Local college welcomes new partner
It’s a new partnership filled with plenty of opportunity. The Parkland College has announced it has entered into a major educational partnership with the University of Belize – Central Farm Campus, Lakeland College (Lloydminster and Vermilion, AB), and Bow Valley College (Calgary, AB). The project seeks to solidify competencybased education training in Belize with a focus on sharing the colleges’ expertise on agriculture, entrepreneurship, and forming links with industry. The three-year partnership in the Caribbean nation will officially launch on April 1, 2013. The project is being funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the
Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). Parkland College will be a partner in the consortium to develop a new Associate Degree in Applied Agriculture to be delivered by the University of Belize. The project will work with university staff to improve instructional design techniques, employerdriven learning outcomes, as well as integrate entrepreneurship, environmental sustainability, and gender equity throughout the project. “A key aspect of this project is revamping the University of Belize’s agricultural curriculum to support student transitions to employment,” says William Litchfield, Director of Advancement at Parkland College. “In addition to cur-
riculum support there will be significant time spent sharing best practices in academic advising, environmental stewardship, entrepreneurship, and attracting female students into non-traditional agricultural opportunities.” Litchfield says Parkland College has a long history of working with local communities to support economic growth through education. The College will share its best practices with its partners to support the University of Belize’s growth and development. The ACCC’s International Partnerships program offers opportunities for members, like Parkland College, to establish connections with institutions in developing
countries. Through these partnerships, Canadian institutions share experience in educational programs tailored to applied learning and meeting community labour market challenges. “This is a great opportunity for Parkland College,” Litchfield notes. “Lakeland College will lead the Canadian institutional partnership, and we are very excited to work with the University of Belize to further develop it as a premier educational provider in the Caribbean.” He added that Parkland College is assuming the lead role on gender mainstreaming strategies, developing training and materials for career guidance, and social marketing strategies and implementation.
The University of Belize has several campuses spread throughout the country. Its inland Central Farm Campus features a diverse mixed farm operation, providing students with hands-on training in livestock, field crops, and resource marketing. The partnership with the Canadian colleges aims to share information across the Caribbean to boost recruitment and promotion of agricultural programs. “We look forward to working together with our partners on this project. There’s a lot we can offer to make this partnership a success. But we’re also excited to be an active learner to better serve our students, communities and businesses in East Central Saskatchewan.”
Ride for the cure – prairie women hit the trails
FOR THE LOVE OF LITERACY – Students and staff at St. Michael’s School recently took the time to read the book “Because of Winn-Dixie. Each night the students were to read one Chapter at home. In the morning there was a trivia question about the previous night’s chapter and prizes were handed out. The book was then brought to life when the school held a special literacy night with teachers, students, siblings and parents. The school was decorated as described in the book and seven different stations were set up, from origami folding, to cookie decorating, to a Jeopardy game. Pictured are Susan Malinowski (parent) and her two children, Hannah and Jack.
They won’t be making a Yorkton stop this year but they are out and about raising money for a very worthwhile cause. Ten Saskatchewan women set out on their snowmobiles February 1 on a 1,800 kilometer ride to raise money as well as bring awareness for breast cancer research. This is the 13th time the Prairie Women On Snowmobiles group has sponsored the Ride for the Cure, which so far has raised $1.8 million for research. This year’s snowmobile team consists of ten core riders, three members of the pit crew and four executive. “It’s a lot of work to organize the annual trek, but it’s tremendously rewarding to help ‘fund’ a cure,” says Carol McKnight, President of Prairie Women On Snowmobiles.

Local entrepreneur: create your own world By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Just Watch Me contest is about entrepreneurs with disabilities, and the ways they have gone forward in the business world. One of the entrants, Perry Dancsok from the Massage P.A.D. in Yorkton, is legally blind, and recently opened his own business. He says becoming a business owner was something he needed to do, and he also says other people with disabilities should consid-
er doing the same. Dancsok says he decided to open his business because controlling his surroundings is something he needs to do in order to effectively do his job. With a visual impairment he explains, the main difficulty is just finding the things he needs, but with his own office he can set it up around the way he works. He believes this is the key for any disabled entrepreneurs, making a controlled business environment in order to make their work life more effec-
tive. “My feeling is that anyone with a disability, I don’t care if you’ve got MS, or you’re deaf, or you’re blind, whatever, if you open your own business you create your own environment. If you have people working for you, that’s part of the learning process. Chairs get pushed in, or this stays here no matter what, because it’s yours, not someone else’s, so you have your way of doing it... Why not do it so we can do what we need to do to the best of our ability?” he says.
Dancsok believes that people with disabilities need to overcome them in order to have their lives be as rewarding as possible, and that there are ways to make their environments work for them. “I think the biggest problem is that people with disabilities limit themselves. You can either let it stop you, and you can sit at home and dwell on it, or you can do something about it. It’s like a hurdle, but I just walk right over them. You need to get rid of the hurdles, even something simple like a
deaf person doing accounting. This way you feel better about yourself because you’re doing what you like to do, and in your environment where you’re comfortable doing it.” Dancsok got assistance in starting the business through Community Futures Development, which aided in getting loans and with the development of a business plan. He says that their help was important because while he knew what he wanted to do, he didn’t know many of the smaller details that
were necessary. “I didn’t realize all the little things that need to be done to start a business, it’s crazy.” The business has been going well, Dancsok says, with many old clients finding his new location. He says that the environment is better for him, but also for them as well, since it’s easier to access for elderly clients and he can also work much more effectively in the space.

It’s Archives Week in Sask. – celebrating heritage Without our rich heritage, what would we be? The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed this week
– February 3-9 – as Archives Week in the province. The Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists (SCAA)
is hosting a week-long series of events around the province in honour of our heritage and the work that has gone into the preservation of that
heritage. “I am pleased we are able to celebrate the tremendous effort that goes into preserving and sharing our province’s rich history,” Central Services Minister Nancy Heppner says. “The celebration of Archives Week enables our citizens to learn more about the role archives play in our society and the stewardship of our history.” As part of her Central Services portfolio, Minister Heppner is responsible for the Saskatchewan Archives Board, a member of the SCAA. The Saskatchewan Archives provide a welldocumented record of all aspects of provincial
life and memories of Saskatchewan’s many achievements. “Preserving our past is important and essential work,” SCAA Executive Director Audrey Price adds. “We’re pleased to have this opportunity to demonstrate our work, and to educate citizens on the importance of it. I encourage everyone to learn more about our province’s history by visiting the archives.” The first celebration of Archives Week took place February 2006, and has become an annual event, celebrated during the first week of February each year. The week is designated in honour of Edmund Oliver, who was the first professor of histo-

Six cultures, one humanity: book signing event planned By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer
Author, editor, and Goodwill Ambassador, Janet Love Morrison will be in Yorkton later this month to promote her latest book – Friends, Six Friends, Six Cultures, One Humanity – and to meet with local residents. Born in Toronto Morrison now calls Vancouver home however she also has strong ties to the Yorkton area. Her mom, Nan Mor rison (nee Love), was born and raised in Saltcoats and her father, Ewen Morrison, went to Tupper School. They met after WWII, got married and ended up moving to Vancouver. It seems the travel bug was passed on to their daughter. Morrison says she has spent the bulk of her life travelling around the world doing a variety of jobs while living in Switzerland, Israel, India, Japan, and Malaysia. She has also dedicated much of her time (acting as a Goodwill Ambassador) to an organization called Friends to Mankind (www.friendstom-
ankind.org), an international nonprofit foundation that works with individuals, corporation and philanthropic organizations towards the betterment of humanity. “Refugees, children, taxi drivers, fellow travellers, work colleagues, family, friends, Master Dhyan Vimal, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and so many, many more remarkable people have been my teachers,” she says. “From the Himalayas, to the Swiss Alps; from the Andes to the Rocky Mountains; I have encountered this planet and I write to honour the courage of those who have met their challenges and rose to be the best they can be. They have sparked the belief in me that when we all rise to be the best we can be, humanity will rise to be the best it can be.” Morrison is also the author of The Crazy Canucks – Canada’s Legendary Ski Team, published 2008, Harbour Publishing, *Award winning book for 2009, “One Book – One Vancouver, The Host City Reads”.
That which I can be, a journey with my Master, a book about a Westerner discovering meditation in the East, published 2005, Zazen Publishing House, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Whistler Reflections, a book on the pre-ski industry history of Whistler, published 1996, Terra Bella Publishers, Vancouver, BC, Canada. With her latest work she says, “The inspiration for this book came from all the teachings I learned in the East and people I met on my travels. I spent 14 years outside of Canada and this book became an opportunity to share what I learned.” Morrison says she feels any reader who has multicultural friends will enjoy reading the book. “And, I’ve been surprised how many men have enjoyed it!” Anyone wanting to learn more can do so by visiting: www.youtube.com/ or www.janetlovemorrison.com/ library.html. Janet Love Morrison will be
holding a special reading and signing event to celebrate her book Friends, Six Women, Six Cultures, One Humanity at the 5th Avenue Cup and Saucer in Yorkton on Friday, February 22 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. She will also be at Coles Bookstore at the Parkland Mall (where copies of her book will be available) on Saturday, February 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All are welcome to attend!

‘Wander’ what the summer will bring? It’s a great way to highlight the positives in the province and an excellent career start for one lucky student in Saskatchewan. If you are a creative, energetic and motivated summer student who is looking to discover everything that makes Saskatchewan great – from special events, to little known gems, to remote locations – and then sharing your experiences with others, this opportunity could be for you. Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty just announced the “Saskatchewanderer” marketing project will continue for a third year. Hiring for the ‘best summer job ever’ started this week. The Saskatchewanderer is a summer student position designed to market and raise awareness of Saskatchewan. The job requires the student to travel around the province and blog about their adventures through writing, photos and video. What an excellent opportunity for a young student, or anyone for that matter. There’s plenty to see and do in this province and what better way to spend the summer than to be taking it all in and telling the world? Anyone interested can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca. But don’t wait! You only have until March 1! Thumbs up to a great idea Saskatchewan!
Bad boy, let’s send you for healing The way I see it...
Why can’t people just be people – black, brown, white, no matter the ethnicity – whatever... why, when we are all CANADIANS, should there be different sets of rules and repercussions based solely on race? Two dangerous men recently escaped out of an “Aboriginal healing centre” just north of Saskatoon. Both were being held for manslaughter. One killed a man by hitting him over the head with a two-by-four after an argument and the other shot someone to death in a gang related killing. Great pair of guys. Not. The average non-Aboriginal Joe would likely not see the outside of federal prison walls for quite sometime if they were found guilty of the same – these two men got what amounts to an all expenses paid long holiday if you ask me. Thirty-one year old Royce Virgil Bear was “sentenced” to five years and ten months. Twenty-threeyear-old Brandon Avery White got eight years – both men to spend their time at the Willow Cree Healing Lodge. It’s a relatively new federal attempt to curb Aboriginal crime. These new “healing lodges” popping up across the country “offer services and pro-
Column Shannon Deveau
grams that reflect Aboriginal culture in a space that incorporates Aboriginal peoples’ tradition and beliefs...” Needs are addressed through ceremonies and teachings, contact with elders, children and nature. Well isn’t that nice? (And on a side note – who in their right mind would want to subject their children to these
men?) The government can print all the happy statistics they want about how wonderful this new plan is, but where is the fairness? And where is the security? There’s now two murderers walking the streets because they walked out the front door of their fancy lodge. These are minimum security facilities and it appears to me, like they’re a walk in the park for offenders. Why were two murderers considered a minimum threat to the public? Rehabilitating people who have committed crimes isn’t a bad thing, especially for those who show great potential to contribute to society, but why is this option only offered to a certain segment of the population? And bottom line, shouldn’t public safety come first? Shouldn’t a murderer be treated with a little more caution than the guy who stole some diapers for his children?
What can we do with billions of leftover pennies? So long, penny. The one cent coin is disappearing from the lives of Canadians, just as it has already disappeared from the lives of Australians. The official reason is that the coin is no longer cost-effective, as the metal value is worth more than its face value. The unofficial reason, for myself at least, is that pennies are annoying, a bit of clutter that makes the wallet heavier and, when forgotten in garments, the washing machine louder. I won’t miss them. But now that they’re being removed from circulation, we still have to figure out what we’re going to actually do with the remaining coins. Let’s be clear here, a large number were produced every year, 662,750,000 in 2011 alone. We have billions of pennies, mostly found between couch cushions, and no real practical use for them. Well, less of a practical use for them, at least, since the only previous use – annoying people behind us in line while we dig out exact change – has been rendered obsolete. It is now time to think of creative ways to use the most useless of coins. The most obvious, and most practical, would probably be for a charitable donation. I’m not suggesting that this become the only charitable donation one makes, but if that’s where all of our pennies go it could add up. Charities across the country are doing penny drives, collecting people’s little brown coins in
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger order to tie in the death of the currency to the project they are raising money for. It’s a clever way to deal with something people are trying to discard, though the work of rolling and depositing the coins might make some of these groups question whether it was really a great idea. Still, if I see someone requesting some pennies for their cause, I’ll probably throw in the stragglers that live in my wallet. Then again, if you’re not interested in the betterment of your fellow man, you could also hoard pennies. Since it’s going out of circulation, the Royal Canadian Mint is planning on melting down the pennies it can get its hands on. This is going to be a long
process, it’s estimated that it will take three or four years. That’s three or four years that you can spend collecting as many pennies as possible, sealing them away, and hoping that perhaps that example from 1985 will somehow become the rarest of the lot, highly prized by collectors. Maybe that penny will be so worthwhile to collectors that you can retire off of the funds raised. Or, maybe it’ll be a bust, and you’ll be stuck with an attic full of useless coins. That’s the joy of collecting as an investment. One can even get creative. A quick search of craft marketplace etsy.com reveals people turning pennies into jewelry or other forms of art, including a big ball of pennies. Collect enough, you might even be able to make a couch out of pennies, an artistic statement about the final destination of most coins that are carelessly tossed into pockets. The possibilities are endless, and since there are still several billion pennies out there, there’s a ton of material that can be used for all manner of creative expression. The penny was an instantly recognizable bit of currency, but thanks to outside factors has long been a mostly useless piece of currency. Now that it’s dead, we can choose to either honor it, or toss it away to get melted down to its core components. Honestly, I just want to be rid of the stupid things.

Your letter of the Week
Merit pay for teachers not a bad idea
Ignoring the housing need
To the Editor:
Education minister Jeff Johnson got the attention of the Alberta Teachers’ Association when he recently mused about introducing merit pay for Alberta teachers. Predictably, the ATA harshly condemned Johnson’s proposal and vowed to fight any attempt to incorporate merit pay in teacher compensation. One of the main arguments the ATA gave for opposing merit pay was that it does not boost student academic achievement. However, there is no evidence that the current salary grid promotes student achievement either. Under the current salary grid, only two factors matter in teacher compensation – years of teaching experience and years of university education. John, with six years of university and 15 years of experience gets paid more than Doris, with five years of university and six years of experience. End of story. It doesn’t matter whether Doris happens to grade more papers, teach better lessons, coach more sports teams, or serve on more committees than John. Even though most people would agree Doris is the better teacher, John is higher on the grid and consequently receives a higher salary. In the ATA’s view, that is exactly how it should be. Eric Hanushek, an economist at Stanford University who specializes in education policy, spent many years analyzing the research on teacher effectiveness. He found that additional years of university education have almost no impact on a teacher’s effectiveness. The correlation between experience and effectiveness is more identifiable, but still only modest at best. In other words, if improving student achievement is our primary focus, one would never set up a teacher’s salary grid the way
it is right now. On its website, the ATA approvingly cites Harvard economist Roland Fryer’s critical review of New York City’s failed merit pay plan to buttress its case against merit pay. However, the ATA ignores Fryer’s more recent paper in which he identifies a successful experiment with merit pay in Chicago Heights, Illinois. In his 2012 paper, Enhancing the Efficacy of Teacher Incentives through Loss Aversion,
“...if improving student achievement is our primary focus, one would never set up a teacher’s salary grid the way it is right now.” Fryer describes how he and his fellow researchers discovered that teachers who were given a $4,000 bonus at the beginning of the year and told to pay it back if student achievement fell below expectations, got significantly better academic results from their students than teachers in the control group where no incentives were provided. Thus, the ATA is wrong in claiming that there is no research evidence for the effectiveness of merit pay. Another argument often used against merit pay is that there is no agreement on what constitutes good teaching and such subjectivity makes it impossible for administrators to identify and reward good teachers. This argument is so specious as to be laughable. Any parent with kids in school knows full well that some teachers are better than others. In addition, a candid conversation with a group of high school students about their current teachers should dis-
abuse anyone of the notion that all teachers are equally effective. There is also abundant research evidence that some teachers are better than others. John Hattie is Professor and Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute at the University of Melbourne. In his 2009 book, Visible Learning, Hattie synthesizes the results from thousands of research studies to identify which practices have the biggest impact on student achievement. Needless to say, some are considerably more effective than others. Introducing merit pay to Alberta does not mean the existing pay grid must be completely thrown out. Rather, merit could be incorporated as an additional component of the salary grid. Teachers would still receive increases for education and experience, but would also receive extra compensation as they move through several merit levels. Just as universities distinguish between assistant, associate, and full professors, school administrators could establish different levels for teachers based on their performance. Evaluation criteria for promotion to a higher merit level could include student academic performance, classroom observations by the principal, extra-curricular involvement, and professional development activities. The ATA could even take an active role in helping administrators design meaningful professional growth standards. Merit pay for teachers is a reform worth considering. While developing an appropriate merit pay plan would undoubtedly be a lengthy and thorny process, it could provide an effective way to reward teachers for what really matters. Giving additional rewards to outstanding teachers is something the ATA should be able to support. Michael Zwaagstra, Troy Media Corp.
Why do Conservatives hate Kevin Page? To the Editor: It was almost exactly a year ago now that Stephen Harper jetted off to Switzerland to give a speech to the world’s economic elite, announcing that Canada could no longer afford its Old Age Pension program, and he would soon cut it back. That program to help low and middle-income Canadians has been in place since 1952. Subject to income-related eligibility rules, it provides a monthly payment to each individual Canadian when he/ she reaches the age of 65. The total cost of doing that is currently about $36-billion. That amounts to a modest 2.2 per cent of our GDP. This makes Canada’s
Old Age Pension one of the most affordable social security programs in the whole world. Similar systems in other countries use up 10 per cent or more of their GDPs. Ours is a bargain by comparison. But Mr. Harper says the impending retirement “bulge” caused by all those post-war Baby Boomers, soon turning 65, will blow the bank. He claims the Old Age Pension will become too costly. So, he says, the eligibility age must be changed – from 65 to 67 years. That will save big money, right? Not really. If no changes are made, the cost of Old Age Pensions will increase by the year 2030 to consume about 2.9per cent of GDP. That’s up from 2.2 per
cent today, but still a small total cost by global standards. With Mr. Harper’s changes, pension costs will still rise, but only to about 2.6 per cent of GDP in 2030. So all-in, the saving to the federal treasury is a rather tiny 0.3per cent. Clearly, there can be no allegation that Old Age Pensions are unsustainable. Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page pointed all this out, last February – just a couple of weeks after Mr. Harper’s erroneous claims in Switzerland. The PBO’s findings were later confirmed by the Auditor-General. Something similar happened on the Conservatives’ proposed purchase of F-35 stealth fighter-jets. First,
the PBO disclosed the Harper government’s colossal mismanagement and dishonesty in this multi-billion-dollar procurement boondoggle. And then the Auditor-General confirmed he was right. Time and time again, this pattern has repeated itself. Kevin Page has been fearless in blowing the whistle on incompetence and deceit. That explains the tirade against PBO this past weekend by Finance Minister Flaherty – ironically, just as he was jetting off to Switzerland for this year’s meeting of the world’s rich and famous.

Only an equal sharing of power will work
To the Editor:
A recent study from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that Canada’s best-paid 50 CEOs breezed through the end of the recession with earnings 235 times higher than the average Canadian income earner in 1991. For comparison, the earnings of these first 50 CEOs were 85 times higher than the average income earner 16 years before, in 1995.
I am not sure there are words to fully express my feelings with regards to these stats. Some words, though, can help me express the reasons behind such discrepancies - words that we would need to name and repeat if we wish to put an end to such a situation. They are: selfishness, contempt, cynicism, corruption, abuse and patronage. And if we want to push deeper, they are: political parties financing, lobbying, propaganda,
media concentration, diversion of democracy and nonworking democracy. I am sure Canadians do not only think this is unfair. An increasing number of them must also realize that only an equal sharing of powers – which is what would be a real democracy – would lead us towards an equal wealth sharing. Bruno Marquis, Gatineau, QC.
To the Editor: While cities and provinces are working hard on the pressing lack of affordable housing for Canadians, MP Garry Breitkreuz and the Conservatives are quietly getting the federal government out of it. An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are homeless and thirteen percent don’t have access to affordable housing with enough bedrooms for their family. Some families of nine live in apartments for two because that’s all they can afford. Our housing needs are not being met and the instability this causes in people’s lives has a tremendous economic cost – you can’t prepare your resume on a street corner. Nor is it cheap for taxpayers: the costs of medical care, shelters and day programs for the homeless are more expensive than providing them a place to live. Yet instead of putting resources in to fix the problem, the federal government is actually pulling back support. Over the next ten years, federally-funded mortgages are coming due for housing co-operatives that provide affordable housing. Tied to those mortgages are operating agreements that provide vital funding for the co-ops and there are no plans to renew these subsidies. Without them, over 200,000 of the most vulnerable Canadians could lose their homes. The Conservatives are quietly booking $1.6 billion in annual “savings” from this cut to affordable housing and have no plans to reinvest the money. And that’s not the end of it: the federal Investment in Affordable Housing Program expires in 2014, but the Conservatives have still not begun negotiation for its renewal. It could get rolled into a general infrastructure fund, moving this money out of housing. Why is this happening? Because Mr. Breitkreuz and the Conservatives believe housing is a provincial responsibility and want to get out of it – they even said so in the 2006 Budget. That’s just wrong. The Liberal Party believes that the opportunity to succeed begins with a roof over your head. By investing in affordable housing, the federal government could help put some of the most at-risk Canadians back on their feet, living healthy lives and contributing to the economy. It’s time the federal government to do more for affordable housing, not less. John McCallum, MP Liberal Party Housing Critic.

Godfrey Dean kicks off exciting new year By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is kicking off 2013 with a new art show by a local artist. Sarah Jane Fougere has a new exhibition of paintings on display at the gallery. The work is a mix of portraits and landscape paintings, most of which are “painted from life,” quickly painted to capture the people and scenes in a natural place. The style developed from a series depicting 100 Calgary artists. Fougere says that the project was a great jumping off point, allowing her to develop her style and learn as she worked with the different artists in the area. That project lead to Fougere continuing to paint quickly and sometimes in a live setting. She says that painting rapidly is something which she feels makes the paintings more direct and better able to capture what she sees. “I like to see a painting with really fast brush strokes, almost like a train of thought... It’s almost like every little mark you make is a letter in the alphabet describing your surroundings and I see my paintings as a short essay. There’s not too much rendering, you can see the process and thought pattern that makes the picture whole,” she says. She says that speed is also important for portraits just for the sake of the people sitting for them. Her goal was to make it go quickly because it’s hard to ask people she doesn’t know to sit for such a long period. “If I can get it to be the length of a movie, I can say ‘you can sit for a movie right? Let me paint your picture.” At the opening, Fougere painted a portrait live, and she says that portraits are rewarding not just for the work, but for the shared experience between her and the model. She says that in some cases, she has become life-long friends with people she met through the portraits. “It’s an actual meeting and an encounter, and I think that brings something to the work as well.” Many of the paintings are on masonite, which Fougere says she uses for a combination of convenience and aesthetic reasons. She says that part of the reason is because they fit well in her painting box, but also because it allows her to work with the material instead of fighting with it. She says that the brown of the masonite is a neutral color that can work well with the look she is trying to achieve. Fougere has moved back into the area recently, and says that it’s great to be back. She’s enjoying the opportunity to work more for herself and continuing evolving as an artist. She says that she’s grateful for the opportunities that a show at the Godfrey Dean can represent, and she hopes to connect with people in the area more as she continues to work. The immediate future has Fougere working on her next show, taking some of her smaller paintings from a time spent in Alaska and turning them into larger, more ambitious pieces. She says that the paintings in the field are there to capture a moment and place, and the larger work will be used to flesh it out and make a more layered and striking.

Potash equals community, growth and safety Recently, I received a brochure regarding the impact of potash mining on the province and beyond. For those living in the Esterhazy area, home to some of the world’s largest potash mining projects, you are likely well versed when it comes to the importance of the potash mining industry. For those less familiar, here are a few facts: • Potash is a mineral found underground at varying depths. Once mined, it can be combined with nitrogen and phosphate to create an important fertilizer for crops such as coffee, rice and corn. • In our area alone, the potash industry directly employs well over 1,500 people with countless other contract and spin-off jobs linked to mining. Throughout Saskatchewan the potash industry employed 5,841 workers in 2011, either directly or through contractors. • In 2011, those employed by the potash industry received $687 million in wages and benefits. Much of that
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz income was spent by workers and their families purchasing goods and services from local businesses and merchants. • Saskatchewan is the leading mineral producer in Canada, and potash was Canada’s leading mineral by value of production in 2011 at $8.0 billion. • In 2011, the potash industry contributed $947 million in provincial taxes, royalties and municipal taxes. • Despite having such a large economic impact, mining in Saskatchewan occupies only 0.1 per cent of the province’s total landmass. Coincidentally, as this column was being developed, I received word of a fire underground at one of the Esterhazy
mines early last week. Our mines have a long standing commitment to safety and ensuring the well-being of their employees. In Saskatchewan there are over 130 safety professionals employed by mining companies and over 1,000 emergency responders trained at mine sites. Most of these emergency responders use their training outside of the work environment and volunteer with their community fire departments or as first responders. With the training and safety practices in place, it’s no surprise that all 318 miners at the Esterhazy mine were safely brought to the surface just a few hours after the fire broke out.

How will we celebrate Valentine’s Day? Say it with love Valentine’s Day, is a day when love is celebrated with cards, chocolates and flowers – showing our affection for people we love. It can also be a day of increased pain and sadness for the bereaved. After the death of a loved one, our hearts can feel shattered and broken. We may find it difficult to assemble a complete train of thought. It may be hard to keep our heart open when we have been hurt and traumatized by a loss. Many feelings can come to mind, making it hard to feel much of anything, but we need to focus forward to the path of healing. Making a list of our feelings may help us to identify them and work through them. It is good to take some time to identify our feelings and openly accept them. Staying busy can be a blessing. Chances are you’ve heard advice similar to the following: “Get out of the house! She wouldn’t want you to stop living your own life.” There is much truth in those words. Get together with others and play a board or card game rather than watching movies, (unless there isn’t a hint of
romance in them.) This is one day when a romantic movie can be very painful. Instead, focus on a new project that you really enjoy, such as board games, cards or enjoying the vast outdoors. This year I encourage you to plan ahead for Valentine’s Day. Early in February create a buddy system with someone else who is grieving. Exchange cards, order in some food and share that meal together. Often going out to eat can be very painful on this day- so do a takeout meal and enjoy it with a friend. We can turn our love to other treasured family members. Valentine’s Day is marked as a day for LOVERS but it isn’t limited to them. February 14 is a time to focus on all those we love, such as our children and grandchildren and our friends. Focusing on the love we have within our circle of family and friends will help put a positive outlook on our day. Love comes in many different kinds of relationships. We need to celebrate the people we have around us each day and give God thanks for them. Each day we have the

David is a Grade 12 student who is described by teachers as accepting, responsible, and is a leader. He is involved in sports and divides his time and dedication equally to both the extra-curricular and academic activities he is involved with. David also demonstrates commitment to his church and his community. He is the type of student who pursues excellence and he is well respected by his teachers and his peers for doing so. Elizabeth Reid is the YRHS December Female Student of the Month. Elizabeth is a
FROM MOURNING TO JOY... Column by Margaret Anne Yost opportunity to tell our family we love them, but Valentine’s Day is an excellent day to convey that message. Try to focus on all of the blessings we still have in our life, and on all of the love that we still can enjoy. By reaching out to someone else we will not only help them, but we will be helping ourselves as well. While the blues might well be a realistic part of our Valentine’s Day experience, we need to take steps to reconnecting with our feelings and with others. This will also keep an open path for healing. If Valentine’s Day feels too big to handle on our own, it may be a good time to find a counselor or therapist who can help us through this difficult time. We have a support group in town where the bereaved can come together and share
their feelings. This is a community of people who understand our feelings and are able to offer us support. Life is a combination
of laughter and tears. We should all appreciate the good, and know that when bad things happen in our lives, we are not alone. We have a Creator who is walking beside us, allowing us to take one small step forward-one step at a time. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step. Margaret Anne Yost worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse for 35 years. Returning back to
school, she completed classes from the Red River College in the areas of Gerontology, Bereavement, Death and Dying. For twelve years she worked in bereavement support at a funeral home. At present Margaret Anne is employed as an Interim Parish Worker at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Melville, Sask. She also enjoys her roles as homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 28th of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Hello, hello! What do you know! We got snow! You remember from previous years don’t you? That white stuff that melts and turns to ice on the roads? Or the blustering white out coming at you when you get passed by a transport truck? The white stuff from which you can build igloos and snowmen? Or even have a friendly snowball fight? Time to get out the snow boots and parkas, as well as the shovels and scrapers. But in our case, ready the tractor and the snow blower. As we sit here and watch the snowflakes landing on the lawn, we are making a list of all the things that we were supposed have done before winter, but never got around to. They will be spring projects now. Deer hunting season is on. Most hunter use rifles
or bow and arrows, but in my family the weapon of choice is my truck, only I’m not the hunter! My grandson Connor had an appointment with a bone specialist in Regina, so grandma and his mom “borrowed,” well actually I let them use it, my truck for the trip. On the way home, in the dusky dark hours of the evening, they had an encounter of the deer kind. It seems that these four legged venison menaces believe they can cross the highway wherever they want, and not the same place twice either! This one particular stag ran into the ditch when it saw the truck coming, only to change his mind and charge the side of the truck. Did he think he had competition for his doe? Or did he just not like my truck! He scared the heck out of our daughter, but more so my wife who saw the antlers coming right at the side window. Good thing the glass didn’t break! It is time, however late, to gather firewood for the wood stove. It will save us
a lot of money over the cold winter months. So, into the bush we go to take down standing dead trees, you know the ones where the top has sheared off; the tree is leaning but hasn’t fallen down yet. Probably black poplar and we will buck them up. It is seasoned wood as they have obviously been standing for over a year, and if we keep them in a covered place away from moisture, they will be dry enough to burn just fine. Going through the bush like that is called “bushwhacking,” and I know how that expression came about. We force ourselves through the underbrush and small flexible trees. My wife leads the way, and as the small trees bend over where she vigorously makes her way through the brush, they will snap back and whack me on the head. No more warnings like “watch your head” that she would say when we are riding the horses, just “follow me!” These dead trees are very light and easy to haul back to the yard to be
bucked up. Ole a Norwegian logger went up Vancouver Island to Campbell River to apply for a job. He walks into the local wood mill’s office and fills out an application. It’s his lucky day as the position had not been filled yet. But first the bush foreman takes him for a ride in his company pickup truck to find out how much Ole knows. The foreman stops the truck at the side of the road and points at a tree. “See that tree over there? I want you to tell me what species it is and how many board feet of lumber it contains.” Ole promptly answers: “It’s a citrus spruce containing 383 board feet of lumber!” The foreman is impressed. He drives on again and stops about a mile down the road. He points to
another bigger tree of a different class, and asks the same question. “It’s a Douglas fir and has about 690 board feet of lumber,” says Ole. Now the foreman is really impressed. Ole had answered quickly and got the answers right without even using a calculator! One more test. They drive a little farther down the road and stop. This time the foreman points at a smaller tree. Just as the foreman pointed, Ole says: “That’s a cedar and it has about 242 board feet of lumber!” The foreman turns the truck around and heads back to the office. He’s a little cheesed off because he thinks that Ole may be a bit smarter than he is. Just before the office the foreman stops the truck and asks Ole to step out-
side. He hands Ole a piece of chalk and tells him: “See that tree over there? I want you to mark an “X” on the front of that tree.” The foreman thinks to himself: “I got him this time! How would Ole know, or for that matter, how would anybody know which is the front of a tree?” When Ole reaches the tree, he walks around it in a circle while looking at the ground. Then he reaches up and place a white “X” on the trunk. He runs back to the foreman and hands him the chalk. The foreman chuckles and asks Ole sarcastically: “How in the hell do you know that’s the front of the tree?” Ole chuckles and smiles at the foreman: “Because somebody deposited a big poop behind it!”

Again this year we are living in a wonderful winter wonderland where many residents and visitors can enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing, skating and ice fishing. Local members of the Yorkton Sno-Riders Club have spent many hours this fall and winter clearing, grooming and signing trails for everyone’s safety and enjoyment. The Club reports that all trails have been recently groomed and the shelters are continually being stocked with wood and supplies for the convenience of all riders. Trails are in good condition, however, they are at the mercy of winds and mother nature. The Prairie Women on Snow who ride across Saskatchewan to raise money for breast cancer began their annual ride on Friday, February 1 in Big River and end in North Battleford on February 8.

The Hamlet is working overtime this year to keep the streets cleared of snow. It is hoped that the extra work done this fall to clean the waterways will pay off in the spring.

DAWSON MACAULEY continued to shine in goal for the Terriers over the weekend despite his shutout streak ending at three games. MacAuley made 31 saves in a win against the Hounds and shined against Weyburn/Estevan to continue his winning streak.
Terriers extend winning streak to seven By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer With the Humboldt Broncos shockingly winning the Alex Forsberg sweepstakes at the junior trade deadline and becoming the talk of the SJHL, the Terriers have showed that they aren’t going anywhere yet as of late. Dawson MacAuley has ran with an increased role in between the pipes and Jeremy Johnson has went on a scoring tear and all of a sudden the Terriers have won seven straight games and sit back atop the SJHL standings with five games to play. A weekend slate that saw the Terriers host the Notre Dame Hounds and the Weyburn Red Wings on back to
back nights gave a feeling that Dawson MacAuley’s consecutive starts and shutout streak would come to an end, but MacAuley got the start against Notre Dame and was phenomenal once again as he made 12 saves in the opening period to extend his shutout streak for another twenty minutes. Tyler Giebel scored his seventeenth of the year on the powerplay to make it 1-0 Terriers after the first period. Another Terriers powerplay goal, this time by Curtis Oliver made it 2-0 before Notre Dame ended MacAuley’s shutout streak at three games with two quick unanswered goals to tie the game at 2-2. Defensemen Blaine Thomson provided the unlikely end to MacAuley’s streak with his fifth goal of the season, but
Brenden Poncelet got quick revenge with a goal just before the end of period in a flurry of action that saw three goals in the second period’s final two minutes. Giebel added another powerplay goal just twenty nine seconds into the third and the Terriers staved off the Notre Dame pressure for the rest of the period to take a 4-2 win in a game where Notre Dame outshot the Terriers in a rare occurrence at the FAA this season. MacAuley was brilliant once again despite the end of his shutout streak, making 31 saves and improving his record to 12-5 after a streak that will serve as one of the individual highlights of the 2012/13 Terriers season.

Harvest lose late lead to Regina in slow weekend By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer With games at hand over much of their SMAAAHL counterparts, the Harvest enjoyed a one game week to kick of the final month of the regular season as they headed to Regina to take on the Regina Pat Canadians in the province’s capital on Saturday night. The Pat Canadians have had the Harvest’s number in their previous meetings, stealing the win from Yorkton late in the third period in the previous two games and were looking to make it three games in a row in which they took points off the streaking Harvest.
Jaden Kreklewich got the Harvest out to an lead early off his tenth goal of the year and made it his second straight game with a goal after potting one against Beardy’s the prior weekend. Lynnden Pastachak got the lone assist in a goal that served as the first periods only goal with the Harvest entering the opening intermission up 1-0. Kreklewich’s goal came just thirty seconds into the first and floored the Pat Canadians who regrouped to outshoot the Harvest 9-7 in the opening frame. A quick goal was not in the cards in the second period, but Dakota Odgers did give the Harvest the first goal of the period to extend the Harvest’s lead to two and
gave them another chance to finish off a lead against the Canadians. Emery Anderson took the momentum back to the hometown Pats with a goal with 1:59 left in the period to make it 2-1 Harvest and put the pressure back on Carson Bogdan to hold off the Canadians rally in goal and prevent another Regina comeback for the third straight game. A Mitch Lipon unassisted shorthanded goal tied the game up as the Kamloops Blazers prospect notched his eighteenth goal of the year to make it 2-2 as the Harvest blew another late lead to Regina.

Johnson, MacAuley continue to shine in Terriers final month By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer With back to back games it was expected that Kale Thomson was to get his start on Saturday when the Red Wings came to the FAA, but MacAuley’s 31 save performance was enough for coach Trent Cassan to give him his fifth straight start in goal. A second run at a shutout streak was not to be as Weyburn struck first to make it a 1-0 game midway through the first period before Jeremy Johnson scored his twenty third of the season to tie things up at 1-1 to end the opening session at the FAA. Nathan Murray put home a shorthanded tally to give the Terriers a 2-1 lead that proved to be the turning point as Johnson added another highlight reel goal shortly after, embarrassing a Red Wings defender before sniping in his 24th of the season to make it 3-1 Terriers after two. In the third the Terriers poured it on, scoring four goals in the final frame. Tyler Giebel started things off with a powerplay goal early before Johnson got his third of the night to make it 5-1. The hat trick gave Johnson his 25th goal of the season, becoming just the fourth player to reach the plateau in the SJHL this season. Kailum Gervais and Patrick Martens got in on the fun late with goals of their own and the Terriers rolled to a 7-2 victory.
Johnson, who now has had two hat tricks at the FAA this season, admits that being from Yorkton gives him an added boost at times when the Terriers play at home saying, “I have lots of friends and family who come to see me play and they give me a little bit extra when I know people are out supporting me.” Saturday’s game marked the end of a busy week for the Terriers, as they had only one game on the schedule between then and a February 13 clash with the Notre Dame Hounds, giving the Terriers some time to recover aches and pains in a stretch that sees the Terriers play just six games in nineteen days. That one game was a Tuesday night clash with the Estevan Bruins at Spectra Place as the playoff hungry Bruins were looking to end the Terriers win streak and improve their playoff odds. MacAuley took his sixth straight start as he looked to continue the Terriers win streak on the road. Nathan Murray struck first for the Terriers, continuing his scoring form as of late with a goal assisted by Tayler Thompson and Brady Norrish to give the Terriers first blood on the road. Scoreless hockey filled the majority of the game as MacAuley and Estevan’s Curtis Martinu turned down every scoring chance in sight for much of the first and second periods as the game
crawled into the third with the Terriers still up 1-0. Estevan tied things up midway through the final period, sending the game into overtime where Johnson played the hero yet again, putting one past Martinu just 1:02 into the overtime frame to continue the win streak. MacAuley was huge yet again in his sixth straight win, stopping 24 shots and bolstering the huge amount of confidence Terriers coach Trent Cassan has had in him as of late. MacAuley credits his recent run to both his coaches and his players and explained he is taking everything as it comes saying, “I had a talk with coach before my first start of
the shutout streak and I felt I needed to step my game up, and I have never had a run of play like this before in my career at any level and it has really been special, but I am not taking anything for granted right now and want to just keep working.” Cassan has credited MacAuley’s play to confidence and being relaxed saying, “There was times this year where Dawson would come out one night with an amazing performance and the next game let in two early goals and get down on himself and as of late he has seemed looser and has been putting us in a position to win every night, especially against Notre
(Lorresta & Ike Harris)
off positioning and that is going to help us in knowing that we need to win those important battles on the road that are different than what you see when we play at home.” Five games in nineteen days close out the Terriers season with three points separating them from Humboldt atop the league, with a hot goalie and a team that seems to be back running at all cylinders the Terriers will be looking at clinching the Sherwood and regular season SJHL titles. We are little under a month away from playoff hockey and it seems that for now the Terriers are more than ready for it.
YORKTON TERRIERS AND BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS teamed up for a community mentorship program recently. Dylan Johnson, Austin Buzzell, Daylan Gatzke, Patrick Martens, Brenden Poncelet, and Dallas Rossiter were thanked for their support in helping the Terriers community mentorship initiative.

Dame where we were outshot at home for the first time in a long time.” With five games left Cassan made it clear that the Terriers job in goal is still not going to be a guarantee saying, “When you have two good goalies you can ride who is hot and Kale Thomson will get a chance at some starts like we have been doing all season.” With three of the Terriers final five games on the road Cassan mentioned that they will be experiencing a challenge that will prepare them for the playoffs saying, “We will be going into a lot of tough buildings with teams that will be looking to get into play-

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 7, 2013 - Page 17A
Super Bowl wrap up: The final word on Ray Lewis Another year, another Super Bowl in the books as the Baltimore Ravens won one of the more interesting NFL championship games of recent memory. Surviving a near half hour power outage at the Super Dome to hold onto their lead with a 34-31 victory that came down to the final drive of the game as usual with most Super Bowls. Jacoby Jones was electric with a touchdown grab and a record setting 109 yard kick return. Joe Flacco entered the realm of elite quarterbacks with his first Super Bowl ring and will be getting paid come free agency this spring. Colin Kapernick finally looked like a rookie at times as the vaunted Ravens defense ended the era of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis with one last show of dominance, causing multiple momentum turning turnovers throughout the game. It was a great Super Bowl, one that was not expected at the start of the season or even heading into the conference championship games delivered a handful of storylines for people to run with, yet one night in Atlanta thirteen years ago once again needed to overshadow what was a great conclusion to the NFL season. Throughout twitter on Sunday, the disturbing tweets like the ones Patriots fans made about Torrey Smith’s dead brother crept back up as Ray Lewis won his last Super Bowl. Tweets involving the unfortunate incident during the 2000 Super Bowl in Atlanta in which Ray Lewis and two other people were involved in a stabbing incident outside of a nightclub during Super Bowl week surrounded the social media force that is twitter on Sunday. It should have been no surprise that one of the most divisive men in the game’s history overshadowed everyone else in his final game, but here it was. Everyone was going to have their final take on Ray. Ray Lewis potentially could have stabbed some-
one that night in Atlanta, nobody knows. It is a classic “whodunnit” story, a fight erupts outside of an Atlanta nightclub, a scuffle ensues and Ray Lewis and the two people he was with rush off into the city in their limo. Something that could happen leaving a club every Friday or Saturday night in every city in North America happened and due to the unfortunate problem we have in our society with weapons, two people happened to get stabbed. Yes, it is a very unfortunate situation and the pain of the families of the deceased probably still linger even nearly thirteen years to the day, but should being in the wrong place at the wrong time define a man? Especially a man who was never found guilty of murder? A man who has drastically changed his life in a positive direction since his lowest moment arguably deserves to be forgiven of his past. Lewis has became a family man, a popular public speaker, attempting to help others avoid the mistakes he made, does this deserve hatred? Ridicule? No. Does making light of the death of two people make Ray Lewis the bad person, or does it make you the bad person? If this unfortunate incident is to define an entire human beings life, are you any better for making a joke about it? Yes when we evaluate the career and life of Ray Lewis that night should always be mentioned, just as in this column the mistakes of the likes of Lance Armstrong and others has been evaluated. However, this isn’t an on field transgression, this is one of personal matters. If Ray Lewis wasn’t the vocal man of faith who played for the Baltimore Ravens, you wouldn’t even know of this murder and to be frank Ray Lewis would probably be sitting in jail for life for a murder he did not commit himself. Everyone’s life in this situation would have been ruined, and you wouldn’t have cared. A group of black men go-

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig ing to jail for a stabbing outside of a nightclub in Atlanta? It would be backpage news the morn-
ing after, and it certainly wouldn’t warrant a follow up thirteen years later. Chalk this one up to
another case of how celebrity culture turns people into holier than thou when it comes to how people in the public eye are judged. In 2000 Ray Lewis was still just what many would consider barely an adult, a few years removed from college at the University of Miami and finding his way in the world as a young adult. I would safely assume that 95 per cent of the people judging Ray Lewis wouldn’t be comfortable with the lowest
moment of their early twenties being viewed under a microscope under the public eye. May the two men murdered that night rest in peace and the two men in jail right now and Lewis himself live with the fact they ended the lives of two young men, but let’s all realize that the Ray Lewis after Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans is not the same Ray Lewis as that fateful Super Bowl Sunday in Atlanta. That’s my final word.

Raiders take third place in YCC, Saints show improvement By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Year three of the York City Classic is in the books as both Yorkton schools built some confidence at their home tournament with strong weekends in different ways. The Raiders rode big wins over Prince Albert carlton and undefeated Swift Current to third place in this tear’s York City Classic while the Saints showed sings of a move in the right direction with a 2-2 record to finish in seventh place. The weekend tipped off on Friday afternoon as the Raiders took on Lumsden at the YRHS Gym. A weaker Lumsden team than in recent years when they produced University of Saskatchewan standout Matt Forbes proved no match for the Raiders who came out flying to a lopsided victory in which the YRHS starters saw plenty of rest in the second half in anticipation for their Friday night clash against the undefeated Swift Current Colts. Bryce Tomcala was solid for the Raiders at the center position in the win for the Regional. Over at the Halo Dome the Saints beat defending provincial champs North Battleford in a sloppy affair that saw both teams turn the ball over well over twenty times apiece in the opening group stage game. A 65-61 win over the defending 4A champions would see the Saints go into their Friday night clash with Carlton with a chance to win Group D if they could pull off an upset. The Friday night games saw both Yorkton teams come out strong to start, the Raiders were in tough against a top notch Swift Current team that came into the YCC undefeated and hoping to be among the tournament favorites come semifinal Saturday, while the Raiders were looking to notch their first win of the season against top ranked 4A competition. A first quarter where both teams felt each other out saw the Raiders score in transition off inspired defense and excellent point guard play from grade twelve leader Daniel Mandziuk, but Swift Current’s three point shooting prowress kept them in it early as both teams ended the first quarter tied at 19-19. Swift Current’s shooting continued to be an Achilles’ Heel for the Raiders as the Colts controlled the game from the perimeter for much of the second quarter and if it wasn’t from great role play from Darien Kequahtooway, Tyrell Ulmer, and Alex Popoff the Raiders would have been in trouble at half, but the score remained 37-36. In the second half the Raiders defensive intensity finally took over the game as the Raiders outhustled Swift Current in the game’s final twenty minutes and buoyed by one of Ben Redl’s best games as a Raider ran the Colts out of the building in a 75-68 win to end their undefeated season and send the Raiders to the semifinals on Saturday afternoon against prince albert St. Mary’s. Sacred kept things interesting in the first half of their game against Carlton and despite a great performance by Brendon Walkington, could not find the scoring needed to take advantage of their effort on the glass and in their 2-3 zone, eventually getting blown out by Carlton after being down just six points at halftime.

The Raiders closed out their weekend in the bronze medal game against Prince Albert Carlton, and despite rolling their bench for much 2013 YORK CITY CLASSIC action ended Saturday with a YRHS double overtime win of the second quarter, the over P.A.

Harvest look to climb standings going into homestand Cont. from Page 15 Logan Herchak took advantage on the powerplay shortly after to give the Harvest the lead once again with just 7:23 left to kill to secure the elusive win over the Pats. With twenty three seconds left Tristan Frei put the dagger back in the Harvest’s hearts with the latest of tying goals. Despite outshooting Regina 8-3 in the final period the Harvest ended up having to settle for a 3-3 tie with Bogdan stopping 23 shots to extend the Harvest’s unbeaten streak to eight games. With the Blazers winning out on the weekend the SMAAAHL standings have now became congested going into the Harvests final seven games with four teams one point away from being seeded anywhere from fifth to eighth in the playoffs.
HEARN’S WESTVIEW PHARMACY
Tisdale, Battlefords, and the aforementioned Blazers will serve as the Harvest’s main rivals in the final month, with the Harvest playing the Trojans and Blazers once each in their final seven games in two matchups that will be likely difference makers come the end of the season with the Harvest trying to avoid a meeting with the Prince Albert Mintos in the first round eight seed against one seed matchup. This week will see the
Harvest close regular season play at the Farrell Agencies Arena as three home games will serve as the 2012/13 regular seasons final action in Yorkton. A weekday meeting with the Trojans will set the playoff atmosphere going into the weekend where the Harvest will get to play the already mathematically eliminated Notre Dame Hounds before a final meeting with the Pat Canadians set for Sunday afternoon. With four tough road
games to close out the year, the Harvest will be looking to grab all possible six points in their quest to finish the regular season in away from the seventh and eighth seeds to improve their odds of advancing in the first round of the playoffs. With a spot in the playoffs a near guarantee at this point, the playoff picture has now became a question of where the Harvest will land when the dust is settled come the end of February.

Pee Wee AA Terriers win prestigious Regina Classic Tournament By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer It was a long anticipated week for the Yorkton Sherring Gold Pee Wee AA Terriers. On Wednesday night they travelled to Estevan for Game 1 of the second round of Pee Wee AA Provincial Playdowns before heading to play in the 21st Regina Pee Wee Classic Tournament. The Terriers beat Estevan by an resounding score of 13-1. The Estevan game was important as it gave the team confidence heading into the Pee Wee Classic Tournament which the next day. The tournament was last won by a Yorkton team seventeen years ago which was captained by local product and NHL Star Jarret Stoll. The Hockey Regina Pee Wee Classic Tournament is the largest Pee Wee Tournament in Western Canada, featuring 32 teams from across Western Canada. Top Pee Wee Players and Teams from Winnipeg, Regina, Centre Four Hockey League, Southern and Northern Alberta were all represented, along with the Yorkton squad who were coming in with a 16-0 record in league play for the tournament. NHL Players such as Jay Bouwmester, Devin Setoguchi, and 2012 NHL Lady Byng runner-up Jordan Eberle have played in the tournament over the years. One of the Yorkton teams goals at the beginning of the year according to coach Chad Korczak was to capture the Regina title, so they had their sights set on the championship trophy from the opening faceoff. Yorkton was grouped with Regina Sabres, PA Raiders and Foothills Bisons in pool play, defeating all 3 with relative ease with scores of 11-3, 7-2 and 9-4 respectively to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals the Terriers went up against one of the top teams from Northern Alberta, the Beaumont Braves. The Braves were a quick and well rounded team, however the Terriers caught them off guard, potting 4 quick goals early in the game. This was quickly erased as the Terriers were caught on their heels later in the game enabling Beaumont to tie up the game late in the 3rd period. The Terriers refocused and potted a goal late in the game to give the Terriers an extremely nerve wracking 6-5 victory to advance to the semis. The stage was now for a heavily anticipated semi-final game vs the Winnipeg Railcats. The Railcats were known for their strong defensive style of hockey in which they outscored their opponents 34-4 in the first 4 games on the tournament and are sporting a 24-0 record in Winnipeg Pee Wee AA League Play. They Railcats also made it to the final of the prestigious Quebec International Pee Wee Tournament last year, making them the tournament favorites.
The Railcats had a distinct advantage boasting all second year players to the Terriers mix of first and second year players second year players, so the Terriers needed everyone to step up their game Yorkton was able to break the ice with an early 2nd period powerplay goal, however the Railcats answered back with two of their own, leaving them up 2-1 after the second period. Yorkton battled back on the powerplay netting two quick goals early in the third to reclaim the lead and never looked back, winning 5-3. Cont. on Page 20

Yorkton team sees personal bests at Sled Dogs meet By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Nine athletes from the Yorkton Legion Track Club attended the annual Sled Dogs Track & Field Meet in Saskatoon. Athletes from all over Western Canada attended the meet ranging from ages of ten years old to athletes in university. “We had some great milestones yesterday at the annual Sled Dogs in Saskatoon,” said Marcel Porte, Team Manager of Yorkton Legion Track Club. “Some of our club members were hitting their personal bests, others competing in an event that they never have before and one athlete hitting a milestone that he never thought he could achieve.” Jaden Porte made an achievement of a life time in track & field beating Greg Hetterley (western Canadian 1,200m + 2,000m Champion from Regina Queen City Striders ) and Matthew Johnson (runner up 1,200m + 2,000m champion also

from Regina Queen City). Jaden’s time for the 1,000m was 2:40.26 earning him the gold, while Hetterly’s time was 2:40.53 for second and Mathew was 2:46 getting third place. “Greg and Matt are the toughest competitors that I have been running against,” said Jaden Porte. “Hard training has really paid off from a great coach, Kirk Flaman, as I finally beat my two main competitors.” Ben Koroluk and Grady Hawkins had great times making their personal bests in 800m Midget, with Ben getting second in the aforementioned 800 meter event. Ethan Field from Langenburg had a great day beating some great athletes from all over Saskatchewan. He was
competing against two heats for the 60 meter race. He advanced to the final and got bronze for the YLTC.

Grand Opening
Cont. from Page 19 The 5-3 win gave the Terriers momentum heading into the final, beating the tournament favorites and giving their first year players confidence that they could hang with the older and more experienced teams in the tournament. The final would be against one of the top teams from Edmonton, the NWZ Renegades. The players knew the excitement and crowd that the championship game would draw, as each player was introduced under the spotlight as they skated onto the ice and lined up for O’Canada. There was a definite home town feel for the Terriers as they were not only representing Yorkton but many Pee Wee Teams from across Saskatchewan were rooting for them. A five on three penalty kill was killed off by the Terriers early off a 5-3 penalty early sparking the Terriers to double the Renegades in shots for the rest of the period. Against a very hot goalie from Edmonton, the game was held scoreless after one. The Terriers broke through in the second with the first goal and rode three more in the third period to notch a 4-1 win and take home the Pee Wee Classic for the first time in well over a decade. Coach Korczak was elated for his team saying, “It was one of our goals all season to win this tournament after coming close last year and the returning players gave us that added fire after losing last year and really helped our first year pee wee’s who in turn stepped up and our team spirit showed in the final two games.” A moment these young kids will remember for a lifetime was etched in Regina as the Pee Wee Terriers took home an elusive gold.

Boost your Business without Cutting your Prices Smart business people know that your options to stand out from the competition are limited… Cut prices? Not very profitable. Improve product quality? Certainly, but that can take substantial time
Jeff Mowatt Customer Service Strategist Bestselling Author Certified Professional Speaker
“Our results using Jeff’s concepts have been tremendous, with overall sales up over 300% compared to last year.” Jim Bobst, Manager, CUETS
and money. The fastest, most cost-effective way to differentiate yourself is to focus on your service. Customer service can no longer be merely average or simply friendly; it needs to be remark-able. Here’s your opportunity to make that happen for your team…
Attend Jeff Mowatt’s half day seminar, “The Art of Customer Service… Influence with Ease” Jeff believes that today’s customers no longer value you as an information provider. For information, customers can search Google in less than a second and it’s free. Free is worthless. Fortunately however, there are 3 core elements that customers do want from you–better yet to receive them, they are willing to pay a premium. You’ll discover how to apply these 3 elements so you’re perceived less as an information provider or order-taker, and more as a Trusted Advisor. Plus much more.
