NDP calls for comprehensive drainage planBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer
The Saskatchewan NDP has been touring the area, looking at what has been happening with flood recovery and what needs to happen in the case of wet weather in the future. Buckley Belanger, MLA for Athabasca and critic for the Water Security Agency, and Cathy Sproule, MLA for Saskatoon-Nutana and critic for Agriculture were in the city to talk to peo-ple about what they want to see happen. “We wanted to get out here and put our feet on the ground to take anoth-er look. I was here two weeks ago with our leader Cam Broten, and we just want to be sure we can be as constructive as possi-ble in examining the
result of the rain issue,” Sproule says. One of the big problems they’re seeing and hear-ing about is drainage. Sproule says the problem is that there is no plan for drainage in the area, and she says that’s compound-ing many of the problems farmers are facing due to flooding in the region. “We need to see a com-prehensive program, especially in this area. For so many years, we’re seeing that wet is the new norm. This kind of rain-fall is going to be usual rather than unusual, and if that’s the case we need to see a government that’s willing to move forward with a comprehensive plan,” Sproule says. Belanger agrees, and adds that’s it’s clear that an ad hoc approach is not going to be effective for
people in the region as they deal with wet weath-er now and into the future. He says that what they want to see, and what the people they spoke to want to see, is leadership on the drain-age issue in the province. “It’s important to come out here during the crisis, but the NDP doesn’t want to walk away from this thing. What we want to see is some definitive leadership from this gov-
ernment, and if they don’t do it, we want people out there to know that they have been dragging their feet, they have not been providing any kind of leadership to the effect that people are happy with how things are occurring out here. That’s why it’s important that we’re here during the recovery stage, to make sure we hear what people have to say, we learn from them, and we hold this
government to account. So far, all we’re hearing is frustration, anger, and a total lack of leadership,” Belanger says. The Water Security Agency has the informa-tion which would be vital to finding a solution, Belanger says, but he believes they need more resources in order to implement drainage solu-tions in the area. He also says that several govern-ment agencies need to work together on this issue, since the excess of water affects a wide vari-ety of different areas, such as highways and agriculture. Sproule also adds that inappropriate drainage needs to be cracked down on, as well as having rewards for people who handle drainage on their land properly. She says
that the water systems are continually under attack now from the wet weather, but also from the added problem of inappropriate drainage sending more water their way. They also argue that it is a problem that can’t be handled on the RM level, since it’s a problem that’s much bigger than the bor-ders of each municipality and it’s impossible to effectively counteract without taking the larger province into account. Belanger concludes that the leadership needs to come from the top down, and that until there’s a comprehensive plan in place, it will be the cause of a great deal of frustration on the part of individual farmers, whose livelihood is at stake.

RCMP seek Sask. public assistance
Murder Suspect Sought
RCMP have been busy and are requesting the public’s assistance in a number of cases including a the apprehension of a man wanted for second-degree murder. Yukon RCMP are on the look out for a suspect they believe may be in British Columbia, Alberta or Saskatchewan. Michael Thomas MacPherson, who may also go by the names of Michael Pound, Michael Proud or Steven Price, was charged in connection with the death of John Tanner Sinclair, 27, who died of stab wounds in the early morning hours of
July 15, 2014, in Whitehorse, Yukon. MacPherson is believed to have fled the Territory. He is known to have spent time and to have contacts in all three western prov-inces. He is described as a 32-year-old Caucasian male, 5’10” tall (178 cm), and approximately 220 lbs (100kg). He has brown hair and blue eyes. MacPherson has several tattoos on both arms, chest and both calves. He is known to colour or high-light his hair. His teeth are reported to be in visi-bly very poor condition. He may be driving a red, older model Toyota
Corolla, possibly with sev-eral dents. It may be car-rying Yukon license plate AVR55 or HHS50.
MacPherson is believed to be a drug user. He is considered armed, dan-gerous and violent and should not be approached. If anyone has any infor-mation regarding the whereabouts or activitiesof Michael MacPherson, they are urged to call 9-1-1 or their local police immediately. The tele-phone number for Whitehorse RCMP is 867-667-5555.
Assault Suspect Sought
In a separate incident police are looking for a male suspect charged with sexual assualt. On May 11, 2014, Wadena RCMP received a complaint from a health care worker of a female youth (under the age of 16) who was the victim of a sexual assault. After Wadena RCMP conducted an investigation, Vincent Alex Desjarlais (DOB: 1965-07-30) of Kylemore, Saskatchewan was charged with the follow-ing offences: • sexual assault, con-trary to Section 271 of the Criminal Code (2 counts) • sexual interference of a person under the age of 16, contrary to Section 151 of the Criminal Code
• procuring miscar-riage, contrary to Section 287 (1) of the Criminal Code • assault, contrary to Section 266 of the Criminal Code Investigators have been unable to locate Vincent Desjarlais and believe that he is actively attempt-ing to evade police in Manitoba and/or Saskatchewan. He has connections in the Long Plain First Nation in Manitoba and Punnichy, Yellow Quill First Nation, Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan; however, he could be anywhere in either Manitoba or Saskatchewan. There is a warrant for his arrest. Desjarlais is described as 48-year-old, aboriginal male with black hair (may have a pony tail) and brown eyes. He is 5 foot, 10 inches, 176 pounds, with a medium build. He has several tattoos: right outer arm, circle with feathers extending down; left arm, eagle head and flower with red centre; left forearm, daggers into a circle; right forearm, various images including a heart and the text “Fuck You”; neck, small red star with black outline; right shoulder, First Nations male with long hair, an
eagle and feathers. It is not typical practice for the RCMP to issue media releases relating to sexual assault, especially when the incident involves a youth. However, efforts to locate Vincent Desjarlais have not been successful.
Impersonating An Officer
On July 18, Langenburg RCMP received a com-plaint of male making a vehicle stop while posing as an undercover RCMP officer on highway #10 near the Manitoba bor-der. On July 19 at approxi-mately 7:00 pm, RCMP from Langenburg arrested a male in the Calder dis-trict and charged him with Impersonating a Police Officer contrary to Section 130 of the Criminal Code. The arrest was made without incident. RCMP seized clothing and an imitation police crested notebook which had been used in a previous inci-dent. A number of tips were received from the public that aided the police in locating and apprehending the subject. The man will be appear-ing at Esterhazy Provincial Court in early August.

A local student wants to make an impact, and she’s working to connect Canada with the world’s largest trading power. Nikéra Toma has been selected to go on a trade mission to China as part of Global Vision’s Junior Team Canada. The inspiration to join the program came from four gradu-ates in Canora who went on a similar trip last year. She says that their example convinced her to put in an application on her own, because she could see how it changed their lives. “When they came back, they had changed and grew as peo-ple, and it was noticeable. They kept talking about it and saying I should join, so I did and I don’t regret it,” Toma says. She says that it has already been a worthwhile experience,
as she has learned about Canada-China relations and about how to network and make connections. While the goal of the trip itself is to make connec-tions for local business and forge partnerships between the two countries, it’s also about giving recent graduates like Toma important skills they can use in their careers. “I think it’s going to give me the skills I need that are critical in real life. Public speaking, net-working and presenting, I think it’ll be a big jump into the pro-fessional world.” Her goal for the trip is to expose Canadian brands and businesses to the Chinese mar-ket first, as well as learn about trade into China. With China
being a major world economy, she says that trips like these are vital for continuing trade. “We support each other, we need each other to live they way we do now, and we live in a global community so we need to get everyone together.” Toma needs help to fund the trip, and hopes that she will be able to represent area business-es on this trip. She can be con-tacted at [email protected].

August 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week. There is scientific evi-dence that shows that breast milk is the best food for babies during the early period of their lives. There are benefits for the baby, the mother, the family, the community and the environment. Breast milk is served from the original contain-er and is portable, and mothers’ milk does not need heated or cooled before a baby can take it. Babies who are breast-fed have enhanced nutri-tion, immunological pro-
tection, and increased growth and development. There will also be less likelihood of allergies and tooth decay. Babies who are breastfed tend to have a healthier development, with long-term positive effects on cognitive and intellectual development. Science has shown that these babies tend to have higher IQs as adults than formula fed babies. Breastfeeding is also the perfect time to bond with a new baby and to foster the development of an attachment relation-ship. Mothers also enjoy physical, emotional and psychological benefits from breastfeeding their babies. There is decreased
risk that women who have breastfed will devel-op breast or ovarian can-cer later in life. Breastfeeding can help to reduce levels of stress for the mother. One of the most impor-tant primary preventive measures a mother can take to protect the health of her baby is to breast-feed exclusively for the first six months. Being supported by their fami-lies, friends, communi-ties, healthcare providers, and the public helps mothers to start and con-tinue to breastfeed.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area have been recog-nized as one of the top three agencies in the country for providing volume of service to the local community. Irma Van de Bon-Nichol, Executive Director of BBBS of Yorkton and Area says that the credit goes out to the communities, because it’s the differ-ent communities in the area that makes it pos-sible to do the world that they do. She says that the different com-munities in the region that they serve are the reason behind the suc-cess the organization has, whether it’s people volunteering or sup-porting the major fund-raising initiatives. “We belong to a really awesome set of commu-nities in the area that are really supportive of ensuring that our chil-dren have a brighter future... Everything we do is community
based.” Continued support means that the region believes in what BBBS is doing and what they’re accomplishing, and Van de Bon-Nichol says that they want to show people that they are making a difference in the lives of the area’s kids. She extends thanks to everyone who helps spread the word about BBBS and helps them continue to do the work that they do. “Thanks to all the media sources, because they show people that there’s a need, and how that need can be met.” Van de Bon-Nichol says that another goal is to provide a positive volunteer experience, and she says this is something that they accomplish for the many people who work with the organization. She says that while it’s about the kids, every-one involved benefits. She notes that one of their big success areas is in volunteer opportu-nities for teenagers. She notes that it helps
them develop leader-ship skills and choose their careers, and it’s making a big difference in their lives. “High school students are coming to us for volunteer opportuni-ties, because they’re seeing the benefits in their peers.” The goal for this area is the goal for every BBBS organization, Van de Bon-Nichol says, and that’s to serve kids. She says that they’re proud of what they have accomplished in Yorkton, but their goal is to serve every kid who needs it. That’s why they’re always looking for mentors, and people who want to get involved they can call 306-782-3471 or visit www.bigbrothers-bigsisters.ca/yorkton. “There are lots of children across Canada waiting for a mentor, and we do everything that we can to ensure that children from this area are served through mentoring, and there are still children on wait lists.”

RESTORE – Yorkton’s firefighters have been long time supporters of Habitat from Humanity, working on all four builds in the city, most often seen on the roof putting down shingles. With the ReStore, they’re helping out there too, unloading a ship-ment of All Weather Windows that arrived recently, close to $200,000 worth of inventory, available for sale 36 per cent of the retail price.

Don’t drink and drive – or boat Submitted by CSBC – Operation Dry Water
Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-relatedfatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcohol relateddeaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year two of aninitiative called “Operation Dry Water”. Its goal is to discourage this dangerouspractice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the August 2 long weekend is theperfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating.Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects ofalcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC and its partners would like, through this initiative, to raise attentionto the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drinkand boat,” says Jean Murray, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating,and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can becharged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canadaif your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This means you can becharged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to,upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. But that’s not all; it can getworse. Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affectyour automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended theHighway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or con-trol of a vessel”. As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above.05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension. Should the per-son’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional sus-pension of up to one year can be applied. Operation Dry Water is aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related acci-dents and fatalities on the water while fostering a stronger and more visible deter-rent to alcohol use while boating. The end goal? To achieve safer and more enjoy-able recreational boating. During the August 2 long weekend, a number of Police agencies will be offeringthe media the chance to ride along while they conduct on-water vessel safetychecks. Please contact your local detachment to see if they are offering this oppor-tunity. This initiative is made possible through support of Transport Canada’s Office ofBoating Safety.

Sask. boom keeps on booming
I guess the bottom line is, times have changed and like it or not, we have to change with them. Ultimately though, com-mon sense should prevail and as parents we need to do all that we can to ensure the safety and well being of our chil-dren. I think an arrest is pretty harsh and that maybe a conversation and a little help would have sufficed but nevertheless, a South Carolina mom has been arrested because of her parenting skills or lack thereof. Reportedly unable to find daycare for her nine-year-old daughter, Debra Harrell was bringing her daughter to work to play on a laptop. When the laptop was stolen she instead opted to send her daughter to a nearby park with a cell phone. For two days the girl played with about 40 other kids until she was asked by an adult where her mother was. When she replied “at work,” the adult called the police who declared the girl “aban-doned” and subsequently arrested her mother. I read a lot of the comments that followed this article and not surprisingly, there is a mix. For the most part though, people recall back to when they were nine or around that age. Most remember heading out after breakfast and only coming back
to maybe grab a bite dur-ing the day. As kids we played at the park, met up with friends, went swimming, rode bikes and basically stayed out of our parents hair until supper time. I know I did. It was just what kids did. But things were different then, or so it seemed. We didn’t hear so much about abductions and the poten-
tial for things to go wrong. So does this make Debra Harrell a criminal? I’m thinking not. She sounds more like a mom who is trying to make ends meet the best she can and more like a woman who made a poor decision than a “bad guy.” Rather than arrest her, why not help her access some kind of a program that may best serve her and her daughter? It’s sad that things have gone the way they have in many respects. When you see kids getting left in hot cars and crimes like what just happened in Calgary – grand parents and grand child being taken from their home and murdered in broad day-light, as a society and as a parent you are forced to become a little more protective and reactive. Times have definitely changed. While we like to recall “what was” the same just isn’t true anymore and we have to accept that.

The way I see it...
Target’s Canadian expansion has not gone well. Launching amid great fanfare a couple years ago, the American retail giant has mostly lost money in their attempt to capture the retail market in the country. Since it’s always fun to speculate on what they did wrong, let’s try to figure out why Target has not worked. The problem comes down to expectations versus reality. In launching their brand in Canada, their message was largely ignored. Customers knew what they wanted, and that was Target in the US, except closer to their house. That meant prices that were cheaper than what the company was ever going to deliver in this country, and when they did not see that, people also did not see any other reason to con-tinue paying attention to the store, and now the chain is struggling. In a way, the expectations of consumers were never realistic to begin with. Stuff is just cheaper south of the border, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for flimsier reasons. For the most part, people expect that, because it’s just reality, even if they spend a lot of time complaining about it and will avoid certain products if the price difference is too extreme – after all, it’s not like we don’t know when a company is try-ing to jack up prices for no good reason, and we can
easily check what everything costs south of the border now that the internet exists. However, when a com-pany is mostly marketed as a price leader, and has brand recognition as one that delivers cheap products, you begin to expect something the eventual store had never intended to deliver. The result was a chain that was never going to be as cheap as the customers wanted. That might not have been a problem if they at least delivered prod-ucts the customers wanted anyway, or gave a reason to switch stores and change spending habits. What Target delivered was not actually all that new and exciting however. The products were mostly fine, the
stores had a nice enough layout and an appealing color scheme. But it’s not really enough, there’s no reason to go out of your way to go to a Target store. There’s nothing wrong with it so much as there’s not much of a hook. In setting up their Canadian expan-sion, they neglected to actually separate themselves from the retail crowd. They did not have price as the big selling point as expected, but they didn’t replace that selling point with anything else, and it soon became apparent that you went shopping at Target only because it was the store in a convenient mall. That’s fine, but it’s also not a big draw, especially for out of town shoppers. If a Target were to hypo-thetically set up shop in Yorkton, for example, it would likely do okay but not great, depending on how convenient the location was. But, there’s really no reason for someone from Yorkton to go to a Target if they are out of town, it doesn’t have anything we can’t get at home. The problem the chain faces is that they kind of set up their expansion under the assumption that the chain would be a draw for people and do great business, but they launched a retail chain that was merely a decent department store in a sea of competi-tion. Without a real hook, without something that only Target can offer, the retail chain will continue to suffer in the Canadian market.

We’ve weathered storms, floods and plenty of hard times but as a province and as a people we manage to come together and even flourish in the end. According to the numbers our pop-ulation is up, jobs are plentiful and business is booming. For the second consecutive month, the province reports job numbers in Saskatchewan hit an all-time high. In June of 2014, there were 576,900 people working in the province; the highest ever. There were 8,700 more people working in June 2014 when compared with last June, according to Statistics Canada. “The last two months of record job numbers are consistent with the high level of economic activity tak-ing place in Saskatchewan,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter says. “We have one of the best economies in Canada, a competitive business environment, innovative entrepreneurs and above all, a skilled and hard-working labour force. “There is a lot of good news in today’s report – jobs are growing in our key sectors, unemployment remains the lowest in the country, and full-time jobs are at record lev-els. At the half-way mark in 2014, we are maintaining the course of more jobs and more opportunities for working people.” Good news indeed. Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate was 3.9 per cent in June (sea-sonally adjusted), the lowest in Canada. This was the 18th consecu-tive month that the province has recorded the lowest unemployment rate in the country. On a national basis, unemployment was 7.1 per cent in June. As we work to get through recent flood damages and continue to rebuild let’s keep in mind that we are strong and we will overcome. Way to go Saskatchewan!

To the Editor: From the first tale told by our ancestors sitting around a fire somewhere in Africa millions of years ago to the plot behind a sum-mer blockbuster movie, we – the human race – have always been su-perb storytellers. And our stories mat-ter. They help preserve memory and tradition, help us avoid repeat-ing our mistakes. They entertain us and trans-port knowledge and wisdom into the future. They also sometimes perpetuate pleasant myths, hindering our ability to change when needed. The remedy to exces-sive attachment to a particular story origi-nates with that other great talent of ours - the ability to sift through information and cor-rect previous errant no-tions. For example, for cen-turies some human be-ings heard the story of how the Earth was flat (although it was not a universal belief, if one checks in with the an-cients). The narrative stopped being taken lit-erally after some fact-checking, when sailors ventured far enough abroad and back to re-port that there was no end of the Earth off which one would fall. Which is my long way of introducing the sub-ject at hand: we often hear stories construct-ed in and about politics and records in elected office. For example, the other day former On-tario Premier Bob Rae,
fumed at a column by economist Jack Mintz who noted the similari-ties between the cur-rent Kathleen Wynne government and Rae’s reign as premier of On-tario, specifically the “high deficits, debt and taxes.” Mintz’s criticism, no doubt, conflicts with the story Rae believes about himself, which might be something
like this: “Bob Rae, a devoted and well-inten-tioned public servant, was a premier buffeted by the early 1990s re-cession and by a Bank of Canada high-interest rate policy. Rae acted prudently, spent only where necessary, cut spending when he had to, but did so with sur-gical precision. He was in the end defeated by forces outside his con-trol.” Rae likely sincerely believes all of that. The reality is he dramati-cally increased spend-ing in his early years in office, and despite
his higher taxes ended up with large deficits. That diverted substan-tial sums of taxpayer cash to debt interest. In 1990/91 when Rae first became Ontario’s premier, $3.8 billion was spent on debt in-terest, which repre-sented nine per cent of what was expended on healthcare, education and other programs. By 1994/95, debt interest
payments in Ontario totalled $7.8 billion, or about 16 per cent of what the province spent on programs. If one thinks the gov-ernment’s role is to at least partly fund social programs, Rae’s defi-cits didn’t help. That’s because, once you get beyond storytelling, math is not conserva-tive, progressive, left or right, or a preserve of partisans – it’s simply math. To quote former fed-eral finance minis-ter Paul Martin, from 1995: “The debt and deficit are not inven-
tions of ideology. They are facts of arithmetic. The quicksand of com-pound interest is real.” As for today’s prob-lems in Ontario, Ontar-io’s public bonded debt is nearly twice that of the American fiscal basket case, California. (It gets worse: per per-son, Ontario’s debt is five times that of Cali-fornia’s.) And I’ve noted how the Ontario government’s narrative (speaking of tall tales), that Ottawa is to blame for Ontario’s fiscal problems, is utter nonsense. The federal govern-ment could double its equalization payment to Ontario tomorrow and Ontario’s $12.5 bil-lion deficit would only be reduced to $10.5 bil-lion. These objective facts undermine both Rae’s belief in himself as a victim in the early 1990s and the nice sto-ry from the current On-tario government about how “Ottawa is at fault” for poor provincial pub-lic finances. Rae and Wynne are hardly the only (former and current) politicians to engage in storytell-ing. Politicians of every partisan stripe do the same thing. But while stories are useful and guide us in a variety of benefi-cial ways, the rational side of human nature should revisit tales now and then, especially po-litical ones. That leads to better, smarter gov-ernment. Ontario is no exception.

To the Editor:
The latest job numbers offer yet more confirmation that most of the Canadi-an economy is stalled. Over 9,000 jobs were lost in June. Combined with the 16,000 people who entered the labour force, unemploy-ment is up 25,000 (not including those who have given up looking for work altogether). The economy simply isn’t creating enough jobs to keep up with demand. And the long-term picture has been getting worse. This year’s tepid job growth is down from last year, which was down from the year before that. Overall, Stephen Harper has the worst economic growth record of any Prime Minister since R.B. Bennett. Since he formed a majority government in 2011, Canada’s employment rate has grown more slowly than every other G7 coun-try except Italy. It’s no mystery why. Consumer de-mand is tapped-out by record house-hold debt and private sector expansion is held back by a lack of confidence. And under Mr. Harper, the federal gov-ernment is fixed on austerity solely to feed his political vanity: by concocting the appearance of a balanced budget on the eve of the next federal election, no matter sputtering growth or the hundreds of thousands of Canadians out-of-work. That’s why Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has been saying for months that Canada needs a growth agen-da. That agenda means policies like improving the accessibility of post-secondary education and more re-sponsible stewardship of our natural resources, but its top priority must be public infrastructure. The federal Finance Department says investing in infrastructure is the single most cost-effective way to drive more jobs and growth. Statistics Canada says large investments in in-frastructure drive the biggest produc-tivity gains. Former Bank of Canada Governor David Dodge says it’s fis-cally irresponsible to fail to invest at a time when low interest rates can be converted into durable capital assets. Yet the Harper government is off-side. They’ve chopped the flagship infrastructure fund by 87%, delayed three-quarters of it until after 2019 and made it hard for municipalities to access. They are going in exactly the wrong direction, reducing the kind of invest-ments that create the kind of solid, long-term economic growth that is the foundation of deep and durable fiscal success. We can do better. Canada can boost our anemic growth, lift job-creation and reduce families’ anxieties about their future – but only if the federal government takes its blinders off.
Scott Brison, MPLiberal Party of
Canada Finance Critic.
Losses expose stalled economy
Politicians shouldn’t tell tales
To the Editor:
This week the Bank of Canada reiterated our country’s weak economic standing by downgrad-ing expectations for growth both this year and next. “Right now, we don’t have a sustainable growth picture in Canada,” Gov-ernor Stephen Poloz said. The Bank is now forecasting that Canada’s economy won’t recover from the doldrums for several years. This performance is a “serial disappointment” he said. None of this is news to any-one but the Harper government, which seems to be nothing more than a hapless spectator as the economy falters from one bad in-dicator to the next. For months on end, they dis-miss weak employment num-bers – like the ones recently reported by Statistics Canada for the month of June – as just “monthly volatility”. But it keeps recurring, month after month. One might ask, at what point does that so-called “volatility” become an undeni-able trend in the wrong direc-tion. Or to put it another way, when will Mr. Harper pull his head out of the sand. He tries to justify his grinding-ly mediocre record on economic growth and jobs by claiming to be doing better than any other
G7 country. But that’s neither true nor relevant. The US and the EU were at the epicentre of the 2008 reces-sion. Their economies fell to rock-bottom. To claim that Can-ada, nearly six years later, is do-ing a bit better than that bad lot is not saying very much. In fact, some 140 countries in the world are projected to grow faster this year than will Canada. Should we be content with that? Among G7 countries, over the past 18 months nearly all have made progress in reducing their unemployment rates (the US, the UK, Germany, France and Japan), while the other two (Canada and Italy) have not. Is that good enough? To camoufl age his slow growth/no growth record, Mr. Harper claims to have generated “more than a million” new jobs since the lowest point in the reces-sion. But examine his numbers. They are at least two years out of date. More recently, the pace of job creation has markedly slowed. Fewer than 100,000 Canadian jobs came into existence in all of 2013, and the numbers in 2014 are on track to fall short of even that sorry fi gure. The Bank is particularly con-cerned about the substantial de-cline in the “participation rate” in our labour force since just
before the recession in 2008. It reports that 100,000 people aged 25-54 have given up looking for work altogether and that things are even more dire among our youth, with 200,000 dropping out of the labour force. Hardly a vote of confi dence in Mr. Harp-er’s performance! And despite this lower labour market “participation”, job cre-ation is still not keeping pace with the numbers of people still looking for work. Indeed, in the month of June, there were 230,000 more jobless Canadians than just before the recession. And what do we get from the Harper government? Decision-making based on Ki-jiji postings. A year of tax-paid government advertising about a “Jobs Grant” that didn’t exist. A temporary foreign workers sys-tem that is roundly condemned by both employees and employ-ers alike. Complete denial about youth unemployment. And job-killing Employment Insurance payroll taxes frozen at artifi cially infl ated levels to rake in more cash – just so Mr. Harper can concoct a surplus on the eve of an election. That’s pretty thin gruel for close to 1.4-million jobless Ca-nadians.

Canada Bank underlines lack of growth
“...while stories are useful and guide us in a
variety of beneficial ways, the rational side of human nature should revisit tales now and then, especially political ones. That leads
to better, smarter government. Ontario
is no exception.”

GIVING BACK – Two helpful donations resulted from a City Employee’s BBQ held on July 17 for local fl ood victims. Pictured above Captain Brian Nielsen, Yorkton Fire Protective Services presents a cheque to Cpt. Rosanne Fraser from the Salvation Army. Below, he presents a donation to Heather Lajambe, Lorne Norman and Eugene Duchnitski from the Red Cross.
Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on get-ting settled in Hazel Dell. Roland Larsen, one of the last of the working cowboys and a true profes-sional, picked me up at our little farm and he drove us to Canora where we shared a table at the Canora First Annual Gun Show. I presented my book for sale, and Roland offered his book, the CD and the DVD. We didn’t do too badly, and will probably be back again next year. Man I haven’t seen so many butts that I can remember, rifle butts that is! There were a lot of rifles of all kinds, shot-guns, hunting rifles, semi-automatics and even some military rifles. I thought it would be a good place to ask some of the exhibitors for advice on how to get rid of coyotes. I guess it was the wrong place to do such a survey. The verdict was unanimous: “shoot’em!” It was a gun show after all, so what did I expect? Depending on who I talked to, I was urged to use any rifle ranging from a shotgun, a .22 and right up to a powerful hunting rifle! One guy even sug-gested a semi-automatic rifle in case I missed on the first shot! Gee, I can just see it now, I get a semi-automatic rifle, and the next thing I know the coyotes will be wearing bullet proof vests and hel-mets! I’m sure I’ll figure something out. There was a display of powerful com-pound bows and arrows as well. This brought to mind the story of Ole being stopped by a police officer while going the wrong way on a one way street. “Didn’t you see the arrows?” asked the officer. “Arrows? What arrows?!” replied Ole, “I’m sorry officer, but I didn’t even see the archer!” I asked Roland whether he knew if there are such things as live coyote traps
and would they work. He smiled and said: “Yep! There are some around and that could probably work, but not the way you think!” “What do you mean?” I inquired. “Bait it and set it out where they travel,” said Roland, “but coyotes are smart and they probably won’t go in it! They will more than likely sniff at it and then laugh themselves to death instead!” He said it with a straight face too! I’ll keep on investigating until I find a safe method of get-ting rid of the coyotes without damaging any-body or anything. Lars was caught poach-ing a moose, and had to appear in court. The judge squinted over his half glasses perched on the tip of his nose and looked down at Lars. “You get two options to choose from young man,” said the judge sternly, “either money or jail. Ten days in jail or $1,000.00! What will it be?” “Wow! That’s great judge,” said Lars and held out his hand, “I’ll take the money of course!” A lengthy Norwegian study by the Government’s Social Department has finally come to a conclu-sion. The result was announced in all the lead-ing Norwegian newspa-pers, and it concluded that statistics show that mar-riage is the main cause of divorce! In a recent story I told of the swallows that are nest-ing in our rafters. It appears that they might have sold some rafter space to other swallows, as it seems they have gone condo with five more nests being developed at various spots in the rafters. The swallows have obviously mistaken our house for a bird sanctuary! Maybe I ought to post a sign say-ing: “Sold Out – No More Spots Left!” I wonder if our dog Lady is charging all the swallows protection money, as she chases the crows and magpies away
from where the nests are. There are many ways to build something, as the following story will show. The person that told me this story said it was true as it did happen to a good friend of his, but I think he was just a big fibber! Read on and judge for yourself. There was a guy walk-ing down a street in San Francisco, and he tripped over an old looking oil lamp. He picked it up and hid it under his jacket, because he thought it was priceless. While he was running to the antique shop to cash this puppy in, it rubbed against his shirt. POOF A genie popped out of his pocket!!! The very angry looking Genie said: ‘’Alright, I have had enough with this three wish stuff, and ’cuz you stole me away from my HBO Special, I will grant you one wish only!’’ The surprised man said: ‘’OK, I want to live in Hawaii in a huge condo on the beach with gorgeous contemporary furniture and three million dollars in cash stacked in the bed-room safe. But I am afraid of boats and planes so I want you to build a bridge from here to Hawaii.’’ The genie replied with a smirk: ‘’Are you crazy? Do you know how long that will take, with the pillars going down 50’ past the ocean floor, all the cement and rebar it would take for the highway? No I’m sorry, it just can’t happen.’’ The man said: ‘’Fine then, I want to understand women.’’ The genie said: ‘’Would you like two lanes or four?’’
The farmer is trained – the working cowboy

Parkland College and the East Central Research Foundation have announced a second annual research farm field day July 29 in Yorkton. Farmers and agriculture industry representatives are invited to check out the projects being conducted this summer. Researchers are testing soy-bean varieties by seeding date, canary-seed fertility, oat varieties by nitrogen rate, wheat and canola with Environmentally Smart Nitrogen tech-nology, wheat fungicide timing, and cereal forage. The field day will start at 10:00 a.m. at the Tourism Yorkton location near the junction of highways 9 and 16. Attendees will be taken on a guided tour of the Crops of the Parklands demonstration site. Particular atten-tion will be paid to the more technical
plots such as those demonstrating the difference in seed treatment and fertil-izer placement. “This year we have about 12 differ-ent projects at two locations,” says Gwen Machnee, University and Applied Research Coordinator at Parkland College. “There will be tours to the research projects located at the research farm on York Lake Road and at a site adjacent to Skinner’s Garden Centre.” A barbecue lunch will be served at the Tourism Yorkton site. The field day is expected to wrap up around 2 p.m. “There will be lots of time to ask questions and discuss the results with our research scientist Mike Hall, farm technician Clark Anderson, and sum-mer research assistant Ashley Zelinski,” concludes Machnee.

MONSTER TRUCKS - Yorkton’s Exhibition Grounds were treated two two nights of monster truck action as some of the most excitingdrivers in Canada came to the city to put on sold out shows on Friday and Saturday.
By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer
If you heard the revving of engines this weekend, it was probably for a good reason as two monster truck shows de-lighted fans at the Yorkton Exhibition Grounds on Fri-day and Saturday to sold out
shows. Outlaws of Motorsports in conjunction with Perfor-mance Promotions and Key Chevrolet put on two shows of monster truck, tuff truck, and demolition derby action in town this weekend, de-lighting large groups of fans each time as the racing action
fi lled the Exhibition Grounds to capacity. Events included wheelie competitions in addition to racing action, mixing in rac-ing in addition to the free-style action that brought fans to the edge of their seats. The tuff truck competition brought local drivers into
the mix, but the highlight of course were the trucks as a large fi eld of monster truck competitiors gave plenty of action to cheer about. Event organizers would like to thank the City of York-ton for supporting the event and making it a huge success with two sold out shows.

A mix of U-16 and U-18 players playing in the U-18 division at 2014 Provincials, the Yorkton United Football Club’s U-18 girls squad didn’t let a slight age disadvantage slow them down on the pitch as they made it all the way to the provincial
final before claiming the silver medal. In group play the YUFC girls were domi-nant, keeping a clean sheet in all of their matches except their first 3-1 win over Saskatoon Hollandia, preventing Weyburn, Humboldt and Regina Unidad from scoring in four straight multiple goal victories leading to
a championship game appearance against Saskatoon Hollandia in what would be a rematch of the first round robin match in with the Yorkton United enjoyed a 3-1 victory. In the final it appeared that the YUFC would once again take the lead over their Saskatoon rivals as a
through ball from Kendra Varjassy would send Rita Fetsch through on goal to make the game 1-0 at half-time. Hollandia would equalize early in the second half, but Fetsch would breakthrough one more time to give Yorkton a 2-1 lead and a chance at victory in the second half.
Sadly it was not to be as the United players were worn down from their long week of play, eventually conceding a string of late goals to Saskatoon in a 5-2
final. Yorkton would also win the “Fair Play” award from the officials at the tournament for the most sportsmanlike play,
By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer
Needing a spark to help their chances of making the 2014 Western Major Baseball League Playoffs, the Yorkton Cardinals got just what they needed by going on a win streak last week before drop-ping two straight games to the first place Regina Red Sox in what was a successful week for the Cardinals whose win-ning week has the team holding onto a playoff spot. After starting their win streak last Monday with a big victory over Melville, the Cardinals week would begin with another huge clash against the Millionaires as Yorkton would have another chance to sepa-rate themselves in the standings from the defending WMBL Champs when they vis-ited Pirie Field in a game that provided plenty of offensive fire-works. In total 36 runs were scored during their midweek affair as the Millionaires would put up 12 runs in the first three innings to take a 12-7 lead before the Cardinals bats wore down Melville with a big six run inning in the top of the seventh to allow Yorkton to even-tually escape one of the highest scoring games in recent Yorkton Cardinals history with a 20-16 final score. Yorkton would finish with a hit for every run scored, getting 20 hits on the night and bring-ing home all of them in a massive game for the Cardinals lineup as the
Yorkton batters enjoyed padding their stats. Melville had 17 hits of their own, but thanks to some scrappy relief pitching from the Cardinals in the late innings the Millionaires offense wore down as the game went on. On the other side of the coin the barnburner did a number on both clubs bullpens as the Cardinals and Millionaires both wore out their pitching staffs in the nine inning game where hitters were seemingly hitting any-thing that crossed the plate. Yorkton would use a high total of seven pitchers in the win while Melville would manage to just use four in the loss. Not one Cardinals pitcher would make it past three innings of work as Aaron Dick, Max Chadsey, Easton Etter, Jeff Pool, Vin Whitenight, Austin Drummonds and Kameron Mizzell all did their part in getting through what was an extremely difficult pitching performance for everybody involved despite getting the four run victory at the end of the evening to extend their winning streak to two games and create some solid distance between themselves and the Millionaires in the standings. Yorkton would remain in Melville the follow-ing night as they would start Codi Scanlon in hopes that after using their bullpen quite often the night before that their starter would be able to get through the majority of the game to give some relief arms a
rest. That would hap-pen as Scanlon would make it through seven innings of work, but not without some trouble as the Millionaires would start the game with the lead. Runs in the first and third innings would put Melville up 3-0 early, but once again the Cardinals batters would find their groove after falling behind to even-tually threaten the host Mils. Shutting out the Millionaires pas the third inning, RBI’s from seven different Cardinals batters led by Ben Grillo’s two RBI
night would lead Yorkton to a second straight win over Melville as the Cardinals would even-tually win 8-3 as Scanlon would earn his second win of the 2014 season and their third straight win over Melville in as many games. Following the big back to back wins over Melville, Yorkton’s next challenge would be the Moose Jaw Miller Express as the Cardinals would visit to the Express on Friday in the first half of their two game weekend series that was slated
for Friday and Sunday. After playing from behind in both of their road wins against the Millionaires, at home the Cardinals decided they would rather play with a lead by scoring two second inning runs before climbing out to an eventual 7-0 lead after a four run explo-sion in the fifth inning. That would be enough run support for starter Cole Roark as Moose Jaw would score four runs in the late innings to inch within striking distance, but never got close enough to scare the Cards in a third straight road win for
Yorkton in the 7-4 final. Nick Gotta and Kameron Mizzell were crucial at the plate for the Cardinals in the win as the shortstop and catcher both brought home two runs each in the victory. Before returning home on Sunday to play the Express, Yorkton would visit Melville one more time with a chance at four straight wins in a week against their rivals, sending Jamie Whitehead to the mound with the hopes of extending their win streak.

Cont. from Page 10. Melville would enter the game also in need of a big win after their three loss-es to Yorkton, needing a victory to stay within striking distance heading into the final week of the season. Yorkton would be in early control, starting the game in front 5-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth before the Cardinals got to Whitehead with a five run inning to tie the game up after the Yorkton batters gave their starter more than enough run support. The Cards would grab the lead once again late, scoring single runs in the seventh and eighth innings to head into the
bottom of the ninth with a two run lead. Using position player Austin Drummonds as a closer in an attempt to save a pitching arm, the Cardinals paid for their questionable decision in losing their win streak as Drummonds couldn’t get out of the ninth inning in a rare pitching appear-ance in what was an unfortunate way to see a losing streak end as the Cardinals infielder was put in a tough situation that he arguably should not have been placed in for the blown save oppor-tunity. To Yorkton’s credit they would bounce back on Sunday, handing ace Jeff Pool the ball as the record holder for most innings
pitched in a single season for the Cardinals in 2013 nearly pitched a complete game shutout, saving the bullpen arms as he rode nine runs of support from the Cardinals batters to an easy 9-2 win. Post game Pool was happy to get the victory and also to help out the team by saving some arms. “I got into some trouble out there throughout the game, but I really wanted to get the win and have a quality start before we headed out on the road and my teammates made some great defensive plays so we were able to do that,” says Pool. Pool also mentions that after playing on the 2013 Cardinals team that fell
just short of the playoffs, his eyes are on the post-season. “Coming from last year’s team we know that we have a group here that can play playoff baseball and now we just have to get it done on the road after this win streak to make sure that it hap-pens.” Two losses to the Regina Red Sox would put a bit of wet blanket on Yorkton’s 5-1 run, but entering their long road trip until the final day of the regular season the Cardinals have a bit of breathing room with a one game lead over the Weyburn Beavers and a multiple game lead over the Melville Millionaires as they firmly sit in sec-ond place as of July 23.
Finishing off the season in a playoff spot may be easier said than done for the Cardinals as despite playing strong baseball as of late, Yorkton will be playing the toughest divi-sion in the league in the West Division when they make their Alberta swing in addition to having to play the 23-16 Swift Current Indians on the way to their five game tour through the WMBL’s other province before a July 30 season finale against the Millionaires at Jubilee Park. Yorkton will play Lethbridge twice with games against the Okotoks Dawgs sandwiched in between as the 27-13 Bulls will have first place hope-fully clinched before the Cardinals come to town as
the Cardinals will be play-ing the best team in the WMBL when they visit Lethbridge. Yorkton will then play one final road game against Swift Current before their season finale in Melville. Likely need-ing a handful of wins to secure their playoff spot in the process. That will be easier said than done as Yorkton face their most difficult travel schedule at the worst pos-sible time, but winning on the road all of last week against Melville should give the Cards confidence that they can finish off what would be a historic successful season with a playoff berth when the dust settles. Heading on the road, the Cardinals control their own destiny.
Following a needed bye week after back to back disappointing performances against the Toronto Argonauts and the B.C. Lions, the Saskatchewan Roughriders Saturday night clash at Taylor Field will be the fi rst chance for Riders fans to see if head coach Corey Chamblin’s bye week adjustments can save the Grey Cup champs from what has been a nightmare July. While the West Division’s Alberta teams have en-tered 2014 on a high as both the Edmonton Eskimos and Calgary Stampeders share undefeated records, the Riders 2014 has been a mix of lows following their blowout Week One win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In fact, Saskatchewan currently sits in dead last in the West as they are two games behind rivals Win-nipeg and one game behind the Lions following their bye, which is what makes their night game against the Argonauts so much more important than a Week Five CFL regular season game between non-confer-ence opponents should be. Already falling behind in the division, Saskatch-ewan desperately need to prove that they can wins to not only themselves but to their fans as a 1-3 start to 2014 would prove to be a small disaster in their plans at gaining confi dence following the small exodus of talent that took place this winter in Regina. Quarterback Darian Durant will again be under the most pressure on Saturday as the Riders quarterback will be looking to have his fi rst strong outing of 2014 after a bye week in which it can be assumed that Du-rant spent plenty of time with his new wideouts and running backs trying to get into a groove following massive struggles in moving the ball without Chris Getzlaf in the past weeks. Barring veteran Taj Smith,
Durant hasn’t been able to fi nd many open receivers in 2014 and has been slowly returning to the version of himself that came under fi re so many times before an improved running game and the addition of Geroy Simon allowed him to win a long awaited Grey Cup and one of the highest salaries in the league this off-season. Fans haven’t came close to turning on Durant quite yet, and they shouldn’t after he rose his play to a championship level in 2014. However taking up more salary cap space than ever before, Durant still needs to prove he can be one of the best quarterbacks in Canadian football without Weston Dressler and four interceptions with just fi ve touchdowns through three games is not going to do that. Defensively the Roughriders answered back from getting embarrassed by Ricky Ray at the Rogers Cen-
tre when they played the Lions, allowing just 26 points and should do much better against an Argonauts team that is missing their top receivers as Chad Owens and Andre Durie are both on the six game losing streak. Because of that Ray struggled against the Ottawa Redblacks in a loss last week, meaning that the Riders defenders will have no excuse if they let the veteran Ray tear them apart once again. Combining the factors of the Roughriders slow start, the strong unexpected play of the Bombers and Eskimos as well as the Argonauts injuries is what makes it so important that Saskatchewan secures a needed victory on Saturday to get back to .500 to end July. After the winning the Grey Cup, if the Riders want to feel like they are still contenders they can’t be spending the majority of the season chasing a play-off spot behind four teams in the West Division. In fact, doing so would likely use up all of the goodwill that Riders fans have following all of the celebrations that happened last year. No matter how much peo-ple in Saskatchewan love the Roughriders, winning is equally as important to fans as cheering on the team. Especially when those fans were just treated to the greatest season in franchise history a few short months ago. Would a loss on Saturday kill the Riders Grey Cup hopes? Probably not, but if this team wants to show the rest of the league that it will be in the pitcure once again the best way to send that message will be to get a win that a winning team should easily get on Saturday. Facing a team missing their two starting receivers, Saskatchewan will have little excuses for a loss. If they want to avoid questions next week, they need a win.
