A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN the City of Yorkton, the Government of Saskatchewan, and the Credit Union is helping to bring more affordable homes to the city. On Friday ribbons were cut at two new locations that will see the development of 20 entry-level homes in Yorkton. Pictured above (l-r) are Kevin Lukey, Cornerstone Credit Union; Wanda Hunchak, VP Westcap Mgt.; Ryan Bent, children and wife Lisa (purchasers of one of the homes to be constructed, through the assistance of the HeadStart Program); Mayor James Wilson (standing with the Bent family); MLA Greg Ottenbreit; and Lee Rusnak, Deneschuk Homes, building contractor for the above housing project.

Affordable housing options expand in Yorkton By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer Construction is booming in the city and that means more opportunities for local families to become home owners. Two more Yorkton condominium developments, totalling 20 entry-level homes were announced last week and

together they are receiving $3.4 million in financing through the HeadStart on a Home (HeadStart) program. The announcement was made at a ground breaking ceremony for Good Spirit Crescent, a 14-unit project which received $2.4 million in financing under the program. The second project, Fifth Avenue Estates, received

$972,000 in financing to build six additional homes. “The construction of these projects is wonderful news for the citizens of Yorkton and surrounding area,” says Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit on behalf of Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation June Draude. “As our province continues to grow

and prosper, and more people are calling Saskatchewan home, finding an entry-level home that is affordable in today’s market can be challenging. I am pleased that HeadStart is helping to address this issue, and that developers and home purchasers are expressing interest in the program.” Continued on Page 3.

GSSD sets plan for the future: concept to be unveiled in August By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The area encompassed by the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) has undergone many changes over the past five years, and now it’s time to plan

for the next five. The GSSD has put together a strategic plan for the future, and is planning to unveil it on August 29. Dwayne Reeve, Director of Education, explains that the new plan, which was facilitated by Laura

Soparlo Consulting, involved first listening to people in the community in November 2011, and continued over months with focus groups, surveys and public meetings. He says it’s taken a long amount of time to go

through the information collected and make a plan for the division. The cost of bringing in an external consultant was $20,000, and Reeve says that the staff put in a great deal of time into the project as well.

Reeve explains that a plan is necessary because the division has been working with their initial plan over the past six years, which doesn’t account for changes that the division has seen since that plan was put in

Annual tourney raises almost $100,000 for health

PROVINCIAL CHAMP – Last year, as a Grade 11 Yorkton Regional High School student, Brandon Campbell aced the physics contest without having taken the course; placing in the top 10 in the province. This year he also had incredible results while under unfair conditions. Brandon wrote the U of S Physics Contest in the midst of writing the equivalent of two three hour university math finals, the Advanced Placement calculus final and the Advanced Placement English final. Not only did he write the contest, he won the contest – placing first in Saskatchewan. Congratulations Brandon! These latest results mark the 10th medal that YRHS students have received in the nine year history of the U of S Saskatchewan High School Physics Scholarship Competition.

The Health Foundation’s 13th Annual Charity Golf Classic was a huge success with golfers raising $94,948 in pledges. The funds will purchase equipment for 14 facilities in 12 local communities in Sunrise Health Region. “We were very fortunate to have a great day of sunshine and a gentle breeze. The golf course was lush and green; I don’t think we could have had a better day,” comments Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “We have to thank our presenting sponsors who did a great job organizing the tournament this year.” Presenting Sponsors donate $2,500 each, but they also help organize the Charity Golf Classic in addition to their financial donation. The presenting sponsors this year are: Mosaic Potash Esterhazy, SaskTel, LDM Foods Inc. and the Credit Unions of East Central Saskatchewan. “We like how this tournament is run, with the proceeds going to medical facilities throughout the health region, where many of your clients, customers and employees live” says Darryl Flunder, Procurement Manager for LDM. “Healthcare is a good cause, eventually everyone will use the healthcare system, and when we need it we want good facilities and equipment.”

“We are very pleased LDM Foods came on board as a presenting sponsor several years ago, they have helped us to take the Charity Golf Classic to a new level,” adds Fisher. “In addition to sponsoring they enter a team of golfers in the tournament and every year they are among our top fundraisers. In the four years LDM has been a Presenting Sponsor their teams have raised over $50,000 in addition to the sponsorship money and volunteer time they provide.” In total, 51 businesses

covered the costs of the golf tournament through sponsorships, and another 56 businesses donated prizes. The large number of sponsorships and donated prizes keep the cost of the golf tournament low allowing 100 per cent of the monies raised by golfers to be used to buy equipment. “There is tremendous support from individuals throughout the region for the tournament as well. This year golfers collected 1,543 pledges.” Continued on Page 3.

“That’s a huge number of people making donations, and it shows how much work the golfers do to raise funds for healthcare. That’s also $61 a pledge on average – this tournament is the perfect example of how a lot of $20, $50 and $100 donations mixed in with a few large donations can add up to a lot of money,” says Fisher. First prize this year was a seven day all inclusive Cuban vacation for two. The winner has their choice of several locations: from Havana or Cayo Santa Maria, or Varadero. Air from Regina is included. CAA Travel of Yorkton provided the vacation prize at no charge. Top fundraisers this year included: 1. Laurie Fischer of Winnipeg who raised $12,020 to win the Cuban vacation 2. Ken Chyz of Yorkton raised $6,440, the second highest amount of money, and won a $1,000 travel voucher with CAA; and, 3. Jerry Palagian of Yorkton raised $3,470 and won a $500 travel voucher with CAA. “The Charity Golf Classic has been going for 13 years, and in that time $925,000 has been raised and used to improve our local healthcare,” adds Fisher.

This year the top fundraising team was Kris Sapara, Kim Sapara, Laurie Fischer, and Curtis Loucks who raised a total of $25,790. They were presented with the Credit Unions of East Central Saskatchewan Top Fundraising Team Trophy. “The Health Foundation extends a very sincere thank you to each and every golfer for their tremendous effort to raise funds to improve healthcare in our communities.” The equipment that will be purchased with proceeds from the Charity Golf Classic is arranged with the healthcare facility in each community before the golf tournament. That list is put together based on the results of the previous year. Equipment purchases include: • Yorkton Regional Health Centre: Endoscopy Stretcher, $6,500 • Yorkton Regional Health Centre Lab: two Holter Monitors, $8,000 • Yorkton Regional Health Centre Respiratory Sleep Recorder for Sleep Apnea, $8,000 • St. Anthony’s – Esterhazy Nursing: Transport Hand Held Ventilator, $9,400 • Kamsack Hospital: Nursing Disinfecting and Cleaning Machine, $5,000 • Theodore Health Centre: Nursing IV Pumps - Pump A,

“We’ve also had significant changes in terms of staffing and also some changes in accountability to the government. It was time for us to look at where we wanted to go in the next five years.” One thing that won’t be changing is the division’s primary focus, Reeve says, with the student being the center of the division’s efforts. He says that keeping the student the priority was something that was a consistent theme in the consultations, and he says some of the planned initiatives will keep that in a greater and sharper focus. The unveiling of the plan itself will be a major event, with the nearly 1,000 staff members being brought together at the Gallagher Centre Flexi-Hall, with tickets also being available to members of the public. As well as the unveiling of the strategic plan, Canadian athlete and motivational speaker Mark

Tewksbury will be speaking at the event. Tewksbury has won gold, silver and bronze in swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics, and has held 21 national titles and seven world records.. This will be Tewksbury’s first speaking achievement after his role as chef de mission a the London Olympics this summer. “We haven’t brought all of our staff together since we began as a school division in January 2006, so it’s not an event we do on a regular basis, but we did want to kick it off with an opportunity for people to hear from a top quality speaker who speaks to the importance of change, personal commitment and high levels of performance. There’s no better person to do that than an Olympic gold medalist.” He says that this plan is an exciting development for the division, and it’s appropriate to kick off the next five years with someone who captures what the plan will mean to the division in the next five years.

“HeadStart on a Home is a made in Saskatchewan solution that will help sustain our current growth and prosperity in this province,” adds Westcap Mgt. Ltd. President and CEO Grant Kook. “As the fund manager of HeadStart, working closely with our credit union partners, we are very pleased to have approved more than $57 million in entry-level projects to date, including these two projects in collaboration with the City of Yorkton.” The Good Spirit Crescent project will consist of 14 three-bedroom units in seven semi detached bungalows. It is under construction in the new Riverside Terrace subdivision at 205 Good Spirit Crescent. Each unit will sell for $236,000. Fifth Avenue Estates,

located at 164 Fifth Avenue South, will contain six three-bedroom units in two-storey detached homes. The cost of each home will be $239,750. Both projects are expected to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 2012. Municipalities may apply for the loans on behalf of builders and developers. Funding of more than $200 million is available for the program through the Federal Immigrant Investor Program, which will flow through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Investor Fund Inc. (SIIF), managed by Westcap Mgt. Ltd. (Westcap). SIIF is a subsidiary of Crown Investments Corporation. HeadStart on a Home will finance construction of at least 1,000 new entry-level homes over the next five years.

Builders and developers are eligible for construction loans of 90 per cent of the construction cost of the homes, including land, at an interest rate of four per cent. The target sale price for homes constructed through HeadStart on a Home will be at or below the MLS average sale price in each community, expected to range from $180,000 to $300,000. The homes may include condominiums, multiunit, single family dwellings, modular homes or ready-to-move units. Westcap is partnering with Saskatchewan credit unions (Advantage, Affinity, Conexus, Cornerstone, Diamond

North, Innovation, North Valley, Plainsview, Prairie Centre, Synergy, Spectra and Weyburn) to administer HeadStart on a Home to ensure communities across Saskatchewan have every opportunity to be a part of this housing program. Builders who are interested in meeting their community’s housing needs may contact Westcap directly or contact the local participating credit union to discuss the project and eligibility.

Poised to compete on the world stage We’re setting the wheels in motion to compete on an international scale and it’s a win win for local farmers. The province has announced it is setting aside $1 million in new funding to expand agriculture exports and enhance trade opportunities. It’s the way of the future and a must in today’s global economy. “Saskatchewan provides safe, reliable agriculture products and some of the most innovative farm equipment to the world,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart says. “This program will help to expand these opportunities and ensure agriculture continues to play a vital role in our growing provincial economy.” The International Market Development Program is designed to help industry establish, maintain and expand international market presence; increase the number and value of trade missions coming in to Saskatchewan; and open, protect and expand market access for Saskatchewan products. The program is open to Saskatchewan businesses, industry, organizations and agriculture shows such as the Farm Progress Show. Approved applicants can receive funding for up to 50 per cent of eligible costs, to a maximum of $100,000 per applicant. The deadline for applications is February 1, 2013. In 2011, for the first time ever, Saskatchewan exceeded $10 billion in agri-food exports and has surpassed Ontario as the top agri-food exporting province in Canada. In the last five years, Saskatchewan agriculture exports have increased by $3.8 billion, or nearly 60 per cent. Pulse crop exports now total nearly $1.85 billion and canola seed exports have increased by 150 per cent from $856 million in 2007 to more than $2.1 billion in 2011. We’re making a mark on the globe and to boost that trend just makes sense, both for our economy and for the livelihood of local producers.

Zeroing in on a better way to educate Back in MY day, if I, as a student didn’t complete an assignment at school, if I skipped a class or was getting bad marks my parents heard about it and there were repercussions. This still happens now in some cases and it should as far as I’m concerned. If we take away all the repercussions and make everything coast along easy, are our children really going to benefit in the end? I think not. An Edmonton teacher with 35 years experience has been suspended and fully expects to be fired for giving some of his students zeros despite his school’s “nozero” grading policy. A physics teacher, Lynden Dorval says he continued giving zeros when students failed to hand in assignments, instead of using the school dictated behaviour codes like “not completed.” “To me, this is just not working,” he says of the nozero policy the school introduced about a year and a half ago. “This is just a way of inflating marks and it’s not benefiting the students... It’s a way of pushing kids through and making the stats look good, but at what cost?” I agree. If they know there’s no possibility of failing there are most definitely students out there who

WILL take advantage of the system. It’s the easy route but it doesn’t make it right. Under the school policy as it exists now, a teacher has to pursue his or her students to arrange for late assignments. If they’re not in getting the Shannon Deveau successful student to cooperate, they are to mark “unable to evaluate.” That’s just plain silly if you ask me. Teachers today have a big task at hand and enough to contend with on their plates. Classrooms are full with a wide variety of student needs to attend to, why should a teacher have to waste his or her valuable time hunting down assignments? Apparently the “no zero” policy is becoming more and more popular with proponents saying it helps to ensure more students make it through the school system. Well sure it does, but again, at what cost? If we’re pushing kids through who have no comprehension of the course material, what then is the point of attending class? Some changes are beneficial and we learn as we go along but taking away a teacher’s tools to properly educate our children – the whole goal behind sending them to school – is not going to accomplish the desired end result.

The way I see it... Column

Finding a way to get dirty drugs off of the street Dr. Perry Kendall, chief provincial medical health officer for B.C., has caused a bit of controversy by saying that MDMA, the main ingredient in ecstasy, can be safe, provided that it’s in a pure form. This is a medically accurate statement, but now he has touched off a debate about that drug, and whether or not it should be legalized. While he has stated that he doesn’t want to get into a legalization debate, and was merely giving an answer to a hypothetical question about what would happen if the drug was legalized, he makes one consider whether or not legalizing the drug might actually be a good idea. I say this as someone who does not partake in the drug in question, but instead as someone who knows that right now the drug is dangerous. People have died from taking pills they believed were MDMA, so if the pure form has been proven safe, what is going on? The answer is simple, the drug people get on the street is not the pure form of the drug. There is something in there that is dangerous, and when one takes one of these pills, they don’t know what exactly they’re taking. It could be pure MDMA, but it could also be something that could kill them, and they only find out depending on where they wake up the next morning, if they wake up at all. It’s very dangerous, but it’s dangerous because of where it comes from.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger By its nature, a black market doesn’t have any regulation. As a result, many people who sell MDMA tend to include other things in there to make their operating costs cheaper and extend their profits. This leads to a drug which is not pure, and all manner of things can be in there in an attempt to extend the batch and get a greater return on investment. The illegal drug trade is perhaps the best indication of what happens in an industry that is completely unregulated, there are no safety protocols, no health inspections, no guarantees that the products contain what it says on the box. As a result, you get cases where people die from drugs which in their pure form

would be largely harmless. Should the drug actually be legal then? If it’s safe, then it stands to reason that a tightly monitored sale of the drug would be safer than keeping it on the streets as it is right now. While our society is very reluctant to allow for more drugs to be on the market, one has to consider the public safety implications in this case. If there’s no way to catch the manufacturers responsible for the dangerous supply, then one has to consider different ways to drive them out of the market. In theory, a legal supply would make it difficult for the black market sellers to function, as they would find it more difficult to sell their tainted supply. There are also the sociological implications of having another readily available drug on the market, and that goes far beyond whether something can be proven safe in a lab. While people can get the drug right now, it’s difficult to predict what exactly would happen with commonly available MDMA, and what consequences might arise. It might see a decrease in usage, as Kendall predicts, or it might go up as people are convinced it’s harmless and decide to have a go. That’s not easy to predict, but there needs to be some way to get the tainted batches off the street. Legalization is a controversial notion, but we need to find a way to stop these deaths from happening.

Equalization’s weak constitutional status

Who will ultimately stand to benefit?

To the Editor:

If the average person knows much about federal cash transfers to the provinces, they might know that one program, equalization, is in the constitution. Equalization, a $14.8 billion transfer program funded out of federal taxes, ends up in the coffers of six provinces: Quebec, with the largest share at $7.4 billion, and Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, who divvy up the rest. Equalization ostensibly fulfills a constitutional requirement (Section 36(2)), whereby less prosperous provincial governments are given funds to provide their residents with public services that are reasonably comparable to those in other provinces, at reasonably comparable levels of taxation. However, that section has led to myths about the ability to change equalization, in addition to other legends about equalization’s usefulness and desirability. So here is a fact check. As my colleague Fred McMahon has argued in a series of books and articles over the years, transfer programs do not actually help have-not provinces (those who receive equalization) develop economically. As McMahon points out, based on the empirical data, the lagging regions in Canada have been catching up more slowly than poorer regions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In fact, “over-equalization” weakens the economies of poorer provinces because the rich flow of funds boosts government spending, pulls resources away from the private sector, and politicizes the economy. For private businesses, it becomes more about who you know in government, the region’s biggest customer, than about which goods and services are produced. Government, by bidding resources and workers away from the private sector, artificially increases

costs for the private sector. That reduces competitiveness and growth – things poorer provinces need much more than bundles of cash from the rest of Canada. So that’s one problem, and myth, about equalization: that it actually helps poorer provinces. A second myth is equally critical: that equalization is enforceable in court because of its constitutional status. However, as legal scholar Burton H. Kellock, Q.C., and former Fraser Institute analyst Sylvia LeRoy pointed out in a 2006 paper on the subject, the legal significance of the Constitution’s equalization provisions are widely misunderstood. For instance, University of Alberta law professor, Dale Gibson, has observed that “... it could be contended that because s.36(2) contains no reference to legislative jurisdiction, and employs soft terms like ‘committed’ and ‘principle’ rather than power-granting expressions like ‘may make laws,’ it was not intended to have any direct legal effect.” Similarly, Professor Peter Hogg, one of Canada’s leading constitutional scholars, has described equalization as “statements of economic and social goals that ought to guide government but which are not enforceable in court.” In summarizing the consensus, Kellock and LeRoy observe that: “The ambiguity of these terms has contributed to a consensus amongst academics,” which is, to quote Hogg, that “the constitutional obligation to make adequate equalization payments to the poorer provinces is probably too vague, and too political, to be justiciable.” If the form and funding of equalization payments then resembles less a constitutional imperative and more a non-enforceable informal convention, that means equalization can be changed. That puts it in the realm of politics. Thus, here are some suggestions that McMahon and I put forward

to reform equalization in the shortterm and possibly abolish it in the long-term. First, equalization should be based on the cost of providing services. It costs a lot more to deliver services in Vancouver than in Charlottetown. (Compare their house prices, for example). Second, freeze the amount now paid out by the federal government under equalization and transfer payment programs. That would more quickly enable a third suggestion, from which provincial finances will benefit in terms of flexibility. Remove the federal government from areas of provincial responsibility and return an equivalent amount of tax room to the provinces. This would mean, at least initially, there would primarily be one transfer payment program, not a complex of interlocking programs. Preferably and eventually, even equalization should end in exchange for a variety of more tax points. This latter reform – equalization’s eventual end – would increase transparency and improve government incentives since taxpayers would be clear about which level of government delivers what service and at what cost. Coincidentally, it is also a position that one our earliest prime ministers, Wilfrid Laurier would heartily endorse. In a 1905 speech, Laurier noted this about responsible government: “It is a sound principle of finance and a still sounder principle of government that those who have the duty of expending the revenue of a country should also be saddled with the responsibility of levying it and providing it.” Exactly. This is why Ottawa and the provinces should try and eventually move away from transfer payment programs. Mark Milke, Troy Media Corp.

We get what we vote for: CWB controversy To the Editor: The present controversy in Western Canada over the loss of the CWB single desk is extremely divisive. There are well entrenched views on either side. It is simply not possible to have a single desk and not have a single desk at the same time. So in the long run, the views of one side of the other must prevail. We will all have to live with the consequences. The grains industry and Western Canada have survived many a crisis before. We will survive this one too. Let us remember however, that in spite of

what some would have us believe, the removal of the CWB single desk is not long standing Conservative Party policy. It was a Conservative Government that passed the legislation on July 5, 1935 setting the stage for the CWB. The Reform Party must take full credit for the latest turn of events where the single desk became a partisan political issue. Whatever we end up with, the economic impacts may be easier to accommodate than the bully-boy tactics of Ritz and Harper. This seems to be characteristic of our present federal government.

It is particularly apparent in their approach to the CWB. The best example of this slash and burn (take no prisoners) attitude is their little insider joke, “The train is coming, get off the track before you get run over.” Our forefathers all helped lay the track and pay for the train. Now we have a temporary and newly appointed conductor and brakeman threatening to run over anyone who gets in their way. • No desire to consult with those most directly affected. • No respect for any opinion other than their

own. • No willingness to concede that there might just be honest people of good will on both sides of the discussion. Democracy is built on consultation and compromise. Where compromise is not possible, the greater the need for consultation. In the end, we all have to go along with the decision. Democracy’s greatest weakness is also its greatest strength. We get what we vote for so we all have to put up with it. Thank goodness, not forever. Doug Cowling, Yorkton, SK.

The real marathon is outside parliament... and ongoing! To the Editor: From about 8:40 p.m. this past Wednesday until just before midnight on Thursday, the House of Commons was locked into marathon voting on 159 proposed amendments to the Harper government’s so-called “budget” legislation. For some 27 consecutive hours, MPs voted on a wild mixture of Conservative policies – everything from cutting old age pensions and killing community pastures to the elimination of environmental protection at the federal level, a more restrictive and arbitrary immigration system, fewer food inspectors, less civilian supervision over Canadian spies... This “omnibus Bill” was completely unprecedented – 750 clauses

spread over 421 pages purporting to alter 70 other Canadian laws all at once, with only about a quarter of all that flowing from legitimate “budget” matters. Everything else was just jammed in and rammed through under ludicrous time constraints, without decent democratic scrutiny or debate. One thing was obvious. The government didn’t want the public to be informed! When it was all over – and 308 bleary-eyed MPs had finally gone home – the Harper regime forced its will on Canadians. Not a single comma was modified. The Conservatives claim to have a “strong mandate” to do this sort of thing – to do anything they please, actually. But in truth, only 24-per-

cent of voting age Canadians actually supported Mr. Harper in the last election. And I bet none of them cast their ballots intending to slash the small pensions available in future to elderly widows living on the lowest of incomes. Stephen Harper doesn’t pretend to care about folks like that. Neither does he respect the hopes and aspirations of the 76-percent of Canadians who did not vote Conservative. To him, they’re just road-kill getting in his way. But many other people DO care. I was amazed at the high volume of social-media chatter all through this grotesque procedure. Continued on Page 9.

To the Editor: The contemptuous treatment of Canadian farmers/citizens by the Harper Conservatives is unbelievable! It should make most who voted Tory cringe in shame. Harper, Ritz and Anderson destroyed the Canadian Wheat Board which was operated by a board of farmers elected by farmers, paid for by farmers and worked on the behalf of all farmers. They reduced the role of the Canadian Grain Commission, which protected farmers from unscrupulous grading by grain companies. They eliminated the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s role in protecting consumers from unsafe drugs and food products, false advertising, and enforcing food labeling, all for the benefit of consumers. More recently they cut the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration which operates 85 Community Pastures, water management, grants for wells and dugouts and provides trees for farms, community development, municipal governments etc. These pastures continually moved their bulls around, thus elimination the need for farmers/ranchers buying expensive breeding bulls every few years. Ritz had the gall to announce that the government was setting up a 25 million dollar grant (All taxpayer money) to boost the amount of grain shipped through the Port of Churchill. Who will get this money – certainly not the farmers? It will go to the likes of Pioneer Grain (Richardson’s) with terminal at Vancouver, Thunder Bay and Prince Rupert: Alliance Grain Terminal (Vancouver and Thunder Bay); Parrish & Heimbecker (Vancouver & Thunder Bay); Cargill (Vancouver, Thunder Bay and Prince Rupert); Viterra ( Vancouver, Thunder Bay & Prince Rupert); ADM (Thunder Bay) and OmniTrax Rail. Is anyone naïve enough to think that these corporation will utilize Churchill when they already own terminals at other Ports? Add to this the thousands of people they have fired, the changes to the Employment Insurance, and increased eligibility for OAS from 65 to 67, they have proven, without a doubt that their loyalty lies with the Corporate sector of the world and not the Canadian citizen. At the same time they have reduced the corporate tax rate from 21 per cent (2007) to 15 Per cent (2012). Small wonder they have deficit budgets. Joyce Neufeld Waldeck, SK.

Making the perfect homemade burger – part 3 of 3 As the final entry of a three part series on perfecting homemade burgers, this one will focus on burger toppings and bread selection. If you missed either two of my previous columns on meat selection, or ingredients to add to the burger mix, please email me at dez@ chefdez.com and I will be more than happy to send them to you. When building a burger from scratch, many people will tend to be scant with the toppings in order to minimize the amount of prep, but they’re missing the best opportunity to compliment the patty that they proudly created. Going without complimentary toppings is like having mashed potatoes without the gravy, or apple pie without the ice cream. Mayo, mustard, relish, and ketchup are obvious additions. A classic, but

essential way to also top any burger would be with the traditional lettuce, tomato and cheese, but there any many others to consider: bacon, onion (fresh or sautéed), pickles, etc. The main thing to remember that when adding vegetables (such as lettuce and tomato) make sure you season them with salt and pepper – this one step will dramatically enhance the flavor of your finished burger. The toppings don’t have to stop there. There are countless others that could crown your masterpiece but there is not enough room in one column to list them all. They could be hot sauces, ethnic sauces, different types of mustards, salad dressings, dips, spreads, olives, sundried tomatoes, and an assortment of cheeses for example. The type of bread/bun

Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com you choose could be based on a number of factors. Maybe you are creating a burger of a certain ethnic cuisine, such as an Italian burger; then I would use a type of Italian bread like a ciabatta bun for example. Or perhaps your burgers are quite messy because they are dripping with toppings; then I suggest a denser type bread/ bun to help make it more firm when it comes to eating the burger. Try to stay away from the plain, generic, small white burger buns as they are

just so ordinary and boring. Also toasting the bread/buns on the grill always and more texture/ flavor to your finished burger; brush lightly with oil and put directly on the grates of your BBQ until lightly charred and toasted. One last note, always melt the cheese onto the burger patty during the last part of the cooking time, if using a melt-able cheese. Melted gooey cheese is more appealing in not only taste, but presentation as well.

Dear Chef Dez: Someone once mentioned to me that there is a proper order to assembling a burger or sandwich for best flavor. Is this true, and if so what’s the secret to doing this? Michael F., Chilliwack, BC Dear Michael, Yes, there is a proper order for assembling a sandwich or burger. The rule I tend to follow is this: Strong flavors below the protein and light/ creamy flavours above the protein. So for example on the bottom half of the bun/bread below your burger patty or meat slices you should put such ingredients as onions, ketchup, relish, mustard, etc. Layered on top of your protein should be

items such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayo, etc. I have been told that because different taste buds at different locations on our tongues pick up different flavors, this is the best way to experience the finest a burger or sandwich has to offer your awaiting palate. If you don’t believe it, assemble it as I have suggested, take a bite, and then take a second bite with it upside down… the first bite will taste better. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, BC V2T 6R4 Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cooking Show Performer.

Sask. Scholarship interest builds

Premier Brad Wall recently visited Mount Royal Collegiate in Saskatoon to discuss a new Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship (SAS) program with the school’s Grade 12 students. Beginning in 2012, the scholarship will provide Saskatchewan Grade 12 graduates who enroll at a Saskatchewan post-secondary institution with up to $500 per year to a lifetime maximum of $2,000 over 10 years. “Post-secondary education needs to be accessible and affordable for students,” Wall says. “Saskatchewan offers many opportunities, and it is our hope that the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship will encourage our high school graduates to continue their studies and build a future here in the province.” The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship will reduce tuition for students entering post-secondary programs starting after April 1, 2012, and applies to a broad array of Saskatchewan post-secondary institutions and programs that are recognized for Canada-Saskatchewan Student Loans. “In addition to the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship, our government has invested in other scholarships, bursaries and grants to benefit our province’s post-secondary students,” Wall said. “We also offer the Graduate Retention Program which provides a tuition refund of up to $20,000 to post-secondary graduates that choose to live in Saskatchewan.” Learn more at: www.aeei.gov.sk.ca/scholarship-sas.

Parliament marathon is on Con’t from Page 5.

The vast majority were strongly supportive of doing everything possible to stand in Mr. Harper’s way. There were also a handful of right-wingers on the other side – typically abusive and some downright vulgar. It’s telling how they cannot argue the substance of their convictions. They resort quickly to slogans and profanity. But mainstream Canada is so much better than that. Most people in this fine country want government that’s smart and efficient, but also compassionate and inclusive, to bring out the best in Canadians. For these folks – the vast majority – the “marathon” toward that worthy goal is still ongoing! Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

Elder abuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to face the reality The 7th annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) took place on June 15, 2012. The idea of a special day to keep people aware of elder abuse originated in Canada. Happily, it is now officially recognized by the United Nations. Nine out of ten Canadians consider raising awareness of elder abuse as a high priority. No wonder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; elder abuse threatens the well-being of seniors across Canada and around the world. In Canada alone, between four and ten percent of Canadian seniors experience some kind of abuse, and one in five Canadians believe they know of a senior who might be experiencing some form of abuse. Elder abuse is prevalent in communities across Canada. It affects seniors from all walks of life, and it takes many forms, including financial, physical and psychological abuse and neglect. In fact, one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to listen long to the news to hear of yet another case of a senior victim of abuse. And not long ago, I had a visitor to my office who talked about some of the problems here in Yorkton-Melville. The stories made me shudder.

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz Senior citizens who have been capable parents, grandparents and employees, are often ashamed to admit theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become victims. For this reason, elder abuse is often a hidden problem. But as with other types of abuse, before it can be addressed and prevented, it must be detected. WEAAD plays a key role in raising awareness to combat it. In addition to awareness campaigns to protect seniors, the Government of Canada, through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, provides funding to organizations across Canada for projects that address elder abuse. Despite Opposition accusations to the contrary, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior population is both valued and esteemed by our government. We recently introduced legislation which, when

passed, will help ensure consistently tough penalties for offences involving abuse of elderly persons. The proposed legislation will amend the Criminal Code of Canada so that evidence that an offence had a significant impact on the victim due to their age (and other personal circumstances such as health or financial situation) would be considered an aggravating factor for sentencing purposes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we worked together to defeat the problem of senior abuse. If you want to help, the first thing to do is become more aware of available resources. For that, I encourage you to visit www.seniors.gc.ca, and follow the links to Elder Abuse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Time to Face the Reality. You can also order publications on elder abuse and financial abuse by calling 1 800 O Canada (1-800-622-6232).

Two charged for drugs Two local teens have gotten themselves into hot water after a drug bust by Yorkton RCMP. In the early evening of June 12, 2012 members from Yorkton Municipal General Investigation Section concluded a drug trafficking investigation involving the two individuals. Police subsequently arrested two males after observing a drug transaction in a parking lot in Yorkton.

Fisher Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cross Canada Challengeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three years ago, the Yorkton Housing Authority challenged each Senior court to walk across Canada. It was a race between all six buildings. Fisher Court, which is home to 35 residents, took on the challenge with great enthusiasm. They created a walking club, some rode their bicycles or their stationary bike, almost all participated in their morning exercises, and some even enjoyed aquacize at the Gallagher Centre Water Park. The challenge was to do 15 to 20 minutes of elevating their heart rate each day. Fisher Court won the race and

On June 13, the tenants trekked to Logan Green at which the Yorkton Housing Authority, in coordination with the City of Yorkton Community Development, Parks & Recreation unveiled and mounted a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallmark Imageâ&#x20AC;?, so all those who pass by can share in the great accomplishment.

The farmer is trained and moves on – part 10 Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the final story of a series on the move to Hazel Dell.

Phew! We finally finished our move to Hazel Dell! Or rather, my wife and Sue did it! My back never recovered in time, but I’ll be back in shape for all the work we have to do here. I’ll keep y’all informed about the progress. However, during the night Annie our Jersey got the “wanderlust” and snuck out by belly crawling under the lowest

wire. None of the horses followed her, they were either not agile enough, or didn’t have the desire to do any exploration. My wife is an early riser and when she got out of bed at 5:00 a.m., she could see Annie’s hoof prints in the new fallen snow. First she had ambled eastward as she knew that there are some cows there, but the swampy marsh stopped her. She then ambled by our house and out the driveway, probably looking for some moo-vies. My wife got in the truck with a bucket of oats and followed the tracks. Annie was hap-

pily grazing in one of the villager’s back yard, and leaving a bit of fertilizer at the same time. My wife got her attention with the oats, snuck a halter over her head and walked her back home like most people would walk their dog. She put her into the pen with Dewey, one of the senior horses, went back to pick up the truck and rushed off to work. Of course I had been fully briefed of the situation before she left, and was asked to keep an eye on Annie. Marion had asked me to drop a hay bale over the fence for the horses, as

Fun Hunt coming your way It’s your chance to showcase your community and have the opportunity to meet a celebrity. Canadian kids aged 16 and under have the chance to meet Canadian teen heartthrob Jordan Francis (“Camp Rock 2,” “Connor Undercover”) and show him all the fun things to do in their hometown for the new Kids’ CBC television and interactive series “Cross Country Fun Hunt.” Starting today, kids can log onto: www.cbc.ca/kids/ games/funhunt/ to nominate themselves and the most fun place or activity in their town or neighbourhood by uploading cool photos and homemade videos. Then, this summer, Jordan Francis and the “Cross Country Fun Hunt” crew hit the road for the ultimate cross-Canada road trip – stopping to visit the destinations that have the highest number of votes online and the kids that live there. “I’m really excited to get a chance to take that epic cross-Canada road trip everyone dreams about,” says Jordan Francis, host, “Cross Country Fun Hunt,” “and being able to get awesome kids to plug in online and then actually get to hang out with them in every corner of the country, is the icing on the cake!” “Canadian kids everywhere and their communities can participate in this summer road trip in the most interactive way possible,” adds Jonathan Finkelstein, Executive Producer, Apartment 11 Productions. “They’ll

experience this country like they never have before.” As a kid, what do you love the most about your place? What everyday fun do you and your friends have that you think is special to where you live? Is there a super fun or unique activity people do in your town? An amazing natural wonder? Or is it home to a restaurant which creates a special local dish? Kids can go online to create custom profiles and nominate these fun destinations! They can put their destinations on the map with a short video and/or photos of themselves and the friends they want to do these fun activities with. On top of that, kids will be able to check out and browse all of the videos and creative content uploaded by other kids all across the country. When the road trip begins this summer, kids get in the virtual driver’s seat and vote online to decide which places Jordan visits as he heads across the country, watching webisodes of the epic adventure unfold day by day. Each destination will be a dot on the interactive “Cross Country Fun Hunt” virtual map which will be open for all to explore. In the fall, Jordan’s epic “Cross Country Fun Hunt” will be turned into a Kids’ CBC television series which will end with a grand finale concert with Jordan and his friends in the neighbourhood or town that gets voted “the funnest place in Canada!”

they were completely out of feed. My back was still giving me a problem, but I managed to climb up on the tractor and delivered the bale as requested. If anybody would have seen me, they would have seen a figure resembling Quasimodo, hunched forward and limping across the yard with the arms swinging from side to side almost dragging on the ground, and then this creature hoisting himself up on the tractor, grunting all the way! Of course our dog Lady thought I was playing and kept jumping up to lick my face! Upon completion of the task, I dragged my sorry butt back into the house and plunked down in my office chair. From my office I can see all the pens and the animals

within them. Everything looked normal for about 3 hours, but suddenly I saw Annie laying on the straw in the pen that she had been blocked out of, chewing her cud! This required some investigation. Quasimodo lurched across the yard to take a good look, but could not determine where she had gotten through! I called my wife to report the phenomena, and she told me not to worry as long as Annie was in one of the pens. I am sure that Annie is related to Houdini, because just after 5:00 p.m, she wandered across the yard to check out the chicken coop! I frantically called my wife, who urged me to take the bucket of oats and entice Annie back into one of the pens.

Quasimodo grabbed the bucket limped over to the layers and called Annie and shook the bucket so Annie could hear the oats. She stopped, turned around and followed me back to an unsecured pen. So while Annie was busy feeding on the oats that I had poured out of the bucket, I strung some temporary wires to secure her there. My wife had hurried home and took over. She found where Annie had just walked straight through the fence, and secured that with a hog panel. Annie didn’t seem the least concerned with all the commotion she had caused! She just looked at me with her big wet eyes and smiled. I guess that makes her a laughing stock?

YORKTON CARDINALS pitching continues to shine despite lack of run support in doubleheader action against the Weyburn Beavers.

Cardinals continue up and down June By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer June has not been kind to the Yorkton Cardinals, who have yet to muster up a winning streak in the month. It seems that every time the Cardinals win a game, something goes wrong in the next. This week was no exception as after a all too familiar 3-0 loss to the Millionaires on Thursday, the Cardinals split two doubleheaders at Jubilee Park with the Weyburn Beavers and Edmonton Prospects. On Thursday against Melville Jamie Whitehead took his turn in taking an undeserved loss in a seven inning, eight strikeout, two hit performance where he allowed just one run. The Cards just managed to get three hits as Mils pitcher Ryan Talley earned

himself his first win of the season with a two hit, eight strikeout gem. Saturday’s doubleheader against the East Division’s worst Weyburn Eagles saw more low scoring and quality pitching. The Cardinals dropped the opening game of the doubleheader 3-1 in a seven inning affair which saw the Beavers take advantage of a two run fifth inning to earn a win over the home Cards. Game two of Saturday’s doubleheader was a role reversal of the opener as the Cardinals had a three run fourth inning, allowing Corey Thompson to shut the door with the save in the seventh inning. Tuesday night’s opening game against the Edmonton Prospects of the West Division saw the Cardinals bats come alive in a 7-1 drubbing. Three run second and fourth innings

put the game out of reach and pitcher Max Chadsey took advantage of the run support in a complete game win. The Cardinals hot bats were cooled quickly as in the second game of the doubleheader Prospects pitcher Markus Fergusson pitched a one hit, complete game shutout as the Prospects took a 4-0 win. Despite only registering one hit in the contest, the Cardinals managed to leave four baserunners on base in the loss. After a 2-3 week the Cardinals head out on a Western Division road trip as they play four games in four nights against Lethbridge and the Okotoks Dawgs. The Cards then head off to Swift Current for two games against the Central Division Indians before coming home to Jubilee Park Tuesday June 26 to host the Millionaires.

Kinsmen football ends season By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The 2012 spring Kinsmen Tackle Football league came to a close Tuesday afternoon as teams from Yorkton, Yorkdale Central School, and Melville joined forces at Kinsmen Century field for super scrimmages to end the season. League organizer Roby Sharpe stated the point of this youth league is to, “Introduce kids to the sport and potentially grow football players from the youth level.” The league, which featured two times and three times a week practice sessions, introduces kids to the sport of tackle football, as well as getting comfortable with playing in full equipment and the contact that comes with it. Offensive and defensive strategy is also intro-

duced to the young players. The league also serves as a recruiting program to the Gridder program which allows kids to play football in the Regina Minor Football League and learn the game further. The Gridders have various age divisions and play games at home at Century Field as well as in Regina. Yorkton Minor Football and the Kinsmen have been ensuring that the sport grows in Yorkton for a few years now and the Gridder program is continuing to grow in numbers and strength year after year, becoming one of the best ran minor sports programs in the city. Registrations for the fall Gridders season are still available, for more information contact Roby Sharpe of Yorkton Minor Football.

Zach Hudy takes silver, bronze in Moose Jaw Moto By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After weeks worth of cancellations and poor track conditions, local motocross rider Zach Hudy finally got a solid weekend of racing in at the Moose Jaw CMRC event on the June 16-17 weekend. With a hot and sunny Saturday giving a rare glimpse of favorable track conditions in what has been an unlucky season weather wise, Hudy took advantage with two second and two third place overall finishes in the doubleheader SaturdaySunday event. On Saturday Hudy started the weekend off strong with a second place finish in intermediate MX2 and a third place overall finish in the GP

Pro-Am event, giving him two podium finishes. Despite a few crashes, including a spill from local rider Levi Litvanyi that took him out of the weekend, it was a good day of racing for all riders. Sunday saw a return to the rainy conditions and once again saw more race cancellations as only the first half of races could be completed. Hudy managed to persevere through the muddy conditions to take a third place finish in intermediate MX2 and a second overall finish in GP ProAM to cap off a very impressive weekend at the track. Hudy credited his experience at the Moose Jaw track to his success saying, “I always enjoy racing in Moose Jaw, that’s where it all started for me

when I was younger.” He also mentioned that as it has been wet and muddy almost every weekend so far this season that he has became comfortable with the poor, sloppy track conditions and it should no longer be an excuse for poor results. Hudy also had the advantage of having a bigger bike for the muddy conditions, giving him more traction and dig than riders with smaller bikes during the Sunday motos. Hudy says that despite crashing twice in his first MX2 moto he came back to earn third place. He thanks his mom and dad for helping him get out to every race weekend as well as Potzus LTD and Schrader’s for helping him out with sponsorship this season.

Mosquito AA team announced . By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The Yorkton Cardinals Mosquito division recently joined forces to create a AA team to continue their season at a higher level.

Sixteen kids tried out for the AA club from the three house league teams with thirteen kids making the final cut.

vincial tournament. Coach Shawn Frankfurt says the young team is practicing twice a week in addition to playing five to six exhibition games against local ballclubs in order to prepare the team for their season wind up in Melville. One of those exhibition games includes an “Under the Lights” game against Langenburg June 27 that will give the young ballplayers an exciting experience as they host Langenburg at Kinsmen Lions Ballpark in the first event of its kind at the Mosquito youth level. The AA Cardinals welcome all spectator support as they experience night baseball for the first time ever.

Euro knockout stage preview: Germany-Spain on path to trilogy The last time a Euro Cup knockout stage fixture was played, Fernando was the man of the moment and Spain finally erased their â&#x20AC;&#x153;chokerâ&#x20AC;? label in international tournaments, beating a German side led by young stars like Bastian Schweinstager and Lukas Podolski one-nil in what was a classic final in Vienna. Then in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa the two sides collided once again, this time in the semi-final. With two more years of experience on both sides and new stars like Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira for Germany and David Villa for Spain the semi-final in South Africa was a rematch football/ soccer fans eagerly anticipated. The Spaniards

once again took a slim one-nil win over the Germans, who were missing eventual Golden Boot winner Thomas Mueller on yellow card accumulations in the semi-final. After heartbreaking losses in 2008 and 2010, combined with the heartbreak of losing to eventual champions Italy in extra time of the 2006 World Cup on home soil, the Germans continued to give their young stars experience and ran through Euro Cup qualifying, conceding only seven goals in the qualification rounds and entered the tournament as usual as contenders. Spain as most people already know, won the 2010 World Cup in extra time over the Dutch off of an

The Yorkton United Fury also play a Regina league match against QC United at one p.m. at Sacred Heart on Sunday. The final for the 2012 Challenge Cup that was scheduled for June 13 was cancelled due to

rain will also be played. The match, scheduled to be played at the Parkland Mall pitch, was postponed when a rain shower struck Yorkton shortly before kick off of the match between the two Yorkton U-10 sides. The tournament which was held in Regina and featured teams from Swift Current, Melfort, Regina, and Saskatoon, had a scheduled final in Regina but the YUFC club decided to play the final at home in Yorkton so the young players could play in front of their home fans and parents. The final will be played Sunday June 24 at one p.m. at the Parkland Mall pitch, admission is free and all spectators are welcome The Parkland Mall Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League also postponed their Sunday matches due to unplayable field conditions, rescheduling is to be announced...

Ruttigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rants Column Chase Ruttig Andres Iniesta goal that cemented Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in World Cup history and spurred debate over whether or not this generation of Spanish football was the best assembly of players of all time. Like Germany, Spain lived up to expectations during qualifying and entered the tournament with little fear of being eliminated, but did lose 2010 breakout star David Villa and the goalscorer in

the 2010 World Cup semifinal Carles Puyol due to injury. Now with both teams winning their respective groups during round robin play, the Germans and Spaniards find themselves once again as favorites on opposite sides of the draw heading into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterfinals. Germany has the easier path, getting Greece in the opening round and the winner of Portugal-Czech Republic

in the semi-final stage. Spain, however has the task of beating world power France in the quarterfinal and the winner of fellow international staples Italy/England in the semiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But Spain are the defending champions and should be expected to once again get the job done, leaving a loss as an upset to the soccer world if anything less than a finals appearance is achieved. So with two rounds of anything can happen football left, the potential of seeing the Spanish midfield of Xavi, David Silva, Iniesta, and Cesc Fabregas take on the solid German core of Schweinstager, Ozil, Podolski and striker Mario Gomez is one neutral fans are eagerly anticipating. The Germans have matured and grown since

their heartbreaks in 06, 08, and 2010 and the new faces of Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels make their defensive core much stronger than in past tournaments. Their nine points in the group stage have placed the target fully on their backs and are fully expected to make another run at glory. If anyone is to stop the beginning of a new dynasty in international football, it will be the squad that is currently known as the best. There is no guaranteeing that Germany-Spain III will be bestowed onto the international stage as upsets are abundant in the knockout stages, but one thing is for sure: by July 1 yet another compelling chapter will be added to the lore of the European Championship.

SHHS Athletes of the Month By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Sacred Heart High School recently awarded their Athletes of the Month for May, the female athlete of the month was Jenna Sahulka and the male recipient was Robert Okeny. Sahulka has been a multi-sport athlete at Sacred Heart for the past four years. On the soccer team she played the midfield position and her coach says she improved leaps and bounds every year. Jenna also competed on the track and field team and demonstrated a strong commitment to training throughout her four years with the Saints .Shaulka competed as a hurdler, sprinter and in long jump. This year she qualified for Provincials in hurdles where she advanced to the semifinals. Robert Okeny, the Cab Clothing Male Athlete of the Month, was a multi-sport athlete as well, who excelled in various ways and roles for the Saints. Okeny played on the Football team for the Saints as the kicker and special teams’ player where he led by example as well as being a key midfielder for the back to back provincial winning soccer team in the last two years of his career at Sacred. On the Basketball court he was a defensive specialist who was able to step up when key members of the

Bulldogs Lacrosse By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The Yorkton Bulldogs enjoyed the home crowd advantage this weekend, notching two hard fought wins against the Estevan Big Dogs and the Regina Riot. After some road woes due to being shorthanded in the player department, the Bulldogs took advantage of having their full roster and showed that they have potential to compete with the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League’s best with wins over the Big Dogs and the Riot, one of the league’s top teams. On Saturday the Bulldogs controlled the Big Dogs to a 11-5 victory that built momentum heading into their Sunday clash against the Riot. After two hard fought periods of lacrosse that saw the Bulldogs winning 8-2 the officials decided to call the game due to slippery, unsafe floors at the Kinsmen arena. Despite the cancellation Sunday’s win was a promising result for a Bulldogs team that was on the slide in recent weeks. The Bulldogs next game is June 23 as they host the Regina Rifles, game time is 6:30 p.m.

team were hurt. In track he placed second in javelin at the district meet. Okeny also placed third in the 100m at the ECS district meet and was a member of the East Central 4 x 100 relay team at the provincial meet. All of his coaches say Okeny was a real asset to the Sacred Heart Athletic teams. Okeny was known to always be dedicated to whatever sport he was playing.

SHHS ATHLETES OF THE MONTH Robert Okeny and Jenna Sahulka were presented by sponsors Aaron Kienle and Brennan Wiens of Cab Clothing.

Many of us love to renovate. A survey by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation found that 40 percent of households in 10 Canadian markets renovated their home. The same survey found that about three quarters of households used a contractor to do all, or at least some, of their renovations. Everyone has heard a construction/contractor horror story, either through a friend, family member or on a home improvement television program. Whether it is work not performed to code or customer specifications, projects taking longer than expected, or costs going way over budget, home renovations can be a stressful endeavour. “Spending thousands of dollars on your home is a big decision, so selecting the right contractor is an important step,” says Wayne Ross, an insurance expert at Aviva Canada. “And while stories of renovation headaches are frequent, there are thousands of reputable contractors out there. A little preparation beforehand will certainly ease the stress.” Ross offers these reno-

vation tips to ensure homeowners finish their summer renovation projects with better success: • Connect with previous customers: Ask your friends for referrals of contractors that they've used, especially on similar projects. Request additional referrals from possible candidates. • Look for consistency and permanence: The ideal service provider has a physical business office and address and has been in business for a number of years under the same name. • Do a legal check: Ensure contractors are licensed by your province and that they have insurance, meaning they are covered if they are injured during the project. • Notify your insurer: Contact your insurance broker to discuss if any of the renovations will require an adjustment to your home policy. By following these simple tips, you'll finish your summer renovation projects with success. More information is available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com. www.newscanada.com
