Don’t panic about pensions: Breitkreuz

There are a lot of misconceptions swirling says Yorkton/ Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz and he wants to set the record straight.

Speculation into potential adjustments to Old Age Security (OAS) has many Canadians asking questions about the current status and future of the federal government’s financial retirement assistance program.

“We need to be perfectly clear about any changes being considered,” says Breitkreuz.

“No one currently receiving

“We need to be perfectly clear about any changes being considered... No one currently receiving Old Age Security cheques will be affected...” – Breitkreuz Old Age Security cheques will be affected, nor will anyone who is nearing retirement, but Canadians must understand that changes need to be considered or there will be no OAS for future generations.”

Currently there are two federal programs in place to provide financial assistance

to older Canadians: Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The CPP is funded through premiums that working Canadians pay with each paycheque. It is also on a secure and sustainable path and therefore does not need to be changed. The OAS, however, is funded pri-

marily through taxes paid by working people and is unsustainable says Breitkreuz on its current course. A few simple facts: • The number of Canadians over the age of 65 will increase from 4.7 million to 9.3 million over the next 20 years.

• The cost of the OAS pro-

gram will increase from $36 billion per year in 2010 to $108 billion per year in 2030.

Today’s entire federal budget is $237 billion.

• By 2030, the number of taxpayers for every senior will be two, down from four in 2010.

“If we ignore the reality of our aging population, OAS will not survive to financially assist our children and grandchildren in the future,” adds Breitkreuz.

If things go as planned, Saskatchewan motorists will be looking at higher costs to get around in the coming months.

SGI has submitted a proposal to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (SRRP) for rate rebalancing. SGI is also proposing a net increase of 3.7 per cent for Saskatchewan Auto Fund rates.

Rebalancing helps promote fairness in rating says SGI President and CEO Andrew Cartmell.

Saskatchewan RCMP, and SGI are reminding motorists of the risks involved with using cellphones to talk or text while driving.

In recent months, cellphone use has been identified as a possible cause in two fatal collisions in the province, according to RCMP. “We’ve seen a disturbing trend over recent years regarding the use of hand-held devices while driving,� says Insp. Andy Landers, O i/c “F� Division Traffic Services, RCMP. “Driving a vehicle demands your complete attention and if you’re not fully committed to that task you’re putting yourself and others at a serious risk.�

A recent SGI survey found that 94 per cent of respondents considered talking or texting while driving a major problem in Saskatchewan. In fact, distracted driving outranked even impaired driving as the number one road safety concern in the province. “Despite public perception of distracted driving as a key traffic safety concern, it remains the number one contributing factor in all collisions in Saskatchewan,� adds Kwei Quaye, Assistant Vice President of Traffic Safety Services at SGI. “A quarter of all crashes in the province can be linked to driver distraction, so there is obviously

In 2010, there were nearly 8,500 collisions involving distracted driving in the province, resulting in 60 deaths and more than 2,300 injuries. “Since the law came into effect regarding cellphone usage and driving, Police Services have been diligently enforcing this law,� said Chief Troy Hagen, Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police. “While there have been some changes in cellphone behavior there remains a significant number of drivers using these devices illegally.

Legislation banning the use of cellphones while driving took effect January 1, 2010.

The law prohibits all drivers from using hand-held cellphones to talk, text, email, or surf the internet while operating a motor vehicle. Experienced drivers are permitted to use hands-free devices, but new drivers (those in the Graduated Driver’s Licensing program) are not. The fine for violating the law is $280 and four demerit points under SGI’s Safe Driver Recognition program.

Litvanyi named Deputy Chief Con’t from Page 1.

He explains his role will mainly involve the day to day operation of the fire hall, and working with the Chief and other Deputy Chief in order keep the station running efficiently. He admits that the new position has a learning curve, as he adjusts to the different responsibilities, but he says that the transition is going smoothly.

As a long time member of the department, Litvanyi says he expected that he would assume the role at some point in his career, and he decided to take the

SGI rates up Con’t from Page 1.

“Rebalancing takes into account the number of collisions and their severity, including damage, injury and liability costs for each vehicle make and model.

With the proposed rate increase and rebalancing, roughly half of Saskatchewan vehicle owners would see an increase to their rates, on average $7 a month. All other vehicle owners would see a decrease to their rates, averaging $5 a month, or no change.”

SGI is requesting the rate increase to ensure it’s financially positioned to cover all of its operating expenses and claim obligations.

“We’re seeing rising injury claim costs, specifically for income replacement benefits due to increased wages in Saskatchewan,” adds Cartmell. “We also anticipate declining investment income from lower bond yields, essentially meaning we need to take in more money now to ensure we are able to pay all our customers’ claims later. Finally, there’s a trend in rising autobody repair costs, both for parts and labour.”

Cartmell emphasizes that SGI is still focused on keeping rates as low as possible.

“Over the last 14 years, the Saskatchewan Consumer Price Index has increased by 37 per cent, while the Auto Fund’s rates increased only six per cent over the same period.”

Proposed rates for all vehicles can be found on SGI’s website at www. sgi.sk.ca. If approved, the rate changes would be effective Aug. 4, 2012.

The full rate proposal is available on SRRP’s website at www.saskratere view.ca. Comments on the rate proposal can be provided to SRRP through its website, or by calling toll free 1-877-368-7075 or emailing input@sask ratereview.ca.

opportunity when it presented itself. While he admits that it was a bit overwhelming to know he was successful, he says he is prepared to take the next step in his career.

“To me, it means being part of the decision making process, in making it a better place to work, a fun place to work, and a safe place to work.

“It means being part of the solution of giving the citizens the best value for their tax dollars in the operation of

the fire department,” he comments.

The long-time Yorkton citizen says that he’s proud to be part of the fire department, and part of the city as a whole.

“I’ve lived here for the past 32 years. I’ve made my home here, my children are here, and I have no intention of leaving. Yorkton is my home and it’s a great place to live. I look forward to working here and retiring here,” Litvanyi concludes.

Growing up and moving forward We’re on a definite upswing and it would appear, Saskatchewan really is the place to be.

Not only are jobs up, and residents are earning more than ever in the past but people seem to be flocking here, further evidence Saskatchewan is getting things right.

The 2011 Census count was released earlier this week and it shows Saskatchewan grew by 65,224 between 2006 and 2011. That is by far the largest population growth in any census period since Statistics Canada started doing the Census every five years in 1956.

Recent numbers also mark a complete reversal from the previous two census periods which saw the population drop by about 11,000 during each five-year period. In its Census release, Statistics Canada called Saskatchewan a “turnaround,” saying: “A complete turnaround occurred in Saskatchewan, where the population increased 6.7 per cent between 2006 and 2011, following declines of 1.1 per cent in each of the two previous intercensal periods.”

Premier Brad Wall asserts, the new census numbers show Saskatchewan is on the right track.

“Saskatchewan has gone from a province where people were moving out, to a province where people are choosing to stay and moving in,” Wall said. “That is because of our growing economy, plenty of job opportunities and our great quality of life.

“Saskatchewan is simply the best place in Canada to live, to work, to raise a family and to build a life. More and more people are now discovering that and it is why our population is growing.”

Wall says the 2011 Census paints a clear picture of growth in every part of the province and marks a complete turnaround from the previous 2006 Census.

“Our government will keep working hard to keep Saskatchewan growing and to meet both the opportunities and the challenges of growth.”

This is one promise – if wish to keep moving forward and include all residents – we must ensure the provincial government keeps.

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go – forever He says changes won’t kick in without fair notice but if you’re among those in my age bracket or younger, I wouldn’t be putting all my eggs in the pension basket if I were you.

In his recent speech at a World Economic Forum held in Switzerland Stephen Harper said that demographic pressures from an aging population could force Canada to “limit” spending on pension programs.

“Our demographics also constitute a threat to the social programs and services that Canadians cherish,” he stated adding, a part of the plan to cut back could include raising the eligibility age on Old Age Security from 65 to 67.

In spite of the fact the federal government has assured changes won’t happen overnight, it leaves many to wonder about the future.

“Instead of bringing in the changes our pension system needs to ensure sustainable prosperity, this government is stripping benefits from seniors that they rely on and have earned. This is completely unacceptable,” says MP Bob Rae, interim Liberal leader.

Rae also says Harper hasn’t been clear with Canadians on his approach to the pension issue,

and he criticizes Harper for not bringing his intentions about pensions to the public during the last federal election. “He didn’t have to go to his alpine perch to let us in on the news... He should have told Canadians the election.”

Shannon Deveau before We have seniors – many of whom have worked years contributing to our society – who are struggling to make ends meet as it is, what will become of them if we take their pensions away?

And another good question being posed is: will the pensions of Canada’s MPs also be adjusted accordingly?

Let’s face, fair has to be fair.

With all that said, the door has been opened and the conversation has begun. We’re living in uncertain economic times and if something doesn’t change, Canada – like our neighbors south of the border – could be headed for trouble. We obviously can’t work our seniors to the grave, someone has to stand up for their rights and something will have to give.

Let’s hope the current government gives plenty of thought to the matter before any final decisions are made.

The way I see it...

Column

Popular baby names are the best baby names The most popular baby names in the province were released recently, and for the most part the list was fine. Liam took the top spot for boys and Emma for girls. Thankfully, the name Neveah has dropped off the girls’ list entirely, not to offend the many people who appear to have given that name to their daughters in 2010 but I’ve always been less than fond of it.

Overall, the province’s name choices have been quite reasonable.

Of course, for many people the list of the most popular names is a guide of names to avoid. They want their kids to stand out, be special, and have a unique handle that will serve them well through their life. In some ways, this is admirable, a class filled with Liams will be slightly annoying when you’re trying to get the attention of a specific Liam.

In other ways, this can be very annoying. So how can one pick a unique name?

First off, and I speak from experience, names that are easy to spell are the best names. That’s why popular names are great, everyone knows how to spell it and you don’t have to correct anyone, but it needs to be considered if you’re going a less popular route. I’ve got two standard spellings on my name, and this has lead to a life of correcting people, even people who should know better. This is from the per-

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger spective of someone who has a simple name, and one that sometimes people actually get right on the first try. That’s why non-standard spellings of popular names get on my nerves. Someone switching up the spelling of a name everyone knows might look cute at first, but that kid will soon become extremely tired of spelling out his name for everyone. Devin is bad enough, I can’t imagine the pain for the man who spells it Devyynn, an actual nametag I saw in a business a few years ago.

Another tip for those looking for a unique name, try not to name your kids after pop culture references.

It’s not because pop culture is bad, but because other people are going to have the same idea, and what

seems unique and interesting at the time will not work. I use the example of my mother, and a few friends of hers who were discussing where their names came from. These women were all named Barbara, which is a common enough women’s name.

Interestingly, they all had the middle name Ann, which is also common but would be a strange coincidence. Turns out they were all named after a single woman, figure skater Barbara Ann Scott. It’s a fine name, but going with that inspiring woman ensured that nobody had a unique name after all. Years later, the army of Barbara Anns all had a song written about them.

In all honesty though, there’s no reason to be that concerned about giving your kid a unique name. You can try all you want, but if the name is good your kid is going to share it with someone, and having a typical title doesn’t really hurt you in any way. Nobody has seen their life, career and future prospects diminished because they were called Dave or Mary, and while it might be a little annoying in their classroom, it’s going to be a blessing when they need to order business cards. What I’m saying is don’t think too hard about a kid’s name, go with your instincts, or if that fails, just call them Liam or Emma like everyone else in the province.

Natural resources won’t save reserves Who will lead

To the Editor:

Ever since the northern Ontario reserve of Attawapiskat burst into public consciousness late last year, a plethora of pundits and politicians assert that if only reserves had more cash from the minerals or oil around them, reserve hamlets could be turned into Hong Kong.

Perhaps. But Nk’Mip, while blessed by sunshine and land suitable for grapes, doesn’t have resources such as oil or gas or diamonds. That highlights this important point about prosperity: What matters more than natural resources is a community’s institutions and location.

A plethora of studies reveal the necessity of institutions such as proper checks and balances so political power is separated from economic power; property rights that give residents an incentive to take care of their home and who can then also leverage it for personal gain; and – odd as this may sound – having residents taxed by their local government, as direct taxation gives voters more control over their politicians, both the size of government and spending priorities.

If such protection for citizens is non-existent, weak, or only exists because the present leadership favours such policies (but where longterm guarantees are lacking and thus such rights may be imperilled by future leaders), all the oil, gas and minerals in the world won’t deliver sustainable, healthy prosperity for the long-term.

A story in the Edmonton Journal

which chronicled the Samson Cree First Nation is illustrative of how the “resource curse” (where sudden riches without proper institutions plays havoc with people’s lives) plays out on a reserve. That reserve discovered oil in the 1950s and saw a production boom in the 1970s. It gave ever-larger royalty cheques to residents in the 1980s before the oil wells ran dry.

With reference to the sudden riches, the reporter interviewed one reserve councillor, Vern Saddleback, who blamed the avalanche of cash for creating a perfect storm of deep drug and alcohol abuse in the youth and then poor parenting.

Positively, if proper institutional structures are in place, not only is the resource curse mitigated and sustainable wealth creation possible, individuals and families are also more likely to develop the necessary personal skills that lead to success: attention to educational opportunities, and habits of work, saving and investing. Alberta and Norway are just such examples of jurisdictions with proper institutions that work to the advantage of all.

On smart institutional governance, property rights on reserves are a good example of how proper safeguards for citizens work to the benefit of all. On the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna, where 8,500 non-natives and 500 natives live, non-native residents can lease land for homes on 99-year leases.

Such protection, while not as secure as fee simple ownership, does give residents some security, especially as the local government has never

interfered with such leases.

Still, there will be many reserves where, even with proper institutional structures, local prosperity will be difficult to achieve: Not every reserve is in the British Columbia sun-belt. Many are remote and the prospect for affluence is less likely given such remoteness.

The core problem with some reserves – as should be tragically obvious by now – is that unless they are located near an urban area where both kids and adults have off-reserve opportunities, a reserve too often becomes an artificial, government-created entity, sustainable only by massive transfers from other governments. In some cases, they are akin to Potemkin villages.

However, even there, treaty Indians might still profit if they think of reserve land in the manner shareholders view property owned by a company: profit from the land at a distance but move one’s family to where the opportunities exist. A reserve government can always contract with some farmer or business to develop what potential does exist on remote land: lease the land to a farmer, or have a mining company build a mine. Then take royalties or lease payments.

It would be a mistake to think every reserve can be a mini-Hong Kong, but appropriate reserve-specific and individual strategies might lead to relative improvements for treaty Indians now subject to a marginalized existence.

Who knows what the actual story is?

To the Editor: Question – What to do with Sask.

Party politicians that spread fascist propaganda? Namely Premier Brad Wall and Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz and their bill 40 (The Ukrainian Famine and Genocide Holodomor Memorial Day Act.) So, what is this holodomor anyway? That is the Ukrainian name for a great famine the Ukrainians claim was imposed by Stalin’s Communist government on the farming peasants of Ukraine.

The claim is 10 million Ukrainian farming peasants starved to death in the heart of Europe’s breadbasket during the years of 1932-33.

That being 1/3 of the Ukrainian population.

The Ukrainians have a special flame of remembrance. In late April 2008, some Ukrainians carried that flame to the steps of the Saskatchewan Legislature.

A special ceremony took place outside the Legislature with Saskatchewan MLA’s and media to honor survivors of the famine.

(The media reports form the basis

of this letter).

That was not a famine like sometimes occurs in nature when rainfall is in short supply. This was a deliberate famine by acts of the Soviet Communist government.

So, what do the Nationalist Ukrainians claim these acts were? (a) The Soviet Communist government seized the farmers land.

Without land, it’s self evident the farming peasants would produce nothing from the soil. (b) The Soviet government seized the farmer’s livestock. That would be the chickens that lay the eggs, the hogs that produce the bacon, the cattle that provide meat and milk, and let us not forget the heavy horses to till the soil. (c) The Soviet government also seized the farmers’ grain right down to the seeds saved for planting, but that’s not all, they even went about confiscating food where some may have been stashed away.

Those Soviets sure did a thorough job. The borders of Ukraine were strictly patrolled by the military to prevent starving Ukraini-

ans from crossing into Russia in search of food (Ukrainian claim in the Regina Leader-Post Nov. 23, 2010). I must agree, under those conditions, it seems plausible with the farmers unable to produce food that 10 million farmers could have starved to death. But, right here we run up against a massive conundrum. How is it the food producing farmers starved to death for lack of food while the other 20 million Ukrainians under the tight rein of internal passports that produced no food, did not starve to death?

Where did that massive tonnage of food come from to keep those 20 million Ukrainians alive?

What to do with the population demographers claiming the population of the Ukraine increased during the famine not decreased?

(Google) Wall and Krawetz seem to be overly anxious to support the charge of famine-genocide made against the Soviet people by contemplating having this propaganda taught in the school system.

Fighting threats against old age pensions

To the Editor:

The furor over Old Age Pensions continues, triggered by Stephen Harper’s worrisome speech recently in Switzerland.

Five key points stand out: 1. Until the very day of that speech (Jan. 26th), the Harper government repeatedly said the fight against their deficit would NOT result in ANY reduction in pensions. Not now, not ever.

So this new threat is another broken promise, like Equalization and Income Trusts.

2. The Conservative justification is contradic-

tory. On the one hand, they say Old Age Pensions are too expensive and must be curtailed.

But on the other hand, they claim no one’s benefits will be affected. They can’t have it both ways.

3. From the global Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to independent actuarial experts and the government’s own financial advisors, there is a clear consensus that Canada’s Old Age Pension is already fundamentally sustainable and does NOT need changing – even with the imminent arrival of all those Baby Boomers.

4. At $540/month, this pension is not extravagant. It goes primarily to those of modest means, including many elderly widows – 76 per cent of recipients have incomes below $40,000. Without it, poverty among seniors could rise by one-third.

5. Additional benefits for low-income seniors, like the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement and several provincial income and health programs, are contingent upon a person qualifying for the Old Age Pension first. If that pension is reduced or delayed, those “other benefits” will be similarly affected.

Provinces will have to find ways to run their own programs independently, while also making up for lost federal support. The Harper government has already off-loaded prison and healthcare costs onto the provinces. Now, add pension costs to the burdens the Conservatives are dumping on Saskatchewan and others.

Only a strenuous public outcry will keep Old Age Pensions intact. Join thousands of Canadians who are signing this petition, today: http://lpc.ca/ pension.

Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

the NDP? To the Editor: We’re in difficult times with a majority Conservative government, but we’re also in a time of enormous opportunity and hope. In less than two months, we will find out which of the eight contenders will head up Canada ’s NDP as leader of the Opposition and will be taking on Stephen Harper.

Who is the most suitable to lead the NDP? Peggy Nash is someone who believes strongly in the vision that Jack Layton brought to his leadership when he ran in 2003. Peggy is a soldier in the fight for social justice, for workers’ rights, for women’s equality, for green communities and jobs, for a most just Canada , and for party values.

As a Member of Parliament, Peggy has challenged the Conservative government’s economic policy and inaction on rising inequality and unemployment in Canada .

Prior to her work in Parliament, Peggy began her activism as an organizer with the Canadian Airline Employees Association, and worked her way up to senior negotiator with the Canadian Auto Workers union where she became the first female to negotiate a major contract with one of the Detroit-based automobile corporations in 2005.

In her role as a negotiator, Peggy was also instrumental in improving pensions for same-sex partners, developing anti-harassment and anti-racism programs, and negotiating a ‘right to refuse work’ clause for women facing workplace harassment.

With decades of experience as a top executive for Canada’s largest private-sector union, Peggy Nash has distinguished herself has a national leader on economic affairs.

Peggy has been involved with many organizations advancing women’s equality and was a founding member of Equal Voice, promoting the election of women in Canada.

Equality is a central policy issue in her campaign. Her plan includes increasing support for women and families, reinstating an amended federal long-gun gun registry and legislating protection of the data it collects and encompasses, establishing a 21st Century (Royal) Commission on the Status of Women, and a focus on violence against Aboriginal, Métis, and Inuit women and girls.

With an alternative economic vision for the country, priorities for supporting Canada’s LGBT community, a strategy to protect wild salmon habitat and support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, a plan for achieving women’s equality, a strategy for greening Canadian municipalities, investing in infrastructure, and creating green jobs, a plan to increase accessibility to post-secondary education and alleviate student debt loads, a plan to make Canada a global leader in innovation and build market support for innovative Canadian products and services, Peggy Nash is certainly capable of leading Canada’s NDP and taking on Harper in 2015.

It’s no wonder leaders from across our country have lined up to endorse Peggy Nash in her bid for Leader of the NDP. She’s certainly #1 on my ballot.

Keeping Canadians abreast of technology

OVER THE TOP – Yorkton Fire Protective Services hopes to take The Health Foundation’s campaign for the hospital conceptual plan over the top. To do that, local members held a fundraiser over the weekend. Firefighters camped out on the roof for two days, collecting money for the cause, and also held a hot dog lunch for people each noon. Pictured above (l-r), Stephan Gaudet, Travis Morash, Theodore Putland and Neal Matechuk stand by their home on the roof. The efforts are still ongoing, and they expect to have a final total next week.

Farm Toy Show this weekend It’s back for another year and it’s an event the whole family can get out to take in.

One of the largest shows of its kind in Western Canada, the Yorkton Farm Toy and Collectors Show is a collectors paradise.

Slated for its 27th year, the show will take place February 11 and 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre, 240 Wellington Avenue.

Those with an interest in collectibles and antiques will not want to miss this event.

It’s a great display of toys, farm scenes, hot rods, antiques and more

– proceeds to help local child battling cancer says organizer Wade Karcha.

It’s expected 100 vendors will be on location from across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Prize draws and good eats are also a big part of the day!

Admission is just $3 per day for those 10 years of age and over and free for anyone under the age of 10.

Proceeds are also going to a very worthwhile cause this year – another good reason to venture out to take in the event.

Local three year old, Lyric Solonenko was recently diagnosed with a rare Rhabdoid Tumor. A benefit supper is taking place on February 11 at Tapps to support his family and help them through his treatment in Saskatoon. Proceeds from the Toy Show will also be

donated to help the family.

The Tapps evening will see two seatings to accommodate all the people interested in showing up and taking part, one from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and the second from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and 50/50 draws during the night. Tickets are $20 and available at Carpet One, Fabutan and Joey’s Kids Apparel.

For further details on the Toy Show contact Bill or Gerry Coleridge at 7836000 or Wade or Judy Karcha at 783-5979 or 786-1530.

I don’t generally use a hard hat when on official M.P. business, but I did the other day, when I accepted an invitation to tour an exciting industry in our riding.

Established in 1996, Milligan Bio-Tech in Foam Lake has gained recognition at home and overseas. All levels of government and industry have recognized the business for its leadership in the field of bio-diesel.

Making wise decisions about the technology that keeps our world humming is crucial to Canada’s economic and environmental future. The federal government’s interest in increasing clean technology spawned the organization, Sustainable Developmental Technology Canada (SDTC).

SDTC funds development and demonstration projects, with the goal of taking innovation from the lab to the market.

Their portfolio contains projects in every province in Canada. Milligan BioTech is one of them.

After I donned my hard hat, I spent an enjoyable morning observing the

Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz workings of the plant and learning about innovative clean technology from Milligan’s executive manager. The plant produces high quality biodiesel and several other environmentally and farmerfriendly co-products, including livestock supplements of canola meal and oil, road dust suppressant, and diesel fuel conditioner. The company uses canola to manufacture its products, but rather than using the food-grade grain, they employ crops that are damaged and non-food grade.

Innovative clean technology is not only crucial for our Canadian economy – it impacts the community. Milligan BioTech, for instance, purchases the canola they

use from producers in the Yorkton-Melville riding, along with others across Western Canada. They also hire staff who live in the local area. Along with the manager, our tour team included chemists, researchers and machinery operators. All of them live in the Foam Lake area.

By providing new markets for farmers, creating clean burning renewable fuels and environmentally friendly co-products, Milligan is an example of the real steps our government is taking to support Canadian entrepreneurs and create sustainable jobs in needy rural communities.

“Furthermore, if not addressed, OAS has the capacity to undermine Canada’s economic position, and has the potential to jeopardize the economies of all western nations beyond this current economic crisis.”

A report by Christopher Ragan at McGill, the MacDonald Laurier Institute calculated that “…by 2040 Canada would face a $67 billion deficit (in today’s dollars) based on current policies and demographic change.”

OAS will eventually become too expensive and unsustainable.

Breitkreuz says since 2006, the government has worked to assist Canadians as they prepare for retirement by increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement for the most vulnerable seniors; introducing pension income splitting and increasing the age credit; and introducing new programs.

“When Old Age Security was established in 1952, it was for Canadians aged 70 and older,” he adds. “Many changes have been made to OAS over the past 60 years.

“The changes we are hearing about now are ones that will allow OAS to remain in existence for generations to come.”

Sask’s best job up for grabs again

DONATIONS PRESENTED – Earlier last year, Brian and Judy Berrns lost their son Jared from complications resulting from Type 1 Diabetes.

Brian and Judy wanted to do something in memory of their son that would benefit other people. As Jared had diabetes for half his life and eventually passed away from complications with diabetes, they wanted to do something with diabetes if possible. They approached The Health Foundation regarding options that might be available that would make a lasting and positive benefit for other people living with diabetes or kidney issues.

When they learned the Foundation was in the process of trying to upgrade the Hemodialysis Program in the Regional Health Centre they thought it made sense to make a contribution and help that upgrade succeed.

Pictured above, the Berrns family, recently presented a $3,000 donation to The Health Foundation.

The Springside Lions also decided they wanted to make a contribution and have donated another $3000 in-memory of Jared. Brian and Judy are both longtime members of the Springside Lions, and Jared was born and raised in the Springside area and lived in the community until his passing.

Lions members are pictured below presenting a cheque to Ross Fisher, Ex-

ecutive Director of The Health Foundation.

The $6,000 has completed the fundraising for the new dialysis chairs and monitoring equipment needed. The equipment has been ordered and will be in place in February of 2012.

The Health Foundation will recognize the donations In-Memory of Jared Berrns by placing an In-Memory recognition on the plaque at the entrance of the Dialysis Program and on the main donor wall of the hospital.

Upgrading of the dialysis chairs for patients and the purchase of minor equipment like an exercise bike and monitors for the dialysis program in the Regional Health Centre in Yorkton became necessary as the dialysis program was expanded to a second shift two years ago; the program now goes from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Expanding the program meant that the chairs and equipment the patients use see much more usage than they did before.

“We are very grateful for this donation and very pleased that Brian and Judy Berrns chose to work with us when they wanted to do something in memory of their son Jared,” says Fisher.

“This is very generous of the Berrns family, choosing to honor the memory of Jared in this way means that they will help other people to enjoy a better quality of life for many years.”

The Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport is hiring again for the best summer job ever – the Saskatchewanderer.

The job is a student position that launched last year as a marketing pilot project. The “work” includes travelling around the province, discovering what makes Saskatchewan great, and then blogging about it through writing, photos and video.

“The first year of our Saskatchewanderer program was so successful we had to do it again,” Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchinson comments.

“People from 110 countries and territories viewed more than 176,000 pages on saskatchewanderer.ca.

And I am confident they liked what they saw of our wonderful province – they saw our exceptional provincial parks with their beautiful lakes, forests and even sand dunes along with unique cultural and recreational events. They saw that you can surf and zipline and take part in an exciting kite festival in Saskatchewan. They saw that this is truly the best province for visitors to experience.”

The contest part of the hiring is changing

for 2012. This year, the ministry will again select a shortlist for the public to vote on, but there will only be one round of voting (as opposed to three) and the public will choose which applicants get job interviews. The ministry will then conduct the interviews and ultimately select the 2012 Saskatchewanderer.

“We heard from a number of students last year that they needed to know as soon as possible if they will have a summer job with our ministry,” Hutchinson says.

“We also heard clearly that producing contest videos during final exams is stressful. We took

®

those comments to heart and have improved the process with this excellent advice in mind.”

Students who are interested can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca. Submissions will be accepted until February 17 at noon.

The ministry says it is pleased to announce the Saskatchewanderer sponsors have signed on for another summer of wandering. Bennett Dunlop Ford will once again provide a vehicle for the Saskatchewanderer, while CAA Saskatchewan will help keep the student safe on the road with a CAA membership and gas cards.

Sevastian brings the accordion to life

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Alexander Sevastian has spent his life perfecting the accordion, winning awards and exploring the full range of sounds the instrument can produce.

Originally from Russia, Sevastian has been playing the accordion since he was eight years old.

He will be in Yorkton on February 15 with his solo acoustic show.

While most people associate the accordion with polka, that’s not what Sevastian plays, instead focusing on a wide variety of classical music for the instrument. One of his goals with the accordion has been to expand the repertoire available for the instrument, he explains.

“I had this enormous interest in the instrument and the basic problem was the repertoire. I was trying to develop this side of the accordion as much as I could, so I started looking for new pieces, some new arrangements of classical music, some pieces were composed for me,” he says.

Sevastian has won many awards through his playing, and he says he did these competitions to get as many people to hear his music

as possible.

“I kept motivation because I wanted to become famous, so the first step was doing competitions, so more people would hear me.”

While getting his start in competition, he admits that playing for the general public is a very different experience, and not every performer can make the transition to a concert career. He says that he has been able to do it because he focuses on putting together a show that everyone can enjoy.

“I carefully develop my audience and carefully learn a repertoire that would be interesting to many people.

Sometimes they’re hard pieces, but at the end of the day it’s really rewarding to see people’s eyes in the audience and hear people at the end of the show say that it was one of the greatest things they’ve ever attended. That’s a huge accomplishment, and the reward for me,” he adds.

In selecting his pieces, Sevastian says that finding a piece that speaks to him is the best way to find one that can connect with a larger audience overall.

“In a piece, I look for emotion. If it’s a piece of good music, I can feel what it represents. Joy,

sad feelings, nostalgia, love or whatever. I can try to deliver that character in that piece so that people can feel the music the same way I feel.”

Playing for audiences is what drives Sevastian, and he compares the experience to eating a favorite food or anything else that gives someone the extra kick of adrenaline in their life.

Combined with that, the fact that people have chosen to see him perform makes him feel as though he needs to give them something they’ll enjoy and remember for a long time.

“I realize that people have an option of how to spend their evening, and the fact that they came to the accordion concert rather than going to somewhere else, makes me feel very responsible, and gives me an extra kick to deliver my best,” he says.

Prairie Debut presents Alexander Sevastian with Stars for Saskatchewan on February 15 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre.

Tickets are $30 and available at the Arts Council office or at Welcome Home Floral and Gift Shop on Smith Street East.

Local dental professional returns from mission

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Shelly Snidanko is used to helping people with their teeth. The dental technician went to villages surrounding Jalapa, Guatemala on a four day dental mission with Kindness in Action (KIA), working to bring dental care to people who normally would not be able to have it.

The mission saw 504 patients in four days, doing 695 extractions, 171 cleanings, 211 restorations and a denturist took 18 impressions for dentures or partials in four days. Snidanko says that even with all the work they did do, some people had to be turned away because there wasn’t enough time to do everything that needed to be done.

The work was done in the school at the villages where she visited, Snidanko says, and people would line up before her and the rest of the team would get to work.

She says that the local residents can’t afford to pay for dental work, and that has lead to a huge need for volunteers to go down and help.

“We have dentists in almost every community... We don’t see the cavities and decay that you see down there, for a lot of these people it’s the first time they’ve

seen a dentist in their life, I’m talking about a forty or fifty year old,” Snidanko says.

Working in Guatemala presents challenges that are not present in her regular work in Canada, Snidanko reveals, with simple things like running water being unavailable.

Water was hauled from a camp to do the work, along with all the equipment that was needed.

That equipment was often more limited as well, as suction wasn’t available and they didn’t have chairs that were as flexible as at home, often having to use tables and chairs from the schools where they did the work.

One of the most difficult parts was working without suction, Snidanko says, as patients had to spit in a bag and they would dab with gauze rather than use the suction they were used to.

“The dentist is always needing a clear view to do work, just dabbing it with gauze isn’t giving you the clear view the dentist usually likes,” she explains.

“Going to the dental office on Monday when I came back was strange because we stood. I stood for the eight hours when we working, so coming back on Monday having a seat beside the chair was kind of strange.”

She also says she

office in Canada, I wanted to do that,” she says.

The mission also showed people in the country basics of oral hygiene, which Snidanko says is one of the longlasting effects of the trip.

She notes that if they can get more people brushing, they can prevent some of the damage that they were seeing in people who had never been to the dentist, and improve the health of people in the country.

She also encourages

others to get involved in the dental missions, saying it’s a very rewarding experience. She says that even people without dental training can help and were just as important, because it allowed her to focus on the dental work. Those without dental training did important tasks like sterilizing instruments and directing the people in the clinic. She recommends anyone interested in helping out visit www. kindnessinaction.ca.

She says they were able to overcome the language barrier, but knowing more would have been an asset.

While it was more difficult than working at home, Snidanko says she would not hesitate to go again, and is already planning on making

another trip next year, and continuing to do this work as long as she is able.

“I always wanted to go along on a mission, I always wanted to do something more with my career. I can’t build houses, but I can do dental work. I’ve been a dental assistant for 12 years, and I always thought if I could do something with my dental skills that helps people, more than just working in a private

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 9, 2012 - Page 11A

Contending with Valentine’s Day grief We have just come through Christmas and New Years and before we realize it another special day is upon us.

Valentine’s Day is a day when cards are exchanged, candies or flowers are given to those we love.

It all started many years ago when you sent your first Valentine- It may have been in Kindergarten or grade one, but this tradition of sending a valentine to someone special started many years ago and this tradition is with us to the present day.

Valentine’s Day is a time we show our loved ones we care about them in forms of cards, heart shaped candies or flowers.

Death may have robbed you of your loved one, but it can never take away the relationship you had and the love you shared. This year, you can find a way to remember, honor and

celebrate that eternal love on Valentine’s Day. Do something that would honour your loved one. One way of turning the difficulty of Valentine’s Day around is to re-label this day and what it stands forRemembering and honouring those we love.

It may help to make a list of the negative feelings. Take note of your negative feelings and where they stem from.

Think of ideas of turning the negative feelings of the past into positive feelings for the future.

Take some time to identify your feelings and openly accept them.

Feelings are not right or wrong, they are just feelings- so whatever you are feeling, it is OK. Connecting with friends and family is always a healthy choice.

You might wish to create a buddy system and agree to exchange flowers or candy with a

by Margaret Anne Yost friend. Send a card to someone whom you care about. Call someone you have not been in contact with for a while. Go out for lunch. Let those close to you know that you love them even if it’s been hard to show it recently. Volunteer or reach out to someone who might need your help today.

Walking through the mall seeing all the romantic Valentine’s cards, red roses and candies can be very painful if you have just lost the love of your life.

You may be wondering how you can make it through one more holi-

day in one piece.

If Valentine’s Day feels too big to handle, it may be a good time to find a counselor, therapist or speak you your clergy who can help you through this difficult time. Finding a support group of other bereaved people may be a great way to open up to a community of people who understand your feelings and are able to offer you support.

Recall all of the wonderful blessings you still have in your life, and on all of the love that you still enjoy. We should all appreciate the good, and know that when

Parent Mentoring Program of Saskatchewan “Working together to support and strengthen families”

The Parent Mentoring Program of Yorkton would like to thank the Painted Hand Community Development Corporation for their generous donation to their Christmas Celebration. With their generous contribution, the program was able to provide families with a wonderful, traditional Christmas meal as well as gifts for all the families. Wonderful family memories were made possible that evening!

The Parent Mentoring Program’s mission is to support and strengthen families by providing encouragement and information to expectant parents and parents of young children. This is accomplished through mentoring relationships and group activities within their communities.

Thank you again to the Painted Hand Community Development Corporation for making Christmas extra special this year from the staff and families of the Parent Mentoring Program.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 9, 2012 - Page 17A

NEWS REVIEW SPORTS Sport notes Goalie of the week Yorkton Terriers netminder Warren Shymko was named SJHL goaltender of the week.

Shymko, who started back to back games for the Terriers last week, won them both, giving up just three goals in a 3-2 win in Flin Flon Wednesday, and a 6-1 win at home against Kindersley on Friday.

In the last week, Shymko was 2-0, with a 1.45 GAA, and .952 per cent.

For the season, Shymko’s now 13-10-2, with a 2.69 GAA, .907 per cent and a shutout.

Yorkton Terriers dominate on home ice

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Terriers outshot the visiting Flin Flon Bombers 39-28 on the way to a 7-1 at the Farrell Agencies Arena Wednesday night on the strength of four first period goals.

A late first period powerplay goal by Flin Flon’s Brandt Weldon ruined Terrier netminder Warren Shymko’s shutout bid.

Shymko was rock solid for three periods.

The Terrier scoring leader in the contest, Tyler Giebel, who scored a hat trick with a goal in each period, opened the scoring early in the first period assisted by Brent Struble.

Curtis Oliver followed up with a pair of goals, the first assisted by Kelly Lessmeister and Chase Norrish and the second assisted by Lessmeister and Dylan Baer.

Zak Majkowski capped the first period scoring assisted

by Tayler Thompson and Jamie Vlanich to send the Terriers to the dressing room holding 4-1 edge.

Giebel opened second period scoring late in the frame assisted by Jeremy Johnson and Devon McMullen.

Kailum Gervais made it 6-1 for Yorkton less than a minute later assisted by Brady Norrish and McMullen.

Giebel notched his third goal of the night, a powerplay goal, to cap the game scoring assisted by Johnson and Struble.

Friday was payback night at the Farrell Agencies Arena as the Yorkton Terriers settled their score with the visiting Melfort Mustangs, outshooting the visitors 46-14 on the way to a 3-0 shutout win.

Following a scoreless first period, Thompson opened the scoring for Yorkton early in the second period with a powerplay marker assisted

by Giebel and Majkowski.

Kyle McLeod slammed home a second powerplay goal 30 seconds later assisted by Brady Norrish and Oliver.

Struble capped the game scoring midway through the third period assisted by Lessmeister and Johnson.

Yorkton Terriers head coach Trent Cassan attributes both wins to a solid defensive effort and good goal tending in both games.

Wednesday night the Terriers had a great start scoring four goals in the first period, he notes. The players drove to the net and were rewarded for their efforts.

They took a lot of shots on goal in both games as well, Cassan points out.

Both Shymko and McAulay played well. Shymko has had good games in his last four or five starts, Cassan says.

It was McAulay’s first start in awhile due to a nagging injury which kept him off the ice. While he didn’t face many shots, he was rock solid on the ones that did get through and were some good scoring opportunities, Cassan states. “Sometimes

He gives Melfort a lot of credit for playing hard with only 13 players dressed for the game Friday. “I have a lot of respect for their players and coaching staff for how hard they played this

Harvest win last home game of the season

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Harvest hosted the visiting North Battleford Stars in a two game home stand at the Farrell Agencies Arena Saturday and Sunday.

T h e Stars shutout the Harvest 8-0 in the first of two games Saturday night, scoring four first period goals and

adding two more in each of the second and third periods.

Not only was the Harvest powerplay not working, but to add insult to injury, the Stars scored three shorthanded goals, one in each period, on the way to the win.

Regan Yew and Blake Young led the scoring for North Battleford with a pair of goals apiece while Carter Danczak, Kihisis Derocher, Eric

weekend and how they’re finishing off the year,” Cassan says.

He’s making no predictions nor looking too far ahead right now, focusing instead on each of the games left in the next couple of weeks. “The minute you start thinking you’re going to be here and complacent, it catches up to you,” he closes.

YORKTON HARVEST FORWARDS Branden Kayter (l) and Josh Lees (r) battle for the puck in the corner during the second game of the recent two home games series with the visiting North Battlefords Stars.

Pfeifer and Tyson Empey each added a goal.

North Battleford goalie Nigel Detbrenner-Rempel was credited with the shutout.

Sunday afternoon a determined North Battleford squad set out to win the second game of the series to claim the four points which would help lift them out of the SMAAAHL basement.

An equally determined Yorkton Harvest team was not prepared to lose their last game on home ice as they outshot the visitors 47-31 on the way to a 7-6 overtime win.

The Stars jumped out to an early two goal off the sticks of Brody Tatchell and Derocher.

Dakota Odgers scored his first of two big goals, a shorthanded marker assisted by Tanner LeSann.

The teams traded a goal apiece in the second period. Danczak scored North Battleford’s third goal less than a minute into the second period, while Devin McGonigal replied for the Harvest less than a minute later assisted by Odgers and Levi Morin.

Derocher scored the Stars fourth goal less than a minute into the third period to give North Battleford a two goal lead before Nicholas Pouliot pulled the Harvest within one with a singlehanded marker.

Two quick third period goals, one each by Brock Weston and Reece Fenrich made it 6-3 for North Battleford.

It seemed North Battleford’s three goal margin would hold up for the win with five minutes left in the game.

The Harvest, however, had other ideas. LeSann started Yorkton’s rally with a pair of goals to narrow the deficit to one goal.

Xerox Atoms home tournament champions

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Atom Xerox Terriers hosted a Tier 1 tournament over the weekend. Tournament coordinator Sherry Vranai says the event featured 10 teams, including the Warman Panthers, Lumsden Bethune Lions, Regina Pirates, Estevan Bruins, Saskatoon Black Aces, Regina Rockies, Prairie Storm Thunder and Saskatoon Wild Thunder in addition to the Yorkton Atom Xerox Terriers.

Vranai says the tournament went over very well. The turnout of both players and fans was great with some great hockey played.

Vranai thanks tournament title sponsor, Southern Document Solutions Inc, the authorized Xerox sales agent as well as coaches, players, fans, officials and the tournament committee.

The Yorkton Xerox Atom Terriers who swept their home tournament undefeated emerged as

tournament champions winning the A-side final 5-1 over the Prairie Storm.

The B-side was claimed

by Estevan 5-2 over runners-up Saskatoon.

The Warman Jaguars won the C-side 2-1 over runners-up the Warman Panthers.

Xerox Terriers head coach Scott Welke says his boys came out a little slow Friday against Estevan. Yorkton trailed Estevan 5-2 with 11 minutes left in the third period. “The kids battled hard to come out with a 7-5 victory and didn’t look back from there,” Welke reports.

The Xerox Terriers have completed all their league games for the season. They’re waiting for Estevan and Weyburn to finish. Should Weyburn tie or lose one game, the Xerox Terriers would end up first overall. If not, they’ll finish second, Welke points out. “We’re doing very well with four losses on the regular season and just kind of waiting for the playoffs to begin,” he closes.

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS YORKTON XEROX ATOM TERRIERS team includes: Front (l-r) goalies Spencer Welke, Tyler Herasymiuk. Second row (l-r) Chase Sperling, Brett Dutchak, Ethan Evanovich, Jackson Berezowski, Tanner Hoffman. Third row (l-r) Evan Krasowski, Jaden Harris, Austin Dycer, Ryder Korczak, Colby Lubichewski, Zak McIntyre, Carson Haberman. Back row (l-r) Coaches Brad Haberman, Scott Welke, Trent Dutchak. Missing: Team manager Ryan Hoffman.

Cross country ski club offers an exciting program The Ski Around the World event at Deer Park was a great success. The weather was a bit cold and the wind biting but cross country skiing is a hot sport.

The Ski Around the World event was a free family event hosted by the Yorkton Cross Country Ski Club. Club membership was not required in order to participate.

Skiers skied from station to station around the course, picking up miniature flags along the way.

On returning to the clubhouse, 103 flags were pinned on various countries of the world. A lot of geography was learned. It was a challenge to locate some of the countries.

A hot dog sale and international music followed.

The Yorkton Cross Country Ski Club would like to thank the City of Yorkton for the use of the clubhouse and Leo Skaluba for the opening and closing the facility.

Ken Gedak did a wonderful job setting the trails, says Anne Stupak. “It’s nice to know that the trails will be set on a regular basis.”

The club also thanks Barry Rogers for his barbecue skills and all those who helped with the food and beverages.

A big thank you is extended to Val Edwards for setting up and taking down the Ski Around the World course which was not an easy job.

The next event will be a ski safari held on Family Day, Monday February 20 at 1 p.m. at Deer Park. Skiers will hunting for hidden stuffed animals along the route and marking their location on the Safari Map. Participants can wear safari clothes over their ski outfits if they choose.

The person or persons spotting the most animals will be crowned safari king or queen.

The ski safari is also a free family event.

Ray Bailey says, “I am very happy to belong to such an active club with so many planned events.”

Anyone who would like to join the Yorkton Cross Country Ski Club is welcome. The annual fee is $20 for an individual or $50 for a family.

Yorkton men’s league hosts indoor tournament

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton United Soccer league hosted a joint men’s futsall/junior indoor soccer tournament at the Gloria Hayden Community Centre over the weekend. Men’s league administrator Mike Jakubiec explains the men’s league originally planned to hold its first annual futsall tournament with eight teams participating.

However only four men’s teams from Yorkton registered. As a result the men had extra gym space available for the weekend. They opted to invite the younger soccer teams to take part in a parallel mini-tournament.

The indoor soccer tournament attracted the Under 8, Under 10, Under 12 and Under 14 teams from Yorkton.

Jakubiec admits the gym is a tad smaller than a regulation futsall court or indoor soccer field. “We kind of took the futsall rules and adjusted them to work on a basketball court,” he explains.

The main difference between futsall and soccer is the futsall ball is a Size 4 low bounce ball, Jakubiec points out. Every time the ball leaves the field teams have five seconds to put the ball back into play so the game is really fast, he notes.

Another difference are the penalty calls. Yellow cards are two minute penalties. Red cards are five minute penalties with the player ejected and

the team plays short handed for five minutes, Jakubiec explains.

The game is typically played in two 25 minute halves for a total of 50 minutes per game, he adds.

Currently the Yorkton Men’s Futsall League has four teams. Players range in age from 15 years and older. “It keeps the younger players playing soccer and gives them a developmental environment to participate in.

This allows them to actually get some game experience and continue to develop and play into adulthood. It bridges the gap between youth and adulthood very nicely,” Jakubiec states.

The league plays at the Gloria Hayden Community Centre every Tuesday, Jakubiec reports.

Registrations are accepted year round.

A full season costs $150 which is prorated as the season progresses. Anyone interested in playing futsall can contact Jakubiec at the Canada Soccer Shop or via the website yorktonunitedsc.ca.

The men’s league also has a team made up of members of the four local teams who travel to play at out-oftown tournaments, while youngsters generally compete at tournaments in Regina and Saskatoon, Jakubiec notes.

The event offered a good environment for many local youngsters to watch some of the older youth and men play competitive futsall at a little higher level, Jakubiec closes.

Yorktonite joins 25th anniversary Man In Motion relay

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer It’s been 25 years since Rick Hansen overcame what many would consider a major impediment to his completion of the round the world Man In Motion Tour to raise awareness of spinal cord injury and funds for spinal cord research.

Hansen’s feat, completed in a wheelchair, inspired the world.

This year, to mark the 25th anniversary of the event, the Rick Hansen Relay was staged both to commemorate Hansen’s achievement and to inspire everyone, especially those who have lived with spinal cord injury and ailments. One such local person who participated the relay in Moosomin is Rhonda Bailey.

A silver commemorative medal was

struck by the Royal Canadian Mint to mark the event. The solid silver medal which weighed one pound was carried by hand from Newfoundland across Canada by relay runners and is to be delivered to Hansen in his home in Vancouver, B.C. The medal arrived at the school in Saskatchewan at Moosomin School where a team of four runners ran it through the town out to the edge of the Moosomin where another team of runners took it over to deliver it to Grenfell.

Because the group of four was so small and had such a short distance to run, they decided to run the one kilometre distance together as a group, Bailey recalls.

Bailey saw an ad on television recruiting people called ‘difference makers’.

They were people who may have had

UCT Bantams claim home exhibition win The Yorkton UCT Bantam AA Terriers hosted the visiting Notre Dame Hounds in an exhibition game at the Kinsmen Arena Sunday.

The Bantam Terriers narrowly missed a shutout with their 7-1 win on the strength of four third period goals.

Branden Pelechaty opened the scoring for the Bantam Terriers with single handed goal late in the first period.

Josh Rohatynsky made it 2-0 for Yorkton early in the second frame assisted by Kholton Shewchuk.

Caleb Sutter added the Bantams’ third goal goal assisted by Shewchuk and Tanner Mak. Grayson Neufeld started the Bantam Terriers’ third period scoring spree assisted by Pelechaty.

Steven St. Marie followed up with a pair of goals. Jake Holinaty assisted on St. Marie’s first marker while Adam Neibrandt and Chance Patterson assisted on the second goal.

Ryan Jasper capped the game scoring for the Bantam Terriers assisted

by Jonah Sutter to clinch the 7-1 win.

For the past 35 years, the Saskatchewan Junior Citizen program has been recognizing the outstanding youth of Saskatchewan.

medal bearers chosen to participate.

The medal is being passed hand to hand through all 7,000 medal bearers until it is handed to Hansen in Vancouver.

Medal bearers each received a commemorative medal as a keepsake of the event as well as the tracksuits and toques, which while welcome, weren’t all that necessary given the recent weather, Bailey closes.

some challenges with spinal injury in their lives.

Bailey contacted the association which listened to her story. Following a series of emails she was selected to be a medal bearer in the Rick Hansen Man In Motion Relay.

Bailey was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the spinal column at the age of 27. She was advised to undergo a spinal fusion which, she says, would have possibly placed her into a wheelchair for the rest of her life. After consulting with many people in similar straits as well as physicians, Bailey chose to find other ways to avoid surgery.

She was advised by former Yorkton orthopedic surgeon Dr. Van Sittert to put off surgery and to find other ways to live strong, be happy and live above the pain. “I took it to heart and all these years later I’m 45 and physically strong,” Bailey claims.

She says she tries to use alternate methods of pain management. Because of her experience Bailey left her job to open her spa, Luna Experience. “I sort of felt I had some information that I could pass on to other people on how to live with issues of pain and deal with them so you can live your life and not let the pain control you,” she states.

Bailey says she was inspired by Hansen when he came through 25 years ago. When she learned of the current relay, she decided she wanted to be a part of the event. She was one of 7,000

YRHS hosts junior girls basketball tournament

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) junior girls hosted a four team basketball tournament with teams from Moose Jaw Central, Weyburn, Esterhazy as well as the Junior Lady Raiders from YRHS. Junior Lady Raiders coach Chad McDowell says he tried to match teams in terms of competitiveness.

As a result the tournament has a Grade 10,11,12 team from Weyburn, a Grade 7,8,9 team from Esterhazy, and and two Grade 9,10 teams from Moose Jaw and YRHS. McDowell says the measure of improvement for the Junior Lady Raiders was their win over Moose Jaw Central who beat the girls in a previous game.

The YRHS squad carries a 15 player bench, including five Grade 10s and 10 Grade 9s, as a

First SJHL shutout

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Yorkton Terrier netminder Dawson McAulay, who had a couple of near misses including one at Kindersley which was ruined with about a minute left in the game, managed to record his first SJHL shutout Friday night at the Farrell Agencies Arena against the visiting Melfort Mustangs.

McAulay says earning a shutout was a good feeling, but he feels the team was playing very well in front of him and deserved to win.

The Melfort goalie was holding the Mustangs in the game for the first couple of periods. As a result he says he knew he had to be alert to avoid giving up any easy goals. The team sealed the deal in front of him to give him the shutout, he asserts.

He notes that the Mustangs had a short bench and didn’t have the legs the Terriers did.

Melfort played hard but the Terriers battled back equally hard to limit their opportunities. “We

played well in the D zone, didn’t get greedy at anytime during the game. We just played hard at both ends of the ice and it really paid off,” McAullay states.

He’s aware of his size.

“I’ve always been the big goalie,” McAulay says.

Throughout the years he’s been able to develop a technique he uses to his advantage, he suggests. He’s worked at being as quick as shorter goalies. “If I can stay in a good position, then I can really use my size to advantage,” he claims.

As a bigger goalie, he can use his size to stay a little deeper without staying too deep and giving shooters too much net.

McAulay says the Terriers have been on a bit of a roll, earning points in the last eight or nine games. The players are pretty happy and looking forward to the playoffs. “We think we have a pretty good team here to make a good run.

The atmosphere is pretty good here and we’re just ready to go, he closes.

Dawson McAulay

result of a large turnout at tryouts this year. The girls were athletic and good shooters. “I didn’t really want to cut girls who showed a lot of potential so took a bigger squad than normal,” McDowell explains.

District competition will reduce the team to 10 players as only Grade 9 girls can compete at the district finals, McDowell points out.

The Junior Lady Raiders are very consistent, McDowell claims. They’re good at their press. “That’s how we ended up beating Moose Jaw. We scored probably half of our points off of our press,” he reports.

The first game against Weyburn was a tough situation as it was the first time the YRHS girls played in a couple of weeks because of semester finals and several other school events. “It was kind of the first time everybody had played together in a long time,” McDowell continues.

McDowell says he doesn’t have a player who will score 20 points or more in a game. He has five or six girls or more who will score five to six points or more every game. It’s a very balanced team, he suggests.

“It just makes coaching a little bit easier when you have depth,” he says.

The season is about half done with districts coming up March 2 and 3 in Norquay, making February a busy month, McDowell suggests.

He’s not particularly concerned about keeping track of wins and losses, focussing instead on playing well. “If we play well, we have a good shot at winning,” McDowell closes.

Weyburn finished the tournament with a 3-0 record to take first place. Esterhazy’s 2-1 record was good enough for second place. YRHS finished third with a 1-2 record while Moose Jaw was fourth with a 0-3 record.

Tying goal wins game star title for Odgers

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer Yorkton Harvest centre Dakota Odgers was named first star in Sunday’s home game against the visiting Battelfords Stars. The 5 foot 9 inch, 165 pound centre had a three point game with a pair of goals and an assist. The second of his two goals tied the game to send it into overtime to set up the overtime win.

“Going into the third period we wanted to get a win. That was the only option we had. We weren’t going to go out with anything else,” Odgers maintains. After going down by three goals with 11 minutes remaining in the game, the Harvest showed a lot of character by battling back for the win, he continues.

When the Battleford Stars went ahead 6-3, it was a pretty worried Harvest bench. But, all the guys knew what they had to do to get the win and were prepared to do what it took to get it, Odgers states.

LeSann got some added life on the bench with his back-to-back goals to pull the Harvest within one. The players were a little more upbeat and felt they had a chance again, Odgers says. LeSann’s fourth goal was a turning point in the game, Odgers adds.

He was pulled down on a break and was rewarded with a penalty shot with a little over a minute left in regulation

time. “It was nerves, and excitement. It was a lot of emotions mixed together. I was worried about messing up. In the end it was a feeling that I had to get the job done,” Odgers describes his feelings.

As he blasted down the ice, Odgers shot the puck into the right side five hole to score the game winning goal. It was the third penalty shot of his entire hockey career, and it was big.

Prior to taking the shot, Odgers discussed the situation with Harvest goalie Spencer Bomboir who advised him to go either five hole or low blocker. “As I was walking down I saw he was leaning a bit towards his blocker side so I decided I would go to five hole,” Odgers describes his shot.

While he is currently considering his options

Dakota Odgers for the future, he admits he’s not averse to returning to the Harvest. “If I come back here, I would be more than happy. I feel that we’ll have a really exciting team com-

ing next year. I think we’re going to have a real good team to challenge for top spot in the league with our young guys and our core,” Odgers closes.

In the February 2 issue of The News Review, it was erroneously reported that Kyson Gervais won first place while Kaynan Gervais placed third in the 120S Class at the snowmobile drag races.

The report should have stated Kaynan Gervais placed first while Kyson finished in third place.
