Taking a local stand against bullying

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton Partnership Against Violence Committee and Canadian Red Cross recognize that bullying is a problem in schools, and want help put a stop to it. Together with the Grade 4, 5, 7, and 8 classes at Yorkdale School,

they held a Moving Forward, Stand Up to Bullying event, which featured a walk, balloon release, and presentation

by Keith Shologan from the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Melanie Horton, with the Red Cross and the Partnership Against Violence Committee, says that the event is about getting awareness out about bullying,

and why it needs to be stopped in schools. She says that the event is tied in to National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, and that people need to realize that victims of bullying are victims of crime.

Kids at the school all also received a pink shirt. Cheryl Tiller with Parkland Victims Services explains that the pink

shirts are worn to bring awareness to the problem, and the campaign is why the Red Cross was a partner in the event.

“It’s important that the kids get to see people from the community coming in and talking about something that is real.

Tick season full swing, province urges caution As the weather warms up, the Ministry of Health is reminding residents to take precautions to reduce the risk of coming into contact with ticks while enjoying the outdoors.

There have been occasional sporadic cases of Lyme disease reported in Saskatchewan, including one case likely acquired in Saskatchewan in 2011. Lyme disease is potentially carried by the blacklegged or “deer” tick which currently makes up only .03 per cent of the tick population in the province. Most Lyme

disease cases are related to travel to another province or country where Lyme disease is more common.

Ticks are found in tall grass, brush or wooded areas throughout southern Saskatchewan. The great majority of ticks are the American dog tick or “wood tick”.

“Throughout Saskatchewan there is a slight chance of being exposed to Lyme disease primarily through contact with blacklegged ticks that are transported by birds,” says Entomologist and Provincial

West Nile Co-ordinator Phil Curry. “The province maintains a surveillance system to monitor all the different types of ticks and tick-associated diseases in the province.”

Tick bites occur most often during early spring to September.

“When in areas that have ticks, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, enclosed shoes or boots,” Saskatchewan Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab adds. “It is also recommended to use insect re-

pellent containing DEET and stay on paths to avoid contact with overgrown brush when hiking.

“Also, when returning from outdoors people are advised to do a daily “tick check” and regularly check children and pets after they have been outside in risk areas. If any ticks are found, people should remove them carefully.”

The first symptom of Lyme disease is usually a circular or “bulls-eye” rash. People are encouraged to consult a physician if they have a history of a

tick bite and have symptoms of Lyme disease. Sometimes a physician may recommend treatment even before the test results are available because it can take up to one month after exposure for a person to test positive.

For more information on the risk of Lyme disease in Saskatchewan, symptoms, precautions and tick removal, and information regarding testing for physicians, visit the Ministry of Health website at www.health.gov.sk.ca/ lyme-disease.

Community garden continues

Funds for health THE HEALTH FOUNDATION and GX94/FoxFM Radiothon had another successful year, bringing in $97,160 for new ultrasound equipment. Pictured above, Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation, and Angie Norton, General Manager of GX94 and FoxFM, announce this year’s total.

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Spring is here, so now it’s time to start thinking about gardening. The Community Garden Alliance is getting ready for this year’s growing season, and recently held an information night for people interested in getting involved and helping the project grow.

Fred Schneider with the Community Garden Alliance says the event was about letting people know what’s happening this year with the garden, and sharing their vision for the ongoing project.

“It’s very low cost, because we have the land, and we have some of the tools you need. It creates a community, because there will be other people working in the plots. Plus, it has a mission focus, because part of the food that they grow will go towards the Soup Haven and the Food Bank... This is a place where people can learn, people can give, people can form community,” Schneider says.

This year, the group has also received $3,000 from Tree Canada to plant trees in the area. Schneider says that the plan will see many fruit trees and shrubs planted around the garden, and they are working with Tree Canada to plan and select trees that will do well in the climate. Schneider says that it’s still early in the plan, but the grant will allow many trees to be planted.

The group is also moving forward with the Grown ‘n’ Share program, which connects people with fruit trees who are unable or unwilling to harvest them with volunteers who are, with portions going to the owner, the volunteers, and the Soup Haven and the Food Bank.

Schneider says that the project is growing its second year, and the people involved right now are excited about getting things planted and helping out.

He says people can get their own plots or help the communal space in the garden, and that it’s something which gets better as more people get growing and helping each other.

The Community Garden is located at the Yorkton Alliance Church on Allanbrook Drive. People interested in learning more or getting a plot in the garden are invited to call Schneider at 783-4266.

Palliative Care Week Submitted by the Sunrise Health Region As it has in previous years the Sunrise Health Region is recognizing National Hospice Palliative Care Week – May 6-12.

The week is intended to raise awareness about end-of-life care and the services that are offered in that area.

Hospice palliative care is “whole-person care” that aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of living and dying for people with progressive life-limiting illnesses and their families. It affirms life and regards dying as a normal process. Those who are dying require skilled endof-life care and support and families also need help providing care as well as support in coping with loss and grief during illness and bereavement.

Hospice palliative care is appropriate for any person and/or family living with, or at risk of developing a life-limiting illness due to any diagnosis, with any prognosis, regardless of age. At any time they may have unmet expectations and/or needs and are

prepared to accept care.

Hospice palliative care is most effective when delivered by a team of healthcare professionals who provide sensitive and skilled care to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of both the person and the family.

The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) is a national association and voice engaged in advancing and advocating for quality endof-life/hospice palliative care in Canada.

Established in 1991, its volunteer board of directors is comprised of hospice palliative care workers and volunteers whose work includes public policy, public education and awareness. CHPCA works in close partnership with other national organizations and will continue to move forward with the goal of ensuring that all Canadians will have access to quality hospice palliative care for themselves and their families.

Radiothon brings in almost $100,000

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The annual Health Foundation and GX94/FoxFM Radiothon had another record-breaking year, with $97,160 raised for new ultrasound equipment for the Yorkton Regional Hospital. The two day event, held on April 23 and 24, launched the campaign for the new equipment.

Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation, says the success of the event is a great launch for this year’s campaign. He notes that there were 34 businesses which donated $1,000 or more to the cause, and that it grows every year.

The machine itself will be about $250,000, and Fisher says it’ll be essential for offering new services and reducing wait times for tests.

New this year were McDonalds and the Yorkton

Co-op participating in different ways. McDonalds gave a dollar from different food items sold on April 24, while the Co-op gave ten cents per gallon of gas.

Fisher says both promotions were successful.

“McDonalds came in at about $1,000 and Co-op came in at about $5,100. That means people caught the show and it bumped sales for both of them, Co-op was up close to 25 per cent, and that’s good,” Fisher says.

Angie Norton, General Manager of GX94 and FoxFM, says that the event is something they’re proud to be involved in and something they want to see grow well into the future.

“It’s important for Harvard Broadcasting to be a contributor to all of the communities we serve. Each year everybody needs access to healthcare, if we can make our healthcare better in the Sunrise Health region then we’re totally behind that,” Norton says.

Fiddle champion brings tribute to Yorkton

By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer He’s the two-time winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, the two-time winner of the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championships, AND was named Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the Year and soon Scott Woods will be in Yorkton, bringing with him a high energy show that won’t disappoint.

From Fergus, Ontario he says, “I’m the youngest of four... My dad started a band when he was about 12 years old and the band has continued ever since.” While it has evolved and changed up members over the years, that same band continues to today except Scott is at the helm.

“In fact that’s how my mom and dad met. My dad hired my mom as a piano player when she was just a teenager. They hit it off, got married and had four kids.”

When he was four, his older siblings were already playing the fiddle and that’s when he began taking lessons.

Lessons and playing continued and it was in the mid 80s when Scotts dad encouraged him to take over leading the

band. He stayed on as management and Scotts mom remained on the piano. She still play with Scott today.

“We’ve continually operated since 1944...”

With the changeover in members Wood’s nephew joined the band.

“He plays bass, he can play just about anything.

We were all kind of the same when we were growing up. If there was no bass player that night and we needed a bass player then that’s what we had to play. We learned all the instruments.”

The trio is joined on stage by 17-year-old step dancer, Kyle Waymouth.

“He plays bass for us but he is also a champion step dancer... it’s kind of a cross between step dancing and clogging... he’s a real hit. He goes about 100 miles an hour with his feet when he gets fired up.”

Wood and band were last in Yorkton about five years back with a tribute to Don Messer show. This time he has a fresh performance, filled with old time fiddling, dancing, tricks and plenty of humour.

“This year’s show is called Fiddle Legends.

It’s kind of the same idea. We’re honoring fid-

CANADIAN FIDDLE Entertainer of the year, Scott Woods will be in Yorkton May 14 with a special tribute show called Fiddle Legends. dlers who’ve come before and inspired and in whose footsteps we’re following. People like Don Messer, Al Cherny,

Graham Townsend, Ward Allen...

“A lot of the great fiddlers... we’re playing tunes that they’ve com-

posed, tunes that they recorded and other tunes that maybe reminded me of them when I play the tune... It’s a very loving, humble kind of tribute.

We’re not imitating, we’re recognizing and honoring...”

The evening promises to be high energy, entertaining and a show for all ages.

Woods maintains there’s just no other instrument quite like the fiddle.

“It’s really tough to be in a bad mood when you’re listening to a fiddle tune,” he says with a chuckle. “And the tunes that we play are very melodic.

They are upbeat... you get that melody in your head and you’re tapping your toes.

We’re bopping around on the stage having fun. It’s just really happy, fun music.

“We mix it up. We play some Scottish tunes, some Irish tunes. We actually have a Ukrainian polka... big band, swing, country... we have a real variety... we do some gospel. At one point we have all three fiddles together in harmony. We do some two steps, waltzes... there’s a real traditional variety.

“It’s kind of like a Hee Haw type of show. If you

remember Hee Haw... we have a lot of fun. It’s maybe not quite as corny but it’s very much a funs show.”

And don’t forget the tricks. Anyone who is familiar with Woods will know what that means.

“My nick name has become the flippin fiddler... I do some tricks where I play behind my back with the fiddle and under my legs, I use a broom or a coat hanger instead of a bow. I walk on a barrel as I play Roll out the Barrel and I do a front running summersault like a flip as I’m playing... there will be tricks!”

It’s a show for all ages and for all people. “You don’t have to be a fiddle fan... It’s faced paced... it goes from vocals to step dancing, to instrumental, to humour... You can bring your grandparents or your grand kids and feel comfortable... It’s a community event.”

Scott Woods and his band will be in Yorkton on Monday, May 14.

They’ll be performing at the Royal Canadian Legion beginning at 7 p.m. For tickets call or stop by the legion or call 1-855-726-8896 to charge. Visit: www.scottwoods.ca for more details.

Taking the common sense approach: John Nilson

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The NDP’s interim leader John Nilson recently spoke at the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s Annual

General Meeting about this year’s provincial budget. Emphasizing that this province has “common sense solutions” to problems, he says that there are some areas where the prov-

ince needs to act in order to prepare for the future.

“When you don’t have a perspective of where you’re going to go, little things can get you down,” Nilson says.

One area which he says the government need to act is in highways. He says that as the province is growing, there needs to be plans to twin highways that are becoming more heavily used. He points to highway 10 between Yorkton and Regina as a highway that needs to be twinned in the future, as it sees a larger traffic load between the two centers.

“We can all see the economic activity that is happening here, and that is happening in the potash regions, and that’s something we have to do,” Nilson says.

He also says there needs to be a more ambitious approach to doctor recruitment and school expansions in areas which are seeing growth and an increased amount of economic activity. He says planning well ahead on this front is “smart growth,” and plans need

JOHN NILSON, interim leader of the NDP, recently spoke at the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s Annual General Meeting to speak about the recent budget in the province.

“We can all see the economic activity that is happening here, and that is happening in the potash regions, and that’s something we have to do.”

– John Nilson to happen to keep ahead of the growth. Keeping on that theme, he says he was further disappointed when there were no capital projects approved for municipalities, because with growth these projects need to happen.

He also says that the government needs to do more consultation with people involved in different areas before decisions are made. Pointing to the end of the Enterprise Regions, changes in the way Tourism Saskatchewan is run, and the end of the Film tax credit, he says these were changed without any consultations, and they will have a negative affect on the people involved in what those programs do.

Nilson also says that the plan to increase the number of MLAs in the province by three is an unnecessary increase in

seats, and not a logical change. He notes that the number of people represented by the average MLA is among the lowest in the country, and that means there’s no need for an increase.

Finally, he thanks the people of Yorkton for the support for the Jimmy’s Law bill, the private member’s bill directed at making workplaces safer for overnight workers. He says that it’s a good cause and that they are working hard to protect people working at night.

Rental housing funds flourish Housing shortages have been plaguing the province as it continues to grow but there’s another initiative in the works that promises to help.

The Government of Saskatchewan has launched a new Corporate Income Tax (CIT) Rebate that is expected to add 10,000 new rental units to the province by the end of 2016. Funding for the new rebate is estimated at $34 million for the first five years of the program. This initiative is expected to increase the overall, purpose built rental market by 29 per cent.

“We heard consistently from the housing sector that the current corporate income tax structure is a barrier to the development of rental housing,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation June Draude says.

The new tax rebate effectively reduces the provincial Corporate Income Tax (CIT) rate on a corporation’s eligible rental income from the 12 per cent general CIT rate to the two per cent small business tax rate. The tax rebate is earned each year for a period of up to 10 consecutive years after eligible residential units become available for rent and the eligible corporation submits the appropriate documentation to receive that year’s rebate.

Eligible rental housing must remain as rental housing for the duration of the rebate period. The non-refundable 10 year rebate will be provided to eligible corporations whose sole purpose is the rental of eligible newly developed multi-unit rental housing in Saskatchewan.

While this won’t solve all that ails the Saskatchewan housing industry it’s another step in the right direction to ensuring comfortable, affordable housing is an option for all of the province’s residents.

Pull over grandma, the jig is up First off I have to say, this is NOT a knock against all our ‘guys and gals in blue.’ I happen to know, like, and respect a lot of the police and RCMP members I have met over the years. After all, they are only doing their jobs. But with that said, what was up with that blitz last week?

I understand it’s intended to be about safety but why do events like this feel more like a big money grab?

Last week in Yorkton – and apparently across much of the nation – there were big traffic blitz’s held. RCMP were EVERYWHERE, both patrolling the streets as well as teamed up at a variety of locations watching drivers and pulling people over “at their discretion.” Also to be noticed were officers in disguise strategically placed so they could radio ahead to other officers if they happened to notice a driver “up to no good,” although cell phone users and non-seat belt wearers were said to be the main targets. In Ottawa reportedly, there were even officers dressed up as panhandlers. Once the disguised officer catches a distracted driver, they radio partners in nearby patrol cars who then pull the driver over.

Clever...

There’s no question distracted driving is not a good thing and yes drivers should know better.

And I suppose if you get pulled over and you’re obviously breaking the law, well then you deserve that ticket but a set up like this for cell Shannon Deveau “blitz” phones and seat belts just seems a little nit picky and underhanded if you ask most of the general public (many of whom took the time to share their thoughts with me).

Grandma gets caught “rolling” through the stop sign and gets a hefty fine while on the other side of the town kids are stunt driving and the local corner store could be getting robbed. Hmmm...

When all of your police enforcement is marked out at obvious locations, what about what’s happening where they notably are not?

As I said, distracted driving IS dangerous. It causes needless accidents and I can understand we need to curb the tendency but there are a lot of bad things that happen where police attention could be focussed.

Are we really making the most of our resources by resorting to measures like this? Or seriously, is this really more of a cash grab?

The way I see it...

Column

Let them send texts, but in a controlled course Everybody wants people to stop texting while they drive. Teenagers especially are prone to doing stupid things behind the wheel, and as a result are more prone to do something such as break out the phone when they are behind the wheel. As a result, many of the campaigns are established to scare teens straight, by showing accidents caused by distracted driving.

I don’t think this is going to work, because in the back of a young person’s mind there’s always that idea that while people in ads might be unable to text and drive at the same time, the teen is an expert and totally able to handle both activities. They know better, because they have this glorious misplaced confidence that comes with being young and on the cusp of being an adult. Sure, they usually get some sense when they grow up, but they are a difficult to reach because they have a belief in their own infallibility.

The only way to reach them is to crush that belief, and I’ve got a pretty good idea of how you pull that off.

This idea comes from a Belgian ad campaign aimed at preventing texting on the road, which is very well executed but still suffers from being an ad campaign, and thus probably less than convincing for regular teens who think they’re smarter than everyone. It takes a driver instructor, on a closed course with only pylons and cardboard to drive into, and an average

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger teenage driver. The driver is told they are required to send a text and avoid an obstacle, and none of them can actually pull it off. This is great, because it’s a safe way to learn your limitations. Nobody is going to be seriously injured on the course, it’s cheap to execute, and it gets the message across. So, instead of an ad campaign, this should be rolled into actual driver training courses.

It’s a bad habit you want to stop early, and you want to get people to realize that it makes driving more difficult. So, you have to give them a real life example of why they can’t text and drive, and the only way to do that is to force them to text and drive, just

in a controlled and safe environment. All you need is an open lot, some cones and a car that nobody will object to being scuffed and scraped. Here, we’ve got a big lot by the Gallagher Center that could be used, cones are easy to come by, and it’s not hard to find an old car, either through a dealer sponsorship or just buying an old heap. Set up a course, tell the kid to either bring their phone or supply one, and let them go. Watch as they plow through all the cones on the course and actually realize that it’s not safe driving.

SGI could be a sponsor, and film the results for an ad campaign of their own if they wish. It wouldn’t be very expensive, most of the components could be used each year for the following driver’s education class, and it would be the only way to get through to the more stubborn habitual texters.

A lot of time is spent trying to scare kids into proper driving behavior, but it’s a difficult group to reach. With an example of them failing at the task on a controlled course, you’re going to be much more likely to actually reach them. It’s difficult to say “well, that guy might not be able to text and drive, but I’m able to” if all of your friends have seen you plow through the cones when attempting it. If we’re going to curb distracted driving, this is the best way to pull it off.

Rejection of funding a threat to prosperity Marketing to social To the Editor:

Canadian universities spend $10 billion annually on research.

While the federal government is the largest “external” funder at $3 billion, the bulk of the funding comes from provincial taxpayers who pay professor salaries, many of whom devote much of their time to research.

Individual philanthropic support provides only a small portion of university research funding. And, given York University’s recent rejection of a $30 million offer ) to establish a school in international relations, that’s unlikely to change any time soon.

This is a sad outcome for York, but the reasons behind their rejection of Jim funding from Balsillie’s Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) underline a much more disturbing governance dysfunction that pervades virtually all Canadian research universities.

Three weeks before the York rejection, the Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee of the 66,000 member Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) served notice of a motion to censure York University, the University of Waterloo and Sir Wilfrid Laurier University in relation to cooperation agreements with CIGI. CAUT Executive Director Jim Turk defended his union’s censure motion by asserting that “CIGI has no business at the table deciding what areas the (research) chairs will focus on and who will be hired”.

This begs the obvious question: If those with the vision to develop and sponsor such a program have “no business at the table”, then who does?

Clearly, York’s executive leadership was firmly in support of the CIGI proposal. York Provost

Patrick Monahan stated, “We believe that this initiative held tremendous opportunity and promise for the university. We also believe that . . . we had developed an academic governance framework that would have provided strong protection for academic freedom and institutional autonomy”.

So who killed this generous and promising philanthropic initiative? Taking their cue from the national union, dozens of York professors argued that the proposal would threaten “academic freedom”. On April 2, the university’s law school faculty council voted against it and the following day York Administrators caved in to their professors’ vote.

Faculty councils aren’t just opposed to outside funders having input on hiring and research decisions, they’re opposed to university presidents and provosts making such decisions without their approval. They also have veto power over the creation or termination of teaching programs.

Moreover, in their personal employment, tenured professors can pretty much do whatever they want. They are free to do research on practically any subject, resulting in vast quantities of research relevant only to their personal academic interests, with little or no chance of creating material economic or social value.

Many professors prefer to focus on research and dislike teaching, often sending their graduate students to teach those lowly undergrads. And when professors do teach, salary and promotion decisions are largely unrelated to the quality of their classroom work.

How can it be that, in the

name of so-called “academic freedom”, those appointed to lead our publicly-funded universities are rendered impotent by their own employees? And where else in the private or public sectors do employees decide who else is hired and what the organization delivers, while being free to spend most of their time doing what they choose?

In the aftermath of the York rejection, internationally known author Thomas Homer-Dixon, CIGI Chair of Global Systems at the Balsillie School of International Affairs wrote, “protection of academic freedom... won’t be any stronger because neither CIGI nor Mr. Balsillie threatened it in the first place. But we can be sure that wealthy individuals... will now think twice before they contribute financially to Canadian universities.”

This is not only a travesty against a person whose only motivation was to strengthen our country’s international relations expertise in a complex and rapidly changing world, but a dreadful signal for the future prosperity of our country.

The latest available data published by the Conference Board of Canada shows that, despite spending the highest share of GDP on government funded university research, Canada ranks second last in the G7 for the number of patents per capita. A big reason for this poor performance is the lack of research collaboration between universities and the private sector.

But how can that happen when the private sector has, in the words of CAUT’s Executive Director, “no business at the table”?

Scrutinize Glencore: investors – standby!

To the Editor: I noted real concern (maybe even a glimpse of anger) on the face of Premier Wall last week as he talked to reporters about the foreign takeover of Viterra, and troubling reports about the past business behaviour of the proposed buyer, Swiss-based Glencore corporation.

This would be a $7-billion transaction to control Canada’s biggest grain-handler and one of Saskatchewan’s largest corporate citizens.

While Glencore would keep and run many of Viterra’s current operations, it would also flip

some of them to Pioneer Grain (Winnipeg) and to Agrium (Calgary). The involvement of Agrium and Pioneer is reassuring, but questions persist about Glencore.

When news of this transaction broke in March, I noted that Glencore was a hard-nosed international commodities trader, little known in Saskatchewan, but no stranger to controversy globally. Since then both Maclean’s magazine and the BBC have issued further reports.

Questions swirl around the company’s contentious founder who fled from US authorities in 1983. While he appears

to be long-gone, Glencore remains engaged in aggressive, high-risk/highreward operations in several developing countries and news reports allege dubious labour and environmental practices.

Mr. Wall said such conduct would not be acceptable in Saskatchewan. Both provincial and federal governments need to thoroughly examine whether this type of player is indeed a “net benefit” to Canada.

Governments also need to review whether Glencore’s promise of a “North American headquarters” in Regina is substantive and enforceable, or merely sym-

bolic. As well, what’s the impact of this deal on competition in grain handling and the farm supply business.

The agreements between Viterra and Glencore no doubt stipulate heavy penalties if either side fails to conclude this deal. But it could still be ruled deficient or undesirable by regulatory authorities.

And that might leave room for new investors – for those who might want to build and sustain world-class Canadian agri-business leaders and champions.

Salvation Army announces Canada Speaks

To the Editor:

For the second consecutive year, The Salvation Army is announcing May as Dignity Month, and is releasing a report, “Canada Speaks 2012: Mental Health, Addictions and the Roots of Poverty.” The report reveals perceptions and attitudes among the Canadian public about individuals dealing with addiction or suffering from mental illness.

The survey of more than 1,000 Canadians, conducted in February

by Angus Reid Public Opinion, revealed that many Canadians have been personally touched by the issue, with 80 percent reporting that they have either a friend or family member who has experienced men-

tal illness and/or addiction. Due to this surprising number, many Canadians empathize with those that suffer from either mental illness and/or addiction and are looking to the government and social service programs to provide additional assistance to these individuals and their families.

Key findings from our report include: • Most Canadians recognize the linkage between mental health and addiction with 71 percent agreeing that “a lot of people with addictions have mental health problems.”

• 80 percent of survey respondents reported their belief that mental illness causes many Canadians to experience poverty.

• 87 percent of respondents be-

lieve that mental illness should be a higher priority for the government.

• 84 percent of those surveyed think that there should be more services to help people with addictions.

The Salvation Army provides direct, compassionate, hands-on service to more than 1.7 million people in Canada each year, restoring hope and dignity to the most vulnerable in society. As an international Christian organization that welcomes everyone, The Salvation Army’s faith motivates its mission to serve and to treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Last week I had the pleasure of working with some rural Saskatchewan credit unions on digital marketing and social media.

It occurred to me social media might not even be appropriate. Are credit union customers and prospects from these towns even on social media? This required some investigation.

Some basic facts come into play almost immediately. Almost everyone, urban and rural, has access to the Internet in Canada.

Statistics Canada reported in the 2010 Canadian Internet Use Survey “In 2010, eight out of 10 Canadian households (79 per cent) had access to the Internet. Over one-half of connected households used more than one type of device to go online. About 81 per cent of households located in census metropolitan areas and 76 per cent of households located in census agglomerations had home Internet access, compared with 71 per cent of households outside of these areas.”

So over two-thirds of rural dwellers have access to the Internet. So far so good.

With Internet comes email, so we can safely assume at least email marketing has potential in rural areas. But what about social media?

A few years back I was working for a client that was interested in reaching folks in Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek B.C. I assumed people in those towns would be mainly on dial up. The client’s research told us otherwise. Approximately one-third of the populations of these two towns reported being on social media in 2010!

A few other facts help orient us to the reality of social media marketing in rural areas. First, almost half of Canadians over the age of 18 are on Facebook - 16.3 million accounts at last check. A quick check in the Facebook ad-booking wizard tells me there are 3,420 Facebook users in Fort Nelson over 18. By comparison the Fort Nelson News newspaper reports gross circulation of 2,600. By that standard, Facebook compares favorably as a potential advertising medium, although small town newspapers remain a critical part of any retail marketing mix due to their continued prominence in their communities.

Dawson Creek has 7,800 Facebook accounts whereas Friday circulation of that paper is 2,100 copies. Similarly, Biggar Saskatchewan (population 2,300) has 1,100 Facebook users, Unity has 1,240, Shaunavon has 920, Dauphin Manitoba has 6,900, Winkler has 5,060 and so on and so on. These numbers are for the towns themselves. If you include a 50-mile radius (Facebook doesn’t do metric) to approximate a trading area, the numbers go up dramatically.

Conversely, I had a very difficult time finding more than a handful of people from these towns on Twitter, which makes sense as North American Twitter penetration is generally estimated at 15 to 18 per cent.

In the case of Biggar 15 per cent of 2,300 people is 345 people so that’s about the best reach you might expect. You could reach more people yelling loudly at the hockey game or curling rink.

Nailing YouTube use down to a particular geography is nearly impossible, but anecdotally it seems everyone with Internet and therefore email shares and uses video.

Given these data, social media is an appropriate part of the marketing mix for small town businesses. It would, however, be an add-on to newspaper advertising and other time-honored techniques. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a bad marketing move, so Facebook and YouTube videos, with some email marketing can enrich traditional marketing but not replace it.

Close Cuts campaign officially kicks off

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The last Satur in May sees many people in the community become bald, as Brayden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer sees people shave their heads to raise money for cancer research. The campaign recently had its kickoff.

Leone Ottenbreit, organizer for the event, says that the event has raised over $580,000 over its 14 year history, and this year they’re just hoping that they can continue to raise money for the cause and help people with the disease.

“It’s about awareness, it’s about supporting people who are suffering with cancer, and honoring those who have lost their lives,” Ottenbreit says.

She says it’s an event they wish they wouldn’t have to do, but since an increasing number of people are affected by the disease, efforts to raise money and fund research have to continue. Ottenbreit says that for her family, it will always be about their son Brayden, who lost his life to the dis-

ease, but that everyone who participates knows someone who has been affected by the disease.

Jon Tieszen’s hair became significantly shorter, though he didn’t shave it off completely. He grew his hair long in order to have enough to donate for a wig, and raised $550 for the cause.

“I’ve had my hair long for 10 years or more. It was time to shorten it up, but my wife and I decided to grow it out for Close Cuts. I actually grew it out extra long just so we can cut it off,” Tieszen says.

“It’s about giving somebody what they need. I can give mine back, someone else who is less fortunate can benefit from it.”

Tieszen encourages anyone with long hair to donate it to the cause.

Those who want to participate can go to the Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer Facebook group, visit their website at www. braydenscutsforcancer. com, phone 783-2637 or email closecuts@sasktel.net. There will also be pledge forms available at the Canadian Cancer Society office.

BRAYDEN OTTENBREIT’S Close Cuts for Cancer launched on the weekend, with Jon Tieszen seeing his long locks getting donated to help make wigs.

Health Foundation/ISC teach people to run

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer With the Health Foundation’s Charity Road Race happening at the end of August, it’s time for new runners who are interested in the event to be brought up to speed and start training. That’s why the Learn to Run clinics were created, and this year they are expanding, and have a new sponsor with the Information Services Corporation (ISC).

Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, explains that part of the reason for picking up sponsorship for the clinics is the expanded focus. The beginner clinics will remain a major part of the program, but there will also be clinics for those looking to run 10k or half-marathon lengths.

Bernie Wlock, who runs the clinics, says the clinics are designed with beginners in mind, with a ABOUT BULLYING – Saskatchewan Roughrider Keith Shologan recently spoke to the students of Dr. Brass school about the problem of bullying in schools.

Shologan is working with the Red Cross to spread an anti-bullying message to schools across the province.

slow ramp up to get people able to run the distance which they choose.

They focus on the skills people need to go a long distance, such as proper breathing, stretching and how to pace themselves. He says there are many benefits to the clinics for new runners, from getting healthier and finding new people to run with.

“By the time people finish the clinics, they’ve run the race. Just to see so many glowing faces after they run 10km or 5km for the first time with a group of people, everybody’s keyed up and happy. It’s all positive energy. The road race is an amazing thing to watch,” Fisher adds.

The clinics are growing every year, Fisher says, as people discover running and tell their friends and family.

“Through ISC’s Community Investment program, ISC is very happy to support the Health Foundation,” says Bethune.

“ISC gives 1.5 percent of net income back to the community, focusing on activities and nonprofit organizations that support life events, Saskatchewan growth and Saskatchewan history. This event fits in perfectly with our corporate goals, and helps us to do something very positive for people.”

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, May 3, 2012 - Page 7A

Responsible resource development – the plan When Areva Resources Canada proposed to construct and operate a uranium mine and milling facilities in northern Saskatchewan, the company estimated that the project would have a capital investment of up to $400 million. They also noted that the project would create up to 200 jobs during construction and 80 jobs during operation.

But Areva encountered a 19-month delay in starting its Environmental Assessment (EA). Not only that, the lead responsibility for that EA changed from one agency to another midway through the review, adding more complexity and lengthening the project’s timeline.

That’s just one example of the flaws in Canada’s current review system – a maze of rules and reviews that have been introduced piecemeal throughout the years. Not only has the system delayed major projects like Areva’s, it has set back and added review costs to thousands of minor projects such as a temporary hockey rink, the construction of a building to wash blueberries, and installation of a vital culvert, also in Saskatchewan.

Strong economic growth in our province and across Canada depend on a solidly efficient regulatory system. But for too long, economic development has been held hostage to job-killing regulations that do nothing to protect our environment. Our Conservative Government is doing what’s necessary

Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column

by Garry Breitkreuz to correct that.

The 2012 Economic Action Plan on Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity, presented in the House of Commons on March 29, 2012, committed to reforming the regulatory system in the resource sector. Why? Because it’s in every Canadian’s best interest for the government to foster responsible resource development.

Proposed changes for Responsible Resource Development include: • Making reviews for major projects more predictable and timely; • Reducing duplication and regulatory burden; • Strengthening environmental protection; and • Enhancing consultations with Aboriginal peoples.

The changes will see the government working more closely with the provinces to streamline the review process and focus our regulatory system on the projects that matter – major projects that may have environmental impacts and need to be studied.

As well, additional resources will go towards ensuring the environment is protected. The number of pipeline inspections will increase, and new guidelines applied to tanker traffic off Canada’s coasts.

Praise for the government’s actions came from Pam Schwann, Executive Director, Saskatchewan Mining Association, speaking just after the introduction of the budget in the House of Commons on March 29, 2012. “…(A) more efficient and accountable process contained in today’s Federal Budget Address will instill investor confidence in moving development projects forward in a timely and predictable manner.”

Wise and timely development of our natural resources throughout our country will benefit all Canadians through jobs, growth and the needed dollars to keep important programs like health care, education and pensions. It will also protect the irreplaceable environment that sustains us all.

Further details on Responsible Resource Development are available at www.actionplan. gc.ca.

The farmer is trained and moves on: part three Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training.

This is the third of a series on the move from farm to Hazel Dell.

Our bed had now been moved to Hazel Dell, so it was time to start moving the birds and horses over.

My wife had been stopping by our old place on the way to work in the morning to do the chores, and also on the way back from work in the late afternoon.

Me, I would do my insurance business and work around our new home, including making supper.

However, my wife had a day off work, so we decided to get another load of stuff from our old farm, including the layers.

We have some special plastic moving crates for birds, and figured we could take ten in one, and eleven in the other including “Ole Hane” the rooster. My wife would use an old net fish catcher to collect the birds, and then we would stuff them squawking and flapping into the crate. It went fairly smooth until she caught the rooster. We had forgotten that “Ole Hane” is intimidated by the hens.

I think the hens tell him what to do and where to stand, and it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “henpecked!”

He sort of cooperated until we opened the flap on the crate, and then saw all the chickens! He curled up and flapped his wings so hard that my wife lost her grip, and he took off.

He ran around the farm yard squawking all the while. Trying to catch him proved impossible. We finally gave up. The last

we saw of him he was heading towards the creek where the coyotes congregate, squawking: “Look at me! I’m free! Pick me! Pick me! Not KFC!” I’m sure he became a tasty dinner for a hungry coyote.

The stand with the pails that we use for nesting boxes were cleaned of chicken poop and loaded

as well. Of course the feeder and the stand including the waterer had to come along also, and let’s not forget the heat lamps, which I had to pull down from the ceiling. We left the gate to the chicken coop yard and the entry flap to the henhouse open, in the faint hope that “Ole Hane” would decide to

come home. He never did.

Then came the setting up of the feeder and the waterer at Hazel Dell, as well as hanging the heat lamps now that we have power to the hen house.

We gathered some straw from an old bale behind the pump house, and spread the straw around on the floor and in the

nesting boxes. We gingerly carried the transport crates into the coop, and opened the flap.

Most of the birds were curious enough to get out, but some had to be gently persuaded. After they all got out, they gathered in the farthest corner of the hen house for a meeting.

The leader of the flock,

STARS FOR SASKATCHEWAN – It’s the last performance of this year’s Stars for Saskatchewan series in Yorkton. On Thursday May 10 the Saskatoon Children’s Choir will be performing in the city. The Saskatoon Children’s Choir was founded in 1996 by its present Artistic Director, Phoebe Voigts. In the 16 years since its inception, the choir has developed an international reputation for artistic excellence, creative performance practices and their commitment to humanitarian initiatives. Through an international repertoire, with imagination and courage, the choir draws attention to issues of global concern. They have appeared on choral stages in Europe, Asia, the United States, across Canada, and, in the summer of 2011, they returned from their South Africa performance and humanitarian tour. The choir collaborates frequently with other artistic ensembles. They have performed as guest artists with the Canadian Chamber Choir, Prairie Virtuosi and the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. They have also accepted invitations to appear on Canada Day in Ottawa, in the pre-concert performance in the National Arts Centre Orchestra Western Canada tour and at the 2007 Juno Awards. Recording credits include four compact discs, a DVD, and performances on national and international radio and television broadcasts. The choir performance will take place at the Anne Portnuff Theatre beginning at 8 p.m. For tickets or details call the Yorkton Arts Council at 783-8722.

kicked on the floor to call for order, then a brief discussion ensued, the content of which I can only guess at, but probably something like “where is that dumb rooster!?” And more than likely followed by a motion to continue without him, as they felt he was a useless ball of feathers that only occasionally did his duty and when he did, it was under duress. They all squawked their consent and dispersed.

An old farmer went to town to see a movie. The ticket girl asks him what he has on his shoulder.

The old farmer said: “That’s Chuckie my pet rooster. Wherever I go Chuckie goes.” “I’m sorry Sir,” said the girl, “we cannot allow birds in the theater, not even a pet rooster!” The old farmer went around the corner, stuffed the rooster down his pants.

He returned to the ticket booth, bought his ticket and went inside. He sat down next to two retired nurses named Mildred and Marge.

During the movie the rooster started to squirm.

The old farmer unzipped his pants and Chuckie stuck his head out.

“Marge,” whispered Mildred. “What?” asked Marge.

“I think the old man next to me is a pervert!” said Mildred.

“What makes you think so?” asked Marge. “He unzipped his pants and has his thing out!” whispered Mildred.

“Don’t worry about it,” said Marge, “at our age it isn’t anything we haven’t seen before!” said Marge.

“Well,” said Mildred, “this one is eating my popcorn!”

The gift of volunteering: rewarding and meaningful It will depend on where you are in your grief journey, but at some point you may feel the need to get out of the house and redirect your pain. I encourage to you to do something productive and meaningful through the gift of volunteering.

Doing volunteer work is a great way to keep busy while you are grieving.

You will offer help to others while helping yourself heal.

Using your own experiences, talents and hobbies you will be able to help others. You will feel a sense of great accomplishment, a feeling of satisfaction and self worth.

Working with others eases the loneliness and sadness felt after the loss of a loved one. This loneliness is very often difficult to overcome. You

may even feel alone in a crowd of people. In volunteering you can create an outlet for helping others as well as a great healing opportunity for yourself.

In April we celebrated National Volunteer Week. Did you know Saskatchewan has the highest rate of volunteers in Canada? It is close to 60 per cent of our population in our province that does some type of volunteer service. They use their time and energy to help others. People of all ages can volunteer in schools, hospitals, care homes, food banks and countless other facilities.

Most organizations would not exist without volunteers.

Often newly bereaved people are the ones who are looking for an activity to help others while

by Margaret Anne Yost helping themselves. By reaching out to others you redirect your own sorrow. Keeping busy at home or outside the home will help keep your mind occupied. I encourage you to focus your attention outside of your own grief. You may be ready to establish a new routine in your life. This new routine may continue long after your grief has diminished.

You, the grieving are standing on holy ground.

You know what grief

feels like. You are one who truly understands the grieving process. You are the best person to help others who are grieving.

When you are ready, it will feel good to reach out to others who are suffering the pain of loss. You will have a great deal to share with others who are suffering: you can identify with their struggles and pain, empathize with their sorrows, doubts and fears, as well as offering valuable

assistance and support.

Giving of yourself as a volunteer enables you to pursue your own personal interests, polish up on old skills and learn new ones, and make a positive impact in your community. No one is too old or too young to give the gift of volunteering.

Spring camp shows some top talent

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer AAA midgets age players were strutting their stuff in an attempt to catch the notice of Yorkton Harvest coaching staff at the annual spring camp at the Gallagher Centre, Farrell Agencies Arena over the weekend.

Yorkton Harvest head coach Jeff Odgers says the camp had a great turnout with 110 players turning out for the spring camp. “That includes the veteran guys from last year,” he notes. The camp was very competitive which made for some tough decisions for Harvest staff, Odgers states.

The spring camp, basically an identification process, will possibly see two or three players signed and guaranteed a place on the team. In addition a number of players who show promise will be invited back to the fall camp for another chance to win a place with the Harvest.

The three day camp saw six teams do some skills like skating backwards, scoring, shooting, four on four drills, to give coaches some idea of player skill levels Friday.

Saturday followed with a round robin tournament with each team playing two games.

Sunday saw three championship games, A, B and C side played, Odgers reports.

A couple of apparently high

spirited players chose to drop the gloves during the weekend. While the Harvest doesn’t promote fighting, Odgers suggests there was nothing wrong with it. The boys ages 15 to 17 years, who have lots of energy and ‘go’, may have wanted to prove a point and get noticed. “That’s part of the game,” Odgers says.

The fall camp is usually around the second weekend in August. Players in the fall will be identified at the spring camp. As well players who may be released from other teams around the league and/or returning veterans will be evaluated at the fall camp.

The Harvest has five openings for defensemen and a minimum of four on forwards, Odgers reports.

Additionally three or four players attending junior camps are questionable returnees. “The challenging part of AAA Midget hockey is the Western Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League all get first choices at your players,” he points out. The league develops young players. “You want to see them go on. That’s what they come to AAA midget for but at the same point it makes it hard with us being able to sign only 20 guys. It makes decisions in the fall pretty tough,” Odgers closes.

THE YORKTON HARVEST SPRING CAMP at the Gallagher Centre, Farrell Agencies Arena attracted 100 hockey hopefuls seeking to win a place on the bench for the upcoming season.

Another sellout for Football Night in Sask.

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer It was another sellout crowd at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre as Yorkton Minor Football (YMF) hosted the sixth annual football night in Saskatchewan.

The day offered local area youngsters a cheer leading clinic and a lineman camp as well as the evening banquet and program.

The event is a major fund raiser for YMF which has grown exponentially over the past six years, says YMF president Roby Sharpe.

Minor football in Yorkton started with the Kinsmen Tackle Football League. The local league initially rented equipment from the Regina Minor Football League for its players for $10

for each set of equipment. The local Kinsmen Club bought the helmets.

Kinsmen tackle football continues to run in the spring each year, Sharpe notes.

Players only pay $40 to play football in the spring. “It’s unheard of. You can’t do that anywhere in the province for $40 due to the generosity of the Kinsmen and events like Football Night in Saskatchewan,” Sharpe points out.

YMF plays in the fall. Players ride to games in Regina on a Westerhaug bus.

They play on the big field. “We still have the grassroots Kinsmen Spring League, but we play in the Regina Minor Football League too,” says Sharpe.

YMF has helped both local high school teams to develop players. “If you remem-

ber 10 years ago the Yorkton Regional High School couldn’t get a win. And now look at the Sacred Heart Saints.

Both those programs are competing and winning at the highest levels in the province,” Sharpe points out. He ascribes the improved performance of both school teams to the generosity of Yorkton fans who support Football Night in Saskatchewan and YMF. Speakers at the event were Rider quarterback Darian Durant and former YRHS Raider Gridder Jordan Matechuk.

A number of Saskatchewan Roughrider players, including those working at the linemen football camp, were in attendance.

Yorkton Springers host provincial championships Yorkton Springers win four provincial championships

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer The Yorkton Springers Gymnastics Club hosted a provincial championship meet at the Gallagher Centre Flexihall over the weekend.

Saturday afternoon saw national level athletes competing in all four disciplines, including men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics, trampoline and tumbling as well as rhythmic gymnastics, reports Springers coach Todd Appel.

Potential 2016 Olympian Jayd Lukenchuk from the Taiso Gymnastics Club was a featured competitor as were national senior men’s gymnasts Ander son Loran and Trevor McArthur who got his start in Yorkton. National trampoline and tumbling athlete Dennis Oppenlander was also competing.

The Yorkton Springers Gymnastics Club had 16 Provincial Levels 1, 2 and 3 athletes competing at the meet, says Appel.

The girls did very well as Brittany Schofer claimed first all around in the Provincial Level 3 for a provincial championship.

Cassidy Stackowich finished second all around in the Provincial Level 2 class. Springers gymnasts swept first place in the Provincial Level 1 division with provincial champion Brynn Jarvis claiming first place in the Argo class, Jenna Schofer also claimed first in Tyro for another provincial title while Shalyssa Brown won first in the Novice Class to claim a provincial championship too, Appel reports. “All the Springers girls in Provincial Level 1 came in first all around.

It was a clean sweep,” he sums up.

The meet wraps up the season for the provincial stream of competitions says Appel. The club will attend one more meet, a team competition in Prince Albert May 12.

“It’s a more relaxed, fun environment and they get to compete, not individually, but as a team,” he points out.

The provincial compe-

tition in Yorkton was sanctioned and over seen

by Sask. Gymnastics.

Most of the work organizing and running the meet was done by Jessica Ronn and Tanya Nystrom with the help of Yorkton parent volunteers.

Appel says it was a good year for Springers athletes who put in a lot of hard work. “They handled themselves professionally in competitions throughout the year. It was nice to see that they all did very well at provincials. They peaked at the right time,” he closes.

Coach Jessica Ronn says she’s pleased with the performance of the local gymnasts. In all categories, Springers competitors placed in the top 10 or better, Ronn reports.

With provincials out of the way, the athletes will work on learning some new skills, Ronn notes.

At the Team Cup competition in Prince Albert May 12, a relaxed, fun competition, the girls will be able to showcase some new skills they have learned and to compete at a higher level than the past season.

“The girls have worked hard on routines this year and had a good year,” Ronn closes.

Meet results for Yorkton Springers gymnasts were: Provincial 1 Novice – Shalysa Brown, first (gold 49,300); Jayden Jarvis, second (47.850); Emily Zajac, fourth (47.250); Alison Landstad, eighth (46.100); Meaghan Pinno, ninth (46.000); Laura Betker, 10th (45.700).

Provincial 1 Tyro – Jenna Schofer, first (gold, 47.950); Bryn Nystrom, second (47.850); Sidney Shyiak, fourth (47.050); Jessica Gascho, sixth (46.400); Hayley FayantSte ph ens, seventh (46.050. Provincial 1 Argo – Brynn Jarvis, first (gold 48.200).

ProvinciaL 2 Open – Cassidy Stackowich, second (47.850); Hannah Herman, seventh (46.300). Provincial 2 Tyro – Sierra Cook, ninth (47.800). Provincial 3 Open – Brittany Schofer, first (48.250).

ECD Jr. and Sr. badminton playoffs hosted by YRHS

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer

YRHS ATHLETE Darren Tillman won the Boys’ Singles title Monday afternoon.

The Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) hosted the first of two East Central District (ECD) badminton tournaments this week. Monday the ECD senior high school badminton playoffs were played in the YRHS gym with about 64 competitors battling for a berth at the regional competition. Two top finishers in each division of boys’ and girls’ singles, boys’ and girls’ doubles and mixed doubles advanced to regionals at Notre Dame Saturday.

The top two finishers at regionals advance to provincial play in Melfort Saturday, May 12.

In order to qualify for district competition schools played off in four pre-district tournaments, explains district badminton commissioner Shawn Redmond. They included York City (YRHS vs SHHS), Melville vs Esterhazy, Invermay vs Langenburg and Timberlake vs Kamsack.

The ECD encompasses all schools in the Good Spirit School Division, Christ the Teacher School Division as well as all the band schools in the area, Redmond adds.

Both YRHS and Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) had teams entered in each division, seeking to represent Yorkton at the regional tournament.

Tournament results were: Girls’ Singles – 1) Brittany Brenzen (YRHS), gold; 2) Brandey Blahut (YRHS), silver; 3) Kelsey Schultz (MCS), bronze. Girls’ Doubles – 1)

Brianna Ostafie/Eilish Stranaghan (SHHS), gold; 2) Jasmine Kerr/Sarah Fiske (Esterhazy), silver; 3) Jessica Palche wich/Breanna Popoff (Canora), bronze.

Durant, Thies part of Football Night in Sask. program Continued from Page 15.

Among the guests were several local football notables like Daniel Benner, currently an offensive lineman with the Winnipeg Rifles, Rob Zerr, former captain of the U of S Huskies, Allan Kyle, the Nehring brothers among

others. “There are all kinds of old football guys here and it’s just nice to see them all out tonight,” Sharpe says.

He suggests Yorkton is simply awesome in its support of YMF and its programs. All local businesses seem so accommodating and generous which makes Football Night in Saskatchewan

possible. “It’s such a great night which is made possible by our businesses and people kicking in and being so generous,” Sharpe closes.

Former Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) and Saskatchewan Roughrider Trailblazer cheerleader Brittany Thies was in Yorkton Saturday to conduct a cheer leading clinic with area youth in conjunction with the annual Football Night in Saskatchewan celebration.

It was the fourth annual Raider Gridder Alumni Cheer Clinic, Thies reports.

The event, which teaches funda-

mentals of cheer leading, had about 50 girls take in the clinic this year.

While the clinic program remains the same from year to year, this year the event offered two tiers and one routine. Participants learned some stunts and did some dancing, Thies adds.

Participants were six to 12 years old. “It was the best group that we’ve had. The girls were so attentive and they loved every moment of it,” Thies suggests.

Thies is currently teaching in Regina but says she would love to come back home in the next couple of years.

Yorkdale Royals sweep YESSA city championships

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer It was a sweep of epic proportions. For the first time in the history of the Yorkton Elementary Schools Sports Association (YESSA) one school swept both the boys’ and girls’ city titles in the wind-up championship tournament.

YESSA president Mark Schendel says schools began preparing for the season in February. The teams opened the regular basketball season the first weekend in March, he reports.

This year the six participating schools fielded 16 teams, eight boys and eight girls teams.

Both M.C. Knoll and St. Michael’s Schools had so many youngsters coming out for basketball, both had two teams of each girls and boys.

The city wide tournament was a three day event taking place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week at M.C. Knoll, St. Michael’s, Columbia and Yorkdale Central School as well as the Gloria Hayden Commun ity Centre.

Schendel thanks the host schools and the Gloria Hayden Staff for offering their facilities for the tournament.

Some 250 young athletes were involved with the season ending event, Schendel reports.

Both championship final games at M.C. Knoll and St. Michael’s featured a repeat match up with the Yorkdale Royals boys squaring off against the M.C. Knoll Knights and the Yorkdale Royals girls taking on the M.C. Knoll Knights girls.

Schendel also expresses his appreciation to the schools for running canteens during the tournament, to spectators for taking in the action and cheering on the players, to coaches who put in countless hours before school, at

noon and after school, and to the athletes.

The amount of growth the young athletes have shown over the past three months is amazing, says Schendel.

Basketball programs at local high school will benefit from the training and experience the kids picked up in the YESSA program, he suggests.

Schendel also thanks the officials for their work. The YESSA program is a developmental program for both athletes and officials who will be involved in officiating games at the high schools in the future. “We’re not just developing basketball players, we’re developing officials as well,” Schendel notes.

When the dust had settled the Yorkdale Royals girls claimed the win and the Yorkton city wide championship over runners up M.C. Knoll Knights while the Yorkdale Royals boys’ team won the boys’ city wide title over runners up M.C. Knoll Knights.

Royals coach Jason Boyda says the secret to success this year was having awesome athletes and a great assistant coach. The team went undefeated all season, Boyda notes and swept the tournament with 10 consecutive wins.

Coach Boyda says the Yorkdale boys are fantastic athletes. This was the first championship for the boys since 2001-02, he notes.

YORKDALE ROYALS 2012 CITY WIDE GIRLS’ CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM includes: Front row (l-r) Kennedy Stephanow, Jayden Friesen, Jessica Lutz, Shelby Speight, Leah Fleger, Roma Zulyniak, Isla Bymak.

May 6-12 MotorCycle Safety Week in Saskatchewan With the motorcycle riding season underway for the 2012, the Saskatchewan Safety Council and RCMP “Depot” Division are proud to team up to promote the safe and responsible use of motorcycles on Saskatchewan roads.

As part of the partnership, the Saskatchewan Safety Council will be able to use “Depot” Division’s outdoor training track to hold motorcycle training courses from May to September. The Council’s Motorcycle Training Program is designed for riders of all levels and helps participants develop control skills and riding techniques necessary for the demands of urban traffic.

“This is a unique opportunity for everyone involved,” says Barry Muir, Chief Motorcycle Instructor with the Saskatchewan Safety Council.

“Depot’s training track is an exceptional site for participants of the motorcycle course to learn on. It is incomparable to anywhere else in Canada.”

According to Assistant Commissioner Roger L. Brown, Commanding Officer of RCMP “Depot” Division, “This partnership with the Saskatchewan Safety Council reinforces the engagement of the RCMP to promote safe communities. We are very pleased to be a part of this collaboration as Saskatchewan’s motorcyclists will not only gain significant knowledge but also best practices on road safety.”

Educating the public on motorcycle safety is a priority for both the RCMP and the Saskatchewan Safety Council.

According to SGI, there were 286 collisions involving motorcycles last year on roads throughout Saskatchewan.

Muir comments that while riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating experience, it is also an incredible risk if you are not trained to handle dangerous situations or to ride your bike properly. “Working with the RCMP to raise awareness about motorcycle safety for both riders, as well as driv-

Future Olympic hopeful competes at provincials in Yorkton

By ALEX MORGOTCH N-R Writer A young gymnast from Saskatoon competing at the recent provincial championships in Yorkton has a connection with the city. Teague King, grandson of Ray and Karen Thies of Rokeby, and son of former Yorkton gymnast Tamara King (nee Thies).

The 15 year old Grade 10 student started training at the ripe old age of three. Over the past 12 years he’s developed into a promising gymnast who is looking forward to national and international competition.

King, who trains about 20 hours a week, admits his training does cut into his social time. But, he doesn’t mind putting in the time in order to achieve his goal of representing Canada at the Olympics someday.

King’s coach says the young gymnast is dedicated, has a strong

Teague King work ethic and shows a lot of promise. He has an opportunity to compete in Europe and at

the Pan-Am Games if he continues to work hard and develop at his current rate.

ers of other vehicles is a necessary step towards reducing the amount of motorcycle-related collisions that happen each year,” he says.

The Saskatchewan Safety Council, along with RCMP “Depot” Division and SGI will be recognizing May 6 to 12 as Motorcycle Safety Week in Saskatchewan. The week is held each year to raise awareness about the importance of being safety-minded when riding a motorcycle. It also helps to raise awareness for other road users who often unintentionally ignore motorcyclists because of their small size. Motorcycle dealerships across Regina will be offering special safety-related discounts to their customers in support of the week.

Customers will also have the opportunity to enter the draw at any of the participating dealers for a chance to win a free registration for the Council’s Motor cycle Training Program.

The week will also feature RCMP Collision Reconstructionists from

around the province who will be focusing their efforts on reconstructing real-life motorcycle collision scenarios and tests at “Depot” Division’s training track in Regina. The information gained will help with training purposes, as well as assist investigators in better understanding how and why the collisions happen and how they might be prevented in the future.

Every once in a while with growth comes closure. In this case the closure is Chan's Grocery at the corner of Broadway and Gladstone.

Chan's has been at that some location as the corner store for longer than most people have been around these parts.

City records show that the application for the Permit to Build the store was dated July 21, 1947 was signed by J. Kunysh, at an estimated cost of $6,000.00.

Then as Yorkton grew and the need for more space was present there was an addition to the store was made Sept. 9, 49. Cost $3,000.00.

When we checked the 1952 Henderson’s City Directory we found that #182 Broadway West, was the site of then KUNYSH’S GROCETERIA, John A. Kunysh, proprietor & wife May. City records then indicated that application for a permit to add to & alter a suite upstairs on April 5, 1954, estimated cost $5,000.00, that process started by Mr. Kunysh. Another addition was made In 1959, and more improvements in 1964.

There were several owners of the facility over the years but it always remained a corner store. In April 18, 1974 –Jack Kwong took the place over followed by Phillip Ng in Jan. 1976.

But it was on June I, 1977 Ronnie Chan and Kay. H. Chan took over the building, 35 years ago and called it Chan's groceteria and with some alterations and additions we have what we see today.
