EASTER SEALS – The National Easter Seals Paper Egg campaign kicked off at the Yorkton Peavey Mart, with Easter Seals Ambassador Brooke Perepeluk buying the first egg from store manager Dean Rugland. All money raised from the campaign will go to Easter Seals programs in the area, which include Camp Easter Seals, the Summer Fun Program and Adaptive Technologies. Rugland says that the Peavey Mart is proud to support the program each year, and he has seen first hand the difference the programs can make. On a store level, if enough money is raised Rugland will shave his head and possibly even become painted like an Easter Egg himself, he says that their goals are $1,000 for the shave and $2,500 for the paint. Eggs can also be purchased at Booster Juice, SARCAN, Giant Tiger and the Abilities Council.

Popowich speaks at Women’s Day event By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer International Women’s Day was celebrated around the world this past weekend, and in Yorkton Shelwin House and the Canadian Federation for University Women held an evening of celebration. Elizabeth Popowich, Manager of Public Information and Strategic Communication for the Regina Police Service, spoke

at the event. One of the major themes of her speech was the importance of community and local leadership to improve communities and make them safer, something she says she has learned as someone speaking for the police force. She says one of the messages is that everyone in a community has a role to play in making it safer place. “Crime is a symp-

tom and it’s not always the issue. The issue might be poverty, it might be addictions, it might be family dysfunction, it might be the inability to resolve conflict without violence. “Those are issues that aren’t necessarily criminal unto themselves, but they wind up as crime. By the time police have been called, the bad thing has already happened. When you look at mak-

ing our communities better and safer, and addressing those kinds of issues, you have to get past the criminal event... That can’t be done with just one group alone.” Shelwin House is one example of how community leadership is important on a local level, Popowich says. Having a place where women can put their life back together after leaving an abusive situation is something

necessary, but also something that cannot be handled by the police themselves. “In a community of this size, Yorkton itself is a wonderful community, and Shelwin House for thirty years has been doing amazing work to help people live in safety, and help people develop their own abilities to move back out in the world and move forward in a positive way.” While she doesn’t

consider herself as doing anything special or noteworthy, she does admit that she has been able to do things that women before her could never have done. She says that a deliberate effort to involve women in different careers has been something that has been a wonderful change. “In the span of my lifetime, so much has changed for women...

Spring runoff forecast released for March The Water Security Agency released the March Spring Runoff Forecast. The central part of the grain belt is expected to be in the above normal range and could see some flows exceed the natural channel capacity in certain areas but should not cause significant issues. The rest of the province is looking at a normal to below normal spring runoff. “We’ve had more snow than we would have liked in February and some of the surveys are showing more water in the snow which is impacting the forecast,” Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency Scott Moe said. “So far, the conditions seem to be fairly positive and the Water Security Agency will continue to monitor this closely as the

temperatures rise and the snow begins to melt.” The central part of the grain belt was upgraded to the above normal range due to the above normal snowfall in February which added to an already wet landscape. An above normal water equivalent within the snowpack was verified during snow surveys conducted by the Water Security Agency across the southern half of Saskatchewan in late February. In the southwestern corner of the province, below normal snowfall and several melt events have resulted in the forecast being downgraded from near normal to below normal. Spring runoff potential north of Buffalo Narrows, La Ronge, and Creighton contin-

ues to be below normal. Terminal lakes and wetlands that have no natural outlet to drain will continue to remain high for the foreseeable future and with a normal spring runoff could see some flooding issues. Many of these areas remain at higher than normal levels following several years of high runoff with little to no net evaporation. The Water Security Agency will continue to monitor the 2015 spring runoff conditions across Saskatchewan and may complete further targeted snow surveys to verify snow accumulation. If the spring runoff has not started by April the Water Security Agency will release another forecast to update the situation.

PotashCorp matches funds for Telemiracle

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) helped the Kinsmen Tele miracle 39 make a miracle with a $250,000 matching gift donation to the Kinsmen Foundation. The company’s matching gift challenge took place live on-air during the annual 20-hour telethon. Since 2008, the cumulative total of PotashCorp’s support of the Kinsmen

Telemiracle is $1.58 million. “I really enjoyed being here with my colleagues to join in the Kinsmen Telemiracle experience,” said PotashCorp’s President and CEO Jochen Tilk. “Telemiracle represents Saskatchewan’s long history of generosity and our team at PotashCorp is proud to play a role in improving the quality of life and

independence in our province.” Today PotashCorp matched pledges to the Kinsmen Telemiracle from 3 pm to 4 pm – helping to raise well over $500,000 towards the telethon’s total. In addition, the team from PotashCorp was on hand to answer telephones and take pledges from donors. The Kinsmen Foundation, through

individual and organizational donations to Telemiracle, assists people in acquiring special needs equipment and access to medical treatment throughout Saskatchewan. The Foundation has been active in the province since 1971 and continues to emphasize that it is the ability of an individual that is important, not the disability.

“I want to thank PotashCorp for both its leadership role in Saskatchewan philanthropy and its long-term support of Telemiracle. The Kinsmen Foundation is honored to be part of PotashCorp’s giving spirit and desire to encourage others to do the same. The matching gift of $250,000 is part of our success this year and we extend our thanks to

Popowich speaks at Women’s Day event Continued from Page 1A “A job like mine wouldn’t have even existed. I remember, for me it wasn’t that long ago, I started in the news room in Yorkton and there had only been one, maybe two women there before me. It was almost completely unheard of, and I felt like a fish out of water sometimes, but all of that changed,” Popowich says. “We all have something to bring and we all have something to offer, regardless of gender, race, religion

or whatever.” She says groups like the Canadian Federation of University women, which co-hosted the event, are part of the reason why opportunities for women are better now than they were in previous decades. “Think of how farsighted those individuals were to create that group of women who could encourage and foster each other, and develop their community in a way that really hadn’t been seen before.” It was also a home-

coming for Popowich, who worked in Yorkton for 13 years. She says it’s wonderful to be back home, both to see what has changed, but also to have comfort to see how the community has stayed the same, and see friends she has known for over 30 years. “Coming home to Yorkton is amazing on so many levels, not the least of which is having perogies and cabbage rolls in St. Mary’s Cultural Centre, because there isn’t any place that does it quite like they do here.”

Age friendly initiative receives support

Yorkton Council unanimously supported the principles and mandate of the Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative at its regular meeting Monday. “The Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative attended the February 23rd Regular Council

meeting requesting Council’s support for the Age Friendly Initiative. Council referred this matter to Administration to bring back a report,” reported Darcy McLeod, Director Community Development, Parks &

Recreation. “The intent of the Age Friendly Initiative’s presentation was to introduce themselves to Council and create awareness of the Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative. They were not requesting any funding or

resources from Council and are working toward creating partnerships in the community. They will be completing a feasibility study looking at ways to infuse Age Friendly practices and processes to inform community decisions

Safe tips while walking The first day of spring is fast approaching. Daylight hours are slowly beginning to lengthen, birds are returning home, the snow is beginning to show signs of melting and the people of Saskatchewan are beginning to venture outside. With these springtime conditions, St. John Ambulance would like to remind everyone to be careful walk-

ing through ice and snow when heading out into the warmer weather. At this time of year, ice can be hidden under snow causing very slippery walking conditions. If you do come across someone who has slipped and fallen, remember these few safety tips: 1. Approach the individual with caution, assess hazards

and make the area safe. 2. Find out what happened and what kind of situation you are dealing with. Ask if you can help. 3. Assess the individual’s responsiveness by checking their airway, breathing, and circulation. 4. Send, or go for medical help.

Knowing what to do in an emergency can make all the difference. For more information on how to protect yourself and your family when an emergency occurs, register for a St. John Ambulance First Aid Course by visiting www.sja.ca. As a volunteer based nonprofit charity, St. John Ambulance is dedicated to improving individual’s health, safety and quality of life.

making Yorkton a more inclusive community. “The Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative believes that Yorkton residents, including older persons, persons with disabilities, children and youth and representing various ethnic backgrounds, deserve to fully and meaningfully participate and contribute to the social fabric of our multi ethnic community. Further, that there are numerous social and economic

benefits to building a community that is inclusive and meets the changing needs of residents. “The mandate of the Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative is not contrary to the City’s mandate and a Council resolution to support the Yorkton Age Friendly Initiative would position the Initiative positively if any provincial or federal grants become available as occurs in other provinces.” N-R Staff

Get involved and help to create change With a federal election happening this year take some advice from the Canadian Taxpayer Federation to make a difference. Each year, the various levels of government put out surveys, requests for input, and even invitations to make presentations. Seldom do taxpayers take advantage of these opportunities. Even though taxpayers outnumber special interests, special interests dwarf taxpayers when it comes to putting forward their demands. Take opportunities that are presented to you as a taxpayer and create some of your own. Find out when city council meets and ask how to make a presentation. Go to your provincial government’s website and find out what requests are posted for public input. Even filling out a ten minute online survey or one sent in the mail makes a difference. Writing letters or emails remains the best proactive way to get involved. Politicians understand that a single letter represents the views of several of their constituents. Letters-to-the-editor are one of the most widely read sections of any newspaper. Issues of taxation, government waste and accountability have a good chance at being published. This means your letter could send a message to thousands of people. Blogging is a great way to get your views out. A blog – short for “web log” – is a website that features commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics, videos and links. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. Visitors to blog sites can comment on postings. Social networking sites can let you be heard and create change by starting a group page on Facebook. Anyone can add their name to your group. Often even the very existence of such groups, as well as their membership numbers, earns wider news coverage. The group also provides a forum for people of like mind to discuss the issue and strategize. Twitter is another great way to keep your friends and followers updated on current issues and news stories. Twitter members can make posts no longer than 140 characters and other users can follow your updates. It’s a great way to publicize campaigns and events and to motivate others to get involved.

Cyberattacks are worrisome Given the growing number of international cyberattacks, the Canadian and U.S. governments must intensify their efforts to protect respective national interests, according to a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “In a sense cyberspace is the new Wild West, where very little in the form of international law is operating,” said Professor Alexander Moens, coauthor of Cybersecurity Challenges for Canada and the United States, Fraser Institute senior fellow, and political science professor at Simon Fraser University. “Cyberattacks continue to increase in quantity and quality which is why, in the absence of formal international agreements, North American resilience in cyberspace must be heightened.” There have been several recent high-profile examples of international cyberattacks including the flurry of Chinese-based attacks against Western political, military, and industrial targets; U.S.-Israeli cooperation to develop and deploy the Stuxnet computer worm against Iran’s nuclear program; and various Russian cyber operations as part of a new form of hybrid warfare. While quantifying the economic damage of such cyberattacks is challenging, Moens notes that some estimates have pegged the total cost of global cyber incidents at between $375 billion to

$575 billion a year. The study also emphasizes the advantages of cooperation between Canada and the United States and their affiliation with the Five Eyes — an intelligence arrangement which also includes the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. “Canadians should not underestimate the benefits they gain from America’s willingness to share advanced capabilities because clearly, U.S. intelligence budgets dwarf Canadian ones,” Moens said. “And, while the U.S. possesses cyber intelligence capabilities that are significantly more advanced than most states, without its allies, it’s not able to gather the volume of information it needs.” But what about concerns regarding privacy and personal liberties? Moens suggests that increased surveillance at home and coordination with foreign allies necessitates the need for greater oversight of Canada’s cybersecurity and intelligence agencies. “As Canada updates its ability to deal with threats in cyberspace, it needs to enhance the ability of its representative government to oversee this important work. The idea of an all-party committee in Parliament, advocated by some observers, is a good step.” Fraser Institute

Tow hooks should be mandatory on every car There are some things you don’t realize when you’re buying a car. You might be looking at things like comfort, performance, predicted reliability and whether or not you can afford it. All of these are useful things, of course, but there are some hidden things that may not cross your mind. For example, can you tow it? I can tow my car, it has a hook on the back and a place on the front bumper where you can screw in a hook. These are incredibly useful things if you get stuck, which I didn’t really appreciate until I was a passenger in a car that didn’t have those features. After hitting the ditch while a passenger in a friends’ car, we discovered that while the people of this province are incredibly helpful in trying to get the vehicle out of the ditch, the engineers of the company that made it – Chrysler, specifically, because it was a 1999 Chrysler Intrepid – were not quite so generous. We spent a great deal of time in the blustery weather just trying to find something to attach the tow rope onto, and it took someone with much more familiarity with the model in question to actually find a point you could attach to. I don’t want to say Chrysler’s newer products are similarly cursed. In fact, I very much doubt it, because Chrysler is now part of Fiat, and Fiat is

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger based in Europe. Why is that important? Well the European Union requires that all models have towing provisions on their vehicles. If you sell your car in Europe you will design those tow provisions right into the model, and there is no reason to take them off when shipping them to other markets. It’s cheaper to leave them in, plus people will appreciate them if they ever leave the road. Canada should have a similar requirement. In fact, it should just have the exact same requirement, lift the text completely from the European Union regulations, shove it in our regulations, and pretty much every manufacturer would know what they’re designing for and how they should implement it, no

major changes would have to take place. This is a country where pulling people out of snowbanks is something that happens regularly – lots of snow and a spread out population conspire to make journeys to our country’s ditches a regular occurrence. However, Transport Canada does not appear to have a regulation regarding mandatory tow points on cars. They certainly support modern safety features, some of which are great for avoiding going into that ditch in the first place, but when it comes to just putting a way to tow a car into practice, they have no rules. That is a mistake in any country that has to deal with treacherous weather, and it’s a mistake in general. Sometimes you have to tow a car because something has broken, or even just need to get it quickly off the road so it’s not a danger. Towing is just something that has to be done sometimes, and it’s ridiculous to have a car where this is not a possibility built into the model. We should be able to have the ability to easily and quickly extricate our vehicles from snowbanks in inclement weather. It’s not a big expense, it’s already designed into most cars you can buy and it’s something that residents of this country would be able to benefit from. That it isn’t required does not make sense on Canadian roads.

Better health care needed, not less

Current government lacks credible agenda

To the Editor: Like many of us, I read the story of Gail and Jim Sack, who nearly lost their lives to carbon monoxide poisoning , and was relieved that the North Battleford couple was found by a family member and saved. The experience of this family also drove home the importance of Saskatchewan’s hyperbaric chamber in Moose Jaw. The government

is planning to abandon the hyperbaric chamber when the new hospital opens in Moose Jaw, leaving Edmonton as the closest centre to get treatment for carbon dioxide or smoke inhalation. The problem is that the new Moose Jaw hospital will be considerably smaller than the existing Moose Jaw Union Hospital. It was designed through the controversial John Black Lean process to

be smaller with fewer beds, so things are being left out. For example, the current hospital has 14 beds on the labour and delivery ward – but the new hospital will have six. The medicine unit currently has 36 inpatient rooms, but the new hospital will have only 20 inpatient rooms. Overall, instead of 99 rooms into which patients can be admitted, there will be 72 in the new hospital.

This could result in hallway medicine and overcrowding, as well as some patients being sent to other hospitals – including patients who need a hyperbaric chamber being sent to another province. After a decade of resource wealth in the province, this government should be providing more and better health care services – not less. Danielle Chartier NDP Health Critic

Harper fails to move Keystone forward To the Editor: The failure to move the yardsticks on the Keystone XL pipeline falls squarely on the shoulders of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Mr. Harper’s refusal to implement credible environmental policy over the past nine years has deeply damaged Canada’s economic interests and international reputation. His diplomatic miscues on the Keystone file have made the situation worse. This $8 billion project would have connected Canadian oil with refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast. That would narrow the discount on the price of our oil relative to world markets, boosting our economy and employment. What should have been a winwin proposition has dragged on for years due to Mr. Harper’s tin ear. He deeply misjudged the

President, who had directly linked the approval of this project to the need for greater action from Canada on climate change. Instead of addressing President’s legitimate concerns, Mr. Harper tried to spin and bully to get his way, spending millions on ads and telling a group of American businessmen that “you don’t take no for an answer”. These tactics did not work on the President of the United States. This is a failure of one of a Canadian Prime Minister’s central responsibilities: to get Canadian resources to market. A failure of this magnitude was unthinkable between Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan, or between Jean Chrétien and Bill Clinton. To get projects approved, you need leadership that works well with others. But this is a Prime Minister who will not meet with premiers or Indigenous Leaders,

who calls those who want to safeguard the environment ecoterrorists, and who cancelled the three amigos conference with Mexico and the United States. There is a better way. Liberals recognize that progress depends on regaining public trust. A Liberal government will work with provinces and territories to establish a pan-Canadian framework to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change. It will give each the flexibility to design their own policies best suited to their situation to meet these commitments, including carbon pricing. With credible environmental policies and astute diplomacy, Keystone XL can move forward. The sooner, the better. Geoff Regan, MP Liberal Critic for Natural Resources

Survey chooses province best place To the Editor: A new survey singles out Saskatchewan as one of the world’s most attractive places for mining investment. This is extremely positive news for our province as it shows the strength of our diversified economy and the importance of a stable royalty and taxation regime. Published by the independent, non-partisan Fraser Institute,

the survey praises Saskatchewan’s “competitive taxation regime, good scientific support, efficient permitting procedures and clarity around land claims.” It adds that the province “gets credit for having a government with a transparent and productive approach to mining policy…” The survey compares the political and economic factors from across 122 jurisdic-

tions, asking input from 485 mining and exploration executives from around the world. This year’s survey showed Saskatchewan climb into top spot nationally and second worldwide. This is thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people who are making and keeping Saskatchewan strong. Since 2007 the province’s economy has added over 65,000 new

jobs in a number of sectors, including almost 7,000 new workers in the resource sector alone. This is further evidence that the new Saskatchewan is working. The Fraser Institute’s survey results can be viewed online at www. FraserInstitute.org Nadine Wilson, MLA Saskatchewan Rivers

Report examines ownership concentration To the Editor: The National Farmers Union (NFU) has released a major new report, Losing Our Grip 2015 Update, which revisits and expands upon the information and analysis of corporate farmland buy-up, farm debt and input financing published by the NFU in 2010. The update was undertaken to provide a well-documented assessment of increasing corporate control of farmland and the acceleration of farm debt, now approaching $80 billion. This report will allow farmers, the general public and policy-makers to critically examine the ownership concentration process and the financial mechanisms that facilitate them. The report concludes with a series of policy recom-

mendations to reclaim farmer autonomy and food sovereignty. “Young farmers face a double-whammy when it comes to getting started,” said Matt Gehl, NFU Region 6 (Saskatchewan) Board member. “We not only have to compete with pension funds and other huge institutional investors in the land market, we also face huge life-time debt loads to pay for land and equipment. Without laws that seriously control these land-investment companies and agriculture policy that supports decent farm livelihoods, Canada is going to lose its next generation of farmers and end up with something like the serfdom many of our ancestors tried to escape.” Losing Our Grip – 2015 Update profiles several compa-

nies that have been buying up farmland since 2010, including Bonnefield Financial, Assiniboia Capital, Agcapita, Walton International and AGInvest Canada, highlighting their financial strategies. Losing Our Grip – 2015 Update also delves into the relationship between accelerating total farm debt, farmland investment companies, lending by input companies and federal agricultural policy. Excessive debt levels restrict farmer autonomy and are a significant barrier to young and new farmers. The report concludes with a set of recommendations to implement a more just system of land ownership and move Canada towards food sovereignty. National Farmers Union

To the Editor: Middle-class Canadians and all those working so hard just to get to the middleclass have been waiting a long time for some buoyancy in the economy to lift their prospects. Stephen Harper says it’s all the fault of that nasty recession that sideswiped our economy and messed up all his government’s plans. But consider these facts: • That recession arrived in late 2008 and lasted less than a year. But Canadians are still struggling – nearly six years now after the recession ended. • When first elected in 2006, the Harper government inherited a large surplus, but quickly squandered Canada’s fiscal strength, putting the country back into deficit again BEFORE the recession; • The recession made it worse, but it was Mr. Harper’s reckless government that put Canada in a weakened and vulnerable position; • On Mr. Harper’s watch we’ve suffered poor economic growth, tepid job creation, faltering job quality, stagnant incomes and ballooning household debt. • And now there’s a major downturn in the energy sector with more lost investment, jobs and exports – so much so that Mr. Harper has actually punted the entire federal budget into the next fiscal year. This government has no credible agenda to drive greater economic growth. Growth is what’s needed to bolster the well-being of the middle-class. It’s also a key factor in balancing the government’s books. But with an average annual growth rate of barely 1.7% (the worst of any Prime Minister in 80 years), Mr. Harper is forced to resort to a grab-bag of gimmicks to concoct the appearance of “balance” – especially since he has already pre-spent any margin he may have had on his ill-advised Income Splitting scheme for the wealthy. So he lapses funding previously committed to veterans, security services and the fight against child pornography. He slashes environmental protection and other public safety programming. He sells off federal assets. He delays major investments in community infrastructure and new equipment for the military. He hikes taxes for five years in a row and rakes in an extra $5-billion from excessive Employment Insurance premiums. None of these gimmicks are sustainable. Neither do they contribute to meaningful growth. To truly deliver on the imperative of economic growth, the government should be increasing and accelerating federal support for community infrastructure. It should be tearing down barriers to all forms of postsecondary education and skills training. It should be investing in scientific research and innovation. It should be aggressively branding and marketing Canadian goods and services in global markets. And it should be working with provincial governments to reach a smart intersection between economic success and environmental integrity – because the latter is often the key to the former. But there’s no such leadership from this threadbare government. Ralph Goodale Member of Parliament for Wascana

Ballyhooley celebrates Irish song and dance By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Song and dance are some of the oldest ways that people have celebrated, a tradition that crosses cultural boundaries and traditions. Irish song and dance will be celebrated in Yorkton with Ballyhooley, which brings together the Eileen Laverty Band, Circling Over Shannon and the River City Reelin’ Rockettes for an evening of good times at the Painted Hand Casino. The evening is a true collaboration between the two bands, Laverty says, and the reason was because they thought it would be a more entertaining and exciting show if they combined forces. “We didn’t want to make it so each band did its own thing and had half the show. We were very excited about working together, reinvisioning some of our older songs, bringing out some new songs. Then we invited the dancers and it snowballed from there.” Combining bands does provide some challenges, Laverty says, just coordinating the

large group of people on stage and off. She says it’s everyone’s hard work that makes the show happen, whether it’s the people on stage or the technicians who ensure that all of the performers still sound good as they combine forces. “I think it just makes a well balanced and entertaining show for the audience, and that’s our goal, to entertain them.” The music is a celebration of traditional music, whether it’s Irish or from Canada’s East Coast traditions, and Laverty says that honoring that tradition was one of the goals both groups had when putting the show together. She says that the traditional music is something people want to hear. “There certainly are those songs that people know and love and are looking forward to hearing.” This is the third year for Ballyhooley, and the second year where it will be in Yorkton. Laverty says the show was something that both groups wanted to do over their long relationship. While she admits that it takes a great deal of planning to get the show to hap-

pen, it’s something both groups are strongly committed to and are excited to go on the road with each year. “I know everyone feels very strongly, everyone gets along and everyone enjoys it. This show is so different, we only do it for a short time every year, so it’s very focused and it’s such a pleasure to work with everybody on this project. It has been a busy year for Laverty, with a new album in 2014 called From This Moment, a collection of some of her favorite songs. “It’s such a blessing to be able to all these projects.” Ballyhooley takes place at the Painted Hand Casino on March 12. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $35.

EILEEN LAVERTY is just one of the performers at Ballyhooley, a celebration of Irish song and dance which also features Circling Over Shannon and the River City Reelin’ Rockettes. The show takes place March 12.

Sleds used to catch thief

RCMP ON SLEDS On March 9, 2015 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Melville/Ituna RCMP received a complaint of a theft of six cartons of cigarettes from a business in Ituna, Saskatchewan. A male suspect had fled the scene on foot and ran into a nearby field. Members from the Melville/Ituna Detachment recognized the opportunity to utilize their services and skills on “F” Division’s RCMP snowmobiles, and were immediately dispatched to the location. Once on scene, the suspect was tracked across a field for approximately four miles before he was located and arrested without inci-

dent. Although the weather was mild, the suspect was cold and exhausted from his attempted escape. Due to the member’s immediate reaction and deployment to an otherwise “inaccessible by vehicle” location, a positive outcome was delivered with no further endangerment to the public or police. 35-year-old Edward William PELLETIER from Star Blanket First Nations has been charged with one count of Theft Under $5000 and Breach of an Undertaking. PELLETIER has been remanded into custody to appear in Melville Provincial Court on March 23, 2015.

JUNIOR STARS – The SaskEnergy Junior Stars program provided 24 young curlers with a thrilling experience during the Canadian women’s curling championship at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw, February 14 - 22. These young curlers between the ages of 12 and 18 were designated as ‘honourary members’ of the 12 teams competing in the tournament. Each Junior Star received a prize package from SaskEnergy that included a personalized jacket with their team name, a large tote bag, a Junior Stars certificate, and some items from TSN. The SaskEnergy Junior Stars were also introduced with their assigned team at center ice during the introductions of the draw. The SaskEnergy Junior Stars went on a behind-the-scenes look at TSN. This included a guided tour of the entire production and all the work that goes into producing the event on television. The Junior Stars were able to see the makeup room, go inside the production trailer, and even watch Vic Rauter, Cheryl Bernard, and Russ Howard inside the commentators’ booth. Pictured above is Daniel McCoshen from Yorkton who was assigned to the Saskatchewan team. Submitted

Mosaic to invest at K3 The Mosaic Company has announced it will invest an additional $1.7 billion CAD into further developing its K3 potash mine project at Esterhazy, SK. A recently approved change in the scope of the project includes plans to accelerate the production ramp-up of the mine, a decision which will see additional spending and investment in Saskatchewan over the next eight years. During this time, an average of more than 300 skilled contract trades people will be employed at the site, with as many as 600 workers on site during peak construction. “Mosaic is commit-

ted to the growth, efficiency and sustainability of our potash operations here in Saskatchewan,” said Walt Precourt, Mosaic’s Senior Vice-President of Potash. “This is our home and we continue to invest both in our communities and our business.” The first stage of the K3 Project was approved in 2009, at an investment of $1.5 billion CAD, as part of Mosaic’s long-term strategy to expand its potash business. “This is a great announcement and further evidence that Saskatchewan’s diversified economy remains strong,” Premier Brad

Charges laid for trafficking On March 4, members of the Yorkton Municipal RCMP along with Yorkton Provincial GIS and the Yorkton Police Dog Section initiated an investigation into an individual trafficking marihuana in the City of Yorkton. This individual was arrested operating a vehicle in Yorkton, subsequent to this a search warrant was executed at a residence on Maple Avenue in Yorkton. As a result of evidence gathered Kyle Elliot Bodnarek aged 27 from Yorkton was charged

with a number of offences including trafficking marihuana, possession of marihuana for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime. Bodnarek has been released from custody and will be appearing in Yorkton Provincial Court on Monday March 30th, 2015. Yorkton RCMP encourage anyone with information on illegal drug activity in Yorkton to contact the Yorkton Municipal RCMP at (306)786-2400 or Crime Stoppers.

Road bans take effect March 15 Weather permitting, winter weights will remain in effect for much of central and northern Saskatchewan until March 15 when they are removed by legislation. “At this time of year, we need to strike a balance between maximizing efficiency for shippers and protecting our highways from damage,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “Crews monitor road conditions regularly and will remove winter weights as conditions require. Shippers can check restriction orders and the Highway Hotline for the latest information.” Winter weights have already been removed for southern and westcentral Saskatchewan. Weight restriction orders around winter weights are published online at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/restrictions/under the “New Winter Order” link.

Updates of the winter restriction orders will be provided today and Friday by 12:30 p.m. Truckers can also find restriction orders on the Highway Hotline at http://hotline.gov.sk. ca/restrictions/or by calling 1-888-335-7623. Technical and regulatory information is also available from Commercial Vehicle Enforcement at 1-866933-5290, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except statutory holidays. Shippers should also be aware of upcoming spring road bans. Spring road bans are weight restrictions placed on secondary roads during the thaw period when roads are most fragile. They are typically applied first in the southwest and expand to the rest of the province as weather dictates. When restrictions are implemented they may be in place for up to six weeks.

Wall said. “Despite the downturn in oil prices, other sectors continue to show strong growth. This is strong demonstration of their confidence in Saskatchewan’s future.” The K3 site is expected to begin mining potash ore by late 2017. It will serve as a satellite mine for the milling and storage facilities upgraded during the Esterhazy Stage 1 expansion efforts. About The Mosaic Company The Mosaic Company is one of the world’s leading producers and marketers of concentrated potash and phosphate crop nutrients. Mosaic is a single source provider of potash and phosphate fertilizers and feed ingredients for the global agriculture industry. More information on the company is available at www.mosaicco. com.

Crop rotation lessens losses and risks The concept of crop rotations has fallen out of favor lately, whether it’s due to economics, lovely Mother Nature, or logistics in the busy season. I think that it is time to revisit this concept and to understand why it has been promoted in the past. Crop rotations are designed for improving crop and soil health over the long term and some would argue economics too, all to ensure sustainability. I really want to emphasize sustainability, as many producers seem to not be considering this. If you have a son that will be taking over the farm or are a young producer, think about the issues and consequences of less crop diversification and tight crop rotations 10, 20, 30, and 40 years down the road. Crop rotations are a great way to lessen these risks and consequences as they keep

pests off balance, while maintaining soil nutrient levels and using water and nutrients efficiently. Herbicide resistant weeds and weed management are issues associated with tight crop rotations, where the same crop is grown and a similar herbicide is used year after year. Plants are smarter than we give them credit and adapt to our farming practice and eventually the weed population shifts to weed species that are resistant to that herbicide or mode of action. Herbicide resistance develops from a genetic mutation or natural tolerance in a weed population and if the same herbicide or mode of action is continually used, that weed does not die and goes to seed and spreads, then you have more and more herbicide resistant weeds to deal with.

Reduce falls, be cautious As we welcome springtime temperatures, homeowners should be aware of the risks that melting snow and ice can have on their homes, especially to roofs and basements. “Your home is a huge investment,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI CANADA. “Dealing with water damage can be daunting and expensive. Small routine maintenance steps now can save you a lot of time and money later.” Ice dams can form when temperatures fluctuate below and above the freezing point. If the snow on the roof melts, but can’t drain properly, it can pool and then re-freeze. This can cause damage to your shingles and soffits, and possibly even roofs, ceilings, walls and contents. The following tips can help prevent ice dams: • Keep the amount of snow on your roof to a minimum. Use a roof rake or hire a professional to clear the snow away – for safety reasons, don’t go up on the roof yourself. • Keep gutters and downspouts free of snow, ice buildup and icicles so there’s a ready path for melting snow and ice to drain. • Ensure your attic is properly insulated and ventilated to prevent heat from inside your home from leaking into the attic and causing snow on the roof to melt. A roofing contractor can provide assistance if needed. • In the fall, clean leaves and debris from your home’s gutters and downspouts to allow melting snow to flow as intended. On the flipside, melting snow can also lead to basement seepage

and sewer back-up. Prevent or minimize the risk with these tips: • Shovel or remove snow from around your home’s foundation and move it where it will melt and drain away from the foundation. • Ensure your downspouts are extended so they discharge rain or meltwater at least two meters away from the foundation. • Check to make sure your sump pump is working. If you don’t have a sump pump, consider installing one. Contact a plumber for assistance if required. • Consider installing a mainline sewer backwater valve to protect against sewer backup if you don’t have one. • Check your basement regularly for signs of water. “Flooding is not covered by insurance and protection for ice dams and sewer back-up is not automatically included in all home insurance policies,” said Cartmell. “Contact your insurance broker to ensure you have the correct coverage in place before damages occur.” If the spring melt does result in damages. SGI CANADA advises homeowners to do what they can to mitigate further damage and contact an insurance broker as soon as possible to file a claim. If insured with SGI CANADA, an adjuster will contact the homeowner to make an appointment to assess the damage. For additional information about preventing water damage to your home, visit SGI CANADA’s website at www.sgicanada.ca. (http://www.sgicanada. ca/sk/individuals/risk/ index.html)

Once they are present, they are a long-term tenant on farmland. Minimizing disease levels is also an important aspect of crop rotations; which reduce the growth, reproduction and survival of soil stubble borne pathogens, which cannot survive without a susceptible host or plant tissue. Crop rotations will not eliminate these pathogens, but will reduce their population size so that there is less crop damage and control options will become more effective. Rotation of fungicide groups and modes of action will ensure fungicide efficacy. Using one, single mode of action fungi-

cide year after year will select for organisms that have resistance to the fungicide or mode of action and soon the fungicide will not be effective against the disease. Selecting a variety with disease resistance will also help, but do not only depend on that as resistance will break down and new strains, with no known resistance are discovered. Crops have different rooting depths to capture nutrients and water. Peas, lentils, and flax have shallow root systems, while cereals crops have a deep rooted fibrous root system, followed by canola and mustard

with a deep rooted taproot, and alfalfa with a very deep rooted taproot. The deep rooted taproot allows the plants to obtain nutrients such as nitrogen and sulfur that leach down in the soil profile, especially in these wet years. Shallow roots and the fibrous roots system of cereal crops allows to capture phosphorus and potassium, which from seeding are higher up in the soil profile and move only a few mm in the soil every year. As well, including pulse crops in crop rotations is a way to get free nitrogen from the crop when it is inoculated. Pulse crops fix

50-90% of their nitrogen. Faba bean fixes 90%, 80% for pea and lentil, 70% for chick pea and 50% for soybean and dry bean and these crops leave residual nitrogen for the following crop as pulse stubble is broken down relatively quickly. At the end of the day, I understand that economics and Mother Nature play a big role is choosing crop rotations. I wanted to provide some food for thought.

Chef Dez to appear on Chopped Canada Cooking competition shows are extremely popular and have taken the TV airwaves by storm. A large extent of the programming on Food Network Canada is a great reflection of this reality movement in viewing entertainment. The program Chopped Canada is no exception and now you will have the opportunity to watch me, Chef Dez, go head-to-head on this show, competing against 3 other chefs for ten thousand dollars. The show’s premise is to have four professional chefs from different parts of Canada compete in three rounds (appetizer, entrée and dessert) to win ten thousand dollars by being the best, and last one standing, in all three categories. However, the biggest challenges are the time limits and mystery baskets of ingredients for each of three rounds. A selection of four unknown, and more than likely strange, ingredients are unveiled to the chefs at the beginning

Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com of each of the three rounds... and with no time to plan or prepare, the clock starts ticking. There is only twenty minutes for the appetizer round, and thirty minutes for each the entrée round and dessert round, while making four plates of each dish (one for each of the three celebrity chef judges, and one for camera display). Judged on taste, presentation, and creativity all while showcasing the four mystery basket ingredients in the dishes, one chef is “chopped” (eliminated) from the appetizer round, leaving three chefs to compete in the entrée round. The same protocol happens in the entrée round which leaves only two chefs to compete for the final dessert round, and for

the final prize of ten thousand dollars. Sound intense? Yes, very, and makes for incredible TV. You may be wondering how I got involved with this program in its second season: I know a chef that competed in the first season and she advised me that they were looking for chefs for the second season (which started airing at the beginning of 2015). At the time of my conversation with her, there was no way I was going to apply. I had watched Chopped Canada many times and the level of intensity that the chefs were put through was more than I preferred to endure myself. A short time later I was in getting my hair cut by my friend Keith, relaying to him how I

was insistent on not applying. He asked me “are you scared to be on Chopped Canada?” to which I replied “I’m not scared... I’m terrified!” He then said “that’s why you should do it.” I was confused until he went on to explain to me that what an incredible opportunity this would be to teach my four children that when you’re scared to do something, you do it anyway because it is the right thing to do it’s called integrity. This is all my heart strings needed to hear to be tugged in the right direction. That same afternoon I went home, turned on my computer, and officially applied to be on Chopped Canada. To make a long story short, the producers of the show eventually contacted me through that application, and I was formally selected to compete. If you are interested in seeing how I fare against two chefs from Ontario and one from Alberta, my episode is coming up. Tune into Chopped Canada on

New doctor for Sunrise Health Region tising in Saskatchewan. SIPPA is a made-in-Saskatchewan program that assesses IMGS on their education and clinical ability before allowing them to practise medicine. Since the program began in 2011, more than 160 new family physicians have completed the assessment and have fulfilled or are fulfilling their service commitment to the province.

“People across Saskatchewan are benefiting from better access to doctors because of the SIPPA program,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “Internationallytrained doctors play an important role in our health system, and we welcome them and their families to our growing province.” “I recognize the continuing need to have

more family physicians serving patients across Saskatchewan, and I am encouraged by the success of the SIPPA graduates,” SIPPA Medical Director for the College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan Dr. Jon Witt said. “SIPPA is proving to be one valuable avenue we can use to address our need for more family doctors. I am very pleased to be working with our rural commu-

nities, saskdocs and the province to provide IMGs with opportunities to live and work in Saskatchewan.” In addition, a total of 16 new IMGs from the January intake are now completing their clinical field assessments. If successful, these family physicians will begin practising across the province this spring. “We hope these internationally-educated physicians will sink roots in our communities and find life in Saskatchewan enjoyable for themselves and their families,” saskdocs’ CEO Dr. Dennis Kendel said. “Our lives are enriched by the diver-

sity they bring to our medical profession.” In addition to attracting IMGs, Saskatchewan is making progress keeping more locally-trained family medicine graduates in the province. The retention rate of family medicine graduates trained at the University of Saskatchewan has jumped by 17 per cent over the past two years – from 58 per cent to 75 per cent. Physicians interested in working in Saskatchewan are encouraged to contact saskdocs directly at info@saskdocs.ca or call toll-free (in North America) 1-888-4153627 or 306-933-5000.

Fraud prevention month marks anniversary

Canadians are getting wise to fraud, but dropping one’s guard is never wise, for fraudsters are constantly finding new (and often devastating) ways of tricking people out of their hard-earned money. That’s why Fraud Prevention Month is so important. This March marks the 11th anniversary of the annual education and awareness campaign. This year’s theme is: Don’t Buy Into the Fraud. In 2004, Fraud Prevention Month first began encouraging Canadians to recognize, report, and stop fraud. Every March since, the Government of Canada’s Competition Bureau and its partners in the Fraud Prevention

Forum host a variety of events to inform Canadians about the impact of fraud and how to protect themselves. (The Fraud Prevention Forum gathers more than 125 private sector firms, consumer and volunteer groups, government agencies and law enforcement organizations who are committed to fighting fraud aimed at consumers and businesses.) The Bureau has assembled a list of helpful tips for people wanting to be more aware of possible scams: 1. Don’t be fooled by the promise of a valuable prize in return for a low-cost purchase. 2. Be extra cautious about calls, emails or mailings offering international bonds or lot-

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz tery tickets, a portion of a foreign dignitary’s bank account, free vacations, credit repair or schemes with unlimited income potential. 3. Don’t be afraid to hang up the phone, delete the email or close your Internet connection. 4. Never purchase a product or service without carefully checking out the product, service and company. 5. Don’t be afraid to

request further documentation from the caller so you can verify the validity of the company. 6. Don’t disclose personal information about your finances, bank accounts, credit cards, social insurance or driver’s license numbers to any business that can’t prove it is legitimate. 7. Shred unwanted personal information such as bank statements, credit card

bills, unwanted receipts, cheques, preapproved credit applications and old tax returns. 8. Check your credit report every year and report problems immediately. 9. If a scam artist contacts you, or if you’ve been defrauded, report it. These reports are vital to the antifraud efforts of law enforcement agencies. If you think you’ve been a victim of a fraud and wish to report it online, you may do so at the Competition Bureau’s website (http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/).

Relation committee time frame extended Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz announced that the SaskatchewanUkraine Relations Advisory Committee (SURAC) will be extended until 2018. SURAC works to strengthen relations between Saskatchewan and Ukraine, and has provided recommendations on government initiatives such as the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program as well as offered advice on city-twinning arrangements, academic exchange agreements, and reciprocal official visits.

The committee was established six years ago, picking up on the work of similar advisory bodies going back to 1993. “The people of Saskatchewan and Ukraine are bound together by history, friendship, cultural ties, and trade,” Krawetz said. “Settlers from Ukraine helped shape our province more than a century ago, and we remain committed to enhancing this special, longstanding relationship and working on it with our province’s

Ukrainian community, particularly in light of Ukraine’s current crisis.” The deputy premier said that with the escalation of political violence in Ukraine, SURAC has also played a key role in raising awareness of humanitarian concerns and being a voice for the Ukrainian community. The provincial government responded to concerns by donating $60,000 in aid to Ukraine that was used to buy medical supplies, support family rehabilitation and provide

trauma support for healthcare professionals. Over its next term, SURAC will continue its work and participate in the following provincial milestone events: Commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Memorandum of Co-operation between Saskatchewan and Ukraine in October 2015; The 125th anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada in 2016; and The Ukrainian Canadian Congress

Triennial Conference in Regina in 2016. Currently, Ukraine is the fourth top source of immigration to the province. In 2013-2014, more than 900 Ukrainian newcomers chose Saskatchewan as their home. According to Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey, more than 13 per cent of Saskatchewan residents are of Ukrainian origin. SURAC Committee members include: Gerald Luciuk, Chair, Regina;

Alicia Klopoushak, Vice-Chair, Saskatoon; David Dutchak, Saskatoon; Kari Harvey, Secretary, Regina; Dr. Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, Saskatoon; Laurent Mougeot, Regina; Holly Paluck, Regina; Nadia Prokopchuk, Saskatoon; Danylo Puderak, Saskatoon; James (Jim) Shevchuk, North Battleford; and Mary-Anne Trischuk, Yorkton.

The final score is only part of the story Ed, my neighbor next door, found his heaven recently. He was watching television absorbed in curling. My neighbor was glad to see his favorite teams proved themselves as winners in the heat of competition. One of his curling teams repeatedly lost, which had Ed deciding if he would give them another chance, or pick another team. Ed summed it up this way, “You have to keep proving yourself to your fans. A person wants to watch winners, not losers!” Do our favorite teams owe us a win? Do losers need equal recognition for there can be no winners without losers? Hunter Thomson has commented that losing is bad for one’s imagine. For some like Vince Lombardi, there are no good losers. He stated, “Show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser.” For many spectators winning is everything. No one wins all the time, yet, Ed still wants to see his favorite team win. Are there valid reasons for losing? For many the fact that Jesus died in crucifixion meant that he was the worst kind of

publicly to hear his sacred word and receiving his sacraments. Love of Jesus leads to honoring parents, not murdering others, not committing adultery, not stealing, not giving

Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com loser. He healed, saved and raised others from the dead, but he did not come down off the cross to save himself! Jesus had told his enemies when they wanted a sign to prove his authority on earth; “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” He did not come down off the cross because he was sacrificing himself there for sinners. On the third day, he arose from the dead. He proved that he was the Son of God. He has assured those who trust him as Savior and God will win heaven. Jesus came to fulfill or keep the law for us because we cannot obey the Ten Commandments perfectly. Many watching curling or hockey will admit that they could not change places with the players they are watching, and do better than they are doing. Many take God’s word

seriously and try to keep God’s commandments. Their motivation is love to God and their neighbor. They know that their hope in Jesus’ obedience, not their ability alone. Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments as two principles of love. He said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Our love must be multiplied by the love of God. We need the love of Jesus to have no other gods before us. In the love of Jesus, we cling to God and willingly devote our lives to Him. We do not misuse his name or ignore the Sabbath Day but keep it holy. We worship God

false testimony against your neighbor, and not coveting anything that belongs to your neighbor. Love is our actions as a reflection of God’s love towards us as sinners in Jesus Christ his

Son. Jesus’ love for sinners saved us. We act in love trying to honor God’s commands and doing no wrong to our neighbor. We absorb ourselves this Christian lifestyle until heaven.

Photo speed enforcement begins

SGI reminds motorists that the three-month warning period for photo speed enforcement is coming to an end, with live ticketing starting March 8, 2015. “The goal of the photo speed enforcement pilot is zero tickets, zero crashes and zero fatalities,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “More drivers getting in the habit of respecting speed limits will have a positive impact on road safety in the province, which is exactly what this pilot hopes to accomplish.” The two-year photo speed enforcement pilot was recommended by the all-party Special Committee on Traffic Safety. The following locations are included in the pilot: · Saskatoon locations – Circle Drive and select school zones · Regina locations – Ring Road and select school zones · Moose Jaw locations – Highway 1 and 9th Ave. intersection and select school zones · Highway 1 east between the Pilot Butte

turnoff and White City · Highway 12 near Martensville Highly visible signs are posted throughout these zones to inform motorists they are in an area that is photo speed enforced. “Photo speed enforcement provides an important complement to our existing traffic safety enforcement,” said Sgt. Colin Glas with the Regina Police Service. “This program assists police in maintaining public safety and helps keep all road users safe.” The pilot officially kicked off with a threemonth warning period on Dec. 8, 2014. During that time, motorists caught speeding by the cameras were issued warning letters instead of tickets. Once ticketing begins, fines for speeding start at $110 at the high speed locations (plus $1 for every km over the posted speed limit), and $190 in school zones (plus $2 for every km over the posted speed limit). For more information about the photo speed enforcement pilot, visit SGI’s website at www.sgi. sk.ca.

Chances are you have a relative, friend, coworker, acquaintance or classmate with the condition. “My experience with multiple sclerosis began early: I was a teenager when my mom was diagnosed. At first, I don’t think I really understood what was going on. Her MS was mild for the most part. That has changed recently as my mother approaches retirement. It scares me that my mom might not be able to walk, and even more, not enjoy her retirement.” Rhonda Head, Saskatchewan Blue Cross MS Walker

Flood protection work for community

Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency Scott Moe announced $950,000 to create permanent flood protection works for the Northern Village of Cumberland House and the Cumberland House Cree Nation. “Cumberland House is one of our strong northern communities and is home to a very unique landscape,” Moe said. “This community is essentially surrounded by water and our government felt a permanent solution to ensure a higher level of flood protection is an important investment to protect this community.” In 2013, the Water Security Agency provided temporary flood protection dikes through the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program (EFDRP) to the Northern Village of Cumberland House and the Cumberland House Cree Nation. The program is structured so that temporary works usually turn into perma-

nent ones when the case is warranted. The temporary dikes in Cumberland House will be made permanent by adding material to the road beds of Highway 123 and Lambert Drive. The roads then would become permanent dikes and would give these communities up to one in 100 year flood protection. In 2011, the evacuation costs due to flooding for these communities was approximately $1.5 million. An independent study done in 2011 showed that every dollar invested through the EFDRP saved the province $20 in flood-related damages. Since 2011, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested nearly $80 million into EFDRP. This investment has gone into temporary and permanent works along with engineering and technical support for flood prevention. The Water Security Agency was created to

lead the implementation of the 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan. The plan will improve water management capacity and service to individuals, businesses and communities across Saskatchewan. The agency brings together all of the major responsibilities related to water quality and quantity.

POLYDACTYL CATS – Right now at the SPCA there are three polydactyl cats, two three month old females and their mother. What does that mean? All of these cats have more toes than a regular cat, so they have bigger feet too. Like every cat, what they need most of all is a loving, responsible family to join. So if you’ve got a place in your home for these unique cats, come visit the SPCA or call 306-783-4080.
