Proposed city budget includes 6% tax increase

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The City of Yorkton’s proposed 2015 budget comes with a tax increase. The budget, which was put before council at the most recent meeting, would see a six per cent tax increase. For the average home in the city, that would mean $85 per year.

Lonnie Kaal, director of finance for the City of Yorkton explains that the tax increase is broken down into three areas. The operating budget would require two per cent to meet increased costs, with an additional one point three per cent to fund additional maintenance costs. The capital budget would receive the remainder of the funds, or two point seven per cent.

The proposed capital budget would be

$13,107,960, less funding from utilities, reserves and grants that means $4,080,000 being funded from the tax base.

Drainage improvements continue to be a major project for the city, with $1,560,000 set to be spent on drainage projects in 2015. Storm line replacement will also be a priority, and Kaal says that the recent storms have given the city more information on where the city needs to focus and what is the priority for storm pipe replacement. Areas currently being looked at are the areas of Gladstone, Allanbrooke, Laurier, Agricultural, Roundabout and others along Smith and Broadway, and it will have an estimated cost of $200,000.

An urban connector grant to reconstruct Highway 9 to Mayhew is also part of the budget. A $2.2 million proj-

ect, the majority would be handled by an urban connector grant from the province, with $500,000 coming from the city itself.

There is also a proposed Public Works building design, with the goal of having a detailed design and refined capital cost estimate for the eventual project.

Another major project, to be handled outside of the proposed tax increase, is an engineered landfill pit, which will cost the city a total of $5,610,760. Kaal notes that the goal with the landfill is to run it without relying on the tax base, and as a result it will be funded from approximately $3,000,000 from reserves, and the remainder coming from an internal loan.

The operating budget is largely the same, but with increasing costs in utilities, fuel and salary. Public Works would

also see an additional $200,000 for pothole repair and paving, and there is a proposed $91,500 extra in people resources, including one full time person in IT, as well as an additional summer student and seasonal person in the parks department. Councillor Chris Wyatt questioned whether the extra employee in IT would be necessary and does not support the addition of that staff member.

A decision on the budget has been tabled to the council meeting on September 8, in order to allow for more time to study the document and consult with residents and business owners.

Councilor Les Arnelien says that another reason to table the budget is to allow the incoming city manager to have an impact on the budget and its implementation.

Freestyle motocross thrills audiences

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair was four days of entertainment, with musical performances each night, the West Coast Amusements midway, parade, and horse racing to delight the crowds at the event. In the sky, a freestyle motocross show took place every day, and Saskatchewan rider Dustin Blanchard was one of them.

Blanchard has been jumping for three years, but has been on a bike since he was five years old. He says that he was inspired to start jumping by a show just like the one he was performing in that took place in Regina. After the show, he had a few questions for the owner of the ramps, Vince Morgan.

“I went up to him, right here, bought a poster from him and asked how can I get into this? He told me you need a jump, you’ve got to get some buddies together, and you’ve got to start riding.

Here I am three years later, riding with the same guy.”

It’s hard work, Blanchard says, and it’s more than just hitting the throttle and taking a jump. Physical fitness is the biggest part of the job, as one has to be in great condition to do the tricks.

“You’ve got to be an athlete, you’ve got to be as fit as you physically can in order to be able to perform like that...

It’s a 250 lb bike, and you have to push that away from you, and you’re pushing your 170 lb body, and you’ve got to bring it back, it’s a lot of weight moving around in a short amount of time.”

While there were some issues with wind, Blanchard says that it was a great event overall, with the crowd steadily building from show to show. It was a home town crowd, and Blanchard notes that friends from Saskatoon were coming down to see him jump in the final event.

“I love when there’s a big crowd, it gets you way more pumped up when you’re in front of a crowd that’s cheering, the tricks get bigger and the extensions get longer and it’s way more fun.”

DUSTIN BLANCHARD was one of three riders flying through the air with freestyle motocross at the Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair.

Local couple takes assessment fight to council

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A Yorkton couple has been in a fight with the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) and went before city council to get support and inform them of their frustrations.

Norman and Debbie Koptie’s home on Riverside Drive was assessed by SAMA to have a value greater than what the actual value was, due to an error in the square footage listed. The house, which is 1,586 square feet, was assessed to have a size of 1,971 square feet. In dollar terms, this means the Kopties were charged approximately $300 annually in taxes above what was appropriate for the home.

Debbie Koptie says that SAMA has been difficult to deal with ever since they caught the error in the assessment, making it hard for them to get information on how the mistake got through.

“Once I caught them, and they realized I caught

Free water testing available Due to the recent heavy rainfall, many private wells and cisterns in our region have been contaminated by flood water. If your well or cistern has been flooded, consider the water to be contaminated and use an alternate water source, such as bottled water.

Free bacteriological water testing is available for people whose private wells and cisterns have been flooded. Sample containers and forms are available through local health region public health offices.

Once flood water has receded, individuals should shock chlorinate their well or cistern and then submit a water sample for bacteriological testing.

Information on shock chlorination and water quality is available from Sunrise Health Region Public Health. Please call 306-786-0600 for more information or visit www.sunrisehealthregion.sk.ca and click the “Flood clean-up information” link on the home page.

them with the mistake, there was no information forthcoming,” Koptie says.

While she says the onus is on SAMA to ensure that the assessments for homes are accurate and up to date, and that this is part of their mission statement, from their experience it is clear that home owners need to keep a close eye on their assessments to find errors like the one on their home. She people need to keep an eye on specific errors in an assessment, things like the wrong square footage in their case, but also if a basement is assumed to be finished.

“What I want to draw people’s attention to is that

they have to take the time to check those assessments, because SAMA is not doing their due diligence.”

The Kopties have spoken with different levels of the government in order to get the issue resolved and hold SAMA accountable for their error. They will be making a report to SAMA’s head office now that they have the response from city council.

The process is ongoing, but they were happy to gain the support of city council, which agreed to work with them to see they get their money back, such as through an abatement.

Concert brings relief to flood-stricken area

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The floods in southeastern Saskatchewan have prompted people to do what they can to help out. The province’s musicians are doing their part by singing to raise money, with flood relief concerts being held throughout the province, including at the Painted Hand Casino on July 12 and 13.

The lineup for the concert has a wide range of Saskatchewan talent, with Codie Prevost, Jess Moskaluke, Samara Yung, Stephen Maguire, JJ Voss, Alex Runions, Steve Gibson and Kelsey Fitch.

Maguire says he got on board with the concerts from the moment he heard what was happening from Moskaluke. He came to Yorkton that day, and worked with Murray Yung to set up the concerts. Maguire says that this is the way musicians can help people, and he hopes the money raised will make a big difference to people suffering after the flood.

“For us, if our audience is hurting I have a problem with that. We’re constantly telling people to come out to shows, we’re launching an album, we’re doing this, we’re doing that. And now it’s if you guys are in trouble and we can help, we’re doing it.”

The support from the province’s music community has been overwhelming, with SaskMusic and the SCMAs being a big supporter of the event. Maguire says that artists from across the province wanted to be involved.

“Nobody hesitated, they said if they were available they were there, and nine out of ten of them were...

Everybody wanted to be there from all over this province, we had to move quickly, so even though you’re

TICKETS ARE SELLING fast for the Yorkton Flood Relief concerts. Saturday’s show is already sold out, and tickets for Sunday are on sale now.

going to get about ten artists on stage, believe me there are about forty thinking of you guys.”

There will also be concerts in Saskatoon and Regina, and Maguire says he hopes they remind people what is happening in the south-east corner, and remind people how serious the flooding still is for many people.

PotashCorp will be matching the money raised from the event up to $50,000, Maguire says. All of the money goes directly to the Red Cross in Saskatchewan.

“At the end of the day, this is an entertaining night out, and you need to know that your $20 ticket has become a $40 ticket. It’s going to do a lot of good.”

For Maguire, the flood hits close to home, because the city is a big part of his family.

“I love Yorkton, I got married there in 2007 and my wife lived there for twenty years, her family for nearly thirty. We have so many close friends in Yorkton. Just great people, great city, great place.

When we heard that you guys were in trouble, we knew we had to rally the troops and make something happen.”

Maguire hopes that even if people are unable to make the concert, they’re able to give to the Red Cross and help their neighbors get through the flood.

The first show sold out in the first day, and a second show has been added on Sunday, July 13, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. and the show at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Yorkton Co-op, Loucks Pharmacy and Shoppers Drug Mart.

“It’s a great lineup, come out and enjoy yourselves, and know that your money is going to people who really, really need it.”

Flood Recovery Centres to open in the city The Emergency Operations Centre operated from Sunday afternoon, following the Declaration of State of Emergency in Yorkton, until 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Staff handled hundreds of calls regarding water problems, assistance and emergency accommodation.

“I know as mayor I am very proud of the group and how quickly things came together,” says Mayor Bob Maloney.

Maloney says that the Public Works Department deserves praise for their response to the situation in the city. He says that their prompt attention and hard work in pumping contributed a lot to reducing damage for the city.

He also says the Retention Pond system put in place after the 2010 flood performed admirably, preventing what would have been much more widespread damage in the city from overland storm water flooding.

The Storm Water System is now back to normal, although the Sanitary System is still running at near capacity, and residents are encouraged to use no more water than they need to.

The project to renew the infrastructure along Dracup and York Road will begin later this month and is scheduled to be completed by fall. This will greatly alleviate the bottleneck in the sanitary

system we experienced during this storm.

As of Tuesday morning, some 630 Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) Claim Forms had been picked up at City Hall.

The four flood relief dumpsters will be available in the city until July 14th. All flood related debris must be transported to the dumpsters or to the landfill. Regular landfill fees apply. The dumpsters are located at: St. Paul’s School, MC Knoll School, Public Works Yard on York Rd. and Park Street (north of the Water Tower).

The list of businesses/ contractors for remediation purposes is published

on the city of Yorkton’s website and is also available at the City Hall Building Services Department.

The Government of Saskatchewan is opening a regional flood recovery centre at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton from July 18-20 to provide onsite access to information, programs and services for those affected by recent flooding events.

Anyone who is experiencing any flood issues is welcome to come to the Centres including residents, small businesses, agricultural operations, communal organizations, nonprofit organizations, parks and communities in general.

The Regional Flood Recovery Centre will include representatives from: Emergency Management and Fire Safety, Building Standards, The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program

(PDAP), The Ministries of Social Services, Health, Agriculture, and Environment, SaskPower and SaskEnergy, The Water Security Agency including the Emergency Flood Reduction Damage

Program, The Canadian Red Cross, and Other Non Government Organizations.

Together we can create a change Together we are stronger.

They say it takes a community to raise a child, it also takes community support to put an end to bullying and it doesn’t hurt if the provincial government also lends its support.

On that note, Saskatchewan’s Education Minister Don Morgan recently joined Kevin Doherty, Minister responsible for SaskTel along with students, educators, school division personnel and community members to launch an anonymous anti-bullying online reporting tool.

The government is investing $250,000 in the initiative which is modelled after the ERASE tool in British Columbia, to enable children and youth to report bullying incidents online.

“Today children and youth across the province will be able to take a stand and report incidents of bullying anonymously, through computers or mobile devices.”

The Ministry of Education has partnered with SaskTel’s “I Am Stronger” which provides a single location for students, families, and educators to access anti-bullying supports and resources.

Once an anonymous report is made, alerts will be sent to those who can best resolve the situation. The anonymous online reporting tool will not be a replacement for emergency services. If the matter is urgent in nature or if it is a life-or-death situation, the person should contact 9-1-1 immediately.

This measure is a great addition to the Kids Help Phone – an effort already in place that provides free, anonymous and confidential phone and online professional counselling for youth 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

A new meaning for sell off vacations The way I see it...

WOW! And now we know why our taxes are so high! Not that there wasn’t a million clues out there before this little announcement.

The federal government is reportedly selling off numerous mansions that currently house Canada’s diplomats that live abroad. On the chopping block at present is a modest 7,500 square foot bungalow (yeah right) on the outskirts of Miami. Louise Leger, our country’s Consul-General, lives at the house that is now valued at $5.2 million. “It has six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, marble floors throughout, expansive gourmet kitchen, separate staff quarters and an inviting inground, saltwater pool surrounded by a meticulously landscaped yard, the real-estate website says. The 2003 custom-built Spanish Revival-style residence sits on a corner, half-acre lot on one of Coral Gables’ most prestigious streets...”

I repeat – Wow. This isn’t the only luxury property the Canadian government owns out of country. We have many – including two in Washington, for $2.4-million and $1.6-million, Detroit ($800,000), and Seattle ($2.2-million), Oslo and Brussels. We just sold off one in Mexico City for $3.1 million. We are also

offering for sale homes in Bridgetown, Helsinki, and Brussels. In March, a150,000-square-foot property was sold in London. One hundred and fifty THOUSAND SQUARE FEET?!?

What!?! Who needs that of space???

Shannon Deveau kind As a taxpayer it’s good news that we are cashing in on these unnecessary luxuries (which WILL by the way, be replaced supposedly by more modest accommodations – I highly doubt that) but a person has to ask, WHY were they ever purchased in the first place? What diplomat requires that kind of luxury to adequately represent Canada? And how in depth are their jobs to warrant such an expense? Can you imagine the other ways this money could be spent?

I saw a picture of the latest property up for sale.

It’s a tad nice. I’m thinking, since we’re paying for it, maybe a farewell party is in order (pool side of course) before the government cashes in. Maybe the feds will even kick in for private jet. Oh right, we’re just the common folk...

It’s one thing to provide a comfortable, safe and even welcoming setting for our diplomats but a 7,500 square foot mansion is completely out of line.

Sell them all and smarten up already.

Column

Distracted driving is dangerous, stop doing it Saskatchewan’s law enforcement has a problem.

They want to stop distracted driving, especially when it comes to people using their phones behind the wheel. They’re taking whatever steps they can to do it, increasing punishments for the crime and enforcement, but they’re fighting a losing battle. The question is how they can turn the tide in their favor.

It’s a difficult question because it’s hard to tell what, exactly, could solve the problem. There are still people who refuse to wear seatbelts, and that’s a law that has been on the books for decades. The problem with phones is the same as the problem with belts, even people who are aware of the issue believe it does not quite apply to them for whatever reason. Some will say that since everyone does it anyway it is not actually a big deal so they should not be punished for it. Even if it is a problem, other people are the ones who can’t handle sending a text while driving. I have even heard people say that since police cars are generally filled with radios, laptops and other information tools they really do not have any business issuing cell phone violations, ignoring the purpose of this technology in the first place. It’s at this point I have immense sympathy for the province’s law enforcement, who are charged with preventing distracted driving in a population that wants to be distracted.

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger Seatbelts, at least, had an easy solution, provided by the various car manufacturers. Anyone who tries to drive without a belt in a car made in the last decade or so will trigger a chorus of beeps specifically designed to be annoying enough to get them to put the belt on. It’s a solution that works, but there is no way to make an equivalent chorus of annoyance to get people to put the phone down. Worse still, it’s apparent that manufacturers have no interest in curbing the use of technology anyway, with companies promoting how their cars now come wifi enabled.

Technology sells, and since they can’t render phones inoperative they embrace them.

The problem with sending out the message that distracted driving is dangerous is that people simply do not listen. The problem with increasing the punishment is that it’s impossible to catch everyone, it’s a spread out province and even with an infinite amount of officers you cannot be on all roads at all times. So how do you reach the hearts and minds of the different people? That’s the issue faced by the province, as they struggle to bring down distracted driving and accident rates. Given that they have now resorted to seizing vehicles after multiple violations, it feels like a frustrated parent, finally locking away all the toys after the fifth tantrum of the day.

Everyone drives worse when sending a text, people might claim otherwise but they are mostly just lying to themselves. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to prove this, you could set up a demonstration in any parking lot but you would need people to come, and people do not want to know that they’re doing something dangerous. Perhaps we should try anyway. Give an insurance discount to people who take a course, show them how poorly they drive while sending out a message, hope they actually apply this knowledge to their regular life. It will not solve the problem, there will always be stubborn people, but it would at least be another weapon in a difficult war.

Access to food a challenge

Urgent flood relief needed now

To the Editor: Canadians spend a great deal on food – more than $100 billion per year. However, we spend much less than we used to, relatively speaking.

Each Canadian spends $2,700 on average in food annually; one of the lowest amounts on earth.

Only a few industrialized countries offer their citizens a more affordable food basket.

But while most of us are literally spoiled, many people still can’t afford to eat in our country. More than 800,000 Canadians visit food banks every month, many of them children.

In short, our food system is working well, but we’re neglecting some of our fellow citizens.

An increasing number of Canadians rely on food banks, and many believe that trend will continue.

Food banks generally see citizens from both ends of the life continuum make use of their services. A greater number of seniors living on a fixed income are expected to require support, while students coping with higher tuition fees have also recently used food banks in higher numbers.

The middle class and the working poor are growing markets where we could also see economic casualties. For many Canadians in a wide range of economic contexts, access to food remains a challenge. From time to time, they all need a safe and reliable place to go.

The role of food banks

in our society has never been so vital. The old adage that suggests that they should work their way out of existence is dangerously short-sighted. We need them more than ever. Here is why.

Food banks tend to cater to a market governments generally believe they have failed. As a result, they avoid talking about them, which is

work, but they should also become more efficient and more strategic.

For years, running a food bank meant that their managers needed to be good at warehousing.

This is no longer true.

People visit food banks for an array of reasons.

Guests often also seek comfort, attention, and a meeting place to share their problems and ex-

“Helping developing countries is a great achievement for our country, but we should not also forget that all Canadians have a right to food.” why most food banks operate without any public funding. Most Canadians are not aware of this.

Policies are put in place by governments to allow wealth to be created and to support everything we need to function as a society. Undeniably, capitalism has proven itself to be a sound wealth generator.

What capitalism is ridiculously ill equipped for, however, is to equitably distribute prosperity.

Governments can of course offset our economies’ inability to do so, but the execution of this assistance can be protracted. To temporarily support food insecure consumers, a nurturing place is necessary.

We need food banks to continue their important

periences. Some even require medical assistance to address ongoing mental illnesses. Food banks are beginning to recognize that they are in the larger business of wellness, not only of food security. Many are now dealing with the minds and hearts of their guests, and not just their stomachs.

At times, however, food banks can be their own worst enemies. In some markets, food banks compete with each other in seeking donations.

Some are faith-based, and some are established by an individual who is deeply passionate about the people in a specific neighbourhood. In this case, competition dilutes resources, making the system less efficient

and more confusing for those who need them. As demand for food banks grows, this issue should be addressed, not by eliminating points of service, but rather by developing better distribution practices and a stronger portfolio of services. And why not charge a nominal fee for services rendered.

It may sound counterintuitive, but this may allow guests not to feel that they are a burden to society. Dignity and respect go a long way.

Food banks are critical managers of the negative externalities of the market. Downward economic cycles and ineffective economic or monetary policies will inevitably continue to generate a percentage of need in the future, and food banks should provide an immediate, and hopefully temporary, safety net.

Most food banks in Canada are well managed, but they need our help. For many Canadians, there is a false social stigma attached to food banks. We should think of ways to address this problem, so more of us can become engaged.

In doing so, we remind ourselves that hunger is a cruel reality here at home as well as overseas.

Helping developing countries is a great achievement for our country, but we should not also forget that all Canadians have a right to food.

Canada’s military and our veterans

To the Editor:

Just north of the CPR mainline, a little white building sits on a small plot of land, between the Regina Armoury and the site of what will become Saskatchewan’s new football stadium. For decades, this has been the home of RUSI – the Royal United Services Institute – a modest gathering place for military people and veterans and a symbol of respect toward those who serve or have served in the Canadian Forces or the RCMP But as of this July, it’s gone.

Shut down. A victim of federal “austerity” as the Harper government continues to slash everything in sight – all so it can concoct the claim of a balanced budget in time for next year’s election.

There’s a rude note from the Defence Department taped to RUSI’s door, telling everyone to get out.

It didn’t cost much to run the place or maintain it – certainly much less than this government keeps blowing year-after-year on pointless, partisan advertising.

The fact that Conservatives have chosen to fund so lavishly their own self-promotion, but not this small place for soldiers and veterans speaks volumes about Mr. Harper’s warped priorities.

He likes to sound like a toughguy when talking about defence matters. He boasts about his “affection” for the military. He gets his picture taken with lots of people in uniform. He goes to many ceremonies, gives speeches

and promises monuments and museums. But his actual record on things that matter is a huge contradiction.

For example, on the procurement of promised new military equipment – ships, icebreakers, trucks, airplanes, fighter jets, etc.

– the Harper government has yet to complete one single successful competition. At the top of their list of failures is the $50-billion F-35 fiasco. It was singled out by both the Parliamentary Budget Officer and the Auditor General as a case of massive incompetence and dishonesty.

Funding for the Defence Department is now being slashed officially, but in each of the last four years – despite Conservative bravado – the hacking had already started surreptitiously. Capital budgets within DND were regularly “lapsing” 25% of the funds that Parliament had approved.

In other words, there were big announcements, but the money didn’t actually get out the door.

But the worst indictment of this Conservative regime is their gross mistreatment of returning soldiers and veterans.

Vets in their 90’s have felt compelled to hold public demonstrations protesting deficient benefits, poor services and rude treatment.

Two successive Veterans Ombudsmen have exposed multiple problems (including the violation of confidential health files). Most recently, health insurance premiums were doubled.

Eight specialized service cen-

tres across the country have been closed.

This government held veterans hostage in the courts for six long years, trying to claw-back some of their pensions. Now the Feds are in court again, claiming they have “no special obligation” to take care of those they send to fight in dangerous places around the world.

Soldiers are being released from military service just before they qualify for a pension.

Support systems for those recently back from Afghanistan appear seriously inadequate - especially psychological care for the many who suffer Post Traumatic Stress. Reports of suicides are painfully frequent.

And then there’s the sad spectacle of callous Minister Fantino insulting veterans on television and running away from a military spouse who was asking for a bit of help.

Losing RUSI may seem small in comparison, but it’s a metaphor – another glaring example – of Harper hypocrisy.

To put it bluntly, we are free to enjoy our annual Canada Days, as we have in the past, because of the service and valour of those who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in defence of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

They deserve far better than the betrayals they suffer at the hands of the Harper government.

Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

To the Editor: Intense, widespread flooding in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba over the Canada Day weekend has caused unprecedented damage to farms, crops, farmland and rural infrastructure. The National Farmers Union (NFU) urges the federal and provincial governments to provide a stream-lined process to get emergency relief funds to all affected farmers as quickly as possible. Rural Municipalities must be funded to maintain and upgrade infrastructure to handle more frequent and severe storms. The NFU also calls upon all levels of government to implement effective greenhouse gas reduction policies to prevent the acceleration of climatic instability.

We know about spring flooding, but now we are also getting flooded by huge rainstorms that last for days. It’s like an inland hurricane. Community members help each other when disaster strikes – that’s a strong Canadian value we can be proud of. We need action from all levels of government to deal with consequences from destabilized weather patterns.

After a cold, wet spring with late seeding, many farmers face drowned pastures and hayfields that are too muddy to harvest. Without timely help, this situation may lead cow-calf producers to sell off, further reducing regional cattle herds.

Disaster relief funds need to flow quickly so that individual farmers and Rural Municipalities are not left wondering when they will be able to pay their bills.

Farmers are innovating to adapt to less predictable weather – by making silage instead of dry hay, for example,” said Robson. Each province can help farmers cooperate by promoting online tools to help connect producers who have pasture or hay available with those in need of grazing and feed.

Manitoba’s feed transportation assistance program has worked well for farmers, and we’d like to see it continue too.

Saskatchewan has been turning a blind eye to illegal ditching too long.

Thousands of sloughs have been drained to create nice square fields that are easy to work. Now, with these big storms all that drainage adds up to worse floods downstream.

We need to deal with today’s emergency and Canada’s long range climate policy, but we also have some mediumterm work to do. Years of under-funding infrastructure maintenance mean that a lot of roads, culverts, and bridges will need to be rebuilt soon, even in areas that have not experienced devastating floods. Let’s make sure that RMs can rebuild to one-in-500-year storm standards. With global CO2 level at 400 parts per million and still rising, the past is no longer a guide to the future when it comes to the water cycle.

Ian Robson, Ed Sagan, Beverly Stow, Matt Gehl, NFU.

The farmer is trained – soup for lunch anyone?

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training.

This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Yahoo! The garden is in, as in all the potatoes are planted, and so are the peas, onions and garlic! And then the rain came. The timing was perfect. We have two garden spots, and I used my 4020 to provide both spots with nice clean sheep manure compost, and then Marion did the rest.

I thought that was a very good labour split, I sat and drove the tractor and she knelt down and did the planting. She sure took her time! I was done long before she was! It’s hard to get good help these days.

Marion is mounting new eaves around the house. She trusts me enough to stand in the tractor bucket with a section of the eave, all the required hardware and the tools, and then I lift her up to where she wants to be. So far so good.

She’s doing a great job, but there are still a few sections left to go.

Our dog Lady loves to be outside, playing, exploring and watching us work. I noticed the other day that she was chasing a small swallow, one of the pair that is nesting in our rafters.

The bird swooped up and down over Lady, and Lady chased after the bird, then as a farewell shot, the bird dropped a “bomb” out of her rear end! It missed Lady, and as she sat down and watched the swallow fly

away, I thought to myself, “good thing that cows cannot fly, because that would have been a big mess!”

Every year we look at that swallow nest in the rafters above our front door, and discuss the fact that we should get rid of it after the little chicks have got their wings and flown the nest. But there is something about short term memory as we get older, so we forget to do it, only to be reminded at this time of the year by bird droppings and sing songs. So if there are any special gourmet chefs out there, then please come and get the nest this fall to make “Bird’s Nest Soup!” For those brave chefs that would like to try, here is the recipe fresh off the internet: Swallow’s Nest Soup With Rock Sugar Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes Ingredients: 2 ounces bird’s nest 7 to 8 tablespoons crushed rock sugar, or to taste 4 cups water Preparation: Prepare the bird’s nest: soak it in cold water for several hours or overnight. Rinse well. Go over the nest and pick out any loose feathers.

Boil the bird’s nest twice: Bring a pot of water to boil and simmer the bird’s nest for about 5 minutes.

Again, rinse well and squeeze dry.

Place the bird’s nest in the pot and add the water.

Bring to a boil and simmer until the bird’s nest

is quite soft (up to 2 hours). Add the rock sugar, stirring to dissolve.

Serve the soup hot.

Note: You’ll want to save this for a special occasion.

A bird’s nest is rumored to be an aphrodisiac. Bon Apetite!

Ole and Sven went to a fancy restaurant to celebrate Ole’s good fortune winning the lottery. The waiter saw them coming a mile away, and decided to have some fun. The waiter presented them with the menus, and let them know about the various specials. Both pea soup and roast beef were on the specials list, so Sven asked the waiter: “What’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?” “Well, for starters,” said the waiter, “anyone can roast beef!”

Ole and Sven decided to be daring and start with Swallow’s Nest Soup, which the waiter served with flair. Ole tasted a spoonful of the soup, grimaced and said to the waiter: “Hey! This soup tastes like dish water!” “That’s interesting,” said the waiter, “how would you know that?”

Then Sven tasted a spoonful, made a strange face and said to the waiter: “Hey! This soup tastes funny!” “Wow,” said the waiter, “then why aren’t

you laughing?” Ole decided to get back at the waiter, and said: “No, no, this soup is spoiled!” “Who told you?” inquired the waiter. “A little swallow!” said Ole. (Get it? A little play on birds, eh, words).

Lars and Kari had a little boy named Per, but Per wouldn’t speak. They were baffled and took him to the doctor. The doctor was also stumped, and suggested that perhaps they should consider some speech therapy. Then finally one day at the dinner table, little Per said: “My soup is too cold!”

Lars and Kari became ecstatic, smiled at Per and asked: “Why haven’t you spoken to us before now?” Per smiled back and said: “Because the soup was never too cold before.”

OK, OK! Stop groaning! Here is one more. It was Hjalmar’s birthday and he and Knut were having lunch. Hjalmar had brought with him a large silver plated vacuum flask, which he proudly put on the table. He was waiting for Knut to ask him about it, but Knut said nothing. They finished their lunch and were about to leave when Knut suddenly asked: “What is that?” and pointed to the vacuum flask.

“My wife gave it to me for my birthday,” beamed Hjalmar, “it keeps hot things hot and cold things

cold.” “Really,” said Knut, “so, what did you put in it?” “Hot soup and ice cream!”

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 10, 2014 - Page 7A

Films Under the Arch begins The Yorkton Film Festival has announced a series of summer films to be screened under the arch at the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre. There will be two screenings in July, followed by two screenings in August.

Films Under the Arch starts Wednesday, July 16 at 7:30 pm at the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre with the film, How to Be a Wild Elephant.

“Elephant poaching worldwide has reached epidemic proportions. In Kenya, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

provides a sanctuary for baby elephants who are its greatest victims, left to die without the nurture and protection of their matriarchal herds.

In 2010 a baby elephant named Sities was rescued and brought to the Trust’s Nairobi Nursery to begin her rehabilitation. Her remarkable story was followed by audiences worldwide who watched her progress from day one. Now three years later we catch up with Sities, who has reached the age where she can be integrated into the wild ele-

phant herds of Tsavo East National Park.”

All films are presented free of charge and are open to all. Please bring seating. In event of bad weather, the screening shall be held inside the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre.

Our full summer schedule is as follows: Wednesday, July 16, How to be a Wild Elephant, Wednesday, July 30, A Dog’s Life, Wednesday, August 6, Surviving the Teenage Brain, Wednesday, August 13, Never Ever Do This at Home.

2014 YORKTON FAIR HORSE RACING - Chuckwagons, chariots and haness racing were one of the highlights of the 2014 Yorkton Exhibition, bringing horse racing fans to the fairgrounds to enjoy the day’s action.

Cards return to full action, go 2-3 for week

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After flooding in the Parkland area gave the Yorkton Cardinals an unplanned break in their Western Major Baseball League schedule, baseball returned this week as the Cards played five games with the weather cooperating enough to get all but one scheduled game completed after one of the most rain-filled starts to July in recent memory.

Despite the excitement to get back on the diamond, the layoff appeared to have cooled off the Cardinals promising play from June

as after hovering around .500 Yorkton has went 2-3 to start July.

After splitting their postponed Canada Day doubleheader with the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets the Cardinals played host to the Regina Red Sox on Friday night as Jamie Whitehead would get the start for Yorkton against Red Sox starter Kevin Hand.

Whitehead would get plenty of early run support as the Cards would score an early run in the first before scoring three more in the bottom of the second inning to climb out to an early 4-0 lead, eventually leading 7-2

heading into the Red Sox last turn at the plate after two bottom of the eighth runs gave reliever Aaron Dick plenty of cushion to close the game out and secure a second straight win for Yorkton on the bounce.

Dick would need all of that run support as the Langley, B.C. product was unable to get an out while allowing four Red Sox runs to cross the plate, forcing the Cardinals to use another closer in Cole Roark to come to the mound.

Despite having a higher season ERA than Dick, Roark showed impressive composure by retiring all

three Regina batters without blowing the lead to earn his second save of the season in a 7-6 win that was a lot closer than anticipated following the four run Regina rally in the last half inning.

Whitehead was solid on the mound for the Cards in what was his second win of the season, striking out six batters in 6.2 innings of work on the mound to move to 2-1 in five starts for Yorkton with a 2.59 ERA in early July for one of the Cardinals better Canadian born pitchers this season.

YUFC U-10’s, U-12’s do well at Summerfest

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

Entering July’s Summerfest tournament, Yorkton United Football Club U-10 and U-12 teams expected to do well and did so, both performing excellently despite not securing tournament titles in a fun weekend of soccer.

Yorkton United’s U-10 team won all three of their games at the tournament, but due to the way group stage play was set up were strangely knocked out of the final despite winning every one of their matches while the YUFC U-12’s got into the final with one, one draw and one loss before losing in the final.

The U-10’s moved up an age group to play in the tournament, moving from the Premier Division for U-10’s to U-12 Division 2 for Summerfest but were not slowed down with their three wins, ultimately being deserving of a place in the finals thanks to winning three games against much larger and older players thanks to quality passing and determination according to coach Benno Looft who praised his team’s efforts.

For the U-12’s their trip to the final was a memorable one as they faced a REU Boca Jr’s side they had lost to 5-2 in group play in a hard fought match.

In the final, the young YUFC players proved that they deserved to be there and played much better with the final on the line, taking the match to extra time before losing to a “Golden Goal” to take a well earned silver medal.

Coach Andy Wyatt said he was proud

of his team’s effort in doing their best against a tough team, which is all he asks of them.

Both the U-10’s and U-12’s will continue their seasons in league and cup play throughout July.

YUFC U-12’S TAKE SUMMERFEST SILVER - An extra time loss in the final of the Summerfest tournament earned the young Yorkton team a hard fought silver medal this weekend. The U-10’s won all three games, but missed the final due to tiebreakers.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 10, 2014 - Page 11A

Saskatchewan Roughriders crash to earth is a concern Ruttig’s rants

After many wondered whether Week One’s blowout over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats was a product of some bad weather and bad football from their opponents or a sign that the Saskatchewan Roughriders weren’t going to miss a beat in 2014 without several former key figures on the team, fans along with the Roughriders got their answer in their first road game of 2014 as Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts handed the Grey Cup champs a harsh dose of reality.

Dominated on both sides of the ball, Saskatchewan’s trip to the Rogers Centre was the team’s worst performance in recent memory. Bringing back visions of the disappointing seasons that preceded the Roughriders magical Grey Cup run last season, a run that was thanks to an influx of new talent. Now with offseason departures and not additions being the story, the Riders looked lost against the East’s Grey Cup favorites in a 4815 blowout that wasn’t close at any point of the game.

In fact, the Riders offence led by Darian Durant scored just a single point on a rouge in the first half. An embarrassing performance from Durant, who the team gave a hefty payday to in the offseason rather than using the cap space on bringing in replacement weapons for the absence of Weston Dressler after the accomplished CFL wideout left for a start in the NFL with the Chiefs.

Durant has proved many times that he needs some of the best players in the CFL at the wideout position to be who Riders fans expect him to be, the talent of Durant is one of game management and timely plays based on his experience as well as his ability to make defenses pay, something that wasn’t happening in the first half on Saturday as the Riders couldn’t find the back of the endzone.

On the other side of the football things were just as ugly, allowing Ricky Ray to look like the best quarterback in the CFL in a game that was billed as a battle between two accomplished veterans at the signal caller position. If it was a battle between Durant and Ray, surely the Toronto quarterback won it handily as the Saskatchewan defence had little answers to stop Ray in a four passing touchdown performance where the Riders allowed the Argos to throw the ball for 407 yards.

Saskatchewan’s answer appeared to be shipping their veteran defensive back Dwight Ander-

son off to the team that just beat them, but Corey Chamblin has also chalked up the loss to a lack of preparation. Understandable considering that it is only Week Two of the CFL season, but a hard excuse to buy after the Roughriders had their tune up game at Mosaic Stadium.

Unless the CFL is deciding to treat the regular season as a glorified preseason nowadays, fans shouldn’t buy the Roughriders excuse of preparation. After all, how many people downplayed their success against Hamilton in Week One when the Riders defence piled up 10 sacks. If that praise was given in beating the Tiger-Cats, the equal concern should be there after the Roughriders offensively built team could only score one point in the first half and 15 points total in a blowout affair.

Durant’s play may have been the most concerning as after a mediocre performance against in Week One in wet and stormy weather, Durant’s follow up was a performance that only the biggest of Riders homers could say wasn’t poor. In fact Durant’s multiple interceptions and lack of scoring in the first half should finally drive the point home in the province that the impact of losing players to the NFL, free agency, the expansion draft and retirement is going to cause regression on offence as well as in Durant’s performance.

With so much of Durant’s success coming thanks to a balanced run game with Kory Sheets and one of the deepest teams in the league last season, can

fans truly ignore the potential of the struggles he faced in the last quick Riders rebuild returning?

When the Roughriders lost Andy Fantuz, Durant was a shell of what he was when he exploded onto the scene to replace Kory Joseph. Only returning to the top of the league in quarterback play once the run game was established under Sheets and the offensive line was overhauled.

Durant’s success also came thanks to ball security in 2013, not throwing an interception until Labour Day. In 2014, he already has two interceptions thanks to his multiple miscues against the Argos. Something that furthers the Roughriders problems when they are trying to adjust on offence without their number one wide receiver option and one of the best running backs in recent league history out of the picture, in addition to Geroy Simon whose retirement has further exasperated the Riders problems.

Still, this Roughrider team does have talent.

Any team that won the Grey Cup the year before should unless they sold off all of their assets. That hasn’t been the case in Saskatchewan, but thanks to the spotlight their players had drawing NFL interest to their star players and the CFL expansion draft further weakening depth across the board the Riders are now feeling an early pinch as well as an identity crisis. Everyone knows a title is harder to defend than it is to win the first one, and right now the Roughriders are feeling the championship hangover in the worst way early in the season. Lost players to free agency, aging veterans, all things that are a reality for any successful team could very well doom the Roughriders in 2014 should the coaching staff and front office not be careful.

With Anderson gone, changes are likely on the way. The chances of Kory Sheets returning are also still there should he not crack Oakland’s roster and even if not proven veteran Hugh Charles is set to debut. It is only Week Two, so the panic button shouldn’t be pressed yet, but don’t blame anyone for hovering over it this week. There is a long way to go in the extremely long CFL season, but if adjustments aren’t made to deal with the exodus of talent in Saskatchewan this offseason expectations of back to back Grey Cups may have to be adjusted sooner than expected in the province.

Yorkton Cardinals in tight July East Division race

At the plate Georgie Santiago and Kameron Mizzell continued their strong seasons with two RBI’s apiece in the win. Austin Drummonds, Ben Grillo and Matt Collier each got one RBI apiece as the middle of the Cardinals lineup was solid on Friday night.

Heading to Regina for a rematch on Sunday the Cardinals would start their workhorse in Jeff Pool, but trouble would strike early as the Alabama born pitcher would be unable to get out of the fourth inning, giving up four runs and seven hits in the process to put Yorkton behind early and forcing reliever Codi Scanlon to come in.

Luckily for Yorkton, the bullpen would shutout the Regina hitters once Pool left the game, allowing the Cardinals to work their way back into things. Two runs in the fifth inning followed by another in the top of the sixth thanks to RBI’s from Santiago and Collier would make things interesting, but starter Labradford Griffis would get out of danger and allow the

bullpen to close out a 4-3 win to avoid two straight losses to the Cardinals as Regina would take a crucial East Division win.

After a potential third straight game between the two ballclubs was rained out as a storm at Jubilee Park cancelled a game between the Cards and Red Sox, Yorkton would turn their attentions to a Highway 10 battle as Melville came to town looking to take second place in the East Division.

Something that the Cardinals wanted to spoil, sending Chris Rideout to the mound in the hopes of closing the distance between Melville and first place in the division with a home win.

Things started out promising as in the bottom of the first inning Yorkton would score first as the veteran Mizzell would score leadoff hitter Nick Gotta to put the Cardinals up 1-0 early, giving their starter a very small cushion of run support to work with.

That lead would stretch to the top of the fifth inning as after the Yorkton bats couldn’t

provide any more runs for Rideout the starting pitcher eventually conceded the first run of the game to Melville before reliever Vin Whitenight allowed two more runs in the sixth to dramatically change the game as after the Cardinals spent most of the opening half of the game holding onto a slim lead they would have to play catch up for their final four trips to the plate after things fell apart on the mound slightly.

Sadly the bats couldn’t get going for Yorkton despite for an infield hit from Cameron Duncan in the bottom of the ninth and some nifty baserunning on throwing errors from Melville to get runners on second and third with one out the Cardinals couldn’t get much going until it was too late in a 4-1 loss.

Yorkton assistant coach John McVey mentioned that the rain delay against Regina, and the rain delays in general have made it difficult for batters to get their rhythm.

Especially against a strong pitcher like Melville’s Steven Bunnell who went eight

innings and struck out six after calming down from Mizzell’s RBI double early.

“It has been a stop and start type of season with the weather, something that can really change the momentum of a hitter especially when we are dealing with young ballplayers here,” said McVey following Tuesday’s loss.

“Even the most consistent of batters can be thrown off by a rain delay and it was a difficult challenge for us tonight to face one of the better pitchers in the East Division which cooled our bats a little.”

McVey also mentioned that it was good to get back to baseball after the weather forced both the Cardinals and the Millionaires to cancel Canada Day weekend action, noting that after Melville’s field and city faced significant flooding it was good to see them able to host home play as of late.

“The weather and flooding was unfortunate for everyone in the are so we are excited to get back to playing baseball and giving the fans something to cheer about now that things

are back to normal, especially for Melville who had some problems with their field so it is good to get back into a routine that hopefully won’t be interrupted by Mother Nature like that again this season,” said McVey. Sitting 1.5 games up on the Weyburn Beavers for the last playoff spot in the East Division, the Cardinals will have arguably the most important stretch of their 2014 campaign when they play the Beavers four straight times this week. With a chance to get some distance between themselves and get back into the East Division race with both Melville and Yorkton chasing the 18-10 Red Sox, McVey is looking for the Cardinals to go on a streak to secure their playoff hopes in a crucial July for a ballclub that has missed the postseason for the past few seasons.

“Right now three teams are battling for two playoff spots and two of them are going to eventually get hot and turn things around after going a bit below .500,” said McVey. “We have to control our destiny and make sure I WANT A QUESADILLA, HOW ABOUT YOU GRANDMA?

MMM...A JUICY CHEESEBURGER

that we are one of the teams in our division that gets some wins going in order to make the playoffs which I believe we are more than able to do this year based on the first 20 plus games we have played this season.”

“We have to make sure that we believe in ourselves and get the guys to have faith in themselves that we can get wins and make the playoffs to really make a run here, once we do that I think our season can definitely be a success if we can get those wins to get into the postseason,” closed McVey.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 10, 2014 - Page 15A

Things to consider before downsizing your home

The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.

But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

Real estate market

The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale.

Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes

in your area selling?

When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

Furniture When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store.

Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without.

An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will

fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

Proximity to family When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants.

While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family mem-
