The Yorkton Tribal Council is helping out with the evacuees from northern communities. They are cur-rently accepting donations to go to people forced from their homes due to the fires still burning up north.
The YTC is currently accepting all kinds of dona-tions, including food, person-al hygiene products, baby items, non-perishable food items, gift cards, new under-garments, blankets, clothing and childrens toys and books. Tribal Chief Isabel O’Soup says that the most urgent need is grocery items, includ-ing canned goods, baby for-mula and diapers. The need for food is urgent enough that they are considering going door to door in order to get food.
“We’ve been talking about doing a canvass of Yorkton, where people can donate one can of dried goods, just one can. We could go door to door, because while I wouldn’t drive down here to donate one can, if we knock on some-one’s door they might.”
The YTC Social Committee has also given a cash dona-tion of $3,000 to the cause, and is challenging business-es to do the same. She says their donation went to baby needs, things like formula and diapers, and she expects that it has already been used to feed the children who need it.
“I’m sure that lasted one day.”
While O’Soup says that there are no evacuees in
Yorkton itself, to her knowl-edge, she says that we know what a natural disaster can do when it hits, and that’s why it’s important to sup-port the people who need it now.
“I thought about this because when the City of Yorkton flooded a couple of years back, it was a crisis for Yorkton. Even though it was a water situation, fire is the
same thing, a natural disas-ter.”
The first week of dona-tions has been delivered to Beardy’s First Nation. O’Soup says that their goal is to bring resources to the people who need it most, and the decision to deliver to Beardy’s was driven by the need to give to the people with fewer resources. Having heard that Beardy’s was
really struggling to meet the needs of evacuees in that community, they decided to deliver there.
The YTC will accept dona-tions as long as the fires are burning. If that means they have to continue until snow-fall, as some people are pre-dicting might be required, then that means they will find a way to continue their support. They thank SIGN
for giving a place to collect donations.
“We’ll be here if we’re needed, we’ll help any way we can.”
To that end, anyone with something to donate can con-tact Jeannie Elnarson at the YTC office at (306)782-3644. They will be willing to pick up any donations as well if someone can’t deliver.
Food most needed for northern evacuees
NORTHERN EVACUEES are in need of food and supplies, and the Yorkton Tribal Council is collecting donations to help out up north. Tribal Chief Isabel O’Soup shows some of the many clothes donated to the people who need them.

Connecting families is one of the goals of the Yorkton Family Resource Centre, and the Exploring Cultures pro-gram is one of the ways they accomplish this goal. The monthly events are about sharing differ-ent cultures with the community, and trying to
help people understand a bit more about each other and where they come from.
Kim Gelowitz, Early Years Facilitator with the Family Resource Centre, says that the evenings began as a way to engage people, start-ing with a South African night when the centre first opened.
The program is a part-
nership between the Family Resource Centre, Partners in Settlement and Immigration and KidsFirst. She says that the different agencies mean that they can get the word out to more peo-ple.
Many of the present-ers for the evening are families who use the cen-tre regularly, as they pre-pare the meal and share
information about their culture. Gelowitz says that the Centre works as a support, hosting, pay-ing for the ingredients and assisting with the preparation of the meal as they are able.
She says that with a recent Japanese night showed why they host the events. A woman from Japan who lives in Canora was able to meet
people and make connec-tions.
“She actually didn’t know any Japanese peo-ple around Canora or Yorkton... One of the teachers in town is mar-ried to a Japanese lady, we connected them here at Family Resource Centre and they offered to do a Japanese eve-ning. It has been neat to see how their friendship
has grown and that sup-port, and really that iswhat Family Resource Centre is about, buildingthose supports.”
The nights are grow-ing, and RBC gave a donation of $1,000 as well as plans for a futureevent. One of the upcom-ing events is going to be a Jamaican night, which

will be hosted by two RBC employees who want to showcase their culture and background.
“That’s what we want in Yorkton, to go full cir-cle.”
The next step is to start offering ethnic cooking classes, with plans for cooking classes becoming part of the pro-gram. Recipes have always been part of the program, and the ulti-mate goal is to have a Family Resource Centre cook book to showcase the different cultures in
the area.Gelowitz emphasizes
that the Exploring Culture events aren’t just for families with young kids, and everyone is welcome. She says it’s about connecting people, whether that means newcomers or people who have been in the area all their lives.
“We all want to learn about different people who have come to Yorkton and immigrated from other countries, and learn about those cul-tures.”
The Exploring Culture events are part of the
overall goal of the Centre, which is to provide sup-port for all families in the area. Gelowitz says that they exist to give people have a place to go, meet other parents and participate in a variety of programs for their kids.
“This is an initiative for all families. It’s not targeted families, this is for every family, we believe every family deserves support... When families come, there could be a doctor’s wife and there could be some-one who is struggling financially, and how much they have in com-
mon and how much they can work together, how we’re really very much the same, it doesn’t mat-ter about income. It’s nice to see that Yorkton’s been able to get rid of that stigma, we wanted families to know that there is support out there, and that you deserve the very best and your child deserves the best education.”
The next Exploring Cultures event will be in September, and Gelowitz says the current plan is to coincide with the Culture Days event in the same month.
Family Resource Centre explores cultures
EXPLORING CULTURES brings together different fami-lies to learn about a different culture once a month. The most recent night was a Dominican night, and the RBC Foundation donated $1,000 towards the program. Next Exploring Cultures night will happen in September.

He’s billed as Alberta’s country road trouba-dour, and the sound of Jake Ian’s music feels derived from the dusty back roads of his home province. He’ll bring that sound to Yorkton, performing at Joe Beever’s on August 8.
Ian grew into the old school sound that he developed, a mix of folk, country and blues that reflects the places and people he’s singing about. Ian says it was a sound he naturally grav-itated towards, and something that’s time-less entirely because it’s good.
“I grew up playing rock and roll and punk music, but things are classic for a reason... Old time instruments like a dobro or a pedal steel will always be great instruments, somewhere along the way I just enjoyed acoustic instru-ments as opposed to electric, I enjoy an organic sound and this comes through in the music.”
The songs themselves are rooted in the soil of
Alberta, and Ian says he’s still influenced by his youth and his family farm in central and northern Alberta, a place where the rest of his family still lives and works.
“I took a slightly dif-ferent path from the rest of the family, but I still like to sing about it.”
One of the traits of Ian’s music is specificity, he sings about places around him at home. He says that he’s proud of where he’s from, and the way that it influences his life and music, and if he’s going to mention a place it will be some-where that means some-thing to him.
“Why name drop a place that is not remote-ly close to us? Why not sing about places close to here and develop a niche like that? Guys like Lyle Lovett, he’s always singing about towns in Texas where he’s from... Why not sing about where you’re from?”
The most recent album, Ian’s fifth, were the strongest songs he had ever written, he says, which meant he felt the need to go all out
with the studio process. That meant drawing from a wide range of prairie musicians, such as Grant Siemens, best known for playing with Corb Lund, and the key-boardist and bassist from Saskatoon’s Deep Dark Woods.
Those groups fit in with Ian’s work, and he says that with the com-munity of artists who know and perform together it’s only natural that a Western Canadian sound is starting to grow.
“It’s a big area... but it’s still a small, close knit community. A lot of musicians play with each other and play on each other’s recordings. That lends itself to that sound. Back in Nashville in the ‘70s that’s the rea-son a sound developed, all the main guys were all the records, so it nat-urally developed its own sound. That has kind of happened in Western Canada, a lot of good roots music is coming from this part of the country.”
The tour is partially inspired by his pride in the album, Ian says, because he wants to
bring the songs to more people and spread it around as far as he pos-sibly can.
The tour has taken Ian from venues large and small, from playing at the Calgary Stampede to the Twin Butte General Store. Ian says that both have their pos-itives, but he likes the
smaller rooms. He says that he loves to play small towns because they don’t get the same amount of live music, so it means more to come through.
“I like playing small intimate rooms where people sit and listen to the words.”
Saskatchewan is a
place where Ian loves toplay, and he says it’s alaid back audience thatfits what he’s playing.It’s his first time inYorkton and he’s lookingforward to returning tothe province.
“The people arealways super friendlyand it’s a lot more laidback than Alberta.”
Jake Ian brings the sound of rural Alberta
JAKE IAN plays a mix of folk, country and blues inspired by living in Alberta. He’s bringing that music to Joe Beevers on August 8.

The Canadian Heroes memorial vehi-cle has been going across Canada, a roll-ing tribute to the Canadian military and the sacrifices they make on a daily basis. It was in Yorkton at the Painted Hand Casino and Yorkton Toyota.
Owner operator Don Fraser says he got involved because he thought the Canadian Heroes foundation was doing great work, and he could increase their representation in the west.
The not-for-profit organization builds awareness for the fall-en, for first line responders and does work building memori-als.
“I thought it was a great way to recognize sacrifice, to portray it and keep the memory alive.”
The truck has been on tour across Canada, visiting the families of Corporal Andrew Paul Grenon, Corporal Michael James Alexander Seggie, Private Chadwick James Horn, Captain Jonathan Sutherland Snyder and Corporal Michael Starker, all of whom were killed in Afghanistan in 2008.
Those men are also depicted on the back of
the truck, and Fraser also served with them during the conflict. He says the families have been happy to see the truck.
“It has been a roller coaster of raw emotion, up and down.”
For Fraser, it was a personal project, as he had a close connection to all five men on the truck. He says it’s been an emotional experi-ence, but a rewarding
one.“I kind of suffer from
PTSD, so it was thera-peutic in a way, and gives another way of dealing with it. At the same time, you’re giv-ing tribute and focus to those who paid the ulti-mate price.”
Fraser also believes that there needs to be reminders of what is still happening, and that it’s not just violent conflict that sees peo-
ple put their lives on the line for the people in this country.
“We’re still doing something, there are still guys overseas, and we have got to keep it in the forefront and keep people aware of what we are doing. It’s not just overseas, look at what we’ve got going in Northern Saskatchewan, we have 800 troops up there helping fight forest
fires,” Fraser says.“It keeps it there in
the forefront, and it is something that should never be forgotten.”
Now that he has vis-ited the families, the truck is now travelling to different events, including air shows and veterans events.
“We basically go non-stop from when the snow melts to when the
snow flies.”He says one of his
goals is to go to rural areas, where there are fewer opportunities tosee a tribute like this.For many people it is an eye opening experi-ence, and he likes totalk about why he’s doing it so they keep Canadian sacrifices at the forefront of their mind.
Canadian Heroes makes Yorkton stop
CANADIAN HEROES remembers those who have lost their lives serving their country, and the Canadian Heroes Memorial Vehicle 12, owned and operated by Don Fraser, was in Yorkton recently to help remember those who sacrificed their lives in the conflict in Afghanistan.

I grew up Catholic, and while I was not the most attentive child in the church and have not remained religious, I did pick up a few things from attending. There was a lot of stuff about forgiveness, repeated mentions of treating others as you would wish to be treated, a surprising amount about bread distribu-tion and a really great line about not judging peo-ple. Apparently either I was significantly more attentive than a lot of people who like to claim religious freedom or my childhood religion was using a different Bible from the one read south of the border. Refusing to sell baked goods to anyone is the complete opposite of what I retained from my distant church going days.
It has been a repeated refrain south of the bor-der, in the wake of the supreme court ruling on marriage equality, that people want to refuse to bake wedding cakes for same-sex couples. They argue that it’s an issue of religious freedom, they don’t want to have cakes for marriages they don’t approve of, saying it’s against their religion to con-done these marriages. Except, if one goes to the bible which they rhythmically thump instead of actually reading, it actually isn’t. It is explicitly stated, more than once, that one should show kind-ness to neighbors and a lack of judgement of their
choices. Whether or not you think same-sex rela-tionships are a sin is irrelevant, because it’s not your place to say. Judge not lest ye be judged, as the bible says, right in the book of Matthew. He was not specifically referring to the medium of cake sales, but it applies.
Also, quite frankly, if you believe in Jesus you believe in the equal distribution of baked goods. That was a man who loved bread, thought everyone should have plenty of bread, and shared bread as much as possible. One of the big miracles involved giving bread to thousands of people, bread has been a central point of the Catholic mass at a minimum. If we consider cake in the same class as bread, denial of cake is the most anti-Christian thing one can do, Jesus wants us all to share baked goods.
Even if same-sex marriage is not condoned by the church itself, the Bible is all about kindness and acceptance of the people around you. That means that while the church itself might not be able to host thanks to their various definitions of marriage, which are often specifically designed to encourage the creation of children, someone who doesn’t follow that religion is still your neighbour. Going by their own Bible, a Christian is supposed to be kind to their neighbours, whether or not they share the same religion or beliefs. Loving their neighbours is right there in Mark 12:31, and in Luke 10:27, and even in Leviticus of all places. A gay or lesbian couple is their neighbour, thus they must be loved, and allowed to buy a wedding cake.
Given that a guy who doesn’t even follow a reli-gion can prove, with little effort, that there’s a ton of evidence within the text of the Bible which preaches against the kind of discrimination that people want to do, why does it still exist? Unfortunately, people want to hate someone, and religion itself is used as a way to justify their own intolerance, because they need an excuse to be awful. Same-sex couples are couples like any other, and we should celebrate when they find happiness, not deny them dessert.

Canadians need help with retirement

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today condemned the Senate for shutting down before voting on Bill C-518, the Protecting Taxpayers from Convicted Politicians Act which would have stripped the taxpayer-funded pen-sion from parliamentarians convicted of certain crimes like theft and fraud.
“It is hard to think of a bigger slap in the face to Canadians,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Former Senator Mac Harb’s fraud trial begins in August. The expenses of 30 other current and former Senators are being reviewed by the RCMP following the Auditor General’s Report. Faced with a choice between protecting the interests of Canadian taxpayers, and pro-tecting their fellow Senators, the Senate chose the latter.”
Wudrick also noted that whatever the merits of proposed amendments, Senators were fully aware that because amended bills must be sent back to the House of Commons, which has already risen in advance of a fall election, the effective result would be to kill the bill and pro-tect those currently facing charges.
“Senator Harb is currently collecting a pension of approximately $122,000. If convicted, C-518 would have stripped him of it,” said Wudrick. “The Senate’s decision circle the wagons and pro-tect Harb and other senators by killing this bill ensures he’ll continue to collect for life regardless if he’s convicted or not.”
Wudrick also called on all major political par-ties to commit to introducing C-518 as a govern-ment bill in the next parliament.
“This bill was passed by a vote of 257-13 in the House of Commons. It is clear there is a broad, cross-party consensus on its objective. Senators protecting their own shouldn’t deter whichever party forms the next government from making this law.”
The CTF is Canada’s leading non-partisan cit-izens’ advocacy group fighting for lower taxes, less waste and accountable government. Founded in 1990, the CTF has more than 84,000 supporters and seven offices across Canada. The CTF is funded by free-will, non tax-receiptable contribu-tions.
When Canada’s premiers prepare met in St. John’s this week new data showed that most Canadians can’t afford to save more for retire-ment, and wouldn’t put any extra money into the CPP or QPP if they could.
According to a new public opinion poll con-ducted by Ipsos-Reid for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), almost sixty per cent of working Canadians report they can’t afford to save more than they already do. When asked how government could best help them save, only 18 per cent pointed to mandatory increases in CPP/QPP. A similar 19 per cent said they would voluntarily invest in the CPP/QPP.
“No matter how you ask the question, fewer than one in five Canadians supports putting more of their hard-earned money into the CPP or QPP,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “Premiers need to know that Canadians would choose to put any extra money for retirement savings in to TFSAs, RRSPs or private investments over any increase in CPP/QPP.”
If you had extra money to put towards your retirement savings, which of the following would
you prefer to contribute towards if given a choice? (51% responsded TFSA’s)
Canadian employees identified reducing gov-ernment spending and taxes (39 per cent) and creating new incentives to save (37 per cent) as the best ways for government to help. The same questions were put to small business owners, and again CPP/QPP hikes were ranked near the bot-tom (5 per cent) among options to boost retirement savings.
If a mandatory CPP/QPP hike were introduced, over one-third of Canadians say they would be forced to reduce spending on essential items such as rent or food. Two-thirds of business owners would be under increased pressure to freeze or cut salaries and over one-third report they would be forced to cut staffing in their firms.
”A mandatory payroll tax hike hurts every-one. It would be a significant barrier to economic growth and a job-killer,” added Kelly. “CFIB mem-bers do support allowing voluntary additional con-tributions to the CPP/QPP for Canadians who do favour it as a retirement savings vehicle.”

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, Junly 9, 2015 - Page 5A
To the Editor:
Listening to Stephen Harper talk about the economy, you get the distinct impression that someone else entirely must have been running the country for the past 10 years.
Since 2006, Canada has been stuck with the weakest economic growth record in eight decades. Most recently, our GDP has actually been shrinking - for four months in a row, maybe more. Growth forecasts for this year as a whole have been slashed by 25-30%.
Job creation is weak and sporadic. It mark-edly slowed in the second quarter of this year com-pared to the first, and the first quarter was barely mediocre. There are 200,000 more jobless Canadians now than just before the 2008 reces-sion.
That recession was milder than expected. It lasted less than one year and ended more than six years ago. But still, Canada has not recovered - and it’s all on Mr. Harper’s watch.
Job quality is at its lowest ebb in 25 years. Long-term unemploy-ment is increasing. Young people are especially vul-nerable. Incomes are largely stagnant (except for the most wealthy).
Household debt is near record highs. Inequality is getting worse.
Business investment is down. Manufacturing is in the doldrums. And Canada has just recorded five consecutive months of massive trade deficits - the worst ever.
This is Mr. Harper’s record. So what does he have to say? First he blames that recession six years ago. Then the Americans. Then China. Then Europe and espe-cially the Greeks. Canada’s troubles are always somebody else’s fault - according to him.
Mr. Harper looks rather pathetic taking the coward’s way out, denying all responsibil-ity.
Apparently, he doesn’t remember that period between 2006 and 2008 when he over-spent by three-times the rate of inflation, mangled the tax base, eliminated all the contingency reserves and prudence factors from the budget-making process, and put Canada back on the verge of defi-cits again - BEFORE there was any recession to blame. Mr. Harper made us vulnerable.
He doesn’t remem-ber squandering - in less than three years - a decade of balanced budgets, annual surplus-es of $13-billion and the strongest fiscal position
in the western world.He doesn’t remember
ignoring the warnings about failures in the US housing market and the American banking sys-tem which were about to plunge the world into that 2008 downturn. Mr. Harper denied Canada would be seriously affected, preached more austerity and promised loudly never to run a deficit.
He was wrong on every count.
And when he couldn’t deny reality any longer, he devised a stimulus program that was so mired in petty partisan-ship that it didn’t get started until after the recession was officially over. He followed that up with net federal tax increases in five consecu-tive budgets - including $10-billion in higher, job-killing Employment Insurance payroll taxes.
Mr. Harper under-mined the long-term federal financial com-mitment to health care and old age pensions. He under-funded public safety, emergency pre-paredness and national security. He down-grad-ed the country’s scientific capacity. He slashed fed-eral support for muni-cipal infrastructure and for summer jobs for stu-dents. He even clawed-back vital benefits from veterans and returning
soldiers.So now Canada is on
the cusp of another reces-sion, and Mr. Harper wants us all to believe that he bears no respon-sibility. Worse still, he wants us to accept the notion that we’re help-less and can do nothing about it. He refuses to consider any plan to replace his expensive and discriminatory tax breaks for the wealthy with sensible invest-ments in the true driv-ers of growth and jobs - infrastructure, higher learning and skills, sci-ence and innovation.
Mr. Harper is simply wrong - again.
You need look no further than the Bank of Canada. While the government insists on restrictive fiscal policies, the central Bank is going in the opposite direction, adopting a pro-growth stance by cutting inter-est rates. That’s the only tool the Bank has at its disposal and it comes with a significant down-side - it inflates consum-er debt.
That downside could be avoided if the Harper regime would stop con-tradicting the Bank of Canada, pull in the same direction and help drive real growth.

To the Editor:
Amalgamation always seems like a good idea. After all, we do it with municipalities in order, we believe, to prevent duplication and save money.
I don’t know much about municipal amalgama-tion, but joining forces for the same reasons has been suggested with something I do know about - pharmacare programs. Canada has at least 16 separate drug public plans - each of the provinces, plus ones for the RCMP, veterans, aboriginals and others, as well as hundreds of private drug plans.
Wouldn’t it also be easier - and cheaper -- if we just had one national drug plan?
Earlier this summer, at least eight provinces got together to discuss a national drug plan. I agree that cost-efficiencies, a better ability to negotiate drug prices and other economies of scale makes it a compelling idea. Yet, if done poorly, a national drug plan could be an utter disaster, characterized by waste, political coverage decisions and even more irrational and unsafe pharmaceutical use than we’ve got now.
Let’s take a major new drug to see how we might fare with a national drug plan. The diabetes drug Januvia (generic name: sitagliptin) globally earns about $6 billion per year for its manufacturer, Merck. It costs about $3.50 per pill in B.C. and lowers blood sugar on par with older, cheaper diabetes drugs.
Proponents of a national drug plan would assert that with the buying power of one big agency we’d negotiate much better prices for Januvia. Instead of paying $3.50 per pill maybe we could get it for $2 a pill, which is about what Australia pays seeing as it has national buying power. Sound good?
Of course, but only if Januvia had advan-tages over older, cheaper diabetes drugs. Sadly, independent experts say that drugs like Januvia are less effective than older diabetes medications.
For my tastes, the first priority of a national drug plan shouldn’t be price, but evidence.
If the best available evidence suggests that a new, more expensive drug like Januvia is in the “not better or worse than comparator drugs” cat-egory, you’d need strict rules in place to make sure the drug was only covered for the subset of people who can’t tolerate other diabetes drugs. You’d use the money you saved to expand coverage for drugs that are cost-effective so that more Canadians can be covered for high drug costs.
While taxpayers in Ontario and Quebec pay tens of millions a year for Januvia, the B.C. gov-ernment recently made a hard decision not to kowtow to lobbying pressure when it decided BC Pharmacare won’t pay for Januvia. Why? Both because there is little evidence the drug could extend the quality or the length of a diabetic’s life and the fact that Merck refused to lower the price to bring it on par with the other DPP-4 inhibitors. That’s the kind of spine that would be essential in a national drug plan.
Yet if you look at other federal health-related organizations (Health Canada, CIHR and CADTH) you will find little national spine. We have a watch-dog that doesn’t bite, a national health research funder that encourages Canadian researchers to “partner” with drug companies and a technology evaluator that takes money from drug companies in the form of ‘fees,’ thus making them beholden to the very industry they are supposed to assess.
Any national pharmacare program would need an absolute firewall to protect it from the inevit-able politics of drug coverage, otherwise you’d be left with even more irrational and expensive drug coverage decisions.
Municipal amalgamation and a national pharmacare program both sound great in theory. But in practice? While I am usually optimistic about doing things collaboratively and working for efficiencies, I’d hate to see Canada accidently create a national form of institutionalized drug coverage that can’t make hard, politics-free and evidence-based decisions.

Great in theory, not in practice
Harper is wrong once again
To the Editor:
From our great rivers to our soaring peaks, Canada’s rugged natural beauty has instilled a love of the outdoors across generations of Canadians. Yet the responsibil-ity to protect these treasures—and the opportunities they create for work and play—has been for-gotten during the Harper decade.
The Conservatives have refused to take meaningful action on cli-mate change, slashed environ-mental protections and cut fund-ing for science.
Their neglect has real eco-nomic consequences: as the global market for clean technology has grown, Canada’s market share has fallen 71 per cent.
We cannot afford to let this con-tinue. That’s why Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party have a com-prehensive vision to protect our environment while growing the economy.
Our plan starts with cred-ible action on climate change. A Liberal government will work
with provincial and territorial pre-miers on a framework that builds on their work to combat climate change. Federal funding will help implement the plan best suited to each province, not a one-sized-fits-all policy.
The weakened credibility of the environmental assessment pro-jects has paralyzed the develop-ment of major natural resource projects. A Liberal government will restore robust oversight and community participation to fed-eral reviews. Decisions will be based on facts and evidence, not cheerleading.
Around the world, companies are finding solutions to environ-mental problems and turning them into exports, creating good middle class jobs while reducing pollution. A Liberal government will support Canadian clean tech startups and invest in the develop-ment of innovative technologies for forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agriculture.
Liberals will make all our national parks free for children
and any adult who has become a new Canadian citizen within the previous 12 months, and to cele-brate Canada’s 150th birthday by making them free for everyone in 2017.
Finally, we will work with prov-incial and local governments to better predict, prepare for, and respond to weather related emer-gencies.
The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Admin istration, which supported Western Canada as it grappled with previous challenges to pre-cious soil and water resources, is a model of what can work.
Canadians no longer need to make the false choice between the environment and the economy. Mr. Trudeau’s plan will create jobs AND protect our environment.
Future generations are relying on us to get this right and uphold the legacy of Canada’s wilderness. It’s time for real change.

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer
The province is known as the land of the living skies, and as such we have the oppor-tunity to see many things if we look up.
That’s the inspira-tion behind Jim Huziak’s new column “The Universe in Your Own Backyard,” which will soon be running in the News Review.
Huziak says he’s been interested in astronomy for fifty years, saying that inter-est began as a young boy looking up at the sky.
The result has been a life-long hobby, and something he wants to share with people.
“When you do it that long, you pick up stuff whether you like it or not.”
The idea is to show that there’s not a lot needed to enjoy the night skies in the area. Huziak says that it’s about exploring the night skies from home,
and he says you can see a lot just going outside on a clear night.
“You don’t need big equipment, you don’t need observatories and you don’t need to go somewhere special. The whole point is to try to get people interested because there is a lot that you don’t even notice that you can see.”
It’s a hobby, but one that can have a real impact, Huziak says, whether someone wants to do it for their own entertainment or get involved with greater scientific study of stars.
“Astronomy is kind of odd... It’s probably the only science where amateurs can partici-pate and gather data. With astronomical data, probably more comes from amateurs than comes from pro-fessionals.”
It has been a quiet year so far for events, but Huziak says there have been a few inter-esting ones that recent-ly occurred. For
instance, Venus and Jupiter were within half of degree of each other, something which rarely happens. Right now is also the best time to see Saturn in the sky.
“My wife says that just one look at Saturn is what made her inter-ested in astronomy, when you see it you just don’t believe it, it’s just different seeing it with your eyes rather than a magazine photo.”
While it’s quiet for spectacle, Huziak says that when you think about what you’re look-ing at, the volume of stars and the distance between them and the earth, the universe is infinitely fascinating.
“There is something daily you can look at, the ordinary stuff is fascinating when you realize what you’re looking at,” Huziak says.
“It is huge, and we are small. You do this for any length of time, you start feeling very humble at just how
incredible this is and the science that runs it... It sure makes the fact that the Riders are 0-3 at the moment seem very insignificant.”
Part of the goal is to build interest for an active informal astrono-my group in the area.
He says there are some people he knows that are interested in the subject, and they will sometimes meet when there’s a special event, such as the Venus transit a few years ago, but he would like to have the interest in the community build and have the chance to get some permanent facilities in the area.
“With a group you can do other things... I’d love to put in a pub-lic facility, eventually get to the point where you could get a roll-off roof observatory, easy to do and not that expensive... A place where people can go on a semi-regular basis that’s run by volun-teers, other places do it.”
Exploring the skies from your own backyard
JIM HUZIAK wants people to look up a the stars, and will be launching a new series of columns to highlight what people can see from their own back yard.

Train wrecks at Ebenezer, leaks sulphurBy Thom BarkerStaff Writer
The cleanup of a train wreck that occurred in the tiny village of Ebenezer July 10 will take another two to three weeks to com-plete.
Ray Miller, Ebenezer fire chief and council mem-ber, explained that tanker cars containing molten sul-phur had to be left at the scene so the contents can cool and solidify before CN can cut the tanks open and remove the product. He lik-ened the tankers to large thermoses; the sulphur is transported in a liquid form at approximately 290 degrees Fahrenheit for ease
of transfer.The company has secur-
ity guards manning the site 24 hours a day.
When the train derailed at approximately 1:50 p.m. Friday, some of the mol-ten sulphur leaked into the ditch beside the tracks and into a nearby slough. Yorkton fire chief Trevor Morrisey confirmed that three cars containing sul-phur were punctured and leaked.
The RCMP evacuated a dozen nearby homes while firefighters from Ebenezer, Rhein and Yorkton con-tained the spill by building up a berm around the area.
The villagers were allowed back into their
homes later Friday evening.CN is reporting min-
imal environmental impact, but village officials are expecting to have a meeting with the province’s Water Security Agency this week to further assess the situa-tion.
According to an eyewit-ness, there was a grinding sound just before one of the cars jumped the track causing 11 more to pile up behind it. Seven of the 12 derailed cars contained cement, four were carrying liquid sulphur and one was empty.
CN crews worked through the night and Saturday to replace the sec-tion of track that was dam-
aged in the wreck.Miller said the com-
pany has been very good about keeping the village informed about what is going on, but the accident has opened his eyes to the potential hazards that are
passing through the town every day.
“It could have been a lot worse,” he said.
Aside from the ongoing cleanup, Miller said things are back to normal.
“Everybody is cool,
nobody’s upset,” he said. “I think people were quite pleased with the way we handled it.”
He added that the Rhein and Yorkton fire depart-ments provided “fantastic support.”
A CN TRAIN derailed at Ebenezer on July 10, spilling molten sulphur into a slough temporarily displacing a dozen families.
FIRE FIGHTING – The fires continue to burn up north, and it’s not only people who are feeling the impact of the flames. Yorkton native Doug Schmidt, who is one of the Saskatchewan government employees with firefighting experience who went to La Ronge to help, found this young deer among the ashes. Submitted Photo

TWO NEW VITAL SIGN MONITORS have been put into use at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, thanks to funds raised during the Tee Off on Cancer golf tournament hosted by Yorkton Plumbing and Heating in August, 2014. This was the second year that the tournament had been held by the Tee Off on Cancer Committee at Deer Park Golf Course. Over the last two years the tournament has raised over $20,000 to help Sunrise Health Region purchase equipment for use in the Yorkton Community Oncology Program Saskatchewan (COPS).“The new vital signs monitors from Tee Off on Cancer are a great benefit to the COPS program” said registered nurse, Kelly McNeil.Major sponsor, Yorkton Plumbing and Heating’s Justin Yawney and Tee Off on Cancer Committee members, Evan Johnson and Darren Wilson presented a cheque in the amount of $9,258 to McNeil, COPS manager, Carmelle Paddock and Board member, Don Rae on June 19, 2015.“Our old monitors were constantly used for many years and would often fail to give a reading or could go down for a day and we would be without” said registered nurse, Jeanette Fahlmann. “The new monitors store vital signs in a memory and have the ability to print. They take much less time to register the vital signs and they have a larger, coloured display which is very beneficial for the patients we serve.”The Third Annual Tee Off on Cancer will be hosted this year by Du-All Drywall and held on August 8, 2015 at Deer Park Golf Course.Pictured above from left to right is Kelly McNeil, Evan Johnson, Justin Yawney, Darren Wilson and Don Rae.
The Farm Business Development Initiative (FBDI) has launched a new online system that allows producers to enroll in the program, submit their information and apply for funding in just a few easy steps.
Interested farmer-cli-ents must first create an online account by provid-ing user identification – usually an email address – and a password.
This can be done by accessing the new FBDI website at https://fbdi.gov.sk.ca.
With an account established, a client may complete the “Taking Stock” self-assessment by answering questions online.
Once the self-assess-ment is completed, the client is encour-aged to contact the Regional Farm Business Management Specialist in his or her region to complete an in-person “Farm Development Plan,” and discuss pos-sible training opportun-ities and/or the possibil-ity of engaging a consult-ant.
The client will have the opportunity to either apply for funding while in the office or do it later online.
The new online sys-tem will also provide farmer-clients with a list of registered consultants and registered learning
events that could assist them in improving their management capabil-ities.
Producers interest-ed in enhancing their knowledge and skills in farm business manage-ment can browse these lists to find an advisor and/or learning activities that meets their specific needs.
Consulting services and learning events cover a range of topics including: Business Strategy, Marketing Strategy, Production Economics, Financial Management, Human Resource Management, Succession Planning, and Business Structure.
The new system also provides consultants and learning-providers an easy way to have their consulting services and learning activities regis-tered with the Ministry of Agriculture.
Interested consult-ants and learning pro-viders must create an online account and pro-vide basic information about their learning activities or consulting services. Consultants and learning provid-ers are then contacted by a Provincial Farm Business Management Specialist to confirm the registration of their ser-vices and/or activities.
The Farm Business Development Initiative
is funded under Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative.
Through FBDI, eli-gible farmers are reim-bursed part of the cost of tuition for learning activ-ities and/or engaging an advisor to develop farm management plans. Producers have used FBDI to: determine the best structure for their farm business, develop a strategy to recruit and retain skilled employees, manage their cost of pro-duction, plan for trans-ferring the business to the next generation, or improve their financial management practi-ces. FBDI continues to March 31, 2018, allowing time for producers to take training or engage an advisor to assist with farm management deci-sions.
For more informa-tion visit the new FBDI website at https://fbdi.gov.sk.ca; con-tact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377; or visit a nearby Saskatchewan Agriculture Regional Office to enroll in person.

The Community Assoc. Pancake breakfast at the beginning of June was well attended. Lots of CA mem-berships were purchased, which helps with carry-ing on with activities that we have at Good Spirit Acres. Thanks to Darlene and Ron Farrell, Ed Achtemichuk, Sandy and Terry Konkel, Elaine Park and young Haley Steiner for volunteering your time to help the executive feed the hungry people.
On Canada Day a good crowd gathered for at pot luck supper at the camp kitchen. We celebrated with a wonderful array of food… many desserts and lots of laughs and visit-ing with our neighbours, new residents and friends. If you weren’t there, you missed a good time!
Kudos to the new President of the Community Assoc. Lynn MacDonald, who, although having work commitments, managed to help set up the camp kitchen on July 1, before going back to work. The Sec. Treasurer of the CA
is Charm Johnston and other members of the Exec. are Richard and Jocelyn Winters and Kellyanne Ostafie. They need new members on the executive to help with planning of activities and setting up. Please consider phoning Lynn at 306-621-3032 to volunteer your time.
In the meantime, the next activity planned for the CA is the Toilet Seat Golf Tournament in Sept. Date to be decided.
Several years ago, Good Spirit Acres purchased a heart defibrillator (AED) Recently, some new resi-dents were recruited to learn CPR and use of the AED. They and some for-mer responders have been certified by St. John’s Ambulance in use of the defibrillator.
Residents of GSA would like to thank the people who first took the AED/CPR course, as well as the new recruits who have taken on this important task.
Soon a new phone list of hamlet residents will be compiled, which will
also indicate who the AED responders are. This list will be emailed to residents or copies can be picked up at the Good Spirit Market.
The Hamlet of Good Spirit Acres will be doing some work within the com-munity to improve water flow through the com-munity. Culverts will be added on the main road (Capalano Drive) in two locations as well as one addition on Bayhill Drive. We will also be working on Heritage Lane in an attempt to move water through that area. Notice will be given to residents so that personal cars can be located to cause the least amount of disrup-tion possible. It is expected that work will begin in early July. The local Board thanks all residents for their cooperation.
All residents of Good Spirit Acres are very for-tunate that we can enjoy access in and around the community on various recreational vehicles, how-ever, the Board wishes to remind residents that all of our Hamlet roads are
part of the Provincial road system and we must abide by Provincial laws. The Board is very concerned with the number of under-age drivers, without super-vision, that are being seen around the community. Our concern is that some-one is going to get hurt and that we might loose our privilege of enjoying access around the Hamlet in recreational vehicles. To be a legal driver, you must be 16 years of age with a valid divers license. If an underage driver is involved in an accident, the par-ents, grandparents and/or guardians can be held responsible. The Hamlet Board will be issuing a letter to all residents to remind them of this situa-tion. Please adhere to our Provincial laws so we can prevent an accident or the possible loss of our mode of transportation. Thank you for your cooperation.
John Neufeld, our RM councillor mentioned that the R M is busy gravel-ling the grid roads, get-ting them ready for winter. The RM has placed a gar-
bage bin in the Ponderosa subdivision for their use. We ask that Household Garbage only be placed in this bin.

The utility Crown cor-porations and SGI are offering temporary relief to people under mandatory evacuation from having to pay their utility bills, insur-ance premiums and driv-er’s licence fees that are currently due.
Until September 1, 2015, SaskTel, SaskPower and SaskEnergy are waiv-ing late payments and not proceeding with collection actions or disconnection for nonpayment of servi-ces because of mandatory evacuation orders. In addi-tion, residents and small/medium businesses will receive a future credit that will amount to approxi-mately one month fixed service delivery fees.
In addition, any vehicle plate insurance or driv-er’s licences that are due will not expire because of non-payment of the fees or premiums, or because customers are unable to renew their policy. Other insurance policies through SGI CANADA already have a grace period written in for evacuation situations,
which covers the duration of the evacuation as well as up to 30 days after the evacuation order has ended.
“Being away from your home and your community is stressful enough without worrying about bill pay-ments or insurance cover-age lapsing,” said Premier Brad Wall.
Customers will still be responsible for payment of services being supplied while they are not home, such as the electricity being consumed by freez-ers and other appliances. SaskEnergy, for safety rea-sons, has turned off service of their natural gas sys-tem in a number of affected communities. Customers in those communities will not have consumption char-ges during this period.
Additional relief meas-ures were also announced. Businesses directly impact-ed by recent fire activity in northern Saskatchewan can apply for relief from penalty and interest char-ges for filing late PST
returns.Affected businesses
must submit a written request for waiver of pen-alties and interest to the Finance Ministry. Requests should include the business location and outline the circumstances of how the fire-related conditions pre-vented the PST return(s) from being filed on time. Requests should be marked as fire related and sent to the following address:

Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, was always certain anything can be controlled. He claimed that even hiccups, headaches, and hot weather need not be a problem. I thought of Ed when we faced moving into our condo in Chilliwack at the end of June. The day we got keys to our new home, Chilliwack was facing a heat wave. The thermometer was hitting higher than 34 C or 93 F. Our condo did not have central air so we could not control the heat with air con-ditioning. Ed even has air conditioning for his tractor, as that is the way he beats the hot weather.
It is easier to beat the heat with air conditioning, but when Ed heard we had no air conditioner his bright idea was for us to go naked and get a fan. Talking to Ed by Skype is not always productive. Nothing should be a problem, for me, my old neighbor claimed if I would have a little self-discipline in my life. According to Ed, “All the hiccups and headaches of moving and relocating to a new province should make the wife and me, masters of self-discipline.”
The true character dem-onstrates itself when you are under pressure. In a new province, you have to start over in a lot of ways. I told Ed that now I’m in B.C. I
could not expect they would handle driver’s licenses, car insurance, and health care in the same way as it was executed in Saskatchewan. We have to make the chan-ges and adjustments. It is like being a new kid at school, where it takes time to fit in and feel at home. Everything that is different is not all bad, at the new school, and the old school was not all good.
Ed made a good point that life is best when we can act with self-discipline. Life presents us with a continuous array of choices and decisions. For, myself, it is difficult to live consist-ently with my best conduct when I’m under pressure. I like the words of Waldo Emerson, “What you do, speaks so loudly that I can-not hear a word that you say.” I know it takes great self-discipline to love your neighbor as yourself. I know how easy it is to love myself first instead of others, to let jealous thoughts make themselves at home in my
mind. I can become angry as if I know all that is wrong with other people and situa-tions. My personal desire is to live by the Spirit of Christ Jesus which is to act in love, joy, peace, patience, kind-ness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. My self-discipline/self-con-trol is not always strong enough. Elbert Hubbard said, “Self-discipline is the ability to do what you should do when you should do it whether you feel like it or not.”
Self-discipline is not the first choice I always make. I may choose to do what is fun and easy with no con-cern for the long-term con-sequences of my lack of self-discipline. Long-term con-siderations for this life and the next continually chal-lenge Christians. As God’s chosen people in Christ, we choose to clothe ourselves with compassion, kind-ness, humility, gentleness, patience and love towards others as our daily work in progress.
Discipline is the keyTHE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, July 16, 2015 - Page 9A

Chef Dez On Cooking - Homemade BBQ SaucesI find that one of the
absolute joys of cooking is creating and playing around with different fla-vors and ingredients to bring a dish together. So to help you achieve success when you’re firing up the barbecue all summer long, here are a couple of our favorite homemade barbe-cue sauces that we use all the time.
Please keep in mind that barbecue sauces are not marinades, they are a finishing sauce only. If applied to the meat at the beginning of (or too early on during) the grilling pro-cess, the sugars in these sauces will burn. Barbecue sauces are meant to be a finishing glaze on the meat: Apply during the very last part of the cook-ing process and close the lid of your barbecue to help them slightly caramelize onto the meat... also a side portioning cup for dipping doesn’t hurt either. Enjoy!
Bourbon BBQ Sauce“Any bourbon will
work, but Jack is the best!” 1.5 cups ketchup1/2 cup Jack Daniels
bourbon whiskey3/4 cup brown sugar4 garlic cloves, minced
very fine1/4 cup apple cider
vinegar1 tbsp Worcestershire
sauce1 tsp liquid smoke1 tsp salt
In a medium pot, combine the ketchup, Jack Daniels, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, and the 1 tsp salt. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, stir-ring constantly. Lower the heat to low and simmer,
uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside, off the heat, when done.
Grandma G’s BBQ
SauceMy Grandmother’s
“secret” recipe 1/2 cup ketchup1/4 cup HP Steak Sauce1/4 cup brown sugar2 tbsp white vinegar1 tbsp lemon juice1/2 tsp pepper1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp cinnamonDash of cloves2 garlic cloves, crushed2 tsp vegetable oil
(however, if you want to keep this recipe closer to the original used by my Grandma, use 2 tbsp melt-
ed butter as they didn’t have vegetable oil on the farm)
Mix together and keep
refrigerated.

Saskatchewan has lowest unemploymentThe June unemploy-
ment rate in Saskatchewan was 4.7 per cent (seasonally adjusted), down from 4.9 per cent in May (season-ally adjusted), and once again the lowest among all provinces, accord-ing to numbers released by Statistics Canada. June marked an all-time high for employ-ment as well as the
21st consecutive month that Saskatchewan had the lowest unemploy-ment rate in Canada. Nationally, unemploy-ment was 6.8 per cent in June.
“Maintaining the low-est unemployment rate is thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people and our strong, diversified economy that continues to create jobs,”
Minister of Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. “One of the initiatives that helps maintain the lowest rate is our gov-ernment’s investment in training for in-demand jobs.
“This helps employ-ers fill their labour needs and helps Saskatchewan people get good jobs that they can turn into
rewarding careers.”Employment in the
province reached a rec-ord 589,100, an increase of 7,500 compared to June 2014 (1.3 per cent increase).
Among the provinces, Saskatchewan had the third highest percentage increase.
Other highlights include:
Month-to-month sea-
sonally adjusted employ-ment increased by 700 from May 2015.
Year-over-year, the labour force was up 13,700 (2.3 per cent increase).
Full-time employ-ment reached a record high of 488,600 for the month of June, up by 900 from a year ago, and part-time increased by 6,600 from a year ago.
Major year-over-year gains were reported for health care and social assistance up 6,400; accommodation and food services up 3,500; and information, culture and recreation up 2,900.
Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up 1,600 (+3.7 per cent) for four consecutive months of year-over-year increases.
ON FRIDAY, JUNE 26 St. Michael’s School celebrated their year-end mass and awards. 52 grade eight students were honored for their successes this past year. The following students were recognized for awards: Taryn Kustra and Nolan Maier – Female and Male Athlete of the Year, Ashley Schrader and Katelyn Spilchuk — Proficiency English, Sarah Walker — Proficiency French, Sarah Walker and Mia Cottenie — Shining Star, Raven Saganace and Caitlin Lyons — Fine Arts Award.

Summer is the sea-son for ice cream, and dessert-loving food-ies can even try their hands at making their own creamy confec-tions, such as the fol-lowing recipe for “Blue-berry Ice Cream” from Lou Seibert Pappas’ “Ice Creams & Sorbets” (Chronicle Books).
Blueberry Ice Cream
Makes about 1 quart2 cups fresh blueber-ries2 tablespoons water2 teaspoons grated lemon zest2/3 cup sugar, divided1-1/2 cups half-and-half or milk1 cup heavy (whipping) cream1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 tablespoons honey liqueur or framboise (optional)
Rinse the berries and pick out any bad ones. Place in a small saucepan with the wa-ter and cook over low heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and purée in a blender or food proces-sor.
Try your hand at homemade ice cream
In a small bowl, mash the zest with 1 teaspoon of the sugar to release the oils. In a small saucepan, com-bine the half-and-half with the remaining sugar, stirring un-til dissolved; let cool to room temperature. Stir in the blueberry purée, cream, sugared zest, juice, and vanilla. Transfer to a container, cover, and refriger-ate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours.
Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, spoon in the li-queur, if desired, and churn until blended in, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a container, cover, and freeze un-til fi rm, about 2 hours. PC157320

GUINEA PIG – You know that the SPCA has lots of dogs and cats, but sometimes there are other animals that are a bit different, like me! I’m Gigi, a one year old female guinea pig. I’m very friendly and definitely cute, and what I need most of all is a loving, responsible family. If that sounds like you, come visit the SPCA or call 306-783-4080.
