Province focuses on education in spring session By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Steady growth is the theme for the Government of Saskatchewan, says Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit, and at the end of the spring session of the legislature he says it the province is poised to continue down that path. There are a lot more jobs and opportunities in Saskatchewan, more now than ever before, says Ottenbreit. The spring session of the legis-
lature was focused on meeting the challenge of filling those jobs. That means education, with more funding and programming for Saskatchewan students. The Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES), which ties into the education savings plan on a federal level, explains Ottenbreit. People can get up to $250 annually based on their investment in education savings for their children. That’s in addition to the
expanded graduate retention program, which allows students to claim up to $20,000 over seven years to stay in the province post-graduation, as well as the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship which allows $500 a year for high school graduates to stay in the province for post-secondary. Education also is involved in the most visible project in the Yorkton region, that being the Parkland College Trades and Technology center, which has $4.5 million from the province
for this year’s construction work, with another $4.5 million coming next year to fund the completion of the facility. The focus on education comes from the challenges that a strong economy brings, Ottenbreit says, namely the need to train people for the jobs in the province. He notes that right now skilled trades are the place to be, given a resource-based economy and many difficult to fill and high demand jobs in that sector, and that training
is a must if Saskatchewan residents want to take advantage of it. “Many people realize that in order to take advantage of the economy we need to have skilled people.” “We’ve always focused on local first. The primary is to get our local people, First Nations and non-First Nations alike educated and able to take advantage of our economy.

THE DISCOUNTED BUS PASS program is getting a funding boost, with the provincial government putting $1.6 million towards the program, which sees discounted bus passes for Social Services clients. Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit (left) and Yorkton City Councillor Ross Fisher announce the funding increase.
Local bus Pass program gets funding boost By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The provincial Discounted Bus Program will continue into the future. At a recent announcement in Yorkton, the provincial government put $1.6 million towards the program, an increase of $60,000 over the past year. The program, which allows participating cities to offer discounted bus passes to Social Services clients receiving income assistance, began in 2003 in Regina, and was expanded to Yorkton in 2007. The discounted passes are at least $25 below the full fare. The passes are paid for in a partnership between the provincial government, the municipality and the riders themselves. Saying that the bus is the taxi, ambulance and delivery truck for the community, Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit says that the program is a way to keep people connected with their community.
“It’s a really important program, it gives accessibility to transportation to some of society’s most vulnerable,” says Ottenbreit. City Councillor Ross Fisher says that the importance of the program will only increase as the city grows and people have to travel further to connect to the things they need. The city is currently running two busses. “It’s more important than ever that we have municipal transportation, and we are pleased to be able to cost share some subsidization to ensure that the most vulnerable in our community are able to ride the bus.” John Denysek, Regional Director of the Saskatchewan Abilities Council in Yorkton, says that their clients rely on the bus to get to employment, access programs, use services and even just meet people. “Without transportation there would be social isolation which would lead to further issues, transportation is a vital part of the community’s infrastructure.”
Here in Canada, we are fortunate that our families have access to the resources needed to live happy, healthy and productive lives. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many around the world. Things such as clean water and vaccinations – things we may take for granted – are desperately needed in many regions of the world. And without them, the health of countless human beings lies in jeopardy. This need for basic provisions is magnified when dealing with expecting mothers and newborn children. Without adequate health care services many mothers and children die each year. Indeed, the most recent data tells us that 6 million children will die before their 5th birthday and 300,000 women will die in pregnancy. Because no mother should have to choose between herself and her baby, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and our Conservative government made maternal and child health our top
Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz development priority. We first brought this issue to the international spotlight with the ground-breaking Muskoka Initiative. Before we championed these issues, the world was falling short on reducing child mortality and curbing maternal death. Thanks to the Muskoka Initiative, and subsequent global action, maternal and child mortality rates are declining. Between 2010 and 2013, Canada helped provide 5.8 million children with lifesaving vaccines, over 180 million children with vitamin A, and 2 million pregnant women with supplements to help ensure healthier pregnancies. But there is still more work to be done. Helping
stop these preventable deaths is not only a moral imperative, but something at the very heart of our shared Canadian values. At the end of May, Canada will host a Summit on Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. Through this Summit we will be working to accelerate our health initiatives and continue to push this issue into the forefront. Canadians across the country can be proud of the difference we are making in the world and the work Canadians do every day to save lives. We are within arm’s reach of our goal of eliminating these preventable deaths. During this Summit, we will take another step towards achieving that goal.

Parliamentary Report
Our next focus would be Saskatchewan people who have moved away and get them to come back, they’re used to the way of life in Saskatchewan... Outside of that Canadian citizens willing to come to Saskatchewan and help with our labour shortage and last resort would be immigration and going outside of our borders... Having our focus in the right place is important.” Education helps the economy move, and Ottenbreit says that feeds into the government’s other main priority, using a strong economy to bolster services that affect the people of the province, something he believes they accomplished in the most recent session. The priority for the session was continuing with the province’s Plan for Growth 2020, and Ottenbreit says there are likely few surprises when people look at that document, since each budget is fit within that framework. “It’s just a matter of what we can do within that plan, address the challenges that come the best we can, and try to see what’s coming and be prepared for that.”
to increase the public’s awareness to the issues faced by individuals who are experiencing them. An increase of $37 million in this year’s 2014-15 Budget will go toward supporting the inclusion of people with disabilities into the social and economic life of our province. “This investment demonstrates our commitment to Saskatchewan’s vision of being the best place in Canada for people with disabilities to live,” Draude says. “That’s why it is more important than ever that we encourage those who experience speech and hearing disabilities along with all members
of Saskatchewan’s disability community to help government shape our province’s Disability Strategy.” Province-wide public consultation forums are taking place. More information regarding the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy, as well as a listing of the upcoming consultation dates can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/ disabilitystrategy. “One in five Canadians experience some form of hearing loss. Awareness and early screening is vital for people to get the assistance they need, such as sign language, lip reading instruction, or electronic devices...”

Say no to video and hello to play More play – LESS couch time! According to a recent report card presented by Active Healthy Kids Canada, in spite of the fact Saskatchewan is known for producing more NHL players per capita than any other province, Canadian children are getting a failing grade when it comes to leading active, healthy lifestyles. For the first time, the Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card looked at how Canadian child and youth physical activity stacks up against 14 other countries. If the numbers are right, we are performing poorly in a number of areas and we’re lacking the push to get our kids out and active. Interestingly enough, Canada is among the top countries for having well-developed physical activity infrastructure and programs, but trails at the back of the global pack for overall physical activity levels. In other words, “we’ve built it, but why are they not coming?” In some cases, the report suggests, perhaps less is more. “Our society values efficiency – we build more, do more and impose more structure – but perhaps this approach is somewhat misguided when it comes to getting kids more active,” says Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Active Healthy Kids Canada, and Director of HALO. “A child’s day is so structured that there is no room for free play or walking or biking to school. Having plenty of local playgrounds is important, but what if they never get used? To increase daily physical activity levels for all kids, we must encourage a mix of opportunities, such as organized sport, active play and active transportation.” Remember the good ‘ole days of hop scotch, tag and hide and go seek? Free, healthy fun. Why not shut off the video games, televisions and computers this summer and just get out and play!?
Knock down, knock out, what next? The way I see it...
Well I would certainly hope these boys will get more than a slap on the wrist. This is carrying pranks and games WAY too far. A Grade 6 Grande Prairie boy is in pretty rough shape after a run in with some bigger boys from his neighborhood and it’s all thanks to the latest trend – knock down. Knock down, or knock out, the idea behind the “game,” which is receiving lots of attention south of the border, basically involves a group of assailants attacking an unknown stranger. The goal is to knock the person to ground and/or to render them unconscious. Often the attacks are filmed and then posted on Facebook and the like as a means to brag. People have died because of incidents like this. And I thought King of the Mountain and Dodgeball were rough back in the day! So enter into the picture a young Thomas Steidel, an unsuspecting Grade six boy who was playing in the park next to his school with his buddy. It no doubt was a typical afternoon until a group five boys (ages 13 to 16) showed up and made Thomas their punching bag. The younger boys tried to run away but with no luck. Thomas’s friend was caught and beaten and when Thomas tried to help, he was attacked as well. One of
the attackers filmed it all as it unfolded. How sick can a person be? I’m guessing the friend must not be feeling the best, I haven’t heard, but for Thomas, the event could be life altering. “He got about 10 blows to the face, and at least a Shannon Deveau couple were in the same spot on his jaw and so his jaw is fractured,” details his grandmother. “The whole shape of his face has changed, because it was dislodged. It’s disgusting.” Thomas now needs extensive surgery that will require the attachment of titanium plates and the breaking of his jaw. He is in dire pain and who knows if his face will ever look the same. He’s young and hopefully he will heal. RCMP are looking into the matter. So far nobody has seen the video posted online. Eventually it WILL surface. Obviously common sense and brains don’t prevail in the minds of these teens. They will want to brag and when they do I certainly hope someone reports them and that this matter is taken very seriously. There are enough bad things happening in the world, we don’t need this catching on and becoming popular in Canada. For everyone’s sake, let’s come down on these boys hard and set a precedence. Acts like this WILL NOT be tolerated.

Trend diets can have positive effects on people There was a study recently that suggested that a gluten sensitivity outside of Celiac disease does not exist. I was not actually surprised by the study, gluten-free has become a trend diet that is being adopted by people who are largely unaffected by the presence of gluten itself, but I actually think that is a good thing, so maybe it might even be for the best if the new study is roundly ignored. The issue starts with Celiac disease itself, which definitely does exist and affects many people. As few as five years ago, getting actual food if you had it was incredibly difficult, gluten-free didn’t actually move in most stores so there was no real incentive to stock the product. If you had Celiac at the time, you would have had to make special orders or find the few stores that actually stocked the gluten-free products. Then it hit as a trendy diet, and more people tried going without gluten because of the supposed health benefits. Do they exist? Well, if you had undiagnosed Celiac disease, you would have noticed very large benefit to your overall health and well being. If you didn’t, while there might have been a placebo effect it really wouldn’t change your life at all, but it would not harm it at all and it would at least introduce new ingredients into your cooking.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger But people without Celiac trying out a gluten-free diet has a second, unintended but very important effect, it creates a market for gluten-free products. That means an increasing number of stores can justify carrying them, even stores from smaller markets which might have had difficulty moving them a few years ago. It means that it’s actually possible to make a profit from doing a gluten-free line, and it means that more companies want to get in on the action and capitalize on the popularity of going gluten-free. This sounds plenty mercenary, mostly because it is, but sometimes something mercenary can have positive effects, and this is a case where that is true.
If the gluten-free market continues to expand, that means more options and alternatives for people who actually have Celiac disease, so they are now able to eat at restaurants, buy groceries, and live their life with the same level of convenience as anyone else enjoys. For the people who the diet does not actually help, they are not losing anything at all, and it’s usually the case that paying closer attention to what you’re eating can lead to a healthier diet anyway. The overall benefit is that people with dietary restrictions are simply less restricted, because the market allows options to open. Many people can get annoyed when a diet trend pops up, especially as others try to convert you to the same meal plan that they find so great in their own life. Personally, I know that this does not affect me, so whether I eat something gluten-free or not I’m not going to feel any different. However, I do know people who have Celiac disease, and they actually are severely affected if they have any gluten and do need there to be a market for gluten-free products so they can eat like everyone else. If this being a trend diet means they can more easily find food, that’s great, it makes it easier to live overall. So even if it’s not actually helping everyone who tries it, I’m glad that the gluten-free diet has become popular.

$684 billion spent on subsidies
It’s time to start listening
To the Editor: Ever wonder how Canada’s net federal debt reached $671 billion by 2013? Or how net provincial debt among the provinces ended up at $509 billion that same year? Wonder no more. It’s partially due to massive subsidies to corporations, government businesses and even consumers that over three decades amounted to $684 billion. Statistics Canada once collected useful information about such taxpayer-funded government subsidies. The subsidies include funding for corporations (think selected automotive and aerospace companies), or Crown corporations like VIA Rail, or a government-owned ferry system to subsidize consumers’ ferry rides. Statistics Canada stopped tallying up the numbers in 2009 but by looking at what is available from 1981 (and adjusting for inflation to 2013 dollars to get apple-to-apple comparisons), some useful statistics pop out. For example, the biggest subsidies dished out using taxpayer dollars came courtesy of Ottawa, with $343 billion spent on private corporations, government businesses, and consumers in that almost-three decade period. Next up with a big subsidy bill were the provinces. Collectively, they spent $287 billion between 1981 and 2009. Local governments were third with more than $54 billion spent on subsidies in those three categories over almost three decades. Regrettably, Statistics Canada does not provide a breakdown for how much of the $684 billion was spent (i.e. how much went to private businesses versus government businesses versus consumers). That is unfortunate,
as more details here would allow Canadians to debate which types of subsidies are useful. For example, it’s one thing for a government to subsidize the electricity and heating bills of low-income Canadians (a consumer subsidy); it’s quite another to subsidize private and government businesses. Here is where other sources were more helpful in teasing out how governments subsidize and where. For example, Alberta and Ontario spent a lot on subsidies in the 1981-2009 period ($49.9 billion and $46.7 billion respectively). According to provincial budget documents, a “chunk” of those figures reflect provincially-mandated subsidies from provincially-owned utilities that help lower consumer heating and electricity bills. In other cases, such as in Alberta in the 1980s, subsidies to businesses were substantial, as is evident from a review of provincial budget documents from the period. However, by the late 1990s, annual spending on subsidies (including business subsidies) in Alberta declined by more than 90 per cent when compared with the highest-spending years in the early 1980s (from a high of $4.1 billion in 1983 to a low of $291 million in 1996). A similar decline in the 1990s took place in Ontario and appears driven by a political promise. In the 1994 “Common Sense Revolution” party platform from the then-Opposition Progressive Conservatives, the party committed to reducing business and other subsidies. Once in power, the Mike Harris government reduced overall spending on subsidies to $475 million by 1999 from a decade high of $1.8 billion in 1991 under the previous government.
Then there is Quebec. According to my conversation with Statistics Canada officials, its subsidies were driven mainly by transfers to corporations and government-owned businesses (and not much to consumers). They were costly transfers, at $115.5 billion between 1981 and 2009. Again, using other sources to gain a glimpse of where some money went, and back to the federal books using Industry Canada data, it turns out $3.3 billion went to one company, Pratt & Whitney. And using VIA Rail annual reports (as an example of a government business), subsidies to that Crown Corporation from the federal government amounted to $4.5 billion. But back to the “big data” from Statistics Canada. The subsidies were equivalent to $3,268 per taxpayer - every person who paid income tax in 1984. The lowest-cost year was 1998 when the equivalent cost per taxpayer was $797. In the last available statistical year, the 2008/09 fiscal year (before the massive bailout for General Motors and Chrysler kicked in), the equivalent cost per taxpayer was $1,507. While few would object to some government subsidies – say to low-income consumers to heat their homes – others, such as subsidies to corporations, are something less than prudent. In the future, one hopes Statistics Canada returns to crunching some of these numbers again, and in more detail. That would help the public, politicians, and media better debate and prioritize government spending. Mark Milke, Fraser Institute.
New Sask. investments are needed
To the Editor:
It’s the middle of May. We’re well into the 2014 construction season. The new “Building Canada” infrastructure fund (BCF) was supposed to be up-and-running seven weeks ago (April 1st). But not a wheel has turned. Why? Because of Harper government bungling in Ottawa. Communities across Canada can’t get access to promised federal dollars for water and sewer projects, public transit and other infrastructure priorities because BCF application forms aren’t yet available. The provinces, who are supposed to manage the process and pick the projects, haven’t been
able to get going because the feds held back crucial information until the very last minute. So much for Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel’s boast last March that “…the entire New Building Canada Plan is now ‘open for business’, ensuring a seamless transition to the new program.” But it gets worse. The Harper Conservatives have imposed new restrictions on how local governments can use the federal funding – when it finally becomes available. The provinces and other government “entities” will be competing against municipalities for the same pool of funds. And the BCF program has been severely
“back-end loaded”. That means there’s a big cut in federal funding right up front. The BCF has plummeted by 87% – down from $1.6-billion last year to just $210-million for the whole country this year. The feds say the money they’ve cut will be replenished, but it won’t get back to last year’s level until after 2019. Cutting, stalling and complicating federal support for public infrastructure is simply foolish. It undermines what the Finance Department itself describes as the single most cost-effective tool to foster economic growth and more jobs. And it comes at a time when unemployment is stubbornly high and some 200,000 Canadians
have just given up looking for work altogether. We can do better. Justin Trudeau is calling for a far more ambitious infrastructure plan for Canada – one that will be truly transformative. Significant new investments will be required and strong collaboration at all levels. But the dividends will be powerful. Canada will be able to catch-up faster on its debilitating infrastructure deficit. We will drive greater job creation and economic growth, and convert the value of low interest rates into long-term capital assets to underpin better Canadian prosperity and productivity. Ralph Goodale, PC, MP, Wascana, SK.
Saskatchewan, a cash cow for consultants? To the Editor:
We’ve heard a lot about how multi-million-dollar Lean consultants have been tearing through Saskatchewan’s hospitals and classrooms to implement the costly Lean experiment. This government has even appointed a Minister for Lean. But, now we’re hearing from front-line highways workers, too, who tell us that teams of managers and consultants as large as 20 people have shown up at highways shops to Lean them.
Front-line workers describe these Lean consultants as not knowing – and not caring – which tools and supplies were valuable or useful. It seemed like the consultant’s goal was just to Lean the shop by throwing stuff out. These workers say consultants threw out tools and valuable supplies in good or even new condition – from wrench sets to hydraulic cylinders. It’s clear there is no room for common sense or frontline worker engagement in this government’s expensive lean scheme.
Highway workers, just like teachers or nurses, know their shop and their trade best. Why are taxpaying highway workers being forced to pay for consultants to tell them what tools they can keep? This government doesn’t have a straight answer to that question. Instead, their response is to pour more taxpayer dollars into the Lean contracts that are making Saskatchewan a cash cow for consultants. Warren McCall, NDP critic for Lean.
To the Editor:
Throughout Saskatchewan, families are being let down when it comes to health care and seniors care and it’s due to reckless spending on bloated administration and out-of-country consultants while the needs for front-line staff and basic care are being dismissed. The government’s numbers show two out of every three seniors care facilities in our province have staff positions that are unfilled. In total, there are 703 vacancies in both care facilities and hospitals. That’s concerning on its own, but it’s especially concerning when you know these vacancies are occurring within a staff complement that is already far too inadequate. I am constantly hearing stories of seniors not getting access to basic care or the necessities that provide dignity and respect. Seniors are being left to soil themselves because no one is around to help them to the bathroom and, oftentimes, are not even getting a weekly bath. These stories go hand-in-hand with reports of understaffing on the front lines of Saskatchewan health facilities. Last fall, Saskatchewan care facilities put forward urgent requests to the government to help with the basic needs in the health system. On top of much needed beds and equipment, the care facilities also requested more front-line staff. Those needs were ignored or scaled back by this government. That’s frustrating to Saskatchewan families with loved ones in care, and it’s frustrating to me. At a time when the economy is doing well, untold millions of dollars are being spent on American consultants and Japanese senseis for the Lean pet project instead of being put into what really matters in health care and seniors care. It’s time this government stop dismissing their own statistics, and start listening to health professionals, seniors in care and families. Cam Broten, Leader of the Official Opposition, Saskatchewan’s NDP.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Uffda! What’s going on? 10 cm of snow? Shipped to us from Alberta? What have we done to upset those nice Alberta conservatives that just fired Alison the Premier? Hey Alberta! We have the Saskparty and Brad Wall as premier! We are the good guys! Wet heavy snow it was as well. I had to take Marion to Preeceville hospital to get her dressing changed, but I had to push some snow first with my tractor so we could get out. Of course I had to get stuck a couple of times. No problem I have learned some tricks from sharper tractor drivers than me, so I got myself unstuck! It’s a combination of straight front wheels, bucket operation, reverse with high revs and some choice Norwegian phrases. Wheels are straight, I push back with the bucket, pop the clutch, and the air turns blue from the Norwegian prose! Works every time! I backed the tractor into the shed, shut it off and climbed down. Marion closed the shed door and we headed back to the house to drive to town in our Ford F-250 Super Duty. I was very concerned about all this deep, wet and heavy snow, plus the fact that the snow plow had not come to our village yet, so there were roads to negotiate in all this snow. Good thing we have a 4x4 truck! Getting out of our yard and driveway was no problem, being as it had been cleared by me. Now the village roads were a different story. Some of the residents had cleared the road in front of their houses, and Bill Kitzan was running his skid-steer to clear the various driveways. I was carefully driving down a village road, not the main road, which is the road that I normally take. We are approaching the T intersection at the end of the road, and there was a pile of snow left there sort
of in the middle of the road. My wife Marion being the self-appointed official co-pilot was pointing ahead yelling: “Don’t turn! The corner is up ahead!” Well, just to be clear, I’m the sort of male that do not stop and ask for directions. I mean there are only four roads and four intersections in Hazel Dell, who needs to ask for directions? Anyway Marion kept on yelling: “Don’t turn! The intersection is up ahead! Aaaargh!” I thought I knew where the actual intersection was, and elected to drive on the right side of the snow pile while turning my wheels to the right. However, it was not right to go on the right, it would have been right to go on the left, but I went on the right instead of on the left and that was not right. You probably can figure out what happened next, I went heavy into the right ditch with the left set of wheels on the right shoulder, stuck deep and solid in the heavy wet snow, unable to move. Fortunately Marion had the good grace not to say: “I told you so!” Bill Kitzan the kind soul tried to pull me out with his skid-steer, but my F-250 Super Duty was too heavy. So Bill turned right and left the area. I find that sometimes right and left can be very confusing, especially when one don’t have much left to work with, right? We are on first name basis with Ron from Roadrunner Towing. Marion has used his services on numerous occasions. This one was my first. Of course Ron positions his rescue unit well behind my truck, secures it so it won’t slide, fastens a steel line to my tow hitch, and just stands by his truck humming a tune while he gently pulls my truck back up on the road. Piece of cake! Thank you Ron! It was an early evening in the Hotel bar in Preeceville. Two men were sitting side by side on barstools, drinking beer and talking. “Hey,” said Kaare, “you’re Norwegian, aren’t you? I’d recognize that accent anywhere!” “Of
course I’m Norwegian,” said Kjell. “Well, Holy Oslo, so am I!” replied Kaare. “Let me buy you a beer.” So Joe the bartender brings each of them another beer. After a bit, Kjell asked Kaare, “What part of Norway is your family from?” “Oslo,” came the reply. “Really? That’s where my family is from! My turn to buy you a beer,” So Kjell called over the bartender and they toasted one another with their beers and kept talking. “Where exactly in Oslo are you from?” asked Kjell. “We lived on a peninsula called Bygdo,” answered Kaare. “I can’t believe this!” cried Kjell. “I used to live on Bygdo, too.” He waves at the bartender: “Well,” said Kaare. “You must have gone to school in Oslo. What year did you finish school?” “In 1964,” replied Kjell. “Holy fjords! Me, too! Let’s have another beer! This is some coincidence!” said Kaare, “to think I’d meet someone from Bygdo here in Preeceville! What was your mother’s name?” “Her name vas Esther,” replied Kjell. “What!” Gasped Kaare. “My mother’s name was Esther also!” About this time, another man came in and sat down at the far end of the bar and motioned for Joe to bring him a whiskey. “Hiya, Joe,” he said, “how’re things?” “Kinda dull, as usual,” Joe answered, polishing a bit of brass with his apron. “The grill’s on the fritz, the wife’s sore at me, and -- oh, yeah -- the Askildt twins are plastered again.”

SPRING YARD CLEANUP
Buy a coffee – send a local child to summer camp! Wednesday June 4, 2014 is Tim Horton’s Camp Day! This is the one day each year when Tim Hortons restaurant owners donate 100 per cent of the proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF), making it the Foundation’s largest fundraiser each year. Thanks to the generous support of Tim Hortons Restaurant Owners and their loyal guests – including those in Yorkton – Camp Day in 2013 was a huge success, raising an incredible $11.8 million for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. All children who attend one of the Foundation’s six camps are selected from within the communities where Tim Hortons Restaurants are located. Camp with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation is more than a fun trip away from home. Camp programs are designed to change the way young people from low-income homes think about themselves and the opportunities that exist for them.

And that’s a good feeling.” On Camp Day, guests can also expect additional fundraising activities at many of their local Tim Hortons Restaurants. For example, funds are also raised at Restaurants through the ‘Rent-a-Tent’ and ‘Rent-a-Cabin’ program where guests can personalize paper cut-out tents and cabins and post them in the restaurant for a donation. Other activities may include: indoor and outdoor games; silent auctions; face-painting; and drive-thru window washing. Some restaurants will invite special guests, including sports and media personalities, to greet guests and pour coffee throughout the day.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS - Derek Falloon (right) made Yorkton Terriers history with his OT winner in the 2014 RBC Cup Final, giving the organization their first ever National title. Falloon’s winner would give Yorkton their fourth straight win in a 4-3 classic that earned them the RBC Cup over the Carleton Place Canadians. Photo Credit: Hockey Canada Images.
Terriers win 2014 RBC Cup By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After proving all season that their veteran experience after falling one game short of the 2013 RBC Cup made the Yorkton Terriers one of Canada’s best Junior A hockey teams, the Yorkton Terriers saved one final clutch comeback for their final game in the 2014 RBC Cup Final in Vernon, B.C. on Sunday. Down 3-1 to the Carleton Place Canadians late in the third period the Terriers would find a way to win as they have all season, scoring two goals within eight seconds of each other to force overtime where Derek Falloon scored his second OT winner at the RBC Cup to give Yorkton its first National Championship as a Junior A hockey organization. After playing four straight “do or die” games in Vernon following losses in both of their opening games of the round robin, including a loss where starting goaltender Kale Thomson was pulled, the Terriers bounced back and rallied behind a winning attitude and plenty of experience in having to find ways to win late. After all Yorkton did win six games in overtime during the SJHL Playoffs in addition to having over 15 players return from last year’s league championship team. In the end that experience and veteran leadership would pay off, even though when the game was on the line two non-20 year old players would step up when the
team needed them most. First it was rookie Tanner Lishchynsky getting on the board to put the Terriers down just 3-2 before second year forward and Yorkton product Dylan Johnson would etch his name in hometown history as a local hero by scoring the game tying goal just eight seconds after Lishchynsky, so quick that the national television audience on TSN missed Johnson’s heroics in live action. Johnson’s goal would force overtime, a period where the Terriers seized the op-
portunity and the clear momentum advantage to score 15 minutes into the extra frame when Falloon slid a bit of history through the legs of Carleton Place goaltender Guillaume Therien, handing the Terriers Junior A National Championship glory in what was their fifth ever trip to the annual tournament. Falloon’s game winning goal wouldn’t have been possible if he wasn’t already a hero in Yorkton leading up to the RBC Final as it was an overtime goal in their final round robin game on Thurs-
day over the Dauphin Kings that allowed the Terriers to qualify for the tournament semifinals where they beat the host Vernon Vipers to take on Carleton Place, who knocked off the Kings in the other Final Four matchup. As expected, Yorkton’s head coach Trent Cassan praised his team’s character and attitude in the wake of what was an epic final act to end a two year stretch where the Terriers have provided plenty of late drama come playoff time.

Terriers win first ever RBC Cup in overtime Cont. from Page 10.
“We’ve shown a lot of character and always dug deep,” Cassan told CBC News Monday morning. “They never gave in and we played right until the final buzzer last night and it really paid off for us.” “It was a very emotional game and it wasn’t looking very good there until the end; we were able to string together a couple big goals and then to win in overtime is always pretty exciting and thrilling,” Cassan said. Falloon’s OT winner showed the Terriers willingness to dig deep and do the little things to win even with the stakes the highest they have ever been for a group of talented Junior hockey players. Winning the faceoff, Falloon did what his coach has preached for likely his entire stay by going to the net to get in front of Therien in an attempt to distract the Carleton Place netminder or be rewarded with a rebound in front. Falloon made the smart play and the Hockey Gods rewarded him with what is now history. “I won the face-off, it went back to our d-man, he shot it on net and I just jammed it fivehole,” Falloon explained when talking about his OT heroics to the Vernon Morning Star. “I never saw the puck go in as their goalie was in the way.” “I guess I just happened to be at the right place at the right time,” said Falloon. “I’m sure any of the boys could have done it. Lucky me, I guess.” The only thing that could perhaps make Falloon’s late heroics sweeter is the fact that his goal was scored in what was his final
Junior game as the 21 year old sent himself along with a long list of Yorkton Terriers staples over the past three to four seasons out in style with what will be an unforgettable goal. “It’s unbelievable. It’s just the best feeling and I don’t think I’ll ever score a bigger goal than that for the rest of my life,” Falloon’s heroics would not have been possible if not for the heroics of his teammate in Johnson, who redeemed himself after taking a penalty in the late stages of the third period that appeared to be the final blow in the Terriers comeback hopes. Luckily after some strong goaltending from Kale Thomson and good penalty killing from his teammates, Johnson was able to get out of the box and tie the game just eight seconds after Yorkton made it 3-2. Johnson, the little brother of former teammate Jeremy Johnson who scored big OT goals to give Yorkton their 2012/13 SJHL title, knew he wanted to redeem himself after his penalty and after the goal felt that it was destiny for he and his teammates to lift the RBC Cup. “That goal felt great,” Johnson told Global Regina. Especially after getting that penalty a couple minutes before that. Getting that goal was unreal. It brought the life back into the fans. After we got that, we knew this was ours.” It is hard to blame Johnson for being confident after scoring the game tying goal, after all the Terriers showed a penchant for dragging games into overtime all postseason long. Winning a high number of games in OT
and losing just two of them on their way to the RBC Cup Final. Once in the SJHL semifinals to Humboldt and at the Western Canada Cup to the Spruce Grove Saints. Captain Devon McMullen, a player who has seen it all in three trips to the SJHL Finals as a Yorkton Terrier including their two recent league title runs, mentioned those OT games during the SJHL Playoffs in clashes with Humboldt and Melville as the beginnings of what developed into a magical run. “It seemed to just roll all season,” captain McMullen said. “We’d get down and even in playoffs, especially against Humboldt, there’d be a couple of games where we’d get down two or three goals and we’d battle back. “From then on, it just carried on. It’s the magic that teams get in playoffs and we just rolled with it.” McMullen, who is from nearby Moosomin but has played his hockey career in Yorkton since his days with in Midget AAA and attended Yorkton Regional High School, mentioned that representing not only the SJHL but the city of Yorkton was a huge motivation for himself as a captain. Wanting to prove the quality of the SJHL as well as to pay the city he has called home for many falls, winters, and springs back being a great motivation to push for a national title. “The SJHL can compete with any league in Canada and we wanted to show that,” said McMullen. “It was great to do it for Yorkton too because they’ve been a great community for hockey and for sports. They
supported us for many years and it’s been the greatest support.” In the wake of winning the Terriers first ever National Championship, a memorable group can now look back on what has been a historic two year run that has been some of the best hockey the city of Yorkton has ever seen. Back to back SJHL titles, two straight Western Canada Cup appearances and a 2014 Western Canada Cup title as well as their long awaited RBC Cup crown that took five tries to achieve. Throw in a second place regu-
lar season finish in the SJHL in 2012/13 as well as this year’s best record, a dominant home ice winning percentage, national award nominations and NCAA D-I scholarships for the key players along the way, and it is hard to argue that the 2013/14 Terriers may go down as the best group of players ever assembled in the Yorkton Terriers organization. Several players will be ending their Junior careers at the peak. From the captain in McMullen, to Yorkton born starting goaltender Kale Thomson as well as star forward
Tayler Thompson as well as the talented Norrish twins who all went into their final seasons with the mission to make their final season a memorable ride. Playing as long as possible is the dream of any Junior hockey team and for the first time in franchise history the Yorkton Terriers lived that dream to an RBC Cup. For a city that has embraced their hockey team for generations, a first ever and long awaited Junior A National Championship will not be quickly forgotten.

Champions League Final Preview: Real to win “Madrid Final” On Saturday the biggest match in European soccer (or football if you like to use the correct terms for your sports) will kick off in Lisbon, Portugal as the Champions League Final overtakes the sporting world for 90 minutes as two of Spanish football’s biggest rivals will play for what is the most difficult and prestigious trophy in all of professional sports after outlasting the best and biggest clubs in all of Europe to reach the final. In one corner there is Atletico Madrid, the perpetual underdogs led by manager Diego Simeone who has molded his team into a vision of himself when he was a firey Argentinian leader of men on the pitch. That passion has turned into leadership from the bench as Atletico managed to shock the world by winning the La Liga title over the giants of Spain in FC Barcelona and their in-city rivals in Real Madrid who they will be facing on Saturday. Atletico’s story will be the easiest to get behind as they are an easy sell due to the fact that they have been underdogs for so long. Generally a selling club that has been more famous for having a keen eye for talent that eventually is leeched from the bigger clubs at a handsome profit, Atletico smartly invested the money they made off of the massive sale of striker Falcao this offseason before magically finding the perfect chemistry at the right exact time to create a magical season for a team that has been in the shadows of their neighbors for so long. All of those frustrations of being bullied by lavish spending Barca and Real was translated into a year where “Atleti” were the bullies for much of the season, refusing to allow having less depth and resources be an excuse that kept them away from winning their first league title in over a decade. Meanwhile on the other side of the Madrid rivalry there has been Real Madrid, a club that has been longing to earn a milestone of their own this season that can be achieved on Saturday as “Los Blancos” have been on a mission to win a historic tenth Champions League title for what has seemed like an eternity for a fanbase that is so accustomed to seeing their club dominate Europe. Not since 2002 have the biggest club in Spain won the Champions League or the “European Cup” for history lovers, failing to get the job done each season for 11 campaigns. Getting close in the knockout stages on many occasions, but always falling short of the finish line of claiming “La Decima,” the tenth European trophy. This failure has been a shock because
Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig Real have enjoyed some of the best squads in the history of the game in that time. Raul, Luis Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo (The fat Brazilian one who leads the World Cup in goals), David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and more world class players than you can think of have graced the Real Madrid team sheet since 2002 and none of those players have been able to clinch a Champions League title. This year has been as dominant as Real Madrid have looked in European competition in ages however, and many think that Saturday will finally be the day that all of their spending on talent will be rewarded. After all they are coming off a semifinal performance where Real throttled the defending champions Bayern Munich 5-0 over the two leg series between the two clubs, making the club who won the German Bundesliga title in record fashion this season look like shells of themselves even on home soil in a 4-0 drubbing that will has them entering Saturday as expectedly heavy favorites. Atletico will have momentum as well and perhaps more valuable momentum as they just won the La Liga title on the final day of the season last Saturday, coming from behind to beat FC Barcelona on the road at the fortress that is Camp Nou to earn a 1-1 draw that handed them the title. Already having the belief that they can go toe to toe with any club, Atletico will be going into their final game of the season with confidence at an alltime high after being able to celebrate defying the odds over the course of an entire season. That glory on Saturday didn’t come without a price however as two of Atletico’s key players, striker Diego Costa and midfielder Arda Turan both left the pitch due to hamstring injuries on Saturday in the first half. Exiting the pitch in tears because of the knowledge that their injuries likely would cost them the
ability to help their teams earn both domestic and European glory, both are extremely doubtful to play in Lisbon on Saturday after being key players all season. Costa’s injury being even more of a crushing blow as the striker is reportedly off to Chelsea next season after giving his heart and soul to Atletico all season, how the team responds to his absence will likely be the difference between having a chance at making one final upset or conceding the Champions League to their rivals. History is of course also going to be on the side of Real Madrid come the time the two clubs do battle, making it an ultimate story of “Big Brother Vs. Little Brother,” as the club that has been able to enjoy all the glory will look to torture their rivals which have had to work for any successes they have been able to achieve in their history. Nine European trophies show their dominance and the all-time record between the two is also massively in their favor, driving home Atletico’s improbable odds even more. One club has been built and bought for this moment while the other has had to battle and work just to make it this far. Anything can happen in the game of football and the Champions League’s recent history has been full of improbable turns. From Liverpool’s famous comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul to and underdog Chelsea team scoring a late game tying goal to eventually knock off Bayern in penalties on home soil in 2012, historians will be quick to downplay the suggestion that all Real will need to do is show up to win on Saturday. The fact that it has taken them over a decade to win a Champions League crown despite having so much expensive talent drives that fact home even further, but it seems that Real are finally on the doorstep of earning “La Decima.” Regardless of result Saturday will be a must watch for not just fans of the sport, but for fans of the basic elements of why people love sports so much. Two clubs from the same city, but so very different in both history as well as fanbase and personality will compete for what is the biggest trophy in all of club sport. Only one team will get what might be the ultimate bragging rights in one of the world’s biggest rivalries. Often ignored due to Real’s dominance, the Madrid Derby will be on the biggest stage come kick off. Just don’t expect the big brother to let their little brother leave Lisbon with any bragging rights. After all, they have spent far too much money and waited far too long for something like that to happen right?

Learn to Run clinics in full swing this spring season By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
The annual Health Foundation Charity Road Race is coming, but before then prospective runners might will want to get training in to get ready. The Learn to Run clinics, running Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Yorkton Regional High School, help people learn how to get the
best results in a healthy way. There are three different groups, depending on skill level and their desired length explains Bernie Wlock, who is an organizer of the clinics. The different groups are connected to a different planned race, with 5km, 10km and half-marathon planned distances. Each group tackles a different training regi-
men and each week has a different training regimen. There will also be different guest speakers over the next three weeks, Wlock explains, covering topics such as nutrition, proper athletic wear and stretching. Jeanette Johnson is in her second year participating in the clinics. She says she began running because
coworkers who were already part of the program encouraged her to take part. She says that Wlock is a good motivator for the group, and one of the reasons she came back again for this year’s clinics. Johnson describes her first race experience as difficult and nerve-wracking, but that it was worth it to push through and she was proud of her accom-
plishment. She also went to other races in the year, and encourages others to start running themselves. “Get off the couch and get out and run, it’s good for you,” Johnson said.

YBID NEWS A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District
It finally appears that spring has arrived. That means that the YBID Clean Street Crews will be back in action in just a couple of weeks. Every year a group of four hard working men and women from SIGN walk our YBID District picking up the butts, broken glass, papers and other items which people are too lazy to toss into the supplied trash cans. This group of hard working people keep the sidewalks looking clean. If you want to help them place your trash into the provided containers and if you see something that should be in the trash, pick it up and place it there. It will really help. Unfortunately we have lost a great business that was in the YBID for a short time. Sabre Meats Deli has closed its doors. They provided great processed Gloria Hayden meats and other deli items, we will miss them. Community Centre When one door closes another opens. Welcome to the new SportChek, Atmosphere and Auto Parts stores. They are located in the former Canadian Tire Building south of Superstore. We can’t wait to visit you all. REGULAR HOURS Monday to Friday Have you popped into the stores in the YBID that are open late Thursdays? 8:30 a.m. to Noon There are several that are open till 8PM or later. Look for various ads telling you 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. CLOSED during the lunch hour which businesses and when they are open. Saturday & Sunday Noon to 5:00 p.m. We are awaiting the expansion of Home Hardware in Yorkton. For bookings call 306-786-1776 7th Ave is now closed between Broadway and Smith and that has set the stage for Alex and his people to move forward Cameo with some exciting expansion plans. After a few years of just a sign on the property congratulations to the Pizza developers of the new H&R Block building now under construction Pizza, on west Broadway. Pasta, Over the last few weeks YBID has been seeking talent to perform in the park in July and August. We are still searching so if you are in a band, a single and More!! performer in music or the arts and want to get some stage experience we 10 First Ave. N. Yorkton welcome you. Call our YBID Office at 306-783-9243, we would love to have you! 306-783-3666 If you own a business in the YBID and are celebrating a milestone or Anniversary we would love to feature you and your business in this ad, for free! Let us know, just call 306-783-9243 and talk to Phil DeVos our Executive Director.
