Operating deficit – Deficit to be offset by reserve funds

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER – Snow may be thick on the ground but things are growing at Kan Gro Gardening.

Pictured above, local vegetable grower, Bob Purton, owner of Kan Gro Gardening, has his green houses well underway. On January 25 the furnaces were started up to warm up the green houses and by the 29th the planting began. Tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers and herbs are the first to be planted. “This week we will take our first crop of lettuce and radishes to Thursdays Farmers Market,” says Purton. “By Easter the mini Cucumbers will be ready along with the mixed lettuce crop of Romain, red and green lettuce as well as radish. The tomatoes will be ready by mid May.” Kan Gro grows Cherry, Grape, and Beef Steak as well as specialty crops of Roma and yellow cherry tomatoes. Bob and his son Brendon are hoping for a dry spring so that the rest of the field crops can be planted. The last number of years have been a challenge for these growers with all the wet and cold springs. But for now all four greenhouses are up and running. One green house totally dedicated to tomatoes, two others dedicated to cucumbers, peppers, lettuce and egg plants, with one left to host flowers.

The City of Yorkton’s operating budget report had both good and bad news, but in the end it ran at a deficit of $187,000, which will be taken from the city’s reserves.

Finance director Lonnie Kaal explains that the shortfall is largely due to changes in the Municipal Operating Grant formula, which was based on the 2012 census. She says that the budget was based on the previous formula, and the new version provides much less money.

Councillor Randy Goulden says that SUMA is considering its reaction to the changes to the funding formula, and she says that the organization has voiced its concerns about the changes and is considering its response based on forthcoming information One conscious decision involved drainage and working on storm sewers, which contributed $144,000 to the deficit. Kaal says this was intentional in order to ensure the storm sewer network is functioning, and to reduce flooding.

There were, however, some bright spots.

There was a greater than expected interest acquired as well as a surplus from Protective Services. The Fire Department had reduced expenses and wage and training savings. As well the RCMP collected significantly more fine revenue than expected. Combined, they contributed $270,000 to a surplus. While they may have had a surplus, Kaal says it is not significant enough to offset the losses seen.

The plan to deal with the deficit in the operating budget is reduce transfers to the reserve fund the additional airport capital expenditures, and reduce transfer to reserves by $70,000 for the Gallagher Centre, $50,000 for Public Works, and $50,000 for facilities to help fund deficits in these departments.

Drainage improvement plan continues in 2013

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The upgrades to Yorkton’s drainage system is an extensive, multi-year project, and the Planning and Engineering department’s Josh Mickleborough provided city council with an update on the plans for the new year.

One of the items on the agenda is getting a unified storm

water model. Mickleborough explains that the current setup has a model for each side of the city, each developed with different engineering consultancies.

Also, certain areas of the city are not in any model. The northeast of the city (area east of Highway 9 and north of Broadway Ave East) is not modeled; the area north of York Road including the crossing of Highway 9 is also not modeled.

The plan is to work with Associated Engineering, which did the model for the west side, and combine them into one comprehensive model.

The reason for going with Associated Engineering is to reduce the duplication of work.

The cost of the effort will be $64,000, but Mickleborough says that will pay for itself when it comes to efficiently executing capital projects and

predicting the most effective way to go with drainage.

While councillor Chris Wyatt objected to the plan to go to Associated Engineering without going to tender, the motion passed.

In the construction area, Mickleborough notes that more work in the Dracup storm system is planned for this year.

Dracup Pond 2 will be this year’s phase. The proposed

pond will retain, temporarily storing the storm water for approximately 65 acres. This will increase downstream capacity as well as providing additional storage for upstream flows.

This project will cost $567,085 and be performed by Poztus Road Maintenance and Construction.

SCIC encourages local participation in world development

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation (SCIC) connects the different international development groups through the province together.

Brandon Bertram with the SCIC explains that any international development group can be a part of the larger organization, and that means any group that is helping out developing countries around the world. These groups do things such as building schools or work to alleviate poverty. He says that there are normally around 70 organizations that

are associated with the SCIC at any given moment.

“We are really a coalition of organizations, everything from small organizations that are based out of Saskatchewan like Help International to everything up to Oxfam, UNICEF and big organizations like that.

Basically any organization with roots in Saskatchewan that works to alleviate poverty,” Bertram says.

He notes that it doesn’t matter how large the organization is, since the work is valuable either way. He notes that Help International out of Weyburn is doing valuable work with sustainable ecology, and they have built a model African vil-

lage to help develop their ideas and they bring in a lot of international interns to help create solutions to problems.

Much of the work of the SCIC is engaging people within Saskatchewan in international development, as well as educating people on the difference international development makes. The recent International Development Week was a vital opportunity to engage people in that way, Bertram says, bringing information to schools and hosting events to get the people of the province active and engaged, in order to work to improve the world.

One of the focuses is to work with schools, providing materi-

al for teachers and programs to start engaging kids in the province and get them seeing the impact they have as a global citizen from an early age. This is reflected in the Global Classrooms in the 306 program, which nominates different classes and rewards them for the work they are doing to be engaged. He notes that this year, classrooms from Rossthern and Davidson were selected by doing really cool and innovative things in their communities.

“It’s really cool to be able to engage the youth in these issues and get the young people to begin thinking about themselves as citizens instead of

just consumers. A lot of our society is built around consumerism so it’s really meaningful for us to be able to change that discussion a little bit and help open young people’s minds to all the good they can do in the world, if they learn about issues and get engaged and bring their friends and family along with them,” Bertram says.

He admits that Saskatchewan is relatively far away from most international development, but there are many groups of dedicated volunteers which raise awareness, and funds, to help people around the world.

Airwaves for Health Radiothon expands scope

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Now in its seventh year, the Airwaves for Health Radiothon has raised $475,000 for different healthcare initiatives in the region. This year, the event will be focused on getting ready for a new hospital, raising funds and spreading the message of why a new facility is important to the region.

The big change is that more time will be devoted to the Radiothon, with a six week lead-up to the event. In that time, local businesses will be a major part of the event, taking a variety of approaches to getting involved in the event, explains Angie Norton, General Manager for Harvard Broadcasting in Yorkton.

He says that they might have Caring for Others

boxes to solicit donations or selling Caring for Others cards in their place of business, donating based on sales on a particular day, simply making a donation, or any combination of the above. All donations will be announced on air, and any special promotions will be mentioned on air in the weeks leading up to the event.

“What we wanted to do this year was provide an opportunity for the business community to participate more fully in the Radiothon, but also to assist in creating awareness regarding a potential new regional hospital, and that we are all going to have to raise funds and make contributions if we want to see that new hospital,” says Norton.

For an example of a business that is getting on board with the

Radiothon and the new expanded program, Norton points to Humptys, which is donating a dollar for every breakfast sold for a week. Fisher adds that this kind of promotion has been embraced by businesses like restaurants and gas stations who want to engage their customers.

This year’s event will be hosted at the Regional Hospital itself, making a change from previous years where it has been at the Parkland Mall.

The reason for the change, explains Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation is that it makes it easier for the doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to be on air, and talk about the difference a new facility would make for them and for the people in the area.

While Fisher admits that a new hospital is still a few years away, now is the time to show that the community is ready, raise awareness and start raising money for what will be one of the biggest projects ever undertaken in the region.

THE HEALTH FOUNDATION and GX94/ The Fox have announced new plans surrounding the annual Airwaves for Health Radiothon. This includes the Caring for Others boxes and stickers, as shown by Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, and Angie Norton, General Manager for Harvard Broadcasting in Yorkton.

These will be placed in businesses throughout the area to raise money and awareness for the new hospital.

Drainage improvement plans continue for the new year Continued from Page 1.

Improvements will also need to happen on Harris Ave, Mickleborough notes.

The proposed ditch improvement will allow storm water to move freely through the subdivision to its outfall in the Yellowhead subdivision.

It will also address nuisance ponding issues in the ditches.

The work consists of minor excavation work to re-grade the ditches, several culverts will be adjusted (or replaced).

The work will take place in

the right-of-way (unless there is an agreement with the adjacent property owner) but will require open cuts of some driveways and roadways.

On the Mark Excavating won the tender with a construction cost of $81,950. The total budget of this project is $102,645, including $12,500 for design and a ten per cent contingency.

Cederwood Crescent will also see some drainage improvements. The street has had drainage problems, Mickleborough says, due to

the way the area drains into a storm pipe that leads to a ditch on Highway 10. The ditch is flat and has a number of low areas that do not allow for proper drainage, resulting in ponding.

Directional boring a culvert in the same location, under Highway 10, will allow the storm water to cross the highway and to drain into an existing slough and north down the highway ditch.

The total budget for this project is $130,000, and Mickleborough says it is

expected to come in under budget overall.

Mickelborough also outlined some future considerations for drainage planning, well into the future. These include continuing the work on Dracup, a Logan Green diversion, a Yellowhead storm pond and improvements at the Highway 9 crossing. Also being considered for feasibility are a Broadway diversion and work on Maple Crossing. The priority for drainage projects is determined by which gets the

best “bang for the buck,” Mickelborough says, with projects that will benefit the city overall and those which deal with long-standing problem areas being the biggest priorities.

Mickleborough emphasizes that this is a multi-year, multi-million project which is going to significantly improve the livability of the city overall.

The city is two years into its seven-year drainage plan, which is expected to cost a total of $9 million when all is said and done.

Hi ho, hi ho it’s off to work we go If you want to work you couldn’t be in a better place.

According to the stats Saskatchewan had the lowest unemployment rate in Canada in February 2013, at 3.8 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest since November 2008 when it was 3.7 per cent and well below the national rate of 7.0 per cent.

Job numbers reportedly continued to climb in February, up 24,600 to 546,200 jobs, the most ever for the month of February (seasonally unadjusted). Jobs were up by 4.7 per cent in February 2013 over last February, the second-highest among Canadian provinces.

“So far 2013 is looking like another outstanding year for the Saskatchewan economy with job increases leading the way,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd says. “Growing job numbers is all part of the plan to grow our economy, and we will continue with initiatives that will make sure people of our province are able to fill those opportunities.”

Full-time employment was up by 21,400 and part-time jobs increased by 3,000 on a year-over-year basis.

Other highlights include: • In February, Regina’s unemployment rate was 3.7 per cent, down from 4.1 per cent in January and from 4.4 per cent a year ago. Saskatoon’s unemployment rate was 4.7 per cent, down from 5.3 per cent in January 2013, and down from 6.0 per cent a year ago. Regina had the lowest unemployment rate among major Canadian cities, and Saskatoon had the fourth lowest.

• The youth unemployment rate was 9.2 per cent, the lowest among the provinces and below the national rate of 13.6 per cent.

• Regina’s employment was up by 6,500 (5.3 per cent) and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 9,200 (6.3 per cent).

• Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 800 from February last year (2.0 per cent).

There are jobs galore out there and our time is NOW. Let’s make the most of it!

Tragic turn of events, tragic ending The way I see it...

Nothing will bring them back, but imagine if it were your child. Is three years really sending the message to others that what happened is truly tragic and unacceptable?

Sixteen months ago a drunk driving 22 year old – in Grand Prairie, Alberta – had an accident. Accidents can, and do, happen but in this particular incident the lives of four promising high school football players were lost and all because someone made a poor decision.

The case finally had its day in court at the end of February and when all was said and done it left a “bittersweet” taste in the mouths of the families, who are left behind to mourn. While the now 23 year old driver – Brenden Holubowich – plead guilty to what he had done, 11 charges against him – including that of impaired driving – were dropped and a sentence of just three years of jail was recommended.

Rightfully upset, the families of the victims say the outcome was far too lenient and what it all amounts to is about nine months per lost child.

Two others, not including the families, have also been left scarred following the accident. Their

was one surviving youth in the car that was hit that day, who was taken to hospital with injuries and also a driver who was not drinking and carrying the students.

This individual spent months in the hospital doctors say he will Shannon Deveau and never fully recover. He has brain and ear damage. He can no longer drive or play sports, he’s battling depression and reportedly talks about suicide.

Holubowich was driving 120 km per hour that night in an 80 km zone. He didn’t stop to check on his victims after he t-boned them, nor did he call 9-1-1. Instead he fled the scene.

While it’s true no sentence can repay the families or bring back the young lives that were lost, what kind of message are we sending to other potential drunk and dangerous drivers? That it’s okay, you’ll just wind up with a slap on the wrist and if you “feel bad” about what you’ve done it makes it all better?

Yes, we’re talking about a young man who is no doubt remorseful and will hopefully learn from this whole happening, but what about the real victims in all this? What about the lives that were lost? Something just doesn’t seem right.

Column

Prison isn’t going to prevent every single crime The federal government is introducing a bill to require mandatory jail sentences for people caught smuggling contraband tobacco. It requires a high volume – a minimum of 10,000 cigarettes or 10 kgs of tobacco products – and the sentences aren’t very long – 90 days for a second conviction, going up to two years for over four – but it’s a measure that’s not going to do very much to curb the problem. It could even be argued that it could cause greater problems overall.

This is a crime which people do because they want to make a quick buck. Contraband tobacco isn’t going to be the most lucrative drug trade, because there’s a price ceiling since tobacco is sold in shops. So the profit margins are going to be relatively slim, and the people who are convicted aren’t going to be the most intimidating criminals that we’re going to find. It might cost some tax dollars, but in terms of social impact, it’s going to be relatively minor.

But of course, Vic Toews says that the contraband tobacco trade leads to increased gang activity and more illegal drugs and guns in communities. I can accept this, given that there would have to be a supply chain and so on. What I don’t believe is that the solution is to put them in a big building filled with criminals, many of whom have gang connections and know

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger sources of drugs that are significantly more dangerous and illegal.

The problem with mandatory prison sentences for minor crimes is that it’s not actually going to set people on the straight and narrow. If someone is willing to do something illegal but minor like trade in contraband tobacco, they’re likely willing to trade in other products with a higher profit margin, drugs that are significantly more illegal and harmful than an offbrand cigarette. They just need the connections, and let’s be honest, if you’re looking for someone who knows where to find drugs and establish dealer connections, a prison is going to be the first place to look.

While mandatory prison sentences present an illusion of being tough on crime, they aren’t going to make an impact here.

If a government wants to curb contraband cigarettes, it’s a matter of making it less profitable, not of giving people a three-month course in how to deal in much more lucrative products. They are also setting up a task force to deal with contraband, and that’s good, if it makes it more difficult to deal with people will look for another way to make money. While it doesn’t guarantee that this alternate money-making activity will now be legal, at least we’re not giving them drug and gang connections on a silver platter, under the mistaken view that prison automatically solves all crime.

I’m not saying that prison isn’t necessary overall, or that there aren’t crimes that deserve a prison sentence. Instead, I’m saying that there are crimes where prison is not going to be an effective solution for curbing crime, and this is one of them. The only result I can see from this measure is more drug crime, because more people can get easy access to those more experienced in the trade, and they’re out fast enough to capitalize on their new knowledge. Prison isn’t a catch-all solution, and it isn’t appropriate for some crimes, because it could just exacerbate the problem.

$10 million for ads but cutting food safety To the Editor: Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz and his party are trying to buy your support with advertising paid for with your tax dollars. They’re increasing spending on advertising while cutting programs that really matter to Canadians.

But Canadians are speaking out. Their votes are not for sale, and they want to know why the Conservatives are wasting their money. They want to know why Stephen Harper can find an extra $10 million for government advertising this year, but can’t pay for programs that really matter, like food safety.

“The latest round of Conservative cuts will not only hurt the economy, but also put our health and safety at risk. Less than a year after the tainted meat scandal at XL Foods, the Conservatives are cutting the budget for food safety.”

The latest round of Conservative cuts will not only hurt the economy, but also put our health and safety at risk. Less than a year after the tainted meat scandal at XL Foods, the Conservatives are

cutting the budget for food safety. In fact, they’re cutting the budget for food safety at the Department of Agriculture by almost one-third.

People will not buy Canadian meat, fruit

and vegetables if they can’t trust that it’s safe to feed their families, but the government would rather spend your money on Economic Action Plan ads during the Super Bowl and the Oscars than on food inspectors.

Mr. Breitkreuz and the Conservatives have made their priorities clear. Every billboard they paint, every commercial they film, and every ad they air send just one message: Canadians can’t trust the Conservatives with their tax dollars.

A prompt Sask. cabinet resignation is in order To the Editor: Minister Harpauer should resign over alleged conflict of interest in IPAC-CO2 funding at the University of Regina The Green Party of Saskatchewan (GPS) is demanding Crown Investments Minister Donna Harpauer resign. The demand comes after word that her bureaucrats sat on an audit for over one year into alleged con-

flict of interest over money and ownership of assets related to climate change research at the University of Regina. The allegations flow from the audit done

by MNP into the International Assessment Centre for the Geologic Storage of Dioxide (IPACCO2).

The Saskatchewan Government has invested $5-million in the project. It is alleged a private company was paid for services to

IPAC-CO2 under questionable circumstances.

It is alarming that Crown Investments Minister Donna Harpauer was not briefed about the audit. Harpauer has lost the confidence of the electorate over this scandal, and she should resign from cabinet immediately.

Victor Lau, Leader of the Green Party of Saskatchewan, Regina, SK.

To the Editor:

Over the past several decades a tragedy has quietly unfolded in our own backyard: disproportionate and disturbingly high rates of Aboriginal women and girls have gone missing or been murdered.

If this happened to our nonnative Canadian women at the same rate, there would be over 20,000 victims.

While indigenous women and girls account for 10 per cent of all female homicides in Canada, they make up just three per cent of our female population. About 85 per cent of all homicides are solved by police investigations, but that “clearance rate” drops to just 50 per cent when the victim is an Aboriginal woman or girl.

Our indifference towards this injustice must end. That’s why the Liberal Party has been pushing for years for a transparent National Public Inquiry to get to the bottom of these cases and their root causes. Yet each time we advanced the idea, we were rebuffed.

Finally there is a breakthrough: Parliament has passed a Liberal motion with the support of all parties to create a special Parliamentary committee to look into these cases and to find ways to address the root causes of this intolerable violence.

While we still firmly believe that a National Public Inquiry is needed, this is a small, but important first step. Now it is up to all MPs, including Garry Breitkreuz, to ensure the committee conducts serious work without interference from the Prime Minister’s Office. It is high time to provide justice for the victims, healing for their families and an end the violence.

Carolyn Bennett, MP, Liberal Party of Canada Aboriginal Affairs Critic.

TransActions all about making connections

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The theme of TransActions was “creating partnerships and prosperity,” and that theme extended to the way the conference was planned. Produced in partnership between the Yorkton Tribal Council and the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, the event brought together a number of speakers to talk about the different economic factors facing communities today.

Juanita Polegi, executive director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, says the two day event went very well,

with great speakers and audience participation.

The first day was focused on entrepreneurship, and Dale Domres, Director of Economic Development for the YTC says that it was a good opportunity to connect young people who have started a business already with others thinking of doing so. High school students were brought down for the day, and it was a valuable experience for both sides.

“We know that there are people out there, young people, with great business ideas. So to have other young people show them how they took their business idea and made it viable, it’s really good

to have that role model,” Polegi says.

Domres says that many success stories start from an entrepreneurial idea, and it’s important to encourage those ideas and keep people thinking of ways to get their business off the ground.

Polegi says that the goal of TransActions was to get everyone working together to improve their communities and working towards prosperity.

Domres adds that while people might know each other from business, it’s still important to have an event that encourages them to “explore each other’s world” and help people understand the perspective of other people, businesses

and communities.

“We hope people go away with lots of ideas to help better their communities and that they open the dialog between community members and members outside the community,” Polegi says.

Domres adds that another goal of the conference is to give people information on different tools available and see different things that can be done to improve their communities.

Polegi says that the conference was an excellent partnership between the two organizations, and she hopes to see more partnerships between the two organizations.

Planning a vital component of a community

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer TransActions had speakers touch on a wide variety of topics, and one thing that was mentioned more than once was the importance of good planning. Ali Shaver with Dalhousie University spoke about the importance of community planning, touching on some of the plans she has seen go into action.

Shaver says that community planning is important so communities can prepare for economic development and map out where they want to go. She says that planning is important no matter the size of the community.

Dalhousie itself has been working with First Nations communities in Atlantic Canada and the prairies, and has developed the First Nations Community Planning model, which is a seven-step planning process. The steps are gathering background information, exploring strengths and issues, exploring root causes of those strengths and issues, articulating values and a vision statement, creating a framework for action, implementing the plan, and finally monitoring in order to see if they are achieved.

“They are general enough that they can be adapted to unique community concepts,” Shaver says.

This model has been used when working with different First Nations community of different sizes, Shaver explains, and have helped communities move forward.

She says that the Standing Buffalo First Nation is a

good example, as they worked through the different departments as well as schools and the overall community to find their goals for the future. They started a project testing straw bale construction and the viability for buildings in the community, beginning with a small garden shed as a pilot project, and are now looking to take on more ambitious projects such as a community hall.

Shaver admits that community planning isn’t easy, and it’s a lengthy process. The most difficult aspect is getting people involved in the planning process. She says that it can be hard to get people engaged, whether they don’t know about the importance of planning, they have seen the process fail and are unwilling to take part in a project that might not get anywhere, or they simply don’t have the time to participate given the responsibilities of their family life.

“There are a lot of hurdles that you have to start the planning process with.”

It can also be difficult to get a plan moving, and she says the solution is to start a project immediately to show that everyone is working towards that goal.

Something like the Standing Buffalo shed might be a small step towards the larger plan, but it shows that the plan isn’t just on a shelf, but has been put into action.

She says that the two days of TransActions has been valuable to bring different people together and discussing the issues important in their communities, including planning.

ALI SHAVER from Dalhousie University speaks about community planning during the TransActions conference, recently held in Yorkton.

Chamber of Commerce CEO speaks at TransActions

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce was one of the speakers at the TransActions conference, and he touched on different things that people, businesses and communities can do to be successful.

The core to the continued success of business is common sense, McLellan says, and his presentation touched on ways that people can use common sense to improve their business or community. He notes that things like getting people the right skills, keeping the workplace safe, and finding ways to get people to work on time and doing the job seem simple, but are still vital.

McLellan says that one of the major issues in the Saskatchewan workplace is aboriginal engagement, and a major component of that is simply access.

Things like transportation and getting the necessary

skills for the job can be obstacles, but they are obstacles that can be overcome, through smart planning and cooperation.

“There are opportunities out there, and people from both the aboriginal community and the business community need to be a little bit more strident to get the deal done,” McLellan says.

He says that another thing that businesses need to do is awareness training, so that different cultures can be understood when they begin working for the business. He says that the training is something that makes life better, since the employee is happier, the business can find more skilled employees, and everything works much smoother overall.

Another aspect of success is community planning, and McLellan says that the people you need are already there in the community, it just takes the step of engaging them and listening to what they have to say. Whatever the plan might be, it remains necessary to get the community moving in the right direction.

Parkland College and ECRF work together The Parkland College has announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the East Central Research Foundation (ECRF) that will allow the partners to jointly pursue new agricultural applied research projects near Yorkton.

Several activities are already underway. The City of Yorkton is providing a lease on a plot of land close to the city. This site will provide ample testing space for applied research projects operated by the college and ECRF. It will also be used in hands-on instruction through the college’s 42-week Agriculture Crop Production program, which began in February.

Under the terms of the agreement, ECRF will hire a farm technician while the college will employ summer students or work experience students. College instructors

Michael Hall and Sarah Lipoth will be the scientists involved in the new projects.

The ECRF is a nonprofit organization established in 1996 on land just west of Canora. It undertakes applied research projects and demonstrates specialized crop protection technologies to local producers.

Funding from government agencies allows the ECRF to conduct trials on everything from seed treatments and crop residues to fertilizer application rates and weed and pest control. The data are provided to the research community, agricultural industry and local producers. ECRF is one of eight producer-directed re search and demonstration sites in Saskatchewan making up the Agriculture – Applied Research Management (Agri-ARM) network.

THE PARKLAND COLLEGE has announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the East Central Research Foundation (ECRF) that will allow the partners to jointly pursue new agricultural applied research projects near Yorkton. Pictured, Michael Cameron (left), Director of Training & Business Development at Parkland College, signs the MOU with Glenn Blakley from the East Central Research Foundation.

“If you don’t have a plan as a community, you’re just going to go in circles,” McLellan says.

He also says that there are plenty of ways to capitalize on the people who are already in an area. He notes, for example, that getting people who have “half-baked” ideas and bringing them together can connect people and give people the tools to finish and move forward with their plans and start new businesses.

Speaking on the conference itself, McLellan says it’s valuable because of the way it connects different people and gets them talking to each other.

“It does two things. The first thing, it brings people together so they know what each other’s issues are.

The second thing that it does is to make people more engaged by working with each other. You might meet someone who you haven’t met before who says this is a training opportunity someone else is not aware of.

This is a group of community leaders that are coming together to try to come forward with solutions,” McLellan says.

Support continues for veterans and their families

Along with our Government, I have great respect for the men and women who have made sacrifices in service of our country. And I’ve always kept an eye on the programs and benefits for needy veterans, named yearly in the Budget. Among those benefits is an ongoing program of assistance for families of injured veterans whose annual income is less than $12,000. For those veterans, the program offers real assistance to help with the steep funeral and burial costs.

Since 2006, over 10,000 Veterans and their families have received assistance through the Funeral and Burial program, with an average payment of $3,600. Depending on the situation, this may rise to a possible $10,000.

Not all countries provide help in these circumstances. Of those who do, many provide much less.

Australia, for example, doles out a lump sum payment of $2,076 Cdn for service-related deaths. New Zealand offers $1,816 Cdn and the UK, $3,498 Cdn. The US provides no assistance for funeral services

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz of injured veterans, but offers free burial in a national cemetery to veterans and their immediate families.

After a Veteran has died, our government also supports and honours their families. The Veterans Independence Program, which assists surviving family members of the Second World War and Korean War has been expanded. The Community War Memorial program which provides funding for

community cenotaphs to ensure the service and sacrifice of Canada’s Veterans is never forgotten.

Our government is keeping our Veteran’s benefits and services intact. We are, however, eliminating the red-tape that has caused tangles for some Veterans and their families attempting to receive their benefits. We agree that they deserve better.

Federal programs concerning veterans fall under constant review, in order to determine their suitability in the days ahead. As a case in point, changes were recently made so that Veterans no longer need to submit travel expense receipts to cover travel costs to medical appointments or for housekeeping and grounds maintenance service.

Liberals would like to see Veterans’ benefits cut and the NDP have voted against benefits for our Veterans. However, our Government has a strong record of standing up for Veterans and their families. We’ll keep on reviewing our standards, to make sure they continue to receive the benefits and services they need.

Jesse Peters Trio coming to town Bursting with energy and innovation, the Jesse Peters Trio is coming to Yorkton.

Jesse Peters has been a force in the Canadian music scene since 1998.

While still in high school, he garnered rave reviews as a singer and songwriter from distinguished jazz artists Ingrid Jensen and Diana Krall. By the age of 21, his group, The Peters Drury Trio, had released two critically acclaimed recordings. Over the years, he has been featured in Canadian Living, in the Toronto Star, on TVOntario’s Studio Two and in two CBC Canada Live broadcasts.

Peters has also become known as the face and voice of funksoul artist Paramedic. His sophomore album, Love, Doubt and Soul, was nominated Urban Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards; CKUA’s Tony King named this album one of his top 5 picks of 2009; and one track was selected for Big Rock Brewery’s Untapped Vol. 3.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training.

This is the 33rd of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

First cold spell of this winter!

Temperature dropped to lower than minus 20C overnight! Good thing our driveway is lined with tall trees, and not as the old farm with a wide open driveway.

With new fallen snow and frost on the trees, it looks just like a picture postcard. And another advantage is that it curves from north to west and back to north. No more bone chilling wind right in my face! I remember one time at the old farm, pushing snow in minus 40C, my breath froze on my mustache, and I almost broke the whole thing off when I tried wiping my nose! Man that hurt! After that my wife made me pull the scarf up over my nose. She said she prefers warm kisses, not ice cold lip imprints below a bristle brush!

I remember from cross country skiing, always cover your mouth and nose when the temperature dips below minus 15C. That’s the way to avoid freezing the airways and lungs. When I was growing up, my dad always told me the importance of keeping the extremities warm, such as toes, feet, fingers, hands and the head, that way the torso will also stay warm.

In the days that I was involved with cross country skiing, I always told my skiers the following: Wear a turtleneck sweater or a scarf, this will keep the main artery to the head warm, add a toque and voila! Mittens are better than gloves to keep the hands warm, but most important is to keep the wrists warm, which warms the

blood flow to the hands. Wear wool socks, avoid cotton. Cotton keeps you warm as long as it is dry; when cotton gets wet you get cold. Wool on the other hand, will still keep you warm even if wet. Use a Helly Hansen type underwear (synthetic material and wool mix), it warms your body even when wet from perspiration. Just make sure that the wool has been sheared of the sheep and spun into yarn before knitting the socks, mitts and toque.

The following should give anybody a fairly good description of cold: HOW COLD IS IT? Degrees Celsius +25: Mexicans put on sweaters. +20: Miami residents turn on the heat. +10: Californians puts on scarves, Vancouverites shiver uncontrollably. +5: Italian cars don’t start.

Cooking is just cooking – it’s just something we do If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that cooking is a chore, I would be a rich man. The act of cooking a meal is just that: “cooking a meal”.

It is not negative, or even positive for that matter, it is just something we do.

We all need food to stay alive and since our homes are all equipped with kitchens, we cook.

Maybe some of us more than others but we all still cook. Some kitchens will have their owner’s unharnessed culinary passions bestowed upon them on a daily basis, while the only glory days in other kitchens may be derived from someone adding onions and garlic to a saucepan of store bought pasta sauce… but it is all still cooking.

I hate to even imagine that there is a percentage of our popula-

tion that rely on daily practices of consuming products like TV dinners, frozen pizzas, and spray can pancake batter. Yes, I did say “spray can pancake batter”!

Talking with employees of a large grocery chain, they tell me that they are constantly bombarded with requests from consumers for fast already prepared meals that they just heat and serve. Is there really a growing number of people in our society that have succumbed to rely on premade meals from a package or container?

Have we lost so much time in our ever growing busy lifestyles that we cannot commit to practicing creativity in the one life-nourishing art form that our homes have always been designed around?

Who made cooking negative anyway? We did. We did as human beings. Take for exam-

Chef Dez on Cooking

by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com ple the simple tasks of washing a vehicle, mowing the lawn, or our daily commute to work.

Are these tasks of complete negativity that all of us are destined to suffer through for the rest of our lives? No, some of us thrive in these situations. What makes these tasks at hand, along with cooking, a chore then?

One of the things that we do, that no other life form does, is analyze and label. Every single thing we do, other than breathe or blink, we analyze and label. We

create good and bad, positive and negative with our natural human psyche without even realizing it for the most part. Cooking, again, is just cooking. If it is positive for one and also negative at the same time for another, it is because each of those individuals have made it so. It is because of their opinion or perception that makes the act of doing something a joyous occasion or a nagging daily occurrence.

Don’t get me wrong; people are entitled to

their opinions, and if there are people out there that are happy with cooking being a chore, then so be it.

What I don’t want is people believing that they don’t have a choice of it being a chore. Of course you have a choice. You just need to find the way to create a positive frame of mind regarding the task at hand. So with cooking, in our home, we introduce music and a favorite beverage to the environment and use this as an enjoyable opportunity to catch up with each other and take pleasure in the family being together in one room.

Everyone is unique however, and what seems to be a simple change of focus to creative optimistic endeavors with one person, may need to be completely different for someone else. What makes you happy? What

can you bring into the kitchen environment (mentally or physically) in order to make a more optimistic approach to this life essential assignment?

Whatever it takes for you to have a more positive approach, the truth is that you will typically save money and eat healthier overall for doing so… and hopefully enjoy yourself, your family and your kitchen more. Happy cooking…

Celebrating 130 Years of Bringing Family & Friends Together 1883 - 1902 The Early Years The Yorkton Exhibition Association and the Yorkton Fair itself have a long and significant association with this area. The fair and the association have grown and changed as Yorkton itself has grown and progressed.

When Agricultural Societies were first organized in this province in 1883, the Yorkton community quickly formed a Society, which was among the first in the province to receive a charter. At that time, Yorkton was nothing but a huddle of tents, a few frame buildings, and a gristmill, located on the banks of the Little White Sand River. At that time the settlement was part of the Northwest Territories, and without a railroad.

The very first Yorkton Fair was held the following year on September 9, 1884 at the Yorkton Farmer’s Colonization Company’s old town site - located four miles from the present Exhibition grounds. That fair was the first social event of the settlement, and such a success that an annual event has been held every year since without exception.

Early fairs had a strong desire to bring the settlers first hand information on the most desirable agricultural practices for their locality.

Yorkton’s first fair included exhibits of cattle, hogs, 30 yoke of oxen, one team of horses and some women’s work. They were always fall fairs, and for the most part were held in early October.

The CPR tracks to Yorkton were completed in 1891. The original townsite and the fairgrounds were re-located at that time to be nearer to the rail line. A small racetrack was constructed at the new fairground site, and livestock pens were located north of Broadway Street and Betts Avenue, now part of downtown Yorkton.

Unfortunately much of the very earliest history of the society have been lost or destroyed. Only a few details and stories handed down remain of the first ten years of the Yorkton Agricultural Society’s existence. But commencing in July of 1983,the minute books of the society are available, carefully recorded by fountain pen in the script of a bygone era. And from those minutes we learn of the issues and decisions of those earliest settlers, who believed that an agricultural society was an important, perhaps even vital part of making a community in those Northwest Territories.

Those early minutes tie the past to the present - for the directors have names that continue to be associated with this area. Insinger, Collacott, Snell, Hopkins, Buchanan, Carson, Garry, Reid, McFarline, Reusch, Peaker, Simpson, Livingstone, Sharp, Bull. Their names live on - a lasting tribute to those who made such a strong contribution to this city, long before it became a city.

That very first meeting for which minutes still exist, show a board of directors looking toward the future with the expectation of growth. The July 8,1983 minutes contain a motion to set aside $50 annually toward a building fund. And it wouldn’t be too many years before those funds were put to use.

The entries for that Fall Show held in October of 1893

This photo is believed show the first Manitoba and North Western Railway Company train to pull into Yorkton in 1891.

reveal a broad range of competitions. Heavy draught stallion, brood mare with foal by her side (both over and under 1300 lbs.) spring colt or filly (from mares both over and under 1300 lbs.), and saddle horses were just some of the eighteen classes of exhibition for horses. Twenty sections for cattle, along with exhibits of long wooled sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks and spring chickens rounded out the livestock. Various categories of grains, roots and vegetables were also displayed. The Class “Dairy Produce” included exhibits of butter, cheese, bread, fruitcake and preserves.

Patchwork quilts, rag mats, handmade woolen shirts, embroidery, crochet, woolen socks and mitts, homemade under clothes, fancy work and homemade yarn came under the heading “Ladies Work Class”. And intriguingly, exhibits of copybooks by age and sex - girls and boys ages under 14 years, under 12 and under 10 were also part of the show. Many these days might consider a return to some pride in this undertaking to be a step in the right direction.

The early directors didn’t operate under Robert’s Rules of Order (which had been published some seventeen years prior). Later minutes from 1893 show a motion that a declaration made by the widow of a gentle-man who owed the society a debt that “she and her daughter had witnessed a director of the association receiving a partial payment from her husband on his death bed” was “without foundation and untrue”. It was likely an over-stepping of what can properly be determined by motion, but their intent not to accept the explanation is plain.

The directors decided to add a spring exhibition in 1894,and a general stock fair was held in Yorkton on May 9, 1894 for the purpose of bringing buyers and sellers together. A charge of 10¢ per head was set for all animals submitted.

The regular fall fair was scheduled for October 4th of that year, but due to bad weather an emergency directors meeting was held on that date, determining to postpone the fair to the 11th. It was the first at which judges, directors

and exhibitors were supplied with identification ribbons.

Small changes took place from year to year with respect to the specifics of competitions available, with additions and subtractions in the grain and cattle classes. Homemade pickles were added to the list in 1894,not to mention the rather lengthily described category of ‘the largest collection of gopher tails secured by members of one family, not less than 200 tails to secure prize. Tails to be the property of the Society.’

Directors and judges volunteered their time and expertise with very little reward in the early days. Some fairs went smoothly, while others produced problems. At the meeting following the 1895 fair there were three protests recorded. One was in the Pure-Bred Cattle category - an entrant claimed that the winner was not the bona file owner of the animal. The other two protests were in the ever sensitive area of milk ownership -one woman claimed that another entrant had used milk from another person’s cows to make her cheese, while another protested that a fellow competitor had made her rolls using someone else’s milk.

A later meeting reveals that ownership of the cattle was satisfactorily verified, while both milk complaints were justified. The cheese incident was determined to be a mistake made in ignorance of the rules, but the rolls protest was found to not only be justified but a deliberate act of malfeasance, and the woman was duly banned from entering future competitions.

1896 was a quiet year in terms of exhibitors’ complaints, but the 1897 fair again saw three protests. All were found to be well grounded, although two provide no details.

The third involved the patchwork quilt competition- it is unknown whether the work was not the competitor’s, or whether it was perhaps another ownership issue - did she use someone’s else’s fabric scraps?

Early 1896 saw a motion to acquire a new piece of land for the Exhibition grounds, and in May of that year the purchase of 10 acres of land at a price of $10 per acre was approved. The earliest recorded history of a plowing competition appears in the minutes of September 19,1896,where it is indicated that it would be held the afternoon prior to fair day, with each competitor plowing 1/4 acre. Plowing matches were designed to educate farmers in one of the important field practices at the time.

The Secretary Treasurer of the society was the single paid staff position in those days, and his remuneration was only set retroactively. The minutes of the first meeting of each year reveal a motion to pay the Secretary Treasurer for his services in the previous year. For 1893 the position received the sum of $25,but in each of 1894,1895,1896 and 1897 the payment was $35.

All in all, the directors spent more time actually doing the work of the society than holding meetings. Generally there were only four to six meetings held per year, but they were very involved in planning and putting on the annual fair. By 1897 they were rewarded for their efforts with free meal tickets at the fair.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 14, 2013 - Page 11A

Be aware of Ransomware March is Fraud Awareness Month in Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan RCMP Federal Investigations – Economic Crime Section, Saskatchewan Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority and the Saskatoon and Regina Police Services are joining forces to educate the public about the types of frauds investigators are seeing across the province.

This column is the second of a series to be published this month.

Ransomware: To Pay or Not to Pay Picture yourself at your computer, innocently conducting your personal business when your screen displays a logo of your local police force and advises you that your computer has been used for an illegal purpose. At this point, your computer is locked and you no longer have access to any programs. Don’t panic, there is a simple solution, as soon as you pay your fine you will be able to access your computer again. Should you pay?

It’s surprising how many people pay the fine. What is perhaps more surprising is the fact that some people, being well aware that the above scenario is a scam, still pay the fine hoping to gain access to their computer programs again, which is unfortunately not the case. It’s astonishing that although the percentage of people who pay the fine is estimated at only approximately 2.9 per cent of those who are targeted by this scam, the scammers are profiting at least $5 million dollars a year.

This type of scam is called Ransomware. It has evolved from the Microsoft anti-virus scam and was first detected in Russia in 2009. Canada and the USA started seeing this in the third quarter of 2012. It is a type of crime which is growing exponentially due to its high profitability.

Because of the high profitability, various organized crime groups are hiring programmers to develop increasingly complicated malicious software. Since all the groups work independently and create their own software, it becomes increasingly difficult to protect the public as it is nearly impossible to know what variation will hit the public next.

There are different ways for the culprit to get onto your computer, but the most common one is referred to as drive-by downloads. This is as simple as visiting a site which has been compromised and the software is automatically installed on your computer without your knowledge. Voila, your computer is now held ransom and you’re made to believe you owe a fine.

Since using a computer has almost become a necessity for the average Canadian, it is impossible to be completely protected against these issues.

However, certain steps can be taken to lower your risk.

The main one is to avoid advertisements on adult websites. Most Ransomware is located on these sites. The idea behind this

is to play on the fact that people who go to these sites usually want to keep it private. Also, never pay someone over the Internet if you don’t know who they are and if you’re unsure about the need to pay a fine, call the originating agency to clarify.

Do not use the number the suspicious page provides -– get the correct number from the phone book or 411. If you think your computer has been compromised, you may want to see a professional computer technician.

AWARD WINNING SLEDDERS – From February 22-24, 33 members of the Yorkton Sno-Riders attended the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association Annual Provincial Snowmobile Festival held in Nipawin. Most of the members travelled by sled to the festival and putting on over 1,400 km during the trip. The Yorkton Sno-Riders were recognized by the Sask Snowmobile Association at that time and were awarded a trophy for the club with the most members attending and the club with the most members attending by sled. The festival attracted over 300 snowmobilers from various parts of Saskatchewan.

This is the third time the Yorkton Sno-Riders have been recognized for this award.

KAILUM GERVAIS goes toe to toe with a Bruins player in the third period of their Game One win in the first round of the SJHL playoffs. A hard hitting series has brewed between the two teams with the Terriers up 2-1 in the Best of Seven.

Martens lifts Terriers to series lead over Bruins

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Playoff hockey has finally taken center stage at the FAA for the Sherwood Division Champion Terriers. After the Survivor Series settled and the Estevan Bruins qualified for the SJHL Division Semi Final, making Game One on Friday night the start of the Terriers road to the RBC Cup. In the first period the Terriers trade deadline pick up made GM Don Chessney and Trent Cassan look very smart, scoring the first goal of the playoffs on a nice assist from Dylan Johnson to give the Terriers their first goal and lead of the playoffs. From there they never looked back, getting another goal from Ellis and two from Patrick Martens on their way to a 6-1 Terriers win and the lead in the series.

After the game Ellis was ecstatic to give the Terriers such a boost in his first SJHL Playoff game saying, “It is the SJHL Playoffs every team is battling for the RBC Cup and this is what I came here for so it was a special moment to get the first goal of the play-

offs at home and help the team get the win.” Coach Cassan also continued the praise Ellis has received for his two way play since coming to the Terriers lauding the forwards ability to play in a variety of roles for the club. “Ellis is an important guy to have on the team as he knows where to be on the ice as you saw with the goal and his ability to take faceoffs and kill penalties as a center makes him a valuable guy to have at this time of year” said Cassan.

Dawson MacAuley was not busy in Game One, but did make all the saves required of him as the Terriers outshot the Bruins 38-15.

With Estevan’s Spectra Place being one of the loudest and best attended rinks in the SJHL Game Two in Estevan was going to be tough for the Terriers, who were looking to bury the Bruins with a win on road ice. Calder Neufeld opened the scoring for the Bruins fifteen seconds into the game, showing right away that this game was going to be much different from Game One. Kailum Gervais did tie the game up going into the intermission with his second goal of the playoffs, but this

game was about to become one way action for the home host Estevan.

Three goals in the second period gave the Bruins a 4-1 lead that they never looked back from despite captain Devon McMullen’s third period goal, winning 5-2 behind a two goal, one assist night from Dylan Smith and Curtis Martinu’s 25 saves. Martinu was stellar in net for the Bruins after allowing six goals in Game One, outdueling MacAuley in evening the series even with the Terriers outshooting the Bruins for the second straight game 27-21. The win upped the ante for Game Three as the Bruins now had a chance to take control of the series if they could manage to upset the Terriers at the FAA. With the home/ away format of the SJHL Playoffs this game was huge as the Terriers would not want to face the prospect of going back to Spectra Place down 2-1 in the series come Game Four, making Game Three a crucial meeting for both teams despite having plenty of games left in this best of seven series.

Harvest force Game Five in OT, lose series 3-2 to Pats

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer One of the best second halfs in Yorkton’s lengthy Midget AAA history came to an end over the weekend as the Yorkton Harvest ran out of magic in Game Five on the road to the Regina Pat Canadians, losing 2-1.

With a loss in Game Two at home and blowing a 2-0 lead in Game Three in Regina, the Harvest needed to win Game Four at the Farrell Agencies Arena in order to keep their season alive. In a season/playoff rivalry that has been as hotly contested as this

Harvest/Canadians one has been, a Harvest win in Game Four seemed inevitable but the Canadians had only lost once to the home Harvest once all year making the odds stacked up against Yorkton.

The first period set the tone for the game as both teams struggled to create any real quality scoring chances with Carson Bogdan and Logan Flodell both showing their quality in between the pipes for the Harvest and the pat C’s as they had done all series. A scoreless first period saw just nine shots between the two teams as both sides were playing very defensive

hockey, blocking shots and not giving an inch once the other team had the puck past their blueline.

Tristan Frei continued his role as the villain for Harvest fans in the series, breaking the tie midway through the second period and scoring his fourth goal of the series to make it 1-0 for the Pat Canadians and putting the Harvest’s season in serious jeopardy. The rest of the period remained scoreless with the Harvest going on the powerplay to start the third, giving them a chance to save their season.

Harvest OT heroics lead to Game Five heartbreak Cont. from Page 15 During the powerplay, Dakota Odgers finally scored his first of the playoffs as the Broncos prospect who came back to play for his dad Jeff pumped some blood back into the Harvest’s season with the goal one minute into the third. The cagey affair continued for much of the third, with the Harvest starting to get the majority of the chances outshooting the Pat C’s 13-7. Logan Flodell continued his outstanding goaltending play, making 26 saves in regulation to force an overtime that seemed like it could have been a marathon with the way the two teams had played in regulation.

Jaden Kreklewich kept it short and sweet in sudden death overtime, banging home a rebound on Levi Morin’s wrist shot from the slot to send the series back to Regina for the deciding fifth game. “It was a heads up play by Levi Morin to inch his way into the slot instead of trying to bang one all the way from the blueline and Kreklewich was there to make a big play” said an elated Jeff Odgers after the game.

Game Five on Saturday would determine the fitting end for a rivalry that ended with four regular season overtimes in a series where it would be a shame that a loser would come out of such an even season of hockey between two teams.

However there is no fairness in sports and what makes it great is what would make Game Five special for both teams, two evenly matched opponents would decide the fate of their seasons with sixty minutes of playoff hockey. Winner takes all.

Once again the combination of Tristan Frei, Mitch Lipon and Zachary Zborosky would torture the Harvest as Lipon opened the scoring just thrity seconds into the

game off a Zborosky assist to take the lead and all of the momentum just a blink of an eye after the puck drop. Bogdan would keep the Harvest one goal down for the next thirty minutes of action, before Frei scored his fifth goal in the five game series to make it 2-0 and put serious doubts into the minds of the Harvest who now needed two goals in the next thirty minutes of play to keep their season alive.

Defenseman Turner Ottenbreit gave the Harvest hope with 17:30 left to make it 2-1, but despite 17 Harvest shots in the third period they could not beat Logan Flodell who held the Pat C’s together for much of the series and ultimately gave his team the series win in a 2-1 final score. Outshooting the Canadians 35-21, the loss would be a bitter pill to swallow for a Harvest team that can hang their heads high knowing that they gave everything they had in the five game classic of a series.

Logan Flodell and Tristan Frei would be the difference makers in this series as Frei’s five goals and Flodell’s 1.24 GAA were the keys to the Pat Canadians series win. A talented group of Harvest players will now go into the offseason with players like Dakota Odgers, who already received a call up from the Broncos, having their sights on the WHL and many more looking forward to tryout camps this summer.

Ethan Bear and Lynnden Pastachak will be amongst those players with the Seattle Thunderbirds and Red Deer Rebels having the two talented youngsters rights and likely won’t be in Harvest jerseys next fall.

After an opening to the season that was a nightmare, the Harvest turned the ship around and had a winter that was filled with signature moments. The 2012/13 Harvest came up short, but won’t be forgotten.

Terriers up 2-1 on Bruins in Round One Cont. from Page 15

Curtis Martinu would become the focal point of Game Three early and often, making spectacular saves throughout the game, which entered the second period scoreless behind his 21 saves in the opening 40 minutes.

In the third the Terriers needed to find a hero to get on the scoresheet with the chance of their second home loss of the 2012/13 year becoming more and more likely with every minute getting closer to sudden death overtime.

Game One’s two goal scorer Patrick Martens decided to continue his party at the FAA in Game Three, grabbing the opening goal going top shelf over Martinu to give the Terriers the lead. Martens was robbed by Martinu shortly after on another breakaway, but got another

chance on the next shift and made no mistake to make it 2-0.

Estevan scored with :57 seconds left in the game, but it was too late as the Terriers made the series 2-1 with Martens getting to have his playoff moment.

“To be honest on the second goal I was going for the rebound” said Martens who also credited his teammates for the two goals saying, “I got a lot of opportunities from some nice passes in the third there and I was lucky enough to convert them and hopefully I can get some more of those opportunities in Game Four on the road.”

Coach Cassan pointed out the key to Martens offensive success often is his ability to shoot while moving his feet. “Martens has a quick release and gets the majority of his goes on the rush as he can shoot the puck while moving which is something

not a lot of guys can do” said Cassan.

Going into Game Four Thursday night at Spectra place Cassan said the key to their getting a valuable road win will be keeping it simple and avoiding mistakes early on.

“Sometimes when you go on the road in this league it is tough to get the energy to win those battles you would win at home and you start to over think and overwork and that is what happened to us in Game One once we allowed that early goal so we will look to kind of tinker a little and compose ourselves on Thursday.”

Any hopes of a sweep and a cakewalk for the Terriers in round one are now long gone, this is going to be a series and Game Four in Estevan and Five in Yorkton Saturday won’t come easy for the Terriers.

Outdoor Show and Expo aids NASP program

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

In its second year of existence the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo expanded in a big way in its aim to raise money for the National Archery in Schools Program and build a National Archery Facility to hold events in Yorkton. Expo organizer Darren Wandy mentioned that in its second year things have went smoother with the infrastructure in place and expanded with over twenty more exhibitors to grow the event. “Last year was a very succesful first go for us, but now having things set up and ready to go for the event operating costs will be done and some of the mistakes of running an event for the first time and the expenses have been minimized which hopefully will allow us to be able to raise more profit this year” explained Wandy.

Of the 92 exhibitors the Expo had

two Wild TV hosts on hand guest speaking as well as having a booth.

Eva Shockey of Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures and Les Johnson of Predator Quest came down to the event and were extremely pleased with the turnout and how well the event was ran saying that while doing less shows this year, they made sure to come to the Yorkton expo. “I came last year and even though I did less shows this year I made sure to come back because it might be my favorite on the circuit and it has such a great following already” mentioned Shockey. Other highlights of exhibits were the new Canadian Tire location in Yorkton who were showing off their new on location pro shop, and a hunting lodge that came all the way from Ontario to try to encourage hunters from Saskatchewan to explore Ontario as an option for their hunting excursions.

But the main focus of the event

is on raising money for NASP and growing archery in schools, a cause Wandy holds dear to him and has worked on for years, getting archery in every GSSD school from Grades 4-12. “Archery is a sport that I love because anybody can participate, it doesn’t matter on academic standing, athletic ability, gender, age, wealth, anyone can go into archery and become apart of a team and a sport which I feel is important on growing values in youth through athletics and this is a great environment for that” said Wandy.

Wandy also mentioned that the Expo is working with the city on plans to expand the event, which has quickly grown to one of the best in Western Canada in just two years. “This is an event that both helps promote what we love in hunting and fishing as well as helping to grow a great program in NASP so we hope to keep doing this and growing” closed Wandy.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 14, 2013 - Page 17A

NFL Free Agency shows the game is all about the money This week signalled the start of NFL Free Agency with the NFL Draft on its way teams are building for this September with hopes of giving their city a Super Bowl, well except for a handful of playoff teams from last season.

The Minnesota Vikings sent Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahwaks for a first round draft pick as well as some mid rounders, well the Super Bowl Champion Ravens have cut ties with Anquan Boldin and Bernard Pollard and are rumored to be set to cut ties with franchise legend Ed Reed.

The New York Giants, Super Bowl Champs from 2012, are also rumored to be shopping their star wideout Victor Cruz for a first round draft pick after not being able to come to salary terms. These are just the highlights in two days of releases and player for draft pick trades that have been floating around the league, showing the game is very much all about money in this much more salary cap focused era of the National Football League.

Now a famous rap group once said “Cash Rules Everything Around Me” but the Wu Tang Clan has nothing on the money value of the NFL and its owners after this recent run of cuts/releases and trades. When a team with a 2,000 yard receiver trades potentially the best speed wide

receiver in football to an in conference playoff rival because they didn’t want to spend the money on what was going to be a huge payday for Percy Harvin, you have a problem.

When the Super Bowl Champs drop their; leading playoff receiver and likely two of their best players in their secondary because they didn’t want to pay aging talent that got their city their first Super Bowl in over ten years, you have a problem.

Now what the problem is might be up for debate. On one hand you have players who ask for astronomical contracts based on their talents over asking for a fair salary to help build a team. Tom Brady did this for the Patriots not too long ago this offseason, but he was given unprecedented amounts of guaranteed money to do so. Now in a sport where it is a known fact that players can potentially see brain damage in their future once their careers are over, you would have to be completely irrational to expect these players to take a paycut. In a game where your entire career or life can change with one simple routine play the objective of any player should be get in, get money, and get out.

On the other hand of this you have GM’s who in a world with a much harder salary cap after a lockout and the

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig failures of megadeal contracts (See: Albert Haynesworth, anything the Washington Redskins have ever done) are attempting to spend their millions in the most efficient of ways possible in the name of keeping their jobs. With how intense the NFL is covered and with just a 16 game sample size to be judged upon with one day of action allowing for 24/7/365 analysis of every minute detail of the game and it’s inner workings, general managers are less willing to throw money around

and see how it goes.

Their jobs depend on not looking stupid, and if playing it safe rather than keeping championship teams together is what will keep their jobs, they will do it nine times out of ten. They have to, their paycheck depends on it.

With the Ravens they have a different story, they just won the Super Bowl and gave their quarterback Joe Flacco a pile of money and due to giving their quarterback that money decided that they needed to disrespect three other

(Lorresta & Ike Harris)

for a new stadium in one of the better markets in the league, you are seeing that the game is more and more becoming a dollar saving league.

Doesn’t this show that money can in fact buy titles? The 49ers showed no qualms in quickly snapping up Anquan Boldin from the Ravens and will be adding pieces as their NFC West counterpart Seahawks did with Harvin and the Ravens win it all than sell the parts mentality this offseason shows that once you win once, maybe the pricetag of a title contending team isn’t all that it is cracked up to be.

The words of the WuTang Clan stay true in today’s NFL. Cash rules the game, loyalty doesn’t exist and defending your title for your fans and city might not be as important as your salary cap space.

Sr. Raiders go into Regionals as hosts, look for two years of Hoopla

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After securing their second straight conference championship at the YRHS last weekend, the Raiders will be looking to keep the deja vu going this Friday/Saturday as they host 4A Regionals for the second straight year as the four seed in the SHSAA’s 4A division. Last year the Raiders rode a home seed in Regionals to a Hoopla berth and although the Raiders have had roster turnover this season, the Daniel Mandziuk and Ben Redl led team will be expecting to defend home court for the second straight year and earn wins over Humboldt and the winner of Weyburn/

Melfort to get to Saskatchewan high school basketball’s Final Four.

While the Raiders have never played Humboldt, they have been in 4A for awhile now and as the 13 seed will be looking to upset the Raiders, but coach Jason Payne says sometimes knowing nothing can be an advantage saying, “Sometimes as a coach not knowing your opponent can keep your team looser as we will prepare for them like any other opponent and just go out there and run our stuff and not worry about how they do things or what they are running until in game adjustments need to be made.”

A win over Humboldt will likely set up a Regional Final

with Weyburn, a team that always works hard at the defensive aspects of the game and now have a pair of twin brothers who give the Eagles some skill they have not had in recent years to add to their always solid defense and play on the boards.

“Weyburn has had a very good season this year with a new coach and some talented players and if we do end up crossing paths with them it will likely be a very hard fought game as we work hard and they like to crash the glass and press on defense so we will have to match that effort” said Payne. Payne also keyed in on Mandziuk being integral for dealing with the Eagles full court pressure saying, “We have

the best point guard in the province in my opinion and he will be able to control the tempo and break Weyburn’s press” As for other key players this weekend, Jason pointed out a large number of key role players including Tyrell Ulmer, Bryce Tomcala, and Alex Popoff, who all augment Redl and Mandziuk’s efforts with hard work on defense and adding balanced scoring behind their two star players. “Sometimes it is easy to sit back when you have two players who have taken a huge role and ignore the hard work and efforts of the players around them, but every player on our team as of late has stepped up and provided something valuable

for the team and we will need that going into March” said Payne.

The Raiders have earned the right to think they can be in the Hoopla discussion with a big win over Swift Current and tight tournament final with St. Mary’s in North Battleford in the beginning of March, but none of that will matter come this weekend if the Raiders lose as it is win or go home and forty minutes of basketball will define the memories of the seniors on the floor as with a loss it is all over.

March basketball is coming to Yorkton and this weekend is going to be filled with tense and competitive action you wont want to miss.

Conference champ Saints have sights on upsets in 3A debut

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

After their first conference title in 3A was won at the Halo Dome over the weekend the Saints are back in a familiar place heading into SHSAA Regionals, on the road and looking for an upset.

Given the seventh seed in the sixteen team Regional bracket, the Saints will look to earn a win in the 7-10 first round game against Watrous before potentially taking on #2 seed Shaunovan in what will be a difficult path for the rebuilding Saints who

despite winning the conference title might be missing their leading scorer and rebounder in Brenden Walkington.

Despite the bad timing of the injury, Saints head coach Garrett Karcha is happy with the way his team has been playing heading into the season’s most important weekend.

“We have been playing our best basketball in March and after getting two wins last weekend we should have some confidence going into Regional playoffs and hopefully can make the final then take it from there” said

Karcha. The Saints earned a lopsided victory over the Fort Qu’Appelle Lakers in the conference final in a game that saw the Saints match the Lakers run and gun style, something this year’s Saints have not been known to do. Karcha thought that playing an up and down type of game was important for the Saints going into this weekend as it will help them with finding confidence in their transition game and hopefully lead

to an increase in fast break points.

After nearly beating 4A champs North Battleford in the Regional final last season, the Saints have more than enough experience in being the underdog, but with an injury to their best player weakening their strong post unit they will be hard pressed against the #2 Shaunavon.

“Obviously every year in high school basketball is different, but the experience coaching lower seeds in these one off tourna-

ments will help as well as the returning players experience, but we just want to play our best game in the playoffs.”

The Saints have experience against this

Shaunavon team, but on the road in a winner take all setting anything can happen, the Saints just hope that the magic of March will be in their favor.

YBID NEWS A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District

ATTENTION ALL YBID MEMBERS, Over the past few years it has been brought to the attention of the YBID Board of Directors that several businesses in our district have not been making parking available to their staff. As a result they have had staff parking on the streets and this takes up space for YBID Business Members customers. We are asking, no pleading with all YBID Members to ask their employees to not park on the street but in parking lots. If you have to consider a parking pass for $50/ year, it’s a good investment.

At the same time, yes its melting but there are still several areas where snow has accumulated and not been cleared away in front of YBID Member businesses. The City By-Law says it is up to each owner to keep their sidewalk clear. Take a look, if there is too much snow and ice build-up to walk on then it has to be cleaned. So for your benefit and that of your customers please clean up the snow.

YBID is looking at bringing a recycling program to our members. This would mean that one evening a week you could place your cardboard in a given location and it would be picked up and hauled away. We want to know your views on this. At this point the project is in the planning stage but could move ahead very quickly if enough businesses agree to participate. One issue will be cost. If we can pay it from YBID funds then there would be no cost.

If there were additional costs then we would look at an increase across the board to allow for the 52 pickups per year.

Please let us know via email yorktonbid@sasktel.net or call 306.783.9243 YBID is also going ahead with a small program to encourage our members to put their street address on the front of their buildings. It’s actually surprising that some store fronts don’t have numbers. In a small effort to help out we will be announcing a small grant to a business that needs building numbers so your new clients can find you. Details will be right here in just a couple of weeks.

Well that’s it for now, let’s move those staff cars and allow for customer parking, clear away the snow and ice to make walking safe and don’t be afraid to let us know your views.
