BBBS revives the Soap Box Derby By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The soap box derby is alive again in Yorkton. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area, with the support of SaskCulture and SaskEnergy, has revived the old tradition with the Big Brothers Big Sisters Soap Box Derby. The inaugural event brought out five BBBS teams and one crew from the community to race down Roslyn Ave. Irma Van de BonNichol, executive director of BBBS Yorkton and Area, says that bringing

the soap box derby back was an idea that came from the kids themselves as well as the mentors in the organization. “We talk to the children we serve, and our bigs, and we listen. We thought it would be a really awesome activity for people to work interactively with the children, and to let them experience building something right from the grass roots up. They were part of the build, part of the paint, part of the racing and running the day.” While assisted by people with some expertise, Van de Bon-Nichol says

that it was an event that was lead by the children. For example, the painting of the cars, while the children were assisted by Don Stein, Darwin Keshane and Jeanne Spilak, the design of the cars was driven by the kids and what they wanted to see on their team vehicles. The gravity-based racers also had a good location thanks to the hill on Roslyn Ave. Van de BonNichol says it was the ideal location to host the event, with the right amount of speed to keep things entertaining while staying safe.

QUEEN CITY MARATHON – Yorkton was represented at the 15th annual Queen City Marathon in Regina, with 42 runners participating in the event. The marathon, held September 13, attracted 5,500 participants to run distances of 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km and 5km, as well as shorter distances for younger participants and full marathon relay teams. The Yorkton runners would like to thank the community for their strong support.

The organization plans to grow the event each year, and the plan for 2016 is to see more teams from the community taking part and building cars of their own. Those with long memories might remember that the Scouts were the last group to run a soap box derby event in the city. Van de Bon-Nichol

says that they are optimistic that the Scouts will again be a part of the race in coming years. “A couple of the leaders we have talked to are excited about putting this on again and joining us in future years.” The goal of the event was to have a fun day for kids, and they achieved what they set out to do in that respect.

“The children are having a blast, and we realize how much they like to be part of the whole experience.”

WATER REPAIRS – Residents of Sixth Ave North woke up without water on the morning of September 29, as a replacement service to an existing home on the street was installed by city crews. The water was off for an hour and a half as the work was completed.

CULTURE DAYS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yorkton celebrated Culture Days on the last weekend of September, with different groups putting on events to share culture with the people of the city. That included ballroom dancing and yoga demonstrations by Body Poetry Studio and films by the Yorkton Film Festival at the New Horizons Seniors Hall and at the Family Resource Centre, live performers by Free My Muse Theatre, storytelling presented by the Yorkton Public Library and other events across different locations in the city.

Stars for Sask begins 2015-16 concert series The 2015-16 season of Stars for Saskatchewan features a wide range of acts, promising something for everyone. The season kicks off with a blast from the past, as Abbamania and Night Fever bring disco back with the music of ABBA and the Bee Gees. The show features 9 musicians, and all the spectacle with choreography, costume changes, a live band and a big studio sound. This show is October 1. The season continues with Diyet on October 22. The contemporary aboriginal artist is said to leave listeners with a sense of hope and possibility, with lyrics that paint a vivid picture of her surroundings and the events that happen in her world. Next up is Ken Lavigne on November 8. Lavingeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is an autobiography, retelling his campaign to get on stage at Carnegie Hall

with ballads, show tunes and classical crossover hits. The beginning of December brings Quartette, coming to the city on December 3. The group, which first performed on the Toronto Harbourfront in the summer of 1993, is a musical mosaic with flavours of folk, country, bluegrass and swing, a sound with roots in traditional forms. Next up is the Travelling Mabels, taking advantage of the leap year by coming to town February 29.

More help for first time homebuyers available Home ownership. It is a dream most Canadians share. And once you’re in, however modest the place, it is a generator of wealth. As a person or family builds equity, they are saving for the future, an opportunity, perhaps, to upgrade. For many, however, the problem is getting their foot in, literally, the door. Many abandon the dream and simply accept they are destined to be a renter. It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. There is a little known program in Yorkton designed to help first-time homebuyers get into the market. HeadStart on a Home is a provincial government entry-level real estate initiative. Provincially, the goal of the program is to build 1,500 homes by the end of 2016. Of those, 35 are slated for Yorkton, of which 29 have already been built. Several are currently on the market in the CJ Houston development near St. Mary’s Ukrainian Church and at Fifth Avenue Estates Phase II near Jubilee Park. There are some rules. Candidates must have a total household income level less than $78,400, be a first time buyer and have been renting for at least six months previously. These things are easy enough for a lot of people, but the most prohibitive of the requirements is a minimum 10 per cent down payment. Even a starter home in Yorkton is currently the $200,000 to $275,000 range. For low or even middle-income families, it can be almost impossible to come up with $20,000. That is where the program’s partners come into play. Credit Unions across the province—in Yorkton it is Cornerstone Credit Union—will lend eligible buyers loans at prime for up to five per cent of the down payment repayable over five years. The other half of the down payment is available from the City of Yorkton in the form of a tax deferment. Basically, the city gives the buyer the money up front and recoups it through property taxes over a period of up to six years. Strangely, in the four years the program has been available, the City has only received one applicant. Perhaps it has been a lack of awareness. Or maybe the maximum income threshold was a bit too low (Council just raised it from $60,000 to $78,400 at its regular meeting Monday). Whatever the reason, it is unfortunate because this is an amazing deal. One would think people would be lining up to take advantage of it.

Workers choice laws a logical step While new federal legislation improves union accountability, unionized workers in Canada’s private sector still face a lack of choice when it comes to joining and financially supporting a union, finds a new report released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “Governments could give workers a true reason to celebrate Labour Day by enacting worker choice legislation that would empower workers, ensuring they can decide for themselves if they want to join and financially support a union,” said Charles Lammam, co-author of Improving Union Accountability with Worker Choice and director of fiscal studies at the Fraser Institute. Currently, workers can be forced to become union members and pay union dues as a condition of employment. The report follows the recent Royal Assent given to Bill C-377, federal legislation that requires Canada’s labour organizations to publicly disclose basic financial information (such as expenditures, revenue, and their financial position) and details on how much money and time is spent on political and social causes. While the new law makes it easier for workers and interested third parties to learn how unions spend membership dues, Canadian workers can still be forced to join a union and pay full dues even if they disagree with the causes that unions spend resources on. By contrast, laws that allow workers to opt-out of paying full union dues exist in 25 out of the 50 U.S. states (the so-called Right-to-Work states). In the remaining 25 states, workers are required to pay partial dues but can opt-out

of dues that are allocated for activities unrelated to labour representation. In all U.S. states, workers can opt out of union membership. The report notes that unionization rates are lower in jurisdictions where workers have more choice. In Right-toWork states, the private sector unionization rate (4.7 per cent) is less than half the rate in non-Right-to-Work states (9.6 per cent). By comparison, the 2014 rate in Canada is much higher at 16.8 per cent. “Worker choice laws don’t prevent unionization but they empower workers by giving them a choice,” Lammam said. The legislation and its outcomes in the United States suggest that, when workers are given more choice, union leadership becomes more accountable and responsive to its membership. For example, a recent American study found that union workers in Right-to-Work states pay dues that are, on average, 14 to 15 per cent less than union members in states with less worker choice. The study also found that salaries of union executives tend to be lower in Right-to-Work states. “When union membership and dues aren’t mandatory, unions must convince workers of the merits of unionization and the value of paying union dues,” Lammam said. Research also points to worker choice laws leading to a stronger labour market and economy — all things that would truly benefit workers. One study found that from 1977 to 2010, worker choice laws were associated with a 1.8 per cent spike in state-level economic growth and a one per cent jump in employment levels.

The amount of hate for Muslims is frightening When one reads of terrible events in history, one might wonder what it was like in the lead up to that event. What was it like to be the average man in Germany in the 1920s and ‘30s, what was it like to be the average woman in Rwanda in the early 1990s? It’s a question you ask yourself because you wonder if you would have known what was about to take place, if it was possible to see it coming, and whether you could see the signs if something similar were to happen today. Unfortunately, it is beginning to feel like I’m finding out what it’s like to be in that modern equivalent of the terrible events of the past. This time around, it’s a growing movement of people who are expressing an anti-Muslim sentiment, to the point where it’s beginning to feel as though we’re in the middle of a frightening growing hatred of a single group, based solely on the religion they follow. It’s not hateful people as a rule, many are otherwise intelligent, reasonable people who have been infected by an intense irrational hatred of this group. People who are otherwise normal suddenly driven to rage over the thought of “terrorists,” painting everyone in the same religion with the same broad brush, openly declaring them to be some kind of enemy of the country.

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger It has been absorbed into the current election campaign, with a debate about niqabs – head coverings worn by some, but definitely not all, Muslim women – becoming an issue, even though it does not matter to the vast majority of Canadian Muslims, let alone the vast majority of Canadians as a whole. It’s been a big part of the current debate over refugees, as people justify closing borders by pointing to organizations like ISIS, who also happen to be the people who these refugees are fleeing from, afraid for their lives because they don’t agree with the group. People in the region have been radicalized, that happens when a group feels they have been persecuted against and becomes angry at the group they believe is causing their problems – and it’s

not a Muslim only problem, see the FLQ in Quebec or the IRA in Ireland for other examples in the recent past – but that doesn’t say anything at all about the religion itself or the majority of people who follow it. Whether or not you agree with them, the majority of Muslims are reasonable people, just as the majority of most people tend to trend towards reasonable. We shouldn’t judge someone based on the fringe edges of their religion, just as we shouldn’t judge them based on skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else arbitrary. Yet, here we have people who have an astonishing amount of hate for a group of people. It’s frightening, because when you have people who hate another group with this amount of fervor, it begins to go down a path towards violence. Some people who harbour this hatred have said that Muslims go against “Canadian values.” But the Canada I grew up in accepts people, whatever our differences are. That’s why so many of us have had the chance to grow up here, in the past people were able to come to Canada when they felt unsafe in the countries where they were born. It’s should be against Canadian values to openly hate a group of people because of their religion, yet it’s happening, which is frightening.

Expanding refugee health care

Prioritizing key to successful infrastructure spending

OTTAWA, ON/ Troy Media/ - The haunting image of Alan Kurdi’s lifeless body lying face down on a Turkish beach have prompted many Canadians to ask what we can do as a country to help Syrian refugees. Unfortunately, our search for an answer has rarely moved past how many Syrian refugees we should admit, how soon and by which means. This is unfortunate. While there is no question that refugee resettlement should be an important component of our collective action, our humanitarian response to the Syrian refugee crisis must go beyond this. The extraordinary challenges refugees face throughout their migration process, including before and after their resettlement, also demands our attention. One challenge in particular - access to proper health care - is critical, both for Syrian refugees remaining in the region and many of those who have arrived in Canada, because lack of health care has dire consequences for the wellbeing of refugees and can also stand in the way of their integration into new environments. Access to health care for the four million Syrian refugees living in neighbouring countries has been severely hampered by the funding shortage facing aid agencies. This year, for

example; as of June the UN High Commission for Refugees and its partners have secured only 17 per cent of the US$369 million needed for the health-related humanitarian initiatives in the region. As a result, UN-operated clinics in 10 of the 18 Iraqi districts have been forced to close. In Jordan, only half of the war-wounded have been able to access necessary nursing care. Refugees in Lebanon in need of certain life-saving treatments, including kidney dialysis, chemotherapy and care for extremely pre-term infants, have lost UN subsidies and must now find ways to pay for their medical costs privately. Syrian refugees who arrive in Canada also encounter barriers accessing medically necessary services because of cuts to the federal refugee health care program implemented in June 2012. Although the Federal Court ruled in July last year that these changes to refugee health care were cruel and unusual and therefore unconstitutional - the government is now appealing the decision. Meanwhile, gaps in refugee health care coverage persist. According to the current federal policy, most privately sponsored refugees and refugee claimants are not entitled to either supplemental benefits or prescription drugs unless they are

required to treat conditions that pose a threat to public health or public safety. As such, Syrian refugees injured in the war and in need of prostheses or mobility aids must pay for them out of pocket. Those seeking support for mental illness, which is common among refugees, receive no financial assistance when consulting a clinical psychologist or when requiring psychotropic drugs. Refugees living with chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension must also shoulder the cost of their medications on their own. This latter point is especially salient in the context of Syrian refugees. In 2011, before the onset of the civil war, over three-quarter of all deaths in Syria were reportedly attributable to non-communicable diseases. There are, however, immediate steps that the Canadian government can take to facilitate Syrian refugees’ access to health care - both abroad and here at home. As a country, we must boost our humanitarian aid to frontline organizations that work tirelessly to meet the needs of refugees in Syria and adjacent countries. The government’s recent announcement that it will match private donations made between now and the end of the year is a crucial first step, but, with the

refugee situation becoming protracted, we must commit to longer-term funding support. Critically, the federal government should discontinue its appeal of the Federal Court’s ruling and fully reverse the cuts to the refugee health care program in Canada. These measures will not only attend to the basic needs of refugees, but also contribute to the success of Canada’s resettlement program. Restoring health care access will reduce the outof-pocket health care costs of refugees and ease the financial burden of private refugee sponsors. Access to health care will also help maintain or even improve refugees’ well-being and sense of hope which can only help to encourage their active participation in the host community. The protection of health care access for refugees must be a key element of Canada’s humanitarian response to the Syrian refugee crisis. We can’t start too soon. Y.Y.

Customers deserve fairness in liquor competition

To the Editor:

This column was originally printed in the Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix on Sept. 28, 2015 Selling liquor in Saskatchewan is a rigged game. The different players have different rules and, even worse, different pricing structures. And it adds up to a raw deal for Saskatchewanians buying a six pack of Pil or bottle of rye. But what if it wasn’t rigged? What if every off-sale and rural franchise could deliver the same selection, service and pricing that’s available in the new private stores such as Sobey’s and Co-op? Is there any doubt that consumers would be the winners in that kind of competitive market? The Saskatchewan government will unveil a new liquor policy this fall. The success or failure of the new policy will rest on one simple issue: fairness. If the government continues to enforce an unfair pricing structure, the new policy will be a failure regardless of any other tinkering. If the government delivers fairness in pricing, every liquor retailer will be free to compete and the reform will be a success. Theoretically, there are lots of competitors in the liquor arena: 450 off-sales, 190 rural franchises, 75 government stores and now four private full-line stores. But it’s not a fair competition. Here’s how the liquor retailing

game is currently rigged. Liquor franchises, the rural grocery stores that sell booze along with bread and milk, have to sell liquor at the same price as government stores. Then the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority provides a 15.3 per cent discount back to franchises. However, most franchises aren’t allowed to sell standard beers such as Pilsner and the government dictates which beers they can sell cold. Off-sales, such as hotels and brew pubs that sell liquor, face a completely different pricing structure. They have to buy booze from the SLGA at retail prices and there are no discounts, but they can sell it at any price. That’s why a case of beer or a bottle of vodka costs a lot more at the local hotel. Off-sales can buy a limited selection of standard beers (e.g. Pilsner) directly from brewers and get discounts of 10.25 per cent to 13.52 per cent. And off-sales can put all kinds of beer in the fridge. Then there are the four full-line private stores such as Sobey’s and Co-op. Those stores get a discount of 16 per cent off of the government retail price on everything they buy. Technically, the government lets them set their own prices, carry any products they want and make their own decisions as to what should go in the fridge. Of course, they can’t sell for less than 16 per cent off the government store price or they’d lose money. But at least this little bit of freedom is obvious to consumers who are flocking to the new private

stores. Industry members are clearly tired of being forced to give their customers a raw deal. In its submission to the Saskatchewan government’s liquor review, the Saskatchewan Liquor Vendors Association calls on the government to “adopt the same discount structure for private franchises as the private full-line liquor stores currently receive.” The Saskatchewan Hotels and Hospitality Association, which represents most off-sales, makes a similar point and calls for a “single uniform wholesale price for all retailers.” Restaurants Canada demands to “be granted equal access to discounted pricing.” The simplest way to achieve fairness would be for the government to leave liquor retailing, allow responsible private stores to take over, and then play its proper role to regulate and tax the industry. But even if the government wants to hold on to its liquor stores it must ensure fairness by giving every liquor retailer access to the same prices, selection and regulations. That will put every off-sale and rural franchise on the same level playing field with government stores and the new private stores. For consumers, that would be the biggest step forward in liquor retailing since Prohibition. Todd MacKay is the Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

To the Editor: With the collapse in energy prices and the decline of manufacturing, the new panacea for economic salvation is “infrastructure”. Governments need to curb their enthusiasm, however, to avoid building up massive debt for future generations. All three federal parties are campaigning on promises of new funds for public infrastructure spending. This is on top of plans in provinces such as Alberta, which has promised a major increase in provincial infrastructure spending in its October budget and Ontario, which in its spring budget announced plans for $130 billion in infrastructure spending over 10 years. At the federal level, Justin Trudeau has announced a Liberal government would run deficits and invest $60 billion over 10 years in infrastructure spending across Canada. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, annual federal spending on infrastructure is at about $5 billion and the Conservatives have announced a new $1 billion annual public transit infrastructure fund. Meanwhile, the NDP is promising increases in municipal infrastructure spending via the federal gas tax transfer program to $3.7 billion annually by the fourth year of their mandate. As well, they would spend $1.3 billion annually on public transit. Spending on public infrastructure after its 20th century decline has gained new favour. Raising our capital stock in transportation, water, power and communications infrastructure is supposed to create construction jobs in the short run - thereby boosting employment and income - and build productive capacity in the long run by reducing business costs - further stimulating economic growth. Indeed, the Conference Board of Canada estimates that for every $1 billion in infrastructure spending, 16,700 jobs are created for one year and GDP is boosted by $1.14 billion. On the surface, it is hard to argue against spending money on capital projects designed to boost our productivity. Yet, in our haste to stimulate the economy, we run the risk of wasting tax dollars if we build poorly designed or unnecessary infrastructure as well as bid up the cost of building. Key to any infrastructure building is the need to develop a list of priorities - no easy task given the federal nature of our system of government with its overlapping jurisdictions. More importantly, what exactly is the size of infrastructure gap that we are addressing? There is a wide range of estimates. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities estimated that Canada has fallen behind in infrastructure spending on water systems, transportation, waste management and communities by $123 billion since the 1950s. The McKinsey Global Institute has estimated that Canada must invest $66 billion by 2023 into maintaining roads and bridges. Upgrading Canada’s electricity infrastructure alone by 2030 could cost another $300 billion, according to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, with the total infrastructure deficit as high as $570 billion. Another study by the Canada West Foundation estimated the accumulated infrastructure debt at $123 billion for existing infrastructure with an additional $110 billion for new infrastructure for a total of $233 billion. A report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives estimated that, depending on your target, annual spending could range from $60 to $75 billion annually - an amount substantially higher than that allocated during the peak years of the Great Recession stimulus program. Over 10 years, this amounts to $600 to $750 billion in spending. Infrastructure spending is an important policy problem for Canada, given that public infrastructure has deteriorated. At the same time, we may be embarking on substantial expenditures without a firm estimate and without a systematic approach to prioritizing needs. We need to know if we are embarking on a long-term program that will spend as little as $200 billion or as much as $750 billion. If the latter, then all of the proposed spending by our politicians probably represents a mere drop in the bucket. We need to know what projects should receive priority and where. Even with the lowest interest rates in 50 years to facilitate borrowing, this is a recipe for an expensive debtfinanced spending spree the likes of which we have never witnessed. Getting this wrong would be a spending boondoggle of gargantuan proportions. Livio Di Matteo, Professor of Economics at Lakehead University. © 2015 Distributed by Troy Media

With over 400 pumpkins available, she says her plan is to donate some of the larger ones to local schools, but she is selling the rest at her market garden across from Yorkton Memorial Gardens. She says most of the proceeds from pumpkin sales will be directed towards Ride for Sight. Yaholnitsky also invited children from a local school to visit the garden, learn about how produce is grown and even pick their own vegetables. Photo by Devin Wilger

A few post eclipse comments

So, if you live in or about Yorkton and were inspired to step out on the 27th to catch the start of the lunar eclipse, you would have noticed that, after a beautiful sunny day, the clouds rolled in right before moonrise. I had predicted a clear evening and a Rider loss, and in spite of promising to not watch, I admit to stepping out briefly to check the skies around 6 p.m. I have no one to blame but myself, except maybe Galileo. More on that later. Luckily, the universe took pity a little after 8

p.m, and cleared the skies to allow those locals who persisted to see the event from mideclipse to its conclusion. Eclipses are far more impressive if you get to watch from the beginning, but at least we got the consolation prize of seeing how it ended. Regardless of your view, I hope you saw enough to pique your interest in our Earth’s companion. Of all the objects in the night sky, the most dominant by far is the Moon. Recorded in carvings and paintings long before we had written

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. records, the Moon has always played a prominent part in our civilization’s history. This is how it was four hundred years ago when Galileo first turned his telescope toward it; the religious philosophy of the day stated that

the Moon, being in the heavens, could be nothing other than a perfect sphere. Understandably, then, when Galileo wrote that it appeared ‘uneven’ and ‘rough’, things did not go well for him. A lesser known story has it clouding over when the

Roman Inquisition went to check, but that’s not important here. Luckily for us, we currently have more flexible ideas and far better optics; even the most inexpensive of telescopes will show the ‘uneven & rough’ terrain of our natural satellite. Like the Earth, the Moon is covered in mountains and valleys, and with no erosion, all as sharply defined as they were when they formed billions of years ago. The Moon is only in the sky at a convenient time for half the month.

Around each First Quarter (the 20th this month), deep shadows feature the terrain in great relief, giving it a very three-dimensional look. A Full Moon is best for showing the rays of debris streaking out for hundreds of kilometers from a few of the larger craters, so different phases show different things. Eclipses are not the only time the Moon should come to mind; it is a marvelous landscape all on its own, available many cloudless evenings from your own back yard.

Alliums for Prairie Gardens - time to plant is NOW! Part I

You need a vivid imagination to perceive the lowly onion (Allium cepa), the odorous garlic (A. sativum) or even common chives (A. schoenoprasum) as particularly ornamental, yet with more than 400 species scattered around the world, the genus Allium provides dozens of plants which are not only extremely ornamental but have proven hardy on the Canadian prairies. The time to plant is now! There is no mistaking that these plants are members of the onion family. bruise a leaf and the characteristic smell is there. But the flip side is that the flowers of many of these species are indeed quite fragrant. And if you could ask any honeybee, it would tell you that Allium nectar is irresistible! One common characterisitic that many of the ornamental onions share is the development of bulbs as a storage organ for food and water. Typically, they produce a rosette of leaves early int he growing season, followed by flowering stems. Once flowers begin to open, their leaves dry and fall off and by mid-July only flower stalks and seed head remain. This growth habit evolved in dessert species to take advantage of early spring moisture, escaping heat and drought through dormancy by late summer. Bulbous alliums are often overplanted with low annuals or perennial groundcovers. Rhizomatous ornamental onions, such as chives, maintain green foliage throughout the summer. Their care is undemanding: good drainage and full sun. They thrive with a minimum of moisture. Some of these ornamental onions are both promiscuous and prolific. Deadheading (removing the flower heads before they go to seed) is critical to prevent their sometimes rampant spread. Many lack common names but are available through garden centres and mail order cata-

It might sound like a mouthful at first, but taking note of these will get you what you want. Shorter alliums for the rock garden or front of the border: Two yellow-flowered species (20-45 cm tall) are A. moly – a rich yellow with up-facing flowers – and A. flavum – a paler yellow with an airy more star-burst appearance. ‘Jeannine’, a selection of A. moly produces flower umbels twice the size of the species. A strain of A. fla-

vum called ‘Fireworks’ is a mix of rose, yellow, white and purplishpink. Within the same height range is A. oreophilum (aka A. ostrowskianum), a lovely apple-blossom pink with up-facing flowers. A. cernuum, native to North America, is a similar shade of pink, but with nodding flower heads. Put A. karataviense in a conspicuous spot. Low with large 12 cm flower heads, it has two or three very wide ornamental leaves that hug the ground in a couple of tight spirals.

While the flowers of this species are typically a very pale pink, those of ‘Ivory Cream’ are a creamy white.

Mid-border Alliums: A. caeruleum (also listed as A. azureum) is somewhat taller with intense true blue flowers, a color quite uncommon among the onions. A sphaerocephalum is noted for its tight head of red-purple flowers in mid-summer. The flower heads dry well, retaining their true colour. This species also prefers abundant summer moisture, unlike many of its relatives that much prefer a summer dry down. A. aflatunese and its variety ‘Purple Sensation’ are a little taller (60-75 cm) and bloom a little later in late June or July with large (8-10 cm) rosepurple flower heads.

You can encourage your baby to recognize themselves by pointing out their reflection in the mirror. You can also point to your own reflection and tell your baby what they

Street Symphony – A collection of shorts

Review by Shelley A. Leedahl

Rachel Wyatt’s short story collection, Street Symphony, opens with an epigraph from Emily Dickinson: “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul”. The epigraph is wisely chosen; in several of the 17 stories the protagonists are unhappy, and for good reason - job losses, accidents, partners’ deaths – and thus hope for a brighter tomorrow is what they cling to. These are characters for whom “The universe had tilted.” There’s Jason, in the story “Salvage,” who lost his wife in a car accident after they’d had a fight about her desire to get a pet fish. In the aftermath of her death Jason empties much of his furniture into a dumpster, and accidentally “bakes” some of his wife’s photographs in the oven with the lasagna. “But he sat on the floor and ate it as a penance, charred paper and all. He knew now that he had to suffer in order for the world to tilt back to its proper axis.” The story is a powerful examination of grief, which can certainly defy logic, and it’s also representative of how Wyatt laces her serious and often bizarre-situa-

Sask Books Review

tion stories with humour. In “Pandora’s Egg,” poor Dan, a soldier who’d served in Afghanistan, returns home with a man’s body and a child’s mind. His doctors recommend “creative work” to help aid his recovery, so he makes birdhouses. Wyatt writes that he “watched endless game shows in the afternoons and slept like a child in the spare room on a nest he’d made from blankets and pillows” while his wife, Erin, struggles with their new reality. I found Maura, the main character in “Falling Woman,” especially credible. The woman observes another woman falling – or perhaps being pushed – off a rooftop to her death, and Maura both suppresses the urge to “Facebook” the event (and take a “selfie” with the corpse), and lets the tragedy consume her to the point of paranoia. Eve from “It’s Christmas, Eve,” is a

widow who lies to concerned family and friends about having plans for Christmas. What they don’t know is that Eve’s husband had been unfaithful to her, a fact she did not learn until after his death. “Posthumous betrayal could eat up your heart and soul and leave no place for life,” according to her counsellor. The dark matter of these stories could make for an overly heavy book if it weren’t for Wyatt’s well-placed humour, like these lines regarding the writing course that seniors Roland and Ella enrolled in: “They spent an hour going over his little attempt at narrative and by the time they were done he was

exhausted and wondered why he’d sign up for this form of torture” and “When he said goodbye, he’d hugged her and whispered into her hearing aid, ‘Thank you very much.” Wyatt has published

numerous books and has had stage plays produced in Canada, the US and the UK. Dialogue is her strong point: to hear these characters talking is sheer entertainment. This book is available at your local bookstore or

LOCO has just begun a new research project into the impact of online shopping on local business. Online shopping represents a large and increasing part of the Canadian economy. However, many of the dollars spent leak out of our economy to US Corporations. A 2013 report produced for Vancity reported that two out of every three dollars spent online by Canadians go to US retail websites.

Jane is a beautiful, sweet girl who is a nurse and looking for the right man. Jane has never been married, has no children, and no baggage. She loves football, hockey, going to concerts, and just being outdoors. She is very down to earth and easy to get along with. She’s a great listener and always wants to help others. Jane is not one to go to bars, and has had a hard time meeting the right person in her small community. She is very open and accepting of people. She’s non-judgmental, and cares more about who someone is on the inside rather than on the outside. She’s looking for a good man who is energetic, fun, adventurous, has a good sense of humor, is down-to-earth, and is a little bit romantic.
