over several months in 2013. Of the 6,700 full-time members of the Canadian Forces surveyed from April to August 2013, the most common disorder reported was a major depressive episode, with 8 per cent of full-time members reporting symptoms in the 12 months prior to the survey. The government’s announcement of new funding came as a bit of surprise to me because it came shortly after I received a note from a Calgary MP, taking me to task for a column I wrote back in February. I wrote then, in part: For years now, our soldiers have been getting shoddy treatment from the country that asked them to put their lives on the line. Those who served in the Second World War or the Korean conflict are getting near to the end of their days. Younger soldiers who saw action in Kandahar are just now dealing with lives of pain and mental anguish that have driven too many of them to suicide.” I didn’t hear from the feds until Nov. 22, when I received a polite by pointed email from the MP, who in a past life was a professional associate of mine. Expressing disappointment in my comments, the MP wrote: “In fact there are more mental health programs for members and veterans of the military than there have ever been before in Canadian history and Canada has among the best programs in all of NATO.” It certainly did not appear than any changes were imminent. Did someone get their wires crossed? One day after I got that email, however, the federal government announced its $200-million program. “More must be done to combat mental illness in support of the Canadian Forces,” explained Defence Minister Rob Nicholson. An additional $16.7 million in funds will be available to support members of the Forces, veterans and their families. The MP who wrote me alleged that the severity of the suicide problem is exaggerated by the media practice of not reporting on suicides among the general public, while widely reporting on most military suicides. “This creates a false perception that suicides are a problem only in the military and does those in the military a great disservice. There is no question that suicides are a serious problem in the general population. There are about 3,500 suicides per year, according to a 2011 study. But the theory of media exaggeration of the military problem is challenged by data compiled by Statistics Canada. Those data show the rate of suicide in former military personnel was 46 per cent higher for males and 32 per cent higher for females than in the civilian population. It’s been widely reported that many veterans are not impressed with the feds. And then Veterans Affairs suffered another black eye this week when Auditor General Michael Ferguson issued a damning report. He found there are too many barriers to veterans getting mental-health services and benefits. The application process is too complex, he said, and that causes delays in getting their records from the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces. All these statistics confirm what veterans already know - they haven’t been getting the support they need. This week’s announcement is a welcome change, but it also feels a bit like a government making a last minute effort to shore up its tarnished image before it goes to polls in the new year. It’s hard to imagine that these gestures will turn the tide. Bitter veterans have had to wait too long .

Strengthening our ties with China

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Government of Canada has been able to secure a number of important gains in our efforts to strengthen Canada-China relations. For example, we secured the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement — something Canada has sought for nearly two decades. This important protection agreement gives Canadian investors increased protection when conducting business in China, allowing them to invest their money safely. It also includes a mostfavoured-nation commitment that protects Canadian investors

against discrimination in China. And, we reached an agreement giving Canada “Approved Destination Status” for Chinese tourists. Since 2009, Chinese tourism to Canada has skyrocketed, supporting jobs across the country. But there is still more work to be done, and our government remains committed to building even stronger ties. During his most recent official visit to China, Prime Minister Stephen Harper helped deliver on that commitment with a series of initiatives that will help increase Canada’s trade in the region. This includes the

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz increased use of China’s currency — the renminbi — in trade, commerce and investment between our two countries. This will help establish North America’s first offshore renminbi centre in Canada, leading to increased economic opportunities for Canadian businesses.

While in Beijing, the Prime Minister also oversaw a series of commercial signings between

Canadian and Chinese firms. Together, these signings are expected to create more than 2,000 jobs in Canada. And, while in Hangzhou, the Prime Minister announced that Canada will open new trade offices in two of the fastest growing regions of China — the cities of Hangzhou, Xi’an, Xiamen and Tianjin. This will help Canadian businesses flourish and bring Canada’s trade network to a total of 15 locations

across the country. By expanding trade with China, the federal government is helping boost Canada’s economy in sectors such as agriculture, natural resources, energy and transportation. Canadians can count on our government to continue engaging countries abroad in order to help increase economic opportunities and support job creation here at home.

Laws set to protect health records

Health Minister Dustin Duncan recently introduced legislative amendments that will strengthen the protection of personal health records and increase the accountability of trustees and employees in protecting those records. Trustees are individuals and organizations that have personal health information under their custody and control. These amendments result from government’s support of recommendations from the Health Records Protection Working Group. The group’s report, released in April 2014, included recommended changes to The Health Information Protection Act (HIPA) to help enforce trustees’ responsibilities under the Act, to address possible gaps in the legislation, and to put a system in place to deal with the discovery of unsecured records. Amendments to HIPA

include: Strict liability offence: If records are found unsecured, the trustee responsible for the records would need to show they took all reasonable steps to prevent the abandonment. Sometimes called the “reverse onus” clause, this change will forgo a need to prove the trustee intended to abandon the records. Individual offence for willful disclosure of personal information: This change will make it clear that HIPA offences for intentional disclosure of personal health information apply not only to trustees, but to individuals who are employees of trustees. Snooping offence: A specific offence will be established for inappropriate use of personal health information by employees who access information without a need for that information.

Take control of abandoned records: A specific provision will be added to HIPA for a system to be put in place to quickly respond to a discovery of abandoned or unsecured records and to take control of the records. The government will examine the remaining recommendations made by the Health Records Protection Working Group, including creating a single repository for abandoned records, making private record storage solutions available and clarifying the definition of “trustee” for physician practice arrangements. The working group included members from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Saskatchewan Medical Association, College of Pharmacists, Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association, a patient representative, and the Ministries of Justice and Health.

CLOSE CUT – It’s a donation that was four years in the making, as Lidia Flores, special care nurse at the Yorkton Nursing Home, donated her hair to Braden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer, raising over $600 for cancer research. Flores has been involved in the charity since her own children went to school with Ottenbreit, but this year is making her donation in the honour Wilma Liebrecht, who is currently fighting cancer, and is supporting her friend and coworker as she knows she is going through a difficult time. Flores says that her entire family supports the charity, and she’s going to start growing again for the next donation.

Parks gearing up for 2015

Though winter has settled in across the province, Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are already looking ahead to the 2015 parks season. “Saskatchewan’s provincial parks continue to be incredibly popular tourism destinations,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “Demand for our provincial parks continues to increase and we are always looking for ways to enhance our visitor experience.” One of the most popular programs available each summer is the seasonal camping program. Seasonal camping offers the opportunity to secure a campsite from mid-May to the end of September. These campsites are offered at a discount from the regular nightly camping rate and are always in high demand. There are 21 provincial parks and recreation sites that offer the seasonal camping program, and due to its popularity, campsites are allocated via a lottery system. The application forms for seasonal

campsites will be available online at www.saskparks.net beginning Monday, January 5, 2015. The deadline for applications is Thursday, January 29, 2015, and the draw to award the campsites will be Monday, February 2, 2015. Nightly camping reservations will be available for booking beginning the first week of March. As in past years, there will be a staggered launch, with different parks available on different days. Campers can expect the launch to be spread out over more days than it has been in the past, with fewer parks becoming available for reservation each day. More information about the nightly camping reservation launch will be available in the new year. The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the value and importance of Saskatchewan’s provincial parks and continues to invest in them. The 201415 Budget increased funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent and capital investments will total a record $14.9 million this year.

Do your part to stop wildlife trafficking

Social media, online game meat ads and exotic pets don’t seem to have a lot in common. But in Saskatchewan and many other jurisdictions across the country, they’re adding up to a serious problem of wildlife trafficking and social media scams. “We encounter these online advertisements daily,” says Bill Bone, conservation officer and senior investigator with the Ministry of Environment. “It’s a fairly significant problem across the province. What we are generally finding on there is dried meat, or meat for sale from fish and animals like deer, elk and moose.” The selling and buying of wild game meat constitutes trafficking in wildlife, and is prohibited under Saskatchewan laws. For wild game or fish taken under a sport licence, the meat can never be sold. However, antlers or mounts of an animal or fish taken under a sport licence can be sold under a special permit. “If someone posts something for sale and they either can’t get a permit or don’t list the permit, we look at the information and see if they have been warned before,” Bone explains. “Most of the time it’s someone who doesn’t know that what they are doing is illegal. We will contact them and let them know what they are doing is illegal and ask them to remove it from the site. They are also informed that this has been noted by the ministry and further sale or advertisements of this nature may result in charges.” In most cases, the ads are pulled right away. In

some cases, people will respond by asking the ministry what they need to do in order to comply with provincial laws. Legitimate sellers require permits to advertise, sell, barter, or trade in fish and wildlife, which can be obtained from a ministry office. These types of advertisements are often found on Kijiji or Facebook buy-andsell pages. “Facebook is a different beast,” says Bone. “Those types of selling pages can be set up as an open group, which anyone can view, or it can be a closed group with administrator access. Any type of meat product is something to watch out for. This is not allowed, even if it has been taken under Aboriginal harvesting rights.” Aboriginal people can only hunt and use animal parts for themselves and their immediate families and are not permitted to sell it. This includes antlers and mounts. For other individuals to sell a mount, they need a permit and have to show that it was lawfully taken under a sporting licence. If they can’t do that and there

is no way of proving it was taken under a sporting licence, then a permit could be obtained to keep the mount in their household. But the mount can’t be offered for sale because it can’t be proven that it was taken lawfully. “There are hundreds of these online buy-and-sell sites in the province,” says Bone. “We can’t be everywhere, but we are keeping tabs on what is going on.” These sites can also be monitored by enforcement agencies across the country. In some of these instances, conservation officers will contact the page administrator and ask them to post a message from the ministry stating the legal issue at hand. If the individual posting the advertisement has been warned before, it may result in further scrutiny and charges. Commercial fishermen are allowed to sell to the public, but they also have rules they must follow, such as recording the sale. This includes fish peddlers. “So if you are buying fish from someone, they are required to give you a

receipt,” Bone says. “Not giving you a receipt means that something may be wrong.” The ministry’s investigators also run into a lot of social media ads for exotic pets such as snakes and monkeys. Constrictors or venomous snakes are illegal to own in Saskatchewan, while monkey ads are just completely fraudulent. These operators are very

sophisticated. They have phony websites set up to track your purchase and they are difficult to bring to justice. “We have investigated a number of these ads and we know of people who have bought into that scam,” Bone notes. “They lose their money and their monkey never shows up, which they can’t legally have in Saskatchewan anyway.

If you come across one of these advertisements, let your local conservation officer know. Contact the Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for SaskTel cellular subscribers. You can also report a violation online at saskatchewan.ca/conservation. SWNA Feature

CUPW tries to save door-to-door delivery By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Canada Post’s plan to cut door-to-door service will reach Yorkton in the fall of next year, but the Canadian Union of Postal Workers hopes that they can put enough pressure on the government to change their direction. They recently held a town hall meeting to talk to concerned citizens about community mailboxes and put pressure on the government and Canada Post to reverse their plans. Gord Fisher, National Director for the CUPW Prairie Region, says that they hope they can turn the tide on the changes to Canada Post, and he believes people do not want to see the service cut. “Canada Post may have changes they need to make, but this shouldn’t be one of them, to deprive customers that need the service.” The main concern for the CUPW is the customers, though he recognizes that there will also be a reduction in the number of carriers in Yorkton, and Fisher predicts that the number of mail carriers in Yorkton will be halved once the changes are complete. There have been problems across the board with the community mailboxes as implemented, Fisher says, whether it’s the location selected, litter problems, issues with snow removal and a risk of mail theft. He says in BC there have already been many reports of theft, for example, and snow clearance issues have already become a major concern in commu-

nities such as Fort McMurray. “We can’t forget about the intangible things. For a person who is elderly, and may be fit and able to go to a group mailbox at this point in time, the fact is that if they’re living at home alone having someone come to the door every day is a measure of security for them. There’s numerous cases we know of where letter carriers have identified that there was a problem at a place because nobody was picking up the mail.” While Canada Post has said that the changes will be necessary for financial stability, Fisher says that the corporation has been profitable for the majority of the past 20 years, and also has been profitable so far in 2014, with the fourth quarter the corporation’s traditional high water mark. Fisher believes that the financial situation in 2014 proves that door-to-door is financially viable. “One of the reasons they were saying they are making these changes is they are projecting a $258 million deficit, that turned out to be a lie. They are probably more likely to make $200 million this year.” Fisher hopes that mail delivery becomes an election issue, and says that people who want to keep door-to-door need to make sure that their representatives know how they feel and how it will influence their vote in 2015. “To eliminate these types of services is just not something governments should be able to do and expect to be reelected.”

Nursing grads hold pinning ceremony Parkland College honoured the Practical Nursing Class of 2014 in a pinning ceremony Friday in Yorkton. The celebration is a traditional way of welcoming the class of 22 students into the nursing profession. “This is the 10th Practical Nursing class to graduate at Parkland College,” said Wendy Wilson, Post-Secondary Health Coordinator. “It takes a lot of dedication to reach this milestone, and we wish them the best as they begin their careers.”

Parkland College has been delivering the SaskPolytech (formerly SIAST) Practical Nursing program at its Yorkton campus since 1999. The two-year diploma includes more than 700 hours of theory and over 900 hours of clinical/lab instruction. Overall, Parkland College has now graduated more than 135 Practical Nurses. Every graduate has passed the licensing exam with marks exceeding the national average. “The Board and staff of Parkland College are

very proud of our graduates,” said President Dr. Fay Myers. “With the skills these students have, they will be of great value to health regions in our prov-

Nominee numbers increase

The Government of Saskatchewan will make important progress toward the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth goal of increasing the cap on provincial nominees through the S a s k a t c h e w a n Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). The provincial immigrant nominee cap that is set by the federal government will increase to 5,500 nominations in 2015 – a 16 per cent increase over 2014. The 775 additional nominations will help address current labour market shortages and will be made through the SINP’s new Saskatchewan Express Entry category. The criteria for the new category will be announced January 2, 2015, in conjunction with the launch of the Government of Canada’s new Express Entry application system. The SINP will begin to accept applications under the category in early 2015. “We expect this new category to provide significant benefits not only for highly-skilled immigrants to this province, but for our business community and our economy,” Minister responsible for Immigration Jeremy Harrison said. “The benefits include faster federal processing of permanent residence applications, and a new avenue for businesses looking to fill critical labour market shortages through the recruitment of foreign workers.” The Government of Canada’s new Express

Entry application system will enable the federal government to select candidates from a pool of immigrant candidates and invite them to apply for permanent residence. Through the Saskatchewan Express Entry category, prospective immigrants who have been accepted into the federal Express Entry pool can apply to the SINP for a provincial nomination. Those who obtain a nomination will receive additional Express Entry points in the ranking system, which will result in them getting an invitation to apply for permanent residency, provided federal processing targets have not been met. “Immigration continues to play a critical role in developing Saskatchewan’s labour market and keeping Saskatchewan strong,” Harrison said. “These nominees will have postsecondary education and high-skilled work experience, as well as other qualifications that will help them to successfully settle in and contribute to our communities.” It is expected that the 5,500 persons nominated in 2015 will result in approximately 14,000 new residents to the province when their spouses and children are accounted for. For more information on the Saskatchewan Express Entry criteria and application process, visit www.economy.gov. sk.ca/immigration/ express-entry.

ince.” The diploma prepares students to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), which are in high demand in the

health care system. Most graduates work in acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, medical centres, and extended care facilities. LPNs typically

work in an area of interest such as gerontology, maternal-child, medical, mental health, palliative, pediatric, rehabilitation, or surgical nursing.

Call Highway hotline for current updates Snow plow trucks and operators have already been out in full force to clear the way for drivers this winter. More than 300 snow plows are stationed across the province available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Saskatchewan’s highways are cleared on a priority system based on population centres and traffic volumes: Snow plows in operation create mini-bliz-

zards known as the Snow Zone. If you come upon a plow, slow down and let them clear the way. They will pull over to let vehicles pass roughly every 10 kilometres. It is illegal to pass a plow at more than 60 km/hr. Before heading out this winter, remember to check the Highway Hotline for the latest road information.

Unclaimed winnings in Saskatchewan

A Saskatchewan resident could be in for a welcome winter surprise – imagine checking a coat pocket to find a lottery ticket worth $1 million inside! That could happen to someone just in time for the holidays, as a LOTTO MAX lottery ticket that won $1 million last December 20 has yet to be claimed. “It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve heard of a player discovering a ticket they’ve stashed in a coat pocket or purse months before, only to find out it was a winner all along,” said Andrea Marantz, spokesperson

for Western Canada Lottery Corporation. The million-dollar winning selection is 9, 17, 20, 27, 36, 38 and 42. The selection was for one of 50 MAXMILLIONS prizes drawn that night – Friday, December 20, 2013. The lucky ticket was purchased somewhere in Saskatchewan, but not in Regina or Saskatoon. The lucky ticket holder has until Monday, December 22, 2014 to claim the prize, as December 20 falls on a Saturday this year. “Whenever possible, we like to see prizes claimed,” Marantz said. “We would love to see

someone come in with a winning ticket.” However, should the MAXMILLIONS prize go unclaimed, the prize will be returned to players through guaranteed jackpots and bonus draws as part of the national unclaimed prize fund. Players can check their tickets at any lottery retailer, including on the self-check Ticket Checker. The owner or owners of the $1 million winning ticket can call WCLC Customer Care at 1-800-665-3313 for information and to make arrangements to claim the prize.

Choose your volunteers wisely Ed, my neighbor next door, has lots to say to me privately because we live next door to each other, but he makes it a steadfast rule to avoid me in public. Ed and Ruby were seated at OSAC Concert Series when we arrived last Saturday night. We were far enough away that Ed could completely ignore me. Almost at the end of his performance, Norman Foote asked for a couple of men volunteers. He had done so well with audience participation until that point. The first volunteer from the audience was a bright, confident four-year-old little girl who sang the ABC song like a professional child-star. The second time a lady vol-

unteer sang wonderfully, “You Are My Sunshine.” The performer struck gold again the third time with an older girl volunteer who became a puppet that did movements to his song. If only he had left well enough alone. In the second half the concert I was a bit distracted trying to discretely eat the bowl of party mix on our table. Then out of the blue performer Foote asked for men volunteers and picked a guy at back. Unfortunately, he also asked me to come up as a volunteer. I should have refused. We men volunteers had to put a flower petal affair on our heads and were to dance as flowers. The

Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com other fellow was a good dancer and performer. I am not a good dancer, never have been, and the whole idea of dancing like a flower was pretty hard for my rusty old mind to assimilate. I know my attempts were pretty lame, and the performer had a look in his eyes like there is always one dud volunteer in every show. In the parking lot

after the show, Ed said to me, “You looked like a beached Walrus flapping its flippers on stage. For everybody’s sake never go up as a volunteer.” On stage, I knew that nothing could save me when the performer wanted me to dance. Norman Foote displayed a lot of talent and ability as a singer/ songwriter, comedian and puppeteer. I had no saving talent or abil-

ity for dancing. Thankfully, not being a dancer isn’t life threatening. Most folks know that a life jacket will save them if their boat does capsize. It isn’t the only thing that they can use to save themselves. Hanging on to any floating object in the water may mean the difference between life and death. Recently, there have been two interesting cases of Styrofoam coolers being used by two fishermen to keep them afloat until they could be rescued after their boats sank. Solano Salazar of

Columbia clung to his cooler for two days until being rescued. Mexican fisherman, Raymundo Rodriguez survived a week after his boat sunk. He had climbed into a giant Styrofoam cooler that he had on his ship for his catch. When it comes to your sins, many things will not save you. If you want to save your soul from your sins, there is only one life preserver, and that is Jesus Christ. He was born into this world, and offered himself up as our ransom. We need to cling fast to Christ until we are safe in heaven.

Camera installation crews will be working location by location to set up and test the cameras, from north to south in the following order: â&#x20AC;˘ Highway 12 at Martensville â&#x20AC;˘ Saskatoon locations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Circle Drive and selected school zones â&#x20AC;˘ Highway 1 east between the Pilot Butte turnoff and White City â&#x20AC;˘ Regina locations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ring Road and selected school zones â&#x20AC;˘ Moose Jaw school zones â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will notify the public once cameras are operational at these locations, which is anticipated early next week,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to know the cameras are live. Our goal with this pilot is zero tickets and zero crashes.â&#x20AC;? Once the cameras are operating, there will be a two-month warning period where drivers caught speeding will be mailed a warning instead of a ticket. Yellow informational signs will let drivers know they are approaching a photo-

speed-enforced zone. Black-and-white regulatory signs will also be posted within the zone. The photo speed enforcement pilot began on Nov. 14 in Moose Jaw, at the intersection of Highway 1 and 9th Ave. The first official numbers are for the four days between Nov. 23 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 26, where the camera recorded 10,177 vehicles going through the corridor of highway; of those, 586 were in excess of the posted 80 km/h speed limit and 300 were travelling 20 km/h or more over the speed limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The excessive speeds caught by the camera demonstrate why it is important to have an enforcement device on this extremely busy stretch of highway,â&#x20AC;? said Cartmell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Photo speed enforcement has been proven to calm traffic, reducing collisions and the related deaths and injuries. We anticipate that over time, as drivers become more aware and start receiving warning letters, they will slow down. If one life is saved, this program is worth it.â&#x20AC;? For more information about the two-year photo speed enforcement pilot, visit SGIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.sgi. sk.ca.

for results, please see the percentage breakdown above. The R.M plowed our driveway up to the overhead electrical line, so I have to clear the rest of the driveway and the yard with the tractor. It will be a cold experience, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure! I climbed up, started it up and let it warm up for 15 minutes. The 4020 has both a block heater, albeit magnetic, and a circulating heater so it was nicely pre-warmed. Then the fun started! Marion calls the 4020 my Tonka toy, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. I just feel like a little kid playing with my tractor. It took me a good two hours to clear the yard and make it easy to bring hay bales into the paddock. The back shed had to be accessible as well. The seat on the 4020 was a bit cold, I might have developed some polaroids! What is this?! I pushed the snow yesterday only to wake up to a 10cm snowfall warning! I bet there is a cruel little nerd sitting with his new electronic weather control gadget, watching me

pushing snow, only to arrange for another snow dump at very cold temperatures! If I can get my hands on that little nerd Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make him into a snowman and then use a hair dryer on him! However, if he is cold like a vampire, I must be careful so that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a frostbite! But if it snows it might be bit flakey. Minus 20 with a wind chill factor of minus 38 and pushing snow again! Brr! Well, it has to be done! Grin and bear it! The drive and the yard will be looking very much like Christmas with all this snow! I hope Santa Claus pays attention and sees that he can land his sleigh right by the front door, because our chimney is not big enough to accommodate the Jolly Old Elf! The advent has started and Christmas is just around the corner! Ah! Christmas, the time of year when many Norwegians tell a lie and say they enjoy Lutefisk! So I did some research and came up with this poem by Arthur C. Stavig, the famous Norwegian Poet from Puget Sound,

Washington:

DA BLUE-EYED LUTEFISK Last fall Ay bought a lutefisk Tovard Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mis time ay tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ink Dey wrap him opp and ay take him home Ay was shure a happy gink. Ven ay got him home, ay tal my vife â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vi vil celebrate tonight Ay bought da biggest fisk ay seen From da fishman on da Pike!â&#x20AC;? Den she say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell yew Ole Vil yew fix him for tew eat? I got so much tew do tewday Dat ay let yew fix da treat.â&#x20AC;? So ay grab a knife, for me to use To cut off da tail and head For da breadknife iss a handy tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ing To make shure dat he vas dead. Ven ay open da paper bag To take da lutefisk out Ay found he luke lak Onkel Knute

New 2015 Harley-Davidson

By da vay he hold his moutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hiss lip, it vore a great big lump Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ef he could spit some yuice Ay vould tink dat he vas schewing On som Copenhagen sneuse! Den a lump came opp intew my tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;roat Ven ay see hiss eyes of blue Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ay knew for me to hurt dat fisk Vas more dan ay could dew! He had soch nice anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friendly eyes Right avay, ay feel so blue Dey luke like dey var scholding me Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; da fisk vas crying tew! Ay yust couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use dat knife on him Ay feel as bad as ay can be Ay couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand tew see him cook Ven dose eyes vas vatching me! So da vife anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me ate can sardine Vich vas gude enough for me Ay gave da fisk tew a neighbor Svede Who vas blind and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see!

FRESH SNOW – With the snowfall on Sunday, November 23, Cindy Smith and Lana Sebastian could not resist the opportunity to get out on their skis. The Good Spirit Club had just spent the day clearing up dead fall and cattails and so it was clear trails ahead for these two. There is always a friendly competition as to who will be the first to ski out to the shelter and who is the last skier out. This is not the earliest ski recorded at Good Spirit but now that the snow has arrived the club hopes that the season will be milder than last winter and that the snow cover remains till early spring. – Submitted

Recovering flooded forage acres The last number of years have not been kind to perennial forage stands throughout many areas of the province. Excess moisture has resulted in water sitting in forage stands for prolonged periods of time and we have seen a significant amount of forage acres lost. Livestock and forage producers are now faced with the question What do I do with these acres to bring them back into production? This is not an easy answer and there are a number of factors that need to be considered before a decision is made. These include: 1) What is the size of the area affected? Is the area one large area or is it spread out in a series of potholes (0.25 to 1 acre) throughout the forage stand? 2) Is the area currently being used for hay or for pasture? Do you have the option of keeping livestock off the area as the forage re-establishes? 3) What forage species were present in the stand before the flooding? 4) Do you anticipate flooding again? 5) What type of soils are you dealing with? Is it good quality soil or is it subject to other factors such as salinity or crusting? When a large area is affected, it is often much easier to deal with than a number of smaller areas that are spread out. On large acreages, this can be addressed by killing the existing vegetation

and trying to establish species which are more adapted to the current conditions. If the area has dried considerably and you are able to get in with equipment, tillage or chemical control are both good options. If the area is still wet, it may be beneficial to wait until conditions are desirable for preparing a good seed bed and getting a good establishment. Late fall plantings are often the best time to establish forages in saline or wet soils when drier soils permit machinery to cross with minimal difficulty. Seeds will germinate early the following spring. Once established, perennial forages can have water-depleting characteristics which can be used to draw down the water table, leading to decreased soil salinity near the soil surface. For those areas where it is not feasible to go in with large equipment and re-seed, one strategy that can be used to suppress the foxtail barley and weeds is to smother the weeds and create a thatch layer with hay that has some mature seed set in it. This may be a good option when the area to be re-established is in a pasture and the non-affected acres are still needed as a grazing resource, or you don’t want to invest a lot purchasing forage seed. Winter feeding on these sites can also be an option, but careful consideration must be given to nutrient load-

ing, runoff, soil characteristics and the groundwater. Another strategy for re-establishing small areas of drowned out forages within a pasture situation is to broadcast seeds in the areas to be re-established and then allow hoof action to increase the seed to soil contact. While this strategy may require limited investment in terms of land preparation and seeding costs, it is likely to be less efficient in terms of the number of plants that actually establish for the amount of seed that is broadcast. This strategy on its own is not likely to address any foxtail barley or existing weeds issues. What we have seen in the last couple of years with these flooded forage acres, is not only an increase in soil moisture but also an increase in salinity. In some cases, this has created a shift in forage species to more moisture tolerant species such as timothy, alsike or red clover; or in cases where salinity has increased, the shift has been to quackgrass or more likely foxtail barley. The factor to keep in mind is that these flooded areas are often quite variable in terms of moisture and salinity gradients, and that a simple bromegrass-alfalfa blend that many producers use is not likely going to be well adapted to these areas. More complex blends that include species such as timothy, red or

alsike clover (moisture tolerance), wildryes, slender, pubescent or western wheatgrass (salinity tolerance) or tall fescue (moderate moisture and salinity tolerance) will ensure that the gradients of moisture and salinity are covered. It is still important to include some of the more common species, such as bromegrasses and alfal-

fa, to establish on the drier and less saline areas, however, they are not likely going to be as dominant in the seed blend. Bringing flooded forage acres back into production is not an easy task. Strategies that may work on one parcel of land may not work on another and the path to re-establishment is often one will

require a multitude of techniques. By Charlotte Ward, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture For more information on this or other forage related topics, please contact Charlotte Ward, Regional Forage Specialist in the Yorkton Regional Office, at 306-786-1608.

The cost of inspection will increase by $0.75 per animal to $2.75, while the cost of registering or renewing a brand will increase from $25 to $50 for a four-year registration and from $200 to $600 for a lifetime brand registration. A Livestock Dealer License will also increase from $100 to $200. “As an industry operated organization, LSS manages on a cost recovery basis,” LSS President Harold Martens said. “These increases are reflective of the cost of providing these services and will ensure LSS continues to offer services that are important to cattle producers.” “Brand inspectors play an important role in Saskatchewan’s livestock industry by helping verify ownership,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “These fee increases will ensure that LSS is able to provide effective brand inspection service and maintain a sustainable

organization into the future.” The decision to increase fees was passed by the LSS Board after industry consultation with the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders Association and Livestock Marketers of Saskatchewan. “As brand inspection is such an important process in the identification of ownership and sale of our livestock, we support the cost recovery of this process,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Paula Larson said. “Today’s prices make identification of ownership more important than ever, but today’s prices also make this increase an acceptable cost of doing business.” “Some might think that cattle theft is a thing of the wild west,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association President Doug Gillespie said. “But just recently the LSS has proven how important it is to have these services offered in Saskatchewan. Cattle are a rancher’s biggest asset and it is important that there is the ability to prove ownership to prevent theft.”
