Health Foundation preps for a busy year

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Health Foundation judges a year based on whether or not it was able to buy equipment and expand services, explains Executive Director Ross Fisher. Based on that measure, 2012 was a successful year. The big project for 2012 was new ultrasound equipment, which allows for more tests to be conducted in the region and reduces waiting times. A new service for the area was the lymphedema service which was recently put in place. Fisher says it’s not some-

“Our goal is to provide services to prevent people from travelling outside the area to access services. The more you keep things local, the more likely people will actually go for tests...”

thing that will affect a huge number of people, but that it’s something that will make a huge difference to the people it helps, since they no longer have to go to Regina two or three times a week to get the treatment. “When we do things like the lymphedema service, or when we put in place new equipment for the maternity ward or buy equipment for the lab or ICU, we don’t really run campaigns for those because you’re raising money for a $25,000 piece of equipment... But, we probably spend a couple hundred thousand dollars a year on equipment like that,” Fisher

says. One of those small purchases was warming pads for operating rooms. Fisher says that it’s new for the area, but keeping patients warm is something that is good during surgery. He also notes that a hundred thousand dollars on equipment outside Yorkton, as he says

that all patients in the region need equipment. He notes that the majority of big campaigns are for adding services in the city itself because everyone uses it, and it allows for specialized services, but it’s still important to serve areas outside of the city. “Our goal is to provide services to prevent people

from travelling outside the area to access services. The more you keep things local, the more likely people will actually go for tests, get their diagnosis in time, take their kids and do that early enough to have a real effect. Often, getting early diagnosis, for all sorts of things, like breathing disorders for example, it’s important to do that while they’re still young and growing, because those conditions can cause permanent scarring for their whole life...” The community plays a major role in the Health Foundation’s projects, both in raising funds and

finding projects, Fisher notes. He says that there have been several projects, such as the new lymphedema service and the pulmonary function testing equipment, were driven by patients in the region bringing up need for the services. The beginning of the year saw the completion of the conceptual plan for the new hospital. Fisher says that it’s a slow process, especially since the government has other health care spending on its agenda. He expects that 2013 will see more discussion and movement on the facility.

Group urges retaining public ownership

THE CHEMOTHERAPY WARD at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre has been upgraded, with new equipment and a more welcoming color scheme. Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation, and Jean Bryski of the Sasktel Pioneers, show some of the new equipment, including a new chair and a vital signs monitor.

Local chemo care boosted By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s difficult to go through chemotherapy no matter where you are, but new upgrades at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre are designed to make the treatment easier for local cancer patients. The Sunrise Health Region and the Health Foundation recently unveiled a newly upgraded ward. The ward, which saw 160 patients in the month of November, received upgraded chairs, new vital signs monitors, and a new television for patients. The ward was also repainted blue, a shade selected through consultations with patients, chemotherapy nurse Dawn Chrisantos says. “It really helps them, because it helps them feel more relaxed and feel more at home,” Chrisantos says. As a nurse, Chrisantos says that working with chemotherapy patients is something she enjoys because she understands what they’re going through, especially since her mother has also had cancer. She says that the renovations

will make it easier for patients to go through treatment. The total cost of the changes was $11,000, raised from different community groups says Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation. He says the goal was to make a space that will make it easier for patients, and expand the ward to meet the needs of the area. “It’s part of a process of continually improving the environment we have for people,” Fisher says. One of the major contributors to the project was the Sasktel Pioneers, who contributed $4,500. Jean Bryski of the Sasktel Pioneers says that the group is focused on health and education, and helping improve the ward fits in with the group and its goals. “I don’t think there’s one member of our group that hasn’t been touched by cancer at some point in time,” Bryski says. Fisher thanks the different people and groups in the community who have supported the renovations through their donations.

The future of the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) pastures the Federal Government recently returned to the Province of Saskatchewan may be in jeopardy, says a new group of rural and urban citizens who are throwing their support behind the growing number of people who want to see these lands retained under the Crown and managed professionally both for the long term benefit of livestock producers and for grassland conservation. Public Pastures – Public Interest (PPPI) is a group of conservationminded Saskatchewan residents who are urging the Government of Saskatchewan to ensure that these irreplaceable grasslands will continue to serve the broader public interests of all Saskatchewan people. “We support the position taken by many producers, PFRA pasture patrons, and farm people around the province,” says naturalist Trevor Herriot, spokesperson for PPPI. “The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities and Agriculture Producers of Saskatchewan both passed strong resolutions requesting the Government of Saskatchewan retain ownership of the PFRA Pastures. We agree and hope we can work with others to ensure the pastures will be managed well for local agriculture and for conserving soil, water, and biodiversity.” PPPI members are concerned that if this transition for the 62 PFRA pastures in Saskatchewan is not handled well, the lands could end up in the hands of corporations or groups who for any variety of reasons are unable or unwilling to continue managing them in ways that balance short term profit with the

wider, long term interests of conservation. “Right now, these pastures still belong to all Saskatchewan people,” adds Herriot. “They are ecological, historical, and cultural resources that we should treasure and steward carefully for our children and grandchildren. They contain critical wildlife habitat, but also important archaeological sites in landscapes that evoke our history as prairie people: the natural prairie that supported our First Nations for millennia, the stories of the early open range ranching outfits, and finally our survival of the Dirty Thirties when the PFRA pastures were founded as a conservation initiative.” PPPI maintains that this conservation work is, if anything, even more important today, because the province is down to less than twenty per cent of its original native grassland. This loss of habitat, among the most extensive on the continent, is the reason why the Great Plains Region of western Canada contains more Species at Risk than any other part of Canada. Well managed native grass sequesters carbon and conserves biodiversity, and soil and water quality in ways that cultivated landscapes cannot match. PPPI is part of a growing community of urban and rural people in the province – farmers, ranchers, First Nations people, scientists, hunters, naturalists, and prairie enthusiasts of all kinds – who believe that the security of these pasture lands for livestock producers, conservation values and the people of Saskatchewan can best be served by the province retaining ownership of these last large vestiges of native grasslands.

Foundation set for a busy year Con’t from Page 1. With the growing population and increasing number of services provided in the area, the current hospital is now the biggest obstacle for expanding services, due to the difficulty of renovation as well as the simple matter of a lack of space suggests Fisher. Since this is such a large project, he expects it to take six or seven years before the facility opens its doors. Part of that time will be working with the provincial government to plan the facility, as well a just building it, which he expects will cost a total of $300 million. “It will be, outside of the mines, the biggest project we’ve had in this area.” With that larger project comes different ways of raising money. The Radiothon will grow much larger, and Fisher says that the plan is to have a month of community involvement that comes to a head in the two day event. They will also be part of a farming project to grow some crops to raise money. Fisher says that the full details of this project will be released closer to seeding season. “We’re expecting this to have some good results, but it will also involve us in something we haven’t really done for a while.” Funds raised from these projects will be directed

towards a fund for the new hospital, and other fundraising efforts will be used to raise money for today, rather than the future. He says that the annual golf tournament and charity road race are two of the biggest events for the foundation, both in funds raised and community involvement. He notes that funds from both go to new equipment, and the golf tournament raises money for equipment throughout the region, to reflect the different teams that participate.

The immediate future will see the completion of efforts to raise money for the STARS heli-pad, which will need to be completed by March. Fisher says $100,000 is necessary to complete this project. There are also plans to expand the chemotherapy program in the new year, in order to provide treatment for more types of cancer. Otherwise, the plan is to find out what services make sense for the area, through consulting the professionals in the region as well as community members.

As individuals or groups, volunteers help their communities in many ways, from organizing activities for children with disabilities to fundraising

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz for community projects. The number of hours they donate is the equivalent of nearly 1.1 million fulltime jobs. Many businesses make a positive impact in their communities. Some organize fundraising events to generate donations for charitable organizations. Some offer their employees paid time away from work to volunteer. In 2010, over half of all employ-

ees who volunteered said that they had received employer support to do so. Not-for-profit organizations help build stronger communities. In Canada, 161,000 registered charities and not-for-profit organizations work to improve the lives of others. Many have forged new partnerships with other organizations to find solutions to social issues in their community. Last year, over 750 nominations were received. The first recipients of the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards were honoured at an awards ceremony held on December 14, 2012 in Ottawa. With almost half of all Canadians volunteering, there are many more who deserve to be nominated—let’s make sure their valuable work is recognized.

A night of jazz coming down the tubes in Yorkton “I think this is true of jazz in general, what we’re doing is having serious fun. We’re having fun in a serious way. I don’t think it has to be either or, and that’s kind of what jazz is to me.” – Ian Sinclair

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton will have an opportunity to enjoy an eclectic night of jazz. A Series of Tubes and the All That Jazz Big Band are putting on a show at the Army and Navy Club on Sunday, January 27. A Series of Tubes is an instrumental electronic jazz trio consisting of Ian Sinclair on electric keyboards, Mark Godfrey on electric bass and Mackenzie Longpre on drums. Band leader Sinclair says that the band’s goal is to have fun with blending jazz with more contemporary popular music, like hip hop, R&B, electronia and indie rock. Sinclair says that it’s not a sound that requires a great deal of knowledge of the different genres to enjoy, but that it’s all about bringing everyone a good time. “I think this is true of jazz in general, what we’re doing is having serious fun. We’re having fun in a serious way. I don’t think it has to be either or, and that’s kind of what jazz is to me,”

A SERIES OF TUBES will be coming to Yorkton, bringing a unique style of electronic jazz that takes a blend of different sounds and combines them into an accessible and fun new mix. The show is January 27 at the Army and Navy, and also features Yorkton’s own All That Jazz Big Band. Sinclair says. He says that combining different genres and music with jazz is a natural fit, because it’s

Fish red tape reduced

In time for the 2013 angling season, the Ministry of Environment amended The Fisheries Regulations to reduce red tape while continuing to protect fishing in Saskatchewan. “Saskatchewan’s freshwater fishing is some of the best in the world,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff says. “As a government, we can build on the experience for residents and visitors by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of managing the province’s fishing resources.” Reducing the red tape for most competitive fishing events, the amendments will eliminate or streamline the licence requirement. Such events have become an increasingly popular means of raising money for a variety of organizations and a licence will no longer be required for individuals or organizations wishing to hold a competitive fishing event as long as they follow standard requirements. To ensure that fish stocks remain healthy for anglers, the amendments will help prevent the introduction of high-risk diseases into Saskatchewan, including Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (VHS). VHS is a viral disease that has been detected in frozen bait fish from other jurisdictions and has the ability to spread to live fish. Frozen fish from jurisdictions known to have VHS will be allowed for use as bait only if they can be certified to be free of the disease.

something that has been done in the genre since its early beginnings. Bringing in sounds of current popular music is similar to how older jazz ensembles would work with the pop standards people are familiar with. There is also a bit of an ‘80s reference in the music, as some of the sounds used are reminiscent of synthesizers and games of the era. Sinclair says that there is a bit of an ‘80s revival going on in popular music at the moment, and it’s something his group has included as well, though he emphasizes that it’s not something they do exclusive-

ly. “It’s special to me this group for that reason, it has that current sound to it.” Sinclair has studied and performed all around North America, and is currently completing a Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance) at the University of Toronto, but it’s Yorkton where he was born and raised, and started on the path towards his current career. “I think that there is such staunch support for music in the community is certainly what allowed me to consider it as a possibility, the career I ended up with.

Parent Mentoring Program of Saskatchewan “Working together to support and strengthen families”

The Parent Mentoring Program of Yorkton would like to thank the Painted Hand Community Development Corporation for their generous donation to their Christmas Celebration. The program was able to provide families with a wonderful traditional Christmas meal as well as gifts for all the families. The Parent Mentoring Program’s mission is to support and strengthen families by providing encouragement and information to expectant parents and parents of young children. This is accomplished through mentoring relationships and group activities within their communities. Thank you Painted Hand Community Development Corporation for making Christmas extra special this year from the staff and families of the Parent Mentoring Program

More importantly, I saw it having a really positive effect on the people I knew, both socially and in having first hand experience with something they wouldn’t have any other way. It’s really great that there’s still a legacy of that in the city, both in the schools and in the resurgence of the adult program,” Sinclair says. The All That Jazz Big Band, lead by Larry Pearen, is opening at the performance, and Pearen was also Sinclair’s first band leader.

“Pearen was really important to me just for being really positive, supportive and enthusiastic, which is really his legacy with everybody. Certainly that’s what made him great as a band leader, but also what makes him great as a parent, as a member of the community and just as a human being. I owe him a great deal, he continues to serve as a local inspiration and model for a lot of people,” Sinclair says. Sinclair says that the different teachers, leaders and people in the city are a major reason why he was able to make music his career and find success doing so. The show is Sunday, January 27 at 7:30 p.m at the Army and Navy Club. Tickets are available at the Army and Navy, Freedom Sound, Fuzztone Music and Saddles and Steel. 13012PP02

Taser technology under review It’s not lethal and it helps to ensure the safety of Saskatchewan’s police officers as they keep our communities safe, so why wouldn’t we allow them this option? Police officers are already armed with guns. They are trained and capable; it only seems logical to arm them – in today’s ever increasing violent societies – with tasers as well. Just over five years ago Regina’s police service decided to pull tasers or conducted energy weapons (CEWs) as they’re more formally called, from most members until an official decision was reached on the “controversial” weapons. Since then, tasers have been limited to SWAT team members and discussions have continued. Today, the topic is being revisited and the province is looking at a reinstatement of the weapon. “It provides one more option in terms of use of force that’s non-lethal,” says Regina Police Service Chief Troy Hagen. “When confronting a suspect for example, that’s wielding a knife in a threatening manner – obviously distance is a consideration, and depending on the suspect’s actions – that type of instance can afford an opportunity to safely arrest the suspect without resorting perhaps to deadly force... Obviously it’s a safe option for the officer and as importantly, it’s safety for the suspect or culprit as well. We always want to use the least amount of force possible in any circumstance.” Over the past several years much study and work has gone into reviewing the effects tasers have on people and there’s no question this can be a viable tool to help officers do their jobs. While one would like to think tools like this aren’t necessary, it’s just not the case. “There’s a high degree of scrutiny in terms of any use of force, and CEWs would fall under the same umbrella,” says Hagen. “The chiefs association has certainly been working towards if they were to be reinstated that there be a provincial guideline, really a standard policy throughout the province in terms of its usage and reporting. “... It’s a use of force option that ultimately, is going to assist in public safety in our communities.” Taser up, and let’s create a safer Saskatchewan.

The right to bear arms – or not? We may have our own little issues with gun control laws in Canada but I’m thinking they pale in comparison to the problems they’re currently experiencing in the US. Many across the states are wondering if gun laws south of the border are too lax in the wake of the tragedy that happened recently at a small school in Newtown, Connecticut. Sadly – as most couldn’t help but be aware – 20 children, all aged six and seven – along with seven adults were brutally murdered at the hands of a disturbed gunman who walked into the school and open fired. Just four days after the incident, there was a call for tightened laws and it’s being supported by President Barack Obama as well as a number of pro-gun politicians and investors. Currently in the US, it seems most anyone can own and tote a gun – hand gun, assault rifle (like the one used in the school shootings), you name it, it’s available to the public. Obviously, looking at happenings like what has just taken place (and this isn’t a one time incident), something needs to change – both when it comes to gun laws and school security. Some say we should start training and arming teachers. An interesting thought, but REALLY? Is handing out more guns to

people who work in classrooms really the answer? I’m thinking not. What they could do though, is to start scaling back on what the average citizen is permitted to have on hand. “I am a law abiding hunter and I own two firearms,” Shannon Deveau says one voice on the issue. “I see absolutely see no need ever to possess handguns or semi autos. There is zero justification for this. As far as clips holding more then five rounds, this is just as bizarre. Keep in mind that many people who own these guns are not hunters. They are crazed preppers who think the world is going to end and are armed to the teeth to protect themselves. The only thing they need protection from is themselves. When I hunt I have never put more then three rounds in a chamber. I look forward to the day when firearms are more tightly controlled.” While nobody enjoys the thought of being over legislated, clearly some control needs to be exerted. There is absolutely NO reason the average US citizen needs to be armed with automatic or semi-automatic assault weapons – especially with no training, licensing or back ground check. It’s time for change and if this recent tragedy doesn’t prove that, I can’t imagine what will.

The way I see it... Column

How to make controversy out of nothing at all The Government of Saskatchewan has a new logo, and it’s about time. The old one, a stylized wheat sheaf, was limited in scope and dated in style. While wheat was a foundation on which the province is built, basing your government’s marketing efforts around it is somewhat limiting, and a logo that’s in a dated style just makes it look like the province is behind the times. It’s not the image that we want to project. The new logo, which is an upward swoop on top of the province itself, is more in line with the image the province wants to project. It’s more modern, and having all of the lines directed upwards is supposed to imply things moving up and getting better. It’s a trick used by many organizations to try to project positivity, but it’s something appropriate for a government. So it looks good and projects a positive image for the province. What’s not to like? Well, if you’re the provincial NDP, and also seemingly desperate to create a controversy, you are going to object to the color scheme. See, the new logo is green and gold, which is similar to the party colors used by the governing Saskatchewan Party. They’re not the exact same shades, but the NDP believes they’re trying to make over the province in their image.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger This is nonsense, and anyone with any grasp of the province’s long-standing color scheme will recognize. The colors are green and gold, which are two of the three colors prominently displayed on the provincial flag. The third color, orange, is used by the NDP. Using green and gold in materials relating to the province makes sense because it ties into the flag and they are generally associated with Saskatchewan. Gold has been used on government materials for as long as I can remember, and the green used in the logo is necessary to provide a bit of contrast, and compliments the gold used. Yes, the Saskatchewan Party also uses green and

gold, but that’s to be expected. They also happen to use the province’s name in their party, and that provides a bit of a clue as to why green and gold have a prominent place in their color scheme. They are trying to evoke Saskatchewan, and as a result picked the two colors most associated with the province itself. What the NDP is failing to realize is that green and gold just happen to be the standard provincial colors, and this is something that predates the Saskatchewan Party. They’re so caught up in their political rivalry and trying to get one up on the ruling party that they’ve forgotten about the history of the province itself, and the origins of the color schemes they’re trying so hard to reject. When the opposition came out against the new logo, my first thought was that they surely have better things to do. They need to get a new leader, rebuild their base, and start to become a viable alternative again. That won’t happen if all they’re doing is trying to start fights about little things that aren’t actually controversial, and are getting caught up in bickering rather than presenting a real alternative to the ruling party. Trying to start a fight about this logo makes them seem out of touch with the province, so focused on usurping their political rivals that they forget the flag that flies outside of their own offices.

Your letter of the Week

Gov’t must ‘get real’ about climate change

When will we be free to choose?

To the Editor:

American President Barack Obama asserts that ‘stopping climate change’ will be a major focus of his second term. Because our climate policies are closely tied to those of the U.S., the Canadian government must get its act together on the issue. If they don’t, we will be swept up in increasingly expensive programs that many in the Conservative party, Prime Minister Stephen Harper included, must know are utterly futile. Before first forming the government in 2006, Harper promised that the Conservatives would re-examine the file and handle it more sensibly. But they haven’t. Here is how the Government is letting Canadians down on climate change, and what they must do differently in 2013. Despite strongly opposing the Paul Martin government’s decision to add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the list of toxic substances in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), the Conservatives have left the benign gas on the list. This provides the legal foundation for costly and useless CO2 emission regulations now being imposed across Canada. CO2 is not toxic and so should be immediately removed from a list that includes mercury, lead, arsenic, sulfuric acid and PCBs. Billions of dollars are being wasted trying to reduce CO2 in other ways as well, all based on the improbable assumption that emissions contribute to climate problems. Most egregious are pointless and potentially dan-

gerous projects to stuff CO2 underground. The funding for such speculative programs must be transferred to worthwhile environmental initiatives such as cleaning up toxic waste dumps and reducing air pollution where it is a problem. To further reduce CO2, vast sums of money are also dedicated to wind and solar power, energy sources that have little chance of becoming economical in the foreseeable future. This raises electricity prices and drains funds away from upgrading conventional power systems we need to survive. The Government needs to stop throwing good money after bad. All government climate programs focus on possible warming impacts. The far more damaging effects of cooling are ignored. A drop of 2 deg C will result in the loss of virtually all of our wheat harvest, while, if it warms, we simply adopt farming practices used to the south of us. We must concentrate on preparing for dangerous possible climate change, and that is unquestionably not warming. Environment Minister Peter Kent promotes a worldwide climate treaty based on the United Nations Cancun Agreements. But Cancun has an out-clause for developing countries that is not available to the developed world. A treaty that lets China and India, but not us, off the hook will simply transfer our wealth and jobs to them. Kent must stop promoting what is, in effect, another Kyoto Protocol. To substantiate its climate

plans, the Government continues to use the alarmist rhetoric of previous Liberal governments. Kent is clearly being misled by bureaucrats within Environment Canada who assert that there is no credible evidence to support the climate skeptics’ perspectives. The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) demonstrates that this is not true. Citing hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers, the NIPCC shows how the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has ignored or misinterpreted much of the research that challenges the need for CO2 controls. In other words, the science being relied upon by the Government to create multibillion dollar climate and energy policies is almost certainly wrong. Harper must order ministers to stop taking their talking points from David Suzuki while completely ignoring well-qualified scientists who do not support the climate scare. Why feed the fire that threatens to burn down Canada’s economy? During the height of the oil sands pipeline controversy, the Prime Minister asserted “the only way that government can handle controversial projects of this manner, is to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” 2013 is the year they must do this on climate change. Tom Harris, Ottawa, ON.

Canada’s government should be idle no more To the Editor: Over the past few weeks, a remarkable movement has taken shape among indigenous peoples in Canada. It’s called “Idle-NoMore”. Beginning with four women from Saskatchewan, the movement is driven largely by women and youth using social media like Twitter and Facebook. With the advice of elders, it’s committed to peaceful public events highlighting unacceptable realities in the lives of First Nations people, the Metis, Inuit and others. Their spontaneous activities have reached across Canada and beyond. The initial spark was Stephen Harper’s second Omnibus Budget Bill (C-45). In that incoherent hodge-podge of dozens

of unrelated measures – all lumped together to prevent intelligent scrutiny – the Conservatives slipped-in several items that detract from the inherent rights of indigenous peoples, including weakened environmental rules and intrusions on First Nations’ land. There was no prior consultation or consent. It was totally arbitrary. But Idle-No-More is about more than C-45. It’s about this government running roughshod over Treaty Rights – something the Conservatives were bluntly warned about by none other than former Cabinet Minister, Jim Prentice. It’s also about Mr. Harper’s failure to take any meaningful action to help build some genuine hope for the future following his

2008 “apology” for the tragic legacy of Indian Residential Schools. All those fine words are proving vacuous. And then, just over a year ago, along came the housing crisis and human misery at Attawapiskat. The government’s reaction was a combination of indifference and scorn. They were shamed into meeting with indigenous leaders last January, but 12 months later the results are nil. In the spirit of IdleNo-More, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence is now on a hunger strike in Ottawa, trying to get Mr. Harper to pay some attention. He doesn’t seem to realize that he has a personal constitutional obligation toward Chief Spence and all other Aboriginal people. What’s needed is a re-

kindling of the hopeful sincerity that generated the “Kelowna Accords” of 2005. It took 24 months of personal effort by thenPrime Minister Martin to establish the trust and respect upon which progress could be based – engaging the federal government, all provinces and territories, and all national Aboriginal organizations. Sadly, that groundbreaking initiative was cancelled the moment Stephen Harper took power. And nothing of consequence has been accomplished since. On things that indigenous peoples need, the Harper government has been painfully idle far too long. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

A distinction between schooling and learning

To the Editor:

The Saskatchewan government has done the math and determined that 950 hours of instructional time is better than 197 days. Their math appears based on the linear equation y = mx where “y” equals hours of schooling, “m” instructional time, and “x” number of students. In the shift to 950 hours, Saskatchewan Rivers School Division (SRSD) estimates it must add 40 instructional hours to the school year. As SRSD has x = 9000 students, schooling will increase from y = 910x = 8,190,000 hours to y = 950x = 8,550,000. As the government does not ad-

dress the issue of where teachers are to find the additional instructional time, I suggest these hours come from time wasted sleeping or rejuvenating family time or that ridiculously long summer holiday. I recommend teachers avoid using productive hours currently spent preparing student-centered learning experiences after the school day has ended or the countless hours involved in extracurricular activities with students building trust and relationships. The government must be confident every student has a positive learning experience so no student would ever consider the equation shifted from -910x to

-950x. Why, if x = 379 students in SRSD found school negative, it would wipe out the total increase. Please remind your MLA (http:// www.legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/) there is a distinction between schooling and learning – schooling can be measured by counting the bodies in attendance while learning requires minds at attention. Better yet, suggest they study the book Finnish Lessons and learn how less schooling can mean more learning. Nancy Carswell, Shellbrook, SK.

To the Editor:

My daughter’s Christmas concert was a vast improvement over last year’s debacle. Gone were the chants of “Gung Hay Fat Choy!” for the Chinese New Year which doesn’t even arrive for another six weeks. The Indian National Anthem was also happily absent, and our National Anthem was first instead of third on the program. Also gone was that incredibly bizarre First Nation song, sung in a language that even First Nations people don’t speak anymore. All in all, a welcome relief considering that other cultures – important as they no doubt are in the history of humankind – have absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So hats off to Principal Macfarlane and Vice-Principal Benoit who wished everyone a Merry Christmas! They adorned the walls with festive greetings, replacing all the multicultural paraphernalia of last year with Peace, Spread the Spirit, Kindness, Love, Laughter, and, of course, a hearty Merry Christmas. It was like your team making it to the playoffs after sitting in last place for the whole season. Spectacular! There was even some political commentary in the play about the importance of giving. A Scrooge-type character said, “I can’t donate to your Christmas charity because I have to pay the stupid Carbon Tax!” Another curmudgeonly character groused, “I can’t donate because I have a huge cell phone bill this month!” Of course, being characters in a school play, both eventually “wised up.” But I was struck by how apropos their words were since every dollar the government taxes away from its citizens is a dollar less we can give. Likewise, Canada’s public-private, overregulated communications monopolies that control our phone, cell phone and cable TV market, are free to charge us close to triple what our neighbours to the south pay for these basic services. This further diminishes the amount of money Canadians have left to give to those who need it most. The statistics back this up. Americans give far more money to charity than Canadians do. In fact, per capita, and as a percentage of GDP, Americans are the most giving citizens in the world. And don’t you think it might have something to do with the fact that they’re taxed less than the rest of us? (So far at least.) And please don’t be fooled by those phonybaloney anti-American studies you can find online that purport to show “New Zealand, Australia and Ireland emerging as the three most charitable nations,” and which list the United States tied with Switzerland for fifth place. These studies looked only at the percent of the population giving to charities, not the actual AMOUNT of money being given. And that’s what matters when it comes to giving. These liberal studies also looked at the percentage of the population who may have helped a stranger in the last month, important for sure, but something which is not verifiable through any objective means such as a tax return. In any case, if there’s one thing every experiment in socialism and communism proves, it’s how easy it is to eliminate all three of the most important human aspirations, hope, peace and giving, through over-taxation and overregulation. Will Canadians ever be free so we can choose whom to give our money to rather than being forced to give to liberal causes against our will through the federal tax code? For an answer to this most pressing question I defer to that most famous Republican, a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association, who on Christmas Eve 1967 famously said, “I still have a dream.” Anyone care to take a guess at who that was? God bless you, one and all. Mischa Popoff, Osoyoos, BC.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - Page 7A

The farmer is trained Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 24th of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

TRUCKLOAD OF FOOD – In the month of December, Yorkton Toyota held a food drive to help out the Soup Haven. The end result was approximately 300 lbs of food to help out less fortunate people in the community. Pictured above (l-r), Max McInnes, Krista Pawlik and Brian Nelson from Yorkton Toyota present Kathy Connors from the Soup Haven with the food.

Employment sets records Saskatchewan job numbers closed out 2012 with a monthly record high of 539,800 employed people in December, according to the labour force survey released by Statistics Canada today. December’s increase of 16,300 over December 2011 marks the 13th consecutive month where records have been set. “2012 was a very successful year for our province, with strong job growth of 2.1 per cent and jobs up by 11,200 from the previous year,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd says. “We are working diligently to encourage even more people to choose Saskatchewan as their place to live, work, do business, and raise a family, and are looking forward to an equally successful 2013.” Saskatchewan’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 4.6 per cent was once again the second lowest in the country. Nationally, the unemployment rate was 7.1 per cent. Other year-over-year highlights include: • Saskatchewan’s growth rate of 3.1 per cent was the third highest among the provinces; Full-time employment increased by 11,400 for 20 months of record monthly highs and part-time jobs increased

by 5,000; • The goods producing sector was a key contributor to strong employment growth of 10.8 per cent which includes gains in construction, agriculture, manufacturing and forestry, mining, oil and gas; • Regina’s employment was up by 2,800 (2.2 per cent) for 32 months of year-over-year gains, and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 7,100 (4.9 per cent) for 14 months of year-over-year gains; • Regina’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.3 per cent, the lowest rate among all Canadian major cities; • The seasonally adjusted youth unemployment rate was 9.9 per cent, once again the second lowest among the provinces; and, • Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 500 (1.3 per cent) in 2012. “Saskatchewan is in an enviable position – we are seeing growth all around us,” Boyd said. “The Saskatchewan Plan for Growth has laid out a very clear direction for the province and that will mean more growth, more investment, and more people working and living here.”

Royal Ford preps for big move Royal Ford in Yorkton is putting the finishing touches on its new leading edge facility, and will be set move into the new location at 81 Dracup Ave toward the end of January. The new structure will cover 37,000 square feet, that’s approx. 20,0000 square feet larger than the current facility. The new location for Royal Ford will offer a drive through service bay, ensuring customers are able to stay warm while waiting for their vehicles to be serviced. The new Royal Ford will also have an ex-

panded parking lot, a family friendly, enhanced customer area, and a beautiful state of the art showroom. The body shop will also be housed in the new facility, making the vehicle repair experience easier and more convenient for customers. “We are very excited about this new building and about how we’ve been able to tailor it to meet the needs of our clients,” says Terry Ortynsky, founder of Royal Ford.

“We’re really pleased at reaching this landmark, but we couldn’t have done it without the support of our loyal customers. We want to say a very big thankyou to all the Yorkton and area residents that have played a role in helping Royal Ford thrive and grow,” he said. The new Royal Ford dealership is scheduled to open toward the end of January.

Fall has definitely arrived and Mother Nature is providing us with a spectacular colour scheme! Cool nights and warm days, but there is no snow in the air yet. We are stepping up the pace to get everything out of storage. Then we also have to gather enough firewood for the winter. My wife has found a lot of dead fall that will be bucked up. Our centrally located wood stove will get a good workout this coming winter, keeping the cost of natural gas down to a minimum. The broiler chicks have shed their yellow baby feathers and are now completely white! They are growing fast and gaining weight. We have opened the flap to the yard, and they are taking tentative steps outside to do some exploring. Of course our dog Lady takes a delight in scaring them back into the coop, by rushing the fence. She’s very proud of her ability to scare the feathers off the chickens, and there is no way we can stop her. After rushing the chickens she prances away with her tail wagging and her head held high. We have tried everything from yelling and growling at her, to grab her by the throat and put her on her back while growling at her, but to no avail. I suppose the bird dog in her can’t help it! She’s a mix between a Black Labrador and a Miniature Collie, so she can’t make up her mind if she should chase birds or herd horses, therefore she is practising both! However, she has more luck scaring the chickens than herding the horses. The horses ignore her for the most part, but when she gets to be too annoying, one of the horses, and they take turn doing this, will lay the ears back and chase Lady out of the corral. Bob was training for a marathon and was running down a country road. He got startled when a horse yelled at him: “Hey, come over here buddy!” Bob was flabbergasted, a talking horse? But he ran over to the fence where the horse was standing. Bob looked the horse square in the eyes and asked: “Were you talking to me?” “Sure was,” replied the horse and continued: “See, I’ve got this here problem! I won the Kentucky Derby a few years back, and this farmer later bought me at an auction.

Now all I do is pull a plough, and I’m sick of it! Why don’t you run up to the house and offer the farmer $1,000.00 to buy me! I can still run fast, and I can make you some money!” Bob thought to himself: “Wow! A talking horse and a fast runner to boot! I could make a lot of money indeed!” He ran to the house and found the old farmer sitting on the porch in his rocking chair smoking a corn pipe. “Excuse me Sir!” said Bob, “but I’ll give you $1,000.00 for that broken down old nag you’ve got in the field by the road!” The farmer looked at Bob, took out his corn pipe and said: “Son, you can’t believe anything that horse says. He was born on this farm and has certainly never been to Kentucky!” An old cowboy’s rule of life: • Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight and bull strong • Don’t name a pig you plan to eat • Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce • Keep skunks, lawyers and bankers at a distance • Words that soaks into your ear are whispered not yelled

• A bumblebee is faster than a John Deere tractor • Meanness don’t happen overnight • Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads • Don’t corner something meaner than you • Don’t squat with your spurs on • Don’t sell your mule to buy a plough • Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance • The best sermons are lived, not preached • Every path has some puddles • If you find yourself in a hole – the first thing to do is stop digging • Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got • Only cows know why they stampede • Always drink upstream from the herd • Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in • If you’re thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around • The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning • Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Sudoku Puzzle of the Week

SUDOKU RULES The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. Completed puzzles are always a type of Latin square with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single digit may not appear twice in the same 9x9 playing board row or column or in any of the nine 3x3 subregions of the 9x9 playing board. This week’s puzzle is hard. See the solution on Page 8.

MATT HRYNKIW shuts the door on the Yorkton Terriers during the shootout of their 4-3 loss to Humboldt at the FAA Friday. The Terriers beat Notre Dame Tuesday to snap their two game losing streak and sit atop the standings with 54 points.

Terriers fall to Broncs, beat Hounds in tough slate By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer SJHL schedule makers this season gave the Terriers a lump of coal for Christmas as the SJHL’s top team has had it’s toughest string of opponents to date to start out the post-Christmas stretch. With the annual New Years series with the Millionaires then a home game with the defending champion and Bauer Division contenders in the Humboldt Broncos finished off with a meeting with second place Notre Dame on the road, the Terriers have been kept busy in the opening two weeks of January. With a loss to the Millionaires on New Years Day the Terriers were looking to prevent a losing streak when they hosted the red hot Humboldt Broncos Friday night. Led by the hottest goalie in the league in Matt Hrynkiw and posting the league’s best numbers in the goals against category the Broncos were heading into the FAA riding high in what could be a preview of the SJHL final come spring. Humboldt struck first as Adam Zbitniff scored for the Broncos in the lone goal of the first period. Patrick Martens tied it up off assists from Zak Majkowski and Chase Norrish midway through the second, but Humboldt scored two unanswered goals that unfortunately squeaked through the legs of Kale Thomson before Majkowski scored one of his own to send it into the third period with a 3-2 Broncos lead. Austin Bourhis continued his impressive offensive spurt as of late with the game tying goal off a pinch from the blueline that put things even at three goals apiece. Bourhis has been playing well as of late and staying out of the penalty box, crediting his recent success to, “Just playing disciplined and trying to stay out of the penalty

MAJOR HOCKEY LEAGUE BANTAM & MIDGET ALL STAR WEEKEND

box and keep my mouth shut to the officials and playing confident hockey to help my team win.” The Terriers dominated the third period and much of the second, but Hrynkiw proved to be the difference maker for the Broncos as his 1.75 GAA shows in coming up with big save after big save in taking the game to overtime. In the shootout all three shooters on both teams were stopped by Hrynkiw and Thomson until Humboldt’s Kameren Ballas potted home the winner for a 4-3 shootout victory and the Terriers second straight loss. Head coach Trent Cassan preached patience throughout the stretch saying, “There are a lot of games left, and we do play (the Hounds) four times in the next two months and other than getting some nice separation in the standings, these games are no more important than any other for us right now.” Dakota Odgers got plenty of ice time against Humboldt, including down the stretch of the tied game, recording a scoring chance and a fight at the end of the second period in a strong weekend of hockey between the Terriers and Harvest. Cassan had praise for Odgers and mentioned having an older brother on the team in John and being friends with many of the players on the roster helps when he does get called up to the team. Cassan also praised Bourhis’ play of late and his +14 plus/minus in December saying, “He is a great veteran defender for our team and plays the game with a lot of emotion and can be counted on to make a big play when it is needed.” After being forced to settle for a point on Friday, the Terriers travelled down to Wilcox to take on the Hounds in what was an anticipated rematch between the two teams who treated Yorkton fans to a classic meeting before Christmas that featured plenty of

physical play and highlights that ended with a Terrier victory. The Hounds were looking to repeat their home success as they won the only game in Wilcox to date and stuck first with Catlin Foley putting the Hounds up just 39 seconds into the game. Captain Devon McMullen gave the Terriers a quick opening goal of their own in the second period scoring just 37 seconds in before Dylan Baer scored his first of the year in what was yet another strong offensive performance from the Terriers loaded blueline. Jeremy Johnson put in his seventeenth of the year to make it 3-1 before Dion Antsin scored for the Hounds to make it 3-2 heading into the third. Nathan Murray put it away for the Terriers with an unassisted goal and an empty netter to make it a 5-3 Terriers victory and pushed their record to 2-1 over the Hounds this season. Kale Thomson earned his second straight start in goal on Tuesday and made all the saves required to win in a 20 save performance, bumping his record to a now impressive 16-4-2 this season. Notre Dame will get another crack at the Terriers in two weeks as they host them once again in Wilcox on January 19. The Terriers will continue their road trip this weekend with a trip up north to face the La Ronge Ice Wolves Friday and the Nipawin Hawks Saturday before returning home to the friendly confines of the FAA to take on the Ice Wolves on Thursday. A busy schedule that sees the Terriers play eight more games of their final sixteen in a two and a half week stretch. Sixteen games are left in the SJHL regular season and the Terriers still have a stranglehold on first place. It is early, but with each passing week it is feeling more and more like this year has the makings of something special.

Harvest stay alive in playoff chase in Christmas return By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

With under twenty games left in the 2012/13 Saskatchewan Midget AAA hockey season the Harvest were heading into weekend meetings with the Tisdale Trojans and the Moose Jaw Generals with one goal in mind, stay in the top eight. After getting a win over the Notre Dame Argos before the break to climb back into eighth place after being one of the worst teams in the SMAAAHL for the first two months of the season, the Harvest would need to keep pace against two near locks for the playoffs if they were to keep above the Saskatoon Blazers for that all important eighth seed. Saturday’s meeting with the Trojans came with the Harvest returning a large group of players back from SJHL action as Dakota Odgers, Lynnden Pastachak, and Eric Meyer all took part in holiday Junior A action before heading back down to Midget AAA giving the Harvest a group of players who were in game form heading into the weekend. The playoff atmosphere of the next two months showed early on as the Harvest jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Two of Eric Meyer’s three goals on the night opened the scoring before Nicolas Pouliot and Turner

Ottenbreit got on the board to make it 4-0, a late Trojans goal made it 4-1 heading into the second but the Harvest were simply in a different class Saturday night. Pastachak scored two goals in the third before Meyer and Korwin Shewchuk added late tallies to give the Harvest an impressive 8-2 blowout win over the sixth placed Trojans. Dakota Odgers, fresh off a solid two game stint with the Terriers where he notched an assist and a fight was the game’s top playmaker with a staggering five assists in his return to Midget AAA and was arguably the best player on the ice Saturday. Meyer and Pastachak also proved why they were also called up to SJHL teams with their offensive performances against Tisdale showing that despite their low standing in the league, the Harvest have future WHL and Junior A talent that allow them to be in any game against any team. After Saturday’s hot start the Harvest took to the FAA yet again this time during the afternoon on Sunday as they took on a Moose Jaw Generals team that they took three of four points off of on the road in December. With the Saskatoon Blazers losing on Saturday night to the Battlefords Stars

the Harvest had a huge opportunity to greaten their playoff odds yet again with two points off a Generals team they had beat and tied less than a month ago. However, the kind of quick start the Harvest had on Saturday night was nowhere to be found as the Generals scored three goals in the opening ten minutes, including a controversial one involving goaltender interference on Carson Bogdan that lead to a crucial goal for the Generals. After the slow start the Harvest settled in, but could not gain any valuable momentum in a game that was scoreless and uneventful on both ends for the remaining 50 minutes in what was a 3-0 win for the Generals. Head coach Jeff Odgers was not happy with the interference on the Generals goal but had no excuses saying, “We should have cleared out the puck and it didn’t matter in the end because we came out flat and couldn’t get it done.” Odgers was happy with the play of his team during the Trojans game and the big contributions of his SJHL call ups, “It is a huge boost to our players games when they get called up to an SJHL/WHL team and gives them a little bit of an extra boost and motivation from playing at the next level which is big for our team” said

YORKTON HARVEST split two games at home in their return to regular season action at the FAA. A home battle with the Notre Dame Argos is on tap for this week with playoff implications for both teams sitting at seventh and eighth respectively. Odgers. Carson Bogdan had a solid weekend in goal, making 31 saves against the Trojans and 33 saves in the loss to the Generals. Odgers had nothing but praise for Bogdan saying, “He made some huge saves for us on a odd man rush early in the Tisdale game and a save on a turnover that led to a breakaway and the kid stepped up and made four of five huge saves that allowed us to pull away.”

Premier Cabinets Terriers give back By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

out December, going door to door in their efforts to give back. With the campaign “Your House, Our House, Every House Deserves a Happy House” the Pee Wee Terriers accumulated $1, 421.82 for the Shelwin House which was presented on December 21 at a Pee Wee

Premier Cabinets Terrier home game. The Pee Wee Premier Cabinets Terriers would like to thank all who helped or donated in their fundraising effort in helping them raise money for the community during the holiday season.

The holiday season is all about giving back, and the Premier Cabinets Yorkton Terriers got in the giving spirit as they made a December fundraiser for the Shelwin House alongside Yorkton Minor Hockey. Tammy Biblow, part of the pee Wee hockey club’s support team explained the process the club went through in their charity efforts, “The mission of Noel Budz’ Pee Wee Hockey Club, along with his support team of Jason Forwood, Tom Courville, Brent Stein and Tammy Biblow, is to make sure his players bring credit to themselves, the team and Yorkton Minor Hockey. One of the ways they did that this year is to pick an organization that they felt needed support over the holiday season.” The team chose Shelwin House as their choice of charity recipiPREMIER CABINETS TERRIERS raised money for the Shelwin House over the holient and campaigned days, accumulating $1,421.82 in donations for the House.

Front Row: Wyatt Forwood, worthy cause through- Zack Biblow, Michael Coleridge, Gabe Courville, Nolan Budz, Ethan Zulyniak.

A playoff atmosphere will be in the FAA once again this week as the Harvest will take on the eighth place Notre Dame Argos in a game that very well could be looked back on as a turning point come the end of February when the standings become final. Odgers has embraced the playoff atmosphere their slow start created and uses it as a positive, “We get to have the experience of every game being big and we aren’t going to be one of those teams that back into the play-

offs, if we do make it we are going to have serious momentum heading in and everyone remembers how the LA Kings did in the Stanley Cup after battling for everything they got all year and finishing eighth so we have embraced the situation we are in” said Odgers. The Argos/Harvest have had close meetings in their last two games in Wilcox, splitting the two games, expect more of the same as two teams hungry to make the playoffs continue to leave it all on the ice.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - Page 15A

Canadian Juniors finally beaten in the heart department Last Wednesday I wrote my column all about Canada being poised to win the World Juniors ahead of Thursday’s early morning clash with the Americans. I went out on a limb, and I had good reason to. The Canadians beat the tournaments two other favorites in the US and Russia to wrap up round robin play and had the best team on paper. Ryan Nugent Hopkins was the best forward in the tournament, Jonathan Drouin was the best draft eligible forward and Malcom Subban stopped everything against the Americans, all of Canada’s problems in the last two tournaments seemed to be covered by the fact that they had the most guys who would be playing in the NHL if the lockout wasn’t going on. I was however wrong on one thing I never thought I would need to consider from a Canadian junior team: desire. Yes, people have placed a lot of blame on different people in the past few days since Canada was blown out by the Americans and then handled by the Russians in the bronze medal match. But it all boils down to the fact that Canada came out flat in the opening

periods of both games and that their opponents were ready to play big stage games. You don’t go down to the point your goalie gets pulled in two straight games if you are mentally prepared when you have a team as talented as Canada’s, there is no other explanation. This tournament has grown a lot over the past five years, the string of Canadian host cities grew the tournament even more than it grew in the Sidney Crosby/ Jonathan Toews era with tournaments that had sold out crowds and great atmosphere motivating Canada’s rivals to improve their junior programs to a level that could match the Canadians and the Russians. No longer was it going to be a two horse race as was evident with Sweden winning the 2011/12 World Juniors, but still we pressed on as a nation with thinking that this is still a tournament where Canada should be able to show up and get within inches of the gold medal every year. Except they couldn’t. Canada didn’t even get close in the semifinal and before you could blink the USA’s stellar defensive core was the difference maker as the United States captain

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig

McCabe scored two goals on Subban and Canada was down 2-0 and then eventually 4-0 in a game where they weren’t just outclassed, they were outworked. Canada couldn’t get the Americans out of their zone, the US arguably beat Canada at the style of play they love so much. Every American rush up the ice that wasn’t a clear odd man rush resulted in the puck being dumped into the corner and cycled around the puck as the Americans forechecked and stayed strong on the boards in a style of play that was the ultimate insult to Canadian hockey. it is one thing to get beat by your rival, it is another thing to get completely dominated in the effort department. We do need to address that the tourna-

ment has gotten better, Russia, Sweden and the tournament champions in the US were all great junior teams who were filled with NHL talent themselves, but Hockey Canada’s goal every year is to take gold and we are now three years removed from the last time the Maple Leaf was raised to the rafters after a gold medal game and it is time to ask questions. Canada has never hung its hat on showing up and expecting to win, in past years if the Canadians thought they were the better team (and many times they were, especially in the ‘90s) they would let you know. Players who were already locks to becoming NHL regulars came out and showed Canada why they were about to become household names. Players on the fringe of

becoming pros gave it their all to improve their draft stock at the biggest stage. That wasn’t what happened this year, Canada played like they were waiting for the NHL lockout to end and the ones not in the NHL were treating it like a scouting combine. The US just simply had more industry on the ice than the Canadians, the Canadians who had a day of rest that the Americans did not have. The Canadians who beat the Americans 2-1 just a few days prior. It was a stomach punch to watch and the feeling of disappointment will linger in many for weeks to come. Many people have placed blame on certain players, Malcom Subban came under fire for his goaltending and then his race on twitter the day of the loss, which was appalling, but racism aside it wasn’t his fault. The Canadians were already down 2-0 on goals he had no chance on and gave him zero support after his sparkling performances in the last two meetings of the round robin. His replacement in the bronze medal game Jordan Binnington, fared no better and was replaced by Subban before Canada lost in overtime. Goaltending

often gets the fall when Canada loses, after all admitting you didn’t have the best team or the hardest working one is hard when you are as arrogant as most TSN pundits or talk radio callers, but you don’t have crappy goaltending three years in a row if you are the best hockey nation in the world. It just doesn’t happen. There are well over 100 goalies in the CHL, by math alone three of them have to be good. It can’t be the excuse every year. For once, it is time to take a step back and admit that some changes might be needed to the CHL and how Hockey Canada develops its Junior program. The answer isn’t keeping Europeans out of the CHL game, nor is it in between the posts. It might just be in developing a new attitude around the country and around the players. Other countries have caught up, in coaching, in development, and the use of allowing its talented young talent to play in their domestic pro ranks. Hockey Canada needs to take a look and retool, otherwise in Sweden 2013/14, we might be sitting and hearing this column over again.

Yorkton Minor Hockey posts impressive winning weekend By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Yorkton Minor Hockey returned to tournament action over the weekend and its various clubs recorded winning weekends across the province. The Bantam’s hosted a Tier II tournament and the Yorkton Quiznos Batnams and the Dr Auto Terriers both had success in various routes at the tournament. After being placed in a tough pool with Muenster and Hudson Bay the Quiznos Terriers bounced back

from 7-1 and 7-2 losses in the C Side playoff pool. A 5-1 win over the Melville Bucks and a 5-3 win over Saskatoon secured the Quiznos Terriers the C Side trophy and a .500 weekend in what was an impressive bounce back after two losses during the round robin stage. Meanwhile the Dr Auto Extra Terriers beat Grenfell 5-4 and Saskatoon 5-2 during the round robin to advance to the tournament semifinal where they were matched up with Melfort, the

Terriers won 4-3 and advanced to the tournament championship where another nailbiting 3-2 win over Humboldt gave them the tournament title. The Yorkton Atom Xerox AA Terriers posted two wins over the

Weyburn Red Wings in the SEMHL on the weekend to scores of 8-3 and 6-4 in league play. Two silver medals were also picked up by YMH clubs as the Yorkton Novice Frame Tech Terriers rode a 10-4 win over Foam

Lake into the final where they lost 12-8 to the host Wadena Wildcats. Pee Wee club Yorkton Premier Cabinets Terriers played the Redvers Rockets in the Moosimin tournament. The Terriers lost a close

meeting 9-6 and settled for silver themselves. Finally the Clean Spot Terriers took a B Side win in Esterhazy’s annual novice tournament to wrap up the weekend of minor hockey scores.

Raiders/Saints kick off January with meeting By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer January is an odd month in the high school basketball calendar. Christmas break keeps teams from hitting the court with much consistency for two weeks then teams come back for two weeks of action before

finals give teams yet another short stoppage in the practice/tournament schedule. Yet January can be where teams come together and pull away from the pack in the seasons second month, the high school basketball calendar’s second month is a weird one and both Yorkton schools kicked it

off with three games a piece at the YRHS gym. Friday afternoon the YRHS Sr. Boys hosted MCS in a 2:30 tip off in front of the student body, the Raiders pulled away from MCS early and cruised to a 63-31 win with every player on the Raider bench getting run. Sacred opened their week-

end against the YRHS Jr. team and despite a very talented Raider junior team staying in it for the first half and holding a lead, the Saints size and hard work on the glass by Carter MacKay and Brendon Walkington was too much to handle and the Saints took an 11 point win. The Jr. Raiders beat MCS on Saturday and lost 66-33 to the seniors to round out a solid weekend for them playing up an age level. Saturday afternoon saw

the second Gladstone Battle of the year as the Raiders and Saints senior squads took to the court. The Raiders were simply too much to handle winning 63-32 and finishing off a weekend where they allowed just 31 points per game in their return to action. Coach Jason Payne expects the Raiders to keep growing in the month, “We have the same strengths and weaknesses as I saw at the start of the year, but we

have two of the best players in the province in Daniel Mandziuk who is one of the best point guards I’ve seen at this level and Ben Redl on the glass and in the low post so now it is about growing as a team and players increasing their roles going into March.” The Raiders will take on Prince Albert Carlton in what will be a tough test Friday in Moose Jaw. Sacred will also be headed to Moose Jaw this weekend for tournament play.

YRHS SR. RAIDERS went 3-0 at the YRHS gym over the weekend. The Saints went 2-1 while the YRHS Jr. Raiders beat MCS Senior squad.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - Page 19A

Help for eating disorders is a phone call away A phone call to a helpline can make the difference between feeling paralyzed and moving forward for a person living with an eating disorder. Now, due to the support of Bell Canada, more teens and adults who suffer from eating disorders and food and weight preoccupation can access the support they need from the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) helpline. With a one-year grant from the Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund, NEDIC’s national helpline hours extend into the evening, allowing more people from coast to coast to reach out for help. “People may be reluctant to contact our organization during the work day or school day,” says Merryl Bear, the director of NEDIC. “With the extended hours, more individuals will be able to call from the privacy of their homes, have the chance to communicate openly and honestly about their struggles, and access the support they deserve,” she says. “Often, that phone call can be the first step on the path to recovery. ” Today, one in three girls aged 14 to 18 years uses dangerous weight-management practices. Eating disorders have become the third most chronic illness among adolescent girls. “Without help, many continue a lifelong struggle,” Bear says. “Often, it’s a lack of opportunity to break their silence that increases an individual’s isolation. This

is particularly true for males with eating disorders, where the stigma of a mental illness is compounded by the widespread myth that only females develop eating disorders.” Staff on NEDIC’s helpline are specifically trained to provide callers—individuals with eating disorders, parents, partners and other family members—with compassionate, expert support and information to move forward. Through its helpline, as well as education and outreach initiatives, the organization reached more than 7,000 individuals last year alone. With the Bell grant, the helpline will now stay open an extra four hours on weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EST). “Bell is extremely pleased to lend our support to NEDIC and the 60 other community organizations across the country that are part of the Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund this year,” says Mary Deacon, the chair of the Bell Mental Health Initiative. “Each of these groups is truly making a difference at the grassroots level. We’re very proud to be helping them provide much needed resources to enhance mental health services and programs for those affected by mental illness.” The toll-free helpline is 1-866NEDIC-20 (1-866-633-4220).

A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District

Welcome to 2013 and what will once again be a new year ďŹ lled with growth and prosperity for all.

If you own commercial property, operate a business in the YBID district we would welcome you or As we move into 2013 we have a new your employee to our board. Please contact any of the YBID Board Mayor in Bob Maloney, one new face on council and a direction of growth members for details or call our ofďŹ ce. for the city as well as our province. In winter there is always the same concern, what do we do about the YBID too is planning on growth. Not in our geographic boundaries but in snow. The city has been doing a great job of moving it off the sidewalks what we do and how we do it. This which they are concerned with, but it year we have several new projects is up to our membership to do away in mind as well as the expansion of with snow on our sidewalks in front existing projects. Over the next few of our businesses. If you have some weeks we will tell you about them, right here so please keep an open eye suggestions on just how we can take on this issue please let us know. on this YBID News page. One major issue will be that of recycling paper and cardboard from the YBID Business sector. YBID already has had one meeting in December in a start position to take on this important issue for our members. If you have some suggestions please let us know by calling the ofďŹ ce at 783-9243 or drop us an e-mail to yorktonbid@sasktel.net We are also still looking for an additional 2 new board members.
