Plan unveiled – Good Spirit Division looks to the future By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

YORKTON CITY COUNCILLOR Bob Maloney is the first candidate to put his name forward for the position of city mayor. Local residents will head to the polls in October. Election Day is October 24. See more on Page 3.

Election bells chime in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer After this fall’s municipal election Yorkton will have a new mayor. Current Mayor James Wilson has announced his intention to run for city council rather than seeking re-election as mayor, citing new responsibilities with his job at SaskTel as the reason for the change. While being the mayor is a demanding role, Wilson says it’s also one which he was able to handle with his previous position in SaskTel. However, with the new position, which will require a lot of travel and time away from the city, Wilson says he had to consider what was best for the people of Yorkton. “Moving into a new role with SaskTel with new responsibilities, I felt a true onus of a commitment to the people of Yorkton to carry on the role of mayor would be difficult, and would not be fair to them,” he said late last week from the steps of city hall.

– Wilson won’t be seeking mayor’s seat The decision was made more difficult due to the accomplishments of the city in the past three years. He says the term has been a good one, with the city seeing a great deal of growth and prosperity, as well as working through a natural disaster to come out stronger and better able to handle future problems. A major part of the success of that term, Wilson says, was due to the strength of city council, and he says that he hopes someone puts their hat in the ring for the mayoral race. Four of the six members were in attendance at the announcement, with two missing due to work commitments. Continued on Page 3.

The Good Spirit School Division (GSSD) is planning for the future, and to that end has unveiled it’s strategic plan for the next five years. Dwayne Reeve, director of education, says there are five strategic priorities in the plan. He says the most important priority is student learning and wellbeing. That, he says, is the guide for the rest of the plan. Other priorities are equitable opportunities, people engagement, sustainable infrastructure and accountability for all. “When you look at it, you see that our success is our students and our people that work with them on a daily, and that’s what we’re focusing on,” he comments. The plan was developed with the involvement of students, staff and the public at large, beginning in January 2011. Reeve says that the consultations revealed what the division did well, and where it needed to improve on. Some changes will be implemented in the first year as part of the overall plan.

After the success of academic coaching plans in the school, the division has added an additional math coach and literacy coach to the division. As well, there will be a universal implementation of the leveled literacy intervention that has worked well in some schools already, he states. There will be a divisionwide nutrition policy implemented as well. There will also be a review of the Grade 10-12 programs to make them more engaging and valuable to students. There will be sound field amplification in the K-1 classes, something Reeve says promises immediate results. He also promises changes in communication, and this will be revealed later. Part of the changes to communication will involve the way that bus cancellations are handled by the division, something Reeve admits has been a consistent sore spot for community members and needs to be addressed. There will also be efforts put forth to make the division more transparent and efficient in the allocation of funds. Continued on Page 2.

Homeless help sought

With the disparity gap widening, the Government of Canada is seeking new partners to help tackle homelessness in Saskatchewan. The announcement was made Tuesday by Dr. Kellie Leitch, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “Our government is giving a hand-up to Canadians with housing needs and is helping to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty,” says Dr. Leitch. “We are proud to support organizations that are committed to addressing housing and homelessness issues in their communities.” The Government has launched a request for proposals to identify two organizations to administer HPS Rural and Remote Homelessness funding and Aboriginal Homelessness funding in Saskatchewan. The selected organizations will understand the communities they serve, and have the capacity to take on a leadership role in making funding decisions to address homelessness in Saskatchewan. From April 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014, the chosen organizations will distribute over $1.6 million in the targeted funding to other organizations in Saskatchewan for the development of housing and support services. The application deadline is October 31, 2012. Continued on Page 2.

Tewksbury speaks about universal challenges By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer A strategic plan is implemented in the hope that it will lead to success in the future. When the Good Spirit School Division unveiled its strategic plan, it chose someone who knows a bit about

planning for success to help bring it in. Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury, fresh off of the experience of acting as the chef du mission at the London games, spoke about how he was able to succeed in sport and in life. In speaking at the

Homelessness in Sask. Con’t from Page 1. This announcement took place at the Food Banks of Saskatchewan, which is receiving $137,120 in funding through the Rural and Remote Homelessness funding stream to purchase a refrigerated truck to transport perishable foods to 18 community food banks. For more information on the Homelessness Partnering Strategy or on how to apply for funding, please contact the Homelessness Partnering Strategy representative in your region. The Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) is a unique community-based program aimed at preventing and reducing homelessness by providing direct support and funding to 61 designated communities across Canada. The HPS took effect April 1, 2007, with annual funding of $134.8 million for two years. In September 2008, the Government committed to investing more than $1.9 billion in housing and homelessness programs over five years, until March 2014. This includes a renewal of the HPS until March 2014. The HPS provides structures and supports that help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness achieve self-sufficiency and full

participation in society. This model seeks to address homelessness by working in partnership with the provinces and territories, other federal departments, communities and the private and not-for-profit sectors. The HPS encourages a housing-first approach, which recognizes that housing stability is an important first step in addressing homelessness, and is necessary for the success of other interventions, such as education and training, life skills development or management of mental health issues. Request for Proposals Until October 31, 2012, the Government of Canada will be accepting proposals from organizations in Saskatchewan to identify two organizations that will to administer $774,660 in Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) Rural and Remote Homelessness funding and $872,155 in Aboriginal Homelessness funding, for the period of one year, between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014.

event, Tewksbury related his experiences in training for the Olympic games and in working with today’s athletes, and how they relate to succeeding in other areas, such as planning for a school division. “You’ve got to keep raising the bar, which is part of the point of a strategic plan. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to get the same result, so it’s important to come together and stretch and aim high. We did that with the Olympic team this summer, we just missed our goal, but we wouldn’t have been that high if we didn’t aim that high,” he says. The message of the day was to raise the bar and the standards, have a powerful vision, to be responsive and not just be married to a plan, adapting as situations change, moving boundaries and get people to generate enthusiasm about what they do and share it. Tewksbury says that he has twenty-four traits for success, chronicled in his book Great Traits of Champions, but he chooses the five most relevant for a given audience. “It’s really fun for me because I see exactly where the Good Spirit School Division is, and what might be relevant from my experience,” Tewksbury says. He says his message is a universal one, since the

solutions and even the mistakes an athlete might make in training are the same as doing something which at first appears to be completely different. “I love the universality of human beings, that there are certain things we can all relate to. Achievement and leadership, the idea of making a

difference, and what it takes to make that happen, it’s a universal experience.” It was an appropriate touch that Tewksbury was introduced by young swimmers from the school division, and he says that he appreciates how difficult it must have been for the young athletes to get

on stage. “It was so amazing to have two young swimmers from the school district introduce me, and I really feel for them. You know how nerve-wracking it can be to speak in front of your peers, let alone teachers and twelve hundred of them,” he concludes.

Maloney first to put name forward By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer When current Mayor James Wilson announced that he would be running for council in the upcoming municipal elections, he said he hoped a long time councillor would step up to announce their candidacy. It didn’t take long for that to happen. City councillor Bob Maloney has announced his intention to run for Mayor. Maloney says he is running because he has the experience of being a three-term city councillor. He believes he will be able to help the city continue on the path that it’s currently on. He says that he believes it has been one of the best run cities in the province, and he wants to keep it that way. He endorses the current council in the race. “We’re in terrific shape, the city is poised for growth, we’re in a posi-

tion to move forward. I’m certain that’s what we’re going to see in the next four years. As a mayor you would like to work towards that, and if I’m fortunate enough to get elected and have the solid team I think we will have, we won’t have any problems in that regard. We’re moving forward now, and I don’t think we’ll be able to slow that down,” Maloney says. The experience of working for the city, both as a member of city council and as part of other boards and organizations, is something Maloney says will give him an advantage as a mayor. He says he will be able to provide leadership for the city, and work with everyone to make it a better place. “I think the most important thing is working with people, whether it’s other city councillors or members of the community. You can’t be con-

frontational, you have to listen to other points of view and sometimes they will change your mind.” Maloney admits that the next four years will see some challenges, and he says that he anticipates infrastructure being a big issue for the city. “I think there are some challenges in the coming years. We’ve had a number of infrastructure studies underway, we need to look at things and we’re going to improve in the city. The dollars are going to be scary, but we have to bite

it off one dollar at a time, just like eating an apple, and be consistent in how we approach it,” he suggests. While he intends to initially keep his current position at CTV, Maloney says that being the mayor will be his main priority, and if he cannot handle maintaining both positions he will become a full-time mayor. He notes that as mayor he would no longer read news, though he may continue to handle community interviews. Yorkton heads to the polls on October 24.

Sunflower slated

FALL SPECIAL

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Sunflower Arts and Craft sale was just a small show in 1979, starting on the grounds of the old Victoria school. Since then it has grown into an event that fills the Gallagher Centre with a wide variety of different artists and artisans. The show is sponsored by the Yorkton Arts Council, and dedicated volunteers put on the show annually. This year, there will be 150 vendors, a mix of new faces and seasoned exhibitors such as Zach Dietrich and Wendy Parsons of Moose Jaw, who have been part of the event since its inception. The booths themselves will run the gamut, including pottery, photography, fibre arts, jewelry, edible items, metal work, and so much more. The show will take place on Friday, September 7 from 5 to 10 and Saturday, September 8 from 10 to 5. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and free for pre-schoolers. The show is always the first weekend after Labour Day.

GIVING BACK – The Canadian Cancer Society is offering congratulations to Dana Prystupa on her RBC Regional President’s Community Leadership Award. Dana is a dedicated member of the Kinette Club of Yorkton, volunteering in a number of areas, one of which is heading up a team that have taken part in both of Yorkton’s Relay For Life events. In addition to the recognition for her commitment to improving her community, Dana received a cheque for $1,000 which was to be given to a charity of her choice. Pictured above is Dana (on the right) presenting the cheque to Janet Sharpe, manager of the Parkland Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“This council is a fantastic council, people talk about how in history this is one of the best councils the city has ever seen, and it’s witnessed throughout our community. I think there will be some interest there from long-term councillors who have not been mayor... I trust in due time that one will come forward,” Wilson says. The management of the city was also singled out for praise by Wilson, and he says they were a major part of the city’s success. “City Manager Dave Putz along with all of his department heads and the management are recognized throughout this province as being the one of the best at leading our community. And I must add that the commitment and conscientiousness of all their staff, who do a wonderful job of making Yorkton a great place, certainly made my job a lot easier,” Wilson says. While there has been talk of Wilson taking aim at a federal or provincial seat, he says it is too early to make those decisions, and right now he’s focused on the municipal election and moving into his new role. Wilson also says that whether he is the mayor or not, he is committed to the city, and wants to be involved as much as he can be. He would like to thank the people of Yorkton both for their support over the past three years, and for making the city the great place it is today and continues to be.

Taking the ‘lean’ approach to health It’s about streamlining, it’s about improving processes and procedures and bottom, line, it’s about improving the lives of Saskatchewan residents. The province has announced it is moving forward with a plan to transform the health care system and achieve better health for residents, better care for patients, better teams of health care providers and better value for taxpayer dollars. Saskatchewan was the first province in Canada to proceed in implementing Lean concepts across its entire health care system. “Saskatchewan is uniquely positioned to introduce major, meaningful health care reform, with many supportive partners involved,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan says. More than 200 Lean projects are reportedly underway in Saskatchewan health regions, saving taxpayer dollars and boosting efficiency. Saskatchewan’s Lean improvement efforts focus on strategic priorities including the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative, primary health care, safety and shared services. Lean is also the foundation for Releasing Time to CareTM (RTC), a program that has been implemented in provincial, regional, and community hospitals across the province since 2008. “Adopting Lean is the next logical step in the quality improvement journey we have been travelling in Saskatchewan’s health care system over the past 10 years,” Health Quality Council CEO Bonnie Brossart comments. And Yorkton physicians agree. “I recently participated in a Lean 3P process to look at designing a primary health care clinic,” Yorkton family physician Dr. Phillip Fourie says. “We had patients, physicians, other providers and support staff all focus on quality. This process helped us remove unnecessary waste in the system and come up with solutions to provide an environment for patients to receive optimal care.” More than 40,000 people work in Saskatchewan’s health care system, and more than 800,000 individuals interact with Saskatchewan’s health system every year. We want the care we need, without wasteful spending. If the lean initiative can help us achieve the optimum end result, then let’s proceed full steam ahead!

Drop your weapon, or wait, is that your hand? Seriously? He’s a three year old boy, not a terrorist. He’s hearing impaired and this is his form of communication. I see nothing offensive or frightening about it. What a silly, silly world we live in at times. He’s like every other child on the school playground. He runs, he climbs the monkey bars, he laughs and kicks the soccer ball. The only thing that sets three year old Hunter apart from his classmates is that he can’t hear. Rather than speak his name, he signs it. Not a problem – right? Well apparently it is. Little Hunter’s school has told his family he needs to change the way he signs his name because his hand gestures “may” look like guns. What?!? Reportedly, Hunter “signs” or hand gestures his name by crossing his index finger and middle finger and then wagging his hands. The school deems this as inappropriate. School policy forbids any “instrument” that “looks like a weapon.” We’re talking about the hand of a three year old. How could that possibly be mistaken for a weapon? Remember the days of playing “Cowboys and Indians?” There would be no question that this is no longer appropriate or “politically correct,” but

hands played the part of guns then. It was just harmless child’s play. This situation isn’t even intended as play, it’s a little boy’s means of communication. And correctly pointed out, Howard Rosenblum, of the National Shannon Deveau CEO Association of the Deaf, says, “A name sign is the equivalent of a person’s name, and to prohibit a name sign is to prohibit a person’s name.” Has this school got nothing better to police than a simple hand gesture? The family is apparently trying to have the ruling changed, legal action may even be in the picture. While one would hope it wouldn’t have to come to that point, I’m on the side of the family. As one opinion offered on this topic says, “This is a good example of insecure people making a mountain out of a mole hill, and it sets a horrible example for children.... Some people need to get a better perspective on reality and put this into proper context.” Rules are in place for good reasons but there are – or there should be – exceptions to every rule. If ever there was a case where an exception should apply, this should be it.

The way I see it... Column

Yorkton does not appear to like hair very much A while ago, someone noticed that in Russia, there is a pattern in the hair of their leaders. The pattern alternates between bald leaders, and those who have hair, and it has gone back and forth since the 19th century. It continues to this day, where the bald Vladimir Putin and the hairy Dmitry Medvedev have been alternating stints as head of state. The pattern has become a source of comedy in the country, where the pattern has been well known for decades. In Yorkton, when it comes to mayors, there is a much less obvious pattern, and that is a general trend towards candidates with less hair. If you look back at the city’s mayors back to the 80s, you’ll notice that there is precisely one with a full head of hair, that being current Mayor James Wilson. Otherwise it’s a line that’s mostly lacking in follicles. Three years ago, Yorkton didn’t have much choice in the hair department, as both candidates, Wilson and Randy Goulden, had ample hair. No matter who people chose, they were going to break with tradition. It is also interesting to note that Wilson’s hair is significantly more closely cropped than Goulden’s. While I wouldn’t quite credit a haircut for his successful mayoral bit, it was as close as Yorkton was going to get to continuing the long-standing pattern for a mayoral race.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger In other political arenas, hair isn’t really an assent either. Our MP, Gary Breitkreuz, is bald. Our MLA, Greg Ottenbreit is not, except he does shave his head once a year as part of Brayden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer. The preference towards bald, or at least a willingness to go bald for a good cause, is a recent development in those arenas, however, as both of those men replaced people with thick heads of hair. It is only in the mayoral race that there’s a clear baldness pattern that has been emerging over decades. This isn’t to lessen the achievements of the many mayors this city has had in the past, just to say that it has been a pattern that has existed and been con-

sistent over the years. Of course, those who might be interested in placing bets on who will take over the mayor’s chair might be interested to know that the first candidate to announce is also largely bald. It remains to be seen whether any additional candidates will be similarly bereft of follicles, and whether or not the least hair will win this time around. The tradition runs counter to Canada as a whole, where being bald seems to be viewed as something of a disadvantage. In fact, as I type this, the only clearly balding provincial premier is Nova Scotia’s Darrell Dexter, whose website strategically puts a graphic over the top edge of his head in one shot. In the territories, we have Bob McLeod, but otherwise there is decent coverage. Federally it’s the same story, with a lack of bald leaders. While the late Jack Layton was famous for being both bald and mustached, current federal NDP leader Tom Mulclair is among the hairiest politicians working today. Yorkton has been going against the grain in its insistence on voting for the least amount of hair possible among its candidates, or at least was for many years. Will there be a return to the bald tradition or has the population been convinced that a mayor with hair can still benefit the city? We’ll find out in late October.

Romney is risking campaign attacks Giving the gift

To the Editor:

Well, I certainly got that wrong. On the subject of Mitt Romney’s likely running mate, I had previously speculated on three possibilities. Paul Ryan wasn’t one of them. Bottom line, it was a matter of misreading Romney’s capacity for risk-taking. I’d bought into the idea of him as a super-cautious technocrat – if you like, the consultant-inchief. But, on reflection, that was too simple a view. Romney didn’t accumulate his vast fortune by eschewing all risks. He made it by doing prodigious amounts of homework, and then taking calculated risks. Even so, many of the ventures failed. But enough of them came in big to make all the difference. And as political decisions go, choosing Ryan certainly involves a degree of risk. Or put another way, safer options were available. For one thing, it’ll be tougher for Ryan to deliver his home state than would have been the case for any of the three possibilities (Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Virginia Republican governor Bob McDonnell and Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman) mentioned in the June column. After all, Wisconsin hasn’t gone Republican at the presidential level since Ronald Reagan’s backto-back victories in 1980 and 1984. Further, Barack Obama carried the state by 14 points in 2008, so a Republican win there would require a huge turnaround. In fact, a transformation on that scale would likely mean a national Romney landslide, in which case Wisconsin wouldn’t be critical. Then there’s the way in which Ryan, in his congressional capacity, has openly tackled the question of reforming Medicare, which is

the giant U.S. government health insurance programme for seniors. Launched in the mid-1960s, Medicare has vastly expanded in the intervening decades. Pretty much everyone now concedes that the current cost trajectory is unsustainable. However, getting specific about solutions is considered politically dangerous. Among other things, seniors pay close attention to politics and have a higher electoral participation rate than that of younger demographics. But danger notwithstanding, Ryan has been active on the file for several years, proposing solutions and subsequently refining them. The latest iteration contemplates offering future seniors two options. One option would be to stay with traditional Medicare. The other option would provide government premium-support to buy a health benefits package from a private insurer. Hence the accusation that Ryan would “end Medicare as we know it.” At the same time, Democrats are generally reluctant to talk about the fact that Obama himself plans to cut Medicare. Indeed, as liberal columnist – and Obama supporter – Ezra Klein acknowledges, “both Ryan and Obama envision the same long-term spending path for Medicare. The difference between the two campaigns is not how much they cut Medicare, but in how they cut Medicare.” Ryan proposes to do it by injecting a significant element of competition. By offering the option of premium-support – which includes allowing seniors to buy a less expensive package and pocket the difference between the support payment and their actual premium – the hope is that normal competi-

tive processes will put a brake on costs. Obama’s approach is more topdown. New entities like the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) would determine what benefits to pay for and how much to pay for them. But the disagreement is about means not ends. Both Ryan and Obama aim to curtail annual Medicare spending growth to GDP plus 0.5 per cent. In an ideal world, these different approaches would make for a constructive debate. However, the world of politics is different. There it becomes a matter of competing narratives. Or to put it more crudely, who will win the demagoguery war. Democrats will talk about Republicans gutting Medicare and “throwing granny off the cliff.” In turn, Republicans will talk about Democrats raiding Medicare to pay for ObamaCare and subjecting seniors to IPAB-administered “death panels.” Given Ryan’s visibility on the issue, Romney’s choice runs the risk of raising his own campaign’s exposure to Democratic attacks. In return, he gets a running mate who is personable, articulate, knowledgeable, and perfectly capable of going to battle. We’ll soon see how the gamble plays out. But whatever way it comes down, there’s a noteworthy postscript. With the Romney-Ryan team consisting of a Mormon and a Roman Catholic, we have a Republican presidential ticket without a Protestant presence! To borrow a thought from Bob Dylan, the times are certainly changing. Pat Murphy, Troy Media Corp.

Gov’t years late with investment rules

To the Editor:

After trashing federal science projects across the country, killing 3,000 environmental reviews, gutting the Fisheries and Parks departments, muzzling scientists, mangling the National Research Council and politicizing the National Energy Board – it’s no wonder Canadians were taken aback with Stephen Harper’s recent claim that he relies on impartial scientific assessments in making decisions about pipelines. Yeah, right! Similarly, last week it was surprising to hear him admit that a $15-billion bid by a state-owned Chinese corporation

(CNOOC) to buy-out Nexen (a Calgary energy firm with Saskatchewan roots) could trigger a new set of rules governing foreign investment. Since the beginning of the resources sector sell-off that started on Mr. Harper’s watch (e.g., nickel in Sudbury, steel in Hamilton, aluminum in Quebec, etc.), many Canadians have worried that too much domestic control in too many industries – including some major former “champions” – is being lost. It came to a head in the potash case in 2010. At the last minute, the government reversed itself to block an Australian takeover of Saskatchewan’s potash industry, but only

after it became obvious the deal would be highly unpopular politically. At that time, the government admitted current rules governing foreign investment were not up to snuff, given new world market dynamics in the 21st century. Liberals called for greater clarity in defining “net benefit to Canada”. We asked for a more accountable, transparent review process, so Canadians can know what’s “on the table” in any negotiating, and have some input? The role of affected provinces also needs more certainty. If any proposed transaction is approved “with conditions”, those conditions must be completely

public, and easily enforceable. And what about “reciprocity”? Can Canadians invest in the foreign jurisdiction of the takeoverbidder just as readily as they can invest in Canada? How will Canadians be assured that the purchased-entity will function on commercial market principles, and not as an instrument of foreign politics? The Conservatives promised to deliver better rules “with alacrity”. We’re still waiting. And other energy targets (Talisman? Cenovus? Encana?) may be on the hitlist. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

We play an important role, let’s keep it up

Humanity is about to eradicate polio after three decades of continuous efforts to immunize the children of the world. Thanks to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), the total number of polio cases decreased from 350,000 in 1988 to 650 in 2011, and to only a little more

than 100 since the beginning of 2012. Polio resurgence around the world after so many years of effort would be disastrous. We would probably then lose forever the chance to eradicate the disease... Canada has played an important role in the polio eradication over the last decade, being the fifth largest donor to GPEI. I do

wish the Harper government will reverse its decision to cut in this important health initiative September 27, at the United Nations General Assembly, and will maintain its $35 million contribution per year to the GPEI until polio eradication is achieved. Bruno Marquis, Gatineau ,QC.

Your chance to get involved with airport input To the Editor: Recently, the members of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce received an email with the link to a survey being conducted by Perimeter Aviation

Inc about the provision of regularly scheduled flights between Yorkton and Winnipeg. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, I urge the mem-

bers to each take a few minutes from their busy schedules to complete the survey. The greater the response to this survey, the better able Perimeter Aviation Inc will be able to assess the

market needs. Your assistance in completing the survey will be greatly appreciated. Ron Irvine, President, Yorkton , Chamber of Commerce

of education To the Editor: The weather’s beginning to cool off and vacation time is slowly coming to an end, which only means one thing: it must be back-to-school time. Many youth and parents have begun their routine back-to-school shopping as well as selecting courses and other necessary preparations for the new year. Although it’s often not the most anticipated time of year for students, there are millions of kids around the world who aren’t able to receive an education at all. Children in developing countries and living in poverty often dream of going to school, a wish that doesn’t always come true. In many countries, girls are denied the opportunity to go to school and are forced to stay home doing chores and caring for younger siblings. In other small villages, there are no schools for children to attend at all. Some existing facilities available for children are lacking basic supplies like pencils, paper or even desks. Organizations like World Vision offer people the opportunity to help these kids receive an education. Sponsoring a child www.worldvision.ca/child gives them the chance to go to school, receive supplies and also helps to develop their entire community. Through the World Vision gift catalogue, people can specifically help young girls get schooling, as well as help furnish classrooms and provide materials for arts and music programs. Visit www.worldvision.ca/gifts for more information about how you can help. This year, when getting ready to go back to school, remember that not everyone has the same opportunity. Children need to learn to grow and flourish and with your help, this can be more than just a hope or dream, but a possibility. As George Washington Carver said; education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. Erin Farrar, World Vision Canada.

What’s happening at Good Spirit Acres? It’s hard to believe that our summer is almost over. Our golf course is still in great shape thanks to Guy and his crew of greenskeepers, and our community and golf course saw a lot of activity here... thanks to the beautiful temperatures that we enjoyed for much of the summer. Due to lack of staff, the restaurant is closed for the rest of the season. The 6th annual Sandi Cripps Memorial Golf

Tournament was held on a beautiful Saturday in July. There were 42 golfers including family and friends from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Mandee Kulaway from the Cancer Society in Yorkton also golfed with us this year. We raised $7,843 with pledges and raffles. Following the golf, we all enjoyed a supper of beef on a bun, followed by presentation of prizes for everyone. The winning team was Shannon Scott, Nelson Scott, Alf Dittrick and

Ralph Moore... and they were proud to wear their pink vests! Jessica Cripps brought in the most money in pledges over $500! Golf Course Activities that are coming up are: • Sat. September 8, Ducks Unlimited Golf Tournament and Auction. • Sun. September 9 Toilet Seat Tournament at 2 p.m. – Scramble Golf followed by supper at Spilchen Meadows at 5 p.m. All residents welcome to attend.

Hamburgers, drinks and dessert will be supplied by the Community Association. Please sign up for the golf at the clubhouse. • Thurs. September 13 Senior Golf Club wind-up. Golf will start at 1 PM. Following the golf we will have our short annual meeting and supper. Please sign up for the golf and/or supper at Clubhouse.

Sudoku Puzzle of the Week

Camping for the grieving If you had the opportunity to go camping this summer – you were blessed. We have some friends who loved to go camping each summer as a family. Grandparents to grandchildren all took part in the joyous event. Together they purchased a 5th wheel camper. Then a few years ago their son was killed in a car accident. The camper was put away and no one looked at it for years. That was the end of camping as their heart and soul were not in the mood to camping. This year our friends got that camper out of the mothballs and they all went camping again. They had a great time. It was different because their son was not alive to enjoy the sights and sounds of their camping experience. They remembered some by gone days of camping when their son was alive. This summer they shared many memories, tears and a great deal of laughter. Camping gives us the opportunity to be out in the fresh air and enjoy God’s wonderful creation. Seeing all the sights and sounds of nature helps us forget our grief for a few moments and allows the body and mind time to start the healing process. There is healing we find in nature that soothes the grieving heart. We see how both birth and death are interwoven into God’s eternal plan of

FROM MOURNING TO JOY... Column by Margaret Anne Yost nature. Camping offers us a slower pace of life. Our day is our own and we can do as we please with no set agenda. We may plan to get up early just to enjoy a sun rise. In the outdoors we can breathe in the fresh air and it really allows us to get away from the routines of our daily life. Fun should be the top priority for the camping event. It is okay for us to laugh and play and enjoy our camping experience. It is not disrespectful to the memory of the person who died if we laugh, play and enjoy ourselves. The memory of your loved one will be with you always. You will not forget them. In camping we can focus on nature, living and healing. There is a very close connection between healing and nature. If you ever have the opportunity to go camping please plan to take in the event. Plan ahead. Maybe a camping vacation will be something you and your family will enjoy next year. “Look deep, deep into nature, and you will

better understand you own grief. Margaret Anne Yost nursed for 35 years and journeyed with many clients who were dying. I completed two units of Clinical Pastoral Education at the Regina General Hospital. Returning back to school I completed classes from the Red River College in the areas of Gerontology, Bereavement, Death and Dying. I was enrolled eight years in lay ministry training, and graduated as a (LPA) Lay Pastoral Assistant. For twelve years I worked in bereavement support at a funeral home. At present I am employed as an Interim Parish Worker at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Melville Sask. I also enjoy my role as homemaker and full time grandmother. If you are grieving at this time and you would like to share your story or comment on what you have read, I may be reached at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Melville 1-306- 728-3971 and please leave a message. I will return your call.

SUDOKU RULES The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. Completed puzzles are always a type of Latin square with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single digit may not appear twice in the same 9x9 playing board row or column or in any of the nine 3x3 subregions of the 9x9 playing board. This week’s puzzle is very hard. See the solution on Page 7.

My wife and I were very saddened by the tragedy that occurred at the end of the Preeceville Centennial Parade. Our sincerest condolences to the family. It is difficult to pen a lighthearted story with the thoughts of the little boy on my mind and the impact the tragedy have on all the people involved, so please bear with me. I was actually part of the Preeceville Parade as the driver of the Etomami Valley Riding Club’s float. I felt like a prince sitting in the driver’s seat and doing the “royal wave” to the people that had lined the parade route. The RCMP were there as well, which reminded me of the story of a young farm boy from Preeceville that was pulled over for speeding by the Regina Police. As the officer was writing out the ticket, the young man kept staring at the officer’s face. The officer looked at the young man and asked him why he was staring at his face. “I’m not staring at your face,” answered the young lad, “I’m just wondering how the circle flies buzzing around your face got here.” “What are circle flies?” asked the officer. “Well,” said the young lad, “we usually only see them in the barn where they fly in circles around a horse’s behind,” said the farm boy. The officer gave the speeding ticket to the young lad and said: “I trust you’re not comparing me to a horse’s behind!” “Oh no Sir – not me,” said the young man, “but you can’t fool them circle flies!” As some of you may know, we moved to Preeceville, Saskatchewan in 2007 with the idea of becoming hobby farmers and live off the land so to speak. We have had a lot of fun doing this, still to this day, although we have downsized quite a bit as we have realized that our bodies are not as young as our minds think that they are.

When we accepted an offer from some friendly Albertans to buy our big farm, we bought a “right size” acreage by Hazel Dell. The Preeceville Centennial celebration spurred me to research more of Saskatchewan’s history. Saskatchewan is an old western province. The Capital Regina was founded in 1882 and was given the name by Princess Louise in honor of her mother Queen Victoria. Saskatoon which is the largest city in Saskatchewan, has history as far back as 1754, and was founded in 1903. The Province of Saskatchewan boasts of over 250 museums throughout the Province commemorating the pioneers that built our great Province. Saskatchewan also has science centres, art galleries, mineral spas, river cruises, dinosaur digs to name a few. Two music festivals, the world famous Craven Country Jamboree and Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. We don’t have a NHL hockey team, but we do have one of the best teams in the CFL. Go Riders Go! Of course the Province is known world-wide for the great fishing in the northern lakes and the abundance of big game, with outfitters ready to serve any foreign hunter. The western heritage is celebrated in the province with Powwows, Western Days and Rodeos. Of course there are Dude Ranches available for those that would like to experience the old cowboy way of life. I know of one such outfit that also had a gift shop with a large display of western items. A trusty old cowboy was on hand to answer any questions for the patrons. A middle aged couple from Europe were staying there, and the wife was admiring the cowhides that were on display in the gift shop. The woman asked the old cowboy what the cowhides were used for. The old cowboy hitched up his pants, shifted the tobacco in his mouth and said: “Well ma-am, we keep cows in them during the day….”

YORKTON TERRIERS training camp was held at the Farrell Agencies arena as a long list of young hopefuls looked to crack the Junior A roster before the 2012-13 SJHL season. An abundance of Yorkton products were in attendance looking to make the hometown team.

Yorkton Terriers host intersquad game By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer With the SJHL season less then three weeks away, the Yorkton Terriers hosted their training camp with an impressive list of hopefuls looking to make the 40th rendition of the Junior A club. After a early playoff exit at the hands of the rival Melville Millionaires last season the Terriers are looking to rebuild towards getting back to the SJHL Finals , which was last achieved in the 201011 season. 44 players made up the intersquad scrimmage to end training camp with eyes set on the final roster with a mix of returning players, young prospects, and new faces looking to claim their spot on the final roster. Three fifteen year olds earned spots in the final day of training camp as Grady Bjork, Matthew Perkins and Yorkton product Matt Kustra rounded out the group of 1997 born players at the camp. Kustra led a trio of Yorkton born goalies that played for Team Orange as Kustra, Harvest

goalie Spencer Bombior and returning Terrier Kale Thomson all looked to impress and crack the hometown club. Other Yorkton talent included Elias Giannoulis, and brothers Dylan and Jeremy Johnson. The trend of young players at camp was evident in the fact that only four players in the 1992 age group were at camp, giving the Terriers a squad that has the chance to grow and improve over the next couple of years. The 1992 group includes Jeremy Johnson, Nathan Murray, Brendan Poncelet, and Zak Majkowski who will be relied on to provide veteran leadership for the Terriers. The game opened up with Team Orange taking a 1-0 lead into the first period before opening the second period up with a goal to extend their lead. Team Black bounced back with two straight goals to tie up the game before Team Orange regained the lead to make it a 3-2 game. Team Black then scored three unanswered goals, including an empty netter to seal up a 5-3 victory in what was an

entertaining scrimmage. Both sides took advantage of each others mistakes as costly turnovers in the defensive zone led to multiple goals for both teams as players work out the early season kinks and develop chemistry with one another. Dylan Johnson had an impressive showing in his first tryout with the Terriers notching a goal and an assist for Team Black as well as nearly scoring a second crashing the net hard in his bid to crack the pre-season squad. Quality goaltending was on display in the first period as both teams held their ground defensively in a 1-0 period that say steady defensive play before things opened up, especially in the third period where a significant amount of extra scoring chances were had by both teams. Cuts will be made before the Terriers embark on their two week preseason before dropping the puck on their 2012-13 season at home against the Weyburn Red Wings on Friday, September 21 at the Farrell Agencies Arena.

Yorkton Atom Gridders shine on road By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After a loss in their home opener, the Yorkton Atom Gridders put it all on the field on Saturday afternoon in an impressive fashion. The Gridders dominated the Weyburn Ravens in a 60-36 shootout victory in Weyburn. With 96 combined points put up by the two teams, fans were given the treat of seeing a high scoring contest as both teams can probably walk away satisfied with their offensive performance. However the Gridders simply just had too much firepower for the Ravens defense to handle despite having home field advantage. The second half of the game saw all of the players contribute to the points up, as the Gridders bench joined the party with a scoring parade of their own to close out the Ravens on the road.. “It truly was a total team effort,” according to Offensive Coach,

Jason Boyda. Weyburn opened the scoring early before Yorkton answered back with a touchdown of their own within the game’s first two minutes before taking the lead and holding it for the remainder of the game. The first half saw both teams put up big points as the Ravens managed to score 29 points on the Gridders defense in what was a less then desired first half effort. The Gridders one two punch of Dylan Lepowick and Garion Miller in the backfield did most of the damage on offense, providing too much running attack for the Ravens to handle. The Gridder offensive line led by; Daniel Balysky, Justin Fookes, Spencer Welke, Richard Richards, Colby Ross, Tannon Keltie and Keegan Halliday were a huge part of the Gridder success on the ground. Jordan Rusnack provided composure and leadership at quarterback for the 60 point performance and even ran in a

touchdown himself. The Gridder defense had some difficulties containing the Raven ball carriers in the first half, but after some crucial adjustments, they were able to hold the Ravens offense. Logan Danylko had a great performance on defense with a fumble recovery and a tackle for a loss. Steven Smith and Carter Pawliw also did an excellent job containing the outside running game. After allowing 29 points in the first half the Gridders conceded only seven in the second half, allowing the offense to take over the game in what turned out to be a lopsided victory With the win the Gridders improve to 2-1 with both their wins impressively coming on the road. The Gridders look to continue to improve their record and notch their first home win of the season this Saturday when they play the Regina Canadians. The game kicks off at eleven a.m. at Kinsmen Century Field.

Rapid fire rants: Labour Day Classic, soccer, NFL preview Another busy week in the world of sports means the second of what is sure to be many winter installments of Ruttig’s Rants: Rapid Fire Edition is on its way. The NFL season kicks off this weekend and while the Super Bowl champion and my childhood team of choice, the New York Giants, take on the Dallas Cowboys during the week, it is always the first Sunday of the NFL season that gets the most enjoyment out of me. Every team is a contender on the opening week of the season and there is finally an unlimited amount of sports to watch on the television, which is perfect once the cold weather of the fall/winter creeps in. My fantasy team has been picked and you can be sure I will have a proline or two hoping that my mediocre gambling knowledge pays off to something other than a few dollars to the Western Canadian Lottery Corporation. This particular NFL season proves hard to predict, the New Orleans Saints have a missing head coach and starting linebacker due to their suspensions for laying bounties on opposing players, the Pittsburgh Steelers are getting old, the Baltimore Ravens have the aging issue of their AFC North rivals with a questionable quarterback in Joe Flacco. The defending champion New York Giants admittedly got hot at the right time last year and were mediocre for long stretches of the season, and as much as some people want to believe the Denver Broncos will be contenders with Peyton Manning, I just can’t see him coming back from injury to win a Super Bowl with the squad the Broncos have. With that being said the Green Bay Packers, who

were upset at home during the playoffs last year seem like they will once again be the favorites in the NFC. As for the AFC I would think that the New England Patriots would once again have the best chance to come out of the AFC East with the combination of Tom Brady and his receivers and the genius of Bill Belichick at head coach will give the Patriots the best chance of reaching the Super Bowl. But don’t be surprised if any of the aforementioned teams reach the big game in what will be a competitive and tight NFL season making for many entertaining Sundays. Back in Canada the CFL’s marquee regular season event, the Labour Day Classic filled television screens on the weekend as the typical matchups were covered on TSN. Hamilton and Toronto continued their Battle of Ontario, Edmonton and Calgary also carried their provincial rivalry, and Montreal and B.C. continued their tradition of being the game nobody gives a damn about. However he big ticket is obviously the Labour Day Classic, which has become a tradition that rivals some college football rivalries in terms of intensity, pageantry, and pure alcoholism and partying spirit as Taylor Field houses the Roughrider faithful and whatever Bomber fans crazy enough to make the trip to Regina. Sure there is the Banjo Bowl the following week, but the Labour Day Classic is undoubtedly the biggest weekend on the Saskatchewan sports calendar year in and year out and showcases how much our province really does care about our football team and gives the Roughriders a sell out every season. Lately the rivalry has served as a turnaround for Saskatchewan as last

Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig year a Labour Day/Banjo Bowl sweep sparked a winning streak for the Riders that gave their playoff hopes one last breath before falling back to earth. This season the Riders snapped a five game losing streak with a 52-0 victory that should make Bomber fans question whether firing former Riders coaching staff member Paul LaPolice was a good idea after all. The Riders will be very heavy favorites to follow up with a win at the Banjo Bowl in WinnipeWhether or not the Riders can continue their play against teams not named the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won’t be determined for a couple of weeks, but the extra wins over their hated rivals sure will help come the end of the season. Across the pond, the other type of football was the big news of the week as the transfer window closed in many of Europe’s top leagues, making player moves of contracted

players nearly impossible until January. Think of the NHL Free Agent Frenzy but then add to the fact that clubs will legitimately throw $50 million Euro’s at nearly anyone without rhyme or reason just because they have a rich Saudi owner or a Russian oil tycoon running the club. That is what happened last summer when Chelsea paid $50 million Euro’s for striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool only to see him go through one of the worst scoring droughts of a top club striker ever. This year’s deadline day insanity saw Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg pay a combine $70 million Euros for Portuguese league players Hulk, and Axel Witsel in a move that has made them automatic Champions League contenders. Other notable craziness included American born Clint Dempsey seeing his refusal to play for Fullham pay off as he was transferred to slightly better Tottenham and for-

Friday followed by a return match at BMO Field in Toronto next Tuesday. Canada hasn’t qualified to the World Cup since 1986 and hasn’t passed the second round of the group stage since 1998. With Honduras looking like the favorite in the group despite their nil-nil draw at BMO Field in the summer, Canada’s two matches against Panama are vital to advancing to “The Hex” the name given to the CONCACAF third round. With three guaranteed berths into the World Cup as well as a play-in spot for fourth place in the third qualifying round, Canada needs to take advantage of being placed in a group that does not include the United States or Mexico and get the job done against Panama to grow the men’s game. With a balanced squad of young MLS/European players and CMNT veterans like Julian De Guzman, Dwayne DeRosario and Atiba Hutchinson giving Canada its best squad in ages, there is hope. With the support and pride the Canadian women garnered it would be nice to see some backing in the media and from Canadian sports fans as this group of canucks look to qualify for the world’s biggest sporting event and the hardest tournament in the world to make, let alone win.

mer EPL top goalscorer Dimitar Berbatov go from Manchester United to aforementioned Fullham for just $5 million Euros. The fact that just four years ago Berbatov went the United as the highest transfer payment in EPL history at $30 some million Euro’s shows just how financially mad soccer is. The fact that a successful club like Arsenal can’t retain its players simply because it won’t run at massive debt to do so is unnerving to the integrity of the game itself.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, September 6, 2012 - Page 15A

Brandon McCallum cracks UBCO soccer roster By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After a successful youth career with the Yorkton United Football Club and a hard year on the UBCO practice roster, Brandon McCallum’s efforts have paid off with a spot on the UBCO Heat’s 2012-13 roster for its upcoming soccer season. Wearing #20 and playing left back, McCallum has had to deal with adjusting to the university game as well as changing positions from his usually midfield/ wing area in Yorkton to the defensive backline for the Heat as well as a year on the practice roster. But after an extra year of hard work and training, McCallum broke through and etched his place on the UBCO team despite an increase in level of competition according to McCallum. The UBCO Heat are

planning to jump from the second tier of university sports to the CIS and the Canada West conference in 2014, making them one of the best second division teams in BC and making this year’s squad even tougher to make with an influx of new players and a team that gets progressively better as it makes the jump year by year. McCallum said the jump from youth soccer to the university program was a huge step up and that he was slightly overwhelmed in year one and that after a year of training with the team as a redshirt he knew what he was getting into heading into training camp. McCallum added that “I was more relaxed, composed and confident for this season, and it paid off.” McCallum also mentioned that the three week preseason for August was a grueling one, with four two a day

training sessions really putting a grind and toll onto the body, making the work he put in the gym/track and on the pitch back in Yorkton pay off. The UBCO Heat mainly plays teams from Vancouver and Vancouver Island with a few teams from northern B.C. and its interior and has a two game a weekend schedule which will likely create a fair amount of playing time for everyone on the roster. The UBCO Heat finished third in the league last year and manager Dante Zanatta expects them to win the league this year according to McCallum. McCallum’s debut in collegiate soccer will kick off with two home openers in Kelowna this weekend as the Heat take on Kwantlen University Polytechnic and Douglas College from Vancouver in Saturday/Sunday fixtures to kick of the 2012/13 campaign.

LOCAL YUFC PRODUCT Brandon McCallum cracked the UBCO Heat final roster for the 2012-13 season.

Terriers open preseason with 6-3 home win over Wolves By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After a hard weekend of training camp the Yorkton Terriers opened up their 2012 preseason with a 6-3 win over the Waywayseecapo Wolverines of the MJHL Tuesday night at the FAA. With a solid roster of Yorkton born players for the first preseason game, including a line of brothers Jeremy and Dylan Johnson, the Terriers looked much sharper in their first preseason game than in the intersquad game. With the added intensity of facing

an opposing team, the Terriers countered a Wolverines goal early in the first period with two of their own including a Jeremy Johnson go ahead goal to end the first period. From there the Terriers never looked back and ended up earning a much deserved 6-3 win, which should impress head coach Trent Cassan. The Wolverines provided a tough, physical challenge as both teams seemed eager to start the season with tough bodychecking being on display from the opening whistle. The Wolverines looked like they would be able to challenge for a road

win early with what was a lucky bounce of a goal after crashing the net hard and creating a turnover in front of the net that deflected in front of the goalmouth and in. However the Terriers answered back with quick passing and skating in the neutral zone leading to many odd man rushes and scoring chances that led to the Wolverines goalie having to make some spectacular saves to keep the game close in the first period. In the end the Terrier offensive attack was simply to much to handle and the Wolverines will have to adjust if they want to challenge the Terriers when they play in the final preseason game of the year in Way-Way on September 16. The local talent was really on display as the aforementioned Jeremy Johnson goal was matched by brother Dylan Johnson who had a goal and an assist as well as Elias Giannoulis who added a goal of his own in the six Terrier goals on the evening. D. Johnson had another impressive outing in his bid to make the regular season roster as he was

all over the ice on the wing, creating chances in front of the net and using his big body in the corners, showing what he can bring to the table in his first preseason appearance. The Wolverines had local talent of their own as Colton Maclean looked to impress for the MJHL team. The goalies for the preseason opener were Carson Bogdan and Shane Blomquist with Kale Thomson being among the many healthy scratches who should figure to be in the roster for the next preseason game as the Terriers head to Swan River for a road game against the Stampeders. The next Terrier home preseason game is Sunday, September 9 at six p.m. as they host Swan River before having away and home games with Melville Monday/Tuesday then closing out their preseason schedule with a rematch with the Wolverines on September 16 on the road. The 2012/13 SJHL season will kick off with the Terriers hosting Weyburn on September 21 and Humboldt September 28 before going on a two game road trip.
