Entertaining and educating by storytelling “When you go back to the traditional First Nations lifestyle, think of this place maybe 200 years ago. February travelling the plains of Saskatchewan was pretty darn cold! Our way of biding the time and giving the kids something to do, they spent a good deal of time in the tepee, telling stories.” The couple have been a number of area communities, including Sturgis, Pelly, Norquay and the Cote First Nation. He says that having a week like this is useful to give young people a way to understand First Nations culture and go beyond any stereotypes, while also bringing the message that all cultures need to be respected and celebrated. “I love how diverse the communities are, from having no aboriginal people to having a mix and being able to tell stories no matter who was there. The importance of respecting one another and respecting other cultures... That’s the one thing I enjoyed, to be able to meet all these young people and be proud of the fact that these young people are growing up with good knowledge of who we are.”

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton area has celebrated A b o r i g i n a l Storytelling Week this February, wrapping up with 90 kids gathering at the Yorkton Public Library to hear Lyle and Carol Daniels tell stories. Storytelling keeps a culture alive, Lyle Daniels explains, and while the stories are were meant to entertain, they were also meant to pass down useful information from one generation to the next, a long oral tradition that he believes is a big part of how people have been able to survive. “The whole reason why we’ve been here for thousands of years is that we’ve been able to take information from one generation to the next.” Having a dedicated time to have kids and listen to stories is something that they both enjoy, Daniels says, and is also something that can be rare as kids have so many electronic distractions in their lives now. “Just have them sit and listen to stories, but also have them learn something and have fun doing it. That’s the whole reason why we’re doing this all this week.” The month of February is an appropriate month for a sto-

Pigeon prevention procedures presented By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer There is a growing pigeon problem in Saskatchewan, and Yorkton is no exception, with birds increasingly becoming a concern for local businesses and residents. The Yorkton

Business Improvement District recently held an information meeting to discuss what options are available for controlling the pest bird. Richard Swallow, owner of Riva Specialized Cleaning Services and Pigeon Control, was invited

to speak on the services they offer to get pigeons out of a region. The business is focused on humane elimination of birds, using different devices to make a structure unappealing to birds. Riva is one of the few places in Saskatchewan who

offers the service. “It’s really understanding what the birds are doing and where they are in order to get away from that site. We implement the proper solutions.” The birds are an invasive species, and Swallow says that the

reasons to get rid of them are numerous, whether it’s safety issues caused by their waste, their destruction of property, or the respiratory diseases they can spread in an area, especially as they tend to enjoy being near HVAC units.

In Yorkton, one of the biggest problem areas is an abandoned building, where it is estimated at least 200 birds have taken up residence. Swallow says a building like this presents a challenge on two fronts. Continued on Page 3A

Farm incomes to remain high

After coming off of a record year, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is expecting farm incomes to remain high for Canadian farmers in 2015. The 2015 Canadian Agricultural Outlook was released today, pointing to a strong future for the agricultural sector. The report provides an overview of the current situation in Canadian agriculture and some of the key longer term drivers that will influence the growth of the sector.

Aggregate net cash income for 2014 is expected to reach $14.0 billion, 10 per cent above the 2013 record. For 2015, the preliminary forecasts suggest that farm incomes will remain historically high at $13.0 billion. The cattle and hog sectors enjoyed record prices in 2014 due to

Exhibit opens for the Canadian flag This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag. In recognition of that anniversary, Government House staff designed and built an interactive exhibit that pays tribute to the iconic national symbol. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz officially opened the new feature exhibit at Government House in Regina on February 13.

“I am pleased that Government House and the Lieutenant Governor’s Office are celebrating our national flag in this way,” Krawetz said. “This anniversary deserves to be recognized and historic Government House is the perfect setting for this innovative, educational display.” The exhibit, known as “Celebrate the Flag!”,

outlines the history of the Canadian flag and features an interactive touch table where guests can create their own digital flag. A craft area for visitors who would like to physically create a flag design and hang it on the wall is also part of the exhibit. There is also a video booth that allows guests to share their own

Canadian stories. Video stories may be featured in an upcoming exhibit celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. “The national flag helps unite our great country,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Mark Docherty said. “It’s a widely recognized symbol

of Canada and although our nation’s population and geography are diverse, we all enjoy the vibrant quality of life that Saskatchewan and Canada offer. We are fortunate to live in a free, inclusive and peaceful democracy.” “Celebrate the Flag!” will be on display until September 2015. Government House, a

Canadians deserve to get straight answers The federal government’s roster of media spin doctors seem to be holding up well in the face of the Harper government’s campaign to eliminate 19,000 positions from the public service, according to figures obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) under the Access to Information Act. The ranks of Information Services staff in the federal core public service currently stand at 3,325, with total spending on communications staff forecast at $262.7 million in the current fiscal year. While the headcount of communications staff is down from the peak of 3,824 reached in 2010, it’s still higher than the 3,163 information services staffers who were on the payroll in 2006, when the Harper Conservatives took office, vowing to end the waste and profligacy of the Chrétien era. “Journalists now have the punch line to the Ottawa version of the riddle: ‘how many government communications staff does it take to spin a journalist’,” said CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas. The federal communications payroll is heavily concentrated in the national capital region, where 2,656 employees take home $211 million, averaging just shy of $77,000 in annual salary. The figures don’t include communications staff at independent tribunals, the RCMP, the military, and the Canada Revenue Agency. “When you compare the payroll of un-elected federal spin doctors at $262 million to the payroll of the House of Commons – all of our elected MPs and all their staff – at $329 million, the costs are seriously out of line,” said Thomas. While overall spending on communications staff is down from its peak of $281 million in 2010, it’s still $48 million more than when the Harper Conservatives took office in 2006. “Canadians shouldn’t need to battle an army of spin doctors to get answers from the federal government,” said Thomas. “Canadians shouldn’t need to wade through mountains of censored Access to Information releases.” “The Harper government could save millions, simply by letting everyday federal government employees answer their telephones, reply to emails, and respond with straight answers to straightforward questions from Canadians,” concluded Thomas.

New approach needed for climate change Over the past nine years Canada’s international reputation has been damaged and the Keystone XL pipeline has been stalled, all because our federal government has failed to deliver a sensible, credible approach to the environment and the economy. At the same time, many provinces and territorial governments have begun their own initiatives because they know that climate change is real and that our children’s future requires us to reduce carbon emissions. BC, Alberta, Quebec and, soon, Ontario— jurisdictions that represent over 85 per cent of the economy—have all committed, in different ways, to a price on carbon. History has shown that Canada works best when all orders of government work together to forge solutions to complex problems. Through provincial experimentation and federal leadership, Medicare was forged and now provides one common standard of public healthcare for every Canadian across in the entire country. That’s the approach we need to take to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. As it stands, the Prime Minister has committed Canada to targets, but we’re not collectively on track to meet them, not even close. And no

wonder, when the Prime Minister refuses to meet with the Premiers to coordinate climate policies—or anything else for that matter. That’s why a new Liberal government would, within 90 days of the upcoming Paris climate conference, hold a First Ministers meeting to work together on a framework for combatting climate change—including the creation of national emissions-reduction targets. A national standard would be set in partnership with provinces and territories, who will have the flexibility to design their own polices to achieve it, including carbon pricing. The federal government would provide funding, similar to how it supports Medicare today. In this way, we will build on existing provincial initiatives, in the best spirit of Canadian federalism. Through a healthy respect for regional differences, we will achieve progress on climate change; we will begin to repair our broken relationships and regain public trust. Canada has solved bigger problems than this and we’ll solve this one too, in the way we always have—together. John McKay, MP Liberal Party of Canada Environment Critic 613-992-1447

The Canadian flag should inspire New Zealand This past weekend was the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag. It has aged well, while timeless is one of those words that’s overused it actually does apply here, it doesn’t look like it’s from any particular era and it clearly wasn’t an attempt to be hip and trendy, which is good when you’re trying to make something to last for a long time. Plenty of flags have aged poorly because they are too closely identified with the specific time and place where they were created, taking trendy colour combinations or throwing on a few too many symbols, a process which looks good for a time but eventually starts to age rapidly. Here, we have a flag that is simple, direct, endlessly adaptable – stamp it on a coin or a plaque and you don’t lose any integrity – and instantly recognized as a symbol of the country. It stands to reason that the Canadian flag could be considered an inspiration for other counties. In particular, those countries looking for a new flag. Countries like New Zealand, which is currently in the middle of a highly contentious debate about whether or not they need one. Their problem is that their flag is a bit too similar to the flag of Australia, and some people within the country really hate that. Other people in the country don’t think it’s a very big deal at all, and think a vote to replace the flag is a waste

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger of time and money. That’s only natural, the drive to get a unique Canadian flag wasn’t exactly a time of sunshine and happiness here either. A long and contentious debate happened here as well, even if we’re all proud of it now it wasn’t a case of instant acceptance and pride. Fifty years later we might know we’ve made the right choice, but at the time the answer is significantly less clear. Still, with the benefit of our example swaying in the breeze, New Zealand can at least take some inspiration from the struggle to get a new standard of their own. They should be able to figure out how to get a decent flag design if they just look at ours and also look at the examples we rejected.

From the start, pick one symbol and stick with it. It doesn’t matter what that symbol is, so long as it’s important to the country, but the moment you’re trying to pick more than one it quickly becomes cluttered. The single maple leaf works because it’s instantly recognizable, it would be a lot less effective if there was a maple leaf and then a bunch of other stuff spread around. New Zealand has gone with a fern, which is good, but then there’s an attachment to the southern cross currently on their flag, which is also good. Both symbols together? It’s a mess. Also, recognize you can’t recognize everyone. You’re trying to summarize a country in a piece of cloth, but trying to do too much quickly gets out of hand and you’ve got a mess of competing design elements. A good flag is a contradiction, it’s simultaneously specific and vague, it identifies a country but doesn’t identify any specific person or group within it. If they wish to, New Zealand has an opportunity to create a new flag that really captures the spirit of their nation and carves out an identity distinct from their Australian neighbours. Now they need to take inspiration in design from the countries that got it right. Since Canada is one of those counties, they should be looking at us for inspiration.

Economic messes can be fixed

Money spent on Saskatchewan’s future

To the Editor: To reinforce his obvious campaign themes about fear and insecurity, Stephen Harper has taken to describing Canada’s current economic situation as a “crisis”. If that’s his pitch, one should ask on whose watch did this so-called “crisis” develop? And why is Canada so vulnerable – after more than nine years of Harper government and nearly 6 years after the recession officially ended? Our country is no doubt in an economic mess, but calling it a “crisis” is simply a scare tactic. It says more about Mr. Harper than about the economy. De-energized and often incoherent, his government doesn’t seem to know what to do about Canada’s challenges, so they’ve punted their budget into another fiscal year. The crisis here is one of leadership – nine years of hyperpartisan mediocrity. And on closer examination, several other strong words come to mind to depict this government’s performance: Reckless – How else could you portray a new government in 2006 that inherited (from Liberal predecessors) the most robust fiscal standing in the western world and squandered it in just two years, putting Canada back into deficit again while the global economy was still thriving. In denial – A bit later, with the 2008 recession clearly looming, instead of preparing Canadians for

what lay ahead, Mr. Harper deliberately misled them. He denied there would be a recession or any risk of a deficit. He prescribed austerity as his only policy and falsely projected five more surplus budgets.

Cabinet, lavish Ministerial offices, and a humongous Prime Minister’s Office, this costly government must rank as the most self-indulgent in history. Partisan bias – They took funds approved for border

Our country is no doubt in an economic mess, but calling it a “crisis” is simply a scare tactic. Incompetent and deceitful – That’s the description provided by the Auditor General and the Parliamentary Budget Officer about the Harper government’s bungled acquisition of F-35 fighterjets for the airforce. The costs ballooned from $9-billion to nearly $50-billion or more, and Canada still doesn’t have a single new plane. Gross mismanagement – That’s a kind way to characterize the Temporary Foreign Workers debacle. This government took a suite of programs that had been reasonably successful over some 30 years and totally screwed them up, with no reliable labour market data, no monitoring or enforcement, woefully insufficient pathways to citizenship and no solutions for employers still strapped for workers. Unconscionable waste – Through an avalanche of tax-paid government advertising, an endless string of external consultants, a bloated

crossings and used them instead for ornamental gazebos and sidewalks to nowhere, just to puff-up one Minister’s riding. They created a program to help the disabled, but skewed it to favour Conservative MPs. They made big promises to Veterans for which Parliament voted the money, and then they clawed back more than a billion dollars just to help Mr. Harper concoct the appearance of a balanced budget. Blind ideology – Think of the destruction of the Census which is steadily eroding Canada’s database for sensible decisionmaking. Think of government scientists who have been muzzled and then de-funded. These are just two examples of a government driven by prejudice, not evidence. Dereliction of duty -- It’s a fundamental obligation of the federal government to get Canadian products to world market, but the Harper regime has presided over two major market access

failures. Their dysfunctional grain handling and transportation system cost farmers over $5-billion last year. And for all their bravado about energy exports, the Conservatives have failed on every major pipeline proposal they’ve ever touched – nine years and not one inch of progress. Perverse priorities -- With an average economic growth rate of just 1.7 per cent per year since he took power in 2006, Mr. Harper has the worst growth record of any Prime Minister since R.B. Bennett in the Dirty Thirties. You’d think he might want to invest in better growth, like transformative community infrastructure. But no, he’s chopped a multi-billion dollar hole in his “Building Canada Fund”, delaying three-quarters of it until after 2019. Instead, he’s planning to spend more than $12-billion on an Income Splitting scheme for wealthier families. None other than the late Jim Flaherty panned this scheme as too expensive and unfair since 86 per cent of Canadian households will never be able to qualify, and among those who do, the biggest benefits go to the most wealthy. The good news about this litany of Conservative failure is that it can be fixed – just as soon as Canadians have the opportunity to choose a new and better government.

Study documents public sector workforce

To the Editor:

The Frontier Centre for Public Policy released a new study documenting how high public sector employment rates in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan have significant costs to the taxpayers of those provinces. Additional spending on the public sector wage bills due to a sub-national public sector size in excess of the national average cost both Manitoba and Saskatchewan $4.052 billion. Findings include (all data is from 2013): An analysis of Statistics Canada data from 2013 demonstrates that 18 per cent of all jobs at the national level are in the public sector, that is, government employees at the federal, provincial and local levels, with the exclusion of defense and Crown corporation employees. By comparison, Manitoba has the second-

largest public sector employment at 23.35 per cent. Saskatchewan also sits above the national average at 22.46 per cent, giving it the fourthlargest public sector in Canada. Sub-national public sector employment–excluding federal employees–rates are higher in Manitoba and Saskatchewan than in the rest of the country. Manitoba’s and Saskatchewan’s sub-national public sectors as a share of total jobs were at 21.6 and 21.1 per cent, respectively, which means they have the second- and third-largest subnational public sectors in the country. Nationally, there are 84 sub-national public sector employees per 1,000 residents. Manitoba had the highest number at 114 per 1,000 residents. This was followed by Saskatchewan, the second highest at 111 per 1,000 residents. The authors calculate the

impact of high rates of public sector employment in excess of the national average on the public sector wage bill that is borne by taxpayers. They show that public sector employment in excess of the national average increases the public sector wage bill in Manitoba and Saskatchewan by a total of $4.052 billion. The authors, however, also provide some hopeful and realistic scenarios for reducing the size of the public sector in both provinces. “It is not all doom and gloom. Looking towards the future, there are opportunities for both Manitoba and Saskatchewan to reduce the size of their public sectors and save millions, if not billions, of dollars without any drastic cuts to their public sectors,” said Joseph Quesnel, one of the study’s authors.

To the Editor: In recent weeks, NDP Leader Cam Broten has been asking our government – where did the money go? The answer is really quite clear. It went to debt reduction, to tax reduction and to much-needed investment in government infrastructure and services. First of all, debt reduction. Since taking office in 2007, our government has reduced the province’s operating debt by $3 billion or 44 per cent, from $6.8 billion to $3.8 billion. That debt reduction is saving Saskatchewan taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in interest costs. So far, we have saved nearly a billion dollars in total – money that was re-invested in infrastructure and government services and money that went back into the pockets of Saskatchewan taxpayers in the form of tax cuts. When the NDP was in power, Saskatchewan people were taxed far too much. That’s why our government has delivered the largest income tax reductions and the largest property tax reductions in Saskatchewan history. Here’s one example. Under the NDP, a family of four earning $50,000 a year paid $2,302 in provincial income tax. Today, that same family pays just $95 a year in provincial income tax – a tax reduction of 95 per cent. On top of that, our government lowered the education property tax on their home, took the PST off the purchase of their used car and extended the PST exemption on their children’s clothing to age 18, saving them hundreds more dollars over the past few years. Tax reductions are saving Saskatchewan residents hundreds of millions of dollars a year compared to when the NDP was in office. In total since 2007, our government has delivered over $5 billion in tax relief. Our government has also invested billions of dollars to address the massive infrastructure deficit left behind by the NDP. We know there is more to be done, but in our first seven years in office, we have invested $6.6 billion in important capital projects like hospitals, schools and highways. That’s more than double what the NDP spent on infrastructure in their last seven years in power. We believe in planning for growth. The NDP was planning for decline. In fact, you can see this investment all around the province. There are 40 new schools completed or in development across Saskatchewan, including nine joint-use schools to address increased enrolments and aging facilities. We have also made record investments in health care capital – over $1 billion since 2007 – to build 15 long-term care facilities, replace the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, build a new hospital in Moose Jaw, and the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. We have also repaired and rebuilt over 8,500 kilometres of Saskatchewan highways, while still understanding there are more to be fixed because of the disastrous condition of Saskatchewan highways left behind by the NDP. So that’s where the money has gone – into important investments in Saskatchewan’s future. Debt reduction. Tax reduction. Infrastructure projects. It’s a fair question, but we have a clear answer. And it’s a lot better than the question many of us were asking when the NDP were in office: where did the people go? Ken Krawetz Minister of Finance

Naming program recognizes fallen heroes

The Government of Saskatchewan is commemorating the lives of eight more fallen heroes through its Geo Memorial Commem orative Naming Program. Administered by the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport, the GeoMemorial Program honours individuals born or raised in Saskatchewan who have given their lives in service of their province and country by naming geographic features in their memory. The program also recognizes Saskatchewan persons of prominence who have made significant contributions to the history and development of the province. Anderson Lake – Named after Corporal Jordan Anderson (Iqaluit, Nunavut), who served with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light

Infantry. Corporal Anderson was killed on July 4, 2007, by an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Blair Lake – Named after Private Alfred Edward Wesley Blair (Chaplin, Saskatchewan), who was part of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion when he parachuted into France during World War II, and was subsequently killed in action on June 9, 1944. Goddard Lake – Named after Captain Nichola Kathleen Sarah Goddard (Madang, Papua New Guinea), who was serving with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry as a forward observation officer when she was killed in a firefight in Panjwai District, Afghanistan on May

17, 2006. Greff Lake – Named after Master Corporal Byron Greff (Swift Cur rent, Saskatchewan), who served with the Princess Patricia’s Can a dian Light Infantry. Master Corporal Greff was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan on October 29, 2011 when the armoured bus he was in was rammed by a car packed with explosives. Master Corporal Greff was part of the mission to train the Afghan National Army. Lake MacKenzie – Named after Captain Juli-Ann Dawn MacKenzie (Weyburn, Sask atche wan), who, while serving with the Can adian Air Force, was killed with her copilot on July 18, 2002, when her helicopter crashed during severe weather while on a search and rescue mission in Labrador.

Lang Bay – Named after journalist Michelle Lang (Vancouver, British Columbia), who worked in Moose Jaw and later for the Regina Leader-Post. While embedded as a journalist with the Canadian military in Afghanistan, Lang was killed when the armoured vehicle she was riding in hit a roadside bomb on December 30, 2009. Pineo Point – Named after Constable Derek William Henry Pineo (Halifax, Nova Scotia), who served with the Nipawin and Wilke Royal Canadian Mount ed Police detachments. Con stable Pineo was killed on duty when his vehicle hit a moose on July 20, 2012. Willows Lake – Named after Corporal Willmit Alfred Willows (Maple Creek, Saskatchewan), who served with the Calgary

High landers during World War II. Corporal Willows was wounded by bombing that occurred during the push to take Falaise in France. He died three days later on July 26, 1944. “We are delighted that the lake named after Nichola is in northeastern Saskatche wan, within the traditional territory of the Chipewyan Dene people,” parents of Captain Nichola Goddard, Tim and Sally Goddard said. “Our family lived for three years in Black Lake, where Nichola not only attended school but also became fluent in the Dene language. We hope that the Dene people who live and work in that area will remember Nichola fondly as they fish and hunt in and around Goddard Lake.” “Nipawin Legion

Employee award nominations open

The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for two Employee of the Year Awards. One award will be presented in each of two categories - the Front Line Employee Award and the Support Employee Award. Each Award recognizes outstanding contributions by employees to their places of employment and to the community. Carol Yaholnitsky, Co-Chair of the Events committee, indicated this is the second time that the ERE will have two Award categories. “We implemented the two categories in 2013

and found it was a popular decision with employees and employers alike,” she said. “The Front Line employees are often the first point of contact between the public and the business; while the behind-thescenes employees keep the business running.” Employers and members of the public are welcome to submit nominations for the Front Line Employee Award. Nominators are expected to explain why the nominees deserve such recognition. Employers/Supervisors only will be able to submit nominations for the Support

Employee Award. Nominators will also be asked to describe why the nominees should be considered for the award. The Awards are not just for employees of Chamber members. “Employees in all businesses in Yorkton and the immediate area are eligible for nomination”, said Stephanie Buckle, Co-Chair of the Events committee. “The only criterion is that the employee must have been employed by the business for 2 or more years”. The Employee of the Year Awards will be presented at the 2015 Employee Recognition Event

Wednesday March 25 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Cultural Centre. Nomination forms may be obtained from the Chamber office or from the Chamber website (www.yorktonchamber.com/ events). Nomina tions close at 5:00 pm Monday March 9. Photos and biographies of the nominees will be posted on the Chamber website for one week following the close of nominations. Each Chamber member will then have the opportunity to cast one vote for the nominee considered most deserving for each of the Awards.

Vaccination best protection from measles not. Measles is a very contagious disease, characterized by a red blotchy rash, and can be very serious, commonly causing diarrhea and pneumonia, and in rarer cases encephalitis and death. It spreads easily through close contact with an infected person. Measles affects all age groups and can be prevented by a vaccine. Canada has a rigorous scientific review process in place to ensure vaccines are safe and effective in preventing the diseases they target. More information on measles is available on our web site. If you have received two doses of measlescontaining vaccine, or if you have been infected with the measles virus

before, then you are at very low risk of catching the disease. If you have not been vaccinated and have never had the illness, then you are at risk of infection if you come in contact with someone infected with the virus. A person can also be susceptible if they have a weakened immune system due to an underlying medical condition. Children who are less than one year of age are also susceptible to more severe disease. Immunization of others helps to protect these vulnerable populations. The best protection against measles is vaccination with two doses of measles-containing vaccine. The Public Health Agency of Canada

WINTER CARNIVAL – Dr. Brass School recently hosted its annual Winter Carnival, with Julie Parisloff and the Bears Leadership Team putting together a wide variety of games and events to give students an afternoon of fun and games. The money raised at the event will be donated to Telemiracle.

reminds Canadians, especially travellers, to make sure their measles vaccinations are up to date. The first dosage of measles-containing vaccine is typically administered at 12 months of age. Measles vaccine can be given to children as early as six months of age if they are travelling to countries where measles is widely circulating or live in a community where many measles cases are occurring. If a measles vaccine is given to a child less than 12 months old, another dose should be given soon after their first birthday. For children between the

ages of 6 months and 12 months who have had direct exposure to a measles case, the preventative use of immunoglobulin within six days is recommended. If you have recently travelled and you develop symptoms similar to measles when you return to Canada, you should see a health care provider. Describe your symptoms over the phone before your appointment, so that they can arrange to see you without exposing others to measles. Symptoms include the following: •fever

•runny nose •drowsiness •irritability •red eyes/sensitivity to light •small white spots on the inside of the mouth and throat •red blotchy rash that starts on the face three to seven days after the start of the symptoms and then progresses down the body. There is no specific treatment for measles. Symptoms are usually treated with medication to reduce fever and fluids. Most people fully recover. Public Health Agency of Canada

GSSD recognizes volunteer The Good Spirit School Division has changed its rules in order to honour a deserving member of the community who is not a staff member with one of its most prestigious awards. Normally only GSSD employees are eligible for the Sea Stars (Sparkling Examples of Accomplished Skillful Talented and Radiant Staff) Dedicated Service Award, but this year school counsellors unanimously brought forward Kathy Connors for the honour. For sixteen years Connors, through Soup Haven, has made sure Yorkton school children have been able to have a good lunch. The award was presented to Connors during the Good Spirit School Division Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Electors February 11 at Yorkton Regional High School. “In the true spirit of the award, we would like to take this time to highlight and honour the work that Kathy Conners has done through Soup Haven,” said board member Bob Simpson, who chaired the meeting. “She most definitely exemplifies the criteria of dedicated service which reads as ‘an indi-

vidual that portrays an exemplary record of integrity and commitment to the school environment. He/she works tirelessly to do their best to ensure a positive education experience for students, regarding them with respect and true caring’.” The AGM is a legislated opportunity for board electors to get a detailed overview of the operations of the school division for the past year including financial reports. The division also tries to highlight interesting initiatives with presentations. This year, one of the highlights of the meeting was a presentation by

Davison School (Melville) on their “Bump it Up” program, said Lynel Martinuk, GSSD communications coordinator. The program uses graphic representations to allow children to visualize progress in their outcomes-based report card. Martinuk cited the example of a burger where a bare patty represents level one (bare minimum). Level two gives the student cheese and a bun and level three is the toppings. For level four (exceeding expectations) they get fries and a drink. “They’re noticing really good things because of it,” Martinuk said. N-R Staff

Cases of measles have been reported in Canada. Measles is relatively rare in Canada thanks to high immunization rates across the country. However, Canada will continue to see measles cases related to travel to countries where measles is endemic or there are large outbreaks. Additionally, the United States is reporting a multi-state outbreak of measles related to an amusement park in California, which started in December 2014. Related cases have since been reported in other states and in Mexico. Laboratory testing has shown that some of the Canadian cases are related to the strain circulating in the United States while others are

Boundary Dam project is reaping benefits

SaskPower released preliminary performance numbers for the operation of Unit #3 at Boundary Dam Power Station, the world’s first coal-fired commercial power plant equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Named one of National Geographic magazine’s 10 Energy Breakthroughs of 2014 That Could Change Your Life, the plant now has over 130 days of commercial operating experience logged, and has exceeded the expectations of those responsible for bringing the project to life “The project is generating vast amounts of data never before available to scientists and engineers around the world, and the numbers are very impressive,” said Mike Monea, SaskPower President of Carbon Capture and Storage Initiatives.

“People used to say there’s no proof that CCS works, a claim that is no longer valid,” Monea added. “Unit #3 is now producing affordable coal power for more than 100,000 homes and businesses for at least the next three decades, and it’s doing so 10 times more cleanly than other coal units and four times cleaner than a comparable natural gas unit,” said Monea. CCS technology is one of the ways SaskPower provides electricity to a growing Saskatchewan as demand continues to rise year over year. “By having the courage to move forward on this project, we’ve highlighted Estevan as a destination to come look and learn from our cutting-edge technologies,” said Mayor of Estevan Roy Ludwig. “SaskPower is a key economic driver in Estevan.

This project breathes new life into Boundary Dam Power Station, meaning many years of employment for residents of the area.” Final costs for the plant continue to be tallied. SaskPower’s total investment for the BD3 carbon capture and storage project sits at $1.23 billion. The federal government contributed a further $240 million towards the project, for a total of $1.467 billion. Approximately 135,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) have been captured since the plant officially launched on Oct. 2, 2014. The plant has the capacity to capture up to one million tonnes of CO2 in 2015 and is on target to meet that goal. To take a virtual tour of SaskPower’s CCS facility visit www.saskpowerccs.com/tour

Province proclaims Heritage Week

In recognition of Saskatchewan’s vibrant historical past, the provincial government has proclaimed February 15-21 as Heritage Week across the province. “Our government is proud to recognize this week as Heritage Week in Saskatchewan,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “As our province continues to grow, with more and more people moving here to work or start a family, it is important that we take the time to understand our past. Saskatchewan has a fascinating history filled with people, places and events that have shaped our province into the remarkable place it is today. Heritage Week is the perfect time to recognize this history by visiting one of Saskatchewan’s many historical attractions or attending events such as Government House’s first ever Pop-up Museum.” Heritage Week was formally requested by the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation and Heritage Saskatchewan. The week aligns with Canada’s nationally-proclaimed Heritage Day, which takes place on the third Monday of February. “Heritage Saskatchewan is pleased to partner with the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation and other agencies in celebrating Heritage Week,” Heritage Saskatchewan CEO Ingrid Cazakoff said. “This is a great opportu-

nity to celebrate our living heritage and to recognize the importance of heritage to our quality of life in Saskatchewan. It is also a time to acknowledge the people and organizations throughout our province who are dedicated to raising awareness for our diverse heritage and for the public to join in the numerous events occurring during the week.” “Our heritage defines us as a province, as communities, and as individuals,” Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation Chair Royce Pettyjohn

said. “The Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation is committed to our province’s heritage through programs that aid in the conservation of heritage properties at the community level. Heritage Week in Saskatchewan is an opportunity for us all to celebrate our heritage, and reflect on what we can do to ensure that our heritage properties are conserved for the benefit of the next generation of Saskatchewan residents.” Visit www.pcs.gov. sk.ca/shf-programs to learn more.

Pasture review request Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS), Community Pasture Patrons Association of Saskatchewan (CPPAS), Public Pastures – Public Interest (PPPI) and Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) examined Saskatchewan’s approach to pasture transition and found it would adversely affect the livestock industry in Saskatchewan. “We are asking the Saskatchewan Government to take a hard look at its current approach to the transition of the 62 PFRA pastures which affects 1.8 million acres or 2,500 ranchers,” says Norm Hall, APAS President. “The current process is inefficient, short and long-term costs will rise substantially for patrons, and public expectations and regulations for pastures could prove to be unworkable.” The study commissioned by the four partners is anchored in the following principles: • Conserving native grassland is critically important; • Land use should reinforce the economic viability of our livestock sector; • Natural working ecosystems must be preserved over the long term; • Business and governance systems must be efficient and effective; • Producers should not be expected to pay for public benefits. The approach taken by Saskatchewan is to increase revenues at the expense of producers and to offload responsibility for the environment from the public sector to pasture patrons. Pasture patrons are being asked to pay a full Crown land grazing rate. They are required to provide full public access and manage and report on the ecological, environmental and endangered species on native landscapes without required resources. “A level playing field is required,’ says Ian McCreary, CPPAS Chair. “Preserving a working natural landscape where hunters and naturalists can share the pasture system into the future must be maintained,” says Darrell Crabbe, Executive Director, SWF. “Pasture patrons cannot be expected to shoulder the costs of sourcing the expertise required and providing ongoing public benefits.” “APAS is concerned over the long term viability of the livestock industry in Saskatchewan,” says Hall. “We have a shrinking beef breeding herd and livestock producer numbers are falling. The current approach leads to a further acceleration of producers leaving the industry. Pasture patrons may fall by onehalf. The current approach closes the opportunity for young producers to enter the industry. A different approach is needed if we are to build a strong, sustainable Saskatchewan livestock industry.”

(MS) -- A dream home means different things to different people. To some, an ideal home sits atop a hill and has enough rooms to accommodate generations upon generations of family members. To others, a home small in stature but with views to die for is all a homeowner needs. While preferences may vary on the home itself, there are a few things buyers of all shapes and sizes prefer when shopping for the home of their dreams. * Agreeable weather. Vacation home shoppers often prefer year-round warm weather so they know their respite from the cold is never too far away. For example, a locale such as Port St. Lucie, Florida boasts an average temperature of 73.7* F, providing the ideal getaway to snowbound men and women stuck in the throes of winter. * Affordability. A dream home stays a dream for many people because of the misconception that it is beyond their financial reach. "While a seaside villa in Italy might never be a reality, there are places where it is still affordable to own and maintain a vacation home," says Andrew Nadalin, President of Pace 2000 Inc. Compared to neighboring counties, St. Lucie County and Martin County represent the piece of South Florida that is still considered affordable. Endowed with the rich quality of life South Florida has to offer, both St. Lucie and Martin counties also offer and affordable cost-of-living vacationers will appreciate. * Accessibility of activities. While an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is great, no one wants to escape to a place with nothing to do. When shopping for a place to buy or build your dream getaway, be sure there's plenty of accessibility to popular activities like boating, fishing, diving, surfing, canoeing, or kayaking. * Proximity to other hotspots. Even if you're looking for a place to simply unwind, a dream home's proximity to hotspots or other exotic locales never hurts. Port St. Lucie, for example, offers all a vacationer needs to relax and unwind, and it's only 90 miles from the Bahamas by boat and a short drive to Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando. * Proximity to major airports. Unless you plan on living in your vacation home year-round, you'll want the home to be somewhere that's close to major airports. This makes it easier to get to your home and flights won't be as expensive.

Canada’s flag is now fifty years old

For a half-century, our flag has presided over official federal government events. February 15th marked the fiftieth anniversary of its official adoption as the flag of Canada. As with most new arrivals, long labour preceded its birth. In 1925, a committee of the Privy Council began researching possible designs for a new flag. That effort went nowhere. In 1946, a second attempt gathered in 2,600 design propositions. Again, the designs never made it to a vote in the House of Commons. However in early 1964, under the leadership of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, work began in earnest to find a flag of Canada’s own. In light of the approaching 1967 centennial celebration of Confederation, the government referred the matter to a 15-member all-party committee to make recom-

mendations. Once more, design submissions began rolling in. By October 1964, that committee had eliminated all but three possible designs – a Red Ensign with the fleur-de-lis and the Union Jack; a design incorporating three red maple leaves; and a redwhite-red flag with one red maple leaf in a white squared centre. Mr. John Matheson, a Member of Parliament from Ontario, and Dr. George Stanley, Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College in Kingston, are strong characters in the story of Canada’s flag. Mr. Matheson, one of the strongest supporters of a new flag, played a key advisory role. Dr. Stanley brought to the attention of the committee the impressive design of the Commandant’s flag at the college, an emblem on a red and white background. Dr. Stanley’s design is

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz based on a strong sense of Canadian history. The combination of red, white and red first appeared in the General Service Medal issued by Queen Victoria. Red and white were subsequently proclaimed Canada’s national colours by King George V in 1921. Three years earlier, Major General (later the Honourable) Sir Eugene Fiset had recommended that Canada’s emblem be the single red maple leaf on a white field – as worn by all Canadian Olympic athletes since 1904. In the end, the commit-

tee chose the single-leaf design. Several more Canadians had a hand in our flag’s final design – from stylizing the elevenpoint maple leaf to selecting the precise shade of red.

The House of Commons and the Senate approved the final design in December of 1964, upon which Matheson wrote to Stanley: “Your proposed flag has just now been approved by the Commons 163 to 78. Congratulations. I believe it is an excellent flag that will serve Canada well.” A month later, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, decreed the design to take effect on February 15, 1965. Thus Canada’s flag, the Maple Leaf, came to be thanks to the contributions of many Canadians, but especially the Right

Honourable Lester B. Pearson, who wanted a distinctive national flag to promote national unity; M.P. John Matheson, who established the conceptual framework for a suitable flag and then sought out and combined the appropriate components to create it; and Dr. George Stanley, who provided the key concepts of red-whitered stripes with a central maple leaf. You can find more information about Canada’s flag, including photos of some of the proposed flags for Canada, at www.pch. gc.ca

Barley industry recognized producers, the Canadian Government will continue to build a modern, competitive and profitable grain industry in Alberta and across Canada through an aggressive trade agenda, Canadian Grain Commission reform, supply chain improvements, and strategic investments in innovation under the Growing Forward 2 federal-provincial-territorial initia-

tive, all in addition to marketing freedom for western barley and wheat. The barley industry is an important economic driver in Western Canada, with over $700 million in cash receipts and over $700 million in exports. The Canadian beer industry brings $14 billion to the Canadian economy and over 160,000 jobs.

Ballet Jörgen Canada - Cinderella A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Tuesday March 10, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. This Ballet by Bengt Jorgen is an innovative take on the classic fairy tale. Jorgen’s choreography balances the fairy tale elements of the story with a contemporary treatment of Cinderella and her family relationships. Returning to the original Russian tradition of having women perform the roles of stepsisters, Jorgen builds a more realistic and human look at Cinderella and her circumstances and then uses these scenes to both counterpoint and highlight the magical aspects of the story. Glenn Davidson’s set design creates a fantastical environment based on the idea of the natural world reclaiming man-made structures. Inspiration for the set pieces is drawn from ice storms and old growth forests. Costume designs by Robert Doyle playfully echo each character’s personality. Ballet Jorgen Canada’s Cinderella is a classical ballet with modern dramatic sensibilities. www.balletjorgen.ca Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.

CRA offers advice for avoiding scams

Occasionally, taxpayers may receive, either by telephone, mail, or email, a communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but is not. In all these cases, the communication requests personal information, such as a social insurance, credit card, bank account, and passport numbers, from the taxpayer. These fraudulent communications are also referred to as scams or phishing. Invariably, the communication argues that this personal information is needed so that

the taxpayer can receive a refund or benefit payment. Another common scam refers the person to a Web site resembling the CRA’s Web site where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. Taxpayers should not respond to such fraudulent communications. To better equip taxpayers to identify those communications that do not come from the CRA, the following general guidelines are provided. The CRA does not do the following:

The CRA will not request personal information of any kind from a taxpayer by email. The CRA will not divulge taxpayer information to another person unless formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer. The CRA will not leave any personal information on an answering machine. When in doubt, ask yourself the following: Am I expecting additional money from the CRA? Does this sound too good to be true? Is the requester ask-

ing for information I would not include with my tax return? Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? How did the requester get my email address? Am I confident I know who is asking for the information? The CRA will continue to post notifications of fraudulent communications as we become aware of them and encourages you to check our Web site should you have concerns. Examples

You will find examples of a fraudulent letter, emails, and online refund forms on the CRA’s Web site. As per telephone calls, the CRA will occasionally leave messages for taxpayers on their answering machines. In these cases, a callback number will be provided along with a request to have the taxpayer’s SIN available upon callback. However, it is important to note that not all telephone messages purporting to be from the CRA are genuine. Should taxpayers wish to verify the authenticity of a CRA

telephone number, they should contact the CRA directly by using the numbers on our Telephone numbers page. For business-related calls, contact 1-800-959-5525 and for individual concerns, contact 1-800-9598281. If you have responded to a fraudulent communication and have become a victim of fraud, please contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by email at info@antifraudcentre. ca or call 1-888-4958501.

Province and teachers reach agreement The GovernmentTrustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC) and the Teachers’ Bargaining Committee have accepted terms of settlement for a new provincial collective bargaining agreement for Saskatchewan teachers following conclusion of conciliation and receipt of the Conciliation Board Report.

“After working through the conciliation process, as a board we saw no possibility of agreement on any terms more favorable to either party,” said Andrew Sims Q.C., Chair Conciliation Board. “We believe the terms in the report represent the best agreement possible given the circumstances and the interests of all par-

ties.” The terms of settlement include a wage increase of 7.55 per cent over four years and a 0.25 per cent increase in government pension contribution rates to the S a s k a t c h e w a n Teachers’ Retirement Plan effective July 1, 2016. “After careful deliberations, members of

the Teachers’ Bargaining Committee and STF Executive agreed with the conciliation board’s strong and unanimous advice to accept the terms of settlement,” said Randy Cline, STF VicePresident. “We determined that it was in the best interests of teachers to secure the resources leveraged by the conciliation process

now.” “The GTBC listened to teachers, developed a deeper understanding of the issues, and during the conciliation process we were able to respond to some of those concerns,” said Connie Bailey, Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee. “Having an agreement in place is important to the education sector and we are committed to working together for the benefit of all Saskatchewan students.” The Ministry of Education, the S a s k a t c h e w a n Teachers’ Federation and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association have also accepted the report from the Joint Committee of Student and Teacher Time that met between October 2014 and January 2015. The report addresses teacher time and workload intensification, however more

work needs to be done and at the recommendation of the Conciliation Board the parties have also committed to the creation of a Task Force on Teacher Time. The parties have also confirmed that, upon the establishment of a new regulatory body for teachers, any associated professional fees will be paid on behalf of teachers and school boards by the Ministry of Education in the first two years. The GovernmentTrustee Bargaining Committee and the Teachers’ Bargaining Committee will be formalizing the terms of settlement into the new provincial collective bargaining agreement which takes effect immediately. The parties acknowledged and thanked the members of the Conciliation Board for their commitment to helping the parties reach an agreement.

TERRIERS WELCOME SPECIAL OLYMPIANS During the Yorkton Terriers home game on February 13th, athletes and volunteers from Special Olympics Yorkton were celebrated. The evening provided an opportunity to raise awareness about Special Olympics programming, celebrate the athletes and volunteers, and raise muchneeded funds to support programming. “Special Olympics is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals through active participation in sport” shared Special Olympics volunteer Betty-Ann Shalkowsky. “Special Olympics Yorkton invites any athletes or volunteers who would like to learn more about the programs and opportunities we offer to contact us. Right now, athletes are participating in bowling, snow shoeing, and swimming. As well we are getting ready for the SaskEnergy 2015 Special Olympics Saskatchewan Winter Games. We will have three athletes participating in snow shoeing – Stacy Pasloski, Dustin Sobko, and Claude Perron. As well, Sherry Pasloski will participate as a Coach, and Betty-Ann Shalkowski will serve as Chef de Mission.” To help raise awareness and funds to support Special Olympics, the Yorkton Terriers agreed to welcome the athletes. During the second intermission, Special Olympics athletes and volunteers were introduced on the ice. During the third period, a silver collection raised over $1060.00 in support of Special Olympics programming. After the game, a number of Terriers as well as the coaching staff visited with Special Olympics athletes. Special Olympics Yorkton would like to thank the Terrier organization, especially, coaches Trent Cassan and Casey O’Brien, Don Chesney, and Lisa Schill for all their work and support.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 19, 2015 - Page 19A

Slipping and sliding good news for sledders Ed, my neighbor next door, was happy this past week because he wanted more snow for his snowmobiling, and he got it. While some of us did not want the slipping, sliding and shoveling that new snow falls bring, my neighbor was excited and happy. Ed’s love of winter has not been contagious in my case. My neighbor cannot understand why everyone doesn’t appreciate winter. I tell him walking and driving are challenging in the winter. Ed forgets that if some of our seniors slip on ice or hard packed snow we will not get up without a sprain or a break. My neighbor needs to remember, that we old timers shatter like glass rather than bounce

like a rubber ball. Shoveling snow can be a hazard to our health. For some seniors, winter is like a jail sentence because they are not able to be out and about in the snow and cold. Some folks even slip and slide into depression as one winter day gives way to another. A mere moment of carelessness on winter roads and sidewalks can lead to a minor or major mishap. Most seniors try to watch and be extra careful in the winter because winter weather conditions demand it. Even so, stumbling, slipping and falling can happen in spite of our vigilance. Winter accidents often happen and not always to other people. The season of Lent reminds all Christians that those who think that

Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com they are sure-footed in faith may tumble and fall into temptation and sin. Winter leaves little room for smugness for the weather can turn from fine to dangerous quickly. The state of our Christian life can go from solid to broken quickly. Most will agree that there is the reality of careless or dangerous driving for the winter road conditions that are present. Not so many Christians will admit to the actuality of inattentive and reck-

less living by Christians in their walk of faith. On the Mount of Olives, Jesus said to his disciples, “You will all fall away.” Peter declared that even if all fall away, I will not. Jesus warned Peter that before the night was over that Peter would deny him three times. Peter was too smug to listen. He insisted that he would never disown Jesus even if he had to die with Jesus. All the other disciples said the same thing. When

they went on to Gethsemane, Jesus asked the disciples to watch and pray while he wrestled with God in prayer, and they fell asleep. Jesus returned three times from his praying to find his disciples asleep. The disciples pledged their faithfulness to Jesus, but there is always a big gap between our words and our actions. The rest of the story is that Judas one of his disciples betrayed Jesus for money and brought the soldiers to arrest Jesus. Judas

identified Jesus with a kiss. When the soldiers arrested Jesus, all the disciples deserted Jesus except for Peter, who followed at a distance and then denied knowing Jesus three times before morning dawned. Lent is a church season that calls Christians to recognize their personal smugness towards Jesus. We need to confess our own deserting, denying and disowning of Jesus and break down and weep.
