Duplex to provide housing for area youth By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer One of the biggest challenges for at-risk youth is something that many of us take for granted, having a place to stay at the end of the day. A new project that recently opened will provide home for young people in the city who need a home in order to get back on track. The goal with the project is to give students stability explains George Cote, Manager of Yorkton Parkland Housing. The units, on Maple Ave, will provide transitional housing to youth ages 16 to 21, as they complete school and work placement programs. Students will also have supervision as they live in the house. “We decided to provide a safe environment where they can have a place to live so they can get their schooling done, get their work done, and create a better future for themselves.” Four students will be moving into the duplex, two male and two female. They will also pay rent on the unit, which Cote explains was done to give a sense of responsibility when it comes to their home. Yorkton Parkland Housing received $338,000 through the Provincial Metis Housing Corporation to support the construction of the project. That funding is part of the $5.8 million
THE RIBBON IS CUT by Mayor Bob Maloney on the new duplex on Maple Ave which will serve as transitional housing for area youth. The new home was built with the intent of providing a home for students as they finish their education and build their life in the city. the Provincial Metis Housing Corporation is receiving over five years through the federal H o m e l e s s n e s s Partnering Strategy, a program designed to combat homelessness across Canada through different local initiatives. The Christ the Teacher School Division
is another partner on the project, and Cote explains that part of the impetus to get it built came from needs identified through the Dreambuilders program. Transiency among students was identified as a major barrier for their advancement through the program, and Cote says that the project began as a way to
remove that barrier for students who were trying to build the life. “They are couch surfing or staying with friends, so they’re finding it hard to finish school or keep employment if they’re working. Our dream was to have a home for them where they can adjust their lifestyle and be safe. Have
the ability to finish of their schooling.” For some students, the house is more than a place to stay, as the construction also served as work placement for Dreambuilders. “It gives them a sense of pride knowing they had hands-on experience building a house they
might be living in. It uplifts them too to get work experience, gives them an opportunity to figure out where they want to go in life, a trade or any other profession they desire.” Cote says this is just the beginning, and they hope to build more projects like this one in the future.
Tale of a Town seeks out local history By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The main street has long been the center of town, where people meet, build and grow their community. The oral history of Canada’s main streets is getting compiled by The Tale of a Town. Helen McCutcheon, Director of the Parkland Regional Library, says that they decided to host the event because the library has long been a
fixture of the central street in Yorkton, as well as having a focus on local history through hosting the Genealogical Society as well as their local history room. The goal of the entire project is to chronicle the way main streets have changed and how their role in communities have shifted in the past 150 years. It’s a three-year project, stretching from coast to coast, with the goal of finishing by the country’s 150th anniver-
sary in 2017. McCutcheon has no doubt that there will be a large number of stories collected and compiled with the amount of history that the main streets of the city have. She notes that whether it comes to recent history, like the flooding in the city, or the distant past, such as the tales surrounding bootlegging in town, there is a rich vein of stories ready to be tapped for the project. Part of the inspiration
for the entire project is to get a feel for what main street has been for communities, and chronicle what is being lost as trends in business shift away from main street as the central focus of a town, McCutcheon explains. “They’re trying to get the essence of main street, because main street is disappearing.” One of the reasons she believes Yorkton has an unique story in terms of main street is the way
the town is designed, which has kept Broadway as a major corridor. “You have to go through the main street to get anywhere... Whoever did the planning for the community did a fabulous job, and we’re smack dab in the middle of it.” The stories collected by Tale of a Town will be mapped to location, become part of a podcast series and inspire the creation of a performance which will take place in
Regina on July 12. They will also be available online at thetaleofatown. ca. There will be two days when people can come down to share their stories, June 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and June 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. People can just drop in, or make an appointment by calling the library at 306-783-3523. “We just hope for people from all walks of life with experiences on the main street in Yorkton.”

Native prairie appreciation week marked systems while also highlighting the important role of farmers, ranchers, and the broader public in the conservation and management of Saskatchewan’s native ecosystems. “Saskatchewan agriculture producers take pride in the work they do and they recognize the important role they play in sustaining our native prairies,” Stewart said. “By using native prairie sustainably, ranchers and farmers have been able to contribute to the long-term social
20
and economic health of their communities while preserving the native prairie ecosystems that are synonymous with Saskatchewan’s natural beauty.” “Properly managed grasslands contribute to the sustainable management of Saskatchewan’s invaluable natural resources,” Cox said. “These grasslands are an important part of our heritage and I encourage all residents to take this opportunity to appreciate the unique benefits and continued conserva-
tion of our native prairie ecosystems.” “One of Saskatchewan’s most cherished possessions is its incredibly diverse range of ecosystems and wildlife,” PCAP Chair Orin Balas said. “The continued co-operation of Saskatchewan’s ranchers, farmers and general public to preserve the ecological health and biodiversity of Saskatchewan’s prairies is commendable, and we look forward to their continued support.”

God’s Little Acre starts the growing season
VOLUNTEERS plant potatoes at the God’s Little Acre project just outside of the city. All food grown by the project will be given away to those who need it, and the inaugural year of the Yorkton project grew over 10,000 lbs of potatoes for people, in spite of difficult conditions. By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Everybody needs food, but for some people, actually being able to afford that food is a challenge, and one they can’t always meet. The God’s Little Acre project, now in its second year in Yorkton, is a communitybased movement to feed the hungry in the city by raising produce, and recently held a potato planting event to start the 2015 growing season. Jas Singh began the God’s Little Acre project in Surrey, BC. He says it began as he made a major shift in his priorities, moving from the corporate world into growing food for people. The project has significantly expanded since it began, going from potatoes on three acres to 70
acres on five farms. “I grew up on a farm, and I decided to go back to farming, and some personal changes in my life meant I am following a different path now, and that path lead me to do a lot more community work than before,” Singh says. “You’re looking at a guy who lives in a basement suite, owns no property and is giving away 150,000 lbs of product this year alone.” The project in Yorkton is trying to go in the same direction as the B.C. original, beginning with potatoes and then steadily expanding to more crops and more land. The Yorkton expansion was created from a series of fortuitous chance meetings. He met someone in Regina at an
Airport who had heard of the project after deciding to visit the province. They just happened to both be headed to Yorkton, and after being invited to church by this person, he met most of the main group running the show in Yorkton, and they quickly decided to move forward with the project. “In my life I don’t believe anything is a coincidence... I think it was all planned long before I showed up here.” Singh says that he provides the seed, whether that means the literal seeds or the experience of doing the project in B.C. He says that the local crew is what makes the local version work, and their hard work, and their contributions make it work. One of those
local people is Dwayne Kruger, the farmer who is providing the land. He says it made sense to support the project with land because that’s what he has and can contribute, and he believes in Singh’s vision. Kruger says that the project has brought together the neighbours, as the tractors were all provided by the neighboring farms and families. “We’ve got a really good community out here rurally... It’s about cultivating the land, but cultivating relationships and community,” Kruger says. The first year of the project was a success, in spite of a difficult growing season which included flooding, limiting access to the land and causing concerns over
the health of the crop. “Somehow, our potatoes were protected, and we were able to pull out ten or twelve thousand pounds of potatoes to give away.” Singh says that for him personally, he believes everyone has a responsibility to help their fellow man, and this is how he can help. He does not make a profit on the project, as he doesn’t believe profits should be in the equation when it comes to feeding the hungry, saying that expenses are handled through farmers markets and it’s otherwise entirely volunteer based. “I think whether you’re a religious person or not, you will hopefully be at a point in your life where you will be lying
down and asking “what did I do with my life?” I want to make sure I have an answer to that question... To say I did good, to say I did the right thing, that I didn’t let my brother or sister starve here. That’s very basic, how you can lift people out of poverty if you can feed people. It doesn’t matter if they are addicts, it doesn’t matter if they are street people, it doesn’t matter if they’re drunk, we need to feed them first and motivate them second, and if we follow that path I think we are doing the right thing.”
It’s hard work, and it’s for a good cause, but the Singh says it has also been a fun project, and he invites people to follow along with what they’re doing at www. godslittleacrefarm.com.

Liquor rules need to be adjusted Last year dozens of Saskatchewan businesses paid for protection. They paid for the opportunity to open their doors and received assurances that competitors would be kept in their place. The amounts paid for this protection ranged from two digits to six. None of this is illegal. It doesn’t involve the mob. It’s all above board and even routine. It’s Saskatchewan’s liquor off-sale regulatory system. The Saskatchewan government is currently studying the results of its public consultation regarding liquor regulations. This fall the government will likely bring forward its plan to modernize the system. That plan must shift the focus to consumers because the current off-sale rules aren’t working. The Saskatchewan government requires all liquor off-sale locations to buy permits. The prices are not simple fees like a those paid for a standard business licence. The government awards the permits via auction: whoever bids highest can open an off-sale. As with all commodities, the prices are based on supply and demand. The growing Saskatchewan economy is increasing demand, but the government is keeping a tight grip on the supply of permits. For a community with a population of 2,500 or less, only one off-sale is allowed. The number of permits available rises with population so Regina and Saskatoon get about 20 each. A winning bidder gets to keep the permit indefinitely. The amounts paid can be significant. Successful bids in 2014 ranged from $5 all the way to $126,000. The average permit cost was $11,308. Off-sale permits are market protection. In the past, off-sale licenses were almost exclusively restricted to hotels. Eventually, the common sense point prevailed that a restaurant selling beer by the glass is just as competent as a hotel when it comes to selling six-packs. For anyone other than established market players, the system has the negative results that inevitably come with an uncompetitive market. New businesses have to pay to play regardless of their competitive attributes. Those costs are passed on to consumers. And those consumers have fewer options to find the lowest price and best service. As with any protection scheme, it won’t be easy to unravel. Some off-sales have likely debt-financed the purchase of their permits. An immediate lifting of this system would make their permits worthless, but the debts would remain. Out of fairness, the government should consider refunding all or a portion of the permit bids when this system is rightfully unravelled. The Saskatchewan government has stepped up and said it will unveil a plan to modernize liquor regulations this fall. That modernization needs to focus on consumers. When change does come, it must stop limiting the number of off-sales and open liquor sales to real competition. Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Home schooling on the rise An increasing number of Canadian families are choosing to home-school their children, according to a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy thinktank. The study, Home Schooling in Canada: The Current Picture—2015, notes that 21,662 Canadian children were registered as ‘home-school students’ (with likely more not officially registered) in 2012, an increase of 29 per cent over a five-year period. “These figures point to a growing number of Canadians who, for a variety of reasons, feel that their child’s interests are best served by an education program that occurs largely outside of a traditional institutional setting,” said Deani Van Pelt, study author and director of the Fraser Institute’s Barbara Mitchell Centre for Improvement in Education. The study references the mounting academic literature about home schooling across North America and builds upon earlier Fraser Institute research from 2001 and 2007. It finds that while decisions to home-school in the past were ideologically or religiously driven, families are now choosing the option for more pragmatic reasons. And it appears that policymakers are paying attention to the jump in numbers.
Since 2007, at least five provinces have updated or expanded regulations with regard to homeschooling. All provinces require home school parents to register or notify the authorities of their home schooling, while three provinces — Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec — require submission of a formal educational plan and evidence of student progress. Moreover, the three most western provinces now provide funding towards home schooling. Research in both Canada and the United States has consistently found that students educated at home score in the higher percentiles — compared to students who attend public schools — on standardized tests in reading, writing and mathematics. This is especially true for students involved in structured home-based programs where parents set out clear educational goals for their children with purchased curricula or self-made lesson plans. “Parents are increasingly looking for more choice in how their children are educated and home schooling is proving to be a viable choice,” Van Pelt said. “Provincial education ministries are beginning to recognize the appeal of home schooling among parents seeking alternatives to the public education system.”
Why am I building this computer by myself? Among the nerdy, the idea of building your own computer is theoretically appealing. It’s like building shelves, or a house, you have the opportunity to put something together with your own two hands, something that’s exactly the way you want. It deftly avoids the typical compromises that come with a pre-built machine, you’re not going to cheap out on the wrong components like so many companies do – no, you’re going to cheap out on the right ones. It’s all going to be tailor made to your needs. Here we will have a magical device that can do everything you ask of it, a shining black monument to your good taste and judgement. When my eight year old desktop began to breathe its last this year, I decided to pull the trigger and build my own this time. After all, much as my old machine was largely able to do what I asked of it, there were some corners cut back when I bought it. As a pre-built machine, they decided to install the cheapest power supply ever made, for example. It was a good machine, but all good things come to an end, and computers generally age like dogs with progeria so eight years is a good run. The first step is to pick parts, which sounds fun but is largely stressful. For the most part, everything is designated by a mass of numbers with no clear
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger meaning or purpose. For example, does ASRock H97M PRO4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 mean something or did my cat just sit on the keyboard? Trying to parse what on earth anything is can sometimes feel like you’re learning a foreign language, one made entirely of acronyms and gibberish numbers. This leads to a second problem, the constant feeling that you’re doing something wrong. This is especially true if you’re trying for something mid-range with decent value. The enthusiast community will react with confusion because you’re not buying a video card that costs as much as an entry-level Nissan, sane people who don’t know why you need an elaborate computer instead of just getting something cheap and cheerful. There will also be Apple enthusi-
asts who insist you should buy a Mac, but at least you know they are wrong. Even picking a case is a hassle, because the target market is young men with terrible taste. It took more effort than I am comfortable admitting to find a case that didn’t look like a robot vomiting LEDs, and even then it still is hardly a masterpiece of interior design, just one of the few cases I’d be willing to allow into my house. Then you have to build the thing, which like building anything seems a lot easier in theory than it does in practice. Doing it yourself saves money, but then you get reminded that professionals that do things for a living often get paid a lot of money, and there is probably a reason for that. Everything falling off my house is probably evidence as to why I should never be trusted to build anything myself, but here’s a complicated piece of technology that I have to assemble all on my own. Of course, I can’t assemble anything yet, because my rare, tasteful case is still held up in a warehouse somewhere. I have spent a great deal of money on a pile of parts I can’t use yet and might break when I do try to use them because I did something wrong. It’s theoretically appealing, but might be a horrible mistake.

Your letter of the Week
More transparency needed Tax freedom
To the Editor Within a week or so, this current 41st Parliament of Canada will adjourn for the final time. Sometime during the summer, the House of Commons will be “dissolved” for a national election on October 19th.
I hope Canadians will make the renovation and renewal of how we govern ourselves a prime election issue!
When Justin Trudeau won the Liberal leadership two years ago, more open, rejuvenated governance for Canada was a key part of his platform. And despite the disadvantages of being the “third party” in the House of Commons, he has still managed to move the yardsticks.
His first step was to require all his MPs to proactively disclose all their travel and hospitality expenses. The information began to be posted quarterly on the Internet for anyone to scrutinize. Once the Liberal Caucus set this example, all other MPs followed suit and such regular disclosure is now in the rules of the House of Commons.
Secondly, Mr. Trudeau presented a Motion and a Private Member’s Bill to upgrade transparency in all government operations. For example, he wants the House of Commons’ secretive management board (the “Board of Internal Economy”, as it
is called) to be made open to the public. Its deliberations on how the House of Commons is administered and how Parliamentary money is spent should not be kept behind closed doors. More broadly, across the whole of government, Mr. Trudeau wants much greater public access to all information and he wants the data to be available in accessible electronic formats. He would also give the Information Commissioner the authority to issue binding disclosure orders to all government departments and agencies. Letting the sunshine in would have a positive effect. Knowledge is power. Broad-based access to information is fundamental to democracy. It is the right of the governed to have as much knowledge and information as those who govern them. That’s why we also need a competent, reliable national census. We need scientists and researchers who are unmuzzled and encouraged to discuss their work. We need the right to dissent, debate and disagree, free from intimidation or reprisals. In short, Canadians need to have all the facts, and we need to make decisions based on hard evidence, not guess-work, prejudice or ideology. Mr. Trudeau’s third initiative was about the
Senate. Given all the recent controversy, some Canadians are calling for Senate abolition. But the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled unequivocally that that would take unanimous provincial consent for a full-fledged constitutional amendment. At the very least, opening such a debate would embroil the country in a decade of constitutional turmoil, while other issues - the economy, jobs, the environment, healthcare - get pushed off the agenda. So what can be done without going down that rabbit-hole? Mr. Trudeau has committed himself to a new, transparent, objective process for selecting independent people of the highest quality and integrity to serve in the Canadian Senate - avoiding partisanship and patronage and thus making the Senate the genuine independent review body envisaged by Sir John A. Macdonald. And to show he is serious, Mr. Trudeau required every sitting Senator appointed by a Liberal Prime Minister to withdraw from the Liberal Caucus and serve out their terms as full independents. We have a strong example, in the Mike Duffy scandal, about why
this is important. Part of that scandal is Mr. Duffy’s obnoxious spending, but equally serious are the internal machinations in the Prime Minister’s Office to try to cover-up and whitewash the whole affair. If Senators were truly independent - and not under the political thumb of the PMO - it would be far less likely that the Prime Minister’s staff would be cutting $90,000 cheques and trying to meddle with a forensic audit. So on the disclosure of MPs’ expenses, greater government transparency and Senate reform - Justin Trudeau has led the way in the current Parliament more than anyone else. For the future, he will build on these initial steps to accelerate the process of transformative change. The Parliament of Canada must earn the public’s respect every day. It must be restored as a meaningful institution where the debates and votes really matter, where genuine responsibility is shouldered and accounted for, and where MPs are effective voices for their constituencies in Ottawa, not merely mouthpieces for Ottawa back home in their constituencies. Ralph Goodale Member of Parliament Wascana
Keep an eye on partnership To the Editor
With the announcement of a selected contractor team to build nine joint-use schools as a public-private partnership (P3), CUPE is calling for greater transparency surrounding the costly P3 process. “We have significant concerns about accountability and transparency when it comes to P3s and other forms of privatization,” said Tom Graham,
President of CUPE Saskatchewan. “The government has said they will not share the contracts and the full price tag of P3 schools with the public until negotiations are complete, but the public deserves to know the costs upfront.” Earlier this month, the calculations used by SaskBuilds to justify proceeding with P3s came under fire from the provincial auditor. Furthermore,
briefing notes obtained through Access to Information requests revealed that the Ministry of Education previously determined: “P3s are an expensive public procurement approach because they involve higher interest rates, a more expensive bidding process, third party advisors and a profit margin”. “Across the country, we have seen many examples of the problems associated with P3s,” said Graham.
“Nova Scotia’s provincial auditor found that its 39 P3 schools cost $32 million more than if they had been built publicly. In Alberta, the Calgary School Board opted out of the P3 process because the conventional way would be built faster.” CUPE is calling on the government to demonstrate transparency and accountability by disclosing all contracts and costs related to public-private partnerships.

Caregivers left without options
To the Editor The NDP wants the Sask. Party to immediately reverse its decision to scrap the Youth Companion Program, because with school nearly out for summer, parents like Lorelee Finnie are scrambling for alternative arrangements and finding nothing. This spring, the Sask. Party scrapped the program that helped match youth with cognitive disabilities to caregivers. The program, delivered by Radius, also planned activities and programming for youth including the popular summer Glee Club. The valuable program cost
just $65,000. “The Sask. Party dismissed the program as unimportant, and said parents should just figure out an alternative. But Mr. Wall and company simply don’t have their facts straight,” said NDP Leader Cam Broten. “There is no replacement for this fantastic program. It meant parents could find trusted, qualified caregivers. And, it meant the world to the kids. “The Sask. Party has taken away a program that moms like Lorelee really need, and replaced it with nothing.” Finnie, a military vet-
eran, has two sets of twins – 15 year-old girls and 14 year-old boys. Girls Katie and Doris are both on the autism spectrum, and boys David and Jordie each have global developmental delay. All four have been in the Youth Companion Program. “There is so little help for parents in Saskatchewan as it is,” said Finnie, who moved to Saskatoon from Winnipeg and was shocked by the lack of supports available for her kids’ development and care. “Taking away a program with such a small cost that makes such a big difference makes no sense. Especially if it
means moms like me won’t be able to keep working or going to school because we aren’t able to find safe summer care for our kids.” “Saskatchewan doesn’t have comprehensive supports for parents of kids with disabilities,” said Broten. “Instead of seeing the success of this lowcost program that helps parents to hire their own qualified caregivers, and spreading that model throughout the province, the government scrapped it without ever providing a coherent reason. Families deserve so much better.” Erin Morrison, NDP caucus
day now is June 10
To the Editor: No one really thinks there shouldn’t be any taxes. After all, how would governments fund important public services that form the foundation of our economy? Think of services such as protecting property, building infrastructure, upholding the legal system, to name a few. The real debate is about the amount of taxes governments extract from us given the services we get in return. Are we paying too much, too little, or just the right amount? In other words, are we getting good value for our tax dollars? That’s up to you to decide. But to make an informed assessment, you must have a complete understanding of all the taxes you pay. Unfortunately, it’s not so clear because the different levels of government levy a wide range of taxes - some visible, many hidden. This includes everything from income taxes, payroll taxes, health taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, vehicle taxes, profit taxes, import taxes, to “sin” taxes on liquor and tobacco, and much more. The Fraser Institute’s annual Tax Freedom Day calculation is a handy measure of the total tax burden imposed on Canadian families by the federal, provincial, and local governments. If you had to pay all your taxes in advance, you’d give government each and every dollar you earned before Tax Freedom Day. In 2015, we estimate the average Canadian family (with two or more people) will pay $44,980 in total taxes. That works out to 43.7 per cent of annual income, which, on the calendar, represents more than five months of income - from January 1 to June 9. It’s not until June 10 - Tax Freedom Day - when families finally start working for themselves, not the government. Is working almost half the year to pay for government reasonable given the current mix of government programs and services? This is a question we don’t purport to answer here. But it makes you think. Are governments doing too much? Can they do what they do now but more efficiently and with fewer tax dollars? Would the income that goes to taxes be better used by you and your family for spending, saving, or paying down household debt? With 43.7 per cent of our income going to taxes, it still isn’t enough to pay for what our governments do. This year, the federal government and seven provincial governments (including Ontario) are planning deficits totalling $18.2 billion. When governments spend beyond their means, they borrow, incurring deficits, which are essentially deferred taxes. According to our calculations, Tax Freedom Day would come four days later this year, on June 14, if Canadian governments covered their current spending with even greater tax increases instead of borrowing to cover the shortfall. If that happened, the percentage of income going to taxes would jump to 44.9 per cent. In the end, it’s up to you and your family to decide whether you’re getting good bang for your tax buck. But we all need a complete understanding of the total tax bill to make an informed assessment. And therein lies the value of our Tax Freedom Day calculation. So, are you happy with working until June 10 to pay for government?

National standards being set for service dogs
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone following highly stressful situations, but among the most frequent sufferers are Veterans returning from war. Living with the longterm condition creates further stress, stress that easily spreads to others who are close to the sufferer.
That’s where man’s best friend comes in – in this case psychiatric service dogs, trained to help someone with a mental health condition. They do this by performing certain tasks in response to cues from their owner, helping them manage many of the common symptoms of PTSD, and guiding them away from stressful situations. They also give physical support if
their owner loses his or her balance. Veterans who benefit from the use of service dogs for mental health conditions will welcome a recent announcement from Veterans Affairs Canada. Its Minister, the Hon. Erin O’Toole, during a visit to the National Service Dogs House and Training Centre in Cambridge, Ontario, announced the decision to set national standards for service dogs. “We expect this work will confirm what Veterans have been telling us about the benefits of psychiatric service dogs – how these dogs have improved their quality of life. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting research to achieve
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz better outcomes for Veterans with PTSD and other mental health conditions.” Having national standards will help ensure consistency across the country for psychiatric service dogs. The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB), in consultation with Veterans’ groups and psychiatric service dog training providers, will set the standards. Minister O’Toole was in Cambridge to meet with
Veterans’ groups and members of psychiatric service dog training organizations. He also explained the work being done to better serve Veterans and their families who are living with mental health conditions, including ground-breaking research into the effect of psychiatric service dogs on Veterans with PTSD. The Minister highlighted as well the extensive network of mental health clin-
ics and service points. These assist Veterans from across the country, including the 24-hour hotline, which provides immediate psychiatric assistance for all Veterans and their families. The pilot research, which will include up to 50 Canadian Veterans with service dogs, is expected to be first class and ground-breaking. It could even help set standards of Veteran service dogs and their certification in allied countries. Operational stress injury clinics provide full assessment, diagnosis and treatment services for Veterans and their families who are living with operational stress injuries, including PTSD. Together, VAC and DND have a network of 27
specialized mental health clinics where individuals can be served in person. Veterans and their families can receive emergency mental health counselling with a professional over the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling the toll-free assistance line: 1-800-273TALK.
Veterans Affairs Canada and the Mental Health Commission of Canada are working together to develop a Veteran-specific Mental Health First Aid training program. Psychiatric service dogs are an important component of this program and will help bring improvements to the lives of Veterans suffering from this debilitating mental health condition.
Keep an eye out for Piping Plover nesting areas
With the recent heat, it is time to head out to the beach on the weekend and bask in the sun along our beautiful Saskatchewan shorelines. Be on the lookout though, as this is also the time when the endangered Piping Plover shorebird will be on those same shorelines for a different reason… to nest! The Piping Plover was designated as endangered in 1985, and remains listed as endangered due to low population numbers; ~764 plovers were seen in Saskatchewan during the 2011 international census, down from 1,435 in the previous 2006 census. “There are a number of factors contributing to their low numbers”, explains Rebecca Magnus, Plovers on Shore coordinator, “and
one of those is human activity along shorelines”. In mid-May the female Piping Plover lays four, well-camouflaged eggs along many of our Saskatchewan shorelines such as Lake Diefenbaker. The eggs are speckled, and blend in with the surrounding gravel and sand. Both parents incubate the eggs over ~28 days. The peak hatching occurs in mid-June. “Since Piping Plover eggs are very difficult to see and easy to accidentally trample, we are asking the public to watch carefully as they enjoy the sunshine along our shorelines during this critical time”, says Magnus. You may also see the Piping Plover adult first, before you see any eggs. They have distinctive black markings - a single
black neck band, a black band on the forehead, and a short black-tipped orange bill. “While similar, they can easily be distinguished from Killdeer based on their smaller size, the single neck band versus the two bands found on Killdeer, and their lighter colour”, adds Magnus. Additionally, you may hear a Piping Plover calling for your attention and when you look over you may observe it running away, faking a broken wing. The Piping Plover is one of the few shorebirds to display this action, which it uses to distract predators away from its nests in order to protect it. If you come across a nest site or think you may have seen a Piping Plover, please call our toll free Hoot Line at: 1-800-667-HOOT (4668).

Sage garden advice for drought conditions
While it’s too early to say we’re facing a drought in parts of the prairies, droughts are a regular occurrence in this region and sooner rather than later, we’ll be facing long stretches of low precipitation. So consider droughtproofing your garden by adopting some the following suggestions. Amend the soil with organic matter (e.g. compost or manure), especially if it’s sandy, to help retain water as well as to enrich the soil with essential nutrients. Make sure the organic matter has been composted sufficiently to kill weed seeds and diseases. Cover bare soil with 10 – 15 cm organic mulch. Mulch not only reduces surface evaporation, it keeps the soil cool (reduces plant stress) and smoothers weed seedlings. Organic mulch breaks down and you will need to topdress your beds every 2 or 3 years. For transplants in the vegetable garden, consider using black (or red for tomatoes) plastic mulch to really reduce water loss and control weeds.
Use drip irrigation (e.g. weeping hoses) to irrigate your flower, shrub and vegetable beds (place under mulch layer). Water is applied right where it’s needed with little evaporation. Water early in the day so when it’s hot and dry, plants can draw up the water they need to stay hydrated and to cool themselves through evapo-transpiration. Infrequent deep irrigation (e.g. apply 3 cm water once per week) encourages deep root formation allowing plants to reach water at depth; conversely shallow-rooted plants rely on surface moisture and are more likely become stressed as soon as the soil starts to dry and soil temperature rises. Keep your weeds under control. Weeds not only detract from the beauty of your garden, they also suck up water, steal nutrients and crowd out your ornamental plants. Also control pests and diseases as these put additional stress on your plants making them less able to respond to drought. Finally, choose nat-
urally drought-tolerant plants. Many of our native prairie plants are drought tolerant and make excellent ornamentals. Look for plants with deep roots, succulent leaves or hairy, silvery leaves. One strategy some plants use to survive drought is avoidance – they grow only in early spring or late fall and are dormant during the hottest and driest part of the year. For non-native plants, look for ones from other dry regions like the Mediterranean or northern interior Asia. The following is a partial list of native (N) and introduced (I) drought tolerant plants. Trees: Amur maple (I), bur oak (N), chokecherry (N), green ash (N), Manitoba maple (N), Russian olive (I), Scots pine (I), lodgepole pine (N), Colorado spruce (I), subalpine fir (I) and Siberian larch (I). Shrubs and vines: caragana (I), dogwood (N), hawthorn (N), honeysuckle (I), juniper (N), lilac (I), mugo pine (I), prairie rose (N), potentilla (I), saskatoon berry (N), sea-buckthorn

Multiple fines issued for illegal hinting activities
An American owner/ operator of a hunt farm near Bethune, Saskatchewan, was fined $8,001 in Moose Jaw provincial court for trafficking wildlife and unlawfully exporting wildlife. Conservation officers investigated a call to the Ministry of Environment’s Turn in Poachers (TIP) line in November 2013, and determined that a wild bull elk had been illegally shot outside of a hunt farm and was claimed as an animal shot on the hunt farm. The bull
elk was also unlawfully transported to British Columbia. “People who kill animals illegally and traffic in wildlife are stealing from the law-abiding hunters of our province,” Ministry of Environment Compliance and Enforcement Director Ken Aube said. “Our laws are designed to provide effective management of wildlife populations to ensure hunting opportunities are available now and in the future.” On May 26, 2015, James Patrick Boyer of
Vancouver, Washington, USA, was found guilty of four charges under The Wildlife Act and The Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act. In addition to the charges, the court suspended Boyer from hunting in the province for five years. This case is a prime example of how the public can assist in solving crimes through the TIP program, which is strongly supported

Look for Transport Canada label to be safe
Part of the allure of recreational boating is that it can be enjoyed by young and old alike; so much so that many families often introduce their children to this activity as infants or toddlers. However, with the inability of youngsters to fend for themselves should the unexpected occur; it’s imperative that they wear a lifejacket to protect them against drowning. You may feel that, by cradling your child in your arms as the boat scoots along, they are safe but a sudden collision or capsizing of the boat could easily jar the child from your arms and be tossed into the water. There are lifejackets on the market today that are specifically designed for infants as small as 4 kilograms (9 lbs). You want to protect your children as much as possible but choosing the right
lifejacket for them can sometimes be a daunting task. The first thing to keep in mind is, while you might normally purchase over-sized clothing for your children that they will grow into, using that same philosophy for choosing a lifejacket can result in tragedy. Unlike adult lifejackets, those made for children are sized based on weight range rather than being marked as small, medium or large. Make sure to look for the weight range that a particular child’s life jacket is designed for. Other things to consider include ensuring that the lifejacket fits snugly but comfortably, doesn’t ride up on their body when sitting down and that it doesn’t chafe under their arms. There should also be a crotch strap that will keep the lifejacket from coming off over their head when
they jump in the water. A padded head support with a grab strap is an added plus that will ensure their head is supported in the water and enable your child to be kept from floating away. Possibly, though, one of the most important considerations in the selection of a lifejacket is that they are of a colour or pattern that they like. That way they will be more prone to wearing it. As your children grow and wish to take a more active part in fishing, paddling, sailing or other water sport activities, it’s beneficial to select a lifejacket that is designed with those activities in mind. For example, waterskiing, wakeboarding or personal watercraft-designed jackets are constructed with extra padding and belts in front to protect the wearer against
injury from impacting the water at higher speeds. Similarly, lifejackets designed for paddling have deeper arm holes to provide maximum mobility throughout the paddle stroke. Those designed for fishing or hunting often have extra pockets for gear and may have a camouflage pattern. Inflatable lifejackets are a very popular choice among boaters but are only legal for wear by those 16 years of age or over who are not involved in an activity wear they could be knocked unconscious such as skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, personal watercraft riding or white water kayaking. Further, they have to be worn at all times to be considered legal. No matter what type of lifejacket you choose,
the label must carry Transport Canada or Canadian Coast Guard approval to be legal for use. Keep in mind, too, that brighter coloured lifejackets are more easily spotted from a distance, in low light conditions or in fog. It’s a good idea before the start of each boating season to check the lifejacket used the previous year for fit and/or wear.

(Worn lifejackets with split seams, rips or those with zippers or clasps that are broken should be discarded.). To be sure they will work properly when required, testing them on an annual basis is highly recommended. It’s as easy as having them put on their lifejacket, wade into chest high water and lifting their feet. If they remain afloat, it works!

Weather aside life can be full of happiness Neighborly Advice According to Ed
RV CLEARANCE 2013 Residence Travel Trailer
by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com
Ed, my old neighbor, told me last week that since I moved away the weather has been great. He reports that it is just one more thing that took a change for the better once I took off for the BC coast. The way Ed tells it, things are now so good that it does matter if the sun shines or if it rains, as it is all good. I’m glad my old neighbor is finding everything looking up after our departure. Our weather, after we moved was some of everything; cloudy, cool, rainy, sunny and hot. Being near our daughter and her family in Washington State was so good that the changing weather was just fine no matter if it was rain or shine. The weather always acts inconsiderately no matter where you are living. I helped my daughter with some landscaping for their front yard. They are to have their house painted and wanted to improve the street appeal of their house’s shrubs, hedges, lawn, and flower beds. I offered to take on the project, but the weather went from cool and cloudy, to sunny and hot as soon as, I transplanted bedding plants, specifically flowers. It turned out to be the hottest day of the year to date, and it ushered in a week of blistering hot weather. Cool and wet is best for the transplanting of flowers but I got the landscaping done in the hot sun. A, 50, sunscreen, made my face white as a ghost and stuck on like glue, but it kept me from being sun burnt. When you need to do something, you cannot dictate if you will have the weather you would prefer. You have
to make the best of what comes your way. I have found that while traveling one may not have the luxury of worshipping in a congregation of one’s usual denomination. The number of churches nearby you when you are traveling and the service time may dictate which church you attend. In his years as a rabbi, Jesus went to the synagogue near him on the Sabbath. Jesus, although he was the Son of God, took the time publicly to honor his Father in heaven. He considered the reading of God’s word and its discussion as needful and necessary. Often, Jesus demonstrated the power of God by healing those who needed help physically, and by forgiving peoples’ sins, for the care of their souls. Jesus was concerned about both the spirit and the body of people as God’s Word proclaims. Jesus often received criticism from other religious leaders for enacting or practicing the word of God in his life and the lives of other people. Other religious leaders were more concerned with talking about how wise, and superior they were when it came to God. They had little concern for helping those in need, especially obvious sinners. They were not concerned as Jesus was with the healing of the sick, the forgiving of sins or teaching to edify people in the love of God. Rain or shine, Jesus dedicated his life, and death to loving sinners. He brought God’s power to the needs of others. He humbled himself as a doer of God’s word, as we are also all called to do.

Red Cross to give seniors a friendly visit By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A real issue for seniors in the province is social isolation, as they have difficulty getting into the community. The Red Cross aims to make the lives of these seniors better with the Friendly Visiting Program, which aims to connect seniors and volunteers to enrich their social lives. Michelle Smith, Friendly Visiting Coordinator, says that the goal of the program is to reduce the isolation of seniors in the area. By reducing social isolation, it allows seniors to live independently in their own home for longer, and improve their health and wellbeing. The decision to begin the pilot program in Yorkton was driven by the demographics in the area. There is a large senior population both within the city and in the surrounding rural areas, explains Smith. The goal is to begin in Yorkton, and steadily expand into the surrounding rural areas over the next three years, moving into Melville, Ituna, Preeceville, Norquay, Langenburg and Churchbridge. “In Yorkton’s Sunrise Health Region, we have the oldest population in
the province, so that’s why the pilot initiated here, to address rural needs and concerns.” What actually happens during a visit depends on the senior and the volunteer, it’s a social call and they can do whatever they enjoy to spend the time. Smith suggests that some people may want to play cards, watch the news or simply chat. She says the goal is interaction, and for volunteers it’s a way to be part of someone’s life. “The volunteers benefit by having that engagement with seniors, learning about seniors and their lifestyle and the fulfillment of being a part of somebody’s life and helping them remain independent.” For seniors it means a way to maintain independence and continue to have a social life. While age can make it a challenge to get out and socialize in the community, Smith says that the friendly visiting program aims to remove that challenge. “We’re bringing the community to them in the comfort of their own home. We have the ability to positively affect their mental health.” SecurTek is contributing $20,000 to the program, and Darrell Jones,
President and CEO of SecurTek says they want to support the safety of area seniors. “When people are living in isolation, there are issues of safety, so we saw this as something as we could support that was consistent with our values.” Jones anticipates that SecurTek employees will be part of the program through volunteering as well, as they encourage employees to get involved in the community. Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit says that supporting organizations like the Red Cross are an important way to meet a community’s needs. “We find it’s really important to partner with community-based organizations through one way shape or form, whether it’s directly through government, or some of the arm’s length entities of government... This one, focused on seniors especially with our area having such a high senior demographic, it’s really important to pay attention to that.” The goal is to improve quality of life for seniors, but also keep seniors living independently longer. Ottenbreit says that keeping people healthier longer it improves their quality of life, and also reduces the load on the
Mininum wage set to increase October Saskatchewan’s minimum wage will increase to $10.50 from $10.20 per hour, effective October 1, 2015. This is the seventh increase in the minimum wage since 2007. “With Saskatchewan’s economy continuing to grow, the indexation formula used to calculate minimum wage shows that the minimum wage should increase as well,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. Minimum wage is reviewed yearly using
an indexation formula based on an equal weighting of the change of the Consumer Price Index and the Average Hourly Wage for the previous year. Changes are subject to Cabinet approval and are to be announced by June 30 each year. These changes would take effect October 1 of the same year. “This increase will continue to give youth, students and other minimum wage earners more disposable income and improve their standard of living,” Morgan said.
“Announcing the changes in June of each year also provides business owners predictability, allowing businesses to prepare for the changes the following fall.” There are almost 24,000 minimum wage earners in the Saskatchewan workforce who will benefit from the minimum wage increase. The Government of Saskatchewan is also assisting minimum wage earners by increasing the basic personal tax exemption, the child tax credit and the Saskatchewan Low Income Tax Credit.
HYUNDAI FOR HABITAT – For the fourth straight year, Yorkton Hyundai is giving away a car to help Habitat for Humanity in the City. The 2015 Hyundai Accent GL will be raffled off in support of the upcoming Habitat build, which will be a duplex for two area low-income families, with half of the build designated the Hyundai Build in honor of the over $100,000 worth of contributions that the dealership has made towards the organization.

Although men have been assigned the stereotype of working the backyard grill, it is a joy that is shared by all home culinary enthusiasts. It’s a summertime passion. The aroma of lump charcoal being lit starts my mouth watering as my mind conjures up recollections of flame-licked meats, and fire caramelized vegetables. Lump charcoal is the new black when it comes to barbecuing, and with a few basic tips and some research, you can overcome any intimidation you may have towards this natural fuel. Before I get into the benefits of lump charcoal, I must stress that the quality of equipment is important. I hear of so many people purchasing equipment just because the price is right. Your outdoor cooking appliance is a significant purchase and should not be looked upon differently than the purchase of a new oven/stove for your kitchen. If anything, quality in an outdoor cooker should be of higher importance that your indoor oven/stove because it will be subjected to the elements; even with a cover over it the environment is more humid than anything you use indoors. A barbeque should not be considered a disposable fixture. You should not have to replace it every few years. You would never dream of doing that with your indoor oven/stove, so why do you expect to do that with your barbecue? Do your research. How
Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com long has the company been operating for? How long is the warranty? Is the warranty administered through the retailer or do you have to deal with the manufacturer yourself? How easy is it to get replacement parts and accessories? Taking the time to investigate before you purchase will pay off in the long run. Barbecued flavor from natural wood is the best in my opinion and natural lump charcoal is arguably the way to go. Sure there are other products that will give you smoke flavor like pellets or bisquettes in different smokers. However these are made from wood chips and/ or sawdust compressed together, and because of that they are more susceptible to moisture absorption, and also not usually used in direct high heat searing. The old standby square formed briquettes, compressed with binding ingredients, are also no comparison to natural lump charcoal. Lump charcoal is basically just chunks of wood that have been heated with little oxygen. This process carbonizes the wood and transforms it into this incredible long-lasting fuel that naturally adds amazing flavor to anything grilled with it. I have read that archeo-
logical digs have proven that we as humans have been making charcoal for the purpose of cooking for over thirty thousand years. This would then be the oldest known form of cooking to mankind. It’s simple: we take from nature through sustainable resources, cook our food, and give back to nature by contributing the compostable ash to our gardens. The bag you purchase must say “lump charcoal” to know that you’re getting the real deal. There are many brands in the market place to choose from. Charcoal made from only hardwood will be the premium choice. Hardwood lump charcoal lasts longer, is easier to light, makes food taste better in my opinion, and is more receptive to oxygen flow. To have fire, in the simplest form, is to have fuel, ignition and oxygen. Controlling the flow of oxygen through air vents on a charcoal grill to increase/decrease temperature will replace the working of gas knobs on a gas/propane grill. A fire can’t burn, or let alone increase in temperature, without oxygen. Increase the oxygen and you will increase the amount of fire, and thus increase the temperature of the cook.
