Numbers down in the Christmas bird count By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
Some Yorkton residents had their eyes on the skies this Christmas. Each year, they participate in the Christmas bird count with the Audobon Society, part of an international effort to get an idea about the migration and movement of birds in North America. While the same number of species were spotted on the day of the count, 17, the actual number of birds was down significantly, 927 in 2015 versus 1,233 in 2014. Geoff Rushowick, who organized the count, says that the mild winter was likely a factor in the lower numbers, as many northern birds lack incentive to migrate. One of the species with a big drop is the house sparrows, down to 245 from 349. Rushowick says that this could be due to a disease affecting the species, and he has had many counters who commonly see sparrows report very few to none in their count. Other species which
have seen declines in numbers reported were rock pigeons, down to 163 from 234, and common ravens, down to 198 from 349 in 2014. Sometimes species counts can change due to people moving around in town. Eurasian doves have been decreasing in the area, down to two this year. One of the reasons why they had been easy to spot was an older woman who fed them, Rushowick explains. When she sold her home, the new owners did not feed the doves, and they moved on. Not everything went down. The black capped chickadee saw a big increase, 136 in 2015 from 46 in 2014. Nuthatches also had a good year, with 19 redbreasted nuthatches and 20 white-breasted nuthatches, up from one and eight in 2014 respectively. There were also rare sightings, such as a bald eagle. The goal of the count is to get information from across the continent to see what birds are doing and track trends in bird move-
ment. “You look ten years ago to now, if there are different species... Are certain species moving east to west, west to east or north to south?” Since starting with the local bird count over 20 years ago, Rushowick says that the big change in the city are the ravens, which have increased dramatically over the past number of years. While there used to be a large number of crows in the city, after they were driven off the ravens have moved in. While the numbers are down, Rushowick says they are also moving into the city rather than mostly congregating at the city dump. He also speculates that they might be scaring away and attacking other birds. Rushowick wants to thank the volunteers who help with the count. Unlike the birds themselves, the number of volunteers counting were up, and he says that they are what makes the count work year after year. “Without the volunteers this count would be nothing.”

Local volunteers important to city As residents, it is easy to lose sight of what it takes to run a city the size of Yorkton. On the political side, we have a mayor and council with six members. On the administrative side, there is a city manager, who oversees the directors of nine separate departments. Each department, of course, has various assistant directors and/or managers, who supervise specific activities of the department and the hundreds of employees who work for the City. In addition, Yorkton has arms-length oversight of policing through a contract with the RCMP and a special management board for the Gallagher Centre. This is not the city, however. The city is its residents and ultimately, every single employee, manager, director, council member and the mayor are answerable to the public. There are various ways residents can participate in managing the city. It starts with voting, which we will get a chance to do this year. Individuals can also directly talk to staff, department heads, councillors and the mayor or show up for public forums and council meetings, answer polls, write letters etc. All of this is pretty common sense. One thing a lot of people don’t realize, though, is they can have an even greater and more direct influence on city affairs by joining a committee. It is a new year and, as such, the City of Yorkton is looking for volunteers to sit on its various committees, which include: Community Development, Parks & Recreation Committee; Development Appeals Board; Economic Development Committee; Environmental Committee; Planning & Infrastructure Commission; Protective Services Committee; Yorkton Housing Committee; and Yorkton Public Library Board. Committees play a very important role in the life of Yorkton. They study the issues at a much more granular level than Council ever could on its own. They pass resolutions and make recommendations that are then put to council to be voted on. In short, committees guide the activities of both the political and administrative arms of municipal government. Each committee and board is made up of two council members and up to eight members of the public. Each is governed by a specific bylaw. The purposes and member duties of the individual committees are available in the bylaw section of the City of Yorkton’s website. The bylaws are named the same as the committee. This is an extremely good opportunity for civic-minded persons to have a say in how the City operates and, most importantly, spends our money. Potential volunteers are asked to submit a brief letter indicating why they are interested, what they believe they can contribute to the committee and their full contact information by email to either mayor@yorkton.ca or kritchie@yorkton.ca. Questions can be directed to the mayor’s office at 306-786-1705.
Start the year with old movies January, traditionally, is a bad time for movies. It’s before the blockbuster season, so none of the big studios want to bring out anything big, expensive and potentially record breaking. It’s the beginning of the year, so none of the smaller studios want to bring out anything that could potentially win an award, just in case the short memories of the Oscar voters forget that it ever happened. This year there is a third factor, the marketing juggernaut of the most recent Star Wars film eclipsing everything else on the market, something which has made everyone more reluctant to put out anything to compete with the film. There might be some surprises in the mix, but the early part of this year is going to be a relatively weak one for fans of cinema. Instead, fans of film might be well served to go back in time and watch some old films. Old films can still be relevant and still reflect the world we see around us. For example, A Face in the Crowd (1957) is a great way to understand America during their election season. It’s the story of a man, played by Andy Griffith, who gains power and influence through a radio show, while becoming increasingly arrogant behind the scenes. In spite of being released nearly sixty years ago, it has managed to become increasingly relevant to understanding a lot about contemporary politics, and given the sheer number of elections that are happening in 2016 it’s useful to watch a film about the rise and fall of a carefully crafted public persona. One wonders if the Donald Trump presidential campaign, built around saying what terrible people are thinking, might be built around the template established by the central character of this film, albeit without the late film twist, though I would not be surprised if that happens eventually. If you want tension, Wages of Fear (1953) takes a fairly simple premise – men have to drive two slightly broken trucks over extremely difficult terrain in order to make some money – and makes it into one of the most tense movies you will ever see. What makes it tense is the trucks are filled with explosives, and the explosives themselves are both extremely volatile and not secured properly, so any wrong move could mean everyone explodes. The film was eventually remade as Sorcerer (1977), which is also very good and is different enough to make it worth watching. Both films also happen to be pretty good arguments for the value of proper workplace safety regulations, at a bare minimum unsecured explosives are a pretty big no all around. In the era of big, special effects spectaculars, it’s easy to expect anything to happen on screen, and that
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger anything can be accomplished with a bank of computers and a the imagination. This was not always the case, of course, and that means that the simple pleasure of seeing a train fall into a river makes an old silent film as impressive today as it was when it was made originally, while early experiments in computer graphics just don’t hold up to the same degree. The General (1926) has more than just a train falling into a river, it’s also a film with a great deal of elaborately choreographed stunts and slapstick comedy, and it still holds up because it uses elements that just don’t age. Watch a film by Jackie Chan and you can see a lot of elements that were pioneered by Buster Keaton on films like this, and since special effects were, by and large, not invented yet, you get the added thrill of people doing genuinely dangerous things. Like making a train fall into a river, for example. But what if you just want to see someone shooting people? After all, that’s the main thrust behind most of the films released during blockbuster season, and I haven’t recommended a single film that’s mostly just violence. So let me tell you about Point Blank (1967), which is about Lee Marvin shooting people who owe him some money. It’s not particularly intellectual, though it is consistently amusing how the main characters assume there’s a much deeper reason behind the main character shooting everyone instead of his stated purpose, to get some money he is owed. But it is stylish and violent, and as a fan of stylish violence it’s easily one of my favorite films. Given that it will likely be a challenge to see the latest film by Quentin Tarantino, which has had a relatively limited release so far, it’s a good idea to go see a film that definitely has influenced him in some way. January is traditionally a cold, dark month – relative warmth in 2016 not withstanding – making it a great month to sit and watch a film, which makes it strange that it also happens to be the month when it is hardest to find a good, new movie to see. But while some movies might be old, they are still new to people seeing them for the first time. These are some examples of films that are worth watching, but are far from the only films from the past worthy of attention.

Canadian economy will remain sluggish in 2016
VAs the clock ticks down on 2015, it is time to ponder what may lie ahead for the Canadian economy. The near-term picture isn’t particularly heartening. After a disappointing 2015 that included a minor “technical” recession in the first half of the year, Canada looks poised for a somewhat better, but still generally lackluster, performance. The Canadian economy continues to be weighed down by sluggish world growth and dismal commodity markets. The global outlook remains subdued. Nor are there many signs suggesting an imminent rebound in commodity prices. The Bank of Canada’s commodity price index has been sliced in half since mid-2014 and is now back to where it stood in 2003. Moreover, the commodity downturn is not just about oil; it also extends to natural gas, coal, base and precious
metals, uranium, potash, and other industrial raw materials. Taken together, the resource-based sectors listed in the previous sentence supply about two-fifths of our merchandise exports. That said, within the Canadian commodity basket, oil undoubtedly looms largest. Two years ago, before prices began to collapse, oil and natural gas combined accounted for one-quarter of the nation’s exports, and the energy and pipeline industries were responsible for more than a third of all business capital spending. So the dramatic decline in oil and natural gas prices has delivered a punishing blow to our economy, dampening both private sector incomes and government revenues and triggering a broad slump in business investment. Turning to the domestic economy, record levels of household debt and
stretched urban housing markets will keep a lid on gains in consumer outlays and residential investment in the next two years. Housing-related spending has been running ahead of demographic and economic fundamentals and is overdue to downshift. As a result, housing is expected to contribute little to economic growth over 2016-17. Business investment is on track for a second annual slide in 2016, led by further cuts in capital budgets by oil, gas, and mining companies. Stepped-up infrastructure investment and a dose of fiscal stimulus from the newlyelected federal government should offset some of the weakness in private sector demand. However, it must be noted that a number of provincial governments are not in a financial position to join Ottawa in a multi-year program to boost infrastructure spending.
For Canada, the main positive features of the current economic setting are the ongoing expansion in the United States and the shortterm advantages conferred by a plunging Canadian dollar that has lost 30 per cent of its value against the U.S. currency in the last three years. Near record-low borrowing costs are also providing support to domestic demand - and will continue to do so as the Bank of Canada keeps its short-term interest rate at rock bottom levels over 2016. Looking ahead, an important unknown is the extent of the anticipated recovery in Canada’s nonenergy-exports. So far, the growth of non-energy exports has been underwhelming, in part reflecting the post2007 hollowing out of the Canadian manufacturing base and the disappearance of thousands of firms in the sector. These latter develop-
ments put a question mark over the growth potential for Canadian manufacturing, even with a more competitive exchange rate. In the past decade, the geographic centre of gravity in North America for manufacturing production and related investment has moved inexorably southward, mainly benefitting the southern U.S. states and Mexico. It is doubtful that a period of Canadian dollar weakness will be sufficient to reverse this pattern, although it may stem further losses of Canadian production capacity and prompt some manufacturers to channel more capital spending to their Canadian operations. In the meantime, several Canadian industries that produce tradeable services - everything from engineering, finance and scientific and technical services to education, IT-based services,
and tourism - arguably will have better growth prospects than manufacturers or resource producers over the next few years. Canadian policy-makers would be wise to pay attention to the upside opportunities which exist in tradeable services. Add it all up, and Canada should be able to crank out real economic growth in the vicinity of 1.6 per cent next year, a slight improvement on 2015’s roughly one per cent gain, but certainly nothing to get excited about. As the sun sets on 2015, Canadians have few reasons to feel ebullient about the country’s economic prospects in the coming year.

Your letter of the Week Canadians will see a tax break in the new year To the Editor: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has crunched the numbers and the new Trudeau government’s tax measures will mean a tax break for most Canadians in 2016. The centrepiece measures are changes to income tax rates, with a reduction on the tax rate for income earned between $45,282 and $90,563, which drops from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, while a new tax bracket will apply on income over $200,000, raising the rate from 29 per cent to 33 per cent. The Family Tax Cut, which allowed couples with children under 18 to split their income resulting in a tax credit of up to $2,000, has also been eliminated. Additionally, the Universal Child
Care Benefit (UCCB) will be replaced with the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) starting in July 2016. The CCB differs from the UCCB in that it is tax-free, and meanstested with larger payouts going to lowerincome households. As part of its annual New Year’s Tax Changes report, the CTF has calculated the tax impact for families for 2016 for 34 hypothetical Canadian households. Some highlights include: $1,597 in savings for a two-child, singleincome family in Ontario earning $30,000 per year. $1,414 in savings for a two-child, twoincome family in Saskatchewan earning $80,000 per year. $164 in savings for a two-child, oneincome family in Quebec earning $100,000
per year. $7,643 in higher taxes for a two-child, one-income family in Alberta earning $250,000 per year. “The range varies widely, from a few hundred to about $2,000 in savings, but it’s clear that most Canadian families will have more money in their pockets as a result of these tax changes,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Dual-income households with children, where each spouse earns a relatively equal amount, will benefit most.” Wudrick also noted that for all the good news, high-income earners face substantial tax hikes, while the rollback of Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) annual contribution limits from $10,000 to $5,500 will also reduce future savings for mil-
lions of Canadians. Additionally, bracket creep will continue to punish all taxpayers in Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, as well as high-income earners in Ontario and New Brunswick. “While most provinces adjust their tax brackets for inflation, ensuring that salary increases that match inflation don’t push earners into a higher income tax bracket, provinces that don’t index punish workers and leave them worse off,” said Wudrick. “It’s shameful a province like Nova Scotia will squeeze an additional $20 from those who only make $30,000 a year with this hidden tax hike.” CTF calculations for the tax changes that will be occurring on January 1st for 34 different income and family scenarios can be found here.

Total Rush that NLL in Saskatchewan It’s time to get in on the rush of pro indoor lacrosse in Saskatchewan. And, I for one am pretty excited about that. The National Lacrosse League has come to the province, transferring the Edmonton franchise to Saskatoon. That we have the Rush here means fans are going to see a competitive team from the get-go. The team won the NLL crown in 2015 in Edmonton, and only moved because ownership and arena management couldn’t get a new deal done. (As an interesting aside there have already been suggestions the NLL with expand back to Edmonton in the near future). Now some people will question what sort of a league has its championship franchise moving in the off season, and granted if it has ever happened before I don’t recall it. But, it is the reality of a game which is still trying to establish itself in the world of professional sports. Lacrosse has long held my interest. Box lacrosse is of course Canada’s official summer game, and frankly it is as exciting, and entertaining as any sport. It has obvious elements of hockey, tons of shots because of a shot clock, is physical, and lots of offence. It is a treat for sports fans. That is why I was thrilled when the Yorkton Bulldogs started in the city, and the Junior team was quite successful in the first couple of years. But like a lot of sports lacrosse struggled to gain lasting momentum in Yorkton, a city where somehow we have decided hockey should be a 12-month endeavour for youngsters. Summer hockey schools and elite team programs siphon kids from baseball, soccer and new programs such as lacrosse, in the hopes of many they will one day make the National Hockey League, although the list of Yorkton players at that level is still very, very short. It’s much the same at
the pro level, lacrosse both the NLL, and the outdoor Major Lacrosse League, are fighting for fans and equally important television air time. A cable TV package in Canada may offer up a bag full of sports channels, but they are happier to run an MBA D-League game, or a hockey game re-run, than something fresh like the NLL, even though there are now four teams in Canada, and as mentioned a likelihood of a couple of more soon. With all the Canadian teams the NLL should be ideal for TV, and producing a game is essentially the same as hockey, something crews are very familiar with. One day that will hopefully happen, but until it does the NLL will be a league often in flux. The nine team loop, you can see where three more teams would round out the league nicely, has seen teams switch cities a lot. That is not a huge thing in pro sports. Check the NHL over the last 30 years, and teams have settled and left Kansas City, Oakland, Quebec City, Atlanta (twice) and Winnipeg, now back there, among several others. The NLL has simply done what it has had to do to survive, and it has been tenacious in surviving. The league celebrates its 30th season this year. And now the league is hoping Saskatoon can be a successful addition to the fold. When you live in a province of only a million people, give or take a few tens of thousands over the years, you have to expect professional sports league are going to generally pass on establishing a team here. Granted, we have the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The franchise is highly successful in terms of fan support and making money. Success in terms of winning the league’s big prize is another matter, one which I could write volumes on the frustration that has caused,
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels but that is for another time. There was the pie-in-thesky dream once upon a time Bill Hunter was going to bring the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League to Saskatoon. It was a nice dream for a few weeks, although the cold of a Saskatchewan winter thwarting travel, and that small population base made it folly to think it might work over 40-plus home games a season. But now Saskatchewan has another chance to show we can be a ‘big league’ province. The calibre of the Rush on the floor should be high, as deeding champions the team knows how to win. Mark Matthews was second in NLL scoring last season with 115 points in 18 games. I did mention there is a lot of offence in the NLL. That was based on 53 goals and 62 assists. Matthews was still 15 points off the pace set by Shawn Evans in Calgary. Evans will play with New England this season. Matthews is a true lacrosse player, with a bio noting his favourite lacrosse memory in back-to-back Minto Cups. The Minto Cup, for those not familiar with lacrosse, is one of the most prestigious trophies in the sport. A little history from the Ontario lacrosse website; “The Minto Cup is located in the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. It is awarded annually to the champion junior men’s lacrosse team of Canada. It was donated in 1901 by the GovernorGeneral, Lord Minto, but until 1934 was awarded to the senior men’s champion of Canada. During that period the Mann Cup, the trophy currently awarded to the senior champion, was
16012OB3
also awarded to a national men’s champion in a separate competition. The Minto Cup senior competition was dominated by the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who held the trophy for 21 of the 29 years in which it was contested (the competition was suspended during World War I). “In 1934 the last trustee appointed to supervise the Cup died, and the Lord Minto of the day eventually transferred it to the Canadian Lacrosse Association, which decided to award it as the trophy for the national junior men’s champion, starting in 1937. Originally, the competition was between all-star provincial teams formed by adding players to the provincial champion. In 1960 this practice was abandoned and the trophy has since been competed for by the Junior A provincial champions of British Columbia of the BCLA, Ontario of the OLA and recently Alberta, of the ALA the only provinces where organized lacrosse thrives.” But back to the Rush line-up; Robert Church was tied for 10th in scoring with 92 points, Ben McIntosh for 14th with 86, and Zack Greer was 18th with 80. It helped the Rush that Aaron Bold was the top goaltender with a 9.44 goals against average (oh you have to love the offence of indoor lacrosse). All made the move to Saskatchewan, so the Rush should roll nicely again. Matthews certainly believes the Rush should have another great season on the floor. “We were a pretty strong team. We had a good team two years ago when we set an NLL record for the most consecutive wins (13-0 off
the start),” Matthews noted in an interview, adding it was the next step to win the title last spring, and with the team generally intact, Saskatchewan fans should be in for a good run again. On a personal level Matthews said he wants to have another good year offensively, something he generates off his size (6-foot5, 230 pounds). “I’d say having a big body … On the floor it’s taking the hits and get myself into areas to score … and having some stick skills helps me out too,” he offered, adding after that it comes down to having good teammates around him. As for the move to the Saskatchewan, Matthews said players took it in stride as part of the game. “We had kind of heard about the idea we may be moving to Saskatoon,” he said, adding as players they can’t do anything about off-court situations such as arena rentals, and where an owner thinks he has the best opportunity to be successful. That said, as a veteran Matthews said he does recognize there are some
added responsibilities for players in helping introduce and grow the sport in a new market, like doing interviews like the recent one with myself. “I love doing this kind of stuff, anything to get butts in the seats,” he said. “We’ve got to keep winning and doing anything off the floor that can help.” As a fan I know I’ll head west two or three times this season, (there are nine home games). The Rush started the season on the road in Calgary Saturday, and it was an exciting one. After a sluggish first half that had the Rush behind, Saskatchewan scored eight second half goals for a 10-8 victory. The comeback included a pair of goals 13-seconds apart for an early tie, and later in the game four goals in 3:06 to take a lead. Matthews led the way with two goals and five points, and for trivia fans Ben McIntosh had the first Saskatchewan Rush goal. The home opener is Jan. 15, with Vancouver the visitors, so if you love the sport you should plan a trip to take it in.

No house sitter required
The holiday season is finally here and most of us are off to enjoy quality time visiting family and friends, getting away on sunny vacations or hitting the slopes. Whether you’re enjoying the beaches or snowboarding down your favourite mountain, you’ll want to make sure that your home is protected while you’re away. With the latest home security systems from providers such as ADT, they’re helping you rest assured that your home is protected while you are out enjoying yourself this season. “Our interactive services give you protection that goes far beyond the role of a traditional home security system,” explained Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Business Development for ADT Canada. Here are the latest options
available to help monitor and protect your home: Interactive Video Surveillance You can set up video surveillance around your property and in your home that seamlessly sleeves into your existing system. You can subscribe to interactive video surveillance to record activity at preset times or begin recording when motion is detected. Only you can monitor what’s happening in your house through your webcams, as monitoring centres cannot access your cameras. Interactive Door Locks If you have guests that will be housesitting or getting your mail for you while you are away, there is no need to give them a key. You can give them a passcode
to get in which you can change or delete immediately after your vacation is over. You can also lock and unlock your door remotely to allow a guest to enter for example. Interactive Thermostat You no longer have to worry about if you left the heat on too high before you left the house. You can simply check the status of your thermostat through your computer or your smartphone and control the temperature from a distance. As an added bonus, you can turn up the heat just before you get back if you are returning home on a particularly cold day. Remote Control Lighting and Appliances You can also control appliances and your
lighting remotely using the same interactive technology, so you can make sure appliances are shut off and make it look like someone is home by switching lights on and off in the evening. You can even program your system to perform several tasks at once. When arming your system, for example, you can also set it to lock the front door, turn off the lights, and lower the temperature slightly. Similarly, when you disarm it, it can unlock the door and turn on the lights. The thermostat can even be set to the ideal temperature in time for your arrival. You can do all this using a single key on your smart phone – whenever and wherever. More information on home security is available at www.adt.ca.
5 simple ways to save money through efficiency Fall and winter can be tough on your home and your wallet. As temperatures drop, chances are that your furnace will be working overtime. This results in two unwanted things: greater energy consumption and higher heating bills. In fact, the costs associated with heating and cooling a home year-round can account for as much as
two-thirds of the average annual energy bill. Try these easy DIY projects to help cut down on energy loss and expenses: 1. Replace weatherstripping around doors and windows. Worn weather-stripping can create drafts and let heated air out, stressing your furnace and compromising your comfort. Replacing it takes little
time and is a low-cost, high-impact solution. 2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Experts recommend installing a dimensionally stable batt insulation like a

FLOOR SPACE N NEEDED! NEW PRODUCTS ARRIVING!

Roxul product called Comfortbatt. Aim for an R-value of at least R50 or roughly a depth of 16 inches (41 cm). 3. Insulate basement headers and walls. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut
Comfortbatt stone wool insulation to fit the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will prevent heat loss and can potentially save hundreds of dollars each year. 4. Caulk around windows. Cracks and crevices are a source of heat loss. They can also be an entry point for water/ moisture, as well as
for unwelcome insects. Preventative maintenance, such as caulking, can improve energy efficiency and avoid costly repairs. 5. Change your furnace filter. Make it a point to check your furnace filter monthly, always changing it when it’s dirty. This will improve the performance and efficiency of your furnace, saving you money.

Saturn orbits 10 times further out, and light takes 600 years to get here from Antares. How powerful does it make you feel to cover the works with a couple of fingers? Over the weekend, Venus will be moving across Saturn on its way to an early February conjunction with Mercury. A pair of binoculars will greatly enhance your experience, but they take practice. For a steadier view, hold the binoculars out near the ends of the lenses while resting your elbows on your chest. Breath slowly or hold your breath. As always when using optical aid, be very aware of exactly where the Sun is. On the 8th, it rises at 8:52 and 8:48 a week later as mornings start to get

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. brighter sooner. Early on New Year’s Day, I took my own advice (as I’m sure every one of you did), and popped out for a look at Comet Catalina with binoculars, which I said could be easily found right next to the bright red giant star Arcturus. I was very pleased that it was actually there, and actually very easy to see (I always get excited when stuff I write pans out). It currently lies in the middle of nowhere, but on the 15th through 17th, Catalina will be travelling northward along the handle of the Big Dipper, presenting a prime opportunity to see it in the night sky. Next
week’s article will provide a little more information. Be sure to take a minute to step outside in the morning and look around. Our brightest planets are starting to spread out and move into the night sky for the spring, but until they do, it’s a great view to start your day with. Next week, besides Comet Catalina, the Moon will be putting on a little magic show where it will attempt to make the orange supergiant giant star Aldebaran disappear. As a belated Christmas gift, I’ve have arranged for you to have front row seats from your own back yard.

The Travelling Mabels A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. 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!
