Drinking age to stay

Skating extravaganza!

– gov’t makes a decision If you were hoping for change, it’s not going to happen. The provincial government has announced it is keeping the legal drinking age at 19. “We have heard from stakeholder groups and from people across the province that government should not change the drinking age in Saskatchewan,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer says. “While there were also some people that supported reducing the age to 18 years, it became clear that the majority urged government to maintain the status quo.” The legal drinking age in Saskatchewan is consistent with the majority of other provinces. Only Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec have lower drinking ages (18 years). The issue of possibly lowering Saskatchewan’s legal drinking age to 18 was considered by government as a result of a resolution passed in November at the Saskatchewan Party’s annual convention. “The decision to maintain the current legal drinking age is the right one and supported by police chiefs across the province,” Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police Executive Member Dale Larsen states. “We know that young people are already involved in a disproportionate amount of incidents involving alcohol so allowing young people to legally consume alcohol earlier would only make it worse.”

Keeping Sask. workers safe: Howard’s Law

The intent is to save lives and your support is needed. Health organizations, firefighters and emergency medical workers across Saskatchewan are asking the public to show their support for a mandatory asbestos registry by signing an on-line petition. Bill 604 or Howard’s Law would make the reporting of asbestos in public buildings mandatory in Saskatchewan. “The public has a right to know if the building they work in, the school or daycare their child attends or the nursing home their parent lives in contains asbestos. We believe the public agrees so we’re providing them with an easy way to show

their support,” says Jennifer Miller, Vice-President of Health Promotion with the Lung Association of Saskatchewan. The petition called PassHowardsLaw.ca refers to Howard Willems who died in November from a lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos on the job. Right up until his death, the 59 year old Saskatoon man advocated for a mandatory public registry of Saskatchewan buildings that contain asbestos. “We lost our stepdad because he didn’t know there was asbestos in the buildings he inspected. If he had known, he would have taken the necessary steps to protect himself and would still be with us today. He dedi-

cated the last two years of his life trying to save others from suffering the same fate as he did and we’re determined to carry on Howard’s fight through SADAO,” says Jesse Todd, spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (SADAO), the group his stepfather founded. Bill 604 is a private members bill that was introduced by the NDP just before Howard Willems passed away. MLAs are expected to vote on the bill in the coming weeks. Support for a mandatory asbestos registry has been growing despite the government’s creation of a voluntary registry.

registry but in order to protect the health and safety of all workers in the province, it should be mandatory,” adds Steven Skoworodko, president of SEMSA. Because of the age of many buildings in this province, there may be cases where asbestos that was originally encapsulated has been disturbed or deteriorated, increasing the risk of exposure to those unaware of it. Howard’s Law would begin the process of drawing upon the registry to further educate the public on how to identify asbestos, handle it and deal with its lethal fibres. Continued on Page 2.

Be more competitive: removing barriers The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its nationwide network of chambers of commerce, including the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, unveiled its Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness list for 2013. The Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness is an initiative the Canadian chamber network undertook last year to draw attention to the barriers that are holding back Canada’s progress and to urge all levels of governments to act more swiftly in increasing our country’s ability to compete globally. Canadian Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Perrin Beatty declared the initial year of the initiative a success. “As we take stock of the first year of the Top 10, many of the items we listed were addressed in the course of 2012,” he states. “Our members recorded a major victory when our appeal for change to the regulatory processes around natural resource projects was overwhelmingly accepted by the government. For a country so dependent on the success of natural resource projects, making a more efficient process is a huge competitor to competitiveness.” The Canadian Chamber network’s number one issue in 2012 was Canada’s skills shortage. We were very satisfied to hear the Prime Minister also identify skills as a major priority issue of his government,” adds Beatty. Yorkton Chamber of Commerce President Amie Zamonsky agrees. “Businesses in Saskatchewan, and especially in the Yorkton area, know first-hand the need for skilled labour,” she says. “We are pleased that the Canadian Chamber network intends to maintain its focus on skill in 2013, particularly in addressing four key

Asbestos is the leading cause of industrial cancers and deaths in Canada. CAREX Canada, a national surveillance project estimates that more than 4,200 Saskatchewan workers have been exposed to asbestos. It often takes decades after exposure for an asbestos-related cancer to develop. The Canadian Cancer Society says a mandatory public registry would reduce exposure, prevent cancer and save lives.

SPOT looks after workers in the field

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Rocky Mountain Equipment has been working hard over the past few years to improve the safety of its employees. In the most recent change, the Case IH dealership chain has adopted the SPOT system for employees working alone. The system is a GPS unit that tracks the worker when they are working in remote areas. It functions on a two-hour interval, and if a button isn’t pressed in that time a monitoring station contacts them to ensure they are still safe. There is also an emergency button on the device if something does happen in the field, which immediately contacts EMS. Part of the working alone program, SPOT was adapted because an agriculture equipment dealer frequently has to send people out service in fields and other places where

cell phones might not work, explains Jeff Ross, Health and Safety Coordinator for Rocky Mountain Equipment. “These guys are going out on service calls by themselves in a service truck, in the middle of a farmer’s field, sometimes in the middle of the night because these guys go around the clock. We need to ensure the safety of our workers,” Ross says. SPOT was initially designed for people like back country snowmobilers and other extreme sports, Ross says, but the design of the system made it easy to adapt to business use. It was also chosen because of the limitations of cell phones, since in many cases there was limited cell service, and it didn’t offer the ability to track locations. There always needs to be twoway communication, Ross says, and this ensures that there will always be someone monitoring the safety of their workers. The adoption of SPOT

is part of a larger program to improve safety at RME. They also received Certificate of Recognition, or COR certification, through the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association. The program is an audit system to ensure that the company meets certain safety standards for their workers. Ross says that it’s important for the company to maintain high standards to ensure safety of their employees. He says another step towards safety was a more effective hazard assessment program, better training and better personal protective equipment. Ross says that he thinks that things like SPOT being adopted by other dealers, and while he doesn’t know what other dealers are doing, he says that the bar is being raised for safety all the time. He says that it just makes sense to adopt technology that improves the safety of people working for the company.

Premier’s Award of Excellence

Saskatchewan residents have until April 30 to nominate provincial employees for the 2013 Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Public Service. The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the government and citizens of the province. “Saskatchewan’s public servants are key to our government’s public sector renewal, providing the residents of this province with innovative, efficient and responsive programs and services,” Premier Brad Wall says. “I encourage everyone across Saskatchewan to nominate the public service employee or team who has provided

outstanding services in their community.” Individuals or teams from government ministries, some Treasury Board Crown corporations, boards, commissions and agencies are eligible for nomination by the public service, stakeholder organizations, clients and the public. Selections are made by an independent committee. Up to six awards will be announced during National Public Service Week in June. For more information on the Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Public Service, or the Saskatchewan Honours and Awards Program, please visit www.ops. gov.sk.ca.

The newest option for steak in Yorkton has finally opened, marking the culmination of years of hard work and planning. Mr. Mikes Steakhouse Casual is now open for business, near the Parkland Mall. The Mr. Mikes franchise has been around since 1960, explains Barry Hilderman, restaurant general manager, begun by a pair of brothers in Vancouver. The franchise has gone through cycles of growth and decline, but it’s currently on the upswing under new management, and the Yorkton restaurant is the 22nd location to open. Anticipation has been building for the new restaurant over the past couple years, and Hilderman says that since Saskatchewan is a province that loves its beef, a steakhouse is a natural fit for a city like Yorkton. “This franchise, they specialize in steaks... In Saskatchewan, we like our steaks, we like our burgers, we like this type of food and it just works.” While this is the first week that the restaurant is open for business, Hilderman notes that the team has been working on training for much longer, to ensure that service goes smoothly from the moment the doors open. He says that there has been three days of dry-runs, practicing on friends and family of the staff and owners with a full kitchen. He says that training is critical to having a restaurant open smoothly, and he says that the Mr. Mikes training

team has been invaluable to making that service possible. “If we didn’t have that, we would be hard pressed to provide the service and quality that this brand is,” he says. One thing that has been easy about opening the restaurant has been finding that staff, and Hilderman says it’s because it’s the kind of place people want to work. “We are a family restaurant. Family restaurants are very easy to staff because people want to work in a family restaurant, and the anticipation of us opening up put our name on everyone’s mind.” The anticipation has been immense, he notes, with over 2,000 fans on Facebook and the comments from customers throughout town. Hilderman says that Yorkton’s restaurant industry overall is in a good place, and he hopes Mr. Mikes can be a major part of the city’s growing hospitality industry. “I think the eating establishments in this city are all very busy, because this city likes to eat out. Yorkton is a growing city and the clientele that are coming to establishments like ours are looking for more than just a meal, they’re looking for an experience, they’re looking for a place to be, and they’re looking for something different from the obvious choice. Right now they’re just looking for more.” The first week of operation has been going smooth so far, Hilderman says, and he notes that even the training staff has been impressed by the way the staff has come together. “I am quite proud of them all.”

Women make the world go round Women have come a long way in every segment of society, even when it comes to fields that at one time were predominately comprised of men. It’s for that reason the Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed the month of March as Rural Women’s Month in Saskatchewan. “The contributions of Saskatchewan’s rural women have played a vital role in placing our province as a global leader in agriculture,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart commented earlier this week. “I am pleased to see more women getting involved and taking leadership roles within the agriculture industry. Women will be key contributors to our industry’s continued success as we prepare to meet the growing global demand for food.” The fact is, nearly one quarter of farm operators in Saskatchewan are women. Rural Women’s Month is intended to recognize these women and the valuable contributions they make in their communities and on their farms. “Rural Women’s Month is an opportunity to recognize the multiple roles that rural women play that are key to maintaining our farms, our families and our communities,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude says. “They are small business owners, agrologists, health care providers, teachers, caregivers, mentors and community leaders ensuring that our province continues to be the best place to live and work and to raise a family.” Rural Women’s Month will be observed through a variety of events held in March by women’s groups in communities across the province. These activities will acknowledge the positive contributions of rural women in enhancing agricultural and rural development in Saskatchewan. Hats off to Saskatchewan’s women!

Keep your opinions to yourself The right to freedom of speech is one thing but when you are outright denouncing and slandering other people with printed hate literature it’s completely another. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but that doesn’t mean you are correct or that you should be pushing all that you believe on everyone else. A Saskatchewan man – a so called “anti-gay crusader” was (and says he will continue to) developing flyers and pamphlets denouncing homosexuals and distributing them to the public. Among whatever other messages involved he says that all gay men are “sodomites and pedophiles.” Now regardless of what one chooses to believe (and I will clearly say I DO NOT believe this) this is just plain ridiculous to print and distribute in public. Luckily the case (of Bill Whatcott who calls Regina home) has been taken to the Supreme Court of Canada where it was ruled at least two of his flyers violate the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. I would say so. Just because a person has a partner preference that may different from your own doesn’t make them a pedophile or anything else. And it cer-

tainly doesn’t give you the right to call them down publicly. To each his own. This isn’t the first time Whatcott has garnered public attention. In fact he’s made a habit of it over many years. The Shannon Deveau graphic nature of his literature, and his protests have gotten him in repeated legal trouble. He has been arrested six times in Saskatchewan, but never convicted of any charge and he’s also been arrested once in the United States, 20 times in Ontario and successfully prosecuted twice. In 2005, he was fined $17,500 by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal for distributing material deemed hateful by the Human Rights Tribunal. Wouldn’t you think he would get the hint? Apparently not. Even after the recent Supreme Court ruling he says he’s not going to stop. “I won’t change my mind,” he says. “I’ll put out flyer until I’m in a hospital bed or jail. I don’t believe that the Supreme Court has the right to censor this kind of speech. If they do, they’re wrong.” Being of strong conviction can be a good thing but in this instance it’s carrying things too far. Apparently this guy has far too much time and money on his hands.

The way I see it... Column

Geneva motor show about cars you can’t drive I tend to follow auto shows, this fact will sometimes pop up in this very column. Right now, in Geneva, Switzerland, there is an auto show, which is dedicated almost exclusively to cars you can’t buy, it’s all spectacle and far flung ideas. Like any show of this nature, there are going to be the concept cars, which by definition are experimental and never actually on the market. Sometimes they might come to production, but at this moment they’re cobbled together out of the dreams of stylists, put on display to point the way to the future. Some of them are just regular cars with elaborate headlights – Honda’s Civic Tourer is almost at a production state – but they’re all cars that you can’t buy. Then, you have the cars you can’t afford, mostly because they have prices in the millions of dollars. Of those, even if you can afford them you can’t actually buy them, since they’re making an absurdly small number and they’re all probably sold already. For instance, Lamborghini will make a grand total of three copies of their new car, the Veneno. Each car will be painted a different color so that when the owners meet their cars will make an Italian flag. It’s an endeavor that’s striking, but ultimately not really interesting to people looking across the seas to see what’s coming next to their driveway.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Even the normal vehicles revealed aren’t that interesting in that respect. The aforementioned Honda Civic Tourer sounds like it’s going to be a European exclusive. Honda has kept it’s European and North American Civic lines separate for a while now, and while I might like a great hatchback they don’t believe the rest of the market in this country is all that interested. Chevrolet unveiled a new Captiva SUV, but it’s also a European exclusive. They aren’t exporting it because the company is full up on SUVs, and it would be a difficult fit between the small Trax and the larger Equinox. It might make sense in Europe, but they have less space and no Equinox in their line.

So why do I keep track of this? None of the cars are going to be making a trip into my driveway, and it’s very doubtful that I will see any of these things in person anyway. But honestly, that’s no big deal, because I can see the pictures. I can see what the many designers stationed all around the world are doing, what the big trends in design will be in the future, and how different companies are interpreting the next big thing in automotive style. Many auto shows are interested in reality, and that’s good too. You can look to them to see what you might be driving next time you’re going for a new car. The practical shows might be the best, because the future they represent is your future, your driveway. It’s easier to get excited by automotive ideas you can actually buy. But Geneva, especially this year, is exciting because it represents a certain fantasy. Sure, I’ll never own a real Lamborghini, but I can still look at it and see something exciting and see a decidedly different automotive landscape than the one I’m used to. All the cars at Geneva, even the practical ones, become about getting a glimpse into a different world. It’s a world where everyone has more money and even the most popular car in the country looks alien. It’s nice to give that world a visit sometime.

Public officials and conflicts of interest

Celebrating Sask. women

To the Editor:

What is there not to get about conflict of interest? After all, it sounds simple enough: the interest, often a personal interest, of a policy or decision-maker comes into conflict with and influences a public duty. But evidently misunderstandings remain. It is therefore not surprising that there seems to be such a widespread lack of understanding among public officials. Be that as it may, we need to clarify and expand our understanding of conflict of interest in order ensure that public trust in our political representatives and institutions is not undermined. There have been numerous examples in which ordinary reasonable citizens aware of the particular circumstances “get” the conflict of interest but the public officials concerned don’t seem to. Several themes emerge: One is the “it wasn’t me” response. This may be framed as “I didn’t act in that capacity or role.” Another is the “I was acting under another public duty” response. Both of these themes arose in the recent controversy surrounding Finance Minister Jim Flaherty when he was accused of contravening the Federal Conflict of Interest Act by writing to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in support of a particular broadcast license applicant based in his constituency. The Minister and a Prime Minister’s Office official both pointed out that this was merely assistance to a constituent, part of the duty of any MP. But why then did the Minister sign his letter as The Honourable Jim Flaherty, P.C., M.P. Minister of Finance and Minister Responsible for the Greater Toronto area? There was no doubt in Federal Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson’s mind that the Minister’s message, written “to an ad-

ministrative tribunal in relation to its decision making,” was improper and that it contravened Section 9 of the Federal Conflict of Interest Act, which prohibits public office holders from “improperly further(ing) another person’s private interests.” Her conclusion should not come as a surprise. Merely look-

Rather, she applied an objective test: would a reasonable person apprised of the facts infer that the Minister sought to further a private interest, or would they conclude that he was merely acting appropriately in his role as an MP representing a constituent? Such an objective test is consistent with an ethical approach to conflict of interest based on respect, honesty, responsibility and fairness, namely, some of the key values that underpin democratic legitimacy. It comes down to the behaviour that citizens are entitled to expect from their elected officials. These officials need to “get” conflict of interest, broadly construed, and demonstrate to the public that they do, without qualification or excuse. The narrower approach – interpreted merely in terms of the letter of the law rather than a broader perception of conflict of interest – undermines crucial aspects of transparency and accountability and is corrosive to public trust in elected officials. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta is currently reviewing its own Conflict of Interest Act. (Written submissions are being accepted until March 1, 2013). As MLA Mike Allen, chair of the Special Select Conflicts of Interest Act Review Committee, says, “The public expect their elected representatives to act ethically and perform their duties with the highest level of integrity. Often it is not an action but rather the public perception of that action that can raise questions about a Member’s conduct.” This review committee presents engaged citizens with an important opportunity to share their views about the scope and spirit of provincial conflict of interest legislation, to make sure that elected officials “get” it too.

“It comes down to the behaviour that citizens are entitled to expect from their elected officials. These officials need to “get” conflict of interest, broadly construed, and demonstrate to the public that they do, without qualification or excuse.” ing at the minister’s letter from the viewpoint of CRTC members – who are appointed by the Cabinet of which the Minister is a part – reveals the conflict. Dawson observed that Accountable Government: A Guide for Ministers and Ministers of State, Annex H (2011) prohibits intervention by ministers in quasijudicial tribunal decisions. She ordered the Minister to refrain from writing any similar letters in the future. Flaherty promptly assured the Commissioner that it would not happen again. While the Flaherty case was about furthering “private interest,” the test was whether there was a direct personal interest. Or was it? Because Section 9 prohibits office holders “seek(ing) to influence a decision so as to further private interests,” the Ethics Commissioner didn’t make a finding of fact about whether the Minister actually furthered his constituent’s private interest.

It’s high time to punish the real criminals To the Editor: Re: Harper Continues to Make Paper Criminals With Gun Owners. Just another broken election promise for Stephen Harper? In 2005 the Conservative Party approved this policy declaration: that a Conservative government will repeal Canada’s costly gun registry legislation and work with the provinces and territories on cost-effective gun control programs designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals while re-

specting the rights of law-abiding Canadians to own and use firearms responsibly. Surprise, surprise, the long gun registry is dead but the rest of C-68 is very alive. The current policy is that every firearm owner must have a valid possession certificate (POL,PAL). This lifetime licensing allows the government to track firearm owners forever. Why does this government so distrust the vast majority of decent nonviolent firearm owners that it wants to identify and track every

innocent gun owner forever? If your firearm possession certificate expires, you have become a paper criminal according to the current laws. You are in illegal possession of all your firearms without this piece of paper called a PAL. It is estimated that over 600,000 gun owners are paper criminals. You can be charged, lose your firearms, and go to jail for illegally possessing firearms without a valid possession certificate. (We have no property rights

in Canada) The goal of any firearm law should be to reduce crime. Making paper criminals out of law abiding citizens is wrong. We need to identify, register, and track the 176,000 violent criminals who have gone through our courts instead of tracking the eight million innocent peaceful responsible firearm owners. Please contact your MP. Inky Mark, former Member of Parliament.

Is deregulation the answer to safer highways? To the Editor: Motoring is a life or death exercise. The most skillful driver is not certain to arrive home alive on any day due to deer and moose at large in our automobile environment. Authorities advise “slow down moose on the loose” or “slow

down and save a buck.” If a motorist took this advice every motorist on the road would pass him causing greater danger. What absolute total insanity for a society to tolerate 15,000 wildlife collisions, $51 million in insurance claims 13 motorist deaths and 285 injuries in 2012 in Saskatchewan.

I recognize manslaughter by negligence on the part of the government for allowing this danger to exist on the roads when deregulated hunting would remove it pronto. Attorney General take note. Clem Pankoski, Yorkton, SK.

To the Editor: With International Women’s Day approaching, I find myself reminded once again of how fortunate I am to be growing up in Canada. I love going to university and it makes me sad to think that many young girls around the world do not even receive a basic education, much less the opportunity to one day earn a college degree. Instead, they live every day hungry and at risk of being trafficked or sold into child labor. The world is finally beginning to take notice of these issues and fierce women’s rights campaigns have been sparked from brutal incidences such as the widely reported gang rape and death of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi, India. Many are asking what they can do to help young girls growing up in these situations and I believe child sponsorship is a fantastic place to start. Through sponsorship, girls are offered access to basic necessities such as an education, medical care and even small business training. My family and I sponsor a child and we are always thrilled to receive updates on how their life in Ecuador is improving. A fantastic place to learn more about sponsoring a girl this International Women’s Day is justonechild. ca. Learn today about how you can help underprivileged girls all over the world.

PM introduces the Office of Religious Freedom The right to worship according to one’s conscience is a Canadian trademark. This isn’t so around the world. I have looked into the eyes of people who have, in their own countries, been victimized and brutalized simply because of their religion—and report far worse for their fellow practitioners. Their well-documented reports of persecution sicken me to the core. That’s one reason I’m grateful that our government has established the Office of Religious Freedom. In his announcement regarding the official establishment of this office, and the introduction of Canada’s first Ambassador of Religious Freedom, Dr. Andrew Bennett, Prime Minister Harper clearly outlined the urgency for its creation. “Ladies and gentlemen, around the world, violations of religious freedom are widespread, and they are increasing. “In Iran, Bahá’ís and Christians face harassment, imprisonment, and, in some cases, death. In Pakistan, Ahmadiyya Muslims, Shiites Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and Hindus are vulnerable to persecution and violence. In China, Christians who worship outside government-approved boundaries are driven underground and their leaders are arrested and detained while Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, and Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to repression

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz and intimidation. “Elsewhere we watch in horror as sanctuaries are destroyed and believers are attacked and in some cases slaughtered, Shia Muslim pilgrims in Iraq, Coptic Christian adherents in Egypt, Christians at worship in Nigeria, the list, appallingly, goes on and on. “In the face of these injustices and atrocities, Canada will not be silent.” Mr. Harper spoke of meeting the Minister of Minorities of Pakistan, Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian who worked tirelessly on behalf of all minority religions in his country. Three weeks later, Bhatti was assassinated. I’m reminded of an earlier time in history, when

Germany had a crucial need for citizens to speak out against their own government’s persecution of elements within its borders. Martin Niemoeller, a German pacifist eventually jailed by the Nazis, is best known for this powerful statement of regret: “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” Our government has already spoken out. It has also taken action against human rights violations globally, as well as promoting religious freedom among G-8 and Commonwealth and Francophonie leaders. Our country is home to thousands of religious refugees, among them 20,000 Chaldean Catholics, driven from Iran under threats of death. But words are never enough. As Prime Minister Harper stated, we must do more to protect fundamental human rights against this assault on democracy. “The need is urgent. And our responsibility is clear.” Dr. Bennett will monitor religious freedom around the world and promote it as a key objective of Canadian foreign policy.

March is Fraud Awareness Month: be alert, stay safe March is Fraud Awareness Month in Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan RCMP Federal Investigations – Economic Crime Section, Saskatchewan Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority and the Saskatoon and Regina Police Services are joining forces to educate the public about the types of frauds investigators are seeing across the province. This column is the first of a series to be published this month. Beware of Promises of High Return in a Low Interest Rate Market For a number of years now Canada has been in a time of low interest rates within the financial markets. These low rates of return not only apply to savings and borrowing but also to investments.

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) is quite concerned about the number of incidents being reported to their enforcement branch where investors suffered substantial losses after they were convinced to move or invest in “high rate of return” products from their existing, safer low return investments. In the majority of these complaints, unscrupulous individuals convinced investors that the risk associated to the higher return products was minimal if not non-existent. FCAA is concerned that individuals who are planning on retiring, retired, or are dependent on fixed income investments may be tempted to move away from slower growing safe investments to alternative investments without

understanding the risks and dangers. All investments carry a degree of risk and the level of that risk is normally related to the expected return. Higher yields generally carry a higher risk; lower risks equate to lower returns. A very common sales pitch being given to pending retirement aged investors is that; “the clock is winding down on the time for you to build up your retirement funds, and at the presently low interest rates, you will fall short of money to retire on. To ensure that you will be able to live a comfortable retirement, you need to make more money NOW!” Very often the offer carries a warning of urgency and this opportunity is only available for a very short time. This convincing argument often results in inves-

It’s Agriculture Literacy Week The Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed March 3-9 Agriculture Literacy Week in Saskatchewan. “Agriculture Literacy Week is a time to show our youth the importance and value of agriculture and the role our producers play in feeding the world,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart comments. “By allowing our youth to learn more about agriculture we hope that they will have a better appreciation of where their food comes from and will consider a career in agriculture.” The provincial government supports a number of initiatives to help educate youth about agriculture in Saskatchewan, such as Agriculture in the Classroom. The Ministry of Agriculture has provided $150,000 in funding over the past year to the program. “The Ministry of Education is committed to improving the literacy and learning success of all Saskatchewan students,” Education Minister Russ Marchuk adds. “Literacy comes in many forms and this week there is an exciting focus on agriculture and the impact it has on our communities.” Agriculture Literacy Week is being observed through a variety of events held in March by Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan and schools across the province.

tors leaping at the offer being presented without fully investigating the investment and the salesperson. More times than not, this action will end with your entire retirement fund lost, and as stated by a victim of one of these scams, “I thought I was set for a very comfortable retirement, I lost so much money that now I have gone from caviar to cat food”. The FCAA reminds investors to consider the following when making any investment decision: • Get as much writ-

ten information about the investment as you can and be sure that you take the time you need to understand what you are getting into. • Ask questions if the information is unclear, and get opinions from persons who are independent from the person trying to sell you the investment such as your professional advisor, banker, accountant, lawyer, trusted friend or family member. • Is the rate of return realistic? If everyone else is offering three per cent why is this

person able to offer nine or 12 or in some cases 25 per cent? • Is this salesperson registered to sell investments in Saskatchewan and is this investment qualified to be sold in the province. Call the FCAA to check. Go on the internet to see if there are previous problems with the company or person selling. Remember just because there is a website does not make the investment or the offering legitimate. Many scams have very professional looking websites create to mislead investors.

Parkinson connection planned

Approximately 100,000 Canadians woke up this morning knowing they would experience tremors, slowness, stiffness, impaired balance, difficulty walking, trouble writing, fatigue, weakness and for some, depression. For a person with Parkinson’s disease, each day can be a struggle to perform common tasks most of us take for granted. Medication can lessen the symptoms, but there is currently no cure for this progressive, neurodegenerative disease. With that said, there are support networks out there. On Saturday April 6, people living with Parkinson’s disease from all over the province will gather together at the first annual Parkinson Connection Conference in Regina, Saskatchewan, to hear keynote motivational speaker Peter Davison and others deliver motivational and educational presentations. The day is designed to be an inspirational, interactive and empowering day

where local experts and speakers will share their knowledge and experiences with over 200 people with Parkinson’s disease, their care partners and interested members of the community. Davison knows well the struggle of living with Parkinson’s. In 2005 at the age of 45, he was diagnosed with the disease, though he has not let it deter him from his prolific speaking career. His presentation The Four Dimensions of Living Well is a lively interactive presentation developed to celebrate life and it’s infinite possibilities for love for people with Parkinson’s, their care partners and health professionals. The Parkinson Connection Conference will be held at Queensbury Conference Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan on Saturday, April 6 2013 from 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. For more information call Jennifer Schoeck at (306) 933-4478 Toll Free: (888) 685-0059.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, March 7, 2013 - Page 7A

From life to death and all the potholes in between Our Lenten theme this year within our church is “HOLY GROUND” Each week we will hear about a journey that is on Holy ground. We all have walked on some holy ground in our life time. In my 35 years of nursing, I had the privilege of walking on some pretty holy ground myself, some of which I would like to share with you. From my years from nurses training to my retirement, I was in many labour rooms and journeyed with numerous mothers and dads as they went through labour and as their children were being born. Some labour was short but others were painfully long. I do not know

about you, but I would have called that holy ground. You too have experienced those times when a baby was born and you stood in awe of God’s wonder and miracles. It may have been your children, grand children birth, or that of a close friend. Those, in my eyes, are times we were standing on Holy Ground. I also had the privilege of walking with the dying. The last few days and hours of a person’s life when all systems seem to be failing and families huddle together to hold hands, weep and hold each other as their loved one closes their eyes and the slips into the Creator’s everlasting hands, that to me

also is walking on Holy Ground. Many of you have walked on that holy ground as well. No one needs to tell you how important that time was for you and your family to be together because you remember only too well those steps you took on Holy Ground. The beginning of Life and the end of life both are holy ground in my eyes. Being a farmer’s wife I also heard much about

Column by Margaret Anne Yost pot holes – you know those wet spots that you wanted to seed and just couldn’t. You would work around each pot hole hoping to dry it out so that you would be able to seed a little closer- this usually were you got stuck and we all knew what happened from then on. I need not say more!!! Life also offers us many pot holes; we have illness, divorce, job loss, friends moving away, children leaving home,

lonely evenings, long sleepless nights. We can call all these pot holes along the way of life Holy Ground. Our creator never promised us roses without thrones, no sunshine without rain, but he always promises to walk with us – no matter what pot hole we are trying to work around. Lent is a journey on holy ground. We recall Jesus kneeling in prayer in the garden. His journey from birth to death was all made on holy ground. He made this journey out of love for us. As we walk our Lenten journey we are to be ever mindful of the sacrifice that was made on our behalf- by no means an easy journey but one made out of love for us. Someone once said, “Life

is sacred in its being born, in its living and in its dying.” Therefore our whole life journey is truly a walk on “Holy Ground.” “Today’s journey will begin when have healed from yesterdays potholes of life.” Margaret Anne Yost nursed for 35 years. Returning back to school I completed classes from the Red River College in the areas of Gerontology, Bereavement, Death and Dying. For twelve years I worked in bereavement support at a funeral home. At present I am employed as an Interim Parish Worker at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Melville Sask. I also enjoy my role as homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother.

SUDOKU RULES The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. Completed puzzles are always a type of Latin square with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single digit may not appear twice in the same 9x9 playing board row or column or in any of the nine 3x3 subregions of the 9x9 playing board. This week’s puzzle is very hard.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 32nd of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Winter has set in for sure! I’ll never discuss the weather with Mother Nature again! I’m sure glad that Nels got the barn extension done, so that my 4020 is parked out of the elements! We have disposed of all our birds, including the laying hens, so now there are only the horses to tend to. This makes for days when I’m in my office most of the time. The other day I got a phone call that obviously was intended for somebody else, but I was bored so I thought that I would have some fun with this telemarketer. The phone call went something like this: Me: “Hello?” Telemarketer: “Hi I’m calling from Company X, we have a special offer for you. Am I talking to Bob Smith?” Me: “No.” Telemarketer: “Would it be possible to talk to Bob Smith?” Me: “I would think so!” Telemarketer: “OK.” Me: “Anything is possible with today’s technology!” Telemarketer: “Uhm, I’m not sure that I quite understand…” Me: “Well I can neither confirm or deny that!” Telemarketer: “What?” Me: “I can neither confirm or deny whether you understand or not understand. That you have to decide for yourself!” Telemarketer: “Yes, of course I understand that!” Me: “Great! Then we have that confirmed!” Telemarketer:

“Uhm… What?” Me: “You just confirmed yourself that it is you that have to confirm that you understand or not understand. You understand?!” Telemarketer: “Yes, of course!” Me: “Yes, that’s how that goes! Is there anything else that I can help you with?” Telemarketer: “Well, I would really like to talk to Bob Smith!” Me: “I’m sorry to have to disappoint you, but I can’t help you there!” Telemarketer: “So, to be clear, it is not possible for me to talk to Bob Smith?” Me: “No, I think that should be possible.” Telemarketer: “Great!” Me: “Yes, that’s how it goes!” Telemarketer: “Can you please let me to talk to Bob Smith then?” Me: “I have no right to deny you to talk to Bob Smith, and I am therefore not the person that you have to ask for permission to talk to Bob Smith!” Telemarketer: “What do you mean?” Me: “I mean that I do not decide who Bob Smith can or cannot talk to!” Telemarketer: “Oh! Is Bob Smith at home?” Me: “I would think so!” Telemarketer: “What do you mean by you think so?” Me: “That he’s at home, unless he’s some other place!” Telemarketer: “You mean that he’s not in the vicinity?” Me: “Vicinity is a question of definition, but I cannot see anybody here or close by here that is named Bob Smith, if that’s what you’re asking!” Telemarketer: “Well, I guess that’s what vicinity means!” Me: “Are you asking, or have you determined that’s what vicinity means?” Telemarketer: “That’s my determination!” Me: “Well, then he’s not in the vicinity.”

Telemarketer: “When will he return?” Me: “Return?” Telemarketer: “Yes, he’s not there now, so when will he return?” Me: “If he’s to return, that would mean that he has been here?” Telemarketer: “Of course!” Me: “Then he will not be returning!” Telemarketer: “What do you mean by that?!” Me: “Well… He won’t return ‘cause he’s never been here!” Telemarketer: “What?!

You mean it’s not possible to reach Bob Smith at this number?” Me: “Well, it’s not impossible, but highly unlikely!” Telemarketer: “I think I’m starting to understand; you answered your own phone?” Me: “That’s Correct!” Telemarketer: “Tell me then, what do I have to do to get a hold of Bob Smith?” Me: “Try calling him!” Telemarketer: “That’s what I’m doing!!” Me: “Try calling Bob Smith on his own telephone number!” Telemarketer: “What?” Me: “Yes..If you want to talk to Bob Smith, then I suggest to you that the best way would be to call Bob Smith directly rather than via me! I don’t even know the man!” Telemarketer: “Have I dialed the wrong number?” Me: “Well, since you insist on talking to Bob Smith, then I would suggest to you that you have indeed dialed the wrong number!” Telemarketer: “Uhm…Thank you, have a nice day!” Click.

Harvest go down 2-1 to Regina in first round By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After a stirring Game One effort, the Yorkton Harvest are now asking themselves “What If?” after the first three games of their first round playoff series with the Regina Pat Canadians. With the road win in Game One giving them all sorts of momentum in the Best of Five series, the Harvest failed to grab the all important win in games two and three and now find themselves on the brink of elimination heading into Game Four Thursday at the FAA. Game One as mentioned, saw the Harvest finally break through and score a decisive victory over the Pat Canadians who found away to earn points against Yorkton in all four regular season games this season. Backed by 39 minutes of shutout hockey from Carson Bogdan in goal, the Harvest scored the game’s first three goals to head into the third period up 3-1 after the pat Canadians scored with just 23 seconds left in the second period. Chase McKersie, Jaden Kreklewich, and Eric Meyer earned the tallies for the Harvest to give them the 3-0 lead. Tristan Frei scored on the powerplay to make things interesting in the third period, but Brandon Kayter’s short handed solo effort put the Harvest up 4-2 and gave them the opening game win to kick off the series. Kayter, who scored just one goal all season came up huge for the Harvest, backing up Bogdan’s impressive 39 save night to send the Harvest back to the FAA for Game Two with a chance to overtake the series with a home win. In Game Two the roles were reversed

GAME ON the Yorkton Harvest and the Regina Pat Canadians renewed their regular season rivalry with the first three games of their Best of Five first round series in the SMAAAHL Playoffs. as this time hot goaltending from the Pat Canadians and a hot start in the first period would lead to the Canadians evening up the series. Zachary Zborosky played the role of spoiler in the first period at the FAA. Scoring the game’s first goal just un-

der two minutes in, Zborosky added to the Harvest’s wounds with a powerplay goal after Corwin Stevely’s holding penalty to make things 2-0 heading into the first intermission. Cont. on Page 17

Ian Gordon Closing in on end of successful pro career By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

After a twenty year Junior/Pro career that has seen him go from Yorkton to Swift Current/Saskatoon in the WHL, to St. John’s and Columbus/ Cleveland/Salt Lake in the minors to all the way across the pond in Germany, Ian Gordon is finally hanging up his goalie pads. With just two games left in the DEL season Gordon recorded his 700th DEL start on February 19 against Wolfsburg and his ERC Ingolstadt Panthers clinched a playoff spot in what has been a rather successful final stretch of regular season action for Gordon who is retiring on his own terms after deciding this year would be his last in the summer. For a player who has been in the game for as long as Gordon has, ending his career with teams still clamoring for his services and playing consistent hockey at 38 years old seems to be a fitting end for the Yorkton product. From playing in the Memorial Cup as a backup for the Swift Current Broncos to success with the Saskatoon Blades to end his Junior career and stops every in between in the pros, Gordon has made a path in professional hockey in every possible scenario, making it no surprise that he is ending his career on his own terms.

With it being his last season, Gordon has said that knowing that this year will be his last has made things interesting. “Playing hockey for as long as I have it has been interesting knowing that at the end of this season it is all over, but I have been really appreciative of and have really enjoyed the process of this last season more than any other one knowing that there is a finality to things said Gordon. As for the record setting 700th start, Gordon was quick to downplay the moment saying, “The 700th game was mainly special because I got to share it with my son and it would have been really bittersweet if I had to experience a moment like that with no one to watch as what makes moments in my career like this special is the fact that I get to share it with friends, family, and teammates that care about me.” A lengthy career that has spanned three countries and has seen him play all over Europe and even in Japan might not have been in Gordon’s dreams from the get go, but he says that his career goals and where he saw himself going with hockey was a progressing one. “Turning pro was probably my biggest moment of my career. It kind of started as a kid when I thought it would be great to play for the Parkland Mallers (Yorkton Harvest) and

SPRINGERS GYMNASTICS KICK OFF SEASON the local gymnastics club went to Regina to begin their tournament schedule recently, posting solid results going forward with their year.

then when I made the Swift Current Broncos that is when the light went off when I could turn pro and make a living playing hockey so turning pro (With the Calgary Flames and their AHL team in St. Johns was a huge moment for me.” A lengthy minor league career saw Gordon play in goaltending tandems with NHL goaltenders Dwayne Roloson, J.S. Giguere, and Corey Hirsch in both the American Hockey League for St. Johns and the now defunct IHL for the Cleveland Lumberjacks and the Utah Grizzlies, never playing a game in the NHL before deciding to make the jump into playing in one of the top European pro league’s in Germany’s DEL. Three years for the Schwennigen Wild Wings led him to the Frankfurt Lions where Gordon spent the prime of his career from 200310, winning his first and only DEL title with the Lions in 2004. “Winning that title was probably the biggest moment of my pro career because after I turned pro I learned you need to check personal achievements at the door and winning that title in 2004 created some moments with teammates and coaches I will never forget and to this day whenever I go to Frankfurt I still get reminded of that year so that was another special moment in my career” said Gordon. Gordon contributes

much of his success to the ideals and work ethic his parents passed down to him when he was a kid in Yorkton saying, “My parents gave me great support in teaching me in believing in anything is possible and I had my own rink in my backyard so I would always be playing hockey any chance I could get and it was something I developed a full passion for.” Childhood teammates and friends were also something Gordon looked back fondly on his time in Yorkton as a kid in minor hockey saying, “I got to play with a great group of talented friends in minor hockey, many of whom went on to win

the Air Canada Cup and we were one of the better teams in the province growing up and some of those teammates are my best friends today and being young kids in a winning environment really helped me in my opinion and created some great childhood memories back home.” After this season is over a career in coaching the game looks to be in Gordon’s future as he plans to begin helping out in running goalie camps in the summer time in addition to looking for employment as a goaltending coach, passing on his knowledge to the game’s next generation. “I always want to continue to be

involved in hockey, it is my job and a huge part of my life being in it professionally for nearly twenty years and I hope that I can continue to make my living in the game and help teach kids the game and help them improve” mentioned Gordon. With two games left in the regular season and the playoffs on the horizon the career of a player who has done it all is about to come to an end. With twenty years of memories, accolades, and success at the minor, major Junior and pro levels, it seems that Gordon has no regrets in walking away from the game now.

IAN GORDON is presented with a plaque and jersey for playing his 700th DEL game in goal. After a lengthy pro career Gordon is hanging up his pads after this season.

Harvest face must win game Cont. from Page 15 In the second and for much of the third the Harvest pressed on trying to chase their first goal of the game to get back into things, but Logan Flodell shut the door on the Harvest forwards every time, earning a 30 save shutout. Regina notched an insurance marker late in the third period, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway as Flodell’s sterling night in goal prevented the Harvest from going up 2-0 and wasted a 30 save night from Carson Bogdan in the process. “They just got a better jump on us like we got the jump on them in Game One” said Jeff Odgers postgame. Odgers also had praise for Carson Bogdan after his strong first two games in the series saying, “Bogdan kept us in it after having a very impressive first game and by no means is anything that happened tonight his fault, you need to score at least one goal to win a hockey game.” With the series tied, the Harvest were hoping to reprise their

Game One performance back in Regina. Chase McKersie once again got the scoring started for his team in Regina, notching his second of the series off assists from Dakota Odgers and Eric Meyer to make it 1-0 Harvest. 14-4 shots in favor of the Harvest only yielded a 1-0 lead after one however as Flodell once again shut the door on the Harvest throughout the game. Tristan Frei continued to be a villian for the Harvest in this series in the second period, scoring two goals for the Pats, both assisted from Mitch Lipon to make it a tie game heading into the third after Ethan Bear scored his first of the series for the Harvest. A third period that would define the series was up next as if the Harvest won they would go back home Thursday night with a chance to eliminate the Pats at home, lose and they would need to win just to force a Game Five on the road. The latter was the ultimate result as Mitch Lipon’s unassisted goal halfway through

the third period broke the tie befor e Zborosky scored his third of the playoffs for the Pat Canadians to seal the deal in what was a 5-2 win for the Pats. A backbreaker for the Harvest was once again caused by Flodell, who made 32 saves on the night as the Harvest outshot the Canadians 34-27 and lost, a tough break for a team that is doing anything in its power to stay alive in the playoffs after a gritty second half of the regular season. So the stage is set for Game Four. Win at home and the Harvest live to see another day and a Game Five in Regina. Lose, and it is time to pack the bags and say goodbyes to the 2012-13 Yorkton Harvest. After four tight regular season games and three even more intense playoff games, the Pat Canadians-Harvest rivalry will come to it’s breaking point Thursday night at the FAA. Will the Harvest force Game Five Saturday on Regina? You will have to go to the rink to find out.

Sr. Raider Boys beat Swift Current, earn March momentum By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer With March officially underway and provincial playoffs right around the corner, the Yorkton Regional High School Sr. Boys went to North Battleford in search of some valuable momentum heading into conference playoffs and the final round of sixteen regionals/hoopla the following weekend. With Swift Current and Prince Albert St. Mary’s amongst the tournament participants, the Raiders had a valuable chance to improve their 4A ranking in their quest to host regionals as a top four seed. Friday night saw the Raiders play the hosts in North Battleford as the rebuilding Vikings saw the tables reversed against the Regional who have struggled against the defending Hoopla champions in recent years. Despite playing the YRHS tough all game, the Vikings couldn’t handle the Raiders skill as they cruised to a first round victory, setting up and important game against Swift Current in the semifinal.

The semifinal rubber match between the two teams after splitting their first two meetings of the season would likely be a deciding factor in the final SHSAA rankings after Conferences with Swift Current and the Raiders both looking to nap a top four seed. Swift Current had the edge going in winning the last meeting between the two teams, but the Raiders win at the York City Classic gave them the blueprint on beating the Colts. Play hard team defense and contest the three and success would be found. Backed by the aforementioned hard work on defense the Raiders came out rolling against Swift Current. After a 25-4 first quarter the tone was set for the rest of the game and backed by Ben Redl’s 42 points in one of his last weekend’s in a Raider uniform, the YRHS took a huge 88-44 win over the Colts. Coach Jason Payne credited the lopsided scoreline to having more energy than the Colts saying, “We got out to a good run in the first quarter with the 25-4 scoreline and were very active while Swift Current

came out flat and it was just one of those games where we had one of our best games of the season while the other team struggled.” Payne also credited Redl’s 42 points as a major key to victory as the senior nearly outscored the highly ranked Colts and fell just six points shy of tying the Raiders single game scoring record. In the final the Raiders would get another crack at Prince Albert St. Mary’s, the Raiders were blown out by P.A. in the semifinal of the York City Classic but had played them tighter in recent action and were looking to take the tournament title and cement their contender status going into the playoffs against St. Mary’s. A slow start saw the Raiders fall behind all the way to double digits, but hard nosed play from Tyrell Ulmer setting the tone saw the Raiders claw their way back to a six point halftime lead off St. Mary’s. The Raiders would hold onto their lead for much of the third quarter before the wheels fell off after Prince Albert recorded a basket and the foul for a three point play. That was followed

by a Raiders turnover that led to a three pointer for St. Mary’s that served as the turning point as St. Mary’s took advantage of the swing in momentum to get another win over the Raiders heading into playoffs. Despite the missed opportunity in the final, Payne was in high spirits in talking about his team’s weekend. “We showed ourselves that we are where we want to be heading into the time of year where the games matter, and that is what you want as a coach, to be playing your best basketball in March and I feel that we are” said Payne. As for the difference from the Raiders blowout to St. Mary’s and their recent close results Payne mentioned how the Raiders have matched P.A.’s toughness and it has showed. “We aren’t playing afraid or getting pushed around like we allowed ourselves to be at the York City Classic, we are pushing back in the battles and getting to the point where St. Mary’s who are always tough are getting afraid and rattled by a player like Tyrell Ulmer who has been playing tough hustle

basketball for us against them” mentioned the coach. The Regional will host Lumsden, Melville, and Balgonie at Conferences and should be the favorites for taking the Conference championship for the second straight year on Saturday. The Raiders will host Lumsden Saturday morning before awaiting the winner of Balgonie/Melville with the winners of the semifinal games moving on to Regionals, making a repeat victory of their opening game of the YCC against Lumsden a must. Payne made it clear that the first goal of the Raiders for March was to get past Lumsden saying, “We first need to get past Lumsden and into Regionals before we can look ahead at anything, but we expect to get the job done and make it into Regionals.” March Madness officially kicks off Saturday morning in high school gyms across Saskatchewan and the Raiders are playing their best basketball of the season, a reprise of last year’s Hoopla run might just be in the cards for the Raiders after all.

Jr. Raider Girls cap off undefeated season with district gold By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer A successful season for YRHS Junior Varsity basketball was wrapped up as the Regional Grade Nine girls finished their season at East Central Districts with gold. Going into the tournament undefeated in games against their age level, the Raiders had the target on their backs as favorites in this tournament and anything short of gold would likely go down as a disappointment for the Raiders, who set the bar high during their regular season going into the tournament at Sacred Heart’s Halo Dome. Quarterfinal action would see the Raiders go up against Melville Composite in the opening round of the district finals on Friday night. The Raiders would survive a second half scoring drought with tough team defense, holding on to a 28-23 victory in a game that was much narrower than the first half indicated, with the Raiders fourth quarter scoring woes allowing the Cobras to nearly pull off the upset and give the YRHS their first loss of the season. In the semifinal the Raiders offense was rolling, earning them a 43-17 win over Langenburg. Double digit scoring performances from Olivia Tomcala, (11 points) and

Kaitlin Krochak-Mak/ Breanne Krochak-Mak (10 points) the Raiders a berth in the district championship where they would face the Esterhazy Warriors for the gold. In the final the Raiders came out strong, stifling the Warriors on defense, but could not manage to find buckets themselves throughout the game, allowing Esterhazy to stay in the mix heading into the

fourth quarter. In the fourth the Raiders offense hit a brick wall, failing to find any semblance of offense, the Raiders needed to rely on their defense to hold the Warriors from making a comeback, they did and despite ample chances for Esterhazy at the free throw line and off offensive rebounds, the Raiders held on to their undefeated season with

a 28-21 victory that saw Esterhazy give an effort that they could be proud of in an entertaining championship game. “Our defense was really the key to our weekend because our offense kind of sputtered in fourth quarters this weekend against Melville and Esterhazy” explained head coach Chad McDowell. “We had great third quarters all year so I think a huge factor of our woes in the fourth were fatigue and looking a bit too much at the

clock and trying to hold onto our leads instead of making them larger and it almost cost us twice this weekend” concluded McDowell. McDowell said that this crop of Jr. Raiders was probably “One of the more talented teams I have ever coached in my short time here” and that “While I would enjoy to coach them longer it is exciting to know that these players are ready to play at the next level and while growing pains are always a part

of making the next step I feel that most of them can contribute right away in their own areas at the senior basketball level.” The Raiders held their opponents to under three points in six of the twelve quarters they played in the district tournament. A team that proved defense does win championships can hold their heads high with an undefeated season and bright futures for a rebuilding YRHS Sr. program.

Champions League soccer: why it is time you start watching On Tuesday afternoon all of the eyes in the sporting world fell on Manchester, England and their famous football pitch as two of Europe’s greatest clubs competed in their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matchup. Two of the world’s biggest sports franchises meeting up in the early knockout rounds of this tournament is not rare, and the battle between Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United and Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid side brought two of the game’s best managers and most historic clubs together for a spectacle of football (don’t call it soccer). After the first leg in Madrid ended in a 1-1 tie, England’s Old Trafford “The Theatre of Dreams” would play the host to the final ninety minutes of their two leg series where who would move on to the quarterfinals was to be decided. After a tightly contested first half, Manchester United went up 1-nil before a controversial red card given to United midfielder Nani put the Red Devils down a man and changed the game. Madrid scored two goals, including the final one from former United star Cristiano Ronaldo to advance to the quarterfinals at the expense of England’s biggest club. After the game Madrid manager Mourinho stated that “the best team lost” in being modest of United’s brave performance

in the two matches being foiled by a red card that shrouded the match in controversy. But these 180 minutes between two of the sport’s best team’s entrenched an opinion that might not be popular amongst North American sports fans. The Champions League is the hardest trophy to win in professional sports. It is actually such an easy argument to make that it is shocking that the tournament doesn’t get a higher respect in North America. To qualify to the UEFA Champions League you need to be one of the best teams in your country’s pro league, making the 32 team tournament instantly difficult. Imagine if the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB were all leagues of the same sport and the top three/four from each league would make the playoffs? That is what the Champions League essentially is, a collection of the best sporting talent in Europe in one place. To qualify you need to first have a season where you are hands down one of the best in your country, then the next year you get a shot at the Champions League. Then once you are in the Champions League, you still have to manage to compete at the same high level in your league to get back to the CL while focusing on winning the tournament. Both things keep happening

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig simultaneously. You keep trying to get into the Champions League in your domestic season on the weekends while trying to win the Champions League during extra matches during the week. Score some extra degree of difficulty for the tournament. Once you qualify into the tournament, things don’t get any easier. Three home and three away fixtures determine your fate after a draw is done to determine the group stage pool. Every year one of Europe’s best fail to

make it out of the group stage. Including the English Premier League champions two years in a row with Manchester United failing to advance in 2011/12 and Manchester City finishing last in their group in 2012/13‘s group stage. Advantage once again to the UCL. If your team does make it into the knockout stage, things once again do not get any more relaxed. Three rounds of two leg series will stand in your way of the final.

Boost your Business without Cutting your Prices Smart business people know that your options to stand out from the competition are limited… Cut prices? Not very profitable. Improve product quality? Certainly, but that can take substantial time

“Our results using Jeff’s concepts have been tremendous, with overall sales up over 300% compared to last year.” Jim Bobst, Manager, CUETS

and money. The fastest, most cost-effective way to differentiate yourself is to focus on your service. Customer service can no longer be merely average or simply friendly; it needs to be remark-able. Here’s your opportunity to make that happen for your team…

Attend Jeff Mowatt’s half day seminar, “The Art of Customer Service… Influence with Ease” Jeff believes that today’s customers no longer value you as an information provider. For information, customers can search Google in less than a second and it’s free. Free is worthless. Fortunately however, there are 3 core elements that customers do want from you–better yet to receive them, they are willing to pay a premium. You’ll discover how to apply these 3 elements so you’re perceived less as an information provider or order-taker, and more as a Trusted Advisor. Plus much more.

What a nice feeling to see more sun and the odd puddle in our district. But we all know winter is not over yet. In our last edition we thanked the city crew for the great job of cleaning up the majority of our streets and in some areas even the back lanes. The city is spending a lot of money on cleanup but if you compare our streets to that of Regina or Saskatoon, it’s worth it.
