Budget stays on path of growth Good for the city: Ottenbreit

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The theme of the provincial budget for 201415 is steady growth, and Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit says that overall, it’s a good one for residents in the city.

For the Yorkton area, one of the big projects is the $4.5 million directed towards the Parkland College’s Trades and Technology Center. This portion of the planned $10 million government commitment will cover the first year of construction, coming after $1 million last year that was used in the planning process. Ottenbreit says that the remainder is coming in 2015, and that the rest of the money could potentially come sooner if construction goes ahead of schedule.

Students will also see immediate benefits, with the Graduate Retention Program get-

ting additional funds, and Ottenbreit says it’s because there has been a great uptake in the program and the need to increase the budget shows that more students are staying within the province.

On the other end of the age spectrum, there will be an increase in funding for pre-Kindergarten programming in the province, with $1.2 million being spent on the province’s youngest students.

Health is another highlight, he adds. The overall healthcare budget has increased by $144 million, for a total of over $5 billion spent in the province, and that will have direct benefits for the area.

Some new regional initiatives will also show benefits for Yorkton. These include a new Collaborative Emergency Center that has been announced for Canora.

Doctor numbers are on the rise

By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer It’s a problem that has been lingering not just in Saskatchewan but across the nation, fortunately, according to the numbers though, change is in the works and the situation is turning around.

Ed Mantler, CEO of Saskdocs, a major physician recruitment and retention organization for the province, made a Yorkton stop last week and took the time to sit down with The News Review to discuss both the challenges and successes that are happening.

Saskdocs became operational in 2011 as an initiative of the provincial government.

“If you’ve been in Saskatchewan for any length of time you know that having the right number of doctors in rural communities has been a decades old challenge. It’s not only a challenge in Saskatchewan, but across Canada and even around the world.

TRIP TO HAWAII – It might be cold outside, but it was warm in this Kindergarten class at St. Michaels School, as they took a trip to Hawaii. The class learned about all aspects of travel, from getting passports, booking flights and hotels, and the culture and activities of Hawaii as part of this year’s curriculum, which uses vacations to illustrate the different things children need to learn.

Five of the centers will be built around the province, and emergency patients will be directed towards the health professional that meets their need, whether that’s a nurse practitioner, doctor, or who else might be able to assist the patient. While the benefits are most immediate to those who live in Canora, as they will have emergency services in town, those benefits will extend to the entire region, as emergency capacity increases and is spread out.

“It will take some of the load off the region, with people from that area having targeted healthcare.”

Other programs, such as the Senior’s Income Plan, the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disabilities Plan, the Personal Care Home benefit and funds for community based organizations all also received funding increases. Ottenbreit says that continuing to increase support to those programs is a priority. “Things like that are really going to help people locally.”

Municipal revenue sharing is an additional area where the region will benefit from the budget. The local MLA notes that the amount that Yorkton receives has gone from $1 million to over $3 million over the past seven years.

“That speaks well for the overall investment in infrastructure and what can be done locally... Cities for the most part had to apply for specific funding for specific projects, and we just thought this was a more efficient way to put money in the hands of the cities and let them use money how they saw fit.”

As can be expected, the official opposition’s reaction to the budget has been largely negative, focusing on areas where they believe funding should have been increased.

Ottenbreit says that while no government is perfect, the path that the Saskatchewan party has been taking has been positive. “You have to make some tough choices, especially in a budget like this that has no increases so that you can still deliver those services. The people of the province are a lot better off than they were in 2007, and that’s what I go by.”

Overall, Ottenbreit believes the budget is a success, and what the province needs right now as it faces the challenges of growth.

“In this budget we see it’s a balanced budget, there’s no tax increases, there’s actually decreased spending, there’s a large investment in infrastructure which is needed for a strong economy, and we continue to invest in people, and it shows that overall people’s lives are getting better.”

THE YORKTON KIDS EXPO saw many activities for the city’s youngest citizens.

Snowfall takes toll on the budget, project planned

By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer Another financial year has wrapped up for the City of Yorkton, coming to a close with some good news and not so good news.

While revenues were greater that anticipated, weighing in at $419,282, Lonnie Kaal, the city’s Director of Finance, says snow fall levels took a huge toll on the 2013 budget.

Administration allocated $500,000 for snowfall removal but expenditures wound up at a whopping $875,000.

“Snow removal costs are the highest in history...”

“In prior years, the City has transferred half of any department’s savings into a reserve for future capital expenditures,” says Kaal.

“Unfortunately, in 2013, there are no departmental surpluses to be allocated.”

While the transferring of funds “brings the books to zero” Kaal says administration believes the city is heading into 2014 in sound financial shape.

Full details will be posted on the city’s web-

site at: www.yorkton. ca.

A number of projects are in the works for 2014, including the development and improvement of the problematic intersection at Highway 9, Hamilton Road and 7th Avenue.

Designed too tight for semi trucks and traffic, the location is slated for a nearly $500,000 upgrade that will include new traffic lighting, an extra turning lane and traffic islands.

The project is expected to take about three months to complete.

Library brims with activity

NEW FIRE CHIEF – Trevor Morrissey (left) is the new Fire Chief for the City of Yorkton, seen here accepting congratulations from Mayor Bob Maloney. Morrissey says that his goals as chief will be to advocate for the citizens of the city, as well as to put fire prevention and public safety at the forefront. “My own theory is that we would rather prevent than respond, and that will be our theme moving forward,” he says. Before accepting the new position, Morrissey had been a Deputy Chief since 2009.

Doc numbers on the rise Con’t from Page 1.

“So our agency was struck to work with health regions to coordinate and enhance the work of local recruiters and to create new work to attract doctors to Saskatchewan, especially in rural communities, and to retain those doctors.”

Since 2011 Mantler says a number of initiatives have been undertaken and now the results are beginning to come to fruition.

While he admits there is still work to be done, he says, “we’ve got more doctors than ever before across the province, including in the Sunrise Health Region.”

Since the organization’s inception, the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan has increased in size and in the number of seats it’s able to offer. This was good news for the province says Mantler. The key though, he adds, is to figure out how to keep the graduating doctors in Saskatchewan.

“About 50 per cent or so, we’re leaving... we’ve put a number of initiatives in place to help boost that retention.”

Part of that is creating an awareness and a bridge between graduates and health regions, building relationships and showing opportunities.

“The group that graduated last year (unofficially) the number show that about 65 per cent stayed in Saskatchewan and are practicing here today so that’s a nice increase.

“A big part of it is to ensure that as students and as residents they

have frequent and positive exposure to the benefits of rural practice...”

Programs are now in place to help this happen.

Bursaries are another important component. “It’s very, very expensive to go to medical school and many students have a heavy debt load so we help them out by reducing student loan interest... we’ve also got an initiative for recent graduates who are staying in the province to get financial assistance at the end of each year... if they stay and practice over the course of five years, they can get $120,000...”

With that said, Mantler points out, even if the province was able to retain every single graduate, there would still be shortages, thus the need to look at broader horizons as well.

Saskatchewan is home to a unique program that accesses internationally trained physicians, some of whom already reside in Canada but haven’t been able to begin practicing due to “red tape.”

The SIPPA program (Saskatchewan International Physician

Practice Assessment) program accesses up to 90 candidates per year, about 75 per cent of whom are successful in passing.

There are measures in place to encourage these doctors to stay in Saskatchewan as well.

“Historically we’ve done a poor job at keeping our doctors in rural areas... So we’ve put some real concerted energy into trying to understand what motivates doctors to select where they’re going to practice and what motivates them to stay.”

Through surveys and studies it’s been determined number one on the list is work/life balance, followed by employment for the spouse or partner and then integration of the physician and family into the community.

“We’ve put together sort of a handbook of best practices...”

Currently, says Mantler, the Sunrise Health Region is reporting that is the best resourced it has ever been with a plan in place for more doctors to get established this spring and summer.

“The ultimate goal is appropriate, quality access to health care for the citizens of Saskatchewan...”

Since it was rebuilt after flooding in 2011, the Yorkton Public Library is coming to life and changing with the times.

During the presentation of an annual report to Yorkton City Council Monday evening Sandra MacColl, Chair of the Library Board said the location is literally humming with a constant buzz of activity as the board and staff transition it from a place of “just books” to a more modern gathering place for families, seniors and individuals.

“That was our goal,” says McColl, “and we’re seeing that happen. It’s amazing.”

Aside from the book lending of earlier days (which still continues), the library is home to a large database filled with print, dvd’s, electronic video streaming capability an art venue and meeting rooms which host a variety of program-

ming.

The Yorkton Writer’s Alliance meets regularly at the local location, as does the Geneological Society among other groups that include: bridge players, gamers, a chess group and breastfeeding support. Seminars and workshops are also offered regularly at the library covering topics on everything from financial planning, to ereading, to support for those living in abusive situations.

Programming for children is also a large part of what the library is involved in providing the community. From puppet shows, to crafts, to reading, there is always activities on the go.

“Numbers (of visitors and participants) are going up,” says MacColl, adding the library is a big resource for the community. She also says she is grateful the city chooses to support its endeavours and she looks forward to continued growth and change.

Way to go local volunteers!

April 6-12 is National Volunteer Week and at Monday evening’s meeting of City Council, council opted to follow suit and proclaim the week in Yorkton as well.

“Volunteering is part of our identity as Canadians,” spoke Lisa Washington, Community Development Manager to council. “We value civic participation and embrace a spirit of community.

The tremendous efforts of our 13.3 million volunteers help make Canada a vibrant, safe place to call home.”

And that they do. We see them in every area of the community working tirelessly without asking anything in return to help others. Yorkton would not be the community it is without them.

“Across the country (and in Yorkton), Canadians are getting involved and leading positive change in a variety of ways, all of them vital – from quick bursts of mobile volunteering on smartphones to front-line disaster relief efforts overseas. The work of volunteers is essential to maintaining healthy, vibrant communities at home and around the world. National Volunteer Week is all about taking the time to recognize the incredible contributions of Canada’s volunteers and letting them know how much their efforts are appreciated.

In Yorkton we see volunteers mentoring our children, feeding our hungry, comforting our lonely and fundraising. The operate and support our recreation activities, sport activities and cultural events. They advise, consult and govern many small and large organizations. They are young, they are old, they are families, workers, retirees, men and women of all ages and backgrounds. It’s because of their efforts that Yorkton is a more desirable place to live, work and play.

With that in mind, we at The News Review send out a HUGE thank you for a job well done and for your caring, community minded attitudes. As well, we hope the whole city will join us in celebrating your efforts this week and beyond.

So long Redford, you will not be missed The way I see it...

She is CLEARLY taking advantage of the system and of the taxpayers that depend on her for honest and loyal leadership so YES, in answer to the question being posed by Canadians as of late – “Should Alberta’s premier Alison Redford resign?” Absolutely in my eyes. Reportedly stories came to light back in December of 2013 of Redford’s “misuse” of public funds and they didn’t stop flowing right up until she announced her resignation on March 19 – this month.

To provide a brief sampling of what has been so upsetting to taxpayers in case you haven’t been privy to the full details, take a look at the following: • Dec. 10, 2013: Redford and an aide attend the memorial for former South African president Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg. She travels with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s delegation, but it is later revealed she spent $45,000 to get to Ottawa on a government plane... Nova Scotia’s premier made the trip for under $1,000.

• Feb. 6, 2014: Redford eventually apologizes but refuses to pay the money back.

• Feb. 19: Government records say Redford’s executive assistant is billing Alberta taxpayers to stay in Edmonton’s ritziest hotels. Travel receipts posted online

indicate Brad Stables has spent more than $9,000 to stay 42 nights at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald since he assumed the job last spring.

• Feb. 28: Redford faces accusations of extravagant travel over a government home from Palm Shannon Deveau flight Springs... The cost of flying the government plane was $9,200.

• March 4: Redford reveals that in the last year and a half she has flown her daughter Sarah and the girl’s friends around on a government aircraft to the tune of about $3,100. With that she says policies need to be reviewed to better accommodate her family.

• March 7: Redford’s office says it will use $300,000 of a $1.2-million boost in its annual budget to hire more letter writers.

• March 11: Redford faces accusations she used a government plane for a party fundraiser in Grande Prairie.

• March 12: Redford tries to stem the caucus revolt by agreeing to pay back the $45,000 spent to fly to South Africa.

March 19 she announces her resignation. I say adios and good riddance! Canada does not need dishonest and greedy leadership like this. Stop questioning her decision and carry on!

Column

Windows XP was good enough, but now it is not Windows XP is dead, or at least it will be dead at the beginning of next month. For many years, it was the operating system the majority of the population used, and even today there are a large number of businesses and private consumers that still use it. With the end of support, these users should probably upgrade to something a bit newer, if only for security reasons, but I can understand why they haven’t. It’s something I call the good enough theory of design.

The good enough theory is built on the idea that something doesn’t have to be the best possible solution for a problem, it just has to work. In short, it must be good enough, a totally functional way to accomplish whatever goals you might have for the product you use. Windows XP itself is the poster child for the theory. It wasn’t always the most secure system, though a steady flow of patches, updates and service packs would serve to make it a totally functional system for most users. It was not always stable and there were plenty of flaws in the code. However, at the end of the day, for the majority of people, it was good enough. Whatever flaws there might have been, they were not enough to actually make things difficult for the end user, and since the system mostly worked for most of the user base, it became incredibly popular. It was good enough.

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger It’s a theory that applies to most things in life, solutions that are inelegant or awkward tend to be used because they’re functional, and they tend to continue to be used because everyone knows them and there’s no real reason to change things around. A new system represents a risk, not everyone will know it and it’s not the trusted way that everyone has been comfortable with over the past several decades. The old ways work, we know they work and even if it’s not the best way to things it’s still the way everyone knows. For someone new just learning their way around a system, it can seem bizarre or obtuse, but there’s little incentive to change if something is good enough.

Take my house, for example. The door to the basement is slightly larger than the door frame to the basement. In order to keep it closed and keep the cat out, it’s held shut by a small hook. It’s a terrible system, and extremely awkward when hauling laundry down the steps. It also keeps the door closed, so there is very little incentive to find the tools and do the work to make the door fit properly. It is, in short, good enough, and while others might find the setup insane, it does what I need it to do.

The problem with XP, and the problem for the millions of people who currently use it, is that it is no longer good enough. It still works, of course, but now that it’s not supported it’s also inviting new problems for the many people who use it daily. That is likely the reason why support was dropped in the first place, Microsoft itself is sick of doing updates to an old system it has not actually sold in years, and those updates are the only thing between users and the people constantly poking at the holes in the code.

However, since it was good enough for so many people for so long, it’s going to be interesting to see just how people react to having to upgrade, change systems and adapt to a world where the thing they are used to, and the thing that has been good enough for so long, ceases to be good enough.

Your letter of the Week

It’s a pretext to avoid reality

More of a curse than a blessing

To the Editor: Many media commentators have responded to the possibility of a Parti Quebecois victory on April 7th with heartfelt ambivalence bordering on indifference.

Rex Murphy, for instance, observed that separatism “has lost its driving power in many Canadian hearts.” Citizens “no longer see it as their responsibility to placate Quebec.” The anxieties of Quebec have become a bit of a bore.

A little over 20 years ago David Bercuson and I wrote a book, Deconfederation: Canada without Quebec. It sold rather well.

We looked at all the phony grievances, and all the preposterous demands. We looked at the separation costs to Quebec – no more supply management and price supports for cheese; mindless transfer payments replaced with foreign aid targeted to serve Canada’s interests, and so on.

We looked especially hard at the question of pre-Clarity Act negotiations. The last words in our book summed it up: Bon voyage et bonne chance. Good-bye and good luck.

Lately our arguments and conclusions have reappeared, most recently by Conrad Black in the National Post. If Quebec can leave Canada, he wrote, then federalist parts can leave Quebec. As Black wrote, correctly, “Canada would be better off” without the

hard-core separatists, around three or four million persons huddled along the St. Lawrence. Who needs them?

So when Quebec Premier Pauline Marois tried to soothe Canadians by telling us, “don’t be afraid” of Quebec sovereignty, she simply showed how out of touch Quebec politicians have become.

Separation without tears and without borders? What planet does she live on?

Yet, the PQ does have a strategy. It even makes sense if you live in a world where things like debtto-GDP ratios don’t exist and Canadian fears do.

Go back to 1995. After barely losing the referendum, Jacques Parizeau blamed the loss on “the ethnic vote and money.” The ethnics he had in mind were everyone but the “old-stock” French Quebecers. And “money” referred to big business, of course, but it was also taken to be code for the Jewish vote.

Madame Marois recently maintained that the PQ was not antiSemitic. Good to know. Now Jewish voters are assimilated into “ethnics,” which brings us to the Quebec Charter of Values.

In light of Parizeau’s vision, the charter is designed to marginalize “ethnics” and thereby consolidate “us” as Parizeau called oldstock Quebecers. So much for the pretense of “civic nationalism” in the province. The PQ appeal is as tribal as that of any imaginary

ethnics.

When the charter is passed it will be challenged in the courts and eventually struck down, which is why the PQ designed it that way. Once again, Canadian institutions will have thwarted Quebec aspirations. Here is the dream of “winning conditions.”

That takes care of the ethnic problem. Now about the money.

Enter Pierre Karl Peladeau, who both “wants Quebec to become a country” and bragged that “several entrepreneurs are proud of my candidacy.” But as columnist Andrew Coyne pointed out, PKP practices the crony capitalism characteristic of Quebec Inc., which is supported by the genuinely productive parts of the country. He is less an entrepreneur than a Russian-style oligarch.

For Canadians who have long since lost interest in the petty problems of Quebec politicians, the whole sovereignty issue is one of pathological evasion and malingering. Separatists are akin to superficial lovers who constantly invent obstacles because they know that the moment they are temporarily overcome they have no idea what to do next.

All that remains of a sadly neglected idealism is their bad manners. Today separatism is without substance, a mere pretext to avoid reality.

Weaker loonie hurts Canadians more

To the Editor:

The negative impact of a weaker loonie will likely outweigh any benefits.

This week the Canadian dollar dropped below 90 cents US. Good news, say some economists, for the Canadian economy.

Not so though.

It’s a myth that devaluation of the Canadian dollar broadly stimulates the economy and leads to prosperity. In fact, a weaker loonie triggers higher domestic prices, which hit consumers in the wallet, and higher importing and financing costs, which hurt businesses and government,” said Cross, in his analysis Economic Consequences of the Lower Canadian Dollar.

For example, certain commodities – gasoline, for example – are priced in U.S. dollars. So when the loonie drops, people pay more at the pumps.

The cost of doing business will also increase.

Canadian businesses import 55 per cent of their machinery and equipment. When faced with higher prices, businesses will buy less machinery and equipment, and consequently limit production, which may limit employment opportunities and hurt worker wages.

Canadian governments, meanwhile, will pay more when managing debt denominated in U.S. dollars, particularly provincial governments and their utilities (i.e. natural gas, electricity), which issue

the most bonds denominated in non-Canadian currency.

However, there are benefits – albeit overstated, in some cases.

Exporters benefit from a lower exchange rate.

Why? Because Canadian exporters exchange goods for U.S. dollars, so when the loonie is relatively low, those U.S. dollars, when repatriated, buy more Canadian dollars.

But even for exporters, the benefits of a lower exchange rate are likely to be limited, because market demand is the primary driver of exports—not the relative strength or weakness of the loonie, Moreover, exporters may rely too heavily on a depreciating dollar, which can lead to investments

that only make sense with a weaker loonie.

Canadian natural resource industries should benefit most from a lower Canadian dollar. Oil and gas firms, for example, export much more than they import, so a weaker loonie will boost their bottom line.

For individual Canadians, anyone invested abroad will pocket more Canadian dollars when those investments are brought back home.

But this is a dubious benefit to the Canadian economy because it rewards people for not investing in Canada, and consequently, lowers the value of all assets in the country.

Philip Cross, Fraser Institute.

What is really happening to the workers?

To the Editor: As reported in the Regina Leader Post, March 11, Premier Wall is already staking his ground for what kind of job he wants from the people of Saskatchewan when he is done with politics.

He has let it be known that he wants to be an Ambassador. It seems to this old farmer, Ambassadors always walk around in nice clean clothes, and with clean

hands, and perhaps most are waited on.

I can’t help thinking back when Brad Wall was the leader of the opposition, and he remarked on the Gormley show if he ever became Premier he would go to war with the unionized workers in Saskatchewan. There are good Unions in Saskatchewan that Wall is afraid to touch, like nurses and teachers etc. but a lot of workers Wall has terminated for no

good reason, and not a peep who gets the boot.

I think it is a safe bet a number of families has seen their life become much more difficult in these good times.

Is it really too difficult for the media to sniff out what is actually happening to many workers under this Wall Government?

Henry Neufeld, Waldeck, SK.

World TB Day – let’s put a stop together To the Editor: World TB Day, March 24, is a good opportunity for us to acknowledge past December Canada’s major contribution of $650 million over three years to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

It’s also a very good opportunity to encourage our country to maintain its role as a world leader in this field by also contributing to the financing of the TB REACH initiative.

Lets remember that in 2009 Canada pledged

$120 million to the Stop TB Partnership to found the TB REACH initiative – an incredible mechanism focused on using communitydriven programming to promote early and increased case detection of TB cases and ensure their timely treatment.

It would be wonderful indeed if the Canadian Government would accept contributing again to the TB REACH financing up to $40 million per year over the next five years.

Bruno Marquis, Gatineau QC.

To the Editor: Be careful what you wish for is a wise adage. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) wishes that Premier Brad Wall would root out inefficiencies before raising taxes. The CTF praises “efficiencies” like the privatization of hospital linens.

Let’s follow a dollar. If the government pays an employee a dollar it gets the employee’s income tax ranging from 11 per cent to 15 per cent. If the employee spends it in the province, the government gets another five per cent.

If a tax payer spends his or her “saved” dollar in the province, the government gets five per cent and the profit goes to a corporation.

“...more and more corporations are sitting on vast sums of money, spending it on advertising to manufacture demand, or investing in it in potential bubbles.”

While some large corporations, perhaps the one cleaning our linens, do use the profit to expand and create jobs, more and more corporations are sitting on vast sums of money, spending it on advertising to manufacture demand, or investing in it in potential bubbles.

Let’s now consider the “genie”, well, the GINI coefficient. The GINI index is a measure of equality used by economists. Health and social problems are known to be worse in unequal countries.

While public unions appear to be anathema to the CTF, there is a strong correlation between union density and equality; or conversely, union scarcity and inequality.

Private “efficiency” means the government is out income tax and it may pay for the health and social problems created by the numerous ways corporations externalize costs.

So while I do not wish the government to be inefficient, the CTF’s “efficiency” may be more of a curse than a blessing.

Nancy Carswell Shellbrook, SK.

century21plus.ca Education equality for Sask. First Nations First Nation students on reserves across Canada should have access to the same educational standards, supports and opportunities available to other Canadians. That’s why the Government of Canada is working with First Nation parents, schools, teachers, and leaders to improve the current system.

Earlier this year, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt and Assembly of First Nations’ National Chief, Shawn Atleo, announced a historic agreement between the federal government and the Assembly of First Nations – one that will smooth the way forward in our common goals of enhancing First Nation education.

It has taken years of discussion and studies, as well as long, unprecedented consultations with First Nation leaders, parents, educators and others.

But the agreement to proceed with the final drafting and introduction of the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act marks an historic milestone for all First Nations and all Canadians.

First Nations are best placed to control First

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz Nation education. This legislation will recognize their responsibility and accountability to administer their education system on-reserve under the Act. The Act will ensure that minimum education standards on-reserve are consistent with provincial standards off-reserve. For example, the legislation will enable First Nation schools to teach a core curriculum that meets or exceeds provincial standards.

Students will be expected to meet minimum attendance requirements, and teachers will require proper certification. First Nation schools will also

award widely recognized diplomas or degrees.

This legislation will establish a stable and predictable statutory funding regime – one that recognizes the importance of language and culture as an essential element of First Nation education. It will also create a Joint Council of Education Professionals to provide advice and support to Canada and to First Nations on how best to implement and oversee the Act. The Government of Canada and the Assembly of First Nations will continue working together on the passage of the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act. Any necessary regulations to follow will be jointly developed.

As a former school teacher, and a legislator with several First Nation reserves in my riding, I know this historic agreement is one that we should all support. In the days ahead, as we move forward together, more First Nation children in the YorktonMelville and across Canada will have access to a quality education. That education will open the door to full participation in Canada’s economic future – to the benefit of us all.

Sask. medical growers frustrated by Health Canada

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Health Canada has changed the rules regarding medicinal marihuana to the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, set to come into effect on April 1. The new rules change the requirements for growers in Canada, with the only source being licensed producers.

Julian Strauss, who operates cannibasoils.ca, a (Togo area) Saskatchewan-based medical dispensary, grower and manufacturer, says that the changes primarily affect their ability to grow, in that they are no longer able to do so and must buy wholesale from someone licensed under the new regulations. This will increase costs substantially, and Strauss says this will most directly affect the patients who are in most need of treatment, as they are largely chronically ill or disabled, and have conditions which make fulltime employment unrealistic.

“It would be a drastic change, and what it does is it creates a financial barrier that is insurpassable. An unobtainable medication for ninety per cent of our patients,” Strauss says.

“What it’s done is create a very lucrative recreational market. If you have a full time job, you’re not disabled and you’re not chronically ill, you can go to a doctor, a nurse or a pharmacist and get a prescription for cannabis and afford the cost.”

Strauss emphasizes that the people who are most in need of medicinal cannabis will have disabilities and chronic illnesses that prohibit or limit full time employment, so increased prices will hit them the hardest.

“If you’re actually chronically ill, medicare does not cover dried cannabis or cannabis extracts. The only people who truly need the product have a wall.”

There are about ten

companies who currently have a license to grow under the new regulations, Strauss says, and they are able to completely own the market through regulation. With competition kept out, he adds, there is no honest market signal as to what the price of cannabis should.

“When you take competition out of the game, regulate the industry so heavily that the few players that are involved have very little incentive to keep prices down, so we already have collusion. All of the companies in the market have stated their price per gram of over $10.”

As a smaller producer, Strauss explains that it is impossible for him to become licensed by Health Canada due to the sheer cost of the different requirements. He says that for his own company, in order to comply with regulations it would require getting in an insurmountable amount of debt, which means he also could no longer offer the product at the kind of price patients can afford.

“The kind of debt one has to incur in order to enter the market means you have to have a price point of around $8-10 gram.”

They currently have a court order to prevent the new rules from coming into effect, but Strauss says they do not know how long the adjudication will take and what the end result will mean for the company and its patients. He also says that it’s legally a charter violation, and that is why the injunction is in place.

“You create a system where there are no incentives to modern production, there are no incentives to agricultural style production, there’s no incentive to keep the price down through open-market real competition, there’s a regulatory capture for those who can afford to buy in.”

Strauss adds, that Health Canada is on the wrong side of history, noting that research is

continuing to show that the plant cannot hurt the human body, and there is no potential for biological harm, but the medical uses are continuing to expand. It

says that it should be a right of Canadian citizens to be able to plant, grow and consume cannabis.

“Over the next five years or ten years the

conversation that we’re going to have in the world is going to expand exponentially.

Every three weeks we get a new piece of corroborated, independently verified, peer-reviewed, scientific method-based studies that show what cannabis does for things like insulin production, metabolism, the endocrine system, all of the basic health functions of the human body are regulated and kept in check by one of the numerous compounds in the human body which cannabis mimics.”

While confident that the future will show the value of cannabis in the medical environment,

14035TS00

Strauss has to deal with the regulations in place today, and how to serve patients while also remaining within Canadian law. The current plan, he explains, is to move aspects of the business to places which are more friendly to what they are doing.

They are moving to Uruguay and export permits for the extracts. He emphasizes that they will do whatever they can under laws in place to serve their customers.

“What we’re dealing with right now is trying to put together some kind of structure or framework that we can import.”

Tax efficient investing, weigh the pros and cons As Benjamin Franklin said, “in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Fortunately for some Canadian investors, the latter can be controlled. For those investing outside their registered plans, corporate class funds offer a tax efficient means of investing.

Many mutual fund companies offer two versions of their funds: traditional and corporate class.

Generally speaking both

Kids Expo gets bigger and better

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Just like kids themselves, the Yorkton Kids Expo is getting bigger every year. Presented by Joey’s Kids Apparel, the event has grown into the Gallagher Center, expanding to four times the size.

Joelle Bohn, event organizer, says that the second year of the event is defined by two words, more and better. There were double the number of booths for the trade portion, and kids themselves were able to enjoy a wider variety of entertainment, attractions and activities.

Bohn says the event came about out of a desire to bring something different to the city, taking the inspiration from similar Kids Expos in larger centers. The event itself has brought out people from those larger centers like Saskatoon and Regina, with the smaller scale being appealing to many of the people and businesses who took part.

“We wanted to bring a big city feel to Yorkton.”

For many parents, knowing what’s available for their kids in the community is a challenge, and Bohn says part of the goal is to share what Yorkton has to offer. She says it’s important for anyone who is even planning to have kids in the future.

“Especially that first year after having a baby you’re overwhelmed by so much information. This way you can take your pace and take it all in.

“It highlights all the businesses people don’t even know about, and all of the activities people don’t even know about.

There are a lot of activities that are kind of lost in the shuffle. Here, parents can find out where they can bring their kids on Monday afternoon... Plus, all the home based businesses that don’t actually have a store front.”

The event went well in the new space show the move to the Gallagher Centre was the right one for the expo.

For next year, Bohn says the plan is to take what’s been learned in the larger space to make the event both bigger and better in the future, as well as use the experience to learn to manage crowds at the event more efficiently.

All proceeds from the Kid’s Expo will go to the wheelchair accessible playground in Weinmaster Park, and Bohn says that they hope to see the park open this summer.

are managed in the same fashion and hold the same investments but they are structured differently, with the corporate class structure offering greater tax efficiency.

Standard mutual funds are structured as trusts but corporate class funds are corporations. The difference is that the corporate class structure can hold different funds as a part of a single corporate tax entity, whereas a mutual fund trust generally contains a single fund.

The corporate structure enables tax-free switching, tax-efficient distributions, and flexible rebalancing; ultimately enhancing the power of compounding.

Under the corporate class structure, investors can switch between funds without triggering capital gains or losses. Investors are only subject to taxable dispositions when they

www.reynoldsinglis.ca sell their position in the corporation. Those with large gains can control realization of the gain or loss to fit their personal tax planning. The ability to switch also means investors can rebalance regularly without concern for tax consequences.

From a tax efficiency standpoint the corporate class structure allows capital gains or losses to be spread across all funds in the corporation, which tends to minimize the need for distributions.

When distributions are paid, they are classified as

capital gains and/or dividend income, both of which offer preferential tax treatment over interest income.

Ultimately the tax deferred structure lends itself to better compounding.

Corporate class funds best serve those who truly require the tax efficiency, and are often employed by incorporated business owners or high net worth investors who have maximized their registered plans. Seniors concerned with OAS clawbacks are another common group.

It is important to choose carefully among the corpo-

14035SS01

rate class providers.

Investors should look for companies with a solid selection of funds and, since a key feature of the corporate class structure is the tax-free switching, investors should be sure they actually want to hold the funds under the structure. In terms of product offerings, CI Investments is the largest of its kind in Canada, with over 60 funds and $20 billion in assets.

One disadvantage of corporate class funds is a generally higher price tag than their traditional mutual fund trust counterparts. However, the corporate class structure is now available through low cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Purpose Investments recently brought out a corporate class structure for its ETFs, the first of its kind in Canada.

Although Purpose currently has

only a handful of product offerings, they are a growing company that will likely have more in the future.

Investors need to weigh the pros and cons of corporate class mutual funds versus the new corporate class ETFs and, in addition to product offerings and cost, consider whether any corporate class funds are even suitable for their personal tax situation. An investment should never be based purely on tax merits.

Frozen veggies – the powerhouse convenience food During every trip to the supermarket we must make choices between the price, health, and convenience aspects of the foods we buy. Most people tend to believe that fresh is always the best option, and in many cases it is, but what about frozen vegetables? Are they just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts?

Studies have shown that most frozen vegetables are just as nourishing. Other than a quick blanching process to kill any bacteria, they are virtually unprocessed and flash frozen to preserve freshness.

By staying frozen from shortly after harvesting until the time they reach your kitchen, they are by far a better product than most people think.

Unless fresh goods are harvested locally, they must travel great distances in order to be available to you in the produce section. This usually means that they are harvested before full ripeness occurs in hopes of them being at their peak by the time they arrive for one to purchase.

This timely arrival is not always the case however, and you may be left with a more inferior product than if you were to get it direct from the farm. Full ripening on the tree/vine before harvesting also always produces a far more healthful product.

This being said, if you live in a farming area where fresh local produce is available then by all means buy fresh, otherwise frozen is another viable option. For many households frozen is far more convenient for their busy lifestyles: cutting, washing, and in some cases peeling has already been done for them. The chance of food spoilage is also greatly reduced, unless it is forgotten about in the freezer

Dear Barbara:

Chef Dez on Cooking

Dear Chef Dez:

This usually happens because the frozen vegetables partially thaw, waters collects on the vegetables, and then when they get put back in the freezer they clump together because the newly formed moisture freezes everything together.

This can start happening even from the time you place them in your shopping cart, while you wait at the till, get them in your car, travel home, and then finally make it into the freezer.

Even in this time frame, the vegetables become partly thawed and will cause this clumping. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you do the following: Shop for frozen foods last when making your grocery store trip.

Keep frozen foods together in your cart/bags to help keep them cold.

Get them immediately into the freezer when you get home.

It is hard to always keep this clumping from happening at all, but the only other thing to suggest is bring a cooler with ice packs with you in your car and as soon as you leave the grocery store place them in this cooler for the trip home.

Whenever I buy a bag of either frozen peas or frozen corn, they are nicely individual but after say 1-1/2 weeks in my freezer they are turned into one big hard lump. Any suggestions?

by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com for long periods of time. Most frozen vegetables are recommended to be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. They are not immediately bad or freezer burnt in the 7th month, but should be used up sooner rather than later for optimal results.

I am not by any means suggesting that one should always buy frozen when it comes to imported fruits or vegetables, but merely that there are other healthy and convenient options to fresh when applicable. One last note is to always read the labels on all packaged foods to ensure that you are aware of any added ingredients that may be present.

The farmer is trained, moves on

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training.

This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Finally we seem to be getting a break in the weather! It’ll probably give us some good opportunities to observe Molly the moose and her baby calf. We can see the tracks in the snow, where they have taken the opportunity to feed themselves from the horse feeders.

Marvin probably led them to it. I can just see Marvin the moose jiving while singing that old familiar tune: “Molly and me, and baby makes three…”

We’re making room in the freezer in case they are still around come fall hunting season! Marion says that Marvin the moose reminds her of me, awkward and uncoordinated, but determined!

We are both pretending to have green thumbs, as we are starting some of the vegetable plants for the garden inside our house.

However, we haven’t quite decided where we should put our garden this year, probably in front of kitchen window, that way we will see it, and remember to weed and water the garden every day! We are only planting enough for the two of us; the kids will have to grow their own.

A green grocer sells vegetables. Where did that word vegetable come from? In Norwegian we call it green things. The interesting part is that a farmer that grows vegetables is called a dirt farmer. He doesn’t grow dirt, he grows vegetables! I got curious as to the origin of the word vegetable and looked it up, and here is what I found: Old French or from Late Latin – vegetare or vegetabills, meaning able to live and grow.

I decided to check with the Collins Dictionary as well, which gave me the following: Vegetable Noun 1 – A plant or part of a plant used as food i.e. cabbage, turnip, potato, bean etc.

2 – Informal – A person with a dull or inactive life.

(Wow, a lot of people I know are vegetables).

Both the English and Norwegian languages belong to the Germanic group of languages, so one would think that there would be some similarities in the words, whether they are nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives etc., so I went looking, and this is what I found: Host – English: Provider of the premises.

Norwegian: Cough.

Ask – English: Request.

Norwegian: Ash. Par – English: Average.

Norwegian: Couple.

Mane – English: Hair on the neck of a horse.

Norwegian: Conjure.

Tale – English: Story.

Norwegian: Address (as in speech).

Trim – English: Cut, prune.

Norwegian: Exercise (fitness).

So if we said in English: The host had to ask about the par for the course.

The mane of his horse told a tale by the way it was trimmed. A Norwegian could be translating these sentences to say: The cough had to ash about the couple for the course.

The conjure of his horse with address by the way it was exercised. Whew!

Aren’t we glad we only have to contend with French? Just kidding!

The following stories came to me from a Canadian University: A linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive.

However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”

The Sask. farmer is trained Con’t from Page 8.

A voice from the back of the room retorted, “Yeah, right.”

“I’ve just had the most awful time,” said a boy to his friends. “First I got angina pectoris, then arteriosclerosis.

Just as I was recovering, I got psoriasis.

Then they gave me hypodermics, and to top it all, tonsillitis was followed by appendectomy.” “Wow! How did you pull through?” sympathized his friends. “I don’t know,” the boy replied. “Toughest spelling test I ever had.”

An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard: “woman without her man is nothing.” The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly.

The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.”

The women wrote: “Woman! Without her, man is nothing.”

English is one of the official languages of North America. But in Canada French is also an official language. However, way down south in USA they have developed new words that originated from phonetics, and here are some examples of the words and how they are used: BARD - verb. Past tense of the infinitive “to borrow.”

Usage: “My brother bard my pickup truck.”

JAWJUH - noun. Georgia, state just north of Florida.

Usage: “My brother from Jawjah bard my pickup truck.”

HERD – verb. Past tense for the infinitive “to hear.”

Usage: “My brother from Jawjah bard my pickup truck, and I ain’t herd from him.

MUNTS - noun. A calendar division.

Usage: “My brother from Jawjuh bard my pickup truck, and I ain’t herd from him in munts.”

Of course when I try to write in Norwegian, my spell checker goes absolutely crazy. I found this poem related to spell checkers. Enjoy!

Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

ONE ROUND DOWN- The Yorkton Terriers made the first step in their quest to defend their SJHL title on Friday night, blowing out Notre Dame 7-1 in Game Five of their first round series to advance to the SJHL Semifinals. Yorkton will play Humboldt in the next round.

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Despite a hard fought effort from the lowest seed in the SJHL Quarterfinals in the Notre Dame Hounds during the defending champion Yorkton Terriers first playoff series in the SJHL Playoffs an expected ending was reached on Friday night at the Farrell Agencies Arena when the Hounds were dispatched unceremoniously 7-1 in a deciding Game Five win for the Terriers to advance to the SJHL Semifinals.

The win would settle the series at 4-1 and would come after the Hounds gave the Terriers everything they could handle and more in the opening four games before being blown out at the FAA in the deciding

contest. Employing a physical and hard nosed strategy, Notre Dame would push the Terriers from the opening puck drop to the final whistle in an attempt to get the defending champs off their game.

While the Terriers fought back, they would not lose their composure even after a Game Two loss on the road and having to go to overtime to beat the Hounds on the road in Game Four. In the end staying composed would pay off with an expected early end to the series.

An early end almost didn’t come as Notre Dame was less than three minutes away from taking a second win at the Duncan McNeill Arena on Thursday as a third period goal from Andrew Cummings gave the

Hounds a 2-1 lead for most of the final period. Leaving just minutes of defense in the way between them and a forced sixth game back in Notre Dame regardless of the result at the FAA the next night in Game Five.

That didn’t happen as Terriers rookie Tanner Lischynsky would become the playoff hero with his first SJHL game at the perfect time to tie the game up at 2-2 with 2:20 left to play to take the game into overtime in Wilcox.

After tying the game late the Terriers would make no mistake in making the Cinderella Hounds pay in overtime as fellow rookie Jordan Ross would show that the newcomers can be just as clutch as the veterans with championship experience, beating Alexi Thibaudeau

to score the overtime winner and put the Terriers up 3-1 in the series with the chance to clinch the series on Friday.

Back at home the Terriers would make no mistake of finishing off Notre Dame as quickly as possible, riding off a valiant early effort from the Hounds with an opening goal from Brett Boehm before eventually blowing out the playoff candle for the Hounds in an embarrassing fashion with a 7-1 blowout win that also featured two fight victories from the Terriers by the way of Kailum Gervais and Dylan Johnson to rub salt in the wounds of a Hounds team that managed to draw the scorn of the FAA faithful in just five short games.

Bantam AA Terriers win first game of provincial final

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Following a convincing South Final sweep over the Prairie Storm of Balgonie in the SBAAHL Division Finals the Yorkton Bantam AA UCT Terriers couldn’t be blamed for feeling confident heading into the SBAAHL Championship series with the North champion North East Wolfpack.

After all the Terriers would be considered to be solid favourites over the Wolfpack as the Terriers finished with eight more wins during the regular season. Even more confidence boosting for the Terriers was their home ice

advantage for the opening and potential final game of the three game series with the Wolfpack as the Terriers have yet to lose at the Farrell Agencies Arena, using the big ice to their advantage during every game played at the home of the SJHL’s Terriers.

Still the series between the Wolfpack and Terriers couldn’t be chalked up as an automatic win as the Wolfpack going into Game One had built quite the playoff reputation for themselves during an underdog run from third place in the division to a spot in the SBAAHL Championship.

Finishing four points out

of second and nine points out of first, the Wolfpack would knock out Prince Albert and Sask Valley to take out the two top seeds in the playoffs and earn their chance to bring the provincial Bantam AA title to Melfort.

Once the puck was dropped Yorkton would be quick to show that they weren’t going to take anyone lightly in a final series as they came out with an expected strong effort in front of a hometown crowd that came out to watch the big game.

As he has all playoffs it would be Carson Welke who would start the Terriers off on the right foot as the Langenburg product would

score on the powerplay to give the hosts first blood in the series.

Welke wouldn’t be done there as he would score his second just minutes later on an assist from his brother McKenzie who would find his brother on both goals to give the team a 2-0 lead.

Not done there the Terriers would somehow find one more before the end of the period as Keenan Taphorn would score with 1:21 left to cap off a barrage if Yorkton offensive fireworks to give them a commanding 3-0 lead after the first period over the shellshocked Wolfpack.

CWNT’s Desiree Scott visits Yorkton to coach soccer camp

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Heading into Canada’s 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup hosting duties, Canadian Women’s National Team central midfielder Desiree Scott took time out of her preparations for her 2014 club season to help grow the game in the prairies over the weekend when she helped host a one day skills clinic at the Yorkton Regional High School for aspiring footballers to hone their skills.

Scott, who is 26, is one of Canada’s regulars in the midfield for the CWNT and was a crucial figure in the team’s magical run to bronze in the 2012 London Olympics where the Canadians took their hated American rivals into extra time on the back of a Christine Sinclair hat trick in the semifinal round before losing and settling for a bronze medal win over France in what was Canada’s best finish on the world stage in the beautiful game for men or women.

From Winnipeg, Scott was one of the heroes of Canada’s bronze medal win over France as she cleared the ball off the goal line with the score tied at Nil-Nil to allow the Canadians to stay in the game and find the winning goal in a 1-0 win over the French in London.

Well the bronze medal game didn’t have the organic explosion of television and worldwide media coverage that their epic battle with the USWNT had, Scott and the CWNT have became household names making it no surprise that local girls (and boys) wasted no time in flocking to the YRHS to meet a Canadian national team player as well as to learn some valuable skills.

The well attended event showed just how popular the game has became in Canada and whether you call it football or simply soccer, Scott is happy to see that the game is growing more and more in the province.

“We had a good turnout today which is great because I love seeing how much the game is growing in the prairies,” says Scott. “Being from Winnipeg born and raised I grew up playing soccer in this area so whenever I can give back and help grow the game here it is a thrill to watch all of these young players get passionate about the game.”

Scott mentioned that the game in Canada, which is still growing at the grassroots and national level to earn the attention of the mainstream even with the success of the wom-

en’s national team, has really exploded since the London experience.

“It has been nearly two years now since we went to London and still people will come up to you in the street and talk about the game against the Americans and winning bronze. Which is nice because you don’t always get the opportunity to experience having that fan interaction so we definitely appreciate all the love we have got from our country and it is something I am extremely grateful for and is why I try to give back as much as I can.”

Scott’s aim to help grow the game comes at a time where the Canadian women are looking to grow the game even further next year when they host the Women’s World Cup in 2015 following the men’s version in Brazil this year, playing in front of the country Scott is hoping that not only the fans come but that herself and her teammates can put on a show to make the country as proud as they were after the Olympics.

“We did some great things in London and a lot has changed since then, but we are still a really focused group that is determined to go out and play for our country every time we step onto the pitch so playing in front of our own fans in our own country is definitely going to motivate us to try to take that next step,” says the veteran Scott who has 71 caps for the national team since 2010. “Playing in front of our home country is an experience that is always special, but hosting the World Cup is an entirely different once in a lifetime experience that we aren’t taking for granted so there is a lot of work to be done between now and 2015 to prepare to play for our country at the best level possible when the time comes.”

Part of that preparation will be the club season as Scott and the rest of the CWNT will part ways to different North American, South American and European clubs for the next few months before returning to the National Team camp to prepare for the World Cup. Scott is taking on a new experience for the club year, heading over to Notts County after a long North American club career following her collegiate success at the University of Manitoba.

“Next up for myself and for my national team teammates will be the club season so we are currently on break from national team training and are focused on getting ready for the long haul.”

The News Review and News Review Extra are online! Visit us at: www.yorktonnews.com

Scott played for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the old W-League before spending a year with FC Kansas City in the new National Women’s Soccer League before transferring to England to play for Notts County over the winter. Moving from North America to England for her club career, Scott says that she is most excited to help grow the women’s game in a country that is famous for being one of the most passionate areas in the world for the game.

“I had a long career in North America playing for the Whitecaps and spending a year in Kansas City helping grow the game here, but I am excited to get to spend part of my year over in a soccer mad country like England trying to grow the game with a new experience so I am definitely looking forward to going over there and getting started with Notts County.”

DESIREE SCOTT visited Yorkton to coach a youth soccer clinic on Saturday at the Yorkton Regional High School as well as to sign autographs and to share her national team experiences. Scott won bronze in the 2012 London games.

Yorkton Storm swimmers dominate pool in Prince Albert

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The Yorkton Storm Speed Swim Club recently sent eight swimmers to the “A” Provincials and Junior Cup that were jointly held in Prince Albert.

Five swimmers had earned a spot at the meet by swimming an “A” time at a meet leading up to provincials, and three younger swimmers took part in the Junior Cup. After participating in some high level meets during the months of January and February the Storm swimmers were well prepared for the trip to Prince Albert and came home with some impressive medal hauls to brag about after a successful weekend in the pool.

Coach Ashley Benko was very impressed with the performances turned in by her squad.

“Our swimmers exceeded my expectations taking off seconds from their previous personal best times.” She went on to add, “Despite air quality issues in the pool and several swimmers being sick, four of our swimmers qualified for the Man-Sask meet which is coming up in Winnipeg.”

The group came home with quite a medal haul, 20 medals to be exact. Jacob Baker (13) lead the way with 8 individual medals to his credit. Baker came home with five golds in the 200m Individual Medley, 100m Breaststroke, 50m and 100m Freestyle, as well as the 50m Backstroke.

He added two silvers to his collection in the 100m Individual Medley, and 100m Butterfly. Jacob rounded out his performance with a bronze in the 50m Butterfly. Along the way Baker swam an “AA” time in the 50 Free and 100 IM, these two times coupled with the “AA” time he already had in the 50m Back give him three “AA” times heading into the Man-Sask Meet.

Jennifer Haczkewicz (14) swam her way to the podium six times in Prince Albert.

Haczkewicz entered the Provincial Meet with five “AA” times so she couldn’t swim those races at this meet. This slight problem allowed her to race in some events that she normally doesn’t compete in.

In the end she was golden in the 400m Freestyle, and 100m and 200m Backstroke events. She added silver medals in the 200m Freestyle and 200m Individual Medley events. Jen ended her trips to the podium with a bronze medal in the 800m Freestyle event.

Like Baker, Haczkewicz also added to her “AA” times by swimming the “AA” standard in the 200m and 400m Freestyle races as well as the 100m Back. She will be entering the Man-Sask Meet with an unprecedented eight “AA” times.

Benko added, “Jen

has had strong seasons in the past, but never one quite like this one, she can only enter seven races at ManSask so she is going to be faced with a decision of which race to leave out.”

Cassidy Flasch (12) used the “A” Provincial Meet as a break-out meet. She came home with two medals, a silver in the 50m Butterfly, and a bronze in the 50m Backstroke. While the medals are impressive, the real breakthrough comes in the fact that both races were swam in the “AA” standard earning her a spot on the Man-Sask Team.

Coach Benko commented that, “For both Flasch and Baker it will be their first trips to such a big meet, they both turned in very impressive performances.”

She added that this meet routinely attended by over 650 swimmers is a stepping stone to swimming greatness.

“Man-Sask attracts the top swimmers from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario, along with swimmers from British Columbia and Alberta.”

Kelsey Haczkewicz (14) also punched her ticket to the Man-Sask Meet swimming an “AA” time in the 50m Freestyle and 100m Individual Medley events. Kelsey brought home four medals from the Provincial Meet, a gold in the 50m Free and three bronzes from the 50m Backstroke, 50m Breaststroke, and 100m Freestyle events.

Randi Jones (12) attended the “A” Provincial Meet for the first time. She took time off in all of her swims and is getting close to meeting the Man-Sask Standard.

Matlyn Bulych (8), Ella Kozak (8) and Shea Guest (9) competed in the Junior Cup event in Prince Albert. All three of them continue to improve at each event they attend and Kozak had a huge swim, in racing in the 10 and Under 400m Freestyle for the first time. Ella placed 6th swimming the race in 7.78.77.

“As our swimmers continue to train and grow they will continue to see huge improvements in competition,” stated Benko.

“Ella Kozak, Shea Guest, Matyn Bulych and Randi Jones are definite contenders for next years Man-Sask Championships.

In what has now become a YSSC tradition the Storm Chaser Award was handed out to the swimmer that took the most time off per event on average at the event in Prince Albert. Four swimmers ended up in a huge log jam for the prize. Jacob Baker finished 4th taking off 6.21 seconds overall, Ella Kozak was third taking off 6.31 seconds, and Shea Guest was 2nd taking 6.41 seconds off.

Jennifer Haczkewicz won the award by taking off 8.32 seconds overall.

YORKTON STORM SWIM CLUB swimmers dominated the pool in Prince Albert over the weekend, taking home 20 medals at the event with several personal best times as the speed swimming season heats up.

century21plus.ca Rating the Sweet 16 Cinderellas of March Madness Ruttig’s rants

Another first weekend of March Madness presented plenty of storylines and storylines to be talked about and of course tons of upsets as the underdogs continued the tradition of low seeds making noise in the NCAA Tournament.

From undefeated Wichita State losing in the second round to Kentucky to Canadian star Andrew Wiggins and powerhouse Kansas there were upset of all varieties to enjoy through the weekend.

There are plenty of teams lining up to try on Cinderella’s glass slipper in the NCAA tournament’s Round of 16. Some have battled their way up through the First Four play-in games while others are former national champions turning around a down year.

But which of the Sweet 16 contenders really has the best Cinderella potential to keep the upsets coming and find themselves in Arlington, Texas for the Final Four?

I am here to rate the Cinderellas and have my crystal ball in hand to tell you just how good of a chance each underdog has to be howling into the Final Four after cutting down the nets on Saturday and Sunday following the Elite Eight.

No. 7 Connecticut Huskies (East Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Iowa State The Huskies earned wins over St. Joe’s and former Big East rivals Villanova to punch their ticket to the Sweet 16.

With Cyclones guard Georges Niang out, the Huskies could go toe-totoe with the fifth-highest scoring team in the country.

Following that will be a tough game against either ACC champs Virginia or Big Ten champ Michigan State to get to the Final Four.

But with Napier averaging 24.5 points in the tournament and doing his best Kemba Walker impersonation, anything is possible for UConn.

Cinderella Rating: 7

No. 10 Stanford Cardinal (South Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Dayton

After convincing wins over New Mexico and Kansas, it will be Stanford as the favorites in its Sweet 16 meeting with Dayton, who had an equally-impressive opening week.

The winner of this game will be a heavy underdog against Florida or Pac-12 rival UCLA in the Elite Eight, so a Final Four run is unlikely at best.

The Cardinal did, however, split the season series with the Bruins before getting blasted by UCLA in the conference tournament.

Column Chase Ruttig With Wichita State out of the picture, the Midwest Final Four bid is up for grabs and the Vols look to have as good of a chance as anybody.

Tennessee could run into SEC rival Kentucky, which it lost to in conference play, or Louisville in the region final.

Either team will be worse for wear coming out of a Blue Grass bat-

tle.

Cinderella Rating: 7 No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats (Midwest Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Louisville It seems strange fitting Kentucky for a glass slipper but the Wildcats have performed like a

Cinderella, edging No. 1 Wichita State in upset fashion in the Round of 32. Books are treating UK as such in the Sweet 16, tabbing them as a 5-point underdog against the defending national champs.

The Wildcats already beat the Cardinals this season, using their size in the backcourt to bully Louisville point guard Russ Smith. If they can repeat that performance, they either face a Tennessee team they also have a win over or a Dayton team that may be running out of luck.

Cinderella Rating: 9 No. 6 Baylor Bears (West Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Wisconsin

Baylor was able to blowout a methodical Creighton team in the Round of 32 and faces a Wisconsin program that is well known for its deliberate offense.

The Badgers have picked up the pace compared to past seasons, but could have trouble with the Bears’ versatility and explosiveness.

Looking past the Badgers, Baylor could tackle either Arizona or San Diego State in the regional final.

The Aztecs and Wildcats are among the top defensive teams in the country and do a good job closing out on perimeter shooters.

Baylor may not be able to find those open looks from outside needed to keep up with these top seeds.

Cinderella Rating: 4 No. 11 Dayton Flyers (South Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Stanford The Flyers were able to pack the Syracuse zone and get easy looks inside while keeping the Orange ice cold on the perimeter in their Round of 32 upset.

Dayton faces another zone-heavy defense in Stanford, but as mentioned above, if the Flyers get past the Cardinal they have a tall task against Florida or UCLA in the region final.

Cinderella Rating: 2 No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers (Midwest Region) Sweet 16 Opponent: Michigan Tennessee barely made it into the tournament, needing overtime against Iowa in the First Four to advance to the second round before blowing out UMass and Mercer to earn their Sweet 16 bid.

The Volunteers take on Michigan, which got blown out by Iowa in conference play, and try to exploit the Wolverines’ lack of size beyond seniors Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford.

Bantams one game away from title Cont. from Page 11.

In the second period the Terriers would extend their lead once again, this time on an assists from Carson Welke who would set up Luke Schappert for huis first goal of the series to make it 4-0 Yorkton.

The Wolfpack would pull one back in the second period off a goal from Beau Stevenson, but the line of the Welke brothers and Schappert would strike once again with the Welke’s assisting Schappert for the fifth goal scored by the “Langenburg Line” on the night to head into the final period up 5-1.

In the final twenty minutes the Terriers would pump the brakes, taking the life out of the game and keeping the puck in the Wolfpack zone not taking any chances after the Prairie Storm scored two quick goals in the third period in Game Two of the South Final.

The strategy would pay off as the Terriers would be the team creating chances up four goals, not allowing the Wolfpack to generate any momentum in what was a frustrating trip to Yorkton for the Melfort team in a dominating Game One performance that Terriers head coach Graham Garrett had nothing to

say about but praise for his team.

“We have been locked in since the playoffs as a team and keep getting better each time we step onto the ice which is amazing considering that it is playoff time,” says Garrett who also explained that after beating the Prairie Storm they felt that they would have a good chance to come out and make a statement in the league final.

“The Wolfpack are a good hockey team, but after beating one of the teams that really challenged us in the season in the Storm we felt that we would have a good chance to come out and show we are playing a notch above the pack right now,” says Garrett.

Garrett also credited the players physical will and determination to win as a huge factor in the win. “Teams can skate with us because there are very talented teams in this league, but our guys seem to have that little bit extra once players start to wear down which is the benefit of having a deep and talented team like we have the benefit of having this season so far.”

One of the main contributors to that depth is the Welke line of Carson-McKenzie and Luke Schappert who

are also dubbed the “Langenburg Line” and have been the dominant line pairing for the Terriers during the playoffs accounting on all five of the goals in Game One. Garrett pointed out that the Welke’s success comes despite being gameplanned for every night making it that much more impressive.

“Teams try to match their defensive line on the Welke’s every time we play and so far nobody can stop them which speaks to their talent as well as how much they want it which is very impressive.”

Yorkton will next travel to Melfort for a potentially deciding Game Two in the best of three series. With the season on the line and a trip to a visiting barn next on the agenda, Garrett knows that he will have to prepare his players for an inspired effort from the Wolfpack who are now on the brink.

“We have played in enough elimination games by now to know what is coming, but in a final there will be potentially even more being laid out on the line so hopefully as coaches and players we will be prepared for whatever the Wolfpack throw at us on Thursday night in Melfort.”

Terriers face Humboldt in SJHL semis after Hounds win Cont. from Page 11 Seven different Terriers would score in the win, a victory that Terriers captain Devon McMullen was happy clinched the series after five physical games that McMullen credited the Hounds for coming out with inspired efforts in.

“It was nice to finish the series in five games and get closer to the next step in the playoffs,” said McMullen postgame on Friday.

“Especially with the way Notre Dame was playing us at home and on the road it will be nice to relax a bit and not have to worry about any Game Six or Game Seven games before focusing on the semifinals.”

McMullen also credited the Hounds for their hard fought effort, something that he embraced as a solid playoff introduction. “As much as they may have got under the skin it helped motivate us to play better and prepared us for what it takes to win in the playoffs and they did a really good job of making sure we had to earn the series,” says McMullen who added.

“You never want a team to just roll over and give you and easy win because that isn’t going to help you get better so

this series was a good experience for us.”

Not knowing their SJHL Semifinal opponent on Friday night the Terriers captain made sure it was clear regardless of opponent that the team would be taking it one game at a time when it comes to their quest to defending their SJHL title and advancing to the Western Canada Cup. “We know that the expectation is to defend our title because we are the defending champions, but we also know that we won the title last year by taking that one game at a time,” says McMullen who is playing his final Junior season after a long stint with the Terriers.

“Whatever happens in the end happens and it would be nice to finish with a title, but for now we are just focused on the next game, the next practice, the next play, and continuing our goals one step at a time.”

That opponent will be the Humboldt Broncos as the SJHL semifinal will feature a Canalta Cup rematch of the Terriers and Broncos series that decided last year’s SJHL title with the Terriers upsetting the Broncos quest at back to back titles in six games to lift the trophy.

Now it will be the

Broncos who look to return the favour at the same time as trying to rewrite the script on what was a disappointing second half to regular season in Humboldt that saw the Broncos fall to third place in the Kramer Division.

In fact at the end of the regular season the Terriers would finish 14 points above the Broncos in the league standings, a drastic disparity in performance that will give this series a different fell than in the 2013 Canalta Cup Final in which it was the Terriers who were slight underdogs against the defending champions and regular season leaders.

This time the Terriers will be looking towards being not just favourites, but being steady ones with a large gap between them and the Broncos based on how the regular season played out and where the two teams finished.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - Page 19A

Terriers and Broncos renew playoff history in semis Cont. from Page 16

Humboldt will be relying on the fact that they turned things around in their SJHL Quarterfinal series against the Melfort Mustangs, bounding back from 8-3 and 6-0 losses on the road in Melfort to win in six games thanks to a 3-2 win in overtime in the deciding game.

The Broncos will be concerned about the fact that they conceded 23 goals during their first round series, not a good trend considering that the Broncos biggest weakness this season was goal scoring as they were well behind the Terriers with just 146 goals scored, which was third last in the league. By comparison the Terriers were first in the league in goals scored during the regular season with a whopping 186.

Humboldt made up for that lack of goal scoring in the regular season by keeping pucks out of the net and relying on their experienced defense to lead the way.

The Broncos allowed just 2.36 goals per game during the 56 game regular season, but the fact they allowed nearly four goals a night against the Mustangs in the first round makes the stat hold less weight now then it did heading into the playoffs.

In goal the battle between the pipes will feature a young against old theme as the rookie Ryland Pashovitz will look to do battle with veteran Kale Thomson for Humboldt. Pashovitz had a hot start to his SJHL career as a rookie, but with Yorkton’s Thomson being named Top Goaltender for the 2013/14 SJHL season the Terriers should expect to have the goaltending edge. Pashovitz was no slouch in the

awards department either as he took Rookie of the Year honours for his goaltending work and a 1.60 GAA with five shutouts in a tandem role for much of the season before taking over the starting job for the playoffs.

Another potential X-factor for the Terriers is the recent hot streak of Chase Norrish, who also earned SJHL Top Defenseman honours this season by pouring it on down the stretch as Yorkton secured the regular season title. Norrish scored 23 points in the final 14 games of the season and topped that in the first round by scoring a rare hat trick from the blue line over the Hounds. If Norrish can stay hot along with his brother Brady and fellow defensemen in Devon McMullen, the Terriers should hold the edge in goaltending, blueline and forward play in this series.
