Bear Stream School is a new school, but it’s also a new experience for the Good Spirit School Division, and the start of a new set of schools in the area. The school is the first Hutterian School in the Good Spirit School Division.

The new school is a partnership between the Clarion Colony and the GSSD, explains Dwayne Reeve, Director of Education.

The colony pur-chased and moved the building to the site in the Kamsack area, which was previously used as a school by a different colony east of Winnipeg. They are responsible for the facil-ity overall, and was worked on over the winter.

“It’s interesting because very seldom do you get to move and have an additional school. This is excit-ing.”

It has been a learn-ing experience for both

groups, Reeve says, as they worked to get the school ready for stu-dents. A late harvest did mean that the school opened a bit later than intended, and Reeve says it has been an open collabora-tion from the begin-ning.

“For us, it’s about getting to know and understand how the Hutterian educational needs are met. It’s a little different because there are religious aspects that we need to be aware of and there

are also cultural aspects that we need to be aware of. We are look-ing forward to that and also looking forward to the connections we get with other Hutterian schools around the province.”

The GSSD will be in charge of the instruc-tional programming, which includes staffing and resources, while the colony itself is responsible for the building. As a result, Bear Stream School will be considered dif-ferently in the funding

formula from other schools, as it is a part-nership with the colo-ny.

“It becomes an important community centre for them, not unlike some of the facil-ities we have in other communities. Obviously it is multi-purpose for the colony.”

Coincidentally, the location of the school has a personal connec-tion to the principal, as it is located on her for-mer home.

Colleen Pennell, whose first role as an

administrator is with Bear Stream School, used to live on the site where it now stands, as it is located in the yard site of the farm where she raised her family.

This is the firstHutterian school, but it will not be the last.

Reeve says that there is potential for three more to begin operation in the divi-sion, and there is a col-ony in the Melville area which is looking to establish a school in the fall.

First Hutterian school opens in the GSSD


This is a Play is not just a play, but the best play, after Sacred Heart High School Drama Club won the Region 4 Drama Festival. The produc-tion took home out-standing production, as well as the top act-ing award at the festi-val, The Mary Ellen Burgess Performance Award for Mack Tourand for the role of Male Actor.

Gregory Digout, the play’s director, describes it as an absurdist piece. It’s about three actors – Male Actor, Female Actor and Older Female Actor – per-forming a play that is actually quite terrible, but the audience is able to hear the actor’s inner thoughts.

“The actors are jug-gling two things at once. They’re doing the blocking of the real play, but they’re speaking what’s inside their head as they are very sarcastic about how stupid the play is, and what they think of the other actors and so we hear an interior monologue at the same time as they are act-ing out the play.”

While he had want-ed to do the play for a

few years, Digout says that he felt this year was the right time

because the drama club had actors who are gifted with physi-

cal comedy, something that the play needs to really work. He has

great praise for his actors, with Tourand getting praise for his

ability to command a

A Saskatchewan com-pany was recently fined for unlawfully establish-ing a waste disposal ground without a per-mit. The charge stemmed from a call to a Ministry of Environment office in July of 2013.

Conservation officers investigated and found that a rock crushing crew employed by the company had buried all of their garbage, which included used oil, oil fil-ters, batteries, metal cones and various other items.

The garbage pit was located within 700 metres of a fish-bearing creek and was found approximately 25 kilo-meters north of Leoville. The illegal dumping of these types of materials can pose serious envi-ronmental risks by con-taminating water sup-plies, polluting the soil and causing potential health issues for humans and wildlife.

“Although the overall quality of our environ-ment in Saskatchewan is excellent, deliberately

polluting it with gar-bage can affect both our natural resources and human health,” Minis-try of Environment Compliance and Field Services Executive Director Kevin Callele said. “Companies and individuals need to understand that viola-tions of this nature are serious and will be dealt with accordingly.”

The charge against Potzus Paving and Road Maintenance Ltd. falls under The Muni cipal Refuse Manage ment

Regulations of The Environmental Manage-ment and Protection Act. The company incurred a $18,900 fine. Besides the fine, the company was ordered to pay approximately $65,000 to clean up the garbage and properly dispose of it.

If you suspect envi-ronmental, wildlife, fisheries or forestry vio-lations, please call your local Ministry of Environment office, Saskatchewan’s toll-free Turn In Poachers (TIP)

line at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for SaskTel cell phone subscribers, or report a violation online at www.saskatch-

ewan.ca/conservation. Callers may be eligible for cash rewards from the SaskTip Reward Program.

Canada has had a long, rich history of fid-dle music, from coast to coast and everywhere in between. Scott Woods is set to explore all of them, and his new show “Fiddling in the Key of... Eh?” is a Canadian celebration of our fiddle music.

Woods says that the show captures the way Canada developed as a nation, as each region’s fiddle style grew from where people settled from, bringing their music along with them.

“When the settlers came to Canada they brought fiddle music with them, the tradi-tional styles of their own country. Kind of like a dialect in lan-guage, fiddling has a very unique style, often these fiddlers would play the exact same tunes but the way they played the tunes, the dialect part of that, was very different. So that’s what we’re exploring.”

That means that the band is exploring a wide range of styles, including Celtic and Cape Breton style, Acadian, a bit of Cajun, some French Canadian, Metis, and Eastern European styles such as Ukrainian fiddling.

“We are trying to look at all the different influences that make up Canadian-style fid-dling, and it’s really quite vastly different from coast to coast.”

Playing in different styles has been a chal-lenge for Woods, as he had to learn styles that

are outside of what he normally plays.

“Metis was a tough one, because they often put in an extra beat, an extra bar in the melody line. It’s just a different way of playing.”

He says he wanted to ensure he got it right, because he knows that the people know their styles. Coming to the Yorkton area, he says he’s paying special attention to what peo-ple play around here, especially things like the Ukrainian style, because the fiddlers in the audience will know if he gets it wrong and he can’t disappoint them.

“Fiddle players are tuned in to every little nuance in the music, so that’s a little bit nerve-wracking but that chal-lenge is exciting, to make sure that when we go to different areas we are playing those styles specifically as true as possible.”

Going for a wider variety and taking on different styles of fid-dling might have been difficult, but Woods says that it also makes it something that audi-ences can embrace in a way that other shows might not, something that has been reflected in the first part of the tour.

“People have been saying it’s the best show we’ve ever put together, because of the variety. So that makes it all worthwhile. You never know the back-grounds of people sit-ting in the audience, there’s somebody out there who is from the

east or from the west, who has a Scottish background or Irish or French or Ukrainian or whatever. The music will speak to them in a way it doesn’t speak to someone else. As chal-lenging as it may be, it’s really worthwhile.”

Woods has traditions of his own, all built around being as enter-taining as he possibly can. He says that he’s going to be known as the flipping fiddler until he can’t flip any-more, and he’s break-ing out the stunts again on this tour because it’s something he loves as much as the audience. Another tradition is to make a positive show, and Woods says that sometimes he’ll see couples hold hands dur-ing familiar songs which he says is one of the most rewarding parts.

“That really inspires us, that we’re speaking to them through the music... Whatever the music is doing to them, it’s connecting at the heart.”

Western Canada has always been a destina-tion for Woods, and that’s reflected in his touring schedule, which is full. He says it’s good to see that traditional fiddle music isn’t going anywhere, and there’s still a big demand and people who want to see that style of music.

Scott Woods will be in Yorkton on May 13 at the Royal Canadian Legion. Advance tick-ets are recommended and are available by calling toll free 1-855-SCOTTWOODS.

stage even while doing very little.

“He stands still, silently, for as long as he can... Essentially he stands there doing nothing, and you laugh at him, and he holds it for the longest time and it seems like an eterni-ty, but instead of get-ting bored they just laugh louder at him... He’s got a pretty remarkable comedic talent. Then, he has other moments in the play where he’s going crazy in terms of the physicalness of what he’s doing, and his physical comedy is hilarious but he also combines it with excel-lent comic timing.”

Casey Shields, who plays Older Female Actor was also singled out for praise, and Digout says that her role, which contrasts against the crazier parts, is challenging in a different way.

“Being a straight man amongst all the laughter can be a real challenge too.”

The play has a small crew, with only a single box on set, but Digout says that they still have a challenging job, espe-cially in sound and light, and he says that the strong team is important for making it

work.Taking home the

top prize means Sacred Heart will be travelling to provin-cials on May 7-9. The drama program has had success in the past playing against the best in the prov-ince, winning best overall production thee times in the past dozen years. The ten plays at the festival are all winners, how-ever, so Digout expects to see some great performances from the other schools.

“We’ll be seeing some high quality work there.”

The Sacred Heart Drama Club has been dominant on the local level, with thirteen wins at the Region 4

Drama Festival in the past fourteen years. He says that it’s a case of success breeding suc-cess, as kids come into school knowing that the drama program is something the school is proud of and that peo-ple want to get involved in, something that not every school can boast, especially when recruiting male actors. He also believes it’s something that the area helps with, as things like theatre pro-grams, school concerts and an active dance scene make kids ready

to get on stage.“I think we have the

benefit of a really vibrant arts community in Yorkton. We’ve got kids that come to our school already having a wealth of experience through various things... We’ve got kids that are comfortable on stage, and that comes across.”

Before they go to Provincials, the Drama Club will put on a per-formance for the com-munity on Sunday, May 3 at 8:00 p.m. for free at the Sacred Heart Theatre.MACK TOURAND won the Mary Ellen Burgess Performance

A recent lottery winner doesn’t want anyone to know they won the lottery. The person who won the $50 million prize is trying to maintain their anonym-ity, and so far has been able to do so, though they haven’t received any of the money they are owed. It’s a legal fight now, and one that comes with the ques-tion of how much anonymity can someone expect to receive if they win the jackpot.

The people running the lottery have incentive to make winners public. In short, it shows that people have won, which is good for a couple reasons. One, it proves that the lottery winnings are going some-where, to real people, it’s a bit of transparency to prove that the lottery is working as intended and the prizes are going to people who deserve them. Lottery commissions have had a constant fight to prove that everyone dealing with lottery winnings is on the up and up, which is of course why anyone who has ever gone into a convenience store has heard the irritating “woo-hoo” that accompanies a winning ticket. With great jackpots comes great responsibility.

The second reason is pure marketing, for every face they put behind a giant novelty cheque there’s the implication that someone else could be the next. It’s a business of selling fantasy, and the fantasy of winning untold riches is one that can drive people to

buy tickets and keep buying. The release of the names of the winners is a way to remind people that if their friends and neighbors can get a pile of money for little effort, in theory so can they.

The winner doesn’t quite get a good angle from this, of course. There are countless stories of people whose lives were ruined after a giant cash windfall made a large pile of people want their own part of the payout. Some of this passes into the realm of urban legend, of course, as oral history has a tendency to inflate consequences and tweak the details, but everyone knowing you’ve got money in the bank is undoubtedly going to get you more attention than you would otherwise have.

It stands to reason that one wouldn’t want to risk having their face tied to such a big jackpot. That risk is increased in the case of this prize, as it was a jack-pot that was unclaimed for a long period of time and as a result got a steady increase in the amount of attention as the search for a winner concluded. This also means that the lottery commission is equally determined to get a face to the jackpot winner, because if they are in a constant fight for credibility they do need to prove that the winner of a nearly unclaimed jackpot is a real person. This isn’t some-thing that will be settled quietly as the stakes are quite high for both sides.

To be fair, we don’t know what will happen to our mystery winner, they might be more paranoid than is warranted. The announcement could come and go with no real consequences for their life, apart from a much fuller bank account. Still, everyone knowing that bank account is filled with millions of dollars could have people coming out of the woodwork trying to get their hands on it, any paranoia they may have is legitimate. But I actually side with the lottery com-missions on this. Not for publicity reasons, but for transparency ones. The trust of the public is the only way a lottery can work, and that is compromised if you give cash to people in the shadows.

Tax system is overcomplicated

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) applauded the government’s 2015-16 federal budget, one that will show a small surplus after seven years of debt-accumulating deficits.

“Credit where due: the Harper government has shown the necessary discipline to get the books back into the black. We’re also encour-aged that they’ve resisted the temptation to go on a spending spree in an election year,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Moving forward, it will be important to control spending – future spending in this budget is still project-ed to outpace inflation – and instead begin to apply the savings to our federal debt, which now sits at well over $600 billion,” he added.

The budget also includes welcome measures to leave more money in the pockets of Canadians, including an increase of Tax Free Savings Account annual limits to $10,000, and a reduc-tion in the small business tax rate to 9 per cent.

“These measures will ensure that individual Canadians and their families are further empowered to make decisions about how their own money is best spent, especially when it comes to saving for the future,” said Wudrick.

The CTF also noted that contrary to popular perception, this government does not face a shortage of revenues; even correcting for popu-lation growth and inflation, spending is still at least $15 billion higher per year than when they came to office in 2006.

While positive on the budget overall, the CTF noted the disconcerting trend of corporate wel-fare and “boutique” tax credits continues, including $100 million on an “Automotive Supplier Innovation Program” and an acceler-ated capital cost allowance available only to manufacturers.

“The government needs to stop cluttering up the tax code, picking winners and losers, and giving special treatment to some industries but not others,” said Wudrick. “By all means cut taxes - but do it across the board.”

“Overall, this is a good news budget for Canadians,” said Wudrick. “At long last the debt has stopped accumulating for future gen-erations. Their taxes are lower. There is still a long way to go in dealing with the debt, but the government is slowly moving in the right direc-tion. We urge them to tackle it aggressively going forward.”

The CTF is Canada’s leading non-partisan citizens’ advocacy group fighting for lower taxes, less waste and accountable government.

As deadline day approaches for filing personal income tax returns, Canadians are being forced to wrestle with an ever evolving tax system that is much more complicated than it was in the 1990s, finds a new study by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“Canadian families and businesses incur sig-nificant costs to comply with the tax system including time and direct spending on accoun-tants, lawyers and computer software packages. A key factor driving these costs is the complexity of our tax system,” said Charles Lammam, direc-tor of fiscal studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Measuring Tax Complexity in Canada.

The study aims to quantify just how byzantine Canada’s tax system has become.

For example, between 1990 and 2014, the text area (the number of pages multiplied by the size of the pages) occupied by the federal Income Tax Act increased to 1,575,537 cm2 from 974,050 cm2. Expressed differently, Canada’s printed tax laws now cover 62 per cent more space than they did in the 1990s.

Other indicators examined in the study

include:Administrative documents: From 2001 to 2011,

the federal personal income tax guide (for Ontario)— a document which provides informa-tion, instructions, and references for tax prepar-ers — increased in size by 25 per cent, to 70 from 56 pages.

Tax legislation: The ever-rising number of court cases on Goods and Services Tax (GST)-related legislation suggests a growing intricacy in Canada’s sales’ tax laws. In 2011 there were 499 court cases on GST matters —up from 320 in 1993.

Tax expenditures: From 1991 to 2011, the number of personal income tax expenditures—which include the credits, deductions, exemptions and exclusions available to Canadians— increased to 123 from 105. The number of corporate tax expenditures rose to 64 from 48.

“What’s clear is that all indicators point to an increase in federal tax complexity for Canadian families, businesses and even governments A worthwhile goal is to simplify the tax system, making it easier to understand and less expensive in time and money. Lammam said.

To the Editor:

In many ways the fed-eral budget wasn’t all that surprising. Many of the government’s key initia-tives were already announced (the so-called “Family Tax Cut” pack-age) or telegraphed as part of the Conservatives 2011 platform (raising the TFSA annual contribu-tion ceiling to $10,000). The remainder included a smattering of relatively smaller initiatives to sat-isfy various interest groups in advance of the federal election.

What it lacked, and what Canada so desper-ately needed, was a robust, big-thinking bud-get to push Canada’s economy forward.

Start with the biggest news item in the budget: the fiscal balance. Finance Minister Joe Oliver and fellow Conservative poli-ticians had long trumpet-ed the return to a bal-anced budget this fiscal year, ending a seven-year period of consecutive defi-cits totalling nearly $150 billion.

With an election approaching, the govern-ment’s position obviously did not waver, despite sliding oil prices and the

expectations of a weaken-ing economy.

In order to achieve the $1.4 billion “surplus” in 2015/16, the government is partly relying on asset sales (including a $2.1 bil-lion net gain from selling GM shares). This reliance on one-time revenue sources casts doubt on the balanced budget claim.

In addition, the gov-ernment has lowered the annual cushion in its fis-cal plan relative to last year’s budget. The gov-ernment had previously built in a $3 billion annu-al cushion to protect against unforeseen risks; the cushion was cut to $1 billion for the next three years.

In light of falling pro-jected economic growth, now is a risky time to reduce the cushion, espe-cially with razor thin sur-pluses.

But the real drawback with this budget is the lack of strong economic vision for Canada. While there are positive things like the announcement to expand the annual room for TFSA contribution, it missed the opportunity to truly set the foundation for stronger economic growth and higher living standards for Canadians.

Put simply, the policies outlined in the budget simply do not give Canada the economic shot in the arm it needs. It was last year’s budget that stated “the Government’s plan to return to balanced bud-gets is not an end in itself, but a means to increase Canada’s economic poten-tial, improve employment opportunities for Canadians, and raise our standard of living.”

Budget 2015 does little to achieve these ends.

On the revenue side, much was made about tax reductions in the budget, but the budget actually increases the federal tax burden. Specifically, tax revenues will increase from 11.4 per cent of GDP last year to 11.8 per cent in 2015/16 and to 11.9 per cent in 2016/17.

To help weather the cloud of uncertainty hov-ering over the Canadian economy, the government could have undertaken a variety of pro-growth reforms. For instance, it could have enacted broad-based tax reform in the form of lower personal income tax rates to improve Canada’s com-petitiveness and strength-en our economy by encour-aging productive activity

like increased work effort, saving, investment and entrepreneurship. And the fiscal room for such reform could have been achieved by cleaning up the tax code and doing away with several bou-tique tax credits, which increasingly populate our tax system and make it complex.

Alternatively, the Conservatives could have reduced capital gains taxes, which apply to the sale of assets when the selling price exceeds the original purchase price. This may not be the sexi-est policy topic heading into an election year, but the reality is that capital gains taxes impose enor-mous economic costs and bring in relatively little revenue in return (just 1.1 per cent of total fed-eral revenues).

Instead of bold, pro-growth ideas, the Conservatives choose a largely status quo and stay-the-course budget. It may not have been sur-prising, but it certainly wasn’t inspiring.

The experience of other nations shows there are several options for introducing a universal drug insurance program, and it should not be based on the single-payer gov-ernment-run option currently being debated in Canada, concludes a new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan think-tank.

“Calls for a national government-run Pharma care program are often founded on concerns about the affordability of prescrip-tion drugs, particularly for low-income Canadians.

“But expansion of government insurance coverage is not costless and must be judged against the coverage already provided by Canadian governments,” said Nadeem Esmail, Fraser Institute senior fellow and co-author of Drug Coverage for Low-Income Families: The Canadian reality and lessons from Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The study is comprised of two essays which seek to inform the debate about prescription drug insurance policy in Canada.

The first essay provides an overview of pro-vincial drug programs and concludes that low-income Canadians already have compre-hensive prescription drug insurance cover-age.

While the levels of coverage vary province by province, lower-income Canadians have access to at least catastrophic insurance for prescription drugs while those on social assis-tance have coverage at very low or zero cost.

“It is critical to understand current cover-age already available to Canadians, particu-larly those with lower-incomes, to judge whether expansions in government services would be a sound use of taxpayer dollars,” Esmail said.

The second essay examines how Switzerland and the Netherlands — two countries often lauded for high performing health care sys-tems — provide universal pharmaceutical coverage to their populations.

Interestingly, neither nation has opted to pursue a government-run insurance scheme, as has been widely-called for in Canada. Instead, both nations provide universal access for all health care services (including pharma-ceuticals) through private insurers in schemes which involve health insurance premiums as well as some cost-sharing in the form of co-payments or deductibles.

Low-income citizens and those exposed to high drug costs still have access to pharma-ceuticals, however, through premium dis-counts, cost-sharing exemptions, and other public-safety nets.

“Providing additional access to prescription drugs for those in need doesn’t require a gov-ernment-run single payer program. The expe-rience of the Dutch and Swiss systems shows there are other options that have proven themselves markedly superior in terms of cost effectiveness, wait times, and healthcare out-comes,” added Bacchus Barua, Fraser Institute senior economist and co-author of the study.

The Fraser Institute is an independent Canadian public policy research and educa-tional organization with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal and ties to a global network of think-tanks in 87 countries. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for Canadians, their families and future genera-tions by studying, measuring and broadly communicating the effects of government policies, entrepreneurship and choice on their well-being. To protect the Institute’s indepen-dence, it does not accept grants from govern-ments or contracts for research.

Current coverage working wellBudget lacks economic boost

To the Editor:

There’s growing controversy about Stephen Harper’s changes to “Tax-Free Savings Accounts” (TFSAs), especially compared to how he chopped the old age pension a few years ago.

He is nearly doubling the annual TFSA contribution limit (from $5500 to $10,000), thus ballooning the costs of this program by many billions of dollars and skewing it toward wealthier households. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has published a blunt critique, calling the changes “regressive.”

With annual contributions up to $5500, TFSAs have generally been within reach for most Canadians. But interestingly, only about one-third of all those eligible actually participate, and fewer than a quar-ter of that third contribute the maximum. If not used-up in one year, the room to make a TFSA contribution can be carried for-ward. At the existing annual limit of $5500, the average TFSA still has close to $10,000 of unused room for more contributions.

So there would not appear to be a compelling case for boosting the annual limit. How many middle-class families have an extra unuti-lized $10,000 available in after-tax money every year to max-out? Almost doubling the limit, as Mr. Harper is doing, creates invest-ment advantages increasingly lim-ited to those with higher wealth. Is that good public policy? Is it afford-able?

These questions bring to mind the cuts Mr. Harper is imposing on Canada’s Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) system. It looks like a double standard. While TFSAs are being enriched, the OAS and GIS are being curtailed in a manner that will take nearly $32,000 from the very lowest-in-come seniors.

In the aggregate over future years, Mr. Harper’s OAS/GIS reductions will generate several billions of dollars in “savings” for the federal treasury, while his expansion of TFSAs will deplete that same treasury (and the prov-inces too) by several billions of dol-lars.

The trade-off is clear — the small pensions of the least wealthy and most vulnerable seniors are being cut to make room for higher retirement incomes for the more well-to-do. That strikes a lot of people as unfair.

It’s important to note what the OAS/GIS are, and who benefits:

* These are modest retirement income support programs provided by the federal government — the OAS since 1952, the GIS since 1967. Beneficiaries do not contrib-ute premiums. All Canadians (on a means-related basis) become eligi-ble for the OAS upon reaching the age 65. If they have very little other income, they are also eligible for the GIS.

* The maximum OAS monthly benefit for a single individual is currently $564. The maximum GIS is $764. That works out to a grand total of just $1,328 per month, or $15,937 per year for seniors at the lowest end of the income scale.

* OAS/GIS benefits are scaled down (and eventually eliminated altogether) for those who have other higher sources of retirement income. The system is thus focused on seniors who don’t have many options to support themselves in a secure and dignified way.

* From a fiscal perspective, the cost of the OAS/GIS today is equal to about 2.5 per cent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product. That’s a bargain compared to many other countries where their public pen-sion systems consume some 10 per cent or more.

* This attack on future lower-income seniors directly violates an

explicit election promise made by Stephen Harper personally. He has broken his word.

of one point of GDP.* A vast array of experts and

actuaries have reported that Canada’s OAS/GIS system is sound and secure and doesn’t need this age-change — including analysts with the OECD, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the Auditor General, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the Fitch and Moodys rating agencies, the universities of Calgary, British Columbia and York, the Centre for Policy Alternatives, the C.D. Howe Institute and others. In short — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

* Furthermore, delaying the eli-gibility age doesn’t make the need go away. Losing two years of bene-fits will cause some of the most vulnerable seniors to fall below the poverty line. Many will have to seek social assistance from provin-cial governments. So the real costs just get transferred from one level of government to another.

* Fundamentally, the main point is fairness. Who are the Harper government’s primary victims here? They are those who must rely on OAS/GIS the most. They are those with the most meagre incomes and the fewest alternatives. They are very often single women living alone. From these Canadians, in their years between 65 and 67, Mr. Harper is going to take nearly $32,000.

This policy is simply wrong. The recent TFSA enhancements make that point glaringly obvious. How can Mr. Harper claim he has to cut support for the poorest elderly wid-ows, while his budget is bolstering the incomes of those already more affluent?

Surely Canada can do better than this!

An undercover inves-tigation by the Ministry of Environment to stop an illegal fish traffick-ing ring in northern Saskatchewan has net-ted 15 charges under Saskatchewan’s Out-fitter and Guide Regulations and The Fisheries Act and Regulations, and more than $50,000 in fines.

The charges were laid by the ministry after information was received in 2011 relat-ing to illegal outfitting and the abuse of wall-eye stocks in the Buffalo Narrows area. The abuse was occurring on a large scale and had the potential to affect the local walleye popu-

lation.Undercover officers

determined that illegal outfitting was taking place without an outfit-ters’ licence. The offi-cers were also approached by subsis-tence fishermen who sold fish to them ille-gally.

In May 2014, the first of four men charged in connection with the case – Leon Morin of Buffalo Narrows – was convicted of four counts of unlawful marketing of fish caught by both commercial fishing and subsistence fishing, and fined a total of $19,360. He was also handed a two year com-mercial fishing licence

prohibition and a two year probation during which time he cannot aid or assist anyone who is commercial fish-ing.

Richard Hansen of Buffalo Narrows was convicted of one count of unlawful outfitting, two counts of unlawful marketing of fish caught by subsistence fishing, one count of providing subsistence fish to someone other than a family member, and one count of unlaw-fully setting a gill net. He was fined a total of $18,510.

Fish may be pur-chased for personal consumption from a licensed commercial

fisher or a fish dealer. By law, vendors have to provide a receipt that includes the seller’s name, address and licence number, the water body where the fish were caught, the fish species and the form in which it was purchased (e.g. round, dressed or filleted), the quantity and sale price of the fish and the date of purchase.

Anyone approached to buy fish who believes the sale is not legal is encouraged to contact the nearest Ministry of Environment office, the province’s toll-free Turn In Poachers (TIP) hotline at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for

SaskTel cell phone sub-scribers, or report a violation online at www.saskatchewan.ca/conservation. Callers

During the summer, the Highway Hotline is updated to inform motorists of construc-tion zones, flooding, forest fires or other events. The travel plan-ning route locator pro-vides the latest infor-mation on frequently travelled highways in your preferred area. A visual system of con-struction pylons and alert icons has been created on the Highway Hotline map to denote road restrictions.

“With a record high-ways budget of $842 million, travellers can expect to see a number of construction zones this summer,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister

Nancy Heppner said. “The Highway Hotline is a great tool to relay up-to-date information to the public.”

The Saskatchewan Highway Hotline receives more than four million inquiries per year. In addition, the Highway Hotline social media pages continue to attract more and more visitors. Currently, the Highway Hotline hosts about 37,000 Facebook follow-ers and almost 20,000 Twitter followers.

Ed, my neighbor next door, refuses to believe I could live so long and know so little. My neighbor was irri-tated with me last week when he asked me the worst name I could call another person.

Ed likes to call other folks names, like, brain-dead, stupid, greedy and ding-bat. These were among the milder labels he puts on peo-ple. When I told him, it was no compliment to call other people, ‘sheep.’ He lost himself in pure frustration with me.

“Hit me with a stick or stone, and I might bleed,” Ed fumed. “Call me stupid or a ding-bat and look out for those are fighting words. Call me a sheep and I could care less! Ray, you are so pathetic that you cannot even insult other people with force,” my neighbor ranted at me.

Ed gets edgy and sour, as spring becomes a more permanent real-ity.

As Ed starts calcu-lating his seeding plans and tabulating the cost of seed, fertilizer, spray and fuel, he can get a bit impatient calling other people unflatter-ing names.

His words tend to become critical to the point of caustic. When Ed completes his seed-ing, he is less willing to call other people names. Seeding and harvest time bring out the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide personality in my

neighbor. Like the rest of us,

Ed has a split personal-ity. Sometimes we are edgy and critical, and other times calm and tolerant. We can all be nice, and we can all be nasty, towards others depending on the situa-tion, day, or season. As human beings, we tend to be very unpredict-able.

When God calls his children sheep, it is not because they are unpre-dictable. Being called a sheep may seem a neu-tral name but it isn’t. It means you are com-pletely predictable and

defenseless. For their protection, sheep run away from an enemy. They are not exception-ally fast runners so their predators can out run them. Skunks can fight off enemies with their spray, and porcu-pines pierce their ene-mies with quills, but sheep have no way to protect themselves when caught by a pred-ator.

Sheep are animals that wander off, and get lost or in trouble effortlessly. Sheep need a shepherd to protect and direct them if they hope to live long or well. Sheep are extremely vulnerable but never seem to know it. What the sheep know isn’t as important as what their shepherd knows and does for them. Sheep need a good shepherd who will offer them untiring goodness in the form of provision, rest, protection, guid-

ance, and the promise of a good future.

King David wrote about God being his Good Shepherd in the 23rd Psalm. Having been a shepherd him-self, David identified God in the Psalm, as his good shepherd lead-ing and protecting him like a sheep during David’s life. God grant-ed to David protection, provisions, guidance,

rest, and the promise of an eternal home. The king knew God was ready and willing to give the same things to all God’s children or all God’s sheep, as their shepherd in daily life. Like sheep, many folks do not recognize that they are vulnerable and defenseless against the predators of evil. They refuse God’s loving shepherding.

Yorkton will mark Emergency Pre-paredness Week in the city following unani-mous support for City Council.

“Emergency Pre-paredness Week is a national awareness ini-tiative that has taken place annually since 1996,” Lisa Washington, Community Develop-ment Manager, told the regular meeting of Council Monday.

This collaborative event encourages Canadians to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies:

• Know the risks• Make a plan• Get an emergency

kit.This year, Emergency

Preparedness Week takes place from May 3 to 9.

“While governments at all levels work hard to keep Canada safe, everyone has a role to

play in being prepared for an emergency. Building awareness is a great first step towards being ready for emer-gencies. Knowing the risks, making emergen-cy plans, and getting emergency kits can help Yorkton residents pre-pare for emergencies,” said Washington.

“Being prepared for anything nature sends our way is a part of life in our province. Emergencies can strike at anytime and any-where, often with little or no notice.”

Washington said peo-ple need to take their own steps to be ready.

“Preparedness starts at home and whether you are eight or eighty, everyone has a role to play in becoming better prepared,” she said.

“In an emergency, families should be able to survive without assis-tance for three full days – 72 hours.

“However, that takes planning, which is what

Emergency Pre-paredness is all about – being ready for nearly anything.”

In recognition of Emergency Pre-paredness Week, the City is hosting, in con-junction with the Red Cross, and Salvation Army, information opportunities in the lobby of the Gallagher Centre on Tuesday, May

5 from 5:00 – 7:30 p.m. There will be displays, written information, and people on-hand to answer questions about local emergency pre-paredness; how to respond to an emergen-cy; and what to expect from our local and pro-vincial authorities when an emergency happens, explained Washington.

Happy Happy Mother’s Day Mother’s Day

To You!To You!

During the housing market crash of the first decade of the 21st century, many families learned to get by with less. For some of those families, less lav-ish living fit like a glove, prompting them to change their lifestyles for the long haul.

Downsizing to smaller homes was a move made by many families over the last several years. Some did so out of eco-nomic need, while others pre-ferred the simpler lifestyle that often comes with living in a smaller home. Families about to downsize to smaller homes may find the task ahead of them daunting, but there are some ways to make the transition to less spacious residences go more smoothly.

· Discuss downsizing with kids. In many ways, youngsters adapt to change better than adults. But it's still a good idea for parents to explain downsiz-ing to their children before they begin to prepare for their transi-tions to smaller living spaces. Kids who understand the rea-sons behind downsizing are more likely to embrace the move, while those who have not been involved in the process may find it more difficult to adjust. When the time comes to begin choosing items to discard, allow children to choose which of their items they will not be keeping. Respect their deci-sions, exercising patience if kids are initially reluctant or don't seem to understand downsiz-ing.

· Design a downsizing sys-tem. It is not uncommon for families to be lukewarm when the initial process of downsiz-ing begins, as people are under-standably hesitant to discard items they worked hard to accu-mulate or cherish for various reasons. A downsizing system can make that initial period less uncomfortable, especially if family members are together on the first day of downsizing. Let each family member take a turn choosing an item to sell, donate or discard, and continue so fam-ily members know everyone is in it together. Once kids have seen that everyone is making sacrifices, they are more likely to embrace downsizing.

· Begin in the attic, basement and garage. Downsizing to a smaller home often means less storage space, and attics, base-ments and garages tend to serve as in-house storage units where seldom-used items accumulate over time. When trying to choose which items won't be coming along to their smaller homes, families can start in their current homes' attics, basements and garages, looking for items that take up too much space or those that will serve no practical purpose at their new homes. For example, that snow blower in the garage may be a godsend when the time comes to clear your expansive current drive-way of another storm's worth of snow, but it might not be worth the space it takes up if your next home has a short driveway or

just on-street parking. Once rooms used primarily for stor-age have been cleaned out, you can then move on to other rooms in the house to find items that won't be going with you. Look

to sell, donate or discard items that will not serve much pur-pose atyour next home.

· Don't just discard, donate or sell. One of the hidden benefits of downsizing to a smaller home

is the chance to make some money by selling those items you won't be needing after you move into your new digs. Schedule a yard sale and give ample notice to neighbors or fellow community members so you can get as much as possible for the items you no longer need. If money is no object, donating your unwanted items to a local goodwill store or another charity is a great way to ensure your possessions find their way into the homes of people who truly need them. When getting rid of personal items, only discard those items that are no longer functional. If they can still serve a purpose, then someone can benefit from using them.

· Promise to revisit the deci-sion down the road after mov-ing. Families who are downsiz-ing for a lifestyle change as opposed to out of economic need can promise to revisit the decision together in the future. Families may be quick to adjust and be grateful for the change, while others might realize their decision did not produce the desired results. Promising to revisit the decision once the dust has settled can give every-one some peace of mind and make the transition that much easier.

Families downsize to smaller homes for a number of reasons, and there are many ways to make that transition go more smoothly regardless of the rea-sons behind the move.

Saskatchewan’s big game draw opens online May 1 and hunters have until midnight June 2 to submit their online application. Early applications are recommended.

The big game draw is a transparent and equitable method of allocating a limited number of hunting l i c ences t o Saskatchewan resi-dents. This year’s draw includes licences for elk, moose, either-sex mule deer and antler-less mule deer.

“Saskat chewan ’ s spectacular natural resources provide ample recreational opportunities for out-door enthusiasts,

including big game hunting,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “This year, the big game draw moves to our province’s auto-mated hunting, angling and trapping licence (HAL) system. I encourage all hunters to apply early to ensure adequate time to famil-iarize themselves with the new process.”

The 2015 big game draw will be adminis-tered through HAL, including submitting, reviewing and updat-ing an application, checking pool status history and purchasing a draw licence. These changes help to stream-line and simplify the process.

Customers can also verify their residency status through a new online feature. It is recommended that Saskatchewan custom-ers use this feature to verify their residency status before attempt-ing to purchase a licence, or apply for the big game draw so that any errors in their information can be resolved. Customers may contact the Active Network call centre at 1-855-848-4773 or a ministry office for assis-tance with issues relat-ed to their account information.

Saskatchewan resi-dents who are sponsor-ing a Canadian resi-dent in the Canadian

resident white-tailed deer draw must have a HAL account.

If hunters are suc-cessful in the big game draw, the appropriate

licence will be available for purchase on their HAL account. Hunters can simply select the licences they want to purchase and complete

the transaction.For more informa-

tion about the big game draw and HAL, visit www.environment.gov.sk.ca/licences.

The flags at Saskatchewan’s legis-lative building were at half-mast on April 28 in recognition of work-ers who have lost their lives to workplace inju-ries and illnesses.

The names of 39 Saskatchewan workers who died in 2014 will have their names read into the records in the Legislature, followed by a moment of silence.

April 28 marks the National Day of Mourning to commemo-rate workers who have been killed, injured or

become ill as a result of their jobs.

“Even one life lost is one too many, and today our thoughts are with the families and loved ones left behind to mourn,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “Today, and every day, we need to take care of one another. We are all responsible for keeping workplaces safe and healthy so that we can put an end to these tragic losses.”

In 2014, the WCB

accepted 35,836 injury claims.

The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety, in partnership with the Workers’ Compensation Board, aims to prevent workplace illnesses and injuries through WorkSafe Saskatche-wan. The partnership provides education and support to workers and employers in the prov-ince. To learn more about WorkSafe Saskatchewan, visit www.worksafesask.ca.

Since I will be retiring at the next election, this will be the last budget I will deal with as your Member of Parliament. I am excited about our Government’s Economic Action Plan 2015. As promised, it is balanced, and will have a surplus of over a billion dollars to pay down debt. And I’m happy to report that it contains some key mea-

sures to support Cana-dian families and our economy. These include:

· Cutting Tax for Small Business: Economic Action Plan 2015 propos-es to further reduce the small business tax rate down to 9 per cent by 2019. Due to measures taken since the Conser-va tives formed govern-ment, taxes for small businesses have been

reduced by almost 50 per cent.

· Supporting Families: This budget benefits 100 per cent of families with children by lowering taxes and increasing ben-efits. That means that due to measures intro-duced by our govern-ment, the average family of four will be $6,600 bet-ter off.

· Tax Free Savings Account: Eleven million Canadians have already opened Tax-Free Savings accounts to save money for their priorities. Economic Action Plan 2015 proposes to increase annual contribution limit

from $5,500 to $10,000, effective for the 2015 tax-ation year.

· Supporting Job-Creating Businesses: The newest budget plan pro-poses to provide funding to responsibly develop our resources and increase the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption to $1 million for Canadian farmers and fishermen.

· Supporting Seniors: Seniors form a large per-centage of people in the Yorkton-Melville constit-uency. Economic Action Plan 2015 proposes to provide more flexibility for this segment of our population by reducing

the minimum withdraw-al factors for Registered Retirement Income Funds, giving seniors the ability to keep more of their retirement savings. Our Government has also listened to the plea from many Seniors and Disability organizations to assist people to remain in their own homes for longer. This budget pro-poses a new, permanent, non-refundable Home Accessibility Tax Credit for seniors and persons with disabilities.

· National Security: To ensure that our Armed Forces continue to have what they need to accom-plish the dangerous tasks required of them, Economic Action Plan 2015 proposes increase National Defence’s bud-get by $11.8 billion over 10 years. We are also providing new funding to help fight terrorism.

Since the recession, Canada has created over 1.2 million new jobs, but

we live in uncertain times and the global economy remains fragile. That’s why Economic Action Plan 2015 will help us stay focussed on creating more jobs and growing the economy.

I’m also pleased to note that our Province of Saskatchewan will receive record high trans-fer payments to support health care, education, and social programs – $1.5B in federal trans-fers this year. That’s an increase of $409M (or 38 per cent) since we formed government.

Not only was this bud-get designed to let people keep more of their hard-earned dollars, but it places the emphasis where it belongs – on doing as much as possi-ble to keep life affordable and secure for anyone who calls Canada home. Our country continues to lead the world economi-cally, and is the envy of nations worldwide.

Economic Action Plan 2015 will benefit all

Op-Ed Column

The Advisory Group on Poverty Reduction launched its online pub-lic consultation website on April 23. Saskatchewan citizens, communities, govern-ments and businesses have the opportunity to provide their feedback on how we can work togeth-er to make life better for those in our province who are unable to meet their basic needs.

“I commend the Advisory Group for the work they have done so far in identifying ways our government can make life better for our province’s most vulnera-ble people,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. “Public input will help to strengthen the recom-mendations that will inform our province’s approach to poverty reduction.”

The Advisory Group’s online survey is available on the website at www.saskatchewan.ca/govern-ment /have-your-say /reducing-poverty-in-sas-katchewan.

“The online survey will serve as a means to complement the consul-tation work our group is doing,” Advisory Group

on Poverty Reduction co-chair Alison Robertson said. “We ask all Saskatchewan citizens, community members, businesses and organiza-tions to take a few short minutes of their time to answer some key ques-tions on how we can all work together to reduce p o v e r t y i n Saskatchewan.”

In addition to the online process, the Advisory Group is also holding one-on-one meet-ings with key stakehold-ers across the province. The group will also be hosting a roundtable dis-cussion on poverty reduc-tion at the end of the month. The day-long facilitated discussion will take place in Saskatoon and will include the par-ticipation of more than 130 organizations and individuals from across the province.

The 11-member Poverty Reduction Advisory Group is made up of six members of the public and five members of government. The group is expected to pro-vide its recommendations to government that will inform the development of a poverty reduction strategy in June 2015.

Feedback wanted to reduce poverty

The winner of the 2 0 1 5 R o y a l Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) Graduate Student Scholarship, Tera Edkins, will spend the next two years in the province studying the ecology of snakes in Saskatchewan’s Big Muddy Valley. She is the scholarship’s first recipi-ent.

Edkins recently com-pleted her undergradu-ate studies at the University of Manitoba. This spring, she will begin work on her Master’s degree in the Biology department at the University of Regina under the supervision of the RSM’s Dr. Ray Poulin and the U of R’s Dr. Chris Somers.

“I am confident that the partnership between Tera and the RSM will be a mutually beneficial one,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “The RSM will provide her with the tools she needs, as well as expert guidance, while Tera will help further our understanding of Saskatchewan snakes and their environment.”

The RSM Graduate Student Scholarship, a partnership between the Friends of the Museum and the RSM, accepted applications until November 2014. It is val-ued at $25,000 ($12,500 per year for two years). Its aim is to support highly qualified gradu-ate students pursuing research that focuses on Saskatchewan’s natural or human history—ecol-ogy, palaeontology or archaeology, for instance. The scholarship will be offered annually.

“I am very thankful for this scholarship and for the opportunity to study in Saskatchewan,” Edkins said. “There’s a lot to learn about the ecology of grassland spe-cies and this scholarship will make it possible to conduct this research right here in Saskatchewan’s Big Muddy Valley.”

Scholarship funds were raised by the Friends of the Museum. The Friends is a non-profit, members-based organization and regis-tered charity that sup-ports the RSM.

Throughout the fall and winter months quilters in the area gather at the Yorkton branch of the Western Development Museum to create with cloth.

The York Colony Quilters Guild Inc. do more than make quilts, said group chair Maryann Zuk, who said the group makes shawls, toiletry bags and placemats, all of them often made to donate.

“We do charity quilts for various organiza-tions,” said Zuk, who explained the groups they donate too usually raffle the quilts, or use them in silent auctions as a way to raise dol-lars.

“The quilts are a group effort,” she added, noting they reg-ularly donated to the Health Foundation Gala, as well as having shared quilts with Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon, and local Victim Services.

The group also regu-larly makes a quilt for the annual Yorkton

Threshermen’s Show.And from there the

donations broadened

for the 30-member quilter guild to include shawls donated to

nursing homes for resi-dents, and toiletry bags filled with useful items

donated to Shelwin House.

2014 was another suc-cessful year for Cornerstone Credit Union, with a continued growth of the balance sheet, increased member benefits, and improved profitability despite the continued challenges of the current financial environment.

Kevin Lukey, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union comments “Cornerstone’s initia-tives in 2014 were all tied to our new vision of Creating an amazing experience and tailoring financial solutions at every point along life’s journey. Like a bank we have customers; we call them members. We also have shareholders; we call them members. Unlike a bank, our cus-tomer-members and shareholder members are always one and the same. We are a member-centric organization, with a focus on providing the best value and ser-vice to our members and owners.” Cornerstone continues to enhance their service to ensure the best service at every member interaction whether on the phone, in branch, or at the kitchen table.

Cornerstone also focuses on providing the best value to their mem-bers. Cornerstone is the first full service financial institution to offer No-Fee accounts to their members in our market-place. The FreeStyle No-Fee personal che-quing account is a no-fee, no minimum balance, no strings attached account that has been widely accepted by members.

Cornerstone part-nered with Conexus, Innovation and Synergy credit unions to establish a formal collaboration agreement. The four credit unions already col-laborate on several fronts and are excited to con-tinue working together

for the benefit of all stakeholders – members, communities and employ-ees. Collaboration will open up many benefits to members including enhanced products and services, more efficient use of resources and a better understanding of member needs. This is not a merger; it is a bold and innovative model of collaboration.

Cornerstone Credit Union not only wants what’s best for its mem-bers, but also their com-munities. Being a mem-ber-owned institution, all profits are invested locally. In 2014, Cornerstone contributed approximately $200,000 to hundreds of local com-munity events, groups and organizations. Cornerstone recognizes community leadership is about more than just financial support; it’s about leading the way and making a difference for the benefit of the community. The staff of Cornerstone demonstrat-ed leadership by invest-ing over 5,300 hours of personal volunteer time back into worthwhile local community initia-tives in the past year.

News ReleaseApril 21, 20152014 was an excellent

year financially for Cornerstone Credit Union, as reported at its annual meeting on March 24th . Cornerstone’s balance sheet grew by 6.5 per cent in 2014, with year over year loan growth of 6 per cent and deposit growth of 7 per cent. Profitability was better than expected with total earnings of $7.4 million. Return on average assets was also stronger than expected and prior year at .91 per cent of assets. Net interest margin and operating efficiency were contributing factors for improved profitability.

Midway through 2013,

regulators introduced new capital standards for credit unions. Cornerstone’s capital position in relation to the new standards continues to exceed both current and proposed future reg-ulatory standards for capital requirements. However, during 2014 Cornerstone refined its internal capital adequa-cy process called (ICAAP)

which is a new regulato-ry requirement and, as a result, believes it’s pru-dent to further increase capital levels.

With these changes to the regulatory environ-ment and the results of the ICAAP process, there is a need to further grow Cornerstone’s capital position. For this reason, no member patronage will be paid from 2014 as

100 per cent of current year profits will be directed to retained earn-ings to increase the required capital position for the credit union.

“We are extremely proud of our accomplish-ments and successes over this past year. This would not be possible without the loyalty and support of our many stakeholders that

includes our staff, board of directors, and to our members and owners,” says Kevin Lukey. Cor-nerstone Credit Union is the fifth largest credit union in Saskat chewan, with over $1 billion in total assets, employing over 200 people, serving approximately 25,000 members with branches in 13 Saskatchewan com-munities.

Continued growth for Cornerstone Credit Union

Finding Saskatche-wan-made products just became a bit easier at Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) liquor stores.

A new ‘DrinkSask’ campaign will see SLGA promote Saskatchewan-made products through dedicated shelving dis-plays and other promo-tional materials in its stores.

“Saskatchewan’s alco-hol producers have quick-ly earned a reputation for producing quality product,” Minister responsible for SLGA Don McMorris said. “Customer interest in Saskatchewan-made products is growing and so are the number of businesses involved in the industry.”

There are currently nine Saskatchewan man-ufacturers that list prod-ucts in SLGA liquor

stores. In addition, many other businesses have permits to manufacture and sell Saskatchewan spirits, wine and/or beer products through on-ta-ble sales, off-sale outlets and at farmer’s markets. More businesses are cur-rently in the process of obtaining manufacturing permits.

“It was a dream of ours to take our hobby of brewing beer and turn it into an actual business,” Kari Stenson said who, along with her husband Clayton own Black Bridge Brewery in Swift Current. “It’s been a lot of hard work but the response we’ve received from customers has been outstanding. It’s a great feeling to receive so much support and encourage-ment not only from peo-ple in Swift Current but around the province.”

Black Bridge Brewery

opened for business in the fall of 2014 and cur-rently lists three prod-ucts – IPA!, Milk Stout and Centennial Rye Ale – in SLGA liquor stores. The business also sup-plies beer to a number of commercial permittees in the province and oper-ates a taproom at their new facility in Swift Current.

SLGA recently announced it would be seeking a third party to conduct a comprehensive review of the province’s craft alcohol industry. The review will look at issues like production thresholds, mark-up rates, shipping, retail distribution and the industry’s overall eco-nomic impact. An orga-nization will be chosen soon to conduct the review with a final report issued to government later this fall.
