Canada Post cuts a concern for local residentsBy SHANNON DEVEAUN-R Writer
In an effort to cut costs and stay afloat, Canada Post has announced big changes are on the horizon. While times are changing and adjustments may be needed, there are many, including local employees, who are not happy with what is being proposed. At Yorkton’s regular City Council meeting, held Monday President of the local Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), Gloria Spilak, was on hand to seek council’s support in a bid to urge Canada Post to
reconsider a plan that will see changes to delivery methods and increased postal fees. “On December 11, 2013, Canada Post announced to the Canadian public that it was going to instigate a Five Point Action Plan as the beginnings of a “new postal system,” said Spilak to council. “Canada Post did not hold meetings open to the public to discuss this new plan with their only sharehold-er, the people of Canada. The Canadian Postal Charter states that the Government of Canada is committed to ensuring trans-parency in how Canada Post provides quality postal servic-
es.” The newly announced federal plan includes: eliminating door-to-door delivery service and replacing it with community mailboxes; raising the price of stamps from 63 cents to 85 cents (if purchased in bulk) and $1 each if purchased in smaller amounts; and, contracting our postal services to franchise deal-erships. “In our experience,” says Spilak, “we see that customer business is siphoned off to the nearby private dealers. In turn, Canada Post will cut the hours and staff at the corporate offices. These service cuts will have
serious effects on communities across Canada and here in Yorkton.” It will also put the security and safety of communi-ty members at risk, she sug-gests. “The proposed community mailboxes will bring many prob-lems including theft, traffic problems, vandalism and acces-sibility problems for many of the most vulnerable in our commu-nity, our seniors and those with disabilities.” The proposed cuts will also take away good paying jobs, says Spilak, “that contribute to the Yorkton economy and pro-vide for stability in our commu-
nity.” As such, the local union group requested council write a letter to Canada Post as well as the Minister responsible for Canada Post, to demand that they do not proceed with the action plan. After some discussion, council opted to receive and file the request. The local CUPW group had previously met with MLA Greg Ottenbreit and has plans to meet with MP Garry Breitkreuz. “It’s a fight we can’t take on ourselves,” concludes Spilak who says there are other ways to generate postal revenue.
Snowarama kicks off, changes are announcedBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer
Easter Seals Snowarama has been a major event in Yorkton for 37 years. This year it is kicking off once again, but major changes are in store. There will be a new, longer route available for snowmobilers at the event. According to Barry Bradshaw, chair of Snowarama, the new route is going to be longer, and the kind of new direc-tion that a long-running event needs to stay fresh. The trail will start the same way, going to Rhein from the Gallagher Centre. Bradshaw says Rhein has been
a long time supporter of Snowarama, so they are continuing to be a big part of the event into the future. From Rhein, the route changes, now stopping at Zeke’s in Mikado for lunch. Bradshaw says it’s a fine establish-ment that wanted to get on board, so it was incentive to start thinking of a new route for the event. Riders will then travel from there to Canora, Good Spirit Lake, and finally home again. The previous, shorter route is avail-able for those who wish to take it. “Just from talking to people who have ridden in it for a few years, they say it’s great, they’re going to bring
friends along and I’m sure we’ll get more entries,” Bradshaw says. Also joining Snowarama this year is a new ambassador, Brooke Perpeluk. John Denysek, Regional Director of the Sask Abilities Council, says that they look for an ambassador who has attended the camp and is comfortable in front of a crowd. Denysek also notes that Perepeluk also has the support of her family and her school at St. Paul’s, and they are excited to have her as part of the event. Perepeluk says that Camp Easter Seals is something she looks forward to every year, and that she really
enjoys the different activities available at the camp. She says this will be the first year she attends Snowarama itself, and she is excited to be involved. Some things will remain the same. Riders will be entered to win a new sled, a 2014 Polaris. More importantly, money raised will be used to support Camp Easter Seals, the Abilities Council’s Summer Fun Program, and Adaptive Technolgies. Last year’s event raised over $140,000, and the plan is to continue that success. Snowarama 2014 takes place on February 8.
HOUSE FIRE – The home of Brad and Marilyn McLaren at 23 Sunset Drive North was the victim of an electrical malfunction last week. The fire began due to a short in an extension cord in the garage of the home, and the damage is expected to be a total loss. No people were harmed, but two dogs were rescued from the burning garage, and one cat perished in the blaze. The McLarens say that they want to express a big thank you for Yorkton Fire Protective Services members, who they say went above and beyond in their efforts to save the animals and their home.

SPIRITED PERFORMANCE – Students from the Good Spirit School Division recently got together for an annual Christmas band performance, showcasing what they have learned over the year so far. Pictured above are members of the Grade 5 band.
By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer
In Saskatchewan, nine communi-ties are receiving more than $13.6 million dollars for targeted policing initiatives. Yorkton is included in that number, and will be receiving $315,000 for community policing ini-tiatives. According to Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit, that money will be spent to continue targeted policing initia-tives, with three RCMP officers fund-ed through the program. These offi-cers will be responsible for community engagement, and are one of several approaches taken to reduce crime in the community. This targeted pro-gram began with one officer in the city, and has expanded to three as needs were identified and the pro-gram was expanded. The initiative reflects the commu-nity it’s in, Ottenbreit says, and this is directed towards crime prevention, with the officers trying to connect with students and community mem-bers in Yorkton. The program has
been a success so far, Ottenbreit says, with the community engagement being a big step in having people relate to their police force. “When you look at the engagement, when you see these police officers in the community schools and engaging with the kids, it gets to the point where some of these kids know the officers by name and have a relation-ship. They see them as authority fig-ures, but not someone to be afraid of.” While the community officers won’t reach everyone, he says it’s just one of many approaches to crime, and in this case the goal is to have a proactive approach that gives the community a relationship with their local RCMP. Other crime prevention measures will still be important, as will regular enforcement, but the hope is that this system will prevent crime in the city. Ottenbreit says that he believes it will be a big part of Saskatchewan polic-ing into the future, and has been a success elsewhere. “It’s a proven system that has worked well in other jurisdictions.”

Growing in the future...
The spirit of giving and kindness is alive and thriv-ing this holiday season and I can’t tell you how refresh-ing that is to see. Story after story I’ve been hearing – and they come at a time when there is so much hurt and destruction in the world – it can’t help but restore a little lost faith in humanity. From local happenings to those on a grander scale, people are giving back and helping out. In Saskatchewan, Mosaic just announced a million dollars to help fund the building of 63 new homes (through the Habitat for Humanity program) for fami-lies in need in Southern Saskatchewan. Westjet brought tears to hundreds of eyes last week when it unrolled it’s Christmas gesture. Two hundred and fifty customers getting set for a flight were greeted by a Santa. Each was asked what they would like most for Christmas. From socks to big screens TV’s they gave their replies, never imagining anything would come of it – UNTIL they reached the luggage carrousel at their destination. Instead of suitcases, wrapped gifts – each with a name tag – appeared. Everything the customers mentioned to Santa, they received. No doubt it’s a publicity gimmick, but to see the looks on the faces of the recipients made it a special one all the
same. Yesterday I read a “thank you” written by a woman who had been shopping in Yorkton. Filled with panic she had left her purse in a shopping cart and didn’t realize it until she reached home. Rushing back to the store, her purse was nowhere to be found. Sad and upset she returned home only to find a young
couple had been calling and searching for her, to return her purse safe and intact. Nice... Also happening locally, residents have been working together to “pay it forward.” Combining efforts until the wee hours of the morning they are gathering, sort-ing and distributing food, clothes, toys and gifts for families who would otherwise go without this Christmas. Wonderfully, these stories are just a few of too many to mention. Whether it’s a gift, a gesture, or lending a helping hand, this is the true meaning of the holiday season. Christmas isn’t about battling it out at Walmart for the gift “little Johnny” is going to toss into the closet with all the others, it’s about kindness and together-ness. It’s about appreciating what we have and sharing what we can. Remember that as the countdown begins. We can all do a small part to change lives, not just December 25, but the whole year through.

The way I see it...
Canada Post’s announcement that they are moving away from door to door delivery has been a controver-sial one, not helped by the fact that they announced a hike in rates at the same time. It was inevitable that something would happen, the crown corporation is perpetually in the red, but in their quest to save money they need to be aware that cutting service too much could effectively destroy any business that remains. The problem with the community mailbox approach is not letter mail, since that is increasingly irrelevant. On the consumer end, it’s going to hit the people who use letter mail most, namely the elderly, since those are the people less adept with technology. It’s likely the increased cost will see businesses attempting to convince more customers to go paperless for their various services, but that movement was already well underway before any changes were announced. That is also why Canada Post is losing money and felt the need to make the change, it was heavily reliant on mail traffic for revenue. The danger is instead in parcel delivery. In Canada Post’s release announcing the changes, they tout the added security of the locked mailbox for receiving parcels. On one hand, this argument does have some merit, especially in areas where people might decide
whatever is in that package in your mailbox is going to be a great thing to take home or attempt to sell in a disreputable manner. However, it’s also an approach that makes Canada Post a much less desirable service option in the one area of mail delivery that isn’t see-ing a downturn. Online shopping is big, and will remain big for the foreseeable future. While Amazon might be planning to unleash a herd of package delivery helicopter drones – that is not a joke, that is their actual plan – until that vaguely Bond villain-esque plot is finally rolled out they will still rely on different mail provid-ers to deliver stuff to homes. As well, any other online
shopping destination one can name will also continue to ship out through whatever delivery service gives them the best bang for their buck. So long as deals can be had online, or strange people like myself get the urge to buy merchandise for obscure Florida sports teams, online shopping will result in major parcel traffic. However, people will want those parcels delivered to their door. That’s sort of the point, you order your things online and they show up at your house, no need to brave the freezing temperatures to do your Christmas shopping. Some stuff is inexpensive too, but the convenience factor is huge. As a result, retail-ers are going to prioritize the companies that give customers the convenience they want, and those com-panies will be the ones delivering right to the door. What Canada Post cannot do is give those compa-nies a reason to switch to a different courier. If parcels are no longer delivered to the door, that’s enough of an incentive to switch to alternate shipping, because the last thing these retailers want to do is aggravate their convenience obsessed customers. If Canada Post can’t be the go to provider for these companies, it will be impossible to stay in business. Whatever happens with letter mail, community mailboxes won’t work for parcels.

Ten years ago who would have thought Saskatchewan would be the province it is today? But as we head into the new year – in spite of challenges – it’s clear we are on the fast track to contin-ued prosperity. According to the stats, as of October 1, there were 1,114,170 people living in Saskatchewan – an increase of 5,867 in the previ-ous three months and 19,797 over the past year. The quarterly and annual growth rates in Saskatchewan were both the sec-ond-highest among the provinc-es, behind only Alberta. Saskatchewan and Alberta were also the only two provinces to see positive net migration from other provinces in the past quarter. The west is where it’s at. Saskatchewan’s net interpro-vincial migration of 637 people came primarily from British Columbia (271), New Brunswick (105), Alberta (91) and Quebec (70). Add to that international migra-tion of 3,510 and births of 1,720. “We are now in our seventh year of strong population growth – the most sustained period of growth in Saskatchewan in quite some time,” Premier Brad Wall points out adding, he expects to see continued population and economic growth in 2014 even though provincial resource rev-enues will be down. “I expect 2014 to be a good year for our economy and our prov-ince even as we face some reve-nue challenges.” Let’s hope he is right.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, December 19, 2013 - Page 5A
To the Editor: If current polls mean any-thing, then we are headed to-ward a change of government in the next federal election. It seems Justin Trudeau can do little wrong as the leader of the Liberal Party, despite a series of embarrassing snafus and a less-than-stellar speaking record in the House of Commons. He has, it seems, the Midas touch. Or does he? It all depends on how fully you are prepared to place your faith in the research that puts the Liberals in the lead by a full 10 points over the federal Conservatives. Increasingly, that trust in the pollsters seems mis-placed. That is not to deny the Liberals’ steady surge in popularity, but rather to en-courage you not to read too much into the trend. Political polling in Canada is in the middle of a crisis after forecasts of election outcomes have consistently missed the mark, well be-yond their theoretical “mar-gins of error.” In Alberta’s last provincial election, for example, the opposition Wil-drose Party seemed poised to seize government by a land-slide – until election day, when the incumbent PCs staged an astonishing come-back. Same thing happened in B.C., where the incumbent Liberals defi ed the polls and won a majority, even as their obitu-ary was being written. Pundits explained away the apparent failure of polls in both cases by claiming there was a huge last-minute shift in voter intentions, too late to be cap-tured in the polls. The explana-tion is plausible, but then so is another one: that the pollsters just got it wrong. Some pollsters themselves are calling into question our over-reliance on the tool, even as the reliability of the polling tech-niques used is being called into question. Calgary public opinion researcher Brian Singh has spo-ken openly about this trend, not-
ing there is a rise on “software-based polling methods.” By that, he means online polling using Internet panels of self-selected respondents (the net effect is that recruiting is not truly ran-dom). He also points to so-called “robocalls”, i.e. the computer-based calling system that keeps dialing until it fi nds someone who will accept the call. That also introduces a potential bias into the results.
“Gone,” Singh says, “are the days of excellent response rates to telephone polls.” Many of you already know this. You will have gotten “the phone call” – a call from an auto-dialer that maddeningly makes you wait for several seconds before you hear a human voice. Think about it: If the basis of reliable sampling is random selection, the autodialer is immediately bi-ased – only the most patient, or people with a lot of time to spare, will wait to take that call and ac-tually answer the question. Of course, if you do talk to a human being, it’s notable that many of the employees of these fi rms seem not to be very well
trained at their jobs. Serious pollsters will tell you that polling is not about watch-ing the horse race, even though that is how it ends up playing out in the news media. In any election, the only “news” on some days is how the numbers are trending. The problem is that a trend is not the same as a fact – one week’s surge by any party does not mean it will be in the lead on election day. It’s
fair to ask, as well, whether voter behaviour whipsaws back and forth, as engaged citizens react to whatever party appears to be in the lead. This fuels the shift to “strategic voting” – for ex-ample, voting for a candidate you don’t actually like in an attempt to infl uence the pro-vincial or national outcome. Equally troubling for poll-sters is how the gap between what people say they will do and what they actually end up doing is becoming increasingly disconnected. They may tell a faceless call-er they intend to vote NDP, for example, but end up mak-ing a different decision at the ballot box. There’s no easy solution for pollsters, but for the pub-lic the answer is relatively straightforward. Take any poll with a massive grain of salt, and, when the result seems out of step, ask your-self whether this is a fl uke or
just bad methodology. And, fi nally, there’s noth-ing like having your ear to the ground to get the real story. That means at the doorstep and in the coffee shops, and also what’s be-ing said in the blogosphere. Ev-ery astute politician today has an advanced social media pres-ence, not just to infl uence follow-ers, but also to monitor what is being said. Remember the true purpose of some of those headline-grabbing polls – sheer entertainment. How much their fi ndings resem-ble reality is an open question.

To the Editor:
To Stephen Harper, nothing is more impor-tant than slashing the size and -- wherever possible -- the very existence of the Govern-ment of Canada. There is no higher purpose, no greater priority. All government is bad, according to his ideology, so the less of it, the better. That’s why the Harper regime is curtailing federal engagement in health care, restricting old age security and trying to block any up-grading of the Canada Pension Plan. They’re also closing trade and immigration offi ces, cutting back on RCMP training, neglecting vital responsibilities for food safety and en-vironmental protection, and dumping federal assets like PFRA community pastures and the historic prairie tree-farm in Saskatchewan. The list of ways in which Mr. Harper is evis-cerating the Government of Canada goes on and on. One is hungry kids in poor families. Ministers in the Harper Cabinet last week tried to wash their hands of the searing sta-tistic that one-child-in-seven in Canada lives in poverty and goes to school everyday on an empty stomach. The Conservatives say that’s too bad, but it’s not their problem -- despite two resolutions in Parliament in recent years calling for national action and federal leader-ship to tackle child poverty. An illustration of what’s wrong is the tax credit system which Mr. Harper frequently brags about. It’s structured in such a way that low income families are not eligible for any benefi ts. That’s perverse. Those is great-est need are left out. Another case deserving universal condemnation is this government’s neglect of Canadian Forces personnel wound-ed, either physically or psychologically, on active military service. Whether that service was 70 years ago in WW2 or just this past decade in Afghanistan, Canada owes a debt of national responsibility to the courageous men and women who were ordered into harm’s way in dangerous the-atres of war around the globe. But recently we’ve witnessed the sad spectacle of elderly Veterans holding public demonstrations to protest the Harper government’s closure of Veterans’ Affairs offi ces and the under-fund-ing of a broad range of services, including ad-equate support for dignifi ed funerals. Older Vets had to fi ght this government in Court for six long years to fend-off a claw-back of their pension benefi ts, and Mr. Harper is again in Court right today arguing that his govern-ment owes Veterans “no special duty”. The plight of more recent soldiers is no bet-ter. There have been appalling examples of Forces personnel being released from mili-tary service just before they could qualify for their pension. And worse still are the im-plications of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which appears to have claimed at least four lives through suicide within the past month. Even former Chief of Defence Staff Rick Hillier has sounded an alarm, saying “... many young men and women have lost confi dence in our country to support them.” He’s call-ing for a public inquiry into what’s needed to deal with mental health issues in the military, and for major improvements in pensions and other services. Like dealing adequately with child pov-erty, the proper respectful treatment of Vet-erans and wounded soldiers will require a pro-active federal government willing to ac-knowledge its obligations, show leadership and make some investments in intelligent so-lutions. There’s simply no room for poor kids and wounded warriors in Mr. Harper’s Canada.

To the Editor:
Premier Wall has his dander up. He is not pleased there will be job losses at Potash Corp. I agree with the Premier on that point, every worker needs a de-cent pay cheque. But the Premier is contradict-ing himself. Is it true Mr. Pre-mier your government has an-
nounced the plan for privatizing health care laundry services in Saskatchewan? Why would we allow bunch of dedicated public service employ-ees (in this case mostly women) to be booted out the door and Saskatchewan taxpayer dollars to be shipped to Alberta? Premier Wall and his govern-ment seem to want to go to war
with some of the workers in our province, while publicly support-ing others. Come clean Mr. Premier, tell the people exactly what is your plan for the public service in Saskatchewan.
Henry Neufeld,Waldeck, Sk.
What is the real plan for Sask. public service?
To the Editor:
The Green Party of Saskatchewan (GPS) is very unhappy that 2013 is quickly drawing to a close on a sour note. The Wall Government is al-lowing the province’s Affordable Housing Cri-sis to continue escalat-ing. The latest example of an entire apartment building full of renters being evicted in Regina with two months notice is making the crisis even worse. Christmas and Hanukah are just around the corner. Where are these peo-ple and others like them supposed to go? There
is almost nowhere for these individuals in Re-gina to rent from. It’s time for the Wall Gov-ernment to take action to remedy this crisis: • Encourage munici-palities to make it eas-ier to zone neighbour-hoods for mobile homes and other portable
forms of housing, • Give more power to the Offi ce of Residential Tenancies (the Rental-sman) to protect rent-ers from being evicted during winter months, • And if needed, the government itself should build more rent-al housing units that
can be sold to low in-come individuals at an affordable cost. The solutions that our party is putting for-ward may not be per-fect, but our ideas beat doing nothing at all, which is exactly what the Saskatchewan Par-ty Government is do-ing. Hopefully Premier Wall will spread some early Christmas cheer by taking the GPS’ recommended actions seriously and end this housing crisis immedi-ately.
Victor Lau, Leader of the GPS, Regina, SK.
Housing problem needs solving now
“Equally troubling for pollsters is how the gap
between what people say they will do and
what they actually end up doing is becoming
increasingly disconnected. They may tell a
faceless caller they intend to vote NDP, for
example, but end up making a different
decision at the ballot box.”
“Hopefully Premier Wall will spread some early Christmas
cheer by taking the GPS’ recommended actions seriously
and end this housing crisis immediately.”
Our government has three main priorities on public safety: First, we will work to hold offenders accountable for their actions. Second, we will put vic-tims first, and third, we will reform the jus-tice system to work fairly and efficiently. We have already passed important legis-lation to deliver on our commitments to Canadians to keep our streets and communi-ties safe. Our job is not finished. More action is planned on several fronts – and one is the way our justice system handles serious violent crimes committed by people found Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) for an offence. You’ve all heard the news stories – someone found Not Criminally Responsible by the courts for a crime com-mitted is released back into the streets after a few short years – only to traumatize victims or re-offend. Unfor-tunately, Canada’s cur-rent law allows that. After release, people found NCR are legally free to live anywhere, even in the same com-munities as their vic-tims or victims’ fami-lies. There is no warn-ing or protection to keep victims and other law-abiding Canadians safe. This gap in the justice system must be addressed. That’s why I’m pleased that the Government of Canada is reinstating the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act. The pro-posed legislation is part of our plan for safe streets and communi-ties. It contains several common-sense mea-sures to better protect Canadians in situa-tions where offenders are found NCR. Our bill will consider public safety as para-mount in the decision-making process relat-
ing to offenders found NCR. This is a vital change for the protec-tion of society. It also follows the spirit of put-ting the rights of vic-tims and law-abiding Canadians first. Under current legis-lation, review boards can release an NCR offender. Our proposed legislation would cre-ate a new designation, enabling a court to des-ignate such a person as high-risk. This new designation would pro-tect the public by pre-venting the release of high-risk individuals without review by a court. It would also prohibit the practice of unescorted day passes. Victims too, would be protected under our proposed legislation. We would require that victims be notified when an NCR offender is released. We would allow non-communica-tion orders to be imposed, to prevent an offender from contact-ing his or her victims. We would also provide victims with informa-tion regarding the intended place of resi-dence of the accused. Nothing in this bill would deny access to treatment. Detained individuals will be held in secure mental health facilities, not prisons, and as now, given prop-er medical treatment. Better addressing situations where offenders are found NCR is an important part of our govern-ment’s process of build-ing on past measures to keep our streets and
communities safe. We are already targeting organized crime, sexual offences against youth
and serious white col-lar crime. We passed those measures despite obstruction by the opposition. Stronger, more meaningful sen-tences will help keep offenders out of our communities and bet-ter protect law-abiding Canadians. Canadians deserve to know that the justice system is there to pro-tect them. Our govern-ment is committed to making this happen.

January is “In Motion Month” in Yorkton and it’s the city’s hope residents will take the opportunity to get out and get active. Saskatchewan In Mo-tion is a province-wide movement aimed at in-creasing physical activ-ity for health, social, eco-nomic and environmental benefi ts,” said local Com-munity Development Man-
ager Lisa Washington to council in a presentation Monday evening. “Simply put, it encourages people to move more!” Promoting the benefi ts of physical activity is one thing, says Washington, but actually getting people active is another. “And what better time to support and encourage people... than January
when New Year’s resolu-tions are discussed...” Rather than just talk, the city is offering a num-ber of free activities that all residents can take ad-vantage of. They include: • free walking track at the Gloria Hayden from Jan. 2-31; • free walking at the Gallagher (Jan. 2-31); • a “Wallyball League”
strating Jan. 6 at the Glo-ria Hayden; • squash and racquet-ball at the Gloria Hayden; • free public skating at the Kinsmen and Farrell Agencies arenas Sunday evenings; • swim specials at the Gallagher Centre;
• Yoga at the Gallagh-er; • Toboggan Hills at Knights of Columbus Park, Rodney Ridge, Weinmaster and Heritage Heights Parks; • Outdoor rinks at Knights of Columbus, Sil-ver Heights, Weinmaster
and Heritage Parks; • Cross Country Skii-ing. Washington also re-minds there is a sports bank for those needing skates, hockey and other sport equipment. Learn more by visiting: www.yorkton.ca.

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation is calling for reduced allo-cation for white-tailed deer this hunting sea-son. Heath Dreger, Yorkton Wildlife Federation president, says a tough winter in 2012 is causing signifi-cant reductions in the populations. Winter conditions last year caused a sig-nificant impact on deer population, with some estimates at 50 per cent lower than previous year. As a result of that, the Wildlife Federation believes it’s important to cut allocations in order to allow the popu-lation to rebound. Wherever the actual cap was set, the actual sales have been down significantly. Minister of the Environment Ken Chevaldayoff says this year has seen a significant drop off in the number of tags sold. Sales to residents out-side of Saskatchewan were 4,381, but were capped at 4,000 this year. Actual sales, how-ever, were 2,976. Sales to residents within the province were also down, with total alloca-tions going from 54,724 in 2012 to 48,602 2013.
The allocations avail-able are based on sev-eral factors , Chevaldayoff says. Those include recom-mendations from biolo-gists, members of the legislature from around the province and also Crop Insurance on damage to crops and SGI on vehicle colli-sions. Dreger says that including groups like Crop Insurance and SGI in the consulta-tions is not in the best interest of either deer or the people who want to hunt. He says that the only priority in the allocation should be the opinion of biologists, since the goal should be to ensure a healthy herd into the distant future. “We want the govern-ment to use science as a tool to base their allo-cations.” The big concern for Dreger is what will happen if 2013 is as hard on the deer popu-lations as the previous year, and he says that by taking commerce into account, it could be dangerous for the deer themselves. “If we have another hard winter, it could be devastating to the herd... They’re trying to act within the public interest, but that means
if they’re going to make a buck, they’re going to.” Chevaldayoff says that those numbers are taken into account due
to the impact collisions and lost crop have on people in the province, and that he takes the decision for the annual allocation seriously.
Wildlife federation calls for reduced deer allocations
The Community Initiatives Fund (CIF) recently announced the approval of 226 grants totaling $3,981,021 in support of enhanced qual-ity of life for Saskatchewan residents, including many in the Yorkton area. The CIF’s programs contribute to individual, family and community wellbeing through grants for childhood develop-ment, positive life choic-es, active living, commu-nity celebrations and facility upgrades and vol-unteerism. Through its Community Grant Program, the CIF approved 102 grants totaling $1,596,7765 in support of the wellbeing and health of Saskatchewan’s children and youth, families and communities. Grant approvals through the Community Vitality Program total $1,309,731 with 104 grants to help improve community facil-ities or support signifi-cant milestones and cul-tural community celebra-tions. The CIF also approved 20 grants total-ing $1,074,525 through its Physical Activity Grant Program to encour-age increased physical activity among Saskatchewan residents. In addition to the grants, the CIF today announced programming changes that are designed to simplify access to its funding and better align its programming with the needs and priorities of Saskatchewan communi-ties. The CIF’s Community Grant Program will be broad-ened to accommodate physical activity and problem gambling pre-vention initiatives, sup-
port of nonprofits, youth engagement and leader-ship development, and community cultural and milestone celebrations. The program will contin-ue to help support healthy development of children and youth, community inclusiveness and acces-sibility, and positive life choices. It will include aspects of the CIF’s for-mer Physical Activity, Community Vitality (Pride Project and Events), Urban Aboriginal, and Problem Gambling Prevention Programs. Small capital projects such as energy efficien-cies or community facility upgrades will be support-ed through the new, two-year Community Places and Spaces Program, replacing the Community Vitality Program. A com-munity facility may be a rink, hall, arena, outdoor playground or ball dia-mond, or other commu-nity meeting places. Both programs become effec-tive April 1, 2014. “With these improve-ments, the Community Initiatives Fund will con-tinue to support Saskatchewan communi-ties and contribute to the health and wellbeing of children, youth and fami-lies,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty says. “Since its inception, the CIF has provided grants to com-munities, organizations and programs that have been enhancing the qual-ity of life we enjoy here in Saskatchewan.” “We’re pleased to be able to continue our con-tributions to an enhanced quality of life for Saskatchewan people,” adds Tracey Mann, exec-
utive director of the Community Initiatives Fund. “And we’re excited that through our new programming, the CIF will more directly align
its grants to respond to the current needs of Saskatchewan communi-ties.” The CIF is a Special Purpose Fund created
through the Sask-atchewan Gaming Corporation Act and gov-erned by a volunteer board appointed through the Ministry of Parks,
Culture and Sport. Grant recipients, their projects, and more infor-mation about CIf’s new programming is at www.cifsask.org.
Safety will come fi rst if the province’s rules have anything to do with it. Mike Molnar, owner and operator of a privately owned roofi ng company in Yorkton recently plead guilty to one charge under The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996. As a result, Molnar was fi ned $23,800 in Yorkton Provincial Court on December 4. The local contractor plead guilty to contravening section 17(1)(a) of the regulations (failure to ensure that all work at a place of employment was suffi -ciently and competently supervised resulting in the death of a worker). Four other charges against Molnar were stayed in court. On January 12, 2012, a worker employed by Mol-nar fell from a ladder while trying to get onto a roof. The employee died on January 13, 2012 due to inju-ries sustained in the fall. Occupational Health and Safety conducts approxi-mately 4,000 worksite inspections annually to en-sure standards are known, understood and enforced. Last year, 33 per cent of all inspections were in the construction industry.

The City of Yorkton’s Logan Green Water Management System has won a Utility Excellence Award for Innovative Tech-nologies in the medium/small utility category. The award was pre-sented to Environ-mental Services Director Michael Buchholzer by the Canadian Water & Wastewater Association (CWWA) in Ottawa last week. “This marks the fifth award received this year by Yorkton’s new Water Treatment Plant and the Logan Green Water Management System, an outstanding achievement,” com-ments Mayor Bob Maloney. Awards to date have included: the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Sustain-able Communities Award; the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators Willis Award for Innovation; the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan Environ-mental Excellence Award; and a Sask-atchewan Municipal Award for Innovation. The CWWA awards highlight the accom-plishments members are making in their communities. Water and wastewater utili-ties perform a vital ser-vice, protecting both human health and the environment, and the awards offer peer rec-ognition of these efforts. The CWWA was established in 1986 to represent the common interest of Canada’s municipal water and wastewater systems to federal and interpro-vincial bodies with respect to policies, pro-grams, national codes, standards, and legisla-tion. To learn more about the CWWA visit: www.cwwa.ca.

Submitted by the Yorkton Habitat for Humanity group
As humans, we have needs. Some of the fundamental needs are food, shelter, clothing, com-panionship and cultural and spiritual engagement. It has been proven that people whose needs are not met become mar-ginalized, at risk of antagonist behaviours or not able to achieve their full potential. Thankfully, most people in Saskatchewan have their needs met. However, there are people in our communities whose needs are not met leav-ing them distressed or discon-nected. Habitat for Humanity has a vision of a world where every-
one has a safe and decent place to live. The organization has estab-lished to fulfil their vision by mobilizing volunteers and com-munity partners in building affordable housing, promoting home ownership. In Yorkton, to date, Habitat for Humanity has completed four projects and is engaged in one more. Every Habitat for Humanity build needs to be funded. The Government of Saskatchewan is a partner and does contrib-ute $50,000 per home build in Saskatchewan. The remainder of the costs to build a Habitat Home must be funded by local donations and volunteer labour.
Currently, Saskatchewan’s first ever build of a Habitat Home by the faith community, is underway, and led by the Yorkton Ministerial Association. In order to fund the Habitat for Humanity Faith Build project, through to completion, finances must be raised. One event The Yorkton Ministerial Association has planned to raise funds for the Yorkton Habitat for Humanity Faith Build is a musical drama, His Promise. This production will be performed by local Saskatchewan talent in March 2014. The presentation features a ‘Family Group’ that provides central narration: a grandfa-
ther, grand-daughter, and grandson. The family is out for an evening walk in the coun-try-side while the children’s mother is preparing to give birth to the newest member of their family. Their conversa-tion turns to babies and the promise embodied in a new life, and in turn, to the story of the Greatest Baby Ever Born, our Lord and Saviour – the Lord Jesus Christ and his Promise of the Ages. There will be five perfor-mances at the Anne Portnuff Theatre in Yorkton March 6-9, 2014. A Facebook group can be followed by searching ‘Yorkton Project 3:16’. Tickets for the production His Promise are on sale now –
in time to give for Christmas gifts. To purchase tickets for the performance in March 2014 and support Saskatchewan’s first ever Habitat for Humanity Faith Build, visit: • The Golden Rule • Sherring Optical • LR Futures Tickets costs for adults are $20.00 and students $10.00 Additionally, the production is seeking more singers and will call for auditions in the New Year. For more information about the Faith Build contact Dennis at 306-621-5113. For more information about the His Promise production to support the Faith Build, contact Ingrid at 306-641-6388.

An unsatisfying visit to a franchise restaurant, and the expectation of the New Year’s Eve celebra-tion, has compelled me to write this column on nachos. With fierce com-petition in the restaurant industry, it surprises me that there are any menu options that lack flavour, let alone something as simple as nachos. For approximately ten dollars (plus the cost of adding chicken or beef) I was presented with a mediocre sized plate of bland nachos. The pre-sentation was great as it offered many colours to please the eye, but fla-vour was very scarce. There was nothing special about them. One would like to assume that res-taurant owners/managers actually taste their wares and make efforts to offer the most superior product within their means and food cost budget. Flavour comes from a variety of ingredients that will produce a complex complimentary taste in the final product. First, let’s discuss seasoning. The chips weren’t even seasoned - not even a light dusting of salt. This gave the impression that the nachos were made with pieces of crispy cardboard.
The so-called “spicy chick-en” that accompanied the toppings was even bland. Seasoning is very crucial. For example, if one was consuming tomato slices, chances are they would be lightly seasoned with salt and pepper to help enhance the natural tomato flavour. When preparing nachos for the crowd at New Year’s Eve, make sure to use a number of toppings to add depth of flavour. I recommend starting with salted tortilla chips that are thick enough to sup-port a number of toppings and inhibit sogginess. Rather than placing all of the ingredients on top the nachos, build three or four layers of chips, cheese, and toppings. This ensures that toppings are in abundance throughout the dish, and no one is left with plain chips once the top has been consumed. One can use an array of ingredients, but I recom-mend the following: aged cheddar cheese, beef or chicken cooked with blackening spice or taco seasoning, fresh diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, green onions, and jalapenos. Furthermore season each layer with a sprinkling of salt, pepper, and chili powder. The
additional seasoning will guarantee the full taste of the toppings will be prom-inent. Make a habit of being selective with ingredients in any recipe you prepare and you will have a more superior tasting product. For example, instead of using mild cheddar cheese, use extra-old aged cheddar – the taste will be more prevalent throughout. For the other topping suggestions, make sure you use “fresh” whenever possible. Serve with side dishes of sour cream, fresh salsa, and homemade guacamo-
le for the perfect accom-paniments and you will have everybody raving about your celebratory fare. All the best to you in 2014!
Dear Chef Dez: Is it just me, or do you find that jalapeno pep-pers aren’t as hot as they used to be?
John M.Chilliwack, BC
Dear John: You are absolutely right. When I was a teen-ager, it was considered
daring to order these fiery green rings on nachos, and downing three or four slices was a feat in itself. I won’t reveal how long ago that was, but the demand for these peppers have grown considerably over the years. Through some investigation, I learned that in many instances they are now cultivated to be milder. This is done to expand the appeal of this pepper to a larger consumer market and thus increase sales
even further. Send your food/cook-ing questions to [email protected] or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, BC V2T 6R4 Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cooking Show Performer. Visit him at www.chefdez.com The next “Chef Dez on Cooking” column will appear approximately January 3/14.

Following the recent announcement of changes to the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) application deadline, Yorkton/Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz is advis-ing local employers who plan to utilize the program of a deadline extension for those applying for wage subsidies in 2014. The deadline for CSJ has changed and is earlier than in previous years. Applications are now online and must be submitted by January 31, 2014. The previous deadline was January 10, 2014. These new timelines mean that success-ful employers will be notified sooner and have more time to recruit students. “Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) is an initiative that helps students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, now and in the future, while earning money for the upcoming school year,” says Breitkreuz. “It also helps employers create much needed summer job opportunities for students, while strengthening local economies and com-munities across Canada.” Those eligible to apply for wage subsi-dies under CSJ funding include not-for-
profit and public-sector employers and small private-sector employers. Private-sector employers must have 50 or fewer full-time employees across Canada to be eligible. Full-time employees are those working 30 hours or more per week with the employer. Eligible students must be: • between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of employment; • have been registered as full-time students in the previous academic year and intend to return to school on a full-time basis in the next academic year; • be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee pro-tection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act; and, • be legally entitled to work in Canada in accordance with relevant provincial/territorial legislation and regulations. More information regarding Canada Summer Jobs can be found at the Service Canada website: www.servicecanada.gc.ca. Online applications are now avail-able and will be accepted until January 31, 2014.
Job deadline extended
Saskatchewan.ca makes debut The Government of Saskatchewan says its new website, Saskatch-ewan.ca will improve ac-cess to information and services for residents as well as those considering visiting or moving to the province. The previous Saskatch-ewan government website at gov.sk.ca was created in 2006, before tablets and smart phones were commonly used. It has since grown to more than 400,000 pages of content and its size and complex-ity make it hard to fi nd information and services. Research with Sas-katchewan people found that grouping informa-tion by related topics un-
der the headings “Live,” “Work,” “Play” and “Gov-ernment” will make the new website more user friendly, as it will be or-ganized by Saskatchewan people’s interests rather than by government min-istries. This change also refl ects what Saskatch-ewan has to offer visitors, potential investors and people considering mov-ing to Saskatchewan. The new website uses analyt-ics to track and promote frequently visited pages like the Highway Hotline, saskjobs.ca or where to fi nd day care so the most sought after information can be highlighted and kept current. The $1 mil-lion cost of the project
came from existing gov-ernment website and IT budgets. The web project includ-ed planning for the new digital program, gather-ing citizen feedback into their wants and needs, selection and implemen-tation of a new content management system, reviewing more than 400,000 pages of content on the current website, design for the new site in-cluding a more accessible and mobile-friendly site; build of the new website and testing of the new site. Both gov.sk.ca and Sas-katchewan.ca will oper-ate until the transition is complete.

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting set-tled in Hazel Dell. I obviously have to be very careful around my wife, as it appears that she might be stronger than I think! We decided to change the oil and filter on the tractor a couple of days ago, to be ready for win-ter. As she is shorter than me and therefore closer to the ground, she “volunteered” to crawl under the tractor to undo the drain plug and take the cover plate off the filter housing. She kept mumbling to herself: “righty tighty – lefty loosey,” but she still got it wrong! Probably because she looked at the drain plug before she turned on to her back. Oh well, after a bit of struggling she realized her error and changed directions. The plug was stubborn, but she put a snipe on the ratchet handle and got it off. The cover panel for the filter came off without any prob-lems. With all the oil drained, she screwed the drain plug back in, changed the oil filter and O-ring, and pro-ceeded to screwing the cover panel back on. There are four little nuts (the metal kind, not the human kind) that has to be screwed on to four little bolts. And that’s the nuts and bolts of it! Marion decided that she was going to make sure that the nuts were on tight, so she added a snipe to the wrench for leverage. It worked well on the first three nuts, but while reefing on the last one, she sheared the bolt right off! I said: “Uffda!” And added a few other spe-cial Norwegian words saved for occasions like this. “Wow,” I said to Marion, “I don’t think that I will arm wrestle you any time soon!”
Now we have to get a bolt extractor and screw in a new bolt. That should be good for another light hearted story! Getting ready for winter reminded me of the old ant and grass-hopper story. Here are two differ-ent versions! Two dif-ferent morals! OLD ORIGINAL VERSION: The ant works hard in the with-ering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. The moral of the story: Be responsible for your-self! MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shiv-ering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others like him are cold and starving. CBC, CTV, and Global show up to pro-vide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. Canadians are stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in our country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on W5 with the grasshopper and every-body cries when they sing: “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” A famous Canadian social activ-ist stages a demonstra-
tion with Kermit the Frog and the grasshop-per in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall over-come.” The activist then urges Canadians to write their MLA for the grasshopper’s sake. The activist exclaims in an interview with a television talk show host, that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both the activist and the talk show host call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the Federal Government of the day enacts the Economic Equity and Ant-Grasshopper Act retro-active to the beginning of the summer. The ant is heavily fined for fail-ing to hire a proportion-ate number of green bugs and, having noth-ing left to pay his retro-active taxes, his home is confiscated by the tax man. The prominent social activist hires a law firm
to represent the grass-hopper in a civil suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a jury that has been selected from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant, who is representing himself as he has been stripped of his wealth and cannot afford to hire a lawyer, loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper fin-ishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just hap-pens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now aban-doned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood. The moral of the story is: Stay away from grasshoppers, social activists and politi-cians!

BRETT BOEHM was the SJHL’s top rookie goal scorer for the Flin Flon Bombers in 2012/13, scoring 25 goals while helping theBombers make the North Division playoffs. Last Thursday, the Terriers acquired Boehm from the Bombers for Dalton Menke.
By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer
With injuries to veteran forwards mounting and the lack of a true high end goal-scorer since Jeremy John-son’s junior career came to an end last season, the Yorkton Terriers made a move that stirred up the SJHL late last week when they acquired Brett Boehm from the Flin Flon Bombers for forward Dalton Menke and futures prior to their pre-Christmas slate against the Estevan Bruins and Notre Dame Hounds. Looking to help ease the absence of Tyler Giebel, who has been injured for much of the season after a solid 2012/13 season and playoff run had him tabbed as the Terriers scoring leader this season, the Terriers opted to go for Boehm who was ranked by NHL Central Scouting with a late round C rating and was given a scholarship to NCAA D-I University of Minnesota Duluth after taking the SJHL by storm in a sensa-
tional rookie season with the Bombers in 2013. Boehm, who scored 25 goals with the Bombers in his rookie season did not dis-appoint in his fi rst appear-ance at the Farrell Agen-cies Arena on Friday night when the Terriers faced the Estevan Bruins. Put on the Terriers top line with top assist man Tayler Thomp-son, Boehm went quickly to work, showing the Terriers what he could bring to the table with a powerplay goal to open the scoring against the Bruins. The goal was Boehm’s 11th of the SJHL season. The new Terrier added an assist on a Kailum Ger-vais goal to give the Ter-riers their second score of the night, but in the end Boehm’s debut was spoiled by former Yorkton Harvest forward Ben Johnstone who scored two third period goals to force overtime and stun the FAA crowd. In overtime the Bruins would complete the come-back that was spurred on by the former Harvest man in
Johnstone as Tanner Froese fi nished a breakaway op-portunity to give the Bruins a 4-3 overtime win, handing the Terriers a rare home loss in their fi nal regular season meeting with their Viterra Division rivals. The Terriers lost despite outshooting the Bruins 38-23 as Kale Thomson allowed his highest goal total at the Farrell Agencies in Decem-ber after seemingly racking up shutout after shutout for the hometown crowd as of late. On Saturday with backup Riley Medves in goal the Terriers travelled to Wilcox to take on the Notre Dame Hounds for the fi rst time in the 2013/14 season. For the opening two periods the Terriers were neck and neck with the Hounds before the wear and tear of playing on back to back nights ap-peared to creep in as after a 3-3 score heading into the third, the Hounds scored three unanswered in the fi -nal period to sink the Ter-riers and hand them their third straight loss.
Cortlan Procter, Brayden Schmidt, and Dylan Baer scored the goals for the Ter-riers while Notre Dame’s Sam Aulie scored two goals for the Hounds in the win to register his 12th and 13th goals of the season. Ri-ley Medves made 21 saves in the loss facing 26 shots while Hounds goal Brett Soles stopped 31 out of 34 shots on goal in the win for Notre Dame. After three straight loss-es the Terriers would face the Hounds for the second straight time on Tuesday as they wrapped up a home and away series with the Hounds before the SJHL’s Christmas break. Trying to avoid a losing streak and fi nish the pre-Christmas schedule with the league’s best record, the Terri-ers needed a win over the Hounds to go home for the holidays on a high note. Af-ter a 6-3 loss, the Terriers came out with a mission to respond with a much better effort on Tuesday.

Heading into the final weekend before Christmas, the Sacred Heart Saints and Yorkton Regional High School Raiders basket-ball seasons were going in similar directions heading into their Friday afternoon clash at Sacred Heart’s “Halo Dome” in the second installment of the Gladstone Battle for the 2013/14 high school basketball season. After the two schools played each other in the Melville Compre-hen sive School Invitational in a game in which the Raiders won 53-31 in the tour-nament championship, both schools went 1-2 in respective tourna-ments in their second weekends of the sea-son. Sacred going 1-2 in Caronport and the Raiders going 1-2 in the much more difficult Centennial Chargers Charity Classic in Saskatoon in which the young Raiders lost to 5A hosts Centennial in front of their student body and defending provincial runners up for two seasons in a row in Moose Jaw Central in the B Side final while the Saints lost to Birch Hills and Indian Head, beating hosts Caronport before also losing in the B Side final. On Friday afternoon
both teams knew that a win would earn some slight momentum head-ing into the Christmas break, which led to a hardfought defensive battle at Sacred Heart between the two in-city rivals. A low scoring game was set early as the two teams struggled to find baskets with the Saints size and length wide frontcourt players Carter Ruff, David Ojo and Jaedon Pellatt giv-ing the Raiders strug-gles inside of the paint while the YRHS half-court trap challenged the raw Saints press break throughout the game. That press allowed enough turnovers late in the first quarter to put the Raiders up 13-8 at the break on some transition buckets from guards Alex Popoff and Ryan Krochak. After the Raiders convincing win in the previous game it appeared that the late run could be the start of another double digit Raiders win, but after Garret Betker’s buzzer beating three pointer to end the quarter the Saints responded to being down just two scores after one quarter with an impressive sec-ond quarter effort to go into halftime with the score 22-18 in favour of the Raiders. The Saints came out of halftime continuing to play strong basket-ball thanks to the con-
tributions of Ojo, Ruff and Pellatt and 42 per cent shoot-ing from three point distance, threatening the Raiders who kept the Saints at a distance on a clutch late third quarter layup and the foul from rookie point guard Nick Payne that ended the quar-ter with the Raiders up 37-32 as the vis-itors looked to continue their lengthy winning streak over their rivals that was two seasons long heading into Friday. With the Saints losing their big man in Ojo, whose presence and shot blocks in addition to rebounding kept the Raiders from using their size and depth to wear out Sacred with eight points, 14 rebounds and six blocked shots in just over half a game was a huge factor in the Saints sticking into the game, the YRHS began to make their run early in the fourth quarter. Keeping their lead, the Raiders were up six points with under five minutes left holding a 46-40 lead after Payne
split a pair of free throws, but senior lead-ers in Ruff and Pellatt responded by putting the Saints on their backs with the deficit up to six. Ruff responded imme-diately by showing poise on a highlight reel finger roll layup to put Sacred within four
as the Saints defense refused to allow the Raiders to score for the final stretches of the fourth quarter allowing the YRHS to score just eight points in the final quarter despite the Raiders using a full rotation and the Saints being down their point guard in Betker and the injured Ojo. That effort saw the Saints force overtime where their hot shoot-ing continued as Ruff and Pellatt hit clutch shots in 19 point per-formances from both players, including a bank shot from down-
town by Pellatt to push the Saints within five with just over a minute left. The Raiders battled back to get the ball on the final possession, but the Saints found a way to get one more stop to secure what could be considered an early season upset based on the paths of the two programs in recent years. Both schools wound up 2-1 in the round robin Sacred, missing Ojo and Pellat losing to Kinistino while beating MCS.
Saints earn revenge over Raiders in overtime thriller

Eight Yorkton Speed Swim Club members competed at the 2nd Annual Prairie Cup Meet this past weekend. The meet was moved from the Lawson Aquatic Centre in Regina to the Shaw Centre in Saskatoon after a Health Advisory was put into place at the Regina Pool. According to Swim Club Co-President, Michele Haczkewicz the advisory is in effect due to air quality issues in the building. This was the biggest meet of the season for the Yorkton Club. It featured the top swimmers from across the province. Yorkton’s own, Jennifer Haczkewicz (14) continued where she left off at the last meet. Haczkewicz captured a silver medal in the 50m Backstroke, and a bronze medal in the 50m Freestyle. Having wrapped up “AA” times in her usual sprint distances, Jen was
entered in some longer races at this meet. “The longer distances were meant to challenge her, and she didn’t let us down,” said Head Coach Ashley Benko. Haczkewicz also placed 4th in the 400m Freestyle, 200m Backstroke, 100m Freestyle, and 5th in the 200m Freestyle. Jacob Baker (13) qualified for the final in the 100m Butterfly and 100m Breaststroke. Shea Guest (9), who won the Storm Chaser Award for the biggest improvement at the last swim meet qualified for the final in the 50m Freestyle. Benko added, “Having three Yorkton swimmers make the finals in this meet with over 350 swim-mers in attendance is huge for our club.” There were lots of great per-formances turned in by those in attendance. The Storm Chaser Award for the biggest improve-ment on average at the meet was Jennifer Haczkewicz who improved an average of 6.67 sec-
onds over her eight races. She narrowly edged out Auston Roberts (13) who improved an average of 5.80 seconds. He had a massive 22.7 second improve-ment in the 100m Backstroke. Baker was third in line for the Storm Chaser Award with an average improvement of 4.59 seconds. Jacob had a huge improvement in the 200m Individual Medley race of 30.5 seconds. Randi Jones (12) who was racing at her first out of town competition took 12.5 sec-onds off in her 100m Freestyle. Ella Kozak (8) took 18.5 seconds off in her 100m Freestyle. According to Benko, “Kozak (8), Guest (9), and Matlyn Bulych (8) are fast becoming the clubs version of the “Three Musketeers.” These young ladies are showing steady improve-ment and are going to growing into sensational swimmers.” The next meet for the Yorkton Speed Swimmers will be January 31-February 2 in Minot, North Dakota.
GLADSTONE BATTLE. The Sacred Heart Saints earned their first victory over the YRHS Raiders in two seasons when they toppled the Raiders in overtime 55-54 in a low scoring defen-sive battle. Sacred lost to Kinistino Saturday to finish 2-1 as both schools beat MCS and theRaiders finished the weekend by defeating Kinistino.

For the second straight home game it would be the Terriers new addition that got the game’s opening goal, scoring once again on an assist from his new center in Tayler Thompson to put the Terriers up 1-0 heading into the second period. It would prove to be the game winner as Kale Thomson was on his way to a 25 save shut-
out, but the Terriers were not done scoring as they got all of the offense they wanted before heading home for Christmas break after a slow start in the first period. Goals from Tyson Enzie, Dylan Johnson and captain Devon McMullen put the Terriers up 4-0 heading into the third period, but the Terriers were not done there as the new addition and the
captain put the cherry on top of a dominating performance before the Terriers players and coaching staff returned home for the holidays. Picking up the puck in the neutral zone, Boehm went on an indi-vidual run to the faceoff circle, deking out Hounds defenseman Matt Sefton before unleashing a quick wrist shot that gave the Terriers a 5-0 lead. McMullen added to
the Hounds misery one last time on a shot from the point to end the game with a 6-0 win, but postgame the talk was once again of the trade that makes the defending SJHL champs even tougher in a move that was weeks in the making according to Terriers General Manager Don Chesney. “We were looking to bring in a top scorer since our injuries have mounted up,” says Chesney who pointed out several key Terrier returnees have missed time in the first half of the season. “Giebel has been out for awhile now and he was supposed to be one of our top scorers, and Derek Falloon just came back into the fold and with the league’s best defense it was a move that we felt would give us a chance at making a good playoff run to the league title and hopefully one step further to the Royal Bank Cup.” Boehm also men-tioned that the chance to play for a Royal Bank Cup and help the Terriers defend the league title had him excited even though he had a ton of success in Flin Flon. “The Bombers have a great organization and it was a sudden thing
to be told you might get traded, but when I knew it was the Terriers I felt that if I was going to have to move teams in the league this would be the top place to go so I am excited to bring my scoring to the fold and hopefully turn into
even more of a complete two way player while I am here to help the team.” Yorkton returns to action January 30 in Melville against the Millionaires before hosting the Mils on New Years Day.
Canada’s annual holiday tradition has been less magical as of late as the Canadian World Junior team hasn’t won a Gold Medal in Canada’s (Or maybe just TSN’s) favorite sporting event. The Canadians have not won the World Junior Gold since 2009 in Ottawa and have now missed the Gold Medal Game entirely for two straight tournaments missing the fi nal in the last WJC on North American soil in Calgary/Edmonton and then losing rather convincingly in 2013 in Ufa, Russia in what was a wake up call for the Junior program heading into a span this winter where the Canadian hockey program will once again be put through the ultimate paces in an Olympic year. One that will be taking place in Europe, in en-emy territory and on European ice surfaces. The Canadian Juniors have obviously had suc-cess on foreign ice during their 15 World Junior gold medal tournaments, winning in 2007 and 2008 during their run of fi ve straight World Ju-nior titles, but in recent years it has appeared the likes of the United States, Russia and Sweden have caught up to the Canadians at the Junior level thanks to more of a focus on youth player development and the popularity of the World Ju-niors growing in Europe and to a lesser extent in the United States where the National Team has a developmental program to keep players on the same team in addition to having NCAA and Cana-dian Hockey League talent on their rosters. This change was evident in 2013 when the Ca-nadians were absolutely dominated by an United States team that had not only equal, if not better,
talent but the desire to win in a convincing knock-out stage win over the Canadians. In a lockout year it was a wake up call at the worst possible time that if the Canadians are go-ing to end their World Junior drought they are going to not only have to adjust their game to the European ice surface, but also compete with coun-tries that are enjoying a boost in their programs as of late. No longer is the tournament one with Russia and Canada being the automatic #1 and #2 favor-ites based on who has the best future NHL talent at the moment. Now Sweden and the United States have been around long enough to be considered world pow-ers in international tournaments, with Sweden naturally boasting the best team with the most returning players of the tournament contenders this winter.
Russia will also be motivated with the country hosting the Olympics making this year’s World Junior pool one of the deepest ever. With elite talent in Jonathon Drouin and the potential for 16 year old sensation Connor McDa-vid to be on this team and 11 potential returnees for next year’s tournament in Toronto/Montreal Canada will be gold medallists soon enough, but this year will be the year where Canadian hockey is put to the test as they have to play the game on the bigger ice surface that plays into the hands of the rest of the world and eliminates the effec-tiveness of the dump and chase hockey that is the norm in our country. This is no secret and there is a reason why Can-ada has yet to win a Gold in the Olympics on non-American soil since NHL players have competed. On the bigger ice, the playing fi eld appears to be not just levelled, but in the favour of the often equally or more skilled European countries. Which is what makes this winter so interest-ing. Can Canada prove what they have again and again, that Canada is still the best at the sport their country put on the map? Canada will still be considered the pre-tourna-ment favorite as always in a tournament that is essentially ran by TSN and Canada’s love for the event, but anyone who has been paying attention for nearly half a decade now can tell you that this is now a tournament that anybody can win any given year. On international ice it is anybody’s tournament, but Canada will be hoping to show their brand of hockey reigns supreme.

It’s the Christmas holiday season, our most treasured time of the year. It’s a time of celebration, joy and sharing time with family and friends. Unfortunately, this important time can also be one marked by tragedy if precautions are not taken against accidental fire. According to the Canadian Safety Council, every year about 400 Canadians lose their lives in an accidental household fire. In fact, it’s during the holiday season that the number of deaths caused by acciden-tal household fires is at its highest.
Patrice De Luca, vice president of marketing and business development for Reliance Protectron Security Services, says the major culprit for this significant increase is the famed Christmas tree. “You need to take every possible pre-caution to minimize the risks of fire, especially if you choose a natural tree,” he added. “Fire is one of the greatest threats to your family and home. People do not realize the emotional toll a fire can take, even if there is no loss of life.”
Here are safety tips to consider from Protectron’s free “Saving Lives Program”:• If possible, consider an artificial tree.
They are much safer and cleaner.• Leave the tree outside until you’re
ready to decorate.• The tree stand should hold at least 1
gallon of water. It’s crucial to check the water level every day.
• Detectors for smoke and carbon monox-
ide should be installed at strategic loca-tions – your kitchen, stairwell, bedroom hallways and other high-traffic house-hold areas. Monitored smoke detectors can save lives by having operators stand-ing by 24-7 and dispatching emergency services if required (for example if fire occurs while sleeping).
• Keep the tree away from floor heaters, fireplaces, or other heat sources.
• Use only CSA-listed lights, and no more than three strands linked together.
• Use miniature lights–which have cool-burning bulbs.
• Turn off the Christmas lights when you sleep, or if you leave your home for very long.
• Examine light strings each year, discard worn ones.
• Fasten the bulbs securely and point the sockets down to avoid moisture build up.
• Avoid overloading wall outlets and extension cords.
• Have an operable fire extinguisher read-ily available.
• Practice an escape plan at least once a year. Make sure the whole family is involved.
• Finally, make sure to dispose of your tree properly at the end of the season.
Protectron’s “Saving Lives Program” is offered free to families considering home security solutions. More informa-tion on the program or on fire safety and home security is available online at www.protectron.com. www.newscanada.com
