HARVESTING FOR HEALTH – The canola crop comes off the field at the Health Foundation Farming for Health project. Three separate combines from each of the local dealers took off the crop, and the site was also used by BASF as a demonstration site, to demonstrate their HEAT product to assist with straight cutting canola.

Town hall discusses the state of health

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The province of Saskatchewan is the birthplace of medicare in Canada, but some people are concerned that privatization is beginning to creep back into healthcare. CUPE and the Council of Canadians are touring the province hosting town hall meetings to discuss privatization in Saskatchewan’s health system. Tria Donaldson with CUPE and Michael Butler, Health Care Campaigner with The Council of Canadians spoke at the event.

Donaldson says that one of the big issues facing Yorkton is the handling of hospital laundry services. Yorkton’s laundry plant has been shut down, and the contract has been given to an Alberta company K-BRO Linen Systems.

“I think a lot of people are concerned about the impact that privatization has on jobs, but also on quality. So, in Yorkton, where we’ve already had the laundry somewhat privatized, we’ve had concerns about the cleanliness of laundry, and it doesn’t come back folded and that kind of thing... I

think people are wondering what’s going on.”

Butler says that one of the other issues that the province is about to face is the introduction of private MRI clinics. He believes this is a mistake, pointing to attempts with a similar program in Nova Scotia and Alberta that are being walked back to strictly public MRIs after they saw an increase in wait times.

Butler also is a critic of the public-private partnership, or P3 model, for building facilities, saying that they see cost overruns and less reliable service.

Long-term care is also an issue that the duo focused on during the event. Butler says that people need to focus on the needs of seniors in the community, even though it’s a relatively difficult issue to bring to the forefront.

“We need to put ourselves in the place of our seniors and ask if this is the best we can do for them. I think it’s pretty clear that this isn’t.”

The tour is coming during the federal campaign, and the provincial campaign will begin early next year.

While Donaldson says that this

is largely focused on the province itself, as the province is largely responsible for healthcare, it’s still something that is relevant as people head to vote federally as well.

“I think it’s important that it’s an issue that is on people’s minds when heading into either election, federal or provincial.”

Donaldson says that the main goal is to have people talking about the state of healthcare in the province, both to friends and neighbours and their local politicians. She says that with enough people

talking, it can shift the conversation about healthcare in Saskatchewan.

“For us, it’s just about raising awareness. The more people know and ask questions, the better.”

“There isn’t a city in this province where people don’t value healthcare very deeply. So we need to tap into those values and change the system. Health is political, so we need to force politicians to make those political choices and put health where it needs to be for everyone in the province,” Butler adds.

Knitting a passion for Christine Snowden

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Christine Snowden of Gladstone, Manitoba knits because she loves it, and Christine’s Hand Knits has become a Sunflower Fine Arts and Craft Market fixture as she brings her hand knit creations to the city each year.

Traditional aran-style sweaters and cardigans are what Snowden makes, and a style that originated in Ireland. It has been something she has loved to do for sixty years.

“My grandmother taught me to knit when I was seven, and I thank her every day.”

As someone who says she can’t sit still and do nothing, she finds knitting to be a therapeutic endeavour. She brings all of her yarn from England,

and says that doing the craft sales is a way to keep doing a hobby that she loves.

“A lot of people laugh at me but I can relax knitting, and the more complicated a pattern is the better I can relax.”

While knitting for sixty years, Snowden has been going to craft shows for the past twenty or so.

She says that she enjoys events like Sunflower because it’s a chance to meet people.

“The friends you make at a place like this, it’s unbelievable really.”

Making high quality sweaters is a way to get people back year after year, and she says her business is built on people who come back, bring their friends, and encourage others to look at her sweaters.

“It just snowballs and snowballs, you get people

coming by, and then the next year they bring friends by, and two or three years after that they buy for themselves again.”

While she began with just sweaters, Snowden says that each year you need to do something a bit different. For that reason, she’s gone into scarves and mittens, and then went into baby sweaters as well.

She also has a personal reason to get into the children’s sweaters.

Snowden has 21 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren, so family always has a chance to stay warm in the winter.

“Everything I have left goes to Christmas presents.”

It was a good weekend for Snowden, though she admits that the warm weekend makes it a challenge to sell warm sweat-

She says she doesn’t expect to do much more than cover costs, but she enjoys getting out and

meeting people at the shows, and since she knits so much it makes sense to sell it.

“My fingers keep going. As long as they keep going, I’ll keep knitting.”

Old clothes become new looks at Sunflower

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Old clothes are often seen as something to discard. Bonnie Janes sees old clothing as an opportunity, a starting point to make new fashion out of recycled materials. Janes made her first trip to the Sunflower Fine Art and Craft Market with her

business Upcycle It Janes.

Janes calls the process “upcycling,” taking old clothes, deconstructing them and building a new outfit out of the designs. Each piece is one of a kind, as they’re built around a specific piece of clothing and the potential design that can be made out of it.

The business began

as Janes wanted to make things for herself.

She began with a Roughriders “infinity scarf,” which she was inspired to make by a T-shirt that had a stain on it.

“I thought, there has got to be something I can do with this, and it started from there.”

Janes gets much of her inspiration online,

as sites like Pinterest has other people like herself doing similar upcycling projects. She likes to make her own spin on everything she sees.

“I take my time, have my stash of clothing that I pick up and think, I can do something with this. Inspiration hits and you just play.”

Janes admits that

she looks at clothes completely differently now that she has begun to fashion them into unique looks.

“It used to be something I was scared to do, pulling something apart.”

This was Janes’ first year at Sunflower, and she says that a craft show is an advantage over just selling online,

because he clothes are something that gain something from people being able to actually see them up close.

“It’s something people really have to see and touch. I have an Etsy site and a Facebook page, but... people have to see it, touch it and feel it to see that it’s something they would want.”

A feast for the eyes at Godfrey Dean

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer It’s a feast for the eyes at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. Artist Haley Polinsky’s food photography is a celebration of the ingredients she uses and a showcase of the farm to table style she believes in.

Originally from Theodore, Polinsky says that food styling and photography came as she wanted to change careers. Working as a chef, she decided to take a course in graphic design.

“I started seeing that you could combine the two, food and art together.”

The photography reflects the way that Polinsky likes to cook, and she says it’s a celebration of quality ingredients. Both her photographs and her meals themselves are built around quality, local ingredients.

“The style of cooking I like to do is very simple, you don’t need to do much as long as you have high quality ingredients.”

Keeping an open mind when considering food is important for Polinsky, and she says that sometimes a shoot will be built around ingredients that she has never cooked before, because she wants to see what it’s like.

Other times, she will have a craving for a specific dish and plan a shoot around that.

“Everything has to be delicious that I shoot, because I’m going to eat it after.”

The show itself inspired attendees to be more adventurous in their meals, as many people asked Polinsky about specific ingredients, preparations and recommendations. She says that this is part of her goal, and she wants people to be outgoing when it comes to meals and planning.

“I think people should open their minds and try all sorts of different things. With food there’s such a vast world, so why not try this or that? I try lots of things I don’t like, but you know until try it.”

The farm to table style is one that Polinsky believes in strongly, which comes through in her work, which also focuses on farmers selling ingredients. She says that since she grew up on a small family farm in Theodore, she knows the work that goes into providing quality ingredients.

“It’s important to me that we support farmers, because I’m from a family that are farmers.”

While a food stylist, Polinsky says that she believes not every meal needs to be photographed, but that some should just be enjoyed.

“That’s the beauty of cooking as well, it’s instantly gratifying but

HALEY POLINSKY has created a feast for the eyes, with images celebrating the ingredients she has used to create different dishes. it’s instantly gone, as opposed to a painting that lasts a lifetime.”

Head Start homes highlighted in Yorkton

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Building entry-level homes is the goal of Head Start on a Home, a project initiated by the Government of Saskatchewan to encourage the development of new, lower cost projects in the province.

There was recently an open house to showcase the homes and build interest in the development.

Wanda Hunchak, Vice President of Westcap Management, explains that the government provides construction financing for new homes, which are entry level housing. She explains that the program was a response to an increase in real estate prices across the province.

“We had just come off a market where we had saw the average price of a home increase by thirty per cent, so it was really tough for people to get into home ownership. The program was launched to make sure we got entry level housing on the market faster, and more of it on the market than before.”

In the province of Saskatchewan, $400 million has been spent to construct 2,200 homes across the province.

The program is run in partnership with

Saskatchewan Credit Unions, which also offer down payment assistance in the form of a five year loan financed at prime, called the HeadStart Home Equity Builder Program.

In Yorkton, there is also assistance available for people who are looking to get into a HeadStart home and get out of the rental market.

There is a non-repayable equity grant of $5,000 towards a down payment on a Head Start home. To qualify, a household must have an income of below or equal to $78,400. They must also have been renting in Yorkton for at least six months, and be a first time home buyer.

The goal of the program is to get people out of rental units and into home ownership.

“Often that’s the biggest hurdle for people.

The mortgage cost of owning a home and the rental cost of renting a home are usually very similar. But it’s that five per cent down payment that is a hurdle for people.”

While the Head Start program is operated in partnership with the Saskatchewan Credit Unions, Hunchak emphasizes that people are free to finance through any financial institution. She also notes that they can go

HEAD START on a Home has been building new, entrylevel homes for people across the province, including this build near 5th Ave. South

through any real estate agent as well, and in that way it is like buying any other home on the market.

The HeadStart Home Equity Builder program is only available through the

Credit Union, however.

Head Start homes in Yorkton are in approximately in the $230,000 range. Hunchak says the advantage is that these are new homes at that price.

“Here in the Yorkton market there isn’t a lot of housing in that entry level market. If people are looking to become homeowners there are homes that were constructed maybe 20-30

years ago, so you’re often faced with renovation costs or hidden costs in things like furnaces or shingles. This is brand new home ownership with a home warranty.”

OFFICE MANAGER: Diane St. Marie WRITER: Devin Wilger SALES: Penny Pearce PRODUCTION MANAGER: Carol Melnechenko CIRCULATION/ADMIN: Michaela Miller

Don’t forget the principle For decades, Canada’s healthcare system had a mythological hold on the Canadian psyche. The idea that we enjoyed the best healthcare in the world was unassailable.

In recent years, however, some chinks have been showing up in the armour. In fact, we lag behind many other industrialized democracies in terms of waiting times; access to the latest technologies; access to physicians, paraprofessionals and specialists; and coverage of health services beyond hospital and physician care, including medication.

It is precisely because of the system’s iconic status in the national zeitgeist that it has been so difficult to fix. The traditional response to gaps has been to throw more money at it to the point healthcare makes up nearly half of provincial government expenditures. Of course, there are many reasons for rising costs from the demographics of the population to more and better treatments and technologies.

Nevertheless, as the cost of the system continues to grow, it will simply become unsustainable.

This is a perennial issue in elections at all levels of government. So far, it has not been front and centre in the current federal election, but undoubtedly it will become so particularly as the parties flesh out their economic plans as healthcare transfers to the provinces play a big role in federal budgets as well.

On Monday, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the Council of Canadians brought a town hall meeting to Yorkton to raise awareness of the issues for the local election campaign.

Pretty much everybody, including these two organizations, agrees the system needs reform.

How this should be done goes well beyond the scope of this editorial, but we must be cautious of not throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

The town hall reminded us that the Canadian healthcare system was founded right here in Saskatchewan on the very sound principles of universality and equity of access. In practice, it might be impossible to live up perfectly to these moral imperatives.

In a free country, you cannot force healthcare professionals to go to the places they are needed.

And budgetary constraints mean every town and city cannot have every kind of service and technology.

Nevertheless, we must strive to uphold the principle of equitable healthcare for every man, woman and child in this country as we struggle with the logistics of reform.

Culture not a priority for government The Canadian Conference of the Arts, the Canadian Arts Coalition and the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance are pleased to release the analysis of the 2015 Federal Budget which examines federal funding for the arts and culture sector for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The broad conclusion of this analysis is that while this preelection budget does not contain any major changes to cultural funding by Ottawa, arts and culture do not figure amongst the political priorities of the government.

For the first time since 2012, funding levels remained relatively steady compared to last fiscal year. The funding cuts announced in 2012 were fully rolled out in 2014-2015 and continue to have an impact on the sector, most notably in the audiovisual sector. Budget 2015, however, saw no major cuts and the total expenditures for the Department of Canadian Heritage and other federal cultural agencies and crown corporations remain within a 1.4% variance of the previous year’s expenditures.

Although funding to the Canada Council for the Arts has been protected and made permanent, on a per capita basis, funding to the Council has declined by 8.3% over the last decade in spite of the sector’s calls for increases. What funds the Council has are being stretched further and further, as the Council increased its support to international market access and now

undertakes a transformation in its funding model.

Where the government does invest in activities related to culture and the arts, it is often in connection with other priorities, like celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Confederation in 2017 and commemorating Canada’s military history. Total funding thus far for the 150th celebrations totals $470.5 million, including the $110.5 million in capital funding to the National Arts Centre.

However, the arts are far from front and centre in the government’s plans for the anniversary celebrations, and the scope and extent of funding available is far less robust than for the Centennial in 1967.

“It is disappointing to see that our pleas that a balanced budget in 2015 would lead to increased investments in culture were ignored. It is imperative that arts and cultural organizations continue to urge the government to reinvest and make new investments in the sector” said Kathleen Sharpe, president of the Canadian Conference of the Arts. “The federal electoral campaign is a propitious time to advocate for support for the cultural sector and see which party will commit to it,” noted Kate Cornell, Co-Chair of the Canadian Arts Coalition.

Trans Canada safety would not be helped by lights In this space, I have spilled more than enough ink lamenting the frankly terrifying stretch of the Trans Canada Highway east of Regina. Everyone hates this piece of road, it’s among the worst roads in the province, because it’s high traffic, high speed, and inherently unsafe.

Attempts to fix it have just made it worse, because the attempts to fix it have a fundamental misunderstanding of why it’s unsafe. The attempt to reduce speed with lower limits just means that if you attempt to abide by the new, lower limit, all you get is a rear window full of speeding, angry F-150.

The provincial NDP, to their credit, understand that this is an inherently unsafe stretch of highway. To their detriment, they’re proposing the worst possible solution to an already terrible situation. They want traffic lights down the highway, a proposal that removes the grille of that F-150 from your back window, and then neatly places it in the back seat of your car.

The problem comes from the fundamental problem with the highway as it is – it’s a relatively open roadway with few landmarks, but a lot of level crossings on it. The result is that you have a roadway where nobody really wants to abide by the speed limit, and as a result does not. Even with

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger a high collision corridor sign and threats of photo radar, people still drive quite quickly, and the flow of traffic is relatively fast. That makes it very difficult to access the highway for people coming in off of a side road, which is why people keep driving into those people.

Take a road where everyone drives too fast, including many large trucks and semis, then force them to stop at several points on the road. What you get is not a safe driving utopia for creatures big and small, you get people who are unable to stop in time and drive into other people. This is naturally exacerbated in the winter, where people also have ice to contend with, which doesn’t help with the sudden stop they will now be expected to do quite quickly.

You could argue that people shouldn’t be driving so fast anyway, that this is the source of all our problems. This is fine, in theory, but in practice nobody is going to do it. What we need, and what is being proposed with the Regina bypass design, is to get fewer level crossings and reduce the amount of traffic disruptions on this stretch of road. The project has become extremely expensive, hitting $1.88 billion, and it’s going to take time to implement – the first phase on this stretch of road will not be finished until 2017. But the approach of focusing on overpasses is, at a minimum, the correct one.

I can appreciate that the provincial NDP wants to make the stretch of highway safer, I do too. We can agree on the fundamental point that there needs to be a massive design change to this stretch of highway for the safety of everyone who travels it. Where we depart is in how this stretch of road can be fixed. Going slower has made it worse, discovering how close a full size truck is willing to get to your rear bumper is not a fun experience.

Adding stops will make it worse still, because they will not stop quickly enough, and will cause accidents. The Regina Bypass is going out of control, cost-wise, but going with traffic lights is more dangerous than doing nothing at all.

Quill Lakes situation concerning

Election contrasts

To the Editor:

Open Letter to: All Saskatchewan People The Flooding in the Quill Lakes is no longer just the problem of a few farmers, it is soon to become everyone’s problem. Every taxpayer has a stake in this.

This “dam” proposal by the Water Security Agency (the Kutawagan Diversion) is just the beginning of a long and expensive mistake that is completely avoidable.

It will cause countless expenditures long into the future, just to attempt to justify the original mistake. Recent history to our immediate neighbors to the southeast should be our warning.

The state of North Dakota, is still losing money over forced decisions made in dealing with the Devil’s Lake fiasco, with expenses by federal, state and local governments exceeding a billion dollars so far.

The US National Weather Service describes “the new climate” when talking about high water events in the North American Great Plains. Also, there are predictions from the US geological survey that this current flooding cycle may last for decades or longer... In an article

by Douglas Larson in the 2011 American Scientist magazine, (net-search “Runaway Devils Lake” a must read for sask. people!) the final paragraph sums up the tragedy perfectly… it states: “With the crisis unfolding, nature appears to have the upper hand, at least for now. Humans, seeking a technical fix at this late hour, may have lost control of their environment, a lesson about the importance of pre-emptive action to forestall or reverse an impending environmental disaster.

This may be particularly true now that unpredictable climate change appears likely across the globe. Having lost the proactive advantage, those working to solve

the problem at Devils Lake have been reduced to a rearguard strategy.

That is a position that may become familiar to people around the world in years to come” We are those “people” at that crossroad, right now, here in this province. The opportunity to take a pre-emptive action is right now! If we try and hold back unwanted volumes of flood water we are just copying the same mistakes made to the south of us, all over again. This will cost the province massive expenditures long into the future, and that should be everyone’s concern.

To prevent flooding, upstream and down, we need an immediate controlled release of water Quill Lakes now, and a commitment to maintain a constant water level at today’s elevation or lower!

From our flood committee’s investigations we have learned firsthand that the majority of the Last Mountain Lake/ Qu’Appelle water-way is concerned with flood issues already taking place. The statements almost unanimously from community to community are “we can’t handle the water we have now!” Today’s fall rain events are mimicking the conditions that caused the spring of 2011 flood.

Added to that scare is a now threatening 2.1 million acre watershed area that has risen vertically 6.5 meters in 11 years and rising, with less than a meter to go to spill point. This is an opportunity to get downstream infrastructure fixed now to reduce their threat of repeating flooding. This will help everyone along the system from the Quills to Hudson Bay prepare for the “new climate” realities. If the flooding continues at its current, or possibly at an increased rate.

The man-made dam, a ticking time bomb above the LastMountain-Qu’Appelle system, will continue to threaten fish habitat,

expensive property and infrastructure throughout the entire downstream system every single year.

There is enormous differences, in long-term economic ramifications to the provincial, and to local economies, depending on what is done right now!

The current short term fix proposed by WSA, does not show the economic losses that will be immediate and lengthy due to an avoidable flood.

The estimates prepared by the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics, and Bill Hodous Ramsey County Extension Agent, North Dakota State University, February 2011… compare market value of lost crop production, and the additional losses throughout their economy. They are listed as an annual market loss of almost $53 million dollars. This adds up to direct and indirect losses of $194 million, distributed between the crop sector at $57 million, personal income sector $51 million, retail Trade Sector $43 million, and job losses of 1,150 regional jobs. We are looking at slightly less total acres than Devils Lake, but anyone can see the guaranteed losses of holding back unwanted water.

This cost estimate does not show the immediate loss to property values, of lost lands already flooded in the Quill Basin of 58,000 acres crown pasture, hay, and recreational lands that devastated cattle and tourism, and 27,000 acres of private lands, estimated at $42 million dollars.

As for the 60,000 acres of prime crop lands, and every farmyard and acreage designated “inside the Quill Basin immediate flood plain,” a decision to dam water back will…

Immediately render all of these lands worthless to be sold or used as collateral!

This creates an immediate further loss of

another $150 million to local residents, investors, and lending institutions.

The only value they retain is from the few crops they can produce before being flooded out.

These people are left totally trapped with one stroke of a pen. Their history, their incomes and their retirement is erased. The annual losses will continue for decades after the water recedes which could mean a century or more.

The tax-payers costs to building and rebuilding dams will multiply exponentially with each rise in water, just like it did in North Dakota.

One comment from one of the participants in the consultation process was “we could pay for a new stadium and put a roof on it for those kind of dollars”… in reality those losses will repeat, and escalate every year until the lands are recovered, for the flood victims, the regional economy and the provincial tax base.

All future flooding of the Quill Lakes are almost entirely avoidable, as proven by the studies already provided by consultants on this issue. This is now a choice… flooding for everyone is not necessary… a controlled release will protect downstream property owners as much as it will the Quill Lakes.

Who will be responsible for future losses from this decision? Will the people along the Last Mountain LakeQu’Appelle chain and the province of Manitoba, pay for the costs of this dam, and all of the economic losses that accrues? If it’s a federal decision, will the federal government pay? Or will the Saskatchewan taxpayers be hung out to dry? The cost of this dam project is too much… for everyone Kerry Holderness Chair of the Quill Lakes Flood Vi c t i m s Organization Jason Friesen Chair of the Quill Lakes Flood Impact Organization

Linen service policy good move To the Editor: Two and a half years ago, and building on policy decisions made by the previous NDP administration, our government completed the analysis of this shared service and decided to contract linen laundry services to a private company. The contract with K-Bro Linens will save Saskatchewan’s health care system nearly $100 million over the next ten years. These savings will be invested in health care, in the front-line staff and infrastructure in communities throughout the province.

K-Bro Linens has operated in BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec for over sixty years. With their central facility in Regina and delivery depots in Saskatoon and

Prince Albert, all of Saskatchewan will start to take advantage of this service this month.

The new linen contract is not only cost-effective, but will also improve infection prevention and control. In preparation for this transition, health regions have been making a number of changes that included higher quality bedding products, improved methods for transporting soiled linen, and better inventory control procedures. As part of the contract, delivery is guaranteed and the Government of Saskatchewan will be empowered to conduct quality audits and will have the ability to levy penalties should these standards not be met.

Over the last few years, we have worked hard alongside 3sHealth, health regions, and

unions to lessen the impact to employees throughout the health care system. All employees who are affected are being offered supports such as severances, assistance with financial planning and employment services within their regional health authorities, as determined by our on-going work with their respective provider unions.

We are excited that this plan is now ready to be implemented.

By working with a private company to deliver linen laundry services, we will not only improve services but also be in a position to invest the savings back into strengthening our health care system.

To the Editor:

Last week, I registered to vote for the first time in a U.S. election. As a Canadian with dual citizenship living in the United States, and an inveterate political junkie, this summer and fall gives me the gift of a double feature - two campaigns happening simultaneously in each of the countries I consider home.

But that statement needs a qualification. In the U.S., a vote for president is still more than 14 months away - or, roughly the gestation period of a walrus. At least Canada has the contenders in place. In the U.S., we don’t even yet know who will ultimately be running against whom.

The stump speeches are just the pageant preliminaries before the showdown of the swimsuit competition to come in 2016. This makes me react with amusement when I hear commentators north of the border refer to the 77-day Canadian campaign set to culminate on Oct. 19 as a ‘marathon.’

At the launch of the campaign, national affairs writer Tim Harper of the Toronto Star illustrated the magnitude of this attention-grabbing, soulsucking demand on the innocent Canuck when he outlined the true magnitude of 77 days as a period of time “. . . that will traverse three holiday weekends, almost three calendar months and two seasons.”

THREE holiday weekends? Oh, the inhumanity!

In many ways, the two approaches to electing leaders is a reversal in perceived national character: a short campaign seems brash and bold - as swift and soaring as an eagle in flight. It is the ‘shock-and-awe’ method of choosing leaders.

In contrast, a campaign extended well beyond a year before the eventual vote seems somewhat plodding and methodical. It seems consistent with ‘peace, order and good government’ and the Canadian penchant for parliamentary commissions that are almost duty-bound not to report their findings until the issue they are contemplating has become safely moot. It is more tortoise than hare, and all beaver.

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer our Canadian expediency to the obsessive odyssey that is American politics. Far better that we save protracted competition lasting months on end for the truly critical things - like determining a Stanley Cup winner.

The advantages of a short campaign are clear: It allows voters to bring a laser-like focus to issues that are not likely to change by election day - things like Mike Duffy’s expenses or Justin Trudeau’s hair.

But the biggest disadvantage to entertainment value I see is that the 77-day sprint (yes, that’s what it really is) does not allow nearly enough time for politicians to truly go off the rails with foot-inmouth disease born of fatigue.

That is where U.S. politics shines. Because of the length of what is an actual marathon, all candidates have an equal opportunity to say things at any given time that are loopy enough to brush up against lunacy. Think of Chris Christie’s suggestion that visitors to the U.S. be tracked like FedEx packages, and Scott Walker’s musing that a border wall between Canada and the United States might not be such a bad idea.

As an aside, I am not sure how this wall-frenzy was born and took root in Republican hearts and minds. After all, it was the Republican Supreme Being - Ronald Reagan - who gave the end of the Cold War its most iconic command: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

I think walls are just so old school. Why not a dome like in the Simpson’s movie, or Stephen King’s imagination? This would protect the U.S. from land, sea, or air. Encasing the country like a pastry on a diner counter is not just inherently more secure; it is aesthetically more pleasing.

Election Cont.’ from Page 4A

Future earthquakes might cause a beautiful snow globe effect, and all of us on the outside would be able to say “ahhhhhh.”

In Canada, even with the added opportunity of making flubs in two official languages, we are rarely treated to a candidate spouting anything so ridiculous that it becomes sublime. The only possible exception is Prime Minister John Turner throwing up his hands during a debate in 1984 and saying “I had no option,” in response to attacks from Brian Mulroney about patronage appointments in the waning days of Pierre Trudeau’s time in office.

But the most significant Canadian advantage I see is that all the players are known. Absent of divine intervention, voters know what their choices will be on Oct. 19. This is far from the case in the U.S., where the eventual winner and next president could be someone not even running now.

For pure entertainment value, Joe Biden would be more than we could hope for. What’s also a bit macabre is that between now and the national party conventions next summer, failed candidates will fall by the wayside like so many castaways on Survivor whose torches are snuffed.

But back to my U.S. voter registration. Having been a poll worker in past Canadian elections, I was disconcerted to discover that here I was expected to identify my party affiliation on the official form.

This seemed vaguely Soviet to me for the land of the free.

As there was no box to check that said ‘ex-pat Canadian’ or ‘Habs fan’ I chose ‘Other.’ It seemed the safest, most neutral, least dogmatic and least attention-getting choice of all.

And what could be more Canadian than that?

Terry Fox Run prepares for thirty fifth year

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

It has been thirty five years since Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, and in that time major strides have been made in cancer research and survivability.

More work needs to be done, and that’s why the Terry Fox Run continues. Yorkton will be part of the national event, with the run happening on September 20.

Katie Wilkinson has taken over as the chair of the event. She says that after last year brought out nearly 200 runners, they hope to

keep the numbers up and raise as much money as they can.

“We’re trying to make it as big as possible.”

There will be a 5km route for the event, and participants can take either a 5km or 10km run. There will also be a barbecue provided by Mr. Mikes.

Wilkinson herself has been running for two years now, and says she was inspired by losses in her own life to start running for the cause.

“Running has helped me push through a lot of really negative things in my life... It’s also

inspired people in my life to get into running.

Terry Fox, what he did for people just bringing so much awareness to cancer, and raise so much money to help people, you want to continue that.”

Having taken over as chair very late in the game, Wilkinson says that this year is about keeping the momentum from the past two years, where the event had a significant increase in numbers for the Yorkton area.

“A lot of people I know have never even ran a race or anything like that, and they’re

getting really excited about being able to get out and run and have a good time. It’s a really positive experience for everyone involved.”

Wilkinson is already getting plans together for next year’s event, and says that she wants to have the event continue to grow, and have more events surrounding it in the lead up to the run itself.

To get involved, people can come on the day of the event or go online at terryfox.org. They can also contact Wilkinson at kwilk1988@gmail.com or 306-620-3244.

THE TERRY FOX RUN is celebrating its thirty fifth anniversary, and the Yorkton event is building up to the main event. Pictured above, a lead up barbecue hosted at the Cornerstone Credit Union was an early fundraising event.

The run will be held on September 20 at the Gloria Hayden Community Centre.

Artist focuses on the texture of the west

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Val Moker wants to capture people and places, getting their complete personality on the canvas. She was at the Sunflower Fine Art Craft Market to showcase her work.

There is a real western influence in her work, with cows, cowboys and horses all getting central focus in dif-

ferent paintings. That comes from growing up in Wroxton, Moker says, as she was inspired by the local rodeos she attended as a young woman.

“The western cowboy is a very unique individual. They don’t like to come off the land, we have very strong cowboy personalities in Saskatchewan and they stay true to their own... They’re real original peo-

ple, that’s the drawing card to them.”

Outside of the cowboy, Moker often paints people at work. She says that when she finds a model, she needs to get to know them, and someone’s true personality comes out at work.

“I try to get to know them, and try to take their personality into the painting. It’s not just painting pretty pic-

tures.”

Moker also has a focus on nature. She says this is because she wants people to stop and pay close attention to the natural world around them, and doing it through her paintings is one way to get people to pay attention to nature and take the chance to reconnect with it.

The texture of a scene is the what connects Moker’s

Watching the moon of fall equinox

This week is a great time to watch our space travelling companion, the Moon, move through its first quarter on Sunday, then through the Fall Equinox on the 23rd toward its Full Moon phase on the 27th.

This particular Full Moon is traditionally called the Harvest Moon, and, by coincidence, is also as close as it will get to the Earth this year, making it the ‘Supermoon’ of ‘Supermoons’.

In an unrelated venture that same Sunday afternoon, the Montreal Alouettes happen to be

in Regina to take on the Riders.

To celebrate the coming together of all of these events, and to give Rider fans travelling home something to take their minds off the game, the Moon will be putting on a bit of a show in the form of a syzygy (an alignment of three celestial bodies, and one of my favourite words).

On Sunday the 27th, we will get a chance to experience a reasonably common event, a Total Lunar Eclipse, for an uncommon length of time.

Lunar eclipses, where

The Universe from your own back yard

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. the Earth casts it’s shadow onto the Moon, happen fairly often, potentially every six months or so. However, most are partial eclipses where the Earth shadow covers only part of the Moon, so unless someone happens to be specifically watching, they pass unnoticed.

The main part of the September 27th eclipse will provide us with three hours, twenty minutes of entertainment (7:07pm 10:27pm), including seventy one minutes of totality featuring the rare, deep red, ‘Blood Moon’.

This eclipse promises to be a fine view for the unaided eye, binoculars or telescope, and a great introduction to the night sky for kids.

Unlike solar eclipses, these are perfectly safe to view.

Rider fans still on the road after 7pm, especially those heading easterly, will be entertained by the rising, eclipsed Moon.

Binoculars make it better, so take them along.

Of course, any time I tell anyone I will be out to view an event, it clouds over, so, I will state right now that I

will officially NOT be viewing the eclipse in order to give everyone else a chance to experience it.

I will, though, in next week’s article, go over a few observation hints for novice eclipse viewers, and let you know where I officially won’t be in case you might want to have a look at the eclipsed Moon and other things through binoculars or a telescope which won’t officially be there either.

This is an event for the entire family, coming soon to an east-facing back yard near you.

Chokeslam to fund film in Saskatchewan

Creative Saskatchewan is excited to announce funding for local film Chokeslam.

Chokeslam is a coproduction between Saskatchewan’s Karma Film and Alberta’s CHAOS a film company. The film begins shooting today and will have a Saskatchewanbased crew, of approximately 60 people.

“This is our second co-production with Karma Film,” says Carolyn McMaster, Producer, CHAOS a film company. “Our last movie, Ferocious, was filmed here to great success. We are excited to have the opportunity to work in this province again, and are very appreciative of the support we have received from the team at

Creative Saskatchewan.”

Casting is currently under-way, with 16 roles earmarked for Saskatchewan talent, and over 300 extras.

The producers are excited about the cast they are lining up for the film; bringing Chris Marquette, as Corey Swanson, and Amanda Crew, as Sheena “Machina” Halliday, back together to

SATVA demands action After the seventh ATV-related death this s u m m e r, the Saskatchewan AllTerrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) is calling for the provincial government to take immediate action on reducing deaths and injuries due to ATV use.

“We need the provincial government to take a leadership role on this issue or people will continue to die or be injured on their ATVs,” said SATVA General Manager John Meed.

In addition to this year’s deaths, there were five deaths last year and eight in 2013.

Since 2009 there have been 1,019 hospital admissions due to ATV injuries. That amount is even higher since it doesn’t include patients who were treated by a

doctor, walk-in clinics or emergency room departments, but were not admitted to the hospital or required medical attention.

“It really is the time for action. People are not only experiencing pain and suffering, but we are also placing a significant strain on our health care system.

There is also the loss of wages for people and productivity for businesses. We need to work together to create a safer community for ATV enthusiasts,” said Meed.

An action plan would include: • Funding for safety training and education programs so more people would know how to safely operate an ATV. • Funding to create dedicated ATV trails which would lead to

safer experiences for ATV drivers.

• ATV registration to ensure proper enforcement and to provide funding for the first two action items.

• An overhaul of the ATV Act, which has seen only minor revisions since it was enacted in 1989.

“The current situation is simply intolerable and we need to start addressing it,” said Meed.

SATVA was formed in 2006 to unite ATV clubs and users into a single voice to promote the safe and responsible use of ATVs in Saskatchewan. ATVs include quads, side by sides, UTVs and other off road vehicles.

“This is my second movie in Saskatchewan. The locations are perfect for the movie and the crews are dedicated and passionate about the arts,” says awardwinning writer/director Robert Cuffley (Walk All Over Me).

“Thank you to Creative Saskatchewan for their support of this project,” says Anand Ramayya, Executive Producer, Chokeslam. “This is the best script I’ve read and is an ideal film to shoot in Saskatchewan.”

“We are thrilled to support this film,” says JP Ellson, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan. “Chokeslam is a rousing example of the creative work being done in

our province.”

Chokeslam will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Corey Swanson, a mildmannered deli clerk, who slices up cold cuts for a living, is good at hiding his unhappiness. But the grey cloud that’s hung over Corey’s head since high school is about to lift.

Corey attends, convinced that seeing Sheena one more time will finally give him closure on that better-forgotten chapter of his life. The cutthroat world of corporate wrestling has not been kind to Sheena.

Her once promising career

is now a downward slide of steroids and reality television appearances. Former classmates eagerly taunt this walking punch line, reveling in her misfortune.

Watching as Sheena pummels these sorry men into unconsciousness, Corey becomes aware of one thing … He’s not over her. Not even close.

Chokeslam is the story of bruising your knuckles as you club your way through the barriers of love. It’s also about the perils of dating a wrestler with a bad temper.

Planning for spring? Plant a bulb today!

By Erl Svendsen

It’s hard to believe – fall is nigh and it’s time to start planning for spring. I’m talking about planting bulbs. It’s truly an act of faith when you can put a somewhat dried-up bulb in the ground in the fall, watch the leaves on the trees drop and then expect flowers to develop in the spring from seemingly nothing.

There are hundreds of different species and cultivars of bulbs (and bulb-like plants) available to Prairie gardeners. More than just boring red or yellow, there are tulips with fringed edges, with splashes of green, doubles, multicolour, striped, tall, dwarf, early spring, late spring, and more.

Beyond tulips, there lilies, ornamental onions (Alliums), squill, striped squill, grape hyacinth, snowdrops, some fritillary species (but not crown imperial fritillary), iris and more.

Sadly, crocus, narcissus, and daffodils are not reliably hardy and hyacinths and paperwhites are definitely not.

Size matters. Bulbs – particularly tulips, daffodils and lilies – are graded and priced according to size and so expect to pay more for

premium sized bulbs.

Purchase the largest specimens that you can afford. Large bulbs mean vigorous plants with large flowers. Avoid damaged, moldy, or soft bulbs.

Plant your bulbs as soon as purchased in a sunny, weed-free, welldrained location. Snow cover is important to reduce the damaging effects of winter.

Planting depth matters: regardless of species or cultivar, bulbs should be planted at least three times deeper than they are tall. For example, if the bulb is 5 cm tall, make the hole about 15 cm deep. Plant slightly deeper in sandy soil.

Initially, dig the hole 5 – 10 cm deeper than required. Add some bonemeal, bloodmeal or 11-52-0 to the loosened soil and put some of the soil back to make it the proper depth. Place the bulbs, pointed end up, in the bottom of the hole.

Cover with the remaining amended soil.

Plant bulbs in clumps of 5 or more for a natural effect and to increase the visual impact of a massed planting. You can also plant mixtures such as tulips together with ornamental onions or lilies, extending the blooming period of your patch and to add inter-

est. Plant the largest bulbs at their proper depth, cover with soil and plant the next largest at a shallower level (e.g. plant lilies at 25 cm and tulips at 15 cm).

Small species and cultivars (squill, grape hyacinth, snake’s head fritillary, and Tulipa tarda) should be planted near the edge of your border or near a path where they can be seen. Larger species such as tulips, lilies, and ornamental onions can be planted further back to be admired from a distance.

Some small species like Scilla or Tulipa tarda can be planted under low growing junipers.

The juniper gives them extra protection over the winter. After they die down, the ground isn’t bare so you don’t have to worry about disturbing them during the summer by planting something else to fill the space.

One version of a Chinese proverb is: “When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.” I say throw caution to wind and spend both pennies on lilies! Besides, you can always eat cake.

New stamp honours historic reign

CNW - Canada Post today issued a stamp to honour a Royal milestone.

As of 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be the longest reigning Sovereign in Canada’s modern era (more than 63 years), surpassing the reign of her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria (1837-1901).

“Our stamps not only depict past history, often they celebrate history in the making. This is just such an event – and we are proud to have the opportunity to honour Her Majesty as well as her remarkable record of service to Canada and all Canadians,” says Deepak Chopra, President and CEO, Canada Post.

From a timeless portrait of Her Majesty’s Coronation in 1953 to a photo taken during the 2010 Royal Tour of Canada, the new stamp captures six decades of Queen Elizabeth II. During her reign, Her Majesty has graced more than 60 stamps.

Her Majesty ascended the throne on February 6,

1952, following the sudden death of her father, King George VI. Her coronation took place on June 2, 1953.

For most Canadians, she is the only Sovereign to have reigned during their lifetime.

The stamp was designed

by Entro’s Doreen Colonello and Gerald Querubin.

Photographed at the 2010 Canada Day celebration on Parliament Hill, Her Majesty is dressed in red and white – Canada’s official colours, as designated by her grandfather, King George V in 1921. She also proudly wears the famous diamond maple leaf broach presented to her mother, Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) as part of the famous 1939 Royal Tour of Canada.

Other Royal Family Members have also graced Canadian postage. Most recently, stamps marking the engagement and wedding of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were extremely popular with all Canadians in 2011, and in

2013, a baby blue stamp heralded the arrival of HRH Prince George Alexander Louis.

Page 12A - THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, September 17, 2015

Looking back on our collective past I didn’t expect this.

While reading Cream Money: Stories of Prairie People, I stopped several times and thought: we have no idea. “We” being anyone who did not live in rural SK in the early to mid-1900s, when even children worked hard to ensure that life ran smoothly on the farm. It was the era of large families and tight budgets, of rolling up one’s sleeves before the school bus even arrived, and of smothering foods of all kind in rich, delicious, straight-from-the-cow cream.

Editor Deana J. Driver has collected 29 short and interesting anecdotes (plus several black and white photographs) from Saskatchewanians - from Abbey to Yorkton - who well recall how hard they worked and how different life was in earlier times, when cream was

regularly sold to creameries.

It was not uncommon for farmers of that time to own at least one dairy cow, and the much-needed funds earned selling cream kept many families financially afloat during lean times.

Within these pages we learn about specific animals, milking techniques, the cream-separating process and equipment used, the storing and transport of this precious cream, what earnings were used for, the various ways in which cream (and skim milk) were used, and about familial and community relationships.

There are commonalities, ie: no one expressed joy at washing the separating discs, and several writers fondly remembered some of the candies they were treated with: Cracker Jacks, Lucky Elephant popcorn,

Mojos, and jawbreakers (three for a penny). More than one writer expressed gratitude at receiving a dairy cow(s) as a wedding gift. Having a mouse fall into the cream can or learning your cow got into stinkweed and cream quality was diminished- was also commonly bemoaned.

Bryce Burnett, from Swift Current, presented his reminiscence in the form of a an ode called “Cream Can”: “At the country dance it served as a stool for the fiddler of the band,\Or was beat upon its bottom by the sticks of a drummer’s hand.” Weyburn writer Jean F. Fahlman poetically begins: “Thick farm cream ran through rural life, a river of richness and financial survival.” I chuckled about her Jersey cow that had learned to “[suck] herself dry before milking time.”

This is an important

Review by Shelley A. Leedahl - Courtesy SaskBooks

book, both historically and culturally, as these plainspoken reminiscences preserve the stories regarding a way of life that is now decades behind us. In many ways Cream Money is a cousin to “community books,” where people also include what family members got up to and where they are now, family photos, and even journal entries.

Leroy-born Jerry Holfeld sums the experience up nicely: “In my young mind [dairy farming] seemed time-consuming and inconvenient when compared to the profit in the whole enterprise but in thinking about it now, it was rich in regards to the memories and the thinking process … in establishing values and character based on love … obedience … and honest work …”.

Yes, a rich time. Rich as cream.

Back-to-school a time of transition

Even with summer coming to an end and the new school year approaching, there are many reasons to keep getting outside. Every part of Canada has so much to offer.

From Vancouver Island to Newfoundland there are countless nature destinations close to home. Who says the fun has to stop in September?

“Back to school is a big transition time for all family members,” says Erica Thompson, the Nature Conservation of Canada’s (NCC’s) national engagement director. “But fall is my favourite time of year and I make it a family challenge to keep the spirit of summer going by getting outside as much as possible. Whether it’s a hike, a swim or a long walk, scheduling time in nature amidst the likes of homework, music lessons and sports is good for the whole family.”

NCC provides Canadians with opportunities to go out and connect with nature, through its Conservation Volunteers program. This program allows people to enjoy and learn about nature while helping to care for and conserve some of Canada’s most important places.

“If you’re looking for activities that get you outside and give back to nature, we have lots of events taking place across the country throughout September and October,” says Erica.

Planting For those who love to garden, some volunteer opportunities involve planting. These efforts are intended to restore places like stream banks and globally rare tallgrass prairie by removing invasive plant species and planting native species.

For example, every Wednesday at the Cowichan Garry Oak Preserve in Duncan, BC, volunteers can help tend the endangered Garry oak ecosystem. Formerly the Elkington family farm, this NCC flagship property houses more than 100 species at risk. Volunteer efforts involve planting native species, tackling pesky invasive species such as Scotch broom and observing birds that inhabit the area.

In Kingsville, Ontario, volunteers will gather to lend a hand in efforts to restore areas on the Florian Diamante Nature Reserve on Pelee Island from to its former for-

est habitat. The island is home to more than 110 rare species, including blue racer snake, gray fox and yellow-breasted flat. Volunteers will plant native acorns, wildflowers, grasses and shrubs to help rebuild this rich habitat.

Hiking Strolling through nature is a great way to get out and take in the outdoors. Whether it is with your dog, a friend or family, hiking combines exercise with the environment. This fall, the NCC

has volunteer opportunities that allow people to give back to the land, one step at a time.

Volunteers in Saskatchewan are invited to join NCC for Trash Bash on the Asquith Property.

In order to maintain the beauty of this prairie, volunteers will hike through and dunes of Aspen forest ensuring the property is spick-and-span for the native plant and animal species that live there.

Birding You don’t have to be

a seasoned birder to partake in CV events designed to monitor the likes of shorebirds and song birds. Across the country, NCC offers volunteers of all ages opportunities to learn identification skills that will in turn help to count birds to ensure populations of imperilled species are well understood.

In the eastern regions of Canada, NCC is hosting several events designed to help people enjoy nature in the chillier months

while lending a hand to conservation. In New Brunswick birders are invited to help survey fall waterfowl on the Baie Verte wetlands.

Whether you enjoy brisk walks along a shore, spotting rare bird species or gardening, this fall the NCC is encouraging people to get out and take in nature.

She was the second born to, Ronald and Angela (nee Curtis) Mac Rae. They were truly blessed to receive her into their family, and felt from the first day that Amber was destined to touch many lives with her laughter and sense of humour. She was able to travel all over Canada with her parents.

Amber was blessed on July 25, 2008 to become a mother to her beloved daughter, Nakora. Amber had a very loving, caring, and humourous personality, and with these qualities was able to easily make friends and acquaintances and to touch many lives. Amber leaves to celebrate her life her parents, Ronald and Angela; her beloved daughter, Nakora; her five siblings, Kurt, Robert, Eric, Douglas, and Brittany. She will also be lovingly remembered and missed by many relatives and countless friends. A Celebration of Life service was held on Saturday September 12, 2015 from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #77 – Jubilee Hall in Yorkton with Reverend Doctor Peter Hay officiating.

Many of those gathered shared their fondest memories of Amber and listened to the special music selections of “Dancing in The Sky” – by Dani & Lizzy, “I’ll Be Missing You” – by Puff Daddy, “Daddy, I’ll See You Again” – by Westlife, and “The Rose” – by Conway Twitty.

Amber’s wishes were to be simply cremated and to have her ashes spread in the mountains of British Columbia overlooking a lake. She wished to be released into the wind and be free. Those so wishing to share their fond memories of Amber online may do so by visiting her memorial Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/906737969401302/ and may also donate in order to assist the family with additional costs and with the maintenance of Amber’s daughter, Nakora by visiting www.gofundme.com/r63nqhvg or on mobile: m.gofund.me/r63nqhv Rest In Peace Our Beautiful and Beloved Amber.
