Provincial funding for community police officers By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The targeted policing initiatives in the province are working, and Yorkton is receiving $330,000 to continue funding the three community police officers in the city, through the Government
of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Justice. The initial grant in the city was $90,000 for one officer, Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit explains, and it has expanded to three after the success of the program. He says that getting officers in the schools and the com-
munity is something that works and he is glad to support. “I personally feel it’s a really great initiative, having those community police officers engaged and in schools, developing those relationships with young kids and those proactive
relationships that will maybe alleviate problems those youth will experience in coming years,” Ottenbreit says. Staff Sergeant Joe Milburn says that the program allows the police to do extra activities and get involved in the community, especially in the local schools. He points to
recent events like the Bike Rodeo, which promoted bike safety to over 300 Yorkton and area students, as an event that shows the value of community police officers, because it would be difficult to accomplish otherwise. Continued on Page 2.
FOUR YEARS AGO the City of Yorkton was hit with a major flood, and nearly on the anniversary it was again hit with heavy rains, causing many residents to have water in their basements and flooding in many areas.
State of emergency declared in Yorkton/Melville By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Following close behind the City of Melville, the City of Yorkton declared a state of emergency earlier this week. Heavy rains throughout the south-east corner of the province have caused flooding, with the storm sewer system going over-capacity. The Darlington underpass was also flooded and closed until Monday afternoon. Mayor Bob Maloney says the situa-
tion is better than it was four years ago, with only a couple applying for emergency accommodation, but that anecdotally there have been many people with water and sewage in their basemen. The city is advising people to keep a close eye on their basements and homes. “We want to advise people to keep an eye on their basements, check neighbors if you can, especially if you have seniors in your area who might need some help.”
Residents are advised to direct their sump pumps outside and keep water out of the sewage system, as the sewers are over-capacity. Maloney says that council is considering making it mandatory for pumps to go outside in the future. The city also does not have the manpower to help everyone who needs it with water in their basement, and the mayor says residents will have to engage local contractors for assistance.
He adds, while there was still flooding, the storm sewer upgrades made since 2010 have helped matters immensely, and that the $8 million in sewer upgrades was money well spent. “I think our storm sewer system, which was overrun in 2010, performed admirably in the last few days. Our storm system had capacity, it moved the water well, our ponds which we have invested in have done their job. Continued on Page 3.

DAY OF SERVICE – The RBC Day of Service program encourages employees to volunteer at local charities to celebrate National Volunteer Week, giving a grant to the charity that employees volunteer in. This year, RBC employees volunteered with the Health Foundation, and because they gave their time, RBC has donated $1,000, which will purchase patient information monitors for the regional hospital. Pictured above are Rolanda Hershmiller, Karen Melynchuk with RBC, Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation and Gillian Porter and Danita Thurston with RBC.
GET ON THE BUS – The Yorkton Nursing Home is getting a new bus, and the Yorkton Lions Club is one of the reasons why. The club donated $10,000 to the new vehicle, which is expected to arrive in August, on the condition that the project was fully funded, because they wanted to ensure the funds were raised and the bus purchased. The new bus will allow residents to again attend social outings and go on excursions outside of the nursing home, which they haven’t been able to do since the old bus was rendered inoperative. Pictured above (l-r), Yorkton Lions Brian Kruger, Allan Konkin and Michael Liknaitzky present Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation, with the cheque. This brings the amount the Lions have raised for The Health Foundation to $85,000, spread among different projects.
Masquerade gala planned The 18th annual Gala of The Health Foundation will take place on Saturday, November 1st, 2014 at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre in Yorkton. This year’s theme is “A Venetian Masquerade Gala”. “This isn’t so much about costume as it is about having fun with a little sense of mystery and intrigue, says Diane Rusnak, Chair of the Gala Committee. “This isn’t a Halloween costume kind of masquerade, it will be more in the nature of a Venetian Masquerade Gala, and we invite people to have a little fun wearing a mask, or having a masque on a stick you can hold in front of your eyes. Some people have already said they might have a mask painted on their face.” “The last several Gala Evenings have sold out and have been huge successes, and we are going to improve and build on that success by making Gala better every year. For those who like to dance Gala is of course a must, as we always fea-
ture a live band that can keep the dance floor full. Our band this year is the Crawdaddy’s, who are back by popular demand,” continues Mrs. Rusnak. In addition to fabulous
Flowers are again helping us with decorating for Gala. Partnering with these two businesses will ensure our decorations are outstanding; Gala has a fabulous

food and live music Gala also features: Mitch Hippsley, of Photography by Mitch, will take complimentary portraits of guests; Sherring Gold Jewellers is once again donating a fabulous piece of jewellery for us to raffle; and, of course; Kristen Weber-Karcha with Memories to Last a Lifetime and Stephanie Buckle with All About
Silent Auction, limited to 40 select items donated by the business community from throughout the region. “We are pleased to have Morris Industries returning as our Presenting Sponsor. Morris Industries has been very supportive of our Gala Night, and have been our Presenting sponsors for eight years now.” Gala is held on a
Saturday as we find that makes it easier for our guests to attend,” continues Mrs. Rusnak. “It also means we can start a few things earlier, like the portraits that are offered to our guests. We like to have the portraits taken by the time supper is served. That means the evening itself is free for enjoying cocktails, a wonderful meal and a great dance band.” Over the years, the Gala events have purchased $450,000 of important medical equipment for the region’s healthcare facilities. This year the proceeds of Gala will purchase equipment for the new Integrated Primary Care Clinic, which will open this fall. Seating for Gala is limited to 350 people. Rusnak suggests that those planning to attend should get their table organized and order their tickets now. Ticket order forms are available in person from The Health Foundation office at 41 Betts Avenue in Yorkton. Call 306-786-0506 or order from www.thehealthfoundation.ca.
Policing Con’t from Page 1. “It really allows us to not only do our daily activities that are expected of us, but it allows us to do a lot more in the community and be involved in the schools and that kind of thing.” Milburn says that with the funding it allows the police force to be more effective overall as well, and he believes the community engagement is important for crime prevention and also dealing with drug problems within the city.

BOSTON PIZZA DAY – On June 25, Boston Pizza locations across Saskatchewan and Lloydminster donated 10 per cent of their sales to Camp Easter Seals, raising over $60,000. One family that decided to come down for a meal was the Hove family, Samuel and Elizabeth pictured, who were served by Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit. Elizabeth says that they decided to come down for lunch because they heard about the day and thought it was a great initiative to support. The money raised will go to sending kids with disabilities to Camp Easter Seals.

Cherries are a jubilee – summer favorite Summer is a wonderful time of the year when it comes to the abundance of fresh fruit that is available, and cherries are one of my utmost favourite. I believe that we all have some fond memory from our childhood of eating cherries in the hot summer sun; either raw and fresh by themselves, or in a favorite family dessert. The part of the world where cherries originated is very difficult to pinpoint, as they have supposedly been in existence since prehistoric times. Today however, cherries are found all over the world. Birds love cherries, and so it is believed that due to their migration habits, they were the factor most contributing to the spread of cherries trees. We tend to see and consume only one or two varieties of sweet cherries that are sold in our markets and roadside stands. However, there are many different ones that are cultivated around the world. Cherries are divided into two classifications – sweet cherries and sour cherries. There are over 500 varieties of sweet cherries and over 250 varieties of sour cherries worldwide! Three examples of sweet cherries that would be the most familiar to us would be Gean, Bing, and Bigaroon. Gean cherries are the most common. They are either red or black and very sweet. Bing cherries have skins that are usually not as dark and their flesh is substantially more pale, but they tend to be juicer. Bigaroons are somewhat heart-shaped and their firm flesh can either be red or yellow. When buying cherries, make sure that they are fully ripe. Cherries do not ripen on their own after harvesting. Also make sure to buy cherries that still have their stems attached. Cherries without stems tend to spoil faster as the stem cavity will expose a part of the inner flesh. Cherries can be kept at room temperature, but as with most fruit,
Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com they will always deteriorate more slowly if kept in the refrigerator. Store them in a container or bag away from strong smelling foods, as cherries will tend to easily absorb odours, which will intensely affect their flavour. Cherries can be frozen whole or pitted, but freezing will affect their flavour quality and firmness. Frozen cherries will be best used for cooking. Pitting cherries can be done with either a knife by cutting them in half, or with a cherry/olive pitter. These manual mechanical devices look almost like a pair of hand pliers. One end has a round compartment which holds the cherry or olive, while the other end is equipped with a “spike” that inserts into the flesh to push the pit through the opposite end. Cherries Jubilee is probably the most famous cherry recipe. It is recipe that consists of soaking cherries in a cherry liqueur, cooking them in a sugar syrup, and igniting them with brandy. They are boiled down until the sauce thickens, more cherry liqueur can be added at this point, and then served over ice cream or cake. One of my favorite childhood recipes is one that my Mother made for our family every cherry sea-
son. She calls it “cherry soup.” It is whole cherries cooked in a sweet, red, cherry broth with curds made out of flour. It may sound odd, but it is very delicious and can be served either hot or chilled! Dear Chef Dez: I just recently bought a whole case of cherries because they were on sale for a great price. What are some ideas that I can do with them other than making jam? Ron S. Abbotsford, BC Dear Ron: There are many great ways to serve cherries. They add a great contrasting colour and flavour to green salads, and are also delicious in custards, sorbets, ice cream, fruit salads, and pies. Black Forest Cake is another famous dessert with cherries. You can also try making cherry wine or macerating them in vodka to make your own cherry liqueur. Try searching the Internet or the library and I am sure you will come up with many great recipes for serving and preserving cherries!

Check out What’s In Store – Thrifty Mama’s refocuses By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
WHAT’S IN STORE is the new name of Thrifty Mamas. Kim Takatch, co-owner, pictured, says that the change was made to reflect new stock of work from local artists and craftspeople.
A local business is getting a new name and a broader focus. Thrifty Mamas has become What’s In Store, to reflect how the business is now about selling items on consignment from local artists and crafts people. Kim Takatch, co-owner, says the old name made sense when the store opened, as they sold used children’s and maternity wear as well as used books, but while that will still be in the store the new arts section means it’s no longer just a thrift store, so the name should reflect the greater variety. “We have hand-sewn items, we have metalwork, we have a new soup product, and all kinds of new stuff coming in as well. We wanted to make sure that people didn’t associate
us as just a thrift store anymore, we are now more of a gift shop,” Takatch says. There was always a desire to get local artists in the store, Takatch says, and she feels that the community needs outlets for these artists a way to reach an audience. Takatch says that the more places where an artist can show and sell in a community, the better it is for everyone. “I want to help people who are doing the farmer’s market, or people who are just starting out I want to help them build their business.”
She says that the community has shown a lot of support from the change, with many artists coming forward to get featured in the store. Space is limited, but she says that she’s glad to see people embrace the new change. “We love this community, we moved here for a reason and this is why we’re doing this, for the community,” Takatch says. If there are any artists interested in consigning their items with the store, Takatch says they should drop by the store or call 306-782-4424.
Yorkton declares State of Emergency Con’t from Page 1.
As you can see the ponds are very full right now, in fact they’re flooding, and we’re doing our best to pump those down and relieve pressure on our system, but I think those dollars are well spent. Every time we look at our drainage, we think we can save a little money on drainage and then we get this,
which is unprecedented.” Part of the problem, especially on the north end of the city, comes down to timing. Work scheduled on the Dracup corridor would have helped with the situation, and the work is planned to be complete in two months. “When that work is completed it will go a long way to alleviate the issues that we have, and it’s just
unfortunate in the timing of it,” Maloney says. Yorkton got lucky however, and Maloney notes that many communities in the province had significantly more rain and bigger issues. He says that they did not request provincial support so that other communities such as Melville and Redvers which had larger rainfall could access it. People with damage will need to go through insurers for sewer damage, or go through PDAP for coverage, which the city has applied for. Residents will be able to apply for coverage through that, and forms will be available soon. Residents who need to get rid of ruined material in their basements can use the flood relief dumpsters at Park Street, the Public Works Yard, MC Knoll School and St. Paul’s School. The City of Yorkton’s emergency numbers are: 306-828-2490, 306828-2491, 306-828-2494, 306-8282495. These numbers will remain in effect until further notice. The city’s website at www.yorkton.ca will also have information about PDAP applications and companies which will help in repairs.

Sask. – a good reason to celebrate With Canada Day celebrations just winding up, we should also take the time to celebrate Saskatchewan and the great province more and more people are calling home. At one time we wondered if we would ever pass the one million mark and today there’s no stopping us. According to the statistics Saskatchewan’s population continues to grow, increasing by more than 5,000 people in the first quarter of 2014. As of April 1, 2014 there were 1,122,588 people living in the province – an increase of 5,085 people since January 1, 2014, and an increase of 21,180 people in the past year. Saskatchewan’s quarterly and annual growth rates are both second-highest among the provinces, behind only Alberta. Economy Minister Bill Boyd points out the steady growth is a sign of a strong and diversified economy. And so it must be. “Saskatchewan is now starting its eighth consecutive year of strong population growth, a far cry from the years when we were actually losing people,” Boyd says. “There are more jobs and opportunities in Saskatchewan than ever before and that’s why today, more people than ever before call Saskatchewan home.” Saskatchewan’s growth in the first quarter of 2014 consisted of a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 1,211, net international migration of 3,080 and net interprovincial migration of 794. Saskatchewan’s net interprovincial migration rate was also the second highest among the provinces, behind Alberta. Saskatchewan’s largest net gains were from Ontario (603) and Manitoba (253). “A growing population is good for our province... It means more opportunities and it also means more challenges. Our government is working hard to ensure that growth continues and that we are meeting the challenges of a growing province.” And these are the good news happenings that make both Canada and our province excellent reasons to appreciate and celebrate.
And once again, the system fails It’s a sad, sad state of affairs I tell you. On one hand we see a young girl looking at life in prison for stopping on the highway to save the lives of a family of ducks and on the other, we see a man who chained up a 16 year old boy for 10 days and raped him repeatedly get just two years behind bars. What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong with the people making these decisions? And better yet, how can we change things around? It’s been ridiculous lately, the things we have been seeing happen in Canada’s courts. You can cut the head off a sleeping bus passenger, murder your children or some other innocent victim and walk away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist, but heaven forbid you try to do a kind deed. Unreal. Sixty-five year old John MacKeen from Nova Scotia has just been sentenced to two years behind bars for a crime that is unthinkable, sparking rage across the country, and rightly so. From what I understand, MacKeen reportedly paid two men to kidnap a 16 year old boy. Tying him up and gagging him, he held him prisoner and raped him at whim for 10 days. He claims the acts were consensual. Really?
Understandably so, the teen has been left traumatized. No doubt forever. The mother of the victim says her son – now 17 – carries machetes around the house because he thinks he needs to protect Shannon Deveau himself. He puts large knives in her room also, thinking she needs protection, too, and she says peace has disappeared from their lives. The teen suffers daily outbursts of anger and sobbing, he’s suicidal “and he lives in such a state of despair and relives his ordeal” and what was done to him. His mom says, “Not only did you rape a young boy... but you raped his body, you raped his soul, you raped his future, and that is something that cannot be fixed and I am left with trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life...” Meanwhile, MacKeen will be held in protective custody, fed three square meals a day and be back on the streets in two short years. How truly sad. I don’t care how nice of a guy he appeared to his friends, family and neighbors, this is a sick individual who deserves a far worse fate. Like most Canadians, I’m sick and tired of hearing outcomes like this. Tough on crime you say? I would beg to differ.
The way I see it... Column
I cannot trust technology to move me around Google is heavily promoting their driverless car, suggesting that it’s the future of mobility, that the driver is going to be unnecessary to get around and a driverless future will be safe and easy. Having navigated around a city using their mapping software, I am not quite so confident in their declarations. There are possibilities with a driverless car that are not possible with people behind the wheel. The cars all can talk to each other in ways that people cannot, which would mean that accidents could be prevented somewhat. The majority of accidents involving people are basically examples of miscommunication, as a person does not know what the person going in the other direction is actually doing. With that out of the way, it is theoretically safer. I use the word theoretically deliberately because I am not sure that it would actually be safer, given that computers work in their own little world that is not always aligned with what makes sense in reality. For example, Google maps loves suggesting people do U-turns in places where a U-turn is either completely illegal or just generally very unsafe. Now, this might be possible in a world with no drivers, though I suspect even then you’re just not going to have an opening. It is not at all possible in a place where there are people behind the wheel, because it is simply not safe
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger in any sense of the term. Yet, this is something a computer thinks is a great idea. It’s also not necessarily precise, getting you within the general area of your destination. If you are driving that’s fine, because you can see house numbers and business names and know you’re not far from where you need to go. If you have no control, that becomes a major issue, because it will need to park and you might be several blocks away from where you actually need to park. These are minor bugs, you might say, that these little hiccups with the maps themselves could be ironed out and everything will eventually become safe and reliable. The problem is, these are the bugs we
know about because we have the software they already have available. Software is only as smart as the people programming it, and the problem with these self-driving vehicles is that we’re always going to be encountering bugs, always going to be discovering things that software simply does not know how to handle, and finding out ways that a driver would be very handy for actually getting from place to place. Cars themselves often need a driver just to go from place to place. Snow confuses most traction control systems, for example, and while it continues to get better, without a driver you’re just going to have streets filled with driverless cars smack into trees and stuck in the middle of the street. Google claims that they haven’t had any accidents where their driverless car has been at fault. That’s believable, but they also have largely been testing in California on highways, and in areas where the team is familiar with the terrain. That’s clear enough when their navigation systems make incredibly stupid decisions throughout Saskatchewan cities, places where Google employees don’t live, work and know intimately. I want to see them throw one of these machines into Saskatoon in a snowstorm, and then we’ll see if they are still touted as everybody’s future of mobility.

Your letter of the Week
Billion dollar boondoggle
Let’s not sugar coat things
To the Editor: Since 2006, British Columbia has spent more than a billion dollars to improve primary healthcare. Have B.C. patients benefited from such a massive investment? Sadly, no. Good primary care – access to doctors and nurses for general health concerns – means we can quickly and easily access services and get referrals to more specialized services when needed. Primary care providers also maintain a patient record, monitor chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, help prevent disease, and coordinate care with specialists or in hospitals. Difficulty finding a doctor or getting a timely appointment means patients very reasonably turn to walk-in clinics or the emergency room. However, a lack of follow-up and coordination can mean new problems aren’t caught early, and ongoing conditions aren’t well managed. This is bad for patients, and costly for the health system. Other provinces have recognized this problem, and changed how primary care is organized, introducing group practices and inter-professional teams (including physicians, but also nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and dietitians). They have also worked on building stronger systems for coordinating care, and new models of paying healthcare providers in-
tended to encourage quality rather than volume. B.C, on the other hand, has focused on trying to change the behaviour of individual family doctors. How? Largely through a sizable carrot: incentive payments totalling more than $700 million of the $1 billion spent. Dozens of new fee codes have been introduced since 2003, so that fam-
sicians work on salary, but these are exceptions, not the norm; Recent B.C. reforms did nothing to encourage their development. The General Practice Services Committee estimates that incentive payments in B.C. have increased the annual incomes of participating doctors by $32,000. So it is clear that doctors’
“In other words, patients do not appear to have improved access to their primary care physician, and their care continues to be fractured, handled across a range of individuals and settings.” ily doctors now receive additional payments for the management of patients with chronic diseases, providing mental healthcare, maternity care, palliative care, and health risk assessments, and communicating with other care providers about patients. The new payments are on top of the regular fees paid to doctors for patient visits. The aim is to encourage family doctors to return to a traditional model of “full-service family practice,” where patients are connected to a single doctor who meets all of their primary care needs. This means relying on fee-forservice payments and not building inter-professional teams. There are clinics in the province where such teams exist and phy-
earnings have increased sizably, but what is less clear is whether patients are receiving higher quality care as a result. Our recent study on the care provided by B.C. family doctors, published in Healthcare Policy, does not provide encouraging results. We used 20 years of data to look at services provided by family doctors in B.C. We found that the number of patients who receive a majority of their services from one doctor continues to fall, which implies that patients are seeing more individual physicians each year. Access to care after hours, and in settings other than the office (home, hospital, and long-term care), declined in the period leading up
to investments, and then continued to fall at the same rate after. In 1991, 96 per cent of family physicians saw patients outside of office hours. This fell to 79 per cent by 2001, and after investing in reform, reached 59 per cent in 2010. In 1991, 92 per cent of B.C. doctors saw patients at home, falling to 76 per cent in 2001. In 2010, only 55 per cent made a home visit. In other words, patients do not appear to have improved access to their primary care physician, and their care continues to be fractured, handled across a range of individuals and settings. An Auditor General report released in February concluded the B.C. government could not demonstrate that physician services are high quality or that compensation for those services offers the best value for taxpayers. Family doctors are highly skilled and deserve to be fairly compensated, and pay disparities with other specialist physicians need to be addressed. However, a growing body of research, in addition to our study, suggests that incentive payments are not a reliable way to improve quality of care. Research also tells us that the majority of newly practicing physicians in BC would prefer alternatives to the traditional fee-for-service system. Perhaps the time is ripe for change.

The consquences of under funding
To the Editor:
The Bethune Doppler Weather Radar Station (northwest of Regina) went out of commission for four days at the end of last week. It was also broken last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that – typically, right in the middle of the high-risk season for summer storms. Professional storm chasers say the Bethune Station has become a common joke. Environment Canada says it’s just bad luck. But the bottom line is this – the Doppler system at Bethune has experienced chronic problems over several years and the federal government needs to get it fixed once and for all. Farmers depend on weather radar for critical cropping informa-
tion quite literally every day, and the general population rely on the system for advance storm warnings. It’s a matter of basic public safety, and it needs to be reliably available all of the time. This is a basic responsibility of the Government of Canada. In addition, technology has advanced significantly since Canada’s Doppler system was first deployed. Beyond basic repair and maintenance, the system should be upgraded and more stations added to make the overall Canadian radar network more comprehensive. But this is not a priority for the Harper government. Budget cutting is their only mantra. Why has Bethune failed four consecutive years in a row? Why does it take four days or more to get to the site and fix it? This smacks of under-funding, ne-
glect and mismanagement. Since 2012, Parliament has approved over $300-million to upgrade Canadian meteorological services over some six years, but every year, tens of millions of dollars in Environment Canada’s capital budget gets “lapsed” – i.e., announced, but not actually invested. This a wellknown Harper government tactic. We’ve seen it in infrastructure, defence procurement, and many other fields. They’re all being shortchanged. And meanwhile, the Bethune weather radar station remains as weak and vulnerable as ever, and the federal government is showing no sense of urgency for those who depend upon it. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.
Going private isn’t the best option for Sask. To the Editor: I write in response to the letter by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Minister Don McMorris, whom the government has tasked to work towards selling off the 79 SLGA stores Saskatchewan people currently own. In his letter, McMorris defends the government’s move to close down three small-town stores, and dismisses
concerns that the government will lose a lot of revenue if it privatizes all government SLGA stores. The fact is, the government-owned liquor stores in Saskatchewan bring in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. That money goes to hospitals and highways. Although SLGA stores are profitable, they really need some modernization. Instead of selling all
our liquor stores, Cam Broten is proposing longer hours, much better selection and more flexible pricing at SLGA stores – things the government could do right away if it had the will. Cam has also said he’s open to a model similar to Manitoba’s that would allow SLGA to open liquor sections in grocery stores, making it convenient to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner while shopping for groceries.
McMorris is right that we have a hybrid system that includes both public and private stores. Hanging for sale signs in front of the 79 stores we already own to go to a private-only system is one plan the government shouldn’t plow ahead with. Cathy Sproule, NDP critic for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority
To the Editor: Don McMorris, Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA), attempts to brush aside concerns about the closure of four small town liquor stores in a June 18 letter. The minister tries to soft-sell the fact that the SLGA is shutting down stores in Ituna, Kerrobert, Ponteix and Langenburg, by suggesting that these stores are not being closed, they are being ‘converted’. The facts suggest otherwise. SLGA will no longer own and operate a store in any of these four small towns. The buildings owned by the SLGA will be sold. The jobs of the store managers and staff, small town residents, will be eliminated. Finally, the net revenue earned by the four stores – $4.1 million in the past five years - will no longer be generated by those stores and returned to the government treasury to fund schools, hospitals and roads. The government claim is that the service will continue because an existing local business will now be licensed as a franchise and permitted to sell alcohol. But the end result is that an established, community-oriented service will be gone and jobs lost, while an existing business simply expands its inventory. What will this mean for those small towns that will be losing their liquor stores? They will lose good, family-supporting jobs that help keep local businesses and services viable. They will also lose the customers from surrounding areas who come to shop at the liquor store and stay to have lunch at a local restaurant or fill up at the local gas station. Will selection and access be the same once the liquor store is gone? Probably not. Private franchises do a good job of providing a service to small communities without an SLGA store. But they typically do not offer the same level of selection. An existing business, like a convenience store or a drug store, is unlikely to have the shelf space or the ability to offer a wide-ranging selection. In practice, franchises carry less stock than rural SLGA stores. As for access, hours of operation could also be reduced. Private franchises can set their own hours. Some close up shop at 5:00 p.m. on a Friday. Despite the public relations spin the minister is putting on these rural store closures, it seems pretty clear that the government is cutting back services in small town Saskatchewan. The end result will be fewer good jobs for local families, reduced selection and access, and lost economic opportunities in those communities. Government made the decision to close these four rural stores without consultation or warning. Residents in other small towns may find themselves wondering – ‘who’s next?’ Donna Christianson, Regina, SK.

The farmer is trained – life is an adventure Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Mmm! This nice warm weather brings a particular song from Porgy and Bess to mind: Summertime and the living is easy. Time has come to prepare the garden. Well, firstly Marion finally conceded that we don’t have to grow the potatoes inside, so she took the indoor canvas potato growing bag back to the store. Good thing too, as I could not figure out how I or Marion would be able to hill the potato plant in our living room! I fired up my 4020, and Marion showed me where she wanted the garden, somewhat in front of our kitchen window. I had promised her that I would remove the sod with the tractor bucket, and lay on some nice clean composted sheep manure. One of the previous owners had a
flock of sheep which he kept in an old barn over winter, and he scraped all the sheep poop into two big mounds before the barn collapsed the following summer. With the 4020 nicely warmed up, I tilted the bucket slightly, pushed the front edge into the ground and crept forward. I got a little bit of sod at the start, but then the bucket just glided on top of the grass. I backed up and did it again; only this time I had a greater tilt on the bucket. I was taking off sod alright, and Marion came running over and made me stop. “Look at that big hole! The way you’re going,” she said, “you’ll be parking the tractor upside down in a barn in China!” I stood up and looked, and had to admit that she was right, I had excavated a deep hole. Having been in sales all my life, I’m pretty quick responding to objections.
“Of course I have to excavate,” I said with a big smile, “that way you’ll get a nice deep bed of virgin sheep composted soil!” My overcoming objections skill must have gotten a bit rusty, because she didn’t buy it! Oh well, I finally managed to scrape off enough sod for the garden, and got many buckets full of sheep compost spread out on top. When I was done, Marion actually had to concede that it looked good! Roland Larsen and I had a table with our books at the first annual MomA-Me-A trade show in Canora recently. There were a lot of exhibitors there, but very few people attended the trade show, probably because it was the first year. Roland and I will probably share a table there again next year. Just to be clear, neither Roland nor I are forcing our books on anybody. If someone does not want to buy the books, all
they have to say is “No thank you!” Roland and I have heard a few interesting excuses for not buying our books, between the Preeceville trade show and the one in Canora. Here are a few of them: I left my money (or cheque book) at home. Do you take credit cards? My son is too young and cannot read, but you could read to him, he won’t listen. I cannot read, and my wife cannot read either. My wife would kill me. But the best was at the Preeceville show, where a man with a slight British accent picked up my book, looked at it and asked me in a serious manner if I know how to write. When I blurted out a surprised: “What did you say?” He asked if I had a Ph.d in English, to which I replied: “I am Norwegian and had to learn English as my second language, but when you learn how to read, I’m sure you will enjoy my book!” He didn’t
say a word after that, just put the book down and walked away. Two old retired Norwegians, Ole and Sven, were sitting together on a park bench feeding the pigeons. All of a sudden Sven broke out in a hysterical laughter. Ole got a little frightened by this, but he waited until Sven had settled down. “What was so funny?” asked Ole. “Well,” said Sven, “just to keep my spirits up, I was sitting here telling myself some old jokes. But then all of a sudden I told myself a really funny joke that I haven’t heard before!” A Norwegian criminal gang called the Norse Mafia consisted of three members, Ole, Sven and Lars. After a lengthy police investigation they were caught and charged with having committed a string of very serious criminal offences. The three of them were sentenced to 10 years in soli-
tary confinement. However, due to the length of the solitary confinement, each one of them were told that they could bring with them whatever they would need to pass the time. After due consideration, Ole was allowed to bring his wife with him. Sven was granted as much beer and aquavit needed to last him the 10 years. Lars however, as per his request was provided with enough cigarettes to last him the 10 years of solitary confinement. On the day of their release, the guards unlocked the door of Ole’s prison cell, and Ole emerged with his wife and six new children. Sven was drunk and just about fell out of his prison cell when the guard opened his door. However, when they opened the door to Lars’s cell, they found him sitting in the corner whimpering: “Anybody got a light?”
Good Spirit Acres happenings Submitted by Carol Olsen The longest day of the year has past, so it must be summer. We have had enough rain for awhile, so everyone think... HEAT! SUNSHINE! Our Community was saddened last month in the loss of our friend, Reg Coles. Reg enjoyed his retirement here, golfing in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. Sincere condolences to Marilyn and his children, Chad and Tanis and their families. We’d like to welcome new residents Ron and Darlene Farrell to our community. We hope that they enjoy their new home and our community. Gladys and Brent Moore are moving to BC to be near their daughter Tracey and her family. We are going to miss them on the golf course and coffee row, but know they will enjoy their new home. Good Spirit Acres Community Association is now on FACEBOOK!! People who are familiar with this media, can get up-to-date information of upcoming events in our community. On July 5 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during Cruisin’ Weekend in the Park, Richard Winters will have his VW Beetle at the Good Spirit Market filled with balloons. For $2.00, residents and visitors can make a guess on how many balloons there are in Richard’s car. The winner will receive a gift certificate from the Good Spirit Market. This is a fundraiser for the Community Assoc. With hopes of making improvements to Spilchen Meadows. Jocelyn Winters will be holding a “Kids Club” during July and August every Wed. From 10 – 11 a.m. starting July 2 (but excluding July 9) until August 27th at Spilchen Meadows for children ages two to ten.

FLOODED OUT - Bad luck from Mother Nature of the Canada Day long weekend affected everyone in the Parkland area as heavy rain led to flooding in both Yorkton and Melville, naturally cancelling WMBL baseball in the area.
Flooding washes out Cards Canada Day
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
A wet summer has been a letdown for the Western Major Baseball League, but flooding throughout the Canada Day long weekend officially put the local ballclub’s seasons on hold as Yorkton and Melville experienced heavy rain that wiped out play for the near future as both the Cardinals and Millionaire’s fields were unplayable in addition to the serious flooding in Melville closing off Highway 10 all but forcing the cancellation of Canada Day baseball. Perhaps it was in good taste as more serious issues have crept into the minds of many in the area who have been affected by the flooding of the Parkland area. Many having their basements flooded with water overflowing thanks to heavy storms that did not let up over the weekend. As for an on the field impact for the Cardinals the rain wiped away not only the conditions at Jubilee Park with large pools of rain, but also a huge opportunity to get back on track after falling to 7-11 before the long weekend. Playing all of their games at home, the rain effectively delayed the Cardinals homestand as
well as a chance to play in front of the traditionally large Canada Day crowds that flock the ballpark for some Canadian baseball on Canada’s birthday. Something that first year Cardinals player and Yorkton native Derek Marshall noted was a bit of a disappointment after getting excited for the homestand before Mother Nature reared her ugly head. “Growing up in Yorkton you know Canada Day is a big event in town every year and whenever the Cardinals play usually a big crowd comes out to watch some ball at Jubilee Park so it was definitely something all of the guys as well as myself were looking forward to,” says Marshall who played college ball down south in Illinois before coming back home to play his summer ball in Yorkton to no surprise. Beyond the cancellation of the ballgames was the Cardinals eagerness to get back to work after dropping two games to the Medicine Hat Mavericks, something Marshall noted has the Cardinals motivated and ready to get back into the win column. “After getting back to .500 and dropping a few games before the weekend all of the guys want to get back onto the field and get back to work,”
Marshall says. “With a good chunk of games at home after starting off on the road a lot this is a good chance for us to get back on track so the cancellations definitely have been a bit of a setback.” Another factor that the rain delays present is the effect that doubleheaders and a compressed schedule will have on players, particularly the pitching staff which will surely be stretched out the more games get pushed back into an already busy final month of the season for Yorkton. As it stands, the Cardinals play 27 games in 28 days to complete their WMBL regular season schedule before a potential run in the playoffs. Something that Marshall admits will be a grind for every team in the league going forward. Marshall, a utility player mostly playing second base for the Cardinals despite pitching often during his Yorkton Minor Baseball career relates to the pitchers who he knows are going to have a rough slate of work left ahead of them as games continue to pile up on the back end of the 2014 WMBL schedule across the league. “Anytime you are playing these many games in a short amount of time it is going to
be a grind on arms as well as bodies just to play out a long schedule,” Marshall explains while adding he hopes that the wet weather is behind us. “Hopefully the rainouts can stop for awhile so we can get this schedule played out.” As for an off the field impact with so many homes seeing basement flooding thanks to the unfortunate recent weather events, Marshall says that the Cardinals have seen billets homes affected by rain spilling into basements and notes that the players have been trying to help out as much as possible. “Lots of players billets have had their homes flooded so all the players have been trying to help out with fixing some of the damage, getting water out of basements and whatever else we can do to get through this and get back to baseball when the weather finally clears up.” The Cardinals are scheduled to play four games at home next week. Hosting the Regina Red Sox on July 4 and July 7 before hosting the Melville Millionaires on July 8 as they return to action. Hopefully for good as the city looks to return from Mother Nature delaying life as well as Canada Day this week.
Roughriders off to quick start to 2014 season By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Each week of the 2014 CFL Season, The News Review Sports will break down the latest Saskatchewan Roughriders news and notes as the 2013 Grey Cup champs look to defend their title. Despite flooding in the streets of Regina making life difficult for the diehard Riders fans travelling to Taylor Field for Sunday’s 2014 home opener to greet the defending Grey Cup champs, there was no shortage of things to cheer about once fans
did get into the stadium as Saskatchewan once again blew out the Hamilton TigerCats in what was a carbon copy of their 2013 Grey Cup triumph despite several key pieces missing for the first time. Missing former superstars in Weston Dressler and Kory Sheets after both jumped to AFC West teams in the NFL in the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders during the offseason, quarterback Darian Durant and the Roughriders defence picked up more than enough of their former teammates workload in what was a very convincing 31-10 victory to brighten the spirits of a province where many had
their Canada Day’s ruined by wet weather. With road teams struggling in Week One of the CFL season after the temporary labour dispute between the league and players led to a shorter training camp, Hamilton found they were no exception to the trend as after the Calgary Stampeders thrashed Montreal on Saturday the defending champions sent out an equal message that they will be back as favourites to lift the Grey Cup even without the likes of Sheets and Dressler in the fold. Cont. on Page 14.
Page 14A - THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 3, 2014
Roughriders beat the elements, Ti-Cats in blowout Cont. from Page 13 New running back Anthony Allen was perhaps the biggest breakout star in a game dominated by a mix of familiar and new faces on offense. Playing in his first CFL game, the former Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills product showed that the Riders running game is still capable of carrying them to victory with an impressive 156 yard, one touchdown performance on the ground that was matched with 20 yards receiving as well as a touchdown catch to show off the former Super Bowl champion’s versatility. Wet conditions also didn’t seem to slow down Darian Durant’s 2014 debut as the recipient of a big offseason payday after winning the Grey Cup ensured that questions wouldn’t be asked of his ability to remain at the highest level of CFL quarterbacks without his two most dangerous weapons with 15/22 passing for 138 yards and two touchdowns in a game that was ill suited to throwing the ball through the air for big yardage thanks to the wet and stormy atmosphere. Still Durant’s connections to new targets in Allen and Brett Swain for touchdowns were enough to deem his first performance of the season as a productive one, even if he only threw for 138 yards and an interception. Not needing to do much with the Riders defense dominating the game
for long stretches, Durant’s veteran leadership and game management may not of showed up in the box score but it allowed the Roughriders to take home a no nonsense victory while allowing the team to build confidence in their rushing attack as they chewed up clock in the second half after leading 24-1 at halftime. Most impressive on the day was the Roughriders defence, who picked up 10 quarterback sacks in the win, getting to Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros early and often. Linebacker Brian Peters had no problem likening their performance on defence to that of their Grey Cup victory, driving home the fact that the Roughriders feel that they are still the same champs despite being nearly 10 starters less going into 2014. “Was it similar to the Grey Cup? Yes,’’ Riders linebacker Brian Peters said after Sunday’s game during a press conference according to the Leader-Post. “Even though we have different personnel and different guys, we’re still the same team.’’ “We came out fast in the Grey Cup and we came out fast (Sunday),’’ said Peters, who had three defensive tackles, one of the Riders’ 10 sacks and a forced fumble. “On defence we had a few two-and-outs to start the game. Our offence was moving the ball, which gave the defence a break. Once we get rolling, we’re a

tough team to stop.’’ On the offence, Anthony Allen and the Riders offensive line were undoubtedly the star of the show in an ugly football game that demanded a strong performance in the trenches that was delivered from the men up front who allowed their new starting running back shine. Allen, a former NFL player just like former Rider Sheets, didn’t forget to credit his offensive line like a true pro. “The offensive line did a great job of blocking,’’ said Allen. “Knowing that it was going to rain, we knew that we had to run the ball. The offensive line did a great job of part-
ing the way for me.’ When it came to the weather affecting the result of the game, head coach Corey Chamblin noted the wet weather has been here for awhile which helped them succeed in tough conditions. “We’ve had the wind in training camp, we’ve had the rain in training camp,” Chamblin said. “When you look at it, it’s funny because the last time these two teams played, the weather wasn’t great then, either.” “It’s just something that we’re getting used to getting to the point that the weather shouldn’t be a factor for us.” Next up for
Saskatchewan is a trip East to Ontario where they will be taking on the Argos in Toronto on Saturday for their Week Two matchup. Saskatchewan will once again be favoured going into the game despite being on the road, as the Argos were blown out on the road by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL season opener last Thursday. Former Rider Drew Willy threw for four touchdowns to give Winnipeg a 45-21 win that exposed the Argos defence. Despite the confidence of the Riders and the clear dominance on the field as well as the scoreboard, the jury still should be out on
exactly how good the 2014 Saskatchewan Roughriders truly are. After all, not much can be learned from a blowout win in terrible conditions in Week One of the long CFL season. Despite giving their fans something to cheer about and confidence that the loss of their former heroes is not the end of the Roughriders chances of repeating as Grey Cup champs, fans shouldn’t be hinging to this win as evidence that the Riders are the best team in the league. That will be determined soon enough, but for now the Riders are finding out that even a storm can’t rain on their parade quite yet.

2014 World Cup: Quarterfinal previews, thoughts After a thrilling week of Round of 16 matches ultimately resulted in all eight group winners advancing despite valiant efforts from each underdog nation, the 2014 World Cup is set with what is a classic set of quarterfinal matches. Hosts Brazil will take on undefeated dark horse Colombia who are looking to give their country the World Cup dream they thought they had in 1994 before tragedy struck, but only after European rivals France and Germany clash in the early quarterfinal match on Friday. Then on Saturday South America contenders Argentina will take on Belgium in a battle of unbeaten teams who both needed extra time goals to escape Round of 16 upsets on Tuesday while Netherlands will try to avoid falling victims to another upset from Costa Rica as the Dutch take on the Ticos. `Excited for the second stage of the World Cup knockout round? Here is what you need to know about each matchup: France vs. Germany For the past 20 plus years two of the most consistent nations in international football have undoubtedly been the French and the Germans. The track record speaks for itself with both Germany and France hovering near the Finals of most major tournaments as if the French weren’t contending, surely the Germans were filling the void even when Spain was dominating everyone for the past half decade. Now with Spain out of the picture there is a chance for two nations that haven’t seen their consistency rewarded with a trophy in over a decade will be faced up against each other with an opportunity to make it to the World Cup semifinals and face the winner of Brazil and Colombia. For France a win would get them one step closer to removing the taste of disgrace out of the minds of French
fans who felt cheated when their players turned on their manager during the 2010 World Cup and failed to get out of the group stage after making the 2006 Final. As for the Germans, their “Golden Generation” has made it to the Euro 2008 Final and semifinals in the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, often finding themselves crushed by Spain. With their old nemesis out of the picture, battling injuries is the key to Germany realizing their destiny as well as finding consistent play out of their fullbacks as they were exposed at times against Algeria. Against a French team led by Karim Benzema and Olivier Giroud, that simply cannot happen as France will be able to finish the chances on the counter that Algeria did not. Regardless it is hard to see past a German team that has so much world class talent in attack as well as the midfield. Throw in the presence of the world’s best keeper in Manuel Neuer and Germany’s World Cup dream should continue even if manager Jogi Low would be better served playing players with more pace on the defensive wings. Germany’s depth in attack results in another late win, potentially off the boot of Miroslav Klose who is still one goal away from becoming the best World Cup scorer of all time. Prediction: Germany 3-1 Brazil vs. Colombia Many causal fans were left shocked that the host Brazil were nearly upset by a resilient Chile in their first knockout round performance, but for those who paid attention to their play during the group stages it was not surprising that a Brazil side that drew Mexico was taken to penalties. Fact of the matter for Brazil is that they struggle to score for whatever reason, mostly because strikers Fred and Jo are accomplished only in
Ruttig’s rants Column Chase their domestic league and fail to compliment the world class play of Neymar and Oscar on the wings. Meanwhile Colombia has no such problems as James Rodriguez has been a revelation during the World Cup, scoring the goal of the tournament against Uruguay in a two goal performance. He is not Colombia’s only dangerous player either, and while many will once again pick the hosts to go through, do not be shocked if Colombia continue to run their opponents to the ground with the best counter attack at the World Cup. Prediction: bia 2-1 Argentina gium
Colomvs.
Bel-
Two teams with loaded attacks who failed to score inside of 90 minutes will look to turn it around when Belgium and Argentina clash. Argentina needed 118 minutes to score against Switzerland, nearly getting eliminated and taken to penalties if not for some disappointing finishing that eventually doomed the Swiss as Messi’s assist to Angel Di Maria proved to be the decider in a 1-0 victory. For Belgium they failed to score after 90 minutes thanks to a world class performance from American Tim Howard, but two goals in the first half of extra time allowed them to hold on despite also nearly losing. American finishing also giving them new life as Chris Wondolowski and Clint Dempsey misses prevented a United States upset. This match will likely come down to finishing, something that both
SUMMER CONSTRUCTION SEASON TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS This summer there will be a number of road closures and detours to enable repairs to Yorkton’s streets and roads. Please expect closures or delays at the following locations: • The Hamilton Rd. & Hwy #9 intersection • York Rd. at Dracup Ave. • Dracup Ave. from York Rd. to Darlington St. • Darlington St. from Dracup Ave. to Mayhew Ave. Please watch for further notices, follow detours, obey all signage and be safe in construction zones.

teams have surprisingly lacked despite having undefeated records and wins in all of their matches. Argentina on paper would appear to be most likely to turn things around based on the connection between Messi and Di Maria, but Belgium have been the World Cup dark horses since forever and also haven’t cracked yet. Expect another match that will come down to final minute fireworks, but with the atmosphere likely to be tilted towards the South Americans thanks to neighbouring Argentina’s large support in Brazil it is hard seeing Messi and company not living to fight one more day.

ta Rica After three matchups between pre-tournament contenders, the quarterfinals will close with a David vs. Goliath contest as Costa Rica will look to ride their Cinderella run one step further after escaping on penalties against Greece after taking a red card.
The Dutch also needed some heroics from Wesley Snjeider and Arjen Robben to come from behind with two minutes left to beat Mexico 2-1 in their Round of 16 matchup, momentum that has me thinking of a Netherlands rout in this one. Prediction: Holland 3-0

Page 18A - Thursday, July 3, 2014 - the news review
All hands on deck this summer holiday Summer is here and you are looking at your deck or patio and wondering how much longer it’s going to last. Is it starting to splinter? Are the stones rough and painful to walk on? How are you going to find the time or money to fix it without cutting into your free time or without blowing the budget? It’s no secret that a deck replacement is a big investment – one many of us like to avoid where possible. So, before you dig into your wallet or get out the sledge hammer, make sure you’ve explored your options. First, start by checking your deck or patio carefully to make sure the structural integrity is sound. Improving the look of a deck that is damaged won’t extend its life. The same goes for a path or patio that has heaved excessively over the winter or is full of puddles after it rains. In those cases, a more significant repair, or replacement, is needed.
A Small Repair Sometimes the entire deck isn’t in need of an update, just certain trouble spots. In this case, there’s no reason to do an overhaul – just a simple touch up is needed. For example, if you’re experiencing cracks in cement or divots in your wood, there are a number of filler solutions available today that can help combat these issues. A Fresh Look If your wooden deck is still structurally sound but visibly in need of help, it may be time to consider a fresh stain. When taking on a stain project be sure to properly prep and finish your surfaces – cleaning and sanding prior to staining, and using a quality clear coat or sealer following application, will provide the best results and longer-lasting protection. A Firm Fix If your deck is beyond simple beautification, but structurally sound, the answer may be to ’restore’ it. New products available
on the market such as Restore (by Rust-Oleum) are allowing homeowners to update the look and durability of their decks without having to replace. And what most people love is that it’s thicker than most other deck coatings, allowing it to be applied
right onto existing surfaces without stripping or sealing. “Restore is an advanced coating designed to reinvigorate your wooden decks, concrete patios and even vertical surfaces such as retaining walls,” says Lawrence Genga, the
senior director of marketing and research and development at Rust-Oleum Consumer Brands Canada. “Its thick application fills in imperfections, locks down splinters, and provides lasting protection against moisture and the damaging effects of the
sun. It’s also slip-resistant.” With product options like this, you can be sure that a deck or patio restoration will be at the top of every ’honey-do’ list this summer. www.newscanada.com

It appears that growth continues in the business sector of the YBID. Growth only takes place when confidence in the market place is there for investors. It appears that confidence is there. Here are but a few property developments that have started or are planned to start in the very near future. Congratulations to our YBID Partner â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rediscover Downtown.â&#x20AC;? Recently they put on a major event on 2nd Ave. The idea behind this event was to introduce you the shoppers and clients of YBID Businesses to in fact REDISCOVER DOWNTOWN. It took many hours of planning and hard work to put this one day event together. YBID also thanks members of the Farmers Markets who participated and of course all the great musical talent on the street. YBID continues to support their efforts and we hope there will be more events such as this so that other YBID members can join in. Now if the rain will stay away we have a winning competition. The YBID business address project has now begun. Over the next several weeks staff from Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Signs will be dropping into YBID Member businesses and will offer a new free business address decal, AGAIN THATS FREE! This is part of a project from YBID to make sure all our members comply with the business address bylaw of the city of Yorkton. Failure to display an address or not follow the size of the numbers in the bylaw can result in a fine. If you have any issues or comments about this or any other YBID activities please let us know. Flower pots are out for 2014. If you did not receive a pot please let us know 306 783-9243 as we have about 15 left. Have a great summer!
