Airport sees new funding

New judge appointed

– Yorkton gets $165,637

The province has announced a new judge for the city.

Darin Clayton Chow of Moose Jaw, has been appointed at the Provincial Court for Yorkton.

“We are pleased to appoint Judge Chow to this new role,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan says. “His impressive law experience and the dedication he’s demonstrated to the community will be beneficial as he serves the justice system as a Provincial Court judge.”

Judge Chow graduated from the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan in 1994 and was called to the Bar in 1995. He practiced as an associate with Whittaker, Craik and Chow until 1997 when he became a partner of Chow & Company, later known as Chow McLeod.

His legal career includes experience in criminal defence and family law. He was appointed an Inquest Coroner in 2008 and has presided over three Coroner’s Inquests in Regina. Throughout his career, he has participated in various professional associations, including the Saskatchewan Trial Lawyers Association.

Being involved in the community is important to Judge Chow he says. He has been elected twice to the Moose Jaw City Council.

He has also been actively involved in many community organizations and was a founding member of the Moose Jaw Businessmen’s Club, which raises funds for important causes.

Judge Chow replaces Judge Klause, who is transferring to the Provincial Court in Saskatoon.

It’s another step towards achieving a fully functional airport.

The province has just announced 15 airports – including Yorktons – have been approved for grants through the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program, which is designed to help offset costs for upgrades.

“I’m very pleased the provincial portion of the 50-50 cost sharing initiative will remain at $700,000 this year after being increased 40 per cent last year to meet the demand of this program,” says Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter.

“By partnering with communities, we’re ensuring a network of airports with dependable infrastructure is in place to enhance economic development in sectors like tourism, oil and gas and agriculture as well as assist in delivering air ambulance, medivac and STARS emergency services.”

Approved funding amounts and planned projects are as follows: • Assiniboia, $25,000 for Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS); • Biggar, $25,000 for runway repairs; • Birch Hills, $25,000 for runway and apron crack sealing; • Estevan, $131,231 for rehabilitation of the main apron; • Gravelbourg, $66,500 for lighting, taxiway and apron repairs resurfacing; • Lucky Lake, $45,000 for crack seal runway, asphalt repairs and repainting runway lines; • Maple Creek, $21,629 for runway and tarmac resurfacing, and repainting runway lines; • Melfort, $22,000 for a GPS system; • North Battleford, $25,000 for runway repairs; • Rural Municipality of Frontier, $2,690 for repainting runway lines; • Shaunavon, $35,313 for slurry seal and paint runway lines; • Swift Current, $32,500 for pavement overlays and perimeter fence; • Unity, $37,500 for runway repaving; • Weyburn, $40,000 for completion of runway recapping; and • Yorkton, $165,637 for runway and taxiway repairs, drainage rehabilitation, fencing, apron and taxiway expansion.

“We appreciate the support from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and the various communities through this program,” Saskatchewan Aviation Council President Janet Keim comments. “Aviation plays an important role in the transportation sector and the Community Airport Partnership program assists in improving the overall safety at these airports.”

Eligible airports were able to apply for provincial program funding for projects supporting economic development, general access to surrounding communities, air ambulances, commercial operations and aviation safety.

The York Colony Quilters Guild has been a part of the fabric that makes up Yorkton for two decades. Betsy Preston and Ellen Stakiw recently spoke to the News Review about the group and what it has done in the community.

Stakiw notes that over its time the guild has supported many different organizations.

Every year, the group donates placemats to Meals on Wheels, quilts to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and Shelwin House. She notes that they have also donated to The Health Foundation, Cancer Society and nursing home. They’ve also made breast-feeding slings for the hospital as well as contributions to the Boys and Girls Club in Yorkton, Dreambuilders, the Arthritis Society, Telemiracle and the Red Door Society. “We’re still doing it. We work on a frame at the Thresherman’s Show to demonstrate hand quilting and we’ve got a quilt ready to go for raffle at The Health Foundation Gala,” Stakiw says.

Women entrepreneurs honored May 7-13 is Women Entrepreneurs Week, to celebrate the contribution of women to Saskatchewan’s vibrant economic growth.

“Women entrepreneurs are found in every sector of our economy and they have been instrumental in our economic growth through the various businesses that they operate,” says Saskatchewan’s Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison. “This is a great time to be in business in Saskatchewan. We are committed to ensuring that women entrepreneurs continue to grow

and expand their businesses, create jobs and take advantage of the business opportunities available in our province.”

“Women entrepreneurs come from a multitude of business categories and are rich and diverse ‘role models’ for all cultures and genders,” adds Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude said. “Women make up over half of the population and it is vital for the Saskatchewan economy to have women starting, growing

and leading businesses.

Women Entrepreneurs Week is an opportunity to celebrate the successes and to encourage more women to be passionate about making Saskatchewan the best place to live, start a business, work and build a life.”

In 2011, there were 31,700 self-employed women in Saskatchewan, and 8,000 of these businesses employed at least one person.

Of the 3,700 self-employed people registered in the last five years, 2,100 of them were women.

Stakiw says that the guild gives to any group which they feel has a need, and that it’s a process which is decided on by all group members.

It’s based on who might be able to benefit from their help, noting that they can react to different events as they happen, such as when families lose their homes in events like floods or fires.

“We’re always making quilts, and when something happens we have them on hand to help,” adds Preston.

Stakiw says she became involved because she was interested in quilt-

ing and wanted to learn more. The guild is there to help keep the activity alive and help younger generations learn about the joy of quilting, and she says that they’re always open to new members.

“That’s our mandate, to keep the art alive,” says Preston.

Both women say that the group is not just about making quilts, but also the social experience that comes from working on something together.

Preston says that she has learned more about her friends in the guild while working on a quilt than she might in another situation, and it’s a relaxing bonding experience to put something together with friends.

The Yorkton Film Festival – the way ahead

Submitted by Kathleen Morrell

The history of the festival has been like a stream with its rocky rapids and smooth flow of deep shimmering waters. The 1960s saw the rocky times when attendance at screenings fell and the festival faced closure. In the 1970s, leadership diverted the festival around the danger of collapse to smoother waters.

By the late 1980s, however, the event was once more in troubled waters.

The festival, like many arts organizations, struggled to stay afloat. Government, faced with mounting deficits, cut budgets to all its departments and grants to cultural groups. The event lost 40 per cent of its lottery funding by 1993. The executive director spent more than four months each year on grant applications, the work sometimes to no avail.

For a while, the festival held parallel events to attract local people into the wider world of film, but it didn’t seem to work. People flocked to see the gun fight or jousting on 2nd Avenue, but neither had little to do with film. The festival hosted feature length films at the Tower Theatre, but the audience proved sparse.

Then the Festival encountered the stream

IT WAS NO ORDINARY DAY May 29, 1993 when a film crew took over the corner of Broadway and Third Avenue to show spectators how a film is shot. The event was a promotional event for the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival. The cast and crew included 40 volunteers and two RCMP officers. of new media.

Filmmakers looked to YouTube for their audience. Net Flicks and Paper View offered films any time, any where. It all made a difference.

The Festival’s response was to organize the Golden Sheaf Award tours, a program where films were distributed to various organizations across the province.

The philosophy was “get the films to the audience rather than the audience to the films.” It was a posi-

tive re-launch of festival fortunes.

In 2008, Richard Gustin, an SCN executive, came to the festival board at the invitation of then board chairperson, Dean Sauer of CBC. “I told Dean I was coming on the board with the idea that we fix it or fold it,” Gustin says, now co-chairperson of the board of the Yorkton Film Festival.

“I didn’t want to see it fold. It was the only Saskatchewan event of its type, but we needed

a new map, a new direction.”

The waters were definitely choppy.

Given the frustrations, the board struggled with many things, but the discussion came back to the central question – what was the function of the Festival in the present.

In the past when the Festival was founded, there was no television, no internet and so people flocked to films hosted by the Yorkton Film Council.

“Today, we are in a universe of 150 television channels and a gazillion things on the internet,” Gustin adds.

“Film and video are everywhere.”

This is the reality of the film industry today.

Yet despite the changes in technology, the filmmaker still returns to the fundamental goal, the desire to communicate, to tell a story. His role is important.

To meet the challenges, Yorkton is becoming a media or screen festival,” Gustin says.

“We are establishing competition categories for the new media. We want to attract younger filmmakers and students. We want to bring in our fellow travelers, writers and musicians.

We need to build and strengthen the community through a collaborative process with like-minded and not-solike minded people.”

“The Festival fosters the building of commu-

Literacy award announced Premier Brad Wall is inviting Saskatchewan residents to nominate a recipient for the seventh annual Council of the Federation (COF) Literacy Award.

If disaster strikes, are you prepared?

It’s a scenario nobody wants to imagine but disasters and emergency situations can and DO happen – even in Saskatchewan.

What’s key, is to be prepared.

As such, Saskatchewan is joining jurisdictions across Canada in launching Emergency Preparedness Week from May 6 to 12.

“In a disaster, some services such as water, power, transportation and emergency workers might be unavailable for several days,” points out Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister D.F (Yogi) Huyghebaert.

“Saskatchewan people need to be prepared to take care of themselves for a minimum of three days and packing an emergency kit will help you survive.”

In partnership with the federal government and other provinces and territories, resources to help citizens develop their own emergency plans are being distributed to about 1,500 key community responders in Saskatchewan. A basic emergency kit should include bottled water, a battery-operated flashlight, a manual can opener, a first aid kit and non-perishable food.

It’s easy to pass the thought off believing, “it won’t happen to me,” but the fact is, it can, so why not take a little time to be prepared?

Be careful what you wear out there The way I see it...

It’s not something I would personally choose to wear, but if he’s not hurting anyone, or really forcing his beliefs down anyone’s throats, what then is the harm done?

A Grade 12 student in Nova Scotia was recently suspended from his high school for sporting a t-shirt with the slogan “Life is wasted without Jesus.”

When his five day suspension is up and he’s back to strolling the school’s hallways, he says he’s wearing the shirt again – no matter the repercussion.

The devout Christian says the t-shirt is an expression of his beliefs, and he won’t stop wearing it.

“I believe there are things that are bigger than me.

And I think that I need to stand up for the rights of people in this country, and religious rights and freedom of speech,” he said in an interview following what happened.

According to the school board superintendent, some students and teachers found the shirt offensive.

Looking at it, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, I have seen far worse and it seems this is really just a case of “do as I say, just because I said so,” without any real backing at all.

“When one is able or others are able to interpret it as, ‘If you don’t share my belief then your life is

wasted,’ that can be interpreted by some as being inappropriate,” says the superintendent.

Really? Does she honestly believe fellow students pay that much attention to a little blurb to a t-shirt? I could see if it was someracist or really crude, Shannon Deveau thing but he’s basically just stating that he believes in God. Apparently Swinimer wore it every day to his classes for several weeks. The principal told him again and again to stop wearing it, but he refused to comply. I suppose in keeping with school rules and the need to follow authority, there is a reason for the school to take some kind of action, but so much action over such a little thing all just seems kind of silly if you ask me.

Swinimer says the principal WOULD HAVE accepted a shirt with the slogan, “My life is wasted without Jesus.” But he says, “I didn’t go for that because I have my rights as a Canadian citizen.” He also says he never intended to attack anyone else’s beliefs.

The board says it’s looking for guidance on the matter and hopes to bring in an expert to help mediate the problem. To me it seems like a whole lot of chaos and concern for one little slogan.

Column

The idea is good, in the future it might even work This week, a small company called Coda released a new electric car. It’s $40,000, and for that price you get a new electric powertrain underneath an oldlooking Chinese compact sedan. It’s not something that’s going to really get most people going, but the electric part is actually really smartly packaged, making one wonder if it’s all just a proof of concept, a way to get a more prominent company to use it in one of their models. They’re not the only ones introducing something electric either. Ford has a rather more handsome Focus coming, which is a similar price.

Toyota just announced an electric version of their RAV4 which comes in at almost $50,000. The rest of the stuff currently on the market, like Nissan’s Leaf, is sitting square in the high $30,000 range. These new models are yet another example of how you can’t really judge a technology’s future based on the first examples of it.

It’s true in televisions, where the first flat screens cost as much as a compact sedan. Now you can get a decent model for a few hundred dollars. It’s true in computing, as the average cell phone has more power than a machine that cost thousands of dollars little more than a decade ago. And, naturally, it’s true in cars as well, which this Coda will prove and the various models on the market have proved long ago.

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger These models are fully electric, but the proof is in the gas-electric hybrids that are on the market now.

Take, for instance, Toyota’s Prius C, which I drove recently. It moves like any other small hatchback, except that it’s suspiciously quiet at stop signs and is quietly judging you and how efficiently you’re driving.

You get a little report card after every trip, telling you how much gas you used on the journey. It’s a neat little car, and for $20,000 it’s not a bad price either.

Sure, it’s smaller than most of the other stuff in the price range, but it comes with a lot of standard equipment and it’s supposed to save gas money anyway.

I bring up that because, along with the other Prius

models Toyota sells, it’s a pretty long way from the original sedan back ten years ago. They are all more efficient, and more importantly it’s actually possible to make the bite-sized model, while the original Prius a decade ago was the smallest it could be. The technology is getting less expensive, more compact, and better able to do its job.

Which is relevant for the fully electric models because right now it is kind of a silly proposition. It’s very expensive, and for that money you get a car that’s deficient in a few ways and not really viable for a lot of people. It’s the same way for all fully electric vehicles on the market right now, whether the company is big or small, they’re a bit too expensive and can’t go quite as far as most people would like them to. You wouldn’t want to go to Regina from Yorkton in a Coda, for instance.

But that’s because it’s early days, and stuff in the early days might be impressive, but it’s not really quite the one you want. Every time the gas price nudges a little higher, someone wants to buy a car that doesn’t use any. None of the current crop of electric cars work for the majority, but for the few that can swing them they’ll be an interesting way to get from place to place. Then, in a decade or two, they’ll begin to make sense for the rest of us.

Your letter of the Week

Heart health is not just a numbers game Home of the depraved To the Editor: Have you been told by your health care professional that you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or type 2 diabetes and you need to do something to improve your “numbers”? If so, it is likely their recommendations were based on national clinical practice guidelines written by experts in cardiovascular health.

On the face of it, following guidelines seems a very reasonable approach. What could be the problem? Well, a recent evaluation of cardiovascular patient guidelines reveals that only 12 per cent of the recommendations are based on randomized controlled trials (the highest level of evidence). In contrast, 54 per cent of the recommendations are based purely on opinion and consensus.

Here’s what we know well: Evidence from the last 30 years provides pretty solid support that lowering what would be considered higher levels of blood pressure (above 160 to 170 mmHg systolic), especially in type 2 diabetics, reduces cardiovascular events (heart attacks and strokes) to what many, if not most, would consider a clinically important degree. Statins reduce the chance of cardiovascular events and one can control symptoms and improve outcomes when very high glucose levels are reduced.

But the evidence for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease is not nearly as impressive or definitive when it comes to aggressively getting numbers below the commonly recommended lower number thresholds for blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg), diabetes (hemoglobin A1c <7 per cent) and cholesterol (LDL < 2.0 mmol/L).

This is important because reducing the chance of cardiovascular events is the only reason we aim

to change numbers in the first place.

Given this, it is unfortunate how many patients and their families worry and become obsessed with these quite arbitrary breakpoints. A recent British Medical Journal analysis goes so far to say that our idolizing obsession with changing patient numbers is “damaging patient care.”

One of the more tricky aspects surrounding cardiovascular disease numbers is how the magnitude of the cardiovascular benefits is typically presented.

A news report may, for example, state that a five-year study of a drug has shown it reduces cardiovascular disease by 25 per cent. Sounds convincing, right?

While this number may be technically correct, it’s actually misleading.

That’s because a typical study result may find those patients who go without medication over five years have an 8 per cent chance of a cardiovascular event, whereas if they take the medication in question, their chance decreases to 6 per cent.

Mathematically, it is true that six is 25 per cent lower than eight (a ‘relative’ difference). But the number that matters – the ‘absolute’ number – is actually two per cent (eight minus six). In other words, two per cent of people obtained a benefit, but 98 per cent of people on the medication received no cardiovascular benefit.

The benefit is hopefully greater over a longer period of time, but studies rarely extend beyond five years.

In the case of statins, a class of drugs routinely prescribed to lower cholesterol, evidence shows the absolute difference in cardiovascular events achieved over a five year period is roughly one to 1.5 per cent in patients who have never had a heart attack

or a stroke. Other popular drugs (ezetimibe, niacin, fibrates) that lower cholesterol numbers have not been shown to consistently reduce the chance of cardiovascular events.

Most blood pressure drugs (but not atenolol or doxazosin), when used in patients with systolic blood pressures around 160 to 170 mmHg, lead to a difference in cardiovascular events of around 2 per cent to five per cent, and there is a five to eight per cent reduction when a drug called metformin is used in newly diagnosed diabetics.

Interestingly, other drugs used to lower blood glucose in diabetes have either been shown to have less of a benefit, no benefit at all or have not been studied to see if they reduce the chance of cardiovascular disease. And we can’t forget the possible side effects and the costs for medications, which patients must consider. Since the majority of patients will not get a cardiovascular benefit from these medications, any side effects really become unacceptable.

Medical guidelines are oddly silent on patient preferences. A recent look at five main Canadian cardiovascular guidelines reveals that only 99 of the 90,000 words in the documents addresses patients’ values and preferences.

So, given all of this, what’s a patient to do?

The bottom line: The goal is reducing the chance of cardiovascular disease not just lowering numbers.

In the end, a health care provider should support the patient decision regardless of the path the patient chooses and not make them feel guilty if they don’t blindly follow the latest guideline recommendations.

World class mistake about universities

To the Editor:

In his letter, “Rejection of funding a threat to prosperity” (May 3, 2012), Gwyn Morgan makes two important mistakes about Canadian universities.

First, Morgan complains that the York University faculty who voted against the proposal to accept a deal with Jim Balsillie’s Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) to create a research institute in international law “followed” their “national union,” the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT).

CAUT is not a “national union,”; in fact it is not a labour union at all. It is an association of faculty associations, some of which are unionized (like York) and some of which

are not (like University of Toronto). It does not have the power to direct local faculty associations, never mind tell faculty councils how to vote.

Second, Morgan says that the rejection of the CIGI offer reveals a “disturbing governance dysfunction” at Canadian universities, one in which professors (employees) get to dictate to senior administration (their bosses) which programs will be offered, what research will be done and what courses will be taught.

He then asks: “How can it be that, in the name of ‘academic freedom,’ those appointed to lead our publicly financed universities are rendered impotent by their own employees?”

These comments reflect a basic misunderstanding of what public universi-

ties are about.

When acting as a faculty council or senate, professors are “those appointed to lead our publicly financed universities.”

The charter of Canadian universities, charters created by democratically elected provincial governments, give boards and their administrations power over all financial and operational aspects of the university. They also give power over academic matters to faculty councils or senates, creating a system of checks and balances in which the academic integrity of the institution is set apart (but not totally apart) from those in charge of its finances.

One finds precisely this form of “governance dysfunction” at all of the world’s best universities,

Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, McGill, MIT, and Cambridge, for example.

This bicameral form of governance is society’s way of ensuring that the research power of universities serve the public good and are not sold to the highest bidder.

And so it was in the name of academic integrity – and not academic freedom – that York professors rightly turned down Mr. Balsillie’s generous, but flawed, offer. It was good for business, but bad for the university.

None of the world class universities are run like businesses. That is what makes them world class.

Professors at York’s world class law school made the right decision.

For Canada’s sake trim the fat, not the necessities

To the Editor:

The Harper government is feeding the opposition every day with many unnecessary cuts to the civil service.

Library and Archives Canada is just one example of where cuts will be harmful. All reasonable efforts are necessary to record Canadian history for future generations.

Our history is the foundation upon which we build our future in this great country. The Harper government needs to get their own finan-

cial house in order before lining up dedicated and important public civil servants at the firing wall. True, some trimming may be necessary, but be careful that it is not at our own peril and at the risk of failing all Canadians. First, cut the lavish and despicable spending habits of Harper’s cabinet, which angers working Canadians.

After only one year with a majority, the Harper government seems incapable of governing without embarrassing Canadians on a weekly basis. There must be something

wrong when the NDP is now in a virtual tie with the Harper conservatives in recent polls. Stephen Harper seems to have lost control of his cabinet, MP’s, and government in less than a year. As a life long conservative, I find this difficult to understand. My dedicated and hard working liberal MP, Ralph Goodale is looking better everyday thanks in large part to Stephen Harper.

To the Editor:

Send us your lazy, radicalized, self-aggrandizing, murderous terrorists. And if you fit that description and you’re already here, please, make yourself right at home.

It’s official folks. Canada will harbour anyone as long as they belong to some sort of politically correct group. And the nastier the better.

Barring a diplomatic miracle, confessed murderer Omar Khadr will be released onto Canadian streets thanks to the efforts of a litigious, self-righteous, crypto-Islamiccrusading, one-percent liberal elite who decided Khadr’s rights had been denied when he didn’t get a full night’s sleep after being captured on the battlefield, a battlefield on which over 150 of Canada’s bravest sons and daughters have been killed and countless more maimed.

This liberal elite claims Khadr was a child soldier. But he most certainly was not. According to the United Nations a combatant must be 14 or younger to be considered a child soldier; Khadr was 15 when he was apprehended. And what of Khadr’s claims of torture? Totally untrue according to none other than the little bearded terrorist himself. Turns out he was lying to his liberal comrades all along.

Meanwhile, Quebec socialists, communists and political murderers alike, are out in the streets every night protesting plans to raise college tuition. They represent the laziest segment of French-Canadian society; how else do you describe a student who can’t manage to earn a few hundred extra bucks on summer break? But what about being political murderers? Do lazy students in Quebec have this in common with Khadr? You bet they do.

Maximilien Robespierre said infamously in 1794 at the peak of the mass killing spree in Paris referred to as the Reign of Terror, that “Terror is nothing else than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible.” His words were reiterated

by Che Guevara – the mass murderer of the Cuban revolution whose image adorns more T-shirts than any rock star living or dead – when he said that “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”

The Front de libération du Québec put these sentiments into practice during the October Crisis in 1970 when they kidnapped the province’s minister of labour, Pierre Laporte, while he was playing football with his nephew. Within a week he was found strangled to death, his body stuffed in the trunk of a car.

A communiqué to police referred to him derisively as the “minister of unemployment and assimilation.” Unwilling to uphold justice, Prime Minister Trudeau let Laporte’s executioners escape to Cuba on a Canadian Forces aircraft provided by taxpayers. All but three that is, who were later apprehended, only to receive what amounts to a slap on the wrist.

One of these murderers would later emerge at political rallies for the Parti Quebecois, always to a standing ovation. To his credit, René Lévesque, the leader of the PQ at the time, condemned this man publicly.

This murderer’s name is Paul Rose, and far from being likewise condemned by anyone in Quebec’s most recent revolutionary movement, he was allowed to speak at a rally for CLASSE (La Coalition large de l’Association pour une Solidarité Syndicale Étudiante), the radical group driving the protests to freeze tuition in La belle province, at the rest of Canada’s expense.

How on earth does a confessed murderer end up speaking at a public rally for ANY cause in Canada? Well, according to the leader of CLASSE, it would have been rude to prevent Mr. Rose from speaking.

But excusez-moi, isn’t it rude to strangle a man? Maybe someone should ask Mr. Khadr for his opinion on blowing people up before he addresses any groups of Canadians.

This was Canada my friends. And now, thanks to homicidal maniacs like Rose and Khadr and every liberal Jacobin who backs them, this is Canada being controlled by hyper-liberals. Any questions?

Where are the mythical new prisons?

Every so often, a constituent contacts my office to ask about a government-related rumour. “Is it true?” they usually begin. We are happy to seek out the truth.

The latest story arrived in an email containing pictures of a spectacular glass building. The photos included some of its attractions: a well-equipped weight room, designer landscaping, ping-pong courts and a potted palm sitting on a deck with very high railings, overlooking a grassy meadow.

The photos, the email claims, are of Canada’s newest prison, “just outside of Toronto.” Even better, apparently the inmates get to choose from the menu.

The rumour continues: “The prison was built by our current government. So if you’re still paying your taxes, shame on you.”

This photo and story are utterly false.

The Opposition has been claiming for years that our Government would spend billions of dollars to build mega-prisons. The opposite is true. Since 2006, our Government has not built a single new prison

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz and has no plans for one, five-star or otherwise.

In fact, on April 19th, Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, announced that due to a lower than expected prison population, two prisons would soon close: Kingston Penitentiary (including the Regional Treatment Centre, in Kingston, Ontario) and Leclerc Institution in Laval, Quebec. The closures will save Canadians $120 million per year.

Our Government is committed to keeping our streets and communities safe. Rather than creating

new criminals, our tough-on-crime measures are ending the revolving door of justice by keeping criminals in jail longer. So-called experts said that prison populations would rise by over 3,000 inmates as a result of those measures. In reality, the increase has been less than 1/5th of that.

The recent budget recognizes that new beds for both women and men will be necessary in the coming years. Mike Patton, spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, has stated that, “Our new units, on existing lands within existing budgets, will be coming on-line as they are constructed.”

Our Conservative Government has a mandate to keep Canadians safe. In doing that, we won’t spend one extra dollar on correctional facilities we don’t need.

For the record: My staff did some research on the fancy glass prison pictured in the email. It’s the Justice Center Leoben, a court and prison complex in Styria, Austria. With 205 inmates, the prison is fully booked.

STARS – It’s a life saver and it’s there if Saskatchewan residents need it. Life can change without a moment’s notice. For patients who are critically ill and injured, every minute saved before treatment can increase their chances of survival and improve their prospects for recovery. That’s where the STARS helicopter enters the picture. More than just a helicopter, STARS is a comprehensive and responsive emergency medical system with specialists working to ensure that patients receive the best care available in the shortest period of time possible. More than 25 years of history is captured in the stories of the people, places and teamwork that have contributed to more than 20,000 missions flown.

Pictured above is a STARS helicopter that recently made a Yorkton stop.

The best skills training doesn’t happen in the classroom Seven out of 10 workers get their Àrst job in tourism, whether part time during school, as a summer job or starting a new career. Nearly 60,000 people work in 3,700 tourism-related businesses in Saskatchewan, including attractions, events, hotels and restaurants.

Right now, the tourism sector faces a worker shortage. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce says that a shortage of skilled labour is the top barrier facing businesses today.

Nowhere is that shortage felt more acutely than in booming Saskatchewan. The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) estimates that Saskatchewan’s tourism sector could experience a shortage of about 1,300 workers by the end of this year, rising to about 6,500 within 10 years.

That labour shortage is compounded by a skills shortage. Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney recently pointed out that workers often don’t have the skills or experience to match the immediate needs of employers.

One way to address those shortages is by training on the job. The Saskatchewan Tourism Education Council (STEC) provides workplace-based training that lets em-

12052SS00

ployees develop industry-recognized career skills, while at the same time addressing employers’ needs for qualiÀed workers.

“More and more, especially as labour shortages start happening, people can go from high school directly to a well-paying industry job,” says Darcy Acton, Manager of Industry Human Resource Development at STEC. “Once you’re in a well-paying job, it’s hard to entice you back into a regular post-secondary stream, if it means leaving the job to attend a program full time. Workplace based training gives you the Áexibility to jump right into an industry job, learn on the job, and then formalize that learning, such by acquiring industryrecognized certiÀcations.”

For employers, it means retaining a full complement of experienced staff because employees don’t have to leave the workplace, except for short periods, to attend postsecondary schooling, Acton says.

Tourism occupations are well suited to workplace-based training. Learning can take place without disrupting

the business cycle, and the outcomes apply directly to the job. Workplace-based training can complement previously completed post-secondary education, lay the groundwork for entering full-time studies, and support life-long learning.

Apprenticeship There are three tourism trades in Saskatchewan, providing the opportunity to start as an apprentice and work toward becoming a Journeyperson Food and Beverage Person, Guest Services Representative, or Cook.

Training takes place almost entirely on the job.

The Àrst step toward becoming a journeyperson is to start work in the trade. The current job market in Saskatchewan means that there are plenty of places to start. From there, work experience under the supervision of a certiÀed journeyperson or provincial joint training committee (industry professionals convened by the provincial apprenticeship commission) provides workplace-based, on-the-job training. The Guest Services Representative Trade and Food and Beverage Person Trade require a one-year apprenticeship combined with work experience. A cook going the “tradesperson” route, someone practicing the fullness of the trade, can challenge the national interprovincial trade exam after working a minimum of 8500 hours within 6.5 years.

There is a wide range of career opportunities available to a journeyperson, says Diane Cohoon, Training Manager at STEC, a journeyperson Food and Beverage Person and member of the provincial Trade Board for tourism trades.

“Journeyperson Food and Beverage Persons tend to be in demand for supervisory roles, at a minimum,” Cohoon says. “We often see them move up to Food and Beverage Manager, Director of Food and Beverage, or Director of Corporate Training.”

It’s common to Ànd journeypersons as owner/operator of their own business, Cohoon says. emerit Professional and Specialist CertiÀcations Of more than 400 recognized tourism occupations, 25 are eligible for rigorous emerit professional certiÀcation through the Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council, covering frontline, supervisory and management work.

CertiÀcation recognizes workers who meet National Occupational Standards in their Àeld. As with apprenticeships, the Àrst step toward certiÀcation is to be working in the occupation, then begin specialized training toward gaining recognition. CertiÀcation in some occupations is required when working toward journeyperson status.

Each occupation is a little bit different, but beyond attaining the necessary industry hours, it can take as little as a month to get a professional certiÀcation, though most people complete the process around the six-month mark.

“We like to see people Ànish within a year,” Acton says.

“You get your experience, write the exam, do the evaluation if there is one (for Specialist certiÀcation), six months to a year period seems to be about right. You can take your time, Ànish every component and still be up to date.”

“There are examples of people who start out at the front desk and become general manager,” says Acton. “From general manager, they become divisional managers of properties. It depends on the industry, but we see a lot of that in tourism.”

“It’s important to know the front line jobs, because if you’ve worked on the front line jobs you know exactly how customer satisfaction affects business retention and employee retention,” she adds. “It becomes clearer if you’ve experienced all the jobs on the path to a management position.”

Be aware of radon Submitted by Saskatchewan

The

Lung

Association

of

Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas.

It occurs naturally in the environment as a result of the breakdown of uranium found in soil and rocks.

In the outdoor air, radon is diluted and is not a health risk. Radon can seep from the ground into buildings through the foundation, basement windows and the plumbing system. If radon seeps into an enclosed space such as a house or apartment building it can build up to levels that are a health risk.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind only smoking. Radon exposure accounts for 10 per cent of all lung cancers. People who smoke and who are also exposed to radon have an even greater risk of developing lung cancer. Lung cancer kills more Canadians than breast, colorectal and prostate cancers combined.

We are urging Canadians to test their dwellings for radon. Testing devices are inexpensive and can be purchased from The Lung Association for $50, which also includes the analysis from the Saskatchewan Research Council. It is recommended that testing be done for a three month period, preferably during the winter months.

Current Health Canada guidelines recommend lifetime levels of radon exposure be less than 200Bq/m3. Testing should be carried out in the lowest level that is normally occupied for more than four hours per day. In a house this may be a finished basement or the main level if the basement is only used occasionally.

It is recommended that apartment buildings be tested below the third level, although radon has been known to travel through elevator shafts and air ducts to higher floors.

Reducing radon levels in a property can be simple. Actions such as filling foundation cracks, sealing foundation walls, installing proper floor and sump pump covers and increasing ventilation may be all that is required. In cases of high levels, the ground beneath the foundation may need to be depressurized. Professional help may be needed for that work.

The cost of repair can run from $50 to $3,000, depending on the level of radon found in the building. If you are building a new home, we urge you to talk to your home builder regarding upfront planning to address Radon.

More information about radon and radon testing can be found by calling the Lung Association of Saskatchewan at 1-888-566-LUNG, or by visiting our web site at www.sk.lung.ca .

It starts with a dream

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Donny Parenteau is living his dream, but for him, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. The Junonominated artist wants to inspire kids to follow their own dreams, and is touring schools with his It Starts with a Dream tour to do just that. He was recently at Dr. Brass school to talk to the kids and perform his music.

Parenteau says the goal of the tour is to inspire kids. He also says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to use his own life to show kids how someone who works towards their dream can make it come true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the age of fourteen, the first time I picked up a fiddle I had a dream of playing at the Grand Ole Opry.

Ten years later, that dream came true, and I explain to the kids how I did it,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He also wants to make a difference in the every day life of kids right now, and says that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got two major sub-

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; artist inspires at local school jects which kids today need to speak about.

One is bullying, something he says he hopes he can help get rid of in schools. The other is communication, and he says that kids need to talk to each other and their parents more in their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communication I feel is being smothered and disappearing because of technology.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re communicating more with Facebook and texting than speaking, so instead of Facebook it should be face to face,â&#x20AC;? Parenteau says.

The inspiration for the tours came from the birth of Parenteauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, and his desire to make the world a better place for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started to look around and thought the only way to change things is to make the

world a better place for her. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what I do musically anymore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I do for me anymore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I leave behind for her... Am I going to make a difference? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making the attempt, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to get through to these kids and explain that the world is not a great place right now, and the way to change things is get to the young ones...

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that can make the change,â&#x20AC;?

Parenteau says.

Parenteau says that the tour has been going well, and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been talking to a wide range of kids. He says that the response has been great, and he knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been reaching kids when they send him messages and tell him about how his tour has changed their outlook on life.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, May 10, 2012 - Page 13A

Is regular table salt acceptable for cooking?

In today’s wonderful world of cuisine, salt has evolved from being just another staple in our pantries to a myriad of choices with considerations based on texture, flavour, and health aspects. From sea salt to exotic salt such as “fleur de sel” or Himalayan pink salt, salt is playing a much larger role in our culinary choices.

With health considerations always affecting more of our daily lives than ever before, regular table salt has taken quite a beating over the past years. More and more recipes are now quoting salts such as “sea” or “kosher” instead of the simple ingredient listing “salt”.

This is happening because of the larger crystallized shapes and slight flavour attributes that they offer over table salt. Another reason however, is because sea or kosher salts do not have the additives that regular table salt has and thus offer an arguably cleaner taste.

This being said, let’s first understand that all salt is the mineral sodium chloride. That’s what makes salt, salt. Looking at the ingredient list on a box of table salt from my pantry, it lists the following: salt, calcium silicate, potassium iodide, and sodium thiosulphate. In other words, there are three additives being combined with pure sodium chloride to make the final product: table salt.

Should we avoid table salt because of these additives? In a document I received from the Sifto Salt Corporation, it states that in a statistical study based on production averages in the year 2007, the following ingredient percentages are applicable: Salt (sodium chloride) 99.694 per cent, Calcium Silicate 0.250 per cent, Sodium Thiosulphate 0.048 per cent, and Potassium Iodide at 0.008 per cent. If it is true, that the additives are equal to less than one third of a percent, why are they even there and should we be con-

and make sure you have enough iodine in your diet.

Use table salt for everyday cooking except when a finishing salt is needed. When gourmet salts are being dissolved in cooking procedures their characteristics that you are paying for tend to be nonexistent and table salt is a fraction of the price.

Chef Dez on Cooking

by Gordon Desormeaux

Dear Chef Dez:

www.chefdez.com

I see many chefs quoting kosher salt as an ingredient. What is kosher salt and how is it different?

cerned?

Calcium silicate is added as an anti-caking ingredient to keep the salt free-flowing instead of clumping into a mass. Potassium iodide is what makes table salt iodized and is a source of stable iodine; an important chemical needed by the body to make thyroid hormones and is added to salt to help protect against Iodine Deficiency Disorders. Sodium thiosulphate, from what I can find out, is added in very small quantities to help prevent the oxidization of the iodine.

Everyone has opinions, just like they do taste buds, and my preference is to use and recommend good old table salt when it comes to cooking where the salt is going to be dissolved in moisture with a number of other flavourings and ingredients. Raw applications however, or finishing procedures, would definitely benefit from gourmet salts such as varieties of sea salts and kosher salt. These applications would include raw vegetables, salads and any recipe which requires a finishing salt to be sprinkled on the finished dish. This allows for the consumer of the meal to taste and feel the differences that these gourmet salts have to offer.

To conclude, my advice is to help you save money

Wayne F. Fort Frances, ON Dear Wayne: Kosher salt is crystallized salt that has no additives and is traditionally used in the koshering process of purifying meats. The salt itself is not kosher per say, but the meat that is cured from this process is labeled “kosher”. The crystals of this salt need to be a certain size to efficiently and effectively draw moisture (blood) from meat in order to classify it as “kosher” in the Jewish religion. Chefs will admit that when taking a pinch of kosher salt it is easier to feel how much salt they are adding to a recipe, due to the size of the crystals. I believe that one should let their taste buds be the guide instead… but, like taste buds, everyone has an opinion.

The farmer is trained and moves on: part four The horses were scheduled to be moved on the fourth Sunday in March. Levi Young offered to come and move them for us with her horse trailer. But first we had to make sure that the horses and Annie the cow had feed and water.

My wife had already fenced in a paddock with access to the three stall stable.

The problem was the feed. We were trying to line up somebody that could haul all our hay and straw bales, 30 in total from the old farm. An alternative was to drive to Yorkton and rent a bumper pull trailer from Flaman, but we considered the cost of fuel to Yorkton and return, plus the fuel to Hazel Dell and our old farm and return for

about three to four trips, plus the rental cost. It almost seemed to be better to try and sell the old hay and straw and buy from a local Hazel Dell farmer.

While we were trying to work out the logistics of hay moving, we were told of a local farmer that probably could assist us with a couple of hay bales to tie us over.

My wife called Mike Steczkewicz, who was more than happy to deliver two hay bales on the Friday prior to the horse move. Mike turned out to be a very friendly neighbour and farmer, just eager to help us new comers to the area.

He dropped the bales where my wife wanted them, all I had to do was to move one bale away from the other, so that

all the animals would have access at any time.

The well that the automatic waterer is connected to had run dry, so we had to get a water trough and run a hose from the house. That’s when we learned that the outside tap, which is controlled by an inside valve, leaked. And the inside valve when turned on, also leaked, but not as much. A glass jar under the valve and a bucket under the tap became a temporary solution.

Sunday arrived and Marion drove to the old farm early in the morning to get all the horses and the cow into the barn, to be ready for Levi when she arrived. The first team of horses loaded without any problems, and no

problems occurred during the drive to Hazel Dell either. Probably because I wasn’t there.

The horses and Annie must have noticed that we were not around as much anymore, so therefore something must be afoot. More than likely the reason why they all behaved well and loaded without problems, except for the herd bully of course that had to make everybody notice that he was there. My wife quickly let him know that she is the boss, not him! I know that very well, I am only the boss when she lets me be!

I rode along with Levi

and my wife for the second load of animals, because they wanted an expert to back the trailer up to the barn so Annie the cow could be loaded.

Furthermore the trailer had to be backed into the driveway at Hazel Dell, that way Annie would not get any ideas of going somewhere else.

Unloading Annie was quite interesting. First she had to put her nose into the air and do a good sniff! Then she would very carefully proceed to come out of the trailer.

Levi and I were leading a couple of horses, but we had to wait for Annie being led by my wife

and finally decided to take a few careful steps forward. Then stop, rolling her eyes and refusing to budge. I brought my horse up behind her, and that made her take a few more steps forward, then stop again. To the loud protest of Levi and my wife, I called Annie a typical female slightly off the bubble, who has a problem with new surroundings.

Maybe we should rename her “Annie Two Step,” as that’s how she walked to the paddock.

Annie has two horns, but they don’t work, so we had to hang a bell around her neck.

The Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) hosted it showcase elementary school track and field meet at the Gallagher Centre Flexihall Saturday, featuring the top athletes from the standards meets held the previous week. Meet coordinator Jason Trost says with the high school students officiating at the event, all 28 GSSD schools were represented at the meet. The showcase meet saw the top six boys and top six girls in each grade and in each event from the standards meet return to battle it out for top honors, Trost points out.

The 490 young athletes competed in field events including high jump, long jump and shot put. Track events included the 50m and 600m footraces. This year Grades 7 and 8 students were added.

They competed in the 50m hurdles, triple jump, shot put and 1,500m races. There was also a quadathlon for the Grades 7 and 8 athletes which took the results of all for events for an award. Trost notes.

“It’s a good event for GSSD. It’s a good event for kids,” Trost sums up.

The meet, initially started to expose youngsters to track and field sports, has become an integral part of the GSSD physical education program, Trost explains. “It’s mandatory that every school attend and that youngsters do their best at this event,” he adds.

Trost thanks all 12 committee members from around the school division who worked to put the event together. While it

At right, race winner Connor Watridge crosses the finish line. happens in Yorkton, without those committee members from across the division, the meet wouldn’t happen, Trost insists.

He uses an agricultural analogy in thanking former local educator Dave Baron for initiating the event four years ago. “We had a raw piece of land with trees on it and ravines and Dave cleaned off the land. He drained all the sloughs and planted that first crop. Now every year we just keep planting the crop which keeps growing bigger and better every year,” Trost closes.

Source 05s silver medalists at Calgary

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer With the end of their regular season for Yorkton Minor Hockey (YMH), Ryan Hoffman, Jeff Sperling and Jeff Ronn, coaches with YMH pulled together 15 young players, nine from Yorkton and six more from Moosomin, Ester hazy, Canora and Regina. The new team, the Source 05s, sponsored by Source Embroidery, took top the ice for practices in March.

Following four weeks of weekend practises the Source 05s travelled to Calgary for a

hockey tournament, Hoffman reports.

Coaches started with a core group of Yorkton youngsters.

In January they hosted a tryout skate, inviting participation from youngsters within a couple of hours of Yorkton. A handful of youngsters were selected from that skate to complete the roster, Hoffman explains.

The young local hockey stars had a great time in Calgary, Hoffman reports.

The team played six games in total. They had a 3-1 record in the round robin before advancing to the second vs

third place game to see who would advance to the final.

The youngsters won the semifinal game before falling to Calgary in the tournament final.

Coaches put the team together to extend the season by a month for the youngsters before they turned their attention to ball and soccer.

“It allowed some of the kids to play together for an extra month, to play with a few different kids and have a good experience,” Hoffman says.

The weekend in Calgary was busy with six games in three days. Every game was a

20 minute stop time game which is about twice as long as what the young players were accustomed to back home. “They were worn out and played out at the end of the day but they had a lot of fun,” Hoffman claims.

Plans are in place to repeat the spring hockey next year.

Hoffman suggests the process might be started a little earlier next year and perhaps be a little better organized. He says there’s a good strong core of kids around that age in Yorkton and he and fellow coaches would like to continue to build on that.

Ball hockey tournament raises funds for KidSport

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Saturday Yorkton’s hockey season was extended with a ball hockey tournament at the SIGN facility on Broadway St. West. Tournament committee chair Casey Manz reports 14 teams of anywhere between eight to 14 players as well as officials and team supporters were on hand to participate in the event which was a fund raiser for Yorkton KidSport.

KidSport is a local charity which provides local youth an opportunity to take part in sports activities in Yorkton. Typically KidSport provides money for registration fees, for example.

Manz says she recalled the success of a similar event held at TAPPS on Broadway several years ago. In looking for a sport based activity to raise much needed funds for KidSport, Manz suggested the tournament which was accepted by the organization which began to organize the event.

The entry fee for the tournament was $300 per team. Some of the teams were sponsored through their business which brought in anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per team. Other teams collected pledges, some of which collected up to $2,000 in pledges. All funds raised will stay in Yorkton and be used for youth par-

ticipation in sports in the city, Manz reports.

Each game pits two teams of four players and one goalie against each other on a paved surface. The game, essentially the same as hockey, is fairly free flowing with few hard and fast rules, Manz points out.

Manz says the event was very successful thanks to the participation of local business sponsors and all the players who came out to enjoy what turned out to be a great day for ball hockey.

“We are so proud of our community for supporting KidSport,” comments Amber Zaharia, KidSport committee member. The first annual STIX on Broadway Street Hockey Tournament raised just over $19,000.

The tournament Champions were the Barley Burners.

The Superstore Presidents came in second.

The Phantoms were the B Side Champs.

The award for Most Pledges Raised went to the 64th Battery Black Sheep who raised over $2,000.

The award for Best Dressed Team went to Cap’n Crunch and the Cereal Killers.

Yorkton KidSport truly appreciates all of the support that came from local businesses, teams and players, and community members. This event would not have taken place without

THE SIGN CRUSHERS (with Yellow bow ties) tangled with the Super Store squad in ball hockey action at the KidSport ball hockey Tournament played at SIGN on Broadway Saturday. the support of sponsors, community participation, and volunteers who were on board as soon as this event was announced. The funds raised from this event go directly towards funding the registration costs of kids to play sports in Yorkton.

Last year Yorkton KidSport funded $30,000 to help kids participate in community sport programs.

The committee is already excited for next year’s street hockey tournament and is encouraging teams to start their off season training now.

Yorkton United Fury U14s kick off 2012 outdoor season

The Yorkton United U14 Core Real Estate Fury kicked off the 2012 Regina Soccer League season with two games in Regina.

To cut down on travel costs the team agreed to play two games in a day when they travel to Regina, a tough task in the summer heat, but luckily the cloud cover in Regina made perfect soccer weather.

With the weather in check it was up to the boys and girls, Kendra Varjassy and Allison Berge have joined the team for the Regina League, to showcase their skills on the pitch.

Although the team has

only had three practices before the start of the season the Fury played very well and showed a lot of chemistry. “Most of the team played together all winter but have had a bit of a break while waiting for the snow to melt and with the addition of a few new players including the two girls wasn’t sure what to expect,” says coach Chad Grodzinski.

The first game of the afternoon was against the Moose Jaw Storm.

Yorkton controlled the ball very well in the midfield but just couldn’t mount much of an attack in the first half.

In the second half it

was more of the same but a defensive break down lead to a Moose Jaw goal.

Although the chances started to come the Fury just couldn’t find the back of the net on all their scoring chances but one. Austin Thomas was able to hammer the ball into the mesh after a missed clearing attempt off a corner kick which tied the game.

Moose Jaw answered back with only a few minutes remaining to steal the 2-1 win. “Even though it was a loss I was very happy the way we played

scoring that we need,” Grodzinski states.

The second game was against the UCT Lightning from Regina. The second game is always a test of the team’s endurance and with only two substitutes to draw from the team was hoping that the smart play could continue. It was a little

shaky at the start but soon the Fury found their pace and started to control the game.

Yorkton led 2-1 at half with goals from Henry Thomas and Zach Kostersky. The YUFC Fury continued to play well in the second half.

YRHS continues archery dynasty with team title

THE YRHS ARCHERY TEAM claimed its fourth consecutive NASP provincial team championship with a total combined team score of 2972 points.

Monday h itc W illi am s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to being a shooter in control, that is certainly a characteristic of Lea. She is a very calm and collected young lady. Not much bothers her when she is shooting. Lea has been part of our program for three years and has developed into the best female archer in the province. We are very proud of her effort,â&#x20AC;? says Wandy.

Grade 12 student Tara Lazurko finished second in the high school female standings with a score of 267 points, while Grade 9 student Larissa Schick placed fifth with a score of 255. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tara is our team captain and demonstrates true leadership on our team and throughout our school.

New comer to the program Larissa Schick has shown great improvement throughout the season. It was awesome to see all her hard work paid off for her with a 5th place finish,â&#x20AC;? Wandy states.

Rounding out the top five finishers was Felcon Swain. Felcon placed third in the high school male category with a score of 265. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Felcon was our only boy to place in the top five. However we had three more shooters close behind him in the standings which helped with our overall team score,â&#x20AC;? Wandy reports.

The next action for the YRHS is home shoot which will be held May 12 at the YRHS. Currently 10 teams will be bringing archers from all over the province. The archery team invites anyone interested in the sport as well as the general public to take in the archery shoot.

M

The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) archery team competed at the 2012 National Archery in the Schools (NASP) Provincial Championships in Moose Jaw. Going into the shoot, the YRHS previously won three consecutive provincial titles. The school repeated as provincial champions at the 2012 provincial shoot.

YRHS had a total combined team score of 2,972 points. The second place team from Melfort Comp finished with a team score of 2,762 points.

YRHS has dominated the team category for the past four years.

YRHS archery head coach Daren Wandy says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really proud of the kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort! These kids have made a solid effort of attending practices twice a week, one being at 7 a.m. in the morning,â&#x20AC;? he points out.

The team had a very strong group of female shooters this year with three of the top five shooters coming from the YRHS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In past years, teams may have been lucky to have one of their female shooters in the top five, we had three. Just goes to show you how the sport and program has developed in the four years of existence,â&#x20AC;?

Wandy declares.

For individual efforts, the YRHS had three of the top five female high school shooters. Leading the way was Lea Burnard who won a gold medal for her effort. She shot a 284 out of a possible 300 points. Her score also placed her second overall out of all shooters, male and female.

Burnard is a Grade 11 student at the Regional.

Districts wrap up SHHS junior badminton season

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) junior badminton team recently completed a successful season at district championships. The team had seven students competing at districts in four different categories.

In girls singles, Brooke-Lyn Somogyi finished second in a very strong pool.

She played a tough semi-final match against an opponent from Sturgis, and unfortunately came out on the losing end. She then played in the bronze medal match, where she easily defeated her opponent from Melville to claim the bronze medal.

In girls doubles, Bryce Sherring and Christina Mentanko finished first in their pool. They were unable to pull out the victory in a very competitive semi-final match that went three sets.

In the bronze medal game, they had no difficulties in beating their opponents in two sets to capture the bronze

medal.

Sherring and Mentanko also won the silver medal at the York City tournament and were city champions.

Sherring also claimed the gold medal in mixed doubles with Colson Walker at the Melville tournament.

In boys doubles, Colson Walker and Aaron Burback put forth a strong effort to finish third in their pool, but unfortunately did not advance to the playoff round.

The team of Jake Holinaty and Kris Pidperyhora finished first in their pool to advance to the playoff round. They dismantled their opponents in the semi-final to advance to the gold medal game. After losing the first set, the boys were able to regroup to win two straight against their opponents from Melville and claim the East Central District gold medal. Holinaty and Pidperyhora also won a gold medal at a tournament in Melville, Silver in the York City Tournament, and were city champions.

THE SHHS JUNIOR BADMINTON TEAM INCLUDED: Back row (l-r) Coach Dean DePape, Laura Vachon, Tany Roussin, Caleb Sutter, Andrey Yakiwchuk, Coach Brian Chisholm. Front row (l-r) Brittany Hudy, Brooke-lyn Somogyi, Chelsey Yesnik, Hailey Vitkauskas, Jake Holinaty, Kris Pidperyhora, Cameron Peepeetch. Missing - Christina Mentanko, Bryce Sherring, Tannum Wyonzek, Aaron Burback, Colson Walker and Breanne Dobrowlski.

Big game draw deadline approaching The deadline for application for the Big Game Draw which opened May 1 is Thursday, May 31.

All applications must be submitted online at http//secure.gov.sask. ca/biggame.

There will be additional moose opportunities in response to

expanding populations, especially in southern Saskatchewan.

Please check the 2012 Big Game Draw and Spring Hunting Guide which is available on the website at www. environment.gov.sk.ca/ hunting for more details on the Big Game Draw for 2012.

Next game Saturday Con’t from Page15.

Thomas was able to add one more goal to give Yorkton the 3-1 win. “It was good to see Thomas perform well.

Not just because he was able to score two goals but because he is the newest addition to the team and he fit in real well. Actually all of the new additions like Varjassy and Berge played well in their positions.

Scott Popoff who

hasn’t played with the team since last summer set up the second goal so I was very happy with that. Also this was the first time playing 11 versus 11 on a full size field for many of the players and I thought they adjusted well,” Grodzinski reports.

The next action for the Yorkton United Core Real Estate Fury is Saturday at 1 p.m. in Yorkton at Sacred Heart field.

10:30 - 11:30am - Digital Production: The New Art and Entertainment Forms of the Future The digital revolution has provided producers, filmmakers and creators new platforms and new ways of engaging with audiences with classical film forms whether drama, documentary or animation. In particular, it has been a boon for creators of short works. But the impact goes much deeper; digital technologies change the nature of creating works. In the same way that radio, the movies, television developed their unique aesthetics and language of creation so digital is in the process of doing the same and it is radically different from the modes of creation we have been used to. I am going to explore the fundamentals of these new art and entertainment forms of the future and what distinguishes them from traditional audio-visual works.

But what's involved in taking a tried and true concept and versioning it for your home-country crowd? Or in getting your show format ready to become a franchise the world will buy? How do you add a little Canadian back-bacon flavor to get ratings gold, and adjust for local tastes?
