Brad Wall makes Yorkton campaign stop By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s the final days of the provincial election campaign, and the leader of the Saskatchewan Party Brad Wall made a stop in Yorkton to meet supporters and sing the
praises of the local candidate for the party, Greg Ottenbreit. Wall focused on the party’s record over the past few years in a speech to supporters, highlighting things like increased population in the region, projects like the truck
bypass and initiatives like revenue sharing. He also took the chance to rail on the NDP, saying their platform was an “angry list of complaints” and uncosted promises. “I’m happy to talk about our record all over the province. I think it
might be garnering a lot of support and another opportunity to have a chance to serve.” One of the big questions for Yorkton is the potential for a new hospital in the region. Wall says that Ottenbreit has been advocating for a
new hospital. While he says that they “won’t make any promises that they can’t keep,” it is one of the facilities that is likely for replacement, after the hospital in Prince Albert, which is in preliminary planning, and Weyburn.
Where and when to vote in Sask election By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Saskatchewan Provincial Election is on April 4. All polls open at 9:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m. There are several polling locations in the city, St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Parish Cultural Centre, Gloria Hayden Community Centre, Heritage Baptist Church, St. Alphonsus School, St. Gerard’s Parish Centre. Gallagher Centre
(Nexera Flexi-Hall), Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre, The Bentley, Yorkdale Central School (Student Centre/parking lot entrance), Ukrainian Orthodox Auditorium, St. Paul’s School. To find out your polling location check your voter information card or visit www.elections. sk.ca. There will be mobile polls at the nursing homes in the city as well. If you are in the hospital on election day, you can vote there, whether or
not it is in your home constituency. In Yorkton, that poll will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Advance polls are also available at the Returning Office, 32 Smith Street West, Yorkton. They will be open March 31 and April 1 from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and on April 2 from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. All voters also need to remember to bring ID to vote. There are three alternatives available. One, a driver’s license
or other government issued ID that has your name, photo and address. Two, show two pieces of ID, both must have your name and one must have your address. For example, your health card and a utility
bill. Three, at the voting station, you can sign a declaration, and a registered voter from your constituency, such as a neighbour or roommate, may vouch for you. Each person can only vouch for one other individual.
“It’s a matter of planning and a matter of making sure we can afford whatever we commit to, but the facility here needs replacement.” The stop was part of a rural tour, with stops in Canora, Buchanan and Melville.

Discover the voice of Marie-Josée Lord By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
Marie-Josée Lord’s love of music was reignited by discovering voice. The soprano will give the city the chance to fall in love with voice just like she did on April 11. Born in Haiti, Lord came to Canada after being adopted by a couple in Quebec. She says that they were great parents, and they’re the reason that she discovered music. Lord began studying music as a pianist at seven years old, and picked up the violin at 11. But she was ready to give up music entirely and go on to study other things as she got older, until she found voice in her early 20s. “The fact that I discovered voice made me keep going in music. I was fed up, I was tired and I didn’t see a reason
why I should pursue music for I didn’t like it anymore. But discovering singing was a new world.” Lord describes the discovery as being like a lightning strike, and says that once she found it she knew that was going to be her life. “It was discovering a new thing and discovering there is an art that exists that has every aspect that I love, every aspect that speaks to me. The communication, the music, the theatre... I didn’t know this art existed, but when I discovered it I discovered it exactly fit my personality.” It was a difficult choice to switch to voice, Lord admits, because it meant that she would have to start training all over again. While the skills from previous instruments could be applied to voice, it was still a big change.
“It was a big decision because it meant that I would have to spend another ten years at school. But it helped me to focus, it was my last chance to do music, so I gave 150 per cent.” That work ethic has lead to Lord’s success, recording three albums, performing sold out shows at l’Opéra de Montréal and winning award, including the Prix d’Excellence de la Culture, awarded by the Fondation de l’Opéra de Québec. “When you really want to do something, it’s like breathing, you have to do it. You want to have challenge, so year after year, you’re working, you fix goals, and goals by goals you’re going higher and higher. It’s very satisfying for me, and I have fun doing it.” Discovery also defines the tour with Prairie Debut. The tour goes to

places which do not necessarily see a large number of classical performers, with many smaller communities on the tour. While she admits that it is a lot of travel for her, she believes in the idea of bringing music to different communities. “We want people to know about classical music. When you live in a little town, very far from a big city, it’s more difficult to have access to music other than the music of your area. For us, it’s really doing that, bringing classical to people. To bring music to people because they can’t go and get it, we are going to them.” Prairie Debut presents Marie-Josée Lord as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan Series on April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Anne Portnuff theatre. Tickets are available at www.yorktonarts.ca.
Film fest announces this year’s nominees By Thom Barker Staff Writer There will be 97 nominees in 21 categories vying for Golden Sheaf Awards at this year’s Yorkton Film Festival (YFF) not including craft awards. Juries from across Canada weeded through more than 200 entries to come up with the slate of films that will grace Yorkton screens between May 26 and May 29. “We had a tremendous response in submissions this year, and I have to thank our jury heads for the work they put into adjudicating those submissions,” said Randy Goulden, YFF executive director. “There is a terrific group of nominees this year, and we’re beginning the process on adjudicating our craft juries, so I think we’re going to have some very interesting films for the people of Yorkton to come out and see in May.” The festival kicks off
May 26 with the latest from North Battleford filmmaker Brian Stockton. The Sabbatical is a comedy starring James Whittingham and Laura Abramsen about a burnt out photography professor who goes on sabbatical only to find himself embroiled in a mid-life crisis involving a freespirited, young, female artist. It was filmed entirely in Regina. The film won an honourable mention at the 2015 Whistler Film Festival and is also a selection for 2016 Canadian Film Fest in Toronto, which starts today. “We’re thrilled to be bringing this film to our audience this year,” Goulden said. Critic Greg Klymkiw gave the effort three-and-ahalf stars. “A new gunslinger has ridden his horsy into Schlub Babe Movie Town packing mega-six-shooters fully loaded with this great cinematic tradition,” he wrote. “Brian Stockton’s

Prairie Light deadline extended By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The deadline for the Prairie Light Photography Festival’s Portfolio Prize is being extended by one week. The new deadline is now April 7, pushed back from March 31. The deadline was pushed back due to repeat-
ed requests according to a release. The prize is for a body of work, from 20-24 images selected by the photographer as well as their online presence. While the contest deadline is pushed back, the winners are still expected to be announced on April 16. The contest is open to Saskatchewan photogra-
phers, whether current residents or those who identify as Saskatchewan artists. The winning entry receives a solo exhibition with free printing and exhibition framing, plus a professional artist fee of $1,650. Contest details and entry form at SaskPrairieLight.com.

Desire drives debt crisis Who among us really understands economics? At the best of times, even so-called experts seem to be muddling around in the dark. Predictions are as much crystal-ball readings as they are objective analysis of data. Last week, the new federal government issued its first budget prompting typical kneejerk reactions. To conservative pundits, it is uncontrolled spending, to progressive ones, it’s a good first step to growing the economy. The fact of the matter is, we won’t know for years to come, what, if any, impact this budget will have had on our collective well-being. Even then, it will be virtually impossible to untangle what Canadian polices accomplished and what international realities dictated. The only certain thing is politicians of the ruling party will claim credit for the good and lay blame elsewhere for the bad. Vice versa for the Opposition, obviously. And they will both have experts to back up their claims. For the rest of us, you don’t have to be an expert to recognize increasing debt is unsustainable, but how did we get here? According to political campaign rhetoric, it is because the middle class is in crisis. And if anybody knows increasing debt is unsustainable, it is the middle class. That’s why we turfed a government that was promising austerity for one promising to fix our debt crisis. Now, we hear a lot of talk about millennials being the first generation (since World War II) that will worse off than their parents. Really? Trying to wrap your mind around that is like trying to grasp water in your hand. Trying to research it grinds you into a spiral of “median incomes,” “consumer price indexes” and other financial mumbo jumbo. Some things, such as houses and cars are modestly more expensive as a percentage of income, than they were in the 1950s. Adjusting for quality—people think things were built better back then but that’s just nostalgia talking and is not backed up by evidence—there is a negligible difference. Some things, such as the cost of education, have increased significantly, but others, such as consumer goods are drastically cheaper. What has really changed is our expectations. It is time for us to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. If that sounds familiar, it is because it is step four of the 12-step addiction recovery program made famous by Alcoholics Anonymous. Referencing it is intentional because, as a society, we have become consumeraholics. Yes, the “silent generation,” those who were born between 1925 and 1942, had it really good, and if we lived today like they did then, we would be swimming in money. But it’s not good enough any more to have a modest home, we have to have a palatial one. It’s not good enough to have a family car, we have to two or three plus a boat, ATVs and snowmobiles—and they need to be replaced with much greater regularity. It’s not good enough to go to a nearby beach in the summer, we have to go to a tropical beach in the middle of winter or a constructed theme destination where a soda costs $8. It’s not good enough to have a monthly family outing to Dairy Queen or the movie theatre, we have to have everything on demand. It’s not good enough to have a library card, every member of the family has to have a TV, a computer, a game console and a smartphone. In short, we are spoiled beyond rotten. Unfortunately, the massive Catch-22 is we cannot, en masse, extricate ourselves from the problem by scaling back because the economy we have built—one that increasingly does not grow or build anything that provides for the necessities of life itself—would collapse. We are trapped in a vicious cycle of consumerism and on-demand entertainment that requires unavailable and unsustainable increases in income. And all of that is all on top of the things we really need such as proper nutrition, health care and education. Yes, there are problems of income inequality that need to be addressed, but much of our economic insecurity, both as a nation and individually, we have brought on ourselves through our insatiable desire for more of everything.
Let the little guys take part too The recent provincial debate had two men on stage, Brad Wall and Cam Broten. This does reflect what was the makeup of recently dissolved legislature, which contained only Wall’s Sask Party and Broten’s NDP, so some might suggest that this is fair enough and an accurate representation of who people will actually be voting for in April. However, looking at who is on the ballots, we should open it up more. In this election there are three parties running a full slate of candidates, the Liberal Party being the one omitted from the leadership debate. The Green Party got close to that number, and had a full slate of candidates lined up before three had to drop out of the race due to nomination problems. It can be argued that it’s very unlikely that either party will get a seat in the legislature this April, but that’s a given, they’re not given the same amount of attention as the big two in the province. But why not give time to the other parties? They went through the effort of getting names on the ballot everywhere, people can vote for them. Federally, we’ve given debate positions to the Bloc Quebecois, and the majority of Canadians can’t vote for that party, as it will never leave Quebec. Everyone in the province has a chance to vote Liberal, even if most of us won’t, shouldn’t they be given a place on the stage to convince the electorate that’s a good idea? It’s a question of fairness, rather than expression of support. Here in Yorkton, we have four names on the ballot. The recent All Candidates Forum only saw two of the men in question actually show up, but all four were invited. That makes sense, all four are putting their name forward, and as a result all four should be given an equal chance to speak about the issues important to people in the region. If they don’t want to take that chance, that’s not a very smart move on their part, but the Chamber of Commerce, who was the host, does the right thing by extending an invitation to everyone running. An invitation refused is very different from an invitation that was never actually given, and that is part of the problem with the absent parties at the leadership debate. Unlike the absent local candidates, they didn’t get an invite. Broten and Wall are naturally going to be the main focus, representing the parties in the legislature, but they are not the only provincial leaders. Everyone in Saskatchewan can vote for Darrin Lamoureux’s Liberal Party, why not put him on stage as well? While Victor Lau’s Green Party wasn’t able to get all of their nominees on the ballot, they did get close, why not consider putting him in the mix? If everyone can vote for them, everyone should be able to hear what they have to say, and decide if they actually want to vote
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger for them. Which is not an endorsement of either party, it’s an endorsement for the agency of us, the people who are making decision about who gets a seat in the legislature. Giving the chance for everyone to get their message out means that the voters know who they like, who they agree with, and who they think would make the best person to represent them in the legislature. Voters deserve the chance to see what candidates have to offer them, so why not add any party with a full slate of candidates to a leadership debate? This year, it would be a field of three or four, depending on how you decide who gets an invite, which is hardly an unmanageable number of voices. There is no good reason to omit the leaders of these smaller parties. So how do we decide who gets an invite? Most voters have no real interest in hearing from people they can’t actually vote for, after all. To keep it relevant, it should be limited to party leaders who the vast majority of the province will see on their ballot, somewhere over 75 per cent of the population I would argue. Keeping it limited to parties that the majority of the province can vote for also keeps the fringe parties off of the slate, since they rarely can hit a full slate, but still allows for mistakes that inevitably occur in the nomination process. There are 268 people in Saskatchewan running for office, breaking a record set in 1982. Each of them deserve the chance to make their case to voters of their respective ridings. You can’t force them to take that chance, as has been proven in Yorkton, but they still deserve the option. When a party puts a name forth in every riding in the province, they should have the chance to put their leader before every person who could theoretically support them. No matter who people decide to support this April, it’s only fair they get all the information they need to make up their mind and support the best candidate for them. If one rejects a small party, it should be because they do not agree with their policies, their leaders or their local candidate. It should not be because they didn’t have the chance to hear their message in the first place.

Buying Your First Telescope - Part Two
Last week’s article was mainly about what not to do when purchasing a first telescope. This week, I’ll cover the specific things to look for when out shopping. Regarding cost, the sky is truly the limit when it comes to telescopes. However, by choosing wisely to begin with, even a relatively inexpensive telescope can last you a lifetime. Pay particular attention to these suggestions if shopping at places other than astronomical telescope dealers. There are three basic types of telescopes: the refractor is the familiar
long tube with a glass lens at the end, the reflecting telescope uses a mirror rather than a lens, and the hard-to-say catadioptric uses both a lens and mirror. Each has its strengths and its weaknesses, but all can serve your needs if well built. First, ensure that the eyepiece (the part you look into) has a barrel diameter of 1.25 inches or more, and is made of glass, not plastic. If you’re not sure, back away. A good telescope must have a solid, vibration free tripod or mount. The tripod is usually an inexpensive telescope’s greatest weakness,
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. and can make an otherwise good telescope into a poor one; you simply cannot see through a telescope that won’t quit shaking. One type of reflecting telescope called a ‘Dobsonian’ rotates on a flat base rather than a tripod, and is extremely stable.
The main purpose of an astronomical telescope is to gather light, not to magnify. The reason is that the objects in the sky you will be looking at are dim, not small. The larger the aperture (the diameter of the main lens or mirror), the more light it gathers and
to the editor LETTERS PAGE
the brighter an object will be. The aperture is usually given in millimeters; that’s what the ‘50’ in 7x50 binoculars stands for. You can safely ignore the high magnification numbers advertised by consumer telescopes; high power on amateur scopes (400x 500x 600x) is essentially unusable. I almost exclusively use 47 power, and honestly can’t remember the last time I felt the need to exceed 200x. So, look for a telescope with a solid mount and with the largest aperture you can afford. It must also be small enough to store fully
assembled, and portable enough to easily carry outside, or it won’t be used. If I had to recommend a type, I would suggest going for a ‘Dobsonian’ reflecting telescope. Dollar for dollar, they are the most stable, provide the brightest images and give you the most value for your money. If you have any questions, email me. I have a few scopes you could look through, and no end of free advise. Choosing wisely will guarantee you years of hassle-free pleasure discovering the wonders of the night skies from your own back yard.

Your letter of the Week From coast to coast: a pipeline as unifying as the CPR To the Editor: It was just a simple piece of crude iron that fitted in one hand - but it still stands as an iconic symbol of nation building. The Last Spike was hammered home at 9:22 a.m. on Nov. 7, 1885, at Craigellachie, B.C. and marked, symbolically, the economic and political binding of a young nation. From coast to coast, two ribbons of steel snaked across Canada’s vast and challenging plains and mountains. The Canadian Pacific Railway was complete. But as an ambitious undertaking, it wasn’t without the travails of conflicting political agendas, finances, geography and climate. Sound familiar? It took 15 years to finish and another year to get stock rolling. The CPR was British Columbia’s price for agreeing to join Confederation. It completed both a country and an economic union that in many ways created the trade, transportation and communications foundations we enjoy today. Its proponents wouldn’t have had the benefit of modern business terminology, but they would wholeheartedly agree that a national supply chain was also birthed. The CPR’s Last Spike has defined Canada in many ways, but it may be
fading from our memory. It is physically honoured by just one of the many historical cairns glimpsed through the windshield as Canadians race through their lives along national transportation systems we now take for granted. So why aren’t we talking about the First Weld and rejuvenating interest in a key historic moment that has so indelibly shaped our present and should continue to point us forward? What’s the First Weld? It’s a chance to do some contemporary nation building in geographic reverse west to east - and create a sense that the race for Canadian unity has never really had a finish line. The First Weld is also a timely opportunity to do some national role reversal by foregrounding Quebec’s place in Confederation. Quebec is conducting hearings on the Energy East pipeline proposal and while the results hold no technical weight, they do hold political heft. The First Weld is an opportunity for TransCanada Corp. and its pipeline customers and supporters to create some Energy East unity buzz. And what better time to do it than with Canada’s 150th birthday looming in 2017? Energy East construction is slated to start that year, pending National Energy
Board and federal cabinet sanctions. But instead of waiting until the project’s commissioning in 2020, why not celebrate its beginning by recalling a pivotal moment in Canadian history? Use the symbolism around the Last Spike to create a similar fervour around the First Weld: the emblematic act of metal fusing with metal, provinces melding to provinces, to create a new national transportation system - this one a pipeline, arguably as important an economic link in the 21st century as the CPR was in the 19th. Pick a place in Quebec that is powerful for its symbolic import. Start promoting the First Weld as the notional launch of Energy East. Build community ties around it and stretch them across Canada. Build history around it. Embed it as a pivotal moment in Canada’s 150th birthday. Build an eastern Craigellachie. The blueprint is there. Pick a date to celebrate in 2017 and get the momentum going. The allusion of a pan-Canadian pipeline to the CPR’s importance is not new: former Enbridge chief Patrick Daniel consistently used the historic reference while promoting the Northern Gateway pipeline. Now it’s popular with Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and others as they quite correctly argue for pan-Canadian support for the
Energy East initiative. But the concept of the First Weld could ignite real grassroots interest in why Energy East’s importance transcends the hydrocarbons it will transport. It also offers a way for ordinary Canadians to have their voices heard in a celebratory rather than regulatory context. In his epic poem, Towards the Last Spike, E.J. Pratt valourized the efforts of CPR’s proponents and opponents. Like the railway, Pratt’s poem has been scrutinized and criticized, intensely interrogated and analyzed by historians and the literati alike. It is indeed a dense work but Pratt who won a Governor General’s Literary Award for it - captures and distills the project’s essence, in terms of the interplay between key actors, prevailing politics and the vagaries of climate and geography. He acknowledges the struggles and tensions, but also underscores the railway’s importance as a national aspiration. The First Weld: it’s the foundation for a new Canadian epic. Let’s get everyone excited. By Bill Whitelaw, President and CEO JuneWarren-Nickle’s Energy Group © 2016 Distributed by Troy Media

Don’t prune elm trees from April 1 to August 31
To reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED), pruning of elm trees will once again be prohibited throughout Saskatchewan from April 1 to August 31. Elm bark beetles that spread the disease are most active during this time of year. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the insects and increase the chance of a DED infection. Proper elm tree pruning outside the annual ban period helps keep trees healthy and better able to
resist all diseases, including DED. Removing dead and dying elm wood through pruning also helps reduce places for beetles to breed, and curbs their populations. Throughout the year, including during the ban period, DED-infected elms should be removed promptly. Provincial regulations require commercial pruners of elm trees to complete a recognized training program or be under the supervision of someone
who has. Improper pruning techniques can spread many tree diseases, including DED. Because of the risk of spreading DED, transporting or storing elm firewood is illegal. Elm wood must be disposed of promptly, using the method and locations chosen by each municipality. For more information, call your local municipal office or the ministry’s Client Service Office at 1-800-567-4224.
How occupational therapy can help chronic pain sufferers
Millions of people suffer from acute or chronic pain every year, and the effects of that pain extend far and wide. While pain sufferers understandably focus their attention on treating their conditions, it’s important for all people to recognize the nonphysical burdens pain places on people as well. Estimates vary regarding the overall financial burden of chronic pain on healthcare systems, but numerous studies have suggested the overall costs are in the neighorhood of half a billion dollars every year. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine estimated that pain costs American society as much as $635 billion every year, a figure that includes both the costs associated with treating pain and the money forfeited to lost productivity. The costs of chronic pain are substantial in Canada as well. Though the population of Canada is just 35 million (compared to nearly 320 million in the United States), a 2010 report estimated the costs associated with chronic pain and lost productivity and sick days in Canada to be around $37 billion annually.
Chronic pain can be uncomfortable and costly, but there are ways to manage the effects of chronic pain and lead an active, productive life. Occupational therapy is one way for chronic pain sufferers to combat their conditions and improve their quality of life. What is occupational therapy? According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, occupational therapists and their assistants utilize everyday activities to help chronic pain sufferers participate in the things they want to do and need to do, including work. What can occupational therapists do? Chronic pain sufferers rely on occupational therapists in various ways. Occupational therapists may identify the cause of their patients’ pain, suggesting alternatives to activities or behaviors that aggravate that pain. Such identification may include evaluations of patients’ homes and work environments. Occupational therapists also teach methods for decreasing the frequency and duration of painful
episodes. This may include adapting environments that tend to trigger pain. For example, if an office environment is identified as the cause of the pain or a primary trigger, occupation therapists can recommend adjustments and equipment to make that environment less conducive to pain. Occupational therapists also teach clients how to use the equipment so their pain decreases while they perform necessary tasks, such as those associated with their jobs. Many occupational therapists work in conjunction with other healthcare professionals who are treating their clients. This cooperation can help to determine the ideal course of treatment and may help patients hesitant to treat their conditions with medication find other avenues to overcome their chronic pain. Chronic pain is a potentially formidable foe that affects millions of people across the globe. Chronic pain sufferers can learn more about the role occupational therapists can play in combating their conditions by visiting www.aota.org.
How to shorten the duration of a cold
Few things can be as uncomfortable as the common cold. In their book “Common Cold,” authors Olaf Weber and Ronald Eccles say the common cold has been around since the ancient times. More than 200 virus strains can contribute to colds, but the rhinovirus is the most common. Colds produce a bevy of symptoms, including runny nose, congestion and sore throat, so it should come as no surprise that sufferers want to find relief fast. Colds typically last for a week or more. While there’s no cure for the common cold, according to The Mayo Clinic, there are some remedies that can help cold sufferers feel better more quickly. • Rest: One of the best things to do when you have a cold is to get adequate rest. Your body’s immune system is working overtime to combat the cold virus, and restricting activity can help it direct efforts where they’re needed most. Keep away from strenuous activities, and spend more time relaxing or sleeping to let your body do its job.
• Hydration: Consuming plenty of clear fluids can reduce congestion and ensure that you do not get dehydrated. Plus, warm beverages can be soothing to an irritated throat. Avoid coffee, caffeinated sodas and alcohol, which can exacerbate dehydration. • Saline rinses: Intranasal saline sprays, neti pots and similar products can help loosen mucus that is clogging the nose and sinus cavities, allowing it to flow out. This makes blowing your nose more effective and may help prevent post-nasal drip. Avoid prolonged use of medicated decongestant sprays. They may work well, but they can cause rebound congestion that’s worse than the original stuffiness. • Vitamin C: Vitamin C will not prevent colds, but it could help in other ways. Taking vitamin C before the onset of cold symptoms may shorten the duration of symptoms. Vitamin C also may provide benefits for people at high risk of colds due to frequent exposure, offers The Mayo Clinic. • Soup and tea: Soup
is an easy to digest meal that provides many of the necessary remedies for a cold, including warm broth to hydrate and soothe, antioxidant-rich vegetables and protein to help fuel the body’s recovery process. In 2000, Dr. Stephen Rennard of the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha actually tested if chicken soup clinically makes people with colds feel better. He found that chicken soup inhibited neutrophils, immune cells that cause congestion. Decaffeinated tea also may help you stay hydrated and relieve many cold symptoms. • Reinfection: Use cleaning products that are effective at killing viruses around the house to prevent reinfection and cold relapses. Also, avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth between hand-washings to keep germs at bay. Colds can be a nuisance. Most medicines will help relieve symptoms but cannot make colds go away faster. Natural remedies can help the body’s immune system work at its best and lessen the severity of a cold.

Author sees the good in others “And It Was Very Good: Everyday Moments of Awe” by Ed Olfert Published by DriverWorks Ink Review by Shelley A. Leedahl
I must begin this review with a disclaimer: I was hesitant to read and review this book, based on the recognizable Biblical quote in its title. I expected that within Ed Olfert’s pages I’d be subjected to Christian proselytizing, and I’m not particularly receptive to preaching of any kind. The quote, from Genesis 1:31, refers to God observing creation then stating “And it was very good.” Well, you know what they say about judging a book by its cover. (And in this case, the cover’s a particularly attractive photograph of what appears to be a Saskatchewan lake). I’m delighted to share that within just a few pages, my hesitancy vanished and I realized I was in for a darn good read. Firstly, the Laird, SK author comes to the
page rich with life experience. He’s from a “grease under the fingernails” Mennonite family, and his work experience includes mining, welding, truck driving, and “ministering a church”. He’s a father, a proud and connected grandfather, and a volunteer who has worked in Haiti, and he often works with the homeless and downtrodden locally. As Darryl Mills, managing editor of the Prince Albert Daily Herald – where these stories first appeared in Olfert’s column - writes, “[Olfert offers] a regular invitation for readers to really ponder their world a little more fully.” Yes. That’s it exactly. And Olfert’s rose-coloured glasses are welcome in a world where “a sea of pessimism” seems to be the norm. When a writer includes why they’ve written a book, I listen. Olfert explains that his point was to “identify glimpses [of God]” and “to savour those moments as powerful gifts.” He adds that there’s “Nothing earthshattering, momentous,
revolutionary” here, but I’ll argue that simplicity does not preclude profundity. The book’s filled with short anecdotes about people society-in-general might not consider extraordinary, yet Olfert finds that through their surprising words and deeds, they are indeed awesome, and can teach us all how to be better humans. Take Bill, a convicted sex offender, whom Olfert met though his work with Circle of Support and Accountability. The author’s story illustrates how Bill inspired him, and how “a hurting spirit rose above its woundedness.” Evident in story after story, Olfert’s habitual non-judgement is ultrainspiring. He recognizes that life can be difficult (indeed, he confesses that he suffers from

Cancer-related fatalities on the decline “Cancer” is a word that no person ever wants to hear in his or her lifetime. But millions of people are affected by cancer every year. Although a cancer diagnosis may be met with anger, sadness or denial, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The American Cancer Society states that the rate of death from cancer in the United States continues to decline among both men and women. Many types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, and lung, are also in decline among all major racial and ethnic groups. Things look promising across the globe as well. An international consortium of researchers led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation conducted their own research, which was published in JAMA Oncology in 2013. The findings indicated the death rates from cancer have been falling in many countries. Over a period of 23 years, age-
standardized death rates for all cancers fell in 126 out of 188 countries. In the United States, the number cancer-related deaths varies greatly based on geography. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, Utah has the fewest number of cancer fatalities. The southern United States, namely Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, have the highest rates of cancer deaths. Researchers surmise the differences in cancer incidence and deaths rates between states are largely due to behavioral, environmental and socioeconomic factors. While cancer rates may be increasing globally, cancer sufferers and their loved ones should know that more and more people are beating the disease. Prevention education, ongoing research and newly developed treatments are helping in the continued fight against cancer.
depression and takes anti-depressants), and asks us to consider some challenging questions, ie: “What are we prepared to do for the grandchildren of our enemies?” He sees holiness in unusual places: “in sharing a single life jacket,” for example, and in a vandal with FASD who destroyed the church’s grand piano, and in a “dusty warehouse”. What a gift to be able to see the good in others, rather than the foibles. I’m in awe of Olfert’s gift, and grateful that he’s shared it in this book … a book that I’d prejudged before I’d read a single word. I read these moving stories a handful at a time, and they were very good. This book is available at your local bookstore or from www.skbooks. com.

Backyard organic gardening
There are many reasons to avoid or limit the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides around the home, not the least of which is concern over health. Direct, unnecessary exposure to synthetic pesticides can impact yours and your family’s health especially your pets and children. Other reasons include protecting biodiversity, water and air. And so, many gardeners are making the choice to eliminate them entirely and go organic, using ‘green’ alternatives instead. For gardeners just starting down this path, it can be a challenge since we’ve come to rely on synthetic, conventional garden products to fertilize and control pests. Organic production takes an integrated approach using a combination of cultural, biological and mechanical practices. So what does it mean to ‘go organic’? To start, you need to re-educate yourself. For a list of allowable organic products, check out the Canadian Organic Standards (www.cog.ca). In the USA, the US Department of Agriculture-National Organic Program (www. ams.usda.gov/nop) maintains a similar list. In addition, there are several books (including Sara
Williams and Hugh Skinner ’s recent Gardening Naturally: A Chemical-free Handbook for the Prairies), magazines and blogs on the topic to help the new organic gardener. There is still a need to fertilize. Otherwise, you’re simply robbing the soil every time you harvest produce or mow the yard and remove the clippings, leading to lower vigor and productivity. Some organic soil amendments include organic sources of compost (no grass clippings from lawns fertilized with synthetic fertilizers or treated with weed killer), rotted manure (from organically raised livestock only), alfalfa pellets, kelp and peat (no synthetic wetting agents). Growing legumes and green manure crops will add nitrogen to the soil. And all of these add organic matter to the soil, enhancing the microbial activity and nutrient cycling; improving water and nutrient holding capacity and increasing tilth. The seed you sow must also be organically produced. Pelleted seed to improve handling of small seeds (e.g. carrot) is allowed, but fungicideand insecticide-treated seed is not. GMO seed is likewise not allowed in organic production.
Pulling, hoeing and tilling are your main weed control methods. But there’s also horticultural vinegar (strong acetic vinegar) for non-selective vegetation control; mulch (e.g. newspaper without glossy or coloured inks; wood chips; straw; plastic film [allowed under USDA regulations], etc.) for smothering weeds seeds and seedlings, and corn gluten for dandelion seedling control (also a nitrogen source). [Note: organic mulches (compost, peat, wood chips) have the added benefit of conserving soil moisture and moderating soil temperatures.] At the early stages of insect pest infestation, squishing is the most practical option. Insecticidal soaps, diatomaceous earth, horticultural/dormant oil and some botanical preparations (e.g. pyrethrum extracts but not synthetic pyrethroids) can be used to control larger infestations (read label and follow all safety precautions). These products are broad-spectrum killers so spray in a targeted manner and avoid spraying when bees and other pollinators are about. Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis, various strains) preparations control caterpillars (e.g. imported cabbage
worm). Often overlooked is the tireless effort of pests’ many natural enemies. Depending on the species, a single ladybird beetle can consume over 100 aphids per day. A great source of information on prairie insect pests and their natural enemies is the new Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s free Field Crop and Forage Pests and their Natural Enemies field guide by Hugh Philip (http://publications.gc.ca/collections/ collection_2015/aac-aafc/ A59-23-2015-eng.pdf). Cultural pest control methods include crop
rotation, using crop covers (large fabric covers), plant early or late to avoid the damaging stages of a pest’s lifecycle and growing non-GMO disease and insect resistant varieties. You can also grow a trap crop as a perimeter to concentrate the pest to one area, to keep them from the desired crop and to make control easier. Finally, there’s acceptance. Accept that you will have some less than perfect fruit and vegies. Accept that production may be less than if you used synthetic fertilizers and pest control prod-
ucts. Accept complete pest control is neither practical nor desirable if you want to maintain natural enemy populations.

Jays poised for playoffs ... if
Even as winter does its best to hang on in Saskatchewan with the arrival of April we know one thing as sports fan — the new baseball season is upon us. It is one reason I’ve always loved the game, it has a season that is defined closed by our own season. The Majors start in earnest when the snows are melting here, and frankly we all wish they were gone. April in reality may be a month where snow exists for us, but in our minds it is spring. And by the end of October fall fades and the season ends. There is a symmetry with the seasons that is sublime with baseball. Which of course is just the opposite with hockey. Locally the Terriers are often hitting the ice to start the process with August still showing on the calendar. And the Royal Bank Cup takes Junior hockey into May. The National Hockey League drags the Stanley Cup finals into June. Certainly many will argue with me on this one, but May and June are the coveted months for outdoors. It is not summer where the heat can make an even-
ing in front of a fan with a Blue Jays game on television a good thing. No it’s that nice time when you want to be out fishing, at the disc golf course, or maybe in the backyard pitching some horseshoes, not watching hockey. This year it won’t be a decision I will even have to think about. No Canadian team will make the NHL playoffs, meaning I have no team I care about to follow, so other than maybe remembering to check scores once in a while, hockey will not be something I care about once the regular season wraps up. So it is with some added interest I am looking forward to the Toronto Blue Jays this year. Coming off a loss in the American League Championship series to Kansas City there is of course high hopes. And those hopes should be warranted after last season, but there have also been a lot of changes in TO. Gone is Alex Anthopoulos who engineered last season’s run with some crafty trade deadline moves (remember David Price) that boasted the Jays into the playoffs. In is the Cleveland Indians regime, yes those perennially feared
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels Cleveland Indians (sarcasm intended), with new president and CEO Mark Shapiro in, with another Indians alum Ross Atkins hired as GM. On the field the Jays have been tweaked, and heading into the season they should be favoured in the AL East. Certainly on offence the team should slug their way to a lot of wins. Jose Bautista, Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion all flirted with 40 home runs last season, and the trio has that potential again. Add in Chris Colabello, Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Saunders who could easily club 60+ as a unit, and it’s obvious this team will score runs. Of course Encarnacion and Bautista are free agents at the end of this season, and both appear to want contracts that given their positions and age are not particularly palatable for the Jays, so they could be distractions. Still you
can’t exactly trade a free agent to be for anything useful to this year’s team, so the team is likely to have to hope they slug a ton, win it all, and then wave good bye at season’s end. The bullpen looks better from the get-go than as the team broke camp in 2015. Drew Storen is in as a closer. He had 29 saves with the train wreck Washington Nationals last season, but had lost favour by season’s end. If he has his old form he’s a great addition. If not there is still Roberto Osuna with 20 saves of his own, most second half efforts in 2015. He will be a shut-down eighth inning guy at least that seems the game plan. Brett Cecil is a lefty missed in the playoffs last year who slots in as the seventh inning man. It’s a bullpen backend that is at least above average, if it all works. And that brings us to the area of the team where
the big question marks reside, the starting staff. Marcus Stroman is the ‘star’. He had four starts before the playoff last season, missing the rest of the campaign recovering from an injury. This will essentially be his sophomore year, the one hitters tend to learn pitching patterns and get an upper hand. That and how ready his arm is for 200 innings are big questions for the guy that needs to flirt with 18 wins. The Jays were savvy in re-signing Marco Estrada in the off season. He was 13-8 with a 3.13 ERA, his best as a pro. That would normally be worrisome, but this guy’s control reminds of Greg Maddux, and I think he’ll be fine, although I’m not sure we can expect many more wins than in 2015. R.A. Dickey was 11-11 and ate 214 innings. That’s it from an aging knuckleballer, although those innings are big in helping a bullpen. J.A. Happ was the big free agent signing for the Jays. All right, you got me. It was a signing. The word big for a journeyman pitcher does not fit. He had 11 wins in 2015. That might be 13-14 with the Jays offence, but the AL is tougher than the NL where
Happ toiled last year, so do not bet on it. Aaron Sanchez could be the upside starter. He was in the bullpen last year and looked good, but pundits want him to start. If that’s the case you might as well break camp with him and see what he can do. That leaves Drew Hutchinson who was the opening day starter in 2015, and had 13 wins, more than either Happ or Dickie, in the minors. He did have a horrible ERA at 5.57, but a demotion that far could break this guy’s psyche. I rather wish they’d trade him for an asset, and give him a chance to start fresh. This group is not a disaster as starters, but if a wheel wobbles here and there, it could be. There is not a proven ace, and except for Sanchez, the upside is limited, and may be less significant if it happened than most think. Say Sanchez has 15 wins, huge for a first full year starter. That is only two more than the displaced Hutchinson, and one game in the actual standings. If the Jays are headed back to the ALCS and beyond, it will need to be offence driven, and sadly in the playoffs pitching ultimately wins out most of the time.
New-look Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic launches
Parkland College is now accepting team registrations and corporate partnerships for the 11th annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic, scheduled for June 24 at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton. The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is Parkland College’s major scholarship fundraising event. All proceeds go the College’s scholarship fund. Last year’s event raised over $25,000 for students enrolled in programs at Parkland College. “The success of this tournament makes a huge difference to our students,” said Brendan Wagner, chairperson of the Dollars for Scholars
planning committee. “Our golfers and sponsors truly make this event. Without their support, we wouldn’t be able to offer nearly as many scholarship opportunities as we do.” The College also announced that the event will have a new look when golfers tee off on June 24. After rolling out a special 10th anniversary logo last year, the tournament now has a new, modern, permanent set of logos. The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic’s new visual identity features a primary crest logo complemented by a package of alternate marks – including a grad cap perched on a
golf ball. The set uses a navy blue and gold colour scheme. The new identity will appear on all promotional and advertising tools and event-day materials. To register a team or become a sponsor for the Dollars for Scholars
Golf Classic, call 306.728.6595, email dollarsforscholars@ parklandcollege.sk.ca, or visit www.parklandcollege.sk.ca. About Us: Parkland College strives to help students in East Central
Saskatchewan achieve their goals and build the foundation for successful careers. Students can choose from a wide array of educational options, including university degrees, skills training diplomas and certifi-
cates, trades training, high school upgrading, safety training, and corporate/professional development. Parkland College is a learner-centered organization and is proud to be one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers for 2016.

Eating right can improve quality of life Legend states that on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León was the first European to discover modern-day Florida when he traveled on a quest for the mythical “Fountain of Youth.” While modern science has proven that there is no mystical fountain or body of water that can reverse or slow down the aging process, there are many steps people can take to age well and prolong their lives. Eating the right foods is one way to age well. According to Ralph Felder, M.D., Ph.D., coauthor of “The Bonus Years Diet,” reversing the aging process internally is more difficult than outward cosmetic changes. But the right foods can go a long way toward increasing both life expectancy and quality of life. Those who want to employ diet to increase their life expectancy may want to start adding more of the following foods to their breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. • Broccoli, grapes
and salad: According to Health magazine, researchers have found that compounds in these three foods boast extra life-extending benefits. • Berries: In addition to their abundance of antioxidants, berries have other benefits. A 2012 study from Harvard University found that at least one serving of blueberries or two servings of strawberries each week may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in older adults. • Fruits and vegetables: Produce is good for the body because it’s low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. Numerous studies have indicated that diets plentiful in fruits and vegetables help people maintain a healthy weight and protect against cardiovascular disease. • Whole grains: Whole grains pack a lot of nutrition into a low-calorie food. Whole grains help protect against type 2 diabe-
tes, and researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center found study participants whose diets included plenty of whole grains and fruit cut their heart disease risk by almost half compared to those whose diets favored meat and fatty foods. • Red wine: A glass a day for women and no more than two glasses daily for men can be beneficial. Moderate consumption of red wine has been shown to slow age-related declines in cardiovascular function, according to the American Heart Association. • Fiber: Increase your fiber intake for a longer life. Research from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds that the more fiber you include in your diet, the lower your risk of coronary heart disease. The daily recommendation is 25 to 35 grams. While there may be no such thing as the fountain of youth, a healthy diet can help men and women prolong their lives.
