Influenza vaccination program begins By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Right now, everyone in the Sunrise Health Region is able to receive their influenza immunization for the upcoming season. The health region recently launched the flu shot program, and this year they want to see everyone in Yorkton and area immunized. Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu, Medical Health Officer for the Sunrise Health Region, says that it’s important for people to get immunized against the disease, because it can cause complications and even death in anyone who contracts it. “Influenza immunization is the best way of preventing influenza.” The biggest risk groups for the disease are children under 5, people over 65, people with chronic diseases or immune problems, or pregnant women, Nsungu says. These are the groups that need to prioritize getting immunized, though Nsungu says everyone should be getting their vaccination. “I know that people sometimes say they are healthy, and they don’t think they need the vaccine. That’s a misconception, aside from the fact that anyone can become sick from influenza the thing that we have to realize too is that as a healthy person you may have the disease without having signs or symptoms, without
it being a big problem for you. It’s possible still to transmit that infection to somebody who is very much at risk and that person could end up with very serious complication... If you vaccinate as many people as possible, you get the conditions to break that chain of transmission of the virus in the community.” The Sunrise Health Region has enough supply of vaccine to cover the entire region, Nsungu says. “Last year we had a shortage that was resolved later in the season, but this year actually the ministry has ordered more vaccine.” This year the theme of the program is getting people to get their immunization as soon as possible. Part of the reason, Nsungu says, is that it can be difficult to meet demand if there is a sudden uptake in vaccination late in the season, but also because it makes sense to get it out of the way and get people protected from the disease as soon as they are able. “Don’t wait, because we know that the influenza virus is unpredictable. Though we know that the influenza season usually starts towards the end of November, it can start at anytime. That’s the reason why everyone should not wait, they should come as soon as possible.” The vaccination itself is free to anyone who wants it, and clinics will run into December.
INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION CLINICS have begun in the Sunrise Health Region. Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu, Medical Health Officer for the Sunrise Health Region, says that everyone should get immunized as soon as they can, and he is no exception, pictured getting his above.
Chamber of Commerce revises boundaries By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The city of Yorkton of today would be completely unrecognizable to the Chamber of Commerce of 1898, but that is the last time that the Chamber of Commerce’s boundaries have been revised. The Chamber of Commerce is now in the process of revising the boundaries. The revision was prompted by communications from Corporations Canada and Industry Canada, who asked the Chamber if the records
on file were still the boundaries of the chamber says Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. “In 1898 it was the village of Yorkton and of course now it’s a city, and the city itself has grown beyond those boundaries. So we’re in the process of getting input from our members.” Polegi says that people from outside of Yorkton can be members of the local Chamber of Commerce, and she notes that there are currently members from places beyond the borders such as
Regina. The boundaries affect the area where the chamber covers, but members can
Boundaries were last defined 116 years ago, when the Chamber of Commerce was founded come from elsewhere. Polegi says that Corporations and Industry
Canada have been extremely helpful and accommodating during the process, and she has nothing but praise for their help in updating the boundaries and the records. It has still been a challenge, because the chamber has been working with records that are so old. “We have had to engage the services of Prairie Mapping Services to help us create a map that will enable us to put these boundaries in... We’ve certainly required some assistance in this.” The current board is defining the new boundaries of the
chamber as the City of Yorkton and the provincial electoral district of Yorkton and Townships 23 to 27 inclusive in Ranges 3 and 4 West of the Second Meridian. The initial boundaries laid out 116 years ago were the Village of Yorkton and the electoral district of Yorkton and Townships 23 to 27 in Range 3 West of the Second Meridian. If members have any objections to the new boundaries, Polegi says they will need to contact the Chamber of Commerce before November 16.

Bus for Seniors
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
It will soon be much easier for residents of the Yorkton and District Nursing Home to get around. The Kinsmen Foundation has come through with the final piece of the puzzle for funding the purchase of a
new bus, donating $40,000 to The Health Foundation for the vehicle. The priority of the Kinsmen is to help people who can’t help themselves says David Johnson, Yorkton Kinsmen President, so the decision to support the bus was an easy one.

One piano, four hands, great music By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A playwright tells a story through words, and a musician does through song. The Fung-Chiu Duo’s Prairie Debut tour will see Janelle Fung and Phil Chiu take on songs inspired by one of the English language’s greats, Shakespeare. The duo plays in the one piano, four hands style, and Chiu says this allows them to take a diverse number songs. He says that piano is one of the most diverse instruments you can play, and their concert explores the depth of the instrument. “We take some well known and sometimes non-standard classical works, and we arrange them for this unique one piano, four hands thing. We also play some of the best of classical music as well.” The show is built around music inspired by Shakespeare, and Chiu says it’s because music and theatre have the same goal, to connect to people’s emotions. “When I think about my first Shakespeare experiences, I was really lost by the language, and I didn’t understand the
point of it. But then I saw this one performance... Christopher Plummer had come out to do King Lear... It was really eye opening, to realize that once you get enough of the language it’s not about the language but about the emotions behind it. Shakespeare wrote in such a way that you couldn’t deny that he understood humans and what we feel. The connection between that and music is so appropriate, people are scared of classical music because the language is unfamiliar, but once you get enough of the language and once you get through that crack of the door, it’s really about the emotions behind it.” The duo got together when they met in Montreal for school. Saying they initially “got bored of studying,” they began to work on projects together and playing together. “To be able to share the stage and share a bench is quite a lot of fun if you get along and have good chemistry.” Connecting with the audience is one of the priorities of the duo, and Chiu says that their concerts are not a stereotyp-
ical classical performance. They want to interact, speak to people, answer their questions, and have a dialog between them and the people in the theatre. “As a performer, it’s so important to know the audience is really on board with you.” This tour is part of Prairie Debut, and Chiu says he’s known about the program since Executive Director Lynne Bailey did a lecture to one of his classes. He said he kept it in mind as he began his career, and applied at her suggestion. He’s grateful to now have the opportunity to tour the prairies. “We’re really lucky in Canada, it is such a unique thing to have this kind of organization that does so much for young Canadian artists.” While Chiu has been to the province before, Fung has not, and he says they’re excited to be visiting the province and taking the tour to places where they have never been before. “We find that people who come to concerts in smaller towns and smaller cities come because they are really interested and really love and are really open.”
THE FUNG-CHIU DUO is Janelle Fung and Phil Chiu, and they will be in Yorkton on November 1 with their one piano, four hands performance. The Fung-Chiu Duo’s One Piano Four Hands concert, presented by Prairie Debut as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series, will take place on November 1 at the Ann Portnuff Theatre.

New CEO for provincial tourism
Tourism Saskatchewan’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Mary Taylor-Ash to the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately. She has held the position of interim CEO since June 2014. Taylor-Ash joined the organization in 2013 as Executive Director of Marketing and Communications. Prior to her arrival, she was the Assistant Deputy Minister of Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador, where she was responsible for tourism marketing, product development and tourism research. Under her leadership, the province embarked on a compre-
hensive tourism planning process that resulted in a 10-year vision for tourism. Newfoundland and Labrador’s tourism marketing campaign has been one of the most recognized and successful marketing campaigns in the country. As Tourism Saskatche wan’s Executive Director of Marketing and Communications, Taylor-Ash played a pivotal role in the strategic planning process completed in 2013. “Tourism is an important industry that contributes much to Saskatchewan’s strong economy and our quality of life,” Minister Responsible for Tourism
Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “Tourism Saskatchewan is in very capable hands under the leadership of Mary Taylor-Ash. She is an influential champion for tourism in the province.” “Mary has earned the respect of the board of
directors, staff and industry,” Tourism Saskatchewan Board of Directors Chair Norm Beug said. “She brings impressive knowledge and experience to her work and is a valuable asset to the organization and the tourism sector.

WTO ruling is good for Canada This week the World Trade Organization (WTO) Compliance Panel made public its report regarding U.S. mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL), confirming that Canada has won another important and decisive victory at the WTO on COOL. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) welcomed the Panel report as it unequivocally supports Canada’s position that the U.S. amendments to the COOL regulation continue the discrimination against live imports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. marketplace. This latest ruling once again confirms that the U.S. mandatory COOL rules unfairly discriminate against Canadian cattle and hog export COOL adds substantial costs to the integrated North American meat and livestock industry while providing no meaningful benefit to consumers. It also prevents U.S. processors from co-mingling U.S. beef and pork with meat from Canadian cattle and hogs resulting in the need to segregate livestock. Segregation adds higher costs for companies using livestock born or raised outside of the U.S. along with additional costs for producers. Consumers are also impacted through higher meat prices. The ruling released this is a positive step for Saskatchewan producers. The next step in the WTO process will be adoption of the report at a meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). Adoption of the report, which can be delayed only by a U.S. appeal, would trigger Canada’s rights to compensation or retaliation. If the U.S. files an appeal and Canada once again wins, Canada would be authorized to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports. The impact of COOL on the combined Canadian cattle and hog sectors was estimated in 2012 to be over one billion dollars. Although the impact has increased since the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) amended the regulation in 2013. “The compliance panel report leaves no shadow of a doubt that the U.S. COOL legislation is causing discrimination against live imports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. marketplace,” said Canadian Cattlemen Association President Dave Solverson. “Until COOL comes into compliance with the WTO, the CCA will continue to insist that the Government of Canada prepare to impose prohibitively high tariffs on key U.S. exports to Canada, including beef.” The CCA will continue to work with the Government of Canada to prepare to impose tariffs on U.S. exports selected from a list of targeted commodities released in June 2013. COOL is a protectionist measure that hurts producers and negatively affects the entire supply chain on both sides of the border and it should be scrapped.
First Nations tax has merit
With the recent implementation of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA), this may be an excellent opportunity to raise another issue of contention— that of First Nations taxation. If First Nations governments were to tax their reserve base and incorporate the revenues into their annual budget, band members could have a chance to experience measurable improvements in their quality of life and governance. Over the past several years, First Nations have increasingly been afforded more opportunities to create their own independent on-reserve tax base. You can count among these opportunities real property taxation, various forms of sales and good taxes, user-fees, provincial-type taxes, and personal income taxes (which is currently exclusive to groups with a self-government agreement). The Institute on Governance (IGO) has found that there are clear benefits to First Nations taxation, including providing funds for First Nations projects, and enhancing service delivery and economic development. Furthermore, citizen participation, transparency, accountability, and performance have also been found to increase within First Nations’ communities that possess taxation. In a separate report, the IGO concluded, “Even for the poorest of jurisdictions, to achieve accountability, their citizens should be responsible for at least some of the costs of the services provided for them.” As a result, band members on all First Nations communities—poor or rich, big or small—should contribute a small portion to the revenue of their local government. Doing so gives them a personal, financial stake in their government’s performance, and with that stake some grounds on which to hold their gov-
ernment to account. Even in terms of revenue the benefits of taxation should not be discounted for those First Nations in which their small population or land base may make taxation seem like a pointless endeavor. In many cases the collection of taxes by First Nations can be used to secure long term financing from other sources. For example, the First Nations Tax Commission – a First Nations public institution –emphasizes how First Nations can “lever their property tax revenues to access long term capital financing,” which can often be used to undertake projects or pursue other initiatives that would otherwise be unavailable or more difficult to obtain. While the idea of First Nations taxation does not conjure up positive feelings in the minds of many First Nations people, the reality is that taxation has already begun to be embraced by many First Nations governments. Almost 35 per cent of First Nations in Canada have implemented at least one of the aforementioned types of taxation available within their reserve community. Disappointingly, no comprehensive studies have been performed to calculate how much money could be raised if First Nations were to implement a comprehensive system of taxation. When contemplating First Nations taxation it is not only the revenue raised that should be taken into consideration; it’s the dependency on band members that it creates for First Nations governments. Taxation will act to advance the self-government goals of First Nations, as well as increasing the quality of life and governance for band members, as they would be creating a mechanism to increase the accountability of their local government and politicians.
Florida is not the best habitat for the Panthers While I can admit upfront that I’m not a hockey fan, I would like to think I can grasp some basic concepts about the sport. For example, even if I do not understand the nuances inherent in putting together a winning team, I do know that at a bare minimum getting people to show up for your games is a necessity. As a result, I can see that the Florida Panthers are in dire straits, because the NHL team is struggling to get anyone to show up at the arena. Just over seven thousand people showed up for a recent game against the Ottawa Senators. For reference, more fans turn out for the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen, and that’s not an NHL team. The trick is you have to give people a reason to attend your games even if you’re awful. The Toronto Maple Leafs, for example, were recently named the worst professional sports team in North America, and yet they still pull numbers that are significantly better than the Panthers can manage. Whatever you think of the idea of the Maple Leafs being the worst, they’re still in a good place for hockey, because Toronto cares about the sport in general and the team in their city in particular. It has a loyal fanbase that turns out for games, whether or not the team is winning, and that’s what a team needs to maintain a franchise, a foundation of fans who care about it.
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger The Panthers are going to have difficulty filling stadiums because it’s just not situated well for sport. One can always put the blame on it being a sunshine state trying to host a cold weather game, but even sports that are generally well suited for the sun – baseball and football, for example – struggle to put people in seats in the southern part of the state, though football is doing okay this year. The Panthers are going up not against a weather disconnect, but a part of the world where pro sports are just not a priority for any of the people who actually live there. Which is not to say all sports teams in Florida are doomed. After all, the Tampa Bay Lightning get respectable attendance for their games, and they’re
also in Florida. But that’s the real problem with the Panthers, if you’re going to support a team in Florida, why wouldn’t you go to the one that actually wins games? It might be less convenient for some people to support Tampa Bay, but for the small section of Florida that watches hockey, it promises a better representation of the sport. So what should be done about the Panthers? Well the obvious solution is to relocate them somewhere, though the NHL does traditionally try to avoid that. Plenty of places have been floated as potential relocation sites, including Saskatoon. While I don’t know if Saskatoon has the patience to stick with a team that has not done well in a long time – the Blades have always had highly variable attendance – it’s at least a place that has more potential support than south Florida. At the very least, Canadian cities are a more compelling choice than Miami. The ideal location for the team is one that wants hockey, but is not currently well served for it. There are plenty of places in the more northern part of the continent that would be happy to have a team, and give it a loyal foundation until they can get on their feet and start building a franchise. If Canada can keep the “worst team in professional sports” alive, we can be a Panther sanctuary too.

Aging population is concerning
Avoiding Iraq best for Canadians
To the Editor:
An update on Canada’s demographic future from Statistics Canada confirms what is readily discernable through casual observation: our population is growing modestly and becoming greyer at an accelerating pace. Under three different scenarios modelled by Statistics Canada’s researchers slow growth, medium growth and high growth - the country’s population is on track to exceed 40 million by 2063 (up from 35.2 million in 2013). The slow-growth scenario puts the population at 40 million in 50 years’ time. Under the mediumgrowth scenario, the population reaches 51 million in 2063. And a high-growth scenario sees the number of Canadians swelling to 63.5 million. The scenarios differ in their assumptions about future immigration levels, fertility rates and longevity. For planning purposes, the most sensible approach is to use the medium-growth scenario, which points to a national population of roughly 50 million a half century from now. In all scenarios, the proportions of senior citizens within the population - defined as people aged 65 and over - edges higher. From 15.3 per cent today, the ranks of Canadian seniors will expand to comprise 22 to 24 per cent of the popula-
tion by the early 2030s. A smaller working age population, coupled with a relatively larger number of elderly “dependents” as the large babyboom generation moves into retirement, will lead to slower economic growth in the future at the same time as society faces added fiscal stress from an aging demographic. As noted in a recent report from the
today to more than 40 by 2030. Because British Columbia will be home to proportionately more seniors than most other provinces, healthcare and other aging-related costs can be expected to come under stronger upward pressure here. Two conclusions follow from the above. First, we need to start preparing today for a different demographic future, one
Ways must be found to encourage more people to stay in the workforce beyond the “normal” retirement age of 63 or 65. C.D. Howe Institute, the escalating cost of providing long-term care to frail seniors is one area where aging-related costs are set to rise dramatically. For British Columbia, the province’s population increases and ages under all of the scenarios modelled by Statistics Canada. By the late 2030s, B.C. is expected to have between 5.2 and 6.7 million people, up from 4.6 million today. The share of the population aged 65 and over is projected to increase to 24 to 27 per cent by the end of the 2030s, up significantly from today’s level and higher than the Canadian average. According to B.C. government forecasts, the province’s “elderly dependency ratio” - the population aged 65 and over as a share of that aged 18 to 64 - will climb from 26
that provides less impetus for economic growth. There are things that can be done to mitigate the growth-inhibiting consequences of population aging. Ways must be found to encourage more people to stay in the workforce beyond the “normal” retirement age of 63 or 65. There is still some room to boost labour force participation rates among women, and lots of scope to do the same with the aboriginal population. It is important to ensure that new immigrants quickly transition into the workforce after they arrive. And as the median voter gets older and consumes a greater volume of health services, it is crucial that policy-makers not succumb to the temptation to shortchange investments in education and skills development aimed at
equipping young people with the knowledge and tools needed to build a more productive economy. Second, the existing system of federal-provincial transfer programs requires a fresh look, given the Canada’s shifting demographic backdrop. For example, the B.C. government should be pressing Ottawa to modify the formula used to calculate federal transfers for healthcare in order to account for the higher per capita costs incurred by provinces with larger concentrations of older residents. More generally, as emphasized by the Parliamentary Budget Office, the fiscal impacts of an aging population differ between the two main levels of government. While the federal government’s long-term financial position looks favourable, that is not the case for the provinces, which bear more of the costs stemming from burgeoning number of retirees. It is in all of the provinces’ interests to collaborate to persuade Ottawa to assume more of the economic and fiscal burden that is destined to come as the population ages and Canada’s potential economic growth rate gently but inevitably declines.

How we purchase food is changing To the Editor: For decades, Canadian consumers have been accustomed to the traditional grocery store where you purchase most of your groceries under one roof once a week or every other week. That model, which emerged in the 1960s, is under serious threat now and may signal the end of the grocery store. A few key metrics are telling us that the days of the typical grocery store are numbered. Take Loblaw for example. A good portion of Loblaw’s business, Canada’s current No.1 food retailer, is now related to nonfood products. Of course, Loblaw rocked the food retailing world last year by purchasing Shoppers Drug Mart for over $12 billion. With this act of brilliance, Loblaw acquired cheap real estate and thereby allowed its major labels like President’s Choice to reach out to urbanites longing for convenience, healthy food choices, and loyalty points. At the same time, consumers will now find sushi and fresh nicoise salad next to medication and makeup. Loblaw is even exploring the idea of a drive-through shopping experience. Loblaw has been quite active in reinventing itself for one reason: Walmart. Because of Walmart’s spectacular ascent in the food retailing world, everyone else must adjust. With its supercentres, the company now
has close to 10 per cent of the Canadian market and is striving to become the No.1 food retailer not only in America where it has held the top spot for years. And in all honesty, numbers are making it difficult to bet against Walmart’s odds these days. Online shopping is also another legitimate menace to the traditional grocery store. The virtual world is a channel being exploited by some very important players, particularly south of the border. Amazon, which has tremendous clout in the e-commerce space, has a growing interest in food e-retailing. In fact, it is gaining market share in Los Angeles and San Francisco and may run more pilots in other countries, such as Canada. With our greying population, harsh winters, and increasingly demanding work schedules, online shopping is slowly making a case for itself. Above all of this is the twoheaded monster all food retailers will need to cope with in the future. On the one hand, boomers are slowly retiring with fixed income and depressed pensions. They will be looking for affordable prices as much as they can. On the other hand, millennials who are becoming increasingly influential link social values to food more than their predecessors do: organics, fair trade, local foods - all are important to them. Farmers markets, known for high price points, are break-
ing records in sales across the country despite rising food prices in stores. As a result, food demand is becoming more fragmented, which makes consumer behaviours more challenging to anticipate. Food retailers will admit that not every grocery store is equal and most adapt to local needs. Since customization will become an important driver moving forward, specialty stores, once written off by many, may have a future after all. Ethnicity and food trends are game changers as well. Many observers predict that 70 per cent of consumer spending growth will come from visible minorities over the next decade. Ethnic and gluten-free products are becoming better and tastier, pleasing growing segments of the market place. But what is trendy one day may not be tomorrow, making it challenging for the food industry to recognize which innovative features have currency. For the foreseeable future, large grocery stores will continue to exist, but their numbers will drop significantly. Unlike the 1960s when one model dominated the market, we will soon see many successful strategies emerge to feed Canadians.

To the Editor: Pay Attention to criticisms coming from all directions, including some high profile veteran liberals. The official Liberal and N.A.P. position in the House of Commons is the correct one. Canada should decline any direct involvement in the present hostilities in Iraq and Syria. It would have been foolish and wrong headed for us to have followed George Bush in his campaign to dislodge Saddam Hussein. It is even more fool hardy to follow some of our Nato friends back into Iraq and Syria in 2014. The Bush administration with the best of intentions, led their country into a fruitless and very costly adventure in Iraq. The one positive thing you can say about Bush is that he was all in. Boots on he ground. He did not pretend otherwise. The fundamental weakness with the present adventure is that its advocated pretend that you can go to war half way. It is not possible any more than you can go for a swim and not get wet. You are either in or out. Canadians have nothing to prove to anyone regarding our willingness to stand up and be counted. We were all in World War I, three years before our friends south of the border showed up. We were all in, in World War II, two years before our friends to the south showed up. Canadians of all political stripes willingly sacrificed blood, tears, and treasure in both of these wars and others including Afghanistan. We have nothing to prove to our nato friends or to Mr. Harper and Mr. Bairn. The present venture is sill-advanced to the point of being fooled hardy. How will we know when to stop the bombing? When we do – what then? It is quite likely that after a couple of years that the situation will be even worse than it is now. 1. Constant images of casualties (men, women, and children) will be plastered over the airways. These casualties will be an inevitable result of aerial attacks against military targets concealed among civilian installations. 2. There will be images of thousands more refuges. Now some of the will be fleeing alien bombing runs as well as ISIS atrocities. 3. The bombing will certainly increase the local support for ISIS. It will be even more firmly established in Iraq. 4 .The Assan regime in Syria will be strengthened because of the wakening of some their opposition at home and because of a ground swell of hatred in Syria for those mending outsiders from the west with their airplanes and their bomb. 5. Even the arming of the Kurds has to be viewed with a jaundiced eye. Will these arms and trained operators end up being used against us rather than our adversaries? That is certainly what happened to the sophisticated military it hardware and training provided by the Americans to the Iraq army. Much of that hardware is now in the hands of ISIS Again the question is if and when the bombing has proven counter productive, what next? 1. Will we decide to go back home and let the people in the area sort things out as best they can? Will we fold our tents and silently steal away. 2. Will our leaders decide to put boots on the ground again and try to sort things out with a full scale invasion? Canadians will then be involved in Iraq we were in Afghanistan. Let me be perfectly clear. I have ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren. I do not want one of them to be sent by their government into a gorilla war in the middle east where you cannot tell friend from foe. Marching off to war in a uniform that clearly sets you apart from the rest of the population For heavens sake let us not exhaust our money and energy on some wild eyed bombing venture that can only send even more innocent men, women, and children on the run. Doug Cowling Yorkton, Sask.

Leave your phone off New driver August Becker leaves his cellphone alone every time he drives. “You just shouldn’t text and drive, it’s a stupid thing to do. I put my cellphone in my pocket where I can’t get at it to make sure it doesn’t come out,” said Becker, 16, who received his driver’s licence two months ago. National Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct. 19 – 25, aims to help more teens think like Becker. Organized by Parachute Canada, a national injury prevention organization, the week focuses on increasing teen driver safety awareness, safe driving choices and habits. That includes things like putting away cellphones, driving sober, wearing seatbelts and not speeding. All good habits that Becker is glad he adopted, and encourages

Or you could get hurt,” said Becker. Becker’s concerns are valid. Teen drivers have higher fatality, injury and collision rates. Last year, 15 drivers 19 years old and younger died in

Education week marked
Education Minister Don Morgan was in Moose Jaw on October 22 to kick off Education Week by celebrating local successes in the Prairie South School Division (PSSD). Education Week runs October 19 to 25 and the theme, “Supporting and Celebrating Success”, will once again give communities, teachers, students, parents and caregivers the opportunity to recognize the great work taking place in Saskatchewan schools. “I’d like to thank teachers and staff across the province for the work they do to help our students succeed,” Morgan said. “Each and every school in our province has incredible stories to tell, and I’d like to encourage everyone to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on these successes.” PSSD’s Practical and Applied Arts program provides career development opportunities for students and provides
valuable hands-on training that is applicable to real life careers in today’s workplace. From agriculture to welding to power engineering, students gain exposure to a variety of skills needed to identify their future career path. There are fourteen partners involved in this collaboration, including: Ministry of Agriculture, South County Equipment, Saskatoon Industry and Education Council, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, SaskTel, SaskPower, Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Safety Council, Safe Saskatchewan, Workers’ Compensation Board, Safety Hutch, AcklandsGrainger, Rural Municipality of Mankota and Information and Communications Technology Council. “Part of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth is educating, training and developing a skilled workforce,” Morgan said. “This pro-
gram helps engage students in their learning and gives them exposure to a variety of possible career paths to explore their future options so they’re better prepared for their futures.” “The project, and these partnerships, will narrow the gap of inequities found in Practical and Applied Art credit and certifications programs in all Prairie South high schools, ensuring our students receive the information, education and experience needed to find a career they are passionate about,” Prairie South School Division Board Chair Dr. Shawn Davidson said. Activities in schools across the province are held to highlight the achievements of students and commend the work of education professionals. Success stories from students, parents and teachers will be shared throughout the week on the Student First Blog at www.studentfirstsk.com/

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Marion asked me to look after the turkeys yesterday morning, as she was in a rush to get to work. My chore would be to make sure they had water and feed, and she also asked me to open the chicken coop door to let them out so they could wander around in the yard. I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, and ventured out to do the turkey chores. After topping up their feed and water, I let them out to do their exploration of the yard, and went back to my office to finish off a fairy tale that I had started writing for my granddaughter Casey. I went to check on the turkeys about two hours later, but they were nowhere to be found in the yard, or the paddock, or the gardens by the house, and I was getting a bit concerned. Then I saw a quick flash of white feathers way down in the driveway. I hurried to put on a jacket, and headed down the driveway after them, leaving our dog Lady in the house. They were squawking and waddling on like a military troop, three in front and the other three right behind, waddling in step! It appeared to
me that they were about to take on the Hamlet of Hazel Dell! I quickly got in front of the little troop, turned them around, marched them back to the chicken coop, and urged them inside. When they were all finally inside I told them that because they had taken advantage of my nice manner to let them out, they would now be confined to the barracks (chicken coop) until the general (Marion) comes home! I told Marion about the incident, and all she could do was to laugh! She didn’t think it would happen again, so this morning she asked me again to take care of the turkeys, but to make sure I did it early this morning, including letting them out. I was still in my pyjamas, so I put on my boots and threw on my jacket. I filled their water and the feed, and let them out. However, I forgot to give them instructions as to the areas that would be off limits, as in the driveway. I went back to the house and was disrobed heading to the shower when I looked out of the window and saw the turkey troop waddling down the driveway. I quickly pulled on my pyjama pants, boots and a jacket and hurried out after them. They heard me coming and started to run while glancing over their shoulders. But I was faster, got ahead of
Vision month proclaimed
With the back-toschool frenzy coming to an end, many parents can turn their attention to other family matters such as extracurricular activities, school report cards and the all-important, eye exam. October is Children’s Vision Month serving as a reminder for parents to arrange an eye examination with a Doctor of Optometry. Eighty percent of learning is obtained through vision. Many parents may not be aware that undiagnosed vision problems can affect children’s learning and development, and prevent them from reaching their full potential. The need for awareness is real. One in four school-age children has a vision problem, and the majority of problems have no easy-to-detect symptoms. This makes it
14104SS02
impossible for parents to know if their child is the “one”. Vision conditions can manifest in school, socially and in play. By ensuring your child has healthy visual skills, you enable them to play, learn, socialize and fully experience everything life has to offer. The Minister of Health, Honorable Dustin Duncan and Yorkton Mayor Bob Maloney have both proclaimed “October is Children’s Vision Month” whereby encouraging all parents to ensure their children can see properly.

them and turned them around. This time Lady was with me, and Lady is a mix between a Collie and a Labrador, so she is a bit confused as to what her role would be, either herding or hunting, she chose hunting. Lady ran along side of the last turkey on her side. She kept hitting the turkey with her shoulder in an attempt to separate the turkey from the troop. A quick shout from me made Lady give up her hunt and come next to me, helping me to herd the turkeys back to the chicken coop. I locked them up again! I thought to myself that yesterday was definitely a turkey trot, but this morning had to be described as a pyjama trot!

Five tips to manage your cash flow Cash is king – it’s a common saying in the business world. But surprisingly few entrepreneurs take steps to manage their cash flow so they don’t wind up with an empty bank account and nothing to pay the bills. “One of the main causes of business failure is poor cash flow management,” says Susan Rohac, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). The good news: cash flow management is easy to improve with a few simple steps. “Getting control over your cash flow helps you prepare for slow periods, plan your financing and have peace of mind,” Rohac says. Follow these five steps to get a better handle on your cash flow. 1) Profitability check. First, make sure your business is earning a reasonable profit. Even the greatest cash flow management won’t help if your fundamentals are out of whack. Analyze each product and service separately to see whether it’s pulling its weight. Make sure your products are appropriately priced, and work to
eliminate inefficiencies. Instead of just chasing sales, chase profitable sales. In 2007, Mike Whittaker’s company Bonté Foods learned the consequences of poor cash flow the hard way after facing large cost overruns on two major projects. The company had to act quickly to restore its cash position. It analyzed its profitability and realized it had to raise prices to better reflect costs. Bonté also unloaded lower-margin product lines and launched an efficiency drive while tightening cash flow management. The changes had a huge impact. Sales in Bonté’s meat division are up 36% since 2009, while gross profit is up almost 6%. “We learned to watch our cash very carefully,” Whittaker says. “You need to always be ahead of the curve on cash flow management.” 2 Do a cash flow projection. Next, prepare a cash flow projection for the coming year. This is your early warning system for cash flow hiccups. Use an Excel spreadsheet or accounting software to plug in expected monthly cash inflows and outflows, including anticipated big-ticket purchases.

Use the projection to anticipate slow periods and plan in advance what to do about them. “Through the year, check your actual cash position regularly— once a week or month— against your projection to see how you’re doing and deal promptly with any divergences,” advises Rohac.

Continued on Page 3 Many Businesses Ignore Cash Flow Management: Survey BDC’s Susan Rohac points out that managing finances is one of the main challenges for entrepreneurs, coming in second after marketing and sales. The findings of a BDC survey this year confirm her observation: • More than four out of five entrepreneurs (82%) say they’re the ones managing cash flow and financing in the company. • However, many of the entrepreneurs don’t take basic steps to control their finances. Almost half say they don’t make cash flow projections and check them against actual results—a basic procedure of financial management.

Province continues with strong growth Saskatchewan’s economy continues to outperform, supported by a diverse resource base and healthy demographic trends, according to the Provincial Monitor report released today by BMO Economics. While a fall in crop production will lead to growth in the province of just 1.0 per cent in 2014, a jump back up to 2.7 per cent growth is expected next year. “Saskatchewan is seeing stable and solid overall economic trends,” said Robert Kavcic, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “The oil sector continues to expand, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of the province’s real GDP with direct royalties alone accounting for 13 per cent of total government revenues. This is good news given uncertainty and softening activity in the potash sector, which faces weaker demand in China and India, as well as a shift to a lower pricing environment after the breakdown of a major joint venture between Uralkali of Russia and Belaruskali of Belarus.” The labour market continues to perform well, and the province is making a case to be crowned the new
Canadian leader. “Employment has popped 3.3 per cent in the past year - leading the country,” noted Mr. Kavcic. “The job-

less rate fell back down to 3.5 per cent in September - lowest in Canada - and the employment rate hit a record high at just under 68 per cent, second among all the provinces. Median hourly wages trails only Alberta, but its growth is actually running faster.” Population growth remains strong in the province, near the fastest pace in 60 years at 1.7 per cent year over year in the third quarter of 2014. “Saskatchewan continues to see steady, albeit modest, inward interprovincial migration,” stated Mr. Kavcic. “That continues to support the demand side of the housing market - sales are currently near record levels - but
ample supply has softened the pricing environment.” The agriculture sector is experiencing volatility in crop production. “The farm sector enjoyed a bumper crop in 2013, with a near-40 per cent jump in crop production to a record 38.4 million tonnes,” said Mr. Kavcic. “This year, however, production is expected to fall sharply back toward more normal levels, with recent estimates pegging wheat and canola down more than 20 per cent for the year. That could cut almost 1.5 percentage points from real GDP growth.” “The economy in Saskatchewan continues to outperform many of the other provinces,” said John MacAulay, Senior Vice President, Prairies and Central Canada Division, BMO Bank of Montreal. “Our clients have indicated that a number of factors continue to support their optimism, including the diverse resource base and expanding oil sector. However, the most significant indicator is the population boom - nearly the fastest in 60 years - which is supporting a variety of infrastructure initiatives.”
Manage your cash flow Continued from Page 2
3) Finance big buys instead of draining cash. One of the most common cash flow mistakes is using cash to buy a major longterm asset, instead of getting financing. Even if you feel flush right now, you may suddenly wind up short of cash if you experience a sudden revenue shortfall or rapid growth. Use your cash flow projection to plan your financing needs ahead
of time, not in the midst of a crisis, when bankers may be wary to lend. Rohac also recommends matching the lifespan of a purchase with financing of similar duration. 4) Speed up cash inflows. Getting money into your business more quickly can save you carrying costs on your line of credit. Some tips: send out invoices more quickly, ask customers to pay electronically and charge interest to slow-payers.

Innovation can be taken in small steps
Entrepreneurs have to innovate to survive and thrive. However, innovation often doesn’t come easily. Let’s face it. It’s the rare business that strikes it rich with some mind-blowing hightech invention or cool new wonder-product. In fact, that’s not the kind of innovation that has the most impact in the small business world, says Michael Selci, Senior Vice President, Finance and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). Much more important is something called incremental innovation—small, manageable improvements in your business. They might not be as sexy as a fancy new product that makes a big splash in the news or revolutionizes an industry, but they’re the bread and butter of most highly innovative businesses, Selci says. And given the limited R&D resources at most small companies, incremental innovation probably offers the best payoff for entrepreneurs over the long-term. “If you don’t innovate, you risk falling behind,” Selci says. “But radical innovation isn’t the
answer for most businesses. Small incremental steps are what they need to work on to help their business grow.” Rob Read of Bison Fire Protection agrees. His company, which supplies fire protection products and services, is growing at an impressive clip, with sales shooting up 20% each year since 2001. Bison has ranked as one of Canada’s top 500 fastest-growing companies two years in a row. What is Bison’s secret? Constant improvement, Read says. “I think if you’re not innovating, changing or trying things, you’re dying. If you think business is done the same way as 10 or even five years ago, you’re wrong,” he says. “It doesn’t have to be the clouds parting and light beaming down. And we’re talking doable things – little changes on
a regular basis.” Read recently brought in an outside consultant to audit his business pro-
Do your homework before you start
Starting a small business and running it successfully are no easy tasks. In fact, most new businesses don’t survive to celebrate their fifth birthday. A Statistics Canada study found that one quarter of businesses founded during the 1990s ceased to operate within the first 2 years. Only 36% survived 5 years or more and just one fifth were around 10 years later. Step 1–What to do before starting a business Step 2–Prepare a winning business plan How to become an entrepreneur: Do you have what it takes? Turning your idea into a successful business But don’t lose faith. There are techniques to improve your business’s odds of success. And they almost all come down to following time-tested methods that are easy to learn. “It is all about doing the things you are supposed to do, when you are supposed to do them,” says Steven Karpenko, director, small business markets, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you follow sound fundamentals, your chances of success will be far higher.” Here are some tips for putting your new business on the road to success. 1. Proceed methodically. Don’t take excessive risks A recent study called From Predators to Icons, by French academics
Michel Villette and Catherine Vuillermot, argues that highly successful entrepreneurs such as Ted Turner, Sam Walton and Bernard Arnault are anything but the big risk-takers that popular mythology often makes them out to be. According to the study’s authors, their subjects act more like predators, moving slowly and cautiously, minimizing risk, and striking at carefully chosen moments when the odds are on their side. 2. Plan effectively Every ounce of work at the planning stage equals pounds of success at the execution stage. For a new business, it all comes together in a business plan. Successful entrepreneurs define specific goals in writing. They devote considerable effort to key tasks, such as studying their target market, defining marketing strategies and compiling cash-flow forecasts. They also build industry contacts to help them along the way. 3. Define an effective value proposition This sounds wordy, but it amounts to making sure that your product or service is more appealing to customers than your competitors’ offerings. Successful entrepreneurs know that no matter how good their offerings are, they won’t attract customers unless they have a clear comparative advantage. 4. Line up the right people Successful entrepreneurs may be the best sales representatives in
their firm, but they’re rarely also the best accountants, operations managers or legal experts. What they do know is how to assemble effective teams to get the job done. 5. Line up adequate financing in advance This crucial step is a direct offshoot of proper planning. Financing is a business’s oxygen; if it runs out, the business will often die, no matter how strong its potential. Successful entrepreneurs line up their financing early, before they need the cash. And potential investors, partners and lenders will be far more likely to support the business if they are provided with detailed plans at the outset. 6. Find out what help is available Federal, provincial and municipal governments and agencies offer a range of assistance to budding entrepreneurs. 7. Think long term When entrepreneurs go into business, they are naturally focused on their first weeks and months. However, in many industries, purchasing cycles can be much longer. For example, an entrepreneur who spends his first year in business developing a new software product will then need to devote considerable time to marketing it. By thinking long term, entrepreneurs can make sure they have sufficient resources to get their business on a secure footing.
cesses and look for efficiencies. He had noticed some of his employees were overworked, so he wanted to find ways to make their lives easier. “If you’re running a marathon every day, you’ll lose a lot of your people,” he says. The expert recommended some simple streamlining measures, such as processing paperwork more efficiently
and improving scheduling and inventory management. It sounds like simple stuff, but these innovations made a huge difference. “That marathon turned into a walk in the park. People are less stressed. We’re getting better production with the same people and lower costs,” Read says. “The staff have repeatedly come to me and said, ‘Thank you.’” Another recent innovation was to start having weekly meetings to brief sales people and project managers on the status of various jobs. That’s resulted in better productivity and customer service, Read says. One more innovation: hiring a supervisor for each of Bison’s three divisions. Thanks to these managers, employees are now getting better support and training. Bison has also started investing more in its people by offering weekly staff training sessions. And Read’s not done. Upcoming plans include a customer survey and another outside audit in a year or two. “As we grow,” he says, “I’m continually looking at ways to innovate.”
RESIDENTIAL and COMMERCIAL
3 Tips for SmallStep Innovation Many entrepreneurs shy away from innovation. “They view it as something complex or revolutionary that only the big guys can take on. Or they’re so busy trying to manage dayto-day operations and customers that they say they don’t have time for it and are fine as is,” BDC’s Michael Selci says. However, innovation can be tackled in small steps that are easy to manage. Here are some tips: 1) Constantly review your processes and products to see what you can improve. Seek advice from an industry expert or an external consultant with expertise in functional areas such as human resources, lean management or information and communication technology. Talk with suppliers and listen to customers to get new ideas. 2) Form partnerships with universities and colleges to cultivate ideas and potential employees. 3) Shorten your idea-to-market cycle. Quickly see whether there is market interest in your idea. Test a new product inexpensively by promoting it on eBay or YouTube. Gauge market reaction, and innovate based on the feedback.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 23, 2014 - Page 13A
Non-financial assets can be a game changer
What is the cost of losing a good employee? Entrepreneurs know it can be high. At Frima Studio, a fast-growing video game maker, the challenge of attracting and keeping talent got harder five years ago, when a pair of deeppocketed multinational competitors opened offices nearby. “We couldn’t compete on salary, so we decided to create an attractive workplace – one that was fun and inspiring,” says Nathalie McLaughlin, Frima’s Human Resources Director. Twice a year, Frima emulates the “Dragons’ Den” TV show and invites its employees to pitch innovative projects to a panel of judges. “If we judge a project to be solid enough and to have sufficient marketing potential, we will release its creators from a few of their usual tasks so that they can devote one day a week to the development of their amazing idea. A few months later, we review the state of the project and decide if it’s worth pursuing, in which case we greenlight its production and marketing. This program is already starting to yield impressive results,” explains McLaughlin. The array of benefits designed to make Frima’s employees’ lives easier includes flexible work hours, as well as a week of paid vacation time between the 25th of December and the New Year. The company offers employees gaming areas and an on-site gym. Twice a month, two massage therapists and a hair stylist also drop by. Frima isn’t alone in turning to creative ways to provide employees with nonmonetary rewards. “Companies in all industries—not just high-tech—increasingly see non-financial compensation as vital to their growth,” says
Nathalie Gélinas, Senior Vice President, Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). In today’s challenging economy, it’s harder than ever for many entrepreneurs to find the resources to draw in and retain skilled employees, she adds. At the same time, boomers are quitting the labour market, leading to labour shortages in many fields. This means businesses are increasingly competing for good workers, but they have less money to do it with. The good news: nonfinancial benefits can be inexpensive and can even boost a company’s productivity, Gélinas says. “The cost is a lot smaller than what the employer gets back. Losing an employee is very costly. Human capital is the most important resource a business has,” she says. “The ultimate challenge is to mobilize employees. Salary alone will never mobilize or retain talent over the long-term. Businesses should be creative about finding ways to attract and engage talent.” At Frima, the employee-friendly workplace became a beacon for smart, enthusiastic workers who helped propel the company’s explosive growth. “The key to our success is our work culture,” McLaughlin says. “We listen to employees a lot. People always talk about the customer experience. We have developed the employee experience. It means people don’t want to leave.” Frima also has a performance reward system that awards points that employees can exchange for services, thus reinforcing the company’s commitment to helping employees maintain work-family balance. Perks include tax preparation, lawn mowing, babysitting, movie/dinner combos and more. “Our office
is completely different from anything else in the area. It’s really
How to Compensate Without Cash Entrepreneurs should listen to employees to learn what benefits they value and work on non-financial compensation constantly until it becomes part of the company’s way of life, BDC’s Nathalie Gélinas says. Here are three types of non-financial compensation to consider. 1) Flexibility. A flexible workplace is increasingly in demand. You can offer flexibility in terms of time (variable work hours) and space (opportunities to work outside the office). 2) Trust. Employees like to have responsibility, work in a harmonious environment and be trusted to make decisions. At the same time, you should hold employees accountable via solid performance appraisals. 3) Selfdevelopment. Entrepreneurs should think about how to help employees develop themselves. The result will be more a productive and motivated workforce.
made a difference in attracting people,” McLaughlin says. Frima’s success shows that while pay is important, it isn’t what makes employees happy at work, Gélinas says. Employees want flexibility, trust and the chance to develop as part of a team, she adds. “We spend a lot of time listening to customers to serve them better. We also need to listen to employees.”

Taking advice can help entrepreneurs
Looking for an easy and inexpensive way to energize your business, boost sales and plan for the future? Here’s an often-overlooked idea: create an advisory board. Only a meagre 6 per cent of Canadian entrepreneurs have an advisory board for their business, according to a survey this year by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). However, 86 per cent of entrepreneurs who have an advisory board say it’s had a significant impact on their business. “Once people understand the benefits, they become big fans,” says Pierre Cléroux, BDC’s Vice President of Research and Chief Economist. “There are really practical, tangible benefits for the bottom line.” BDC’s research bears that out. The study shows that annual sales at businesses with an advisory board were 24 per cent higher than those at companies without one, and productivity was 18 per cent higher. An advisory board is an informal body of outside experts that an entrepreneur can use as a sounding board or to fill in gaps in expertise and contacts. Unlike a board of directors, advisory boards have no legal responsibility for the company’s governance, but experts say they still bring a lot of value. Jean-Yves Sarazin knows the benefits first hand. He created an advisory board back in 1990 at his company Groupe Delom, which offers maintenance and manufacturing rotating equipment such as motors, pumps and ventilators. At his advisory
board’s very first meeting, Sarazin was referred to a financial institution that allowed his company to save tens of thousands of dollars through lower interest charges on a loan. “Every entrepreneur should have an advisory board. Each time I’ve seen a company create one, the first meeting produces a return that is enough to cover the compensation for the whole year,” he says. Sarazin has become such a big supporter of the idea that he has agreed to sit on several other companies’ advisory boards as a way of giving back for the help he’s received over the years. Another benefit: an advisory board obliges entrepreneurs to periodically step back and look at the overall direction of their business. “Just getting ready for my meeting with the advisory board forces me to take stock of the business and consider it from new angles,” Sarazin says. Having an advisory board also reassures financial institutions, which examine the quality of the company’s team when assessing a loan application, he says. “It shows you’re not alone in making decisions.” So why don’t more businesses have an advisory board? Some entrepreneurs think it may be too time-consuming to create one or are simply unaware of the benefits, Cléroux explains. But the payoffs, he says, are usually well worth the effort and cost (some companies offer advisors a nominal honorarium, while others don’t compensate them). “An advisory board is a good tool to force the business owner to think more about the compa-
ny’s vision, long-term goals and how to achieve them,” Cléroux says. “The benefits are way bigger than the cost to the business.” How to Set Up an Advisory Board Setting up an advisory board is easier than you might think. “It’s not that hard to find people to sit on an advisory board. Experienced CEOs often agree because they want to help their community,” says BDC’s Pierre Cléroux. • Ask your accountant, lawyer or business network to refer potential candidates. Some business associations offer a service to help companies find advisory board members. • Effective advisory board members tend to be veteran business people who offer expertise an entrepreneur may lack. They should be completely independent of the company, rather than your accountant or lawyer—“someone who will give you the true story,” as Cléroux puts it. • Entrepreneurs should meet their advisory board regularly—for example, on a monthly or quarterly basis. About 60 per cent of advisory board members receive no compensation, while others usually get a modest honorarium. A restaurant meal or retreat can also be a way to thank advisors.

Small business keeping local1049 economies1059 strong $
Supporting job creation and economic growth is still our Conservative Government’s top priority. $ 19th to From October the 25th, Canada is celebrating Small Business Week, which highlights the grit, creativity and dedication of Canadian small business owners and celebrates the hardworking Canadians that help keep our communities prosperous. We have many such people right here in the Yorkton-Melville constituency, where many of our communities rely on their vital small businesses. Indeed, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), small-and-medium-sized businesses employ 70% of the private sector workforce—almost 8 million Canadians. Therefore, helping Canada’s small business community continue to grow and thrive is essential to Canada’s continued economic prosperity. Since 2006 our Conservative Government has introduced a number of measures aimed at helping support small business growth. This includes the temporary hiring credit and the EI rate freeze. In total, small businesses have seen their taxes reduced by 34% since 2006. At the same time, we have enhanced the

by Garry Breitkreuz Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption and promoted Canada’s vibrant venture capital system through the Venture Capital Action Plan. We’ve also taken steps to help Canada’s small businesses expand into new markets through our ambitious trade agenda. That agenda has made it possible to secure free trade deals with the world’s largest single market, the European Union, and with South Korea— which will expand Canada’s trade footprint in the lucrative Asia-Pacific market. But with ongoing global economic uncertainty, we know the job isn’t done yet. That’s why our Government is introducing the Small Business Job Credit, something that could prove very helpful right in this constituency. The Small Business Job Credit will lower small businesses’ payroll taxes by 15% over the next two years, saving them roughly $550 million which they can rein-
vest in their businesses and use to hire more Canadians. Canada’s economy emerged from the global recession better off than most. Unlike both opposition parties, our Conservative Government doesn’t think hard-working small business owners should be penalized for their success with higher taxes. Recently Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Finance, noted that “the last federal Liberal government jacked up EI taxes and used almost $60 billion as a political slush fund.” In contrast, he believes “our government’s plan is affordable and will create thousands of new jobs.” Through important measures such as the Small Business Job Credit, our Conservative Government is helping Canada’s small business owners, like those who own the businesses you regularly patronize in your own community, keep Canada’s economy strong and prosperous.

It’s not a business plan Don’t confuse a strategic plan with a business plan, which is a much broader document and includes a strategic plan, a marketing plan, financial plan and operational plan. Prepare and define the scope of your planning by reviewing your motivation, costs and means.

Strategic planning may seem like an obscure concept for many entrepreneurs and it’s definitely had some overexposure in the business press. Why? Simply put, strategic planning determines exactly where your organization is going over the next year or more and how it’s going to get there.

Planning for good and bad times Continued from Page 9 Analyze your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats through a review of your company’s internal environment and looking at external factors such as competition and demographics. Formulate strategies by looking at exactly what strategies and tactics you take as a result of the above factors.
Implement your strategies by assessing your resources and getting your plan on paper. Communicating the plan by getting your message out to your key players. Measuring your success by tracking your progress and motivating your employees to keep up their efforts. Who carries it out? Your strategic planning should be carried out in a team environ-
ment that involves key players in your business. Generally, it’s headed by the president of the company, who gets input from employees or a specific team assigned. The team identifies key factors for the strategic analysis and participates in that diagnosis through, for example, interviews. The team is also involved in the formulation of the strategic direction and action plans.
When is the best time for strategic planning? The scheduling for the strategic planning process depends largely on the nature and needs of your organization. For example, if your business environment changes rapidly, strategic planning is essential to keep afloat and should be carried out at least once a year. A rule of thumb is to be disciplined and ensure it happens regularly.
How will it benefit you? Strategic planning will help you: Define the purpose of your company and set realistic goals. Communicate those goals to your players. Ensure employees better use resources. Measure your progress and find means to fill gaps. Build a consensus in your company about where your organization is going.
Increase productivity by ensuring that employees know where they’re going and what’s expected of them. Capitalize on your strengths. Overcome your weaknesses. Take advantage of business opportunities. Defend against threats to your organization. BDC Canada
Canada’s engine of growth is small business Small and mediumsized businesses are the cornerstone of the Canadian economy. They account for 99.9 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60% of private sector
workers. At the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), we believe this contribution deserves to be celebrated. We also believe entrepreneurs need support in building successful,
innovative businesses. For 35 years, the Business Development Bank of Canada has been organizing BDC Small Business WeekTM in recognition of the contribu-
tions and achievements of Canada’s entrepreneurs. Events held during the week bring entrepreneurs together at conferences, luncheons and trade fairs across the country where they
have the opportunity to learn, network and enjoy themselves in the company of their peers. In 2013, over 280 activities across Canada attracted close to 10,000 busi-

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 23, 2014 - Page 19A
Mistakes will help you grow your business Every entrepreneur feels it at some point: the fear of failure. Only half of new businesses make it to their fifth birthday, and that can cause entrepreneurs a lot of stress. However, experts say failure can actually lead to major accomplishments. In fact, failure has been a key ingredient in some of the business world’s great success stories, says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Public Affairs at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “Canadian entrepreneurs and the public at large need to be more forgiving about failure. Failure–and learning from mistakes–is often an important milestone on the path to success,” Bergeron says. “We have to change our perception about failure in order to help business owners stay in the game.” Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She points to the new BDC Entrepreneurial Resiliency Award, an initiative that recognizes a Canadian business that has successfully undergone a turnaround or pivotal event in the past and come back stronger because of it. “Many entrepreneurs talk about some kind of massive failure or hurdle they’ve overcome,” says Conroy, Vice President of Transaction Advisory
Services at EY. She is also President of the Montreal chapter of the Turnaround Management Association, a group for corporate turnaround experts that teamed up with BDC for this award. No business is too big or too small to confront roadblocks. Bergeron cites the example of Groupon, the giant deals website. The company got its start as a social media site called The Point, which was created to help people connect for social activism purposes. After a year of effort and US$1 million in operating costs, the start-up was going nowhere. “The founders shifted gears and turned their offering into the discount coupon service Groupon. They learned, adapted and made a fortune,” Bergeron says. Two years later, the shift in focus proved profitable: Groupon ballooned from a few dozen employees to 10,000 and was the fastest company in history to make US$1 billion in revenue. Bergeron advises entrepreneurs to adopt a “try, try again” philosophy. At its core: learning from mistakes and showing resilience, a new business approach that is growing in popularity in today’s rapidly changing economy, he says. Instead of the old model, which emphasized extensive planning before
launching a new venture—by which time technology and markets may change substantially—the new approach favours a lean and nimble start-up. The idea is to engage customers early with a basic product, even if you haven’t worked out all the bugs. The second step: Learn quickly from customer feedback and missteps. Third: Constantly refine your efforts. And the final secret ingredient: Don’t give up. “I don’t think fear is all bad. It can be healthy and reasonable. It keeps entrepreneurs from making rash decisions,” Conroy says. “But it’s important to avoid excessive hesitation and waiting for the exact perfect moment. Trying, failing and trying again is much better than not trying at all.”
Canadians Slow to Accept Failure How do entrepreneurs turn failure into success? “They have had a knack for seeing failure as an opportunity or challenge,” says BDC’s Michel Bergeron. “When solution ‘A’ didn’t work, they tried solution ‘B’ if they were still convinced there was a need. Or they decided to meet a different need and, in the process, found a new path. The setback helped them identify a weakness, and they fixed it.” Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She cites a 2013 EY survey that found the following: • Over one third of Canadian entrepreneurs (35 per cent) said business failure is seen as a barrier to future business prospects. This is 9 percentage points higher than the average across the G-20 countries, which was 26 per cent. • Canadian may be more worried about failure because of “higher expectations,” but they should also keep in mind Canada’s “many entrepreneurial upsides,” such as the low cost of starting a business, the survey authors noted.

Adding flavour to your meats For many of us, meat is an important part of our daily diet. Whether it be beef, lamb, pork or chicken, it is important to know the basics of creating the most flavour possible. Marinades seem to be first and foremost in people’s minds when it comes to creating flavour in cooked meats. Although they do create flavour, they are also important in making a cut of meat more tender. The best marinades are made up from the simplest of ingredients that you have in your home already. Please don’t rely on the packages of powder you find at the supermarkets. Marinades are made up from a base, an acid, flavourful ingredients, and salt. The base of a marinade is usually oil, as this will aid in the cooking process. An acid such as vinegar, wine, or lemon juice is added to breakdown the tougher proteins found in the meat. Red meats, depending on the cuts, are the toughest and are better to marinate from one hour up to twenty-four hours. Chicken and pork proteins are much more delicate and are more preferably marinated for no longer than four to six hours. Over marinated chicken will actually start to become tough. The flavour combinations that can be added to a marinade are literally endless. Crushed garlic, herbs, spices, and condiments, are just a few. Be creative! Don’t forget the salt as it is crucial to assist in the marinade penetrating the meat thoroughly. Flavour creation does not only exist by
Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com marinating. Searing meats, marinated or not, is very important. There is usually no cooking method that should exempt one from searing meat first. This develops a crust that will carry flavour all the way through to the finished dish one is preparing. Stew, for example, has a more developed beef flavour when the stew meat pieces are browned prior to the addition of other ingredients. Many presume searing seals juices inside the meat. This, however, is incorrect as no amount of searing can prevent the loss of moisture. The flavour in crust development can be enhanced even further by the addition of seasoning. You may want to add salt & pepper to the meat prior to searing. This simple seasoning will then become part of the meat’s outer shell. Applying dry rubs, consisting of a mixture of many different spices, prior to searing is popular for adding a complexity of flavours. Searing should be done at a high temperature with an small amount of oil that is suitable for high temperatures, such as grape seed oil, rice bran oil, or even canola or vegetable oil in a pinch. Do not crowd the pan or surface area, as this will decrease the temperature and cause the
meat to simmer in its juices rather than caramelize. Searing also creates “browned bits” (called fond) on the bottom of a pan. Fond will also add depth in flavour to a sauce being created. To achieve this, add a liquid, such as wine or stock, to the pan and loosen these bits with a wooden spoon - just make sure the pan is not too hot and there is very little residual oil left in the pan. Use this liquid as a part of the sauce, or reduce it further it to become a sauce of its own - I will always add a splash of whipping cream for better colour and consistency. The reduction process of these liquids will cause water to evaporate thus concentrating the flavours and creating a desired sauce consistency. Taste and adjust the sauce as necessary prior to serving. Furthermore I cannot end this column without mentioning the benefit of cooking over charcoal. Lump charcoal is one of the oldest known forms of cooking fuel to mankind. I am not talking about manmade square briquettes here, just natural lump charcoal (basically chunks of wood that are burnt in a silo with very little or no oxygen). The flavour complexity lump charcoal adds to meat, vegetables, and other foods is unparalleled to anything else and simply switching

COOL Ruling good for cattle farmers Premier Brad Wall welcomed the World Trade Organization (WTO) compliance panel ruling in favour of Canada and urged the United States to end mandatory Country of Origin Labelling (COOL). “The latest WTO ruling once again confirms that the U.S. mandatory COOL rules unfairly discriminate against Canadian cattle and hog exports,” Wall said. “COOL is a protectionist measure
that hurts producers and negatively affects the entire supply chain on both sides of the border and it should be scrapped.” COOL adds substantial costs to the integrated North American meat and livestock industry while providing no meaningful benefit to consumers. COOL prevents U.S. processors from comingling U.S. beef and pork with meat from Canadian cattle and hogs resulting in the
need to segregate livestock. Segregation adds higher costs for companies using livestock born or raised outside of the U.S. along with additional costs for producers. Consumers are also impacted through higher meat prices. “The ruling released is a positive step for Saskatchewan cattle and hog producers,” Wall said. “While the U.S. may appeal this decision, we strongly urge the U.S. Congress
to repeal COOL for beef and pork or make a legislative fix which would remove the arbitrary and unjustifiable discrimination and damages against Canadian cattle and hogs that is in the current legislation.” Saskatchewan supports the federal government in pursuing retaliatory tariffs if necessary. COOL is an important issue for Saskatchewan producers. Saskatchewan’s
cattle herd is the second largest in the country at nearly 2.9 million head and the province’s producers supply feedlots and packers in

Construction will continue into fall on Saskatchewan highways Motorists should expect to see construction crews out on Saskatchewan highways well into fall as more than 30 highway projects are currently underway. “Mild fall conditions have allowed construction projects to continue later into the season,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister
Nancy Heppner said. ”Crews will be hard at work until the ground freezes up. Remember to always slow to 60 km/hr in work zones so construction can be done safely.” New projects underway in the province this week include a $1.9 million landslide repair on Highway 2 at Buffalo Pound Lake and a
$330,000 culvert installation on Highway 11 at Girvin. Both projects may require traffic to be reduced to one lane at times and drivers should expect delays. The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on current projects to help plan safe

Prairie Debut Presents Fung-Chiu Piano Duo, One Piano/Four Hands A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, November 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. With their unique programming and captivating stage presence, the Fung-Chiu Duo (Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu) has quickly become one of Canada’s premiere piano duos. The complicity between the Fung-Chui Duo simply has to be seen and heard to be believed. They breathe new life into orchestral masterpieces through their extraordinary arrangements for one piano four hands, where the 100 musicians of the orchestra become 20 fingers flying across the keyboard. They have effortless rapport, not just with one another, but with their enthralled audiences. Fung and Chiu break down the “fourth wall” chatting with the audience throughout the concert, telling stories and sharing insights… and often answering a few questions about composers, life on the road, and most importantly, Montreal bagels. Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.
