Yorkton skate park moves closer to reality – Construction expected to finish in September By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
SHOVELS ARE IN THE GROUND on Brodie Ave. as the Yorkton Skate, Walking and Bike Park begins construction. The project, which received $150,000 from the Aviva Community Fund contest, is continuing to gain community support, and is expected to be completed in September of this year.
While it might look like dirt and sticks right now, the Yorkton Skate Park has taken an important step towards completion. Ground has been broken, with the hole that will soon become the bowl feature being the initial dig. Mayor James Wilson says that the project is one that has brought the community together and he’s looking forward to seeing it continue towards its eventual completion. “This project is beginning here, we’ll see it come to fruition in September. The youth have been talking about it for some time, and it gives the ability to create a healthy environment and participation in a walking, biking and skateboard park,” Wilson says. The storm catch basin on Brodie Ave has already been completed, Wilson notes, and the skate park and landscaping are the next steps. He says it’s a community project, and notes that it’s something people can get behind, whether it’s Diggers
Excavating which is donating their services, or people like Justin Yawney who is the chair of the Brodie Ave. Rehabilitation Project. Nathan Grayston, cochair of the Yorkton Skateboard Club, who has been with the project since the beginning, says that the first steps are exciting, especially watching the park get translated from plan to reality. “It’s really awesome to see it laid out, and see where all the features are going to be and actually see holes in the ground,” Grayston says. Grayston promises that the park will be well rounded, and have features that everyone can enjoy and which are appropriate for all skill levels. The process of finding that balance was difficult, but he says that it’s going to a world class facility that the skaters in the area have been waiting for since they first started. “We’re starting, it’s happening, it’s in progress, it’s going to be a reality this year,” Grayston concludes.

Yorkton’s newest hotel is coming closer to reality, as a framing out ceremony took place to celebrate the new construction. Home Inn and Suites, built in partnership between d3h Hotels and the Kahkewistahaw First Nation, will bring a new Home Inn and Suites hotel to the city. Sheldon Taypotat, Chief of the Kahkewistahaw First Nation, says the project has been in the works for a long time, and was developed in order to bring opportunities to people, both within Kahkewistahaw and the surrounding communities such as Yorkton. “It’s a dream come true in economic development,” Taypotat says. The hotel itself will be an 89 room operation, with a spa, pool complete with water slide and meeting facilities. Taypotat says that the facility will provide new jobs for the area and they plan

on working with SIGA to help bring tourist dollars to the city in partnership with the Painted Hand Casino. He believes that the close proximity to tourist attractions like the Painted Hand and the Gallagher Centre will be a big draw for people coming to the city. “This wasn’t decided overnight, this was decided five or six years ago, it’s been a long time coming... It’s going to create opportunities for jobs, it’s going to create revenue for us to start other business ventures, and it’s going to help the people of Yorkton as well,” Taypotat says. While it was the framing out ceremony, construction is already well underway. Taypotat explains that this was due to their desire to get construction underway as soon as possible, and that priority, combined with weather and other circumstances, meant that they were unable to do a regular ground-breaking.

FIRE FIGHTERS HONORED – Members of Yorkton Fire Protective Services were recognized for many years of service to the community with 20 year exemplary service medals and 30 year service bars. The medal has been awarded to fire fighters across the country. Honored this year were (l-r) Bob Tysowski, Brian Stranaghan, Barry Thies, Brian Belitsky, Toosh McBride, Greg Litvanyi, Bill Aitken, Brian Nielsen, Les Diakow, Lorne Oystrick, and Wayne McInnes. Litvanyi, who received the 20 year medal, says that the members are there because they love being fire fighters and helping people, but that it’s nice to be recognized for their service. “The citizens of Yorkton should be comforted by the fact that we have such a senior department,” Litvanyi adds.
Work Readiness Course for young workers DONATING TO HEALTH – BMO Bank of Montreal has gotten on board with the Health Foundation’s latest campaign, which is for a new ultrasound machine. Craig Mehling, Area Manager for Commercial Banking for BMO, (l) presents a cheque for $1,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation. Mehling says that BMO is proud to support the campaign for new equipment, which will reduce wait times for tests in the area.
Summer is fast approaching and the provincial government wants to remind youth in the province, 14 and 15 yearolds, who are interested in summer jobs, must complete Saskatchewan’s Young Worker Readiness Certificate Course (YWRCC) in order to work. The course teaches youth about their rights and responsibilities, hazards in the workplace and provides occupational health and safety infor-
mation. “This course is critical for helping youth to gain information that will enable them to safely engage in the workplace,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan comments. “Youth and new workers experience higher rates of injuries, so we want to make sure they have the opportunity to learn about health and safety practices.” The course can be taken
online at www.lrws.gov. sk.ca/ywrcc. Fourteen and 15 year olds working in the province must complete the course under Saskatchewan’s Minimum Wage Regulations. Young workers under the age of 16 must also obtain consent from their parent
or guardian. Since the 2010 launch of the online certificate course, 10,274 Young Workers Employment Certificates have been issued. The online course is currently being updated to enhance its interactivity and usability.

JDRF WALK – Every year, people walk and raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, hoping to raise money to cure and otherwise minimize the effects of Type 1 Diabetes. This year’s event saw a total of 52 walkers raise a total $13,406. Pictured above is Youth Ambassador Aaron Armstrong Stewart (left) who hopes for a cure so herself and other children no longer have to deal with daily needles.
Taypotat explains that they still want to celebrate the new build, and the framing ceremony was the best way to do so. The hotel is being built with d3h hotels, and Taypotat says the partnership has been a positive one from the beginning, and he has learned a lot about building a hotel from the company. “We wanted to work with someone who knew about hotels and construction. D3h has a number of hotels across the country so they’ve agreed to work with us and help us build,” Taypotat says. It has taken a great deal of hard work to get to this stage, Taypotat says, and he’s proud of everyone who has worked towards the goal of a new hotel. “I’m very proud of my membership and I’m very proud of the hotel that’s going up, it’s going to make many opportunities for people,” Taypotat concludes. The construction is expected to be complete in December, with the first customers greeted in 2013.

Revisiting Canada’s Employment Insurance program Our government’s top priority is keeping our country prosperous for the long term. That means creating jobs and growing the economy. As never before, Canada is experiencing a serious labour shortage. But in a strange disconnect, analyses of employment data in many regions of the country demonstrate that Canadians in those regions, with the right skills to fill jobs vacancies, are unemployed and collecting Employment Insurance – and that many employers are resorting to importing temporary foreign workers. The Employment Insurance program is Canada’s largest labour market program. It plays an important role in helping workers adjust to labour market changes and balancing work and family responsibilities. But the program is in need of modifications to help workers get back to work quickly. The government has proposed changes to the regulations governing the Employment Insurance Act. The changes are creative, decisive and filled with common sense and reason. As always, the best interests of Canadians and the Canadian economy are at the forefront. EI was never meant to be a permanent source of income for the unemployed. The benefits, paid both by the employer and the employee, have always
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz been a mere stop-gap while work is being sought. The proposed changes will clarify for Canadians what their responsibilities are while collecting Employment Insurance. Being out of work is distressing. The longer one is unemployed, the less confident and motivated that person becomes. Despite EI regulations stating that Canadians on EI must actively look for work while receiving the benefit, many people either feel unable or are uncertain how to connect with available jobs in their skill set. These regulation changes are designed to garner more confidence in unemployed people, and to get more Canadian jobs to Canadians. Each EI recipient
will receive better alerting of jobs in their field, not only in their immediate area, but across Canada. This is not to suggest that they must take those jobs; merely to make them aware of the possibilities and pay scales in other regions. Under the current regulations, should an unemployed person earn some income while unemployed, 100 per cent of matching benefits are clawed back. Under the proposed regulations, they will be permitted to keep more, giving more incentive – and more income. Rather than forcing people to take jobs outside of their locale or skill set, as the Official Opposition has suggested, the new regulations, once passed, will connect Canadians with available jobs in their own area; jobs appropriate to their qualifications. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis – considering a claimant’s past history of receiving EI, among other things. The proposed changes, which will not take effect until 2013, are designed to be fair, flexible, and responsive to the needs of today’s changing labour force, and those of Canadian families.

June is recreation month
FEEDING KIDS – The Yorkton Lions club renewed its commitment to the breakfast program at Dr. Brass school. The group has been a part of the last five years of the program, and will continue to help into the future. This year, they are contributing $1,500, which provides breakfast to kids in the school. Pictured above, Peter Legebokoff, Lions President (l) and Michael Liknaitzky, Secretary Treasurer, present Dianna Kozak of Dr. Brass with the cheque. Kozak says that the program feeds about 40 students daily, and it makes a large difference in their life. She says that for some of the kids this is their only chance for a healthy breakfast, and it makes a world of difference in the classroom, as kids who aren’t hungry have an easier time learning and growing. She thanks the Lions for their continued support.

June is Parks and Recreation Month in the City of Yorkton. The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA), along with the city, other national and provincial parks and recreation associations is promoting the month in an effort to acknowledge the contributions recreation activities, facilities and parks make to the quality of life in the province. “Each year recreation services and parks throughout the country utilize June to celebrate the return of summer programming, to gather their communities together, recognize volunteers, get residents involved in fun outdoor physical activities and gain support for parks and recreation sectors,” says Lisa Washington, Yorkton’s Community Development Manager. “In addition to the many events and programs provided through community development, parks and recreation, there are numerous community based, non-
profit organizations that dedicate countless hours of volunteer time to provide sport, culture and recreation programs in our community.” Upcoming Yorkton events include: • Heritage Heights Park Party, June 20; • Youth Sport & Swim Night, June 29 at the Gallagher Centre; • Knights of Columbus Park party, July 11; • Yorkton In Bloom, July 20 (entry deadline); • Shaw Park Party, August 1; • Yorkton In Bloom Garden Tour. August 2; • City Wide Registration Night, September 5, Gallagher Centre Flexihall. “There are many benefits to participating in physical activity and recreation pursuits. Recreation provides personal, economic, social and ecological benefits to our people, our communities and our province,” concludes Washington.

A tribute to the best of the best It’s an honor that’s been bestowed upon more than 180 Saskatchewan residents since the inception of the concept in 1985 and now it’s your chance to be involved in the 2012 selection process. Saskatchewan residents have until July 5 to nominate individuals for the province’s highest honour, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. The Order of Merit recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the well-being of the province and its residents. “We are fortunate to live in a province that is home to so many innovative and capable people, many of whom have led the nation and even the world in their respective fields,” Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield says. “I encourage everyone to consider nominating a worthy individual to be recognized by our province’s highest honour, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, so that we can pay tribute to our brightest and best.” And so we should. These are the very people that make up the fabric of the province and without them it may be a very different place. The fields of endeavour recognized include: arts, agriculture, business and industry, community leadership, occupations or professions, public service, research, sport and recreation and community service. Any Saskatchewan resident, or former resident, is eligible for nomination with the exception of presently serving members of Parliament or the Legislature and members of the judiciary. Nominations are accepted for individuals only, not for couples, groups or organizations. Posthumous nominations are accepted within one year of the date of the person’s death.

EI EI Ohhhhhh... good move feds! The way I see it...
Coming from someone who has worked through school and everyday forward, someone who has only collected EI once in her life – and only for about two weeks at that time – I for one, think this is a good plan for Canada. The federal government recently announced EI (Employment Insurance) reform is on the horizon and I say it’s about time. Under the proposed reforms – which are expected to take effect early 2013 – the government’s definition for suitable employment will be based on six criteria: personal circumstances, working conditions, hours of work, commuting time, type of work and hourly wage. The government will also create an enhanced job alert system that will email claimants twice a day with the latest career listings for their area of work from various job boards and other sources. Canadians receiving employment insurance benefits could also be forced to commute up to an hour to their workplace and accept jobs with wages ranging between 70 and 90 per cent of their previous income. If taxpayers like myself who are in the workforce didn’t see so much abuse of the system then maybe I
wouldn’t feel the way I do about this topic, but the fact is, abuse exists – big time. There are people all over the country who not only plan on unemployment, the seem to revel in it. They’re not out looking for jobs, they’re kicking collecting a free payShannon Deveau back check and enjoying the down time. With that said, THIS ISN’T APPLICABLE EVERYONE who collects EI, I want to be clear about that. Some people legitimately need the assistance and it’s not these people I’m referring to. It’s the ones who have zero intention of looking for a job, the ones who wouldn’t dream of “lowering themselves” to do something they feel is beneath them. It’s those who are living it up at our expense while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet – some working two and three jobs to put food on the table and pay the bills. It really just isn’t fair and if reform is what it takes to change the situation around, then I say good move. It’s about time. Government programs should be in place for the people who need them, not for able bodied blood suckers who are too lazy to help themselves. It’s time to cut back on needless spending and start putting dollars where they’re really needed.
Column
Living with a crime is the greater punishment Every time a particularly grotesque murder happens, someone asks whether or not Canada was right to abolish the death penalty. When a high profile case appears, one where the accused has left behind a mountain of physical and video evidence, it is difficult for some people to accept just life in prison, as though a life locked away from the rest of the world is not enough punishment for the crime. While sympathetic to the people who can’t understand how a brutal murder can live, especially the families of the victims, even the most violent and bizarre case can shake my view that keeping executions out of Canada is a good thing. To be honest, the recent case of Luka Magnotta’s murder of Jun Lin is about the closest I have been to having this conviction shaken. This is a criminal who filmed his crime, and mailed his victim to political parties. He was even caught looking himself up online to read about it. Yes, the world would be a better place without Magnotta in it, and it’s difficult to find a reason to keep him alive for the foreseeable future. That is just one man, however, and one man who does not represent the majority of criminals convicted of murder. Fortunately, that kind of person is a rare case, and while the case is disturbing enough to make one’s position waver, one must remember why they
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger came to the conclusion they did so many years ago, and why they continue to believe that capital punishment should not return to Canada. The short answer is that it’s not a real solution. In the United States, where it is still practiced, there is still significantly more violent crime than in Canada. If it worked, it should come with a reduced amount of criminals in the prison system, after all people would be afraid of dying. Instead, that’s not the case, and it even costs more to execute a prisoner than it does to just store them in jail until they die. In that case, we come back to the real reason people support the punishment, and that’s simple revenge.
In this case, death is possibly the greatest punishment for Magnotta, because his actions indicate someone who shows no remorse for his actions and someone who enjoys the attention his crime is affording him. Which is why he can make me reconsider my stance, since otherwise my very human need for revenge can be sated by regular imprisonment. For the majority of criminals a long life in prison is actually a much greater punishment than being killed, because they have to wake up every day remembering why they’re in prison, and what they did to deserve being there. There’s no easy way out, and if they feel even a touch of remorse it’s going to be a difficult life. The other side of me, the one that doesn’t want the criminal punished, sees other reasons why capital punishment doesn’t work, and why it shouldn’t be brought back. But objectivity is often discarded in this debate, so I will have to indulge more base instincts to get on the same level as those who want capital punishment to return. Doing so, I view it as a way out, a method of denying the criminal years where they should be suffering for their crime, a suffering that is mostly mental and cannot go away as long as they’re alive. I’m not proud of this, but nobody should be proud of their need for revenge, even if it’s something that everyone shares.

Your letter of the Week
Europe beats Canada on property rights
Always nice to see an old friend
To the Editor: Many people often look to Europe as an example of what Aristotle called the good life – think of their pleasant cities and obvious regard for art and history. But here’s something else Canadians can learn from Europe: how many governments there are much better at balancing the rights of private property owners with regulations that restrict property and lessen its value. Some background: when a government (anywhere) uses regulation to partly or wholly freeze property – by requiring a setback or declaring a plot of land ecologically sensitive – some label it a “regulatory taking.” Others call it a “de facto expropriation.” Literally, a government “takes” or controls your property through regulation (laws and bylaws) but technically, you still own it. Of course, the effect of such regulation in extreme cases is little different from actual expropriation: you can’t use your property or profit from it. Except that when governments actually expropriate private property, wellestablished common law principles, sympathetic legislation, and Canada’s courts all combine to usually give property owners at least some compensation in exchange. But it’s a far different scenario when regulation is in play. When a Canadian government or bureaucracy decides your property must serve some public purpose, and then uses a law or regulation to wholly or partly freeze your property, you’re lucky to get a single dime in compensation. For example, in Vancouver in 2000, the City told the Canadian Pacific Railway that a 22-kilometre long stretch of CPR land was henceforth to be a public thoroughfare for bikes and pedestrians. The city was clear that no compensation would ever be paid. Neither would the City expropriate it (which would have triggered compensation statutes). Six years later, the Su-
preme Court of Canada endorsed what was effectively a land grab without compensation. Here’s another example. In 2005, the Ontario government created a “greenbelt” around Greater Toronto, freezing 1.8 million acres of land from development, only permitting prior usage to continue. The provincial government made clear that no compensation would be offered for the severe restrictions on use, or the decline in value for individual parcels of private property.
“When a Canadian government or bureaucracy decides your property must serve some public purpose, and then uses a law or regulation to... freeze your property, you’re lucky to get a single dime...” In any country with tens of millions of people, some regulation is a reality. But Sweden, Finland, Germany, Holland and others treat private property owners much more fairly, providing compensation for the effect of regulation on property values. European governments are keenly aware of the need to plan with the rights of property owners in mind. In Germany, rights of property ownership are guaranteed in the “Basic Law” (Germany’s constitution), meaning that financial damages caused by lawful planning decisions will guarantee compensation for the property owner. Germany’s leading scholar on the subject, Gerd SchmidtEisenstaedt, writes that compensation is forthcoming in such cases because “In German legal doctrine, it is irrelevant whether
liability for damages is caused by an expropriation decision... or by a regulation that restricts property rights. In the end, they are always a form of property restriction...” When new government regulations in Finland prevented owners of a forest from cutting down trees for their forestry business, the forest’s owners were fully compensated for the four per cent decline in the value of their property. Similarly, in the Netherlands, compensation is also owed to the property owner due to restricted use. And here’s a unique twist: in Sweden and Germany, if government regulations freeze your private property for too long, you can legally demand the government buy it – as opposed to watching government just regulate your property into disuse. A government’s go-slow approach to ending a regulatory “freeze” on private property triggers a right to expropriation, and to again quote Schmidt-Eisenstaedt on Germany, “the municipality cannot avoid paying compensation.” Does the European approach to private property regulation work? Yes, as Israeli academic Rachelle Alterman writes in her 13-country survey (which includes Canada as an example to avoid), “the German planning law provides clear answers to almost every conceivable situation where an injury to property values may arise.” As Alterman notes, “the balance struck is widely accepted.” Some level of regulation is inevitable and there is nothing wrong or undesirable in wanting pedestrian and bike paths, or in protecting fragile environments. The glaring problem is in how Canadian governments can freeze and devalue private property through regulation – and rarely provide compensation to the property owner. We could learn a lot from Europe. Mark Milke, Troy Media Corporation.
Disappointed at DND cuts to health research To the Editor: At the same time that DND has admitted that the numbers of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces have risen, how is it possible that the department is eliminating the jobs of medical professionals involved in suicide prevention and monitoring of post-traumatic stress disorders? They are actually reducing the number of epidemiologists and researchers who analyze mental health issues. This government has
previously asserted that dealing with such health issues is a priority. How can the government announce on the one hand that it appreciates the sacrifices made by our veterans and then turn around and cut the services and research efforts needed to treat those same men and women, at a time when they need it most? The Legion is extremely concerned with this move, especially with the increase of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces. The full extent of the cases
of mental illness, arising from the heavy operational tempo in the Balkans and Afghanistan, has not likely been felt yet. The government and Canadians have sent these men and women to deploy and serve in these missions abroad and therefore have a moral obligation to ensure they are properly cared for once they return. The announced cuts give the government a failing grade. Without operational research in this area, Canada will be forced to
resort to reactive treatment while abandoning the proactive education and prevention of mental illness to our troops. It is unacceptable that these cuts are made on the backs of our most vulnerable. There is no better way to demonstrate their commitment to support those who serve their country than by not making these cuts. Patricia (Pat) Varga, Dominion President of The Royal Canadian Legion.
The NDP just doesn’t understand Saskatchewan To the Editor: Thomas Mulcair is yet again attempting to divide Canadians with his stance against Alberta and Saskatchewan’s oil sands. What Mr. Mulcair fails to realize is that responsible resource development benefits the entire country. Mr. Mulcair wrongly blames the western Canadian oil sands for the rising dollar and challenges in Canada’s manufacturing sector. The NDP would prefer imposing a carbon tax that would decimate our agriculture and resource sectors. Responsible resource development is vital to our national economy dur-
ing the global financial storm. The oil sands create billions of dollars in economic growth and hundreds of thousands of high quality jobs throughout the country. A recent Canadian Energy Research Institute study showed that the oilsands will create $63 billion in economic spinoff’s and 65,000 jobs in Ontario alone over 25 years. While the NDP would rather pit the West against the East, our government is working on behalf of all Canadians. While the NDP continues a war on the oilsands and our economy, our government will continue to focus on jobs and economic growth.
It’s obvious that the NDP doesn’t understand the needs of Western Canadians. After all, how could they? They were widely rejected in the last election when Western Canadians sent a strong, stable, national, majority Conservative government to represent them in Ottawa. Saskatchewanians can be assured that, unlike the NDP, their Conservative Members of Parliament will remain focused on creating jobs, driving economic growth and long term prosperity. Gerry Ritz, Agriculture Minister and Senior Minister for Saskatchewan.
To the Editor:
It was getting late, but I pulled into the Safeway parking lot on my way home. My son had a hankering for some fake cheese, and Safeway was having a sale on Cheez Whiz. It was almost closing time, so I was going to rush in and out of the store. But as I walked toward the entrance, I saw someone familiar sitting on the bench just inside the door. It was a guy, bent forward with his head in his hands and his elbows resting on his knees. Maybe he wasn’t feeling well, was emotional, or had a little too much to drink. He looked like my old friend Kevin. Back when I was a teenager and living with my auntie and her family, Kevin lived next door. My cousin Crystal and I became friends with Kevin and his big sister, Deanna. Kevin was always laid back – even then, nothing seemed to get him down. Kevin’s parents were from a nearby reserve but I think they hardly ever went back. As I made my way into the store, I made a beeline to the guy on the bench. I wondered if he would even recognize me if it was him? “Kevin?” I asked. He lifted his head and smiled widely. “CC!” Kevin said loudly, calling me by my nickname. Then he jumped off the bench and gave me a hug right in the middle of the store. Well, Kevin was half in the bag. He smelled faintly like the after-effects of a recent party. But I didn’t mind – old friends like Kevin are like family. Maybe you don’t see childhood friends for years, but when you do, it’s just like old times again. Seeing Kevin made me happy. It kind of made me feel young, I guess. Back when we were goofy kids in the North End, living just a few blocks away from where we were standing, life was a lot simpler. He was gangly back then, and mostly still looks the same. But there have been a lot of changes too. Kevin is a dad now – and a grandpa to two babies. He was waiting for a cab that he had called earlier but it was taking a long time. He offered me money to take him home, but I shrugged it off. I had to get home quick, but I’d give him a ride no problem. I ran off to get my Cheez Whiz while Kevin waited. I sure was happy that the store let my old friend sit inside to wait for his cab. A lot of places might not have even let him in the door. They might be rude – or worse, call the police. Some people who walked by Kevin that night might have seen a slightly drunk aboriginal guy. I saw a few people looking at us while we hugged and talked too loud in the store. Let them look. Maybe some people were even scared of Kevin, but I wasn’t. I was scared for him. He was a friend who needed help. Sometimes people in his condition get hurt wandering around late at night. I finished my shopping and took Kevin to my house, where a cranky baby was up waiting for me. Despite his rumpled appearance, I introduced him to my kids. Then he was chauffeured home. Maybe we’ll cross paths again soon; it sure was nice to see an old friend. Colleen Simard, Winnipeg, MB.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, June 7, 2012 - Page 7A
The farmer is trained and moves on: Part 8 Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the eighth of a series on the move from farm to Hazel Dell. When I woke up one morning recently, I met my wife in the kitchen. She looked like she had been dragged through a knothole backwards. “I didn’t have a good sleep last night,” she complained. “A beeping noise at 3:00 a.m. woke me up,” she continued, and then proceeded to tell me that she thought it was the freezer alarm in the basement. She lay in bed waiting for half an hour, while wondering if the monster in the basement was trying to lure her downstairs at 3:00 a.m.! At 3:30 a.m. she couldn’t stand the beeping any more, and went to the top of the basement stairs. She stood there wondering if while she would be trying silently to creep down the stairs, a cold and clammy hand would reach through the stairs and grab her ankle! She made a mental note to herself to nail wood backing onto the stair treads during daylight hours when the monster would be hiding and at sleep. “Ha!” she thought when she heard the beep again, and this time it was definitely coming from the kitchen! “Great!” she thought again, as she did not have to put even one foot on the top stair to the basement! She went into the kitchen and saw the oven light that said “END,” meaning that the oven had been on a timed plan and was now done. She cautiously opened the oven door, and the oven chamber was warm, but there was nothing in there. It was not clean, so she knew that I would not have programmed the self-cleaning system to work while we were sleeping. She cleared the display and the beeping stopped. My wife went back to bed trying to sleep, while planning the application of the basement stair back stop. She also remembered a time in Edmonton many years ago. The house that she was living in had a strange energy. Sometimes her dog would jump up and bark at the wall, and there would be no one there! She actually watched her steel frying pan that was on the stove top starting to vibrate, but the burner was not on. Then the handle on the frying pan started to arch downwards, and then as suddenly as it had started, it stopped. We still have that frying pan with the arched handle! The next day she was sharing her nightly expe-

rience with the clerks at work, and the office manager told her that it was probably Stella, who had lived at the Ponderosa (our home) for many years until succumbing to cancer. My wife was told several stories about Stella. While she lived here, she also owned the Hazel Dell general store,
and haunts that place regularly according to Laurie Dunbar the present owner. My wife is contemplating getting a hold of a legitimate Ghost Buster to ensure that we will not be disturbed in the middle of the night. My wife also heard another story that Stella’s husband did not believe
in banks and buried his money in the ground. Well, apparently his heirs dug around, but never did find the treasure. So you can bet that when Jared the electrician is trenching for the placement of underground wiring, we will be looking over his shoulder! My wife’s experience

reminded me about the following story. A young man was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark and stormy night. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car coming slowly towards him and stopped. Desperate for shelter
and without thinking about it, the young man got in the car and closed the door, just to realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel and the engine was not running! The car started moving slowly. Continued on Page 9.

Making the perfect homemade burger As part two of a series of three columns on perfecting homemade burgers, this one will focus on ingredients to add to the hamburger mix, and the next column will be on burger toppings and bread selection. If you missed my previous column on meat selection, please email me at dez@chefdez.com and I will be more than happy to send it to you. There are literally countless ingredients one can add to their hamburger mix to create a flavorful burger patty, and trying to cover all of them in a single food column would be next to impossible. Therefore I will focus on some general tips and a handful of unique ideas for you. Firstly, please understand that the burger patty itself should be flavorful and don’t rely on just the toppings to make it taste good. If it doesn’t taste good on its own, you are not done making the burger patty yet. Let your pantry and spice rack be your guide. Think of the type of burger you would like to create based on what you have on hand. Maybe you would like to create an Italian burger? Then use herbs such as basil and oregano and add lots of garlic. An Asian type burger would be better suited with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and maybe some Chinese 5-spice powder. A Southern Louisiana type burger may come together with some cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, and a flavorful paprika. A Greek burger could be made with oregano, rosemary, tons of garlic, and maybe some crumbled feta cheese.
Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com Cheeses are a great way to not only introduce flavor but also to add moisture. A dry burger patty is not very palatable. Sometimes I will also include a chunk of melt-able cheese in the middle of each patty, like mozzarella, for a hidden cheesy center. Also, keep in mind the salt content of the cheeses you select; salt and pepper to your burger mix is crucial, but you don’t want it to be overly salty. Bread crumbs are not always necessary to make a good burger, and with the number of gluten intolerant people seemingly on the rise, this is more important to know than ever. Bread crumbs act as a good binder to help hold the burger together by giving it some stability, but bread crumbs also tend to dry out the burger as well. Some of my best burger creations were created without any bread crumbs at all and just relying on eggs to hold the patties together when cooking. Keep in mind that the number of wet ingredients one is adding to the mix must then be kept to a minimum as there will be no crumbs to soak up the excess moisture. Celiacs can then enjoy their burger patty served in a lettuce cup, which I also find is a refreshing change from the regular burger bun. Probably the best tip I can share when cooking red meat is to add a small amount of dark berry jam, like blueberry jam or blackberry jam to your raw hamburger mix. The dark full-bodied flavor of the jam compliments the full-bodied flavor of red meat very
well. This is a trick I have used many times when creating such red meat dishes as meat loaf, tomato meat sauce, and burgers. An approximation of 2 measured tablespoons of dark berry jam to each pound of red meat should result in a complimentary effect. My last suggestion is to simply be resourceful. Armed with a knife and a cutting board, a look in the refrigerator may uncover such hidden gems to add to the mix such as pickles, hot peppers, capers, anchovies, olives, sundried tomatoes, celery, and bell peppers for example. Let your imagination run wild and you may become famous for your creation. Dear Chef Dez: My homemade burger patties always taste bland or at least never have as much flavor as I expect there should be. Any tips? Greg P. Penticton, BC Dear Greg: When creating a burger patty from scratch it is always good to taste it before all the patties are formed and cooked off. This way you have a chance to adjust the seasonings before they are served. I am not suggesting you eat the raw meat. Instead take a small meatball sized amount of the raw mixture, flatten it into a miniature patty and cook it thoroughly in a small pan. This will give you an opportunity to taste, and adjust any ingredients and seasonings before proceeding to the grill. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez. com or P.O.

The young man looked at the road and saw a curve approaching. Scared he started to pray, begging for his life! Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the driver side window and turned the steering wheel. The young man now paralyzed with fright, watched how the hand appeared every time he came to a curve. The young man saw the neon lights of a bar down the road.

Gathering strength and resolve that he didn’t know he had, he jumped out of the car and ran to the bar! Wet and out of breath he rushed inside and ordered a double shot of rye whiskey. He then proceeded to slightly incoherently tell
everybody about the scary and horrible experience he had just lived through. A silence enveloped everybody as they realized that the young man wasn’t drunk, but crying. About 15 minutes later two guys walked into the same bar.
They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing the young man sobbing, one guy nudged the other and said: “Look Bruce, there’s that idiot who got into the car while we were pushing it!”

YORKTON CARDINALS have mound meeting in a 2-1 loss to the Regina Red Sox during Saturday’s WMBL home opener clash. By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The good news from the Yorkton Cardinals opening weekend: they can pitch, keeping the scores low in three out of four games. The bad news: there might not be much run support this year. After winning their opening game 8-5 in Melville, the Cardinals dropped all three of their games in their homestand. With a 2-1 loss to the Regina Red Sox, a 3-1 loss to Melville and a 6-3 loss to the Weyburn Beavers, the Cardinals have shown warning signs of potentially dead bats. With a few more hits, the Cardinals very well could have ended opening weekend on the top of the stand-
ings. In the loss to the Red Sox both teams put together solid pitching performances before the Red Sox willed out a late inning run to break the tie and foil the Cardinals home opener celebrations. More of the same was on display in the Cardinals Sunday afternoon clash at Jubilee Park against the Millionaires as once again the Cardinals hot pitching kept them in the game despite zero run support from their batters. In the Weyburn game to wrap up the homestand the Cardinals scored one run in the ninth and loaded the bases with one out, but the Weyburn reliever shut the door on the Cardinals promising comeback bid. Cardinals assistant coach Riley Gallu confirmed that
the Cardinals hitting could be better saying, “It’s plain and simple, you can’t win games if you don’t hit.” It is entirely possible that the Cardinals hitting woes are a product of the early travel and unfamiliarity of the players and their surroundings with many of the WMBL players coming from various United States colleges, making these hitting woes just an outlier that will change with added game experience. If the Cardinals do not get out of their early season slump they will find themselves trying to drag themselves back into the playoff race quickly. But with good pitching the Cardinals do have promise to be a competitive ball club as they have kept
12062MS00
themselves in games until the late innings in each of their three losses. Another area the Cardinals could look to for some added run support is the basepaths, something coach Gallu addressed as a possible area of improvement for the ball club. Overall despite the less than desirable results at home the Cardinals have shown that they will be close and entertaining baseball and won’t give up on games even when things aren’t going their way. The Cardinals have a chance to turn things around as they head to Weyburn for a doubleheader followed by a home game against Melville at Jubilee Park Saturday night at 7:05 p.m.

Euro Cup brings out best in sports, nationalism
On Friday June 8, sixteen of Europe’s best footballing nations will join in Poland and the Ukraine for the 2012 UEFA Euro Cup, a one month tournament to see which country is the best in Europe at the continents most popular sport. Think if every province in Canada joined up for a month long hockey tournament every four years then ratchet that up by a thousand and you have the atmosphere you will see in Poland and the Ukraine this June. Whether it be the always passionate English supporters, who despite never winning much of anything always have a trophy or bust mentality to these tournaments. Or the loud Ireland con-
tingent, who after being robbed from World Cup qualification by a Thierry Henry handball against France get to bring their large and loud numbers back into the international footballing spotlight despite being massive underdogs. Nationalism sometimes gets a bad rap as it is often used in an extremist context, but these type of sporting events, like the Olympics and the World Junior Hockey Championships for Canadians, give countrymen a chance to unite and cheer for the same common goal and ignore their own political and religious differences for the ninety minutes that both teams take the pitch for. Be-
Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig yond the pageantry of the tournament and the atmosphere that will fill beautiful cities such as Kiev and Warsaw will be cracking rivalries and matches that fans of the beautiful game have been eyeing up since the draw was announced earlier this winter.

YUFC U-12’s have up and down weekend
Monday bi
Ro on ns
Progress was shown by the YUFC U-12 boys as they had a .500 weekend, hosting two games at the Parkland Mall pitch over the weekend. On Saturday the YUFC notched a 5-1 over the UCT Lightning of Regina, making up for their tough 10-1 loss to RE United the previous weekend. Although the UCT side has shared similar struggles as YUFC the Yorkton side showed that they won’t let winning opportunities slip against beatable opponents with the convincing win. Manager Andy Wyatt was impressed with his team’s effort on Saturday and enjoyed what was a complete team effort in his opinion. Wyatt also noted that the score might have been more lopsided if not for a few bad luck strikes that
hit the posts leaving YUFC goals off of the scoreboard. On Sunday QC United, another one of Regina’s top teams gave the young YUFC squad another tough challenge, handing the home side a 9-1 loss. Like the previous weekend’s loss, the YUFC squad was simply not seasoned enough to handle an older squad despite putting in a valiant effort for the game’s duration. Wyatt was more positive about the loss this time around saying “We played better in this match and had a few breakaways that might have made the game closer.� Wyatt also noted while his team probably wasn’t the better side, he felt the boys deserved to be closer in the scoreline than the final result indicated. The YUFC U-12’s next games are on June 16 when they travel to Regina for two fixtures.
ly put Portugal out of the tournament in the qualification round the “Group of Death� is guaranteed to claim one or two sides that potentially could have advanced in weaker groups. Other notable storylines include Spain looking to defend their Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010 titles without star striker David Villa, Italy looking to overcome a disappointing World Cup performance and a match fixing scandal, and the host country Poland looking to capitalize on a weak group and advance to the knockout stages on home soil. Regardless of what happens, Euro 2012 should be on every sports junkies radar for the coming weeks ahead.

32nd Annual YRHS Car Show and Shine a success
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
After 32 hard years Don Tkachuk and the Yorkton Regional High School hosted their most successful Car Show & Shine to date. With 76 entries, beautiful weather, and a new truck rodeo event the day’s events brought current and former students together to check out classic and new vehicles. The event gives the
mechanics and autobody departments of the school a chance to showcase their skills and interests to the student body and serves as the highlight of many students year and high school memories. This is not lost on event organizer Don Tkachuk who says, “Tons of alumni come back to check out the show.” The shows long list of award winners include; Peoples Choice: Colby Cross, Teachers Choice: Sam Wilson, Best Body and Showmanship: Ryley Stefanyshyn, Best
Engine: Riley Eiffert, Best Stock: Brendan Young, Best Motorcycle: Brandon Zrudlo, Best Interior: Bryce Fisher, Best Custom: Daniel Schick, Best Truck: Sam Wilson, Best Shine: Brittany Shabatura, Best Showmanship: Dylan Sushetski, Best Stereo: Taylor Pachal, Pit Crew Challenge: Brandon Zrudlo. Don Tkachuk would like to thank all of the students of the YRHS and the community for supporting the event and making it a success year after year.
Sacred Heart takes SHSAA Track Provincial medals
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
YRHS STUDENTS stand in front of their custom paint job at the annual car show. The 32nd annual event had 76 vehicles entered into the competition.
Sacred Heart High School had a literal banner day at the 2012 SHSAA Provincial Championship Track Meet in Saskatoon. Preston Liebrecht took home gold in the 200 meter sprint while Brooke Mentanko took home a silver in the 1500 meter distance event and bronze in the 800 meter intermediate distance race. Liebrecht took a silver in the 100 meter and Caleb Sutter took a bronze medal in the 4 X 100 meter relay event to bring Sacred Heart’s medal count to five, which is impressive for any school especially one with half of the enrollment of most Regina and Saskatoon schools. The two medals cap off a excellent athletic career for Liebrecht who excelled in all sports for the Saints playing football, basketball, volleyball and soccer, winning two extra provincial gold medals in soccer for the Saints.
The track meet marks the effective end of the SHSAA athletic calendar as the 2011/12 school year is coming to a close, ending what was a solid year for the Saints athletic teams as their soccer and track banners will be added to their schools athletic history. The Yorkton Regional High School had a rebuilding year after a long streak of coming home with at least one individual medal. According to coach Duane Miller with many athletes in the first year in their age category things were difficult, but many top ten finishes and personal bests were achieved. Brenden Weber took a bronze in the Midget Boys 4 X 100 relay and Brandey Blahut and Jaden Porte both had fourth place finishes, barely missing out on keeping the YRHS individual medal streak alive. Both schools now look to summer downtime before kicking off their athletic seasons in the fall with the football, volleyball, and soccer seasons.
Stock Car Races By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Stock car racing was in full swing on Sunday afternoon as race fans were treated to a full day of races in the sun, taking in some Parkland Racing Association action. The hot, windy weather gave racers and race fans an excellent opportunity to enjoy the weekend after a stormy weekend last week. Thunderstock winners included Kelly Baber who won heats one and two, and Tyler Carter who won the feature heat. Caylee Hiebert won heat one of
the Street Stock races while Dane Vessey won heat two and Mark Maga took first place in the feature race. Tyler Rosenthal took home Mechanics Race honors and Carolyn Heinrich won the Ladies Race event. There was also a Mini Car Demolition Derby show at halftime of the race events that was won by Levi Wilcott. Next action for the Parkland Race Association is Sunday June 24 at 2 p.m. All races are at the Yellowhead Speedway just outside of Yorkton and all spectators are welcome to attend.
YUFC U-14 Boys have winning weekend By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The Yorkton United Football Club’s U-14 boys squad earned a big win Sunday afternoon, beating UCT Regina 8-3. Despite the windy conditions on Sunday, United took advantage of crisp passing to control the game’s pace and possession in their winning effort. With being the superior passing team the YUFC boys imposed their will on the UCT eleven and showed that they were clearly the better side. YUFC manager Chad Grodzinski was also impressed with his team’s offense, but noted that his club
made “A few key mistakes that led to UCT’s goals.” These mistakes were not costly as the U-14’s were in a winning position throughout the duration of the match. YUFC’s offensive pressing was undoubtedly the key to their success Sunday, allowing key player Scott Poppoff to net four goals in the win. The YUFC U-14 boys’ next action is on the June 16-17 weekend when they player two games in Regina on Saturday followed up by a home fixture June 17 at the Sacred Heart High School pitch at one p.m. All spectators are welcome.

In 2003, at age 27, Steven Scholze was diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers. He had a mole on his back examined by his family doctor who didn't think it was anything serious, but suggested a biopsy just to be sure. The biopsy confirmed melanoma. Although very thankful for the lifesaving diagnosis, now as a nine-year melanoma survivor and a family man, Scholze lives every day with the nagging concern that he could develop a secondary melanoma. “An early diagnosis gives you the best chance to defeat melanoma,” he explains. “I recently moved to Vancouver Island and was on a waiting list for a regular check up with a dermatologist for almost a year. Given the growing shortage of dermatologists in Canada and long wait times, I desperately want a device that can help doctors quickly scan any suspicious spots and provide an accurate and immediate diagnosis. For me, such a device would mean peace of mind.” A recent development in this field has given Scholze good news: The made-in-Canada Verisante Aura has been approved by Health Canada, and is slated to start production soon. Scholze says he was so convinced of the potential for this device to make a difference for people like him that he even invested his own money to support the technology. Developed for more than 10 years at the BC Cancer Agency and tested on about 1,000 lesions at the Skin Care Centre at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH), the device uses a light ray to assess a
suspect skin lesion as cancerous or benign in less than two seconds. Recently published clinical study results showed that the tool has a very high sensitivity rate of 99 per cent in accurately differentiating all major skin cancers from benign lesions, and can reduce unnecessary biopsies by 50 to 100 per cent. The device is approved for sale in Canada, Europe and Australia, with manufacturing and production set to begin in the second half of 2012. “Detecting melanoma is a subjective eyeball process for even the most experienced dermatologist,” said Dr. Harvey Lui, one of the co-inventors of the Verisante Aura. “I am pleased that we now have a much-needed objective tool to assist medical professionals in diagnosing skin cancer quickly and accurately.” Dr. Lui is also a professor and head of the Department of Dermatology and Skin Science at the University of British Columbia and is the director of the worldrenowned Skin Care Centre at VGH. According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in this country and those born in the 1990s have a one-in-six lifetime risk of developing it. However, when melanoma is diagnosed early, patients have a 99 per cent chance of survival. In the late stages, it drops to 15 per cent. In Canada, there are approximately 500 dermatologists, or about one per 68,000 people, so there is an urgent need for a device that can improve patient care and detection procedures. www.newscanada.com
