Close Cuts raises over $30,000 in 2015

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Brayden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer has been going for 18 years now, and in that time has expanded into something much bigger than just a head shaving event. While the event itself raised $30,450 for cancer research this year, the impact of Close Cuts now goes beyond that, raising money for local initiatives and programs as well.

Greg Ottenrbeit says that seeing the event grow in the community has been bittersweet, because cancer is still something that affects people’s lives, and there are always more families who are affected by cancer and want to get involved. He says that it speaks to the quality of people in the community that an event like Close Cuts can get people’s support and continue to do new things, and that as a result while it’s officially in memory of Brayden, it’s also in memory of everyone in the community who has been affected by cancer.

“It just reminds me how great a commu-

nity we have in Yorkton, and in the whole province really... It’s something that started out for us to support and remember our son that has grown into something that raises money for local initiatives and cancer research, but also supports people going through cancer, raises awareness, and has grown into something that has grown much bigger than we would have ever anticipated.”

All money raised through Close Cuts is targeted towards research Ottenbreit emphasizes.

The local initiatives fund has been a more recent part of the Close Cuts programming, using funds raised from events such as barbecues and taco in a bag sales to put towards things which benefit cancer patients on a local level. This year, one of the big projects that money will go to is two dedicated palliative care rooms at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. The goal is to have a comfortable, home-like but medically supervised environment for people in their final stages of life.

Landscape and Memory brings local artists

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is a community gallery, and one of the most popular shows it does each year showcases the community’s artists. Landscape and Memory 2015 is a chance to see the best

of the Yorkton arts community on display.

Don Stein, Executive Director of the Godfrey Dean, says that it’s another great year for the show, with over 40 artists and over 150 pieces on display. A big theme this year is painting, and Stein says that has been the

overwhelming majority of the work this year.

The show is an opportunity to support local artists, Stein says, from beginners to those who are more established. It has resulted in solo and group shows from past and current participants, but it’s also often the first time

an artist has shown, Stein noting that some of the people showing their work began with adult painting classes.

“It’s so important that we are relevant to the people in our community, they need to see themselves reflected in the programming and the content.”

Having an annual show for local artists can also be an end goal, Stein says, as it means people know it’s coming, know they have to get things ready for display and know they will be able to put their latest work out there.

One of the artists on display is Linda Henye

from Jedburgh, who says she always wanted to paint but “never had the guts to do it.” While too busy when she first moved to Canada in 1986, when her husband and herself ran a buffalo farm, when she and her husband Cont.’ on Page 2A

Student support for reading now available A provincial framework to support student success in reading is now in place and is available to teachers across the province.

Saskatchewan Reads was developed to improve student reading in the province as identified in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth and the Education Sector Strategic Plan.

“Reading is the key component in providing children with opportunities for a successful future,” Chinook School Division Director of Education and leader of the provincial reading initiative Liam ChooFoo said. “Through the hard work of our teachers and our Provincial Reading Team, I am convinced that we will surpass the targets that have been set. Our initial work has had a positive response throughout the sector and our preliminary student results are encouraging.”

Saskatchewan Reads provides guidance for

school divisions to build on their own reading initiatives to meet the needs of their unique student population. It provides practical supports for teachers to ensure their students are successful in achieving their reading goals.

“Having a provincial framework for reading, that builds on what school divisions are already doing, is an exciting next step toward improving student achievement in our province,” Saskatchewan School Boards Association President Connie Bailey said.

“This is a great example of how boards of education continue to lead and set the direction at the local level while working in partnership toward common goals for the success of all students.”

Saskatchewan Reads was developed by the Provincial Reading Team, which includes representatives from 11 school divisions, two First Nation education authorities, Métis

Nation Saskatchewan, the Conseil des écoles fransaskoises and the Ministry of Education.

Feedback was gathered from across the education sector and incorporated into the document.

“The Government of Saskatchewan would like to congratulate the committee on the work that is being done to improve reading proficiencies in our province,” Education Minister Don Morgan said. “With continued collaboration across the education sector, we will be successful in improving education outcomes and ultimately, putting our students first.”

In June 2013, the provincial baseline for reading levels showed that 65 per cent of Grade 3 students were at or above grade level. As of June 2014, the provincial percentage of students reading at grade level had increased to 70 per cent – a five per cent increase in the first year. The goal of the reading priority is for 80

Shop local every Saturday The Government of Saskatchewan would like to encourage all residents to support the proclamation to “buy local” the first Saturday of every month.

“We value the contribution of local businesses in communities across the province, and for that reason, want to encourage Saskatchewan residents to buy local,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “It’s a gesture of support for all those small businesses that work hard, create jobs and provide us with goods and services year-round.”

There are about 150,000 people employed in small business in Saskatchewan, which is about 30 per cent of the province’s

total labour force. A proclamation to celebrate the small business sector and the importance of buying local came into force on May 11 of this year.

“I would encourage

Saskatchewan residents to shop local every day, but particularly on the first Saturday of every month, beginning this week on June 6,” Harrison said.

Benefit increases will improve quality of life More than 13,000 individuals who experience significant and enduring disability will see an increase to the monthly benefit they receive through the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program. With this latest increase, which takes effect June 1, the Government of Saskatchewan is fulfilling its four year commitment to increase SAID benefits to help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.

“Our government is committed to ensuring that Saskatchewan is a province that leads the nation in quality of life for people with disabilities,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said.

“We are able to continue to increase benefits for those living with a disability because Saskatchewan remains

strong.

Our government also believes that the benefits of growth should provide everyone in our province with the opportunity to realize their full potential.”

The amount of benefit increase is based on family size and living arrangements, as follows: Single persons receiving care in a residential care setting (i.e., family home, personal care home, group home, approved private-service home, special care home or long term care facility), will receive an increase of up to $20 per month; Single persons or single parents who rent, own a home, or live in board and room accommodation, will receive an increase of up to $50 per month; and Couples with no children or two parent fam-

ilies who rent, own a home, or live in board and room accommodation, will receive an increase of up to $55 per month.

The 2015-16 Provincial Budget provides $200 million in funding toward the SAID program, which includes $5.7 million

for the benefit increase.

“The success of the SAID program is the result of members of the disability community working with Government on the design of the program,” SAID Program Implementation Advisory Team Chair

Merv Bender said.

“That’s why we will continue to work collaboratively on the future development of SAID.” The Government of Saskatchewan continues its commitment to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada for people with disabili-

ties to live. A Citizen Consultation Team has been working on a comprehensive Disability Strategy, expected to be released at the end of June.

More information about the Strategy can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/disabilitystrategy.

Taxpayers deserve better treatment Recent scandals involving expense claims by Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau, and Mac Harb could just be the tip of the iceberg.

We just don’t know, because federal politicians, including Senators and MPs, wrote the Access to Information Act so it doesn’t apply to themselves. And the Auditor General of Canada needs the permission of Senators and MPs to conduct an audit on Parliament Hill.

In May 2010 federal MPs blocked Auditor General Sheila Fraser’s request to examine how more than half-a-billion tax dollars are spent running Parliament each year. The last time an audit was conducted was nearly 20 years ago and taxpayers weren’t putting up with the lame-o-excuses politicians were dreaming up to avoid the scrutiny attached to almost every other dollar of federal government spending.

The CTF organized a petition and had taxpayers contact Parliament Hill en mass demanding the books be opened and MP expenses be posted online for all to see. On June 15, 2010 parliamentarians finally relented.

More incremental gains came in October 2010 when release of the Public Accounts broke out the spending of Members of Parliament into various categories. And, the Senate finally relented and they too agreed to open their books to the auditor.

Fast forward to 2013, and the Senate was up to its old tricks again, altering an audit report into Senator Mike Duffy’s improper expense claims.

The CTF will not rest until all federal lawmakers are subject to posting their expense receipts online for the public to see not unlike the Province of Alberta or the City of Toronto which are currently the gold-stand of transparency and accountability when it comes to disclosure of politicians’ expenses.

If the Senate and the House of Commons had come clean with taxpayers and the Auditor General back in 2010, instead of playing games, the latest Senate expense scandals could have been nipped in the bud. Instead, taxpayers are on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and some Senators are refusing to pay the money back.

Policy taking the wrong direction Policymakers have encumbered Canadians with superfluous and needlessly costly environmental regulations that do little to improve the environment, finds a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“From light bulb bans to plastic bag bans, governments across the country have implemented inefficient policies that put unnecessary constraints on Canadians’ personal choices,” said Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics at the University of Guelph and author of The Principle of Targeting in Energy and Environmental Policy.

The study champions the economic principle of ‘targeting’ which states that in order to minimize the cost of government intervention, regulations aimed at changing a specific aspect of the economy (such as pollution) should take the form of a single rule targeting only that particular aspect.

In other words, if a government wants to reduce the volume of air contaminants emanating from a power plant, they should (as they already do) regulate those contaminants directly in the form of caps on total allowable emissions from power plants.

Instead, policymakers are going beyond that: In addition to implementing targeted hard caps, they’ve implemented non-targeted polices that limit Canadians’ personal choices while having a negligible effect on the problem it purports to

solve.

For example, the federal government banned 100 watt incandescent light bulbs because they might be associated with slightly higher electricity consumption and hence, higher CO2 emissions, despite the fact the majority of electricity in Canada comes from non-emitting hydro-electric or nuclear generation. Similarly—in the name of reducing emissions—governments in Canada instituted household appliance standards and ethanol blending mandates.

“What is more efficient: to manipulate Canadians’ purchase decisions on thousands of products and appliances or to simply regulate the amount of emissions a power plant is allowed to release?”

McKitrick said.

“It’s obvious that the latter option is better and will achieve the target at a minimum possible cost while allowing people the freedom and convenience to manage their own consumer choices.”

The government of the day’s stated goal was to reduce air pollution emissions but this could have been done directly under conventional air quality legislation.

How would have a targeted policy differed?

“A targeted policy of CO2 offsets and conventional air pollution scrubbers would have achieved the same emission reductions as the Act sets out to but at about one-seventieth the cost,” McKitrick said.

High collision corridor still terrible one year on It marks a year since the high collision corridor was implemented to the east of Regina, and a similar amount of time since I called it a terrible idea in this very space. In that time, we have theoretically had the ability to adjust and find out for certain if the reduced speed limit makes sense. So after a year, has my own mind changed about the attempt at making this stretch of the Trans Canada more safe?

In reality, when I had written that column a year ago I had yet to drive the stretch of road in question, so I didn’t know that in reducing the speed limit the road was made into the most terrifying stretch of highway I have ever driven. I knew that, in theory, reducing the limit to 90km/h would not lead to people actually reducing their rate of travel, and even with hundreds of signs warning you we would still have people travelling 110km/h like they always have.

This makes the limit dangerous, because if you even attempt to follow the recommended speed limit your rear window will immediately be full of Ford F-150.

As someone who doesn’t want to pay a speeding ticket, I’m still trying to drive 90km/h on that stretch of road, so for a long stretch of highway I’m actually ignoring my own safety in order to not pay a fine, a single emergency in front of me would mean severe injury at a minimum.

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger The problem is the same as it has always been, it’s a stretch of road with a reduced speed limit which is also visibly wide open and relatively free of obstructions. As a result, that means we have drivers who don’t believe that the speed limit should be reduced from the rate of travel only a few kilometers down the road. The end result is that they simply do not obey the speed limit – it doesn’t make sense to them, so why should they? It is always more difficult to make people obey laws that they don’t understand or believe in, and that is plain to see when you travel down a road with a speed limit lower than anyone driving it actually agrees with. This is why nobody seems to obey the limit.

The reduced limit makes things more dangerous when you’re someone who isn’t a regular commuter and doesn’t know where the speed cameras are, and are trying to avoid a ticket. This means you’re fighting the flow of traffic, and that means you’re basically an obstruction on the roadway. People tailgate, there’s no real flow of traffic anymore, and in general it’s just a mess of a roadway. It’s a major accident waiting to happen, just because it has made traffic so much less predictable in that area. Some might suggest even heavier enforcement, but that area already has a heavy police presence and speed cameras, none of which have done anything to actually affect how people drive down the highway.

The high collision corridor is not a solution, it’s not working and about the only thing it’s actually doing is making me very reluctant to make a trip to Regina – while that does reduce traffic in some ways, it’s not really the solution that is best for anyone. The only way to make that stretch of road safer is to redesign it, use things like overpasses and better merging lanes to get the roadways safer. Reducing the speed limit isn’t making things safer, it’s making them absolutely terrifying, and I’m stunned that we haven’t seen a rash of rear-ending incidents caused by bunching traffic together.

Seniors deserve better treatment

Middle class worries are real

To the Editor: On the CEO’s tour every single health region identifies shortstaffing and quality of care issues in seniors care homes, despite two years of reports, evidence and devastating family stories that should have caused the government to take action.

And, the lazy and sanitized report is also riddled with, literally, sections cut-and-pasted from both other pages of the same report or even pages from last year’s report, often both.

After pressing from Health critic Danielle Chartier, the newest report stemming from health region CEO tours of long-term care

facilities was released last Wednesday.

“This report points directly to the Sask.

Party government’s failure to act on the seniors care crisis,” said Chartier. “Short staffing is epidemic, and it’s an underlying cause of the seniors care crisis.

This government needs to get its head out of the sand, stop denying the problem, stop relying on administration and consultants to fix the mess and start putting enough front-line staff on every shift.”

Containing even the same typos, virtually every facility report in the Saskatoon Health Region, for example, says each particular facility’s resident/family council meeting told the CEO “Residents want a

bath more than once/ week. Residents notice staff shortages and often have to wait up to 30 minutes after they ring their call bell.

Continent residents have soiled themselves because of it,” and, ironically, “Residents want to spend more time with staff – personalize the care.” Where did those phrases come from?

They are word-for-word reproductions of the 2013 report.

“Obviously, families who attended the Resident Family Council meeting throughout the region weren’t reading from a script,” said Chartier.

“So, we have to conclude that this CEO tour wasn’t taken seriously, and the residents and their families were

not actually listened to.”

“This government is phoning it in with a cutand-paste from yearand-a-half old reports.

We’re talking about a wide-spread seniors care problem that has caused neglect, loss of dignity and even the death of seniors. This lazy, dismissive, shortcut is disgusting.”

The 2013 report features quotes from residents the CEOs spoke to. There were none of those in this year’s report. Common issues, according to the CEOs, included lack of staff leading to a lack of baths, long waits for call bells to be answered and poor food quality.

NDP caucus

Food labelling to include non-GMO content To the Editor: What was unthinkable a few years ago is now happening. In an unprecedented move, the United States Department of Agriculture has established a voluntary program to label food products with non-GMO content.

Non-GMOs already exist in the marketplace, but none of them are sanctioned by the government. At the request of a global food company, whose name has not been disclosed, the USDA decided to act on growing pressure coming from interest groups and the public concerning this issue.

Through the development of GMOs, the biotechnology industry has provided better yields and increased efficiency to farmers; however, they have also neglected consumer education in the process. Public engagement with the seeds and traits industry, for example, was minimal at best. For decades, interest groups have capitalized on this significant information void, leveraged by consumer’s increasing appetite to know more about food systems in general.

Interest groups have generated content with self-funded research, well organized rallies and marches supported by social media, and highly influential public relation campaigns. This collective awakening about the

nature of food has taken many by surprise, including policymakers. The era in which the dumbing-down of food intelligence as the preferred method in risk communication is long gone.

In fairness, the public discourse on GMOs was rarely science-based, but this did not matter. Food is intertwined with culture, trends, tastes, traditions, emotions, and most importantly, relationships. The vital foundation to any good relationships is trust, and many consumers do not trust leading global seed companies. It is not because of the science of GMOs, but rather due to a lack of understanding about the technology itself and its associated risks.

GMO labelling was never about risk communication, food safety or public health; it was primarily about transparency. Some consumers do want GE-ingredient free food products, but the majority simply expect to know what they are buying either way. With trans fats, sodium, sugar and many other additives, the food industry have incorporated ingredients into food without consumer’s moral consent. As a result, consumer skepticism has only grown over the past few decades, and the food industry has taken notice, which is why it’s now making its move. It is only a matter of time before this effort

spills into Canada.

The introduction of labels is a positive addition to the conversation. They give the biotechnology industry reason to state its GMO case to the CEO’s of our food supply chain, the consumer.

For example, the non-browning apple Arctic, a genetically engineered product, will hit stores next year. It will be interesting to see how consumers react to a very proximate, physical GMO they can bring home. Consumers have the opportunity to make the food industry they deserve, and labels give them an opportunity to make informed decisions.

Food Corporations have built empires through a study of the economics of agriculture and food. What is now more influential than ever, however, is the politics of food. For some time, many corporations settled for a more or less apolitical position.

But now corporations have come to realize that they can be strong advocates for farmers, consumers and their communities, and still be profitable.

We still don’t know which mega-corporation requested the USDA to opt for a non-GMO labelling program. But one thing we can be sure of is that this undisclosed company clearly appreciates how potentially transformative food politics can be. www.troymedia.com

Healthcare priority for Canadians To the Editor: Canadians are looking for leadership from the federal government to build our national health care system, rather than tear it down, a new poll from Abacus Data, commissioned by the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions shows.

The poll, which was released June 2, by the CFNU during its biennial convention in Halifax, shows that as Canada’s population ages, the future of health care is increasing in importance to

voters, with 58 per cent of voting-age respondents now placing health care among their top three issues.

The survey revealed: Health care is more important to voters than taxes - 58 per cent of respondents said health care was among the top three issues that could determine how they vote, compared with 44 per cent who included taxes; Overwhelming numbers of Canadians trust nurses to know what patients need most, 77 per cent of respondents would consider sup-

porting a party that would set national standards for continuing care; Close to two thirds of respondents would support a political party committed to negotiating a new health agreement between Ottawa and the provinces and committed to annual funding increases.

“Canadians want to see federal leadership that builds, rather than limits, our health care system,” said CFNU president Linda Silas.

“We are challenging federal leaders to step up and demonstrate

their commitment to public funding and distribution of the health care services Canadians depend upon.

“There is no public service that matters more to people than health care services,” said pollster Bruce Anderson, chair of Abacus Data, which conducted the survey of 1,500 Canadians between May 4 and May 6, 2015.

The margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 per cent.

To the Editor: Last week ended with the bad news that Canada’s economy not only stalled through the whole First Quarter of this calendar year, it actually shrank -in each of January, February and March, as well as in the previous months of November and August.

Insecurity and uncertainty are real. Middle-class Canadians worry about sluggish incomes, the high cost of living, care-giving, learning and skills, their heavy household debts, diminishing employment prospects for themselves and their kids, and the increasing possibility that the younger generation may not be able to do as well as their parents did.

Most Canadians are also troubled about not having enough to live on when they retire. Will they even be able to retire at all?

Three-quarters of those working in the private sector do not have an employer-sponsored pension plan.

The typical 35-year-old today is able to save only about half of what their parents did at that age.

For those in their 50’s, two-thirds have less than $100,000 set aside to look after themselves. Onethird have no retirement savings at all.

All this adds up to a retirement income crisis.

And it’s coming at us fast. It warrants serious attention, not just bumper-sticker slogans and other gimmicks from a government that cannot seem to muster the wherewithal to tackle a real problem in a serious way.

Make no mistake, this is not just a crisis in social policy. It’s a major economic problem too. If we fail to come to grips with it, Canadians will pay dearly in years to come with soaring social safety-net costs and sharply reduced consumer spending power.

Since 2006, the Harper government’s approach to retirement security issues has missed the mark.

They “resolved the controversy” about Income Trusts by killing those investment tools altogether -- thus shrinking the savings accounts of about two million Canadians by some $25-billion. They are postponing the eligibility age for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. That will slash the retirement incomes of the most vulnerable low-income seniors by $32,000.

The Conservatives are counting on a plethora of voluntary savings options to ride to the rescue. But most of them are designed as tax avoidance tools for “high wealth households” and none of them have made an appreciable difference in easing the retirement insecurity crisis.

Most seriously, Stephen Harper has blocked each and every effort to work with provincial government partners on a comprehensive expansion of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). Indeed, he has long argued for the complete elimination of the plan.

The CPP is marking its 50th anniversary this year. Its creation was a great achievement for Lester Pearson’s government in 1965. But with changing demographics, by the 1990’s many people were questioning whether it could survive. ThenFinance Minister Paul Martin mustered the federal-provincial consensus and will-power to make the necessary changes (including CPP premium increases) to save and bolster the plan. It’s now actuarially sound and secure for at least the next 75 years.

Premiums paid into the CPP are not a tax. They don’t go into government coffers. They’re an independently managed investment in long term personal security. And here’s another key point -- all through that period when CPP premiums were last increased, private sector job creation remained robust. There was no discernible negative effect.

The CPP is a defined-benefit pension plan. With strong management and an exceptional return-oninvestment, it ranks with the best in the world. But its benefits are still too low. At maximum it pays out only about $1,000 a month. The average CPP monthly benefit is just under $640. That’s simply not enough.

The Government of Canada needs to respond on an urgent basis to the expressed will of provincial governments to find the best possible ways to upgrade the CPP in a comprehensive manner for all Canadians.

With a retirement income crisis at hand, Canadians expect their governments to work constructively together on real solutions.

CRA offers advice on fraudulent emails The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) warns all taxpayers to beware of telephone calls or emails that claim to be from the CRA but are not.

These are phishing and other fraudulent scams that could result in identity and financial theft.

People should be especially aware of phishing scams asking for information such as credit card, bank account, and passport numbers.

The CRA would never ask for this type information. Some of these scams ask for this personal

information directly, and others refer the taxpayer to a Web site resembling the CRA’s, where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information.

Taxpayers should not click on links included in these emails. Email scams may also contain embedded malicious software that can harm your computer and put your personal information at risk.

Examples of recent telephone scams involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into pre-paying

fictitious debt to the CRA. These calls should be ignored and reported to the RCMP (see contact information below).

Examples of recent email scams include notifications to taxpayers that they are entitled to a refund of a specific amount, or informing taxpayers that their tax assessment has been verified and they are eligible to receive a tax refund.

These emails often have CRA logos or internet links that appear official.

Recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke last ten years there has been a significant increase among younger people.

Strokes have increased by 24% among people in their 50’s and by 13% for people in their 60’s. New and alarming international research predicts that stroke rates among people 24-64 will double within the next 15 years.

What is a Stroke? A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a narrowed artery in the brain depriving the brain tissue beyond the clot of oxygen causing tissue death. A stroke can also be caused by a ruptured artery. A severe stroke can cause death or permanent brain damage

and disability. If you suspect a stroke time is of the essence, seek emergency medical help immediately.

Signs and Symptoms of a Stroke - The signs and symptoms of a stroke vary depending on what part of the brain is being affected. More often than not symptoms are only

Medals awarded to YRHS

A last minute cancellation in the Skills Canada National Championships this year has once again put Yorkton Regional High School at the top of the country in robotics.

Brock Chiasson, Brad Guenther, James Thiessen and Shawn Furber took the silver medal in the Saskatchewan competition in April, then put away their robot for the

year. A couple of days before nationals started in Saskatoon May 27, however, the Regina team that won provincials dropped out.

The YRHS team put their robot back together the day before the contest started and waded into the fray against some strong competition from Newfoundland and Labrador and Ontario.

At the end of the weekend, Saskatchewan was

left holding gold, Newfoundland and Labrador silver and Ontario bronze.

This is the third national championship in four years for YRHS robotics.

An extension to the Regional robotics program is Stem and Control Systems, which are used in such things as elevators and automatic doors.

Blake Chiasson and Matthew Breitkreuz won

silver at provincials, but the national result was not available at press time.

Other Yorktonites representing Saskatchewan in Saskatoon last weekend included Dustin Balabuck in Automotive Service, Paige Swan in Hairstyling and Sarah Kushniruk in Aesthetics. None of these students won medals at the national competition.

manifested on one side of the body. If you suspect a stroke think F.A.S.T: Facial droop - One side of the face doesn’t move as well as the other side.

Ask the affected individual to smile and watch the corners of his/her mouth.

Arm Drift – Have the person hold both arms out in front of him/her.

One arm may not be able to move or will drift back down unconsciously.

Speech – The person may slur words, use the incorrect words (act confused), or be unable to speak at all.

Time – Get medical help immediately. The earlier a stroke is treated the better the survival

and recovery outcome is for the casualty.

Take some time to honour Canadian veterans On Saturday, June 6, Royal Canadian Legions all across Canada will commemorate D-Day – a military term used to indicate the day a combat attack or operation is set to be initiated.

June 6, 1944, marks the 71st anniversary of the D-Day most familiar to Canadians – the Second World War’s renowned Battle of Normandy, one of Canada’s most significant and successful military engagements. The Government of Canada is proud to pay tribute to all who served in this battle, helping to turn

the tide of the Second World War and liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny.

On that June day long ago, 14,000 Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen – part of a company of nearly 150,000 Allied troops – stormed German defences along an 80 kilometre beachfront, code-named “Juno” in Normandy, France.

Against difficult odds, the Canadian troops advanced further than any of their allies, playing an integral role in the success of the D-Day landings. This victory,

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz however, came at great cost. German defences thickly punctuated the beach – booby-traps, machine guns, artillery and mines.

Canadians suffered more than a thousand casualties on D-Day alone, including over

three hundred deaths.

Nevertheless, our Canadian troops continued to play a monumental role in the months that followed.

A stronghold for Nazi forces, the Normandy campaign was a hardfought battle, and

Canadian troops played a key role in the offensives that would ultimately defeat Nazi forces and help bring an end to the war in Europe.

Our troops suffered the most casualties of any division in the British Army Group with more than 18,000 casualties including more than 5,000 Canadians giving their lives.

D-Day was a pivotal moment in history. The accomplishments of Canada’s Veterans during the Second World War are a source of great pride for Canada.

These Canadians coura-

geously and sacrificially fought to defend freedom, democracy and the rule of law – values that we continue to enjoy today.

Canada’s Veterans have served our country with great distinction, and our Conservative government is committed to giving each of them the support they need and deserve. We owe them for defending our rights and freedoms, and we are forever indebted to them for their sacrifices and accomplishments.

Lest we forget.

STARS lottery annual fundraiser launched

The STARS Saskatchewan Lottery has launched and two weeks into the campaign it is over 55 per cent sold!

The lottery is the air ambulance service’s single largest, annual fundraiser that directly supports the care and transportation of critically ill and injured patients across the province.

STARS president and CEO, Andrea Robertson says the Lottery is critical in sustaining its Saskatchewan operations. “Approximately 50 per cent of the operational funding for the Regina and Saskatoon bases comes from local supporters. Each and every person who buys a

STARS Saskatchewan Lottery ticket is helping patients in their greatest time of need,” she said.

“Our helicopters are more than an ambulance in the air,” says Robertson. “They are a sophisticated medical environment brought directly to the patient whether that’s at the side of a road or a small rural hospital.”

Since establishing operations in Saskatchewan in 2012, STARS has flown more than 2,200 missions across the province, from their two bases.

This year’s lottery offers 2,100 prizes worth more than $4.1 million,

including two grand prize homes built by D&S Homes. The two showhomes, one in Pilot Butte and one in Saskatoon, are each valued at $1.5 million retail. In addition to the two grand prize showhomes, this year’s STARS Lottery offers a spectacular early bird prize – a 2015 Ford F150 Platinum Crew Cab truck and a 2015 219 UU Caravelle Razor boat, plus trailer. The package is valued at $138,000 retail. The deadline to have tickets entered in to the early bird draw is July 2.

There are five outstanding vehicles, 12 vacations, a travel trail-

er as well as sports, adventure and outdoor prizes, home electronics and appliances, barbecues, mowers, snow blowers, cash, jewelry and two STARS helicopter rides for two. Buyers are eligible for all prize draws if tickets are purchased prior to the applicable deadlines.

Back again is the Lucky STARS 50/50.

Purchasers of STARS Lottery tickets will have the opportunity to win up to $800,000 by including Lucky STARS 50/50 tickets with their order.

Lottery ticket prices are a single ticket for $60, two for $100, six for $250 and 12 for $375. Tickets for the Lucky STARS

50/50 are only $10 each, five for $25 and 15 for $50.

Tickets are available by visiting www.starslotterysaskatchewan. ca or by calling 1-855449-2444.

Budget approved for Sunrise Health Region Y-N-R Staff

The Sunrise Regional Health Authority recently approved what is planned as a balanced operating budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year.

The budget consists of revenues totalling $221,180,657, with operating expenditures of $219,118,250, with $2,062,407 held for replacement reserves and repayment of mortgages and loans.

In terms of expenses Lorelei Stusek, VP of Corporate Services with the with Sunrise told the regular monthly meeting of the Board costs have been trimmed over the years.

“The cost curve has been trending down in general,” she said.

However, Stusek said there are pressures on that curve, including the fact there has been no new dollars from the province to offset the impact of inflation for the last three years.

The biggest cost within the region remains wages, with sick time and overtime pushing those costs higher.

Stusek said it was important to understand “how it impacts our bottom line,” adding that is why attendance targets are important to the Region’s bottom line.

Compensation costs continue to be the largest expenditure for the health region and account for 77 per cent of total costs.

In 2014-15, wage driven premium costs in the region were more than $3.35 million dollars. Wage driven premiums apply when employees are called in to work at times when higher rates of pay apply; such as, during consecutive weekends

worked, for after hour call backs, and when staff are working more than normal full time hours.

“The health and productivity of our workplace will continue to be essential to a balanced budget in 201516. Good health, healthy work-life balance and zero injuries is what we want for our employees,” said Sunrise Regional Health Authority Chairperson, Lawrence Chomos in a release. “We also need to ensure fiscal responsibility and sustainability.”

The region also has limited revenue sources, relying heavily on money which flows from the province.

Of the health region’s total operating revenue 89 per cent is provincially funded. The health region received a net provincial funding increase of $9.44 million. Out of this amount $7.74 million is to cover compensation increases for previously negotiated collective agreements, and compensation funding to be distributed to community based organizations.

Other revenue sources include; reciprocal billing fees for clients from other provinces and countries, third party charges, long term care, miscellaneous recoveries and

parking.

A new idea that is factored into the 201516 budget is the sale of advertising space on the fleet of leased vehicles used by health region employees during their workday. This idea is budgeted to generate $223,000 in revenue.

Plans to reduce expenditures in 201516 include review of organizational structures as vacancies occur, vacancy management, setting aggressive attendance management targets and reduction of call backs, no allocation for inflationary costs, and a less expensive process for regional on-boarding of newly hired employees.

“In order to keep costs down, we continue to tighten our belts with carefully managed spending and have become increasingly creative,” said Chomos.

“Each year the challenge is greater, as our options become fewer.”

Built into the budget is funding for work that was started last year to improve safety, quality and access for the people served by the health region.

The network of Telehealth sites in the region will be expanded. Work will continue on co-location of the Canora primary health care team and the Canora Collaborative

Police to focus on restrictions

Police will be watching for new drivers not following restrictions outlined in the Graduated Driver’s Licensing (GDL) and Motorcycle Graduated Driver’s Licensing (MGDL) programs throughout the month of June.

New and supervising drivers should know and follow the restrictions to stay safe. All new drivers, regardless of age, must successfully complete the applicable GDL program, before they graduate to an experienced licence.

The GDL programs help gradually move new drivers into higher risk driving situations with certain driving restrictions. Each program has three stages: Learner, Novice 1 and Novice 2.

New drivers must comply with the following restrictions in each stage of the GDL program: • no cellphone use while driving, not even hands-free; • the number of pas-

sengers is limited to the number of seatbelts; • cannot be a supervising driver for another driver in the GDL program; and • unable to obtain a commercial driver’s licence.

GDL drivers also have different passenger restrictions in each stage since distractions increase as the number of passengers increase.

The GDL programs don’t focus on age, they focus on experience.

“Practice is essential,” says Ken Claffey, Driver Education Manager, Saskatoon Public Schools. “The nine-month learner stage is not just to prepare the new driver to pass a road test – it’s to prepare them to be a safe driver and stay alive on the road.”

New last summer, the following restrictions were added to the MGDL program. All new motorcycle riders: • must wear protective gear; • must display a red learner ‘L’ or green nov-

ice ‘N’ placard; and • may be restricted to engine size.

There is zero drug and alcohol tolerance for new drivers, regardless of their age, in both the GDL and MGDL programs. Additional restrictions specific to each stage of the GDL and MGDL programs are outlined on SGI’s website.

Claffey recommends parents start instilling road safety habits at a very early age. “If they’re taught the rules of the road as young pedestrians and cyclists, those road safety habits can help them become a safer and more aware driver when they’re older.”

Do you have a new driver in the family? A lot has changed!

If you received your licence before 2005, you wouldn’t have gone through the GDL program. If you have a new driver in the family, you can help them move through the stages safely by putting them in the driver’s seat as

much as possible.

“As a supervising driver, your number one job is to pay attention to what’s happening and to coach and correct the new driver,” said Claffey. “They need to be prepared to handle any situation for when they no longer have you by their side. Are they ready to drive without you? Are you ready for that?

“Give your new driver as much seat time as possible when you are with them. The more they drive, the better they get. And remember, new drivers are impressionable and will pick up the supervising driver’s habits – whether they’re good or bad.

So hang up, buckle up and follow the rules of the road.”

Visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca for more information on the GDL program, MGDL program or for information about the Road Safety Challenge and how #wecandrivebetter.

Reduced services for audiology Audiology/Hearing Aid Program services in Yorkton will be reduced over the next 12 months to manage a leave of absence. The health regions regret that recruitment to the temporary vacancy was unsuccessful.

The Audiology/ Hearing Aid Program is operated by Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region and is provided in Yorkton at the Public Health Office with appointments coordinated by the Sunrise Health

Region.

People who are already on the hearing program wait list will see their positions maintained. Hearing program staff will contact those people when an appointment becomes available.

New clients seeking hearing tests or to order hearing aids can call the Public Health office in Yorkton at 306-7860647. Callers will be placed on the waiting list and prioritized, according to their needs, for the next available

appointment.

Drop-in assistance is not possible as there is no audiologist or technician on-hand except for scheduled days. Clients having issues with their hearing devices or requiring technical services are encouraged to phone for a scheduled appointment.

Residents who do not wish to wait for an appointment, or do not wish to be placed on the waiting list, can access services through the Regina clinic. Clients

can call 306 –766-7555.

Other service providers can be found in the Yellow Pages of the Yorkton and District SaskTel phone directory.

For more information, please contact the Audiology/Hearing Aid Program in Regina at (306) 766-7555.

Regina Qu’Appelle and Sunrise health regions thank people for their patience and understanding during this service reduction period.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, June 4, 2015 - Page 11A

More to dandelions than meets the eye Ed, my old neighbor and self-adopted cousin from Saskatchewan talked to me by Skype last week. My cousin is determined to keep in touch by Skype because it is free. He wanted to know how the crops were progressing around Chilliwack. I told him that the best crops that I can see here were the thriving dandelions. It is not just here in BC that they are flourishing, but everywhere from Melville, SK to Chilliwack, BC. I can report from our recent travels across Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia that the dandelions are thriving everywhere this year.

I spent many days travelling in the car, and the abundance of dandelions inspired me to propose an advance in farming for my cousin Ed. I told Ed that he needed to stop growing his regular crops on his farm. No more costly chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, no costly seed, or the expense of fuel for his tractor.

He can stop the input and let the dandelions take over his farm.

Dandelions are everbearing plants from spring to fall. He can use his spare time to develop a machine that will automatically pick the lovely yellow flowers and the narrow, deeply, lobed leaves.

Both flowers and leaves

Neighborly Advice According to Ed

by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com will grow back in a few days. The yellow flowers can become fine dandelion wine and the leaves into a fresh salad. Without the application of any costly spray to his farm, the dandelion wine and salads should boast an organic label, and sell for a higher price. I tried to get Ed to visualize himself as a famous winery owner of the first dandelion wine – winery in Saskatchewan.

He could lead tours through the dandelions and have wine tasting and salad sampling.

Ed didn’t like my idea for a new direction for his farm. He asked me if I had rocks in my head, or if I had whacked my head on a mountain at Chilliwack.

Ed did not want to hear that all parts of the dandelion plant can be eaten either cooked or raw. He did not care that the leaves are rich in potassium, antioxidants and vitamins A and C. If you read the second chapter of Isaiah, you find the prophet expressing his dislike

for God’s people of Judah and Jerusalem.

It seemed to the prophet that they were acting like they had rocks in their heads. When Isaiah looked over the land, it wasn’t an abundance of dandelions that he objected to but an abundance human pride in what the people had accumulated.

Times were prosperous because of a period of military success so that there was no end to horses and chariots from battles. There was no end to treasures of silver and gold from the spoils of victory. Sadly there was no end to the number of idols the people were worshipping. This idol worship meant people were bowing down to gods designed and made by human craftsmen as if they had no true and living God to worship.

The people were no longer walking in the light of the Lord, but in the pride of human accomplishments because times were prosperous.

Why do we forget our almighty and living God when times are good?

FCC provides funds for STARS operation On May 29, 2015 Farm Credit Canada (FCC) announced a $500,000 contribution over five years to STARS air ambulance, providing life-saving transportation to patients in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

“STARS provides critical care and transportation for rural residents who don’t have quick or easy access to health care in emergency situations,” said Michael Hoffort, FCC president and CEO. “One of the reasons FCC exists is to enhance the lives of farm families and rural Canadians, and STARS can make a huge difference when it matters most. We’re proud to lend a hand to this great cause.”

STARS air ambulance currently operates from three bases in Alberta, two in Saskatchewan and one in Manitoba. Since 1985, STARS has flown more than 29,000 missions from its six bases.

“STARS is pleased to be partnering with a long-standing organization, such as Farm Credit Canada. The organization’s goal of enhancing rural communities aligns perfectly with our mission of

providing critical care to rural patients in need,” said Andrea Robertson, STARS’ president and CEO. “We are indeed grateful for their generous donation.”

Garfield Beaudry is a beneficiary of STARS’ air ambulance service.

In 2012, he experienced a debilitating heart attack on his Raymorearea farm and was rushed to the Regina General Hospital by STARS. “I think of that day nearly every day of my life and I think of how fortunate I am,” Beaudry said. “When people get into any kind of problem and need immediate care and a speedy pick up, STARS is the helicopter that comes. I like to think of them as angels with red wings.”

FCC’s contribution will be spread evenly over STARS’ operations in the three Prairie provinces.

The funds will be used to help cover costs associated with medical and communication equipment, helicopter upgrades, as well as medical training.

STARS air ambulance provides specialized emergency medical care and transportation for critically ill and

injured patients. Their physicians, nurses, paramedics and pilots work with a team of dedicated support staff and community partners to save lives.

STARS has bases in Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.

FCC is Canada’s leading agriculture lender, with a healthy portfolio of more than $27 billion and 21 consecutive years of portfolio growth. FCC is strong and stable – committed to serving the industry through all cycles, and to being socially and environmentally responsible.

FCC provides financing, insurance, software, learning programs and other business services to producers, agribusinesses and agri-food operations. Employees understand agriculture and are committed to the success of customers and the industry.

With FCC in the market, producers benefit, agriculture benefits, rural Canada benefits and so do all Canadians.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, June 4, 2015 - Page 15A

On Sat. June 6, from 8-11 a.m. the Community Assoc. will have the spring Pancake Breakfast at the camp kitchen at Spilchen Meadows. $5 for adults, children under 5 free.

We also will be selling Community Assoc. memberships for $10 per family. Hope to see you there!

On Canada Day, July 1st there will be a potluck supper at the Camp Kitchen starting at 5 p.m. Please join us there.

Also on July 1 there will be Summer Market Days at the Good Spirit Resort Hall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free admission. Anyone who would like to book a table may call Cindy Madson at 306-6215926.

The Good Spirit Community Assoc. had its annual meeting on May 17 in conjunction with the Hamlet Informational meeting.

It was decided that all residents would receive the Theodore Free Press in their mailboxes, courtesy of the Hamlet Council of GSA to give residents news of upcoming events & other news.

A new member to the GSA Community Assoc. is a new resident, Kellyanne Ostafie. We need new members.

Retiring members are

Elaine Park, Linda Moore & Carol Olsen.

Present members are Lynn MacDonald, Charm Johnson, Richard & Jocelyn Winters & Kellyanne, as well as John MacDonald from the Hamlet Board. Please consider joining this group. We know that we have lots of volunteers to “help out” but we also need members on the executive.

The Hamlet Board is planning on improving the water flow within the community by increasing the size and/ or number of culverts on Capalano Drive and Bayhill Drive, hopefully during the month of June. The Board will make every effort to notify residents so that cars can be moved appropriately.

Once completed the Board will concentrate on improving the roads.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but this is neces-

Local Coverage Where You Work, Play & Live.

sary to avoid having to cut the roads as we have been forced to do in the past. Thank you for your cooperation.

There is a major concern about the number of very young drivers of golf carts, 4 wheelers and unlicensed motorcycles using the Hamlet streets as a playground.

In many cases there is no evidence of proper training or safety equipment. Motorcycles were

seen doing wheelies on one of our Hamlet streets. The real fear is that one of these underage drivers will get hurt or they may cause others to have accidents.

Parents should be reminded that if this should occur it is very likely that the parents or grandparents will be held responsible. Some of these vehicles are very noisy and violate the noise bylaw for the Hamlet. Please be reminded that we want everyone to be “quiet in and quiet out”.

It has also been noticed that a number of cars/trucks drivers seem to feel that once they hit the main Capalano Drive they can pick up speed and make noisy exits. Please consider driving slowly and with great care anywhere in the Hamlet. This will be a topic for the June meet-

ing of the Hamlet Board and all residents can expect to hear more on this subject.

Please be reminded that the blue recycling bins are to be used for paper and cardboard, cans, glass & plastic.

Please take the time to flatten the boxes before they are placed in the containers. ALL packing; Styrofoam and plastics HAVE to be removed and placed in the HOUSE HOLD BINS. Cans may be put in the “glass” blue bin and plastic bottles & milk jugs in the plastic bin.

Good Spirit Market will start summer hours on Friday, June 26 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. They tell me that they have lots of ice cream & BBQ meats!!

The biggest lie I tell myself is ... “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.”

ST. ALPHONSUS SCHOOL had the honor of hosting the Division Oratory this year on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 for Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division.

We’d like to thank the judges, Mr. Bob Maloney, Mayor for the City of Yorkton; Mrs. Shannon Hahn, Supervisor of Instruction & Learning; and Mr. Scott Fitzsimmons, Radio Spokesperson, The Rock, for volunteering their time. We’d also like to thank the students that participated from our division. Congratulations to the winners.
