Showcasing what’s available for disabilities By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer One of the struggles for people with disabilities is finding what services are available for their needs. The Disability Resource Awareness Fair was about showing what is out there in the community for people with disabilities to live better lives. Claire Poole, Employment Services Supervisor at Partners in Employment under the Saskatchewan Abilities Council, one of the event organizers, says they wanted to celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities, aimed at children in the school divisions and the community at large. “We are really looking at a wide cross section of organizations to support a wide array of abilities and disabilities. We’re looking at individuals who have cognitive and intellectual disabilities, we have individuals who have physical disabilities or seniors as well.” The goal is to get people aware of what is avail-
able in Yorkton, and Poole says that the event is one that needed to happen, something that was immediately apparent in the first of two sessions during the day, directed at students Good Spirit School Division and Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division, with which the Abilities Council has a partnership. “It’s crucial for it to happen, and I think it was demonstrated in the morning, when we had children come with the school personnel with them. A lot of the personnel are not aware of what the children can access when they have disabilities. We are on a steep learning curve, we need people at a young age to get individuals with disabilities connected, so that when they transfer out of school into adulthood they already have those services in place.” Supports were a big part of the fair, but it was also focused on fun, with groups like Special Olympics highlighting their programming and Assessippi Ski Hill show-
ing how they can support people with disabilities learning how to ski. Special Olympics took the afternoon to have a demonstration of different sports for the students in the region. The fair was also an opportunity to look at gaps in services currently provided in the region, and see where improvements need to be made. Poole uses the example of autism resources. “Right now, in our region there is a lack of resources for autism. So we wanted to bring [Autism Resource Centre] here and have the community be able to have access to them.” The goal is to show resources available to the community, but also to have community feedback as well, because that’s the most effective way of determining what resources are needed. “Identifying gaps is huge as well... The more that we can bring that to the community that we have these gaps, through these events, we can promote to agencies like ARC that we need to develop
services in rural areas.” It was not only about showing the resources that are available, but also the difference they make in people’s lives. Melanie Hitchens, keynote speaker at the event, spoke about the difference supports have made in her life. Born with a bilateral hearing impairment, Hitchens is now working to become a nurse. She says it’s important that people know how supports can help them get out in the community and achieve their goals for their career. “I know I’ve used those supports for schooling, and it’s really amazing how technology is evolving.” She says that it’s great to see supports that are available and the options people have, but she also says that it’s also a matter of attitude combined with those supports that have helped her succeed. “Strive for the sky, reach for your goals and succeed in them. Use the 90-10 rule, ninety per cent positive and ten per cent negative. Focus on the positive.”

SnoRiders unveil new trail groomer By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The snowmobile trails have become a centerpiece of the city’s winter tourism. The Yorkton SnoRiders, who maintain the trail, have made a major investment into keeping those trails maintained, adding a third groomer to their fleet at a cost of $275,000. Jason Popowich, President of the SnoRiders, says that the decision to buy the groomer came from the amount of trails that need to be maintained in the area – over 400 kms spread throughout the region – as well as the difficulty weather often represents in keeping them to the level of quality people expect. “We found that we were grooming a trail on Monday or Tuesday, and all of a sudden the snow banks would blow onto a trail and our work during the week would be wrecked. We thought it would be best to have three groomers.” The tractor is a John Deere model purchased
locally at Maple Farm Equipment, and the grooming equipment was purchased through Gilbert out of Quebec. “It’s a long term achievement that we have been working on.” While a large expense, Popowich believes that the groomer is not merely good for the club, but good for the city as a whole. “We feel that investing in a state of the art groomer will bring tourism dollars into Yorkton and area.” Popowich says it takes a lot of people to make the trails happen. “As a club, we want to maintain the highest quality and safest groomed trails that can be made. That’s a credit to our club members, our hard working volunteers, our gracious corporate sponsors, our hard work through the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association working through SGI and the sale of license plates on sleds.” The club’s work has already put Yorkton and area on the map as a
sledding destination. The city was recently voted as the

However, many of us struggle with how to make the holiday more about the FEELING and less about the GIFTS. Our children may WANT things but they NEED time with their parents and family members more.

New CT Scanner is coming to Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton will be getting a new CT Scanner. A major donation to the Health Foundation has given them the confidence to order the machine, with the $30,000 being donated by Telemiracle pushing them close enough to buy the equipment. Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, says that they have been talking to GE about the machine and what they want from it. They machine needs to be built, and renovations need to happen in the hospital before it can be used, but it is expected that the scanner will be in place by February. Fisher notes that since the order will go in over Christmas, this will have an effect on when the machine is delivered. The final cost will be approximately $1,245,000, with donations to the Health Foundation paying for half. The cost was slightly more than orig-
inally expected. “We have to change the power supply at the hospital and we have to change the cooling system. We anticipated the change to the cooling system, but the power supply was a surprise.” The fund raising efforts are not over however, because they are still approximately $80,000 short of the ultimate goal. Fisher explains that they are ordering now because they’re close enough it would be a shame to miss out on the savings offered by a group buy. “We believe with the way the community has responded to this project they will help us raise the money needed to purchase the equipment.” Mike Thompson, President of the Yorkton Kinsmen, says they’re happy to see that the Telemiracle Foundation is supporting the CT Scanner. He notes that they raise money for the event every year on a local level, and they’re proud of how the money stays within Saskat-
chewan communities. “It’s a great way to provide for these special projects that need a bit more of a push.”
With Telemiracle approaching its 40th anniversary year, Thompson says that the donation to the CT
Scanner is an example of how the foundation makes a difference. “Every year the people of Saskatchewan
come together and raise a great deal of money, and it goes to great projects like this.”
TELEMIRACLE has made a major donation to the Health Foundation’s CT Scan campaign. The Yorkton Kinsmen and Kinettes presented a cheque for $30,000 to the campaign, pushing it close enough to make the purchase.

Yorkton Milk Drop aims to help sick babies It will now be possible to donate breast milk in Yorkton. The Yorkton Milk Drop, operated with the NorthernStar Mother’s Milk Bank, in partnership with The Yorkton Area Parents for The Milk Drop, Yorkton’s Baby Friendly Initiative Working Group, and Sunrise Health Region, allows new mothers in the area to participate in milk donation, supporting newborns in need in western Canada. Alanna Armbruster, volunteer with the Yorkton Area Parents for the Milk Drop, says that it has been a fundraising effort since June to get a milk drop in place in the city. She says that the donated milk will be used to feed babies who need special medical attention. “First off, it gives moms an option to give their child human milk instead of formula. It’s given to our premature and most at risk infants who are in ICU... It’s like medicine.” Pre-screened and eligible donor moms bring their milk to the drop at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. The milk is then shipped to NorthernStar Mother’s Milk Bank in Calgary,

where it is processed, pasteurized and distributed to babies in NICUs across the country. “It gets to the sickest and most at-need babies first.” There has been demand for the service in the city, and Armbruster says that they hope it can grow and see more interest from Yorkton area moms. “There is an increasing demand for human milk for our human babies. We
are hoping there will be more than enough supply so that we will be able to get some back here in Yorkton... We all want the best start for our children, and a human milk depot in Yorkton facilitates that.” Women who want to get involved can contact NorthernStar Mother’s Milk Bank, or contact the maternity ward at 306786-0479 to get directed to the screening program.

Taking First Nations issues seriously For far too long Canada has paid lip service to indigenous issues. This week, the country’s new justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, announced the realization of a Liberal campaign promise to launch a national inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women. That is a good thing providing it is not just a prelude to more talk and little action. Let us not forgot the former prime minister refused to engage in an inquiry because he said it was time for action. Only he didn’t take action. He actually ended up admitting “...it isn’t really high on our radar, to be honest.” He was right, though, it is time for action, but we cannot forget this problem has extremely deep roots. Beginning in the 1700s, the British Crown started signing treaties with First Nations. After confederation the Canadian government did so, as well. Treaties, it must be underscored are supposed to be binding agreements between sovereign nations. It also must be noted that these treaties were constitutionally recognized and affirmed in the Constitution Act (1982). We have never treated them that way though. Instead, we entered into a series of paternalistic and racist policies and laws, most notoriously the Residential Schools Act. Famously, Harper apologized for that on behalf of the country. His speech in the House of Commons contained strong words, but they were just that. The new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, also spoke strong words when he addressed indigenous leaders this week in Gatineau, Quebec promising “a renewed, nation-tonation relationship with First Nations people, one that understands that the constitutionally guaranteed rights of First Nations in Canada are not an inconvenience, but rather a sacred obligation.” Strong words indeed. And words that we all ought to take to heart. These are huge national issues, but that doesn’t mean it is not a case where people can “think nationally, act locally.” It starts with a very simple shift in attitude that there is not “us and them” there is only us. The Liberal five-point plan to address indigenous issues is ambitious, but even if it turns out to be comprehensive and effective, there is one issue it does not and cannot address, the entrenched racism in society. Remember, if you start a statement by saying, “I’m not racist, but...” you’re probably about to say something racist. We all have a role to play in renewing the relationship with indigenous people. It starts with seeing them first as people.
Worried spouses and safe farms The introduction of Bill 6 in Alberta, along with the badly mishandled communication about what the bill hopes to accomplish, has had the effect of launching a discussion about what is appropriate on a family farm. Every time someone is injured in a farm accident you get the same questions, especially if it’s a child, and there are debates over whether or not children should be involved in a farm overall. Actually regulating a family farm is going to be difficult because it’s a hybrid of workplace and home, and that workplace can be dangerous. It’s also the case that farm parents do have a tendency to use children as a cheap labor pool – there’s a reason farm families were normally quite massive back in the old days, you don’t have to hire help if you have seven kids. There are plenty of farm families who will use relatively unscientific reasoning to justify this, stuff about building a work ethic or increased parental bonds when you work together on the farm. I personally don’t buy that argument, I’m not sure my work ethic was generally improved by having to help out with farm tasks, and I’m sure I’d be just as close to my parents if they worked in a bank somewhere and I didn’t see them working all the time. I might even harbor less hatred for cows if I didn’t have to grow up around the stupid, smelly walking steaks. However, that’s not to say getting kids to help out is a bad thing, while it might be a cheap labor pool it does mean stuff gets done that wouldn’t otherwise, and while I might hate cows they did pay for some of my education, which almost makes it okay that all they did was try to step on my feet and make my dad shout colourful German phrases at them. I’m not against kids working on the farm, so long as parents emphasize safety. My parents did emphasize safety. There was a literal line in the yard which I could not cross until they were confident I could be safe around equipment – it was caused by the installation of a gas line, but it just happened to be the perfect division between the relatively safe part of the yard where equipment couldn’t travel and the part where most of it was kept. It was drilled into our heads basically from birth that we should always be aware of every piece of equipment, that harvest and seeding meant restricted play areas, and safety was always emphasized when we were old enough to take on different responsibilities. It also just so happened that my mother somehow had a catalog of friends of friends who got horrible injuries when they didn’t take safety information seriously, which always served to make her point clear. So we grew up safe and relatively uninjured, and the same can be said for the majority of farm kids. The thing is that there are still accidents, and the
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger farm is not an inherently safe place. Can this be solved by regulation? Probably not, because it’s still the case where it’s a workplace mixed in with a family home, and the operations are not large enough to have constant oversight. While plenty of businesses can afford to have someone who regularly oversees whether or not people are following standards, a family farm has, at most, a disapproving spouse, and then when they leave for the weekend, that’s when someone falls off a roof, as I may or may not know from personal experience and my father’s crooked nose. A permanent health and safety observer is not something that a farm budget can pay for, and most violations of health and safety protocols on farms are caused by the owner and operator not using their better judgement anyway, rather than forcing someone else to do something unsafe. The only way to effectively regulate would be someone live-in, and honestly a worried spouse probably is the most effective option – a farmer is actually willing to listen to their spouse, more than anyone that might be hired for the purpose. But I don’t think there’s a reason why children can’t be involved in the operation, provided precautions are taken. To ensure precautions are taken, I have a solution. It’s not increased regulations, it’s an increase in worried spouses. We need to have a conference, either in a physical location or offered online, where the biggest worrier on each farm is given a chance to learn about all the things that they need to fret about on their operation. It’ll educate about dangers to avoid, and the farmer and kids have to listen to this person, because they’re always there and will not let it go if they do something unsafe. Instead of a fine, you would have to deal with an angry partner or guardian, and the impact of that is going to be more of an incentive than the largest fines a government can levy. After all, the words most commonly said after an injury on the farm in my youth were always “don’t tell mom,” because she was our unofficial OSHA department. While my mom is not available on every farm in the province, an army of her equivalents would lead to the safest farms in the land.

Provinces lack financial analysis on aging population The Manning Centre released freedom of information responses today after asking each provincial government in Canada for their financial analysis as to how they’ll be impacted by Canada’s aging population. Most provinces responded with little in the way of analysis. Conversely, since 2010, the federal government has conducted long-term financial
projections as to how they’ll be impacted by Canada’s aging population; the Fiscal Sustainability reports are released annually through the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. After asking provincial governments for similar analysis, the Manning Centre was frequently told “no records were located.” “As our country ages, tremendous pres-
sure will be put on our health care system and government finances,” said Colin Craig, the Manning Centre’s Director of Strategic Communications and author of Policy Brief: Provinces Lack Financial Analysis on Aging Population. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, provincial governments don’t appear to have calculated the cost of the nation’s aging population on their finances.
“The situation is a bit like a 60-year old thinking about retiring in a few years, but without any retirement savings or plan.” The Manning Centre put forward two recommendations to address the situation: 1) Each provincial government should immediately begin conducting regular (annual or bi-annual) projections of their finances over 10-, 20-
and 30-year periods. 2) Provincial governments should place urgency on sharing best practices regarding innovative, cost-saving techniques. “Not only should provincial governments immediately begin planning for this challenge, they should be discussing best practices as to how to deliver services more cost-effectively” added Craig.
“ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s health care system is expected to save $93 million by partnering with a private company to clean hospital bed sheets. “That’s the type of positive initiative that provincial governments should be replicating nation-wide in order to give the health care system any chance of sustainability.”
‘Ambitious’ throne speech may prove costly for Canadians The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reacted to the today’s Speech from the Throne setting out the Trudeau government’s agenda, noting that its “ambitious” rhetoric raises many questions about the eventual cost to Canadian taxpayers. “It is the government’s prerogative to set its priorities,
but they must still find a way to pay for them,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “They’ve made a lot of big promises and the government will be hard pressed to find a way to pay for them all.” Wudrick highlighted some of the larger commitments, including
the negotiation of a new health accord, infrastructure investments, and military procurement, which could all prove expensive. Wudrick also expressed concern about the government’s assertion that carbon pricing will go handin-hand with economic growth. “The notion that
any tax, including a carbon tax, will be a boon to the economy, defies the experience of other jurisdictions which have gone down this road, including Australia,” said Wudrick. “We need look no further than the province of Ontario for a sobering lesson on the consequences of well-
meaning but failed policies geared towards creating ‘green jobs’.” Wudrick also noted some of the positive aspects of the speech, including a cut to the middle income tax rate, more free votes in Parliament, and a commitment to end partisan advertising using tax dollars. “A Throne Speech
is not a budget, and the devil will be in the details,” said Wudrick. “It is easy to make promises, but much harder to pay the bill for them. “We will be watching as this government moves forward and develops a clearer picture of what it means for Canadians and their pocketbooks.”
Your letter of the Week Liquor privatization not helping rural Sask. To the Editor: On Nov. 18, the provincial government announced it was selling off public liquor stores in 36 towns across rural Saskatchewan. The Sask party was keen to talk about how this would benefit Saskatchewan people – but it doesn’t seem concerned about the damage it will do to those living in the province’s small communities. In rural Saskatchewan, about
150 decent-paying jobs will be lost to liquor store privatization. People whose wages supported their families, and their local economies, will be thrown out of work in dozens of communities. If any new jobs are created to replace those lost, they’ll pay a fraction of what public liquor employees earned. But it’s doubtful whether small towns will so much as break even on jobs. The private retailers that take over
will likely incorporate liquor sales into existing businesses, using existing employees. That also means that the buildings which housed public liquor stores will sit empty. Municipal revenue, from the grants that they paid in lieu of property taxes, will be lost. And to make it worse, liquor probably won’t be any cheaper. It might cost more. The public retail system guaranteed you’d pay the
same price, whether you were shopping in Regina or Raymore. Almost everything else costs more in a small town than in the cities. Once those fixed prices are gone, why would liquor be any different? Whoever liquor privatization is meant to benefit, it isn’t the people of rural Saskatchewan. Donna Christianson Watson, SK

Christmas with the Salvation Army
CHRISTMAS TIME can be difficult for families in the Yorkton area trying to make ends meet. Community organizations and businesses are donating to the Salvation Army to help, donating food, money and toys. Above left, the Yorkton Kinsmen and Kinettes purchased a truck full of toys to be distributed to kids in needs in the city. Above right, the Cornerstone Credit Union donated toys and four bikes to the charity. The bikes were assembled as part of a team building exercise, and were donated with toys in order to give back to the community. Pictured (l-r) are Captain Rosanne Fraser with the Salvation Army, and Scott Albers, Robyn Pflanzer, Samantha Larsen, Julie Matichuk and Puja Ras (seated) with Cornerstone Credit Union. Below, Rocky Mountain Equipment’s contribution was $1,000, raised through the company’s annual Christmas party, selling tickets on 13 large raffle baskets as well as 50/50 draws. They would like to thank Source Embroidery, Yorkton Co-op and Naturally You for donating items to help raise the money. Pictured are Neil Parisloff, Darel Kawa, Cheryl Buzinski, Fraser and Taylor Kereliuk. Fraser would like to thank the community for their support.
BIG WINNER – Every year, one lucky student at the Yorkton Regional High School wins a car as part of the annual magazine campaign, raising funds for the school. This year, 14 year old Katya Anderson is the big winner, taking home this Mitsubishi Eclipse. While she won’t be able to drive it for a while, she’s excited to already have her first car. Roby Sharpe with YRHS says that the draw is a great motivator to get kids out and selling magazines.
The Twins and the Seven Sisters The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. This week we get our first good evening views of the best star cluster in the sky along with one of the best meteor showers of the year. This year, the annual Geminid meteor shower runs December 4th thru’ 17th, peaking the night of the 13th-14th with no Moon in the sky to interfere. The shower will be at its best between sunset and midnight (after midnight for those travelling south of the equator). You can look in any direction, although meteors will appear to come from the constellation Gemini the Twins, which rises in the north east around 8 p.m. While most meteor showers are comet dust, the Geminids come from particles deposited by asteroid 3200 Phaethon, itself an unusual object. Near the peak, 120 meteors per hour is not uncommon. While you’re out waiting for those meteors to show up, the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus is beginning to become more prominent as temperatures cool. By 8 p.m., you will find
it in the eastern sky about 30 degrees (a little more than a hand span) up from the horizon. Striking to the naked eye and in binoculars, it’s not hard to see why it was named after the Greek word for ‘flock of doves.’ The cluster is dominated by hot blue stars, one fiftieth the age of our own sun. Nicknamed the Seven Sisters, this cluster is referred to in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, in the Quran and three times in the Bible. The stars are mentioned in ancient texts in Hindu, Hebrew, Egyptian, Roman, Old English, Germanic, Russian and Ukrainian. African, Australian, and Central and South American cultures reference them in writings and carvings. Chinese sources date back to 2357 B.C. In North America, some Native American tribes believed that all tribes originally came from the Pleiades, and that, as descendants, they have been given the task of keeping the Earth safe; hence the First Nations’ strong
ties to nature. More currently, Pleiades translates to ‘Subaru’ in Japanese, and a stylized version of the cluster is featured on that car company’s emblem.
The Seven Sisters cluster actually has about 500 member stars, packed into an area approximately three Moon-widths across, but just the brightest six or seven
can be seen under dark skies by anyone with good eyesight. Too big for a telescope, the best views are with your eyes alone or with binoculars. After your first view of the Seven
Sisters, you will be sure to return again and again all winter long. A great star cluster introduced by a great meteor shower, both available from your own back yard.

Jays hire a fail, Riders do it right There are those who believe things in life are cyclical. If that is true, perhaps that is explanation enough for launching this little bit of weekly fun writing. It would be some 35-years ago I won a sports trivia contest in the Tisdale Recorder, my hometown newspaper. That little win had me awarded a paper certificate, a supper with the sports reporter, and would evolve in my starting to write a weekly sports column; ‘Armchair Sports Report’ (updated here since the couch is comfier). The column would appear for a few weeks shy of a decade, and lead to my joining the Recorder staff, and eventually a move here to Yorkton a quarter of a century or so ago. I now find myself settling back into the world of sports more than in the last several years, so with the fates of the wheel of time pushing me along I am sure, it is time to return to my writing roots. What will follow weekly will be a look at varied sports from the perspective of a Canadian sports fan with a comfy chesterfield, and a large number of sports channels on a large screen TV, plus access to the Internet. Jays woes To start I have to mention the Toronto Blue Jays. I was keenly aware the Jays, in spite of one of the richest ownerships
LEAGUE NAME
in the league, would not make a winning pitch for David Price, so his signing with Boston was not a surprise. Sadly reports are surfacing the Jays new management team didn’t even make an offer to a premier pitcher, whose wins were critical to TO making the playoffs, and who obviously liked pitching in the atmosphere of a Jays run. That sends a very negative message, and suggests the Jays have decided on regression above winning. But really does the Jays’ brass think Jay Happ is the answer? Yes Happ had a descent second half this past season, but that was the National League where you get the easy pitcher spot out several times a game. In reality Happ is a number four/five pitcher, meaning he is another Drew Hutchison, R.A. Dickey, or even Jesse Chavez. The Jays need an ace, and Happ is not that. Marcus Stroman might be an ace one day, but it’s a lot to expect that in what is essentially his full sophomore season. And Marco Estrada while having a stellar 2015, is so far a one year wonder. Matching this year would be great, but expect him to settle into a number three-type pitcher. With Boston having Price and a history showing they will spend money to buy wins, the Jays may not have the
Still, I’m satisfied with Jones at the controls. It is a positive first step to making the ‘Riders contenders again.
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels American League East as easily as many expected. And don’t expect big moves from the Jays with Mark Shapiro as President. Over from the Indians he doesn’t have a reputation for ‘big’ deals. The no offer to Price part of that approach it would seem. Of course the Indians are not exactly a franchise anyone would want to mimic. They have been a team of at best mediocrity of late. So why the Jays brain trust thought Shapiro was a great signing eludes me. He has since added Ross Atkins as general manager. Atkins is another guy out of the same lacklustre Cleveland franchise. The duo does not install much excitement for me, since the Happ deal seems to be exactly what these two strive for, mediocrity, and after the excitement of the past season Canadian baseball fans deserve more than mediocrity. Riders get the right guy Shapiro appears defined to be a disaster with the Jays, but the Saskatchewan
Roughriders may finally have done something right. While it took the upper brass far too long, in August they turfed Head Coach Corey Chamblin and General Manager Brendan Taman after the team started the season 0-9. Chamblin was a cancer from the sidelines, and Taman was too slow to pull the trigger on Chamblin’s dismissal. Bob Dyce took over as head coach after that and Jeremy O’Day as GM, both on an interim basis, and neither did anything over the last games of the season to warrant permanent trust. Enter Chris Jones, fresh off a Grey Cup win as Head Coach with the Edmonton Eskimos. It is reported Jones will fill the dual role of Head Coach and GM with the ‘Riders. As a field general he certainly turned the Esks back into winners. But, the key will be his managerial talents as Saskatchewan needs a rebuild in the defensive backfield, at running back, and, well you get the idea he has to find talent and lots of it.
Raptor swings Basketball used to be a long way down my list of sports to watch. But last season the Toronto Raptors and their ‘We The North’ rallying cry caught my attention. The Raptors had a good regular season with exciting players like sixth man Lou Williams, but come the playoffs the offence happy team folded quickly. The off season was spent changing the team from all offence, to one more balanced with defence. Williams went to the LA Lakers, Amir Johnson went to Boston. The backfill was all more defence oriented; DeMarre Carroll, Luis Scola, Bismack Biyombo leading the way. That has not meant no offence. DeMar DeRozan is a star, as is Kyle Lowry, and Canadian Cory Joseph has been great off the bench. Some nights the new mix has looked ready to move up the ladder in terms of the National Basketball Association elite. As an example Saturday they hosted the Golden State Warriors a team without a loss this season. The Raps lost by three, but were in the game most of the way, and had an honest shot late at a win.
The game showed they can compete with the best when they work at it. It was great game. Then of course the Raptors lost 106-105 to Denver last Thursday. The Nuggets had lost eight-in-a-row going into the game, and were averaging under 100-points a game. It was a game an elite team should not have lost. Still at 12-9 (as of Sunday), the Raptors are in good shape and the more defence-responsible players should help the team more as the season wears on. It will also be fun to watch Lucas ’Bebe’ Nogueira develop. With centre Jonas Valanciunas injured Nogueira is getting minutes of late. The Brazilian was selected 16th overall in the 2013 draft by TO, and is just now getting a chance to play. He is showing he has soft hands, can score, and knows defence, and at only 23, he has lots of time to get better. Also I am curious if the Raptors can salvage Canadian Anthony Bennett’s career. He was selected first overall in the same 2013 draft by Cleveland, was moved to Minnesota and never did much in either city. Signing in the off season with TO at the league minimum he is a project with a huge upside if time with Raptors 905 the team’s D-League team can help him fulfill the promise he showed in college at University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/ country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audienve expectations. www.thetravellingmabels.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door. www.yorktonarts.ca Volunteers Needed!
