Community the focus of the Pow Wow By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Painted Hand Casino Pow Wow has been going for 15 years, and the 2015 event saw strong dancing from the over 350 dancers that came from throughout North America and great music from the 15 drums. Charles Ryder, Painted Hand Casino General Manager says that events like the Pow Wow are something a First Nations company is going to do because they want to keep their culture at the forefront. “It’s our natural way of living and being, to show our culture. It’s the way we lived long ago, so we’re working to bring it back, show it to whoever we can, enjoy it ourselves and be respectful of it too.” The goal is to showcase First Nations culture, Ryder says, and get younger generations involved and interested in their heritage. The sheer number of children in the Farrell Agencies Arena. “If you look at our
dancers, they range from the tiny tots to the golden age. “We respect every category, but it’s those older people that teach the younger ones to learn our culture and get to know it a little better. “From our pipe ceremonies in the morning to the end of the day, our youth are involved in every step in the process.” The dancers come from across North America, as do the drummers who provide the music, and Ryder says you can’t have one without the other. He says they have some of the top drum groups on the continent, and their music is what makes the event. “It’s a lot of work, but at the end of the day it’s beautiful to have it.” The goal is to have a community event, and Ryder believes they achieved it. “I think we truly supported not only the Pow Wow community, but the surrounding community and the City of Yorkton, with all the businesses our visitors touched.”
DANCERS from across North America participated in the 15th Annual Painted Hand Casino Pow Wow, which kicks off the summer Pow Wow season.
Relay for Life enters its fifth year in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Celebrate, remember and fight back. Those are the three goals for the Relay for Life, as it raises money and awareness for cancer in its fifth year in Yorkton. The event takes place on June 19 at 7:00 p.m., running through the night to June 20 at Century Field. Janet Sharpe with the Canadian Cancer Society Yorkton Parkland Unit explains that the three goals of the event define what happens through the
evening. It begins with celebration, as cancer survivors take a victory walk around Century Field to kick off the event. “It’s always very encouraging for people who have just been diagnosed with cancer or people who have someone in their family who has been diagnosed. We have one survivor who is a 45 year survivor of cancer, and we have others who are in the 10s, the 20s and the 30s.” Later in the evening at 10:00 p.m. the luminary ceremony takes
place, which remembers those lost to cancer or currently struggling with the disease, with candles surrounding the track bought in their memory lit over the night to remind relay participants of why they’re there. The fight back is the third component, explains Sharpe, and that covers different ways to fight back. That means raising money, a big part of the relay each year, but it also means teaching people how to make healthier lifestyle changes to prevent cancer, as well as
working to shed light on things that increase risk substantially, such as flavored tobacco products or teenage tanning. At 11:30 p.m. the fight back ceremony will take place, with activities to show how people can improve their chances of living a cancer-free life. “It’s all about ways we can help prevent cancer.” It goes through the night because it’s a way to show in 12 hours what a cancer patient’s journey is through their diagnosis.

bright, gets dark and difficult in the middle of the night before finally reaching the light of dawn, which represents remission. “It’s just very symbolic about what a cancer patient goes through.” The Relay for Life has done well in Yorkton over the past five years, and Sharpe says that it’s an event that encompasses the entire region with a large rural base that comes out every year. It’s an event that is about engaging the community, and Sharpe

RCMP lay charges The Yorkton municipal RCMP have charged a 20-year-old Yorkton man in relation to an incident that closed down all Yorkton schools on the afternoon of May 4. Tanner Edward Lingle faces one count of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. At approximately 12:20 p.m. last Thursday, the detachment received a call that an adult male wearing a t-shirt as a bandana and wielding

Ed, my old neighbor, and self-adopted cousin from Saskatchewan has talked to me every week since we moved. He was grumpy last week that he had to try three times before he reached us. I explained that, we were visiting with our daughter and family, and we had been away watching a stage production of Grease. Our son-in-law is a professional musician, as well as an engineer and was part of the band playing for the musical. Ed remembered the movie with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Ed likes to sing, and he plays his guitar, with some regularity, so he told me that his favorite song from the movie was “Hopeless Devoted to You.” My old neighbor is sure Olivia Newton-John would have been singing it to him if she had been lucky enough to meet him. Ed was deadly serious, so I tried to move on in our discussion. Ed has his seeding wrapped up and is preparing for spraying as the right conditions present themselves. My old neighbor was appalled to hear that I was cutting lawn and trimming hedges at our daughter’s house. He said that I could have done that at Melville, and not wasted my money moving
explains that this is a way to keep as much money as possible going to the causes for which Relay for Life raises money. Examples of where the donations go naturally includes cancer research, but also includes financial assistance for patients who need it for travel and accommodations, in order to make it possible to access treatment, explains Sharpe. There is also a peer support program, to help people who are newly diagnosed.
Educational programs are also a big part of the Canadian Cancer Society, right now a big emphasis being on sun protection for teenagers, emphasizing things like a tanfree grad in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer. “We often hear people say we haven’t discovered a cure yet, but there’s over 200 different types of cancer, they probably all will require a different cure... But we’ve made great advances in treatment, sometimes people don’t even lose their hair anymore, and
a handgun was seen at the Yorkton Regional High School annual car show. Initial reports suggested his face may have been covered evoking fears of a potential terrorist attack. The school division immediately initiated its safety protocol of placing schools in a hold and secure state, which means locking the exterior doors, but allowing normal school activities to continue inside. Christ the Teacher
Catholic Schools followed suit. Police located Lingle a short time later walking on Darlington Street near Victoria Avenue and took him into custody. Staff Sgt. Greg Nichol confirmed rumours that the alleged weapon was not a real gun. Lingle appeared in Yorkton Court June 8. He was remanded in custody pending the preparation of a bail verification report. He is scheduled to appear again on Thursday.
Highway work underway Construction crews are settling into their work as progress continues on more than 30 highway projects. New work this week includes 17 kilometres of paving work on Highway 14 south of Wilkie. In addition, a couple of projects have finished up, including paving Highway 1 west of Qu’Appelle and grading
and paving on Highways 55 and 26 near Meadow Lake. The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall. Additional travel information about

Anyone who likes to cut lawn and trim hedges was weird according to Ed. I also told Ed that I was devoting myself to staying alive in the busy traffic here. It seems like the whole 85,000 people of Chilliwack are on the streets in cars night or day. The drivers here drive over the speed limit and are deadly determined to dent, and demolish any car with a Saskatchewan license plate. Ed had no sympathy for me as he told me that I needed to step on the gas, open my eyes and drive decisively. In heavy traffic, Ed said that it is survival of the fastest. Before Ed signed off Skype, he said that he will devote himself totally to seed time and harvest and everything in between the two. He said that while I’ll have my nose in a Bible, he will be watch-
ing the shifting sand of farm commodity prices. In the Bible, we learn of a woman who was devoted to trying to find a cure for herself. She had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. We know that she suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet, instead of, getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I will receive healing.’ Immediately, her bleeding stopped, and she knew that she experienced healing. Jesus turned around and asked who had touched him. The woman hesitantly came forward and told Jesus why she had touched his cloak. Jesus sent the woman on her way full of peace, free of her suffering. God totally devotes himself to helping anyone who reaches out to him for help.

Saskia and Darrel bring a Canadian sound By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The sounds of The Great Plains are coming to Yorkton. Saskia and Darrel will be bringing their show Song of the Prairies to the Yorkton New Horizons Hall on Thursday, June 18 at 7:00 p.m. Saskia and Darrel come from what she describes as very different, but similar backgrounds, both growing up in rural areas but with an ocean between them, Saskia coming from Holland and Darrel in Saskatchewan. Their background plays into their music, Saskia says, with Darrel’s roots coming through in their more historic songs and the meeting of their different backgrounds informing the music they make. “We both have that down to earth feel in our music... It makes for a very interesting mix, my influence is very European, I love the sweeping beautiful songs with the minor chords. Darrel grew up playing country in the country halls when he was young, at 10 years old he had a guitar and was playing rhythm guitar with country bands.” They’ve played it all, Saskia says, and they say they’ve settled on their style because it’s
organic, something that feels and sounds good. She says that’s why audiences connect, because the music is something everyone in the room recognizes can connect to. “We like it because it’s good music... People go to listen because it’s good music... Everybody leaves smiling.” Saskia describes it as a mix of folk, Celtic and old time music that speak to life in this part of the world. She says that they write songs about people, including prominent historical figures like Louis Riel. They also include songs about the prairie grain elevator and war brides coming to Canada. “It’s songs about Canadian living, and especially rural living.” It’s also about having fun, and the music they make is about connecting to a wide range of people. Playing in the province Saskia says that their music is something a lot of people can relate to, whether it’s connecting with their roots or just enjoying the style of music they make. “We try to entertain everybody, it’s easy going and fun.” The fun comes from the music, but also from the banter with the crowd, Saskia says. Their goal is to make people comfortable and ensure everyone leaves the hall having enjoyed

We go
out in the beginning of the evening to make everyone as comfortable and at ease as we possibly can, with our stories and our songs. Sometimes you poke extreme fun at yourself and that makes people feel as though they are a part of you. We’re all in the same boat in this life.”

The duo plays a wide range of venues, from large to small – and are coming off of a tour of western Europe – but Saskia says that they love playing the smaller venues such as the New Horizons here just for the intimacy of the evening. “The smaller venues are quite cozy, they’re
quite fun and they’re super, super friendly... It’s really relaxing and everybody likes it.” The Great Plains will be in Yorkton on June 18 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door, and are available from Peter at 306-7836109 or Vi at 306-7827218.

CPP expansion plans don’t work The latest musings by the federal government about potentially allowing additional voluntary contributions to the CPP have re-ignited the debate about Canadians and their savings. In addition to the Conservatives shifting positions from opposing expansion to being open to voluntary expansion, the Liberals also abandoned their previous openness to voluntary expansion and now insist mandatory CPP expansion is necessary. As the backdrop to the debate, much media punditry cites as settled fact that most Canadians simply aren’t saving enough money for their retirement. Except when we take a closer look at who isn’t saving and what constitutes “enough savings,” it actually becomes clear that we aren’t talking about the most vulnerable and poorest Canadians. Thanks to the existing CPP, combined with Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement, widespread deprivation among seniors has been largely eliminated in Canada. Rather, what most analyses suggest is that at current rates of saving, many Canadians will not have as high an income stream upon retirement as they do while during their working years. This of course begs the question: so what? Many Canadians may reasonably prefer to spend more now, and less later. Many people, for example, may prefer to spend more while raising a family – with a bigger house and family vacations – while downsizing to a smaller home and more modest lifestyle in their twilight years. The notion that many people are willing and ready to adjust their spending habits seems to have been lost in the discussion, and a mandatory expansion of CPP merely amounts to the government saying: we’re in a better position to tell you when to spend your money than you are. Even more telling is that most of the same people supporting mandatory CPP expansion are the same ones who’ve been insisting that expanded Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) are of no use to most Canadians because they can’t afford to use them. Which begs the question: then how could they afford the additional hit to their budget imposed by increased CPP premiums? And this is without even getting into the consequences to businesses of CPP premium hikes: as with all increased costs, it’s hard to see how there wouldn’t be at least some detrimental impacts on the viability or at least the ability to employ more Canadians for some businesses. At the very least, a voluntary scheme – both for Canadians and their employers – would do less harm than a mandatory premium hike. But forcing them into an expensive, one-size-fits-all option would certainly be ill-advised. Whatever the good intentions of such a scheme, Canadians and their families are better placed than the government to make the planning and investment decisions that are best for their unique circumstances. In short, CPP expansion is a solution in search of a problem – and considering the sobering record of most governments across Canada when it comes to debt and spending, perhaps they should get their houses in order before proclaiming themselves to be experts at planning for our financial future.
Ambulance fees still not fixed The Sask. Party continues to refuse to take action on ambulance fees while patients like Thomas Dale Winacott, a 64-year-old man battling pancreatic cancer, feel forced to refuse an ambulance because of the cost. Winacott was expecting a pricey ambulance bill to arrive in the mail from his March 19 transfer from the Cypress Regional Hospital to Saskatoon’s St. Paul’s. But, before that bill came, he found himself in need of a transfer again, this time on May 14 from Maidstone to the Battleford Union Hospital. Winacott said no to the ambulance. Instead, with an intravenous needle still in his arm, he caught a ride with a family member to the Battleford hospital. There, he waited about seven hours in the emergency department before seeing a doctor, feeling like he was not treated as a transfer nor as an emergency because he arrived by car instead of by ambulance. “I can’t imagine what Dale, his wife and his family have been going through,” said Danielle Chartier, the Opposition critic for Health. “He should be putting his health first – instead, he’s being forced to make risky choices based on the price of health care.” Winacott’s March ambulance bill was for $1,553.20. His monthly medication costs are about $150. Unable to work as he fights the cancer, Winacott and his wife have a household income of less than $30,000 per year. Winacott’s sister has now helped him pay the March bill.
Saskatchewan has the highest ambulance fees in the country, charging a per-kilometre rate without a cap, and charging for medically necessary inter-facility transfers, unlike every other province. Brad Wall and his health ministers have suggested patients should turn to steak nights and private insurance for help with the exorbitant ambulance costs – suggestions that don’t help Winacott, or patients like Darrell Meck. Meck, 61, took out a loan. In May, Meck’s insurance claim was fully denied. Despite his heart condition, the insurer said his emergency transfer from the Esterhazy Hospital to a Regina Hospital while he was experiencing chest pains did not constitute an emergency. Meck is appealing the decision. Winacott recently tried to get private insurance coverage for ambulance service, but was turned away because he’s got cancer. “We hear stories like this far too often,” said Chartier. “The first step in accessing health care is getting there. For people like the Winacott family or the Meck family, or for Sara Bucsis-Gunn, Dave Carr, Calvin Vollet and many, many others who have refused an ambulance or been financially crippled by the bills, this has to stop.” Opposition Leader Cam Broten’s plan includes free transfers between facilities; an end to the per-kilometre taxi-like charges and an end to the ludicrous interest fees the government is charging Saskatchewan families.
Black gold causes one very stupid controversy Tim Horton’s found itself at the center of what is possibly the dumbest controversy I have ever seen over the past week. It started with a bit of cross-promotion, as the company aired advertisements from oil company Enbridge. That raised the ire of people who would rather not hear about oil while they order coffee – enough to start an online petition that garnered 28,000 signatures. In a rare example of an online petition actually changing something, that prompted the coffee chain to pull the ads. That was not the end, because for some reason the right wing side of Canadian society decided that this was a cause worth fighting for, something that could get them back in the forefront of the country’s mind after what has been a pretty bad year for the country’s conservative population. Ezra Levant, still reeling from Sun News getting shut down due in a thunderstorm of indifference, decided to organize a rally in Calgary to protest. The rally was ostensibly in support of the oil field, but it was largely in support of making people pay attention to Levant again, who has been trying to get a right-wing news source established in the wasteland of the internet. The leader of Alberta’s Wildrose Alliance Brian Jean decided to take a stand against the coffee purveyor, loudly declaring that it was a way to support the Alberta oil
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger patch, a way to shore up support in a province that mostly went for the opposite of his party in the most recent election. The move to boycott Tim’s was less about taking a stand for the little guy – Enbridge is hardly a plucky underdog in any scenario – but about getting people to pay attention to conservatives again. After all, they lost their big news network and the entire province of Alberta, things have been going poorly for them all year and we are in the run up to the federal election. Clearly, the momentum has to be shifted if they want it in their favor, and to do that they have chosen to pick a high profile target, create a narrative that expresses support for the working class, and attempt
to spin that into positive press. It’s not going to work because the target they’ve chosen is a very stupid one, they are essentially getting all in a huff because one large corporation isn’t advertising for another large corporation anymore. Tim Horton’s probably should not have agreed to run the ads in the first place, the oil industry is going to be controversial. The television screens of a coffee shop are perhaps not the ideal place to spark a debate about the value of fossil fuels versus the environmental impact. But by pulling the ads they’re not attacking the oil patch, no more so than the countless number of coffee shops that have never aired a single Enbridge ad. The entire controversy is only tangentially about oil, it’s a way for Canada’s right-wing to get people’s attention after the tide turned against them. That they thought supporting a large oil company in a mild disagreement with some coffee shop customers would be the way to get Canadians back on board shows how out of touch they actually are. People are paying attention to Levant and Jean, sure, but how many people are merely reflecting on how the Canadian conservative movement has disappeared so far up their own rear end that they think boycotting a popular coffee stop for spurious reasons will get support?

CPP an investment for retiring
Unpaid caregivers need support
To the Editor: The Canada Pension Plan got support last Friday from an unlikely source - Conservative Finance Minister, Joe Oliver. In praising the CPP, Mr. Oliver contradicted two decades of abuse heaped on the plan by Stephen Harper. Now granted, Mr. Oliver did not intend to be supportive. Instead, he was trying to attack the policies of the Liberal Party. But his rant fell flat because the policies he was attacking were NOT Liberal policies. He just made them up, battling figments of his own imagination. So, all that was left were the nice things he said about the CPP. For example, Mr. Oliver said this: “The CPP Investment Board has posted impressive returns. Because of its focus on protecting Canadians’ retirement savings, the Office of the Chief Actuary projects 75 years of sustainability.” That’s quite a compliment. And all that strength and success
are a direct result of the essential restructuring of the Canada Pension Plan which took place in the late 1990’s under the leadership of then-Finance Minister Paul Martin, in partnership with the Provinces. The vision and courage they mustered to save and bolster the CPP have paid huge dividends. But what was Stephen Harper saying back then? Here’s a sample: “Take all the federal economic boondoggles that have ever happened and multiply them 100-fold, and you’ve got the CPP Investment Board.” Mr. Harper was spectacularly wrong, but he never lets the facts stand in the way of prejudice or ideology. He has been relentless in trying to kill the Canada Pension Plan. In the 1990’s, he called for it to be scrapped, in favour of private RRSPs. Failing that, in his infamous “firewalls” letter in 2001, he urged Alberta to withdraw from it. More recently, when the late Jim Flaherty
proposed “a modest, phased-in and fully funded enhancement” of the CPP because there is “strong support for the Canada Pension Plan and the central role it plays in our government-supported retirement income system”, Mr. Harper cut him off at the knees. To Mr. Harper any such “enhancement” is just a payroll tax. He refuses to recognize any value in comprehensively increasing the investment that Canadians make, through the CPP, in their own personal retirement security. But then, along comes Joe Oliver. Last Friday, he said: “Remember who that money (in the CPP) belongs to – not government, but pensioners and all those who will rely on the CPP in the years to come.” So it’s not a payroll tax. It cannot be, because the money does not go into government coffers. It’s an investment. As Mr. Oliver said, it always “belongs” to the individuals who pay their premiums and who rely on the “impressive returns” of
the CPPIB to make sure their defined benefits are secure for their retirement. Why is Mr. Harper so bent on falsely portraying CPP premiums as “payroll taxes”? Maybe it’s to obscure the fact that he himself is the master of escalating payroll taxes. In 2011, he began a massive hike in Employment Insurance rates. They went up by more than $600-million that year, and then by another $600-million the next year, and then by another $600-million the year after that. And then, in 2014, he froze those rates at that unnecessarily high level until 2017. That means, not including any labour force or wage growth, Mr. Harper has raked in an incremental $10-billion in higher EI rates since 2011. The Parliamentary Budget Officers says that’s at least $5-billion too much. So talk about payroll taxes – Mr. Harper’s CPP complaints ring hollow and hypocritical.

Time for a talk on ATV safety To the Editor: As part of ATV Safety Week from June 6-14, the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) is launching a provincewide awareness campaign called Know Your Limits to help Saskatchewan residents understand their limits while operating an ATV as they off-road for transportation, recreation or work purposes. Unfortunately, we’ve found that there are some ATVers who simply don’t understand their limitations while ATVing – whether they are seasoned veterans or newcomers – and they put themselves and others in potential dangerous situations. For children, picking an ageappropriate vehicle is crucial because children do not possess the physical development to safely drive large ATVs or the cognitive ability to react to potentially dangerous situations. It is recommended that children ride “age appropriate” ATVs: vehicles with
an engine size no greater than 70cc for children under 12 years of age; vehicles with an engine size no greater than 90cc for children under 16 years of age. It is also recommended that children – and ATVers of all ages for that matter – take an ATV safety course to teach and refresh safety skills. There are a number of ways in which people can practice ATV safety before even hitting the trails. The first involves designating an emergency contact and carrying a cell phone or walkie talkie in the event of an emergency. The other involves wearing the proper safety gear: helmet, gloves, ankle boots, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Once ATVing, don’t speed, attempt tricky manoeuvres, or drive on roads and streets (except to cross the road or go around obstacles), because these activities will increase the risk of an accident. Furthermore, we are encouraging ATVers to not carry passengers.
Adding a passenger to a quad designed for one rider can change the dynamics of the machine and cause a roll over. Of course, drinking and then riding places one of the biggest limitation people riding an ATV. Drinking reduces a rider’s reaction time and impairs their judgement – not to mention the fact operating an ATV on public or private property while impaired is illegal. I hope everyone will understand their limits this ATV season and enjoy safe riding. During ATV Safety Week from June 6-14 SATVA is encouraging everyone to talk with family and friends about ATV safety. If you know your limits, there’s no limit to the fun you can have while ATVing.

Costly P3 model raising red flags To the Editor: CUPE applauds the Provincial Auditor’s report for highlighting concerns about SaskBuilds’ use of unsubstantiated numbers, but is raising red flags about their reliance on an out-of-province consultant with a biased approach to P3s. “If the government claims Saskatchewan is going to have a different approach to cost-
ly P3s, then why is it adopting faulty advice from a BC crown corporation criticized by its own government?,” questioned Tom Graham, President of CUPE Saskatchewan. SaskBuilds is spending $5.6 million for advice from Partnerships BC, which has faced tough criticism from British Columbia’s Ministry of Finance for being biased in favour of P3s. Partnerships BC, estab-
lished in 2002 to advise the government of British Columbia, receives all of its revenue from consulting fees. SaskBuilds has a comprehensive contract with Partnerships BC to develop four P3s: the Swift Current long term care centre, the North Battleford Integrated Hospital and Correctional Project, nine joint-use schools, and the Regina Bypass Project. “We are beginning to
see that the provincial government, through SaskBuilds, is exaggerating the costs of public sector procurement so it can push its expensive P3 model,” said Graham. “The track record of costly P3 mistakes across Canada should be enough evidence to show that P3 privatization is the worst way to finance the building of new infrastructure.” CUPE Saskatchewan
To the Editor: One in every three workers in Canada is assisting a chronically disabled person – many of them seniors – with transportation, household maintenance or day-today tasks, according to a recently released federal report. The 6.1 million employed workers who are providing such care, free of charge, to a family member or friend are more likely to experience interruptions at work and to arrive late or even be absent from work. Many are less available than they would otherwise be to work overtime, travel for work or advance their careers. The impacts of informal caregiving commitments are felt in the Canadian workplace and reduce productivity. They translate into 2.2 million hours of reduced workplace time every week and cause an estimated $1.3 billion productivity loss annually, says the report. With the anticipated growing numbers of seniors requiring care, the costs of unpaid caregiving and reduced productivity will likely expand over the next two decades. What should we do about them? It only makes sense that employers should be the first to recognize and support informal caregiving. Some already offer flexible arrangements (e.g., compressed work weeks, work from home, unpaid and even paid leaves) to employees with caregiving commitments. Not all employers are equally supportive, and many Canadian workers with caregiving responsibilities are paying the price: reduced income, career limitations and exit from the labour force. A year ago, the federal government established the Employer Panel for Caregivers, which consulted with employers to help them find ways to better support their employee caregivers. The consultation assumed that unpaid care will remain the main source of long-term care in this country. It found that while employer support to employee caregivers may foster workplace engagement and retention, there might not be a business case for many employers to voluntary engage in it. In other words, moral appeal and compassion for employee caregivers will not translate into a massive, spontaneous movement in the Canadian workplace to address the issue. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Canadian policymakers to ignore their own essential role – beyond that of offering limited and sporadic supports – to address the issue. Confronted with a similar situation, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have, in recent years, adopted national caregiver strategies. At home, Manitoba and Nova Scotia are leading, but efforts across the country remain fragmented and inconsistent. Canada can do better. A national strategy needs integrated policy instruments to support caregivers and their employers. First, Canada’s workplace legislation, which is primarily a provincial jurisdiction, needs to ensure minimum standards to protect workers with caregiving commitments. Second, we also need a comprehensive set of financial instruments – possibly a combination of private or public programs – to better protect the workers’ incomes and their employers’ productivity losses. Third, more substantial coverage of homecare, nursing care and supportive services for the disabled is an essential component that would benefit everyone. Policymakers still need to recognize the undeniable costs of unpaid caregiving. So the real question is: How should these costs be shared? Caregivers are already contributing a lot: A study estimated that if governments had to pay for caregiving provided free of charge by people 45 and older in this country, it would have cost about $25 billion in 2009. Some argue that governments should compensate caregivers. I don’t think they should. But governments do need to ensure that while providing unpaid caregiving, workers never incur catastrophic income losses or lose their jobs as a result. Financial and in-kind supports are critical, especially when caregiving commitments extend to several hours a week over a long period of time. This should be covered by public programs. Only a coherent national strategy will allow Canadian workers looking after a spouse or relative to better focus on their work, their employers to better focus on their mission and disabled persons to get the care they need.

First annual Torch run to be held in the city
On Saturday, June 13, Yorkton Special Olympics will host their First Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR). The mission of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is to raise awareness about the programs and opportunities Special Olympics offers, as well as raise funds to support the programs. “This is the first time we’ve tried to run the Law Enforcement Torch Run in Yorkton,” shared Yorkton Special
Olympics Volunteer Betty Ann Shalkowsky. “We scheduled the run last year, but the rain and weather forced us to cancel. We are looking forward to this opportunity to promote the program within the community and to invite other athletes and volunteers to join us.” The run will begin at 11:00 am at the Gallagher Center parking lot. Athletes and volunteers will run east on Broadway Avenue, then north on Gladstone Avenue to Sacred Heart
High School. “Sacred Heart is hosting the Lions Celebrity Football Camp, so this seemed like a great opportunity to combine the two events. Once we arrive at Sacred Heart, the athletes will have the opportunity to join the barbeque, meet some CFL alumni, and have their picture taken with the Grey Cup. Also at Sacred Heart, there will be a number of Silent Auction items on display for the public to bid on. We want to thank the many com-
munity partners who donated items for the auction. All the funds raised will go toward the programming that Special Olympics offers. This past year, we had athletes participate in
bowling and swimming. Right now, our athletes are in bocce and golf. We try to help cover as much of the costs for the program to encourage as many athletes as possible to participate,
Online program helping to track livestock The federal and provincial governments launched the new online Saskatchewan Premises Identification (PID) Database to improve the response to and prevention of livestock emergencies. “Strategic investments in livestock traceability give Canadian producers and the entire value chain the competitive edge they need to access markets around the world,” Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said. “The benefits of the Premises Identification Database are far-reaching,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Knowing where our province’s livestock is located allows us to be more effective in handling everything from flooding to disease outbreak.”
The PID program links livestock and poultry to specific land locations by assigning a unique number to each registered premises, and is an important part of planning for and managing animal health and environmental emergencies. The database will aid in rapidly notifying producers of disease threats and other potential disasters, as well as in dispatching emergency resources to appropriate locations. PID is one of three pillars of a livestock traceability system, which also includes animal identification and animal movement reporting. The PID program has seen significant support from Saskatchewan’s livestock industry. To date, approximately 1,400 producers have registered. Commodity
groups have also worked with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture to complete the registration of their members. “We see the Premises Identification Database as being a great benefit to our producers,” Sask Pork Chairman Florian Possberg said. “With diseases like Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea having the potential to devastate our swine herds, our industry is doing everything it can to prevent or lessen an outbreak. The fact all of our producer members have already registered speaks to the importance of this tool.” “I encourage all cattle producers to register with the database,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association President Doug Gillespie said. “It is important to be able to
respond to emergencies or disease concerns quickly, and this database will ensure our industry is able to respond in a timely manner.” “I see the database as being instrumental in maintaining the strength of the cattle sector,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Bill Jameson said. “If all of the producers in our sector register, we’ll be better prepared to respond to livestock emergencies quickly and effectively.” Registration for the PID program can be completed online at http://premisesid.saskatchewan.ca. There are no costs associated with registering a premises, and producers’ information will only be used in the event of an emergency.
The PID program is funded through Growing Forward 2, a cost-shared partnership between federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) governments designed to support an innovative, competitive and profitable Canadian agriculture and agrifood sector. Saskatchewan’s database was based off of a model provided by the Government of Alberta.
so we do appreciate the community support for our fundraising. We want to invite any other athletes and volunteers to join.” Athletes and volunteers who would like more information on Yorkton Special Olympics are invited to call (306) 563-6302.

DECORATION DAY PARADE – The Royal Canadian Legion paraded into the city cemetery Saturday evening to conduct the annual Decoration Day Ceremony. In traditional fashion, the scattering of ashes was carried out by cadets. A new presentation this year showed hand-crocheted poppies placed into a vase with sand from the beaches of Normandy brought overseas as a sign of respect for Canadian veterans. After the ceremony, the parade was led back to the Legion Hall for refreshments. N-R Staff

Celebrating Canada’s Aboriginal Peoples The stories of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples lie at heart of the story of Canada. Since 1996, June 21st – National Aboriginal Day – has been a special occasion for Canadians from all walks of life and from across the country to take the time to celebrate the immense contributions and unique cultures of Canada’s First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. Each of Canada’s three groups of Aboriginal peoples – First Nations, Métis and Inuit – has its own
distinct histories, languages, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. Canada’s diversity is one our greatest strengths, and in sharing in this celebration, we strengthen the relationships that have contributed to our great country. Indeed, one example is the proud history Aboriginal personnel have within the Canadian Armed Forces, including service in some of the first battles on what is now Canadian territory. In fact, in the War of 1812,
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz Aboriginals fought alongside British soldiers and English-and French-speaking militia to help resist an American invasion of what is now Canada. While it is always important to remember
the past, our government is also focused on the future. Indeed, we are committed to strengthening the relationship between the Government of Canada and Canada’s First
Nations, Inuit and Métis – a relationship based on mutual respect, friendship and support. In collaboration with Aboriginal leaders, we are delivering measures to help ensure that Aboriginal peoples can fully participate in the labour market and have access to the same opportunities for self-sufficiency and prosperity as all Canadians, including in the areas of health, economic development and housing. And we recognize the importance of Aboriginal peoples to
Canada’s continued growth and prosperity. Often coinciding with the summer solstice, National Aboriginal Day kicks off Celebrate Canada, a four-day celebration that also includes Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day and Canadian Multiculturalism Day, and concludes with Canada Day. So, starting on June 21st, let’s celebrate our diversity, celebrate Canada’s Aboriginal peoples and celebrate what makes Canada the greatest country on earth.

Sunrise helping with Long Term Care
In 2014, Sunrise Health Region received ongoing funding from the government for our Geriatric Resource and Intervention Team. The team provides assessment and recommendations to assist in the management of long term care residents with behavioural challenges.
Representatives from Behavior Management, Pharmacy and Occupational Therapy make up the core members of the team and other professionals may be brought in for consultation depending on the circumstances of the case. The Geriatric Resource
and Intervention Team can be called to consult in various situations that occur within Long Term Care (LTC). With their varied expertise, the team can assist in finding alternate solutions to resident care and help to discover what the resident’s care team could do to support the resident
more effectively. Additional follow up from the team ensures that the care has improved, determine what interventions worked and what have not, and to suggest additional changes to the care plan. This program has been built from the ground up and currently is focused in Long Term Care. As the team further develops, we hope to be able to increase services to include persons in the community or acute care who have been assessed for placement to ease their experience as they move into one of our LTC facilities. Sunrise is optimistic that GRIT will assist in making life in our Long Term Care facilities a more positive experience for all of our residents, their families and our staff.

Proposal for rate adjustment SaskEnergy is proposing rate adjustments that would result in residential customers saving $53 annually or 5.4 per cent on their heating bill. The natural gas utility announced it has filed an Application with the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (SRRP) to adjust both its Commodity and Delivery Service rates. SaskEnergy has applied to reduce its Commodity Rate from $4.84/Gigajoule (GJ) to $4.30/GJ. If approved, the proposed Commodity Rate would be implemented on November 1, 2015. The Commodity Rate was increased last July following an extremely cold winter, which led to a rise in natural gas market prices. Natural gas
prices have since declined and the new rate – the second lowest since 2000 – better reflects forward market pricing into 2016. SaskEnergy is simultaneously applying for a Delivery Service Rate increase. The increase is needed to address additional cost pressures related to enhanced safety and integrity programs and to continue providing reliable service to customers. The Delivery Service Rate recommendation is for an increase of $1.75 per month to the Basic Monthly Charge for residential customers to also be implemented November 1, 2015. Even with the proposed increase, SaskEnergy’s residential customers will continue to pay the lowest delivery costs
in Canada. The proposed Commodity Rate reduction will more than offset SaskEnergy’s application for a Delivery Service Rate increase. “SaskEnergy has the opportunity to pass through savings to our customers by taking advantage of lower forward market prices on the commodity portion of natural gas bills,” said Doug Kelln, President and Chief Executive Officer.

New Cardinal head coach has a familiar face
It’s a familiar face making the decisions for the Yorkton Cardinals. After two seasons with the Western Major Baseball League franchise as a catcher Kameron Mizzell has returned this season as head coach. Hailing from Sylacauga, AL., Mizzell who played baseball with Talladega College in Alabama, said he has been involved in the sport for as long as he can remember. When asked when he started playing he replied, “ever since I could walk. I was in Little League when I was about four.” Mizzell said he recalled a summer he was told he could go camping, or play baseball. He eagerly chose baseball. “It was the best decision I ever made,” he said, adding it helped him solidify a love for the game. Of course in the southern U.S. a lot of youngsters are drawn to the diamond. “It’s pretty big down there in the south,” he said, adding it’s bigger in Florida and Texas, but “Alabama is getting bet-
ter.” And of course so is Little League and its World Series. “When I played the only thing we wanted to do was get to the Little League World Series,” said Mizzell. In time the dream grew bigger. Mizzell said when he was young he can remember telling his Dad, “I want to be in the Majors.” While he is coaching this summer in Yorkton, Mizzell, 23, said playing in the Majors hasn’t been abandoned yet. “I really haven’t given up on that dream yet … I’m still working out,” he said, adding after the summer in Yorkton he plans to look into what options there might be to sign on with a pro team, or maybe head to an independent team and work his way from there. If the road as a player does not work out, Mizzell said he’ll look to stay in the game, and that could include coaching as he is with the Cardinals this summer. Mizzell said his interest in a spot on the bench likely started with his father.
“I guess it started when Dad coached me,” he said, adding that included Little League Baseball, and helping coach high school sports too. “He’d tell me stuff you had to look for as a coach … That intrigued me a little bit.”
Now with the Cardinals, Mizzell is getting some on-the-job training. “I love helping kids craft their game,” he said. It helps Mizzell is only a year removed from playing in the WMBL. “It’s very easy to relate
to them,” he said, adding he knows well what they are going through as college players hoping to improve their game through summer baseball. Being a catcher helps the transition to coaching. “Catching is a big part of the game,” he said, adding he sees the position as “Captain of the field,” because “they’re the only ones to see the whole field. “That helps me.” From the crouch behind the play Mizzell said he has learned how players at second, shortstop, centre field play their positions, and of course he handled the pitchers too. “I pitched a little bit too, so I know the nature of pitching too,” he said. So what is Mizzell’s philosophy as a coach? The first thing he wants to see is players working hard, and that means shaking off a bad pitch, a fielding error, or a bad out, and bearing down the next time. He pointed to a situation in Moose Jaw where the Miller Express had men
on second and third with no outs. He went to the mound with a simple message for his pitcher; “This is your game, show me you want it … You’ve got to look into their face and see what players have got, look into their eyes and see if they can get it done … You’ve kind of got to let players play and show confidence in them.” In the simplest term Mizzell said it’s, “Just play the game. Play the game hard. Play at 110 miles an hour.” That said, Mizzell said he doesn’t want aggressiveness to take over a player either. “You want to let the game come to you,” he said. As for coming to Yorkton, that was easy, said Mizzell. “It’s a very good league,” he said, adding he enjoyed playing with the Cardinals and he is looking forward to helping take the team into the playoffs, and to a championship. Mizzell said making the playoffs isn’t enough. “We need to win it, to win the WMBL Championship,” he said.

Education award recipients recognized
TD Bank Financial Group and The Health Foundation announced the recipients of the Spring Education Awards for 2015. Applications are considered twice each year and awards are given each spring and fall. There were 8 successful applicants this fall and a total of $8,755 awarded. Annually, The Health Foundation’s Scholarship Fund awards at least $24,000 a year to help further the training and education of healthcare staff in east central Saskatchewan. The TD Bank Financial Group contributes $12,000 annually to fund 50% of the awards. For 15 consecutive years TD has partnered with The Health Foundation, making a very significant investment in local healthcare through this education program. This brings the total of TD Bank Financial Groups investment in this education program to $162,000. “TD Bank Financial Group is committed to investing in the future of this region by helping to ensure that nurses and other caregivers have access to funds to upgrade their skills and further their education,” said Amie Evans, Small Business Advisor with TD Canada Trust. “We are pleased that TD Bank Financial Group is presenting four

THANK YOU, STARS John Froese
STARS' Very Important Patient (VIP)
“After I came to, I realized I was pinned inside my truck. There was someone outside my window assuring me that help was on the way,” recalls John of that fateful day. John was returning home to Weyburn via Highway 33. The roads had started getting slick and icy. Another vehicle lost control on the ice and was heading straight at him. John swerved to avoid a collision. “I remember thinking it was too late,” says John, as the vehicle slammed into his. “When I gained consciousness, I was being loaded up into the STARS helicopter. I thought since I’m leaving the scene of an accident in a helicopter, things must be serious.” By the time he reached the Regina General Hospital he had lost a lot of blood — his injuries were extensive. Through three surgeries, a multitude of steel plates and screws were installed in his left arm, right wrist, and left leg and ankle. “There was talk of amputation, and if I had not been brought to the hospital quickly by STARS, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my leg,” says John. “STARS is very important in Saskatchewan as it is a rural province, and for some, the hospitals are several hours away by ground ambulance,” John states. “We all need to step up and contribute to keep STARS ȍying.”

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, June 11, 2015 - Page 15A
Choose the right realtor when selling your home 1. Choosing a REALTOR® Selling your home isn’t a simple procedure. It involves large sums of money, stringent legal requirements and the potential for costly mistakes. A REALTOR® will spend the time it takes to help you sell your home in the least amount of time and for the best possible price. Start by finding REALTORS® in your city by using CREA’s handy search tool. Then, talk to some of them and compare their services. It’s important that you’re comfortable and confident with the agent you choose. 2. The Listing Agreement A Listing Agreement is a contract between you and your agent’s brokerage company. It provides a framework for subsequent forms and negotiations. It’s important the agreement accurately reflects your property details and clearly spells out the rights and obligations of all parties. Generally, in the agreement you appoint the brokerage company as your agent and give its representatives the authority to find a purchaser for your home.
The Listing Agreement will outline: The duration of the agreement; Your REALTOR’s® compensation The listing price and an accurate description of the property; Financial conditions of the property, including the mortgage balance, mortgage monthly payments and the mortgage due date; Information about annual property taxes; and Any easements, rights of way, liens or charges against the property. Disclosure Ask your listing REALTOR® about disclosure, which is a seller’s obligation to disclose facts about properties for sale. The buyers will need to know material facts about the property; that is, anything that could materially affect the sale price or influence a buyer’s decision to buy it. A major cause of post-sale disputes and lawsuits relate to defects and disclosure, but most disputes can be avoided if proper disclosures are made. Intentionally withholding information about a property when selling it can have serious legal consequences. 3. Setting Your
Price How much should you ask for? Although you may have an idea of how much your house is worth, it’s important to have your home valued on its own merits by a professional. Be careful not to price your property too high or too low. If it’s too high, there’s no sale; too low and you lose on your investment. A REALTOR® has the information and expertise to assess at what prices similar properties in your area have sold, and may be able to help you in this regard. She can also provide information on market history, such as the number of properties sold in your community the previous month or year. 4. Listing and Marketing Your Property If your listing is an MLS® listing, your REALTOR® will place your listing on a real estate board’s MLS® System. Through the board’s MLS® System, all other REALTORS® that are members of that board can find and view information about your property, and all have the opportunity to sell your property. Your property gains

more exposure, because it reaches the majority of the real estate professionals in your community. And through REALTOR.ca, the national property website that gets more than a million unique visitors per month, your property is advertised to potential buyers across Canada and around the world. 5. Waiting For the Right Opportunity Sometimes a home doesn’t sell right away. Avoid the urge to pull your home off the market. Be persistent! Generally, there are three reasons why a home may not sell as fast as others: location; condition; and asking price. Obviously, you can’t change your home’s location. However, you can improve the condition of your home and you can, of course, adjust your price. 6. Accepting an Offer Once a buyer is found, you’ll receive an offer that will: Detail the buyer’s price Specify any conditions that may apply or be attached State desired date of possession The date the offer
expires As an act of good faith, the buyer will make a deposit with the offer. You don’t have to accept the offer as is. You may wish to make a counter offer that meets the original offer partway. The counter offer is one more step along the way to negotiating the final terms and conditions of the sale. The offer, once signed by everyone, is a binding contract. Make sure you
understand and agree to all of the terms in the document. Before signing, you may want your lawyer to review it. Your lawyer should also ensure that you receive compensation for prepaid expenses such as, property taxes, electrical or gas bills, or if applicable, any heating oil left in your tank. After these are paid, you will receive any money you have coming from the sale.
Other Possible Requirements Before closing, if the buyer insists upon any conditions of sale, you may be asked to provide a number of things. A current survey, or a “real property report,” showing that the house sits on the property that you own; that is, that there aren’t any encroachments onto other properties. Title to the property (the buyer’s lawyer will check this out when he or she conducts a title search to see if there are any liens on the property, easements, rights of way or height restrictions) Especially in rural areas, a certificate for a well or septic system, stating the system meets local standards Access to the property by a qualified engineer or inspector
