A new home for Bick’s Drugs in 2022
Moving into newly constructed premises is always exciting, whether it’s a residential or commercial building. As owners of Bick’s Drugs, pharmacist Ron Bazin and his wife Tina anticipate moving into their new facility in the first or second quarter of 2022. The couple recognized the need to modernize to continually provide up-to-date, quality pharmacy care. “A new building was the most appropriate way to move forward in accommodating current and future pharmacy standards,” Tina explained.
Bick’s Drugs’ future home was built at the RTM yard of Voce Developments Corp. in Saskatoon. Voce Developments Corp. has renovated and built several pharmacies and other commercial and residential buildings throughout the prairie provinces. Tina said, “With their knowledge of pharmacy requirements and construction, they helped us plan and design our new building and provided the construction and contracting services for the project.”
Kerrobert Backhoe Services completed excavation and ground preparation before the building was moved onto the site. A new crawl space was dug, and
all-new utility lines were run, and a significant amount of groundwork was done to ensure the building and lot were level.
The new 36’x80’ building was moved from Saskatoon to Kerrobert in mid-October by Last Boys Building Movers. It’s now situated at 404 Atlantic Avenue, at Atlantic Avenue and Bosworth Street. Ron and Tina were hoping to be in their new accommodations by the end of December. However, the delivery of their internal furnishings was delayed due to the flooding in B.C. “As a result, we are looking at February for our earliest move-in date,” Tina concluded.

Local residents, Lori Zerr and Kimberly Wack are an example of people who wanted to better our community through a special project called “Secret Santa for Seniors”. Their idea will not only bring cheer to Seniors but to all those who participate in it and even those to hear about it (calls as far as BC have come in about it). Every time our community members speak positively or bring positive change to our community, it makes Kerrrobert a better place to live, work and play. Every positive word and project bring a chance to encourage others to move here, open a business here, donate to our projects, stay connected to their home community or start another positive project in this town. Every negative word does the opposite. As word of new of economic growth happen in our area, please know that your words and deeds do affect our community. December is a great time to give the gift of kindness through words, actions and deeds. Thank you to residents like Lori and Kim whose new ideas and positive actions make Kerrobert better.

I was at the historic Kerrobert Courthouse last Thursday to take some photos of the Festival of Trees. There are lots of speculation that the building is haunted ... lots of people won’t even go into the basement. I believe most ghosts must be friendly (picture Casper), so I ventured downstairs and snapped a few photos. This particular photo is of the janitor’s residence. Now, I’m not saying that there is a ghost in this photo, but I can tell you that it was overcast outside when the picture was taken. I have not edited this. That’s certainly a very bright light coming in the basement window. | PHOTO BY KATE WINQUIST Do you believe in ghosts?

Thecartoon shows Garfield holding open a door and saying “My door is always open, so feel free to leave.”
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation may feel like the federal government isn’t exactly opening the door and inviting them to come in to chat. Franco Terrazzano said the government is throwing freedom of expression under the bus, yet free speech is needed to hold government accountable. This may be why government is determined to, not only censor, but provide the definition of ‘harmful content’ online.
“What jumped out at me is what’s not included in the Throne Speech,” Franco said, noting the avoidance of any mention of the debt. “Not a single word was mentioned about the massive debt challenges we face in Canada.” That debt places every person on the

hook for $30,000 worth of federal debt.
Canadians are waking up to implications of this huge debt load. Franco gave three reasons why they should care, inflation being the first reason. “We’re all learning there’s no such thing as a free government lunch,” he said. The more dollars that are printed, the less those dollars will buy, which has an immediate impact on Canadians.
The second reason is that eventually that $30,000 per person has to be paid back, and how many Canadians have thousands of spare dollars on hand? The third reason is concern for the kind of financial bill we want to leave for future generations.
The solutions offered in the Throne Speech included $10 a day childcare and low income housing. “These expensive programs will throw more fuel on the inflation fire,” Franco explained. “This is being debt
financed. Meaning the cost is being passed from the parent on to the kids.”
He suggested the government could provide immediate relief by reducing the cash bill we pay at the pumps, but instead our Prime Minister is moving in the opposite direction in the name of climate change and reducing emissions.
“It’s been tough for the oil and gas industry during the last five or six years and the federal government has been making it tougher,” Franco said. He said the carbon tax is just a tax policy. “We need to take a global approach to emissions. Even if the government brought all our industries to a screeching halt, it wouldn’t do anything for the global environment.”
More wasteful spending comes in the form of the gun grab and buy back program. “Everyone wants Canada to be safe, but this is going to be ex-
tremely expensive and ineffective,” Franco said. It will end up costing billions, while the Mountie union observed it will divert resources from targeting crime to targeting law abiding Canadians.
In spite of all the pressing concerns of Canadians, the government continues to distract attention away from them. When MP Pierre Poilievre was asked how many of his colleagues have exemptions for vaccines, he responded, “Do you think I’m going to pick up the phone and distract from my work fighting inflation to call every member of parliament to ask them that question? You’re falling into the Liberal trap. They’re trying to avoid taking responsibility for the working class guy who pulls up to the gas station and only fills up a quarter tank because he can’t afford to pay the rest of the cost. They don’t want to talk about those people; they want
to talk about anything else.”
But what can Canadians do?
Doug Sharp, President of Canada Family Action suggested Canadians “support those in opposition that are willing to stand up. The degree that we tolerate compromise by the official opposition in our nation, is going to be a direct effect on how this story ends.”

Big deficit requires unpopular choices
BYMURRAY MANDRYK Political Columnist
The bad news in Finance Minister Donna Harpauer’s mid-year 2021-22 budget update was all too apparent.
This year’s projected deficit is now $2.71 billion — the largest such annual deficit in Saskatchewan’s 116-year history.
Spending is now a whopping $19.6 billion. That’s roughly $2.5 billion more than budgeted in the spring and a staggering $4 billion more than the initially planned for 2020-21.
Admittedly, we all expected a staggering deficit this year because sometimes, that is the government’s only choice.
Government cannot always be run like a business, as the old adage goes.
Mostly, governments are in the business of the broader public good that requires it to invest in things that that no profit-minded business would ever undertake. (This is a big reason why we have Crown utilities in Saskatchewan.)
Also, government isn’t just there to take care of the disadvantaged. Occasionally, others who are normally getting by need a bit of help because they have run into a bit of bad luck.
This happened a lot in the 1980s when drought required sizeable farm support programs and when high interest rates were the justification for homeowner support programs that morphed into home-improvement grants.
Sure governing is always about spending choices by government. And, as history surely tells us, governments don’t always make the right ones.
But other times like the current global pandemic, it’s been case of governing politicians thrust into situation where there has been few other options than run a deficits to support public needs.
It underscores three important realities:
First, in good years it’s important to pay down debt or create surplus rainy-day funds for the inevitability that bad years are likely to come. There was some modest debt-paydown in the early years of the Saskatchewan Party government, for which we should be somewhat thankful. Unfortunately, it was enough, and the idea of a Heritage
Fund largely based on surplus natural resources earnings didn’t get much past the discussion stage.
Second, in all years — good, bad and average — it’s critical to weigh all spending decisions appropriately.
The closer governments get to elections (especially elections expected to close), the worse their spending choices tend to be. This was evident in the last election with SGI rebates, but it’s always apparent. Consider the 2007 decision by the last NDP government to give all seniors free prescription drugs — whether they could afford to pay for their own drug costs or not.
And, third, while none of us like to pay additional taxes or additional fees, they are necessary because money has to come from somewhere.
This takes us to not only the reality outlined by Harpauer last week but what will be the likely consequences.
Harpauer noted the the larger deficit could be somewhat attributed to COVID-19 that’s caused a quarter-billion-dollar increase in Ministry of Health costs.
However, the Finance Minister was rather blunt in her explanation that the biggest problem was an additional $1.8 billion in crop insurance claims that resulted in a total indemnity forecast to $2.4 billion.
When you added an additional $293 million for the livestock support program, and it does appear she has a case.
This didn’t go over big with some farmers who saw Harpauer blaming them for the deficit.
In reality, all deficits are years the making — the result of past costly choices. Decisions like the Global Transportation Hub and Regina bypass are likely to haunt this government.
But Harpauer is not wrong to suggest that the crop insurance payments during this year’s drought were an expected unexpected problem. Nor is it unreasonable to think higher premiums will be needed to address them.
The budget is a problem for farmers, but it’s a problem the rest of us share as well — whether we like it or not.
This deficit has be to dealt with.
Local pharmacy has served Luseland for over a century
JOAN JANZEN
Your Southwest Media Group
Luseland has had a pharmacy since 1910. The first owners were R.M. Wright and Mr. McPherson, followed by O.M. Peterson and Mr. Minnis. Pharmacist Tom Eyre took over the Luseland Drug Store in 1930 until 1960. During that period the Village of Luseland, with a population of 600, was incorporated as a town in 1954.
From 1961 to 2001 the pharmacy was owned by Donovan and Beverly Einarson, who moved to Luseland from Melfort. Donovan was a pharmacist and his wife Beverly was a nurse; they called their business Luseland Pharmacy Ltd. Additions were made to the building in 1967, at which time the pharmacy was awarded a liquor franchise, as well as additions taking place in 1977.
Brenda’s dad had also studied veterinary pharmacy as part of his degree, which is why the pharmacy had veterinary supplies and medications on its shelves. As more space became available, health and beauty products, giftware, greeting cards, toys and magazines also were sold.
Brenda and her siblings grew up in the pharmacy, so it wasn’t surprising that she chose to follow in her father’s footsteps, becoming a pharmacist as well as a business owner. After a twenty-year absence from her hometown, she and her family returned to Luseland to take over the family business. At
that time her parents had been operating the business for 40 years.
“Previous to moving back to Luseland I lived at Outlook for 14 years. I married and had my four daughters while there, working for Co-op Pharmacy. The opportunity to own my own business and live in my home town where my parents resided was what drew me back to Luseland,” Brenda said.
In 2013 she purchased the former Delta Co-op food store, conveniently located next door to Luseland Pharmacy. This much larger location, allowed for the expansion of the pharmacy.
During her years of ownership, Brenda has been blessed to have twelve faithful and dedicated employees. “Relationships with people in the pharmacy are one of the aspects of having a small town pharmacy that I enjoy the most. They are friendships that I don’t think a city pharmacy enables to the same extent,” she said.
Much like Brenda’s childhood years spent
in the family pharmacy, her daughters grew up working in the pharmacy. “Luseland is a wonderful town in which to raise a family. Besides the amenities Luseland offers, the safety here is freedom,” she noted. As adults, two of her girls worked at the pharmacy right up until it sold, in spite of having other careers.
The business was taken over by the new pharmacist/owner, Vivek Raviya on August 1, 2021. Raviya moved to Luseland from Edmonton, and is pleased to have Brenda as a member of the staff.
“Working part-time has relieved me of the large work load of running the business. I’m enjoying working this way and yet still seeing people,” she concluded. Although there have been many technological changes that have revolutionized the pharmacy business, Brenda is happy that “what remains the same is relationships with people”.

Saskatchewanians love their Riders’ gear
Having spent a couple of days as a spectator at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon while Canada’s best curlers were trying to win a trip to Beijing in February for the Winter Olympics, a couple of astute observations need to be expanded upon:
— If the Saskatchewan Roughriders did not exist, many thousands of Saskatchewan people would have absolutely nothing to wear. As for headwear, one of approximately every two hats worn by curling fans in the stands had the ‘Riders logo emblazoned on the front.
— Maybe it’s a law of the Flatland that not only is ‘Green is the Colour’ the Roughriders’ fight song, but it’s also a basic way of apparel life if you live between Kindersley and Fleming; Estevan and Uranium City.

— Winnipeg native Matt Dunstone, who now officially curls out of a club in Regina but lives in Kamloops (not sure what he has against Alberta), was the most popular curler among the rabid Saskatchewan fans (he was wearing a green sweater, naturally), and when he beat Bottcher Wednesday night to improve his record to 1-5, there was a thunderous roar in the building similar to one following a winning overtime field goal by Riders Brett Lauther.

Greg Bahm
— Saskatchewan people are definitely some of the nicest on earth, but that’s hardly news. Departing the parking lot after each draw of the Curling Trials might have been an exasperating and frustrating experience, but the courtesy of drivers — “please sir, go ahead” — the vast majority of them Saskatchewanians, made it a relatively pleasant experience.
Jaden Thiessen
— Canada may not exhibit world dominance in curling as it did 15 or 20 years ago, but the talented rinks wearing the Maple Leaf on their backs in China in February, skipped by Brad Gushue and Jennifer Jones, will do our country proud.

— Tim Hortons is a solid sponsor of curling — of sports, in general — in Canada, and those TV ‘Timbits of Wisdom’ commercials featuring Sidney Crosby and the young boys put a smile on my face every time. The meaning of life? “Just have fun!” Of course.
— Two of the rinks ranked as favourites going into the Trials, Rachel Homan of Ottawa on the women’s side and Brendan Bottcher of Edmonton for the men, both performed like they were struggling to get into seventh place in the Delisle Curling Club Thursday night league.
