Canada Post’s plan to end door-to-door mail delivery in the country extends to Yorkton in fall of 2015. That is when addresses in Yorkton will see the end of home deliv-ery, with homes with postal codes beginning in S3N will cease to receive mail at their door, instead being directed towards community mailboxes. This will affect 5,262 addresses in the city.

Anick Losier with Canada Post says that the process is going to take twelve months, and people will soon receive a package from Canada Post which includes an information kit and a survey to ask what resi-dents their preferences

surrounding how they want the community mailbox set up in their area.

“At the very micro-lo-cal level, almost down to the street, we know what the local concerns are and we try to adjust our selection of sites based on those preferences.”

She says that Canada Post’s priority is a box that is in a well lit area with a sidewalk if at all possible, though she admits to challenges in terms of older neighbor-hoods with less real estate available for set-ting up the boxes.

“Finding the right location is always a chal-lenge. Take the example of the North Shore in Montreal, based on the feedback from residents as well as the feedback

from the municipalities, we probably changed close to fifty per cent of the sites selected. In the end, collaboration pro-duces better site selec-tion.”

The consultation pro-cess is taking a year because they found that the eight months taken on the previous round of consultations was very compressed, Losier says. The full year between announcement and implementation is in order to do the consulta-tion process more effec-tively.

The majority of mail will be handled through the community mailbox system, and Losier says that they are designed to accommodate the major-ity of parcel traffic, with anything too large being

delivered to the door or via the nearest post office.

“This represents a secure parcel locker for people receiving more items.”

The most impacted group by the loss of door-to-door is people who have mobility issues, such as senior citizens or people with disabilities. Losier says that Canada Post has a team dedicat-ed to finding a solution for people with accessi-bility issues and they will work with people to find a solution to ensure they continue to receive mail.

“Do you go get your groceries or medication where there is a post office close? Can we send it to somebody that’s close to you? Is it a mat-ter of just opening the

community mailbox? For example, my mother has arthritis so for her it’s difficult to turn that little key, so we have solutions as simple as just having a bigger key. For people that it’s much more seri-ous and they have a smaller network, we will in some cases deliver to the door once a week.”

Another big question is in terms of jobs, and this move will see a smaller Canada Post overall. Losier says nobody will lose their job, because Canada Post has an aging workforce that is nearing retirement age. She expects that there will be hiring in some areas, as the over-all number of retirements outpace the number of jobs that need to be elim-inated.

While many residents of the country do not want to see door-to-door delivery end in the coun-try, Losier believes that it will be something peo-ple will adapt to quickly.

“There are about five million addresses with door-to-door delivery, but the rest of Canada, over 10 million, they don’t have door-to-door deliv-ery... For the majority of Canada it doesn’t change. For those that it does change, people will have a reaction to it and it will be a big change for them. But from what I’ve seen from the conversion in 2014, once people see the amount of attention we place on where we select a site, the upkeep and maintaining of the site, people generally react very positively.”

Home mail delivery ends in Fall 2015

Environment Min-ister Scott Moe announced the prov-ince of Saskatchewan is adopting a new envi-ronmental code that will continue to protect our environment for future generations, while helping to meet the challenges of eco-nomic growth. The code is the first of its kind in Canada and the cornerstone of the prov-ince’s new results-based approach to envi-ronmental regulation.

The supporting reg-ulations that make up the first edition of the new Saskatchewan Environmental Code have been introduced

upon proclamation of The Environmental Management and Protection Act 2010 and The Forest Resources Management Amendment Act 2010. The code addresses diverse areas such as air quality, environ-mentally impacted sites, water manage-ment and natural resources protection.

The Saskatchewan Environmental Code is based on a new regula-tory approach that has environmental protec-tion at its foundation,” Moe said. “This stream-lined regulatory pro-cess enables munici-palities and industry to

keep pace with growth, while ensuring Saskatchewan’s envi-ronment remains healthy.”Using a results-based approach, the code clearly defines required environmen-tal outcomes, empow-ering operators and organizations to deter-mine how those results will be achieved or sur-passed. This focus on results rather than process will provide the flexibility needed to apply innovative solu-tions, and allow the Ministry o f Environment to focus on activities of greatest environmental risk.

The process to devel-

op the code was inclu-sive and transparent, with stakeholders involved at every level. More than 200 experts and industry leaders from all sectors con-tributed to the develop-ment of the content of the code. As well, a 19-member Code D e v e l o p m e n t Committee brought together diverse exper-tise and provided advice and guidance as the code was devel-oped.

In 2012, a draft ver-sion of the code was made available for pub-lic review. More than 1,300 people responded by attending meetings

or providing written submissions. At the conclusion of the public review period, a sum-mary of feedback was made available on the Ministry o f Environment’s website at www.environment.gov.sk.ca/Code.

“I want to thank all those involved for con-tributing their time and talents to create a better regulatory sys-tem,” Moe said. “The result speaks for itself – a made-in-Saskatch-ewan code that’s inno-vative, forward-look-

ing, and good for our environment and our province.”

The environmental code will come into force in stages in the new year to allowaffected industries to prepare for the change. Chapters dealing with forest management will come into force January 5, 2015, with the remaining chapters in effect on June 1, 2015. Activities not included in the first edition of the code will continue to be regulated as before.

The Government of Saskatchewan is real-locating $4.6 million in funding to support stu-dents and teachers in the classroom in response to what was learned through the Student First engage-ment process.

“Student enrolment in Saskatchewan con-tinues to grow and we know that means diver-sity in the classroom is also growing,”

Education Minister Don Morgan said. “Based on feedback from the sector, we are reallocating $4.6 mil-lion to provide addi-tional front-line sup-ports where it’s needed most – in the class-room.”

Of the $4.6 million, $3.5 million has been distributed to school divisions based on the Supports for Learning component of the fund-

ing formula. School divisions are being asked to work directly with teachers to deter-mine where the fund-ing will best support their students, such as hiring additional teach-ers, educational assis-tants or speech lan-guage pathologists, or investing in technology in the classroom.

As Saskatchewan schools have seen stu-dent enrolment

increases again for the fourth consecutive year, the remaining $1.1 million will also roll out through Supports for Learning, but will be targeted toward enrolment growth. This funding will be allocated once the operating grant is updated with this year’s new enrolments.

In 2013-14, the min-istry also made chang-es to the funding for-

mula to address actual enrolment numbers to help school divisions manage cost pressures associated with enrol-ment growth and meet the needs of their stu-dents, resulting in an additional $19.2 mil-lion in 2014-15.

This year’s overall enrolment of 173,548 students is an increase of 1.74 per cent from last year and a growth of 2,966 students over-all. Twenty-one school divisions have experi-enced growth in the past year while seven have seen a decline in student enrolments.

“With our increased enrolment, we welcome additional funding resources to help meet the diverse learning needs of our students,” Regina Catholic School Division Director Rob Currie said.

The $4.6 million was originally allocated for capital assets within the Student Achievement Initiative in the 2014-15 Budget, an initiative no longer

part of the ministry’s work since the approv-al of the Education Sector Strategic Plan in April 2014.

“As teachers are really in the best posi-tion to identify where this funding could have the most impact on students, we’re asking divisions to gather their input to deter-mine how this money should be allocated,” Morgan said.

School divisions will be asked to report back to the ministry on how the reallocated funding is used.

Provincial student enrollment for Kindergarten to Grade 12 is collected every year on September 30. The enrollment figures include all actively enrolled students in Saskatchewan school divisions

More information on provincial student enrollment can be found at www.educa-t ion.gov .sk .ca /edf i -nance/provschool-en-rolment/.

Due to the challeng-ing growing season pro-ducers may have expe-rienced a loss in yield, quality or both. Crop Insurance customers are reminded they have coverage for both qual-ity losses and yield losses in their crops. Producers who think they may have a claim due to loss in quality or yield are encouraged to contact their local Crop Insurance office and register the claim before the November 15 deadline.

When producers

select their Crop Insurance coverage they secure a certain production guarantee and a base grade for the crop they are pro-ducing. If the produc-er’s harvested produc-tion does not meet the production guarantee, base grade, or combina-tion of both, a claim can be registered.

To determine the amount of compensa-tion for quality loss, the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) uses a formula to calculate the differ-

ence between the value of the harvested pro-duction and the value of the base grade for the insured crop. The difference is known as a quality factor and is applied to the harvest-ed production to calcu-late the final indemni-ty. The quality factors SCIC uses are based on a survey of market prices across the prov-ince for all types of crops and are set in December when the majority of the crop is harvested and grain buyers establish crop

prices.Claims for quality

loss and yield loss need to be registered by November 15, 2014. If producers are not fin-ished harvest as of November 15, they may request an extension of insurance. To register a claim or request an extension of insurance producers can contact their local Crop Insurance office or call toll-free 1-888-935-0000.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) and the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) are pleased to announce that all six SIGA casinos in the Province of Saskatchewan have suc-cessfully earned RG Check accreditation..

The Responsible Gambling Council creat-ed and administers RG Check, a voluntary responsible gambling accreditation program.

The process of accredi-tation includes an inde-pendent, objective assess-ment of the RG policies and procedures against a

comprehensive set of RG standards.

“The Responsible Gambling Council researched gambling safeguards around the world to ensure that these standards were the most comprehensive and rigorous anywhere,” said RGC CEO, Jon Kelly. “These RG Standards have been developed and refined over many years and are the most strin-gent available today. They reflect established and expected best-prac-tices in the area of responsible gambling.”

SIGA casinos are cer-tified for three years from

the date the casino received accreditation. The three year accredita-tion also includes annual updates for ongoing com-pliance with the accredi-tation standards.

“We are advocates for responsible gambling and RG Check accredita-tion confirms our com-mitment to operating in a socially responsible manner. We would like to thank the Responsible Gambling Council for their recognition of our high standards in respon-sible gambling.” President and CEO SIGA – Zane Hansen.

BIG ZUCCHINI – Local gardener Nathleen Matsyk has grown the biggest zucchini she has ever seen. She says she didn’t do anything special this year, so she was surprised at just how big they were, and she has never seen anything like it before.


Halloween was not made with Canada in mind. Sending roving bands of children into the streets of the city might work best in a place where it isn’t dark almost immediately by the time school lets out. This is probably why the first Pumpkin Walk was a hit, and the area around Jaycee Beach quickly filled with costume-clad children on Friday evening. It’s also why I’m going to spend the next several paragraphs praising the event, which I think managed to do the incredibly difficult task of being an arguably superior alternative to traditional trick or treating.

The reason why traditional trick or treating works is partially the sense of adventure. Even if you know most of your neighbors, there are still places you gen-erally don’t go and people you don’t regularly meet. It’s not so much that those places are scary or intimi-dating, they’re just not well known, and there’s really no reason for you to be bothered by this fact for the majority of the year. But for kids on Halloween, there’s incentive to go to those places where they don’t normally get to visit, and explore new and excit-ing corners of town, because there’s always the prom-ise of candy hidden in those corners. It’s the only time of year when kids are really encouraged to explore, to get out and meet the neighbors and hustle them for Twix bars.

The problem with a lot of alternatives to trick or treating is that it doesn’t embrace the exploration part of the formula. The majority of buildings that could host an event are certainly safer, and warmer, than roaming the streets, but they’re also not build-ings that are really unknown. Pile on the decorations all you want, but most public spaces are going to places that are familiar to kids and a bit less exciting to wander around on the hunt for delicious candies. This is not to disparage anyone who attempts an indoor Halloween event, but just recognition of how difficult it actually is to host one in a satisfying way. It’s difficult to maintain mystery in a well lit build-ing.

The strength of the Pumpkin Walk is that it removed the things that are actually unsafe – cars that can’t see children in dark costumes – while keeping the mystery alive. It’s too simple to say that just putting it in the dark was what made the differ-ence, though it was certainly very dark. In a regular park it still wouldn’t have been a very effective replacement. Instead, by building it around paths in what amounted to the woods was what made the dif-ference. It’s an event built around exploring an area, and it’s even better than the regular neighborhood because it’s quite rare to actually explore that part of the city at night. It worked because it understood that part of the joy of going to places you normally can’t, and being surprised by what you find there.

Plenty of parents don’t want to send kids out on a traditional quest for candy, they view it as a bit of a risk, especially as they hear stories about people who have ill designs on kids. This is why so many people hunger for a way to get their kids doing something on the spookiest night of the year without it being some-thing that makes them too worried. That’s likely why Jaycee Beach was packed on Friday night, but it’s also an event that worked because it was still able to capture fun of the experience of trolling for candy, without the drawbacks.

With a federal election under a year away and the Harper government poised to introduce its fall economic update in the coming weeks, the primary debate for Canadians in the next election is shaping up to be what to do with the projected surplus?

We are not talking about chump change here, either. The Parliamentary Budget Office predicts that the gov-ernment is on pace to run a $3.6-billion surplus in 2014-15, with subsequent surpluses to average about $10 bil-lion annually for at least five years. That’s a lot of money – and there are many politicians salivating at the oppor-tunity to spend it for you.

Earlier this month, the NDP announced its proposal for a $15 per day nationwide child care program. If it looks anything like the Quebec model, it would inevita-bly end up as a subsidy to those who need it least. In fact, studies show that the Quebec system results in middle and upper-income families securing most of the spots, leaving children of poorer families on long waiting lists.

The NDP assume provincial governments would be willing to bankroll a large part of the cost. This is a big assumption, especially considering the Quebec govern-ment is weighing a major overhaul of the program. The province’s auditor general identified a litany of problems in 2011. Not exactly a rock solid model upon which to launch a massive new federal program.

What’s more, the NDP proposes this new spending in addition to, rather than in place of, the existing system of payments to parents of children under age six in the form of the $100 per month Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). Incredibly, under the NDP plan you can have your cake and eat it too – so long as you’re prepared to pay for twice as much cake.

The Conservatives, for their part, are rumored to be looking to expand the UCCB, either in amount (more) or scope (by making it applicable to children up to age 12). This would also cost a hefty sum – comparable to the cost of the NDP plan. On the plus side, more money would be going directly into the pockets of Canadian families rather than funding one type of program. This would give greater flexibility to parents and keep thousands of stay-at-home moms who run day-homes, in business.

Yet, when it comes to support for child care, there are better ways than creating vast new government bureau-cracies, or cutting Canadian families cheques with their own money and then taxing part of it back: the govern-ment could simply take less from Canadian families in the first place.

If the objective were to put more money into the hands of Canadian parents, why not consider increasing the existing child care deduction? Parents are already able to deduct up to $7,000 for child care costs for chil-dren under seven, and $4,000 for children under 17. Raising that limit would benefit all parents, regardless of the form of child care they opt for – especially if a working parent was permitted to pay their stay-at-home partner and claim the deduction.

One of the best ways the federal government can sup-port Canadian families is by lowering their tax burden. Looming budget surpluses mean at long last they have the flexibility to do so – and they should.

Livestock producers all over the world understand the positive impact tracking and sharing animal data can have on the marketplace. They know that, due to recent “food scares,” consumers want to know the food they are going to feed their families is safe. They want to know where it comes from, how it was raised, and what chemicals or drugs were used to create it.

Not all farmers and ranchers are on board with the trend. Even though the use of RFID ear tags to iden-tify cattle is mandatory, in some areas of Western Canada, where most of the cattle herd exists, compli-ance ranges near 50 per cent. As a result, the cattle industry is failing to take advantage of growth oppor-tunities by giving consumers what they want: reliable information about the history of their beef.

To increase profits, improve the world perception of the quality of our beef, and expand domestic and inter-national markets, the movement toward industry-wide traceability must be taken seriously. We have all heard it many times before. We live in a global market and we must do what the world market demands.

This is why the beef industry must learn something from Canada’s pork and lamb producers.

Canada’s pork industry is one of the few in the world to offer a nation-wide traceability system - PigTrace - a system that provides a competitive advan-tage as consumers look for verifiable pork products. PigTrace also helps producers safeguard their busi-nesses and bottom lines during a market disruption caused by food safety or animal health issues. The

Canadian Lamb Producers Cooperative is also creat-ing a system for true traceability of meat from the farm, through processing, to the retailer, and right to the consumers’ plates. The system will allow the lamb industry to grow, gaining a stronger foothold in grow-ing international markets. Most of all, the grading system is increasing farm cash receipts, which is every farmer and rancher’s goal.

That’s great news for the lamb and pork folks, but what does it mean for cattle producers?

Despite the size and significance of the cattle indus-try, true traceability throughout the supply chain is still a distant dream. Without it, the industry is miss-ing out on an enormous opportunity for growth that the pork industry has already seized and the lamb producers will be unveiling soon.

Traceability provides for the kind of collaborative economics that is vital for the industry’s long-term sustainability and growth. Boosting revenues and profitability is a direct result of traceability and improved beef quality. It’s as simple, and as compli-cated, as that.

But tracking has to flow throughout the supply chain-from lineage, to history of care, to production, and processing-to provide fast, credible, accurate, and consistent data to everyone. Integration is the only way to provide the kind of high quality and credible information consumers demand-and producers need.

To the Editor:

After seven consecu-tive years of budget defi-cits, the federal govern-ment is finally set to bal-ance the budget. While the government has long expressed that tax relief is its top post-deficit pri-ority, the major question has always been: what form will the tax relief take?

Now we finally know. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently announced his govern-ment will introduce income splitting for tax purposes at an annual cost of roughly $2 billion. The government is right to focus on tax relief and address a distortion in the tax code, but it missed an opportunity to think big and enact tax reform that lays the foundation for stronger economic growth.

Income splitting tack-les a distortion in Canada’s tax system between households. Households with similar incomes can face very dif-ferent income tax bills depending on who earns the income. If a house-hold has two earners at, say, $50,000 each, it would ultimately pay lower combined income taxes than a one-earner household with the same amount of income.

In principle, house-holds with similar

incomes should face simi-lar tax burdens. The dis-tortion between dual-in-come households and those where most income is earned by one spouse is due to Canada’s progres-sive personal income tax system - tax rates increase significantly as income increases. Since income tax rates apply to indi-vidual earnings, rather than family income, sin-gle earner families are taxed at higher rates than dual-income families with the same family income.

By allowing house-holds to move income from one spouse facing higher rates to the other spouse, income splitting is one way to help fix this distortion. Income split-ting, however, does virtu-ally nothing to improve economic incentives or Canada’s competitive-ness. Therein lies the missed opportunity.

Other reforms would allow the government to both fix the tax distortion while at the same time strengthening our econo-my and improving our tax competitiveness.

Consider a recent Fraser Institute study that surveyed the exist-ing research on marginal tax rates. The weight of the evidence clearly shows that high and increasing marginal personal income taxes discourage invest-ment and entrepreneur-ship, which form the basis

for a thriving economy.Consecutive federal

governments, both Liberal (in 2005) and Conservative (in 2006), have identified the destructive effect of Canada’s personal income tax rates. Indeed, the Conservatives highlight-ed the need to reduce per-sonal income tax rates well before any mention of income splitting.

Tax relief in the form of lower personal income tax rates would achieve the dual purpose of dimin-ishing the tax bias between households and strengthening Canada’s economy.

One option is to elimi-nate the two middle-in-come tax brackets of 22 and 26 per cent, leaving one tax bracket (15 per cent) for the overwhelm-ing majority of Canadians and a single high-income bracket of 29 per cent, which would only affect approximately 2 per cent of taxpayers.

Such a change reduces the number of brackets and thus the income tax system’s complexity, improves economic incen-tives, and diminishes the need for income splitting for almost all households. If fully implemented, it would cost an estimated $21.4 billion.

The government could use expected future sur-pluses to finance part of the proposal to eliminate the two middle-income

tax brackets. The remain-der could be financed through the elimination or reduction of tax expen-ditures (this includes tax credits for particular activities such as enroll-ing kids in arts or sports classes).

The totality of govern-ment resources consumed by tax expenditures is actually quite large. In 2013, the latest year of available data, the feder-al government spent over $140 billion on personal income tax expenditures while collecting $130.8 billion in personal income taxes. Yes, the federal government spent more money providing carve-outs and special treat-ment than it collected in personal income taxes.

Reducing personal income tax rates would provide broader-based tax relief and an enormous improvement in our tax competitiveness while strengthening the incen-tives for work effort, sav-ings, investment, and e n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p . Canadians would get far bigger bang for their buck with big-picture reforms such as broad-based per-sonal income tax cuts than tinkering with income splitting.

Farmers of North America (FNA) and AgraCity Crop & Nutrition have learned their bid to acquire the CWB was rejected by CWB manage-ment.

The decision is disappointing because farmers have clearly told us in over 100 town hall meet-ings and thousands of one-on-one conversations that they want to acquire majority interest in the CWB, but most needed time after harvest to fully assess the opportunity. Unfortunately, the dead-line for raising capital passed before harvest was completed, denying farmers adequate time.

Despite this great opportunity having been taken from growers, Genesis Grain & Fertilizer Limited Partnership is still going ahead. It is clear, now more than ever, that farmers need to own their own grain company, coupled with fer-tilizer distribution facilities.

“If farmers can’t acquire the CWB, we believe they will build their own efficient, globally com-petitive business with the grain they own and the fertilizer they buy, as farmers have done in many competitor countries,” says FNA President James Mann.

“We started the grain project to build on the synergies with fertilizer distribution,” continues Mann. Why would farmers pay for fertilizer dis-tribution on one site, and someone else’s grain handling facility at another site?”

Producers have shown overwhelming support for a farmer acquisition of the CWB and have been keenly interested, especially since they learned the successful buyer will assume owner-ship of CWB assets in addition to keeping the capital raised for the purchase to build grain handling infrastructure for the new company.

“The CWB’s behavior is puzzling,” says Mr. Mann. “First, they reject an offer by farmers that would have facilitated farmer delivery loyalty through deferred delivery commitments to ensure volume for financial sustainability. Then, when the dust settles after majority ownership acquisi-tion by another company, potentially foreign, they will expect farmers to come back and deliver to the CWB anyway.”

The tendering process for the CWB was con-firmed in an October 17 online article for The Western Producer, which quotes Minister Ritz on the fact that a process is indeed underway.

“It appears that CWB management is not giv-ing the Minister accurate briefings. We did not have eight to ten months to reach out to farm-ers,” says FNA spokesperson Bob Friesen. “Clearance on what we could say to farmers was not given to us by CWB management until the beginning of September. That gave farmers just over one month, during a very difficult harvest, to look at the opportunity and make a decision. Coupled with that challenge, we were given sig-nificant restrictions on how we were allowed to reach out to farmers.”

FNA’s quest for the CWB was to build a farm-er-majority owned grain company with farmer ownership as high as 90 percent, depending on the strategic partner. The acquisition of the CWB was not pursued to resurrect the wheat board or for the sake of nostalgia. It was done purely for commercial reasons to build Genesis Grain & Fertilizer into a farmer owned, globally competi-tive grain company without reliance on govern-ment money, now or in the future.

“We are determined that farmers capitalize on opportunities provided by owning part of the value chain,” says Mr. Mann, “and FNA — as a farmers business alliance — is the only national organization with the ability to spend the time, energy and resources that have gone into this exercise.”

“We call on Minister Ritz, within the spirit of ‘Farmers First,’ to instruct CWB management to give farmers an equitable opportunity to acquire the CWB, allowing them to hit the ground run-ning in building a farmer owned grain company.” says Mann.

Income splitting not the best plan

To the Editor:

Within hours of the federal bud-get last spring, then-Finance Minister, the late Jim Flaherty, caused a flap in his own Conservative Caucus by openly criticizing Stephen Harper’s favorite proposed tax break.

For more than four years, Mr. Harper has been promoting a form of “income splitting” whereby a higher-income taxpayer could assign a portion of his/her earnings (up to $50,000) to his/her spouse to be taxed at the spouse’s lower rate. Mr. Flaherty was concerned that such a policy would be expensive and quite unfair to the vast major-ity of Canadians. He was right.

His concerns were echoed and amplified by the independent anal-yses of the C.D. Howe Institute, the

Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Fraser Institute, the Broadbent Institute, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the 3-D Policy group, the Caledon Institute, and many others. Mr. Harper has announced some policy tweaks to his plan (including a “cap” on the largest benefits going to the very wealthiest Canadians), but Mr. Flaherty’s criticisms remain valid.

The proposed income splitting scheme will cost the federal trea-sury some $2-billion annually, pro-viding benefits to fewer than 15% of Canadian households - 85% are left out.

Single moms and single dads get nothing. Spouses with similar incomes (within the same tax brack-et) get nothing. Families without children under the age of 18 get

nothing. The most needy and low-est income families get nothing.

Through this plan, Mr. Harper is also continuing his practice of con-voluting the tax code with boutique measures which narrowly reflect conservative social engineering. You have to wedge yourself into a conservative social policy pigeon-hole in order to qualify, but Mr. Harper’s mould doesn’t fit the real-ity of most Canadians’ lives.

And with every new measure, the tax code gets more complex and incomprehensible, making broad-based personal income tax rate reductions more and more unlikely. And that does nothing for Canadian competitiveness or economic growth.

A “cap” doesn’t hide the unfairness

To the Editor:

Capital gains taxes sti-fle investment, discourage entrepreneurship, and damage Canada’s econo-my, notes a new essay released today by the Fraser Institute, an inde-pendent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“While capital gains taxes raise a small amount of revenues for govern-ment, they do so at consid-erable economic cost by reducing returns on invest-ment, which discourages private sector investment and entrepreneurship—two things we need more of,” said Charles Lammam, associate director of tax

and fiscal policy at the Fraser Institute, which released The Economic Costs of Capital Gains Taxes in Canada, part of a collection of essays on cap-ital gains taxation.

Capital gains taxes are imposed on gains from the sale of assets. Conse-quently, notes the essay, investors may retain older investments, even if more profitable and productive opportunities are avail-able, because of the re -quirement to pay capital gains taxes. Economists call this the “lock-in” effect.

“New business ventures drive productivity and employment growth, and if more locked-in capital

were liberated, it could help boost the economy,” Lammam said.

But if Ottawa reforms the capital gains tax re gime, and possibly cuts rates, won’t revenues suf-fer?

The essay notes that capital gains tax revenue represents only 2.3 per cent of federal income tax revenue and a mere 1.1 per cent of the federal gov-ernment’s overall reve-nue.

“It’s hard to justify the current level of capital gains taxes, considering the harmful economic costs they impose on Canadians and the rela-tively small amount of rev-enue they generate,”

Lammam said.Among the 34 countries

in the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), Canada has the 14th highest capi-tal gains tax rates. Incidentally, 11 OECD countries impose no tax on capital gains.

“By reforming the capi-tal gains tax regime, Canada could get a big bang for its buck by pro-viding tax relief that encourages growth while having a minimal effect on revenue,” Lammam said.

“If governments want to encourage growth with-out unduly reducing reve-nues, they should consider reforming our current cap-ital gains tax regime.”

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Well, finally the tur-key trot is over! They were expedited to the freezer last weekend. I’m not going to give you the gory details, so suffice it to say it is a long time to Christmas, and our appe-tite for turkey may have recovered by then.

Marion brought home equipment and supplies to wash the outside wid-ows that would normally require a ladder to get up to them and get them done. It consisted of a very powerful glass clean-er that has to be diluted in water, (2 ounces to 1 gallon), as well as a foam scrubby pad with an extendable handle. I promised Marion that I would read the instruc-tions carefully. According to the instructions the window pane has to be sprayed with water first, then apply the cleanser

using the absorbent scrubby pad, make sure to do the entire window pane including all four corners. Then rinse the window pane thoroughly; and also the window frame!

This seemed all simple enough; I just had to get the water hose ready by screwing on the “pistol grip.” It took me about an hour to find the “pistol grip,” as she had hidden it away at the bottom of the lowest storage area at the entrance. I was lying on my stomach rummaging around until I finally found it under some tools in the back corner! OK! Then I grabbed the hose and checked to see that it would be long enough. Obviously Marion had joined all the hoses together including the one foot extension that we use for something, whatever that something is. I’m focused on the task of cleaning the windows, so when I got to the end of the hose, I screwed the “pistol grip” on, without

paying any particular attention as it screwed on quite easily. I dragged the hoses around the cor-ner and placed end in the middle of the wall so I could do all three win-dows facing the driveway. I went back to the spigot and turned the water on, and hurried back to spray down the windows. That’s when I realized that I should have paid more attention when I screwed on the “pistol grip!” Because the one foot extension that had been joined at the end had the female connector, I had screwed the tip of the “pistol grip,” (yes, it has threads), into the exten-sion and water was pour-ing out of the handle!

I turned the water off, verbalized a few choice Norwegian phrases, unscrewed the extension and screwed the “pistol grip” on the right way, and I’m in business! I guess the little rubber rings that are supposed to seal the connection might have dried up and hardened a bit. Every

time I squeezed the trig-ger on the “pistol grip,” water would splash on to the window pane, and a thin jet of water would squirt up my sleeve, and it did not matter how I held the “pistol grip,” my right sleeve got soaked, my arm got soaked, then I moved it to the left hand and now my upper torso got soaked. It was not particularly warm that day; in fact it was over-cast and a bit windy. By the time I was done wash-ing the windows, I was soaked from head to toe and shivering. I turned off the water and headed straight for a warm show-er.

When Marion came home she surveyed the hose, shook her head and told me that the “pistol grip” that I had used was a cheap one that she had bought on special, but the Scottish streak in her would not let her throw it away. She proceeded to

tell me that we have three more of those “pis-tol grips.” One in the tarp shed, one sitting in the fence by the horses’ water trough and one on the shelf in the basement. Of course, all the places that I didn’t look!

Ole was walking around a crowded Walmart on a busy Saturday looking for his wife while muttering some Norwegian phrases. He bumped into a young man who wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. He heard Ole talk-ing Norwegian, so he introduced himself as another Norwegian and told Ole that his name was Lars. “What are you doing here Ole?” asked Lars. “I’m looking for my wife,” answered Ole. “Well, I’m looking for my wife as well,” said Lars. “I think we are going to have a hard time finding them,” said Ole. “Maybe we could search togeth-

er,” suggested Lars. “What does your wife look like?” asked Lars. “Well, she’s middle aged, about five foot three, with dark blonde hair set up in a tight bun, she’s wearing a brown jacket over a loose fitting light yellow blouse and a matching skirt, and her name is Kari,” said Ole. “What does your wife look like Lars?” inquired Ole. “She’s in her late twen-ties slim with long blonde hair that hangs down past her shoulders, wear-ing only a tight fitting flimsy white T-shirt with Uffda imprinted on the front, and a pair of tight fitting jeans accentuated with high heeled black booties, and her name is Grete,” said Lars. “Well, what are we waiting for, let’s go and find her,” said Ole. “What about your wife?” asked Lars. “Never mind her” said Ole, “ yours sounds more inter-esting, let’s go find her!”

India has rapidly become one of Saskatchewan’s major trading partners, and Premier Brad Wall is cul-tivating that growing relationship in a visit to the country next month.

The premier shared details of his November 15-23 India trade mis-sion in a meeting at the Legislature with repre-sentatives of the prov-ince’s Indo-Canadian community. The mis-sion, Wall’s second to India, will promote S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s strengths in energy, agri-food and innovation as well as profile business opportunities in the prov-

ince for Indian investors.I n d i a i s

Saskatchewan’s second largest source for immi-grants, just behind the Philippines, with 10 per cent of all permanent residents coming to Saskatchewan from India between 2007 and 2013 (5,179 persons).

“Saskatchewan led the nation in exports to India in 2013 -- $1 billion worth of products,” Wall said. “But we can build on that base even fur-ther, with our demon-strated strengths in the food, fuel and fertilizer that expanding econo-mies like India need.”

The premier has busi-

ness and investment meetings scheduled in Mumbai and New Delhi as well as in Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat, and Chandigarh, the capital of the states of Punjab and Haryana. He also plans to meet with elect-ed leaders at the national and state levels, as well as with representatives of India’s Atomic Energy Commission and the India Pulses and Grains Association.

Wall will deliver key-note addresses at a Canada-India Business Council Reception in Mumbai and a luncheon of Gujarati investors in

Ahmedabad. Other speaking engagements include remarks at the opening ceremony of a premiere business fair, Agro Tech 2014 in Chandigarh, and an address on the impor-tance of potash to a meet-ing of 400 farmers in Muzaffarnagar, a major agricultural centre in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

“It is great to see the increasing importance given by the provincial government and Saskatchewan compa-nies to trade relations with India,” India-Canada Cultural Association President Sunil Sohani said. “Trade

missions such as the one Premier Wall is embark-ing on not only help busi-ness and investment opportunities, they also strengthen the ties of friendship between Saskatchewan and India. We look forward to a pos-itive outcome from this visit.”

“I have a number of messages that I will be delivering while in India,” Wall said. “Saskatchewan can be an important part-ner as India achieves food self-sufficiency and improves the productivi-ty of its crops, we can support the country’s ambitious nuclear energy program, and we can

help it ‘green’ its coal industry through our world-leading expertise in carbon capture and storage.

“We’ve set an ambi-tious goal in our Saskatchewan Plan for Growth of doubling the value of our total exports by 2020, and, indeed, our S a s k a t c h e w a n - A s i a Advisory Council has called for a tripling of Asian exports by that year. India will be an important partner in keep ing our Saskatchewan economy strong.”

Saskatchewan’s ex -ports to India were $999 million in 2013, an increase of 69 per cent since 2007. Saskat-chewan’s imports from India were $40 million in 2013, an increase of 244 per cent since 2007.

O CanadaRadicalized terrorists

are a concern around the world. The tragic events of October 20th and 22nd, the murders of two of our own fine Canadian sons, make it obvious that Canada is not immune from ter-rorism.

Following the attacks at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill, I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of good wishes and prayers for me and all parliamen-tarians – and especially for our Prime Minister. As he recently stated in Parliament: “ … we see across the world, increasing places where the planet is descending into savagery …”

Indeed, I have not seen such violence in my generation. I was very near to the shoot-ing that took place on

Parliament Hill. I will never forget the cacoph-ony of shots that rang out as the perpetrator ran past the unlocked doors of our caucus room.

An M.P.’s job can be demanding and stress-ful, but these events went beyond anything I ever could have imag-ined in my over twenty years on Parliament Hill. We were locked down for nearly twelve hours. Not knowing what else may be occur-ring outside our room made for many anxious

moments.My deepest sympa-

thies and prayers go out to the families and friends of our fallen sol-diers:

WO Patrice Vincent and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. I encourage every Canadian to support our military and police forc-es that so faithfully and constantly provide for our security and safety both here at home and abroad.

In his address to the House of Commons on the emotional morning after the shootings,

Prime Minister Stephen Harper left us parlia-mentarians with this reassuring message:

“Mr. Speaker, in our system, in our country, we are opponents but we are never enemies. We are Canadians, one and all. We may be across the aisle from one another, but when faced with attacks on the country we all love and the things we all stand for, I know we will always stand together.”

I share those senti-ments and hope that all Canadians, moving for-ward, will apply these values of tolerance, understanding and mutual respect for one another.

Though the objective of terrorism is to instill fear and panic, to inter-rupt government and to

force the adoption of their brutal values, ide-ology and way of life, our response needs to be a stronger commitment to the freedom and val-ues that have made our country what it is. We cannot be intimidated. We must remain vigi-lant. And we must not back down – for the sake not only of our own gen-eration – but of those to come.

Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vickers, and the brave members of the security services on Parliament Hill are true examples of outstanding courage and profession-alism. To all of them, we owe our deepest grati-tude.

In the words of our national anthem: God keep our land glorious and free.

We’ve been lucky so far – but winter will soon arrive and SGI wants driv-ers to be prepared.

“That first snowfall always seems to throw drivers for a loop,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “We tend to see collisions

spike that first day as drivers adjust to the win-ter roads. They forget they need to slow down and take their time. Just remember – better late than never.”

That’s why safe winter driving is the traffic safety spotlight for the month of

November. Police across the province will be on the lookout for people driving too fast for road condi-tions. Drivers can avoid collisions if they follow these winter driving safety tips:

• Slow down. Posted speed limits are for ideal

driving conditions. Adjust your speed accordingly when conditions are less than favourable, like when roads are icy or there is low visibility.

• Clear snow from your vehicle, paying particular attention to your head-lights and tail lights, and be sure all your windows are completely defrosted before you drive.

• Consider installing winter tires if you haven’t already. SGI recommends the use of winter tires as they provide improved traction on winter road surfaces.

• Leave more distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you, so you have more time to stop.

• Give yourself extra time to get to your desti-nation so you’re not tempt-ed to drive too fast for road conditions.

• If you do have to trav-el, check the weather fore-cast and the Highway Hotline before you go and pack an emergency travel kit.

“It’s common sense, but if you can make habits out of these simple tips, you will help keep you, your

loved ones and other road users safe,” said Cartmell. “Traffic safety is every-one’s responsibility.”

From November 2012 to March 2013* there were 2,191 collisions in Saskatchewan where driv-ing too fast for road condi-tions was a contributing factor. Those collisions resulted in 1,082 injuries and nine deaths.

AGRICULTURE WEEK – The City of Yorkton’s agriculture week kicked off with a ceremonial branding, officially marking the beginning of Harvest Showdown in the city. Yorkton Chamber of Commerce President Don Rae, Mayor Bob Maloney, and Yorkton Exhibition President John Simpson oversee the branding by honorary presidents Elise Vargo, Anne Britton and Donna Malinowski, long time Harvest Showdown participants and Exhibition volunteers. Harvest Showdown is running now until November 8, with a rodeo, stock shows, fiddle competition and much more.

The Government of Saskatchewan today took the first steps toward redefining Saskatche-wan’s liquor retailing system by releasing an options paper, and invit-ing public input.

“There are a lot of opinions about how we should sell liquor,” Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Don McMorris said. “This consultation process will let us hear directly from the public and key stake-holders about what they would like to see when it comes to liquor retailing in Saskatchewan.”

The consultation pro-cess includes a compre-hensive options paper. It provides a history about the province’s liquor retail system and takes a look at how some neigh-bouring jurisdictions operate. The document

also outlines five differ-ent options for people to consider:

Maintaining the cur-rent system;

An expanded private retail system;

Alberta-style fully pri-vate retail system;

Managed transition to fully private system; and

An expanded govern-ment retail system

“These are the five broad models we would like the public to consid-er, recognizing that there are a lot of different deliv-ery options within each model,” McMorris said.

The consultation web-site at www.saskatche-wan.ca/liquorretail gives people the opportunity to read the options paper, complete a brief survey and provide comments. Key stakeholders will also be invited to submit written comments, which will be posted on the con-

sultation website.“We know we’re going

to need some more new stores to help meet future demand and we also know we have some exist-ing stores that will need investments in the future,” McMorris said. “Before we decide how to proceed, we want to hear what customers, stake-holders and the general public have to say.”

The province’s liquor retail system currently consists of 75 government liquor stores, approxi-mately 190 franchises operating in private busi-nesses in rural Saskatchewan, 450 off-sale outlets and three private full-line liquor stores. A fourth private full-line store is set to open in Regina next spring.

The consultation pro-cess runs until January 30, 2015.

Public input wanted for liquor laws

Local artist’s best Pots & PaintsBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Local artist Carol Bolt has put together her first show, a combination of pottery and painting that she’s called Pots and Paints.

The show began when the gallery need-ed a safety show just in case a planned exhibition fell through, Bolt admits, because she could get her work together quickly. Modest by nature, Bolt says she doesn’t consider herself an artist but instead as somebody who just makes things.

Bolt says it was her third attempt to try pottery, and she says Brian Beck’s teaching is what made it possible for her to get a grasp of the form.

“I don’t even know why I enjoy it, because I’m a real neat freak and it’s really messy.”

One of the centerpieces of the show is what she calls the “Doily collection,” which

has the texture of doilies pushed into the clay. Bolt says that the start of the collec-tion began when she received a garbage bag full of doilies and couldn’t figure out what to do with them.

“Somehow I made the collection between clay and lace, which is really weird but that’s what I did.”

The paintings are defined by their burst of colour, which Bolt says is the result of her being a “flower freak” and loving color. She says that it’s been a constant from when she began painting, something that was pointed out to her by early teachers.

Bolt also has praise for Sandra MacColl and Lori Glauser, who she credits as being an influential force in the art community in Yorkton.

“They are absolutely warriors for the visual arts.”

Pots and Paints will be at the gallery until Christmas.

The Great War Veterans Association (“GWVA”) was the larg-est and the most influen-tial of the many Veterans groups. Formed in 1917, it comprised of more than 700 branches by 1925. In 1921

they started pressur-ing for the unification of all the various Veterans groups as being the best way to represent the many Veterans and their dependants.

By 1918—more than 15 veterans’ groups and regimental associations with common goals but fragmented and largely unsuccessful

The British Empire Service League (BESL)—founded in 1921 as coali-tion of Britain, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and is

now known as the Royal C o m m o n w e a l t h Ex-Services League (RCEL) with 57 member organizations from 47 nations

1925—Appeal for Unity led to formation of Dominion Veterans Alliance

A Unity Conference was held in Winnipeg on November 25, 1925. From this conference emerged “The Canadian Legion of the BESL”, [commonly referred to as “The Canadian Legion”].

The Legion is orga-nized in 10 provinces in Canada, 5 US States, and branches are now being organized over-seas.

Legion goals of provid-ing a strong voice for vet-erans and to advise the government shall be

maintained.The Legion has become

a persuasive advocate for pension legislation, and other benefits such as treatment and appeals procedures, returned sol-diers’ insurance and assistance for those with disabilities for veterans and their dependants, dealing directly with Federal Government.

Legion is the largest of the many veterans Organizations in Canada with 370,000 members.

Major responsibility for the perpetuation of “REMEMBRANCE” in Canada through the Annual Poppy Campaign with a mission to ensure that the sacrifices made are never forgotten, and reminding Canadians of the 117,000 plus, men and women who gave

their lives in the wars and military missions around the world.

Poppy funds collected are used for assistance to veterans, ex-service members and their fami-lies who are in need.

1926 -- The Yorkton Branch of the Canadian Legion was granted a charter to operate as “The Yorkton, Saskatchewan Branch #77, The Canadian Legion, of the BESL, [British Empire Service League’.] Charter mem-bers included Messer’s Balfour, DeBalinhard, Schlitt, Eby, Williams, Regan Graham, Walker, Crosthwaite, Macleod, Taylor, Morrow, Scott, Kimber, and McMillan with General Alexander Ross as President.

The word “Royal” was

not added to the name until 1960, signifying recognition of the Queen.

1930 -- The Royal Canadian Legion found-ed the Ladies Auxiliary on April 23rd.

On May 25th, Yorkton’s War Memorial was erected on Darlington Street.

1949 -- Erection of the War Memorial Monument in the City of Yorkton cemetery.

Over the years, and into the present time, the Yorkton Br. #77 of the Royal Canadian Legion has actively supported in various ways, innumera-ble local community ori-ented groups, organiza-tions and school projects. These include, but are not restricted to, health and senior’s institutions, and youth and young

people’s organizations. Funding and help is based on individual applications supported by documentation and financial statements if requested. Final disposi-tion is made by aCommittee of the Board of Directors and based on The Legions ability to fulfill the request.

As a final note The Royal Canadian Legion is dedicated to perpetu-ating the memory of those who gave their all to the cause of freedom and the safeguarding of our way of life in Canada and the world over, and those famous words,

Facts about Remembrance Day10 Quick Facts on...

Remembrance Day1. Remembrance Day

was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to com-memorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

2. From 1921 to 1930, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. In 1931, Alan Neill, Member of Parliament for Comox–Alberni, introduced a bill to observe Armistice Day only on November 11. Passed by the House of Commons, the bill also changed the name to “Remembrance Day”. The first Remembrance Day was observed on November 11, 1931.

3. Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sac-rifice.

4. The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to provide assistance to Veterans.

5. Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada. It is also a statutory holiday in three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) and in six provinces (British

Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador).

6. The national cere-mony is held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Governor General of Canada presides over the ceremony. It is also attended by the Prime Minister, other govern-ment officials, repre-sentatives of Veterans’ organizations, diplo-matic representatives, other dignitaries, Veterans as well as the general public.

7. In advance of the ceremony, long columns of Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces mem-bers, RCMP officers, and cadets march to the memorial lead by a pipe band and a colour guard. At the end of the ceremony, they march away to officially close the ceremony.

8. Some of the 54 Commonwealth mem-ber states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a sol-

emn day but at differ-ent dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11.

9. Many nations that are not members of the

Commonwealth also observe Remembrance Day on November 11, including France, Belgium and Poland.

10. The United States used to commemorate Armistice Day on Nov-em ber 11. However, in 1954 they changed the name to Veterans Day.

We remember those who servedin times of war and peace.Remembrance Day

is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices that today’s soldiers make and on the sacri-fices of all those who preceded them.

The deadliest war: The Great War of 1914-1918 is the greatest drama known to Europe in terms of the number of deaths. The totalitar-ian regimes of the twen-tieth century and the Second World War are the direct consequences of this war. But it was the Second World War that was the deadliest, with more than 55 mil-lion deaths, of which 30 million were civilian.

The most remem-

bered war: This is the Second World War because of the atom bombs dropped on Japan and because it left its mark on three generations.

Fortunately, those who remember it also remember the slogan “No more war!”

The bloodiest battle in Canadian history: The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to the end of November, 1916. On the first day of this bat-tle, the 1st N e w f o u n d l a n d Regiment was virtually annihilated in the vil-lage of Beaumont. Machine guns, barbed

wire, trenches, and massive artillery shell-ing resulted in ferocious fighting marked by heavy losses. Some 24,713 Canadians and Newfoundlanders died in the battle.

The largest naval battle: The greatest naval concentration of contemporary history was deployed in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean area on September 21, 2007. This unprecedented demonstration of power by the United States against Iran included three aircraft carriers supported by about 40 escort vessels and near-ly 100 aircraft.

Poppy: Long standing traditionWearing a red poppy

for Remembrance Day on November 11 has been a tradition in this country for 90 years now. The white poppy, dating from 1933, has recently resurfaced, however. It is a way to remember the civilian victims of war. The two complement each other: the red for those who died for their country, the white for the hope of peace.

Did you know that behind these poppy campaigns, both past and present, are some very committed women? The adoption of the poppy as a symbol of

remembrance has inter-national origins. The first person to use it in this way was Mrs. Moina Michael, a staff member of the American Overseas YMCA, during the last year of the First World War. In April 1920 she led a stirring campaign to have the poppy recognized as the official symbol of remem-brance by the American Legion. At the same time, Mrs. Anna Guérin, from France, became an ardent defender of the poppy as the symbol that would help all citi-zens remember those who died in the war.

The efforts of these

two ladies were not in vain. The first “poppy day” was held on November 11, 1921, in France as well as in Commonwealth coun-tries. Ninety years later, the poppy is still a reminder to us all. But we mustn’t forget that on November 11, 1933, the Women’s Cooperative Guild in the United Kingdom launched the white poppy campaign, sym-bolizing the will to work towards creating a world without violence, to resolve conflicts peace-fully, and to remember civilian victims of war.

First Remembrance day was 1918Remembrance Day on

November 11 commemo-rates the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1918. This is when the Armistice was signed and is also the date marking the official end of the First World War. To commemo-rate this day, you are invit-ed to participate in the annual Poppy Campaign, the Royal Canadian Legion’s main source of fundraising, which allows this organization to contin-ue its work with veterans in need.

Nowadays, Remem-brance Day includes all wars that have occurred since the Great War. Indeed, there has not been a single day since 1918 that has not been marked by a war or armed conflict some-where on this planet. So, to put an end to all wars, people across the country wear poppies in their lapels and decorate war memori-als with wreaths and

bunches of poppies on November 11.

Why poppies? Because this red flower recalls the famous poem “In Flanders Fields,” written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during the First World War. This is the most frequently read and quoted poem about war. It is the mention of poppies in the first and last verses that has turned this flower into an emblem of remem-brance and a symbol of new growth in the devastation left by war.

We must all remember the terrible toll wrought by the First World War: the death of 16.5 million peo-ple, including 9.7 million military personnel. The Second World War, the bloodiest conflict in our his-tory, saw the deaths of 60 million souls, one third of which were mili tary per-sonnel.

Programs in place to help homeless veteransLeave the Streets

Behind – Homeless Veterans

The Legion helps Veterans and their fami-ly members leave the streets behind and turn their lives around through national and provincial programs offering financial assis-tance and supports for homeless Veterans and those at risk.

In 2012, the Legion established a national homeless Veterans pro-gram, “Leave the Streets Behind”, based on the ground breaking work of Ontario Command. The program’s mission is to reach out to homeless Veterans, or near home-less Veterans, by provid-ing immediate financial assistance and support when and where needed. It also connects them with the appropriate social and community services to establish a long term solution to meet their needs.

Help is AvailableIf a Veteran or Vet-

eran’s family member you know is homeless or near homeless please contact the Legion at:

Tel: 306-525-8739 or Toll free: 1-866-471-8387

Email us at [email protected]

How We Can HelpTrained Legion

Service Officers can assist with the follow-ing:

Finding suitable accommodation: Legion Provincial Commands work closely with Veterans Affairs, shel-ters and community organizations to get Veterans off the street and into temporary and/or long term accommoda-tions.

Financial assistance: Through the Poppy Fund, financial assis-tance can be provided for

items such as first and last month’s rent, rental arrears, furnishings, food and clothing, bus tickets, and medical needs such as dental, eyeglass, transportation to medical appoint-ments.

Other supports: Legion Provincial Commands can help Veterans access addi-tional community, men-tal health and training programs to support their transition.

EligibilityCanadian ex-service

personnel and their dependents (spouse/chil-dren).

Commonwealth ex-service personnel who are residents in Canada and their dependents.

Allied countries ex-service personnel who are residents of Canada and their dependents.

Program FundingThis program is fund-

ed by Legion Branches within the province through their Poppy Funds, As well, Legion Provincial Commands receive an initial grant from Dominion Command to help with the start-up costs of the program.

How the Legion is helping across Canada

Recognizing the need for a coordinated, nation-al strategy to address the issues facing home-less Veterans, the Legion coordinated and hosted a Homeless Veterans Forum in April 2014. This meeting brought together national organi-zations working with homeless individuals, but with a key focus on addressing Veterans.

The Legion has been assisting homeless Veterans across Canada for many years. In addi-tion to helping homeless Veterans find and access emergency supports, Provincial Commands

have taken the initiative to develop and fund homeless programs and supports in their com-munities.

Ontario was the first Provincial Command to develop and offer the “Leave the Streets Behind” program. Through their efforts, the Legion established a network of support through Veterans Affairs and various shelters across the province to provide transition assis-tance to homeless Veterans.

BC/Yukon Command provides financial sup-port for Veterans Manor in Vancouver’s East side and more recently, Cockrell House in Victoria.

Alberta-NWT Com-mand has operated a food bank for over 20 years assisting many Veterans in their com-munity and is engaged with first responders in

identifying and assisting homeless or near home-less Veterans. This Command has also sup-ported Maddison House for homeless Veterans in the Calgary area and Veterans Villa in Edmonton.

Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command launched the Veterans Outreach pro-gram bringing together community resources and establishing part-nerships to provide pro-active assistance to homeless Veterans.

Dominion Command is working towards the goal of ensuring that every Provincial Com-mand in Canada estab-lishes a homeless Vet-erans program tailored to meet their unique community needs.

Discovering the Power in Me

Discovering the Power in Me (DPM) is a pro-gram developed and offered by the Pacific

Institute and is well known throughout North America. The program gives people with mobil-ity disabilities, their families and others shar-ing their journey the tools to develop the inner strength and capacity required to take control of their lives. DPM teach-es people to manage change, set and achieve goals, be more effective and think in ways to cre-ate success. DPM used cognitive psychology to help participants under-stand how the human mind works and how their current beliefs and attitudes can shape the future. The underlying theme is that everyone can control their own thought process. Once learned and understood, individuals will be empowered to shape the future they want. It’s intention is to teach and promote healthy cogni-tive behaviours when

dealing with traumatic incidents.

DPM assists Veterans in making a successful transition to civilian life following a service relat-ed injury. It is intended to compliment, rather than replace the Veterans Transition Program.

As it currently stands, the Veterans Transition Program is not offered in Saskatchewan. Should a Veteran require that program, he or she would need to commit to extend-ed travel and time. DPM however, will be offered in the Veterans’ own community here in Saskatchewan, at con-siderably less cost and logistical effort. Should the Veteran require fur-ther treatment following the DPM program, the Royal Canadian Legion would attempt to locate a spot for that Veteran on the Veterans Transi-tion Program in another Province.

The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport today premiered Stories of Courage: Saskatchewan Second World War Veterans Remember, a series of eight videos presenting the oral his-tories of 17 Saskatchewan residents who served during the Second World War.

The project started when community advo-cates asked the Government of

Saskatchewan to help preserve our province’s military heritage before it was lost. Together, three priorities were established: organizing a new provincial mili-tary heritage committee, developing an oral his-tory project using video and integrating informa-tion about military heri-tage into the Saskatchewan curricu-lum.

“These oral histories

will help future genera-tions gain a sense of what life was like in Saskatchewan during the war, the values that led our country to join in the fight, and why the veterans who shared their stories so readily volunteered to serve,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “You can draw a direct line from that gen-eration’s valour to the spirit of the Canadian

military today as we honour the lives of the two soldiers killed last week defending our free-doms.”

“There is value in pre-serving military heritage for present and future generations,” Saskat-chewan Military Heritage Committee Chair and Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Larry Wong said. “Our history as a nation includes those difficult times

when we were forced to take up arms and it’s an incomplete picture of our province if we don’t learn about and value these parts of our heritage.”

“City Saskatchewan is proud to broadcast this important series,” City Saskatchewan General Manager Joanne McDonald said. “As the province’s educational broadcaster, we are pleased to do our part to help explore a fuller

understanding of this significant period of our history to our viewers.”

The videos, along with a new teaching guide containing detailed les-son plans for each video, will be placed in the pro-vincial social studies curriculum for teachers to use in the classroom. They can be viewed online at www.saskatch-ewan.ca/storiesofcour-age/.

The chain of events that would bring Canadian soldiers into the desolate and dan-gerous terrain of Afghanistan began on September 11, 2001. On that day, four airliners were hijacked in the skies over the eastern United States; two were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center towers and one into the Pentagon, resulting in the death of nearly 3,000 people. These horrific attacks shocked and galvanized the United States and much of the world. Canada would soon play a role in the ensuing international efforts to battle terrorism and help bring democracy to Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is a rug-ged country in Southwest Asia, located between Pakistan and Iran. This ancient, mountainous land is about the size of Saskatchewan and has a population of approxi-mately 30 million peo-ple. The various ethnic groups and factions that have made the country home over the centuries have given Afghanistan a rich heritage and diversity, but have also helped make peace and stability difficult to achieve.

The civil war that broke out after the for-mer Soviet Union with-drew from its military occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s would see the Taliban regime gain control of the country. This extreme funda-mentalist regime severely limited civil rights and supported international terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda (the group which was behind the attacks in the United States). In

the wake of September 11, the United States and the world took action through the United Nations (UN) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

The first Canadian Armed Forces contribu-tion to the campaign against terrorism in Southwest Asia came at sea. Beginning in October 2001, Canadian ships would see ongoing duty in the waters off the region, supporting and defending the inter-national fleet operating there as well as locating and searching unknown boats looking for illegal activity.

The Aurora patrol aircraft and Hercules and Polaris transport planes of the Canadian Armed Forces Air Command would also be active in Afghanistan and the waters off Southwest Asia, filling important roles in marine surveillance, transporting supplies and personnel, and evacuating casualties. Canadian helicopters also provided important service in identifying merchant vessels and offering valuable trans-port support over the years.

Canadian soldiers soon travelled to Afghanistan as well. The first were comman-dos from the elite Joint Task Force 2 (JTF 2) in December 2001, fol-lowed by other Canadian soldiers in January 2002 who were initially based in Kandahar.

With the eventual fall from power of the Taliban, attention turned to stabilizing the country and helping establish a new Afghan government. The UN authorized a NATO-led

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to take on this chal-lenge. The initial Canadian contribution to the ISAF in the sum-mer of 2003 consisted of more than 700 Canadian Armed Forces members stationed in Kabul, the country’s capital, with 200 more providing sup-port from elsewhere in Southwest Asia.

In 2005, the Canadian Armed Forces’ role evolved again when they began to shift back to the volatile Kandahar region. While the Taliban government had been toppled, the group remained a strong presence in some areas of the country. Indeed, Canada’s return to Kandahar coincided with a resurgence in Taliban activity and our soldiers quickly found themselves the targets of attack.

The numbers of Canadian soldiers soon swelled to approximate-ly 2,300 to help deal with the enemy and support the Provincial Reconstruction Team operating there. Canadian tanks, artil-lery and infantry sol-diers all took part in many ground operations in Kandahar, including large-scale offensives against massed Taliban forces. This chapter of Canada’s efforts in Afghanistan was the most perilous. Anytime Canadian soldiers left the relative safety of their main camps to go “outside the wire,” the danger was very real.

Canada’s combat role in the country ended in 2011 when the focus shifted to training Afghanistan’s army and police force and the last of our service members left the country in

March 2014. But Canada’s efforts in the troubled country have been numerous. Reaching out in an attempt to build trust and win the hearts and minds of the people of Afghanistan was an important goal. In addi-tion to their military activities, Canadian Armed Forces members engaged in many humanitarian efforts like digging wells,

rebuilding schools and distributing medical and relief supplies, both as part of their official mission and on a volun-teer basis.

Canada’s efforts in Afghanistan have made a difference, but this has come at a great cost. Sadly, 158 Canadian Armed Forces members died in the cause of peace and freedom in Afghanistan.

The Canada

Remembers Program of Veterans Affairs Canada encourages all Canadians to learn about the sacrifices and achievements made by those who have served–and continue to serve–during times of war and peace. As well, it invites Canadians to become involved in remem-brance activities that will help preserve their legacy for future gener-ations.

The year is 1950. The Second World War is over. The United Nations (UN) has been in place for just five years, and is working to promote global peace and security. Canada is brimming with opti-mism as Canadians look forward to a prosperous and peaceful second half of the 20th century. Suddenly, an interna-tional crisis is brewing in the Korean peninsula and people, the world over, are holding their collective breath. What happens next is history.

At the end of the Second World War, Japan’s empire was dis-mantled and the Soviet Union, seeking to gain influence in the region, occupied North Korea while the Americans moved into South Korea. The Soviets and the Americans eventually left, but not until a com-munist government had been established in the North and a democratic government in the South. Tensions between the two Koreas grew to a climax and, on June 25, 1950, the military forces of North Korea crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea. This marked the beginning of hostilities which were to rage on for more than three years, throughout the country known to its people as the Land of the Morning Calm.

The UN, created to resolve conflict between member nations primar-ily through dialogue and

negotiation, also had the flexibility to use force in the pursuit of peace. The situation in Korea would require armed intervention, and 16 member nations, including Canada, would contribute mili-tary forces under United States command.

Initial advances of North Korean troops reached Seoul, the capi-tal of South Korea, but a September 1950 UN sea landing at Seoul’s port of Inchon forced the North Koreans to retreat. Seoul was re-captured by UN Forces, which then crossed the 38th Parallel, moving toward the Chinese bor-der. Chinese forces intervened with a mas-sive offensive that drove the UN and South Korean Armies back across the 38th Parallel to southern positions along the Imjin River.

In mid-February 1951, units from Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and India joined to form one Commonwealth Force, as part of a north-eastern advance toward the 38th Parallel. Korea, a rugged country with hills, swamps and rice fields, also has periods of severe seasonal weather which ham-pered combat opera-tions. By the end of March, Canadian troops were in the Kapyong Valley and in mid-April UN Forces were again north of the 38thParal-lel.

Western politicians debated invading China at the risk of expanding the war, but decided against such action and in late April 1951, with new troops and equip-ment, Chinese and North Korean forces struck in the western and west-central sec-tors. The aggressive Chinese advance forced US troops in the area to move back or risk being overrun by the enemy. Canadian and other Commonwealth troops entered the battle in the Kapyong Valley and helped the Americans retreat to safety. The Canadians were award-ed a US Presidential Citation for this gallant action.

Early in July 1951, ceasefire negotiations began. However, there would be two more years of fighting until the signing of the Armistice at Panmunjom on July 27, 1953. The uneasy truce which followed left Korea a divided coun-try, yet the first UN intervention in history effectively stopped the aggression, and the UN emerged from the crisis with enhanced prestige.

As with the two world wars that preceded Korea, Canadians vol-unteered for military service far from home. More than 26,000 Canadians served in the Korean War, including sailors from eight destroyers and airmen who took part in many combat and transport

missions. Canada’s mili-tary contribution was larger, in proportion to its population, than most other UN partici-pants.

Canada, as a nation, owes an everlasting debt of gratitude to those young men and women who, in the prime of their youth, have served and continue to serve their country to pre-serve global peace and protect fundamental human rights. Many made the ultimate sac-rifice, and lie buried in countries far from their homes and loved ones. Many have returned from service with inju-ries to body and mind that they must carry with them for the rest of their lives. The names

of 516 Canadians who died in service during the conflict are inscribed in the Books of Remembrance located in the Peace Tower in Ottawa.

The collective experi-ences and stories of Canada’s Veterans pro-vide Canadians with a proud and lasting legacy that will continue into the country’s future. Remembering and reflecting on the signifi-cance of the contribu-tion they made, and continue to make, strengthens the com-mitment to preserve the values for which they fought.

The Korean War marked a new stage in Canada’s development as a nation. Since the

end of the war, Canada has contributed to many military operations around

Some of the simplest baking products to make are quick breads. Quick breads, as the name implies, can be made in a shorter amount of time than traditional yeast breads. Examples would be banana bread, muf-fins, scones, etc., and although easier, there is still information worth knowing.

The biggest, and most obvious, difference between yeast breads and quick breads is that quick breads are not leavened with yeast. The term “leavening” can be described as the creating and capturing of gases in a baked product to pro-duce structure and height. As yeast ferments, with the help of sugar, it cre-ates gas that causes the holes visible in bread. Quick breads rely on leav-eners such as baking soda, baking powder, steam, eggs and air to give a similar effect.

Baking soda and bak-ing powder are considered chemical leaveners. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and it requires liquid and an acid to make a gaseous reaction. It is usually added to recipes that have a naturally occurring acid in the ingredients. This acid can be found in items such as vinegars, butter-milk, yogurt, sour cream, honey, molasses, fruits and even chocolate. The amount of baking soda used is determined and balanced by the amount of these acids occurring in the recipe’s ingredients.

Baking powder on the other hand is a complete leavener, as it only requires liquid for it to react in the same man-ner. The reason for this is that it contains a mixture of baking soda and the balanced amount of acid, along with starch to help prevent lumping. This is why you will see some recipes that call for bak-ing powder and others with baking powder and/or baking soda. A good comparison of this would be a pancake recipe com-pared to a buttermilk pancake recipe.

Most quick bread reci-pes consist of mixing dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls first before combining them.

Not only are quick breads fast, they are also very tender. This is due to the limited production

of gluten in the mixing process. When flour and liquid are mixed together, gluten is formed. Gluten is most recognizable as the elastic feeling in yeast bread dough that has been kneaded. The longer that flour and liquid are mixed, the more gluten is created. Quick breads are similar to the texture of cakes and thus one should not over-mix to ensure a delicate composition.

Regardless of which chemical leaveners you use, the batter should go into the oven immediately once mixed together, as the gases start producing immediately when the liquid is added. If using eggs and air to leaven, bake immediately before it deflates, for optimal results.

Once in the oven, heat will convert moisture in the batter to steam. The steam, air and gasses from leavening will be trapped in the batter, thus giving the product height and a fluffy tex-ture.

Dear Chef Dez:I love pancakes, but

whenever I make them they turn out tough. I know it’s not the recipe because it is the same one that my mom uses and hers always turn out fluffy and delicate. Can you help me?

Sarah D.,Burnaby, BC Dear Sarah:Pancakes are much

like quick breads as they should have a cake-like texture, hence the name pan- “cakes.” The biggest mistake made when pre-paring pancake batter is that one tends to over-mix. Over-mixing flour and liquid produces glu-ten, which will give it more structure. The more mixing one does, the more gluten is created, and the tougher the cooked pan-cakes will be. It is okay for your batter to be a bit lumpy.

Also, make sure you are not using “bread” flour, as it contains more gluten than all-purpose or pastry flour. I hope this helps.

VETERAN SALUTE – A large enthusiast crowd joined the Yorkton Community Adult Band under the direction of Larry Pearen and Community Concert Choir under the direction of Laurene Jemieff for their fall concert at St. Andrew’s United Church “SALUTE TO OUR VETERANS”. During the two hour program, many WWI & WWII selections were performed including “White Cliffs of Dover”, “One Tin Soldier”, “Long Way To Tipperary” as well as the Royal Canadian Armed Forces marches featuring several soloists. The highlight of the afternoon concert was the mass performance of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” which featured band, choir and a color Party by the Royal Canadian Legion. A PowerPoint slide production showing many World War I & II photos was shown in the background during the musical performance. The large crowd gave the musicians three standing ovations. It was a proud moment to salute our veterans as we look forward to the community Remembrance Day Service Nov. 11th 10:30 a.m. Gallagher Center Flexi-Hall.

OBITUARIES

CARE: The sudden passing of Jean Care occurred peacefully on October 14th, 2014 in Leader,Sk with daughter Cyndy by her side. Jean Annie (Dutchak) Care was born Dec.19, 1933 to parents, Mary (Homeniuk) and John Dutch- ak, at the family farm near Canora, SK. Due to winter storm, her birth was not registered until Dec. 20, 1933. 80 years later, this led to le- gal errors and her birthdate was legally changed to Dec. 20, 1933. Predeceased by husband Carol James Care, brother Jim Dutchak and his wife Mary-Ann, brother-in- law Peter Cymbalisty, parents Mary and John Dutchak, and eld- est brother at infancy. Jean grew up in Canora,Sk. and in 1951 met husband Carol (cal) Care in York- ton,SK. They were married in Win- nipeg, Man. on Aug 16, 1952. Sur- rounded by the Care family they remained in Winnipeg for almost 2 years before returning to Yorkton. While Cal worked as a sales and parts man for Bowman Brothers, Jean worked various jobs. From nurses aid to sales clerk and hospital staff, she mostly enjoyed the hospital work. In 1954, son Came- ron was born, followed by daughter Cynthia in 1957, both in York- ton. Cal's work led to the family being transferred to Portage La Prairie, Man. Brandon, Man. and finally Saskatoon,Ski. Avid camp- ers and fishermen, the family enjoyed the outdoors and many trips to Good Spirit Lake and canoe trips down the Churchill River. Jean and Cal became world trav- elers and took many trips across the U.S.A., Japan and a cruise. Retired from their jobs in Saska- toon, Jean from City Hospital, they moved to a cabin in Cochin,Sk. They enjoyed their cabin renovations flowers and garden, until Cal's failing health forced a move to Kindersley,Sk. Here they had the help of family, where Jean and Cal enjoyed a more quiet life until his passing in 2010. Never being one to give up or in, Jean travelled on her own and moved herself to Swift Current,Sk. Her last trips were to B.C. to visit brother Jim and family, shortly before his death. Then a winter trip with daughter Cindy and Robert, to visit Jean's sister Vicki one final time. Jean was diagnosed with Poly- myalgia Rheumatica. Even with Cyndy's constant care, many months were spent in Swift Cur- rent Hospital over the next 2 years. Unable to then live alone and with her only caregivers sudden health issues, Jean happily moved to the Wester Senior Citi- zens Home in Leader,Sk. Mostly bedridden Jean took great pleas- ure in the humour of the staff who cared for her, wonderful new found friends and visits with Cyndy, whose health she worried more about than her own. Jean's biggest joy being there was, "No more housework!" While Mom only had a few short months to spend in her new home, she enjoyed it all. Mom left us quietly, peacefully and suddenly, but still asking, "did you make enough to feed the boys?" God Bless you Baba! Jean is survived by son Cameron Care and wife Brenda, daughter Cynthia Care and friend Robert, sister Victoria Cymbalisty, brother Terry Dutchak and wife Sharon, sister-in-law Rosalie (Care) How- ey, five grandchildren and their spouses who gave Jean eleven great-grandchildren. Numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. At Jean's request there will be no funeral or memorial service.
