Time is running short so if you haven’t yet gotten on board you had best jump on it. The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding local producers April 30, 2014, is the deadline to enrol in the 2014 AgriStability Program and pay program fees, without penalty. To remain enrolled, participants have until April 30, 2014, or 30 days from the date on their Enrolment/Fee Notice, whichever is later, to pay their program fee without penalty. If program fees are not paid by the deadline date, a 20 per cent penalty is added, which must be paid by December 31, 2014. Producers that want to participate in AgriStability for the first time or wish to re-join the Program must request a New Participant Package by April 30, 2014. Participants who wish to cancel their partici-pation in AgriStability must also do so by April 30, or 30 days from the date on their Enrolment/Fee Notice, whichever is later. Producers can access local, knowledgeable staff to help with the AgriStability Program, through any of the 21 Crop Insurance offices across Saskatchewan, or by contacting a program advisor. Producers can review their Enrolment/Fee Notice on AgConnect. AgriStability is intended to provide support for producers who experience a large margin decline. You may be able to receive an AgriStability payment when your current year program margin falls below 70 per cent of your reference margin.

AgriStability is based on margins: • Program margin – your allowable income minus your allowable expenses in a given year, with adjust-ments for changes in receivables, payables and inven-tory. These adjustments are made based on informa-tion you submit on the AgriStability harmonized form. • Reference margin – your average program margin for three of the past five years (the lowest and highest margins are dropped from the calculation). Your refer-ence margin will be limited to the lower of your his-torical reference margin or your average allowable expenses for the years used to calculate your reference margin. Should your production margin fall below 70 per cent of your reference margin in a given year, you will receive a program payment. For more information about AgriStability or to access additional support, producers can contact SCIC: • at their local Crop Insurance office; • online at www.saskcropinsurance.com; • by calling toll-free 1-866-270-8450; or • Via email at [email protected].

BEST OF THE BEST! – The News Review was presented an award for the Best Editorial Page at a Saskatchewan Weekly Newspaper Association (SWNA) Better Newspapers Competition event held in Saskatoon earlier this month. Sponsored annually by SWNA, the awards recognize the best of the best among Saskatchewan’s 86 member newspapers. This is the second consecutive year for The News Review to be presented the honor in the over 6,500 circulation category. Pictured above with the plaque is local reporter Devin Wilger.

It’s an honour

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

People from across Yorkton and area had an opportunity to learn more about the Canadian hon-ours system when It’s An Honour! stopped in Yorkton. The travelling exhibit was at Sacred Heart High School last week, welcoming school tour groups from around the city as well as interested citizens. François Grenier has been with the tour as it travels from coast to coast on the two year project. He says that the goal is more than just education, but to inspire the people who learn as well, showing the different areas where honours can be given and how Canadians of all backgrounds can be recog-nized for what they do. The tour also touches on how people get nominated, and how anyone can nominate a deserving person for an honour in Canada. “We are trying to educate people about the hon-ours, we are trying to inspire people and we’re try-ing to install pride for the upcoming 150th anniver-sary of Canada.” Installed in a semi trailer, the travelling exhibit is designed to engage audiences by showing the full variety of honours available to Canadian citizens.

FUNDING EDUCATION – The Health Foundation and TD Bank Financial Group have renewed their partnership for the Education and Scholarship program. The program, which has been in place since 2002, funds training and education for staff in the Sunrise Health Region, allowing them to improve their standard of care as well as qualify for new posi-

tions to allow for new ser-vices in the region. Pictured above, Les Arnelien, Manager for TD Canada Trust in Yorkton, presents Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health

Foundation, with a $12,000 cheque for the program. Since 2002, there have been 278 awards totaling $257,071, with $138,000 of that program being provid-ed by TD Bank.

In recent weeks, the Government of Canada has signed two major trade agreements that will benefit Canadians in the form of jobs and economic growth. Most notably for Sask-atchewan, the agree-ments signed are particu-larly beneficial to our agri-cultural sector. The first agreement was signed with Taiwan in early January and expands market access to include Canadian bone-in beef and other specified beef products from animals under 30 months of age (UTM). The arrangement levels the playing field for Canadian beef producers and generates export opportunities to the lucra-tive Taiwanese market. Canada currently ships boneless UTM frozen, fresh and chilled beef to Taiwan. In 2012, Canadian total exports for these beef products were valued at $1.4 million, ranking Taiwan as Canada’s 18th largest beef export mar-ket. Since the BSE outbreak in 2003, government and industry have been work-ing hard to reopen mar-kets and gain full access for Canadian beef, based on science and guidelines established by the World Organization for Animal Health. In June 2007, Canada regained access to Taiwan for boneless beef derived from UTM ani-mals. In 2002, the year prior to the BSE ban, Canadian beef exports to Taiwan were valued at $19.8 million, ranking Taiwan as Canada’s 5th largest export market for beef. The second trade agree-ment came earlier this month when Prime Minister Harper visited

South Korea. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA), signed by both countries, will benefit a wide range of sectors, including indus-trial goods, agricultural and agri-food products, wine and spirits, fish and seafood, and wood and for-estry products. In 2012, Canada was the world’s fifth-largest exporter of agricultural and agri-food products. Canada’s annual agricul-tural exports to Korea were worth an average of $708 million from 2010 to 2012, led by wheat, pork and pork offal, hides, skins and furs, refined and crude canola oil, malt and prepared foods. Canada will benefit from expanding exports of these and a wide variety of other products, includ-ing meats, grains, oilseeds and pulses. Canadian agricultural exports to Korea currently face high tariff rates, which aver-aged 52.7 per cent in 2012. The Agreement will result in the elimination of tar-iffs on 86.8 per cent of agricultural tariff lines. This duty-free access will give Canadian agricultur-al products, including beef, pork, canola and grains, preferential access to the Korean market and will put Canada on a level playing field with Korea’s current Free Trade Agreement partners. The

Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement will not affect Canada’s supply manage-ment system, which will remain as robust as ever. The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement provides no additional market access (i.e. no quota expan-sion and no reduction or elimination of over-access tariffs) for Korea’s dairy, poultry and eggs. In the early days follow-ing the signing of the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, organizations and groups within the Canadian agriculture sec-tor, such as the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, wel-comed the announcement, understanding the bene-fits to our livestock, grain and oilseed producers. With the signing of the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, Canada now has 43 agreements signed with major trading part-ners, with more to come.

Celebrating poetry April is Poetry Month in Canada and Yorkton is jumping on board in celebration. Established in April 1998 by the League of Canadian Poets (LCP), National Poetry Month brings together schools, publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, and poets from across the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in Canada’s culture. The year 2014 marks the 16th anniversary of National Poetry Month in Canada. Building on the success of the Mayor’s Poetry City Challenge in 2013, the theme this year is Poetry City. As such, Regina’s mayor challenged his fellow mayors in communities across Canada to have a local poet read a poem at the opening of a council meeting in march or April. At the Monday April 14 meeting in Yorkton local poet Dale Winnitowy was invited to council to do just that. Mr. Winnitowy graduated from the U of S, trav-elled and became an English teacher, teaching in Yorkton for many years. With a passion for rock’ n’ roll and travel he has since retired and discovered the joys of poetry, photography and international cuisine. The following is the work he wrote and read to council entitled “Poetry and Politics.” the day poetry met politics should have been a day that all hell broke loose but au contraire with their initial awkward platitudes these masters of words seemed like dancers searching for a pattern in the other’s footsteps the alderman, who didn’t have time to waste,volleyed with a classic opener “how’s your day been?” expecting, somewhat hopefully, an innocuous two or three word reply followed by a simple “and yours?” but poetry had, as they say, miles to go before sleeping


IT’S AN HONOUR! is a touring exhibit showcasing the Canadian honours system which is currently travelling across Canada and recently made a Yorkton stop. Above and at right, François Grenier shows some of the displays on the truck, which showcases some of the achievements of Canadian honours recipients.

Con’t from Page 1.

Grenier says that through the tour one can see that people gravitate towards dif-ferent subjects, wheth-er it be sports, science, the arts, or family and community. Given the wide spectrum of awards on offer, the exhibit engages differ-ent people in different ways. The exhibit is also built around modern technology, with many different displays and touch-screen interfaces presenting varied infor-mation. All of the med-als themselves were also brought on tour, and can be seen and held close up. “This exhibit is a

great blend of history and technology at the same time. We all know how kids get a big kick out of technology, and here they are served... Everybody finds some-thing in this exhibit.” The tour has been going since July of 2013, and has already trav-elled through the North as well as the west coast before making its way through the prairies. “We have a big coun-try so we’ve got a lot to cover. We’ve done about 50 towns,” Grenier says. While the truck was in town for two days, Grenier notes that it’s always possible to learn more about the Governor General’s office at www.gg.ca.

Work dilemma needs resolution

One would hope, given the charges, the end result will unfold differently than many are imagining, but with that said, if Ronald Makar is found guilty, he should be punished to the FULLEST extent of the law as well as be made to pay back every cent he has earned since this all came to light. Ronald Makar is a 54 year old Fort McMurray area police officer who has been climbing the ranks since he joined the police force a little over 30 years ago. In fact, he currently serves as operations manager at his place of duty. That is now... but what about what was THEN? A story has recently come to light which suggests, as a rookie officer in the summer of 1982 while stationed in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Makar, along with the help of his then female friend/accomplice (allegedly of course) had sexual intercourse with a 12 year old girl. Despicable. Makar has since been charged with one count of sexual intercourse with a female under the age of 14 and the woman with indecent assault of a female. Makar is suspended WITH pay until further notice. He is scheduled to appear in court on the charge June 4. Granted, Makar is innocent until proven guilty. In fact, one would like to believe the very people we

appoint to uphold the law and protect us would not take advantage of the sys-tem, but sadly, crimes like this are happening more and more. Just a couple short months ago a Saskatchewan officer was charged with the sexual assaults of eight young boys. It’s a separate inci-dent and in no way are they related but they are con-

cerning all the same. And I have to say, this is abso-lutely not a knock against all of our men and women in uniform. We have many, many fine and upstanding officers who put their life on the line everyday and are dedicated to helping the residents in the communities they serve. For these people I have the utmost respect. It’s about the power abusers and those who feel they are somehow above the law. And if this is Makars case I hope he pays the ultimate price. In 2000 and 2002 there were two other suits filed against him, both harassment lawsuits filed by female RCMP members. This cannot and should not be hap-pening. Saskatchewan residents, and most certainly the vic-tim and her family will be watching this case closely. Makar can have the benefit of the doubt for the time being, but there will be NO sympathy if he is guilty of this crime, not as far as I’m concerned anyway.

The way I see it...

A Regina school is removing student-use micro-waves. The division argues that it is a safety and timeliness issue. They say that re-heatable foods in school lunches might sit at room temperature for too long, that they can get too hot, or finally that they might take too long to actually warm up for students. The argument does not really hold water, however, and feels like a cost-saving measure disguised as a health one. Schools have had microwaves in them for decades. In that time, the amount of children actually injured by a microwave is not exactly statistically significant. While it’s possible that there have been food poisoning cases or cases where kids have over-heated their meals, it’s not a large enough issue to be a major prob-lem. There are certainly people who might be con-cerned about the quality of food that is actually being warmed in the microwave, but that food is generally decided by the parent sending a lunch as opposed to students or staff. The issue seems to be most connected to the machines themselves. Let’s be clear here, students are hard on microwaves. They get damaged, they get filled with gross food goo that needs to be cleaned out repeatedly, they’re in heavy use by a subset of the population which is generally hard on most of the

equipment they use. Public use microwaves tend to have a shorter life expectancy as a rule, but when combined with a heavy-use lunch hour by mostly youth, you’re looking at periodic replacement at a minimum, as well as a repeated and frankly disgust-ing cleaning regimen. I would actually be okay with those reasons as an explanation. If the schools removing the microwaves are trying to increase enrollment in a healthy lunch program, I would also be okay with that as an explana-tion. I can understand why a school would not want the headache of a student-use microwave and the inability to get a hot meal outside of a lunch program

would make that program more appealing to students and parents. If the schools themselves were honest that the microwaves were removed for one of these two reasons, I could accept it. However, by saying it’s a student safety issue, it starts to sound as though the school divisions are mak-ing up reasons. For decades students have survived the dangers of being in schools where microwaves were available for use. Some of them have thrived, and now have kids of their own attending class. It’s going to be difficult for us to actually believe that micro-waves are such a danger to students that they have to be removed for their own safety. The suggestion that today’s students need to be protected from this reheat-ing menace is transparently ridiculous and actually insulting to both parents and children. However, cost reasons can be believable, as well as a desire to grow the school’s own lunch programs, and I can even get behind schools directing the cost of microwaves towards something else entirely. I do not believe the safety reasons, because they were not an issue when I was in school and it is absurd to suggest new students can’t handle a simple appliance. Student safety is often used as an excuse to change programs, people want their kids safe, but respect people and give them a believable explanation.

If indeed this is the case, the provincial government ought to be taking a very close look to be sure Saskatchewan’s own residents aren’t being short changed in the quest to fill jobs and welcome new-comers. While we want to be welcoming and also be of assistance to employers finding it difficult to fill positions, we can’t do so at the cost of hard working, dedicated, local employees. The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour (SFL) has reported it recently met with two Weyburn women who claim they were fired from their long-time jobs in order to make room for temporary for-eign workers. Shaunna Jennison-Yung and Sandra Nelson were both fired from their positions as servers at the Weyburn Travelodge after a combined 42 years of service. “We are extremely concerned to hear, contrary to our governments’ mis-guided assurances, that abuse of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program con-tinues to occur in our province,” com-ments Saskatchewan Federation of Labour President, Larry Hubich. “Ms. Jennison-Yung and Ms. Nelson’s stories are very troubling, but unfortunately not uncommon. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has become nothing more than a tool for employers to exploit migrant working people and to pursue a low-wage agenda.” Jennison-Yung and Nelson, who worked in the restaurant for 14 and 28 years respectively, were first notified in early March, along with other fulltime staff members, that they were being terminat-ed as a “cost-cutting measure.” The Weyburn Travelodge is now staffed almost entirely by temporary foreign workers. If this situation is truly unfolding as it appears, this is just plain wrong and unacceptable. “The Temporary Foreign Worker Program was originally intended as a way to access highly-specialized, highly-skilled working people that are not avail-able in Canada. What it has become is a first resort for employers that are willing to exploit migrant working people as cheap labour, and it should be eliminated. The Federal governments’ recent ‘tinker-ing’ with the program has done nothing to reduce the abuse,” claims the SFL. We need to do some close examining of this program and if need be, a complete overhaul. Fair is fair after all.

To the Editor: The 2004 federal-provincial health accord recently completed its 10-year run, and expired on schedule. Though heralded at the time of its signing as a landmark agreement that would solve many of the wait times issues plaguing Canada’s healthcare system, in ret-rospect it achieved very little and was very expensive to boot. And yet, some misguided news commentators, ex-premiers, and ce-lebrities lamented its demise. These voices were reinforced by a series of nationwide protests (organized by groups like the Canadian Health Coalition) that were designed to scare Canadians into thinking that the expiration of the 2004 health ac-cord will lead to a collapse of Cana-da’s healthcare system. Of course, it means nothing of the sort. The Canada Health Act remains fully intact and continues to set the terms and conditions that dictate transfer payments from the federal government to the provinces for health care, .i.e. public administra-tion, comprehensiveness, univer-sality, portability, and accessibil-ity. The 2004 health accord simply specifi ed that the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) – the major federal funding transfer to the provinces for health – would grow at 6 per cent annually for 10 years until 2014. Additionally, the end of the 2004 Health Accord does not end health transfers to provinces. In fact, the federal government has already promised an extension of the an-nual six per cent increase in trans-fer payments until 2016/17. After that, the rate of increase will be set by a three-year moving average of nominal economic growth, with a minimum three per cent annual in-crease guaranteed regardless of the state of the economy. Despite all this, some, such as the Canadian Health Coalition, are trying to convince the public that the possibility of smaller increases – note, increases but simply not as

large -in years when the economy is not doing well, actually constitutes a decrease or cut in spending to the tune of $36 billion. To help illustrate this absurd logic, all one has to do is look at the CHT projections from the very same report that the coalition cites. It es-timates a federal health transfer of $30 billion in 2013/14, and projects a $47 billion transfer in 2023/24. Clearly, no “cut” in spending there.

Further, the total federal health transfers to the provinces over this 10 year period add up to almost $400 billion – while annual “in-creases” after 2013 alone add up to about $17 billion. Again, no “cuts” there either. So, how then do they come up with the $36 billion dollar cut? Why, by employing a hypothetical projec-tion over 10 years that assumes larger annual increases than those increases promised by the federal government – and then simply call-ing the difference a “spending cut.” Read that paragraph again. No “decreases” in health transfers any-where. There remains, however, the im-portant question of whether the end of the 2004 health accord might mean longer wait times for patients in the future. The answer to this question is less clear. The previous health ac-cord also created national wait time benchmarks, attempted to tackle

wait times, and established the Health Council of Canada to moni-tor progress (or lack, thereof). However, not only were the es-tablished benchmarks incredibly long (for example about six months for hip replacement), but they only applied to fi ve “priority” procedures – and even then were generally not met. In fact, the Health Council of Canada itself noted that “wait time benchmarks are not yet fully met in most of the priority areas”, and that “overall, the accords didn’t lead to the major changes that were ex-pected.” Big surprise, given that the de-cade-old health accord never sought to change Canada’s queue-style approach to health care into some-thing more European. The result of such non-action, as the Fraser Institute’s annual report on wait times found when other specialties were included, was that Canadians faced an 18 week wait from refer-ral by a general practitioner to re-ceipt of treatment in 2013 – about the same length of time they faced in 2004 (when the accord was in-troduced) – and signifi cantly higher than the nine week wait they faced in 1993. Unfortunately, given the current government monopoly on health-care insurance, the lack of appro-priate incentives, and an unwilling-ness to consider policies to reduce wait times that seem to have been successful in European countries with universal health care, it is en-tirely possible that Canadians may continue to experience some of the longest wait times in the developed world. This undesirable situation will, however, certainly not be the result of the end of 2004 health accord. In fact, the experiences of the last decade have convincingly demon-strated that simply throwing more taxpayer money at the waiting time problem will not make it go away.

To the Editor:

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been subjected to a barrage of catastroph-ic climate change forecasts. To avoid “death, injury, and disrupted liveli-hoods,” to quote from the recent report of the United Nations Intergovernmen-tal Panel on Climate Change, we must make costly changes to the way we gen-erate energy. But the reports of the Nongovern-mental International Panel on Climate Change show that there is nothing ex-traordinary about today’s climate and there is little evidence that dangerous man-made effects are on the horizon. Global warming campaigners re-spond by following a strategy taught in law school: “if the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If the facts are not on your side, pound the table.” This ap-proach is backfiring. In a U.S. Gallup poll conducted in early March, global warming ranked 14th out of 15 issues respondents were asked about. After years of making forecasts that are not coming true, climate campaigners are not taken seriously by a large fraction of the population. So we are seeing an increasing use of the ‘Noble Lie’, a concept introduced by Plato in The Republic. Plato believed that most people lacked the intelligence to behave in ways that are in their own and society’s best interest. Consequent-ly, he advocated creating religious lies that are fed to the public to keep them happy and under control. False pro-paganda to enhance public welfare is completely acceptable, Plato argued. Many opinion leaders obviously doubt, or are agnostic about, dangerous hu-man-caused climate change. However, they judge that widespread acceptance of climate concerns will encourage pol-lution reduction, energy conservation, increased foreign aid, crop biotechnol-ogy, alternative and nuclear energy, and even personal fitness, social jus-tice, and world government – things they regard as beneficial to society. So they engage in noble lies about climate, keeping their doubts to themselves so as to advance progressive policies. But this is a slippery slope. As the pubic come to realize that they have been misled about climate change, they become cynical about actions they would normally support. For example, many people who support energy con-servation oppose Earth Hour because they regard the climate concerns on which the event is based as unfounded. Some even intentionally increase their energy consumption during the event. Crying wolf is damaging sensible envi-ronmentalism and even science itself. Telling the noble lie that the science of climate change is ‘settled’ so as to encourage constructive ‘solutions’ is also counterproductive. If we already understand the science, then why fund climate research at all? In reality, the science is so immature that we do not even know if warming or cooling lie ahead so continuing climate research is crucial if we are to properly prepare for the future.


‘Noble lies’ are damaging

Don’t weep over the end of it

To the Editor:

At a meeting last week of the Regina & District Chamber of Commerce, I was asked about the single most pressing prior-ity for Canada’s economy. In my opinion, that priority is sus-tained and sustainable economic growth. More than anything else, growth is what’s needed to lift the fortunes of the middle-class and all those who are working so hard just to get there. And growth is an absolute imperative in balancing the federal budget on a secure foundation, and keeping it balanced. But growth has been missing from most of Canada since the 2008 recession. In fact, during Stephen Harper’s tenure in of-fi ce, economic growth has aver-aged barely 1.5 per cent per year. That’s the worst performance of any Prime Minister since R.B. Bennett in the 1930’s. Looking forward, the Bank of Canada has just down-graded its growth forecast for the com-ing year. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and De-velopment (OECD) is projecting 138 other countries will grow faster this year than will Can-ada, including Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and our two NAFTA partners, Mex-ico and the United States. And according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), among G-7 countries, both the US and the UK will out-grow Canada in

2014. So, despite all Mr. Harper’s boasting, Canada is not leading the pack. Month-by-month, our trade balance is mostly in defi -cit. Consumer demand is weak, over-burdened by record levels of household debt. Businesses lack suffi cient confi dence to invest signifi cantly in new expansions, training or technology. Mr. Harper argues that the best thing he can do – indeed, the only thing he should do – is to keep cutting the Government of Canada to make it as small and irrelevant as possible. But with all due respect, he’s wrong. You cannot hack-and-slash your way to economic growth. Grind-ing austerity, driven by ideology, is no guarantee of prosperity. Yes, Canada needs strong, dis-ciplined management. You have to be prudent. You can’t afford waste – like half-a-billion-dol-lars squandered on self-serving, tax-paid government advertis-ing. But you also need smart in-vestments in the underpinnings of future growth. Here are a few suggestions: 1. An immediate reduction in Employment Insurance payroll taxes which the Harper govern-ment has hiked to entirely exces-sive levels, raking in more than $5-billion over and above what’s required to cover benefi ts. 2. For start-up enterprises and those with limited cash-fl ows, a new Refundable Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance to trig-ger timely investments in growth

and innovation. 3. Make family Tax Cred-its for such things as enrolling kids in sports and arts programs equally available to lower-in-come families, and not just high-er-income earners only. 4. Accelerate federal in-vestments in municipal infra-structure projects (instead of cutting-back by 87 per cent) be-cause this type of federal spend-ing is the most cost-effective way to foster more jobs and growth, while converting the temporary advantage of low interest rates into durable, long-term capital assets. 5. Consistent and increasing federal support for science, re-search and innovation, including partnerships with the private sector to advance applied science and strong support for curiosity-based, pure science. 6. Better access to all forms of post-secondary education, in-cluding universities, colleges, technical schools, apprentice-ships, on-the-job training, etc. Higher learning and skills are the key to successful living, and also key to a more prosper-ous, competitive, productive and growing economy. Taken together, ideas like these will do far more than Mr. Harper’s austerity to build a more prosperous middle-class and more securely balanced bud-gets.

9. Saskatchewan 123, Cumberland House 10. Saskatchewan 51, Kerrobert The CAA 2014 Worst Roads Campaign invites

motorists to nominate and vote for what they believe is the worst road they’ve travelled on re-cently in the province. Votes can be recorded

online at caask.ca/wor-stroads until April 25th, 2014. A road qualifi es as a “worst” if it is in general disrepair with potholes, severe rutting, cracks,

Your chance to vote for Sask’s worst road


The lie that we know how to control planetary climate has resulted in 94 per cent of the approxi-mately $1 billion a day spent worldwide on climate finance being allocated to trying to control condi-tions that might be experienced by future genera-tions. Only six per cent goes to helping people adapt to climate change in the present. Commentators from across the political spectrum have labeled this approach immoral.Finally, exaggerated climate concerns have distract-ed governments from properly addressing the real long-term energy crisis. It is that, as humanity’s us-age of hydrocarbon fuels continues to rise, they will become increasingly scarce and so more expensive. We therefore need carefully planned, long-term en-ergy research and development, not only to improve the way we use today’s fuels, but also to develop cost-effective alternatives. Yet because of the obsession with climate, billions of dollars that could be spent on energy research and real pollution abatement are wasted on useless and potentially dangerous projects such as pump-ing carbon dioxide underground and the widespread deployment of unsustainable technologies like wind power. This impoverishes society, making us less able to afford activities we need to enhance energy security and protect the health of our citizens and the environment. The idea that we control the climate of planet Earth will eventually be widely regarded as a costly mistake. Experts who knew this but promoted the deception for what they considered good reasons will be disgraced. Then no one will believe scientists when they warn us of real wolves at our doors.

FANS OF THE FIDDLE AND STEP DANCING will won’t want to miss the Everything Fitz. The Stars forSaskatchewan 2013-14 season wraps up with Everything Fitz on May 6.

Everything Fitz draws close to ‘Stars’ events

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Fans of the fiddle and step dancing will won’t want to miss the Everything Fitz. The Stars for Saskatchewan 2013-14 season wraps up with this group in Yorkton on May 6. The group consists of the Fitzgerald family, with Julie, Kerry and Tom each on fiddle and parents Paddy and Pam doing additional instru-ments. Three members of the band also do pre-cision step dancing. Pam Fitzgerald says It’s a varied show, and the goal is to mix new sounds that the kids like to play with standards that audienc-es always enjoy, Fitzgerald says. “We try to have enough variety that there’s something there somebody will like. We do a little bit of blue-grass, a little bit of jazz, a bit of vocal, some Celtic.” One of the big high-lights of every perfor-mance is the step danc-ing, and Fitzgerald says that while there are many fiddle groups, they try to set them-selves apart by making dancing a large part of every performance. She says that it’s fast, unique and carefully choreographed, which makes for an energetic and special performance for audiences. Family bands are something of a tradition in fiddle music, and Fitzgerald says that it might be because fiddle events are often family affairs, with everyone in a family picking up the instrument and playing. She notes they’re inspired by the Leahy family band, and they found inspiration

in their music before becoming a group on their own. Forming a band has made the family closer, Fitzgerald says, and it has allowed them to experience things they might not have other-wise been able to as they tour around the world. She also says that from their perspec-tive, they are seeing the kids taking a leading role in the show, and growing as artists and performers. “It’s a way that we’ve gotten to travel together as a family... We’ve seen a lot of country we wouldn’t have otherwise seen as a family. As parents, it can be hard when your kids are growing up and moving away, but this keeps them coming home and keeps us together. Also, as siblings they are their best friends. You have to be able to get along in order to be able to do this, so it’s kept everybody together.” Saskatchewan is one of the favorite places of the group, says Fitzgerald, and it’s also where the family got its start as a band, as the guest artists at the Golden Saskatchewan Fiddle Contest. It was also the province where they had one of their first big tours, and a place where the band loves to return year after year. “Saskatchewan is one of our favorite places to tour... We find that the hospitality is incredible, the audiences really seem to enjoy fiddle music.” Everything Fitz will be in Yorkton on May 6 as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series. Tickets are available at yorktonarts.ca or by calling 306-783-8722.

How many recipes have you seen that list water as an ingredient? A pasta sauce recipe, for example, may say to add a cup of water. How much flavour does water have? Nothing. I am always preaching to be innova-tive while cooking and add ingredients other than water such as wine, broth, beer, juice, etc because they have more flavour. Although most can, some recipes cannot adapt to this type of mod-ification. It will usually depend on the amount of s e a s o n i n g s / f l a v o u r already in the dish. The first thing to exam-ine is the amount of water the recipe sug-gests. If the amount is of minuscule proportion, then typically replacing the water shouldn’t be a concern. The choice of distinctive liquid would accent the existing fla-vours without risk of overpowering of the dish. If the recipe states a large quantity of water, then one must examine what the other ingredi-ents are and how much flavour they will impart on their own. This is not as complicated as it may sound. The most effective way to determine if a rec-ipe can accept any varia-tion is to make it the way it is written first and then listen to your taste buds. Could it use more flavour? If so, what would compliment it and how pungent/mellow can the liquid be? Maybe just replacing a portion of the water would be the solu-tion or leaving the recipe in its original state is just fine. Make notes in your cookbooks for future reference. Rice cooked in chicken

stock, for example, has more flavour than if it was cooked in only water. I know that may seem quite obvious, so let me give you some ideas with the following liquids: Red Wine or Dark Beer are great additions to red meat and tomato dishes, such as pasta sauce, gra-vies, chili, stir-fry’s, soups, stews, etc. A gen-eral ‘rule of thumb’ is the stronger the flavours in a certain dish, then the more robust wine/beer it can handle as an ingredi-ent. White Wine is better suited to cream sauces, poultry gravies, lighter soups, and seafood. Broth, Stock, or Vegetable Juices can be paired up with certain dishes, based on the fla-vours you want to impart, albeit chicken, beef or vegetable. Broth/stock is an option for almost any savoury dish. Fruit Juices can also be used in savoury dishes (savoury is the opposite of sweet). A delicious example would be an orange ginger stir-fry made from orange juice. These are only sugges-tions as there are count-less options and combi-nations to try. Keep tast-ing and taking notes. Your cookbooks may turn our looking like high-school textbooks, but for the sake of better eating

– it is worth it.

Dear Chef Dez:

If I don’t have white wine and a recipe calls for it as an ingredient, what can I use instead?

Tim M.Nanaimo, BC

Dear Tim: If you want to keep the recipe tasting as close to the way it was written then I would suggest white grape juice or apple juice, as long as the quan-tity is minimal. The main consideration with fruit juices is their higher sugar content could dras-tically affect the outcome of the recipe. Therefore it is better to use them in smaller quantities, unless your goal is a sweet fin-ish. Darker berry and grape juices can also be used in small amounts in place of red wine.

Chef Dez on Cooking

Sacred Heart High School students travelled to Prince Albert April 10-11 to compete at the 16th annual Provincial Skills Competition. Those in attendance had the oppor-tunity to compete in various trade and technology areas against other stu-dents from across the province. For some students the competition allows them the opportunity to see post-secondary options and allows them to learn more within there cho-sen area. Other students had the privilege to showcase the talents that they have learned at Sacred Heart High School. Competing from Sacred Heart included: Raya Tolentino for 3D Animation, Brett Skaluba for Graphic Design, Kris Pidperyhora and Chelsey Yesnik for Mechanical CADD, Montana Balysky for Public Speaking, Robotics team #1-Noah Jendrasheske, Austin Walkington and Dylan Lemcke, Robotics team #2-Evan LaJambe, Nicholas Kerr and Daniel McCoshen, TV Video Production was Jacob Link and Mat Martsinkiw as a team, and

for Welding was Jared Buzinski. Sacred Heart took 14 competitors in seven competition areas and brought home five medals. Montana won the Bronze medal for Public Speaking, Kris Pidperyhora took the Bronze in Mechanical CADD, TV Video Production team who consisted of Jacob Link and Mat Martsinkiw won the Silver medal, and Raya Tolentino won the Gold medal in 3D Animation. As a result of the placings, Raya now advances to the National Skills Competition which will be held on June 4-7 in Toronto. He will be accom-panied by Hanna Hansen to form a team to compete. Hanna was unable to attend the provincial competition as she was already competing at the Regional Drama Festival. “I would like to congratulate the entire Saints Skills Team for all the time they put in preparing for the competition. I would like to thank Apperley Electric who once again sponsored our Robotics team this year,” says coordinator Curtis Moen.

MEDAL WINNERS pictured (l-r) are: Back Row - Jacob Link, Mat Martsinkiw, Mon-tana Balysky and Kris Pidperyhora. Front Row - Raya Tolentino.

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on get-ting settled in Hazel Dell. I just love spring! It’s getting sunnier and warmer each day! It’s amazing how quickly the snow melts from the sun and wind, creating a mine field of doggie droppings, but a shovel quickly dis-arms the little messy mines. The animals enjoy the warmer weather as well, as they are basking themselves in the sun. The mud in the yard dries up pretty quick, turning it into a playground for the dogs. I was talking to my twin brother the other day, and we got talking

about some old expres-sions or sayings that are still in use in Norway. They can become quite humorous when translat-ed to English, so here is Norwegian Language les-son for beginners. Fy Flate! Is a mild explicit used instead of swearing, and in English it becomes Ugh Surface! It has no meaning whatsoever! Er Du Svimmel? This could be asked of a person who makes a stupid state-ment. Translated to Are You Dizzy? When stand-ing your ground in an argument, you might add Haeren Floette Meg! just to emphasize your state-ment. Translated to English The Army Move Me! Some expressions originate from relation-

ships as in Hardt Mot Hardt Sa Kjaerringa Hun Feis Mot Tordenvaeret! This expression might be used by someone observ-ing a wife getting bent out of shape over an insig-nificant mistake made by her husband. It literary means Tough action requires tougher reaction said the wife as she turned and farted at the thunderstorm! Or if you have an accident on a Sunday afternoon, some-one might say Der Fikk Du For Du Feis I Kjerka! used to explain the rea-son for the accident. Aptly translated to That’s Because You Farted In Church! When soliciting for a contribution one might hear Alle Monner Drar Sa Musa Og Pisset I Havet! used to describe how even the smallest amount can be of benefit. It translates to All That’s Available Will Help Said The Mouse As He Peed In The Ocean! Speaking of languages, I have been able to amass some puns over the years, and I like to share some of them with you. Please don’t groan! OK, first one: Those addicted to drink-ing brake fluid can’t stop! Next: Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He’s all right now! And then: The book I’m reading about anti-gravity is impossible to put down! Did I hear a groan? He wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger, then it hit him! Uffda! He used to have a fear of hurdles, but he got over it! Stay with me! To write with a broken pencil is pointless! Was that a groan I just heard? People who do acupuncture are back stabbers! Don’t fall asleep! A new type of broom came on the mar-ket, it’s sweeping the nation! OK, go ahead, groan! Atheism is a non-prophet organization! Not bad! He used to be a banker, but he lost inter-est! Hang in there! The experienced car-penter really nailed it, but the new guy screwed everything up! Next. No one knew he had an upper

denture plate until it came out in a conversa-tion! Ugh! A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat! Just a few more! England doesn’t have a kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool! Then. Calves take well to bottle feeding because one nip-ple is as good as an udder! Almost at the end! John Deere’s manure spreader is the only implement the company won’t stand behind! And finally. My wife tells me that I’m a sceptic, but I don’t believe a word she says! A good friend of mine was touring Norway and Sweden recently, and picked up a malady that required him to go to a medical clinic in Stockholm, Sweden. The Swedish doctor examined him and prescribed some pain killers with the fol-lowing instructions: “It’s very important that you take this medicine exactly

30 minutes before you feel the pain.” Kari had just finished high school in Norway, and had accepted a sum-mer job as an au pair with a family in Preeceville. She was interviewed by the Lady of the house. As the inter-view was coming to an end, the Lady of the house asked Kari: “Do you have any religious views?” “No,” said Kari, “but I’ve got some nice pic-tures of Norway.” Kari’s boyfriend Sven had travelled with her to Preeceville, and got a job operating heavy equip-ment for a local contrac-tor. One day Sven came back to work after lunch fifteen minutes late, and the boss asked Sven where he had been. “I got a haircut,” said Sven. “Oh really?” said the boss, “on company time?” “Well,” replied Sven, “my hair grew on company time!”

“Not all of it!” said the boss. “I didn’t get it all cut off either,” Sven retorted. Sven got an apartment close to where Kari was living, and he was show-ing off his apartment to some of his new Canadian friends late one night. Bob noticed a brass gong next to Sven’s bed, and asked: “What’s with the big brass gong by your bed?” “That’s not a gong, it’s a talking clock,” Sven replied. “Seriously?” asked Bob, “a talking clock?” “Yup,” replied Sven. “How does it work?” Bob asked, squinting at it. “Watch this,” Sven replied. He picked up the mallet, and gave it an ear-shattering blow, then stepped back. They stood looking at one another for a second, then suddenly, someone in the next apartment screamed: “You idiot! It’s three o’clock in the morning!”

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in

Coming into the 2013-14 Saskatch-ewan Junior Jockey League season as defending champions and boasting a stacked roster of returning players the Yorkton Terriers had the pressure to repeat as Canalta Cup champions from Day One. The Terriers lived up to that pressure, completing their sea-son long mission to repeat as league champions with a convincing 4-0 win over the Melville Millionaires to com-plete a four game sweep on their way to the title. After winning the opening two games of the SJHL Finals in overtime before beating the Mils in regulation time at the Farrell Agencies Arena in Game Three the Terriers would travel to Melville knowing that they could make history by sweeping their historic rivals in the fi rst ever league championship series between the two franchises. For Melville it would be one last chance to get back into the se-ries and prove to the rest of the prov-ince that they belonged in the fi nal with the Terriers despite shocking the SJHL all season long as the Cinderella story under head coach Jaime Fiesel. As they had all season, the Mils would be relying on goaltender Isaiah Plett to keep them afl oat even in Game Four as the Millionaires required hero-ics from their goaltender in an opening period where the Terriers controlled play despite the do or die situation for Melville on their home ice. Still Plett would keep them alive, making all 12 saves in a period where Melville held on despite being outshot 12-7. Plett’s solid play would continue into a second period where Melville would begin to make their push in a game that continued to drag on as scoreless before disaster struck for both Plett and the Mils. On a breakaway stretch pass from Brady Norrish, Kailum Ger-vais found himself wide open on goal as Plett would blow out his leg skating out to cut down the angle on Gervais’ breakaway attempt. Plett would make

the initial save, but Gervais would tap in the rebound as the goaltender laid down in pain and agony with an injury that forced him out of his fi nal Junior hockey game. In his place was backup Richard Palmer, who coming in cold was thrown to the wolves with the Terriers now having all of the momentum thanks to a late second period goal that lifted the spirits of the well travelled Terri-ers fans who made the trip for the po-tential of seeing a lifted championship at the end of the night. With the Yorkton crowd making noise, Dylan Baer scored on the fi rst shot attempt on Palmer to give the Terriers a 2-0 lead and all but seal the sweep heading into the fi nal period with Melville’s slimmest hopes of get-ting back in the series all but crushed

with Plett’s unfortunate injury. Tyler Giebel would make it 3-0 in the third to continue the countdown celebration to the Terriers back to back league titles, but it would be a new face that would provide a fi tting fi nal exclamation point as acquired top goalscorer Brett Boehm would fi nd a late goal for his 10th of the playoffs to make it a 4-0 fi nal. For Yorkton it was an end that head coach Trent Cassan was extremely proud of after his Terrier team com-pleted a mission they had set out for themselves ever since a crushing 1-0 loss to the Brooks Bandits at the 2013 Western Canada Cup left them one game short of a Royal Bank Cup ap-pearance.

“I am extremely proud of the way this team has played this season,” says Cassan. “We had a group of a lot of returning players who had the desire to win, young guys who wanted to be apart of the group and a locker room full of leaders that I couldn’t be more proud of.” Despite the pressure of being defending cham-pions in Yorkton, a city that is known for high expectations when it comes to its Junior A hockey team especially when it is winning, Cassan says there was no feelings of that pressure inside of the locker room and that he wanted his team to cele-brate the honor of winning the Saskatchewan title. “There seemed to be a lot of pressure coming from outside of the team after winning last year and having so many players come back, but that was never something we discussed or paid atten-tion to,” mentions Cassan who was the head coach of both title winning teams. “What we did have was a group of leaders and players who enjoy playing with each other wanting to win for our-selves and to be Saskatchewan champions for a second time is a huge accomplishment for these young men that I want them to celebrate.” Captain Devon McMullen, who scored the win-ning overtime goal in Game Two on the road to deliver the turning point of the series, summed up Cassan’s feelings after winning his second SJHL title in three finals appearances over his career in Yorkton. “It is an amazing experience,” says McMullen. “Every year you want to be champions and to be able to experience this with teammates that are so close is hard to put into words right now.” McMullen’s second title as a captain caps one of the best careers in Yorkton Terriers history as the undersized defenseman from Moosimin who spent both his Midget AAA and Junior career in the city finished his SJHL career with three finals appear-ances, two titles, and an amazing 51 playoff games played. Playing in Yorkton for so long with so many familiar faces, McMullen noted the spe-cial moment of being able to finish his career in the SJHL with the title. “I have been lucky to be able to play in Yorkton for a long time with great teammates, coaches, and fans, you name it,” says McMullen. “To be able to win another SJHL title and in a historic final against Melville is definitely something I will never forget.” Goaltender Kale Thomson was monumental in the Terriers championship run as the Yorkton born goaltender who along with McMullen has spent his time with the Harvest and the Terriers for much of his hockey career as a teenager had a dominant Finals performance behind the Terriers blueline. With his Game Four shutout Thomson allowed just three goals over four games against the Millionaires, in the end outdueling Plett despite facing less traffic. After sitting on the bench last season after Dawson MacAuley took the starting job down the stretch, Thomson cher-ished every moment of winning the SJHL title as a starter in a deserved end to his career in the league with his hometown team. “I would be lying if I didn’t say it is a different experience winning the title being on the ice for every moment as opposed to watching from the bench,” says Thomson. “After winning last year and coming up short from the RBC Cup we were all motivated to get back here and especially for

myself because I wanted to win the league title again especially knowing that I would likely be the starter the whole season.” Being from Yorkton, Thomson also relished in the moment of getting to beat Melville in the Finals for the first time in history while giving credit to his opponent in the other side of the crease. “There was a lot of hype going into the series surrounding pretty much everything because of the Yorkton and Melville rivalry,” explains Thomson. “Especially with me and Isaiah being the two best goaltenders in the league a lot of people were really talking about it coming into the series and he is an excellent goalie so he deserves credit and it was a great feeling to be able to beat a strong opposing goalie and our rivals in the final.” Despite the celebrations in Melville on the ice, many Terriers players also weren’t afraid to finally address a topic that was silently surround-ing the team all season: redemption. “We knew all season that we wanted to go to win the league again and try to get to the Royal Bank Cup,” MVP Chase Norrish says. “To fall one goal short to the eventual champions hurt and we had a lot of returning guys who all had one goal which was to win the league and keep pushing forward to getting one step further this year by making the RBC Cup.” Terriers head coach Trent Cassan, one of the coolest customers in the SJHL when it comes to downplaying the situation used the long layoff thanks to winning before the Easter long week-end to deflect any type of comments on the

Western Canada cup in the wake of celebrations like the savvy coach he is. “We just won the SJHL championship so I am focused on that right now and we will get focused on the Western Canada Cup after Easter,” Cassan exclaimed while smiling following watching his players win their second straight SJHL title. Yorkton will head to Dauphin this weekend as one of the favorites to advance to the Royal Bank Cup out of the five hopefuls that will be vyying for a top two finish to advance. As the only returning team to the Western Canada Cup the Terriers will be hoping to use that experience to their advantage as they enter the round robin, one game format that is vastly different from playoff hockey. “We know what to expect now which I think will be huge for us,” says Norrish. “It is very different from playoff hockey knowing that every game is so important and playing teams that you have never seen before that you might not get a second chance against so having that experience in going through this tournament before as a team and being able to let the rest of our team that hasn’t been there know what to expect is something that we feel could be huge for us.” After two league titles and two seasons of domi-nating the SJHL as a team the mini-dynasty of the Yorkton Terriers will now be trying to stretch their magical ride together just a little longer. This time they will be hoping to play the role of experienced favorites, shedding their young underdog status in their quest to prove to the country that they belong in the RBC Cup.

Terriers celebrate title, turn focus on Dauphin

YORKTON TERRIERS players celebrate on Melville’s ice after winning the SJHL title for a second straight year with a four game sweep over the Mils. Next will be a second straight appearance in the Western Canada Cup, something a veteran laden group is planning on being a redemption story for the Terriers.

Yorkton Exhibition cancels harness racing for 2014


By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

With Yorkton officially back in the Western Canada Cup field after their second SJHL title earned them their spot in the second ever tourna-ment to decide the Western CJHL bids for the Royal Bank Cup the focus shifts to determin-ing the contenders in a field of five of the best Junior A hockey teams in Western Canada.

Coquitlam (BCHL), Spruce Grove (AJHL), Winnipeg (MJHL) and hosts Dauphin will be the four teams in the way of the hungry Terriers for the two spots in the RBC Cup in Vernon, BC. With all four teams besides the defending champions from Yorkton being new faces in the WCC here is what you need to know about each team, how they got here, who to watch, and what chances they have at winning the tourna-ment that kicks off this weekend in Dauphin.

Coquitlam Express (BCHL)

Coquitlam’s entry into the Western Canada Cup could be received as ini-tial blessing as the Express’ 27-26-2-3 record was good enough for just eighth in the BCHL regu-lar season standings, but after a deep playoff run the Express will be look-ing to carry forward that momentum in order to get a BCHL team to the RBC Cup yet again after the Surrey Eagles won the Western Canada Cup last year in Nanaimo.

How They Got Here

After finishing third in their division, the Express turned it on at exactly the right time in the BCHL Playoffs. Dealing with a seven hour road trip to face Prince George the Express got through Round One before beating the best team in the BCHL in the Langley Rivermen in six games to win the Mainland Division. From there the Express outlasted a three team round robin to advance to the Fred Page Cup to take on the RBC Cup host Vernon Vipers. With Vernon already hav-ing an RBC Cup spot as hosts and little to play for it was no surprise that the Express won in four straight games, but their victory in what is regard-ed as the best Junior A hockey league in the coun-try is something that Western Canada Cup opponents will not be tak-ing lightly.

Who to Watch

Ryan Rosenthal: Coquitlam will arguably go as far as this future Northeastern University talent will take them as the 20 year old Rosenthal already has NCAA aspi-rations on his mind and will be looking to end his Junior career in style after becoming the star of the 2014 BCHL Playoffs with 14 goals and 21 points. The Express’ cap-tain hails from New Jersey and is just one of ten Express players with college commitments already.

Canon/Bo Pieper: Like the Terriers, the Express have themselves a deadly NCAA bound brother duo of their own grabbing headlines. Both Minnesota born and NCAA commit-ted as future Quinnipiac University talents, the Pieper’s both broke the 25 goal mark in the regular season and will be key players in the Express’ WCC run.

Who’s In Goal

Gordie Defiel: Defiel started every playoff game for the Express and should be expected to do so again in the WCC barring inju-ry/rest reasons. Shaky in the regular season with a well below average 20-21 record and a 3.69 GAA things were naturally bet-ter for Defiel in the play-offs where he was 14-5 with a 2.69 GAA. If the Express’ studded roster wants to continue the BCHL’s early dominance under this new RBC Cup qualification format Defiel will have to play like he did in the playoffs, and not like the mediocre goal-tender his stats from the regular season indicate.

What are Their Chances?

The Express have to be considered as one of the two favorites to earn a qualification spot in the RBC Cup solely based on the quality of the BCHL, a league that as you can see grabs the best American players who want to ply their trade in Canada without losing their NCAA eligibility. Players like Rosenthal and the Pieper’s are what make the BCHL so respected around the country and so dangerous under a one game format like the WCC. If teams don’t step up to play the Express’ skill could be intimidating for some in Dauphin. Still with their paltry regular season record it is hard to peg Coquitlam as favorites as they will have to prove that they just didn’t get hot at the right time in the BCHL Playoffs and that they deserve to be amongst the champions of Western Canada.

Spruce Grove Saints (AJHL)

Just like the Brooks Bandits of the 2013 AJHL Playoffs, Spruce Grove dominated in the regular season before earning their spot in the WCC with a league title. While the Saints may have been more human with 13 loss-es on the season, a 47-10-3 record as well as a +100 goal differential are eye popping numbers that will help the Saints get a lot of respect from oppos-ing coaches preparing for the quick turnaround from league playoffs to the Cup format.

How They Got Here

Spruce Grove didn’t earn the AJHL title without a fight as the Saints nearly were upset in the quarter-finals where after a bye they were nearly upset by Sherwood Park in seven games. From there the Saints were tested yet again in the Conference Finals, nearly getting knocked off in another seven game series with a highly ranked Fort McMurray Oil Barons team that at one point was #1 in the CJHL Top 20. In the AJHL Final things were more easy for the Saints as they swept Drumheller in four straight to lift the Gas Cup.

Who to Watch

Cameron Hughes: Hughes was a top scorer for the Saints in the regu-lar season, but since the playoffs the center has shown more of a flair for playmaking than any-thing. With just one goal, Hughes still remains a scoring leader for Spruce Grove with a staggering 16 assists. It will be inter-esting to see if that play-making can continue in Dauphin.

Parker Mackay: MacKay was the leading scorer for Spruce Grove with 58 points in the regular sea-son before cooling off a bit in the AJHL Playoffs with just 11. If Spruce Grove want to move onto the RBC Cup getting more scoring would be a huge boost.

Who’s in Goal

Kenny Cameron: Cameron is the veteran goalie for the Saints and played in all but four of Spruce Grove’s playoff games, winning 10 with a GAA of 2.18. The former Medicine Hat Tiger should be expected to start the bulk of the games in Dauphin for the Saints, but they do have a prom-ising youngster in Tanner McCorriston who went 13-3 in the regular sea-son.


Like Coquitlam, the Saints will be hoping that the stereotype of the AJHL and BCHL being a notch above the Prairie leagues holds true and with regular season as well as postseason suc-cess Spruce Grove should be considered as favorites. With several NCAA com-mitted players just like the Express there will be pressure on the Saints to show why their system of bringing in college hungry talent breeds success. In enemy territory it may be easier said than done, but based on the regular sea-son records few teams can claim the favorite role as easy as the Saints in this tournament.

Winnipeg Blues (MJHL)

Winnipeg will enter the WCC as one of two host province teams as the reigning MJHL champi-ons, defeating the host Dauphin Kings to com-plete a wild run to the league title after finishing fourth in the Addison Division during the regu-lar season. Like the Steinbach Pistons last year the Blues will once again be the massive underdogs in the Western Canada Cup, but will be relying on the magic con-tinuing in the WCC while staying in their home province.

How They Got Here

Winnipeg got to the WCC on a wild run to the MJHL Final. After finishing fourth the Blues defeated Winkler before upsetting highly ranked Selkirk and defending champion Steinbach on their way to the final where their appearance in the Western Canada Cup was already assured taking on hosts Dauphin. In the end Winnipeg would lift the MJHL title in a five game series win over the Kings to earn bragging rights and carry momentum for-ward into the Western Canada Cup.

Who to Watch

Liam Bilton: Bilton was the top scorer in the MJHL Playoffs with 17 points.

Clay Tait: Tait is a hotscoring rookie who was second on the Blues in playoff scoring with 14 points, solid contributions from the 1996 born for-ward.

Channing Bresciani:Few defenseman have had as successful offen-sive numbers during the playoffs than Bresciani who posted 13 points and two goals during the MJHL Playoffs, including one game winner.

Who’s in Goal

Byron Sprrigs: Sprrigswill be one of the hottest goalies coming into the Western Canada Cup as save for Yorkton’s Kale Thomson there is no net-minder in better form than Sprrigs. In fact Sprrigs 1.67 GAA over the course of 17 MJHL Playoffs games is better than any goalie in the tournament and the Blues will need that type of effort from Sprrigs as they step up in competition to take on the champions from the rest of Western Canada. With lights out performances against top seeded Selkirk and Steinbach, Sprrigs confi-dence may just be high enough to make things interesting for opponents trying to outscore the Blues.


Not good, while the Blues may be MJHL champions they will have the hardest path to the Royal Bank Cup. With no home ice advantage or strong regu-lar season to fall back on and one of the weakest rosters in the tournament it would come as no sur-prise to see the Blues become the first team eliminated from RBC Cup hopes in Dauphin. Still with Sprrigs playing out of his head recently there is hope that the Blues can find enough goaltending to bother teams en route to a Cinderella run, even if the chances of that are slim.

Dauphin Kings (MJHL/Host)

Dauphin are the hosts of the Western Canada Cup and earned an automatic bid to the tournament, but they are no slouches as Sherwood Division champions in both the regular season and playoff champions in reaching the league final. Retooling their roster after a slow start to make a run at a memorable host run in the Western Canada Cup, the Kings will be hoping to showcase their city and Manitoba hockey with a run to the Royal Bank Cup.

How They Got Here

Dauphin finished third in the league in regular season points, beating up on a weak Addison Division where the second place team was 15 points back of the Kings at regular season’s end. Starting the playoffs with four straight shutouts against the OCN Blizzard, Dauphin showed just how much better they were than the rest of the Sherwood Division by going 8-0 on their way to the MJHL Finals. In the Final the Kings would fall short to the Winnipeg Blues, losing in five games to the Addison Division champs.

Who to Watch

Dylan Butler: On a balanced team there is not much that sticks out on the Kings roster, but Butler managed to lead the team in playoff scoring with 14 points with seven goals to his credit. Butler also nearly averaged a point per game in the regular season as well, notching 33 points in 34 appearances for the Kings.

Who’s in Goal

Michael Stiladis: With a well documented four straight shutouts to start the MJHL Playoffs and 8 straight wins before losing to Winnipeg, Stiladis was red hot in the playoffs before crashing down to earth in the series with the Blues. Stiladis will need to find that form should Dauphin wish to contend as hosts and his stats show that he can do just that, the Kings starter was 21-5 in the regular season with a 2.50 GAA


As hosts the Kings have the best chance to grab the

role of underdogs, but like the Blues there are concerns surrounding the MJHL teams in this tournament. Namely the weak schedule the Kings played in a Sherwood Division that’s second place team had nearly 20 full points less than the second placed team in the Addison Division in Steinbach. Dauphin will have home ice advantage, but they will have to be aware that their competition will be a lot stiffer than it was most of the season when they were beating up on a division that saw three of its five teams post losing records.

Yorkton Terriers (SJHL)

As you already may know, the Yorkton Terriers are the only WCC team in the field of five that played in the inaugural 2013 tournament in Nanaimo, BC last spring. Returning the majority of their 2012/13 SJHL championship team, Yorkton added last year’s SJHL rookie of the year in Brett Boehm and never looked back finishing first in the regular season before run-ning away with the Canalta Cup.

How They Got Here

Yorkton got the Western Canada Cup for two straight seasons based on great roster building, returning well over half their team that one last year’s title with many of those players entering their final Junior seasons. With those players improving in terms of skill and experience along with rookies filling into the roles that needed to be filled, Yorkton’s excellent home ice play was rewarded with a playoff run that featured just two losses and a sweet sweep of rivals Melville in the final to earn back to back championships.

Who to Watch

Brady/Chase Norrish: It can sometimes be a broken record in Saskatchewan to praise the play of twin brothers Brady and Chase Norrish, but with the broth-er pair each having SJHL Playoffs MVP trophies to their names in successive years it is hard to not talk about the dynamic defensive duo that has a flair for the offensive highlight. Brady won the 2012 MVP, but this year it was Chase who became a star scoring 15 points in the SJHL Playoffs including a handful of OT win-ners to lead Yorkton to the title. Both are NCAA bound next season with the RIT Tigers and will be hard for new admirers to turn their eyes off of as they bring their entertaining brand of hockey on the blueline to

Dauphin.

Tayler Thompson: One of the more underrated SJHLtalents over the past two seasons, Thompson ended his WHL career to return back home to Yorkton and has thrived in a veteran’s role on the way to back to back titles. With amazing stickhandling and shooting abili-ty, Thompson’s best work can come on the penalty kill as an excellent two way player. After finally breaking out this year with a finish amongst the best scorers in the league, Thompson will likely be looking to end his career on a high note on the Terriers quest for redemp-tion.

Who’s in Goal

Kale Thomson: Barring a catastrophic injury there is little doubt that head coach Trent Cassan will be opting to start veteran workhorse Kale Thomson for all of the Terriers Western Canada Cup games as Thomson has thrived under the sole starting role after splitting time with Dawson MacAuley last year. During the playoffs last year Thomson took a seat back to the eventual co-SJHL Finals MVP in MacAuley, but when MacAuley left for the Regina Pats the Yorkton product Thomson took it upon himself to make sure that the Terriers didn’t slip between the pipes. Already proving that he can be a starter in the league Thomson played nearly every game this season and set the SJHL record for career shutouts on the way to Goalie of the Year honors. Allowing under a goal per game in the SJHL Finals, Thomson is playing the best hockey of his life and will be looking to take his boyhood team to the Royal Bank Cup with more consistent play in Dauphin.


Yorkton should be considered the tournament favorites regardless of the presence of Spruce Grove or Coquitlam in the field. After all, Yorkton is the only team that has been here before and with so much experience along with the added factor of University of Minnesota-Duluth bound Brett Boehm into the fold the Terriers will also have more firepower than they brought to Nanaimo last spring. Factor in the added year of expe-rience for star defense trio Devon McMullen as well as the Norrish twins and all signs point to the Terriers having an excellent shot at grabbing one of the two spots in the Royal Bank Cup when they leave Dauphin.

Seems like winter will just not release us from its clutches

and give our business community the chance to let in the fresh air

and allow the fl owers to grow.

But have no fear the YBID is here with Prairie Harvest and Young’s Plant World.

The annual fl ower pot program is well underway.

The folks at Young’s Plant World have our 300 plus pots planted and when the weather

and the fl owers are ready they will be distributed by the hard working people from

Prairie Harvest, the same folks who pick up our recycling blue bags every week.

The city crews have been out trying to stop the growth of those pot holes on Broadway.

We understand it is the extreme temperature shifts that cause them, but we also know

that those rather large semi tractor units have a part to play in their growth. Did you

know we do not have a designated truck route in Yorkton, maybe its time.

Congratulations to those businesses in Rediscover Downtown

who are staying open later on Thursdays, while this is a bit of a pilot project,

the more the merrier we always say. Let us know how it is going!

We encourage all of our community and out of town

visitors to drop into our YBID business members and see what they have to offer,

you will be amazed at what you will fi nd.

Once again we want to remind all our business owners to advise their staff not to park

on the streets but in assigned parking lots. A permit is $50.00 per year, leave our

streets for our clients plus the little walk will be good for your health.

Until next time Yorkton… remember shop YBID!
