parking blitz

planned

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

If you’re not parking properly, now is the time to get things right.

With winter now firmly established, the City of Yorkton is undertaking a city-wide residential parking blitz from December 16 to 20.

Trent Mandzuk with Public Works says that the goal behind the blitz is safety, both for motorists and city crews. One of the main focuses of the tickets will be cars parked on residential streets for more than 24 hours, which cause a hazard to road crews as they attempt to clear snow.

“We do get, every year, vehicles that sit for the duration of the winter, and those are the vehicles that are problematic for us,” Mandzuk says.

“When we’re out doing snow removal, if there’s somebody parked on the street, the grader has to go around it, and if that car is there for the duration of the winter, it just compounds and narrows the street... It’s just a matter of time before it starts becoming a danger for traffic.”

The goal of the blitz will be to enforce the bylaws that are in place and remind drivers to abide by them.

Other infractions tar-geted by the blitz will include improperly parked vehicles and unattached trailers, as well as other general infractions. Fines will be an average of $30, but warnings may also be issued.

Record breaking year for Sask. cropsBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

It was a bountiful harvest in Saskatchewan this year, with 38.4 million tonnes. The record-breaking crop sur-passed expectations, and Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart says that it exceeds the ambitious targets for 2020 laid out in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth. “It takes a bigger invest-ment and more risk on the part of producers to grow a super crop like this than it does to just grow an average crop. They invested big, and I am delighted for them that they got it,” Stewart says.

The crop is up 40 per cent over just last year, and 48 per cent over the ten year aver-age. A big portion of this year’s crop is canola, with the largest canola harvest on record at 8.9 million tonnes, a 37.5 per cent increase over 2012. “Canola is a big crop for a lot of the province now, and will continue to be in the future.” Stewart says that all of the credit goes to producers, but that he also sees this becom-ing a trend into the future, as producers invest in new tech-nology and crop varieties as they become available. He says that this growing season began looking troublesome, and it was producers taking

risks and not just going for the minimal investment that caused a successful growing season. The big crop does highlight some issues which have to be addressed in the province, namely in terms of rail service and shipping. Stewart says that while he is optimistic that the crop will be able to reach port in a timely fashion, it’s clear that there needs to be investment in the nation’s shipping industry in order to handle successful growing years like this. “Before long, crops of this magnitude will be the norm before long, and they need to gear up to handle more prod-

uct. Our producers can do this, while the weather varies and there will be peaks and val-leys, before too long this will become the norm,” Stewart says. He says that there is con-tinual improvement in the shipping industry, especially with expansions of ports and smoother rail transport. Stewart notes that car unloads are up, but is not where it needs to be. Stewart is confident with new technology crops of this magnitude will soon become the norm in the province, and he says this year is a reminder that the shipping industry now needs to catch up.


The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce has com-pleted a busy year, and Aime Zamonsky, President of the Yorkton Chamber, recently spoke about the year that was. 2013 was marked with growth for the chamber, with 47 new members joining over the past year. It was a busy year, with a vari-ety of luncheons and breakfasts, but also the employee recognition event and chamber busi-ness dinner. A big high-light was also the two TransActions confer-ences, including one for youth, held in partner-ship with the Yorkton Tribal Council.

Zamonsky says that in the past year their two main priorities were advocating for airport improvements as well as the Parkland College’s Trades and Technology Centre. Zamonsky says they’re happy to see that fund-ing for the college’s expansion has been announced, as well as funding for airport improvements. The next year will see some new directors as well as a new president, and Zamonsky predicts that it will be another busy year, and that their goals will remain consistent, all directed towards keeping area businesses strong. “The main goal of the chamber is to be a voice for business and repre-

sent the business com-munity. So we’re always looking for issues that might stand in the way of businesses in Yorkton and area and looking for ways to help them,” Zamonsky says. The new board is exciting, Zamonsky says, as a mix of new and experienced voices will be a great mix to keep advocating for local businesses and finding different local issues for the chamber to lend a voice to. Zamonsky emphasizes that the chamber strives to be a voice for busi-nesses of any size, right down to something small and home based with few employees, and they hope to see more businesses consider membership.

Chamber: a year of growth

THE YORKTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE has wrapped up a successful 2013, says Aime Zamonsky, Chamber of Commerce President, and is looking forward to another busy year.

SHR Health Grants awarded The Sunrise Health Region (SHR) recently announced the approval of Health promotion grants for 2013-14. Grants of up to $2,000 per project are offered annually through the SHR. The grants support non-profit agencies and community groups with projects that promote healthy living and well-being, or prevent illness and injury to residents in the health region. All Grant Applications are reviewed by a committee of community mem-bers from within the Sunrise Health Region boundaries before final approval of the grants is given by the Sunrise Health Region Board. Consideration is given to projects that promote community health in the areas of: • Active living • Injury/Falls prevention • Healthy child development • Recreation activities • Cultural events and projects “Our objective is to offer the com-munity support for sustainable proj-ects,” says Louise Belanger,

Community Health Educator with Sunrise Health Region. “By providing support to initiate these projects we are assisting communities and groups to keep the projects going long-term.” Guidelines influencing successful grant application include the involve-ment by more than one group in the project, a demonstrated need for the initiative and that the project would not duplicate an existing program. The maximum eligible amount is $2,000 per grant request. This year 50 requests were received, with 22 projects selected totaling $29,000 in funds. Successful applications will support projects in Calder, Cote First Nation, Gerald, Kamsack, Melville, Preeceville, Round Lake, Runnymede, Sheho, Springside, Stockholm, Sturgis and Yorkton. Research projects, the purchase of non-health related equipment, pro-fessional development, food and accommodation costs, and invest-ments in land or buildings are not eligible for grant funds.

Sask. AgriStability deadline nears The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding local producers December 31, 2013, is the FINAL deadline to sub-mit 2012 AgriStability forms and pay 2013 pro-gram fees. Producers must pay program fees by the end of December to partici-pate in the AgriStability Program for the 2013 pro-gram year. An Enrolment/Fee Notice was issued earlier in the year provid-ing details on the fee and the deadline for payment. April 30, 2013, (or 30 days from the date on the enrol-ment notice, whichever is

later) was the initial dead-line for paying program fees. A 20 per cent pen-alty will be added to the fee if producers missed the initial deadline. All forms for the 2012 program year need to be submitted by December 31. This ensures produc-ers can access AgriStability benefits. The initial dead-line for sending in pro-gram forms was September 30. Forms received after this date and before December 31 will have a $500 per month penalty; however, if no benefit is generated there will be no penalty applied.

SCIC accepts all pro-gram forms from individ-uals (sole proprietors), corporations, co-opera-tives and other entities. Individuals are reminded the T1163 form, which details their income and expense information, must also be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. Producers can also use AgConnect, SCIC’s online tool for reviewing and submitting AgriStability information, to meet the December 31 deadline. Producers can also view their program fee on AgConnect and see pay-ment details.

Despite positive perfor-mance in the broad mar-kets many stocks remain in negative territory. Gold, materials, and mining sectors have been espe-cially hard hit, with declines into double dig-its. The positive news is that there are more gain-ers than losers. If any winners have been sold and generated reportable capital gains, investors can offset them by selling losers. Generally speaking, most retail investors con-duct tax loss selling dur-ing the latter part of November and the first two weeks of December. After taking a hard-nosed look at their portfolios, and deciding which stocks to cut from the lineup, they sell in order to apply the capital losses to their tax returns. Mutual fund managers also discard their losers. Known as ‘window dress-ing’, some managers sell their biggest losers so they are not reported as part of the fund’s holdings in year-end reports. According to Credit Suisse, approximately 50 per cent of U.S. mutual funds have a fiscal year

end between October and December. If a large number of retail investors and fund managers conduct tax loss selling in December, it is reasonable to expect some market volatility. This puts investors, who con-duct tax loss selling early, in a cash position and able to take advantage of potential buying opportu-nities before the later sell-ers can re-enter the mar-kets. They also enjoy the benefit of time to analyze potential purchases, with-out the distraction of hav-ing to focus on tax-loss decisions. According to Canaccord Genuity U.S. Portfolio Strategist Tony Dwyer, the combination of near-term overbought condi-tions with positive inves-tor sentiment means a greater likelihood that

investors may be able to buy equities cheaper over the coming weeks. This is positive news for those doing their tax loss selling now. In order to crystallize a capital loss, investors must abide by superficial loss rules and wait 30 days before repurchasing the investment. Losses in non-registered accounts are applied against cur-rent year capital gains. Excess losses are either carried forward or applied to capital gains accrued in the past three years. There are options for investors who wish to realize losses but still want to maintain expo-sure. They can buy an exchange-traded fund that is linked to the desired sector, or purchase shares of a similar com-pany.

For instance, an inves-tor who wants to sell Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX) but is still bullish on gold could purchase the iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index (TSX: XGD). Alternatively, they could acquire shares of a differ-ent gold producer. Investors who plan on selling an exchange-trad-ed fund (ETF) and then repurchasing in the same asset class should be care-ful. It is not enough just to replace one ETF with another. Investors must be sure they aren’t selling and purchasing ETFs based on the same index. A stock that is down shouldn’t be sold just to trigger a loss. It isn’t crys-tallized as either a winner or a loser until it is sold so, if you believe it will recover, you may want to keep it. There should always be a good reason to part with a stock.

Tax loss selling for 2013

Parents of children with autism and professionals who work with them can learn from leaders and special-ists in the field by attending an upcoming two-day con-ference in Yorkton, one of more than 50 communities across Alberta, BC, SK and NWT expected to link in through Telehealth. The 7th annual conference, hosted by Children’s Autism Services of Edmonton, is a major educational event that engages respected researchers and practitio-ners to present in-depth sessions with practical strate-gies and resources.

This year’s featured presenter is Michelle Garcia Winner, internationally renowned speech language pathologist from California, who coined the phrase Social Thinking®. How we think about others – social thinking – affects how we understand and relate to one another. For most of us that process is intuitive; but, for a child with autism, this is a complex communication skill which must be learned. www.socialthinking.com The conference runs Thursday, January 23 to Friday January 24, 2014 at the Edmonton Marriott at River Cree. For program information, registration, and to find the local Telehealth site: www.childrensautism.ca or 780-495-9235.

THE NEWS REVIEW

Recognizingour volunteers

So much for true holi-day spirit and the real meaning behind Christmas. Seriously, what is wrong with some people? Black Friday thankfully came and went in Saskatchewan without too much incident (so far as I know anyway), but not so in the states. A person has to wonder why they keep promoting such a day when you hear about happen-ings like these. A crazy story was circulating on Facebook about a Chicago area women being behind bars following her shopping experience at Walmart on Black Friday. A married, mother of two, Mary Robbins supposedly went out that day in search of a new X-Box for her son for Christmas. She found one – the LAST one. What was said to happened next is beyond compre-hension. Robbins wrestled her competitors to the ground for the game and then proceeded to stab them with a sharpened Phillips screwdriver. Three people died as a result in this story – all over a silly game. THANKFULLY this story has since been deemed a hoax. I wasn’t aware of that fact when I began writing this column though, so it made me do a little digging. While a tad far fetched, sadly, this incident

isn’t all that far from real-ity. Every year shoppers get trampled, punched and bullied just so the greedi-est of consumers can walk away triumphant. Police in Virginia this year reported at least one gun threat and stabbing over a fight to get a parking space, brawls were seen all over and one shoplifter was shot by police after a

fellow officer was dragged by the thief’s vehicle. And all for what? So someone could snag a good deal. Are toys and bargains really worth all this? I for one, think NOT. If little Johnny does not get his X-Box this Christmas he WILL survive. If you have to go anoth-er week without that laptop you’ve been eying up, YOU will survive. C’mon people, it’s time to grow up. There are peo-ple who will go without a meal this Christmas. There will be no presents, no tree and no roof over some heads. If you’re tempted to go out and punch some-body over the last “Tickle Me Elmo” maybe try think-ing about that. There will always be material goods. There will always be sales and opportunities to rack up your credit cards. There are also always chances to take the high road and to be a better person. Why not try that on for size instead?

The way I see it...

Where does Santa Claus live? The obvious answer is the North Pole, but that does not tell you the country of residence. This is a disputed bit of territory, a piece of land which three countries – Canada, Russia and Denmark – are fighting to claim. Whether it’s due to resource exploration or a battle for the best toys remains unclear, but the result could affect the nation-ality of a certain large bearded man. This country has not been shy about trying to claim Claus for our own. Canada Post, for example, has given him a postal code and a Canadian address, even going so far as requesting kids note Canada on the front of their envelope. The message is clear, the North Pole is part of Canada, and thus we have claim to Santa Claus, all the elves, and any and all tax rev-enue generated from his Christmas operations. The latest efforts to claim the North Pole officially, coming in December, only reinforce that Canada has been aiming to officially take command of the jolly old elf. Perhaps the plan is to get the claim complete by Christmas time, so our children can finally claim the best toys available, or perhaps even going so far as to denying gifts for countries we might consider to be on the naughty list. Canada’s claim does have some problems, the big-gest being that the area is not completely explored.

This might be due to the extreme cold and remoteness of the area, or due to the interference of flying antlered creatures, but until the area is completely explored it will be difficult to accurately say which country it belongs to. As well, some geologists are uncertain that Canada’s claim has merit, suggesting that the pole itself is likely on Denmark’s land mass. Until the region is fully explored, we can’t make any clear claims on who actually possesses the pole. Claus himself was clearly born in Europe, as since he is hundreds of years old his existence pre-dates the founding of Canada itself. Of the three countries involved in the dispute over the North Pole, Denmark

is the one most likely to have granted him citizenship, and it has had a traditional bearded gift-bearer since the early 19th century. That nationality can be tricky, however, since Claus himself comes from a number of different sources which have only become one man relatively recently. Saint Nicholas, for example, is from Turkey and is buried in Italy, two places quite far from the North Pole. Probably the closest to our mod-ern Santa would be Sinterklaas in Holland, but he actually arrives each year on a steam boat from Spain. If we consider these two gift-giving individuals the ancestors of our Father Christmas, his nationality becomes quite varied, and his actual citizenship would be open to debate no matter where his base of opera-tions actually lies. Then again, it’s entirely possible that Claus himself could claim to be the leader of a sovereign nation. At the bare minimum, he’s likely considered to be part of maritime law, as the North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and any structures could be technically considered a form of boat. If pressed, Claus could even float out to international waters, meaning that this entire dispute would be over boring things like natural resources and political grabs for territory, rather than the rather whimsical debate over whose country pro-vides residency for a mythical toy-delivering fat man.

It’s difficult to imagine what Saskatchewan would be like with-out its countless, amazing and ded-icated volunteers. We can’t say thanks enough for the hours and says they put in selflessly helping others and that’s why a recent gov-ernment announcement is good news and a small way to show our appreciation. The province announced it is launching a new award to acknowl-edge volunteers. “The Premier’s Service Club Award” will recog-nize the commitment and activi-ties of service clubs and fraternal organizations. “Saskatchewan’s strength is in its people who have a strong his-tory of giving back to their com-munities,” Premier Brad Wall com-ments. “For decades the members of service clubs and fraternal orga-nizations have helped their com-munities and those in need through the actions of the clubs and orga-nizations they belong to. The Premier’s Service Club Award will celebrate the Saskatchewan tradi-tions of volunteerism and commu-nities helping themselves, their members and their neighbours.” According to the announcement up to four awards will be given annually. They come in the form of a framed certificate which will be signed and presented by the Premier. The Premier’s Service Club Award is limited to service clubs and fraternal organizations cur-rently active in Saskatchewan communities. If you know a special group you would like to nominate, now is your chance! Additional informa-tion iis available at www.ops.gov.sk.ca or by calling 1-877-427-5505. Hats off to you all!

“Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread fi nally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even.” ~Daniel Berrigan


To the Editor: Adapt or leave: the stakes of fi t-ting in are high if you`re a girl in rural Canada. With urbanization rates continuing to rise, the need to create thriving rural commu-nities in Canada has never been greater. Rural girls need reasons to stay – they need to be put on the map. But according to newly released research on rural girls’ and young women’s issues in Canada, being a rural girl often means facing challenges that are off the radar for those living in cities. It can mean having few female role models to inspire your career dreams. It can mean increased so-cial pressures like staying quiet if someone makes a racial slur about your best friend (likely one of very few people of colour in your community), not seeking help for depression because news spreads fast in a rural community, or not telling anyone that you’ve been raped because of what it might do to your reputation. Growing up rural can also have many benefi ts for girls, like tight knit communities, extended fami-lies, the chance to learn hands-on skills, a less stressful lifestyle and opportunities to make deep con-nections with people and the land. These are good reasons to stay. In fact, one in fi ve Canadian wom-en lives in rural areas, although these numbers are a far cry from a century ago, when Canada’s iden-tity was founded and synonymous with rural living. Today, however, living in one of Canada’s geographically iso-lated communities means fewer

services that are harder to access. Think lack of transportation from one location to another, or having access to only one nurse and one social worker for an entire com-munity. Lack of services has an especial-ly huge impact on girls. Accord-ing to Justice Canada, violence is one of the biggest issues for girls and young women in rural set-tings. Because of their isolated or remote locations, girls often lack access to rides, rely on hitchhik-ing as a means of transportation, or stay out all night - all of which puts them at risk. If violence oc-curs, by peers or in the family set-ting, girls rarely have access to a shelter and too often face shaming and community silence. It’s no wonder that health is a concern for rural girls. Accord-ing to Statistics Canada and the Canadian Institute for Health Information, rural and northern girls are more likely to smoke and drink, have higher rates of suicide, and have poorer mental health made worse by the remoteness of their location. These factors could explain why the mortality rate for rural girls is double the rate for those in urban areas. The issues are so intertwined, it’s hard to untangle cause and effect. Bottom line, each circum-stance infl uences the other. We have to pay attention. We need to know more. With such overwhelming chal-lenges, it’s no wonder youth are deciding or feel forced to leave ru-ral areas. At the same time, newly gath-ered research and case studies show that many rural girls are

transforming challenges into cre-ative opportunities. In fact, gender-specifi c pro-grams are supporting the devel-opment of rural girls’ and young women’s empowerment, well-be-ing and leadership. Take Girls Night Out, a vol-unteer-led initiative in Faro, Yu-kon, a remote community of 400 people. Every single girl in town takes part in the weekly program where they meet role models, do cultural activities, and talk about important subjects like sexual health. Girls are building a net-work of support that boosts their self-confi dence, healthy choices and leadership skills. Programs like these are mak-ing a difference – but are they enough? Canada’s rural communities are worth sustaining and young people are essential for the future. Rural culture has a lot of benefi ts for girls growing up, as well as pitfalls. In order to create a better future for girls, we must provide them with specifi c support and resources as well as invest in the well-being of rural communities as a whole. Ultimately, girl-specifi c pro-grams support girls to imagine choices beyond conforming to rigid social norms at home or leaving to go to the city; choices that include playing an active role in building healthy rural communities. How well or not rural girls are thriving is a barometer for the rest of us. It’s time to put rural girls on the social map in Canada.

To the Editor:

The current “Detroit” pension matter could easily happen here. Canada tends to follow what the USA does. What I fi nd surprising is how many people with corporate pensions dismiss out of hand any thought that the compa-nies they formerly worked for and that are now managing their pension funds could default. One should always keep in mind that pension funds managed by companies are often not separate funds, but are kept in general revenues and used for whatever the company wants to use the money for until its needed for paying out pensions. It’s a form of legalized “Ponzi scheme.” Borrow from the future to pay current obligations. Here’s how it works. As part of a work contract between employees and a com-pany, the company collects pension con-tributions from employees, matches those contributions, and records the overall contributions in its books. The money, however, is often kept in the company’s general revenues or another account. However, the money doesn’t just sit in the account(s). If it (or parts of it) is not needed to pay current pensions, the com-pany can use (borrow) it certain expens-es, i.e. for its day to day operations, for capital investments (equipment, build-ings land, etc.), or for collateral to bor-row against. Simply put, the company can either borrow the pension money or use it as security to borrow money. All the company has to do is pay back the money when it’s needed for current pen-sion obligations. It has to stay at least one step ahead of the wolf. However, in many situations there’s virtually no independent oversight about companies’ current and future obliga-tions and capacity to fund pension obli-gations. If the company gets into trouble and can’t pay back what it has taken from pension obligations, guess what? A “Detroit” scenario. Then, a court or another administra-tive or government body in a community where many have smaller or no pensions, or are otherwise worse off than those on pensions, will have strong support from the public to cancel the company’s or gov-ernment’s pension obligations. Although a more remote possibility, this could also happen to government pensions. One wonders about the City of Regina that has a multi-tens of millions pension fund shortfall? Can you see Regina tax payers accepting a huge tax increase if the City of Regina has to come up with tens of millions to fund its pension obli-gations over a short period of time? How about during an economic downturn, should Regina or Saskatchewan have such? This is just another example of mem-bers of the public living in a “ought-to-be” world instead of a world based on reality. It’s like a pedestrian walking across a busy street in a cross walk. The vehicles are supposed to stop, ought to stop and should stop for the pedestrian. But realistically, the pedestrian should proceed carefully on the basis that vehi-cles don’t always stop, and if they get hit by a 3,000 pound vehicle, they will be re-alistically either badly injured or killed. “Ought to” will have nothing to do with that.

To the Editor:

The Green Party of Saskatch-ewan (GPS) is extremely disap-pointed that Potash Corp has laid off 440 employees or 18 per cent of its provincial workforce just before Christmas.

This is a terrible time. Many fam-ilies made decisions to buy homes based on the idea that they would have a family member working in the province’s Potash industry. Pot-ashCorp should have planned this better. However, it is very good that Pre-

mier Wall is offering skills training to the workers, and hopefully better days lie ahead for the laid off work-ers and their families.

Terrible timing but hopefully better ahead

To the Editor:

Last week was another ethical scorcher for Con-servatives as more dam-aging information came to light about the on-go-ing police investigation that’s reaching into the highest echelons of the Harper government. Sworn RCMP docu-ments make explicit allegations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust against Stephen Harper’s former Chief of Staff, Ni-gel Wright, and former television high-roller, Mike Duffy, who was hand-picked by Mr. Harp-er to represent Prince Ed-ward Island in the Senate even though he hadn’t lived in that province for decades. It’s exactly one year ago this week that Duffy and Wright began to worry about news stories that questioned the Senator’s residency and his associ-ated expense claims. It didn’t take long for the problem to spiral out of control. By February, Senate inquiries and a formal forensic audit were underway. The au-dit was being conducted by the respected Deloitte accounting fi rm.

Mr. Harper claims that on February 13 he gave Duffy a direct order to pay back to the Sen-ate any expenses that he should not have collected. Duffy balked, saying that would be an admission of guilt on his part, and in any event, he didn’t have the money. And this is where a strange cult-like mentality seems to take over within Mr. Harper’s offi ce (PMO). Instead of just cutting Duffy loose to go mort-gage his Ottawa home, or have his salary garnish-eed, or whatever, to pay his debts like anyone else, Mr. Harper’s staff went to extraordinary lengths to fi nd $90,000 to “keep Duffy whole” and another $13,560 to pay his legal costs. Police documents allege they also tried to alter the course of De-loitte’s audit and white-wash the Senate’s offi cial report on Duffy. And there was an elaborate PMO communications plan to mislead the public about what was going on. RCMP materials reveal an elaborate cover-up, apparently led by Wright, but engaging a dozen or more senior PMO staff-ers, several more Sena-

tors and top Conservative Party brass. They seemed prepared to break every rule in the book to make Mr. Harper’s “Duffy prob-lem” go away. In the pro-cess, they dug a huge eth-ical hole for themselves. And why? Just to keep Stephen Harper’s legend-ary temper from explod-ing? Like lemmings, they got themselves deeper and deeper into trouble. This past week, the hot item was PMO manipu-lation of Senator Irving Gerstein (the Conserva-tive Party’s chief bag-man) to get him to work his back-channel contacts at the accounting fi rm to get a less negative result for Duffy. The PMO should nev-er have asked Gerstein to try to intervene in an audit. Gerstein should never have agreed to make the attempt. And his contact at Deloitte (a senior partner) should have told Gerstein to get stuffed, instead of try-ing to oblige. Why such senior business people would expose themselves to such legal and profes-sional risk is inexplicable. They truly drank the kool-aid for Stephen Harper. And now, Mr. Harper is

blocking Parliament from calling Senator Gerstein and his back-channel De-loitte contact to testify under oath about what they did and why. More stonewalling. The cover-up continues. From the very begin-ning, Mr. Harper says he was totally unaware of all the corrupt schem-ing that was going on around him – involving every member of his most inner sanctum for more than three months – until the news media blew the whole plot wide open in May. That doesn’t seem very plausible. Hear no evil, see no evil for all that time? But assume for the moment it’s true. Which is worse – a Prime Min-ister who knew what was going on and is thus to-tally complicit in all the wrong-doing, or a Prime Minister who is so neg-ligent or incompetent or wilfully blind that he al-lows his offi ce to be run by a gang with no moral compass and no respect for the rule of law? Either way, it’s all pret-ty awful.

YRHS Students of the Month

S T U D E N T S RECOGNIZED – Selected as Yorkton Regional High School Students of the Month for October are Jonathon Muir and Brooke Werner. Jon is a Grade 11 stu-dent who conducts him-self with strength of char-acter and dedication. Jon is a strong academic student with a variety of interests and he also participates in school activities such as foot-ball, track and field, and badminton. Jonathon’s positive traits are noted by his teachers, his peers, and his coaches. Brooke is a Grade 12 student who demon-strates positive qualities as she goes about the business of being a YRHS family member.

Brooke takes initiative, manages time effectively, and meets her responsi-bilities as a student with a mature and positive outlook. Her many years of playing hockey taught her the value of team work and of good health practices. She has admi-rable goals for her future that showcase her social conscience and ability to get along with others. C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s Jonathon and Brooke!

The Government of Canada recently announced the latest Call for Proposals of the Building in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP) – a procurement program whose primary goal is to promote inno-vation and help small- and medium-sized busi-nesses connect with federal government departments and agen-cies that have a need for innovative products and services. Our government’s top priority is creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. Helping Canadian businesses expand and succeed directly benefits Canadian workers and their families. By sell-ing to the federal gov-ernment, businesses receive support to get innovations out of the lab and into the mar-ketplace. That kick-start means that they can potentially gener-

ate future sales out of the government both in Canada and around the world. Originally created as a pilot project in 2010, the Build in Canada Innovation Program has now been made per-manent to bolster inno-vation in Canada’s busi-ness sector and help companies bridge the pre-commercialization gap for their innovative products and services. The program also now includes a component of military procurement. It is in Canada’s best interest to have a strong defence industry right

here at home that can help meet the needs of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is important that we be able, if nec-essary, to compete with the best in the world. By supporting inno-vation designed in Canada, we are helping bring Canadian busi-nesses one step closer to moving their innova-tions into domestic and international markets. To build on the early success of this pilot pro-gram, Economic Action Plan 2012 allocated additional funding for three years, starting in 2013. As of 2016, $40

million will be perma-nently dedicated to the BCIP annually. In February 2013, the Jenkins report recom-mended making the program permanent, in order to more effective-ly provide incentives for solving operational problems identified by federal departments. The federal govern-ment supports innova-tion and entrepreneur-ship in Canada, start-ing with the ideas that begin in small business-es in communities just like those within the constituency of Yorkton-Melville. The fourth Call for Proposals is currently available on www.buy-andsell.gc.ca/tenders. If you are a supplier and your company fits the program’s parameters, I encourage you to craft a proposal and submit it. You have until January 7, 2014, to do so.

The holiday season is a time for family, friends and togetherness. It is a time to appreciate all of our loved ones who have helped us throughout the year. Many people travel throughout the province and across Canada to celebrate with those they hold close to them. With our unpleasant win-ter road conditions, it is impor-tant to take precautions to ensure that your loved ones are safe. Some ways to remain safe this holiday season: 1. Plan a time that you will be arriving at your destination and tell your family so that they know when to expect you. 2. Be prepared for anything that may happen while on the

road. Always carry blankets and wear warm clothes. You may even wish to pack a small meal in case help is delayed in getting to where you are. 3. Always carry a first aid kit in your vehicle. Accidents can hap-pen but, if you are prepared, you can reduce the risk of serious injuries. 4. Be aware of the signs of Hypothermia. There are three stages: mild, moderate and severe. Identifying Hypothermia early and applying appropriate first aid will prevent it from get-ting worse. As hypothermia wors-ens: • the pulse will drop • breathing will become slow • mild shivering will change to intense shivering • speech will become slurred

and individual will look clumsy • individual will be confused or tired and eventually become unconscious. 5. Know proper first aid for Hypothermia and many other emergencies by becoming certi-fied in First Aid. Knowing what to do in an emer-gency can make all the difference. St. John Ambulance is a volun-teer based non-profit charity ded-icated to improving the health and safety of Canadians. For over 125 years, Canadians have trust-ed St. John Ambulance for quality first aid training and products. St. John First Aid courses help support community projects throughout Saskatchewan.

Some people just have to be drawn, and a local artist is doing just that. Lynn Strendin’s show Pencil Paparazzi is cur-rently at the community pARTners gallery at the Yorkton Public Library, showcasing intricate and detailed pencil drawings of people Strendin has seen in the community and in her travels. The images start when Strendin goes to an event and takes photos of the crowd and people she sees. She says that she wants to draw people, but that finds working from candid photos much more rewarding than some-thing more posed, and that she has always found crowds fascinating at dif-ferent events. She says that there are usually three reasons to pick someone out of the crowd. One, they might tell a story through what they are doing. She notes that, for instance, with a drawing taken from a pow wow shows a mix of old and new, tradition mixing with modern references. Two, she says people often accidentally reference art history, their candid poses being in classic or dra-matic poses while enjoy-ing an event. The final reason is just that Strendin says some peo-ple are just compelling, and she finds she needs to draw them. The majority of the sub-jects are from events in the Yorkton area, with some from North

Battleford and Victoria, B.C. Strendin says that it represents people at ease, enjoying events and relax-ing, capturing a certain flavor of the community. She add, that it takes a day to do the actual draw-ing, but that the thought process behind it takes much longer, as she plans what she is going to do

and how she is going to execute the actual work. She says her priority is to capture the moment and the story. She admits that she cannot always contact the people in the work, but she says that her goal is to show the subjects of her work in the best light she can, and she hopes

that if someone sees them-selves on the wall they are happy with what she has done. “If I do somebody it’s because I like them, and I

think they’re interesting, and I hope other people like them too... I always like the person, and I always feel good doing it.”

There will be an artist reception for Pencil Paparazzi on January 5. To learn more about Strendin visit lestren.blogspot.ca.

Pencil Paparazzi – new at pARTners gallery

LYNN STRENDIN presents Pencil Paparazzi, currently showing at the community pARTners gallery in the Yorkton Public Library. The show illustrates candid moments with people at different events.

FIRE – Members of the Yorkton Fire Department were kept busy last week when an un-occupied (and under construction) building along Seventh Avenue burst into fl ames. Fire fi ghters managed to contain the blaze and fortunately nobody was hurt as a result.

For many people, the holidays are a time of joy, hope and peace. We enjoy the carols and Christmas services. It is a time when family and friends gather and we enjoy many moments of reminiscing and telling stories of by-gone Christmas celebrations and activities. There usually is a bountiful supply of food and spir-its, along with gift exchanges. These are the happy moments of Christmas. Not all people are joy-ful this time of the year. Many times we do not realize that this can be a very difficult time for some families. Some

people can’t even listen to Christmas carols without tears flowing down their face. Not all families are celebrating at this time of the year. What about the people who have just gotten the news that their job has come to an end? Unemployment has become a reality in our community and people lose their jobs even around the holidays. The potash mine has just given job notice to hun-dreds of workers within our province. How are these families feeling this Christmas? What about the men and women in the armed forces who are deployed

during the holidays? There will many emo-tions shared both from the men and women deployed, as well as those who are left behind. It will be a very difficult and sad time for children involved. For them the holidays are far from joyous. What is a home like when separation and

divorce has just hap-pened? Spouses and chil-dren are far from joyous. The holidays may need to be shared with both parents. Who will have the children over the holidays this year? This is difficult for parents, but it has a much great-er impact on the chil-dren. Many children affected are young and need to deal with many strong emotions. If we repress our emo-tions, they often boil over when we least expect it. We need to deal with our emotions and find positive ways to express our feelings. Talking with someone we trust and can be accepting of us no mat-ter how we feel may be

helpful. My mother died days before Christmas. I was unable to celebrate, cook, clean, bake, shop or do anything that year. My husband found a ceramic tree that was all deco-rated which stood about two feet high, and that was an effort for me to get out of the box and place on the table that first Christmas. It took 2-3 years until I even had the energy to put up a Christmas tree or do any festive activities. I have been told “There is no such a thing as a Blue Christmas.” The birth of the Christ child is always joyous and wonderful. I agree that is a wonderful message- but I will also acknowl-edge the feelings of those who say, “My loss really hurts this year and it does not feel joyful. It feels like a Blue Christmas to me.” In many communities we will be able to attend a Blue Christmas ser-vice. It is a “Service of Remembering, Hope and Healing.” We are able to

remember within a safe environment all our losses. We need to make the time and space to acknowledge our feel-ings of sadness. Many funeral homes or church-es host Blue Christmas services designed to give comfort and healing and new hope to people in our community who have experienced a loss. “Remember: grief is both necessary and a privilege. It comes as a result of giving and receiving love.” – Dr. Alan Wolfelt

Margaret Anne Yost nursed for 35 years. Returning back to school I completed classes from the Red River College in the areas of Gerontology, Bereavement, Death and Dying. For twelve years I worked in bereavement support at a Funeral Home. I was employed as Parish Worker at a Lutheran Church. At present I am enjoying my role as homemaker, wife, mother and grandmoth-er.

Submitted by the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship (AWSA)

If you’re a reader that enjoys fishing, you know that Good Spirit Lake is one of the best sport fishing destinations in the entire Assiniboine River Watershed. As the largest lake in the watershed, Good Spirit offers anglers the oppor-tunity to catch game fish such as walleye, pike, perch, and even burbot. And if you’re really in-the-know, then you’re aware that one of the best places to catch these fish is at the con-trol outlet structure, in the south-east corner of the lake. Resident fish in the Whitesand River travel up the outlet channel to spawn in the spring, with hundreds of adult fish and thou-sands of fry congregat-ing to the deep scour hole created by the ero-sion downstream of the outlet gates. It has made for great fishing over the past few years, similar to “catching fish in a barrel.” However, the down-side of this angling hotspot is that as sum-mer progresses, the out-let gates are often closed to maintain lake water levels, which in turn dewaters the channel. As a result, rather than

migrating back to the Whitesand River, the fish congregate and become trapped in the washout, and a huge fish kill takes place annually if they are not removed. The Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association (AWSA), along with the SK Wildlife Federation (SWF) and the Water Security Agency (WSA) have seine netted out the fish and released them back into the lake since 2009, but it was very apparent that a permanent fix to the problem was needed. The AWSA submitted a proposal to Environment Canada’s EcoACTION funding program to mitigate the problem in 2010, and were approved. However, the extreme flooding the lake experi-enced that year meant that the control gates had to be left open all winter in order to draw down the lake, making construction work impossible. The AWSA applied to EcoACTION once again in 2012 and were once again suc-cessful in their proposal to perform permanent mitigation of the scour hole in the fall of 2013.

The AWSA, along with it partners, the SWF, WSA and the Good Spirit Lake Watershed Association Board undertook the project this past September. First the water in the hole had to be pumped out in order to facilitate seine net-ting and removal of all the fish prior to con-struction beginning. The hole proved to be much deeper than when originally measured back in 2009 (it turned out to be approximately 20ft deep). Over one thousand adult game-fish (walleye, pike, sucker, and burbot), tens of thousands of game fish fingerlings and baitfish were net-ted and transported into Good Spirit Lake. Once the fish were removed and the hole pumped out, construction was able to begin. Approximately 2,200 cubic yards of clay were brought in to fill the huge hole that had eroded over the years. Following the infill-ing of the hole and con-touring of the banks, the entire area was cov-ered with geotextile erosion-control fabric.

FROM MORNING UNTIL EVENING...

Column

Christmas season not always so joyous

Fish study nets resultsThe nylon fabric, which comes in rolls 15ft x 300ft, is resistant to water ero-sion and will ensure future integrity of the construction (the only area of the outlet channel that hadn’t eroded over time was where geotextile fabric was originally placed below the culverts). Rock/boulders were then placed on top of the geo-textile, followed by pit-run gravel to infill the spaces between the rocks. The project was a great success, with the area undergoing quite an extensive transformation. It may no longer be the “honey hole” fishing spot it once was, now that the area has been trans-formed back into the channel it was originally intended to be, but the prevention of thousands of fish from dying annu-ally should be pretty good justification for anglers having to find a new spot to dip their lures.

SEPT. 2013 – Fingerling burbot by the thousands were netted out of the scour hole and transported back into Good Spirit Lake.

Waterfront Development at Anderson Lake across from the town of Saltcoats, just 20 minutes to Yorkton and 30 minutes to The Potash capital of the world. It makes sense to live year round at the lake. Enjoy morning sunrises and better yet the evening sunset across the sparkling water. These are all oversized lots with no building time lines, serviced with power, gas, phone and culverts from main road to lot. Owners are responsi-ble for drilling well and installing septic tanks. There are a number of walkout style lots or build a big rancher style home. Reserve space between lot and lake which will provide space for walking trails along the water creating a lake front community that all owners will truly enjoy.

The nylon fabric, which comes in rolls 15ft x 300ft, is resistant to water erosion and will ensure future integrity of the construction (the only area of the outlet channel that hadn’t eroded over time was where geotextile fabric was originally placed below the culverts). Rock/boulders were then placed on top of the geotex-tile, followed by pit-run gravel to infill the spaces between the rocks. The project was a great success, with the area undergoing quite an extensive transformation. It may no longer be the “honey hole” fishing spot it once was, now that the area has been transformed back into the channel it was origi-nally intended to be, but the prevention of thou-sands of fish from dying annually should be pretty good justification for anglers having to find a new spot to dip their lures.

CHASE MCKERSIE battles the Generals Braydon Delorme during Sunday’s 2-2 tie at the Farrell Agencies Arena. Despite not winning for seven games, the Harvest sit in the playoffs with the eighth seed seven points ahead of the closest team.

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

Despite battling each and every night to turn things around as the 2013/14 Sas-katchewan Midget AAA Hockey League season nears the Christmas break, the Yorkton Harvest just can’t seem to turn things around during what can now be classifi ed as a lengthy win-less streak after a strong start saw the team heading into November above the .500 mark. Without a win in four games the Harvest went into a week where they would play the league best Notre Dame Argos on the road before facing another solid playoff team in the Moose Jaw Generals in two home games over the week-end, looking to turn things around the Harvest con-tinued their hard luck and near misses to the dismay of head coach Dan Cross. Playing the Argos mid-week the Harvest would stick in the game with the Notre Dame academy team

for much of the opening half of the game, going into the fi rst intermission tied at 1-1 after a goal from their captain Corwin Stevely lev-elled things up. That would change in the second as two goals from Jordan Berger would put the Argos up 3-1 and turned all of the momen-tum in the hands of the hosts. Berger would score short-handed in the opening half of the period by beating Carter Phair to make the score 2-1 before registering what was the turning point in the fi nal minute of the period with a goal that came with just 53 seconds left in the second. In the third penalties would once again doom the Harvest as the Argos scored two pow-erplay goals, both coming off on a four minute penalty to Tanner Jeannot for head con-tact. Their captain was also ejected from the game early in the third period after getting into a fi ght with the Argos’ Evan Werle that ejected both players due to the SMAAAHL automatic game misconduct rule. The penalties weren’t the

only problem as the Harvest were outshot 52-18 in the loss, a number that will kill you nearly every time. Things were better for the Harvest on the weekend as the team regrouped from a lopsided loss to face the Moose Jaw Generals, but again the lack of offense continued even if the Harvest did tighten up on giving up chances of their own. Saturday night saw the Harvest lose the fi rst game of the Saturday/Sunday se-ries which are the norm in the Midget AAA league. The Generals would take the lead with a fast start and never look back from a two goal lead started by goals from Trey Tendler and Jared Dmytriw that proved to be the differ-ence. Yorkton would get back into the game with a special teams goal on the powerplay before the second intermission as Korwin Shewchuk scored his fourth of the season to put the Harvest within a goal. Despite not being able to beat Generals Colby Entz in the third period to tie things up in what went

down as a 2-1 loss, Cross took the moral victory that came with a powerplay goal, an im-portant one from a team that has been struggling mightily to score. “We have been working on special teams situations due to our inability to score goals and we have been preach-ing making the most of our chances so it was nice to see a powerplay goal even though it didn’t translate into getting things fully going for us,” says Cross. The tight 2-1 affair would set the tone for Sunday’s mati-nee to close out the two game set, with Carter Phair back in net after Carson Bogdan’s 22 save performance the follow-ing night the good goaltending and low scoring trend contin-ued, even if Phair had to leave the game after taking a puck to the chin under the mask, forcing Bogdan into spot duty for one save. This time it would be the Harvest striking fi rst, going ahead on a goal from Stevely to make it 1-0 heading into the second period.

Harvest continue struggles in winless streak



Ten members of the YSSC, Yorkton Storm Swim Club, recently competed in their second meet of the season. The club attended the “Fall Freeze Out” in Moose Jaw. Overall the team did very well returning home with sixteen top three performanc-es. Jacob Baker (13) and Jennifer Haczkewicz (14) led the way for the team. Baker brought home 2 first place finishes (50m Breaststroke, 100m Breaststroke) a second in the 100m Freestyle along with a third place finish in the 50m Backstroke. Haczkewicz captured three first place finishes (100m Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, and 100m Freestyle), and added two second place finishes in the 50m Butterfly, and 50m Freestyle events. What impressed Head Coach Ashley Benko the most was that Haczkewicz swam “AA Times” in all five of her races. Baker also swam his 50m Breaststroke at the “AA Standard.” This will allow the two swimmers to compete at the Man-Sask Meet this March in Winnipeg. Baker was really pleased with his effort in Moose Jaw, “I am super-excited to be going to Man-Sask for the first time.” “It shows that all of the time I’ve been spending in the

pool has paid off” he went to say, “Next up for me is to try and get a second AA time when we travel to Saskatoon this month for our next meet.” When asked about her efforts Haczkewicz said, “I’m really happy with my swims in Moose Jaw, and I am very happy for Jacob to have qualified for Man-Sask as well.” Baker became the first male swim-mer to qualify for Man-Sask since Benko took over as Head Coach of the team. Benko added, “both swim-mers deserve to be attending, they really swam well.” “Jen has been swimming at this level for quite a few years now, and it great to have Jacob join her, Winnipeg will be a great experience for both of them,” she said. Five other YSSC swimmers turned in top three performances as well. Kelsey Haczkewicz finished second in the 100m Breaststroke and added a third place finish in the 50m Breaststroke. Adam Kindjerski had a second place finish in the 50m Breaststroke coupled with a third place effort in the 100m Breaststroke. Connor Watrych turned in a second place effort in the 200m Freestyle. Tia Slowski swam her way to third place in the 100m Breaststroke and Auston Roberts rounded out the YSSC medal swims with a third place swim in the 50m Breaststroke.

Shea Guest earned the meet’s “Storm Chaser Award.” This award is given out to the YSSC swimmer that shows the most improvement over the course of all of their swims at a meet. Shea improved an aver-

age of 8.84 seconds in each of her five swims at the Moose Jaw meet to win the award. Congratulations to all local swim-mers on a successful meet and best of luck for the rest of the season.

Yorkton Swim Club does well in second meet of 13/14


The YRHS Raiders expect-ed to be tested when they accepted their annual invita-tion to the Centennial Chargers Charity Classi, a tournament the Raiders fin-ished in seventh last year despite finishing as the third best team in 4A basketball at the end of the 2012/13 season. Now with many of the faces from back to back bronze medallists in 4A Boys Basketball gone and a tough Friday afternoon draw with the host Chargers of Saskatoon’s 5A Metro league that came with the loud stu-dent body and pep band dur-ing the mid-afternoon game with the hosts, the young Raiders got tests this week-end that coach Jason Payne left happy they experienced despite a sixth place finish

with a 1-2 record in games against Centennial, North Battleford and Moose Jaw. “This is a tournament where we historically lose a game or two and that is how things go early on in the sea-son and I schedule this tour-nament to see where we stack up while finding out what we need to improve on,” says Raiders head Coach Jason Payne. “I think we did a lot of positive things on the floor, but we also have to work on some things, partic-ularly scoring to get better which I think we will be able to do so I am positive after this weekend.” One thing the Raiders did really well was keep their opponents from scoring st a high clip, holding teams to under 30% shooting, but at the same time their scoring wasn’t there in losses to two top tier programs in the

province in Centennial and Moose Jaw Central. The Raiders found them-selves in the B side on the heels of their loss to Centennial, a game that had the aforementioned hostile atmosphere of an away game and the noise that distracts shooting along with it as the Raiders were overmatched by the 5A hosts in a 60-31 loss to the Chargers where the Raiders held the favou-rites to a manageable score but could not find the bas-kets needed to keep the game close in just scoring 31 points. “We have a lot of guys making the jump from the Junior level to playing Varsity basketball and one of the hardest things to do at the next level of any sport is score and we are seeing that difference from playing 14/15 year-olds show up in our

field goal percentages early on,” mentions Payne. The Raiders would bounce back on Saturday morning to win 57-43 over North Battleford, a team that once had the Raiders number but has saw the tables turn in the rivalry after the Vikings dominated the 4A scene in the late/early 00’s. “North Battleford might not be the top pick to win a provincial title in March, but I respect what their coach has done with them and the way our players responded in a Saturday morning game that had a lot less emotion with a handful of parents in the crowd compared to an entire student body,” says Payne. The Raiders weekend would end in the B Side final where Yorkton could not beat the defending silver medallists at Hoopla, losing to Moose Jaw Central 50-37

in a game where Payne said the Raiders fought hard but just couldn’t outmuscle an older Cyclones team. “Central has a lot of size and while we have good size as well a lot of our players are young and it is just a dif-ferent compete level going from one level to the next which is something we have to figure out,” says Payne. The Raiders will play at Sacred Heart’s round robin tournament, a weekend where Payne mentions the Raiders will work on their offense and getting players through the rotation. “We have held teams to 30 per cent shooting through six games and our defense isn’t going to get worse so the next step is finding scor-ers which we will be doing by rotating guys through and see which is our best combi-nation of players to do so.”

STORM CHASING MEDALS The Yorkton Storm Swim Club once again racked up themedal count at another meet as the Storm went to their second meet of the season at the “Fall Freeze Out” in Moose Jaw, taking home an impressive 16 top three perfor-mances.

YRHS gets taste of province’s best at Centennial tourney


The Yorkton Terriers continued being stellar at the Farrell Agencies Arena throughout the fist half of the 2013/14 SJHL season, beating down the Nipawin Hawks in their visit to the FAA on Friday. Kale Thomson got his second straight shutout at home as Yorkton capped off their 3-0 win over the Mustangs the weekend before with an identical 3-0 over the Nipawin Hawks as Thomson made all 29 of

his saves to secure the win for the Terriers in what was a wild game between the hometown team and the Hawks on a frigid Friday night. Tayler Thompson would prove to be the hero in the win, scoring two shorthanded goals to earn his sev-enth and eighth goals of the season in what would prove to be the game winners. Josh Ellis would add an empty net goal to finish the game 3-0. Despite the home win, the Terriers recent hot streak would be

stalled once again by a trip on the road to a visiting barn as for a sec-ond straight week a Viterra Division opponent took a home win from the Terriers as the Estevan Bruins beat Yorkton 4-3. Yorkton would outshoot Estevan 35-24 and get a goal from AP call up Corwin Stevely in the first peri-od, but it wouldn’t be enough to take the win as Bruins goaltender Matt Gibney played outstanding in a 32 save performance to steal the two points away from the Terriers in Tuesday night action. Estevan

had four different goalscorers in the win. Despite the loss the Terriers are still sitting atop the SJHL stand-ings with just three games left until the Christmas break rings in for the defending champions and the rest of the SJHL’s teams before getting back on the ice December 30. Yorkton’s next action will be Friday when they will look to return the favour against Estevan as they host the Bruins at the FAA. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer On Saturday December 7, 2013 the Yorkton Legion Track Club travelled to Regina for their first track meet of the season as the indoor track and field schedule kicked off with the beginning of December. Seventeen members of the YLTC’s talented track program made the trip with several athletes tak-ing podium finishes to start off their 2013/14 indoor track seasons off on high notes. Gold medallists included Mirandy Elmy who took first in Youth High Jump and in Triple Jump to take double gold along with Cole Burkholder who cleaned up in the Midget Boys distance races by taking the gold in the 800 meter and 1200 meter races. Ethan Field took home the YLTC’s fifth gold medal with a first place finish in the Midget Boys 60 meter sprints while Karlee Duczek took the Midget Triple Jump and Dana Bocking took the Youth Long Jump golds to give the YLTC a weekend finish of seven golds. Silver medallists included Karlee Duczek (Midget High Jump), Miranda Elmy (Youth Long Jump), Jaden Porte (Senior Men 800 meters), and Mat Martsinkiw (Youth Boys 300 meters). Porte’s silver medal came racing two age groups up as the YRHS and YLTC running standout took a second place finish while running against the men in what was an impressive perfor-mance from Porte. Rounding out the podium finishes were bronze medallists; Kelsey Haczkewicz (Midget Girls 1200), Dana Bocking (Youth Girls 60 meters, Youth Shot Put), Anthony Judkins (Youth Boys 800 meters), Brendon Weber (Youth Boys 60 meters), Mat Martsinkiw (Youth Boys 60 meters), Haylen Langelier (Youth Boys 1500 meters) and Jaret Porte (Midget Boys 1200 meters). Results for the rest of the meet are as follows:Miranda Elmy – First Place in Youth Girls High Jump with a jump of 1.35 metersSecond Place in Youth Girls Long Jump with a jump of 3.98 metersFirst place in Youth Girls Triple Jump with a jump of 9.13 metersKarlee Duczek – Second Place in Midget Girls High Jump with a jump of 1.35 metersFourth Place in Midget Girls 60 meters with a time of 9.10First place in Midget Girls Triple Jump with a jump of 8.45 metersAngel Asapace – Eighth Place in Bantam Girls 800 meters with a time of 2:57.38Fifth in Bantam Girls 1200 meters with a time of 5:03.96Alexa Ottenbreit – Ninth Place in Bantam Girls 800 meters with a time of 3:12.61Kelsey Haczkewicz – Fourth Place in Midget Girls 800 meters with a time of 2:40.67Third in Midget Girls 1200 meters with a time of 4:21.98Brittany Varga – Seventh in Midget Girls 800 meters with a time of 2:44.55Sixth in Midget Girls 1200 meters with a time of 4:28.09Abby, Gulka – Ninth in Midget Girls 800 meters with a time of 2:49.41Seventh in Midget Girls 1200 meters with a time of 4:34.12Dana, Bocking – Third in Youth Girls 60 meters with a time of 8.96Third in Youth Girls Shot Put with a throw of 9.14 metersFirst in Youth Girls Long Jump with a jump of 4.32 metersCole Burkholder – First in Midget Boys 800 meters with a time of 2:05.27First in Midget Boys 1200 meters with a time of 3:33.22Jaden Porte – Second in Senior Men 800 meters with a time of 2:03.33Anthony, Judkins - Third in Youth Boys 800 meters with a time of 2:16.48First in Youth Boys 300 meters with a time of 43.09Ethan Field – First in Midget Boys 60 meters with a time of 7.84Bode Fisher – Fourth in Midget Boys 60 meters with a time of 9.35Brendon Weber – Third in Youth Boys 60 meters with a time of 7:43Fourth in Senior Men 200 meters with a time of 23.80Mat Martsinkiw – Third in Youth Boys 60 meters with a time of 8.22Second in 300 Youth Boys 300 meters with a time of 43.22Jordan Koroll – Fifth in Senior Men 60 meters with a time of 7.96Haylen Langelier – Third in Youth Boys 1500 meters with a time of 4:48.86Jaret Porte – Third in Midget Boys 1200 meters with a time of 3:40.01

Cont. from Page 19

In the second period the penalty bug would con-tinue to bite the Harvest as the team would give up five penalties in the second period, allowing the Generals to score twice on the man advantage to make it 2-1 after 40 minutes and making a wash of the strong start for the Harvest thanks to a lack of discipline and a quick whistle from the officials calling the game. With a sense of urgency and a deep want to put their winless streak behind them, the Harvest quickly found their tying goal early in the period once again on the powerplay as Tanner Jeannot found the back of the net to make it 2-2. A tense third period followed, with the Harvest

having to kill off a penalty late in the period thanks to a ticky tack penalty on Jaden Kreklewich after being pushed into the Generals crease before getting nabbed on goaltender interference prevent-ing them from finding a winning goal before over-time. In the four on four session, the Harvest contin-ued to push, making several attempts on goal while outshooting the Generals 6-0, but once again penalties would cost the Harvest a chance to end their win as the two Generals powerplay goals were just enough to get them a 2-2 tie and three out of a potential four points on the weekend. Coach Cross wasn’t happy with tying, but noted that his team worked hard to get a win at home especially on the defensive end.

“I will probably never say I am happy with any-thing other than two points after a game, but to allow just four goals only to score three the whole weekend kind of tells the tale of the way things have been going, we just seem to be squeezing the sticks to tight or something because we can’t seem to find that one break to get back on track,” says Cross. The Harvest will get three chances to end that winless streak before Christmas, two of those games will be one the road before hosting Tisdale December 18 at the FAA. For now the Harvest will have to settle for the solace that despite their win-less streak they are still seven points clear of miss-ing the playoffs. With several ties in the streak, it isn’t time to panic yet.

Harvest continues winless streak despite close call

After losing in the MCS Invitational final to their rival Yorkton Regional, the Sacred Heart Saints regrouped and went to Caronport for more early season 4A Boys Basketball action, but once again found struggles in a weekend where they went 1-2, failing to get up for their first game of the weekend before recouping and finding a win on Saturday before a loss in the B Side final.

The Saints lost their opening game of the weekend on Friday against Birch Hills in a game where head coach Garret Karcha pointed out that travel may have been a factor in the Saints first

extended road trip of the season, only hav-ing to travel to Melville the weekend before prior to the Caronport trip. Tired legs potential-ly being a factor in what was an effort that was hampered by the Birch Hills zone offense which gave the Saints turnover and shooting problems as they were forced to the outside. “A lot of teams in this tournament were going zone on us, which presents difficulties because we are a team that wants to use our size and get into the post, which then led to a lot of turnovers from trying to find our post players through a sea of hands clogging up the inside,” mentions Karcha.

Still the Saints ended up getting 16 points out of center David Ojo in the game, one that ended up being just an eight point loss as the Saints held Birch Hills to just 54 points, but their offensive strug-gles held them to a

54-46 loss that sent them to the B side. In the B side semifi-nal the Saints bounced back with 21 points from Ojo, using their full court press to beat hosts Caronport 54-45, but up against Indian Head in the B side

final, fatigue played a factor as the Saints saw a game get away from them in a 78-54 loss despite being within four points at halftime. “We had problems in the final game the weekend before with

tired legs so in a B side final we tried to roll out or bench and with fatigue being a factor the game got away from us and snow-balled from there in a game that I thought was close for 20 min-utes,” says Karcha.

Friday afternoon one of the greatest humans to have ever graced the Earth passed away when Nelson Mandela died. After years of fi ghting health from old age it be-came clear in 2013 that we were eventually going to lose a person who has became so synonymous with the ideals that we wish the world possessed. Mandela’s fi ght to end the apartheid regime in South Africa and the years he spent in South African prison to see its end is one of the most inspiring life stories you can get and because of that there is nothing I can do with my column this week but to tribute a man who everyone should take time this week to remember as they go about their lives. Nelson Mandela showed that the colour of your skin is not important, but at the same time the large bulk of his life was spent being told that it did matter. He was supposed to remain locked up in captivity because he did not believe that his country of South Africa should be racially divided due to British colonization, his fi ght for freedom before becoming president of South Africa is one of civilazation’s greatest triumphs and his lifelong mission to bring democracy to his people paid off by being the fi rst democratically elected President of the coutnry in 1994.

Still what sticks in my mind most, or rather what translates this to a sports section in a Sas-katchewan newspaper is how once elected Man-dela brought together South Africa through one of its most racially divisive heirlooms in its national rugby team. By hosting the 1996 Rugby World Cup, Mandela took the risk that people of all colours would embrace South Africa’s mostly all-white national rugby team as it was one of their own and that the event would run smoothly. In the end as many know from ESPN’s fantastic documentary and the Morgan Freeman starred

move Inviticus, Mandela’s faith in sport as an unifying tool paid off. The South Africans won the 1996 World Cup and it served as one of the turning points in a fractured country that made enough progress in Mandela’s two decades of free-dom that in 2010 the biggest event in the world came to South Africa when the World Cup was hosted in the country. Unlike in 1996 when racial divide was the story, the story in 2010 was more about the colourful di-versity adding to the event rather than distract-ing from it due to racial tensions. I will never forget the tens of thousands of South Africans exploding in jubilation during the opening game when the hosts took an early lead in the fi rst half, vuvezela’s and all celebrating as one. I was not old enough to appreciate Mandela in the way many have this week, but through histo-ry and the fi nal moments of Mandela’s life, includ-ing his fi nal public appearance at that very World Cup it was impossible to not consider him one of the most important people to have existed. Rest in peace to a man who while his life proved how insignifi cant the things we care about are, showed that one of our biggest distractions can unify the world, even if it is just a silly little game. May you never be forgotten.

At this time of year it is nice to look back and see where you have been, and where you are going as an organization. The YBID is no exception.

We have come a long, long way since a small group of business people met with a city offi cial and said “let’s start a Business Improvement District.”

One of those people was a long time advocate of small business in our community and has served as a YBID Board member since day o. That’s Terry Pollock of Gifts of Gold on Broadway.

After well over, what many would say has been an eternity of business boards, chamber meetings and regional development, as well as his association with the YBID, Terry has stepped down as a Board Member. We stopped counting his years of volunteer contributions to small business in Yorkton when we hit 30!

Terry says its time younger people got involved in the Yorkton BusinessImprovement District and give their new, and exciting ideas to the community that he has loved and served so many years.

As a result there are two new young business people on our YBID board for 2014.

Terry has almost done it all. Managed a business, Played Senior Terrier Hockey, lived in the big cities of Toronto and Calgary. Terry Pollock was on the Board of the Downtown Business Association and the Short Film and Video Festival and so much more.

Terry is settling back to run the business he loves, “Gifts of Gold” and other business involvements. We hope Terry understands that his time and efforts all these year’s has been for Yorkton Business, truly a real Gift of Gold for us!

Thanks Terry

Members of the Yorkton Business Improvement District
