Spring session has begun, and the acting leader of the NDP John Nilson says that his party is going to work to keep the ruling Saskatchewan Party accountable. Nilson says the nine members of his party currently in the legislature have gained confidence after the first winter session, and have been preparing to get back to work over the past several months to do their job. The interim leader believes that Premier Brad Wall is “talking out of both sides of his mouth,” as the Saskatchewan Party has stated that the budget for 2012 will likely see some belt tightening on the provincial side, and also that the economy is going strong. “I think a real theme over the next session from our perspective is to see if this is a government of words or a government of actions, and what we’re intending to do is ask simple questions about how they said they were going to do this, and what happened?” Nilson says.

Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive! SGI has announced it is joining Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) Saskatchewan in support of Impaired Driving Awareness Week, proclaimed by the provincial government this week – March 5-9 in Saskatchewan. The annual week, originally proclaimed in 1999, raises awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving, which is the number one contributing factor in fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. Preliminary numbers show that in 2011, there were more than 1,200 collisions involving alcohol, resulting in more than 500 injuries and nearly 50 fatalities. Reducing impaired driving is one of SGI’s traffic safety priorities and SGI recognizes that the work SADD does helps reduce alcohol-related collisions. “I commend SADD for their work educating people across the province on the dangers and risks involved with impaired driving,” says Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “The student leaders with SADD are excellent role models for their peers and in their communities.” SADD has organized a speaker’s tour to spread this message across the province. This year, paramedic Ted Swan will talk to high school students about each gripping step of a trauma call. Throughout his 18 years of experience, and attending to more than 16,000 ambulance calls, Swan knows first-hand the devastating effects a crash has on everyone involved. SADD received $6,000 from SGI’s Community Grant Program to hold the Impaired Driving Awareness Week speaker’s tour. Presentations were slated for high schools in Estevan, Oxbow, Melville, Yorkton, Canora, Humboldt, Colonsay, Muenster and LeRoy.
International Women’s Day celebration March 8 is recognized as International Women’s Day around the globe and Yorkton is joining in for the celebrations. A special event with the theme, “Mentoring Leadership Roles for Economic Security” has been planned for this evening and all are welcome to attend.

Dream Video anniversary contest announced It’s your chance to shine and win. The Provincial government has announced the Saskatchewan Dream
Video Contest in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building.
“This contest gives Saskatchewan’s young artists the opportunity to get real hands-on experience planning, shooting
and editing their films, while also celebrating this wonderful province,” Minister responsible for the Provincial
NDP plans to hold gov’t accountable Con’t from Page 1.
One of the primary concerns for the NDP will be healthcare. He says that the number of calls for problem solving complaints in health regions have gone up 40 per cent, and he says his party intends to find out why. He believes it’s due to the health budgets being flat. “We’re also watching closely to see if there are any incidents like what happened in Humboldt, where people have been living for ten years in a residence are told to move in three or four weeks, totally disrupting a community that has been built there. Last week we had a similar situation in Moose Jaw, where at Valley View, where developmentally disabled people have been, some of them for 40 years, they’re told their community is going to be torn apart. When asked if there was a plan, we were told there is a plan to make a plan. That’s not good management, that’s not what the public expects. In Saskatchewan, they expect common-sense solutions, balanced solutions,” Nilson says. He also says the priority for the government is to listen to health regions and respond to requests for resources. He maintains there needs to be more effort to recruit doctors, especially from within the local universities. He points to the number of vacancies increasing from 86 to 136 in four years as showing how much work needs to be done in physician recruitment. He says it’s clear that what is being done right now “isn’t working.” “In every part of the province we have communities that are very frustrated, especially since most of these communities have taken a lot of town or RM revenue to support a doctor, and they’re not getting the appropriate help from the government.” He says that there needs to be aggressive recruitment at prairie universities to fill those vacancies, and work with the medical profession to recruit. Nilson also says that there needs to be support for capital projects in municipalities, and he says there is not enough support for these projects at any level of government. He believes without more support for capital projects, we’ll see problems with housing and new facilities. “If you want to run for mayor or as a new councilor, you usually have some hopes and dreams for your community. If you’ve gotten the word from both the province and the federal government that the money isn’t there, the revenues at the municipal level are basically taxes, which you have to increase, or the GST money that has been committed.” Another area where Nilson sees a problem is
policing, as the premier has said the RCMP budget will shift more to the cities which use it. He says there will be little choice for municipalities that use the RCMP other than increasing property taxes.
“We know that the economy is doing well, but it appears that there is a management problem with finances.” Nilson would also like to thank the party’s supporters, who have been writing them with advice and
questions to assist in the coming session. He would specifically like to thank Yorkton for the support surrounding Jimmy’s Law, the legislation surrounding the safety of overnight workers in the province.
12032DS01
Capital Commission Bill Hutchinson says. The contest is open to students in Grades nine through 12 who are currently enrolled in a Saskatchewan school or home-based education program. Individuals or teams up to three students can email their written concepts describing a short video based on the Legislative Building in Regina and the provincial theme of Building the Saskatch-
ewan Dream. Submissions must not exceed 400 words and should be tailored for a five minute video. “As Saskatchewan marks this milestone, students will have the opportunity to share their ideas about what this century-old significant building represents to them and the province,” Education Minister Donna Harpauer says.

Be fraud smart – stay protected March is Fraud Awareness Month and while we would all like to think “it can’t happen to us,” it can and it does. RCMP are reminding residents to be aware that just because we may live in small town Saskatchewan it doesn’t mean we are untouchable. Technology is booming and that gives criminals an edge. We may not like it but we have to acknowledge it exists and act accordingly. Saskatchewan RCMP have kicked off this month by alerting the public of some of the most common frauds in the country and they say to remember Saskatchewan is not immune to fraud. Debit and credit card fraud have become big business both for individuals and organized groups. The RCMP report they are seeing dramatic yearly increases in skimming type frauds and they advise customers to get in the habit of protecting their pin and monitor their bank statements for unusual transactions. “If you notice something contact your bank and if you think it’s fraud call the police.” In a perfect world we wouldn’t have to worry about such matters but unfortunately the fact is, it’s not perfect. Be aware, be smart and stay protected both this month and beyond...
Done like dinner, is a ban the answer? If you ask me it should be up to the individual business owner, and as a paying customer, if don’t like it, take your business elsewhere. There’s a new debate on the horizon and it involves a topic that’s near and dear to everyone’s heart – our precious children. But sometimes they don’t seem so precious... for example, when you sit down to a nice meal in a swanky restaurant and there are children running around, screaming, crying and acting like they’re on the playground. It’s because this happens so often that a lot of restaurants are taking action, some going to the point of banning children. But do you think this is acceptable? Well that depends on who you ask. As a parent I’ve definitely been there. When my kids were small I took them out, sometimes to McDonalds, sometimes to places like let’s say, ‘Red Lobster.’ To me it didn’t matter which it was, the second a tantrum broke out, or tears, or whatever the case may have been, I removed myself and my child from the situation. To me that’s just common sense. Nobody wants to hear a child (or anyone for that matter) throw a fit when they’re trying to enjoy a nice meal. So it’s out of respect for fellow diners (and in an effort to instill basic manners) that you
take action. When I was little that’s how I was brought up and if we (my siblings and I) wanted to go out with our parents we knew the rules... and we played by them. Back then going out was a treat and there was no way I was out! Shannon Deveau missing I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been out though, both in the past and today, where kids have been screaming, running, throwing things and just generally being completely disrespectful... and the parent or parents just sit there. What’s with that? While it shouldn’t be necessary to state the obvious, as some restaurants have done by publicly placing signs in regards to the behaviour of children, apparently it is. If you’re losing business for whatever reason, as a business owner you look to remedy the problem. There are plenty of family oriented restaurants out there so if it’s your choice to opt out of allowing children in your establishment then I say, the more power to you. If you’re the parent who sits by while your child throws a fit and you’re upset by this I think you need to rethink your parenting and social skills. Children, or adults, if you want to act out, then head to the proper environment.
The way I see it... Column
It is not very hard to find out about somebody Right now, if one desires, they can find information on many different subjects by just looking at their phone. It has never been easier to find out information on different subjects quite quickly, and it’s possible to do it almost anywhere you are. So it’s always disappointing for me to find people who will gleefully declare that they are unaware of something. It’s a trend I noticed a few years ago in the reaction to some awards at the Grammys, where some winners who were a bit more obscure inspired a number of people to declare, loudly, that they had never heard of the winning band. I thought it was quite silly – the band was performing at the show, now was their chance to hear of them – but I mostly ignored it, because I assumed that it was just an overblown response from people upset their favorite artist didn’t win. I bring it up now because it’s something that I keep seeing, in all areas of life. For instance, a CBC online poll indicated that 80 per cent of people had no opinion on Saskatchewan’s new Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Schofield, because they had “never heard of this person.” This poll was at the bottom of an article about Schofield, which suggests that the people didn’t bother looking at most of the words printed immediately above the poll before voting.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger I’m not saying that people needed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Schofield before learning of her appointment. I didn’t know who she was before the appointment was announced either, and I’m sure that many other people in the province didn’t know much about her. That’s perfectly fine, but now that she is Lieutenant Governor, it’s quite easy to find even the most basic information about her, enough to get a basic idea of how well she might fill the role. Considering how easy it is to find information, just saying “I’ve never heard of this person” is a lazy way out. After all, now you have heard of this person, and here’s an opportunity to learn about them, why not
take it? There are issues people have no interest in, groups they’re not concerned with and parts of the world that they don’t want to learn more about. People can’t know everything about the world, and I’m not saying they should be expected to. My point is that there’s no benefit in going to a place where information is found easily and then proudly declaring that you know nothing about it. That doesn’t help anything, and it doesn’t make someone look very intelligent – especially since the information they need to know is often right there, easy to find and understand. It’s becoming more difficult to say you don’t know the details and implications of an issue, given how connected everyone is most of the time. I can understand not wanting to learn about certain events, or keeping away from some parts of our culture. But if one declares that they don’t know or understand something, it is clear that it is a deliberate effort to avoid this information, since it’s so easy to find out what it is. While it’s acceptable to avoid minor things like the intricacies of tabloid fodder, there are going to be issues that actually will have an impact on people’s lives. Proudly declaring one doesn’t understand or know about these issues is no longer an acceptable course of action.

Your letter of the Week
Curing all that ails health care
A need must be demonstrated for power
To the Editor:
With all the talk of healthcare recently, people can be forgiven for thinking something is being done to address issues plaguing the system. There is some good news. The Federal governments’ new laissez-faire approach to funding, and the efforts by PEI Premier Robert Ghiz and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall to search for innovations in health care delivery, are both positive steps. Neither, however, will have much impact on things that matter; costs, system capacity or access. The reason is simple enough. These and other initiatives underway in Canada are all products of the same thinking that gave us the problems we are now trying to solve. Our health care issues won’t be solved by yesterdays thinking. Unfortunately, few things are more ‘yesterday’ than current health care thinking and it has a name – command-and-control. Management guru Edwards Deming called it a “prison”. More recently, former Vice-Chairman of General Motors Bob Lutz called it, “bean counting management,” a “creeping malignancy that transformed the once all powerful, world dominating American economy from one that produced and exported to one that trades and imports...” What command-and-control did to GM and the American economy, it’s doing to the Canadian healthcare system. So much activity and so little to show for it. The Canadian Institute for Health Information reports that after a decade and millions of dollars of effort, there is ‘some evidence’ that progress is being made in reducing wait times. To translate, that means there’s plenty of evidence that no progress is being made at all. The professional management-by-numbers approach, like its paint-by-numbers counterpart, is a poor excuse for the real thing.
Take for example the bigger-is-better belief that dominates our thinking. Productivity not what it should be? Scale-up the facility, increase the production run or lot size. Input costs too high? Buy in bulk. Consolidate Human Resources into one massive centralized department. Do the same for Purchasing and Asset Management. Have a choice between several small IT systems, and one enterprisewide behemoth? Choose the latter. Confronted with 200 independent health organizations? Merge them into a single Super-Board behemoth. Why? In theory, because of economies of scale. In the real world, however, this is always an operational disaster. While centralizing improves coordination and control, it’s the least effective, most costly, means of doing so, producing large bureaucracies with run-away costs. Sound familiar? Likewise, consolidating functions and bulk purchasing lowers costs sensitive to economies of scale, but it increases costs sensitive to diseconomies of scale or economies of flow. Bulk purchasing allowed Alberta Health Services to pay about half the regular unit price for H1N1 vaccine, but the additional costs in handling these large quantities, including dumping half the inventory, more than made up for it. This same command-and-control thinking pursues increased asset utilization as a means of increasing efficiency. Its successful pursuit in Alberta has produced only inefficiency and long wait times. Why? Because increasing utilization also produces exponential declines in throughput (capacity), exacerbating both costs and wait times. Our system is awash in that other product of management-by-numbers, performance targets and measures. These contribute to declines in performance because the targets are set independently of actual performance capability - like expecting a Cessna to fly Mach 1. No surprise then, that
Alberta continually fails to meet its targets. Each new round of failure is met with both a promise that next time will be different and the ritual flailing of those responsible. This is ‘the beatings will continue until moral improves’ approach to performance improvement. We are witnessing the organizational train wreck that comes with professional management-by-numbers thinking. But is the commandand-control model really to blame? Perhaps, as one senior Canadian healthcare executive put it to me: “We just made a lot of very bad decisions.” He is right, but this avoids the real issue; WHY did we make so many bad decisions? The answer is, because we bought into the bean counting view of management. We believed you could run a hospital from the 42nd floor of head office. We needed health guys, real managers running things. We got numbers guys, professional managers reading reports and writing strategies. We can only turn things around when we dump command-and-control and put our trust back into the people we hired to do the job. That someone responsible for running a hospital can’t make a $1,000 decision without months of effort pushing 50 pages of documentation up through unknown levels of approval, is an absurdity. Alberta’s new five-year plan includes adding; “12 new treatment spaces to the emergency department at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.” It’s as if the Board of Toyota was directly involved in the planning to build 20 more Corollas than expected next year. The amount of waste and cost in this degree of micro-managing is almost incalculable. So is its impact on innovation. Change requires moving beyond paint-by-numbers to the real thing. Robert Gerst, Troy Media Corporation.
Acting in the best interest of the farmers (Editor’s Note: the following is an Open Letter to Ian White, CEO and Wade Sobkowich, Executive Director of the Canadian Wheat Board Western Grain Elevator Association) Dear Mr. White and Sobkowich: On behalf of tens of thousands of successful farmers who eagerly anticipate a new wheat and barley era, we strongly encourage both private grain companies and the new voluntary Canadian Wheat Board to use all possible resources to suc-
cessfully conclude their ongoing negotiations on handling agreements. The Grain Growers’ policy has always been marketing choice for farmers, and that means a healthy and strong CWB with pooling options offered as well as a proactive private sector grain industry. In the Ministerial taskforce on changes to the Canadian Wheat Board mandate, the private sector expressed a strong willingness to handle grain on behalf of the new Wheat Board. As a result of this expressed interest, a number of us felt that it was premature to recom-
mend regulated access to facilities. Having said that, we can imagine the complexity of negotiating issues around access to inland and terminal facilities, shippers of record, blending gains, a pricing formula for grade differences and other issues. We do appreciate this does take some time. However, it has been close to two months now and farmers are starting to wonder when the CWB will be active in new crop contracting. The businessorientated farmers we represent are looking to lock in prices and profits
up to a year in advance in many cases. Therefore we urge both sides to commit the resources and time needed to get handling agreements in place so that marketing choice becomes reality. It is in the interests of all prairie farmers, to ensure a successful future for both the CWB and for the private sector. Stephen Vandervalk, President, Grain Growers of Canada and Richard Phillips, Executive Director, Grain Growers of Canada.
Conservatives betray Sask on MS issues? To the Editor: While Brad Wall’s provincial government tries to pursue helpful answers about the best possible treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and related conditions, the federal government keeps throwing gravel in the gears. The latest episode took place last night in the House of Commons. MPs were called to vote on Private Member’s Bill C-280, as presented by Liberal MP, Dr. Kirsty Duncan. A Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Duncan is a tireless crusader for MS patients. Many people who suffer from MS, a neurological disease, also appear to have a vascular disorder known as “chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency” (CCSVI). This latter
problem can sometimes be relieved by a procedure similar to angioplasty (but unavailable in Canada), which improves blood flows through veins in the neck. In some people, the angioplasty treatment for CCSVI also alleviates the symptoms of MS. The relationship between the two is what needs to be thoroughly researched, to move from anecdotes to solid conclusions, more effective treatments and a better quality of life. Bill C-280 would have complemented the research and testing being pursued by Saskatchewan. It would have forced the Harper government to convene an urgent federal-provincial conference of health ministers to: • develop a national strategy for dealing with CCSVI; ensure proper
healthcare is never denied to any Canadian on the sole ground they went out-of-country to get CCSVI treatment; identify the most valuable clinical trials to be undertaken in Canada; estimate the funding required from all governments; establish an advisory panel of experts having real experience with CCSVI; and ensure accurate tracking of all Canadian patients. This is surely just common sense. But inexplicably, at the behest of the federal Health Minister, the Conservatives voted it down. Bill C-280 was defeated by a scant margin of six, with 10 Conservative MP’s from Saskatchewan among those who killed it. Shameful! Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.
To the Editor: Despite being very outspoken on the question of crime, Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems far from eager to discuss the “Lawful Access” legislation, bill C-30, that will allow invasive online spying without a warrant. The proposed legislation will force every phone and Internet provider to allow “authorities” to collect the private information of any Canadian, at any time, without a warrant. This will create legislation that is: Warrantless: A range of “authorities” will have the ability to invade the private lives of lawabiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile devices, without justification.
“The proposed legislation will force every phone and Internet provider to allow “authorities” to collect the private information of any Canadian, at any time, without a warrant.” Invasive: The laws leave our personal and financial information less secure and more susceptible to cybercrime. Costly: Internet services providers may be forced to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will be passed down to you. Canada’s Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart, has voiced her concerns about online spying repeatedly, and has called for strengthened oversight and privacy safeguards in the bills. Any proposals to expand telecommunications surveillance must be based on a clear need for new powers, which must be demonstrated by verifiable evidence. And these new powers must include comprehensive internal controls, clear oversight, meaningful deterrents, and a system of enforcement. Visit www.stopspying.ca to learn more and sign the petition.

New exhibits unveiled at the Godfrey Dean Friends inspire local artist By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
KENTON DOUPE has a new exhibit at the Godfrey Dean art gallery. It is a collection of 100 portraits of people he knows, culled from their profile pictures on Facebook.
Kenton Doupe is inspired by the people around him. The young artist made 100 portraits of friends, family and people he looks up to, and put them together for one of the new shows at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. Doupe says the project began with a larger scale portrait he made for a friend, and continued as people began asking him for their picture in the same style. “One of them said you should do it for everyone, so I said alright, and I ended up doing one for just about everyone I knew,” he details. Doupe starts with a profile picture on Facebook, and proceeds to make it into a stencil. Once that is completed, he
cuts out the image and sprays the portrait. He says it takes about an hour to get the finished portrait put together. “I started on the top of Facebook and just scroll down, writing down the people,” he says. The Dean opening was the first time Doupe saw the finished product, and he says that he’s amazed at how it turned out, and the impact of seeing all the people from his life in the space. He says that he’s happy about the reaction to the show. Once this event is complete, Doupe says the portraits are going to be given to the people portrayed, and for himself he’s going to continue his artwork. He says he’s anticipating warmer weather so he can start doing spray paint work again, similar to the style used in the show.
Exploring the connection between mines and architecture By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer While the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery has a local focus this month, the work of Kristopher Grunert has an international flavor. The photographer has travelled the world taking photos of many different structures, with modern architecture and mines making up the work presented in the gallery. “This is a culmination of about ten years of work photographing architectural and industrial subjects. This show is showing all the work I’ve been doing for that long,” Grunert says. The exhibit connects photos of mines with images of modern architecture, buildings which have a unique aesthetic and make a visual statement. Grunert says it’s all about the story of how the building gets made, from the raw material to the

completed structure. “I want to remind people that everything that we have comes from the earth. So really, I’m wanting to show the appreciation I have for the earth and the processes we have to extract, refine and produce raw materials which then are used to build these great structures. Everything in those buildings has come from those mines, and it has taken a great amount of energy for that process,” he explains. The artist says his fascination with mines began as a young boy, and the show begins with his first photo and continues to the work he is doing now. “I found the very first photograph I ever took, and it was on a road trip with my parents when I was 13, and it was a picture of an open pit mine. It’s exciting to me to see how it has all come together.” The majority of the work is commissioned, but Grunert says that the line between the personal work and the commercial was always very thin. He also says the show removes the
line entirely, and seeing the work together has emphasized how he has put his personal take on the subjects. “It’s a personal journey that I’m on, capturing what I see and what I learn.” The scale and complexity of the projects is what is fascinating to Grunert, and he feels that the initial scale of that first project he saw is what hooked him onto the subject. He says it’s also rewarding to learn about different processes and watching both mining and architectural companies becoming finding ways to be more responsible to the environment and make a smaller impact in the areas where they’re made. “An architect’s goal is to uplift the people that come in contact with the building, and they know that by doing it efficiently and with respect to the environment around them is important to people experiencing the structure.” The show runs at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery until April 13. Admission is free.
K R I S T O P H E R GRUNERT explores the connection between mines and architecture in a new exhibition currently at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. The local photographer says that the subject has fascinated him since he took his first photograph at age 13. 12032AA02

Expanding international roles Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, led our country’s first hesitant steps onto a global stage. The world seemed bigger a century and a half ago. Communications and travel were far less accessible. If Sir John A. could read just a few of our current Prime Minister’s international activities and announcements in the last year alone, he would be astounded to discover how expanded his role and Canada’s international presence had become. • Tourism contributes heavily to our economy – nearly $15 billion in 2010. In China a few weeks ago, Mr. Harper launched the Canadian Tourism Commission’s new 2012 tourism marketing campaign, which showcased the many unique experiences our country offers. The PM also furthered a deal which allows the Chinese to purchase Canadian yellowcake uranium, for use in appropriate civilian purposes. (Saskatchewan is one of the world’s largest producers.)The uranium will encourage cleaner energy than the coal China currently relies on to run its plants. • Last November, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings in Hawaii, the Prime Minister explained that “Canada’s growing commercial ties with the Asia-Pacific region are generating jobs and economic growth here at
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz home.” APEC’s efforts benefit all 21 member economies – including Canada’s – and strengthen our global economy. • Canada remains committed to addressing global hunger, the scope of which John A. Macdonald could never have envisioned. Last October, Mr. Harper announced the second phase of a “highly successful initiative to support research aimed at providing people in developing countries with a more secure supply of food with greater nutritional value.” • Last autumn, Mr. Harper met with other Commonwealth Leaders in Australia, to discuss common goals of strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth, recovery from the global financial crisis, global political developments, and building a more secure and safe world. • During an official visit to Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Honduras in August, the Prime Minister collaborated with others on shared areas of security and highlighted Canada’s many successes to date in the region. • Last May, he partici-
pated in the G-8 Summit, to discuss pressing international issues, such as situations in the Middle East and North Africa, global peace and security challenges. • Last spring, the Prime Minister and other world leaders met in Paris to coordinate implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Libya. Canada contributed actively to protect Libyan citizens during the ending of the Gaddafi regime. • In early 2011, the PM announced Canada’s assistance to New Zealand, after the massive Christchurch earthquake. All that, and more, in just a year. The Prime Minister continues to expand Canada’s international presence and influence. Why are these international relations important? Not only is having a positive influence around the world the right thing to do, but it also helps us economically. Maintaining good relations with all countries has many benefits for our own citizens. Sir John A. would be pleased.
CONCEPTUAL PLAN – The Health Foundation’s campaign for a conceptual plan got another major contributor, as Penguin Refrigeration contributed $2,500 to the project. Pictured above, Brad Schmidt, Larry Harris and Grant Dutchack, owners of Penguin Refrigeration present the cheque to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. Dutchak says they’re supporting the project because it’ll benefit everyone in the area.

No one told me grief feels like fear
“No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. We experience the same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness... There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or it is perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting...” C. S. Lewis, from ‘A Grief Observed’ Many people try to handle this fear from grief by trying to distract themselves from the pain through busyness, or turning into workaholics. Others want to medicate their pain with drugs, alcohol or inappropriate relationships. All of this is understandable, but none of it helps the problem – in fact it compounds the problem. Grief feels like fear and this fear does not feel good. There is confusion, disorientation; times we feel we are going crazy, and times we just wish we could fall sleep; and when we wake up this would all be behind us and the pain would be gone. You may be seeing changes in yourself. If you were once a very open individual, you may be surprised if you have become emotionally withdrawn from others. This is also natural. It is your way of temporarily protecting yourself from
FROM MOURNING TO JOY... Column by Margaret Anne Yost pain. You may be seeing other changes in yourself, as well. For instance, if you were an individual who always felt in control of life and you had an ‘everything has its place’ personality you may be taken off guard by your disorganization or forgetfulness. This is also normal. For the time being, all of your emotional energy is being channelled into comprehending and understanding your loss. It will take time to work through our grief. Over time our pain becomes less intense. This doesn't mean that the person has become less important to us. It just means that we have adjusted in some ways to the loss and our pain. “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted,” He comforts those who walk through this valley with the comfort of His nearness. He comes to us in our hour of sorrow. He draws near and walks with us in our grief and pain. “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.” – C.S. Lewis, A

Park success celebrated
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Yorkton Skateboard, Bike and Walking Park is a project focused on youth, so it makes sense that the cheque for the Aviva Community Fund prize was presented at the Yorkton Regional High School. The $150,000 prize, the largest awarded in this year’s competition, was recently presented to the city by Aviva, and now it’s time to start planning. Nathan Grayston, cochair of the Yorkton Skateboard Association, says that being involved in the design process for the new park is a dream come true. “We’ve already got a few proposals from skateboard companies, we’re in the review process at the moment. It’s really exciting,” Grayston says. He promises that the park will have features for all different skill levels and styles, and
that the final design will be something anyone can enjoy. “There are going to be street features, transition features like halfpipes, bowls and stair sets, and a good mix of everything from beginner to expert. It’ll be a really well developed park with lots of ground for everybody,” Grayston says. Grayston says that he was constantly amazed by the support the project received from everyone in the community. He says it was eye opening to see how enthusiastic everyone became about the project. “We had a dedicated group of volunteers and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without that group. We had amazing support from the business community and the city,” he notes. “You think about the image of skateboarders and you kind of think people have a negative view of skateboarders, but I was totally sur-

prised. It was an eye opening experience for me, everyone was so supportive of this idea.”

Terriers in a dog fight with Millionaires By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Despite a promising start last Friday night, the hometown favorites the Yorkton Terriers have found themselves in a real dog fight in the first round of the Sherwood Conference playoffs. Their Highway 10 rivals, the Melville Millionaires, took a 2-1 lead in the best of seven games series with a pair of narrow, one goal wins, the first in overtime in Melville and the second with a last minute goal in the Terriers barn. The Terriers opened the series outshooting the visiting Mils 45-20 on the way to a 4-1 win in Game 1 at the Farrell Agencies Arena. Riley Patterson opened the scoring with about a minute left in the first period assisted by Brent Struble to give the home team a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Tyler Geibel lit up the board for Yorkton in the second period with his first of two, a powerplay marker, assisted by Chase Norrish to give Yorkton a two goal margin after two periods. Struble made it 3-0 for Yorkton early in the final frame assisted by Riley Paterson. Melville winger Ian McNulty scored Melville’s lone goal at the eight minute mark and change in the third period. Giebel capped the scoring with his second goal of the game, an empty net marker to clinch the 4-1 win in the first game of the best of seven series. Terrier netminder was

The Millionaires definitely came out to play on their home ice Saturday as they scored three times in about four minutes of the opening period to open up a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes. Colin Mospanchuk, McNulty and Alex Elliott each eluded Terrier netminder Shymko. Giebel opened the scoring

Norrish earned an assist on Oliver’s first marker while Devon McMullen claimed an assist on his second. Lucas Froese maintained the Millionaire lead with Melville’s lone second period goal. Mospanchuk handed the
Mils a two goal edge with an early third period powerplay marker. Two third period goals in under a minute tied the game for the Terriers. Struble’s powerplay goal at 9:09 pulled Yorkton within one goal assisted by Giebel and Norrish. Ryon Sookro tied the game less than a minute later assisted by McLeod. Continued on Page 19.
Vintage snowmobile race raises $50,000 By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The 12th annual Saltcoats Vintage Snowmobile 100 Mile Race went ahead despite some concerns about snow conditions earlier in the week. Saltcoats fire chief and race coordinator Harry Smith says the event, which started as a fund raising project for the Saltcoats volunteer fire department 12 years ago, has raised close to $50,000 during that time, for fire department equipment and resources. Smith admits to some concern over the lack of snow initially which almost forced cancellation of this year’s race. “The end result was the guys’ll race on dirt if they have to,” Smith chuck-
les. This year competing sleds must be 1974 and older single cylinder snowmobiles. One of the original, if not the original races of vintage sleds has been joined over the years by similar events around the province, Smith notes. This year he reports 27 competitors showed up to race from as far away as Min nesota. This year Yorkton seemed to be the northern limit to send racers, Smith notes. The race ran 100 miles around a 3.3 mile course, making it a 33 lap race at Saltcoats Regional Park this year. Both individuals and teams take part in the race, Smith says. This year, he
estimates about half of the racers are iron manning the race, that is, driving the entire 33 laps for 100 miles. He also points out that four of the competitors were over 50 years old. Racers seem to be guys who just like the old sleds better than the new high tech equipment, Smith suggests. “I’ve got a 19 year-old kid who’d sooner drive an old Sno-Jet than a brand new sled. Unbelievable!” he adds. This year also featured a kid’s race ahead of the main 100 mile race. The race is for youngsters on Kittie Kats and similar sleds. In an effort to interest youngsters to become involved in the event, there’s no entry fee and everyone who enters
wins a trophy, Smith reports. “We’re just trying to make the little guys feel welcome here too,” he suggests. Smith expresses a huge thank you to everybody who helped to organize and stage the annual event. “It’s amazing how many people out of the community will come out and pitch in and that is greatly appreciated,” he closes. Results in the 100 mile race were: First, Scott Griffith from Atwater, driving Number 27 owned by Harry Smith; Second, Pete Minderman from Minnesota, U.S.A. (Note: Both Griffiths and Minderman iron manned the entire race.); Third, team of Tyler and Kirby Buchinski of Saltcoats, driving the sled owned by Joel Armbruster.

YCC bonspiel wraps up ladies curling season By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Curling Club (YCC) held its annual ladies’ bonspiel last week. YCC representative Lorne Fruin says 16 teams were entered in the wind-up event this year. Entries were down a little from the 24 teams entered last year. There were two big competing events taking place this year, Fruin notes, the Kinsmen Telemiracle and the Tim Horton’s Briar, which may have caused the downturn in entries. “Sometimes it’s hard to compete with these events,”
he offers which may have caused the downturn in entries. “Sometimes it’s hard to compete with these events,” he offers. This year the bonspiel had four events with some great sponsors, Fruin closes.

YRHS Grade 9 boys claim ECDAA championship Yorkdale Central School Hosted the East Central District Athletic Association Junior High School Boys Basketball Championship over the weekend. The championship tournament featured the eight best teams in the Good Spirit School Division. The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) Grade 9 team coached by Perry Ostapowich emerged as tournament champions. The tournament went very well, says Ostapowich. “We went into the tournament seeded Number 1,” he reports. The YRHS boys swept the event, winning all three games, Ostapowich notes. YRHS downed Langenburg 80-22 in their opening game. It was a good game for his team as all players hit the scoresheet and the boys worked the offence well, Opstapowich points out. In their second game against Preeceville, YRHS came out on top of a 53-19 score. YRHS forwards were able to control the boards in the game resulting in a number of rebound points. Forward Peter Kozushka scored 12 points, Jon Muir accounted for nine while Alex Poppoff put up 15 points and Ryan Krochak with six points did a good job at the point guards post ions. Other scorers included Jesse McDowell, Calin Bugera, Darius Haberstock and Matthew McKee each added two points while Tanner Mak scored five
more. In the tournament final YRHS claimed the title 47-31 over runnersup Canora. Canora was by far the biggest team YRHS faced all year. In the first half their low post players out muscled Yorkton on rebounds making for a pretty physical game. YRHS forward Jon Muir fouled out early resulting in a need to shuffle personnel, moving point guard Alex Popoff to a post position. The score after the first half was very close with YRHS leading by seven. The second half saw YRHS change the offence a bit by driving the key, resulting in a number of Canora fouls and ball movement by Krochak and Mak which resulted in the forwards getting some quality scoring opportunities. Canora had trouble with Yorkton’s full court press in the second half and YRHS scored 12 points on turn overs alone. Defensively the boys really picked it up limiting Canora to only eight points in the second half. Ostapowich says the tight defense and forced turnovers really made a big difference in the game. Haberstock played his best defence of the year while Bugera and Popoff did a good job controlling the defensive rebounds. Scorers in the tournament final were Krochak with 12

was a good group of athletes who played hard defense, were creative on the offensive side of the ball and were eager to learn, Ostapowich closes.
YMATC Snow Slam tournament features eight disciplines By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The eighth annual Abominable Snow Slam Open Martial Arts Tournament was hosted by the Yorkton Martial Arts Training Centre (YMATC) at Dr. Brass School Saturday. Tournament coordinator YMATC chief instructor Mike Forster
says the tournament featured eight events including empty hand forms, weapon forms, point sparring, weapon sparring, light kick boxing, as well as power brick and board breaking for black belt competitors. Empty hand forms involves floor exercise against imaginary opponents. Weapon forms are similar but with a
weapon rather than an empty hand, Forster explains. Point sparring involves gloves and boots where opponents try to touch/strike each other to score points. Weapons,
again is the same thing with weapons. Light kickboxing is sparring using 70 per cent contact with leg kicks on the outside only while wearing boxing gloves. Team spar-
ring is point sparring with teams of five competitors. Brick breaking is for males while board breaking involves females. The person who breaks the most bricks or
boards wins, Forster continues. This year Forster estimates about 130 athletes were on hand for the tournament from Saskatchewan and Alberta.

United U16 girls claim indoor soccer provincial title By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer
Besides the skill and talent of the players the success of the Yorkton United U16 girls’ soccer team this season has to be attributed in large measure to coaching, in this case, head coach Afredo Bermudez who has racked up an impressive list of wins over the years. This year the provincial indoor championship in Saskatoon crowned a very successful season which saw the girls claim four gold medals, one in each major tournament they entered. In Saskatoon the Yorkton United U16 girls swept to a Provincial Division 2 indoor title. The Yorkton U16s defeated the Tisdale Tornadoes 5-0 in their first game of the tournament. Rita Fetsch led the scoring with three goals while Kristen Jonassen and Canyon Desjarlais each added a goal. Game 2 saw another shutout win as Yorkton claimed a 4-0 victory over Regina Unidad. Fetsch led the way with a pair of goals. Kristen Jonassen and Kendra Varjassy scored a goal apiece. Yorkton tied a strong Prince Albert Celtic squad 1-1 with Fetsch scoring the game tying goal. As the game could not be left to end in a tie, Yorkton was awarded the win on a coin toss to place first in the pool and advance to the semifinal match. In the semi final match United
defeated the Humboldt Hurricanes 2-0 with a pair of goals scored by Fetsch to claim a berth in the final. The Yorkton girls won the championship over the runners-up Lloydminster Rustlers by a score of 4-1 in the tournament final. Fetsch and Jonassen wrapped up a phenomenal weekend with a pair of goals each. Yorkton United keeper Edie Schramm recorded three shutouts the U16 squad. Bermudez says he’s proud of the performance of his team which was made up of both Under 14 and Under 16 girls. “Everybody did their part,” he says. He singles out Fetsch as the team’s top scorer at every tournament which the girls won. “Other coaches didn’t know what to do with her. I was glad to have her on my team,” Bermudez reports. He points out that the team’s wins were a team effort. Right from the keeper forward through the defenders, midfielders and forwards, all contributed to the team’s successful season. This girls completed the season winning gold in all four tournaments they entered this year. Their overall season record was 14 wins, one loss, and two ties. They scored 65 goals against opposing team while allowing only 11 goals against. The United U16 girls team also won the Fair Play Award for the most sportsmanlike team at provincials
PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS – The Yorkton United U16 girls team included: Back row (l to r) Coach Alfredo Bermudez, Kendra Varjassy, Roma Zulyniak, Lauren Maier, Darrian Desjarlais, Allison Berge, Kelsey Woloschuk, Assistant Coach Ashley Chillog, Assistant Coach Thor Berge. Front row (l to r) Canyon Desjarlais, Rita Fetsch, Edie Schramm, Caleigh Grunert, Kristen Jonassen. which was voted on by the tournament officials. With the indoor season completed, the team will continue to train until the outdoor soccer season opens. Bermudez says it was an honor to coach the team. Season’s like this one
don’t happen too often, he notes. “This has been our season,” he sums up. Looking ahead to the outdoor season, Bermudez is fairly confident that the team, with the same players, should have an equally successful summer.
Club hosts provincial A short course speed swim meet By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Storm Speed Swimming Club recently hosted the Provincial A Short Course Speed Swim Meet at the Gallagher Centre Water Park lane pool. Club media relations officer Mike Haczkewicz explains that Yorkton wasn’t originally scheduled to host the event. Prince Albert typically hosts this particular swim meet. However because of problems with the water in P.A., the Yorkton Storm club volunteered to host the meet. “It would be a lot of water to boil to fill their pool so we stepped up as a club,” Haczkewicz quips. Yorkton hosted the meet with the help of all the other clubs involved. Yorkton Storm head coach Ashley Benko says Yorkton had 11 swimmers taking part in the meet. Many are trying to set AA times to qualify for provincials in Winnipeg in two weeks. The Yorkton club speed swimmers have been preparing for this meet since last September. The event marks the end of the short course season. Swimmers will now move from a 25 metre pool to a 50 metre pool, Benko reports. “We don’t have one in Yorkton (a 50m pool) so we just pretend,” Benko notes. This year the Yorkton Storm Speed Swim Club boasts about 70 members, says Benko. Only 11 members qualified for the meet with a provincial A qualifying time, she points out. Yorkton swimmers did well at the meet, some achieving the desired AA times while others came very close, Benko reports. Benko wishes good luck to Jennifer Haczkewicz, Jessica Sanfleben and
Jayden Lang who will compete at the upcoming ManSask Swim meet in two weeks. Yorkton coaches include head coach Ashley Benko, Ashley Sim and Lindsey Schmidt. Trevor Baker the speed swim meet manager who is a Yorkton parent volunteer. It’s the parent volunteers who put together swim meets, Baker explains. While Yorkton has hosted swim meets for about four years, it’s the first time the club has hosted a provincial meet. “We were pretty excited to be able to host it. P.A. couldn’t have because of water issues, so Yorkton was happy to step up to the plate and bring this event to the city,” Baker elaborates. It takes a lot of volunteers to run the event. Baker points out. He offers a special thank you to local parent volunteers as well as all the parents of visiting teams who’ve pitched in to help. “We couldn’t do it without the help from the parents of visiting teams and from our own parents. It takes a lot of manpower to put on one of these, but it’s a great event for the kids,” Baker states. Yorkton will continue to host its own regular swim meet each year. Now that the club has hosted a provincial meet, Baker believes it is ready to help other clubs with speed swim meets. Baker says Yorkton has a great facility for speed swimming. He says visiting club comment on the facility. They liked it and enjoy it, he says. “It’s nice to be able to kind of show off Yorkton and have events in facilities like this,” Baker closes.

York City Classic teams donate to cancer society By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) and Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) senior boys basketball teams who hosted the York City Classic basketball tournament held at the end of January recently donated the gate proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. The donation was made in the name of Carla Gabel, the mother of one of the players who succumbed to breast cancer this past year, reports Jason Payne coach of the YRHS Senior Raiders. Payne and SHHS Senior Saints coach Garrett Karcha who cohosted the York City Classic decided to donate gate proceeds which came to $800 to charity and this year the cancer society was the recipient
in memory of Jake and Zak Gabel’s mother, Karcha explains. He says the Classic will continue to make similar donations to the cancer society in the future. Canadian Cancer Society representative Janet Sharpe says the society appreciates the donation. “It’s nice to see the kids are involved in raising funds being there to support each other, too,” Sharpe adds. Senior Saints team captain Nathan Ruff says the
donation was a very good idea. “It was kind of extra cool for me and Ben too because we’re both friends with Jake and Zak, Carla’s kids. It made it a little more special for us,” Ruff comments. Senior Raiders captain Ben Redl says he was all for the special donation as it shows support and remembrance for those who suffered through breast cancer and will go to help find a cure. “Everyone knows someone affected by cancer,” Redl closes.
Millionaires take series lead
Michael Desjarlais potted the overtime game winner to hand Melville a 6-5 win. Home ice held no advantage for the Terriers Monday night as the visiting Millionaires battled back from a two goal deficit to score the game winner with 22 seconds left on the clock. Froese scored the game opener, a powerplay goal, for the Mils early in the first period. Kelly Lessmeister replied for the Terriers to tie the game at one assisted by Kailum Gervais. Michael Sagan reestablished the Mils one goal edge. Nathan Murray tied the game a second time assisted by Giebel. Giebel notched Yorkton’s go-ahead goal to make it 3-2 after 20 minutes assisted by McMullen and Zak Majkowski. Elliott tied the game for the Mils late in the second frame. Brady Norrish gave the Terriers a one goal lead with a powerplay goal 30 seconds into the second period assisted by Struble. Mospanchuk the game for Melville early in the final frame. With just 22 seconds remaining in regulation time, Connor Bradshaw put the game away for the Millionaires. The win gave Melville a 2-1 lead in the best of seven series. Terrier head coach Trent Cassan says he thought the Terriers didn’t have as much jump to win races to loose pucks as they did early in the game. “A loss is a loss,” Cassan declares. “We have to rebound and be ready to go Wednesday,” he insists. There’s a fine line between winning and losing, he adds. “You’re winning and all of a sudden the pucks in the back of your net in the last minute and you’ve lost the game.’ Cassan doesn’t see too much he can or needs to change. He’d like to see a little more composure getting pucks through. The players did a good job at getting into lanes but seemed to be winding up almost too much at times, he suggests. Injuries have taken away the luxury of lineup changes for the next game, Cassan notes. “The guys who are out, are out for a reason,” he
says. There are a couple of things the Terriers need to do better in the next game, Cassan says. “A good start would be one,” he closes.

Top outdoorsmen recognized at YWF awards By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Wildlife Federation (YWF) held its annual awards banquet at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre Saturday night. YWF president Heath Dreger says the awards recognize achievement in a variety of outdoor activities ranging from fishing to big game hunting and photography. The YWF, a member of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF), shares a common missions statement which is, “to ensure the wildlife legacy that we leave to our children surpasses that which we inherited.” Dreger suggests the SWF is exceeding its stated mission. “If you look at the trophies being caught by fishermen these days and the quality of the animals being taken show that we’re doing well. The numbers speak volumes,” he points out. Conservation is also a huge part of the federation Dreger states. Must of that is achieved by the contributions of the Habitat Trust Fund where the SWF purchases land on behalf of the club and uses and preserves that land for wildlife and hunters and outdoors men to use. Local YWF projects include upgrades and renovations to the clubhouse, raising money to support the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP), an increase funding to the SWF and the Habitat Trust. In addition to those projects the YWF is partnering with the City of Yorkton’s new water treatment facility for an exciting new project. “In the future we’re looking to have a sustainable trout pond for a fishing opportunity within the city limits at Logan Green,” Dreger announces. The YWF is holding its own membership wise. Dreger hopes the club will begin to grow again as it attracts younger people who are coming back home. Anyone who’d like to join the YWF should contact any member, or director of the organization or Dreger him-
self at 783-7837.

Contributions of long time YWF members celebrated By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Wildlife Federation (YWF) celebrated the work of a local couple in the federation over the years. Norman (Norm) and Elaine Lutcher were honored with a special YWF award for their many contributions and services to the YWF and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF). An avid outdoors man, hunter and fisherman since he started fishing with his dad, Norm. He started shooting when he turned 15 years old and has been handling and shooting firearms ever since. He reports that he no longer shoots birds but continues to hunt deer, moose and elk.
A former provincial and national target and trap shooting champion, Norm has coached and mentored many young shooters several who’ve gone on to national and international acclaim, including his daughter Donna who started trap shooting as a 12 year old. As manager of the YWF trap Club, Norm continues to trap shoot to this day. He claims to shoot anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 rounds each summer. Norm proudly points to the SWF flag/banner with the whooping crane on a yellow background edged with a black bar on each end. He helped to design that flag along with Elaine and Elgin Strocen. Elaine joined the YWF in 1980. Both she and Norm served on the executive of both YWF and SWF. Norm has been president twice while Elaine has served as the only female president of the federation. She says she’s enjoyed every minute of her time with the organization. “My forte was cooking in the kitchen for the trap shoots. Now I do the bookwork and scorekeeping and that type of thing,” Elaine says. In addi-
tion to the cooking and bookwork, she says she liked to organize the federation events, banquets, meetings, trap shoots and conventions. “I convened the last four or five conventions here in Yorkton,” she recalls. She stopped trap shooting for about 20 years but plans to take it up again. She’s even purchased a new pink vest and pink hat for the occasion, she reports. She attended a fun turkey shoot in Swan River a couple of years ago and managed to win a turkey with a score of nine out of 10 in her first round which whetted her enthusiasm for trap shooting again. Elaine was also responsible for naming the YWF Hootie Owl Shoot which has become one of the most popular trap shooting events in the province for the past 30 years with the owls offered as prizes highly sought by trap shooters in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Elaine sums up her and Norm’s commitment to the organization, “Our passion id the wildlife. It has been in the past. It is right now and it will be in the future.
