Project a boost for disabled

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

PARKLAND OUTDOOR SHOW – One of the many highlights of the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo was the 3D Archery Shoot, which gave archers the opportunity to aim at a variety of targets, from stationary to moving. Pictured above, Nick Englot takes aim.

Tentative skate park design unveiled

By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer The funding is in place, a firm has been chosen and soon the new skatepark in Yorkton will become a reality.

Following a presentation at City Council Monday evening council approved a plan and now the work can begin.

The Yorkton Skateboard, Bike and Walking Park Committee was awarded $150,000 from the Aviva Community Fund and Council approved matching funding of $150,000 as part of the 2012 capital budget. The Committee was also successful in obtaining an additional $50,000 from the Community Initiatives Fund for a total of $350,000 for the development of the Skateboard, Bike and Walking Park as part of the Brodie redevelopment project.

Working with the Skateboard, Bike and Walking Park Committee, city administration completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for selecting the Design/Build firm to build the park.

“Firms from Canada and the U.S. expressed interest in our project and we received three responses to the RFP,” says Darcy McLeod, Director Community

Development, Parks & Recreation for the city.

After careful review by all parties as well as local skateboard enthusiasts, a firm was selected.

At a cost of $349,610.72, New Line Skateparks based out of Calgary will take on the project and completion is expected by mid August.

While plans may be altered somewhat throughout the planning stages, pictured is what Yorkton’s new skateboard park will look like.

With the combination of high prices and a small vacancy rate, it is difficult for some people to find a home in Yorkton, especially those who have disabilities. A project between SIGN and the Saskatchewan Abilities Council aims to bring affordable housing to those who need it. Andrew Sedley, executive director of SIGN, recently spoke about why such a project is necessary, and the plan going forward.

Sedley says there are some programs in place currently, such as the Single Unemployable Shelter Allowance, and the Disability Housing Supplement to pay for housing, as well as a basic allowance which those on assistance are to use for the basics of life. The problem is that it is often difficult to pay for housing with these supplements, as rents will increase when the supplements increase, and some people have to take out of their basic allowance to make rent, Sedley explains. He says there needs to be more options for housing.

The project they hope to develop is a downtown subsidized housing project. The planned building is a 30 unit apartment complex, with 20 units dedicated to those with longterm mental illness, cognitive disabilities, cognitive disabilities and other disabilities. One unit would be made for respite care, and the remaining nine for market rentals.

The proposed design would be designed with universal accessibility, and feature a green space on the roof to foster a community environment, Sedley says. The bottom floor would be a commercial space, to subsidize the 20 units and possibly provide residents with employment opportunities. He says that partnerships with business is vital for the project to succeed, and that things like selling naming rights are also being explored.

“A lot of the funding that is out there, they’re looking at business partnerships, public and private partnerships. The bottom floor we would be looking at working with businesses in the community...

It would be having that connection between business and residential, and also reducing stigma that a lot of these individuals do face,” Sedley explains.

Kony 2012: Yorkton effort

By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer

It’s an unthinkable crime that’s happening what might appear a world away, but you can help put an end to it.

A group of Yorkton youth have jumped on board with the Kony 2012 effort and they’re hoping to get the support of local residents to help raise awareness about Joseph Kony who is being dubbed, “the world’s worst war criminal.”

In 1987 Kony took over the leadership of an existing rebel group in Uganda. He renamed it the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army). The LRA has since earned a reputation for its cruel and brutal tactics.

When Kony found himself running out of fighters, he began abducting young children whom he recruited as soldiers or “wives” for his officers. The LRA – with children among the ranks – is encouraged to rape, mutilate and kill civilians.

While the LRA is no longer active in Northern Uganda where it originated, it lives on in other areas. In it’s 26 year history the LRA has abducted more than 30,000 children and displaced at least 2.1 million people.

A group called “Invisible Children” has been working for the last nine years to draw attention to the matter and now, with the help of a video – called Kony 2012 – has a goal of stopping Kony and disarming the LRA. With the video now circulating across the globe, groups are popping up in support of the effort and a Yorkton group has also jumped on board. Organized by Yorkton Regional High School students Jenna Boychuk, Zac Walters and Lindsay Villeneuve, as well as Canora resident Dallon Leger, the local youth have planned a Yorkton event and hope to make as many aware of what’s going on as possible.

Boychuk, Walters and Leger were on hand recently for an interview with The News Review to talk about the local effort and how you too can get involved.

“I learned about the effort on Facebook,” says Leger, “I was blown away and knew I wanted to get involved.” All four individuals in agreement, a Yorkton effort was born.

“The video Kony 2012... makes people aware of what’s happening in Uganda and other parts of Africa...” says Boychuk, adding it was a very difficult piece to watch.

“It was hard... it shows pictures of kids with guns, AK 47’s... these are kids,

they need help. We’re not in Uganda, we’re here but we’re going to do what we can...” While disturbing at parts, the video is necessary, say those involved, to get the point of urgency across.

“People all over the world have been watching the video, the first night I watched it there was about 100,000 viewers. When I woke up the next morning, there was four million and it keeps climbing from there...”

The attention has spurred the declaration of a universal event called “Cover the Night,” to be held on April 20 across the globe and in Yorkton.

“On this day, at 10:30 at night we’re going to start putting up posters all around town trying to cover all the buildings telling people who Joseph Kony is.

Basically what we’re trying to do is get the word out there. If people know, they can actually do something to help,” says Boychuk.

Now on the run from the authorities, Joseph Kony will have fewer and fewer places to hide if the whole world is involved in his capture.

While firm plans aren’t in place as of yet, the group is planning events leading up to April 20 in an effort to garner as much attention as possible... Among the ideas are entertainment in the form of live bands and a barbecue. The group that started out as four, is now growing. Four hundred have confirmed attendance and Leger says they expect at least a thousand to turn out.

“I think it’s important to show that our community, even though it’s a small community, we can still do something to help. Africa is a fair ways away and we’re just small city Yorkton, but we can make a difference...”

To get involved locally, be sure to set aside some time to attend the upcoming event. Volunteers will be welcomed for both during the event and after when clean up will be required. The plan is to meet at City Centre Park. Details, as they unfold, can be learned on Facebook at: Kony 2012 Yorkton.

There are also two websites: invisiblechildren.com or kony2012.com where you can learn more about the effort and view the video.

Aside from the event, and beyond, residents are encouraged to write letters to the Prime Minister and a variety of other individuals whose names and contact information appear on the aforementioned website to keep the ball rolling.

Paving the path for Sask. women There’s much to celebrate across Saskatchewan – including the many women who help make up the fabric of the province we call home.

International Women’s Day, was recognized on March 8, an annual global celebration of the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.

“As educators, entrepreneurs and business and professional women, Saskatchewan women are vital contributors to their families, communities and the economy,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude says. “International Women’s Day has been celebrated for more than 100 years, and provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the strengths of Saskatchewan women in leading the way for women and girls. We have great examples like the province’s first female mayors, Estevan’s Ida Petterson, who held office from 1970 to 1976, to national journalist and Senator Pamela Wallin.”

Times are changing. In 2010, 5,600 more women were employed in Saskatchewan than in 2008.

Approximately 34,000 are selfemployed.

“I encourage everyone, men and women, to join me in acknowledging the women and girls who contribute to making Saskatchewan the best place to live and work, to start a business, to get an education, to raise a family and build a life.”

Together, men and women, we can make things happen.

Break out the lingerie, it’s football time!

Obviously it’s one of those topics you will never get everyone to agree upon but if you ask me, I say why not allow it?

Participants are willing adults, as are the viewers.

Nobody is getting harmed in the process and in the end, we’re talking about a sporting event, much like any other, with the one exception that those involved don’t happen to be dressed in the typical fashion.

What’s all the hype about? Lingerie football.

Picture it... scantily clad gals parading around on the football field making a mockery of the sport and sending improper messages to all those who happen to be tuning in... But is that REALLY what it all boils down to?

It all started in the states back in 2009 but it has since been catching on in Canada – most recently in Regina, where some in the city are trying to establish a league. Others though, aren’t so keen on the idea saying not only is the concept demeaning to the sport, but that it’s degrading to women. While I can understand the initial reaction some would have when they first hear the name, I say take a little time to get to know a bit more and then if you must, make your judgement call. First off, we’re not talk-

ing about dainty, little models sporting heels and worrying about breaking their nails, these are athletes who train and I’m willing to bet could easily take on your average Joe on the field. It’s not scanty lingerie they’re wearing There are shoulder Shannon Deveau either. pads and by the looks of what I saw planned for the Regina league, people wear less at the pool, on the tennis court and even in some dance numbers. Participants aren’t fumbling around on the field being silly, they’re game knowledgeable and fully into the sport – so what if they happen to be pretty too? Should we ban cheerleaders too?

Sure you’re going to have the beer swilling college boys and the like drooling by the sidelines but aren’t these kinds of people at most every event?

Why not give something a chance before you throw your arms up in protest? This may be something that’s a little different, but it isn’t prostitution as some suggest, nor is it even close. It isn’t stripping, or setting women back in time, it’s just a group of gals who want to play football. It’s entertainment.

It’s adults making choices and in the end (yes this is just my opinion), it’s really not all that big of a deal.

The way I see it...

Column

Preventing drive-thru development cannot help In Saskatoon, there is a proposal to put a moratorium on new drive-thrus. The reasons come down to two issues, safety and emissions. The latter is an issue that is slowly becoming less relevant as technology improves – more cars are including stop-start systems every year, and hybrids are becoming more common as well, so the number of cars which don’t actually idle when in line will steadily increase over time. The safety issue, however, is one that needs to be looked at, and I’m not sure that a moratorium on new drive-thrus would do much good.

It’s clear that there is a problem when a place becomes extremely popular with in-car traffic, anyone who has driven down Dracup Ave. would be able to see that immediately. The local Tim Horton’s traffic spills out onto the street frequently, and there is no clear solution as to how they could reduce the problem. The lot doesn’t have much space to expand, and it’s the kind of business that attracts plenty of people on the go and unwilling to get out of their vehicle. One could point out that parking and going inside to get your coffee is frequently quicker, but that doesn’t deal with the problem. The fact that traffic spills out onto a fairly busy street is something that needs a solution, though it’ll have to be a creative one given space limitations.

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger One thing that is not a solution, however, is limiting the number of drive-thrus in the city. Just building more restaurants isn’t going to work either, Saskatoon has plenty and is running into the same issues. However, that said, limiting future use of the service is not going to get rid of the problems that currently exist. If, for example, a second Tim Horton’s was established somewhere in the city, but without a drive-thru, it might attract some of the in-store traffic, but it’s not going to lure away anyone who prefers waiting in their car for coffee. The line will remain the same length, and as a result you’re not actually solving any problems that the lines are causing at the

location.

Once a drive-thru becomes popular enough to cause these problems we need to look at ways to eliminate them, and just saying there can be no new ones doesn’t solve anything. The problems that exist will still exist, and while we won’t have to worry about another place becoming popular enough to require changes for safety reasons, that does little but harm the places which currently need to be looked at.

Besides which, as a city grows, if there is no new development the problems that exist at current locations are just going to increase, as there becomes fewer places that allow you to use the service. A packed drive-thru now is just going to get worse as more people move into a city.

We do need to figure out how to prevent traffic problems caused by a drive-thru, but this is something that requires us to work with businesses to plan for heavy traffic, not just say no new ones can implement the service. There has to be a way to get people better positioned so they don’t disrupt other drivers – perhaps routing it in a way that spills out into a parking lot rather than the street. It’s something that needs to be examined, for the safety of people in the city, but it’s not something that can be done if we eliminate any new builds providing the same service.

A nation of health care pilot projects Some are thieves To the Editor: The formation of an innovation working group, the major result of the provincial Premiers’ meeting in January, was a welcome idea.

The trouble is that the list of topics selected by the premiers will do little (except indirectly) to address the fundamental challenge facing health care systems everywhere: controlling expenditure increases.

The formal announcement promised collaboration, transformation – and innovation, with a focus on health professional scope of practice, limiting cross-provincial competition for those professionals, and clinical practice guidelines.

Existing research very clearly shows the greatest driver of increasing health costs is an ever-growing intensity of service use. People at all ages are seeing more doctors and receiving more services than ever before. Some of this increasing use may be beneficial, but research evidence also shows that there is waste and inappropriate care in the system as well.

If we want to innovate and transform our health care system, we need to have some sense of the direction we are moving toward. What does the ideal health system for Canada look like?

There is a general consensus emerging that Canada should be moving toward a system of integrated care with a patient-centred focus, paying particular attention to people as they move across the different parts of the system. There is also general agreement that this reorientation can happen – indeed has been happening, though in small steps – across the country.

This description of an ideal system has been articulated by stakeholders from across the country and across the political spectrum, from voices as diverse as Don Drummond,

former chief economist with Toronto-Dominion Bank, to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Even more encouraging is the increasing evidence that moving toward this ideal is one way to control health care expenditures.

There is, or at least can be, a happy coincidence of higher quality, more patient-centred care that actually costs less overall.

The origins of a desire for a truly integrated, seamless, patient-focused system are probably obvious.

The need for health care often arises when people are in vulnerable positions, when individuals and their families are confronted with difficult news and hard choices. People deserve to be supported well in these situations by a system that is tailored to address an acute event or a new, chronic reality.

The system’s need for a patientfocused orientation is also clear.

A small number of people account for a large share of health care expenditures. This is true in heath care systems everywhere. These expenses are not driven by trivial use, but by complex conditions – for example, frail older people or people with complex mental health conditions. Given the expense for these groups, even small improvements in care resulting in (for example) decreased emergency department and acute care use, would have a significant impact on overall expenditures.

This is precisely why better care and lower costs can go hand in hand.

So, what hinders innovation? One key factor is Canada’s habit of being – as one former politician once described us – a nation of pilot projects.

There are plenty of innovative projects going on, but these are typically small-scale, often region-specific, and can suffer from not having clear plans for permanence if what is tried proves successful.

Enter the premiers’ announcement of an innovation working group. If the premiers are committed to an innovation agenda, and the innovations they envision are to have an impact on controlling costs, the mandate for this group needs to be expanded as soon as possible.

And there are key things an interprovincial innovation working group on health care ought to do, such as catalogue the current experiments across health authorities and provinces that are aimed at “bending the cost curve,” particularly for identified population groups like the frail elderly. It should then find the evidence of success (or failure) for these initiatives, and clearly articulate what is needed to help the successful innovations spread. Finally, it could agree on how future experiments could be shared across the country. The last point is particularly important because this is where it could achieve economies of scale for innovation.

Health care services are not now, nor do they need to be, organized and delivered in precisely the same way across provinces. But all provinces do face similar challenges, and it is wasteful in the extreme to think that they all have to do all of their own experimentation and learning independently.

Provincial cooperation for modernizing our health care systems is an exciting – and timely – announcement. A commitment to cooperation is especially encouraging given the federal government’s indifference to how the provinces manage their health care systems. Let’s hope the premiers follow through and work on issues that could actually make a difference, in both the short and longer terms, for improving health care delivery.

Syria: there really are no “good guys” To the Editor:

Well, okay, yes, there are some “good guys” in Syria: People trying to live their lives in the midst of civil war, doctors treating the wounded and, yes, almost certainly some who are genuinely fighting for freedom.

But neither of the two sides of that civil war are worthy of support. Everything which either side gains comes at the expense of the “good guys.”

On the one hand, we have Bashar al-Assad’s brutal “National Progressive Front” regime: Dominated by the Arab Social-

ist Ba’ath Party, operating along Hitlerian fuhrerprinzip lines, internally oppressive and externally manipulative and periodically belligerent.

On the other hand, an “uprising” which seems to be animated at least as much by foreign intervention as by internal dissent, and aimed less at procuring freedom for the masses than at tearing Syria away from its current alignments (with Iran and Russia, for example) and incorporating it into a new Middle East order in service to US, Turkish and Israeli interests.

If the Syrian National

Council gains power, the real changes that follow will occur primarily on the “balance of power” chessboard around which various Westphalian nationstates perpetually huddle – Russia may lose its navy’s only Mediterranean port, Israel may be able to reduce the cost of occupying (or even turn back over) the Golan Heights, Iran may lose a client state and three-quarters (if Syria goes, Iran’s influence in Lebanon wanes and its routes of material support for Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank will be partially interdicted), and so on.

For the average Syrian, though, “change” will largely, and at best, be a matter of changing some nameplates on government office doors, and perhaps giving the Idarat al-Amn al-Siyasi (Political Security Directorate – the regime’s secret police) a warmer, fuzzier name and some fresh paint for its torture chambers. A few political prisoners may be freed. After all, they’ll need to make room for the new ones. Rally ‘round the remodeled flag, boys.

New boss, same as the old boss.

Ending Canada’s brand in the grain business To the Editor: Last Friday, public notice was given of some unidentified corporation “expressing interest” in taking over Regina-based Viterra Inc., Canada’s biggest grain company.

Who might that proposed buyer be?

Most likely, it’s a foreign bidder – maybe ADM, Cargill, ConAgra, Bunge or Dreyfus? Maybe it’s a global commodities trader, like Swiss-based Glencore? And it’s not clear whether a buyout would be welcomed by Viterra, or treated as hostile. But without doubt, all this flows from the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board’s single-desk selling system, and the loss of its dominant focus on marketing prairie wheat and barley as premiumpriced, distinctly-Canadian “prod-

ucts” (not just bulk commodities).

And that’s coupled with steady erosion in the quality assurance role of the Canadian Grain Commission.

Months ago, I asked the Harper government if they’re ready to cope with a foreign takeover in the grain business. They vainly boasted that Canadian grain companies would be the ones doing the buying. Yeah, right!

After their frantic last minute flip-flip on potash 15 months ago, the Conservatives promised to produce new foreign investment rules: • to better define “net benefit” and “strategic asset”; • to make the federal review process more transparent; • to make any conditions attached to a takeover transaction truly enforceable; • to specify a role for provincial

governments; and • to deal with such issues as reciprocity and commercial behaviour by state enterprises.

But this government has been negligent. Not a wheel has turned on these issues since 2010, and now there’s the potential loss of Canada’s largest grain company, plus other deals looming in natural resources, the high-tech sector and others.

How does grain differ from potash? Is one “strategic” and the other not? And how does de-Canadianization help farmers? Are they better off with all decisions made in Minneapolis, Decatur or Switzerland, rather than Regina, Calgary and Winnipeg?

To the Editor:

I once had occasion to speak with a fellow parent about how much teachers make and how absurd their pension plan is. We were in the hallway of my daughter’s school and when I mentioned the number of people in the education system who make six-figures a year, he grew tense. “Shh!” he said, “This is NOT the place to discuss this!”

Since when does a taxpayer have to concern himself with where he’s standing when discussing how his taxes are spent?

A teacher in B.C. rakes in $74,000 per-annum after just eight years on the job. There are some really good teachers out there who are worth every penny. But to pay that unGodly sum to all teachers and then guarantee a pension for life based on that amount (or greater) regardless of performance, is organized crime, plain and simple.

An employee of the federal government makes only $55,000 per-annum after eight years, and with a quarter the holidays! So where the hell does the B.C. Teachers’ Federation get off pretending their members need a 15-percent raise? Their members already earn a whopping 35 percent more than a federal employee… double what most people in the private sector make!

I guess this parent was concerned for his daughter’s chances of passing grade three as we stood in that hallway. Whatever the case, he’s a hard-working businessman, but there he was, working his fingers to the bone so he could pay taxes that fund outrageous salaries and pensions, all the while feeling obliged to keep his mouth shut while on school property about how he’s being extorted. I daresay this qualifies as a quite effective form of totalitarianism.

Another time I was talking on air about teachers’ salaries and benefits with the inimitable Phil Johnson on Kelowna AM 1150.

I dared suggest teachers were paid aplenty, and Phil didn’t hesitate. “Watch it buddy!” he said, as if I was suggesting we get drunk after the show and shoot puppies or something.

“Teachers are among the most important people in society!” he said condescendingly.

“Wait a second…” I retorted. “Are you saying teachers are more important than farmers, meat cutters and grocers?” “Teachers teach our kids!” Phil implored. “Fine,” I said, “but all the people I mentioned FEED our kids.

Isn’t that important too?” “Well… sure it is.”

“Then why do all those people have to work twice as hard to pay teachers who put in half the time?”

Again, there are some really good teachers out there who’re worth every cent they’re paid, maybe more. But as long as the BCTF gets its way there’s no way to reward them.

Every teacher is paid based on seniority and the number of degrees he or she holds, degrees the rest of us are forced to pay for.

Teaching is a rewarding profession which, one hopes, people would freely enter into because, first and foremost, they actually want to teach and be really good at it. But standardized testing is out of the question so the rest of us have no choice but to stand by and watch as teaching goes from being a wellpaying job, to a great-paying job, and finally to a completely outrageous paying job.

And what, pray tell, will become of our children if we continue to allow those who teach them to believe they’re amongst a rare breed of highly dedicated professionals who perform heroic acts of pedagoguery… less than 200 days of the year? Well, I’ll tell you... The next thing you know teachers will be making a whopping 35 percent more than their counterparts in the federal civil service, and they’ll STILL think they deserve more! Oh, wait. My mistake; we’re already there.

Whatever you do, don’t discuss this within the environs of a school, and certainly not on talk radio. If only the Mafia had it so good.

Tax dollars at work

SKI SAFARI – The Yorkton Cross Country Ski Club recently held a Ski Safari on the trails at Deer Park. Lions, tigers, zebras, crocodiles and even some gentler deer, rabbits and moose were among the beasts lurking along the trail trying to avoid the alert eyes of intrepid hunters. In all, 21 critters (thankfully of the stuffed variety) awaited all those who dared to venture out on the trails. Five hunters spotted 20 of the 21 creatures (darn that little crocodile) to tie for the the crowns that were at stake.

Winners of the day were Brenda Haacke, Heather Strendin, Kathryn Strendin and Jeff and Pam Whyte with daughter Aurelia in tow. The club sends out a huge thank you to all who attended. Pictured above (l-r) are: Heather Strendin; Aurelia Whyte; Jeff Whyte; Pam Whyte and Kathryn Strendin. Missing: Brenda Haacke.

New Yorkton skatepark plan Con’t from Page 1.

“They have completed concrete skateparks in Winnipeg, Brandon, Swan River, Prince Albert, Regina and Lloydminster along with others throughout Alberta and BC,” says McLeod.

The company also has experience working with volunteers to provide on-site labour if people want to get involved.

“They also have an excellent community input process to allow people to provide input at the design stage and they also use a website to allow tracking of the project.

“New Line employs landscape architects who consider the natural and residential surroundings of the skatepark and understand that the

skatepark is part of a larger development. They have experience implementing in-kind contributions of materials into the budget and construction process and either provide a credit or expand the skatepark accordingly.” McLeod says skateable amenities like benches and garbage receptacles that withstand the rigors of a skatepark can also be implemented into the design.

“New Line’s timeline for construction has the skatepark available as soon as the middle of August, pending approval of the final design and they have a weather contingency plan to minimize the impact inclement weather may have on the timeline.”

New Line’s budget also includes travel and expenses.

Do you wonder exactly how your federal tax dollars are spent?

Reports from the 20102011 fiscal year will tell you that: Approximately 58 cents of every tax dollar spent ($157.9 billion) were paid directly to individuals, provincial and territorial governments, and other organizations.

Major transfers to individuals took 25 cents per tax dollar or $68.1 billion: • Benefits to seniors (Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement and Spousal Allowance) cost about $35.6 billion, or roughly 13 cents of every tax dollar spent.

•Employment Insurance (EI) benefits accounted for over 7 cents of every tax dollar spent ($19.9 billion).

• Five cents of every tax dollar spent ($12.7 billion) went to help families raise their children through the Canada Child Tax Benefit and the Universal Child Care Benefit. (Canada also provides assistance to low- and modest-income families through the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit.)

• Major transfers to provinces and territories totaled about $53.0 billion last year – about 20 cents of every tax dollar spent: • The Canada Health Transfer provided $26 billion for health programs, representing almost 10 cents of each tax dollar spent.

• The Canada Social

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz Transfer provided $11.2 billion for post-secondary education, social programs and programs for children, representing about 4 cents of every tax dollar spent.

• Other major transfers, including the Equalization and Territorial Formula Financing programs and the gas tax transfers to cities and communities, totaled roughly six cents of every tax dollar spent ($15.8 billion).

Spending on federal grants, contributions and subsidies added up to $36.8 billion, almost 14 cents of each tax dollar spent. This included transfers to Aboriginal peoples, food producers and foreign aid.

After transfers, the bulk of each tax dollar spent – 30 cents ($81.7 billion), went to cover the operating costs of the more than 130 government departments, agencies, Crown corporations and other federal bodies that provide programs and services for Canadians.

• Fourteen cents of each tax dollar spent went to fund the costs of three organizations: • Eight cents ($21.3 billion) to National Defence.

• over three cents ($9.4 billion) to Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

• close to three cents ($7.3 billion) to the Canada Revenue Agency.

• 12 cents ($33.1 billion) of each tax dollar spent funded the operations of the other federal departments and agencies, including a quarter of a cent per tax dollar to fund Parliament itself (including salaries and benefits for Members of Parliament, Senators and all the parliamentary staff, as well as the facilities and all service costs to keep it running.)

Crown corporations (organizations owned directly or indirectly by the government) cost $10.5 billion, or just under four cents of each tax dollar spent.

And finally, about 11 cents of every tax dollar spent ($30.9 billion), paid for the interest charges on Canada’s public debt.

Hopefully a look at the big picture is helpful as we prepare for the upcoming federal budget on March 29th.

There are no good guys Con’t from Page 5.

It is for this kind of “revolution” that the “international community” – assorted governments no better than Assad’s, and “nongovernmental organizations” drawing their paychecks from those governments – calls upon Syrians to shed their blood, and assists them in doing so whether they want to or not.

When states play their games, the people always lose. And while I understand the im-

propriety of lecturing the oppressed on how to deal with their oppressors, I believe I’m on solid ground in urging the Syrian people not to waste their blood and treasure for no better purpose than getting themselves out of the frying pan they know so well and into the fire beneath it.

Nor are the oppressed of other lands, in particular those whose governments are involved in this latest gambit, in any way served by the

interventionist machinations of their masters.

The only revolution worth having – or encouraging or aiding – is a revolution which abolishes not just a particular state, but the state as such. Anything less is at best a tactical move probably not worth the cost, and at worst a mere change of labels worth nothing at all.

THE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM YOUTH ASSOCIATION (AMYA) was in Yorkton to help spread their message of peace. Pictured above are (l-) Ferhan Bashir, Nauman Ahmad, Danish Mehmood, Luqman Bashir and Muhammad Fiaz.

Muslim group touring to promote peace

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of Canada (AMYA) knows that many people have misconceptions about their people and their religion. In response, they hope to reach people and educate them, promoting peace, condemning terrorism and dispelling myths. The group recently held an open house at the Gallagher Centre.

Noman Khalil explains that the project began as a response to Pastor Terry Jones burning the Holy Qur’an in Florida.

He explains that watching reactions of Muslims around the world, they decided they needed to react in a positive way.

“Because ‘Islam’ means ‘peace’ we decided the best way to react is peacefully. We decided to have an open house, have the teachings of the Holy Quar’an and let the people see it for themselves, read it for themselves, and decide for themselves if it is a peaceful mes-

sage,” Khalil explains.

Yorkton was the fifth city the group the visited, in a tour that is planned to cover three provinces.

Khalil says the communities have been receptive to their message.

He says that a variety of people come to the open house, from those who want to know about Islam because they are meeting people and want to better understand their beliefs, to those who find contradictions between what they see in the news and what their message is.

Khalil says that they field a lot of questions that are inspired by current events, about things such as jihad and sharia law, and they have the opportunity to show people that Islam should be a religion of peace and understanding.

“Somebody has to stand up, make a stand, and fight peacefully. If the extremists are fighting to put a bad image for us, some of us have to stand up and react in a peaceful way and create a force against that, and spread the message and the

knowledge.”

The group hopes that they can help people both understand Islam better, and understand their own religion better through the open house.

He says it’s about getting people talking and being open to each other.

Khalil says the goal is to reach 7 million people across Canada. He says at the moment they have reached 1.3 million people so far.

He notes that it is a youth driven initiative, and he says that it is a point of pride to see the young people working towards this goal.

“It works both ways for us. We get the message across, and this is educational for our youth and important for their development as well,” he concludes.

The Commercial Crime and Fraud Sections with the Regina Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service, Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission and the RCMP have joined forces to promote March as Fraud Awareness Month (www.sacp.ca/fraudawareness) to Saskatchewan residents and consumers.

Public education and awareness is key in preventing and reducing the number of victims of fraud.

During the second week of Fraud Awareness Month, the fraudulent activity to be profiled is the computer virus scam, one of the top reported scams for 2011.

In this scam the fraudster, posing as a computer security employee allegedly representing a legitimate company, calls a person (victim) and tells them their computer is running slow or has viruses. They then offer to repair the computer over the Internet. The steps the fraudster has the victim take can involve the installation of software or even allowing the fraudster to remotely access their computer. The fraudster will often ask for payment for the software or repair service via credit card with the typical amount being between $ 200.00 - $300.00.

Downloading software provided by the fraudster and allowing a third party to install software or to remotely access your computer carries inherent risks. Keyloggers or other malicious software could be installed in order to capture sensitive data such as financial information, including online banking user names and passwords.

Personal information can also be obtained from your computer and make you vulnerable to identity fraud.

Another way that the fraudster can contact a potential victim is through Vishing. This involves the use of VoIP (Voice over Inter-

net Protocol), or phone service over the internet. A recorded message tells the potential victim their computer has a virus. The recorded message will also ask the victim to enter personal information and a credit card number, as VoIP recognizes telephone keystrokes. Once the fraudster has this information, you could become a victim of identity theft and fraud.

• The key to not becoming a victim is to just hang up.

• Be suspicious of any unsolicited calls where someone claims you have a computer security problem.

• The best way to protect your computer is to keep your anti-virus protection and other security software up to date.

• Never provide personal or financial information over the phone to an unsolicited caller.

• Be cautious and take steps to safely store personal and financial information on your computer.

In Canada, the police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (Phonebusters) have received 7,475 complaints regarding this scam over the past year. Over 1,000 people suffered a financial loss, with the total loss amounting to $303,913.93. In Saskatchewan, there have been 323 complaints involving 40 victims and a total loss of $11,599.84.

Fraud Awareness is part of a national crime prevention campaign to increase Canadians awareness of and knowledge about different types of fraud in order to help citizens to not become fraud victims.

RCMP Saskatchewan’s F Division Commercial Crime Section has offices in Regina and Saskatoon.

Their role is to reduce the impact of economic crime on Canadians by maintaining the integrity of our economy through public education, crime prevention, and enforcement.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 15, 2012 - Page 9A

Is your kitchen functional and inspiring?

Everyday we use our kitchen to prepare meals so it only makes sense that this area of your home should be functional and appealing if we expect to be successful. Is the environment welcoming?

Do you enjoy the atmosphere of your kitchen?

Let’s start by making some simple changes that do not have to be overly expensive. I encounter many situations with people wanting to improve areas of the culinary arts within their home kitchens and lifestyles, and the first and most easy step is removing clutter.

A cluttered work area is not inspiring. You need room to not only feel comfortable but also to provide yourself with adequate work space. It is nice to have objects in your kitchen that are of decorative value but make sure that these things are not taking over your kitchen. Keep them to a limit; enough to define you and your style, but not so many that this is all you see.

The next step is functionality. Keep one area cleared that will be always be used for a cutting board. This space should have easy accessibility to your knives and perhaps your sink and/or stovetop. Knives are best kept in a knife block where they can be simply removed and returned every time you use them.

If your counter space does not allow the room for a knife block in this preparation area you have chosen, then consider purchasing a magnetic knife strip that mounts on the wall. Another solution would be a knife holder that slides into a nearby drawer. The main thing to keep in mind is that knives should not be stored loose in a drawer.

This is not only dangerous but also detrimental to extending the life of the sharpness of the blades.

The next area to focus

LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER Sam Derkatch says his goal is to bring the past back to life with his photos, as he captures images of old and abandoned places and structures scattered throughout the area.

Chef Dez on Cooking

by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com on is the accessibility of other kitchen utensils and equipment. A canister with an assortment of wooden spoons, spatulas, and other tools works great. You don’t need to have every utensil you own in there, just the ones that you use the most. Where your pots and pans are stored is just as important. If you have the money and space, consider buying a hanging pot rack. This will not only make them more easily accessible but also provide protection to non-stick surfaces by not having them stacked on top of each other in a cupboard. Most pot racks also provide ample storage for lids on the surface above the hanging equipment. The other obvious added bonus of a pot rack is the sudden creation of extra cupboard space.

Other areas to consider for ease of use would be the accessibility of your spices and pantry. You may even want to revamp the state of your pantry and the food supply in your kitchen. Perhaps you have always wanted to have a pantry that is more focused on your favourite cuisines.

For example, someone who loves Italian and Greek cuisine would stock their pantry with varying types of olives, capers, tomatoes, grape leaves, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, etc. The refrigerator and freezer can also be coordinated to contain the perishables of the same cuisine. Motivation to focus more on cooking certain cuisines in your household will start with having the ingredients at

your fingertips. One can even take this to the extreme in organization by creating labels and segregating areas in your pantry for different food groupings.

Organizing or redecorating a space in your home will always entice you to spend more time in that area. You may want to even complete your kitchen transformation by having some kitchen art or framed posters that reflect the cuisine(s) you are interested in and/or the new theme to your kitchen.

This can also be taken to the extreme, if your budget allows, by refinishing the cupboards, buying new appliances, and adding a new coat of paint.

This amount of work however, is not mandatory for you to feel like your kitchen has become more of a special place.

Sometimes all it takes it a little extra lighting to create a more open and inviting space. Easy to install under-counter, wireless lights can now be found at very reasonable prices.

Now that we have your kitchen in a more workable inviting state, it’s time to get you inspired to do some cooking. The simplest of all culinary resolutions however is to blow some dust off your cookbooks and start making some new dishes.

Whether it is of small or large proportions, we all have collections of cookbooks… with many of them going unused.

Make it a goal in your home to open up a cookbook once or twice a week, and try a new recipe.

Happy Cooking!

Keeping the past alive

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Sam Derkatch says he’s trying to bring the past back to life. The Yorkton photographer, who has a new show at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery in the Serpentine Gallery, explores the countryside looking for lost and abandoned places, and captures them through his lens.

“In the past couple of years I’ve been taking an interest in our history... I like to bring it back, and show people where we come from, our history, whose backs our country was built on and how we came here. Bring a light

Help for those with disabilities Con’t from Page 1.

As the area grows and Yorkton becomes a more important regional centre, Sedley says it becomes more important to build subsidized housing.

Right now, the project is in need of funding, and they are looking at CMHC seed funding and things such as the Summit Action Plan. Sedley says that right now there needs to be investors, and at least $1 million in capital to get the project moving ahead. Sedley expects that the project will cost $5 million total.

“To make something really creative like this work, we need partnerships,” he says.

The project is at very early stages at the moment, and Sedley says that if all goes well he expects a two to three year timeline. He says it’s something they want to work on as soon as possible.

Encouraging responsibility

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Getting kids to drive safely and avoid drugs and alcohol behind the wheel is always a challenge. Ted Swan, who has been a paramedic for twenty-four years knows first hand the consequences of unsafe driving, and spoke to the kids of YRHS about what happens in an ambulance call, and how to change habits and avoid being in an accident that requires one.

Swan walked the students through stories of real accidents and the injuries that people sustained during them. He also described the way people are treated during a call, and the tools used to treat those people. The presentation ends on a positive note, telling the students how they can stand up and be responsible in their lives.

“That message is they have a choice, you can cave to peer pressure or can stand in the gap of integrity of the moment and begin to build character,” Swan says.

Part of the goal is to get kids thinking about all aspects of driving. While he says drinking and driving awareness is a huge part of the program, and a major problem. It’s also important to tackle other distractions kids have on the road, like texting, and get kids to drive more carefully in all aspects.

“I want to show them that when they’re

in a crash, it’s not just you and your family that are involved, it’s the tow truck driver, it’s the cleaning woman in the ER mopping up huge buckets of blood, it’s the guy who is washing those sheets... It affects a lot of people,” Swan says.

Speakers such has himself are a great opportunity for students, Swan says, and he says that everyone trying to get kids to be more responsible behind the wheel is doing a job that needs to be done.

“In eleven years my mantra has always been I just need one to think once and I’ve done my job. I know that I’ve touched a lot of people, it’s been tremendously rewarding doing this,” Swan says.

The start of Swan’s career as a speaker began after the release of The Fast and the Furious, and during that time he says they were losing a kid a week in the Richmond, BC area, as they tried to replicate the stunts and races in the film. He says he saw that something needed to be done to prevent these deaths. After speaking at a road safety forum, he began doing presentations to schools, and started as a ICBC Road Sense speaker. That has lead to speaking to students across Canada.

Swan says that while that was the start of his speaking career, he has been committed to road safety from a young age.

back to these old places,” Derkatch says.

The majority of the work is exploring the area around Yorkton, and Derkatch says that he would like to go explore further out in more places. He says he’s drawn to anywhere that has a bit of forgotten or abandoned history.

He says that it’s been something that has interested him since he was in school, and explored the area around where he lived. Once he developed an interest in photography, Derkatch says he thought he would capture the places he found and share them with others.

Some of his favorites, Derkatch says, are the abandoned churches and cemeteries. He says it’s because with his own religious background he feels a personal connection to the places.

“These people were part of who I am, part of my farming background,” Derkatch says.

He says that there have been many surprises in these places, like old toys and artwork.

“That stuff opens my eyes to who these people were who used to live here, and makes me wonder where have they gone or if there are any descendents still left,” Derkatch says.

He hopes that as people look at his images, they remember things from their own past, from their ancestors to the places from their childhood. He believes everyone can draw something from their own past from the images.

The show runs until April 13, admission is free.

When he was fifteen, he was part of a youth group, and three days before Christmas the leader of that group was killed by a drunk driver.

“Here I am, years down the road, twenty four years as a paramedic, and Christmas still has never been the same. Maybe that’s another part of why I do this, it’s certainly part of why I became a paramedic,” Swan says.

Currently on tour in Saskatchewan sponsored

by Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD), Swan says that the community spirit in the province is second to none.

“What a great bunch.

I’ve talked to these kids, and they don’t see themselves in the same light I see them. I actually find it really moving, I get tears in my eyes thinking about the huge leadership these kids are showing at a really young age...

And they don’t get it!

They’re really humble, they don’t see that they’re community leaders,

they’re making a difference in people lives, and they have no idea... I’m honored and humbled to be in their presence,” Swan says.

Portions have grown-up over the past decade! Did you know that just one bagel from the grocery store can equal up to four slices of bread, or that an average chicken breast is actually two meat servings?

It’s true. Over the years, our portions have become larger.

We now have options to upsize and it seems like portion sizes have grown out of proportion.

So how can you eat more and weigh less? It starts with watching portion sizes and balancing your meals for good health. And no, we don’t mean balancing food on your head,

Mils claim south semi-final series 4-1

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Yorkton Terrier fans were left in a daze as their team’s season ended not with a bang but rather with a whimper as the Melville Millionaires rebounded from their series opening loss to sweeping the next four games to claim a four games to one win in the best of seven games south semi-final series Friday night at the Farrell Agencies Arena.

Melville came in to game five with three consecutive one goal wins, one in overtime, one with a last minute goal and one with two goals scored in the final minute of play. Friday, the Mils capped the series with a decisive 7-3 triumph.

Wednesday night it looked like the Terriers, going into the final minute of play with a one goal edge, would tie the series at two games apiece. It wasn’t to be as the Mils scored two goals in the final minute of play to claim the one goal win and take a 3-1 lead in the series.

Brenden Poncelet gave the Terriers a one goal lead in the opening period with a goal just 14 minutes after the opening whistle assisted

by Riley Paterson.

Sean Aschim tied the game at one early in the second period.

Curtis Oliver scored the go-ahead goal for Yorkton on a powerplay assisted by Ryon Sookro and Chase Norrish.

Lucas Froese pulled the Millionaires even again late in the second period.

Brent Struble scored Yorkton’s third goal at 7:50 of the third period assisted

YORKTON TERRIERS salute their home town fans in farewell following their loss in the Sherwood Conference semi-final series to the Melville Millionaires.

by Devon McMullen and Norrish.

The game settled into a grinding battle. It looked like a Yorkton win until with fewer than 45 seconds left in regulation time, Ian McNulty tied the game for Melville.

While overtime didn’t guarantee a win, at least it provided some hope for Terrier fans. That is, until McNulty notched his second in less than one minute to clinch the 4-3 win for the Millionaires to hand the a 3-1 series margin going into Yorkton for Game 5.

Given the close results in

the last three games, fans expected the same outcome for either team Friday night at the Farrell Agencies Arena. Again, it wasn’t to be as the Millionaires jumped out to a two goal lead early in the game and added a third late in the first period.

Jess Mireau opened the scoring for Melville while Russell Trudeau added a couple of powerplay markers.

Zak Majkowski scored Yorkton’s opening goal, a powerplay goal, late in the first period assisted by Brady Norrish and Keven Cann.

Struble tied the game at

two briefly with Yorkton’s second powerplay marker assisted by Tyler Giebel and Norrish.

McNulty and Trudeau, scored for Melville in the second period. Trudeau’s goal was his third to complete his hat trick.

Michael Sagan and Colin Mospanchuk rounded out Millionaire scoring with a goal apiece in the final frame.

Struble notched his second goal of the game late in the period unassisted.

Outdoors expo first of its kind in Yorkton

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The inaugural Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo has to be the biggest event to hit the city in some time. Both local and visiting outdoors men and women, fishermen and hunters converged on the Gallagher Centre to take in an impressive set of exhibits, presentations, demonstrations and competi-

tions the like of which has never been seen in the city before.

The Flexihall offered visitors everything from a world record fish, to a world record deer, shed antlers competition, presentations by several top outdoors show personalities, firearms, archery equipment, hunting and fishing equipment, and even a motorized ice fishing shack in addition to a host of other displays.

Yorkton Sports Bank The Yorkton Sports Bank is accepting donations of all sports equipment.

Sports Bank Bins are located at the Gallagher Centre and City Hall main lobbies.

An equipment exchange will take place at the Spring Registration Night at the Gallagher Centre Wednesday, March 28.

For more information call Amber at 828-2401.

ORION TAXIDERMY OF MOOSE JAW specializes in booking and organizing hunting trips around the world in addition to preserving the trophies taken by the hunters. Ryan White of Orion Taxidermy books hunts through Orion Outdoors which sets up safaris and hunts for people from all over the world.

Outdoor Show and Expo president Darren Wandy was pleased with the early turnout and interest expressed by patrons coming through the gates.

Wandy says the event was hoping to draw about 5,000 to 6,000 people. At 10 a.m. Saturday some 1,500 people came through the door, Wandy reports which promised to exceed the committee’s projections.

In addition to two days of exhibits and competition in the Flexihall, the event saw a two day 3-D Archery shoot hosted by the Broken Arrow Archery Club in the Agripavilion.

A banquet featuring prominent outdoors men and women was also held at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre Saturday evening. Originally the organizers planned to limit banquet tickets to 300 persons. The problem with that number, says Wandy was that it was far too small. Once people learned that one of the guest speakers was to be Eva Schockey, ticket sales went crazy, he reports. “We sold out 532 tickets at St. Mary’s and could have easily sold another 500.”

Guest speakers at the expo and banquet included Eva Shockey who attracted so many outdoors persons. She is the daughter of legendary hunter, promoter, outfitter Jim Shockey.

Cody Robbins and Kelsey Claypool from the television series Live to Hunt were on hand.

Dean Partridge from Canadian Whitetail Television as well as Jason Peterson from Hunting Canada and Beyond were also on hand.

Chad Morris from Men Outdoors, an online forum for hunters met and chatted with show patrons.

Hunting is a family affair for Eva Shockey’s family

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Outdoors woman and hunter Eva Shockey, daughter of Jim Shockey, world renowned hunter and producer of Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures and Jim Shockey’s The Professionals, was one of the main draws at the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo over the weekend. Eva, an avid hunter herself, currently cohosts Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures with her dad.

Shockey says she grew up taking part in all the hunting trips. She didn’t start shooting herself until she turned 20 four years ago. She now takes a more active part in the hunts as well as simply helping with the tracking and dressing of the animals. “It’s fun being on both sides of it,” she comments.

In addition to cohosting the television show, Shockey conducts speaking engagements for about four months at the beginning of every year. She also delivers seminars and attend trade shows to sell merchandise or do whatever show organizers require of her.

Hunting is a family affair

for Shockey and her family.

“That’s why we all got into it and got involved. That’s why we love it. We get to spend time with our family. The outdoors is a big thing. I’ve always loved the outdoors because of what we do,” Shockey explains.

She also enjoys the travel associated with hunting and her work. “We travel a lot for what we do. I’ve seen a lot of the world because of my dad’s job which is now my job,” she adds.

Shockey adds she enjoys the industry. “People are wonderful. Everyone’s so accepting and happy to be around and enjoy it with the same passion. For me that’s kind of what it’s all about,” she suggests.

She recalls her favorite hunt took place in the Yukon. “You fly two and a half hours out by float plane from the closest harbour. You’re dropped off in the middle of nowhere on a lake. You stay there for two weeks without showers or running water or anything.

You hike up mountains everyday. You cook your own meals.

You get your water from the little rivers and streams.

That’s by far the best because

they have monster moose and monster caribou and it’s all worth it,” Shockey recounts.

She admits she enjoys the total outdoor experience as much as the hunt. “I wouldn’t want to shoot an animal if I didn’t have sort of a lead up to it because, to me, that’s all part of the whole journey. I could never personally just jump out of a car and shoot because I like the hiking, travel and the adventure before the actual animal dies.

To me that’s what a hunt’s all about, the whole journey from start to finish, Shockey states.

Her favorite trophy was a whitetail deer, she shot around Asquith where the family has a ranch. She watched and tracked the animal for three years before shooting it. “For me that was really cool because we worked so hard to get it, Shockey recalls.

Shockey plans to continue in the industry for the foreseeable future. “Once you’re part of this industry, it’s pretty much impossible to get out of it. She’s liked to see all the COHOST OF JIM SHOCKEY’S HUNTING ADVENTURES Eva young hunters come out. “It’s a good placed to be,” she clos- Shockey was on hand to share her experiences in the outdoors and promote hunting among young people. es.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 15, 2012 - Page 15A

Outgoing Harvest president reflects on season

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Speaking at the recent Yorkton Harvest awards ceremony and banquet outgoing president Garth Simms says he might have been happier with more wins and making the playoffs.

The majority of the team were young, just 15 and 16 years old, which means many will be eligible to return next year. Some may move up to play junior hockey.

The team also had a first year coach.

With a year of experience for both team and coach, Simms predicts a more positive season next year.

He points out that Kailum Gervais moved up to the Terriers this year while Blake McMillen, Dakota Odgers, Tanner LeSann and Josh Lees all got some playing time in junior A hockey in the SJHL. “I think you’ll see several of our 17 year olds in the SJHL next year and some of our younger guys are going to get long,

hard look by teams in the WHL,” Simms predicts.

The Harvest are in the business of developing players and will wish those players moving up well. The club will also welcome back any returning veterans, next year.

In addition to commenting on the past season, Simms took the opportunity to thank all the volunteers, billets, board members, team supporters and coaching staff, as well the players for their contributions to the team and its season.

While Simms is stepping down after two years as club president, he still has one term remaining on the board.

After spending almost every day at the rink, He’d like to find some time to do things away from the rink. He has worked as a volunteer and board member for 12 years and has no plans to stop going to the arena. “My dad’s 85 years old and he still goes to the rink most every day and I can’t see myself being any different,” Simms closes.

THE 2011-12 YOKRTON HARVEST TEAM includes (in random order) Teryn Phaneuf, Kody Thue, Blake McMillen, Yanni Mamais, Josh Odelein, Landon Nichol, Devin McGonigal, Nicholas Pouliot, Tanner LeSann, Brodie Schuette, Brayden Park, Josh Lees, Dakota Odgers, Brandon Kayter, Lynnden Pastachak, Jake McMillen, Levi Morin, Jaden Kreklewich, Jeffrey Ness, Spencer Bomboir, Taylor Clark.

Yorkton Harvest celebrate season’s top performers

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Harvest Hockey Club wrapped up the past season with an awards banquet and ceremony at the Gallagher Centre Sunday afternoon.

Harvest head coach Jeff Odgers echoed president Garth Simms appreciation of everyone who helped the club with the past season.

Odgers says it was an interesting season despite missing the playoffs which were a team goal. He says he knew he had a young team and there were likely to be some mistakes. At one point he thought the team was starting to come along well after the new year.

Losing Kailum Gervais to the Terriers was hard on the team. “He was a leader and playing pretty well for us,” Odgers admits.

Other trials along the way included Jake McMillen breaking his collar bone which took out one of the team’s top two forwards.

Odgers lists the players who moved up to play in the SJHL, including Cody Thue, Tanner

LeSann, Dakota Odgers, a n d Blake McMillen. Dakota also got a chance to play a game in the WHL. “I think we have a lot of guys on our roster who are going to be protected and are going to have a chance to move on. As a coach you look at that,” he suggests.

In his first year in the SMAAAHL Odgers says he has learned a lot and will make adjustments and do differently next year. “I’m looking forward to that,” he states.

The Harvest stands to lose five defensemen.

Only Brayden Park will be eligible to return if he doesn’t make the jump to junior hockey, says Odgers.

Up front there will be possibly four spots open up. “We’re going to have some spots open for training camp,” he notes.

At camp Odgers says he’ll be looking for players who want to compete, play hockey and want to be a Yorkton Harvest member. The biggest thing to him is finding players who want to live in Yorkton and be part of the team along with some skill, he closes.

Harvest 2012 team awards were presented to: Tanner Lesann, Top Scorer, Allan Harrison Memorial Trophy; Dakota Odgers, Most Dedicated Player, Doug Hansen Memorial Trophy; Josh Lees, Leadership Award, Joel Dennis Memorial Trophy; Spencer Bomboir and Taryn Phaneuf, top goaltenders, Reg Kachanowski Memorial Trophy; Josh Lees, Team MVP, Cambrian Cup of Excellence.

Performance awards (Sponsors named in parenthesis) were also presented to: Brayden Parks, Top Defenseman (McDonalds); Dakota Odgers, Top Forward (A&W); Lynnden Pastachak, Rookie of the Year (Norm Lutcher); Nicholas Pouliot, Most Improved Player (GX 94); Dakota Odgers, YRHS Scholastic Award (YRHS); Kody Thue, SHHS Scholastic Award (SHHS); Jeffrey Ness, Sportmanship Award (Source Embroidery); Jake McMillen, Hard Luck Award (Hometown Cycle); Jaden Krekle wich, Unsung Hero Award (Park’s Jewellery); Levi Morin, Coaches Choice Award (Wayne Henley).

World record buck on display at outdoor show

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer One of the world record trophies on display at the recent Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo was the Hanson buck. The world record buck shot by Milo Hanson in 1993 sported a huge rack measuring 220 7/8 which was declared to be a world record size two years later. The typical whitetail deer trophy was taken just off Hanson’s farm about seven miles northeast of Biggar, Saskatchewan.

Hanson says he knew the buck was in the area from reports of others who had seen it. Hanson himself hadn’t seen the animal until he actually brought it down. “Anybody that had seen him said it looked like he had a rocking chair on his head,” Hanson claims.

He and his hunting partners went looking for the buck on the

opening day of the hunting season but couldn’t find the elusive buck. Hanson and a friend tried again Thursday of the same week but unsuccessful again, losing the buck in the maze of tracks in the field.

The weather turned cold and it snowed over the following weekend. Tuesday Hanson and his party of four hunters spotted the buck. Fresh snow made it possible to track the animal.

“He came out my side and I was the lucky gut to be able to harvest him,” Hanson reports. He admits it was a group effort.

Hanson shot the buck with his .308 model 88 Winchester.

He says he knew he had a trophy but he didn’t know it was a world record trophy. “I didn’t know what the world record was,” he admits.

They took the buck home, hung it up in the shop and returned to the hunt to fill the

doe tags held by his hunting companions. When word spread about Hanson’s trophy head, his yard filled with half tons as everyone in the Biggar area came out to look at the huge animal.

Hanson had the buck measured for the local club. The measurer, Adam Evashenko, suggested the rack might be a world record size. Hanson was content at the time to claim the local trophy, but at Evashenko’s urging he submitted the measurement for a try at the world record which was awarded in 1995.

Hanson continues to hunt three weeks every year. “I don’t go all over the world trying to hunt but just in our local area.

Nothing has changed. I still hunt with the same guys and still get excited,” he says. “As long as I get excited, that’s all that counts,” Hanson closes.

FARMER AND HUNTER from the Biggar area, Milo Hanson, bagged the world record whitetail deer not far from his farm northeast of Biggar, Saskatchewan.

Local archery club hosts 3-D shoot at outdoor expo

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer

LOCAL JUNIOR ARCHER Chet Airth from Yorkton retrieves his arrow at the 3-D shoot held in conjunction with the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo.

The Broken Arrow Archery Club hosted a two day 3-D shoot in conjunction with the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo over the weekend. The two day event featured about 180 competitors from around the province as well as local archers. says shoot coordinator Alan Bohn of Country Taxidermy who is also a member of the host archery club.

It’s an open shoot which means anyone can shoot any type of archery equipment including long bows, recurves or compound bows, Bohn explains.

The 3-D shoot offers foam animal targets ranging from skunks to caribou, Bohn reports.

The competition has archers shoot two rounds of 20 targets for a total of 40 arrows. Targets have scoring rings ranging from five to 11 points depending on the size of the rings. A miss is

a zero. Competitors have score cards to mark their tally. The highest score wins. The top three scores win medals, Bohn explains.

The shoot has several classes. The open class is for unlimited equipment.

Shooters can use telescopic sights.

The bow hunter release class is a little more restricted. In addition there is hunter class, traditional class and the junior classes, Bohn lists.

The Broken Arrow Archery Club also hosts an outdoor summer shoot the first weekend of June at the Country Taxidermy acreage.

The club was very happy with the turnout, says Bohn. There were a lot of spectators who didn’t know what 3-D shoots involved and a few were interested in trying the sport, he reports.

Anyone who’d like to try archery or join the local club can talk to Mike Jarvis at Bird Dog Archery or Alan Bohn at Country Taxidermy at 7826994.

World of Whitetail supports youth archery programs

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer One of the organizations at this year’s Parkland Outdoor Show and expo, The World of Whitetail, is closely associated with youth archery.

Greg Mallett says the organization has done a lot of sponsorship in the Yorkton area with the National Archery in the Schools Programs (NASP). The World of Whitetail sent young local archers to a North

American archery shoot in Kentucky and again sponsored the same youth to the world archery championships in Florida. “Those two sponsorships were in the range of about $10,000,” Mallet reports.

As well the organization has been supplying archery kits to schools around the province for the NASP programs, Mallett adds. “Every year we have been putting about $20,000 or more into the NASP programs,” he continues.

The primary goals and objectives of the World of Whitetail are similar to those of the wildlife federation, Mallet states.

The organization works to promote good relationships with landowners for hunting purposes and to sponsor youth interest in the outdoors.

They put a lot of money into the wildlife federation’s conservation programs. “Every year it’s been in the range of $10,000,” Mallett points out.

Recently the organiza-

tion donated $3,000 to the Regina biathlon youth club to help the club meet its goals and to assist with travel to various shoots.

The World of Whitetail is always open to groups requesting sponsorship, Mallet says.

In addition the World of Whitetail has sponsored the Saskatchewan conservation officers program called Hooked on Fishing not on Drugs.

They take youth on fishing expeditions. “Every year we give them $2,000 or $3,000 to help promote their programs,” Mallett closes.

GREG MALLET explains World of Whitetail programs.

For the past 35 years, the Saskatchewan Junior Citizen program has been recognizing the outstanding youth of Saskatchewan.

This year four deserving youth, aged between 8 and 18 years old, will receive $3000 bursaries to help pay for their future post-secondary education.

Local jr. bowlers Sask. medalists

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Six youth bowlers from the Yorkton Bowl Arena recently captured medals in a provincial bowling tournament at Saskatoon.

Amanda Krochak claimed a bronze medal in senior girls’ singles.

Cody Bencze, Michael Procyshen, Ryan Lebo and Derek Marshall teamed up to win a bronze medal in senior boys’ team bowling.

Ashley Schrader took the title in the bantam girls’ division with her gold medal winning performance which included five consecutive strikes in her Game high 288 score.

Colleen Haider of the Yorkton Bowl Arena reports that Schrader’s

win has advanced her to the national championship tournament in St. John’s Newfoundland during the first week in May. Schrader topped competitors from five other zones in the Saskatchewan to claim the provincial title, Haider notes.

Schrader says she has been bowling for five years. She says she was encouraged by her dad and her mom who was a bowler.

Schrader admits she was excited by her win as it marked her first time she would bowl in national competition.

She’ll be in St. John’s for six days, accompanied by her parents.

Her goal is to return with a trophy and a banner.

THE YORKTON REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (YRHS) Wrestling team travelled to Prince Albert to compete in the regional tournament hosted by P.A. St. Mary’s High School. The wrestlers who placed in the top 4 of their weight class move on to provincials in Regina. The YRHS team did very well with three out of the five athletes advancing to provincial competition. Dwayne Sangwais placed fifth, and Alex Redwood placed seventh while Noah Misener and Robert Schuster took fourth. Jessica Riffel won first in her division.

Show/Expo funds local youth archery NURSERY • GARDEN CENTRE GROCERY STORE Hwy. #9 North, Yorkton, SK. 783-8660

Continued from Page 13.

Local area speakers included Riley Ottenbreit from Grayson who talked about shed hunting. Nolan Johnson, an international archer from the YorktonMelville area talked about his sport and where archery can talk youth throughout the world. Phil Pajkowski from Roblin has fished the Lake of the Prairies for over 30 years and is currently an ice fishing guide at the lake. He had over 300 people listen to him speak. The local speakers also did an awesome job with their presentations, Wandy states.

Commercial exhibits included everything from folks selling spices and Tupperware to all the commercial hunting and fishing supplies. Commercial exhibitors included local businesses as well as several visiting product salespeople from out of town, Wandy reports.

The show and exposition were organized as a major fund raiser to support youth archery programs in Yorkton and area, Wandy explains. Additionally, as an avid outdoorsman, outdoor activities are also his passion. The idea was to take his affinity for the outdoors and wed it with the youth archery program he essentially initiated in the area and the province to the mutual benefit of both activities. The money raised will help to ensure such programs are available in the area.

Wandy says the success of the event this year has encouraged the committee to stage a bigger and better show and expo next year.

He acknowledges the support of Doug Arnett at Yorkton Dodge and Home Hardware. “These are their people. These are the people they sell products to,”Wandy notes.

He also thanks all the supporters, both businesses and individuals, of the event.

Many of the exhibitors on hand this year have expressed a strong interest in returning. “We’re hoping it explodes and is even bigger next year,” Wandy closes.

Terriers never quit

Unfortunately Melville’s lead had become insurmountable in the time remaining in the game.

Yorkton Terrier head coach Trent Cassan says the Terriers always battled all year long and never showed any desire to quit. In this case losing three games either in overtime or in the last minute was just too much to overcome in the end, he suggests.

Powerplays played a big part in the game, Cassan says. The powerplay was what got the Terriers back into the game and penalties were what allowed Melville to take over the game, he explains. “Sometimes you live and die by specialty teams and it obviously hurt us a bit tonight,” he adds.

Cassan doesn’t blame his goal tender Dawson McAulay for the previous loss in Melville. He says McAulay was composed and played well.

The two last minute goals were the result of a breakdown in front of him rather that a reflection of his performance.

Despite the final score Friday, Cassan feels both netminders battled hard in the game.

Cassan says he noticed something in the second period he hasn’t seen all year. Some players appeared to start to panic, causing him to call a time out to settle things down. He believes the panic set in, “Because they cared so much that the guys were almost trying to do too much and putting too much on themselves.”

He credits the Millionaires top line of stepping up and playing a great game.

Possibly the biggest factor to hurt the Terriers the most in the series was simply mistakes at key times, Cassan states.

He says Struble, a big force all season long, has been an awesome Terrier for the past three years.

“He’s one of the better players and good kid that I’ve had to coach here in my time,” Cassan claims.

He also praises Riley Patterson and Kelly Lessmeister as being very big parts of the Terriers success as well as playing big roles in the community over their years with the team. They provide very good leadership. “Riley’s a very solid captain, always reliable,” Cassan

Sunset Jamaica

declares.

He admits he’s sad to see the graduating players go, but at the same time he says he’s very proud of them.
