yorkton news review - february 7, 2013

It’s a new partnership filled with plenty of opportunity.

The Parkland College has announced it has entered into a major educational partner-ship with the University of Belize – Central Farm Campus, Lakeland College (Lloyd-minster and Vermilion, AB), and Bow Valley College (Calgary, AB). The project seeks to solidify competency-based education training in Belize with a focus on sharing the colleges’ expertise on agri-culture, entrepreneurship, and forming links with industry.

The three-year partnership in the Caribbean nation will officially launch on April 1, 2013. The project is being funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the

Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). Parkland College will be a partner in the consortium to develop a new Associate Degree in Applied Agriculture to be delivered by the University of Belize. The proj-ect will work with university staff to improve instructional design techniques, employer-driven learning outcomes, as well as integrate entrepre-neurship, environmental sus-tainability, and gender equity throughout the project. “A key aspect of this project is revamping the University of Belize’s agricultural curricu-lum to support student transi-tions to employment,” says William Litchfield, Director of Advancement at Parkland College. “In addition to cur-

riculum support there will be significant time spent sharing best practices in academic advising, environmental stew-ardship, entrepreneurship, and attracting female students into non-traditional agricul-tural opportunities.” Litchfield says Parkland College has a long history of working with local communi-ties to support economic growth through education. The College will share its best practices with its partners to support the University of Belize’s growth and develop-ment. The ACCC’s International Partnerships program offers opportunities for members, like Parkland College, to establish connections with institutions in developing

countries. Through these part-nerships, Canadian institu-tions share experience in edu-cational programs tailored to applied learning and meeting community labour market challenges. “This is a great opportunity for Parkland College,” Litchfield notes. “Lakeland College will lead the Canadian institutional partnership, and we are very excited to work with the University of Belize to further develop it as a pre-mier educational provider in the Caribbean.” He added that Parkland College is assuming the lead role on gender main-streaming strategies, develop-ing training and materials for career guidance, and social marketing strategies and implementation.

The University of Belize hasseveral campuses spreadthroughout the country. Itsinland Central Farm Campusfeatures a diverse mixed farmoperation, providing studentswith hands-on training in live-stock, field crops, and resourcemarketing. The partnershipwith the Canadian collegesaims to share informationacross the Caribbean to boostrecruitment and promotion ofagricultural programs. “We look forward to workingtogether with our partners onthis project. There’s a lot wecan offer to make this partner-ship a success. But we’re alsoexcited to be an active learnerto better serve our students,communities and businessesin East CentralSaskatchewan.”

Ride for the cure

They won’t be mak-ing a Yorkton stop thisyear but they are outand about raisingmoney for a very worth-while cause. Ten Saskatchewanwomen set out on theirsnowmobiles February1 on a 1,800 kilometerride to raise money aswell as bring aware-ness for breast cancerresearch. This is the 13th timethe Prairie Women OnSnowmobiles group hassponsored the Ride forthe Cure, which so farhas raised $1.8 millionfor research. This year’s snowmo-bile team consists often core riders, threemembers of the pit crewand four executive. “It’s a lot of work toorganize the annualtrek, but it’s tremen-dously rewarding tohelp ‘fund’ a cure,” saysCarol McKnight,President of PrairieWomen OnSnowmobiles.

FOR THE LOVE OF LITERACY – Students and staff at St. Michael’s School recently took the time to read the book “Because of Winn-Dixie. Each night the students were to read one Chapter at home. In the morning there was a trivia question about the previous night’s chapter and prizes were handed out. The book was then brought to life when the school held a special literacy night with teachers, students, siblings and parents. The school was decorated as described in the book and seven different stations were set up, from origami folding, to cookie decorating, to a Jeopardy game. Pictured are Susan Malinowski (parent) and her two children, Hannah and Jack.

Without our rich her-itage, what would we be? The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed this week

– February 3-9 – as Archives Week in the province. The Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists (SCAA)

is hosting a week-long series of events around the province in honour of our heritage and the work that has gone into the preservation of that

heritage. “I am pleased we are able to celebrate the tremendous effort that goes into preserving and sharing our prov-ince’s rich history,” Central Services Min-ister Nancy Heppner says. “The celebration of Archives Week enables our citizens to learn more about the role archives play in our so-ciety and the steward-ship of our history.” As part of her Cen-tral Services portfolio, Minister Heppner is responsible for the Sas-katchewan Archives Board, a member of the SCAA. The Saskatchewan Archives provide a well-documented record of all aspects of provincial

life and memories of Saskatchewan’s many achievements. “Preserving our past is important and essen-tial work,” SCAA Exec-utive Director Audrey Price adds. “We’re pleased to have this opportunity to demonstrate our work, and to educate citizens on the importance of it. I encourage everyone to learn more about our province’s history by visiting the archives.” The fi rst celebration of Archives Week took place February 2006, and has become an an-nual event, celebrated during the fi rst week of February each year. The week is designated in honour of Edmund Oliver, who was the fi rst professor of histo-

ry at the University of Saskatchewan, and is regarded as the found-er of a meaningful ar-chival collection for the province. Archives Week takes place dur-ing his birth date, Feb-ruary 8. Events will be held across the province, from Shaunavon toHumboldt to La Ronge, as well as in Regina and Saskatoon. Events will include open house evenings at various in-stitutions around the province, exhibits and workshops, celebrity reading events, and fi lm nights featuring productions from the provincial archives.

The Just Watch Me contest is about entre-preneurs with disabili-ties, and the ways they have gone forward in the business world. One of the entrants, Perry Dancsok from the Massage P.A.D. in Yorkton, is legally blind, and recently opened his own busi-ness. He says becoming a business owner was something he needed to do, and he also says other people with dis-abilities should consid-

er doing the same. Dancsok says he decided to open his business because con-trolling his surround-ings is something he needs to do in order to effectively do his job. With a visual impair-ment he explains, the main difficulty is just finding the things he needs, but with his own office he can set it up around the way he works. He believes this is the key for any dis-abled entrepreneurs, making a controlled business environment in order to make their work life more effec-

tive. “My feeling is that anyone with a disabili-ty, I don’t care if you’ve got MS, or you’re deaf, or you’re blind, what-ever, if you open your own business you cre-ate your own environ-ment. If you have peo-ple working for you, that’s part of the learn-ing process. Chairs get pushed in, or this stays here no matter what, because it’s yours, not someone else’s, so you have your way of doing it... Why not do it so we can do what we need to do to the best of our ability?” he says.

Dancsok believes that people with disabilities need to overcome them in order to have their lives be as rewarding as possible, and that there are ways to make their environments work for them. “I think the biggest problem is that people with disabilities limit themselves. You can either let it stop you, and you can sit at home and dwell on it, or you can do something about it. It’s like a hurdle, but I just walk right over them. You need to get rid of the hurdles, even something simple like a

deaf person doing accounting. This way you feel better about yourself because you’re doing what you like to do, and in your envi-ronment where you’re comfortable doing it.” Dancsok got assis-tance in starting the business through Community Futures Development, which aided in getting loans and with the develop-ment of a business plan. He says that their help was important because while he knew what he wanted to do, he didn’t know many of the smaller details that

were necessary. “I didn’t realize all the little things that need to be done to start a business, it’s crazy.” The business has been going well, Dancsok says, with many old clients find-ing his new location. He says that the envi-ronment is better for him, but also for them as well, since it’s easier to access for elderly cli-ents and he can also work much more effec-tively in the space.

Author, editor, and Goodwill Am -bassador, Janet Love Morrison will be in Yorkton later this month to pro-mote her latest book – Friends, Six Friends, Six Cul-tures, One Human-ity – and to meet with local resi-dents. Born in Toronto Morrison now calls Vancouver home however she also has strong ties to the Yorkton area. Her mom, Nan Mor rison (nee Love), was born and raised in Salt-coats and her father, Ewen Mor-rison, went to Tupper School. They met after WWII, got married and ended up mov-ing to Vancouver. It seems the trav-el bug was passed on to their daugh-ter. Morrison says she has spent the bulk of her life trav-elling around the world doing a vari-ety of jobs while liv-ing in Switzerland, Israel, India, Japan, and Malaysia. She has also dedicated much of her time (acting as a Goodwill Ambas s-ador) to an organi-zation called Friends to Mankind (www.friendstom-

ankind.org), an international non-profit foundation that works with individuals, corpo-ration and philan-thropic organiza-tions towards the betterment of humanity. “Refugees, chil-dren, taxi drivers, fellow travellers, work colleagues, family, friends, Master Dhyan Vim-al, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and so many, many more remarkable people have been my teachers,” she says. “From the Himalayas, to the Swiss Alps; from the Andes to the Rocky Mountains; I have encountered this planet and I write to honour the courage of those who have met their challenges and rose to be the best they can be. They have sparked the belief in me that when we all rise to be the best we can be, humanity will rise to be the best it can be.” Morrison is also the author of The Crazy Canucks – Canada’s Legen-dary Ski Team, published 2008, Harbour Publish-ing, *Award win-ning book for 2009, “One Book – One Vancouver, The Host City Reads”.

That which I can be, a journey with my Master, a book about a Westerner discovering medita-tion in the East, published 2005, Zazen Publishing House, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Whistler Reflec-tions, a book on the pre-ski industry history of Whistler, published 1996, Terra Bella Pub-lishers, Van couver, BC, Canada. With her latest work she says, “The inspiration for this book came from all the teachings I learned in the East and people I met on my travels. I spent 14 years outside of Canada and this book became an opportunity to share what I learned.” Morrison says she feels any reader who has multicul-tural friends will enjoy reading the book. “And, I’ve been surprised how many men have enjoyed it!” Anyone wanting to learn more can do so by visiting: www.youtube.com/ or www.janet-lovemorrison.com/library.html. Janet Love Morrison will be

holding a special reading and sign-ing event to cele-brate her book Friends, Six Women, Six Cultures, One Humanity at the 5th Avenue Cup and Saucer in Yorkton on Friday, February 22 from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. She will also be at Coles Bookstore at the Parkland Mall (where copies of her book will be avail-able) on Saturday, February 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All are welcome to attend!

‘Wander’ what the

summer will bring?

Why can’t people just be people – black, brown, white, no matter the eth-nicity – whatever... why, when we are all CANADIANS, should there be different sets of rules and repercussions based solely on race? Two dangerous men recently escaped out of an “Aboriginal healing cen-tre” just north of Saskatoon. Both were being held for manslaughter. One killed a man by hitting him over the head with a two-by-four after an argument and the other shot someone to death in a gang related killing. Great pair of guys. Not. The average non-Aboriginal Joe would likely not see the outside of federal prison walls for quite some-time if they were found guilty of the same – these two men got what amounts to an all expenses paid long holiday if you ask me. Thirty-one year old Royce Virgil Bear was “sen-tenced” to five years and ten months. Twenty-three-year-old Brandon Avery White got eight years – both men to spend their time at the Willow Cree Healing Lodge. It’s a relatively new federal attempt to curb Aboriginal crime. These new “healing lodges” pop-ping up across the country “offer services and pro-

grams that reflect Aboriginal culture in a space that incorporates Aboriginal peoples’ tradi-tion and beliefs...” Needs are addressed through cer-emonies and teachings, contact with elders, chil-dren and nature. Well isn’t that nice? (And on a side note – who in their right mind would want to sub-ject their children to these

men?) The government can print all the happy statistics they want about how wonderful this new plan is, but where is the fairness? And where is the security? There’s now two murderers walking the streets because they walked out the front door of their fancy lodge. These are minimum security facilities and it appears to me, like they’re a walk in the park for offenders. Why were two murderers considered a minimum threat to the public? Rehabilitating people who have committed crimes isn’t a bad thing, especially for those who show great potential to contribute to society, but why is this option only offered to a certain segment of the popu-lation? And bottom line, shouldn’t public safety come first? Shouldn’t a murderer be treated with a little more caution than the guy who stole some diapers for his children?

The way I see it...

So long, penny. The one cent coin is disappearing from the lives of Canadians, just as it has already disappeared from the lives of Australians. The official reason is that the coin is no longer cost-effective, as the metal value is worth more than its face value. The unofficial reason, for myself at least, is that pennies are annoying, a bit of clutter that makes the wallet heavier and, when forgotten in garments, the washing machine louder. I won’t miss them. But now that they’re being removed from circula-tion, we still have to figure out what we’re going to actually do with the remaining coins. Let’s be clear here, a large number were produced every year, 662,750,000 in 2011 alone. We have billions of pen-nies, mostly found between couch cushions, and no real practical use for them. Well, less of a practical use for them, at least, since the only previous use – annoying people behind us in line while we dig out exact change – has been rendered obsolete. It is now time to think of creative ways to use the most useless of coins. The most obvious, and most practical, would probably be for a charitable donation. I’m not suggest-ing that this become the only charitable donation one makes, but if that’s where all of our pennies go it could add up. Charities across the country are doing penny drives, collecting people’s little brown coins in

order to tie in the death of the currency to the project they are raising money for. It’s a clever way to deal with something people are trying to discard, though the work of rolling and depositing the coins might make some of these groups question whether it was really a great idea. Still, if I see someone requesting some pennies for their cause, I’ll probably throw in the stragglers that live in my wallet. Then again, if you’re not interested in the better-ment of your fellow man, you could also hoard pen-nies. Since it’s going out of circulation, the Royal Canadian Mint is planning on melting down the pen-nies it can get its hands on. This is going to be a long

process, it’s estimated that it will take three or four years. That’s three or four years that you can spend collecting as many pennies as possible, sealing them away, and hoping that perhaps that example from 1985 will somehow become the rarest of the lot, highly prized by collectors. Maybe that penny will be so worthwhile to collectors that you can retire off of the funds raised. Or, maybe it’ll be a bust, and you’ll be stuck with an attic full of useless coins. That’s the joy of collecting as an investment. One can even get creative. A quick search of craft marketplace etsy.com reveals people turning pennies into jewelry or other forms of art, including a big ball of pennies. Collect enough, you might even be able to make a couch out of pennies, an artistic statement about the final destination of most coins that are care-lessly tossed into pockets. The possibilities are end-less, and since there are still several billion pennies out there, there’s a ton of material that can be used for all manner of creative expression. The penny was an instantly recognizable bit of cur-rency, but thanks to outside factors has long been a mostly useless piece of currency. Now that it’s dead, we can choose to either honor it, or toss it away to get melted down to its core components. Honestly, I just want to be rid of the stupid things.

To the Editor:

Education minister Jeff John-son got the attention of the Al-berta Teachers’ Association when he recently mused about introduc-ing merit pay for Alberta teach-ers. Predictably, the ATA harshly condemned Johnson’s proposal and vowed to fi ght any attempt to incorporate merit pay in teacher compensation. One of the main arguments the ATA gave for opposing merit pay was that it does not boost student academic achievement. However, there is no evidence that the cur-rent salary grid promotes student achievement either. Under the current salary grid, only two factors matter in teacher compensation – years of teaching experience and years of university education. John, with six years of university and 15 years of experi-ence gets paid more than Doris, with fi ve years of university and six years of experience. End of story. It doesn’t matter whether Do-ris happens to grade more pa-pers, teach better lessons, coach more sports teams, or serve on more committees than John. Even though most people would agree Doris is the better teacher, John is higher on the grid and conse-quently receives a higher salary. In the ATA’s view, that is exactly how it should be. Eric Hanushek, an economist at Stanford University who spe-cializes in education policy, spent many years analyzing the re-search on teacher effectiveness. He found that additional years of university education have almost no impact on a teacher’s effective-ness. The correlation between ex-perience and effectiveness is more identifi able, but still only modest at best. In other words, if improving student achievement is our pri-mary focus, one would never set up a teacher’s salary grid the way

it is right now. On its website, the ATA approv-ingly cites Harvard economist Roland Fryer’s critical review of New York City’s failed merit pay plan to buttress its case against merit pay. However, the ATA ig-nores Fryer’s more recent paper in which he identifi es a successful experiment with merit pay in Chi-cago Heights, Illinois. In his 2012 paper, Enhanc-ing the Effi cacy of Teacher In-centives through Loss Aversion,

Fryer describes how he and his fellow researchers discovered that teachers who were given a $4,000 bonus at the beginning of the year and told to pay it back if student achievement fell below expecta-tions, got signifi cantly better aca-demic results from their students than teachers in the control group where no incentives were pro-vided. Thus, the ATA is wrong in claiming that there is no research evidence for the effectiveness of merit pay. Another argument often used against merit pay is that there is no agreement on what constitutes good teaching and such subjectiv-ity makes it impossible for admin-istrators to identify and reward good teachers. This argument is so specious as to be laughable. Any parent with kids in school knows full well that some teachers are better than others. In addition, a candid conversation with a group of high school students about their current teachers should dis-

abuse anyone of the notion that all teachers are equally effective. There is also abundant research evidence that some teachers are better than others. John Hattie is Professor and Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute at the University of Melbourne. In his 2009 book, Vis-ible Learning, Hattie synthesizes the results from thousands of re-search studies to identify which practices have the biggest impact on student achievement. Need-less to say, some are considerably more effective than others. Introducing merit pay to Alberta does not mean the existing pay grid must be completely thrown out. Rather, merit could be incor-porated as an additional compo-nent of the salary grid. Teachers would still receive increases for ed-ucation and experience, but would also receive extra compensation as they move through several merit levels. Just as universities distinguish between assistant, as-sociate, and full professors, school administrators could establish different levels for teachers based on their performance. Evaluation criteria for promo-tion to a higher merit level could include student academic perfor-mance, classroom observations by the principal, extra-curricular in-volvement, and professional devel-opment activities. The ATA could even take an active role in helping administrators design meaningful professional growth standards. Merit pay for teachers is a re-form worth considering. While developing an appropriate merit pay plan would undoubtedly be a lengthy and thorny process, it could provide an effective way to reward teachers for what really matters. Giving additional re-wards to outstanding teachers is something the ATA should be able to support.

To the Editor:

While cities and provinces are working hard on the pressing lack of affordable housing for Canadi-ans, MP Garry Breitkreuz and the Conservatives are quietly getting the federal government out of it. An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 Ca-nadians are homeless and thirteen percent don’t have access to afford-able housing with enough bedrooms for their family. Some families of nine live in apartments for two be-cause that’s all they can afford. Our housing needs are not being met and the instability this causes in people’s lives has a tremendous economic cost – you can’t prepare your resume on a street corner. Nor is it cheap for taxpayers: the costs of medical care, shelters and day pro-grams for the homeless are more ex-pensive than providing them a place to live. Yet instead of putting resources in to fi x the problem, the federal gov-ernment is actually pulling back support. Over the next ten years, federally-funded mortgages are com-ing due for housing co-operatives that provide affordable housing. Tied to those mortgages are operat-ing agreements that provide vital funding for the co-ops and there are no plans to renew these subsidies. Without them, over 200,000 of the most vulnerable Canadians could lose their homes. The Conservatives are quietly booking $1.6 billion in annual “sav-ings” from this cut to affordable housing and have no plans to rein-vest the money. And that’s not the end of it: the fed-eral Investment in Affordable Hous-ing Program expires in 2014, but the Conservatives have still not begun negotiation for its renewal. It could get rolled into a general infrastruc-ture fund, moving this money out of housing. Why is this happening? Because Mr. Breitkreuz and the Conserva-tives believe housing is a provincial responsibility and want to get out of it – they even said so in the 2006 Budget. That’s just wrong. The Liberal Party believes that the opportunity to succeed begins with a roof over your head. By investing in afford-able housing, the federal govern-ment could help put some of the most at-risk Canadians back on their feet, living healthy lives and contributing to the economy. It’s time the federal government to do more for affordable housing, not less.

John McCallum, MPLiberal Party Housing Critic.

Ignoring the housing need

Merit pay for teachers not a bad idea

To the Editor:

It was almost exactly a year ago now that Ste-phen Harper jetted off to Switzerland to give a speech to the world’s economic elite, announc-ing that Canada could no longer afford its Old Age Pension program, and he would soon cut it back. That program to help low and middle-income Canadians has been in place since 1952. Sub-ject to income-related eligibility rules, it pro-vides a monthly pay-ment to each individual Canadian when he/she reaches the age of 65. The total cost of doing that is currently about $36-billion. That amounts to a modest 2.2 per cent of our GDP. This makes Canada’s

Old Age Pension one of the most affordable so-cial security programs in the whole world. Similar systems in oth-er countries use up 10 per cent or more of their GDPs. Ours is a bar-gain by comparison. But Mr. Harper says the impending retire-ment “bulge” caused by all those post-war Baby Boomers, soon turning 65, will blow the bank. He claims the Old Age Pension will become too costly. So, he says, the eligibility age must be changed – from 65 to 67 years. That will save big money, right? Not really. If no changes are made, the cost of Old Age Pensions will increase by the year 2030 to consume about 2.9per cent of GDP. That’s up from 2.2 per

cent today, but still a small total cost by glob-al standards. With Mr. Harper’s changes, pen-sion costs will still rise, but only to about 2.6 per cent of GDP in 2030. So all-in, the saving to the federal treasury is a rather tiny 0.3per cent. Clearly, there can be no allegation that Old Age Pensions are unsustain-able. Parliamentary Bud-get Offi cer Kevin Page pointed all this out, last February – just a couple of weeks after Mr. Harper’s erroneous claims in Switzerland. The PBO’s fi ndings were later confi rmed by the Auditor-General. Something similar happened on the Con-servatives’ proposed purchase of F-35 stealth fi ghter-jets. First,

the PBO disclosed the Harper government’s colossal mismanage-ment and dishonesty in this multi-billion-dollar procurement boondog-gle. And then the Au-ditor-General confi rmed he was right. Time and time again, this pattern has repeat-ed itself. Kevin Page has been fearless in blowing the whistle on incompetence and de-ceit. That explains the tirade against PBO this past weekend by Finance Minister Flaherty – ironically, just as he was jetting off to Swit-zerland for this year’s meeting of the world’s rich and famous.

Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.

Why do Conservatives hate Kevin Page?

To the Editor: A recent study from the Canadi-an Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that Canada’s best-paid 50 CEOs breezed through the end of the recession with earnings 235 times higher than the average Canadian income earner in 1991. For comparison, the earnings of these fi rst 50 CEOs were 85 times higher than the average income earner 16 years before, in 1995.

I am not sure there are words to fully express my feelings with re-gards to these stats. Some words, though, can help me express the reasons behind such discrepan-cies - words that we would need to name and repeat if we wish to put an end to such a situation. They are: selfi shness, contempt, cyni-cism, corruption, abuse and pa-tronage. And if we want to push deeper, they are: political parties fi nancing, lobbying, propaganda,

media concentration, diversion of democracy and nonworking de-mocracy. I am sure Canadians do not only think this is unfair. An increasing number of them must also real-ize that only an equal sharing of powers – which is what would be a real democracy – would lead us towards an equal wealth sharing.

SARAH JANE FOUGERE paints a live portrait at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is kicking off 2013 with a new art show by a local artist. Sarah Jane Fougere has a new exhibition of paintings on display at the gallery. The work is a mix of portraits and landscape paintings, most of which are “painted from life,” quickly painted to capture the people and scenes in a natural place. The style developed from a series depicting 100 Calgary artists. Fougere says that the project was a great jumping off point, allowing her to develop her style and learn as she worked with the differ-ent artists in the area. That project lead to Fougere continuing to paint quickly and some-times in a live setting. She says that painting rapidly is something which she feels makes the paintings more direct and better able to capture what she sees. “I like to see a painting with really fast brush strokes, almost like a train of thought... It’s almost like every little mark you make is a letter in the alphabet describing your surroundings and I see my paintings as a short essay. There’s not too much rendering, you can see the process and thought pattern that makes the picture whole,” she says. She says that speed is also important for por-traits just for the sake of the people sitting for them. Her goal was to make it go quickly because it’s hard to ask people she doesn’t know to sit for such a long period. “If I can get it to be the length of a movie, I can say ‘you can sit for a movie right? Let me paint your picture.” At the opening, Fougere painted a portrait live, and she says that portraits are rewarding not just for the work, but for the shared experience between her and the model. She says that in some cases, she has become life-long friends with people she met through the portraits. “It’s an actual meeting and an encounter, and I think that brings something to the work as well.” Many of the paintings are on masonite, which Fougere says she uses for a combination of conve-nience and aesthetic reasons. She says that part of the reason is because they fit well in her paint-ing box, but also because it allows her to work with the material instead of fighting with it. She says that the brown of the masonite is a neutral color that can work well with the look she is try-ing to achieve. Fougere has moved back into the area recently, and says that it’s great to be back. She’s enjoying the opportunity to work more for herself and con-tinuing evolving as an artist. She says that she’s grateful for the opportunities that a show at the Godfrey Dean can represent, and she hopes to connect with people in the area more as she con-tinues to work. The immediate future has Fougere working on her next show, taking some of her smaller paint-ings from a time spent in Alaska and turning them into larger, more ambitious pieces. She says that the paintings in the field are there to capture a moment and place, and the larger work will be used to flesh it out and make a more layered and striking.

Recently, I received a brochure regarding the impact of potash mining on the province and beyond. For those liv-ing in the Esterhazy area, home to some of the world’s largest pot-ash mining projects, you are likely well versed when it comes to the importance of the pot-ash mining industry. For those less familiar, here are a few facts: • Potash is a mineral found underground at varying depths. Once mined, it can be com-bined with nitrogen and phosphate to create an important fertilizer for crops such as coffee, rice and corn. • In our area alone, the potash industry directly employs well over 1,500 people with countless other contract and spin-off jobs linked to mining. Throughout Saskatchewan the pot-ash industry employed 5,841 workers in 2011, either directly or through contractors. • In 2011, those employed by the potash industry received $687 million in wages and benefits. Much of that

income was spent by workers and their fami-lies purchasing goods and services from local businesses and mer-chants. • Saskatchewan is the leading mineral produc-er in Canada, and pot-ash was Canada’s lead-ing mineral by value of production in 2011 at $8.0 billion. • In 2011, the potash industry contributed $947 million in provin-cial taxes, royalties and municipal taxes. • Despite having such a large economic impact, mining in Saskatchewan occupies only 0.1 per cent of the province’s total landmass. Coincidentally, as this column was being devel-oped, I received word of a fire underground at one of the Esterhazy

mines early last week. Our mines have a long standing commitment to safety and ensuring the well-being of their employees. In Saskatchewan there are over 130 safety profes-sionals employed by mining companies and over 1,000 emergency responders trained at mine sites. Most of these emergency responders use their training outside of the work environment and volunteer with their community fire depart-ments or as first responders. With the training and safety practices in place, it’s no surprise that all 318 miners at the Esterhazy mine were safely brought to the surface just a few hours after the fire broke out.

Valentine’s Day, is a day when love is cele-brated with cards, choc-olates and flowers – showing our affection for people we love. It can also be a day of increased pain and sad-ness for the bereaved. After the death of a loved one, our hearts can feel shattered and broken. We may find it difficult to assemble a complete train of thought. It may be hard to keep our heart open when we have been hurt and traumatized by a loss. Many feelings can come to mind, making it hard to feel much of anything, but we need to focus forward to the path of healing. Making a list of our feelings may help us to identify them and work through them. It is good to take some time to identify our feelings and openly accept them. Staying busy can be a blessing. Chances are you’ve heard advice sim-ilar to the following: “Get out of the house! She wouldn’t want you to stop living your own life.” There is much truth in those words. Get together with oth-ers and play a board or card game rather than watching movies, (unless there isn’t a hint of

romance in them.) This is one day when a romantic movie can be very painful. Instead, focus on a new project that you really enjoy, such as board games, cards or enjoying the vast outdoors. This year I encourage you to plan ahead for Valentine’s Day. Early in February create a buddy system with someone else who is grieving. Exchange cards, order in some food and share that meal together. Often going out to eat can be very painful on this day- so do a takeout meal and enjoy it with a friend. We can turn our love to other treasured fami-ly members. Valentine’s Day is marked as a day for LOVERS but it isn’t limited to them. February 14 is a time to focus on all those we love, such as our chil-dren and grandchildren and our friends. Focusing on the love we have within our circle of family and friends will help put a positive out-look on our day. Love comes in many different kinds of relationships. We need to celebrate the people we have around us each day and give God thanks for them. Each day we have the

opportunity to tell our family we love them, but Valentine’s Day is an excellent day to convey that message. Try to focus on all of the bless-ings we still have in our life, and on all of the love that we still can enjoy. By reaching out to someone else we will not only help them, but we will be helping ourselves as well. While the blues might well be a realistic part of our Valentine’s Day experience, we need to take steps to recon-necting with our feel-ings and with others. This will also keep an open path for healing. If Valentine’s Day feels too big to handle on our own, it may be a good time to find a coun-selor or therapist who can help us through this difficult time. We have a support group in town where the bereaved can come together and share

their feelings. This is a community of people who understand our feelings and are able to offer us support. Life is a combination

of laughter and tears. We should all appreci-ate the good, and know that when bad things happen in our lives, we are not alone. We have a Creator who is walking beside us, allowing us to take one small step for-ward-one step at a time. The journey of a thou-sand miles begins with one small step.

Again this year we are living in a wonderful win-ter wonderland where many residents and visi-tors can enjoy snowmo-biling, cross country ski-ing, skating and ice fish-ing. Local members of the Yorkton Sno-Riders Club have spent many hours this fall and winter clear-ing, grooming and sign-ing trails for everyone’s safety and enjoyment. The Club reports that all trails have been recently groomed and the shelters are continually being stocked with wood and supplies for the conve-nience of all riders. Trails are in good condition, however, they are at the mercy of winds and moth-er nature. The Prairie Women on Snow who ride across Saskatchewan to raise money for breast cancer began their annual ride on Friday, February 1 in Big River and end in North Battleford on February 8. Though they will not be stopping in our area this year you can still donate to this

worthwhile charity either on their website: www.prairiewomen.ca or by sending in a donation by cheque to: Prairie Women on Snow, Carol McKnight – president 579 28th Street West, Prince Albert, SK S6V 4T1 The 2013 Easter Seals Snowarama will be on Saturday, February 9, 2013. The registration and banquet will be held at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton. Riders can get their pledge sheets from the website at www.snowarama.ca, the Saskatchewan Abilities Council or any Yorkton snowmobile dealer. The riders will once again be stopping at Good Spirit Lake Golf & Family Resort for lunch and fuel. Local community mem-bers will be preparing and serving the lunch. The Hamlet is working overtime this year to keep the streets cleared of snow. It is hoped that the extra work done this fall to clean the water-ways will pay off in the spring. The transfer site continues to be a model for hamlets around the province. The Hamlet Board is beginning the task of setting up the

budget for 2013 and awaits clarification of the property assessment from the R.M. Upcoming Events for the Good Spirit Acres Community Association: • Sunday, March 17th - A St. Patrick’s Day Irish Stew fundraiser will be held from 5:00 – 7:00 at the Good Spirit Park Recreation Hall. Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased at the Good Spirit Market or from any community associa-tion board member.

Hello, hello! What do you know! We got snow! You remember from previ-ous years don’t you? That white stuff that melts and turns to ice on the roads? Or the blustering white out coming at you when you get passed by a trans-port truck? The white stuff from which you can build igloos and snow-men? Or even have a friendly snowball fight? Time to get out the snow boots and parkas, as well as the shovels and scrap-ers. But in our case, ready the tractor and the snow blower. As we sit here and watch the snowflakes landing on the lawn, we are making a list of all the things that we were sup-posed have done before winter, but never got around to. They will be spring projects now. Deer hunting season is on. Most hunter use rifles

or bow and arrows, but in my family the weapon of choice is my truck, only I’m not the hunter! My grandson Connor had an appointment with a bone specialist in Regina, so grandma and his mom “borrowed,” well actually I let them use it, my truck for the trip. On the way home, in the dusky dark hours of the evening, they had an encounter of the deer kind. It seems that these four legged venison menaces believe they can cross the highway wher-ever they want, and not the same place twice either! This one particular stag ran into the ditch when it saw the truck coming, only to change his mind and charge the side of the truck. Did he think he had competition for his doe? Or did he just not like my truck! He scared the heck out of our daugh-ter, but more so my wife who saw the antlers com-ing right at the side win-dow. Good thing the glass didn’t break! It is time, however late, to gather firewood for the wood stove. It will save us

a lot of money over the cold winter months. So, into the bush we go to take down standing dead trees, you know the ones where the top has sheared off; the tree is leaning but hasn’t fallen down yet. Probably black poplar and we will buck them up. It is seasoned wood as they have obviously been stand-ing for over a year, and if we keep them in a covered place away from moisture, they will be dry enough to burn just fine. Going through the bush like that is called “bush-whacking,” and I know how that expression came about. We force ourselves through the underbrush and small flexible trees. My wife leads the way, and as the small trees bend over where she vig-orously makes her way through the brush, they will snap back and whack me on the head. No more warnings like “watch your head” that she would say when we are riding the horses, just “follow me!” These dead trees are very light and easy to haul back to the yard to be

bucked up. Ole a Norwegian logger went up Vancouver Island to Campbell River to apply for a job. He walks into the local wood mill’s office and fills out an applica-tion. It’s his lucky day as the position had not been filled yet. But first the bush fore-man takes him for a ride in his company pickup truck to find out how much Ole knows. The fore-man stops the truck at the side of the road and points at a tree. “See that tree over there? I want you to tell me what species it is and how many board feet of lumber it contains.” Ole promptly answers: “It’s a citrus spruce containing 383 board feet of lumber!” The foreman is impressed. He drives on again and stops about a mile down the road. He points to

another bigger tree of a different class, and asks the same question. “It’s a Douglas fir and has about 690 board feet of lumber,” says Ole. Now the foreman is really impressed. Ole had answered quickly and got the answers right without even using a calculator! One more test. They drive a little farther down the road and stop. This time the foreman points at a smaller tree. Just as the foreman pointed, Ole says: “That’s a cedar and it has about 242 board feet of lumber!” The foreman turns the truck around and heads back to the office. He’s a little cheesed off because he thinks that Ole may be a bit smarter than he is. Just before the office the foreman stops the truck and asks Ole to step out-

side. He hands Ole a piece of chalk and tells him: “See that tree over there? I want you to mark an “X” on the front of that tree.” The foreman thinks to himself: “I got him this time! How would Ole know, or for that matter, how would anybody know which is the front of a tree?” When Ole reaches the tree, he walks around it in a circle while looking at the ground. Then he reaches up and place a white “X” on the trunk. He runs back to the fore-man and hands him the chalk. The foreman chuck-les and asks Ole sarcasti-cally: “How in the hell do you know that’s the front of the tree?” Ole chuckles and smiles at the fore-man: “Because somebody deposited a big poop behind it!”

Harvest lose late lead to Regina in slow weekend

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

With the Humboldt Broncos shock-ingly winning the Alex Forsberg sweep-stakes at the junior trade deadline and becoming the talk of the SJHL, the Terriers have showed that they aren’t going anywhere yet as of late. Dawson MacAuley has ran with an increased role in between the pipes and Jeremy Johnson has went on a scoring tear and all of a sudden the Terriers have won seven straight games and sit back atop the SJHL standings with fi ve games to play. A weekend slate that saw the Terri-ers host the Notre Dame Hounds and the Weyburn Red Wings on back to

back nights gave a feeling that Dawson MacAuley’s consecutive starts and shut-out streak would come to an end, but MacAuley got the start against Notre Dame and was phenomenal once again as he made 12 saves in the opening pe-riod to extend his shutout streak for another twenty minutes. Tyler Giebel scored his seventeenth of the year on the powerplay to make it 1-0 Terriers after the fi rst period. Another Terriers powerplay goal, this time by Curtis Oliver made it 2-0 before Notre Dame ended MacAuley’s shutout streak at three games with two quick unanswered goals to tie the game at 2-2. Defensemen Blaine Thomson provided the unlikely end to MacAuley’s streak with his fi fth goal of the season, but

Brenden Poncelet got quick revenge with a goal just before the end of period in a fl urry of action that saw three goals in the second period’s fi nal two minutes. Giebel added another powerplay goal just twenty nine seconds into the third and the Terriers staved off the Notre Dame pressure for the rest of the pe-riod to take a 4-2 win in a game where Notre Dame outshot the Terriers in a rare occurrence at the FAA this season. MacAuley was brilliant once again de-spite the end of his shutout streak, mak-ing 31 saves and improving his record to 12-5 after a streak that will serve as one of the individual highlights of the 2012/13 Terriers season.

Terriers extend winning streak to seven


With games at hand over much of their SMAAAHL counterparts, the Harvest enjoyed a one game week to kick of the fi nal month of the regu-lar season as they headed to Regina to take on the Regina Pat Canadians in the province’s capital on Saturday night. The Pat Canadians have had the Harvest’s number in their previ-ous meetings, stealing the win from Yorkton late in the third period in the previous two games and were looking to make it three games in a row in which they took points off the streak-ing Harvest.

Jaden Kreklewich got the Harvest out to an lead early off his tenth goal of the year and made it his second straight game with a goal after pot-ting one against Beardy’s the prior weekend. Lynnden Pastachak got the lone assist in a goal that served as the fi rst periods only goal with the Har-vest entering the opening intermis-sion up 1-0. Kreklewich’s goal came just thirty seconds into the fi rst and fl oored the Pat Canadians who re-grouped to outshoot the Harvest 9-7 in the opening frame. A quick goal was not in the cards in the second pe-riod, but Dakota Odgers did give the Harvest the fi rst goal of the period to extend the Harvest’s lead to two and

gave them another chance to fi nish off a lead against the Canadians. Emery Anderson took the momen-tum back to the hometown Pats with a goal with 1:59 left in the period to make it 2-1 Harvest and put the pres-sure back on Carson Bogdan to hold off the Canadians rally in goal and prevent another Regina comeback for the third straight game. A Mitch Li-pon unassisted shorthanded goal tied the game up as the Kamloops Blazers prospect notched his eighteenth goal of the year to make it 2-2 as the Har-vest blew another late lead to Regina.

With back to back games it was expected that Kale Thomson was to get his start on Saturday when the Red Wings came to the FAA, but MacAuley’s 31 save performance was enough for coach Trent Cassan to give him his fifth straight start in goal. A second run at a shutout streak was not to be as Weyburn struck first to make it a 1-0 game midway through the first period before Jeremy Johnson scored his twenty third of the season to tie things up at 1-1 to end the opening session at the FAA. Nathan Murray put home a shorthanded tally to give the Terriers a 2-1 lead that proved to be the turning point as Johnson added another highlight reel goal short-ly after, embarrassing a Red Wings defender before sniping in his 24th of the season to make it 3-1 Terriers after two. In the third the Terriers poured it on, scoring four goals in the final frame. Tyler Giebel started things off with a powerplay goal early before Johnson got his third of the night to make it 5-1. The hat trick gave Johnson his 25th goal of the season, becoming just the fourth player to reach the pla-teau in the SJHL this season. Kailum Gervais and Patrick Martens got in on the fun late with goals of their own and the Terriers rolled to a 7-2 victory.

Johnson, who now has had two hat tricks at the FAA this season, admits that being from Yorkton gives him an added boost at times when the Terriers play at home saying, “I have lots of friends and family who come to see me play and they give me a little bit extra when I know peo-ple are out supporting me.” Saturday’s game marked the end of a busy week for the Terriers, as they had only one game on the schedule between then and a February 13 clash with the Notre Dame Hounds, giving the Terriers some time to recover aches and pains in a stretch that sees the Terriers play just six games in nineteen days. That one game was a Tuesday night clash with the Estevan Bruins at Spectra Place as the playoff hungry Bruins were looking to end the Terriers win streak and improve their playoff odds. MacAuley took his sixth straight start as he looked to continue the Terriers win streak on the road. Nathan Murray struck first for the Terriers, continuing his scoring form as of late with a goal assisted by Tayler Thompson and Brady Norrish to give the Terriers first blood on the road. Scoreless hockey filled the majori-ty of the game as MacAuley and Estevan’s Curtis Martinu turned down every scoring chance in sight for much of the first and second periods as the game

crawled into the third with the Terriers still up 1-0. Estevan tied things up midway through the final period, sending the game into overtime where Johnson played the hero yet again, put-ting one past Martinu just 1:02 into the over-time frame to continue the win streak. MacAuley was huge yet again in his sixth straight win, stopping 24 shots and bolstering the huge amount of con-fidence Terriers coach Trent Cassan has had in him as of late. MacAuley credits his recent run to both his coaches and his players and explained he is taking everything as it comes saying, “I had a talk with coach before my first start of

the shutout streak and I felt I needed to step my game up, and I have never had a run of play like this before in my career at any level and it has really been spe-cial, but I am not taking anything for granted right now and want to just keep working.” Cassan has credited MacAuley’s play to con-fidence and being relaxed saying, “There was times this year where Dawson would come out one night with an amazing performance and the next game let in two early goals and get down on himself and as of late he has seemed looser and has been put-ting us in a position to win every night, espe-cially against Notre

Dame where we were outshot at home for the first time in a long time.” With five games left Cassan made it clear that the Terriers job in goal is still not going to be a guarantee saying, “When you have two good goalies you can ride who is hot and Kale Thomson will get a chance at some starts like we have been doing all season.” With three of the Terriers final five games on the road Cassan men-tioned that they will be experiencing a challenge that will prepare them for the playoffs saying, “We will be going into a lot of tough buildings with teams that will be looking to get into play-

off positioning and that is going to help us in knowing that we need to win those important battles on the road that are different than what you see when we play at home.” Five games in nine-teen days close out the Terriers season with three points separating them from Humboldt atop the league, with a hot goalie and a team that seems to be back running at all cylinders the Terriers will be look-ing at clinching the Sherwood and regular season SJHL titles. We are little under a month away from playoff hock-ey and it seems that for now the Terriers are more than ready for it.

Johnson, MacAuley continue to shine in Terriers fi nal month

Another year, another Super Bowl in the books as the Baltimore Ravens won one of the more in-teresting NFL champi-onship games of recent memory. Surviving a near half hour power out-age at the Super Dome to hold onto their lead with a 34-31 victory that came down to the fi nal drive of the game as usual with most Super Bowls. Ja-coby Jones was electric with a touchdown grab and a record setting 109 yard kick return. Joe Flacco entered the realm of elite quarterbacks with his fi rst Super Bowl ring and will be getting paid come free agency this spring. Colin Kaper-nick fi nally looked like a rookie at times as the vaunted Ravens defense ended the era of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis with one last show of dominance, causing multiple momen-tum turning turnovers throughout the game. It was a great Super Bowl, one that was not expected at the start of the season or even head-ing into the conference championship games delivered a handful of storylines for people to run with, yet one night in Atlanta thirteen years ago once again needed to overshadow what was a great conclusion to the NFL season. Throughout twitter on Sunday, the disturbing tweets like the ones Patriots fans made about Torrey Smith’s dead brother crept back up as Ray Lewis won his last Super Bowl. Tweets involving the unfortunate incident during the 2000 Super Bowl in Atlanta in which Ray Lewis and two other people were involved in a stabbing in-cident outside of a night-club during Super Bowl week surrounded the so-cial media force that is twitter on Sunday. It should have been no surprise that one of the most divisive men in the game’s history overshad-owed everyone else in his fi nal game, but here it was. Everyone was going to have their fi nal take on Ray. Ray Lewis potentially could have stabbed some-

one that night in Atlan-ta, nobody knows. It is a classic “whodunnit” sto-ry, a fi ght erupts outside of an Atlanta nightclub, a scuffl e ensues and Ray Lewis and the two people he was with rush off into the city in their limo. Something that could happen leaving a club every Friday or Satur-day night in every city in North America happened and due to the unfortu-nate problem we have in our society with weap-ons, two people happened to get stabbed. Yes, it is a very unfortunate situ-ation and the pain of the families of the deceased probably still linger even nearly thirteen years to the day, but should being in the wrong place at the wrong time defi ne a man? Especially a man who was never found guilty of murder? A man who has drastically changed his life in a positive direction since his lowest moment arguably deserves to be forgiven of his past. Lewis has became a family man, a popular public speaker, attempting to help oth-ers avoid the mistakes he made, does this deserve hatred? Ridicule? No. Does making light of the death of two people make Ray Lewis the bad person, or does it make you the bad person? If this unfortunate incident is to defi ne an entire hu-man beings life, are you any better for making a joke about it? Yes when we evaluate the career and life of Ray Lewis that night should always be mentioned, just as in this column the mistakes of the likes of Lance Arm-strong and others has been evaluated. How-ever, this isn’t an on fi eld transgression, this is one of personal matters. If Ray Lewis wasn’t the vocal man of faith who played for the Baltimore Ravens, you wouldn’t even know of this mur-der and to be frank Ray Lewis would probably be sitting in jail for life for a murder he did not commit himself. Everyone’s life in this situation would have been ruined, and you wouldn’t have cared. A group of black men go-

ing to jail for a stabbing outside of a nightclub in Atlanta? It would be backpage news the morn-

ing after, and it certainly wouldn’t warrant a follow up thirteen years later. Chalk this one up to

another case of how celebrity culture turns people into holier than thou when it comes to how people in the public eye are judged. In 2000 Ray Lewis was still just what many would consider barely an adult, a few years removed from college at the University of Miami and fi nding his way in the world as a young adult. I would safely as-sume that 95 per cent

of the people judging Ray Lewis wouldn’t be com-fortable with the lowest

moment of their early twenties being viewed under a microscope un-der the public eye. May the two men mur-dered that night rest in peace and the two men in jail right now and Lewis himself live with the fact they ended the lives of two young men, but let’s all realize that the Ray Lewis after Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans is not the same Ray Lewis as that fateful Super Bowl Sunday in Atlanta. That’s my fi nal word.

Year three of the York City Classic is in the books as both Yorkton schools built some confidence at their home tournament with strong weekends in different ways. The Raiders rode big wins over Prince Albert carlton and undefeated Swift Current to third place in this tear’s York City Classic while the Saints showed sings of a move in the right direction with a 2-2 record to finish in seventh place. The weekend tipped off on Friday afternoon as the Raiders took on Lumsden at the YRHS Gym. A weaker Lumsden team than in recent years when they pro-duced University of Saskatchewan standout Matt Forbes proved no match for the Raiders who came out flying to a lopsided victory in which the YRHS starters saw plenty of rest in the second half in anticipation for their Friday night clash against the undefeated Swift Current Colts. Bryce Tomcala was solid for the Raiders at the center position in the win for the Regional. Over at the Halo Dome the Saints beat defending provincial champs North Battleford in a sloppy affair that saw both teams turn the ball over well over twenty times apiece in the opening group stage game. A 65-61 win over the defending 4A champions would see the Saints go into their Friday night clash with Carlton with a chance to win Group D if they could pull off an upset. The Friday night games saw both Yorkton teams come out strong to start, the Raiders were in tough against a top notch Swift Current team that came into the YCC undefeated and hoping to be among the tour-nament favorites come semifinal Saturday, while the Raiders were looking to notch their first win of the season against top ranked 4A competition. A first quar-ter where both teams felt each other out saw the Raiders score in transition off inspired defense and excellent point guard play from grade twelve leader Daniel Mandziuk, but Swift Current’s three point shooting prowress kept them in it early as both teams ended the first quarter tied at 19-19. Swift Current’s shooting continued to be an Achilles’ Heel for the Raiders as the Colts controlled the game from the perimeter for much of the second quarter and if it wasn’t from great role play from Darien Kequahtooway, Tyrell Ulmer, and Alex Popoff the Raiders would have been in trouble at half, but the score remained 37-36. In the second half the Raiders defensive intensity finally took over the game as the Raiders outhustled Swift Current in the game’s final twenty minutes and buoyed by one of Ben Redl’s best games as a Raider ran the Colts out of the building in a 75-68 win to end their undefeated season and send the Raiders to the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon against prince albert St. Mary’s. Sacred kept things interesting in the first half of their game against Carlton and despite a great perfor-mance by Brendon Walkington, could not find the scor-ing needed to take advantage of their effort on the glass and in their 2-3 zone, eventually getting blown out by Carlton after being down just six points at halftime. In

other group stage play Moose Jaw Central and St. Mary’s made quick work of their Group B/C opponents on way to the smeifinals in what were rather less com-petitive round robin draws. On Saturday the Saints opened their B Side play in the morning against Moosimin where once again turn-overs plagued the SHHS boys, who once again were given a huge game from Walkington, but gave away the ball far too many times, especially in the fourth quarter where they were down just a couple of buckets for a majority of the final six minutes but could just not convert en route to a 60-56 loss to last year’s 3A runner ups. In the tournament semifinals the Raiders could not overcome a deep, physical St. Mary’s squad and fell short of advancing to the YCC final for the second straight year. In semifinal #2 Carlton nearly upset 4A runners up and highly ranked Moose Jaw Central, leading all game before Central’s Zach Schutte hit a buzzer beater three to send Central to the tournament final where they would face St. Mary’s. Sacred would finish their weekend against another 3A foe in the B Side consolation game taking on Caronport. The Saints protected the ball much better in the afternoon and dominated Caronport, who were missing one of their players due to an ankle injury. Regardless the Saints finished the weekend strong an took an 80-51 win that gave Saints head coach Garrett Karcha a spring in his step to end the YCC. “Sacred has never beaten North Battleford before and even with them rebuilding this season that was a huge win for us and two good games Saturday against 3A teams we will be see-ing for the rest of the year were huge for us” said Karcha. who mentioned that the Saints trip to Lumsden this weekend will be another big week-end as they go up against top 3A school Shaunavon. “Shaunavon right now are the favorties in 3A and how we play Thursday night will kind of show how far we have came” closed Karcha. The Raiders closed out their weekend in the bronze medal game against Prince Albert Carlton, and despite roll-ing their bench for much of the second quarter, the Raiders found themselves up fifteen in the fourth

quarter before Carlton mounted a comeback to send the game into overtime. In the overtime session, Redl ended up missing two free throws to allow Carlton to tie the game with a last second layup to send the game into double overtime at 74-74, threatening a tired Raiders team from letting a win slip away from them. However thew Raiders dug deep and Redl redeemed himself with some clutch outside shooting and post play in the second overtime session, earning the win and third place for the Raiders. “It was a war of attri-tion with two tired teams in the last game of the week-end, and after this weekend I think we are in the dis-cussion (of top 4A teams) but we have some work to do, and that’s okay.” said head coach Jason Payne. Payne praised the defense of Alex Popoff and Tyrell Ulmer in their wins saying “It is hard to get kids to accept a defensive role and it is always important for a team when that happens.” The Raiders will be off to Prince albert this weekend where they will get another potential crack at the York City Classic Champions St. Mary’s who blew out the YRHS and Central on Saturday on way to the 2013 title and the Regional will be looking to continue to improve as their competition gets tougher in the final month of tournament play. The road to Hoopla is get-ting shorter, and after another successful York City Classic the journey continues as the Saints and Raiders look to build momentum heading into provincial play-offs.

2013 YORK CITY CLASSIC action ended Saturday with a YRHS double overtime winover P.A. Carlton to take third place in the tournament. The Saints finished 2-2 for theweekend earning seventh place while P.A. St Mary’s took the tournament crown in the2013 YCC.

Logan Herchak took advantage on the power-play shortly after to give the Harvest the lead once again with just 7:23 left to kill to secure the elusive win over the Pats. With twenty three sec-onds left Tristan Frei put the dagger back in the Harvest’s hearts with the latest of tying goals. Despite outshooting Regina 8-3 in the final period the Harvest ended up having to settle for a 3-3 tie with Bogdan stop-ping 23 shots to extend the Harvest’s unbeaten streak to eight games. With the Blazers winning out on the weekend the SMAAAHL standings have now became con-gested going into the Harvests final seven games with four teams one point away from being seeded anywhere from fifth to eighth in the play-offs.

Tisdale, Battlefords, and the aforementioned Blazers will serve as the Harvest’s main rivals in the final month, with the Harvest playing the Trojans and Blazers once each in their final seven games in two matchups that will be likely differ-ence makers come the end of the season with the Harvest trying to avoid a meeting with the Prince Albert Mintos in the first round eight seed against one seed matchup. This week will see the

Harvest close regular sea-son play at the Farrell Agencies Arena as three home games will serve as the 2012/13 regular sea-sons final action in Yorkton. A weekday meet-ing with the Trojans will set the playoff atmosphere going into the weekend where the Harvest will get to play the already mathematically eliminat-ed Notre Dame Hounds before a final meeting with the Pat Canadians set for Sunday afternoon. With four tough road

games to close out the year, the Harvest will be looking to grab all possi-ble six points in their quest to finish the regular season in away from the seventh and eighth seeds to improve their odds of advancing in the first round of the playoffs. With a spot in the playoffs a near guarantee at this point, the playoff picture has now became a ques-tion of where the Harvest will land when the dust is settled come the end of February.

It was a long antici-pated week for the Yorkton Sherring Gold Pee Wee AA Terriers. On Wednesday night they travelled to Estevan for Game 1 of the second round of Pee Wee AA Provincial Playdowns before heading to play in the 21st Regina Pee Wee Classic Tournament. The Terriers beat Estevan by an resounding score of 13-1. The Estevan game was important as it gave the team confidence heading into the Pee Wee Classic Tournament which the next day. The tournament was last won by a Yorkton team seven-teen years ago which was captained by local prod-uct and NHL Star Jarret Stoll. The Hockey Regina Pee Wee Classic Tournament is the larg-est Pee Wee Tournament in Western Canada, fea-turing 32 teams from across Western Canada. Top Pee Wee Players and Teams from Winnipeg, Regina, Centre Four Hockey League, Southern and Northern Alberta were all represented, along with the Yorkton squad who were coming in with a 16-0 record in league play for the tour-nament. NHL Players such as Jay Bouwmester, Devin Setoguchi, and 2012 NHL Lady Byng runner-up Jordan Eberle have played in the tour-nament over the years. One of the Yorkton teams goals at the begin-ning of the year accord-ing to coach Chad Korczak was to capture the Regina title, so they had their sights set on the championship trophy from the opening faceoff. Yorkton was grouped with Regina Sabres, PA Raiders and Foothills Bisons in pool play, defeating all 3 with rela-tive ease with scores of 11-3, 7-2 and 9-4 respec-tively to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals the Terriers went up against one of the top teams from Northern Alberta, the Beaumont Braves. The Braves were a quick and well rounded team, however the Terriers caught them off guard, potting 4 quick goals early in the game. This was quickly erased as the Terriers were caught on their heels later in the game enabling Beaumont to tie up the game late in the 3rd peri-od. The Terriers refo-cused and potted a goal late in the game to give the Terriers an extreme-ly nerve wracking 6-5 victory to advance to the semis. The stage was now for a heavily anticipated semi-final game vs the Winnipeg Railcats. The Railcats were known for their strong defensive style of hockey in which they outscored their opponents 34-4 in the first 4 games on the tour-nament and are sporting a 24-0 record in Winnipeg Pee Wee AA League Play. They Railcats also made it to the final of the pres-tigious Quebec International Pee Wee Tournament last year, making them the tourna-ment favorites.

The Railcats had a dis-tinct advantage boasting all second year players to the Terriers mix of first and second year players second year players, so the Terriers needed everyone to step up their game Yorkton was able to break the ice with an early 2nd period power-play goal, however the Railcats answered back with two of their own, leaving them up 2-1 after the second period. Yorkton battled back on the powerplay netting two quick goals early in the third to reclaim the lead and never looked back, winning 5-3.

Nine athletes from the Yorkton Legion Track Club attended the annual Sled Dogs Track & Field Meet in Saskatoon. Athletes from all over Western Canada attended the meet ranging from ages of ten years old to ath-letes in university. “We had some great milestones yesterday at the annual Sled Dogs in Saskatoon,” said Marcel Porte, Team Manager of Yorkton Legion Track Club. “Some of our club mem-bers were hitting their personal bests, others competing in an event that they never have before and one athlete hitting a milestone that he never thought he could achieve.” Jaden Porte made an achievement of a life time in track & field beating Greg Hetterley (western Canadian 1,200m + 2,000m Champion from Regina Queen City Striders ) and Matthew Johnson (runner up 1,200m + 2,000m champion also

from Regina Queen City). Jaden’s time for the 1,000m was 2:40.26 earning him the gold, while Hetterly’s time was 2:40.53 for second and Mathew was 2:46 getting third place. “Greg and Matt are the toughest competitors that I have been run-ning against,” said Jaden Porte. “Hard training has really paid off from a great coach, Kirk Flaman, as I final-ly beat my two main competitors.” Ben Koroluk and Grady Hawkins had great times making their personal bests in 800m Midget, with Ben getting second in the aforementioned 800 meter event. Ethan Field from Langenburg had a great day beating some great athletes from all over Saskatchewan. He was

competing against two heats for the 60 meter race.

Pee weeTerriersCont. from Page 19

The 5-3 win gave the Terriers momentum head-ing into the final, beating the tournament favorites and giving their first year players confidence that they could hang with the older and more experi-enced teams in the tour-nament. The final would be against one of the top teams from Edmonton, the NWZ Renegades. The players knew the excitement and crowd that the championship game would draw, as each player was introduced under the spotlight as they skated onto the ice and lined up for O’Canada. There was a definite home town feel for the Terriers as they were not only rep-resenting Yorkton but many Pee Wee Teams from across Saskatchewan were rooting for them. A five on three penalty kill was killed off by the Terriers early off a 5-3 penalty early sparking the Terriers to double the Renegades in shots for the rest of the period. Against a very hot goalie from Edmonton, the game was held scoreless after one. The Terriers broke through in the second with the first goal and rode three more in the third period to notch a 4-1 win and take home the Pee Wee Classic for the first time in well over a decade. Coach Korczak was elated for his team say-ing, “It was one of our goals all season to win this tournament after coming close last year and the returning players gave us that added fire after losing last year and really helped our first year pee wee’s who in turn stepped up and our team spirit showed in the final two games.” A moment these young kids will remember for a lifetime was etched in Regina as the Pee Wee Terriers took home an elusive gold.

Boost your Business without Cutting your PricesSmart business people know that your options to stand out from the competition are limited… Cut prices? Not very profitable. Improve product quality? Certainly, but that can take substantial time and money. The fastest, most cost-effective way to differentiate yourself is to focus on your service. Customer service can no longer be merely average or simply friendly; it needs to be remark-able. Here’s your opportunity to make that happen for your team…

Attend Jeff Mowatt’s half day seminar,“The Art of Customer Service… Influence with Ease”

Jeff believes that today’s customers no longer value you as an information provider. For information,

customers can search Google in less than a second and it’s free. Free is worthless. Fortunately however,

there are 3 core elements that customers do want from you–better yet to receive them, they are willing to

pay a premium. You’ll discover how to apply these 3 elements so you’re perceived less as an information

provider or order-taker, and more as a Trusted Advisor. Plus much more.

Coming to:

Details at Upcoming Eventsat www.JeffMowatt.comOr call 1-800-JMowatt (566-9288).

Jeff MowattCustomer Service Strategist

“Our results using Jeff’s conceptshave been tremendous, with overall sales up over 300% compared to last year.”
