Meeting challenges of growth – Ottenbreit: Throne Speech By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Saskatchewan government’s throne speech for the 2013-14 year has been released with the theme of meeting the challenges of growth. Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit says that it’s not a surprising direction for people who have been paying attention. It fits in with the province’s Plan for Growth 2020 and continues in the direction the government wants the province to head in. In health care, there are new initiatives to improve care for different people. Seniors, for example, will be able to receive house calls in order to reduce their amount of travel. There is a pilot program called “hotspotting” which identifies heavy users of the health care system and looks at the reasons behind their heavy usage and directs them toward different options for care
that are more efficient, as well as make emergency room care more efficient. “When you see some patients costing the system a million dollars in emergency room visits, there seems to be an issue there. I would not say they’re abusing the system, but they’re not getting the services they need effectively. It’s hard to say what’s causing that, but it’s something we need to look at to try to change the system.” Education sees the “Student First” approach to education, which will involve consultations with parents, teachers and students to look at what needs to happen in the education system. There will also be antibullying legislation introduced, responding to something Ottenbreit explains is a growing problem in schools world wide, and something that needs to be addressed.

Budget passed By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer
JOUSTING DEMONSTRATIONS by the Knights of Valour brought history to life for kids and adults at the 25th annual Harvest Showdown event held in Yorkton over the weekend. See more on Page 3.
It was tabled after a previous council meeting, allowing time for local residents to offer comment, however noting the fact that no input came forward, on Monday, Yorkton City Council opted to pass the 2014 budget which will mean a 5.5 tax increase across the board. “I spoke on this the last time and it still holds true ... I hope the public understands that the main thrust of what we’re doing is the streets and roads and the ‘not-so-pretty’ things where you cut ribbons. I’m fully prepared to support this budget,” said
Mayor Bob Maloney at Monday evening’s council meeting, giving much credit to administration for their hard work and foresight. All of the same view, councillors passed the budget unanimously. For the average home (valuing average at $200,000) the increase will equate to about $72 per year. Among the reasons cited for the increase on the operating side of the budget was the addition of an RCMP officer, increased snow removal costs, street cleaning, grass cutting and line painting.

Growth challenges Con’t from Page 1.
Advanced education will see more spots, with more training for residence in order to meet training need. That plan is reflected in the support of the Parkland College, in particular the development of the Trades and Technology Centre. Highways will also continue to see new twinning and passing lane initiatives. Ottenbreit says that the Highway 10 passing lane, between Fort Qu’Appelle and Balgonie, is an example of how passing lanes can improve travelling, as a regular user of the highway instead of a government representative. There is also a desire to improve safety on the province’s highways, with stricter focus on distracted and drunk driving. He says that it’s as much about changing attitudes as it is about enforcement, but that enforcement is a way to change those attitudes. “Distracted driving, or texting and driving to be more specific, has

actually surpassed drunk driving [in the number of accidents] so there has to be initiatives put in place that will deter those behaviors that cause those accidents and deaths,” Ottenbreit says. Head Start on a Home is expanding towards including rental properties and life lease programs to help with the province’s continuing housing shortage. Ottenbreit says that the existing program does open up the rental market a bit, but with expanding role of the
program it will further put available units on the market and stabilize it. Ottenbreit says that the government believes that rent control just leads to run down properties and discourages the development of new units, and their focus is expanding the rental market. The throne speech indicates a government confident in their direction, working to improve programs and continue down the same path. “It’s not reinventing the wheel, but refining,” he concludes.
City passes 2014 budget Con’t from Page 1. On the capital side, drainage issues took a big toll. Capital projects requiring tax dollars in the amount of $3,580,000 are proposed for 2014, said Lonnie Kaal, the city’s director of financing at a previous council meeting – $1,560,000 of that is slated for drainage issues. “Significant dollars have been allocated to drainage in recent years and the costs continue,” adds Kaal, saying the work must continue. Curbs, sidewalks and roadway
improvements have also been slated as well as further improvements to the airport. “The city has made good progress increasing the capital budget to maintain and replace existing assets... “All cities will require more funding for capital improvements to fix infrastructure as we go forward. Yorkton has made good progress in this regard...” The 2014 budget is available for viewing in its entirety on the City of Yorkton websit: www.yorkton.ca.
Expo about meeting the needs of producers By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Grain Millers Harvest Showdown hosted their fourth annual Canola Expo. The event brought together a number of speakers to touch on concerns of farmers in the region. Clark Anderson, director of the Yorkton Exhibition, says that the expo began four years ago, as the Yorkton region saw two canola crushing plants take shape. In response, the expo was created to reflect the increased importance of canola to the Yorkton region, as well as give farmers an
informative seminar that would help them in their business. The goal of the expo every year is to address the specific concerns on the farm, and Anderson says that the program reflects the main concerns people have in any given year. This time, it was a priority to address the bumper crop of the 2013 season. “We always try to pick topics of current interest to farmers and producers. This year pricing is a big thing on the farmer’s mind. With the huge crop they’ve taken in, prices are dropping.” He says that other issues reflected in this year’s events are things
like crop rotations and the complications that can come with growing more canola in the region. Overall, the program was very optimistic, Anderson says, especially compared to when the expo started four years ago. Still, responding to any problems farmers might have remains the priority, and having a big program to attract top quality speakers is the overall goal of the event. “We try and address the problems that are occurring in the field that summer, so in the fall we try to provide some answers.”

Take the Remembrance Day Challenge
From the South African (Boer) War to presentday missions, Canada’s brave men and women have served our nation with distinction and honour. In our times of greatest need they step forward, their strongest weapon a firm belief in peace and security around the world. They left their villages and cities, their farms and fishing communities, to make a difference – and they have. On Remembrance Day, and in the weeks surrounding it, Canadians remember our men and women in uniform, both past and present. Some Canadians do so in creative ways. Those include, but often extend far past the traditional laying of wreaths at the local Remembrance Day service. Remembering means something powerfully moving for Amanda (Thompson) Margetts, a Yorkton-raised teacher and the granddaughter of a local WWII Veteran, John Propp. In her first year of teaching, she told her grade four students her grandfather’s story. Then she suggested they each write a thank-you letter to a Veteran. The children, however, told their teacher they didn’t know any Veterans. “May we,” someone asked, “write a letter to your grandpa?” Their simple and profound letters decorated the classroom walls and eventually were compiled into a charming spiral-bound book-
Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz let titled “Dear Miss Thompson’s Grandpa.” Hundreds of copies were distributed to Veterans and their families, not only in our constituency and throughout the prairies, but as far away as Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital —delivered there by singer John McDermott, a passionate Veterans advocate. Those children and their teacher are vivid examples of what it means to “Make remembrance more than something you feel. Make it something you do.” That slogan, used by the Department of Veterans Affairs, is the mission of their Facebook page, Canada Remembers. For the month prior to Remembrance Day, the department has made practical daily suggestions of ways to remember the members of our military,
past and present. Each day includes a different challenge – or several. • Day 1 - Hear a story, share a story; invite a Veteran or Canadian Armed Forces member to speak to your class or workplace. • Day 2 - Lists two challenges: Organize a candlelight tribute ceremony, to remember those who died in Canada’s wars, and show you remember families who sacrificed sons, daughters, mothers or fathers to defend Canada with a share. • Day 3 - Be a pen pal! Write to a Canadian Armed Forces member posted in Canada or overseas. If you are a Facebook visitor, click over to the Canada Remembers page. Take time to scroll through the many comments and the ideas for acts of remembrance. The stories, photos and links will both fascinate you and deepen your understanding of (and appreciation for) the great men and women who serve and have served Canada in times of war and peace. How much time have you spent making sure our men and women of the forces know how much you value them? This year, I encourage us all to step beyond our usual Remembrance Day habits. Let’s make this vital day something we both feel and do – together.
Jousting takes center stage at Harvest Showdown By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Grain Miller’s Harvest Showdown always brings out a wide variety of entertainment for audiences, and this year brought the Knights of Valour Full Metal Jousting demonstration. The event brought history back to life, with knight games leading up to the main event, full contact jousting. Shane Adams with the Knights of Valour admits that it can look crazy at first, but this is
a long-lived sport, and has been a spectator sport for generations. The host of Full Metal Jousting, Adams, has been doing it for 20 years professionally, though he says that he was interested in the sport since childhood in Ontario. He says that he’s done everything he could for jousting, a sport that he loves. “It’s the original extreme equestrian sport, full contact jousting. Take two men, dress them up in 130 to 150 lbs. of armor, put them on top of their
2,000 lb. war horses, headlong, all in the attempt to unhorse their opponent... It’s a demolition derby on horseback.” Adams says that one of the things professional knights love about the sport is the bond between themselves and their horse, as man and animal need to trust each other when going into the joust. “You can feel that connection between yourself and that horse, and it’s like any other equestrian sport
because this is battle.” Part of the program was doing special demonstrations for local schools, and Adams says the response from the kids in Yorkton has been one of the most rewarding parts of the weekend. “To see the response from the kids brings me back to when I first dreamt of being a knight. For me it’s a rewarding thing, of course I do it as a career, but to see the smiles on the kids faces and hear those cheers, it’s pretty amazing.”
Adams says that the knights run a large educational curriculum in Ontario, and the goal is to continue that program further west, with the Harvest Showdown being the first step in that plan. The show itself went through the techniques and training that knights would go through, providing entertainment and history together. The full history program is much broader, and he says the program at the fair is only a portion of what they teach, but gives a glimpse into the
past. “It’s like bringing a history book to life. You can only teach a child so much by looking at a page, but by having that page of history come true right in front of their eyes. To see the magnificent 2,000 lb. war horses, in a book you would never know how big that actually is. To see a knight fully clad head to toe in steel and hear the clanking, that you can’t get from a history book. To see it live, that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.”

Don’t forget to remember... Veteran’s Week has arrived in Yorkton and across the nation – will YOU take the time to remember? Each year, from November 5 to 11, Canadians join together to celebrate Veterans’ Week – this year will be no different. During the week, hundreds of commemorative ceremonies and events will take place across the country to recognize the achievements of our Veterans and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. There are many ways to show that you remember and honour our Veterans: Pin a poppy above your heart. Attend the local Remembrance Day ceremony. Talk to a friend or relative who has just returned home from Afghanistan or who served in other areas of conflict. Listen to Veterans talk about their experiences. Change your Facebook profile picture to a poppy. Above all, we should vow never to forget. How ever you choose to remember, be sure to share with everyone you know. Together, it is our duty to pass on the legacy and keep the memories of our Canadian Veterans alive. A silent thank-you: By Dan Gray... “Have you ever wondered why, soldiers are overwhelmed with grief on this day, when they proudly, salute the maple leaf why it seems, they leave this place, to lands far away at the sound of the bugle, on Remembrance day. They’re remembering a time, when the world was a different place when wars were fought on a bigger scale, hand to hand, face to face where victories were defined, by the amount of feet you gained and body counts didn’t matter, nor did if your friend was slain. They’re remembering the battles, fought for their homeland and of comrades lost, on the beaches, and field of a foreign land and of the crosses that mark their place, row by costly row just so the world could be free, of a common foe. They don’t ask for a thank-you on this day to remember them nor do they ask you to go see, the place of their fallen friend They will not ask for anything, and they bought us our peace They put and end to war, so we could be free. So now you might understand, a little more about the soldiers tears when he stands and see’s the flag, while were gathered here, and although we may take for granted, the peace bought with their youth for a few moments that it might take, please pause to say “Thank-you”.”
If we don’t stand up for them, who will? I say it’s about time and this is something that should implemented all across the nation, not just in Ontario. The province of Ontario has announced it is allocated $5.5 million a year to the Ontario SPCA to create a special “investigations unit” that will be dedicated to enforcing “animal rights” laws basically. The group will police zoos, aquariums, puppy mills and the like. It will also offer an around the clock call centre to help enforce animal welfare rules. “Why bother with such an expense,” I can hear some saying, “it’s just an animal.” I can’t put into words how much that statement bothers me. They may not be able to express themselves verbally like a human can but there’s no way you can tell me an animal doesn’t have feelings and can’t be hurt. They can’t speak up for themselves so if we don’t, who will? A recent happening in Yorkton that was plastered all over Facebook just highlights the fact that there needs to be repercussions when animal abuse rears it’s ugly head. The happening drew attention and comments from hundreds. For those who didn’t hear about it, basically, two local teens, men actu-
ally (they are 19) decided to use a cat as a bowling ball. I’m not going to glorify their actions and get into all of the details, but they broadcast their stupidity on Facebook and now they are dealing with the aftermath as apparcharges are pending Shannon Deveau ently and I say GOOD. Sadly, what these guys did pales in comparison to some of the despicable and unspeakable acts that happen. People who do these things have no place in my heart or sympathy. And they should be held accountable. “A fair and just society must protect the animals who live among us,” says Ontario’s minister of community safety. And I wholeheartedly agree. “It is our job to protect those in society who do not have a voice.” Just like human rights need protecting, all living creatures deserve compassion. We may not have $5 million to spend annually in Saskatchewan but certainly we can do our part as a society to ensure cruelty is kept at bay somehow. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” – Mohandas K. Gandhi
The way I see it... Column
What we can learn from the saga of Rob Ford Sometimes, an event happens which can only be described as an achievement in stupidity. It’s an occurrence that reaches a certain height of bad decision making, a teaching moment which can be used for generations to as how a succession of wrong decisions can lead to great embarrassment, at a bare minimum. So it is that Rob Ford’s brief dalliance with crack cocaine will go down in history. It’s an event notable largely because it shows a man who somehow, at every juncture, made the wrong choice, and then expressed a steadfast refusal to actually deal with the consequences. It’s a virtuoso performance in outright ineptitude, it’s kind of amazing that the men behind it could become so prominent in the fine city of Toronto. Problem one, by Ford’s own admission, it happened during one of his drunken stupors. That he got drunk enough to be in a stupor was probably a bad choice for a man who is connected with the nation’s largest city. That he admits to having multiple drunken stupors indicates there might actually be a serious problem. I’m not going to get on someone for being drunk, just that it might not be a great idea for a major public figure to get too drunk, too often, with people who have hard drugs on hand.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Problem two, he was drunk enough to think smoking crack cocaine was a good idea. I have been so drunk I could barely stand, but even then if someone offered me crack I would have turned it down. I don’t know how drunk I would have to be to think crack cocaine was a good idea, but I haven’t reached that point in my life, and now that I’m older and wiser than high school I likely never will. I am also not the mayor of a major city, which seems like it should reinforce that your actions are public, and one should avoid doing particularly stupid ones. Yet, he has now admitted to smoking crack, which is one of those things that one should probably avoid if they are in the public
eye. Ford has said what has happened was in the past, and he wants to apologize and move on. The problem is that the deed is in the very recent past, and the fact that he actually thought it was an idea worth pursuing puts all of his decisions and actions into doubt. You really cannot respect someone who, as mayor, decides smoking crack is a great idea that could not possibly go wrong. That isn’t problem three, however, because problem three involves his brother. Enter Doug Ford, who is on Toronto’s city council, and who has decided to call for the police chief’s resignation because he might be biased. Yes, he’s calling for someone’s resignation because that person is doing their job, investigating allegations that his brother did something so monumentally stupid that it is getting international attention. That’s bold, and frankly, it only makes the mayor look like more of a laughing stock. The Ford brothers have conspired to make the entire city of Toronto the shame of Canada, because of a situation that could have been easily avoided by anyone with any sense. What can we learn from this? We can learn that we need to consider our decision making. Ask yourself what Rob Ford would do, and do the opposite, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Your letter of the Week
CETA to address skills system Lest we forget To the Editor: According to reports, the Prime Minister will rise in the House of Commons on Tuesday October 29th and present some details of a tentative economic agreement between Canada and the European Union. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is the most far-reaching economic agreement in Canadian history, and includes important provisions on mutual recognition of professional qualifications between Canada and the 28 nations in the EU. Its provisions on professional qualifications could have significant impact in Canada, as it has long struggled with the issue of foreign credential recognition. The Europeans are far ahead of Canada in this regard, having in place a comprehensive European Skills and Competency framework that defines competency for virtually every occupation, and allows relatively simple credential portability and mobility throughout the EU. In Canada, each province assesses and awards professional credentials individually, and while there has been movement on harmonizing standards, Canada still has no national qualifications system in place, let alone any means of recognizing portability of learning throughout a working life. In Canada, a career change often involves “returning to go”, starting over at
the most basic post-secondary levels and moving through subsequent levels of learning, rather than simply recognizing acquired skills and knowledge gained over a working life and then applying training and education to fill in the gaps. In fact, recognizing acquired skills and knowledge can’t even be accomplished in a Canadian province without a cumbersome and incomplete “prior learning assessment/recognition” (PLAR) process. In the EU, it is not only possible; it is part of the fabric of education and learning. The ridiculousness of Canada’s professional qualification and credentialing system was made glaringly evident when I did my last private pilot medical, which required me to have an electro-cardiogram. After we were finished, I asked the flight surgeon if they’d found anything. He smiled, and said he couldn’t say, because we were in Alberta – but if we had been in Saskatchewan he could tell me that everything was fine. For the skilled trades, we have the interprovincial Red Seal program – but Nova Scotia refuses to recognize training and on-the-job time acquired in another province. Huh? How is it that in Europe 28 sovereign nations can agree on common credentialing and qualification standards for 500 million people, but in Canada we can’t figure this out for 13 provinces and territories representing only 35 million or
so? It’s ridiculous, and it needs to change. When Canada signs off on CETA, there’s a huge opportunity for opening trade in skills – but only if we get our act together. Since we don’t currently have anything approaching a Canadian qualifications and competency framework, why not adopt the European model? It’s already built, it is in place, and competency-based criteria for assessing the qualifications have already been established. Why re-invent the wheel? The provinces, or course, will squawk, as they regularly do whenever an initiative is discussed that supposedly infringes on their jurisdiction (see Canada Job Grant), and therein lies the problem. It’s time for the feds and the provinces to stop acting like school children and get it right. Otherwise, the benefits of professional recognition will accrue to the Europeans, and Canadians will be left out – not because we’re less skilled or less qualified, but because parochial politics prevents us from having a mechanism for quantifying our skills. CETA is coming, and we probably have a couple of years to get ready for the changes that this agreement will bring. Adopting the European skills and credentialing model seems like a no-brainer... and the clock is ticking. Jeff Griffiths, Troy Media Corp.
Are triple digit sales taxes the answer? To the Editor:
In the recent Speech from the Throne, the federal government announced a variety of initiatives but the one that drew much attention was its ostensible consumerfriendly tack. On some consumer issues, the Conservative government has the right instincts, promoting competition within the cellphone sector for example, even if its approach to the upcoming wireless spectrum auction is flawed. In other places, the Harper government’s predisposition is counterproductive. For instance, ponder
the federal government’s desire to micromanage how airlines double-book seats. This government desire to direct is daft. Consumers who don’t like the risk of an overbooked flight can choose airlines which don’t engage in the practice; others might well be fine with the chance they will be bumped. Those consumers will happily take the flight vouchers offered and usually worth several hundred dollars in exchange for the inconvenience. This is not a matter Ottawa needs to regulate. More critically, the Speech from the Throne will do little to put downward pressure on the
costs of the basic necessities of life – dairy and poultry products, for example. Those are still “protected” by both a government-created cartel system and by extremely high tariffs (i.e. taxes). When applied to basic foodstuffs, it means above-market prices result. That hurts poorer Canadians the most. Before detailing the federal government’s blind spot, however, let’s put some matters in perspective, starting with consumer reactions to visible taxes: Consumers hate them. Examples abound. In 1991, taxpayers became ornery over the introduction of the Goods and Ser-
vices Tax, even though, as a tax the then seven per cent GST was far superior to the 13.5 per cent hidden manufacturers’ export tax it replaced. (The older tax acted as a tax on Canadian exports, rather counterproductive if you’re was trying to sell Canadian-made items to foreign buyers.) More recently in British Columbia, 881,198 voters, or almost 55 per cent of those who cast a ballot, turfed the Harmonized Sales Tax in a 2011 provincial referendum, despite the fact that the HST was superior in design and function to the two taxes it replaced.

War Amps celebrates 95 years of helping
To the Editor:
While most teens consider celebrities to be their role models, one 15-year-old named Jenna says 87-year-old Bert Steinhoff is hers. The two have a special friendship that spans more than 11 years. Although it may appear they have little in common, they are both leg amputees and members of The War Amps. Jenna was born missing the tibia in her right leg and it was amputated when she was three months old. Bert lost his right
leg when he stepped on a landmine in Italy during the Second World War. Amputee veterans like Bert created The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which provides financial assistance for artificial limbs and other valuable programs to child amputees across Canada. Like Jenna, I share a special connection with war amputee veterans. Growing up in the CHAMP Program after being born missing my lower left arm, I have had the privilege to learn about Canada’s military heritage through The War Amps Opera-
tion Legacy, and also know what it is like to live without a limb. The War Amps is celebrating its 95th anniversary of “amputees helping amputees” this year and has released a short video about Bert and Jenna’s unique story. As a local representative of Operation Legacy, I would like to invite the public to see it by visiting The War Amps YouTube channel (youtube.com/warampsofcanada). Crystal Young, Operation Legacy Member, Regina, SK.
Undervalued? Or do they just not care? To the Editor: I was disappointed that only 73 percent of Saskatchewan’s over 12,000 teachers voted down a contract offer from the government (SP, Nov 1, 2013). Teachers were offered
an insulting four-year agreement of 1.375 percent per year. This is on top of teachers accepting a less than cost of living settlement for a three-year retroactive contract in 2011 and point six of a percent (.006) over five years
during the 1990s. One wonders whether the 27 percent of teachers numbering approximately 3,200 who vote for this measly contract offer can manage even fundamental mathematics, and can actually calculate anything.
Or maybe they just like being treated like second-class employees, unvalued and easily intimidated. Or maybe they just don’t care much anymore. Dennis Hall Saskatoon, SK.
To the Editor: November can be a dreary month with the on-set of another winter. But on the positive side, it’s also when we celebrate Grey Cup, the always-successful Canadian Western Agribition, and the full arrival of hockey season from Pee-Wees to the NHL. Most importantly, November includes Remembrance Day and Veterans Week when we pay tribute to the courageous women and men of the Canadian Forces, past and present, especially those who have served in war, the wounded, and those who didn’t come home. From the Boer War to Afghanistan and Libya, close to 2-million young Canadians have served with skill and valour in multiple theatres of war around the world – 118,000 made the supreme sacrifice. Many thousands more sustained physical or psychological injuries. We all-too-easily toss around words like “hero” to mean various icons in the world of sports or entertainment. But our true heroes are those who have actually put their lives on the line for others – to defend freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. All of Canada’s veterans from WW1 and before have now passed away. But we still have with us about 91,000 from WW2 and just over 9,500 who fought in Korea. They are joined by new veterans from peacekeeping missions and other more recent assignments. Because of their service and sacrifice – whether 70 years ago or just in this past decade – these Canadian heroes are a serious national responsibility. The ceremonies on November 11th and other solemn occasions bring us together as a nation to acknowledge the enormity of what Canada’s military men and women have given and accomplished. We say “thank you” and pledge never to forget. But that’s not enough. Many war survivors suffer still. Indifference and on-going budget cuts mean too many wounded soldiers and those affected by posttraumatic stress are not getting the help they need. DVA offices are being closed. Services are harder to access. The privacy of medical records has been violated. Families of more than 20,000 recently-deceased veterans have been denied support for dignified burials. Veterans had to fight in court for six long years to fend off a government claw-back of their pension benefits. In other legal cases, the government is contending that it owes veterans no special duty. Such an attitude is completely wrong! This Remembrance Day, let all Canadians resolve to do better. Lest we forget. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

City awarded for innovation The seventh annual Saskatchewan Municipal Awards program has announced this year’s winners. The awards recognize innovation and excellence in Saskatchewan local governments of all types. Making the list this year is the City of Yorkton. • First Place: Harvest for Hunger (Towns and RMs of Churchbridge and Langenburg) – Winning Practice: A one-day event coordinated by more than 400 volunteers, attended by roughly 6,500 people, and which raised $40,000 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank while raising awareness about the ongoing issue of global hunger. • Second Place: Anti-Bullying Bylaw (Town of Eston) – Winning Practice: An anti-bullying bylaw that can be used by the town, school, and local RCMP to educate, raise awareness, prevent bullying, and create concrete enforcement tools. • Third Place: Logan Green Water Management System (City of Yorkton) – Winning Practice: An innovative, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective new water treatment plant that created 210 acres of green space while ensuring a 25-year supply of water for the city. • Regional Cooperation Award: Twin Lakes Community Planning Association (Towns of Carrot River, Choiceland, and Nipawin, Villages of Codette and White Fox, Resort Village of Tobin Lake, RMs of
Moose Range, Nipawin, and Torch River) – Winning Practice: A regional planning association that became a formal planning district, giving communities more opportunities to work together on issues of mutual interest and benefit.

Mushrooms: not your ordinary plant or veggie One of the most unique foods that we consume on a regular basis is mushrooms. Unlike any ordinary vegetable or plant, mushrooms are actually members of the fungus family. They are produced from spores rather than seeds, and therefore lack the familiar plant traits of leaves, flowers, and roots. During the development of normal plants, nutrition is absorbed by not only the roots system, but also by the presence of chlorophyll in the green leaves and stems. Mushrooms on the other hand must find other ways to derive nutrition to aid in their maturation. In order to do this, they adhere themselves to different organic matters and feed on the nutritional elements that are naturally found there. Although there are thousands of different varieties of mushrooms, less than twenty species are cultivated commercially. The most standard varieties that we find in the local retail markets are the white button (common mushroom), crimini, shitake, portabella (aka portobello), oyster, and occasionally enoki mushrooms. White button are the most commonly used
mushrooms that we are all most familiar with. Therefore they are the most recognizable mushroom and the most widely cultivated variety. Crimini look like brown button mushrooms but are actually immature portabella mushrooms and thus more delicate in texture than fully grown portabellas. Shitake mushrooms originated in Asia. They are dark brown, have a smoky and somewhat nutty flavor, and the tough woody stems are usually discarded. Portabellas (or Portobellos) are very large with their tops ranging anywhere from seven to 12 centimetres and are known as the steak of all mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms are fluted and their stems are usually grouped together. They have a mild flavour that some say is reminiscent of oysters. Enoki mushrooms are the smallest and most delicate of the varieties listed here. They grow in clusters of small white caps on long thin stems that are usually six to 10 centimetres long. Occasionally mushrooms are served as the principal component of a dish, such as stuffed mushrooms, however they

Chef Dez on Cooking
Shirley G. Mission, BC Dear Shirley:
by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com are usually added to a recipe as one of the ingredients or accompaniments, such as in soups, salads, omelets, and pizzas for example. They are available not only fresh, but also dried and canned as well. If you are buying dried mushrooms, rehydrate for approximately 30 minutes in just enough warm water to cover them, and reserve the flavored residual liquid to add to recipes along with the refreshed mushrooms themselves. Canned mushrooms are usually just the ones of the white common variety and come in whole, slices, or pieces. Despite being convenient, canned mushrooms lack the same nutritional value as fresh mushrooms due to the processing procedures involved. They also have a completely different flavour and texture than fresh as well. Although fresh mushrooms don’t keep well for
long periods of time, the ideal storing environment is in the refrigerator in a brown paper bag, rather than in plastic. This allows for proper air circulation by letting the mushrooms “breathe.” Trapping moisture in a plastic produce bag will cause rapid deterioration and the development of bacteria. Mushrooms consist of mostly water and therefore can spoil very quickly if not kept in the proper environment. Many non-cultivated wild mushrooms can be very poisonous, and even lethal. To be safe, you should always avoid eating any wild mushrooms unless you are professionally trained to recognize the different varieties that naturally grow in the wild.
Welcome to new residents Miranda (Mandy) Reilkoff-Leis and Christopher Leis who have built a lovely new home at GSA. We hope you will join us at our community functions. It has been a busy fall for volunteers at Good Spirit Acres. Some residents moved some of the trees from the “nursery” to Spilchen Meadows and recently another group of volunteers put up a snow fence to prevent snow drifts along Capillano Drive. Thank you to everyone, young and “older” who helped with all these
projects. The golf course and the Hamlet did a joint effort to remove the bull rushes along the 18th fairway and the Hamlet cleared the waterway from the golf course to Capalano Drive. The Hamlet also raised the bridge to allow the spring water to flow unobstructed. So the fall tasks are done and we are ready for the winter season. The Hamlet wishes to thank Jim Rediger for his three years on the Hamlet Board as he was an excellent Chairman. Vern Bohach filled the vacant Board seat and will serve for the next four years. • Chairman: Don
Thompson, who will also look after: Transfer site and Maintenance • Secretary/Vice Chair: John McDonald, who will also look after: Roads/ Drainage • and, Community Heart Unit Treasurer: Vern Bohach, who will also look after: Lights and Lagoon We are holding a community “Christmas in November supper” which will be catered by the Cruisin Café from Yorkton.

Dear Chef Dez: What is the best way to clean mushrooms? Should I wash them like any
What’s happening at Good Spirit?
Submitted by Carol Olsen
The best way to clean mushrooms for cooking is simply by rubbing them with a damp cloth. Washing them in water causes them to be oversoaked and will reduce the amount of natural flavour that they have to offer. If serving them in the raw form, some people prefer to quickly rinse them under cold water, and this
can be fine as long as they are not soaked in water. Additionally, you can add a bit of white vinegar to this rinsing water to help keep raw button mushrooms looking as white as possible.

I’d like to share this email from a Good Spirit Acres cottage owner, with our residents and other readers: It appears that another season has come and gone for us. This is our third year at GSA and we absolutely love it! The Golf Course was in great shape, People are building and the lake is always nice. The entire area is awesome but, the best part of it is the People!!
From the very first time we arrived meeting Barry Bradshaw and Don Thompson and then having Larry Kopan lend me a truck (he didn’t know me from Adam!!). To meeting Joe and Dale Cherewyk to Hogger and Blacky and our fave’s “Pro Shop Flo” and “Ferny” in the store and, for that matter, everyone else that works there. From Terry and Sandy, Reg and Marilyn to John and Lynn, everybody is awesome. I know I have missed many and, for that, I am sorry. Getting a chance to Golf with Norm and Don, and being welcomed by the Men’s night group, that is what makes the area special to our family. I think for anyone wanting to sell property or lots in the area should tell prospective buyers about how nice the area is but, what makes it an even greater place to be, is the People. Thanks to everybody in GSA, Hope to see everyone soon. Take care my Friends! – Bob Ramsay A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks!

Triple taxes Con’t from Page 5.
But compared to the battles over the GST and HST, whopping import tariffs (i.e., taxes) designed to keep competition low and food prices high rarely garner much public ire because, unlike the GST or HST, tariffs are not visible on your bill at the till. Just look at some hidden tariffs on imported dairy products: Yogurt, 238 per cent; milk, 241 per cent; cheese, 246 per cent; skim milk powder, 270 per cent; ice cream, 277 per cent, and butter, 299 per cent. As part of the planned Canada-European Union free trade agreement, the government signalled its intent to let in more tarifffree cheese from Europe, but this is hardly a dramatic reform; poorer consumers are not likely to buy imported French specialty cheese, though this could change if the doors to imports were thrown wide-open and dairy prices dropped. A more necessary, but ignored, reform in the dairy sector would allow open competition across the Canada-U.S. border, and even between provinces. Right now, even internal entry into the dairy market is restricted and quotas on supply are imposed through the Canadian Dairy Commission, a Crown corporation which chairs the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee. The latter body has the power to set restrictive quotas on dairy production. Federal legislation to allow such cartel-like powers was only passed in 1966 so it is not as if there is some constitutional right to a cartel in cheese and milk. To help consumers, especially those with the lowest incomes, the federal government doesn’t need to micro-manage airline tickets. Nor does it need to concern itself with whether a cell-phone company charges two bucks for a paper bill. It could, instead, focus on the big picture and repeal legislation and policies that block new entrants into a market and thus restrict the supply of products and services to consumers, the effect of which is usually above-market higher prices. The Conservative government may well intend to help consumers, but the best way would be to start killing the tripledigit taxes on imported dairy products, whether from the European Union, the United States, or anywhere else.

The Canada Remembers Program endeavours to keep alive the achievements and sacrifices made by those who served Canada in times of war, armed conflict and peace and to promote an understanding of the significance of these efforts in Canadian life as we know it today. As most people in Canada today have never experienced war, “Remembrance” becomes a challenging concept to incorporate. How do you remember what you haven’t known? Some have been fortunate to have had relatives; grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grand parents, who shared their stories of war and peace. Some, our newer Canadians, have sought Canada as a new home, safe from their own wartorn motherlands. We have all studied some Canadian history in schools. But the vast majority of us, especially the youth, have no first hand or even second hand knowledge of war. And thankfully so. But we can come to understand and appreciate what
those who have served Canada in times of war, armed conflict and peace stand for and what they have sacrificed for their country. We live in a wonderful country, full of opportunities and freedoms we often take for granted. You can be sure that Canadian Veterans do not take our situation for granted. Young men and women sacrificed all they knew, all the comforts, love and safety of home in order to defend the rights and freedoms of others. Some returned with permanent physical and emotional scars, bound to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Others never returned. Veterans know the price paid for our freedom and they want all Canadians to share in this understanding. In fact, now, more than ever, they are passing the torch of remembrance to us, to the people of Canada, to ensure that the memory of their efforts and sacrifices will not die with them, and that an appreciation of the values they fought for will live on in all Canadians.
Take a Moment to Remember
Canadians have a reputation of being a peace loving nation, and this has been demonstrated time and time again when we have engaged in combat and peacekeeping operations for the sake of protecting humans rights, freedom and justice around the world. When you think of Canadian efforts in war and peace you come to realize that our desire to help was never motivated by greed, power or threats. It was in and of itself, a desire to protect human rights, all humans’ rights. So, although many of us cannot actually “remember”, we owe it to those who have served to learn, to understand, and to appreciate the task they have undertaken. Generations of Canadian Veterans, through their courage, determination and sacrifice have helped to ensure that we live in a free and peaceful country.

We will remember... let us count the ways Each year, from November 5 to 11, hundreds of commemorative ceremonies and events will take place across the country to commemorate Veterans’ week. These are opportunities for all Canadians to recognize the contribution our Veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada. There are so many ways to remember and honour our Veterans: • Wear a poppy. • Attend your local Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11th. • Thank a Veteran by sending a postcard for peace (www.veterans. gc.ca). • Teachers – order some free learning materials and use the Veteran’s Affairs (VA) Teacher’s Guide to lead your classroom on a remembrance journey. • Students – read one of the VA remembrance newspapers written just for K-2, K-Grade 6 and for Grade 7 and above. • Talk to a friend or relative who served with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan or in other areas of conflict. • View the VA Heroes Remember videos and listen to Veterans talk about their experiences. • Plant your own Garden of Remembrance. • Visit the VA remembrance challenge page where you will find videos and images you can use to create a mashup, build a virtual scrapbook, a fan site or just decorate your own Web space. Share what you build with others and link back to the VA site. • Use Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Flickr and show you
remember Canada’s Veterans. Post photos, videos, and messages using the hashtags #ShowYouRemember and #ShowYourThanks. • Visit the VA social media page. However you choose to remember Canada’s Veterans, be sure to share

Women at war During the Second World War, the role of women in Canadian society changed dramatically. Canada needed women to pitch in and support the war effort from their homes, to work at jobs that were traditionally held by men, and to serve in the military. Canadian women enthusiastically embraced their new roles and responsibilities and helped contribute to the success of Canada’s Victory Campaign. Roll up Your Sleeves for Victory! During the war, many women took a wide variety of civilian jobs that had once been filled by men. Canada had its own version of “Rosie the Riveter,” the symbolic working woman who laboured in factories to help the war effort. Women worked shoulderto-shoulder with men in factories, on airfields, and on farms. They built parts for ships and aircraft and manufactured ammunition. They drove buses, taxis, and streetcars. This level of female participation in the workplace was a first for Canada – thousands of Canadian women proving they had the skills, strength, and ability to do the work that men did. Out of a total Canadian population of 11 million people, only about 600,000 Canadian women held permanent jobs when the war started. During the war, their numbers doubled to 1,200,000. At the peak of wartime employment in 1943-44, 439,000 women worked in the service sector, 373,000 in manufacturing and 4,000 in construction. Women’s smaller physical size and manual dexterity helped them develop a great reputation for fine precision work in electronics, optics, and instrument assembly. With their sons overseas, many farm women had to take on extra work. One Alberta mother of nine sons – all of them either in the army or away working in factories – drove the tractor, plowed the fields, put up hay, and hauled grain to elevators, along with tending her garden, raising chickens, pigs and turkeys, and canning hundreds of jars of fruits and vegetables. Women who worked with lumberjacks and loggers during the war were called “lumberjills.” Canada’s Elsie Gregory McGill was the first woman in the world to graduate as an aeronautical engineer. She worked for Fairchild Aircraft Limited during the war. In 1940, her team’s design and production methods were turning out more than 100 Hurricane combat aircraft per month. Keeping the Home Fires Burning During the war, women extended their charitable work to the war effort. They knit socks, scarves, and mitts and prepared parcels for Canadians overseas,

gathered materials for scrap collection drives, and helped people displaced by the war by providing clothes and setting up refugee centres. To deal with wartime shortages, women became experts at doing more with less. They made their own clothes (sometimes even using an old parachute to make a wedding dress) and planted Victory Gardens to supply much-needed fruits and vegetables to their families and communities. In short, women – acting in the traditional role of homemakers – gave, saved, and made do. As part of the war effort, many commodities in Canada were rationed (a limit placed on the amount that could be used). Weekly rations of food included 1 1/3 ounces of tea, 5 1/3 ounces of coffee, 1/2 pound of sugar and 1/2 pound of butter. Some other rationed items included meat, whiskey, and gasoline.

Canadian women do their part Con’t from Page 8. Although household products of every kind were hard to come by, homemakers – conscious of the need for aluminum for the aircraft industry – often donated perfectly good aluminum cookware to scrap metal drives. Many women joined war relief clubs which were formed to improve the morale of the troops overseas. These clubs packaged canvas “ditty bags” with items such as chocolate, sewing kits, and razor blades. To save fabric and buttons for uniforms, the government forbade many ‘extras’ on manufactured clothing, such as cuffs on pants, any hem in excess of two inches, double-breasted jackets, flap pockets, and more than nine buttons on a dress. So much of Canada’s silk and nylon was required for the war effort that women could not find the seamed stockings that were then in style. Some fashion-conscious women resorted to paint, drawing lines up the back of their legs, to simulate the look of stockings.
the Second World War. • The Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWACS) had 21,600 members. • The Women’s Division, Royal Canadian Air Force (WDs) had 17,400 members. • The Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service (Wrens) had 7,100 members. • Women in the services filled many positions, including mechanics, parachute riggers, wireless operators, clerks, and photographers. • 4,480 Nursing Sisters (as Canadian military nurses were known) served in the war – 3,656 in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps, 481 in the Women’s Division of the Royal Canadian Air Force and 343 in the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service. Many of these women found themselves within range of enemy guns and some lost their lives. • Nursing Sister Margaret Brooke was awarded the Order of the British Empire for her heroic efforts to save her fellow Nursing Sister Agnes Wilkie after the S.S.
Caribou, the ferry they were taking to Newfoundland, was torpedoed in the Cabot Strait in 1942. The Legacy The collective experiences and accomplishments of all Canadians, including those of women, during the great struggles of the Second World War have provided our country with a proud and lasting legacy that will continue into the country’s future. Canada Remembers Program The Canada Remembers Program of Veterans Affairs Canada encourages all Canadians to learn about the sacrifices and achievements made by those who have served – and continue to serve – during times of war and peace.

Comrades in Arms Many Canadian women wanted to play an active role in the war and lobbied the government to form military organizations for women. In 1941-42, the military was forever changed as it created its own women’s forces. Women were now able, for the first time in our history, to serve Canada in uniform.

Spending Christmas on the front lines – a world away from home
Christmas is a special time of year to be with family. Although we all benefit from Canada’s military efforts, most of us have little understanding of war and its impact on everyday life around the world. We may often overlook the little things, such as the difficulties and heartache that soldiers and their families feel while being apart at Christmas. No one wants to be away from their loved ones during the holidays, but for Canadian troops and their families, it can be a sad reality. In December 1944, Thérèse Perrault was nine years old, and although her belief in Santa Claus was not as strong as before, she still sent him several letters all the same. But she didn’t ask for gifts; she asked that he give the doll she might have received to a little girl in war-torn Europe. All she really wanted was for Santa to send news of her big brother Richard, who had gone to the front. It had been months since her family had received his last letter...
prosperity. We left the church quickly. It was hard enough as it was. But there was also another mass waiting for us at home. It was being broadcasted on national radio, from London, England. When we turned on the radio, a man was signing “Silent Night” in French. He was just about finished... When he was done, the announcer spoke in English, and my father translated as best as he could. We heard words like “military,” “Chaudière regiment,” “O Holy Night,” and then I heard the most
beautiful voice in the world... It was Richard who was singing! My parents didn’t believe me right away, but quickly realized I was right. It was him! IT WAS REALLY HIM!!! We all fell silent so we could listen to the rest of the Christmas carol. “O Holy Night” never sounded so beautiful to us as that night when we heard Richard sing it across the airwaves.
– Excerpt from the book Lettres de décembre 1944, by Alain M. Bergeron, Éditions Pierre Tiss
(Arthabaska, Quebec Monday, December 25, 1944)
Dear Santa,
Before going to Midnight Mass tonight, my parents stopped to visit our neighbours, the Maheu family. Mom had made meat pies and regular pies for them. I saw the pain on their faces. They were wearing black armbands to show they were in mourning. Santa Claus, why is there so much misery in the world? When we got to Saint-Christophe church, I prayed with all my might until my knees were sore and my hands hurt from squeezing them so tight. I was hoping that my prayers would go so high up in the sky that they would reach Baby Jesus. On this holy night, I was hoping for a miracle. At the end of the celebration, the parishioners were invited to exchange wishes of peace, love, health and

Government funds to help make a difference Community Engagement Partnership Fund
Community War Memorial Program
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) strives to keep alive the achievements and sacrifices made by those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace. Engaging Canadians in the remembrance of these achievements and sacrifices is one of the key objectives of VAC’s Canada Remembers Program; however, VAC also recognizes that it does not and cannot stand alone in honouring Veterans’ achievements and sacrifices. In pursuing its objective to engage Canadians in remembrance, Veterans Affairs Canada’s Community Engagement Partnership Fund provides financial assistance to non-profit groups and organizations who share these mutual commemorative goals. The Community Engagement Partnership Fund provides opportunities to engage in a variety of national and regional partnerships with non-profit organizations to undertake remembrance initiatives.
Monuments are used as gathering places for people to collectively remember those who have served Canada. They have the ability to bring Canadians together for Remembrance Day services and other military anniversaries or milestones, and help ensure that remembrance continues to be visible to Canadians in their own communities. With help from the Community War Memorial Program, communities and organizations across Canada will be able to build cenotaphs/monuments or major additions to existing ones, that promote and preserve the memory of all those who have served Canada since 1867.
Cenotaph/Monument Restoration Program
In partnership with community groups and local organizations, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) wants to ensure that cenotaphs and monuments honouring our Veterans, war dead, and significant military events are conserved to the highest standard of care and dignity. With help from the Cenotaph/Monument Restoration Program, communities and organizations across Canada will be able to restore cenotaphs and monuments that promote and preserve the memory of all those who have served Canada since 1867.

ceased, as well as other debts, are considered when determining the value of the estate. If it is determined that the estate and, if applicable, the financial resources of any surviving spouse are sufficient to provide for the funeral and burial, assistance will not be approved. If there are sufficient assets to cover a portion of the expenses, a grant in the amount of the difference, up to the maximum amounts stipulated by legislation, may be approved. Assistance may be provided to a maximum amount for the services of one or, if required, two funeral directors. This includes a solid wood casket, or one of equal or lesser value that may be made of wood veneer, preparation of the body, the use of a room for public viewing for up to two days, the use of a hearse and one other automobile, and the provision of grave-side services. The Goods and Services Tax is reimbursed on amounts paid for these services. The legislation permits reimbursement of the “lowest cost earth burial” in the county, township or city of residence in: a cemetery plot designated for Veterans, a plot in a section of a cemetery designated as a “Field of Honour,” or a plot that would ensure a dignified funeral. Burial costs may include the cost of the grave, the rental of a lowering device, the opening and closing of the grave and the costs of perpetual care. A military style grave marker (upright or flat granite, or in certain cases, flat bronze) conforming with the standards of Veterans Affairs Canada may be provided under conditions similar to those that govern funeral and burial assistance.

DAVID BALYSKY goes deep in the Raiders 40-8 loss to Moose Jaw Peacock Saturday in the Moose Jaw Championship. Running back Zak Kais left the game in the first quarter with a collarbone injury, sinking Yorkton’s hopes. For Terriers coverage see Page 24.
Raiders fall 40-8 in Moose Jaw Championship By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer For the Yorkton Regional High School Raiders, the Moose Jaw High School Football League Championship game might as well have been a repeat as untimely injuries changed the story from an anticipated match up between two of the best high school football programs in Saskatchewan into a story of “what if” for a second straight season. In 2012 the Raiders star running back Zak Kais was hobbled by a sprained ankle suffered just before playoffs after being the league’s leading rusher for most of the season, his backup in Tyson Haas was hurt with an injure shoulder who also played linebacker where they already were
missing Grey McKen who slipped in the shower prior to the game where the lost to Moose Jaw Peackock. This year Kais continued his bad playoff luck when it comes to injuries, breaking his collarbone on a bone crunching hit from Peacock senior linebacker Riley Ludwar. For the Raiders it took away half their playbook, forcing them to run a vanilla offense that was nothing like the complex schemes drafted by offensive coordinator Jason Boyda. Still the Raiders defense, backed by senior linebackers Tyson Haas, Grey Mcken and rookie Caleb Bymak held strong holding Peacock to just one touchdown until late in the half. Right before the half Peacock quarterback Sawyer Buettner went long to senior wideout Levi Paul who hauled in a pass to make it 16-0. To make mat-
ters worse for the Raiders they gave the ball to Moose Jaw with time left on the clock, enough to kick a field goal to make it 19-0. Yorkton came out hungry to start the second half, forcing a fumble on the opening kick off before David Balysky drove the Orange all the way to the Peacock seven yard line. A situation that almost ended every time with a Kais touchdown during the regular season ended with backup tailback Tyrell Ulmer being stopped just four yards shy of the goal line on third down. On the first Peacock play MVP Nathan Fall would take a handoff 85 yards, Moose Jaw would eventually score in what was the turning point of the game. Cont. on Page 24.

Yorkton Terriers fall in shootout away to Nipawin
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
When the Yorkton Terriers started their SJHL title defense back in September, one thing they likely weren’t counting on is another tight division race with the Melville Millionaires, a team that lost the league MVP and top offensive player last season and by all accounts were attempting to rebuild after two near misses in the playoffs prevented them from earning their first league title. Yet going into Saturday’s clash with the Nipawin Hawks, the fifth game of a seven game road trip, the Terriers were battling with the Mils for points in November an unlikely scenario going into the season. With assistant coach/assistant general manager Gord Pritchard behind the bench with head coach Trent Cassan in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia as part of Canada West’s coaching staff at the World Jr. A Challenge and Casey O, Brien off coaching Team Sask, the Terriers would give starter Kale Thomson the call in between the pipes. It would turn out to be a busy night for the veteran, who would reach the 50 save plateau for the first time in 2013/14. As expected veteran Nipawin Hawk Tad Kozun got on the board early on the powerplay scoring his 15th goal of the season with Tayler Thompson in the box for
hooking keeping the Terriers best penalty killing forward off of the ice. Nipawin’s Michael Lambert would score two minutes later to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Down 2-0 rookie Colton Procter would give the Terriers life with his first of the year as the Terriers checking line of Procter. John Odgers and Matthew Cox combined to give the visitors a much needed jump after the Hawks took a two goal lead. After Procter’s goal three minutes into the period swung the momentum, Josh Ellis would tie the game up before the halfway point of the second period, scoring his third of the season on the powerplay off of assists from Tyson Enzie and Chase Norrish to even the game at 2-2 where it would remain heading into the third period. Nipawin would get the lead back early on in the third as blueliner Maxim Powiada put home his second of the season past Thomson to give the Hawks a 3-2 lead. With time running out the Terriers would find their hero from a familiar place as their blueline once again would come up big when they needed them the most as Brady Norrish would score his sixth of the season to send the game into overtime. In the shootout the Terriers would get a goal from Tayler Thompson to put the pressure on the Hawks, but Tad Kozun would once again show why he is an early favourite for MVP by tying the game for the
Hawks yet again before Mitch Doell won it in the fourth round after misses from Kailum Gervais and Zach Zadorozniak. For Yorkton it would be their second straight loss after regulation and a game that kept Melville atop of the standings. The Mils defeated Humboldt in a shootout 2-1 behind the hot play of SJHL Goaltender of the Week Isaiah Plett, but they would see their clash with Notre Dame cancelled due to a strike between The City of Melville and their employees that kept the Mils game from being able to go. Uncertainty surrounding their home games may kill off some of their momentum but head coach Jamie Fiesell surprisingly has Melville atop of the league with 25 points through 17 games so far. For the Terriers they sit third in the league with 22 points with two games left in La Ronge before they can head back home to host the Kramer Division leading Kindersely Klippers on Sunday. On Sunday the Terriers will also be wearing camo jerseys in support of Canadian soldiers in conjunction with the public schools. With just under one month left until the Christmas break, the Terriers are right on schedule for another successful regular season, but the biggest surprise is the brewing early division race between the defending champs and their Highway 10 rivals. If the Terriers have any say about it, that race will be won by the defending champs sooner rather than later.
Raiders lose in final, but special needs student lives dream Cont. from Page 23. From that point on it was all Moose Jaw Peacock, with quarterback Sawyer Buettner finishing with 11 completions on 14 passes and four touchdowns all to senior receiver Levi Paul to give Moose Jaw 40 points on the afternoon. Caleb Bymak rumbled for a 70-yard touchdown run for Yorkton with 2:04 left to break-up the shutout, but the game was over at that point. Still with one last drive head coach Roby Sharpe opted to make a YRHS student’s dream come true. Team waterboy/diehard Raider fan and special needs student Tyler Senchuk, who was travelling with the team thanks to their new Getting in the Game program was sent out in his Raider jersey and a helmet to throw the final pass of the Championship game. Senchuk received the shotgun pass almost perfectly, went into a classic three step drop and delivered a pass to a wide open Tyrell Ulmer for a first down. After the game Sharpe said that the moment allowed the players to get a perspective that despite a second straight heartbreaking loss, life goes on after the football season. “He’s an awesome kid. You think about him, the kid would give anything to play. So we’re going to complain that we lost? We’ve got a kid there who would give anything just to be out there with the guys,” says Sharpe “He had his chance today too. Which was awesome.” “Today wasn’t about winning and losing and well we all wanted that memory and moment of playing for a provincial championship at home and winning the league it isn’t about that,” says Sharpe. “These players are going to move on to become lawyers and doctors, teachers, have careers and remember this as a special season which is what football is all about, growing people and making memories that last forever.” Senchuk was the focus of the new Getting in the Game program, something that was devised by coach Roby Sharpe due to the Grade 12 student’s deep passion for being a part of the team. Senchuk, who played elementary
basketball at Dr. Brass in Yorkton loves sports and was never able to attend road games due to a lack of teacher’s aides on the weekend. This offseason, Roby Sharpe decided that needed a change. Chad Nehring, a former Raiders linebacker who is playing pro hockey in the ECHL, auctioned off a game-worn Idaho Steelheads jersey for $3,800 as part of the Raiders’ annual Football Night in Saskatchewan where Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin was the keynote speaker. Current Raiders wideout Ryan Krochak helped put together a video and speech explaining why the Raiders were starting the program and the bids for the jersey started flying across the room. “Lee Rusnak, a local businessman here bought the jersey. That money went to this program we have called Getting In The Game so kids like Tyler could travel,” said Sharpe. “It’s not just for football. Any special needs student could travel with the team with a teacher’s aid and have a regular high school experience. For Sharpe the moment helped swallow what was a letdown for the team, which hasn’t exactly had the best luck in Championship games as of late. “The injury to Kais cut our playbook in half and running a vanilla offense is not going to work against a team with a loaded defense like Peacock,” said Sharpe who added “Maybe next year the Football Gods will smile on us with some health if we get back here.” Losing linebacker Grey Mcken, who expects to either commit to the University of Regina or Saskatchewan will be a huge blow as McKen won Defensive MVP at halftime on Saturday and led the team in tackles, as will losing Michael Kozushka on the line, but the Raiders team for a third year will be returning a wealth of talent. Peter Kozushka, who is drawing NCAA D-I interest, will be back on the offensive line as will Zak Kais in the backfield and interception and receiving yards leader Alex Popoff. Linebacker Caleb Bymak will be back for his second season to help at linebacker with Tyson Haas
and McKen graduating. A switch at quarterback will also be in the cards as David Balysky moves on after a successful switch from tailback to pivot this season, he will likely be replaced by two year
YRHS Jr. team starter Nick Payne, who helped the Raiders reach the RMF Final in 2012. New faces will come in this winter during workouts and during spring ball, but the graduating
players can remember being apart of one of the best era’s of the Raiders football history. Two straight Championship appearances and four losses over a two season span is something to be

Weyburn golfer makes the big time
About Graham (www. grahamdelaet.com)
“Graham grew up in Weyburn, Saskatchewan with his parents, Norm and Marilyn, and sister, Erin. Being Canadian, it was only natural that Graham’s first love was hockey – a sport he loved to watch, and loved to play even more. But injuries to his back and the realization that he might not be big enough (or GOOD enough) for a career in hockey lead Graham to focus on golf. The opposite of a golfhotbed, Weyburn is a small, blue collar town in rural Saskatchewan. The local golf club, Weyburn Golf Club, is where Graham developed his game and his passion for the sport, and is where he first began to dream of a life on the largest golf stage in the world – the PGA Tour. As an amateur golfer, Graham enjoyed great success both in college and as a member of the Canadian National Golf Team. In addition to his 10 wins in college, Graham was named WAC Freshman of the Year, 2006 WAC (Western Athletic Conference) Player of the Year, and was a three-time First Team All WAC player. Moreover, in 2005 he was the 2nd ranked amateur in Canada. After a strong amateur career, Graham decided to turn professional in the fall of 2006, earning
– News Review sits down with Graham DeLaet
status on the Canadian Tour through qualifying school. 2007 was a strong rookie year on the Canadian Tour as Graham amassed 7 top-ten finishes and finished up 13th on the Canadian Tour’s order of merit, not to mention an appearance in his first PGA Tour event, the 2007 Canadian Open. The early part of 2008, however, was not as kind to Graham as he found himself struggling to make cuts for the first time in his young career.
After some much needed downtime and a reassessment of his approach to professional golf, Graham returned to the Canadian Tour refocused and energized and ready to win. And that’s exactly what he did, winning the Canadian Tour’s Montreal event and following that up with two 2nd place finishes. Graham had regained his confidence in turning around his 2008 season and capped off the year with a trip to
the Mission Hills World Cup where Graham, and partner Wes Heffernan, represented Canada. Confidence soaring, Graham spent the early part of 2009 playing some Sunshine Tour events in South Africa, where he ultimately won an event (BMG Classic) and finished 8th on that Tour’s order of merit. Graham’s incredible 2009 season was one for the ages as he won money on six different golf tours around the world; a true
rarity in the sport. But, what truly made the year an incredible success was Graham’s run through PGA Tour qualifying school. Having won the Canadian Tour’s order of merit that year, Graham was granted an exemption directly into second stage of q school, bypassing first stage altogether. After getting through second stage, Graham went on to have a very strong showing at final stage finishing 8th and earning fulltime PGA Tour
playing privileges for 2010. It was a long journey from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, but Graham had realized his dream – he was at last, a PGA Tour player. Graham had an outstanding rookie season on the PGA Tour, finishing 100th on the PGA Tour money list, which made him top Canadian. The season had its share of ups and downs, but despite a back injury that plagued him for the better part of the season, Graham had several strong finishes, including a tied-3rd at the Shell Houston Open. That back injury, however, was not going away and Graham elected to have surgery on January 3, 2011 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back. The road to recovery was long and difficult, as Graham only played two PGA Tour events in 2011 while rehabbing his back. But hard work and patience paid off and Graham returned to the Tour in 2012 putting together a very strong bounce back season that included topping the $1 million mark on the PGA Tour money list for the first time in his young career. Graham has come a long way since turning pro out of Boise State University, and he and his loving wife are now reaping the rewards of years of hard work and determination.”
Sask’s DeLaet poised to join PGA elite
The News Review recently caught up with DeLaet in Las Vegas at the Shriner’s Hospital for Children Open. The following is a story stemming from that meeting. The 2013 PGA season has been a breakout one for Weyburn, Saskatchewan’s Graham DaLaet. The 31 year old Canadian golfer has burst onto the scene, climbing from 602nd in the World Rankings at the early stages of 2012 all the way into the Top 50 in the world and beyond. With nine Top Ten tournament finishes in 2013 under his belt, DeLaet earned a spot in the Presidents Cup, playing amongst the best golfers in the world and taking on the USA as part of the International team in one of golf’s most prestigious team competitions. At the Presidents Cup DeLaet made it clear why the relatively young Canadian from Weyburn was playing amongst some of the best in the world, by continuing to play top notch golf in Dublin, Ohio and in turn earned high praise in the media from some of the game’s top golfers. 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott referred to DeLaet as the MVP of
the tournament. “To me, the MVP has to be Graham DeLaet,” Scott said in a postround press conference.“I think he was phenomenal. He showed some real guts and determination in all of his matches and holing shots on the 18th is amazing.” On a team where seven rookies were on the International squad going up against current top golfers like Adam Scott and legends of the game in Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, DeLaet was one of the top performers and helped keep the International team in the mix despite being considered as fodder for a star studded USA team. At the end of the day the Americans prevailed, but it was another typical tournament for DeLaet. Low expectations for a relative rookie turned into eye opening results and high praise from those around the game. Post tournament USA captain Fred Couples told the Vancouver Sun DeLaet should be proud of his accomplishment and is a player that is truly on the rise. “I had never met him,” said Couples to the Sun. “I’m fairly keen on looking at golfers and can tell if they are good. That’s pretty obvious the last couple years, and then for

him to make the team, he should be very proud of that accomplishment. “He’s fun to watch. He hits it a long way, he putts well. You know, he’s just a very good player.” When asked by The News Review at a recent PGA tournament in Las Vegas about his Presidents Cup experience, DeLaet – who naturally played hockey being from Weyburn – said one of the best parts about the tournament was getting to be a part of a team for the first time in years. “Everyone fought so hard and it was so fun being part of a team again, it has been since I have played hockey that I have felt the whole team concept and it was a great experience. Even though we didn’t get it done and finish it off, it was the most fun week of my life without a question.” DeLaet also qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time in 2013 on the back of his consistent appearances in the Top Ten of tournaments over the course of the season, but his biggest claim to fame on the tour this year was his special weekend during the Travelers Championship in June. At the height of the Alberta floods, DeLaet pledged $1,000 per birdie and backed that up by playing one of his best tournament’s of the year. On Sunday DeLaet had the final round lead before Ken Duke and Chris Stroud edged him out by a single stroke to keep DeLaet from winning his first PGA title. Still he raised $9,000 for flood relief over the weekend, which was matched by PGA Canada and the story along with his final round lead continued to raise his profile as Canada’s top golfer. DeLaet, who learned the game on Weyburn’s nine whole course before playing his way onto the Boise State University golf team is currently one of the best stories in golf. After winning ten NCAA titles while on the Boise State golf team, DeLaet realized his pro tour dreams before hurting his back during his rookie season on the PGA circuit. After getting healthy and recovering from surgery DeLaet worked on his short game and along with the athletic swing he has always had from his hockey back-
ground has began a climb that has him pegged as a guy who is a popular dark horse pick to win a major in the coming years. Still DeLaet, who despite having some close calls has yet to win a tournament, says that he is taking things one tournament at a time. “I am just trying to do my best, week in and week out and just trying to get better all the time,” says DeLaet. Sitting on the verge of the Top 25 as the 2014 FedEx Cup season draws near. DeLaet has came a long way from swinging his clubs at his local nine hole course and is the best Canadian golfer since Mike Weir was in his prime winning the 2003 Masters at Augusta. Already the consensus best golfer in the history of the province, DeLaet’s next goal is to close the deal with a PGA tour win. Given his end to 2013, it should only be a matter of time before he has the elusive tournament win under his belt. Currently – for the 2014 season – DeLaet is 13th in Fedex Cup points, 13th on the PGA money list, and he ranks 32nd in the official world golf rankings.

Rider fans need to put up or shut up on Sunday
Sunday at 3:00 p.m. marks the start of the Saskatchewan Roughriders two week stretch that is between them and playing in the 2013 Grey Cup at Taylor Field as hosts. This season by all accounts is supposed to a special one, and likely the last time the venue that has housed Rider greats such as Ron Lancaster, George Reed, and Kent Austin will ever host a Grey Cup as the franchise and their fans continue to push for a new, cushier stadium that is surely going to get built eventually. This excitement also led to the Riders getting aggressive this offseason, bringing in big name free agents such as Geroy Simon to help meet the expectation that the Riders would make the Grey Cup and have a magical season. They also were planning on selling out a majority of their games and having a distinct homefield advantage thanks to the added capacity at Taylor Field reaching close to 45, 000 thanks to the installation of temporary bleachers to bowl the North and South ends of the stadium. There is just one problem, Rider fans are balking at the notion of having the sit through -11 on Sunday and around 15,000 tickets were left unpurchased at one point on Wednesday morning. Something that would have been dismissed as crazy talk during the two decade period when the Riders went without playoff football at Taylor Field is now sadly possible, there is a good chance that the Roughriders fanbase will fail to snap up every chance to see their favourite team play in the postseason. I am here to tell you that it is unacceptable. We here in Saskatchewan love to talk up our love for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. How we bleed green, drink copious amounts of Pilsner and flock to Regina nine weekends a year to give the best fan advantage in the CFL. We infamously refer to ourselves as the 13th Man, and those same fans have been so hurt by playoff losses and failures that they have been driven to pouring manure over their kicker’s front lawn after ending their season with a miss. You can’t go a Friday without seeing green at several local stores that have “Roughrider Day” on Fridays and you will see even more green on gameday. There is no dispute that the Riders remain king in Saskatchewan ahead of the province’s WHL clubs and Western Canada’s NHL franchises. So why the lack of excitement for Sunday at the box office? Yes it is cold, but -10 in November is far from what could potentially be one of the coldest Grey Cup’s ever in two weeks time from Sunday
Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig when Regina hosts the big game without being afforded sunlight. That game will surely be a sellout regardless of if the Riders play with a large number of Regina residents filling the stands. Yes television hurts attendance, especially with the NFL playing a full slate of games on Sunday afternoon and the fact that it is pretty nice to watch a game on a 50 inch HDTV in the comfort of your heated home with a long list of snacks rather than bundled up under two jackets and a ski mask to avoid frostbite. But a true fan wants to be there to give a homefield advantage, especially one that truly believes that Taylor Field is a fortress once the temperatures get into the negatives and the going gets tough. Have Rider fans became spoiled to the point that a first round playoff game bores them? Despite the
fact the franchise has hoisted just three Grey Cups in their over 100 year history? Sunday is not a bye, the BC Lions have came into Taylor Field and won earlier in the season 2422 and they have the weapons to do it again. The homefield advantage that makes the Riders favorites to win this game only exists if there is a Sky of Blue and a Sea of Green there to rattle the Lions snap count, to prevent the officials from making calls in the Lions favour, to turn momentum. Without the noise, without a full stadium there is no 13th Man. It is plain and simple. If the Riders are upset on Sunday and fail to reach the highly anticipated rematch with Calgary in the West Final, I know that my twitter account and facebook will be filled with finger pointing in all directions. Corey Chamblin’s job security will be in question, as will offensive coordinator George Cortez’, you will be calling for the heads of Darian Durant, Kory Sheets, Dwight Anderson, John Chick for letting you down. This if a fact. But if the game isn’t sold out you will also be hearing me, pointing the finger at those who complained who didn’t make the trip to Regina, who didn’t help the 13th Man come out and lift the Riders to victory. If you want the right to complain as a fan on Sunday, to me it comes with the price of admission. Go to Taylor Field, enjoy one last Rider game of 2013 in person, be loud and be proud. Anything can happen on Any Given Sunday, it might be your last chance this year to watch your team.

Yorkton’s Jordan Matechuk returns with BC Lions for playoffs By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
The 2013 CFL season might not have had a storybook beginning for Yorkton’s Jordan Matechuk as the veteran longsnapper/special teams weapon tried to earn a starting role in the league after a steroid bust earned him a release from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before spending a year on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers practice squad. In the preseason Matechuk landed on his boyhood team, playing for the Roughriders and trying to crack their final roster. In the end Matechuk was one of the final cuts on the team and they kept him on the practice squad, meaning he was free game to any team in the CFL on the waiver wire according to league rules. Still with longsnapping being an extremely hard position to earn a starting job in and an unwritten rule over not poaching other teams practice squad players it was looking like Matechuk was going to spend the year on the
Riders practice squad, hoping that an injury or an issue with the Riders longsnapping gave him a chance. That chance came, it just was in Vancouver, not Regina. Early in 2013 the Lions were having trouble with their longsnapper Tim Cronk, looking at the available players on the waiver wire across the league it was pretty much a no brainer to pick up Matechuk. An athletic player who can also be used as a gunner on kickoffs and play linebacker, Matechuk was claimed by Lions GM Wally Buono and was sent off to the West Coast. Matechuk played every game since making a long drive from Regina to BC Place, and it has been one of the league’s most underrated redemption stories of 2013 considering that just two seasons ago Matechuk was looking at jail and never playing football again. Since Matechuk has been a role model, talking about the depression that led him to the darkest part of his young life and drove him to make choices
that led to an arrest at the U.S. border. In Winnipeg he faced the media and even went on TSN’s Off the Record to talk about depression, becoming one the face of an ongoing mental health issue in the Winnipeg community despite not getting on the football field. That attitude earned him a chance from Riders head coach Corey Chamblin, who was given a hard sell from his former head coach Roby Sharpe during the summer’s Football Night in Saskatchewan and was brought in during the preseason and when things didn’t work out in Saskatchewan he was given a chance by Buono, who at the time of the move praised Matechuk’s honesty in owning up to his mistakes in the past to the media. Matechuk has been relatively error free ever since his move, partnering with a fellow former Rider in Paul McCallum, even snapping the game winning field goal at Taylor Field earlier this fall to help the Lions beat the Riders. In front of friends and
family, Matechuk was nearly 30 yards down the field with his hands extended in the air celebrating as McCallum’s field goal split the uprights. Now at 11-7 Matechuk will be returning to face his home province at Taylor Field on Sunday when the Lions square off with the Roughriders in the 2013 West Division Semifinal. Something his former head coach is extremely proud of. “To see Jordan take what could have been something very negative and to turn it into a positive and to get back into the CFL is something we at the YRHS are all proud of especially his former coaches,” says Sharpe. While Matechuk won’t be one of the key figures in the game outside of delivering snaps for field goals and punts, his Lions are in the position to spoil the Roughriders party as they eye a rematch with the Calgary Stampeders next week. With the Lions having an identical record to the Roughriders and Travis Lulay back taking snaps with the first team
offense this week the Lions present a potential trap game for the hosts who have spent a ton of time talking about Calgary in recent weeks. With the Riders winning the last two games over the Lions they will be considered favourites with the homefield advantage at Taylor Field, but Matechuk
will be eyeing an upset for his Lions as the dream of a Grey Cup season is still alive for the Yorkton native. Regardless of the score on Sunday 2013 will go down as a year of redemption for Matechuk, who has turned his life and career around, win or loss he will be a winner.
YORKTON’S JORDAN MATECHUK poses with former YRHS head coach Roby Sharpe after the Riders preseason game. Now with the Lions Matechuk returns for the Western Division Semifinal Sunday.

SHHS Lady Saints earn 4A Girls Conference title
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
After a promising second place finish in their home tournament the Sacred Heart Sr. Girls Volleyball team took part in the SHSAA 4A Conference Playoffs this weekend in Esterhazy. Ranked first going into conferences ge Lady Saints looked to continue their strong play in the first stage of their quest to qualify for 2013 4A Provincials. In their first match against Kamsack the Lady Saints did not disappoint coming out strong and winning two straight 25 – 14 and 25 – 10, making a statement that they were all business heading into the playoffs. In the second match of the day Sacred Heart faced Melville Comprehensive, in the first set Riana Skikewich used her strong serve to give Sacred an early 10 – 0 lead and the Saints cruised to a victory win-
ning the opening set 25 – 13 over the Cobras. In the second set Melville started strong taking an early six point lead in a reverse of the first set story, but the Saints rallied and tied the score at 10 – 10. With the match tied early in the second set again Melville surged ahead but the Lady Saints never panicked and tied the score at 23 – 23. With the set hanging in the balance and the Lady Saints’ chance of winning in straight sets slipping away Kristen Jonassen served an ace to take the lead and the Lady Saints eventually took the match 25 – 23 to win two sets to none. The Saints win set up the final match of the day in which the undefeated Saints faced the undefeated Esterhazy Warriors. With the two schools both sitting at 2-0 on the day both teams played with emotion delivering huge hits and amazing digs on either side of the net. Set one
was a see saw battle but Sacred Heart was able to earn the victory 26 – 24 . Set two was also a close match between the Lady Saints and the Warriors but Sacred Heart pulled away to win 25 – 19 to earn the Conference Championship, keeping their season alive for another week. Coach Perry Enns says, “I was extremely happy with the way the team played this weekend, especially our Grade 12 players. Morgan Shymanski served very well and earned us a tonne of points, Hanna Hansen delivered some huge blocks, Kristen Jonassen was a machine at the net leading the team in spike kills and Riana Skikewich our setter did an amazing job running our offense.” The Lady Saints will advance to the SHSAA Regional playoffs next weekend, if they can qualify out of Regionals they will play in 4A Provincials the following weekend.

YBID NEWS A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District
As we get closer to waking up and finding snow covering our world construction continues within the YBID almost at a feverish pace. The new City snow dump, while not in the YBID will help to store snow that is in the district this winter. It is located in the north end of the city behind public works. It really is a massive undertaking and city council has worked with their administration to see to it that all the spring melt flows safely thru the city and not staying around for a visit. Check this out, Sports Check that is. The former Canadian Tire Store is currently being transformed into what will be a new Sports Check store. We have been told that there may also be a couple of other businesses located in the building as well, but nothing official.
If you drive down 3rd Ave North and notice a nice red building, its not a new business, but a new looking business in the form of Home Town Source for Sports. The folks worked hard on it for the past couple of weeks and now the finished product jumps out at you, great look, great people, great store!
Innovation never felt so good.™
