The art of the violin on display at Godfrey Dean By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer For sixty years, from 1935 to 1996 James Huziak made violins, putting together over fifty instruments simply for the joy of music and Now thirty five examples of his craft are on display at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. Jim Huziak, James’ son, says that the show came about because gallery director Don Stein heard about his efforts to document all of the violins in the collection. The family thought it was a good idea to put together a celebration of the work, including a concert in the evening because a violin is meant to play music above all else. The art of violin manufacture was a hobby for James, Huziak says, and he was never interested in selling the instruments, instead focused on making each one better than the last. While an instrument could be sold, the price was $2,000, a serious amount for an instrument in the 1970s. The reason for the high price was because he wanted them to be serious players making an investment. “He wasn’t going to give them up to just hang on the wall.” The fact that he was

not interested in sales is a big reason why the show can happen, and Huziak says he has not heard of another case of

so many instruments made by one person still in the same collection. More than just music, the violins also contain

local history, as some of the instruments are made out of things like wood components of threshing machines, or

the counter of a hardware store. This is the first time the violins have been shown together, and

Huziak says that this is really the first time many people have seen what his father had worked on for so many years. “Even people we have known all our lives is the surprised by the number of them.” Huziak says it’s rewarding to see people enjoying the violins again, and given that his father made them to play them, it’s a fitting tribute to have a concert on his instruments. This show will be the last time all of the violins are in the same place. Huziak says that when it comes to violins, they need to be played and enjoyed, rather than hang on the wall as they are now, so they are planning to sell the collection. However, they want the instruments to be sold to people who will play them, and Huziak says they are trying to find serious players to sell the instruments to. “A violin hanging on the wall is a waste, it’s just a piece of wood. They have to be played. They have to be moved and I would like to see them in the hands of violinists. They improve if they are played and they just get old if they don’t.” The show runs until December 6 at the Godfrey Dean.

CFUW celebrates 60 years in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Canadian Federation of University Women has been in Yorkton for 60 years in 2014, and in that time has been an integral part of the community, supporting a wide range of causes and the education of local young women through scholarships. To celebrate the 60 year anniversary of the group, they are holding a celebration on October 18. Eileen Harvey, CFUW Yorkton presi-

dent, says that the group has been focused on improving the area from its inception, whether that was advocating for the establishment of the Parkland Library and Kindergarten in schools many years ago, or more recent efforts such as a forum on affordable senior’s housing or advocating for missing and murdered aboriginal women, sparked by the Tina Fontaine case. “We focus on trying to improve women’s education and their

status in society, promoting their equality.” One of the programs which the CFUW has been heavily involved in was lobbying for a recycling program within the city, and Harvey says that this has been one of the big success stories for the group. “We were instrumental in getting that going, and we received national recognition for our efforts on that.” The world has changed significantly since the group began, with more women in

careers that previously would not have been open to them, as well as more women in public leadership roles. However, she says that while it’s better than it was when the group was formed, there is still a lot of work to be done, and she notes that evidence can be found in the relatively small number of women in parliament or in the country’s top CEOs. It’s the club’s goal, both on a local and a national level, to promote women advancing in those roles.

Harvey says that it’s important to realize just how much has changed since the club’s inception, and even in the past 30 years. She says that it can be a struggle to connect to young women, who haven’t lived without the advances groups like the CFUW have worked to achieve. “A lot of work has been done, but there’s still a lot of work to do and improve.” The event itself will feature the Canadian president Doris Mae Oulton as its keynote

speaker. Oulton has held a number of key positions both within the group and in her career overall, and Harvey says that she anticipates it being a great speech and that Oulton is someone they are proud to call the national president. The supper celebration will be at the St. Mary’s Cultural Center on October 18, beginning at 5:00 p.m. and is $30 per person. For tickets to this event contact Harvey at 306782-5037 or Elsie at 306-783-4862.

City of Yorkton wins two marketing awards By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The City of Yorkton has taken home two Marketing Canada awards from the Economic Development Association of Canada. The two awards were for the new Community Profile, in the single publication, over four pages category, as well as an award for the bookmark and handout promotion which highlights the lifestyle and employment opportunities in Yorkton. The package which received the recognition contains the Community, Investor, Economic and Airport Profiles, two videos, as well as the bookmarks and other hand-

outs. Roy Lanaway, Communication Manager for the city of Yorkton says that the goal with the entire project was to showcase what is happening in the city, and with the recognition they believe they are succeeding with that goal. The city has been focused on keeping up with current technology in the marketing materials, Lanaway notes, with everything featuring QR codes that can direct people to the city website, as well as the credit cardsized USB drive that works as a handout. “We wanted to make sure that we were ahead of the curve.” It has been a three year process to get the

National Forest Week

publications put together, and Lanaway says that they started from scratch on the project, with Gord Shaw, Director of Planning and Engineering, Faisal Anwar, the former Economic Development Officer and himself being the leads on the project. “All of these pieces we had in mind to be part of a total package.” Now that the base is there to build on, they plan on keeping the publications current and continuing to reflect the current state of the city. Statistics will be updated annually, and with the investor profile the plan is to showcase different businesses each time the package gets reprinted. The goal with the project was to promote Yorkton, Lanaway says, and awards like the ones received from EDAC are another way to keep the spotlight on the city and get people’s attention.

THE CITY OF YORKTON has won two Marketing Canada awards for the recently released Community Profile. Pictured above are Roy Lanaway, Communications Manager, Mayor Bob Maloney, and Gord Shaw, Director of Planning and Engineering.

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz Celebrating Canada’s Forests Our country recently observed National Forest Week, a week in which many organizations celebrate the historic role of Canada’s forests. There’s a lot to celebrate: Our forests account for 10 percent of the world’s forest cover. And over 150 million – over 40 percent of Canada’s nearly 400 million hectares of forests – are internationally certified as sustainably managed. That’s far more than in any other country in the world. The Government of Canada also wants to acknowledge the role of the forest industry in providing well-paying jobs and supporting the quality of life in many Canadian regions. Our forest sector contributed $19.2 billion to our gross domestic product in 2013. It employed over 200,000 workers throughout the country, including several communities in Yorkton-Melville. While those workers depend directly on the forest sector for survival, many of us depend on the forest sector in other ways; not only for the wood products used to make so many of the things we rely on in our daily lives, but for environmental stability. And numerous recreation industries depend on standing forests for their own livelihood. In order to make certain that Canada’s vast natural forests will continue to play a major role in our communities, the federal government is making strategic investments that strike a balance between environmental and economic needs. Less than 0.5 percent of Canada’s forests are harvested annually to manufacture products for the domestic and

international markets, and all forests harvested on public lands must be regenerated. Our government is helping to protect and create jobs in Canada’s forest industries. We’re doing that by strengthening the sector’s competitiveness and resilience through initiatives aimed at developing advanced technologies and value-added forest products. Canada’s $100-million Investment in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) Program is helping to drive innovation and transformation in the forest sector, leading to a more resilient industry, with a diverse and higher-value forest product mix. Since 2010, 11 projects have been announced under the IFIT program, helping to bring Canadian ideas from laboratories into the marketplace, with products such as bioenergy from wood waste, engineered wood products that will revolutionize the construction of buildings, and high-quality hardwood flooring from low-quality forest resources, among others. IFIT projects have resulted in over 2,500 jobs being secured or created, the generation of 7.2 megawatts of renewable electrical capacity and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As co-chair of the AllParty Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus, I know well that our forests are an invaluable part of Canadian hunting and angling. Over the years, I’ve seen that the people who use our natural environment care more about that environment than the well-funded multinational lobby groups that seek to restrict our use of them.

Walk intends to educate about Angioma By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Angioma not a disease many people know about, and an upcoming walk is being planned to change that. Dana Betz is one of the organizers of the Angioma Alliance walk, taking place October 18 in Springside. Angioma is when people have abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spine, described as “raspberry-shaped.” These vessels can bleed, which can cause symp-

toms such as seizures, behavioral changes and paralysis. Betz got involved because her five year old daughter Paige has been living with Angioma, and has had a bleed three times since she was one and a half, the most recent being three weeks ago. For her daughter, who has the vessel in her brain stem, it causes paralysis. “She started sitting up by herself about three days ago, so it takes about two weeks

before she starts getting herself back.” In this case, while it was previously thought to be inoperable due to the location, Betz says that doctors believe it may be possible if something has changed after the last bleed and currently consulting neurosurgeons to see what can be done. It is not known how common the condition is, Betz says, because many people can live for years without having a bleed and feeling the effects. She says it var-

ies significantly from person to person how severe the condition can get and how often they can have a bleed and experience systems. “People can have this and never know, so it’s impossible to see who has it... I’ve been talking to people who were 35 when they had their first bleed. I know one woman who is 63 and she had her first bleed four years ago. But my daughter was one and a half when she had her first bleed, and I know a woman whose son is

four and he’s had three brain surgeries.” Betz says she was inspired to put the walk together because she thought that there simply wasn’t enough awareness about the condition in Canada. She says that she did not know what angioma actually was until her daughter was diagnosed, and that as she searched for information she found it was difficult to find much in Canada on the subject. As a parent going through the experience,

she says it was terrifying to watch it happen to her daughter and not know what was going on, or what they could do. “We just want people to know what it is... With my daughter when it started the first thing we noticed was that her left eye was cross, and within three days she couldn’t walk.” The walk takes place at the Springside Rink on October 18. To get involved call Betz at 306-620-8389.

Early colorectal cancer screening saves lives By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer October is Women’s Cancer Awareness month, and this year the focus is on bowel cancer. Dr. Vicky Holmes, ambassador for the month, says that this is the second largest cause of cancer deaths in the province, and early detection is the best way to save lives. Saskatchewan has an

early detection program in place, Holmes says, using the FIT test. Mailed out to every resident between 50 and 75, people receive a kit for the test. The test looks for blood in the stool, at levels long before people would be able to see it themselves. Holmes explains that the test works because bowel cancer is caused by polyps in the colon, which give off

small amounts of blood. “What they’ve found is that if you can catch this cancer in the early stages, you have a good chance of curing it.” She notes that if the cancer is caught at stage one, the five year survival rate is 93 per cent, but if it’s in stage four, the rate is of survival rate decreases dramatically, with a five year survival rate of only eight per cent.

“Catching it early can really change your life.” The program has been a success among the people who have returned the test, with 200 cases being discovered that would not have been found otherwise, as well as many pre-cancerous polyps, with about 600 people having those discovered through the test. However, in order for the test to work people still need to actually take the

test, and Holmes says that about half of the tests have not been returned. She says that people might think it’s a bit gross or complex, but that it actually only takes a few seconds. “People are throwing this in the garbage rather than doing the test. My point is now is the time to do it, when you don’t have symptoms and this is a free program that just takes a few seconds to do and it can really change your life.” While it’s connected to women in October, Holmes emphasizes that this is not a cancer that discriminates along gender lines. In fact, she notes that while it’s the second most deadly cancer for women, men are at an even higher risk of developing colorectal cancer. “People don’t need to die from this disease if we catch it early

enough.” Holmes says people can always get a new kit by calling 1-855-2922202, and they will be sent a new kit and can take the test. She says people are getting the message, with more people learning just how important the test is. While colorectal cancer is the specific focus for 2014, Holmes notes that early screening is vital for all of the cancers women are most commonly diagnosed with, including breast, cervical and skin cancer. Holmes says that womenshealthforlife.ca allows women to sign up for an annual “Reminder for Life”, which is a reminder of what screening they should do every year, and they can use it as a start to discuss with their doctor what they need to keep healthy into the future.

Train accident a warning sign On July 6, 2013, Canada watched in horror as a shocking train wreck unfolded in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. A loaded with volatile oil was left unattended with inadequate breaking and rolled down killing 47 people and destroying half the downtown. The Transportation Safety Board responded with new regulations, which critics decried as not going far enough and the railways viewed as unnecessary. Just six days ago, Hunter Harrison, CEO of Canadian Pacific, said as much according to The Globe and Mail. “Lac-Mégantic happened, in my view, because of one person’s behaviour, if I read the file right,” Harrison told the Globe. “An individual did not set the brakes. And I think that we have overreacted and looked at a thousand different things about what we want to do with [regulations]. And you’re not going to write [regulations] that are going to stop behaviour.” Speaking of behaviour, how about the railways eliminating cabooses and reducing train operators at the same time they are increasing train lengths and speeds? On Tuesday, a 100-car train derailed just outside of Clair about 20 kilometres west of Wadena. CN said 26 cars derailed, six of which were carrying toxic materials. Due to the explosion and resulting fire, authorities evacuated the village and others from farm homes in the area. No persons were injured, but farmers fear for their livestock and crops. All in all, this was a major derailment with a relatively minor immediate impact because, fortunately, it occurred outside a population centre. There is, of course, a bit of a conundrum here. As Harrison told investors, “Think about what’s going on today in North America in both countries, regulators, legislators, shippers are saying you gotta move more stuff, you gotta move it faster, you gotta move it safer. But, by the way you gotta slow down. It doesn’t work.” He has a bit of a point. In September, the federal government announced it would fine CN up to $100,000 a week for failing to move enough grain under the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act. It is unclear how those fines might affect the railway’s bottom line but it is becoming increasingly clear that public safety is not a priority. There were only two employees on the train that wrecked near Wadena on Tuesday. On CBC’s The National Tuesday night, there was a report that 75 per cent of train operators admitted to having fallen asleep on the job. The railroad system is broken in this country. That’s bad news because the trains pass through or near virtually every hamlet, village, town and city and they’re getting longer all the time. Every single community needs to do more to hold the railroads and regulators accountable. This is a very serious issue that should be a priority for the municipality. Yorkton could be the next Lac-Mégantic.

Web broadcasting is here to stay The current dispute between Netflix and the CRTC, which may ultimately be decided in court, highlights the need for the deregulation of Canada’s broadcasting industry, finds a new essay released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “With the rising popularity of Netflix and other online broadcasters, Canada needs to readjust what was already a fundamentally flawed attitude towards broadcasting,” said Steven Globerman, Fraser Institute senior fellow, Kaiser Professor of International Business at Western Washington University, and author of Canadian Content Is Dead; Long Live Canadian Content! The taxpayer-funded Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates all Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications activities. Conventional broadcasters (TV stations, for example) must adhere to CRTC rules, which include Canadian content quotas and mandatory funding of homegrown entertainment. Meanwhile, broadcasters such as Netflix operate outside CRTC rules, aren’t subject to the costs associated with CRTC compliance, and therefore enjoy a competitive advantage over conventional broadcasters. So shouldn’t the CRTC be allowed to regulate Internet broadcasters, to level the playing field? No, says Globerman, for a couple of major reasons. Firstly, tasking the CRTC to essentially regulate the Internet would require a massive expansion of CRTC size and scope, not to mention the increased cost to tax-

payers. (And even then, the CRTC’s practical ability to regulate the web remains an open question, to say the least.) “If the CRTC were to impose content restrictions online, it would be censoring the Internet—a concept many Canadians would likely oppose,” Globerman said. Secondly, the CRTC has failed to achieve its stated mandate (even when dealing with a relatively small group of conventional broadcasters). For example, according to the CRTC, it promotes Canadian content and strengthens Canada’s “national identity,” a concept not clearly defined by the CRTC. Yet evidence finds that Canadians do not consider Canadian entertainment programming (or entertainers, for that matter) prominent symbols of national pride. And the often-repeated claim, that Canadian producers can’t compete with their U.S. counterparts, ignores advances in digital technology, which have significantly decreased the costs of producing and distributing entertainment content. “If policy-makers want to level the playing field and allow fair competition among broadcasters in Canada, they should deregulate the conventional broadcasting sector, so it can compete, unfettered, with Internet broadcasters,” Globerman said. “The Netflixs of the world are here to stay, and it’s unrealistic to enforce narrow rules such as mandatory Canadian content and foreign ownership restrictions on an increasingly globalized industry.”

The Olympic games need to get much cheaper Nobody wants to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. There are two cities left in the running, Beijing, China and Almaty, Kazakhstan, after Oslo, Norway pulled out of the running. I thought that Norway would have been the perfect host for the games, but they disagreed, and who knows if anyone will still be in the running by the end of the process. There are going to many theories as to why nobody wants to host this winter games, but I have a fairly simple explanation: Sochi, Russia. The most recent games were not bad from a spectator’s perspective, sure, but if you’re planning to host the Olympics, what you see is a country pouring billions of dollars into the games with very little long term benefit. One cannot blame people in other countries for not wanting that to happen in their backyard, nobody wants to see their city become bankrupt because of the expense of hosting a games. That means that public support dries up, and bids get withdrawn. This has happened before, when nobody wanted to host the 1984 games apart from Los Angeles. Like before, the reluctance was largely caused by an extremely expensive games immediately before the selection process began – the 1976 Montreal games, specifically – and cities largely withdrew because

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger they did not want that most recent boondoggle to be repeated at home. The 1984 games might not have been the best games in the world – boycotts saw to that – but they also were relatively cheap and actually managed to turn a profit. People remembered that the Olympics didn’t have to be an overpriced disaster with half-finished facilities. Memories are short though, so in the wake of a different overpriced disaster with half-finished facilities, we’re again seeing a reluctance to host the games. The IOC isn’t helping matters, since they’re still acting like the most important organization in the world rather than someone who is suddenly incredibly unpopular, demanding things such as pri-

oritized road lanes just for them. This isn’t exactly going to endear them to a population that is already less than willing to host their party. If the IOC would learn modesty and not demand any perks at all, they might be able to get more cities on board. The solution for the future of the Olympics is the same solution that presented itself in the 1980s, we need to have a games that is relatively inexpensive. Fewer big splashy new arenas, opening ceremonies that do not cost the same as your average blockbuster film, that kind of thing. Oslo was the perfect bid because Norway participates in everything, so facilities would exist and less would need to be built. It could result in a sensible games, which is what the Olympics need the next time around. Of the two remaining bids, it’s unlikely that Beijing would give a sensible games, since they did not do that when they were host in the summer. Almaty could pull it off, they have already said that their bid is going to have a relatively small budget. That is exactly what the Olympics needs, and if they can put together a good games for very little money, they could revive the whole Olympic movement. The problem with the games is that they have become more expensive than they’re worth, so we need a host to prove they do not have to be.

Canadian Criminal Justice system needs an overhaul

Oil critics need equalization monies

To the Editor: The law, the police and the courts usually operate in a laudable fashion. Their whole purpose is to provide a safe secure and orderly environment within which the pursuit of group and individual objectives goes much smoother in an atmosphere of peace and order and good governance, The following situations from the recent past give cause for unease. Only a few years ago, a recent arrival from the Ukraine was tasered to death in the V a n c o u v e r International airport. The tasers were under the control of four representatives of the law. The man had been wandering around in the airport for some time. Those who were to meet him had been delayed in traffic. He could not speak English, he seems disoriented and was get-

ting more and more anxious as time passed. His behavior eventually attracted attention. He was surrounded, warned to settle down and then tasered. He fell to the floor kicking and screaming, not knowing what had hit him or why. When further warnings to settle down went unheeded he was tasered again and again and again. By the time he quieted down he was dead. Robert Latimer was found guilty of a criminal offense when he took the life of his severely disabled daughter. He was incarcerated and eventually released on parole. He immediately returned home to help tend to the needs of his family and his farm. He is there to this day. The terms of his parole do not allow him to leave the country. He is thus, not eligible, for a passport. Can anyone explain why allowing Robert Latimer to take his

family abroad on a trip would constitute a real and imminent threat to the peace order and good governance of this country or any other. The man has already been to hell and back. Quite recently, in Regina, a man with terminal cancer was raided by law enforcement. He had a license to produce medical marijuana for himself. He grew it in a warehouse that he owned, He not only produced medical marijuana for himself but also grew for several other licensed users. This is, also, quite within the present provisions of the law. Unfortunately, for the grower, some of his clients had allowed their licenses to expire. At the time of the raid, he thus had more dried product in his possession than the law would allow. There was no evidence that he was peddling dope to the public at large - young or old. He was found guilty

and given a six month sentence. The court dedided to allow him to serve his sentence in community service. Otherwise he would surely die in jail. His warehouse was confiscated. Can law enforcement and the courts not find something better to do with their time and resources than harass someone in this fashion It would be a gross exaggeration and quite unfair to suggest that these examples are typical of our entire criminal justice system. They are NOT. When the system does, however, behave in a way that is unjust or irrational or nonsensical we have a responsibility to let them know. Otherwise, we will deserve what we get. Just the other day, the court granted Robert Latimer his passport. You see there is hope for us yet!! Doug Cowling Yorkton, SK

Federal changes tough to understand Internationally, the arts and entertainment community has always thrived on a culture of open exchange of talent. But local arts and entertainment programming has been put at risk by recent reforms to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that create red tape and drive up the cost. Small arts and entertainment organizations are overwhelmed by having to jump through legal hoops and shell out $1,000 each time they need to bring in international talent. The government allows foreign performing artists on “time-limited engagements” to bypass the lengthy and complicated TFW process. While comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who performed four shows in Calgary over two days, may be exempt from the paperwork and fees, it is impossible to tell from the government’s guidelines whether a foreign actor in Canada for six weeks of rehearsals and performances is also exempt. How did the government decide who’s exempt and who’s not? Unfortunately, behindthe-scenes artists and production crew do not enjoy exemptions, even though they are critical to any production. While the guidelines clearly state that a guest conductor can enter the country relatively easily to work, in one recent example, a musical company was forced to apply three times and consult an immigration lawyer before it got the go-ahead to bring in a behind-the-scenes director from Europe for a few weeks. Similarly, when the Alberta Ballet wanted to bring in a set builder on a short-term contract, they were subject to the same application process as a

multi-national employer seeking to fill a longer-term position. There is confusion across the country about why some TFWs are exempt and others aren’t. Fashion models entering Canada on short-term contracts, for example, are subject to the TFWP application process, unlike performing artists. Not surprisingly, delays created by the additional paperwork are causing companies to take their photo-shoots elsewhere. When deciding between a Canadian location and a foreign model, companies have told the media that they would rather risk losing the venue than the model. As a result, dozens of Canadians who could be employed on a photo-shoot are losing work, too. The federal government says it put these restrictions in place to ensure Canadians were first in line for jobs. And, indeed, there have been reports of Canadian workers displaced by lower-paid TFWs in some service-sector jobs. Ironically, the rules have had the opposite effect in the arts and entertainment industry, where the regulations erode the industry’s capacity to bring in world class artists and employ Canadians. To cover the full cost of administering the program, the government introduced a fee for applying to bring in a TFW. It was set at $275, and then raised to $1,000. This is an onerous cost for a small arts organization, which must pay as much for a few days’ or weeks’ work as a multi-national company pays for a worker coming to Canada for a year or more. Should such different circumstances cost the same amount to administer?

Controls are required and costs are inevitable, but they should be proportional to the national interest. Providing more exemptions, fast-tracking applications and reducing the paperwork would be a huge relief for smaller organizations with limited resources. It makes sense to waive the application process when the actual duration of the work is short and reduce the application fee where the potential loss to the economy and Canadian cultural scene is greater than the $1,000 cost. If the fee cannot be waived altogether, a sliding scale fee structure could ease the financial barrier for those wishing to employ a truly temporary, temporary foreign worker. For example, when a foreign worker is needed for less than six months, the fee could be $250, or when the worker is to be hired for six months to a year, a $500 fee could be charged. If the arts and entertainment community can’t attract the best international talent because of rigid TFWP rules, it’s Canada’s cultural scene that loses. The changes were made in June to fix some big problems with the existing TFWP. The government has been clear it will not make further changes until after the next election. The arts and entertainment community can’t wait that long. Let’s loosen these inflexible rules before they do permanent harm.

To the Editor: New Brunswick’s recent election campaign featured starkly different visions of how to lift the province’s moribund economy. The governing Progressive Conservatives saw unlocking shale gas resources as a job and wealth creating opportunity while the Liberals, playing on fears instilled by anti-fracking protestors, promised increased infrastructure spending. In a choice between building wealth and building debt, frack-fearing voters chose debt. Just days after newly-elected Liberal Premier Brian Gallant vowed to institute a moratorium on natural gas well hydraulic fracturing, neighboring Nova Scotia introduced legislation prohibiting fracking, despite a report by a government-appointed commission that acknowledged unlocking shale gas resources could bring billions of dollars into the province’s economy and recommended establishment of baseline monitoring with effective and enforceable regulations. The two Atlantic Provinces have joined Quebec in shunning a technology that has one of the most impressive industrial safety records ever compiled. In the United States, where some 1.2 million wells have been hydraulically fractured over the past 60 years, the Bureau of Land Management and the Environmental Protection Agency have found no supportable evidence of fracture induced water contamination. Here in Canada, over 200,000 wells have been fractured in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan with a similarly sterling record. News that the three eastern provinces are shunning technology which helps generate the very funds they receive through Canada’s Equalization Program is stirring an undercurrent of resentment in the West. Letters on editorial pages echo an “OK in our back yard, but not in yours” sentiment while a “no frackingno cheque” quip went viral on the internet. Adding fuel to these sentiments is opposition to Trans Canada’s critically needed Energy East Pipeline that would move oil sands production through Quebec and New Brunswick to international export markets. Led by environmental NGO’s, the same groundless apocalyptic rhetoric used to foment opposition against hydraulic fracturing is being adopted against Energy East. Matthew Abbott of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick alleges, “The Energy East pipeline would put thousands of fishery jobs a risk”. Greenpeace campaigner Patrick Bonan pronounces “Quebec should not have to assume the risks . . . which only serve the interests of oil companies.” Here again, the message that Westerners hear is “Keep your dirty oil, just send us the cheques”. Of course, Canada’s equalization system doesn’t actually involve “have provinces” sending cheques to “have-not” provinces. But in practice that’s what happens, through the federal treasury. The system ties equalization grants to per-capita “fiscal capacity”. Unlocking shale gas and oil sands resources results in a higher fiscal capacity for B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. That higher per-capita fiscal capacity means higher tax payments to the federal treasury which are redistributed to lower fiscal capacity provinces including Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Without natural gas and oil sands revenues, those funds simply wouldn’t be available for redistribution. What would that mean to the three anti-fracking, anti-oil sands provinces? Quebec’s fiscal plan for 2014-15 projects a deficit of $2.4 billion. This is after a $9.3 billion equalization payment. Without that payment, the provincial deficit would mushroom to a whopping $11.7 billion. New Brunswick projects a deficit of $400 million (before Gallant’s new infrastructure spending program) while its equalization payment t is expected to be $1.7 billion. Without that payment, its deficit would jump to $2.1 billion. That means one-quarter of all spending would have to be borrowed. Nova Scotia projects a deficit of $300 million and an equalization payment of $1.6 billion, so without the payment the deficit would jump to $1.9 billion. One fifth of all spending would need to be borrowed. Without those gas and oil funded equalization payments, the fiscal position of these three provinces would clearly be disastrous, leaving no choice but to make dramatic cuts to healthcare, education and social programs. Perhaps then, gas well fracturing and the oil sands might not seem so awful anymore. Gwyn Morgan is a retired Canadian business leader who has been a director of five global corporations.

It’s time to dust off those old cookbooks

One of the oddest couples I have ever met was after one of my live cooking performances at a local fair. A woman in the distant crowd was watching the tail end of my show and approached me afterwards. “I can see by watching you that you love to cook.” She said. “I can see that the crowd was inspired by your show, but my husband and I, we never cook. You could even go as far as saying that we hate to cook, so we never do it. You may think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. We never cook. We eat in restaurants, get take-out, fast food, and buy microwave prepared dinners.” I was shocked, to say the least. My first thought was “why are you telling me this?” Then she went on and asked me “I bet you can’t guess what

we use our oven for?” I shrugged my shoulders and she said “to store cookbooks. It’s wasted space for us, so we use it as a bookshelf.” This was the oddest thing I have ever heard. “Why do you even own cookbooks, if you don’t cook?” I asked. “Doesn’t everybody?” She replied. Good point. She’s right. Everyone has a collection of cookbooks, either large or small, and apparently even people that don’t cook. I am assuming that they must have received them as gifts? We all get into cooking ruts at times in our lives and our meals in the meantime suffer from lack of stimulation - you’re not alone. However, right there in your own home, you have an assortment of cookbooks just waiting to be opened, pondered

Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com through and used. I have a challenge for you. At some point over the next seven days from reading this column, I challenge you to open up one of those cookbooks. Not one that you received as a gift, but one that you purchased yourself with your hard earned money. I want you to relive the moment when you bought it. The moment when you are flipping through the pages with excitement and motivation, saying to yourself “I gotta have this book” as you lay your cold

hard cash down on the counter. Find those recipes again, and this time, make them. Motivation can easily be stimulated from outside sources (such as cookbook recipes in this case), but true motivation comes from within you. You have to take that first step, the steps that follow, and the final step to make something happen. If you are truly discouraged with the same old meals you are making, you will find a way to make this happen. Many cookbooks

simply just gather dust because we either forget about them, or more likely find that there is too much emotional pain to learn new recipes and we stick with what we know... it’s easier. I guarantee you this however, if you take the steps, and keep trying (even through times of possible mistakes or failures), you will succeed. Your meals will become new again and with any luck you will find happiness in your new found inspiration that has been there with you, waiting for you, all along. Take this success and let it inspire you to keep learning new recipes. Chances are you have a kitchen and plan to continue to eat the rest of your life, so this will not be a waste of your time. I could at this time

also make the suggestion of searching the internet for recipe ideas, but I think that with your vested interest in the cookbooks you have already purchased, you will be more driven (and in the end, more fulfilled) to create this victory yourself. Please feel free to email me (dez@chefdez.com) to tell me about your cooking adventures in this challenge. I would love to hear from you. Happy Cooking!

RCMP issue warning for those who speed A warning to aggressive drivers – you may find yourself on the wrong end of a traffic ticket in October. “Aggressive driving is quite common for us to see,” said Sgt. Colin Glas with the Regina Police Service. “In one recent incident, we pulled over a driver going 149 km/h

in a 50 km/h zone.” That traffic stop ended with a Criminal Code charge of dangerous driving, but it could have been so much worse. “We see it far too often, where people have no concern for other road users, they’re tailgating, passing vehicles on the right, zipping in

between different lanes of travel,” said Sgt. Glas. “In all reality, they’re not getting to their destination faster, all they’re doing is creating more road hazards for other drivers. People need to drive with common courtesy, and remember that the slower the speed, the more time you have to react

to a threat.” That’s why aggressive driving is the traffic safety spotlight for the month of October. Police across the province will be on the lookout for violations such as: · speeding · driving too fast for road conditions · running red lights · not stopping at

Agriculture month for October Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has proclaimed October as Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan. The month will focus on profiling opportunities in agriculture to youth. “Agriculture is one of the largest economic engines in Saskatchewan, accounting for about 10 per cent of the provincial gross domestic product and generating more than

50,000 jobs in the province,” Stewart said. “As harvest continues and school gets underway, October is an ideal time to share with youth the opportunities that this thriving industry has to offer.” With a growing global demand for food comes high demand for well-trained individuals to work in the agriculture industry. To attract youth to a rewarding

career in agriculture, the ministry has launched a new web presence at www.saskatchewan.ca/thinkag that profiles real Saskatchewan people employed in the industry. In addition to interactive career features, this site offers scholarship information and teacher resources. In addition to the website, a thinkAG Facebook page has also

been launched to give current and potential ag employees a forum to discuss careers in agriculture and what the industry has to offer. During the month of October, teachers, career counsellors, producers and industry are encouraged to get involved in spreading the message that a job in agriculture can lead to a challenging, rewarding career.

Minimum wage sees increase ing the minimum wage, youth, students and other minimum wage earners will have more disposable income and improve their standards of living.” This spring, the Government of Saskatchewan passed regulations to index the minimum wage following Cabinet consideration. The indexation formula will be calculated using changes in the Consumer Price Index and the Average Hourly Wage in Saskatchewan for the

previous year. Changes to the minimum wage must be announced on or before June 30 of each year and will take effect October 1 of the same year to give business owners the ability to plan for the change. Along with the increase to minimum wage, the Government of Saskatchewan has also significantly reduced the tax burden on minimum wage earners by increasing the basic personal, spousal and child benefit

and creating the Saskatchewan Low Income Tax Credit. Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $18,650 of income. Saskatchewan also has the highest tax-free income threshold in Canada for a family of four who pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $48,320 of income. For more information on minimum wage, please visit www.saskatchewan. ca/work.

We’re looking for your input! This fall, the Sunrise Regional Health Authority will be appointing members to Community Health Advisory Committees, which will provide input and suggestions for promoting better health in their communities. Health Advisory Committee members meet at least twice yearly, and have direct lines of communication with the Sunrise Regional Health Authority.

Effective October 1, 2014, Saskatchewan’s minimum wage will increase to $10.20 from $10 per hour. Since 2007, Saskatchewan’s minimum wage has increased by 28.3 per cent, with six increases from $7.95 to $10.20 over the past seven years. “Saskatchewan’s economy has been growing and it is important that the minimum wage increases as well,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “By increas-

World vision campaigning for children

around the world face unimaginable challenges every day, not just as a result of natural disasters but due to political strife, illness and a basic lack of necessities. Right now, two billion people are living in poverty. But there is great hope, thanks to individuals, groups and businesses all over Saskatchewan who sponsor children through World Vision. From Aberdeen to Zeon Park, Buena Vista to Yorkton, Saskatchewanians have reached out a helping hand to a child in need. Like Barry and Stacey Lang, a fatherdaughter sponsorship team from Estevan, who recently travelled to Tanzania to meet their

sponsored child. Or Christy and Colin Zacharias from Martensville, who sponsor five children and have travelled to Zambia and Malawi to experience first-hand the difference they are making. Or 22-year-old Anson Liski,

whose family business, Modular Storage in Saskatoon, sponsors 40 children. World Vision Sponsorship gives a child the chance to go to school, drink clean water, eat healthy food, access medical care and live in a

safe environment. The Saskatchewan Campaign for Children runs October 1 through November 30. To sponsor a child, visit worldvision.ca. World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to

working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Visit our News Centre and sponsor a child at worldvision.ca

Disability strategy offers support

Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison proclaimed October as Disability Employment Awareness Month. “This month, especially, we will be encouraging Saskatchewan employers to hire people with disabilities in their businesses,” Harrison said. “A shortage of skilled labour continues to be one of the largest constraints to continued economic growth in this province. Strategies to support the employment of people with disabilities and their caregivers are critical to ensuring that Saskatchewan’s labour market needs are met.” Disability Employment Awareness Month seeks to bring awareness of the individual, economic and societal benefits of diversifying Saskatchewan’s workforce by employing people of varying abilities. “Our government is committed to making Saskatchewan the best

place in Canada for people with disabilities to live,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. “Employment of people with disabilities plays a valuable role in making this vision a reality.” “Employment opportunities in the community can often be the first step for an individual toward achieving independence and other goals,” Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres Executive Director Amy McNeil said. “Employers who actively hire people with disabilities help make this possible. Proclaiming October 2014 as Disability Employment Awareness Month will increase awareness about the importance of hiring people of all abilities to help create a more diverse workforce.” For more information about employability for people with disabilities, visit www.sarcsarcan.ca/ pages/deam.

Fire prevention week marked

An important fire safety program is in place in communities across Saskatchewan throughout Fire Prevention Week October 5-11, 2014, and extending over the entire month. I am writing to make all parents aware of the initiative and how they can help. Fire departments are working with teachers to educate children about the importance of properly functioning and installed smoke alarms. Watch for “Test and Replace Your Smoke Alarm” homework kit in your child’s backpack, which includes a home fire escape plan and “Test and Replace” Fire Safety Checklist. The packages are designed to work in tandem with the website www. safeathome.ca/testandreplace. It is critical to know that working smoke alarms installed correctly throughout your home, double the chances of surviving a catastrophic house fire. To ensure your families safety from fire, you MUST TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARMS MONTHLY to confirm they are in proper working order. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced with fresh ones at least once per year. Also, smoke alarms do not last forever. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old it must be replaced. Outdated

Drive safe, plan ahead

The Thanksgiving long weekend is fast approaching. CAA Saskatchewan reminds all motorists to plan ahead for their long weekend travels to visit family and friends. “We know that there will be an increase of motorists on our roadways travelling to be with their loved ones,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan. She added, “That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and ensure your vehicle is roadworthy. We know that in Saskatchewan the weather can change quickly which can impact driving conditions. Be prepared: adjust your driving behaviour to the changing environments.” Here are a few more safe driving tips: • Ensure your vehicle is in top working condition with a full tank of gas and properly inflated tires to help with fuel efficiency. A poorly maintained vehicle can use up to 50 per cent more fuel. Under-inflated tires also reduce safety and fuel efficiency. • Check your vehi-

cle’s belts and hoses. Just a little attention to these vital components can ensure your car is operating at its best. • Also check the brakes, fluid levels and battery. Today’s vehicles have more electrical demands than ever and batteries play an essential role in meeting those demands. • Allow extra time for travel and let others know your route and expected time of arrival. • Check weather and travel conditions before heading out. If conditions are poor, delay travel if possible. • Before heading out, visit www.getgasprices.ca for the lowest gas prices in Saskatchewan communities as well as in other provinces. • All occupants must wear seat belts. Ensure children are properly secured and that car seats and booster seats are installed correctly. • Don’t speed. It’s dangerous, and driving above 90 km/hr decreases your fuel efficiency exponentially. • Slow to 60 km/hr in construction zones and when passing tow

trucks and emergency vehicles on Saskatchewan highways. Failing to do so is not only unsafe, but could also cost you a fine. • Remember; the use of hand-held communications devices behind the wheel is banned in Saskatchewan as well as in all Canadian provinces. It’s unsafe and monetary penalties can be steep. • Eliminate driver distractions such as eating, drinking, adjusting radio dials and smoking. • Don’t drive if you’re overtired. Stop for regular breaks. • Appoint passengers to be the navigator and cell phone user and let them check for directions and make phone calls or texting so the driver can focus on driving and not become distracted. • Don’t drink and drive. Appoint a designated driver. For automotive help visit a CAA Car Care Centre or an Approved Auto Repair Service facility. Additional driving tips and information is available at caask.ca/ driversafety.

Standing Together in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

If it's on sale at Sears, it's on sale at Sears Yorkton

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. Take steps to protect yourself against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by initiating healthy lifestyle changes, beginning monthly breast self-exams, and talking to your doctor about the appropriate clinical breast exam and screening mammogram schedule for you.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 9, 2014 - Page 13A

October declared children’s vision month Children’s Vision Month occurs annually in October and is dedicated to raising awareness of the impact undiagnosed vision problems can have on children’s learning and development. It is an initiative of the Canadian Association of Optometrists and the 10 provincial optometric associations. One in four schoolage children has a vision problem that, if left untreated, can affect proper learning and development. During Children’s Vision Month, Doctors of Optometry Canada are reminding parents of the importance of regular eye exams to help ensure their children reach their full potential. At birth, your baby can see blurred patterns of light and dark. During their first four months, your child’s vision becomes clearer, colour vision begins to develop, and their eyes start to

work together. By the time they’re six months old, your baby will acquire eye movement control and start to develop eye-hand coordination skills. Doctors of Optometry recommend that babies have their first eye examination between six and nine months of age, to determine their eyes are healthy, eye movements and alignment are developing properly, and the eyes are focusing together. Visual development continues into the preschool years – depth perception, eye-hand coordination and visualization skills are all developing at this time. It’s important to remember that your child is not likely able to identity that their vision is abnormal, as they have no point of comparison. Parents want their children to do well at school. And since 80 per cent of learning is through their eyes, your child’s vision is crucial to

a good school experience. A school-age child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. For school-age children, several different visual skills must work together so they can see and understand clearly. • Clear vision in the distance and up close • The ability to maintain focus accurately at any distance • Good focusing flexibility to allow rapid change from one distance to another • Binocular vision skills, including control of eye position, movement and tracking • Peripheral vision and eye-hand coordination • Colour vision determination If any of these visual skills are lacking or impaired, your child will need to work harder and may develop headaches or fatigue. Often, the increased visual demands of schoolwork can make greater

demands on a child’s visual skills, uncovering a vision problem that was not apparent before school. You can’t assume your child has healthy eyes because they have passed a screening test. Children may have one eye that is doing most of the work, hiding the fact that the other eye is not functioning properly. While it’s impossible to know if a child’s vision is developing normally until a proper exam is conducted, there are signs of potential vision problems that parents can watch for: • Headaches, sensitivity to light, squinting, rubbing the eyes or excessive blinking • Covering or closing one eye or tilting the head to look at things • Holding objects too close • Avoiding books and television • Trouble reading, including losing place or tracking words with the finger, omitting or con-

fusing small words • Irritability, short attention span or performing below potential Working with your Doctor of Optometry, from the initial eye exam to the final eyewear fitting, will ensure your child receives accurate, safe and quality manufactured materials that are best suited to them. Your child’s prescription is only one piece of information that will be used to determine the final composition of their eyewear. During the normal process of selecting and being fitted for new eyeglasses, your Doctor of Optometry will take into account a number of things to ensure your child’s eyewear is customized to give them clear and comfortable vision while ensuring they look great. • When choosing their first pair of glasses, it’s important that your child likes the style and colour of the frames being selected. A child

will be more inclined to wear their glasses every day when they are happy with their appearance. • For a child to keep their new glasses on, the frames need to provide a comfortable fit. The frame should be level and properly positioned. The first priority of lens selection for children is safety. Lens materials such as polycarbonate and Trivex carry significant impact resistant qualities in addition to providing UV protection. Your child’s prescription may necessitate lens features such as aspheric surfaces or high index materials to keep them thin and light. All lenses should be provided with a good quality scratchresistant coating and in some cases anti-reflection coatings, although the latter will require frequent cleaning to ensure the maximum benefit and are more of a necessity as the child gets older or the prescription increases.

Publicly funded flu clinics to begin next week The publicly-funded influenza vaccine will be available through public health clinics across the province, and from some physicians and Nurse Practitioners beginning October 14, 2014. The free vaccine will be offered to all Saskatchewan residents six months and older. “We want to ensure people in our province have easy access to the flu shot and stay healthy during the flu season,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Getting

vaccinated is a simple action that can save lives.” “We strongly encourage people to get the flu vaccine early in the season,” Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Flu can spread quickly, and can cause serious illness. The vaccine is a safe, effective way to protect yourself and those close to you.” The flu vaccine is recommended to everyone six months and

older but is particularly important for people at high risk of serious complications from influenza: children under five; pregnant women; adults 65 and older; nursing home residents; people with a chronic health condition; and caregivers and contacts of people at high risk. Detailed information about clinic locations, dates and times is posted on health region

websites. People can also contact their public health office, call HealthLine 811 or visit www.saskatchewan.ca/ flu for clinic schedules and to find the nearest clinic. “Injectable influenza vaccine will be available to the public as soon as clinics open,” Dr. Shahab said. “We also expect to be able to offer the nasal spray vaccine (FluMist) again this year.” At present FluMist

nasal vaccine is expected to be available in health regions by the week of October 20. Families with children aged two to 17 may wish to attend clinics starting October 20th onward. This year all health regions are adopting a policy that will help better protect the health and safety of patients and staff in health care facilities. Health care staff will be required to choose to either get the influenza vaccine or

wear a mask in patient and client care areas during flu season. Visitors to health facilities will also be asked to wear a mask if they have not been immunized. More information on the policy is available at www.health.gov. sk.ca/influenza-flu. For information on influenza symptoms, prevention and treatment visit www.saskatchewan.ca/flu or call HealthLine 811.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 9, 2014 - Page 15A

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. Wow! What a trip! Sometimes things go a bit sideways, but then rights itself as we go along. Anne and Nels were kind enough to let us use their holiday trailer, rather than paying through the nose for a hotel room in Minot. We parked the trailer in our yard and the plan was to load it on the Sunday and Monday, to be ready for an early departure on Tuesday morning. In the past when we were planning to go away, either the pigs or the sheep would bust through the fence, delaying our departure as the fence had to be secured and the animals contained. Well, true to form, I received a phone call on Monday morning advising me that the horses had gotten out and were nibbling on leftover oats in their field, which was about a mile away. I couldn’t get them as I’m still limping and walking with a cane, so I had to call Marion at her work. The problem being that I had driven her to work in the morning, so I had the truck, but she got our daughter Sue to hustle her home. A saddle, bridle, a halter and a lead rope were loaded into the truck and away we went to collect our wayward horses. Of course Marion and the horses are very close, so as soon as they saw her, they came running over. Spur stood still while she saddled him, and Vaquero more or less haltered himself. Marion rode Spur and led Vaquero back to the farm. We secured the paddock, which means that they are confined to about 3 acres for now. All this delayed the loading of the trailer, and by the time we were hitched up and ready to go it had become 12:30 p.m., and we had about a

six hour drive ahead of us. We had a map and printed directions courtesy of Google. I have to confess that I fit the description of a typical male to the tee! As we are driving south Marion digs out the letters that I had received from Norsk Hostfest regarding the R.V. park, which stated that we had to have a 150 feet extension cord, and that we had to arrive by 7:00 p.m., or risk not getting into the R.V. park. She asked me if I had read that, and I had to confess that I just skimmed over it, and missed both those pertinent items. I told her that I’m a very resourceful person and would find a way to circumvent both those items. We had to stop in Yorkton to lay in a small amount of provisions from Superstore, and then away we went. We got held up for more than half an hour at Dubuc due to road construction, and tick tock went the clock as it seemed that we were going to get very close to 7:00 p.m. by the time we got to Minot. We crossed the border without any problems and fueled up at the first town for half the price of what we pay in Canada. On we went with a lead foot on the gas pedal and an eye on the wrist watch. The wiper was working overtime as we were driving through what seemed to be a solid sheet of water, combined with water spray from oncoming traffic! I was hot footing it to the Minot city limits, when it all of a sudden dawned on me that we were in a different time zone. We had already missed the 7:00 p.m. deadline! Oh well, “onwards you old Viking,” I thought and Marion read me the directions as we navigated through the city to the State Fair Grounds. Lo and behold the gate was open! According to the letter I had received we were to hook up in the orange zone, which we found after driving around a

bit. It looked almost like we had phoned ahead and reserved a spot right by the power pole, so I backed the trailer into place in pouring rain, and poor Marion had to be outside to make sure I didn’t hit any of our neighbours. The power cord we had reached the pole easily, and voila we were in business. Oops! We (I) had forgotten to fill up with water! Marion set about to find out where the dumping and water station was, and after walking around for half an hour in the rain, she found it about 200 feet from us, but our hose was not long enough to reach it. She grabbed some pots and anything else she could use to carry water, and kept it up for the five days we were there. What an experience! Our table was set up in the bookstore among some of the other authors, and there was an Author’s Corner set up where I would speak twice a day, telling the audience about my book. I had my printer ship 100 books directly to Norsk Hostfest as per the request by the organizers, and on the last day five hours before the end, we were sold out! First time in Norsk Hostfest history that an author had sold out! But, we had a book left in the back seat of the truck, and when we stopped for breakfast in Kenmare U.S. on the way home, we got chatting with a couple of young oil workers while in the line to order our food, and they bought the very last book! Ole and Lena had invited Lars and Kari for supper on a Sunday. When Lars and Kari arrived the found a piece of paper taped to the door. It read: “Ha Ha fooled you! The invitation was just a joke!” Lars looked at that and took out his pen and wrote on below: “Ha Ha the joke is on you guys, ‘cause we were never here!”

Compensation for victims increased

The Government of Saskatchewan is enhancing the Victims Compensation Program to better respond to the needs of victims of violence. The Victims Compensation Program assists victims primarily with immediate expenses after a violent crime and during the criminal justice process. The changes, which will apply to incidents occurring on or after October 1, 2014, will be made through amendments to The Victims of Crime Regulations, 1997, and related policies. They include: increasing the maximum compensation for victims from $25,000 to $100,000; increasing the maximum compensation for funeral expenses from $3,500 to $5,000; adding offences involving motor vehicle-related deaths to the list of offences for which immediate family members may receive compensation

for counselling; introducing two new categories of compensation to provide counselling to homicide witnesses and child witnesses of domestic violence; and compensation for wages lost by a parent or other person accompanying a child victim, or an adult victim with a disability, to medical or counselling appointments related to their victimization. “These enhancements are the direct result of feedback from clients and consultation with our partners in the victims services community on how our compensation program could be improved,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “We’ve taken this feedback to heart, and are pleased to offer significantly improved supports for victims of violent crime in this province.” This is the largest enhancement of the Victims Compensation Program since its inception in 1992.

The YORKTON LIONS CLUB is a community minded service club. Over the last few years we have donated over $250,000 back to our community under the headings of: Youth, Community, Seniors and Education. A small percentage of our funds leaves our community for International and National projects. Along with other LIONS CLUBS we also contributed to Lions International Disaster Relief programs (as a point of interest more funds have come back to Saskatchewan than have been sent out), Lions Dog Guides (in this part of Saskatchewan there are 3 working dogs), Lions initiatives for the Blind in Canada, the new Canadian Lions initiative for juvenile diabetes early detection and the new Canadian Lions initiative for measles. We are always looking for new projects that are in addition to our existing LobsterFest, Wine Festival, Radio Days and now the Magic Show. Our next Fund Raising project is our Grey Cup Pool tickets. The tickets are $5 each. Your support is always appreciated!

We are proud to serve our Community! See yorkton lions on Facebook or email us at: yorktonlions@sasktel.net

Yorkton school vandalized, charges pending Yorkton Municipal RCMP were called to a complaint of a break and enter and mischief to property that occurred at St. Mary’s Elementary School located on the 200 block of Independent Street in the City of Yorkton. At approximately 1:05 am on October 2, 2014, a lone suspect gained entry into the school and caused a significant amount of damage to the school’s interior. Initial investigation has revealed that the suspect entered through a window. The suspect caused damage to items in a janitorial closet, threw books in the library, smashed several religious statues and computers in a computer room and smashed a trophy case, throwing the trophies on the ground. He exited the building, where members located and arrested him. Alcohol is considered to be a factor. Charges are pending against a

19-year-old male from the Cowessess First Nation. Kamsack RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in solving an animal shooting that occurred on the Cote First Nation during the evening of September 13th, 2014. A domestic horse was shot and killed and left in a pasture near Tourangeau Line. If you have information about this or any other crime, please contact the Kamsack RCMP at 1-306-5425560 or your local police service. If you wish to remain anonymous Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477, *8477 on SaskTel, text TIP206 plus your message to CRIMES (274637) or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com If your information leads to an arrest or a case being cleared, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.00.

World vision campaigning for children

World Vision has launched a 60-day Saskatchewan Campaign for Children, with the goal of inspiring 1,500 Saskatchewan residents to join their generous friends and neighbours to help the world’s most vulnerable children, families and communities. Over 17,000 people in Saskatchewan already sponsor more than 20,000 children through international development organization World Vision Canada. But the need is great, and tens of thousands of children around the world still need sponsors. Saskatchewanians have seen their share of adversity this year. But millions of families around the world face unimaginable challenges every day, not just as a result of natural disasters but due to political strife, illness and a basic lack of necessities. Right now, two billion people are living in poverty. But there is great hope, thanks to individuals, groups and businesses all over Saskatchewan who sponsor children through World Vision. From Aberdeen to Zeon Park, Buena Vista to Yorkton, Saskatchewanians have reached out a helping hand to a child in

need. Like Barry and Stacey Lang, a fatherdaughter sponsorship team from Estevan, who recently travelled to Tanzania to meet their sponsored child. Or Christy and Colin Zacharias from Martensville, who sponsor five children and have travelled to Zambia and Malawi to experience first-hand the difference they are making. Or 22-year-old Anson Liski, whose family business, Modular Storage in Saskatoon, sponsors 40 children. World Vision Sponsorship gives a child the chance to go to school, drink clean water, eat healthy food, access medical care and live in a safe environment. The Saskatchewan Campaign for Children runs October 1 through November 30. To sponsor a child, visit worldvision.ca. World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Visit our News Centre and sponsor a child at worldvision.ca

St. Mary’s School was vandalized last week.

AVAILABLE BACHELORETTES Looking for someone you cannot wait to see again! My 50’s are wonderful. I travel & no more mortgage payments. The kids are grown & I am in excellent health. Just this summer I went on a Caribbean cruise & loved it. I have a trip planned for Yellowknife for me & my sister who lives in Florida, celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary in March. I am a social person, & being a professional in my field, I am invited to many functions & events. It would be wonderful to have a man who enjoys that kind of thing, but I do like to stay at home too. I have always had a thing for a man with a motorbike. There are many places in Canada I would love see on a road trip.

So, life has changed for me since my husband passed away. At 49 I would like to meet a nice person. I come from a large farming family with many, many aunts & uncles, cousins, sisters & a brother. I am an executive, so my work is great. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful career and will retire early thanks to some good financial decisions that I made.
