Revenue increase good for the city

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Municipalities in the province got good news recently, as the Municipal Revenue Sharing program will see $8.3 million flowing to municipalities in the 2015-16 budget year.

The program, tied to one per cent of the PST, will see the biggest amount of revenue sharing since it has been implemented, with $265.3 million overall going to municipalities across the province.

Mayor Bob Maloney

says he’s happy to see the money flowing to the city. The municipal revenue sharing program is something tied to the provincial economy overall, and Maloney says that it’s great to see municipalities benefit from the good times Saskatchewan is currently experiencing.

“I think the agreement we have with the province is the envy of any other group in the country.”

The money will be spent on infrastructure improvements, and will allow the city to move up some projects that

“I think the agreement we have with the province is the envy of any other group in the country.”

– Mayor Bob Maloney were planned for further in the future. It won’t fund anything new, Maloney says, but will be used for ongoing multi-year projects such as the ongoing drainage improvement

plan.

“Our want list is pretty long, like most cities, and there just isn’t enough funds out there to get it all done, but it certainly will assist.”

He also says it’s a

good indication of where the province is at overall, given the way that the revenue sharing program is implemented. If the economy takes a down turn it could see the cities in a pinch, he admits, but right now it’s reflective of good things overall happening in the province.

“The PST, to me, is a very accurate reflection of what is going on in the provincial economy.

I think when you see increases this large it really shows how vibrant our Saskatchewan economy is.”

Maloney says that if there’s one thing he would like to see in terms of funding, it would be seeing more federal support to smaller cities, in addition to the overall positive agreement with the province. He notes that cities with populations over 150,000 can get federal funding for more projects, which is something he says Yorkton can’t benefit from, with many projects funded entirely through the municipality, putting a greater burden on the tax base.

College announces mining programs

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The mining industry is big business in Saskatchewan, especially in the parkland region.

Parkland College is responding to that need, signing two agreements to help prepare students to join that industry, working with Carlton Trail College, International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII) and the Government of Saskatchewan for new programs.

Two programs will be launched under the new agreement. One is the Introduction to Mining Course, training students for entry level positions in the potash mining industry in the region. The second course will bring SIAST’s Electrical Applied Certificate Enhanced program to the Esterhazy campus, in order to increase the number of electrician apprentices in the region.

Dr. Faye Myers, president of Parkland College, says that the new course will be focused on preparing students for the industry, with specific emphasis on skills needed as well as safe-

City names new manager

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The City of Yorkton has announced who will be taking the reins as the city manager. Lonnie Kaal, previously the Director of Finance for the past 20 years, has been named as the successor to Dave Putz, who retired after nine years in the position.

The city saw six applicants through the executive search process, conducted by Waterhouse Executive Search, with candidates from throughout Canada applying for the position.

“We had a good pool to select from, and as we went through the process it came down to one of our own. Having an inter-

Lonnie Kaal nal candidate that strong was good for our process and I’m very happy for her, she’s very capable,” says Mayor Bob Maloney.

Bringing in an internal candidate for the position does have advantages,

Maloney says, because it promises to be a smooth transition as Kaal transitions into her new role and responsibilities.

“She has probably forgotten more than I’ll ever learn about the city. She’s very well versed in every aspect of the city, she knows the staff. That’s a tremendous asset.”

Maloney says that the departing manager Dave Putz was a tremendous employee in his nine years at the helm and he believes Kaal will be the same now that she has assumed the city manager role.

The city is now looking at its options for Kaal’s previous position as Director of Finance.

Maloney expects a smooth transition there as well.

Bringing common sense to firearms licensing: Garry Breitkreuz

It’s another step in the right direction says Yorkton/Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz in regards to a recent federal decision on firearms.

Breitkreuz says he’s pleased with the recent announcement by federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney that makes Swiss Arms and CZ-858s rifles legal to use, as they were before February 25, 2014.

“The coming-into-force of an expanded Order Declaring an Amnesty Period (2014) is welcome news for owners of these rifles who will be able to use their property once again.”

Minister Blaney also announced the Conservative Government’s intention to table the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act when Parliament resumes in the autumn.

“This legislation will streamline licensing and eliminate needless red tape for law-abiding gun owners, while keeping Canadians safe,” says Breitkreuz. The legislation will: • merge the Possession Only License (POL) and the Possession and Acquisition License (PAL); • restrict the ability of Chief Firearms Officers to make arbitrary decisions; • create a grace period so that in-

dividuals who inadvertently miss renewing their firearms license are not made into criminals for paper work infractions; • make Authorizations to Transport a condition of a license; • require mandatory firearms safety courses for first-time gun owners; and strengthen firearms prohibitions for those convicted of domestic violence offences.

“This Conservative Government will always stand up for the rights of law-abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters,” adds Breitkreuz who also co-chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus.

“Hunting and sport shooting remain important outdoor heritage activities in this country.

“I am very pleased to be working with Minister Blaney on these important firearms issues. Like me, he believes that owning a firearm is a right, but a right that comes with responsibilities. The measures outlined here are a good step in the right direction.

I am confident that under the leadership of Minister Blaney, law-abiding gun owners in this country will benefit from fairer firearms laws.”

Yorkton in Bloom brings out the best in the city’s gardeners

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton in Bloom is about highlighting the people who make the city look good, awarding the gardeners who put in the time and effort to make the best looking yards and gardens they can.

One of those winners was Sylvia Bodnar, who with her husband Jon was recognized for their work in all aspects of their home. She says every year it’s a challenge to see what she can do, and she’s always pushing herself to try new things, look at different ideas, and make one of the best spaces in the city.

“If I’m going to have a garden, it needs to be a nice one, and if you’re going to have a yard you should have it the way you like it.”

This year has been a challenge, Bodnar says, because the weather has been uncooperative

during the whole growing season, with heavy rains and cold weather doing damage to many of the plants. She notes that her husband had some champion cucumbers last year, but this year has been a struggle to get them growing. She says it’s bouncing back, and it’s rewarding to see the garden come together even during a difficult year.

She says she plans to go all out next year in order to celebrate her 75th birthday. She says she might slow down eventually, but the Bodnar home was purchased partially because there was so much potential in the back yard, and she enjoys bringing out the best in it each year, and trying to make it better every time.

The list of winners is as follows: Best Home Front Yard: Sylvia Bodnar – 5 Delaere Drive

Brittany Stachura and Joshua Mickleborough – 26 Logan Cres.

W. Best Home Back Yard: Natalie Bylsma – 47 Cedarwood Cres.

Best Mobile Home Ground: Margaret Lachowsky – 56 Westshore Greens.

Best Vegetable/Community Garden: Max and Vi Protz – 80 Irwin Ave. Best Senior Housing Complex Deck/Balcony: Queen Elizabeth Court 2nd and 3rd floor balconies – 113 4th Ave. N. Best Residential Street: Manitoba Ave. Golden Bloomer Awards: Best Home Back Yard, Best Vegetable/Community Garden: Jon and Sylvia Bodnar – 5 Delaere Drive.

Best Senior Housing Unit: Florance Matechuk – 140 Jubilee Cres.

Saskatchewan residents have until October 18 to nominate outstanding individuals for the next round of Saskatchewan Volunteer Medals, which will be presented in 2015 when this provincial honour celebrates its 20th anniversary.

“As we approach the

20th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal, it is remarkable to look back at all who have received our highest volunteer honour and to consider their collective contributions to our province – it is nothing short of staggering,” Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield comments.

“I encourage everyone to consider nominating

a deserving individual this year, to enable us to thank them publicly for their outstanding commitment to the greater good, and to add their name to the list of our most impressive volunteers.”

The medal was established in 1995 and will be presented by the Lieutenant Governor to the recipients this spring in Regina. To date, 165 people have

received it.

Any current or former long-term resident of Saskatchewan who is a Canadian citizen is eligible for nomination.

Nominations are not accepted posthumously; for sitting members of Parliament, the Legislature and judiciary; or for groups and organizations.

The medal is silver, circular in form and suspended by a V-

Teaching our way to a better system We count on them to help raise our children into capable, educated, secure adults. They play a crucial role in our society, so anything we can do to better support that role is a boon for the province and our country.

The Government of Saskatchewan, in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) and other education stakeholder groups, has announced it has appointed an eight person transition committee to develop a new regulatory body to handle teacher certification and discipline in Saskatchewan.

Government initiated the change is intended to provide Saskatchewan teachers with the same authority and responsibility as other self regulated professions in the province. The body will regulate who is a member of the profession and will oversee disciplinary functions for misconduct or incompetence.

The transition committee consists of the a varied group of representatives which will communicate and consult with teachers, parents, students and the public over the next year as they develop the bylaws and structure of the new regulatory body, and will provide regular updates to the sector through their representatives.

The new regulatory body is expected to be in operation by fall 2015.

Transparency, simplicity, fairness and functionality are all important components and perhaps this move will help to ensure this is the case as we move forward as a province and a whole.

Why not let kids just be kids?

Maybe it’s because I don’t have enough understanding of the topic, or that I don’t have enough experience to really relate to it, but if you ask me, we’re treading on some shaky ground here.

Both BC and Alberta have broken new territory by deciding to allow two children – one age 11, the other 12 to legally change the gender on their birth certificates. In Ontario the law states, or did state (it may be changing) that in order to change your male/female status on your birth certificate, a sex change had to occur. Both BC and Alberta have agreed this isn’t necessary. And now there are people in Saskatchewan rallying for the same rights.

In fact, one Saskatchewan woman is fighting for the right of her six year old “daughter” to be officially deemed female rather than male. She claims her child has wanted to be a girl since the age of three.

Okay...

I know times are changing and I know sexual orientation isn’t always a choice, that sometimes people are just born the way they are and that’s all there is to it. But doesn’t it take time to come to this conclusion? Does a three year old really know what is what at that tender age?

When I was young, growing up with four brothers, I WANTED to be a boy. You did not see me playing with dolls and barbies. I rode bikes, climbed trees and went fishing and hunting with my dad. I dressed in my brothers hand-meand was anything Shannon Deveau downs but a frilly girl. Things have changed. I call it a Tom Boy phase. No big deal. My parents accepted it and didn’t try to force or change anything – legally or otherwise. When my own two kids were small, my daughter would cringe and throw a fit if I would try to dress her in all the pretty, pink dresses a mom loves to doll their daughters up in. My son on the other hand, cried because he couldn’t go out in these types of things. Today, my daughter is an expecting mom and a well adjusted woman. And my boy is all boy.

What if I had taken those things as a sign that they should switch genders? Imagine the confusion that would have ensued in the years to follow?

There are exceptions to every rule. I understand that, but in today’s world of “having everything now” and rallying for change, maybe we ought not be so quick to rush into some things and just let kids be kids. There will be time enough for labelling, decisions and choices.

The way I see it...

Column

Let’s stop judging our debt-laden neighbours Whenever you see an article on consumer debt, you can be guaranteed that it has a certain degree of shaming the people who actually hold all that debt.

Why are these people so burdened with it? Why aren’t they paying off their mortgage faster, for instance, even though financial analysts recommend that course of action? Why is the country, as a whole, generally owing more than their annual salary?

The answer that nobody ever seems to want to admit is that people continue to have debt because they lack the money to pay it off, and they get into debt because, for whatever reason, they did not originally have the money to buy whatever they purchased. It’s simple, and kind of infuriating when you see people who make it their mission to wag their finger at those who really didn’t have much choice in the matter in the first place.

Of course, some consumer debt can be traced to the purchase of things a person does not need, and this is often the reason why people like to shake their heads at those people who have a great deal owing. If not for the television in their living room, they argue, they would be living in financial freedom. However, the much greater proportion of the debt is things people do need. A place to live? You’re either renting or taking out a mortgage, and good look finding a house

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger under $100,000. Reliable transportation? While some people can get away with public transit, an actual car is going to start to be a few thousand if you want something that can actually get you to work. Now that you have a house and car, you have to deal with unexpected repairs and appliances and so on. While those people who like to shame the debt-laden like to trumpet living within your means, unexpected expenses still exist, and especially for young people who haven’t had the chance to pay off their other main source of debt – student loans, which are often necessary to get an education and a job – there’s really no other way to pay for things that are necessary to continue living.

Because of these factors, people are owing a lot of money. They don’t actually have much choice in the matter, owing money is just the order of the day if you’ve never really been given a chance to save any money. This means that Canada’s consumer debt is high, the more people who have to establish themselves without money in the bank, the more debt you’re going to get, and it’s something that’s a consistent trend across the country.

This is also why it’s increasingly infuriating to see people putting on their judging pants, and lecturing the debt laden about making poor decisions. There are definitely some people who spend money in highly illogical ways, of course, but that’s not the majority of the country, and that’s not the primary reason people who are accumulating more debt than assets. Instead, we’re seeing people who are introduced to a system designed to front load them with debt before they can do much to avoid it. Savings don’t happen when you’ve got to spend to make a career, and debt is inevitable when this is the case.

So instead of disapproving of people who aren’t paying off their mortgage immediately or have several loans, let’s leave them alone. They know that it’s not an ideal situation, and have enough to worry about with their bills as it is.

Teaching incentives needed

To the Editor: A call by the three Western Premiers for the dismantling of internal trade barriers between their provinces is a great idea – one that is long overdue. It would lead to more opportunities for enterprising businesses, lower costs for consumers, and greater economic freedom.

But despite the publicly-stated good intentions by Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall, B.C.’s Christie Clark and Alberta’s interim leader, Dave Hancock, I remain sceptical.

What precisely are they proposing? You see, Canada’s constitution already guarantees free-trade between the provinces, yet each successive batch of leaders has “conveniently” forgotten it.

And even though socalled “incrementalism” has been a highly successful policy of Canada’s political right for the past 20 years, this is an instance where it should not be applied.

Section 121 of Canada’s Constitution Act, 1867, says, “All Articles of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces shall, from and after the Union, be admitted free into each of the other Provinces.”

The constitution is clear – inter-provincial trade is to be unencumbered by taxes, tariffs, and the like. When maintaining existing trade barriers, Canadian governments are thumbing their noses at the constitution.

Liquor laws offer the

perfect example of the collusion between the federal and provincial governments to erect trade barriers.

In 1928, at the request of the provincial legislatures, the federal parliament enacted the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act – “IILA” for short. This law makes individuals who transport an alcoholic beverage across

to receive an Alberta microbrewery’s beer in the mail. According to the IILA, these practices are illegal, finable, and worthy of jail-time.

Making matters worse, provincial governments hide taxes in the retail purchase price. B.C. lawyer Mark Hicken has an online calculator that outlines all the fees and costs associated with the

“While I do hope that the coalition of premiers makes strides towards a free trade zone in Western Canada, I am sceptical that much will come from it.” provincial borders liable to a $200 fine. And repeat delinquent offenders could spend up to 12 months in prison.

As Toronto lawyer Ian Blue put it, the IILA is very likely unconstitutional because it is in direct conflict with section 121.

The provincial liquor monopolies that we are all familiar with were created by the IILA. And, like all monopolies, the IILA prevents innovation and drives up prices.

In an era where consumers do much of their shopping online, the IILA prohibits producers from selling their products directly to consumers in other provinces. There is no way for a Saskatchewan resident to order a bottle of B.C. wine online, or a B.C. resident

purchase of a bottle of wine in his province. As a result, retail purchasers are unaware that they are paying exorbitant taxes.

But were the IILA repealed or declared unconstitutional, the entire liquor distribution regime in Canada would be jeopardized.

And there are some powerful interests that want to see the status quo maintained.

The provincial distribution regimes propped up by the IILA are reliable and lucrative revenue streams for the provinces.

In 2013, Alberta’s Gaming and Liquor Commission transferred over $728 million to the provincial coffers for liquor sales, while Saskatchewan’s received $478 million in 2013 and B.C.’s $911

million in 2012. Governments of all political stripes are equally complicit in maintaining these unconstitutional trade barriers.

Similarly, public sector unions don’t want section 121 of the constitution to be taken seriously.

These unions have advanced their selfserving opposition under the ruse of public safety. On its website, the Saskatchewan Government Employees’ Union issued a press release decrying the opening of two private liquor stores in the province.

SGEU president Bob Bymoen said, “Alcohol is not just another consumer product. It is a drug that can and does cause serious problems for families and communities. Because of that, Saskatchewan citizens should have a say in how alcohol is sold in this province.” Of course, he fails to mention that the union he represents has a vested interest in maintaining unconstitutional trade barriers.

While I do hope that the coalition of premiers makes strides towards a free trade zone in Western Canada, I am sceptical that much will come from it.

After all, the neglected section 121 has guaranteed free trade within Canada since 1867, and by not immediately complying with the constitution, each of these premiers has already shirked from their responsibility to Canadians.

If it passes there will be consequences

To the Editor:

What is UPOV’91 – Bill C-18?

The Agricultural Growth Act is an omnibus bill introduced on December 9, 2013. Omnibus bills amend many pieces of legislation at once, often on unrelated matters.

Omnibus bills make it impossible to fully examine each proposed change. Under C18, Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) apply to newly bred varieties that are essentially derived from PBR-protected varieties, allowing plant breeders to exercise control over the results of future plant breeding.

Bill C18 allows for collection of end-point royalties (EPR) if royalties are not first collected on seed.

An EPR system would require compulsory payments by farmers to the plant breeder upon sale of a crop grown from a PBR-protected variety.

The main beneficiaries of C-18 would thus be private breeders, including the large companies that dominate the global seed industry: Monsanto, DuPont, Pioneer, Syngenta, Limagrain, Land O Lakes, KWS, Bayer Cropscience, and Dow AgroSciences.

Farmers would be at the mercy of these Multinationals.

With this information, at the February 2014 SARM Annual Convention delegates voted strongly in favour of the following: Resolution No 12 – 14A, RM of Emerald No 277 – UPOV’91 “WHEREAS adoption of UPOV’91 will reduce the freedom and rights of Canadian farmers, increase production costs, lower income margins and hurt farmer independence; BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the Provincial Government to use their influence with the Federal Govern-

ment to remove this section from the Agriculture Growth Act.” Yet, on April 23 SARM sent out a letter to all reeves, councilors and administrators that contained a statement from Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture promoting UPOV’91.

If Bill C-18 passes there will be negative consequences for farmers regardless of how they obtain their seed. C-18 would result in increased seed costs due to higher royalties on more varieties. Seed companies could/would deregister varieties currently in the public domain (royalty-free seed), reducing farmers’ choice of seed and pushing them to use more expensive seed protected by Plant Breeders’ Rights.

So, who calls the shots at SARM, delegates or the Sask. Party?

Harper’s trade performance barely mediocre To the Editor: About a year ago, with the fallout from Mike Duffy and ethical scandals in the Prime Minister’s Office contaminating just about everything, Stephen Harper launched an elaborate “change the channel” strategy.

He shuffled his Cabinet.

He prorogued Parliament once again to buy some extra time. He presented the longest and most vacuous Throne Speech that ever opened a new session of the House of Commons.

And the very next day, he jetted off to Brussels, with much fanfare, to sign a

long-awaited trade agreement between Canada and the European Union.

It’s all done, Mr. Harper said. Just a few technical points to settle among the lawyers working on the final wording, but we’ve got a deal, he claimed.

Justin Trudeau welcomed what appeared

to be the good news. He reserved final judgment until Canadians could see the legal text, but in principle, Liberals would support a well-negotiated agreement between Canada and vast markets in the EU. Continued on Page 8.

To the Editor:

By now high school graduates have had their graduation celebrations, started their summer jobs, and many are getting ready for university. Some plan to attend research-oriented universities, such as the University of Manitoba, while others plan to attend teaching-oriented universities, such as Brandon University.

Unfortunately, those who attend a research university will soon learn that teaching first-year students is not highly valued. In fact, students will discover that many courses are scheduled in large lecture halls with several hundred seats. Many of these students will also discover that their instructors are inexperienced graduate students who receive small stipends.

Almost three years ago, 40 university presidents and vice-presidents held a conference – The Revitalization of Undergraduate Education Canada – to examine the success of undergraduate students at Canadian universities.

In the keynote address, Robert Campbell, the president of Mount Allison University, noted that universities have “lost their way.” “We all feel and know that the character of the undergraduate experience has deteriorated in our lifetime, especially so in the last decades…. “And we know in our heart of hearts that this experience can and should be much better.”

Unfortunately, the situation has gotten worse rather than better.

In the closing address, Paul Davidson, the president of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, admitted: “We are actively searching for new policy tools, new policy ideas … to ensure that Canadian universities are equipped to make the next generation of students the best educated and the best prepared to meet the challenges that this country is facing.”

This admission is surprising because these people should know how to educate undergraduate students.

Nevertheless, the little available data show that at the research universities between 20 and 30 percent of firstyear students fail to proceed to second year, and fewer than 60 percent graduate within six years.

Surprisingly, no new and effective policy tools to fix this problem have been devised by these high-priced senior administrators. Some recent initiatives in the United States, however, show us how this could be done.

In 2008, the U.S. federal government passed the Higher Education Opportunity Act, which required all postsecondary institutions that received federal funds to disclose the number of students who graduate within fixed periods of time. In fact, the legislation provided much needed information to students, parents, and taxpayers.

Celebrate “local” wherever you may be I love cooking with fresh local ingredients and there is no better time of year than the summer to do this. Many restaurants will also switch up their menus to celebrate local harvests as well. One of my favourite new menu selections (when we do go out) is the Prawn & Brie Flatbread at my local White Spot Restaurant here in British Columbia.

I have contacted them and they were honoured to share the recipe with me from their Celebrate BC summer menu, and today I pass this on to you. I hope you enjoy it!

Wherever you live, I encourage you to visit neighborhood restaurants that embrace the local produce/ingredients in your area.

PRAWN & LITTLE QUALICUM BRIE FLATBREAD “Recipe courtesy of White Spot Executive Chef, Danny Markowicz, has been modified for you to be able to enjoy at home. Makes 4 flatbreads” • 1/2 cup olive oil • 1 tsp garlic, finely chopped • 1 tsp chili flakes • 6 slices bacon, 1/4 inch pieces • 8 pieces baby zucchini, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise • 1/2 tsp white balsamic vinegar • 1/2 tsp olive oil • Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper • 16 prawns, cut in half lengthwise • 1/2 tsp lemon juice • 1/2 tsp olive oil

Chef Dez on Cooking

by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com • Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper • 4 Flatbreads (Naan bread works great, or your favorite pizza crust) • 16 slices Brie, thinly sliced (we use Little Qualicum Cheeseworks from Parksville) • 1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded • 6 Heirloom Tomatoes, cut in half Heat 1/2 cup light olive oil over medium heat and add 1 tsp chopped garlic and chili flakes. When garlic is just starting to turn golden, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Set this chili oil aside.

Add the bacon pieces to a pan and slowly cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t clump together.

When the bacon is crispy around the edges, remove from heat, cool and drain excess fat. Set these bacon bits aside.

Dress the zucchini with the white balsamic vinegar and 1/2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and fresh cracked black pepper. BBQ over high heat, placing them flat side down. This will give nice charred marks and will look and taste great on your flatbread. Set aside this as well.

Season the prawns with a touch of oil, lemon juice and fresh cracked

black pepper. Set aside.

Assembly To assemble, lay the flatbread bases out on a clean countertop, and add 1 tbsp. of reserved chili oil to each one, spreading the oil out right to the edges. Add the sliced brie and mozzarella cheese, followed by the reserved bacon bits, trying to spread the ingredients out evenly.

Arrange the reserved grilled zucchini overtop, showing off the nice grill marks. Add the reserved seasoned/raw prawns, but don’t overlap them so they cook evenly.

Finally, cut some small beautiful local heirloom tomatoes in half and place them attractively over the top.

If you like, a little salt and pepper on the tomatoes makes them sing...

Bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes until the flatbread base is crisp, the prawns are fully cooked and the cheese is melted.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - Page 7A

The Presbyterian Church in Yorkton – interesting history I am not a history professor, nor am I a history student. I am simply a man who has a love of Canadian history. Canada’s history is a fascinating one. My mission is to not only educate, but to show everyone just how epic Canadian history truly is.

Email: crwbaird@ gmail.com. Twitter: @ CraigBaird.

Facebook: Canadian History Ehx. http://canadaehx.blogspot.ca

By Craig Baird Considered to be one of the first organized churches in Yorkton, the Presbyterian Church has its origins dating back to 1884, thanks to Allan Patterson, who was a missionary that came to the area and conducted services not in any church, but in the homes of settlers of the area.

Eventually, the home of James Sharp Sr. would serve as a temporary home for the congregation. Two of the student missionaries with the Presbyterian Church would have a major impact on the history of

land for the church.

While the church had the land, it did not have the building. The building was finally completed on Nov. 5, 1893

and Reverend James Robertson would officiate. The church cost a mere $975 to build at the time.

In 1895, the very first

Yorkton. Mr. Urquhart was the person who would conduct the very first church service within Yorkton itself, in a home of a parishioner. R.P. Byers, another missionary with the church, would publish The Messenger, the very first newspaper in the history of Yorkton.

This newspaper was a hand-printed sheet, duplicated with stencils and sold for one dollar per year. It was only published 12 times though, from June to September of 1892.

In 1893, the need for a church was becoming urgent and to aid the church, the York Farmers’ Colonization Company donated the

regular minister for the church came to town.

Reverend W.E. Wallace would remain in the community until 1901, when Reverend M.

Henderson took over.

Under the leadership of Henderson, the need for a better church became apparent. The congregation was increasing in size but with a lack of money, the church would have to wait.

When Reverend H.D. Leitch came to town to replace Henderson, he helped to get a new church built. The new church was built at the corner of Second and Smith, on land purchased from Dr. T.A. Patrick. A Purves was awarded a $15,000 contract to build the church. The cornerstone of the church was put in place on Aug. 30, 1909 and the church was completed in March of 1910. Reverend Charles Gordon would dedicate the church, which by the time of its completion had cost $30,000 to build.

From that day on, the church would become an important gathering place for the congregation, both for church services, community events, weddings, fundraisers, funerals and much more.

Canadian teaching incentives needed Con’t from Page 5

Students began selecting institutions that were more successful in graduating first-year students which put pressure on the other universities to improve their teaching.

In Canada, provincial governments, supported by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, could improve the transparency, quality, and comparability of data across institutions and provinces.

The total cost of universities in Canada was slightly more than $26 billion in 2008-09.

Provincial governments provided almost 49 percent of the funds; the students’ tuition fees accounted for about 22 percent; and the federal government provided almost 12 percent, which mostly went to research grants for faculty members and their graduate students.

Unfortunately, in the research-oriented universities, the incentives are, as expected, for research and not for teaching.

Professors, graduate students, and administrators have good reasons for maintaining the status quo.

Nevertheless, there needs to be a balancing of the responsibilities and rewards so that un-

dergraduate students, who provide substantially more funds than the federal government, are more likely to graduate.

For this reason, provincial governments should insist that all universities publish the type of data that U.S in-

stitutions are required to publish. Otherwise, governments should decrease the funds they give to universities.

Only then will the status quo change.

It is time for professors and administrators at research universities to realize that

first-year students deserve to have excellent courses, and that more than 60 percent deserve to graduate within six years.

Trade performance barely mediocre Con’t from Page 5.

Such a deal would help the Canadian economy to grow. It would stimulate new middle class jobs. It would improve living standards and help bolster incomes -- wages in exporting sectors of our economy tend to be 50% higher than in sectors that are not trade intensive.

But now, nearly a year later, it seems that Mr. Harper was just pulling everyone’s leg.

There was no reason to rush off to Belgium for a signing ceremony last fall. It was all just for show, because there is still no final deal between Canada and the EU. Germany (and possibly other countries) are signalling a veto unless major terms are renegotiated.

This fiasco-in-themaking is another example of Mr. Harper’s less-than-stellar record on trade.

He boasts about having brought six – count them –six new trade deals into force since 2006.

That’s a fine “talking point”, but here’s the list: Panama, Jordan, Columbia, Peru, Honduras and the European Free Trade Association. Taken together, these markets represent just two per cent of the world’s GDP. That’s not enough volume to make a big difference.

To be fair, another agreement was concluded recently with Korea, but it’s a long way from being implemented. Several oth-

ers are “in progress”, including multilateral talks with potential Trans-Pacific partners, but it’s way too soon to predict where these will end up. Suffice it to say, for now, results over the past eight years have been slow and mediocre.

A critical indicator is Canada’s trade balance.

For a very long time, it’s been in deficit. So despite a few new trade agreements and all the spin-doctoring to puff up the government’s ego, the country is not gaining the trade traction it needs to drive a decent level of economic growth. This point has been made repeatedly by the Bank of Canada.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce agrees.

It says Canada’s trade performance is “lagging” and “dismal”, and it crunches some numbers to prove the point.

According to the Chamber, after accounting for big price increases in energy products, the volume of merchandise exports shipped by Canada in 2012 was actually five per cent lower than in 2000, despite a 57% increase in trade worldwide.

Quite apart from trade negotiations, Canada needs a sound marketing plan, particularly in new emerging economies. We need to be present consistently, building governmentto-government relationships and paving the way for exports to flow. And we need to bring coherence and some sizzle into our approach.

Mr. Harper could learn some lessons about salesmanship and effective economic diplomacy from Jean Chretien’s “Team Canada” trade missions in the 1990’s. They built a “brand” for Canada in global trade and helped to get business done.

Mr. Harper should also be far more inclusive and transparent in telling Canadians what his government is doing, and asking for their advice, to strengthen Canada’s trade performance and increase exports.

Just saying “trust me” doesn’t work for a government that is producing such pitiful outcomes.

PLAYOFF BOUND - After a half decade of no playoffs for the WMBL’s Yorkton Cardinals, 2014 will mark the return of playoff baseball as the Cards will take on the Regina Red Sox in the first round.

Cardinals end WMBL Playoff drought

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer

They may not have finished the 2014 Western Major Baseball League regular season with an above .500 record, but the Yorkton Cardinals couldn’t be blamed for referring to themselves as a winning ballclub on Tuesday when it became official that a five year streak of missing the playoffs would be coming to an end as the Cards would outlast the defending champion Melville Millionaires for the final East Division playoff spot.

Following a late July win streak leading into a very difficult final stretch on the road in Alberta to close out the bulk

of their regular season, the Cardinals would drop games in Lethbridge and Okotoks in a four game slide on their Western swing to see their win streak hold out the final playoff spot in the end as the Mils were mathematically eliminated from the playoff chase on Tuesday.

After picking up three huge wins over Melville the week before, things didn’t go as planned once the Cardinals travelled through Alberta as following a strong start to their road trip with a win in Swift Current things never got on track in the WMBL’s second province against West Division ballclubs in the Lethbridge Bulls and the Okotoks

Dawgs.

In Swift Current, Yorkton would get exactly the start to the tough road trip they wanted as four and five run innings in the late stages along with an eight inning outing from Cole Roark on the mound would preserve arms as well gain some valuable momentum by the way of a needed 10-3 win over the Indians. Infielders Stetson McCollin and Zach Mihic would be the difference makers in the victory, both picking up a trio of RBI’s each in the win that came thanks to a sudden barrage of hitting

by Yorkton in the seventh and eighth innings.

In their first of four road games in Alberta against the

Lethbridge Bulls, the Cardinals would start things off on the right foot with starter Jamie Whitehead on the mound.

Going out to a 4-1 lead Yorkton gave their pitching staff more than enough run support to potentially hold onto a second straight road victory against a division leader, but the Bulls had other ideas.

Showing why they lead the West Division, the Bulls would put up two eight run innings to easily erase the 3-1 Yorkton lead in what was an eventual 21-8 final. Despite the 13 run gap, Lethbridge had just one more hit than Yorkton in what was a tough loss for the Cards.

Midget AA cards lose in Provincial Semifinal

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After a lack of available players caused a cancellation of high level Midget aged baseball in the city of Yorkton, a group of talented young ballplayers was formed this spring in an attempt to revitalize the game amongst Yorkton’s teenage baseball talents as the Yorkton Midget AA Cardinals returned to action for a full 2014 season.

Finishing with a winning record in regular season AA play, finishing in the top half of the province in doing so, the Cardinals would host 2014 Saskatchewan Midget AA Baseball Provincials at Jubilee Park over the weekend with a chance to

earn a spot at the 2014 Western Canadian Baseball Championships in Swift Current.

Placed in a pool with the best team in the province in the Swift Current Indians, the Cardinals would avoid the Indians in pool play as the two top teams in the group would miss out on playing each other by the luck of the draw. Both would go undefeated over the weekend, with Swift Current easily finishing in first place on run differential by allowing just one run over the round robin.

Yorkton would finish off their undefeated pool play on Sunday morning against the Saskatoon Athletics following a wet Saturday that pushed many games back into the night thanks to heavy rainfall I WANT A QUESADILLA, HOW ABOUT YOU GRANDMA?

during the afternoon. The layoff didn’t appear to hurt the Cardinals, who roared out to an early lead before holding on with some steady relief pitching to secure a 5-4 win and momentum heading into the semifinal against the Northeast Red Sox. Resting ace Tyson Black in the early game to ensure their best pitcher would be starting the game in which Yorkton would be looking to beat a team that had their number all season in the Red Sox, the Cardinals would bat first and put lone third year player Mason Kelley on second base with one out. Unluckily for Yorkton the next batter would rip a hot shot to the shortstop who would tag out Kelley for the double play.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - Page 11A

Midget AA Cardinals finish successful season Cont. from Page 10 The next inning would see Yorkton to threaten to score again as this time the Cardinals would put runners on second and third with a sacrifice opportunity, scoring two runs through Caleb Bymak and Mason Kelley before the runs were called back after the pitcher Black was controversially called out on baserunner interference.

Taking back what would have been a Cardinals 2-1 lead the Red Sox instead saw themselves in a two out situation with Bymak and Kelley being forced to return to their bases following an umpire review, something that proved to be a turning point after a well hit ball to the middle of the outfield was tracked down by the Northeast centerfielder who kept the Cardinals from cashing in runners in scoring position with less than two outs.

Northeast would again take advantage of some fielding miscues by the Cardinals, scoring on two wild throws to third base to add to their tally as after the called back runs that would have given Yorkton the lead things

went the way of the Red Sox from that point forward.

In the end the Cardinals would drop their only game of the tournament to the Red Sox in a 6-0 final, but finishing with a 27-20-2 record after having no team just one season ago the Midget AA Cardinals season could be considered nothing but a massive success.

Something that manager Tony Black echoed following the game.

“The guys on this team are younger and they came to play today,” said Black.

“Unfortunately we got outplayed, but we knew that it would be a tough game coming in and it was a good lesson learned for our team.”

On the controversial calls that swung against Yorkton, Black backed the umpires decisions in what the manager deemed were judgement calls on 50/50 plays where the decisions could have went either way.

“Looking back at the decisions that were made, they are judgement calls,” mentioned Black. “We don’t feel that we lost the came because of any umpire and feel that the officials did the best they

could in the situations during the game.”

“They made their decisions and I questioned

their calls which they explained to me and I

MIDGET AA CARDINALS FINISH WINNING SEASON WITH PROVINCIAL DEFEAT - Starting pitcher Tyson Black was named MVP in the Yorkton Midget AA Cardinals 6-0 loss to the Northeast Red sox, pitching a quality start despite some tough fielding luck.

Yorkton went 27-20-2 in 2014 to finish with a winning season in Midget AA play.

was satisfied with their answers,” closed Black on the topic of the tough decisions the umpires were forced to make in the game, including a protest for an improper lineup submitted by the Red Sox where the Northeast player numbers did not match their submitted starting lineup.

Black was happy with the way that the Cardinals return to Midget AA baseball went in 2014, finishing with a winning record on a team that should have many returning players. Enough in fact that Black feels the city could support two Midget ballclubs if their numbers can continue to grow.

“We were seven games over .500 for a young team and the teams we played often had senior players throughout their lineups but the players game to play and we gave everyone we came across a good game.”

“There is definitely a lot of potential here, we just have to keep getting the kids out to play,” said Black. “With Yorkton’s numbers we could have two quality Midget teams in the city so the future is definitely bright for Midget baseball in the city.”

Cards look forward to WMBL Playoff clash with Sox Cont. from Page 10.

With Whitehead only making it 3.2 innings during the loss as the starter, Yorkton would also have to empty their bullpen in the loss. Using Yorkton’s Derek Marshall, Easton Etter, Matt Collier and catcher Georgie Santiago in the 13 run defeat.

Yorkton would find even less luck in Okotoks taking on the Dawgs, losing 12-3 and once again using five pitchers on the road in the loss that wasn’t close as the three Cardinals runs didn’t come until the eighth inning when it was all too late in a nine run blowout loss.

Saturday would see Clay Rideout give the Cardinals a quality start, going seven innings and finally giving the tired Yortkon bullpen some much needed rest. Rideout’s strong outing on the mound didn’t come with enough run support for a victory as despite getting a slim 2-1 victory, a two run bottom of the fifth for the Dawgs would earn them a home sweep of the Cardinals during their two game series.

Returning to Lethbridge with Cole Scanlon on the mound looking to avoid an 0-4 trip through Alberta, the Cardinals would once again have problems keeping the Bulls bats from putting up runs in bunches at their home ballpark. Runs in the first three innings for the Bulls would put them in control as Scanlon would struggle to get out of innings unscathed before a late six run inning would add insult to injury in a 14-4 loss to give the Cardinals four straight defeats

while on the road.

Luckily for the Cardinals their rivals in Melville fared equally as terrible, continuing to pile up losses while needing desperately to make up ground to have any hope of making their Wednesday night season finale with the Cardinals a play in game for the last WMBL Playoff spot.

That did not happen as Melville could never regain their footing despite being defending WMBL champions, finishing last in the East and allowing the Cardinals to clinch the playoffs in advance of their final games of the season.

Already into the playoffs, the Cardinals would be playing for momentum during the final game of their road trip against Swift Current.

Looking to pick up where they left off in what was their lone high note of their six game road trip, Yorkton would score three runs in the top of the first thanks to RBI’s from Stetson McCollin and Ben Grillo.

Unfortunately those would be the only runs the Cardinals would manage to score in the game, eventually falling off the pace in a 9-3 final that gave Yorkton a 1-5 record during their road trip. A record that the team may have felt could have cost them a chance at a playoff berth leading up to their road swing through Swift Current and Alberta, but in the end their strong mid-July run deservedly put them in the WMBL Playoffs.

Yorkton will now turn their attentions onto the Regina Red Sox, who the Cardinals will need to step up in play in order to advance against the

East Division champions from the regular season as the only winning ballclub in the division this season.

Despite the gap in wins between the two clubs, Yorkton has had success against the Red Sox, including wins in

Regina this season that they will need to repeat this weekend in big opening games of the series at Currie Field. If the Cards can pick up an upset in the best of five series to return to Jubilee Park with home ballpark advantage for Games

Three and Four in Yorkton they will have a much better chance at advancing as underdogs.

Regardless of how the playoffs go, simply being there will be a success for a club that has missed the postseason for five

straight seasons before this August. Looking to continue to prove to the city that this is a team that can bring winning baseball back to Yorkton, the Cardinals will be looking to extend their return to the postseason as long as possible.

Whatever you need done, you’ll find the solutions right here!

Toronto Blue Jays should spend at MLB trade deadline Ruttig’s rants

It was no secret during the 2013 Major League Baseball offseason that the Toronto Blue Jays ownership were on a mission to make a splash to drum up excitement over the team’s playoff chances in the AL East after two decades of missing the postseason behind the big spending New Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Bringing in Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes from the Miami Marlins and National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey from the New York Mets, the Blue Jays committed serious payroll for the chance to compete for a division title as well as a Wild Card spot in the hopes of restoring what used to be extremely high attendances at the Rogers Centre/ SkyDome and of course increased television interest across Canada when the Jays were at their 90’s peak.

That didn’t happen in 2013 as the Blue Jays season was probably their most disappointing of the years the team has failed to make the playoffs since back to back World Series runs before the 1994 strike. Despite having Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay, and Carlos Delgado all star for the franchise at various points the Blue Jays could never put together a full 162 game season due to management, talent, bad luck and at some points a refusal to spend money to compete in a world dominated by high payrolls with no MLB salary cap. So when the Jays decided to finally reward their long suffering fans in Toronto and across the country and didn’t come close to making the postseason, it hurt even more despite the goodwill and hype that Rogers created by finally investing in the team.

With little expectations of contending for a postseason appearance in 2014 following the disaster of last season, the Blue Jays have seen a group of “no name” talents mesh with the teams prior investments survive unfortunate injury luck and a weak pitching staff to enter the days leading up to the trade deadline with a spot in the playoffs, but after investing large portions of money in 2013 the Rogers investing in talent to make the Jays a contender has magically went away at the worst possible time. New York is searching for whatever they can get to help Derek Jeter make the playoffs in his final season, Oakland is acting like the Yankees usually act at this time of year after becoming famous for not spending and have already picked up the most sought after pitcher on the

Column Chase Ruttig

market to bolster the rotation, and the likes of the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels already spent big during 2014 MLB Free Agency to push for a potential World Series run. Meanwhile the Blue Jays have made a small deal to add a depth infielder, but with Buehrle struggling in the rotation with no wins since the beginning of June the team could use one more starting pitcher or a reliever to match their loaded lineup with a respectable pitching staff that can get the wins required in August and September to hold onto their lead for the AL Wild Card spot and potentially chase the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East title.

For Rogers the move to dump some money into the Blue Jays front office to make a pennant chase seems to be a no brainer. Every Jays game is shown on their long list of cable channels, all 162 of them having far more value to advertisers and the Sportsnet executives if they are getting ratings that reflect a team that is trying to become the first Canadian franchise to make the MLB Playoffs since 1993. Competing with only the NFL Preseason as well as the TSN-exclusive CFL during August, wouldn’t a big move on July 31 draw the viewers that Rogers wants to lure from TSN and onto Sportsnet all summer?

The television market also ignores the fact that the Jays typically struggle to sell tickets like all baseball franchises when they are out of the playoff race late in the season, something people who have watched a fall game during the past 20 years of Blue Jays baseball can tell you as there are a

lot of empty blue seats at Rogers Centre when Toronto fans have given up hope. Holding their lead for the second Wild Card spot, that shouldn’t be a problem as there should be hope of the playoffs in Toronto all season barring a losing streak at this point, but trying to avoid a one game playoff on the road the goal should be a potential division title and not to invest the hopes of the postseason on a one game series on the road should they finish second in the AL East and go the Wild Card route.

It should be said that Rogers spending has kept a talented nucleus around long enough in addition to the 2013 acquisitions who are producing much more this season, but the Jays ownerships lack of want to support their investment at a crucial period in franchise history is a shame. If only because of the fact that they poured money into the franchise at will just slightly over 12 months ago, which makes everything surrounding the Jays ability to make moves in the coming days to potentially secure a postseason result that means everything to Canadian baseball fans a reality.

In baseball, spending money at times is as important as anything that can happen on the field.

After all, the Boston Red Sox memorable first World Series wins only came once the team decided to enter an all-out bidding war with the New York Yankees. Teams succeed with what they have, but in a sport with 162 games payroll is going to show when depth is needed and especially in pitching, the Jays current weak spot. Manager John Gibbons has surprisingly did his best to manage the staff and on their current streak has found a promising young arm in Marcus Stroman as their new ace, but if a player is on the market who can bolster their pitching it is clear in the minds of many that the Jays need to do whatever is possible to make that move.

If the Jays front office do find a deal to bring in a proven talent at the deadline it is also Rogers job to invest in their franchise, and invest in the fans that they profit on with their round the clock promotion and coverage of the Jays. Selling the country on the concept of “Canada’s Team” it is time for Rogers to make an investment in the dreams of the Canadian sports fan. Something that once put the Jays franchise on the map ownership can do once again by investing in a baseball team Canada can believe in.

Yorkton Terriers add two more players to collegiate ranks

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer The RBC Cup champion Yorkton Terriers are pleased to announce that two more of their graduating players will be headed to the collegiate ranks after the most successful season in the history of the franchise has naturally led to interested college teams adding as many graduating Terriers talents to their rosters as possible.

Moosomin product Devon McMullen and Balgonie native Tyler Giebel will be joining former Terrier teammates from the 2012-13

season John Neibrandt and Austin Bourhis with the University of Regina Cougars of the CIS when they start their collegiate hockey careers, reuniting with two key blueliners from their 2012 SJHL Championship winning team when the Cougars return to CIS hockey with plenty of former Terriers league champions on their roster.

McMullen, the captain of the Terriers for the past two seasons and a player who played in three SJHL Finals, winning two along with his National Championship this season, will go down as

one of the greatest captains in Yorkton franchise history as well as one of the best blueline players in the history of the SJHL. Playing 300 games, McMullen scored 25 goals as a offensive defenceman who had a knack for finding big goals during his career with the Dogs. In addition to 25 goals McMullen compiled 75 assists to finish with 100 points for his career that spanned an impressive 300 games in the Junior A ranks.

Perhaps most impressive was McMullen’s sterling record in the postseason, playing in

a the 2011, 2013, and 2014 league finals in a postseason SJHL career that went 51 games without including his two Western Canada Cup tournament appearances in addition to the 2014 Royal Bank Cup. Finishing his career with three championships in 2014 in addition to his back to back SJHL titles, McMullen will be heading to Regina with an extremely impressive Junior resume while also joining former teammates that he will be extremely comfortable playing with in Bourhis and Neibrandt should one of the two

GIEBEL AND MCMULLEN JOIN UNIVERSITY OF REGINA - Forward Tyler Giebel takes a faceoff during a SJHL Playoff game with the Humboldt Broncos while Devon McMullen (#4) mans the blueline. Both will be headed to the University this fall to continue their playing careers after Junior hockey.

pair up with the undersized and speedy McMullen on a Cougars defence pairing next season.

Giebel played in just over 180 games as a Terrier, scoring 76 goals and 85 assists for 161 points as a productive forward for Yorkton during his stays with the team that were mixed between plenty of stints in the WHL whenever teams needed a quick scoring punch. Giebel played 66 games in the Western Hockey league with the Everett Silvertips, Red Deer Rebels and Saskatoon Blades, scoring six WHL goals while also playing in three WHL Playoff games with the Silvertips as a youngster.

While Giebel didn’t

catch on in the Western league, his Junior A career was equally as successful as McMullen’s as a member of both the 2013 champions as well as the National Championship winning Terriers squad this spring.

Both players will join a long list of Terriers entering the CIS as well as the Norrish twins Brady and Chase who will be playing NCAA D-I hockey with the RIT Tigers next season.

McMullen, Giebel, Bourhis and Neibrandt will also have a former teammate in the Regina-Saskatoon collegiate hockey rivalry as forward Tayler Thompson will be playing with the University of Saskatoon next year.

York Road/Dracup Intersection Closure Reconstruction starts July 29th; closure expected for up to four weeks.

Several projects to improve Yorkton’s streets, water, sewer and storm systems will soon be underway in the City. This means a number of road closures and detours throughout the summer and fall to enable these necessary upgrades to our infrastructure.

The first project will begin July 29th at the York Road and Dracup Avenue intersection, where some of the city’s oldest storm and sewer infrastructure is located. This intersection will be closed for up to four weeks. Signage will divert traffic along Highway 9 to Queen Street.

From Queen Street the detour will be to Highway 10 north, then west on Highway 52 to the 52A Connector Route north to Highway 16.

Also, there will soon be construction along Dracup Avenue and Darlington Street, and later in the summer at the Hamilton Road/Highway 9 intersection. We ask residents to please watch for further notices, obey all signage and be safe in construction zones.

YBID NEWS A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District

This past week saw a very interesting exercise take place within the YBID.

The Mayors Business Walk!

Facebook: Vape Shack

To the memory of everyone that was spoken to, there has never been visits to such a degree as took place during this past week of morning walks by Mayor Bob Maloney and some members of council.

The event was the brain child of the Yorkton Chamber who thankfully invited members of the YBID to join in.

It was a great exercise asking questions one on one with several business owners. “Why do you do business in Yorkton, do you have any issues with the City, Chamber of Commerce or Yorkton Business Improvement District?”

has relocated to 60 - 5th Ave. N. Yorkton

306.782.0417 To our surprise of the 20 or so businesses that were visited most of the comments were very positive, business is good and Yorkton is a great place to live, raise a family and of course do Business.

If there was an issue it was downtown parking. The issue is that some want meters, most don’t want any, some want to change the streets to one way, some want angle parking, others want angle parking on only one side. There are as many suggestions to solve parking issues as there are cars. The one real common solution is that all downtown business people should make their staff park in city parking lots. One business actually purchases an annual parking pass for $50. for her staff.

That works out to less than .20 cents per day . . . so give it some thought and allow room for our customers to park on the street.

Thanks to the Chamber for the idea and bringing YBID along, it’s a great relationship we have. And a special thank you to Mayor Bob Maloney, Councillor Randy Goulden and Councillor Larry Pearen, without your presence this would not have been as successful.

Have a great week!
