Canada/Sask. in a good place: BreitkreuzBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Yorkton-Melville MP Gary Breitkreuz says that the past year was a good one for the government, and the country as a whole. The big plus for the country was the economy, with a glob-al recession leaving the nation relatively unscathed. Breitkreuz says that the plan to go towards balanced bud-gets is on pace “This past year shows that we’ve managed things pretty good as far as the budget and the federal government is con-cerned. Most countries have had a difficult time coming through it, but Canada is number one in the world eco-nomically, so that says a lot about how we handled things.” He also says that the gener-al operation has gone smoothly

as well, with the large omni-bus bills passing without inci-dent. Gun control bills were also revisited, and Breitkreuz says he managed to prevent restrictions which he says would have made importation of firearms “virtually impossi-ble.” The big news for the federal government, and for this region specifically, is the trade deal with the European Union. Breitkreuz says that the potential benefits for this area are wide-ranging.

“At this point we just don’t realize how important that will be for this constituency. Agriculture will benefit great-ly as the years go by, with access to another 500 million people we should be very com-petitive... The Europeans have traditionally put up a lot of barriers to us exporting into the area, this takes a lot of those barriers away... It is an agreement that in my opinion is more important than the agreement with the US, and look what that agreement has

done to boost Canada’s econo-my.” He says that while that is the big deal, there are also many much smaller deals with smaller countries that add up to a wide range of new mar-kets for the Yorkton-Melville constituency. Another thing that Breitkreuz believes will pay dividends in this area is a per-manent gas tax refund, which funds grants to infrastructure automatically. He says that the grants have gone unno-

ticed, but he says that it has been a program that benefits the region. “There’s not a lot of fanfare, not a lot of politics, it’s just money they can count on to benefit the region.” When it comes to the senate expenses scandal, Breitkreuz believes that it was a small issue blown out of proportion, and that in the next year he hopes to move on to more important issues. “The focus on that has dis-tracted from some of the other important things in Canada. We should be having debates on what the best way to move forward is, what should we be doing, but the opposition drives the agenda... It makes for interesting television, but the distraction it provides from the main issues is a distrac-tion for us,” Brietkreuz says.

Another successful year: Fisher on the foundation

It was a good year for fundraising and because of local support, The Health Foundation is able to continue its efforts to improve health care throughout the entire region. Speaking about prog-ress and future goals in a Q&A with The News Review is Executive Director Ross Fisher as 2013 fades and 2014 unfolds.

• What are some of the highlights of the year?

This was an important year because we had to show the government we could raise money for the new regional hospi-tal, and do what we nor-mally do at the same time. We were able to do that because we had a lot of help, especially from the farm commu-nity and the Yorkton Farm Implement deal-ers. As well, there were over 5,000 donations made to The Health Foundation this year, which means people strongly supported our work.

• Was 2013 a success-ful year?

Yes. For us a success-ful year means that we were able to buy equip-ment that provides a new or improved service to the people of this region; it means we were able to make a differ-ence in our local health-care. With the help of our donors we bought three pieces of equip-ment that will make a difference: •New ultrasound machine – the key to our raising funds for this was the funding being provided for a new staff person to run the machine. Both the new staff person and the machine are in place and working, this machine allows Sunrise to do an additional 2,500 exams a year and will significantly reduce wait times for exams; • New upgraded hematology (blood) ana-lyzer – The lab in the regional hospital will run over 32,000 tests annually on this machine. This machine

is new technology and provides better informa-tion and allows our tech-nologists and doctors to do tests they couldn’t before. This machine helps diagnose cancers, blood disorders, nutri-tional deficiencies and provides a complete blood count for almost every patient getting blood work; • New Cardiac Stress Test equipment – this machine has been ordered and will be in place for the first week of 2014. This equipment consists of a treadmill and computer equip-ment and programming. Various cardiac condi-tions can be diagnosed with this equipment. The above equipment cost $321,800; in addi-tion, we bought another $225,667 in smaller pieces of equipment. Items like vital signs monitors, telehealth monitors for the heart and stroke clinic, $31,000 in new surgical equipment, and items for ICU and palliative care. We also spent about $100,000 in the facilities outside of Yorkton, as we do every year. Many people think we only raise funds for the hos-pital in Yorkton, but we raise funds for every facility in Sunrise Health Region. This year we bought items from a blood gas ana-lyzer in Langenburg, and a medication cart and a ceiling track sys-tem in Esterhazy, to a blanket warmer and chemotherapy fridge in Melville. As well, we awarded 26,500 in education scholarships this year. We try to assist nurses and therapists who want to improve their clinical care skills so they can look after patients to the best of their ability.

• How do we raise our funds?

We raise funds by ask-ing businesses and indi-viduals for donations. Generally, if people can see there will be a clear benefit by providing a new service they are willing to make a dona-tion. The other way we

raise funds is from events like the: Charity Golf Tournament, Airwaves for Health Radiothon, Road Race and our Gala. The Golf Tournament and the Road Race involve the public in a big way as the runners and golfers raise pledges in the com-munity.

Volunteers are Important

Without volunteers we could not put on the events we hold each year. Each event has a committee of volunteers that organize the event, and then of course there are many more people volunteering the day of the event. We also man-age the Gift Shoppe at the hospital and there are over 40 people who volunteer every week at the gift shoppe. It is open about 80 hours a week, and staffed com-pletely with volunteers.

• What are you look-ing forward to in 2014

The year 2014 looks to be an exciting year, and we hope that some of the programs in the regional hospital can expand. • With the help of the agriculture community and our local farm imple-ment dealers we hope to continue the Farming for Health project for another year; • We will continue to raise funds toward the new regional hospital, we expect 2014 will see renewed discussion about the new hospital with the government, and we have to be ready; • We will be raising funds to put new patient bedside monitors in place in the regional hospital; these are very exciting new technology that will be good for both patients and medical staff; • We will be expand-ing our radiothon to make it more of a com-munity event and to involve the business community in a bigger way; • We hope to expand the chemotherapy pro-gram so fewer patients have to go to Regina for treatment.

NEW YEAR’S BABY – On January 1, the Sunrise Health Region welcomed the arrival of the first baby born at Yorkton Regional Health Centre in 2014, Jase MacLeod. Garret and Chelby MacLeod are the proud parents of Jase and his four year old sister Gabi. Jase was assisted into the world by the physicians and staff of the Yorkton Regional Health Centre at 12:51 a.m. He weighed in at seven pounds and two ounces. The MacLeod family resides in the Melville area.

There’s a new “app” in town and it promises to help better connect rural people, many of whom live in this read-ing area. Scenario… You come across a washed-out road on your way to town. You use your smartphone to take a picture with a GPS tag attached, describe the prob-lem and hit “send.” Not only is the RM office alerted to send a repair crew, oth-ers in your municipality are automati-cally informed of the danger. That’s just one use for the myRM network, a free service that gives users instant access to the maps, emergency alerts, municipal news, weather, and contact information for more than 85 Saskatchewan municipalities signed on with the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS). The myRM app will be made available to the remaining 200-plus RMs in Saskatchewan early in the new year. With most rural residents now con-nected to the Internet or owning a smartphone, myRM now allows rapid notification of news ranging from dan-gerous weather or road conditions to a cancellation of a local hockey game or curling banquet. The myRM.ca online network (http://myRM.ca) was launched by APAS in 2012 to provide its member RMs with easy-to-administer municipal websites with real-time local weather, detailed local forecasts, municipal news, agri-cultural events and more. Participating municipalities are now able to push real-time notification and alerts to myRM app users. “The myRM app will do all this for Saskatchewan’s rural citizens. It’s very exciting. It’s a game changer,” says Norm Hall, APAS president. It’s a fitting release for APAS, an

organization representing the diverse interests of a wide swath of agricultur-al stakeholders across Saskatchewan. APAS developed the app in partnership with Weather Innovations Consulting LP (WIN), which also owns WeatherFarm, Canada’s largest net-work of weather stations. With several hundred stations in Saskatchewan, that also means myRM users have access to real-time weather in their area. “Farmers are, after all, always on their smartphones,” ads Robin Busby, office manager for the RM of Antelope Park, and an administrator who helped flesh out the final product. “How am I supposed to know if this or that road is closed, or if there is a heavy haul ban in place? If you can have that information available to everyone with a smart-phone, why not?” “This myRM will help protect rural infrastructure,” says Aj Thakker, WIN’s director of community initiatives. “Saskatchewan’s rural residents will now have the ability to instantly com-municate with their local municipal government offices, regardless of whether they are at home, in town or somewhere in between.” The app is attracting attention across Saskatchewan, and Manitoba has already expressed interest in offering such a service to its ratepayers. “It’s a very important connection between those in the agriculture sector and their municipal governments,” said Hall. “The myRM app will make that connection stronger then ever. The implications of its widespread use are exciting, democratically and generally. It’s the first of its kind, and has already proven to be an exceptional online ben-efit for our member municipalities.”

New “app” for rural residents

It is the season and res-idents are being advised to take precautions. In Saskatchewan up until December 28, there were 161 lab-confi rmed cases of infl uenza, sev-en hospitalizations of people with severe in-fl uenza-related illness, and three deaths. The infl uenza season had a slow start; however the level of infl uenza activ-ity is increasing, says the region’s chief medi-cal health offi cer. In response, the Sunrise Health Region has an-nounced it will hold ad-ditional infl uenza clinics, including two evening clinics in Yorkton. Per-sons not able to attend a clinic can call any of the local public health offi ces to arrange an appoint-ment to be immunized. The clinics list can be accessed via a link on the home page of www.sun-risehealthregion.sk.ca.; the upcoming Yorkton dates are: • January 10, 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Yorkton Public Health Offi ce • January 14, 4 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Yorkton Public Health Offi ce

• January 24, 12 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Yorkton Public Health Offi ce H1N1 is the predomi-nant strain circulating. This means that children under fi ve years of age as well as young and mid-dle-aged adults are more likely to be susceptible to infl uenza, so we an-ticipate that illness will disproportionately affect these people. Other high risk groups include adults 65 year of age and over; persons with a chronic health condition or those who are morbidly obese; preg-nant women; and resi-dents of a nursing home or other care facility. Vaccination is also rec-ommended for individu-als in close contact with these high risk groups. You can also protect yourself against season-al infl uenza and reduce transmission of infl uen-za in the community by adopting infection pre-vention methods such as frequent hand washing, coughing and sneezing into your sleeve rather than your hand, cleaning surfaces often, and stay-ing at home when sick.

New Haematology Analyzer arrives in Yorkton Funds are being raised and it’s making a big differ-ence in the region when it comes to improved equipment and services. “We are really pleased to announce that the new hae-matology analyzer has arrived,” says Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “We had a tremendous response to our fundraising campaign for this equipment, with hundreds of individuals making donations.” “This analyzer is a real upgrade on our current machine so we are very glad it’s arrived,” adds Donna Baragar, one of the medical technologists who will use the new machine. “We have been running controls and tests for the past week making sure everything is work-ing perfectly. It looks like we should be able to start using the new machine next week. “This machine will be the key piece of equipment we use for all the blood work we do in the hospital; we will conduct up to 200 tests a day on this machine. We can also examine additional bodily fluids with this machine and we can run more tests than we can with our current equipment,” she details. “The new haematology analyzer will be used to aid in the diagnosis of various cancers, blood disorders and nutritional deficiencies. It will provide more and better information to our technologists and physicians. Those of us who work in Lab Services at the Yorkton Regional Hospital are very grateful for the generous donations that have allowed us to buy this state of the art equip-ment,” concludes Bev Fuches, Technical Director Laboratory Services.

“You’ll always have people who bend the rules and do something they shouldn’t, it’s very difficult to control every single person that’s in Ottawa, but look at the large number of people who continue to do a really good job that go unnoticed... If the RCMP finish their inquiry that should probably put this whole thing to rest.” For the coming year, Breitkreuz says that the country needs to stay the course, keep the house in order and keep on the path to a balanced budget. He says that he is worried when he sees what is happening south of the border with increased spending without increased revenue, and he says Canada can’t go down the same path. “If government lives within its means, and keeps taxes low, it boosts the economy.” Breitkreuz concludes by saying it was a good year for him personally as well, as he celebrated 20 years in parliament.

THE NEWS REVIEW

Taxing situationsees change

If it’s too cold for YOU to be venturing outside without being all bun-dled up, chances are, it’s too cold for your pet. You would think know-ing this would be a sim-ple matter of common sense, or maybe it’s that some people just don’t care, but when it’s 30 below, would YOU want to be shivering outside without proper shelter or care? I’m guessing not. While they may come equipped with fur, domes-tic pets are NOT suited to be spending frigid hours on end outside without proper care. With that said, I still see dishevelled cats scurrying about looking for somewhere warm to hide, pic-tures of dogs shaking, pleading to come inside, story upon story of pets being found frozen, no longer able to cope. And even if they do manage to survive, what kind of life are they living? Not to preach, but seriously, shouldn’t we all know better? If you can’t look after a pet properly maybe you should consider not getting one. Luckily though, there are many caring and responsible people out there. In addition to the services provided by the Humane Society, we’re fortunate in this little cor-ner of the province to have a great group called

GAAR or Guardian Angel Animal Rescue, whose members have made it their volunteer mission to protect ill fated pets and ensure they have the quality of lives the deserve. Sad, but true, this is a very busy group of people. GAAR was created a number of years ago as a shelter in Melville.

Unfortunately due to the cost of renting a build-ing to house the animals, plus the cost of utilities it was too much money to keep running as a shel-ter. Today, volunteers do everything from their homes – from fostering stray, abandoned, neglect-ed, unwanted, and abused animals, to finding caring homes. This is an admirable group of peo-ple to say the least. If we don’t take it upon ourselves to do the right thing, then who will? There’s a lot of winter left so if your pet is among the many unfortunate sitting out on the cold side of the window, begging to come in, why not have a heart and let him in? “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

The way I see it...

The grandparent scam has been going around for a while, and has just hit new victims in the province. The scam works by calling someone and tricking them into thinking their relative – often a grandchild, sometimes a niece or nephew – is in some kind of legal trouble far away. As a result, the person is requested to send a big pile of money by wire transfer – which is conveniently difficult to trace – in order to help their relative. The actual relative is not aware of what is going on, because they are usually comfortably at home. It’s only later that the crime is revealed, and even then some people do not report it due to the shame of being tricked. The problem is how to prevent such crimes from occurring. From a grandparents’ perspective, if they get any such calls they should probably hang up and phone the actual person in question. That is naturally going to be difficult, because the scam taps into the part of everyone’s personality that makes them want to protect their families. If their relatives are truly in danger, then it might be too late if they hang up and try to contact them through other means. The scam works because it gives a sense of urgency, which makes it seem like it would take too long to verify with other sources, and people sometimes make poor decisions under such pressure.

So what can be done? This is something that we need to figure out from the younger relative’s end. Since it’s going to be our names being used to trick our relatives, we need to figure out how to let our grand-parents know whether it’s really us, or some kind of con artist trying to get their dirty hands on our grand-parents’ money. While I’m not an expert, I have a couple ideas of how to keep our elders at from getting suckered into this con. The first step would naturally be find a way to keep in close touch with those elderly relatives. Phone them regularly, at least tell them about any big plans or trips being taken, keep them in the loop about what

is going on in your life. That way, they will not believe their grandchild is in some third-world prison needing a lump sum for bail – after all, you tell them when you’re going somewhere, and you never told them you were going to the country mentioned. Keeping them well informed about your life at the very least gets one layer between them and the con artists. Another idea is to figure out a way for a family member to actually tell whether or not a relative is actually a relative. Give them a little question and answer, nothing complicated, but something that they can use to ascertain who the person is on the other line. Something only that grandchild would know, like a beloved childhood pet or maybe just a family joke, something that would be easy to recall in such a situ-ation. The idea would be to just have the con artist on the other end show indications that they are lying, and allow the grandparent in question to hang up without remorse. The sad part about the scam is that it works because the people being conned believe that their family is in trouble, and have no reason to doubt it. For their families, we need to give them reasons to doubt, and those are just a couple ideas for helping them know whether it’s an actual grandchild or some-one trying to dupe them.

It’s not generally a pleasant topic for most but another tax season is nearing and hopefully, if provincial government changes help as they say they will, it won’t be overly painful. According to the province, Saskatchewan residents will save an estimated $6.5 million in 2014 with the continued indexation of the provincial income tax system. By the end of 2014, a family of four with $50,000 income will have saved about $15,000 through government’s various tax reductions says Finance Minister Ken Krawetz. Since 2008, he adds, about 114,000 low-income Saskatchewan resi-dents have been removed from the tax rolls and overall, Saskatchewan residents have saved more than $300 million through lower person-al income taxes. “When income tax savings are combined with new tax reduction programs introduced since 2007, that include the refundable Low Income Tax Credit and the Active Families Benefit, a single person with $25,000 annual income will benefit from $856 in lower provin-cial tax in 2014 than in 2007. A fam-ily of four with $50,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,775 and a family of four with $75,000 combined income will see tax sav-ings of $2,542, when comparing 2014 to 2007.” We may not be exactly where we need or want to be when it comes to taxes but real savings for Saskatchewan residents is a step in the right direction and an added incentive to call this province home. We work hard for our money so to bring home a little more at the end of the day, while maintaining growth, will mean a lot.

To the Editor:

Surrounded as we are by the tunes and decorations of the holi-day season, Industry Minister James Moore’s recent uncharita-ble comments about child poverty and hunger invoke inevitable comparisons to Charles Dickens’ famed miser Ebenezer Scrooge. One could easily imagine Scrooge haughtily asking his nephew, “Is it my job to feed my neighbour’s child? I think not.” The spirit of Moore’s comments offend the many Canadians who do think that if their neighbour’s child goes hungry it ought to con-cern them, that our responsibility for each other goes beyond the walls of our own homes. The atti-tude behind such comments is far from admirable, and disappoint-ing to hear voiced by any elected offi cial. It’s a position far from the values of Canadians. Perhaps more disturbing from the Federal Ministry of Industry, however, is the comment that poverty is not Ottawa’s problem. Government at all levels should be concerned primarily with our well-being. The tens of thousands of chronic illnesses and early deaths, the human misery and indignity of poverty, should keep politicians up at night. Even if this human cost is ig-nored, the fi nancial burden on Canada should be more than enough to interest our federal representatives. Poverty in Can-ada – through increased costs of social services, decreased taxation revenue and decreased productiv-ity – is estimated to cost approxi-mately $80 billion, a total of over $2,000 per Canadian per year.

This includes an increased health expenditure of approximately $8 billion, which represents a huge cost to public coffers, not to men-tion the impact on our quality of life. How could this possibly be a problem that does not concern Ottawa? Moore’s suggestion that the federal government’s only role is to ensure that the economy is strong enough to employ people out of poverty also falls fl at. An annual waste of $80 billion im-pedes that effort, and should be enough to convince him to care. Elimination of poverty requires more than a growing economy; it requires a dedicated plan. When more jobs are available, some people’s living conditions improve quickly. However, the accompa-nied increase in cost of living can send some families into deeper poverty than before, a rising tide that swamps the smaller craft. And that continued and deepen-ing poverty costs us all dearly. As most provinces have realized (all but B.C. and Saskatchewan have introduced comprehensive poverty reduction plans), poverty doesn’t just go away on its own. Those provinces that have dedi-cated resources and meaningful measures have seen that invest-ment pay off in signifi cantly few-er people living in poverty, and decreased costs as a result. It was encouraging, however, to see Moore apologize quickly for his comments and recognition that such remarks impede the cause of fi ghting poverty. Apolo-gies, however, can be hollow. As hollow as unanimous commit-ments from parliament that don’t

result in change for the one in seven Canadian kids who contin-ue to live in poverty. The sincerity of Moore’s apology will be known, not by its speed, but its fruit. One commentator suggested a donation to the food bank would be a way for Moore to redeem himself in the wake of these com-ments. While that is always a fi ne act, we should hope to see a more upstream response from someone in a position such as Moore. Rather than a token gift, it would be far more meaningful for him to use the infl uence Ca-nadians have given him to try to create the conditions for less need of food banks, for fewer hun-gry children. This could include advocating within cabinet for an approach to poverty reduction that includes an affordable hous-ing strategy, child care programs, better wages, and effective sup-port for marginalized popula-tions. He could work with the prov-inces that have poverty reduction strategies to reinforce those ef-forts, and strive to convince those without such plans to create them. He could become a cham-pion for the economic and human arguments for the elimination of poverty. For now, all we have is an un-guarded moment followed by a hasty apology. If Moore, and his caucus colleagues, can move from Scrooge’s “Bah, Humbug” to Tiny Tim’s “God Bless Us, Every One,” then his Ebenezer moment could be an inspiration and a benefi t to all Canadians.

To the Editor:

What if you knew that you, a family mem-ber or friend might be living with demen-tia, but you didn’t know for sure? Where would you turn for help? Would you know what questions to ask your doctor? The reality is that only 20-50 per cent of people with dementia actually receive a diagnosis. Stopping people from get-ting answers are things like the stigma associated with dementia, the belief that memory problems are just a normal part of aging, or that nothing can be done to help people who are diagnosed, their fam-ily and caregivers. With no diagnosis, individuals and their families live with the disease not fully un-derstanding the changes happening or knowing where they can fi nd support. This Alzheimer Awareness Month, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan is encouraging you to learn more about the warning signs and the steps to getting a diagnosis as early as possible. A diagnosis of a dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease can be devastating, but it can also bring relief and it serves as a gateway to access-ing services. Getting that diagnosis helps you and your family understand the source and reason for the symptoms being experi-enced. A diagnosis can also link you to or-ganizations like the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan who can provide you with information, education and support dur-ing every stage of this disease. If you’re unsure about where to begin when getting a diagnosis, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan will be with you every step along the way. They can: Help you identify if the symptoms you’re expe-riencing could be dementia; Prepare you for your doctor’s visit; Provide individual and group support for the person with de-mentia, their caregiver and family; Con-nect you to other community agencies and services to help you live better with dementia. The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan is taking the steps to ensure that people throughout the province have access to their services. With Resource Centres in Regina, Saskatoon, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Swift Current and Wey-burn, more people can access their ser-vices in their local community. Anywhere in Saskatchewan, the Alzheimer Society can provide support through their toll-free Dementia Helpline and educational opportunities are available through Tele-health. We want to make sure that people in Saskatchewan are provided with the sup-port and tools to live better with demen-tia, wherever they live and wherever they are in the disease process, diagnosed or undiagnosed. No one expects dementia to be part of their life plan, but a diagnosis can help families and individuals take control of their lives, plan for the future, and make the best of a tough situation. This Alzheimer Awareness Month, take the fi rst steps towards a diagnosis: Know the 10 Warning Signs and your risk fac-tors; Contact the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan; Talk to your doctor or health care provider and encourage them to refer you to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan. Visit www.alzheimer.ca/sk or call the Dementia Helpline (1-800-263-3367) today.

Awareness keyMoore’s Ebenezer moment

To the Editor: Troubling news con-tinues to fl ow from Ukraine. Even on Christmas Day there was more violence. A prominent journalist and activist who has challenged the corrupt regime of Viktor Yanu-kovych was brutally beaten just outside Kyiv. The capital has been the focus of several weeks of demonstra-tions against the re-gime’s rejection of negotiations with the European Union and closer ties with the West. Instead, Yanukovych has shifted Ukraine more tightly under Rus-sian infl uence. Protest-ers have been subjected to violent attacks by the government’s secret police. Such disturbing de-velopments confi rm the worries identifi ed by our House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs which travelled to Ukraine in the spring of 2012

to assess that country’s diffi cult journey toward freedom, democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and a more successful market economy. The committee heard serious concerns about election irregularities, corruption, the misuse of the judicial system for political purposes (including the on-going imprisonment of politi-cal leaders), threats to freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and freedom of speech, religious and academic freedoms also under pressure, and a weak economy in serious trouble. There was some hope for better results when Yanukovych opened talks with the EU. But his sudden deal with Putin, his recurring in-tolerance toward peace-ful protests, and his in-timidation of the media have dashed any sense of optimism. Developments in Ukraine resonate in Canada. Since the fi rst Ukrainian immigrants

arrived on the prairies over 120 years ago, the number of Canadians who trace their family heritage to that coun-try has grown to close to 1.25-million, includ-ing 13 per cent of the population of my home province of Saskatch-ewan. Canada was among the fi rst countries to recognize the indepen-dence of Ukraine in 1991, and in 2004 we were quick to applaud the “Orange Revolu-tion” toward democra-cy. To assist in a tan-gible way, Canada sent a large delegation of “election observers” led by former Prime Minis-ter John Turner. But the heady days of the Orange Revolution are now in the past. Under Yanukovych, much hope has been lost. Going forward, in addition to being vocal about abuses (which will be on-going), what can be done to trans-form words of interna-tional condemnation into more effective ac-tion?

For one thing, Cana-da could help marshall a diplomatic effort engaging the United States and European countries to devise a set of “personal sanc-tions” aimed directly at Yanukovych, his key collaborators and their families. Care would need to be taken to avoid sanc-tioning Ukraine as a country or the Ukrai-nian people. The prob-lem is the Yanukovych regime and that must be the precise target. The objective would be to freeze their per-sonal money and assets outside Ukraine and prevent their foreign travel – sending a clear message of disapproval about abusive, anti-democratic behaviour. They should not be able to act against their own people with impunity and expect to avoid all consequences. The regime needs to know the world is watching, and cares.

Ralph Goodale, MP,Wascana, SK.

Leaving behind a positive legacy would be niceTo the Editor:

News articles and opinions will keep adding up over the weeks to the not-so-strong con-servative leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. My only hope, in this saga for his succession, is that Harper will make a great move towards

the people in need before leav-ing. The death of Nelson Mandela reminded us of Brian Mulroney’s huge contribution to end apart-heid in South Africa. Wouldn’t it be great to also remember Stephen Harper for something huge, like maybe be-ing the world leader in the fi ght

against poverty – here in Cana-da and around the world? It would be quite a turnover, I must agree, but it was also quite a turnover for Mulroney to stand against apartheid over 20 years ago.

More troubling news from Ukraine

In 2012, worldwide retail fur sales totalled $15.6 billion. Canada made up part of that total – the fur industry is an important part of the live-lihood of tens-of-thou-sands of Canadians, con-tributing over $800 mil-lion annually to our econ-omy and directly employ-ing 75,000 people – one-third of whom are aborigi-nal. In fact, some 250 families, or 750 individu-als and family members per federal riding are directly reliant on the fur trade for their income. Along with being a sig-nificant contributor to Canada’s economy, Canada’s fur industry helps manage wildlife populations under gov-ernment supervision. One of the ways it does this is through the practice of trapping, one of Canada’s oldest outdoor heritage activities. Including indig-enous peoples, there are about 50,000 commercial trappers in Canada. Trapping protects and restores species at risk, and it is helping to restore vulnerable populations of wildlife, including Canadian lynx and mar-tens. In accordance with international fur trade and conservation organi-zations, the Canadian government sets strict humane standards for all traps used by Canadian trappers. Every trap must be tested and approved for use under those stan-dards. The Fur Institute of Canada (FIC) is the offi-cial trap-testing agency for Canada’s provincial and territorial govern-ments, as well as the Government of Canada. It is also an umbrella organization for Canada’s fur industry. Members include groups that rep-resent all aspects of the fur industry, including trappers, fur farmers, wholesale fur dealers, fur manufacturers and pro-cessors, fur retailers, aboriginal organizations, animal welfare associa-tions and support indus-

tries. The FIC’s mission is to: “promote the sustainable and wise use of Canada’s fur resources.” Its values include: • The sustainable use and conservation of renewable resources. • The continued improvement of animal welfare through ongoing research and the develop-ment of national and international trapping standards. • The conservation and management of natural resources are based on scientific evidence and traditional knowledge. • Professionalism through continued educa-tion, licensing and research. • Respect for people, animals and the environ-ment. • Respect for tradition, heritage and culture. • Respect for the right of Aboriginal peoples to pursue their Aboriginal and treaty rights. Unfortunately, radical animal rights groups per-sist in their emotional and sensationalistic dis-torting of the truth, always with the aim of shutting down many of our outdoor heritage activities. Such attacks against people engaged in this completely legitimate livelihood are unwarrant-ed. Education is key to eradicating these misrep-

resentations and the FIC is working hard to do just that. As co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus, I was pleased to see the Outdoors Caucus Association of Canada and the Fur Institute come together to sponsor a most successful gala banquet in early December – an event that is sure to become an annual occur-rence. Together Members of Parliament and Senators of all political stripes dined on venison and then listened to pre-senters discussing the importance of guarding and promoting Canada’s heritage outdoor activi-ties – including those that contribute to the fur industry. These activities – hunting, fishing, trap-ping and sport shooting – are vital contributors to Canada’s economy and Canadians’ well-being. The Fur Institute of Canada is playing a posi-tive role in communicat-ing to the media the truth about Canada’s vital fur industry – a well-regulat-ed, environmentally con-scious, humane contribu-tor to our magnificent country and all its inhab-itants, including those with fur. I am proud to support the FIC and will continue my efforts to help this industry grow and prosper.

Separation and divorce can be a very painful and stressful event in the life of a family. But it can also be a welcome relief after months, and sometimes years, of conflict between the parents. This time of adjustment after a divorce can also be painful and stressful as each person in the family may need to adjust to a new identity. Children are innocent victims of their parent’s divorce and need special attention. When children are dealing with their parent’s divorce they often feel alone and help-less. The children may feel scared, sad, guilty and confused. They may hide their feelings from their parents because they are worried about the happiness of the par-ent or because they do not know how to express their feelings appropriately. Older children may ‘act out’ their emotions at home or at school. Behavioral problems may arise. Younger children may regress to former behaviors such as bed wetting or sucking their fingers. Children of all ages often blame themselves for their parent’s separa-tion. They feel that per-haps they were the cause of their parent’s divorce – Children feel they were “not good enough.” Children need to hear that divorce is an adult

problem and not their problem. The children had nothing to do with the separation and they could not prevent it from happening.Listening to the children is one way we can help them. Encourage the children to share their feelings. Providing reas-suring and honest answers to the children’s questions will aid them in the healing process. Remind the children that all families have some problems, but they will always be loved by both parents even if the par-ents are living in separate homes. Children often find themselves in a new fam-ily relationship as mom or dad are living with a new partner. This can be very be very difficult for children. Their home life has been disrupted and now they have a new par-ent figure and maybe some new siblings in their family. Grandparents can be stable role models during a separation and divorce.

They are often called upon to help with caring for the grandchildren. Grandparents also are experiencing many emo-tions at this time as they watch what is happening to their child and grand-children. For a parent, it is nor-mal to feel uncertain about how to give the children the right support through the divorce or separation. Support groups can be of great help to the family. They offer a safe place for par-ents and children to express their emotions. These support groups are often located in schools and churches within our community. The children need to be reminded over and over that they still have the same parents and they are loved by both parents. Everyone in the circle of care of these children can reassure the children that they are loved by God no matter what has hap-pened in their family. God is near to the broken hearted.

For twelve years I worked in bereavement support at a Funeral Home. I was employed as Parish Worker at a Lutheran Church. At present I am enjoying my role as homemaker, wife, mother and grandmoth-er.

Writer, Henri J. M. Nouwen once said, “The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing . . . not healing . . . not curing . . . that is a friend who cares.” Many times we see the families that we serve are surrounded by those kinds of friends, who show their support during the holiday season. However, when the New Year rolls in, often times those supportive friends feel their work is done.

To get us all through that January slump, we at Christie’s Funeral Home would like to invite you and your family to:

A New Year Serviceto Continue on our Journey Toward Healing

It has been a little over 20 years since Musica Intima was founded, and in that time the Vancouver group has become one of Canada’s most acclaimed choral ensembles. The group will be in Yorkton on February 1 as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series. Soprano Joanne Chapin is one of the newest mem-bers of the group, as this will be her first season tour-ing and performing with Musica Intima. She says she was always familiar with the group when she was in the choral world in Toronto, and auditioning was a priority when she came to Vancouver. The group is lead by the performers, Chapin says, something that has been a learning experience for her as a performer, as she now has more input in the way songs are performed, and there are pieces where she is the leader and provides the direction. “I’ve always worked under a artistic director and a conductor, so to go from that to a collective where there is no conductor and there is no artistic director has been very different. There have been so many exciting things about not having an artistic or a con-ductor, you get to be really involved in the choices for each piece, and that’s an exciting place to be,” Chapin says. Joining the group has been a smooth process, Chapin says, as the veteran members have helped her adapt to the new environment and the different responsibilities that come with being a part of Musica Intima. “It’s not the kind of group where you just show up, sing and go home. There’s a lot of work and a lot of personal energy that goes into it as well, because you want the organization to do well, and as a singer you get to make choices about a piece of music... I had a lot of singing experience but no experience leading a piece, so the singers who have been there a long time

have been helping me along as we go... It’s tapping into skills I’ve never used before, and forcing me to think about music in a totally different way,” Chapin says. The selection of pieces is wide ranging, from well known older music to contemporary Canadian compos-ers. Many of the contemporary pieces were commis-sioned by Musica Intima themselves, and Chapin says that it’s part of the group’s mandate to promote and support Canadian composers. “I think we all have to support Canadian music in any way we can. We need to support Canadian artists, we need to support Canadian composers, we need to support Canadian librettists and poets. How will we build a legacy as a culture if we’re not supporting and harvesting that talent?” This will be Chapin’s first time in town with Musica Intima, though it will be her third time in Yortkon overall. She says that touring is a wonderful opportu-nity and she’s looking forward to the going through the prairies with the group. “Our country is huge, and it’s hard to see every nook and cranny. The wonderful thing about singing and touring is that you do get to go to smaller towns and see. Every place has something totally different to offer and it’s an incredibly supported community... It’s exciting to go into a community and sing a concert for people and have them excited that we are there and hopefully move people.” Prairie Debut presents Musica Intima, part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series, on February 1 at 8 p.m. For ticket information call 306-783-8722 or visit york-tonarts.ca.

We have been experiencing a very cold holiday season but that has not put a damper on the friendly and giving spirit of the Good Spirit Acres family. The Community Association wishes to thank everyone who supported the Christmas Dinner, the food drive for the Salvation Army and the Christmas Greeting Board. We are happy to welcome two new baby boys to our Good Spirit Acres Community. Bryden Christopher was born on November 27, 2013, to Maranda Reilkoff-Leis and Christopher Leis. Lana and Shawn Steiner wel-comed Wyatt Keith to their family on December 15, 2013. Congratulations to both of these families. Everyone in the hamlet should have received a letter in December from Canada Post about the change in our postal code and mailing addresses. In case you are not aware, there was an error in that letter on the postal code. Our new postal code is: S0A 0L1 not what was printed in the letter. Volunteers from the community have been busy work-ing on both the community skating rink and the area snowmobile trails. The lack of snow and the extreme cold weather have slowed down progress but work will continue on them in January. Remember to ride safe. The Prairie Women on Snowmobiles will have a kick off banquet in Prince Albert on January 30, 2014, and begin their annual ride on January 31st from Prince Albert. Some of the towns they will visit on their 8 day trip are Martensville, Kindersley, Swift Current, Regina Beach and Humboldt. Even though they will not be in our area this year you can still make a donation to them in support of breast cancer at their website - www.prai-riewomen.ca. The 2014 Easter Seals Snowarama will be on February 8, 2014. Headquarters for this annual event will be at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton. Registration informa-tion is available at their web site – www.snowarama.ca or by phoning 1-306-782-2463 or 1-866-301-0031. Winter hours for the Good Spirit Market are 9:00 am to 7:00 p.m. every day. We are hoping for more snow in the New Year so that the snowmobiling season can begin.

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

While it might not have been the sweep of the High-way 10 Battle that the York-ton Terriers wanted head-ing into the post-Christmas schedule in the Saskatche-wan Junior Hockey League, the Yorkton Terriers will be content that home ice at the Farrell Agencies Arena has remained a fortress for an-other year as wins over the rival Millionaires and the Melfort Mustangs started the team off undefeated at home in 2014. Returning to action, the Terriers lost their fi rst game back 4-2 in Melville before beating the Mils back at home 3-1 and winning two straight games in a home and away series with the Mustangs to remain atop of the SJHL. Yorkton appeared to be

on the path to winning in enemy territory against the Mils in Game One of their New Years Series, getting the opening goal from Tayler Thompson to fi nish the fi rst period up 1-0. The hosts had other plans, tying the game in the second period before scoring three more markers in the third to take the home meeting 4-2 and continue the Mils surprising success in 2013/14. Adam Dibella, Tyson Predinchuk, Landon Far-rell and Colin Mospanchuk would score the goals for the Millionaires in the big home win for Jamie Fiesel’s team at the Horizon Credit Union Centre. The win would help Mel-ville stay on pace with the Terriers as the two teams continue to fi ght for fi rst place in the Viterra division as the push to the playoffs at the end of February is

well under way. On New Years Day it would be recent acquisition Brett Boehm who would be the difference maker as the top goalscorer would contin-ue his hot streak since mov-ing to the defending champs from the Flin Flon Bombers. Boehm would score in the second and third periods to provide the needed insur-ance after Cortlan Procter’s fi rst period goal to give the Terriers a 3-1 win over the Millionaires. After dispatching the Mils, the Terriers started off the weekend off right with a 5-2 win over the Mustangs on Friday evening. Five differ-ent goalscorers led the way for the Terriers in what was a classic team effort from the balanced Yorkton ros-ter. Kale Thomson posted 32 saves to move to 2-1 in his fi rst week back before sit-ting out in the second game

of the back to back with the Mustangs to give backup Ri-ley Medves a start and take some well earned rest. Medves would make the most of his opportunity in Melfort, shutting out the Mustangs for nearly the entire game before a late goal with 1:35 left in the game prevented the backup from getting a shutout in a rare start due to Thomson’s workhorse presence in be-tween the pipes. Medves was working with the lead for essentially the entire game in the 24 save win as Boehm extended his scoring streak to three games with a goal 32 sec-onds into the fi rst period for his 17th goal of the season. Derek Falloon and Tayler Thompson scored the Ter-riers two other goals in the 3-1 victory.

Terriers remain in first with post New Years’ wins


The Yorkton Harvest have a slightly longer layoff than the rest of the teams in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League as the struggling Harvest don’t open post-Christmas play until January 11 after fall-ing to below .500 and the fi nal playoff spot in the league during a December slump. After a solid start under fi rst year head coach Dan Cross, the Harvest went into the Christmas break with a 1-6-2-1 record that turned what was look-ing like a plus .500 record during the fi rst half of the season into a 9-12-4-2 fi n-ish before the holidays that has the team clinging onto a playoff spot and fi ve points back from the seventh place Saskatoon Contacts. With top end players like Dakota Odgers, Lynnden Pastachak, Nicolas Pouliot and Ethan Bear leaving Midget for the Junior ranks a Harvest team that fi nished strong to 2012/13 before bowing out in fi ve games to

the Regina Pat Canadians has failed to continue prom-ising play at the beginning of the season with depth issues and injuries coming into play. Before the break, Cross pointed to the Harvest’s is-sues with penalties during recent weeks as one of the continuing factors in a long slump. “We just keep taking pen-alties, and sometimes those early penalties can turn into frustration ones later on in the game which really hurt us because right now we are still playing neck and neck with teams fi ve on fi ve,” said Cross. Those struggles with keeping teams out of the box has contributed to the team’s -8 goal differential this season, and while it may be easy to point at the negative when looking at the Harvest before the take to the ice for their fi nal 17 games there have also been plenty of positives to talk about still. For one, the Harvest’s nine point lead on the Swift Current Legionnaires should all but assure them

of a playoff position. The rest of pack just seems too far out of the race to beat out the Harvest, with the Notre Dame Hounds the only team outside of the playoffs that seems to be improving and even they are ten points back of the Harvest. Individual players have

also seen success this sea-son as many of the Harvest players have made appear-ances in Junior games as call ups, including bluelin-er Turner Ottenbreit who spent a stint in Saskatoon with the WHL’s Blades this December.

Harvest look to turn things around in final stretch

DAN CROSS looks to turn things around in the second half of his first head coaching season with the Yorkton Harvest. Last year the Harvest came out roaring in the second half of the season to even-tually finish in first place, something that Cross hopes can be repeated with the team sitting in the eighth spot.


Cont. from Page 13

The three wins in the first week of 2014 pushed the Terriers point total to 51 points which has them one point above the Millionaires and three points ahead of Kramer Division teams in the Kindersley Klippers and the Humboldt Broncos for first place in the league. In the Sherwood Division the race is more competitive, but the teams are far off the class that is in the Viterra and Kramer Divisions as the division leading Nipawin Hawks would be in fourth place if they were in the Viterra/Kramer division races. In a new playoff format and with a significant home ice advantage compared to their record on the road, the Terriers will be focusing on locking up home ice advantage for the entire playoffs over their final stretch. Last year that mis-sion was failed late as the Terriers finished first in the Sherwood Conference under the old two divi-sion format, but could not edge out the Humboldt Broncos who rode the acquisition of Alex Forsberg at the trade deadline to first in the league to get home ice advantage

in the Canalta Cup final. This season it is the Terriers who are making big splashes in the trade market as it is being rumoured that after adding Brett Boehm for his final Jr. season from the Flin Flon Bombers that the Terriers are going to be adding a player from the BCHL before the weekend. At the time of writing nothing was official, but The News Review has gotten word that the potential move will be made in the coming days should the Terriers add another piece. Yorkton will now spend the next two weeks on the road, playing in Battlefords, Kindersley, Flin Flon, and Nipawin before hosting the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Tuesday, January 21. That stretch will prove to be a big test for the Terriers, who are usually unbeatable at home and can drop points on the road as a downfall. If they want to stay in front of the pesky underdog Millionaires for first place in the Viterra Division, the Dogs will have to mark their territory out-side of the Farrell Agencies Arena. With a chance at home ice advan-tage, this road trip could decide the division title.

The November ath-lete played on the Sr. Boys Volleyball team. He is in grade 12, but has played volleyball since Grade 9 at SHHS. He showed leadership as the captain of the team. He was a setter on the team and was the #1 ball crusher with his left power hits. The November cab athlete of the month goes to Jaedon Pellatt. The November female athlete of the month is in Grade 12 and was a stand out on defense for the Lady Saints soc-cer team. She is very sure footed and strong. She played sweeper (central defense) on the soccer team and could often be heard direct-ing traffic at the back. Even though she played defense all year, she was able to score five goals and added anoth-er five assists. We will miss her quiet leader-ship and her intensity to play the game. She has also been a key member of the Lady Saints volleyball team for her entire High school career.She always gives 100

per cent effort in all practices and games. She is a great passer and has one of the strongest and consis-tent serves on the team Playing the position of Power hitter she cer-tainly has power being one of the hardest hit-ters to have ever played for the Lady Saints.She helped lead the team to a Conference Championship this year and advance to Provincials for the sec-ond year in a row. The Cab Clothing Female athlete of the month for November is Morgan Shymanski The December male athlete of the month played volleyball for the past four years at Sacred Heart. He played the middle posi-tion and was an aggres-sive blocker at the net with his intimidating long hair. He is always focused and determined to play hard. He was a strong leader on the team and will be missed next year. He won the defensive player of the year award on the foot-ball team and is now putting in work on the boys’ basketball team. The Cab December ath-

lete of the month is Jared Buzinski. This young lady is second to none playing midfield for the Lady Saints soccer team. She is for sure one of the best two way players in the province - adept at offensive and solid as a rock on defense. She has a knack of reading plays and her anticipa-tion is one of the rea-sons she causes so many turnovers. She sees the field so well and is an excellent playmaker - as is evi-denced by her 13 assists this season. She also scored 11 times. She won the defensive MVP award for the Lady Saints soccer team and helped lead her team to a 2A Provincial cham-pionship. She is very mature and is a great leader. Captain of the team. On the Sr. girls vol-leyball team this ath-lete was the embodi-ment of leadership! She led through her actions on the court but more importantly she was an amazing leader off the court. She always had words of encourage-ment for her teammates and she often passed on her knowledge to the

younger players. She led the Lady Saints offence. She played the position of power hitter and led the team in spike kills. She also led the team defensively. She was one of the best passers on the team and she loved to challenge the opposing teams hitters and dig anything they hit at her. She was also a key reason the Lady Saints advanced to Provincials for the sec-ond year in a row. The Cab Female Athlete of the Month is Kristen Jonassen.

Sacred Heart High School Cab Clothing Athletes of the Month

CAB CLOTHING ATHLETES OF THE MONTH for November and December were named by Sacred Hear after the Christmas break. Kristen Jonassen (far left, bottom photo), Jared Buzinski (right, top photo), and Jaedon Pellatt (far right) were presented with awards from Aaron Kienle of Cab Clothing.

The young Harvest can also point to the emergence of young guns in Tanner Jeannot and Tyler Kreklewich as posi-tives leading into the final stretch. Jeannot has exploded onto the scene with 23 points in 27 games while Kreklewich has 10 goals and has paired nicely on a forward line with his brother Jaden, who has 20 points. If those main scoring contributors along with leader Chase McKersie can up their production over the final 17 games of the regular season the Harvest should turn things around. Rookie goaltender Carter Phair has also been a bright spot. In 13 games the youngster from Carnduff has posted a 6-5-1 record with 2.75 goals against aver-age and a .914 save percentage. Cross has also given Phair plenty of praise throughout the season, mentioning on separate occasions that Phair has “Went above and beyond anything we could have expected of him.” Looking ahead to the rest of the sched-ule, the Harvest will have plenty of opportunity to play catch up with the two clubs ahead of them in the playoff stand-ings. Five of the Harvest’s final 17 games

are against the Saskatoon Contacts and the Harvest’s rivals from the 2012/13 season in the Pat C’s. Regina is eight points above Yorkton in the standings, while the Contacts are only five points ahead and play the Harvest in the first game of the final stretch. The Harvest will also have a much easier schedule heading forward as they will play a majority of their final slate against non-playoff teams. Six of their final 17 games are against teams that are out of the playoffs. If the Harvest can make the most of those meetings, and not allow the non-playoff teams into the race with losses to cause a drastic change in the standings, they should be able to improve their record come playoff time. Heading into the final 17 games the Yorkton Harvest are in a very similar position to the standings of the 2012/13 Harvest team that rode a hot start to fin-ish in fifth place. While that kind of climb is unlikely, things could be a lot worse in head coach Dan Cross’ first sea-son behind the bench. As long as his Harvest squad can scrape together a couple of wins to turn things around it looks as if Yorkton will be playing playoff hockey in the SMAAAHL for a second straight year.

Harvest hoping for 2014 wins

LOCAL CURLERS READY FOR PLAYDOWNS AFTER SASK TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP- Yorkton’s Team Marteniuk began their quest to qualify for the 2014 Men’s Tankard Championship over the weekend, falling short at the Sask Curling Tour Championship with mixed results. The team will now compete in Regional Playdowns this weekend.

On Tuesday Hockey Canada fi nally released the list of players that will be representing Canada at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Rus-sia and like any Ca-nadian who cares way too much about sports, I am going to give my thoughts on each selec-tion and if Hockey Can-ada’s directors got their pick right or wrong.

Forwards:

Sidney Crosby (Pitts-burgh): This one is a no brainer, Crosby is the best player in the world and scored the winning goal in the 2010 Van-couver Olympics Gold Medal Game. Crosby will once again likely add to his already Hall of Fame caliber resume in Russia. Jonathan Toews (Chi-cago): Coming off a Stanley Cup win with the Blackhawks, Toews is arguably the best two way forward on Team Canada. Patrice Bergeron (Bos-ton): Might not be the fl ashiest player, but once again Bergeron has been a winner ev-erywhere he has went and is the type of player Hockey Canada de-sires. Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim): On a team loaded with centers it might be easy to forget that Getzlaf is currently fourth in the NHL with 49 points.John Tavares (New York Islanders): After nearly singlehandedly lifting the Islanders to a playoff run in the 2013 season, Tavares will take his reputation as a clutch Canadian per-former from the World Juniors into the Olym-pic stage this year. As good of a shooter as he is a passer, expect Ta-vares to make a move to the wing even if he is the highest scorer on Team Canada not named Sid-ney Crosby.Matt Duchene (Colo-rado): Duchene is likely the weakest center on the Team Canada ros-

ter, but with the center-man role being the most loaded position to pick from for the team selec-tion process, Duchene making the team over veteran Joe Thornton speaks volumes of Duch-ene’s improvement this season under new head coach Patrick Roy. Patrick Sharp (Chi-cago): Elite scorer who shares a team with one of the top centers in Toews. Sharp has a knack for big goals as shown during the Blackhawks Cup run last year and he will be expected to produce more goals on one of Canada’s top lines. Chris Kunitz (Pitts-burgh): Would Kunitz be on the Team Canada roster if he didn’t share a line with Sidney Cros-by? Probably not, but that really doesn’t mat-ter. As long as Kunitz can fi nish chances set up for him by world class playmakers, nobody will complain that he is on the roster. At the end of the day, Kunitz’ numbers have him more than deserving of being on this team. Jamie Benn (Dallas): On the international ice surface you need speed and skill on the wings. Jamie Benn has both of those things and is one of the lone bright spots on the Stars this sea-son. Expect some high-light reel moments out of Benn in the tourna-ment.Patrick Marleau (San Jose): Of the forwards, Marleau might be one of the more questionable decisions made on play-ers who were put onto the roster. With Claude Giroux and Martin St. Louis both off the ros-ter despite being more dynamic forwards, Canada is putting a lot of faith on Marleau be-ing equally as effective on the larger ice sur-face as he is during the NHL regular season. A noted choker in the playoffs, Marleau is one of the few players who is perhaps less deserv-

ing than the players who won’t be heading to Russia. Steven Stamkos (Tam-pa Bay): Everyone is assuming Stamkos will play through his injury and whether or not he can come back might be what divides Canada from being one of the favourites to win Gold, to being the outright number one contender at the tournament. Stamkos has became the best shot in hockey over the past four years, and his presence will be especially welcomed on the powerplay where he will be able to utilize even more space to get open shots than he has in the NHL. Corey Perry (Anaheim): One of the Top 20 scor-ers in the league this season and a player who has consistently been an elite scorer his en-tire career, Perry’s long history of performing for Canada was going to get him on this team one way or another. Rick Nash (NY Ranger): Yes, Nash isn’t the same Rick Nash as before he left Columbus to sign with the Rangers. That doesn’t change the fact that Rick Nash might be Canada’s most patriotic player of his era. Miss-ing the playoffs nearly

every year with the Blue Jackets, there are more World Champion-ship moments than you can list involving Nash. That commitment and dedication to the World Championship team, and his skilled hands and offensive IQ earn him his keep on this team. Even if it didn’t for players like Thorn-ton and St. Louis. Jeff Carter (L.A.): When Carter was left off the roster in 2010, it was a controversial move. Now when he is kept on the roster it might be a worse move. Martin St. Louis is still in top form despite his age and like-ly deserved a shot on the team and as mentioned before Claude Giroux is amongst the top scor-ers in the league with a game suited for the larger ice surface. Cart-er will likely be the last forward on the depth chart, but while it is a nice story for him being included on the team it was at the expense of a more than deserving Canadian in St. Louis and a more skilled play-er in Giroux.

Defence:

Shea Weber (Nashville): One of many players who are currently ig-

nored by playing in smaller US markets, Weber will get to show off that he is one of the best blueline players in hockey with the world watching. Duncan Keith (Chica-go): Keith and Weber are likely Canada’s top two defenseman and will be counted on to provide big minutes for a group that is weaker on the backend of the roster compared to the loaded forward group. Jay Bouwmeester (St. Louis): Steady presence on the blueline, won’t cost you too many pen-alties or goals. Bouw-meester won’t sell too many Canada jerseys with his name on the back, but he will have an improtant role on one of Canada’s top three defensive pairings. Alex Pietrangelo (St. Louis): Don Hitchcock has the Blues as one of the best defensive teams in hockey right now, so it is no surprise to see two players from St. Louis on the roster. Pietrangelo is likely the more useful of the two and is younger than Bouwmeester. Drew Doughty (L.A.): When you have a two way defenseman like Doughty potentially looking for ice time, you know you have a good team. I can see Doughty partnered on the second pairing as the offensive presence with either Pietrangelo or Bouw-meester who are more defense only blueliners. Marc-Edouard Vlasic (San Jose): A lot of peo-ple wanted Brent Sea-brook in this spot, but I think Vlasic is more suited to playing the in-ternational game than

Seabrook at this stage of Seabrook’s career. PK Subban (Montreal): It would have been a travesty to not have Subban’s talents at the Olympics. His skating, puckhandling, and shot could all be dangerous. He just might only play on the second powerplay unit and still be danger-ous for the Canadians. Dan Hamhuis (Van-couver): Like Vlasic, Hamhuis is likely bet-ter suited to play on the international surface than Seabrook, who has lost a step over the past couple of seasons. Don’t expect much ice time for the Canuck, who along with Vlasic will likely be the 7/8 defensemen on the depth chart.

Goalies:

Carey Price (Montreal): With Luongo strug-gling, 2014 might be the year of Carey Price who has by default became Canada’s best goalie after years of having to deal with criticism from the Montreal media. At the very least, he and Luongo will be used to playing under massive pressure whoever starts once the tournament begins. Roberto Luongo (Van-couver): Hate it or love it, Canada doesn’t win Gold in Vancouver with-out Luongo in 2010. That alone will give him a chance at being the starter if he is fully healthy and in form.Mike Smith (Phoenix): Smith deserves this spot and he likely won’t be called into action with Price and Luongo both the de facto #1 and #2 goalies.

Shining a light on LED myths and factsIt’s time to set the record

straight. As the govern-ment transitions out incan-descent light bulbs, there are many misconceptions that need to be addressed about energy-efficient options available – in par-ticular LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), the new-est kid on the block. According to experts in the lighting department at The Home Depot, the follow-ing misperceptions are the most common.

Myth #1: They only work for basic fixtures

Fact: There are LEDs for every need, including

many household applianc-es, indoor flood lighting, decorative bulbs (chande-liers) and outdoor fixtures. LED bulbs can also be as small as 2 millimetres making them ideal for fit-ting into hard-to-reach and compact areas.

Myth #2: They pro-duce bright blue and blasting light

Fact: Colour tempera-ture describes the visual warmth or coolness of a light source and LED lights are available in a wide range, from a bright light or a mellow glow, making them suitable for any room.

They also offer dimming and colour changing abili-ties – whether you want to create a natural atmosphere in the bathroom or elegant, ambient lighting in your dining room.

Myth #3: They are too expensive

Fact: LEDs have an incredibly long life, lasting up to 25,000 hours (22+ years) – compared to the lifespan of an incandescent light bulb, which is approx-imately 1,000 hours. Based on lifespan and typical electrical usage, an incan-descent light bulb will cost homeowners about $8.00

per year to run, while an LED bulb comes in at only $1.75.

Myth #4: They are hard to find in stores

Fact: Retailers across Canada, including The Home Depot, carry hun-dreds of LED products to meet all your household lighting needs. With well-known brands like Cree and Philips, the bulbs are widely available.

Myth #5: Switching to LEDs requires changing existing fixtures

Fact: All LEDs current-ly on the market are designed to fit all types of existing sockets. They work in standard bases that are common with incan-descent and halogen instal-lations. In most cases, they are the same size if not slightly smaller than the bulbs they replace and do not pose any difficulties when making the switch.

Happy New Year to all from YBID Board and Managers.

As we begin 2014 the door has been opened a bit into what we can expect as major issues.

One major item for 2014 will be the start of discussions within the City about the reconstruction of Broadway. We were informed from Mayor Maloney last year that if federal funds were available we could be moving forward with this project. The YBID will be holding a meeting by invitation of our YBID Members along both sides of Broadway. This meeting will be held in January and City Offi cials will be invited to attend and provide background information to you. This will be a very important meeting where you will hear about what the City plans are to this point. There is no question there will be some disruption to business, but with some planning perhaps we can make it as painless as possible. There could be some changes to sewer and water lines into some businesses and that will mean costs. So when we send you your invitation please make an effort to attend or have someone attend for you. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

YBID has been paying the City of Yorkton $100,000 annually for the street lights we have on Broadway in the YBID and the business side streets for several years. With support from the Board of Directors we are attempting to pay off this debt one year early. The hope will be to then begin to pass along those dollars into the Broadway project and help out where we can.

There is also a new report out as of December 2013 from the City reviewing the Development Costs associated with property in the city. The focus was to review the need for additional lands for the city taking into consideration the potential impact of mining, residential, commercial and industrial development. YBID suggests you check out the city web page and have a look, it could affect your business plans.

As usual the Board will pass the Annual Budget and when that is done we will publish it here for all to see.

Have a great 2014 and thanks for supporting your YBID and its projects.
