SPRA conference connects province’s cities

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Leisure professionals from across Saskatchewan converged on Yorkton to meet and discuss issues surrounding their industry at the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association Conference.

The goal was to have a weekend where people could learn, both professionally and personally, but also have fun doing it, explains Darcy McLeod, with the organizing committee. The guest speakers and sessions at the meeting were designed with that goal.

John Firnesz, Program Manager for Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation, says that the weekend is meant as a training opportunity for members and a networking opportunity.

“I think there are a lot of similarities across communities in terms of the challenges they may

have. The challenges are also opportunities, and I think a lot of communities capitalize on those opportunities. It’s safe to say some communities have more resources, whether that’s money or staff or volunteers, but everybody is in it for the rec business, and increasing the quality of life.”

Communities working together was also one of the main things that McLeod says that the city of Yorkton wants as a focus coming out of the conference. Sessions were focused around municipalities and having contacts among different cities, and McLeod says the ability to work with other communities in the province is one of the valuable things coming out of the weekend.

The weekend also featured the SPRA awards, which recognized communities, employees and volunteers in the Parks and Recreation sector for their work in the past

year. McLeod says that it’s important to recognize what makes the recreation services work in towns and cities.

“We all have operators like the ones who got awards, but we never recognize them, it’s important to recognize them when you can. Same with the volunteers, in every community volunteers are a huge part of providing recreation services.

The city is not the only provider, all the non-profit organizations, that’s what they do as well, we are also about supporting them. Some of the stuff we learned today will be about better supporting those organizations.”

Firnesz also praises the host committee for the work they did on the weekend conference, saying that the city of Yorkton brings “its own flair” to the event, and that it met the high expectations that delegates had for the conference.

DR. JACQUELYN ONCESCU speaks at the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association Conference about the challenges of connecting people with the recreation services and programs in their communities.

Adam Fetsch wins Volunteer of the Year

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association’s annual awards recognize the best in the province, whether it’s community projects, employees within the sector or volunteers who help make things happen. This year, Yorkton’s Adam Fetsch won the Volunteer of the Year award for his work with different organizations and events around the community.

Fetsch says that he didn’t expect to be recognized, but that he’s honoured to receive a pat on the back.

“It’s a lot of work, but I don’t mind doing it for the kids. I have nine of my own, so I know that what I do for them benefits everybody else.”

One of the inspirations behind Fetsch’s active volunteer work is his wife, Jeanne. He describes her as his “soul and inspiration,” and says that her work ethic is what inspires him to volunteer and get involved in different programs and work hard for the community.

“My wife when I married her, she was one of 15 children. We have nine children, which is unusually large, but they had 15 children, they had 83 foster children beside that. When you add up the numbers, with mom and dad beside that they had 100 in one home. The day we got married, I was an uncle to 33 instantly...

You talk about a work ethic, when you have the two mules working together it makes it a lot easier. I see her do it and I can do it too.”

She was also one of the main reasons why Fetsch got involved in soccer as well, he says.

She was on the national team in 1986 and Fetsch says he quickly learned

about the sport and the benefits it could have for kids, both his own and other kids in the area.

“I knew nothing about soccer, but marrying someone like this I caught on right away.”

The Fetsch family is also heavily involved in Ukrainian dance, having started the dance festival fifteen years ago. It brings in approximately 5,000 people every year, and Fetsch says it has been a really exciting experience.

“And we’re not Ukrainian, it’s just that when you’re in Rome, you do as the Romans do, so

to speak.”

He says that it’s great to see the benefits to the kids, whether that means the benefits of keeping active or meeting a wide circle of friends through the programs. He’s also proud to see his kids dance on the national stage, for example.

Darcy McLeod, Director of Community Development, Parks and Recreation for the City of Yorkton, says that they nominated Fetsch because he’s involved in so many different different programs, and they wanted to recognize someone who was

involved in many different programs.

“There are many deserving volunteers in the community... We wanted to nominate somebody that had involvement in everything.”

PAINTED HAND DONATES – The Painted Hand Casino has made a major contribution to the Health Foundation’s CT Scan campaign, donating $10,000 to the project, bringing it one step closer to completion. Charles Ryder, General Manager of the Painted Hand Casino (left) says that their goal is to support and give back to the community, and contributing to a health care project is something that will benefit everyone in the area. “Everybody has to go through the positives and negatives of health care, and the equipment we’re buying is substantial.” Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, says that with the Painted Hand’s donation, they are now at $426,000, out of a goal of $600,000, with the goal of ordering the equipment by November to put it in place for January.

Saskatchewan landscape inspires artists

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Two Saskatchewan artists have been inspired by the landscape that surrounds them, and are touring the province together with their new novel and album. Lisa Guenther, with her new novel Friendly Fire, and Carmen Loncar, who performs as Best Kept Secret Girlfriend, were at the Yorkton Public Library to perform and discuss their work.

The novel Friendly Fire is set in Guenther’s home town, in the Bright Sand Lake and Turtle Lake area. The novel begins with the protagonist, Darby, discovering that her aunt has been murdered.

“The rest of the novel is about her unraveling that, and dealing with the consequences. It’s really about violence against women, the theme of the

book, but there’s a lot of agricultural references as well, drought, forest fire and that kind of thing.”

While completely fiction, Guenther says that the plot started coming together when told about a real life incident in her home town.

“Years and years ago, one of my bosses told me about a near drowning, a near miss. It inspired the thought that something tragic could happen at that lake... Sometimes there’s that idea that nothing happens in small towns, or that they’re really safe. It’s not that they’re more dangerous than the cities, I don’t think that they’re any safer.”

The decision to tour together came because their work fits together well. Guenther says that there are similar themes, environments and moods between the music and the novel. She says that it

was easy to fit the two together when putting a performance together “It works really well because we have common themes in our work. My main character in my novel is also a musician, so it’s a nice, integrated performance,” Guenther says.

“We take a lot of inspiration from the same things, then what you put out is very much influenced by that,” Loncar adds.

Part of that similar inspiration is a love of the land of the province and the people who work it, something both women says comes through in their art.

“I have a song about flax... It’s really about the relationship to the land and people’s relationships within that, and how that lifestyle affects who you are, the kind of relationships we have and the kind of art we make,”

Loncar says.

It has been a worthwhile tour, they say, and they believe that having a mix of music and literature has been a way to reach people they might not otherwise connect with. It has also been a tour with little in the way

of drama.

“The only thing we argue about on this tour is identifying trees,” Guenther says.

Their work can be found online at lisaguenther.com and bestkeptsecretgirlfriend.bandcamp. com.

Ken Lavigne travels the Road to Carnegie Hall

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The road to Carnegie Hall is a hard one, but it was one Ken Lavigne was determined to travel. The classical crossover artist will tell the story of that journey with The Road to Carnegie Hall, his touring show which will be in Yorkton on November 8, as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series.

The show is a bit of autobiography, telling the story of how Lavigne went about self-presenting a show at Carnegie Hall. He says that he swore to himself that he would one day perform at the venue after being able to attend a show as a student.

“It started out as a dream that became a challenge. I can’t imagine any performer who would not want to perform at one of the world’s greatest concert halls.”

Lavigne admits that his quest to self-present at Carnegie hall was incredibly naive, and while he was in the music industry for a while at that point, he wasn’t completely

aware of exactly what he was getting himself into.

“No one does it! And I found out why, because it’s not easy, if

it were easy everyone would do it! I think there’s something wonderful about naivety, and thinking maybe we can make this happen,

KEN LAVIGNE will be travelling down the Road to Carnegie Hall again in Yorkton on November 8. The former member of the Canadian Tenors is performing his autobiographical show about his quest to play at the storied concert venue, with a wide range of music and stories about that journey.

and not really understanding how tremendously difficult all those challenges are actually liberates you from not initiating and following through on a project.”

Part of Lavigne’s goal is to engage the audience, and he wants to tell a story and tell them a bit about the person on stage singing to them.

“That’s what this show is about, following through on dreams and making them happen. There’s never a direct, linear line, there are always missed opportunities and blind alleys, but I think that generally if you’re passionate about a project, all those obstacles you’ll encounter you’ll find a way around.”

Lavigne draws from a wide range of sources, and says that it’s about learning from audiences what they appreciate and want to here. He says that the tenor is the “rock star” of the classic world,

and it’s a kind of tight rope walk, as hitting some of the high notes are on the edge of human ability.

“In that intimate setting, you really get that visceral vocal experience of what a classically trained tenor can do.”

Travelling with a small ensemble, Lavigne says that he enjoys a small group because it means things can happen in each show that are a little different, and their goal is to be consistent, but change a little each performance.

“You have this lightweight, flexible vehicle to express your music.

Things can change and be absolutely beautiful.”

Lavigne says he’s excited about going on tour across Saskatchewan, and says the chance to travel to places he hasn’t been before is exciting for him, and he wants to meet new people across the area.

“In small towns, I often have the best reactions and the best time, because people are genuine. They’re genuine in their reactions to what it is that you’re presenting, and they’re happy to see you, which is nice for a musician. Sometimes you can roll into town and look into an audience and see nothing but crossed arms and frowning faces.”

He also can’t stop dreaming big, and he has set his sights on the Sydney Opera House for his next big performance, something he admits has been even more difficult than Carnegie Hall, especially since he has to arrange it with people on the other side of the world.

Ken Lavigne will be in Yorkton as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series on November 8 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Welcome Home Gifts or yorktonarts.ca.

New program for youth – BASF Canada and Earth Rangers have expanded BASF Kids’ Lab, a series of hands-on chemistry workshops developed

by BASF for students in grades 4 through 6, to rural schools across Canada. Since 2013, the program has reached more than 2,500 students in Canada and has expanded into additional communities with an agriculture-focused workshop.

From October to December 2015, the program will engage students in 30 Canadian classrooms, at no cost to the schools or participants. The 45-minute session, entitled “We Dig Soil,” will include an “earth as an apple” demonstration to illustrate the amount of land available for agriculture, as well as a fun hands-on activity to illustrate how soil acts as a filter. Participants will also take home a BASF backpack including safety goggles, an apron and a farming activity placemat.

“Earth Rangers educates children on the importance of maintaining healthy environments where they live. Rural communities have a strong connection to agriculture, so delivering BASF Kids’ Lab to these students provides an excellent opportunity to educate children about the science behind agriculture and the important role it plays in our natural world,” said Peter Kendall, Executive Director, Earth Rangers.

Established at BASF’s global headquarters in Germany in 1997, Kids’ Lab invites children to explore the world of chemistry through safe and fun experiments designed to foster an interest in science-related hobbies and, eventually, explore its career possibilities. Over the years, the program has been delivered successfully in more than 16 countries worldwide.

“Since bringing the program to Canada, we’ve received very positive feedback from both students and educators,” said Ron Kehler, Business Director, BASF Canada.

“Programs like Kids’ Lab are important to the agriculture industry as they help children connect how food is produced on the farm for us to eat at home. This year we’ve invited growers to attend some of the labs to help grow that connection.”

Local support always strong

Another Health Foundation Gala has passed and there is another $35,000 or so is in the kitty toward a new CT Scanner.

We all pay plenty of taxes, income, consumer and property. Governments in turn spend that cash, which amounts to billions of dollars, on facilities, infrastructure services and amenities.

Even a small city such as Yorkton is a huge collection of these things, so it is easy to take for granted sometimes just how much we have as a community, that has not been provided entirely by government.

Just a very quick mental survey of things that have happened in the recent past illuminates the richness of the community effort to make this city a better place.

Without fundraising by organizations and individuals--some paid, but mostly volunteer-we would not have the new Community Clubhouse, the resident bus for Yorkton and District Nursing Home, the wheelchair-accessible playground at Weinmaster Park, the offleash dog park, the SIGN Senior Mobility Car. And we would not be getting closer everyday to that new CT Scanner.

And that is hardly a comprehensive list, or even touches the surface, for that matter.

Then there are all the businesses that step up. They, along with all the community organizations are far too numerous to list in this small editorial space, but suffice it to say, Yorkton is what it is because of a true community effort dating back to its very inception.

And so, we turn our sight on the next thing, which is the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Campaign that starts this weekend.

Every year, the Legion supports many worthy local causes through poppy and wreath sales.

We all do, by donating and wearing our poppies with pride leading up to Remembrance Day, November 11.

It is a solemn time to remember the more than 117,000 Canadians who have died in military service to our country.

It is a good time also to reflect on what that has meant to this place both in the past and moving forward.

When you buy your poppy this year, give as generously as you can; we are all in it together for the betterment of the community.

Why would Wall want Conservative leadership?

With the need for a new Conservative leader, there has been a search across the country for someone who could spend the next four years rebuilding the party and making it relevant again. Of the many candidates, some eyes have fallen on Saskatchewan’s own premier, Brad Wall.

It’s easy to understand why he’s garnered attention. He’s well liked and accessible – words that have never really applied to Stephen Harper – he’s leading a relatively conservative government – though it is definitely not on the far right, just more on the right than the province’s main alternative – and he’s made a name for himself with the province’s relative economic strength.

He’s also the one that finally pushed his party into power eight years ago. More recently, spent most of the recent election campaign trying to get Saskatchewan issues on the public stage. In theory, he would make a good choice for a Conservative leader.

Then again, why would he want to?

This is not to say he can’t, someone like Wall would be what the party needs. The current Conservative party has turned into an insular, paranoid entity off in its own little corner of the political spectrum. Wall’s style could serve to pull

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger the party out of this corner and back into relevance. But, where is the incentive for the man himself? He would have to significantly change party culture as a part of the rebuild process, and drag it kicking and screaming back to reality, a nearly impossible task.

There’s also his own party to worry about. The Saskatchewan Party is not in crisis like the federal Conservatives, but there are two things happening. One, it’s about to go for its own four year mandate in a few months. It’s too late to select a new leader before that, if he wins immediately going off to Ottawa would anger voters, and if he loses it would be going into the leadership contest on a down note. It’s awful timing for such a campaign.

Two, a lot of the old guard of the party is entering

retirement, people like Ken Krawetz and June Draude, people who have been there since it was founded. It’s not a sign of crisis, but it does mean there has to be a bit of consistency as the party gains new members and continues to evolve.

Wall also seems to cherish his role as a “regular guy,” which is at odds with being at the federal level. He likes that he’s the kind of leader who still buys his own groceries – it has been mentioned in speeches and reflected in reality, as he followed my brother across Swift Current buying food – and seems like he would do poorly as someone who would require a security detail. This philosophy would be great for the federal Conservatives, of course, because one of the party’s primary problems is that it is closed off and insular, an open and accessible leader is definitely required to rebuild. But it’s still, by necessity, a sphere of politics that requires less accessibility than Wall would like.

The Conservatives would be wise to get a Brad Wall in charge, because it needs someone that can engage the population. But I would doubt that it can convince the actual Brad Wall to throw his hat into the ring. He’s got a good thing going as the Premier of Saskatchewan, and it’s a role better suited for his personality than federal politics.

Is a better deal for Generation Squeeze possible under Trudeau?

Tax changes a mixed bag for taxpayers

Is a better deal for Generation Squeeze possible under Trudeau?

As a member of Generation Squeeze, Justin Trudeau represents a new generation of Canadian leaders

By Paul Kershaw Founder Generation Squeeze

VANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ - Aged 43 and father of young children, Prime Ministerdesignated Justin Trudeau represents a new generation of Canadian leaders: he is a member of Generation Squeeze.

Canadians in our 20s, 30s, 40s, and the children we parent, are squeezed on average by lower full-time incomes, higher housing costs, less time and a deteriorating environment compared to 1976 when the Baby Boomers came of age as young adults.

While Trudeau has personally escaped much of this financial squeeze, it is still exciting to imagine what potential his perspective brings to the job of Prime Minister in the pursuit of a better generational deal, one that works for all Canadians.

As Trudeau repeated so often throughout the campaign, “In Canada, BETTER is always possible.”

In pursuit of BETTER, Trudeau should be commended for his emphasis on bringing Canadians together. Previous gov-

ernment budgets divided generations, pitting investments in the aging population at the expense of investing in younger Canadians. At Generation Squeeze - a national, non-partisan, science-based lobby for citizens, not shareholders - we know a better generational deal means uniting generations. To this end, we will work with newly elected MPs in all parties to make intergenerational solidarity and fairness a priority in future budgets.

For this work, we will draw on our comprehensive study of the federal election platforms. By its own numbers, the Liberal platform would: increase spending on retirees more than any other national party, while providing less money for postsecondary and child care than did the NDP and Greens; and offering fewer details about pricing pollution than did the other opposition platforms.

Liberal MPs and policy advisors would do well to revisit these details in the Liberal platform before finalizing the 2016 federal budget.

At the same time, the Liberal platform was relatively strong at containing medical care spending by comparison with the NDP platform.

This, in turn, left fiscal room for the Liberals to propose more new spending for families with children than any other

party, which included the Liberal platform borrowing ideas from the Generation Squeeze vision of a New Deal for Families: (i) extending parental leave to 18 months per household, (ii) offering new opportunities for flextime and (iii) investing in child care services. The Liberals also adopted several elements of our vision for a better housing policy. These commitments should make their way into the next federal budget.

The Liberals campaigned on a commitment to review wasteful tax expenditures.

This review is timely, and could help the party strengthen assets in their election platform.

In a ground breaking study of how the 2015 federal budget breaks down by age, Generation Squeeze identified a wide range of tax expenditures. Many of these are outdated, inefficient, and cost billions of dollars. These funds could be reallocated to pay for policy adaptations to ease the time, money, service and environmental pressures that squeeze younger generations while not touching the budgets for medical care and old age security on which the aging population is counting.

In support of government budgets that work for all generations, Generation Squeeze urged parties during the election to commit to reporting the age

distribution of government spending and revenue collection. We are therefore heartened that the Liberals promised to make “Statistics Canada fully independent” and to “work with . . . other stakeholders to provide a broader range of information.” By annually reporting age breakdowns, the federal government could create a new society-wide opportunity to assess whether our country is finding the right balance between our investments in young and old; finding the right balance between investing in earlier and later life stages for each citizen; and finding the right balance between investing in the things that make us healthy and productive, as compared to spending more later on when we fall ill or struggle economically.

This assessment is badly needed, because research shows that the federal government currently spends $20,868 per person age 65+, $7,185 per person age 45 to 64, and $4,349 per person under age 45.

It is time for a better generational deal.

Thankfully, BETTER is always possible in Canada. So says our new Prime Minister.

Voter turnout applauded To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the successful delivery of the 42nd general election.

Once again, Canadians were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacrifices to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following

the close of the polls.

I am overwhelmed by the exceptional professionalism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated in serving Canadian electors, often in very challenging circumstances.

Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years.

There was a remarkable level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances

resulted in wait times at both the advance polls and on election day. Our election workers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in communities across our great land – for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Canadians working hard to make it possible for their fellow Canadians to choose the elected officials who will represent them in the House of Commons.

There will be time in the coming weeks and months to review

our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections. For now, our dedicated election workers should take great pride in their accomplishments and important contributions to our society. I know that all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democracy.

Marc Mayrand Chief Electoral Officer of Canada

Green Party thanks supporters

To the Editor:

A huge “Thank You!” to everyone in the Yorkton-Melville Riding who voted for the Green Party of Canada on Election Day. We con-

tinue to build a solid base of Green Party supporters across Canada who believe in putting people BEFORE profits and we look forward to the day when Canadians can choose their

Members of Parliament under a Proportional Representation voting system. If that system had been in place on October 19, 2015, the seat count in the House of Commons

would be: Liberals: 135, Conservatives: 109, New Democratic Party: 68, Green Party of Canada: 11 (instead of 1), Bloc: 15.

Elaine Hughes Archerwill, SK

To the Editor: Canadians have chosen a change in government for the first time in a decade. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals sailed to a majority government in last Monday’s election on a message of change. So what will this “change” mean for Canadians’ pocketbooks? A look at the Liberal election platform tells us it’s a mixed bag.

Start with the good news. The Liberals have promised to cut the middle income tax rate, for those making $44,000 to $89,000 a year, from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent. This is a welcome move, and something the Harper government repeatedly took a pass on in favour of countless boutique tax credits. They’ve also pledged to reduce the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent, which will provide some relief to small businesses struggling in uncertain economic times.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot more to be concerned about on the bad side of the tax ledger.

The Liberal platform contains a litany of tax hikes – some obvious, and some less so.

First off there’s the pledge to add in a new 33 per cent income tax bracket on those earning over $200,000 a year. While it might be true that the wealthy are not always the easiest bunch to feel sorry for, punishing success and wealth creation is a bad signal to send to our entrepreneurs and other highly skilled workers. There’s also the proposed cancellation of income splitting, which benefits thousands of Canadians families, and treats households more equally, based on their total income, and not whether one or two parents is doing the breadwinning.

The Liberals have promised to roll back the limit on Tax Free Savings Accounts. TFSAs are an extremely popular investment vehicle for Canadians (there are over 11 million of them).

Lowering the investment limit could have negative impacts for millions of Canadians, especially older Canadians who have been using them to maximize retirement savings. Meanwhile, vague promises about “enhancing” the Canada Pension Plan could mean even smaller paychecks for workers – not to mention a payroll tax on employers.

But worst of all for taxpayers are the countless promises to spend. Actually, we can count it: $150 billion over four years. True, some of it will be paid for by cancelling other programs. But there’s still a considerable hole in the numbers, to the tune of $10 billion a year for the first three years, after which we’re told the budget will – according to the Liberal platform – balance itself (Ontarians in particular may be familiar will this magical plan to balance the books).

Why is this bad for taxpayers? Because running deficits means more debt. And more debt means more tax dollars wasted on interest payments rather than actual programs and services. This leaves cash-strapped governments desperate to find more money, which they inevitably do by raising taxes.

In fact, this describes exactly what is happening today. Because of the chronic deficits of the past – ironically, a trend started by none other than Pierre Trudeau – we now have $612 billion in federal debt. This debt cost taxpayers $26 billion in interest payments last year – nearly the same amount raised by the GST. If we had no federal debt, that money would easily pay for all the promises in the Liberal plan, with lots left over for tax cuts. But the reckless spending of the past have robbed us of that choice.

Justin Trudeau still has an opportunity to learn from his fathers’ mistakes, rather than repeat them. If he does the latter, taxpayers will pay a high price.

Five quick tips to get your home winter ready

(NC) — If boots, a warm hat and a tunedup snow blower are the only items on your winter preparation list, your home maintenance plan may need a makeover. These simple home maintenance projects can help to lower your energy bills, avoid more costly repairs and/ or increase the lifespan of your home: 1.

Heating & Ventilation - Examine your fireplace and chimney system to ensure that no soot or creosote has collected. Any cracks or voids present could potentially cause a fire. Before you turn the furnace or boiler on, replace the air filter and hire a professional

to inspect the unit more thoroughly. These steps will improve the efficiency and life of your furnace and will ensure stable indoor air quality.

2. Windows and Doors - If not properly sealed, windows and doors can be a major culprit for heat loss. To keep the warm air inside, inspect the weather-stripping for leaks, rot, or decay.

Repair or replace structural framing, and caulk inside and out, if necessary.

3. Insulation - One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation.

Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of

heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product with high thermal performance. For this, retailers tell us that Roxul Comfortbatt

5. Roof and Gutters - Inspect your roof for shingles that are warped, damaged, or even missing to prevent a future leak. Use roofing cement and a caulking gun to seal joints where water could penetrate around the chimney, any skylights, or vent pipes.

Make sure that your gutters and downspouts are securely fastened.

Downspouts should extend at least five feet away from the home to prevent flooding.

When it comes to preventative maintenance, a little time and effort can save thousands of dollars in energy costs and repair bills over the lifetime of your home.

ciency as soon as it’s in place and provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R50 or a depth of 16 inches (41 cm).

4. Backyard Care Save your property from potential damage by trimming overgrown trees and shrubs to prevent ice-laden branches from thrashing against electrical wires and your home’s exterior. Drain/shut off any exterior faucets and sprinkler systems to prevent freezing.

Ensure rain or snow drains away from the house to avoid foundation problems.

stone wool insulation is a top seller, and it makes installation simple. All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place.

The insulation will help improve energy effi-

Tips for designing a home gym

There are many reasons why people don’t get to exercise at a gym on a regular basis. The parents of young children, shift workers and people who live far from urban areas aren’t often found in fitness centres.

Other people don’t like the atmosphere of these places, which is sometimes very competitive, or they feel uncomfortable about exercising in public. For all these reasons, a home gym is an excellent option for anyone who wants to

keep fit.

Buying your equipment It is possible to create a home gym without it costing you an arm and a leg. Retailers offer a wide range of bodybuilding and cardiovascular exercise machines for all budgets. A less expensive option is to buy used equipment.

You’ll find a wide range of options in the classified ads section of your local newspaper or through an online classifieds website.

Plan and decorate

All too often, people set up a personal training space without giving it much thought. They randomly pile exercise machines and accessories into the basement and then over the following weeks or months, they feel guilty because they’re using them less and less often.

To stay motivated and exercise on a regular basis, attractive surroundings are a must. Get started by looking for inspiration from pictures of private

gyms found in decorating magazines and on the Internet. Paint the walls in bright colours and hang some mirrors.

Let your creativity run wild by putting up wall murals or wallpaper with original patterns.

Another great idea is to install a chalkboard on which you can write your results and a few words of encouragement.

A home gym you enjoy using will motivate you to train more often.

Soup Haven’s mission to help feed kids

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer There are hungry kids in Yorkton, and since 1998 the Soup Haven has long made it its goal to make sure that they can be properly fed in school.

Marilyn Dyck, Program Director and LeeAnne Leister, Assistant Director have taken over after the retirement of Kathy Connors. Dyck says that their goal is to bring a larger presence for the organization in the community.

There are two hundred lunches provided a day by the Soup Haven, divided between 130 bag lunches, as well as a hot lunch program in two schools which the Soup Haven helps provide.

Every school in the city is served by the Soup Haven, in both the Good Spirit and Christ the Teacher School Divisions.

“We go through the school system, so we don’t pick and choose who gets a lunch. The teachers and principals do, they see who is in need of a lunch... We don’t want parents thinking it is a free lunch, it is a need, not a want.”

With 200 lunches a day, it’s clear there is a major need for the Soup Haven in the city.

“There are a lot of grandparents looking after children, single parents looking after children, and groceries are getting expensive, we all see that... There is a need out there.”

The fall is a busy time,

THE SOUP HAVEN is busy preparing lunches for all the students in the Yorkton schools. Marilyn Dyck, program director and LeeAnn Leister, assistant director, show some of the lunches they prepare each week.

as they prepare for the Christmas season and their Christmas hamper program. Dyck says that there will be an FCC food drive for that program, but that there is always a need for food for their regular programs.

“Right now, our shelves are bare.”

Every ounce of food that the Soup Haven receives, they use, Dyck says, though it must be nut-free because area schools have gone nut free as part of a response to nut allergies increasing among students. One thing they need most of all is fruit cups. Dyck explains that they work as a kind of emergency supply, while the Soup Haven prefers to put fresh fruit in every lunch, if for some reason they run out or have an increased number of lunches go out, the fruit cups work as a way to ensure kids still get fruit no matter what.

“The less we have to buy, the better it is.”

There has been one major change for the Soup Haven, and that’s the location of the monthly meals. Those will now be hosted at the Dream Centre at 244 Myrtle Ave, a decision made in order to get a more central location and better meet the needs of the people they serve, Dyck explains. This will not change the day to day operations of the Soup Haven, which will continue to be based out of the Alliance Church on

Allanbrooke.

“A lot of our clients are in that area, so we approached Dream Centre and they were very on excited to come on board and help us.

They provide the facility, we continue to have volunteers – this month is St. Paul’s Lutheran church that will prepare the meal – and everybody is excited about it.

It’s a bigger area and core downtown, which is really wonderful.”

The group is always looking for partnerships to help with programming. Dyck notes that they work with the Abilities Council when it comes to packing lunches, as well as FCC’s food drive and Co-op which supplies bread weekly, which they emphasize

they are very grateful for.

If people want to get involved, whether volunteering, helping with the monthly meals, or donating, Dyck suggests coming down to see what they do and getting involved. People can contact them online, via their facebook page or they website www.thesouphaven.ca.

HYUNDAI HELPS – The Health Foundation’s CT Scan Campaign recently received a boost from Yorkton Hyundai, which donated $2,500 to the project. Ron Kaban, Dealer Principal (right) says that they want to be involved in the community, and this is a project that will help a large number of people. Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation (left), says that this means that they have raised $430,000, and have $170,000 to go.

Amateur astronomers walk among you

Those who do not regularly star gaze are not sure what to make of those who do. I assure you, we are quite normal (more or less), and there are more of us than you think. I found out how many early when I joined the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada back in the 70s. The RASC has roots back to 1868, but has been ‘Royal’ since 1903. It’s a national, non-profit charitable organization with over 5,000 members consisting of “amateurs, educators and professionals.” Anyone can join.

Many would wonder why someone would ever want to take up a hobby where most of your time is spent in the cold and dark, trying not to freeze one’s eyeball to a metal tube, while rational people are warm and sleeping.

Mental illness aside, there is no simple answer.

It usually begins with a fascination with the Earth’s neighbourhood; the fact that we are drifting about on a small blue ball amid many much larger and far stranger things.

However, astronomy is one of the few sciences

The Universe from your own back yard

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. where the line between amateurs and professionals has become very blurred. The pros may have the expensive tools, but they are few and can’t compete with the sheer numbers of well-equipped, knowledgeable amateurs.

Recognizing each other’s strengths,

pros and amateurs regularly cooperate on research projects.

Amateur astronomers contribute the vast majority of scientific data regarding the changes of star brightnesses, and are involved in projects to calculate orbits of stars in multiple star sys-

tems and searching for planets around other stars. Amateurs are often the first to report the stellar explosions known as supernovae.

In August of 2001, Regina computer consultant Vance Petriew discovered a comet that now carries his name.

Asteroid 4143 Huziak was named as an acknowledgement of my Saskatoon-based younger brother’s years of contributions to the field of astronomy.

Collacott Subdivision on the western edge of Yorkton is home to one of a network of University of

Saskatchewan fireball cameras designed to track shooting stars and help locate fallen meteorites. The current President of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada lives in Melville.

We’re everywhere.

Amateur astronomy is carried out by people with other jobs and other lives who have a common interest in a science that encourages both serious research and just looking around. The beauty of it is that whatever your choice, you need go only as far as your own back yard.

Celebrating a tradition of excellence in skilled trades The best of the best new journeypersons will be recognized for achieving the top marks in their skilled trades at the 2015 Apprenticeship Awards in Regina tonight – a gala event hosted by the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission.

Besides the top 35 journeypersons, recognition will also be awarded in a number of other categories, such as: the top journeyperson across all trades, the top Aboriginal journey-

person, the top female in a traditionally male trade, outstanding trade board, and gold medals winners of the Skills Canada Saskatchewan Competition.

In addition, the Artisan Award will be presented to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional contributions to the apprenticeship system.

Two new categories this year will also recognize the most outstanding instructor as nominated by this year’s journeypersons and the most

Outstanding Employer in both under and over 50 employees.

Eleven industry partners will also use the event to present scholarships and awards for industry achievements.

“The annual Apprenticeship Awards recognize the achievements of many skilled tradespersons and those who support them as they become journeypersons,” Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said.

“We congratulate all

newly certified journeypersons as they begin long, rewarding careers in Saskatchewan that will help keep our economy strong.”

“These gala awards pay tribute to those with outstanding achievement between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015,” SATCC Commission Board Chair Garry Kot said.

“They are the cream of the crop out of the 1,837 journeypersons certificates issued last year.”

Key statistics for 2014-15 include:

•97 per cent of employers surveyed are either satisfied or very satisfied with their apprentice; •2,788 employers registered apprentices; •9,953 registered apprentices, of which 3,014 were newly registered; •6,701 apprentices received technical training – a 99 per cent fill rate; •3,843 Saskatchewan Youth Apprentices were registered; and •104 graduates of Saskatchewan Youth

Apprenticeship achieved journeyperson status.

The SATCC manages the apprenticeship and certification system in Saskatchewan, helping skilled tradespeople make the journey from first year apprentice to certified journeyperson.

Photos will be available of all scholarship winners in attendance.

Saskatchewan sees 500 more doctors

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Saskatchewan has seen a significant increase in the number of doctors in the past five years.

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that there are 500 more physicians than there were in 2007.

Greg Ottenbreit, Minister of Rural and Remote Health, says that the increase is the result of different plans to address the shortfall paying off. Increased numbers of training seats, residency positions, and recruitment of international doctors through the SIPPA program are all credited for

the increased numbers of doctors practicing.

In terms of international doctors, Ottenbreit says that there used to be a limited number of countries available for recruitment, and the testing was based on a Manitoba model. The development of the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) and the SaskDocs recruitment program was intended to have a solution that made sense for this province. He says that it was designed to have a program which recruited doctors who would stay in the province and continue to practice here, especially in rural

areas.

“We knew we need a made in Saskatchewan approach to address that part of the plan...

When we had international grads previously, we found a very low retention rate because they weren’t used to the culture or whatever the cases were. Now we’re finding that they’re better prepared, they’re ready to go into practice when they go into rural areas specifically.”

Encouraging local graduates to take up practice in a rural area is also a priority, with incentives to get recent graduates to serve in under-served areas in the province. He also says that residency posi-

tions in rural areas have been a priority as well, in order to convince doctors to move into those areas.

The increase in training seats has long been something mentioned by the government, but that training doesn’t happen overnight.

“We have a full cohort coming through the college now. When you look back five years when the program started, we’re starting to see a lot of doctors coming out,

going into residency positions and starting to finish up. The investment we’ve put into the colleges and increases in funding are paying off.”

More doctors doesn’t necessarily mean enough doctors, Ottenbreit admits, so they will continue to take steps for recruitment.

“We do realize that there’s a lot more to do, we realize that there are a lot of positions still open in rural

Saskatchewan so we’re continuing to focus on that.”

Doctors are not the only medical professionals, and Ottenbreit says that they are also focusing on filling nursing positions. A thousand RNs have been hired, up from their goal of 800 new nurses.

“They are the glue that holds these teams together, and we are having success bringing them to the areas where they are needed.”

Academic title worth a general read “Disengaged? Fixed Date, Democracy and Understanding the 2011 Manitoba Election”

By Andrea D. Rounce and Jared J. Wesley Published by University of Regina Press Review by Allison Kydd $39.95 ISBN 9780889773554 A book written primarily by academics for academics may not initially jump off the shelf. Then there are the realities of publishing date-sensitive material; contributors’ reasonable comments and assumptions can be out of date by time of publication.

Yet Disengaged?, a disassembling of a particular election, identifies important issues and has implications beyond the province of Manitoba in 2011. It also made fascinating reading while the country was in the midst of the 2015 federal election campaign.

prise” outcome of the election. According to Wesley, Manitobans aren’t in the habit of electing one party for more than three consecutive terms; yet in 2011, the NDs not only won a fourth term, but also increased their majority.

The Liberals – predictably, for Manitoba – only claimed one seat, but the

As suggested by the title, Andrea Rounce, Jared Wesley and nine other contributors focus on voter engagement, as democracy depends on an engaged electorate.

Insights about voter participation are also relevant outside Manitoba, and political science professor Wesley compares Manitoba voter trends with federal rates and those of other provinces.

He also provides some historical background.

Another rationale for this book is the “sur-

Infrastructure is teaming up with the RCMP and other agencies in an enforcement initiative to educate the public on the importance of slowing to 60 km/hr when passing Highway Transport Patrol Officers, RCMP, and other law enforcement workers, as well as fire trucks, ambulances, tow truck operators, highway construction workers and others working in the highway right-of-way.

“As a police officer who regularly works on Saskatchewan’s roadways, safety is always a concern,” RCMP Traffic Services Staff Sgt. Pete Garvey said.

“Partnerships such as this aren’t just about enforcement, but educating the public about the dangers emergency and other workers face daily doing their job. We all want to go home at night.”

The Highway Transport Patrol is a part of the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure consisting of uniformed traffic officers who primarily conduct on-road enforcement by stopping commercial vehicles and by operating vehicle inspection stations.

mentioning newspapers and television and radio stations most people – even Manitobans – have never heard of.

Though limited by the availability of experts and the information available to them, this study of the 2011 Manitoba election attempts to be comprehensive, and contribu-

tors have tackled their specific parts of it seriously. It is also commendable that with Disengaged, analysis of the electoral process and outcomes is brought into the public realm, not confined to political insiders alone.

If the lights are on, slow to 60 km/hr Every day, Highway Transport Patrol Officers, RCMP, emergency workers and others are working to make our highways safer. Too often these men and women face inattentive and speeding drivers, which needlessly increase the risk of their work. The law is simple: if the lights are on, slow to 60 km/hr.

“We ask that motorists drive attentively and obey speed laws so our traffic officers can do their jobs safely,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said.

“Patience and the simple act of reducing speed can literally save a life.”

“The roads were icy and I was conducting a vehicle inspection,” Highway Transport Patrol Officer Andrew Lindsay said.

“My lights were on and I didn’t see the oncoming vehicles. Had I taken a step back it would have been a very different story for my family that day.”

The vehicle drove by at 129 km/hr, which could have resulted in a $500 fine for the driver; however, it could have been much worse for the officer.

Irish Gardens – all worth visiting

Sara Williams Earlier this month, I returned from hosting a garden tour of Ireland.

We visited 17 Irish gardens, both public and private, ranging from landed estates of many acres to small urban holdings. More often than not, the owners themselves toured us around, telling us the history of their gardens (and the trials and triumphs encountered along the way) and later treated us to tea and scones - still warm from the oven. It’s not easy to make choices, but here are a few that really stood out.

Helen Dillon’s Garden (Dublin) is world famous and with good reason. Begun over forty years ago, and evolving over time, it is well designed, perfectly groomed and contains many rare and interesting plants. You are first greeted by a birch forest instead of a conventional front garden. Where there was once a rectangular lawn, a canal (inspired by a visit to the Alhambra in Spain) is now flanked by herbaceous borders (delphiniums were in their second bloom). It is best seen in its entirety from

the drawing room windows.

But wandering the paths, one b e c o m e s enthralled with the detail of the plants and the design. ( w w w. d i l l o n garden.com) The Bay G a r d e n (Wexford), begun in 1989 and privately owned, consists of a series of diverse gardens that invitingly meld into each other with ease and informality.

The Hot Border of gold, orange and red plants was dazzling in late September, while the aptly named Funereal Border is a unique assemblage of flowers and foliage of dark purple to almost black. A surprising number of these do well under prairie conditions: coral bells, annual kale, dahlias, caster bean, ninebark and barberry. Most impressive was the Grass Garden – enormous billowing masses of beige, grey, and brown amid the

largest Joe Pye weed clumps I’ve ever seen and contrasting with adjoining pink autumn sedums. The quiet informality of the sloped Woodland Garden was a fitting closure to our visit – sweeping beds of trees and shrubs underplanted with woodland perennials. (www.thebaygarden.com) Ballymaloe Garden (Cork) was even better than it had been in the mid-1990s when I first visited. It is both an ornamental and a working kitchen garden used

by the students of the Ballymaloe Cookery School that was founded

by Darina Allen in the early 1980s. There is an ornamental fruit garden with both unusual and familiar fruits; one acre of vegetables and herbs under plastic; a Villandry inspired Potager of diamond and square vegetable and herb beds enclosed by boxwood hedges and herringbone paths of old brick; a double perennial border leading to a Victorian shell house with walls and ceiling

encrusted with sea shells; a Celtic maze (in which our intrepid guide became lost!); and a wildflower meadow inhabited by a topiary dragon. ( h t t p : / / w w w. cookingisfun.ie/ gardens/our-gardens) Illnaculin, an island garden of 37 acres located in Bantry Bay, was the private domain of Annan Bryce and later bequeathed to Ireland. Designed

by Harold Peto, it was originally almost all barren rock. It took over one hundred labourers to move soil, blast rock, plant trees and construct walls and other features from 1911 to 1914. Today visitors are treated to Peto’s Italianate garden complete with a wisteria covered casita, pavilion and a rectangular pool surrounded by a venerable collection of bonsai, including a larch said to be three hundred years old. The newly renovated walled garden contains a long perennial border. And the tree-

and shrub-lined Happy Valley boasts a large collection of mushroomlike staddlestones, once used to elevate and protect hay from rodents. A bonus: access to the island is by small ferryboats that pass puppyfaced seals basking on the rocks. (http://www. garnishisland.com) Sara Williams is the author of the newly expanded and revised Creating the Prairie Xeriscape; Gardening, Naturally: A chemicalfree handbook for the Prairies; and the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo: A Photographic History.

Just home from hosting a garden tour of Ireland, Sara will be offering tours of England and Iceland (with cohost, Melanie Elliott) in 2016.

Province introduces new rules for municipalities

The Government of Saskatchewan today introduced a series of legislative amendments to improve conflict of interest rules for municipal governments.

“These legislative changes will not only provide clearer direction and guidance for elected officials but will strengthen measures to deter and deal with conflicts of interest at the local level,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said. “By working closely with our municipal partners, we are establishing a new era of transparency, accountability and openness for our municipal elected officials.”

The proposed amendments are based on the recommendations of Justice Ronald Barclay’s inquiry into the Rural Municipality of Sherwood No.159 in his final report, issued on December 30, 2014, regarding the proposed Wascana Village development near Regina.

The proposed changes address the key areas identified by the Barclay report to improve conflict of interest and ethical standards for municipal governments including:

Requiring more information from a member of council when declaring a conflict of interest situation.

Mandatory public disclosure statements for all elected officials on council detailing their financial interests and any employment and other involvement that may be seen to affect the member’s impartiality.

Mandatory adoption by all municipal councils of a code of ethics that includes a model code of ethics that will be developed in consultation with municipal partners.

Clearer definitions of what constitutes a conflict of interest, a private interest and the inappropriate use of office and influence consistent with provisions in place for Members of the Legislative Assembly.

The provincial ombudsman will be able to investigate alleged conflict of interest or code of ethics breaches at the municipal level including any breaches of council procedure/ administration.

“I want to congratulate our municipal partners including the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA),

the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) and New North in helping us develop this comprehensive package of reforms,” Reiter said.

“Ratepayers will be better served by municipal governments that have clear rules of conduct and ethical standards for elected officials.”

“SUMA supports accountability in municipal governance and transparency to protect the interests of local taxpayers, and these new conflict of interest rules reflect the collaboration with our partners at the province and at SARM,” SUMA President Debra Button said. “We look forward to the consultations on the upcoming regulations to ensure transparency and integrity standards for all orders of government.”

“Rural officials welcome this clarification

of conflict of interest,” SARM President Ray Orb said. “SARM is committed to improving and enhancing our ethical standards as our ratepayers expect nothing less.”

In addition to the above organizations, the Ministry of Government Relations consulted the Urban Municipal Administrators Asso-

“GRIEF SHARE.” Ken Lavigne The road to Carnegie Hall with Ken Lavigne: A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Sunday, November 8, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School.

Singer Ken Lavigne has charmed his way into the hearts of concert goers across North America with his sincere delivery of ballads, show tunes and classical crossover hits in the style of Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban.

Backed by his band, Ken takes his audience on a riveting and enchanting journey retelling his personal campaign to sing at the world famous Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Orchestra. It’s a unbelievable account of a man who, against all odds found a way to live out his dream of singing on the world’s most prestigious concert stage.

Told with spectacular songs and entertaining and hilarious stories Ken embodies the spirit of the underdog – audacity, tenacity, tragedy and ultimately … triumph. www.kenlavigne.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.
