Wagantall reflective on win/loss By Thom Barker Staff Writer Monday night, as CTV News projected a federal Liberal Party majority government on the big screen at the local Conservative Party campaign headquarters, a cheer went up in the room. They were not reacting to the Liberal win, of course, but rather the graphic on the right side of the screen that showed their candidate, Cathay Wagantall’s lead continuing to grow. While the mood in the Parkland Room at Painted Hand Casino was not exactly festive, it remained upbeat throughout the evening. The Conservative supporters, who gathered there had good reason to be happy with the local result. Wagantall picked up 21,630 of the 36,560 votes cast, fully one-third more than all her oppon-
ents combined representing a 59.2 per cent of the popular vote as a first time candidate. See the election results story this page for a full breakdown of the results. While the result, or at least the margin, is at least partially attributable to the fact YorktonMelville is a “wonderfully Conservative” riding as Wagantall described it, she worked it as if she was in a tight race explaining that was the only way she could be satisfied with herself. “If I want to be a member of Parliament with integrity, I have to be a candidate of integrity,” she said. “And I love that part of it; it gives me energy to meet people to hear what their concerns are and I feel that if you’re going to represent a riding you need to know your riding and so it’s absolutely paramount to me that I go out and run the campaign the way
it should be regardless of what you think the outcome may be.” Garry Breitkreuz, the outgoing Conservative MP and 22-year parliamentary veteran said the campaign was telling. “I think it tells you what kind of character she has and what she’ll do for us in government,” he said. I think she’ll be a very hard-working MP and I think she’ll represent this riding very well.” She will be representing Yorkton-Melville in a much-reduced 99-member Conservative caucus on the other side of the House, not exactly the position she hoped to be in heading to Ottawa. “On the larger scale, of course we’re disappointed in the outcome, but at the same time, Canadians have spoken and they’ve spoken in huge numbers, so we’re prepared to go to Ottawa and I have a lot to assimilate yet and hear exactly how we’re going to
proceed, but I’m looking forward to the opportunity to hold the new government accountable.” Breitkreuz was also gracious about the national outcome. “It’s a bittersweet moment for me,” he said. “Cathay has done really well and I congratulate her for her huge win here locally, but I also am hopeful that the new Liberal government will do a good job. I would have rather had another result, but this is what Canadians have decided and I wish them all the best.” In his victory speech Monday Night Prime Minister-elect Justin
Election results By Devin Wilger Staff Writer In the Yorkton riding, the final tally was 1,030 votes or 2.8 per cent for Elaine Hughes of the Green Party, 6,504 votes or 17.8 per cent for Brooke Malinoski of the Liberals, 7,396 votes or 20.2 per cent for Doug
Ottenbreit of the NDP and 21,630 votes or 59.2 per cent for Cathay Wagantall of the Conservatives. While a healthy majority for Wagantall, it was ten per cent down from previous MP Garry Breitkreuz’ total in 2011. Ottenbreit was also down by one per cent over 2011. All
Trudeau extended an olive branch repeating his oft-repeated remark that “Conservatives are not our enemies, they’re our neighbours,” and promising to be the “prime minister for all Canadians” and listen to all MPs. Wagantall was circumspect about the prospect of working with the Liberals. “I will have to see what they’re going to do and what their plans are,” she said. “Obviously I’m of a different mindset. We had 80 billion dollars set and ready to go for infrastructure in Canada over the next 10 years, a significant amount of money,
without going into debt. So, we obviously come at things from a different perspective when it comes to a number of issues like that, so we will hold them accountable, make sure what they do is best for Canada, if at all possible.”

of that support seemed to go to the Liberals, who only garnered 6.8 per cent of the vote in the previous election. A total of 36,560 valid votes were cast in the election, and there were a total of 53,694 eligible voters in Yorkton-Melville, a voter turnout of 68 per cent.

Privatization protested at Ottenbreit’s office The privatization of services in the Yorkton area has caused anger among some citizens. A rally, held on the doorstep of Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit’s office, protested some of the changes that have happened in the community, including the contracting out of laundry services for the health region. Unifor, the Sask atchewan Government Employees Union, Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and Saskatchewan Aboriginal Women’s Circle Corporation were represented at the event. Bob Bymoen, president of SGEU, says that they want to spread the message that the government is failing to give people good jobs within the communities, and objects to outside consultants and private corporations doing services that were previously handled by crown corporations “We hope that it’s creating a discussion, and we hope people in this province engage in a discussion about P3s, and what that really means, why would we hire someone else to own our public infrastructure and rent it back, be at the whims of that privateer that we don’t even know... Why would we hire a consultant instead of
hiring people within our community where the jobs are stable, and provide much needed employment in the community and good jobs?” The rally was also used as a platform to promote the Own It campaign, which is running until the next provincial election in April. Kent Peterson with the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour’s Own It campaign says that they want to get people talking about public services. “It’s about having a hundred thousand conversations with people and voters about saying yes to the benefits of crowns and public services, asking them to sign on and help keep those crowns in Saskatchewan as opposed to selling them off to out of province corporations.” Peterson says that lots of people are concerned about keeping good jobs within the community, and he says that as a rural area, this region has the most to lose. “Rural Saskatchewan really gets hit hard when it comes to privatization, because those jobs provide an anchor for folks whether they work for SaskTel or the government directly.” There was nobody actually at Ottenbreit’s constituency office during the rally itself, as the MLA himself was in
Regina and his staff were on their lunch break. He does say that he does not believe that the unions and the gov-
ernment are far off in their goals, and says he wishes they would have come when he would have been present to

hear what they have to say. “It’s unfortunate we weren’t able to be here to hear what they had to say... When it comes to having good jobs in the province, we couldn’t agree more, we have worked hard as a government and a party to create an environment for a strong economy because we know business and the community is the ones that drive the economy. But it’s a government’s responsibility to create an environment that encourages that growth.” Acknowledging that changes to laundry in the health region is one of the issues that has caused labour to come into focus in the region, Ottenbreit says it was a matter of infrastructure. He estimates that the upgrades necessary to the province’s laundry services would have cost $30 million.
“We feel that investment is better served as infrastructure for health care rather than laundry services... We’re looking at saving $10 million a year over the next ten years as a result of this K-Bro contract, that’s going to be centered out of Regina. Though we are losing a few jobs within the region, specifically when it comes to laundry services, those jobs are still going to be in the province, in a facility that’s based out of Regina.” In terms of local staff, Ottenbreit says some have transitioned to other services, some have received severance and others chosen early retirement, and claims the local impact has been minimized, though is still present. He also says that this has been something looked at by the previous NDP government.

Now rhetoric turns to reality None but the most optimistic of Liberal supports would have suggested even hours before the polls opened that Justin Trudeau was about to lead them to a majority. The polls were suggesting another close race. The question was what that might mean. Close races often mean vote splitting which mean wins on surprisingly small percentages of overall voters, as was witnessed last time around when Stephen Harper had found a majority. It was obvious the Conservatives were not finding news support. There is a portion of the electorate staunchly right of centre, and while they remained loyal, Harper had done little to broaden his personal, or party appeal to those closer to the political centre. That left a definite feel that change was wanted. The question was whether the Liberals of New Democrats would rally that support best. As the election wore on the NDP dropped in the polls, but no one was entirely sure if that would mean a Liberal majority, or whether we were headed to a minority. In the end Trudeau carried the day. And, it was very much Trudeau. While not as dynamic as his father, Trudeau found a way to connect with Canadians -- all Canadians. Or at least his message was for all Canadians, and that resonated with many voters. After a decade of Harper holding a tight rein on all things government, making the most recent term very much about him in the spotlight, and him alone, many Canadians wanted a different approach. Trudeau also spoke of an inclusive Canada, again resonating with voters as that has long been a country built on a wave upon wave of immigration. Harper had championed the idea of spying on neighbours for ‘barbaric cultural practices’, and pointed to every shadow as one hiding a terrorist. That is not the Canadian way, and it didn’t fly in the election. And so now the rebuild begins. Trudeau has to champion the cause of getting us back to being a country where all races, all religions, have a place to live in harmony. That has been one of this country’s greatest strengths before being eroded by the Conservatives. How Trudeau and the Liberals manage to repair the damage will be interesting to watch, as bigotry and outright racism was evident in the debate of people across this country. That will not heal overnight, but it must be addressed for Canada to be all this great country should be.
CTF releases pension and severance figures for the 2015 election 180 MPs who did not run for re-election or were defeated on election night will collect a projected $209 million in pensions over their lifetimes, and $12.8 million in severance payments Pension reforms which kick in on January 1, 2016 will see MPs and Senators finally paying more towards their own pensions OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today released its calculations of estimated pension and severance payments paid to the 180 MPs who were either defeated or did not seek re-election in the October 19 general election. Defeated and retiring MPs will collect $5.3 million in annual pension payments, reaching a cumulative total of $209 million by age 90. In addition, another $12.8 million in severance cheques will be issued to former MPs. The pension and severance calculations for individual MPs are available here. “Losing an election can be tough, but most MPs will have a soft financial landing,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “The good news is that thanks to the hard-fought pension reforms that take effect on January 1, 2016, taxpayers will not have to
shoulder as much of the burden in the future.” For MPs who retired or were defeated on Monday, taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by an MP towards their pension. After January 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to a ratio of $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for every $1 put in by an MP or Senator. Wudrick noted that eight former MPs will gather more than $100,000-plus a year in pension income including outgoing Conservative cabinet ministers John Duncan ($132,394), Peter MacKay ($117,746) and Bernard Valcourt ($116,987). In terms of lifetime estimated benefits to age 90, 21 MPs are projected to collect more than $3 million, including MacKay ($5.9 million), Liberal Gerry Byrne ($5.2 million) and Conservative Rob Anders ($4.7 million). “These pension changes are a welcome step towards broader public sector pension reform,” added Wudrick. “We encourage the new government to take the necessary steps to ensure government employee pensions are more in line with what the vast majority of Canadians working in the private sector expect to receive.”
The polls themselves could be a deciding factor The polls did not predict the result of the Canadian elections. They were projecting a Liberal government, sure, but they were predicting a Liberal minority government, which is slightly different than what actually happened. Of course, the polls also predicted that Atlantic Canada would not be painted bright red pretty much immediately, so election night did open with an indication that they were not exactly going to determine the course of the evening. This is far from the first time that the polls predicted results that didn’t quite align with the only poll that matters. Close races have gone the way of significant majorities for different parties across the country. You can predict a rough trend, but the actual election tends to go to an extreme rather than what the polls are suggesting are going to happen. It’s tempting to say those polls are pointless, but that’s not entirely true. Instead, the polls function in a way that isn’t really related to actually predicting election results. Instead, they have been used as a way to bring out support of the different parties and encourage their supporters to get out and actually vote in the election itself. A close election is one people are more likely to vote in. If Liberal supporters think there is a chance
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger they can take power, as the polls suggested they would, they have incentive to get out to their local polling station to do what they can to make that happen. In the case of the most recent election, that’s what happened, as it seems every Liberal in the country got to the polls. But it could work to benefit any party that was in play. Conservative supporters certainly showed up to attempt to stem the tide of red in Saskatchewan and Alberta. But one could argue that the polls have been used to determine the end results. Look at the NDP, which were cut down significantly in the end results. They might have started the election in a strong position, but the polls showed them in a distant third by the end of it. While a close race was nothing if not encour-
agement for the Liberals and Conservatives, for the third party in the running, it might have actually been the reason for their significantly smaller number of seats. It may have even pushed traditional NDP voters to move towards the Liberal party, if your party has no hope there is incentive to vote for what is the next best thing. As the saying goes the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the biggest enemy of the Conservatives was the Liberals by the time voting started. It stands to reason that some friends of the NDP went a few shades darker on the red in order to ensure that they would not have to worry about a Conservative government once the smoke cleared on Monday evening. Add in the factor of strategic voting, and the polls are becoming part of the decision making process for many of the country’s voters. It’s entirely possible that the polls are part of the reason why the Liberals were able to get a majority government, even as the polls themselves predicted that was a highly improbable outcome. Every Canadian voter had a different reason to support their party of choice, but for the people who simply wanted to go with the party with the best chance of ousting the Conservatives, the polls indicated it was the Liberals, so those polls had to be a factor.

Canada’s dairy industry has nothing to w(h)ine about
Questions need to be answered
Dairy farmers can compete, they just need to embrace the opportunity INNSBRUCK, Austria/ Troy Media/ - Canada dairy industry can compete globally, but it certainly won’t be easy, especially in light of the recent megatranspacific partnership trade deal which has left many wondering whether our dairies can actually pull it off over the long term. More market access for foreign-based milk products means Canadian consumers will increasingly have choices. But most importantly, the dairy industry will need to acquire an acute knack for recognizing opportunities abroad to capitalize on them, something it has never done before. Milk, of all commodities, is a tricky one. The average cow produces up to 30 litres per day; as a result, the logistics, branding and distribution efforts need to be seamlessly synchronized. There are very few cases in Canada where industries have clearly embraced the global marketing challenge over the years. The wine industry in Canada, however, has done quite well despite our domestic differences and strict regulatory framework, and even though competition in wines globally is unmerciful. Despite the fact that American wines have not been subject to import tariffs for several years as a result of the implementation of the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement, our wine industry is still thriving. Amongst major players in wine like the United States, France, Italy, Chile and Australia, the Canadian wine industry has become an internationally recognized producer in wines, fostering excellence while garnering an impressive list of major awards
on all continents. With rising systemic threats, the wine industry sought out better technologies while maintaining good practices and centering on quality. The industry committed to what it does best: low-to-mediumpriced table wines, mid-to-premiumpriced branded wines and, of course, ice wines. Vertical and horizontal integration, and higher production capacity now play a significant role in the industry’s persistence, doing it all almost without any subsidies. Even though it is always risky to make commodity-based comparisons, some valuable lessons in wine can be conceptually juxtaposed to what our dairy sector is about to face over the next few decades with more market access. In dairy, not-sogreat case studies are easy to find when making a paradigmatic shift from supplyfocused to outwardlooking management. Parts of Europe, such as France and the U.K., are reeling right now with the reality of ending its dairy quota system after a 13-year transition period. Opportunities to reconfigure dairy were clearly missed. When looking at competitiveness, difficult decisions are warranted. Some farmers just cannot and will not compete, full stop. With the diverse nature of our domestic market, hobby farms with fewer cows will always have a place in our economy, but a broader, more aggressive model cannot afford to financially support many of them, especially in Canada. Provisions ought to be made to encourage some to exit. In processing, farmer-owned cooperatives Agropur and
dairy giant Saputo, two companies that appeared to have hedged against the future supply management of late by investing internationally, now are poised to better support farmers in an open market. More innovation like we have seen with the Dairy Farmers of America which have just released a milkbased energy drink, with no caffeine, is likely to be leveraged by lower input costs. Dairy processing will likely gain from more market access which will eventually help Canadian farmers. Since consumers are increasingly concerned about where their food is coming from and that Canadian milk has currency in our country, processors will think twice before switching suppliers. But, to compete, dairies will need to think globally as well. New Zealand has an interesting model with its private marketing board, a dairy co-operative called Fonterra. Such an approach has made the country the largest dairy trading nation in the world, and has become the envy of many. With abrupt milk price fluctuations, of course Fonterra has had its highs and lows, but mostly highs. But New Zealand is not Canada by any stretch. Our climate and geographical disposition against the U.S. puts our dairy sector in a much weaker position. Additionally, unlike New Zealand, Canada is not even close to emerging markets like China, Indonesia and Malaysia. The fact that New Zealand now has its first trade deal with Canada under TPP is certainly not a problem for Canadian dairies. Many possibilities are now logistically within our grasp for but-

ter fat, milk powder and specialized products. Partnerships are desirable for the future, including international alliances. World-class processors in dairy and other sectors would be attracted to Canada for its ability to make unique, world-class milk. A solid campaign abroad is needed though. Since its inception more than 40 years ago, supply management has offered an interesting legacy. On the one hand, we have a crop of professional and resourceful producers who run efficient operations throughout the country. However, Canadian dairy farms are not as productive as their counterparts abroad, far from it. In fact, according to a recent German-based study, after Switzerland Canada’s average cost for milk production is the highest in the industrialized world. Costs in Canada to make 100kg of milk is $US72 versus $US35 in the United States. This is likely Canadian dairy’s biggest challenge. The gap needs to be narrowed and the only way to achieve higher levels of productivity is through economies of scale. Since we are just north of a Farm Bill-happy dairy sector, building competitiveness will be key to moving forward. Like the wine industry decades ago, Canada’s dairy industry has its share of cynical parties. Dairy farmers can compete, they just need to embrace the opportunity. D r.

One of the oldest clichés in agriculture might be that “research and innovation are the keys to our future”. But just because it is a cliché does not mean it is not true. The federal election is over and Canada has a new government. Three hindered thirty eight Members of Parliament will soon be headed to Ottawa to represent their constituents. Agriculture lobby groups from every region will be asking them to support research. But what kind of research should we be asking them to support? Should it be all public? How do producers’ check-off investments build upon renewed private interest in variety development? How we answer these questions will determine if Canada is going to be a leader in innovation or if we are going to be left behind. Let’s deal with the first question. Canada has a strong history of public investment in research and development. Marquis wheat and the first canola are just two examples of revolutionary innovations that came from public research. The economic returns to the public and the country have been enormous. But so have the returns to farmers, grain handlers, processors and everyone else involved in the value chain and we cannot expect the Canadian taxpayer to foot the whole bill for the next round of agriculturespecific innovation. Furthermore, trying to go down this path would mean that private investment goes to our competitors, putting Canadian agriculture at a disadvantage. We need a combination of private, public and producer investment in order to remain competitive. Continued public research is important, but this cannot be carried out in isolation. We need to do a better job of coordinating this work with private and producer investments to ensue funding from each source is complimentary. We will be worse off if tax dollars invested in research drives out private interest and investments are made in the U.S. or Australia instead of Canada. Funding sources should not be competing with each other. There are some recent good examples of public – private – producer partnerships. The agreement between CANTERRA SEEDS, the Alberta Wheat Commission and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is an example of how funders can work together to bring new innovation to farmers. How can the country maximize the impact of public research dollars while encouraging private companies to invest in Canada? A key step on the path to success must be clear strategic objectives for cereals research. What is Canada’s competitive advantage in the increasingly global cereals market? We need researchers and funders – both public and private – to come together to answer this question. The strategic vision for cereals research must consider the fact that there are two customers for innovation. Farmers must benefit from new varieties developed for Canadian growing conditions. If farmers don’t benefit, innovation will never make it to the field and investment will be lost. But farmers are not the only customer for innovation. Research and variety development must also take into account the needs of end use customers. What do customers want to buy from Canada? What are those unique quality characteristics from Canada that gain a premium from international millers? These are critical questions that need to be answered by all parts of the value chain. If public research is isolated from private and producer investment, Canada will not become the world’s centre for cereals research. Neither public nor private research will successfully increase the value of Canadian cereals production if the needs of both farmers and end use customers are not considered. Success will come when the public and private research fits seamlessly with Canada’s market development efforts. So what does this all mean for our newly elected federal politicians and agriculture’s requests for research funding? It is not good enough to just tell elected officials “you need to fund research”. Instead we need to present a clear strategic research plan that demonstrates public investment complimenting private and producer dollars and how this will drive Canada to the forefront of innovation and development. Instead of just saying “we need more money” we need to say “we have a plan, this is where governments fit and we need you to do your part.” Cam Dahl, President of Cereals Canada

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosis in Canadian women over age 20, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. Healthy lifestyle choices like a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity and avoidance of cigarettes and excessive alcohol are all important prevention steps. Early detection is also key in the fight against breast cancer, so be sure to perform a breast self-exam each month, and ask your doctor when to schedule mammograms and other screenings.

Standing Together in the Fight Against Breast Cancer Statistics indicate there will be more than 256,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in American and Canadian women this year, and breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women of both countries. Thanks to early detection and treatment advances, survival rates have improved dramatically, but much room for progress remains. As diagnosis and treatment options continue to evolve, medical experts agree that early detection is a key factor in overcoming the disease, and performing a monthly breast self-exam is often vital to detecting abnormalities, including lumps or tenderness, in the breasts that may indicate illness.

CT CONTRIBUTION – The Crossroads Credit Union in Canora has made a major contribution to the Health Foundation’s campaign for a new CT Scan at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. The Credit Union is donating $10,000 to the project. Linda Osachoff, CEO of Crossroads Credit Union (front right), says they recognize that the CT Scan is a regional machine, and will benefit the outlying communities as much as it benefits Yorkton residents. “We are part of a larger community, our members and ourselves utilize the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, so we do whatever we can to ensure that it offers the best service that it can.” Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation (front left) thanks the Crossroads Credit Union for their years of support, and says that the $10,000 will make a big difference and generate momentum.

Canadians have entrepreneurial spirit but what’s stopping them?
Over half of Canadians (57 per cent) are entrepreneurs at heart and have thought of owning their own business, according to a recent RBC Small Business survey. While one-third (36 per cent) of Canadians who have thought of owning a business have actually started one, 84 per cent of those who have not started a business say they would rather work for themselves than for someone else. “Entrepreneurs play a key role in our economy by creating jobs, stimulating growth and encouraging innovation and creativity,” says Sarah Adams, vice-president, Small Business, RBC. “They are the backbone of our economy so it’s important that we provide them with the advice and support so that they can compete and be successful.” For those who have not started their own business, the following were cited as top barriers: No capital/start-up money - 44 per cent Need steady/reliable income - 38 per cent Fear of failure - 29 per cent Did not know how to start - 28 per cent Millennials are aspiring entrepreneurs While two-thirds (67 per cent) of millennials (age 18-34) have thought of owning their own business, eightin-10 (78 per cent) had not started. What’s holding them back? In addition to lack of capital, 34 per cent did not know how to start and almost one-in-four (23 per cent) said they had too much debt, such as student loans. Nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit starts in childhood The survey also
found that respondents who thought of owning a business had been engaged in entrepreneurial activities as children, such as doing yard work (49 per cent), shoveling driveways (37 per cent), creating a lemonade stand (22 per cent), painting (22 percent), selling crafts that they had made (17 percent) and walking dogs/pet sitting (13 per cent). If there’s a will, there’s a way Of those who started their own business, 40 per cent saved their own money; 35 per cent started small or with a side business to test the waters; 28 per cent got moral or financial support from family/ friends; and 21 per cent contacted a financial institution/accountant/ lawyer. To help make your dream business come true, Adams suggests the following tips: Research your market. While it may be tempting to ask family and friends for input on your product or service, to truly understand if your idea is viable, it is best to talk to your target audience. And don’t forget to check out the competition to give you insight into the marketplace and the opportunities that might exist. Develop a business plan. The business plan is the most important document you need because it helps you to think through your business idea before you actually start your business. Think about what problem you will solve and your competitive advantage. Determine your financial needs. Assess your start-up costs and calculate how long it will take to breakeven. Explore govern-
ment grants and small business financing programs that help entrepreneurs get their business off the ground. Talk to a financial advisor about cash flow needs and consider an operating line of credit, business credit card or term loan. Seek advice from professionals and other business owners. Connect with experienced business owners who can serve as sounding boards for your ideas and ask for advice about starting your business. Explore industry/trade associations for networking opportunities, and consider contacting start-up incubators to see what support they could offer. About the Entrepreneur Poll The RBC Entrepreneur Poll was conducted by Ipsos Reid from July 7 to 10, 2015, through a national online survey of 1,005 adult Canadians. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/ - 3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all adult Canadians been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error. Continued on Page 13

Small business means local job creation
The growth of communities across Saskatchewan hinges on jobs. In Saskatchewan our population has grown
to 1.13 million people up 11,354 since 2014. People are moving west and to our province for opportunity and employment, and
small business continues to be one of the important drivers of the Yorkton community. As of September
YBID eager to help local business prosper Once again this is small business week in Saskatchewan. We no doubt will see an interesting four years ahead as a result of the federal election, and a provincial election to come early in 2016, will no doubt also have a significant effect on how small business operates into our future. The most important aspect for small business in our community is that we the residents of Yorkton stick by those local businesses. SHOP LOCAL should always be on our lips and we should encourage others to do so as well. It is small business that employees our friends, family & neighbours. It is small business which supports our local sports teams, school fund raisers, and it is small business which pays the bulk of taxes to our city allowing it to operate and grow. We all love to hear about large plants coming into our cities and towns and the jobs and money they bring,
that’s a good thing. But have you ever stopped and thought about those small businesses in our community who employ one to 10 people or maybe more. While the number sounds small, collectively they have more employees and contribute more dollars to the economy than almost any major employer, with the exception of maybe the health region. Our city of Yorkton was founded on small business. Small businesses which included a family of a father, mother and maybe one or two children. They ran the grocery store, the hardware store, lumber yard, and the blacksmith shop just to name a few. Locals supported those businesses and they grew, hiring one or two people and over time some grew into major employers. I mention the Morris Rod Weeder and George Morris whom I had the pleasure to meet when he was alive. A small business started in a garage in a rural area
of Yorkton. It grew into to what we know today as Morris Industries. A major employer and contributor to the Yorkton economy. So too was the story behind the Leon Brothers, Ray and his brother Leon Malinowski. A small company built from the ground up by two brothers which grew in to a successful worldwide supplier of farm equipment right here in Yorkton. This is what small business is all about. Starting small, maybe in a garage or a home based business, taking the risk associated with business, working hard growing and in the end being successful at what you do. Yorkton is full of such success stories. So let’s continue to shop local, supporting our mom and pop businesses whenever and however we can. If the Yorkton Business Improvement District can help, just ask. We love it when you shop local. - Phil DeVos YBID
30, 2015 the city of Yorkton had issued 1,147 business licenses for the year. Those businesses employ thousands of local residents and make a large contribution to the local and regional economy. Without the jobs created by entrepreneurs the city of Yorkton would not be the centre of commerce that is has grown to be with the third largest trading area in the province. Small business support our tax base, attract workers and
shoppers to our city and have helped define the community as a place to work and raise a family. The local business community supports many local projects and organizations, and without their financial contributions many events and charities would suffer. We wouldn’t be the vital city we are without their invaluable support. Saskatchewan has led the country with the lowest unemployment rate for two straight years at
5.1% and small business has played a big role in creating new job opportunities. While a small business might not command attention, as a group they are huge drivers of our local economy. City Council and our administration value their efforts in making Yorkton a destination for those looking to combine a job opportunity with a great place to live.

Small business critical to provincial economy Can you imagine what our province would be like if 98 per cent of the business community did not exist? Over 107,000 business doors would be closed and over 150,000 people would be without jobs. It’s small businesses that comprise 98% of Saskatchewan’s business community and they play a huge role in keeping the province’s economy thriving! A small business, as defined by Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Economy, is one that employs fewer than 50 people. Most often, a small business is operated by an independent owner – an individual or a family. Small businesses are often described as the “backbone of the community” by providing goods and services and jobs. Diane Helbig, an author and business and leadership development coach describes small businesses as “lean,
smart, complex – eternally entrepreneurial – not just small versions of big business.” In Yorkton, we have hundreds of examples of entrepreneurs such as owners of hair salons, construction companies, consulting companies, print shops, manufacturing companies, retail shops, restaurants, vehicle and equipment dealerships, aviation services and the list goes on. These small businesses are owned by our friends and neighbours who employ our friends and neighbours. And across the province, these small businesses contribute to 31% of the province’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Ministry of the Economy reports that the number of small businesses in the province has steadily increased between 2003 and 2013. Over 11,000 more small businesses exist in Saskatchewan in
2013 than in 2003! While big businesses may have more visibility in a community, the small businesses are establishing and growing. Jim Blasingame, an expert in small business and entrepreneurship, suggests “in the marketplace, small businesses are the face and voice of humanity, which provides them with a great advantage in the Age of the Customer.” As a result, it’s not likely we will see the demise of the small business sector any time in the near future. Small businesses are integral to the success of any community. On behalf of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, I salute our small businesses for the goods, services and jobs they provide to our community. May this Small Business Week be the beginning of another successful year for our small businesses. By Juanita Polegi Yorkton Chamber of Commerce
People make difference
Personally, I believe small-business people make huge personal and financial sacrifices, work long hard hours and take many risks to build a successful business to provide for their family and afford some personal freedom. Additionally, what they create strengthens the economy and provides employment and income opportunities for individuals and families within the local community. Typically, those same small business owners and employees are those who volunteer and donate their funds and precious personal time back to the community. Yorkton
has many fine examples of these described people. The provincial government, and I as the MLA for Yorkton, recognize and acknowledge the contribution small businesses make to our economy. Aside from jobs, small businesses are key to larger businesses and corporations’ success, because they provide important supplies and support which all contribute to our economy as a whole, whether it be agriculture, resources, manufacturing or retail, just to name a few. Additionally, small businesses contribute to provincial revenues through taxes which
helps the government deliver services and build infrastructure. They are an important partner in our government’s goal in growing and moving Saskatchewan forward. As a government, we work diligently to reduce barriers and create an environment where small businesses can thrive; we don’t always get it right, but strive for success, and we sincerely say thank you for the contribution the small business sector makes to Saskatchewan and Yorkton. — MLA Greg Ottenbreit

The Mask Messenger comes to Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Masks have been a part of entertainment for centuries, and remain a central part of the way people think of drama and the arts. Faustworks’ the Mask Messenger brought masks alive in different Yorkton schools, to entertain kids of all ages and teach a bit of history of the masks in the process. Chris Sigurdson stepped into the role of the Masked Messenger for Faustworks. While he has been performing with the company for just a year, they have been celebrating the art of the mask since 1983. Yorkton was the first stop in the Saskatchewan tour for the company, with 34 shows at the province’s schools. Sigurdson might be relatively new to Faustworks, but he’s been working with masks and making his own for 20 years. He was working in physical comedy and mime
before joining Faustworks, but says he has always wanted to do the Mask Messenger. “I met Faustworks Mask Theatre about twenty years ago, and they were doing a version of this show. I said if there was ever an opportunity for me to perform this show, let me know, and to finally do it after 20 years.” The chance to tour Saskatchewan has been a homecoming for Sigurdson, as he has lived here before, as have his parents in the past, so it was an added incentive to take the opportunity. The masks themselves are the stars of the show, and Sigurdson says that makes his job easier, because they have their own character and own personality before he puts them on. “A lot of the challenges are taken care of because the masks are so compelling... It is magic, to see one person perform all these different charac-
ters, and transform from one completely different character to another.” There were also teachers who volunteered to be part of the show as part of the finale, and Sigurdson congratulates them on being able to throw themselves into the roles. “For me, the real stars are the volunteers that got up, they were really fantastic and jumped into the characters fantastically... Your job as a performer is to look at the mask, connect to it, and then transform your body so it is embodying what the mask maker has put into the mask.” As a performer, Sigurdson says that everyone goes through the same process, as they find the character in the mask, something that he says doesn’t come immediately even for a mask maker. “For me, they’re like instruments. A guitar player will play a guitar has a certain timbre to it and a cer-
tain liveliness to it. When someone else has made a mask it resonates in its own kind of way. When I make a mask, I don’t know what that character is until I put it on, learn about it and study it.” Performing for elementary schools like Yorkdale, M.C. Knoll and St. Paul’s can be a challenge, Sigurdson says, because you have to be able to entertain a wide range of students, and kids from K-8 are very different. “It’s a challenge to find the right balance. You want to entertain the older kids but you don’t want to freak out the young ones.” The tour of the province is put together by OSAC, with two of the Yorkton performances sponsored by the Yorkton Arts Council. To n i a Vermette with the Yorkton Arts Council says that they are sponsoring the shows to encourage schools to get back involved in live theatre, and bring it to a larger audience.
Early Morning Astronomy If you’re out some evening for the next week or so, you’re quite likely to notice the Moon which will be brightening each evening until Full Moon on the 27th. This is the time of the month when it pretty much washes out the other stuff in the sky, and a chance for astronomers everywhere to catch up on their sleep, except for those who specialize in planets. In the pre-dawn, three of the four morning planets are showing off again for anyone who happens to be up between 4 and 6 am. I did happen to catch a glimpse last weekend as Mars was passing just over Jupiter. Someone looking this Thursday/ Friday will see a nice line of Mars, Jupiter and Venus, in that order, left to right. Venus has turned on the jets and is now rapidly moving to the east. On the 25th, it will zip just one degree (a thumb width) below Jupiter. Monday, October 26th, is the closest this group will get together, and is the last time until January of 2021 that a nice planetary trio like
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. this will be visible. In a week, Venus will catch up to Mars, and even the Moon will get in on the act before the morning planets go their own separate ways. Planetary alignments such as this, called ‘conjunctions’ by those who like to use big words, are not necessarily times when planets are close together. Astronomical conjunctions (extra points for two big words together) are a chance alignment of objects usually
nowhere near other in space.

Venus is currently 100 million kilometers closer to the Sun than we are, and Mars and Jupiter are way heck and gone on the other side of the Sun, at 340 million and 900 million kilometers respectively. Yet, on October 25th, you would put off going back to bed ‘cause it looks like there’s a chance that Venus is going to smack Jupiter a good one. This is aided by the fact that humans

Shedding light on First Nations culture “Metis and the Medicine Line: Creating a Border and Dividing a People” by Michel Hogue. Published by University of Regina Press Review by Keith Foster $34.95 ISBN 9780889773806 On the open prairies in the 1870s, one could look to the horizon without seeing any distinguishing features. Yet here was the border – an invisible boundary along the forty-ninth parallel – dividing the United States and Canada. The job of the North American Boundary Commission was to make the invisible border visible. They did this by building mounds of sod placed three miles apart – surely
a ludicrous situation since anyone standing beside a mound would barely be able to see the next mound even on a clear day. Although “First Nations” doesn’t actually appear in the title of Metis and the Medicine Line: Creating a Border and Dividing a People the book devotes substantial space to their issues as well. Author Michel Hogue sheds light on both Metis and First Nations people and their culture. As the subtitle suggests, the Medicine Line divided not only the two countries, but also the people living there. Hogue points out that Metis and First Nations people were well aware of the power and legal ramifications of the Medicine
Line – that no matter what they had done south of the border, they would be safe north of the line. Thus after the Lakota wiped out General George Custer’s Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Chief Sitting Bull, fleeing the vengeful American Army, brought his Lakota to the Canadian prairies. The Canadian government allowed them to stay north of the border as long as they obeyed the laws of the land, but refused to provide food or supplies. Instead, the government let “hunger do its work” in a region with a growing population of hunters and a dwindling supply of buffalo. The position of the Canadian government, Hogue states, was “calcu-
lated to drive the Lakota out of Canadian territory, using starvation – rather than rifles – as the mode of violence.” As the Canadian and American prairies developed, fluidity at the border was restricted. Metis and First Nations people lost many of their rights by crossing the border. Once they moved across, they were subject to new laws and not allowed to return to their previous status. Hogue examines the impact of Prairie leaders like Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, and lesser-known heroes like Jean-Louis Légaré and Antoine Oullette. Dumont wanted a treaty like the one Riel had negotiated with the
Canadian government at the Red River settlement in 1870. While living in Montana as an American citizen, Riel petitioned the American government to establish a Metis reserve, but his request was denied. Metis and the Medicine Line has a bibliography, endnotes, index, three maps, and seventeen black and white photos or illustrations. A useful aspect of this 328-page book is a map outlining the areas covered by the various numbered treaties. Hogue does an admirable job of sifting through archival sources to weave a comprehensive, cohesive, and coherent story. In examining the complex world of Metis and
Aboriginal societies, Hogue’s Metis and the Medicine Line adds greater depth to our knowledge and understanding of Metis people and their culture. This book is available at your local bookstore or from www.Skbooks.Com
A gardener’s impressions of Ireland Late last month saw me and a group of likeminded gardeners touring through Ireland. Whether arriving by air or driving through the countryside, we were, like most visitors, immediately struck by the greenness. It is, after all, the ‘Emerald Isle’. Locals told us that they had had “no summer – just rain and cloudy periods.” Fortunately we picked a great time to visit: beautiful weather with mostly sunny skies and only two days of intermittent showers. In general, Ireland’s mild climate is influenced by the Gulf Stream and hard frosts are infrequent. The gardens we viewed were surprisingly full of colour for the time of year – annuals, bulbs, perennials, flowering shrubs, and just the faint beginnings of autumn shades. Many of the plants are familiar to prairie gardeners, others less so. The site of a Scots pine in close proximity to a tropical palm or tree fern was a bit disconcerting, but we got used to it! Of the shrubs, the most spectacular were the hydrangeas and fuchsias. Both were enormous by our standards – up to 6
feet tall by 8 feet wide. The hydrangeas were in glorious shades of white, pink, blue, and deep red, often with a two-toned effect comprised of recent and older blooms. A blue “lace-cap” type hydrangea was among my favourites. In Canada, our prevailing image of a fuchsia is of cascading branches and masses of multicolour blooms in hanging baskets – a type developed by plant breeders in California and the Netherlands. Not so in Ireland. First introduced from Chile over a century ago, Fuchsia megellanica is a shrub planted in the hedgerows of western Ireland and in full bloom well into the fall. While pollinated by hummingbirds in South America, in Ireland, insects do the job. Fuchsias long ago escaped from the hedgerows and are seen along roads and paths. Also in evidence in the hedgerows were rose hips, red hawthorn berries (Crataegus monogyna) and the dark blue “sloes” of black thorn (Prunus spinosa) used to flavor sloe gin. Japanese maples, sumac, and chestnuts were beginning to colour the autumn with their fall

reds, oranges and yellows. And we saw many ginkgos, one of my late colleague, Brian Baldwin’s favourite trees. Roses were blooming in almost every garden we visited. The brilliant orange montbretia (Crocosmia x crocosmiflora) was in flower in many of the gardens, from the walled garden of the large formal Powerscourt estate to small cottage gardens. Considered a tender “summer bulb” (actually a corm) in Saskatchewan, it has naturalized widely throughout Ireland and is a familiar sight along country lanes and waterways, blooming from July through September. A monocot related to gladiola and crocus, monbretia is a hybrid of two South African species. Other late blooming perennials were Heliopsis
(false sunflower), catnip, sedums, a variety of ornamental grasses, yarrow, tansy, goldenrod, absolutely enormous clumps of Joe Pye weed (a North American native), Cimicifugia ‘Brunette’, dwarf fleeceflower (Persicaria affinis), Verbena bonariensis, Russian sage, phlox and monkshood. Delphinums were at the height of their second bloom in Helen Dillon’s Dublin garden. Dahlias were everywhere just as they had been in Monet’s garden in Giverny in late fall. They were in such variety and so glorious that I’m sorely tempted to go through the planting, lifting, storing and replanting cycle I’ve avoided for decades! Autumn crocus
(Colchicum autumnale) was just popping up in beds and in lawns. Among the familiar annuals were nasturtiums and ornamental kales. And we all had to chuckle when one of the garden owners proudly introduced us to an “exotic” shrub from Siberia of about five feet in height with bright yellow pealike flowers and small pinnate leaves– our own caragana!

Jane, 43, is a beautiful, sweet girl who is a nurse and looking for the right man. Jane has never been married and has no children. She loves football, hockey, going to concerts, and being outdoors. She is very down to earth, and easy to get along with. Jane does not drink or smoke. She is not one to go to bars, and she has had a hard time meeting the right person in her small community. She is always up to try new things and open to new experiences. Jane is a bit shy at first, and she is nervous about dating, but really wants to meet the right person to settle down with. She is very open and accepting of people, she’s very non-judgmental, and cares more about who someone is on the inside rather than on the outside. She is looking for a good man who is energetic, fun, adventurous, has a good sense of humor, down-to-earth, and a little bit romantic.
