– Jingle Bell Rocks take top honors
Film Fest. wraps for
another year
Another successful Yorkton Film Festival has wrapped up after the city played host to fi lm buffs from near an far, culminating with the Golden Sheaf Awards Gala on Saturday evening. “Each year Yorkton becomes the hotspot for high-lighting the best of Canadian short cinema and this year was no exception,” says the festival’s director Randy Goulden. “The calibre of this year’s submis-sions was truly astonishing and we’re glad we were able to recognize not just the winners, but all of the nominees as well. There is an amazing amount of talent in our country. We’re anxiously looking for-ward to great fi lms for next year’s festival.” Taking top honours at this year’s event was a fi lm called Jingle Bell Rocks, which went home with the Best of the Festival Award. The fi lm explores the emerging world of alterna-tive based Christmas music and the people who pro-duce and enjoy it. Director Mitchell Kezin, who was on hand to accept the award, also won the Emerging Film Maker Award and was nominated for the Re-search and Director (Non-Fiction) Award. “I had no idea I was even eligible for this award (Best of Festival) said Kezin following the ceremony. “So I’m fl abbergasted and kind of overwhelmed. It’s such a shock. This is one of the most important fes-tivals in North America, defi nitely in Canada, so I’m deeply honoured.” Also the recipient of the emerging fi lm maker award, Kezin says he’s actually not that new to the business, rather this was his fi rst feature length fi lm. It’s just taken awhile to get here.

The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is concerned about what is happening with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and hopes that it can quickly be reinstated. They recently drafted a letter to Gary Breitkreuz to advocate for getting the program reinstated. Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce says that busi-nesses in the area are seeing the impact of the program being suspend-ed. She says that there are jobs that need to be filled, but not enough people to
fill them. “There just isn’t a steady supply of Canadian labor available to fill these positions.” Polegi says that due to the program’s suspension, some businesses have had to put expansion plans on hold or have to limit their operating hours due to a lack of staff. There has been some controversy surrounding the program, Polegi says that in many cases people are not well informed. She notes that it is expen-sive and time consuming to even apply, making it a last resort for the majori-ty of businesses which take part. Continued on Page 8.

The Yorkton Film Festival kicked off with the arrival of James Brylowski, director of A Mile in these Hooves, a short com-edy about a pair of brothers trav-elling to California in a two-person donkey suit. To celebrate the film’s premiere in Yorkton, Brylowski travelled with the suit from Toronto, his arrival officially marking the beginning of the fes-tival. Brylowski says that he wanted to raise awareness for people in two-person costumes, stopping in different towns along the way to raise awareness and meet people, including meeting Prince Charles
in Winnipeg. The film itself might be fiction, but in order to get it on film they had to make the same journey, putting about 13,000 kms on the van in the process, Brylowski explains. “It sounds like a goofy story, and it is goofy, but it’s not as goofy as you think. It’s actually really dramatic and intense, about these brothers and their relationship is falling apart... But they just so happen to be in a two-person don-key suit.” The idea for the film came from a combination of a love of land-scape photography and a desire to set forth challenges involving two-person costumes. “I wanted to make a road trip
movie, but I wanted to make it ridiculous, so I really liked the idea of having this two-person donkey suit running across these majestic, beautiful landscapes.” The suit itself has seen better days, and Brylowski says filming has not been kind to the burlap creation, and the donkey itself is sun bleached and torn, but still in one piece. “It’s been in the Pacific Ocean, dragged through the streets of LA, constantly coming in and out of the van. It’s a testament to Jamie Shannon, the donkey designer, that it’s still standing after the hell we put this through.” Brylowski takes a Golden Sheaf Award for Best Comedy back with him to Toronto.
Two-person costumes – who knew?
PROUD CITY – Just before a fare well banquet Friday, Yorkton’s Terriers took part in a special parade event held in honor of their season success. The parade gave local residents the opportunity to see all three cups up close as well as the chance to congratulate the team. See more in this week’s sports section.

“It’s kind of an odd pair-ing – emerging fi lm mak-er and best of fest. but it doesn’t get any better than that.” An avid record collector himself, with a collection of more than 5,000, Kezin says Jingle Bell Rocks is about alternative under-ground Christmas music. “We released in Canada last Christmas, in the-atres across Canada and it’s opening in the US this Christmas.” He adds, the boost in Yorkton should help get the fi lm re-released in Canada this December also. He says the Yorkton Film Festival is a big boon for anyone receiving an award. “First of all it’s because of the longevity of it (the festival)... that’s an incred-ible achievement. They honour the best of our country and I think the competition is fi erce, so for me to win is amazing.” Not your ordinary fi lm topic Kezin says he was inspired for the idea as a collector who has amassed a quirky combination of albums over the past 25 years. “I know every year peo-ple complain ad nauseam hearing the standard, same Christmas songs so every year I make a mix called Mitchell’s mix that I give out as Christmas gifts... this was sort of a natural extension... there’s a lot of really cool stuff out there. This fi lm celebrates that community and a lot
of amazing artists who are relatively almost com-pletely unknown.”

THE NEWS REVIEW
Fish fairly or prepare to pay
I tend to complain a lot about Canada’s justice system, and maybe it gets redundant, but WHY oh WHY does this system repeatedly give us so many reasons to pick it apart? A thirteen year old Quebec girl had her inno-cent life taken – by her own father I might add – and while she will never have the chance to experi-ence adulthood, he got a mere 60 days in jail, of which he will serve just two days a week over 30 weeks behind bars (or in a condo, who knows?). What?!? Seventy-four year old Moussa Sidime (the father and the accused) is being portrayed as a gentle man who showed plenty of emotion during sentencing as he plead guilty to manslaughter. But I ask, what kind of gentle father loses his temper to the point he beats his own daughter to death? Apparently Sidime didn’t like the way his daugh-ter completed a household chore, he also says she was disrespectful and that he didn’t mean to do her the harm that he did. While I’m pretty sure he didn’t intend the outcome that came to be, it hap-pened plain and simple. “It was one of those freak accidents,” says his other supportive daughter, “if he could take it back, he would...” The family says
they are “extremely happy” about the sentenc-ing. Angered by his now deceased daughter’s actions, or lack thereof, from his account, Sidime walked over to her and slapped her – twice across the face and also on the bottom. The force was enough to jar her head in
such a motion that it ruptured an artery in her head, cutting off oxygen to her brain. She died in the hospital two days later. How very sad and tragic... In court Sidime told the judge he had slapped his son in the past but said it “wasn’t in his nature to strike his children.” Hmmm... I beg to differ. He claims he is not violent and that what happened “was the will of God.” Really??? While I realize this man will live with his guilt forever (or he should) and that a jail sentence won’t likely make a difference, what kind of precedence are we setting? What kind of message are we send-ing? That it’s okay to fly off the handle and roughly beat your child? Especially if you’re typically “gen-tle.” Like the judge says, this may be an “exceptional case” but it just doesn’t sit well that a person can walk away scott free after a terrible ending like this, not with me anyway.

The way I see it...
I hate my stupid phone. I hate how it loses charge for no reason. I hate how the bluetooth connection sometimes decides to ignore my car, as though the car said something rude and it wants to teach it a lesson. I hate how easily confused the GPS is, since it is slow to update and frequently just puts me in Saskatoon. Most of all, I hate that I am actually complaining about all those things. I have deliberately stayed behind the curve on phone technology, being a reluctant adopter to pretty much every new advance. Only this, the most recent phone I’ve owned, has even had the most basic smart phone technology installed, although most of that does not actually work most of the time anyway. I only bought this one because my old, not very smart phone decided to die spectacularly while I was send-ing a text to my sister. I have taken steps to con-sciously avoid the latest and greatest in phone tech-nology. Why have I done this? Well, I am kind of afraid of it, to be honest. I’m not literally afraid of the phone, that would be absurd, but I’m afraid of relying on it. The rather roundabout way I have managed this is to ensure I do not actually own a phone I can rely on to do more than the simplest tasks. I can contact people with the phone, they can contact me, but otherwise it
is not an object I can really use to do everything. The operating system does not support a wide spectrum of applications, it cannot actually do too much at all really, so if I leave it at home, at work or at the bottom of the sea, I’m never lost without it. There are many people for whom a phone has become an essential lifeline, and the idea of that is somewhat scary to me, the idea that I can’t live without technology. This aggressive and bone-headed streak of luddism is no longer compatible with the world we live in. Phones have become ubiquitous, and because of that many places are making them integral to services and new technology. The logic is that as the more complex
devices become more ubiquitous, it makes sense to just embrace the technology everyone already owns. The phone is not quite required for simply living, but it is creeping towards that point, whether I want to embrace it or not. I think I’ve tried to avoid it just because I know how much time I spend tethered to a screen, and would like to pretend that there is one part of my life which is not heavily reliant on some kind of technology. I know this is pretty much just a lie, I rely heavily on text to keep in touch with people. I would like to pre-tend I am not lost without it, but in an unfamiliar part of the city I was lost with it, given that the GPS does not work properly, and as much as I want to believe I am a brilliant navigator I can still miss a street or get on the wrong crescent. As much as I would like to claim I want to keep the phone from invading my life, I look at things phones can do now, and the way the technology is being integrated, and realize that I’m just clinging to a world that no longer exists. I do not think I’ll embrace it whole hog, of course, mostly because data plans are expensive and I am cheap, but it’s about time to admit that the world has moved on, phones are a big part of it now, and trying to ignore that fact is little more than a fool’s errand. I guess it’s time to go shopping.

If you’re playing the system be prepared to get caught and fined. The Government of Saskatchewan has announced it has made significant changes to the fine structure for unlawful hunting and fishing activities. “Hunting, fishing and trapping are an integral part of Saskatchewan’s heritage, and these changes send a clear mes-sage that these resources are val-ued and will be protected,” says Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff. “In some instances fines for serious resource infrac-tions have been doubled. We hope these increased penalties will serve as a deterrent to those who consider abusing our resourc-es in the future.” The idea behind the changes is to both protect our natural resources and ensure ethical behaviour. New fines will run as high as $2,000 depending on the infrac-tion. Illegal activities, says the prov-ince, not only rob law-abiding hunters and anglers of game and fish, they waste business and tax-payer revenue, and deny others the opportunity to see and expe-rience all of the natural resources that Saskatchewan has to offer. We have a vast and varied wild-life selection so if these changes help ensure that continues then this is a good thing. Anyone witnessing wrong doing is asked to get involved by calling Saskatchewan’s toll-free Turn In Poachers line at 1-800-667-7561.

To the Editor: Those living in a regulated nursing home are likely in frail condition, are approaching the end of their lives, and suffer from chronic conditions which impair their capacity to live on their own. Residents rely heavi-ly on the nursing home to ensure their protection and well-being. So it is paradoxical – some would say tragic – that nursing home residents are too often put on drugs they don’t need, which can be dangerous, and may even kill them. There is accumulating evi-dence that antipsychotic medica-tion is used excessively in some nursing homes. A recent Toronto Star investigation revealed that many provincially-regulated nursing homes in Ontario are routinely drugging their resi-dents to calm and restrain them when they are agitated, have a tendency to wander or display aggressive behaviours. It also revealed that 33 per cent of On-tario’s nursing home residents are on an antipsychotic drug. While Ontario is currently in the spotlight, similar headlines appear on a recurrent basis across Canada. A recent report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information found that the odds that a senior person liv-ing in a Canadian nursing home will be given antipsychotics are nine times higher than for the elderly living in the community. The report showed that about 41 per cent of nursing home residents in Canada received at least one antipsychotic in 2012. How long will the elderly in nursing homes be served unnec-essary and potentially danger-ous drugs when what they actu-ally need are better provisions for long-term care? Warnings on drugs labels are
unequivocal: for those who suf-fer from dementia, antipsychot-ics are dangerous. These drugs, when inappropriately prescribed in this manner, may increase the risk of death by 60 per cent. Health Canada does not ap-prove them for the elderly with dementia, yet large numbers of nursing home residents on these drugs suffer from this condition. Residents may also receive other drugs that may be unnecessary and risky for them, such as the
anti-anxiety medication loraze-pam or the antidepressant ami-triptyline. Ensuring seniors remain calm and easy to manage is not what residents suffering from demen-tia personally need the most from nursing homes. This may, however, be what nursing homes need from them. The evidence suggests that in several cases these facilities are using pre-scription drugs as a cost-effec-tive way to deal with their resi-dents’ unwanted behaviours. Provinces typically express concern when such issues are raised. Policymakers establish
new guidelines, promise to bet-ter educate doctors and stake-holders and may even make data about drug use in nursing homes publicly accessible. Sadly, this has not been enough, as is evi-denced by the large numbers of seniors in these institutions who continue to take unnecessary medications. More – and differ-ent – action is needed to ensure an effi cient response. The evidence suggests that be-havioural interventions and im-proved management of dementia can signifi cantly reduce the need for antipsychotic medication. Such solutions require better-designed, better-equipped and better-staffed nursing homes. How well prepared are we to provide these conditions? The core problem lies in the largely insuffi cient funding lev-els for nursing homes at the same time that this sector is fac-ing a rapidly growing demand for services. Signifi cant invest-ments will be needed for nursing homes even if the goal is limited to maintaining the status quo. Strong determination is needed from politicians and policy mak-ers if they seek to improve the current conditions. But who will take the lead? Provinces can certainly do bet-ter. But some of the tools needed – including better funding and national standards for long-term care – require a meaningful in-volvement from the federal gov-ernment. Effective leadership from the federal government is the essential fi rst step. There’s one thing we know for certain: Using prescription drugs as a response to nursing home struggles with staffi ng shortages and insuffi cient re-sources is not a solution.

To the Editor: Indigenous women and girls are dramatically more likely to be victims of homicides and to go missing in Canada. In fact, while only four per cent of wom-en in Canada are Indigenous, this demographic accounted for a staggering twenty-three percent of female homicide vic-tims in 2012. That means almost one-in-four female murder vic-tims in Canada are Indigenous. This ongoing tragedy was al-ready a crisis when the Native Women’s Association of Canada identified almost 600 cases of missing and murdered Indige-nous women and girls in recent decades in a 2009 study. Now, a new RCMP report has identi-fied almost 1200 victims since 1984, doubling the previous es-timate. This epidemic of violence must end and the Conservative government – which claims to be tough on crime and to stand up for victims of crime – cannot continue to ignore this national disgrace. Prime Minister Harper’s stub-born refusal to call a national public inquiry into the ongoing tragedy of missing and mur-dered Indigenous women and girls is in stark contrast to the overwhelming consensus in Canada. Grieving families, In-digenous leaders, opposition parties, victims’ advocates, civ-il society and every provincial and territorial premier have all urged the government to call a national inquiry. Only a national inquiry would have the scope and resources necessary to identify the root causes of the violence and out-line concrete measures to turn this appalling situation around. It is the only way to provide jus-tice for the victims, healing for their families and to put an end to the violence. The Prime Minister’s opposi-tion is ill-considered and short-sighted. We can and must rise to this challenge, and call a na-tional inquiry now.

Epidemic needs to end
Drugging seniors not a solution
To the Editor: This spring session, the Saskatchewan NDP’s focus was on the government’s neglect of the basics in health care, seniors care and education. I believe people should be benefi tting more from our prov-ince’s strong economy, but the reality for far too many hardwork-ing families right now is that extra costs just keep piling up while the services we should all be able to count on are getting worse because of this government’s dismissive approach. The government’s own statistics show that health care is get-ting worse under its
watch. With more and more concerns being raised about the qual-ity of seniors care, the NDP pushed the gov-ernment to fi x the ba-sics in health care and seniors care, instead of investing well over $100 million into its Lean pet project. As a positive step to-ward fi xing the seniors care crisis, the NDP introduced legislation that would have re-quired the government to establish minimum quality of care stan-dards and a residents-in-care bill of rights. The government voted unanimously against the NDP’s bill, despite its own Law Reform Commission recom-mending such legisla-
tion. The NDP also pushed the government to fi x the basics in our educa-tion system, like over-crowded classrooms, schools that desper-ately need repairs and students that are not getting the one-on-one attention they need. The NDP called on the government to re-verse the “Lean initia-tive claw back” – the government’s new plan to rip education fund-ing out of classrooms to force teachers and stu-dents to do more with their already stretched budgets. The government’s growing sense of en-titlement was also on display during the spring session. The
NDP exposed inappro-priate travel expenses of Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz and Social Services Minister June Draude. Throughout the spring session, we worked hard to bring forward the important issues we’ve been hearing about from Saskatch-ewan families. Over the coming months, we will continue reaching out across the province, lis-tening to concerns and ideas, and holding the government to account, not only for what it does but also for what it ne-glects to do. Cam Broten, Leader
of the Offi cial Opposition, Sask. NDP.
Holding government accountable
To the Editor:
On May 8, I was watching CTV news when I heard Justin Trudeau declare that the Liberal Party will not accept candidates who harbour pro life views. This view point did not surprise me. He supports abortion, same sex marriage, contraception, legal-ized marijuana, euthanasia, assisted suicide and the use of swear words. Justin Trudeau, the so called “Catholic” politician, and other “so called” Christian political
officials, continue to oppose the church’s most important teach-ing on the sanctity of human life and sexuality. Justin Trudeau is a disgrace to the Catholic Church and Ca-nadians. His personal beliefs and his actions to not support pro life candidates in the Liberal party are not in alignment with the party itself of the Catholic Church. Canada is a democratic coun-try and individuals, pro life or pro choice, should be allowed to run, be elected and serve in par-
liament. It is unconstitutional and not democratic to disavow someone from being a part of a political party simply because they have an opposing opinion about a highly controversial top-ic. I would recommend that peo-ple, both in and outside of the Liberal Party, not support Justin Trudeau’s stance on not allowing people with different view points to be part of this political party.

Mike Haczkewicz, principal of YHRS, says that the big advantage for the school is real life experience with the trades right in the class-room. “You always ask the teacher, ‘why are we doing this?’ Well here is the answer, because you do this in the real world with SaskTel. This leads to a career down the road, it’s huge for the students.” The electronics program has grown substantially over the last
few years, Haczkewicz notes, and this takes it to the next level, given that it is connected to an eventual career. For SaskTel, the partnership has a clear goal at the end, they want to see students from the class join their workforce. Leanne Woodhouse with Sasktel says that they want students to know about the options they have with the company, and prepare them for the workforce. Recruiting is a challenge given the booming economy, Woodhouse says, and that makes programs like these important to reach the next generation of employees. “We’re always looking for new, young people to join our organiza-tion, particularly in rural and dis-trict locations. This helps us devel-op that talent pool.”
YRHS is the fourth partner school, the first outside of Saskatoon and Regina. The school was select-ed because SaskTel knew about the success YRHS had in the robotics program, Woodhouse says, and they thought it would be a good fit for the corporation. For Haczkewicz’s part, he sees this as something that YRHS would like to see more of into the future, for the sake of the school’s stu-dents. “I’m hoping that this opens the door to other partnerships in the future. Obviously they want that commodity that we’re putting out the door each June, those Grade 12 graduates. Not everyone’s suited for the University world, some are suited for the trades or joining the work world, and this is perfect.”

There is a new wave of aboriginal filmmaking both in North America and the world. A panel at the Yorkton Film Festival brought together film-makers Lisa Jackson and Michelle Latimer spoke about their experience being aboriginal filmmak-ers and about what is going on in the move-ment. Jackson says that there is an indigenous scene that is growing, and she says that there is a sensi-bility and style growing in the movement. In par-ticular, she cites the ImagineNATIVE film fes-tival as example of how the community is coming together, with strong work and a great deal of effort put into finding and encouraging talent. She says the festival is great because of a combination of the quality of work, but also the community it is building, which has been
instrumental in keeping filmmakers going and developing talent. Jackson says that she believes some of the most creative and ground-breaking work is coming from the indigenous com-munity, and that she says she has been blown away by many of the films she
has seen through differ-ent festivals and pro-grams. Latimer agrees, saying that she believes it’s a cultural difference, as the way stories are passed down through culture changes how people see the world, how people visualize narrative and
even simply how stories are structured. She says that magical realism, for example, is an essential part of the stories of their culture, which changes how stories are told. For that reason, Latimer says that there need to be more aborigi-nal trained story editors,
so they understand the cultural differences. Jackson points to New Zealand as a place where their aboriginal filmmak-ing has had great success because there are Maori people on all levels of the funding chain. Jackson says she is appreciative of the support given, but that it is still not perfect. Latimer says that tech-nology has also been instrumental in engaging a new wave of aboriginal filmmaking. She notes that the ubiquity of cam-eras makes it possible for people in remote areas to make films where they otherwise would be unable to have access to tools to make films and tell stories. “You’re getting a gen-eration now that is feel-ing empowered to make changes and get their work out there,” Latimer says. There are still chal-lenges, and both admit that they have to push harder to be recognized
as on the same level as their peers and not just products of programs designed to engage the community. Latimer says that her perspective as an indige-nous person is always going to be a vital part of her films, whatever the subject is, and she wants to be seen as someone whose perspective is valu-able. “I don’t want to just be seen as an aboriginal filmmaker, I want to be seen as a filmmaker.” Latimer says. Making the leap to fea-tures is a challenge, the women agree, and both have known people who have been discouraged by being unable to push into features from success in short films. Latimer says that she is one of those people who wants to make that move into features, and she says she still feels excited when she sees a film in the theatre, and that is why she makes films.

Every year, students from the region get a rare oppor-tunity to work with acclaimed filmmakers as part of the Yorkton Film Festival. Students learn the process of making a movie, from shooting to editing, and see how it’s done. Crystal Van Pelt, part of the student day committee, spoke to The News Review about the event. Van Pelt says that the day has been steadily grow-ing since beginning several years ago. Students are broken off into different roles in the production, including director, editor, actor and so on, and each goes through their task in various scenes, learning from experts in the field. “It’s about getting them really good training with experts we have in the
field.” The day is a big opportu-nity, Van Pelt says, and a rare one for students. The event attracts a high cali-ber of instructor in differ-ent fields, which is good not only for getting experience with different tasks in film production, but also mak-ing contacts and building relationships if film is a career they want to pur-sue. “It’s a great opportunity for us as well to do what we all love to do, which is to teach and grow and share.” While Van Pelt notes that like any high school age students the group is shy, she says that as they get comfortable they begin to produce great work and are excited about what they can accomplish. “You can tell right off the bat, they’re very confident in what job they came to learn about... We have had
great students, they get immersed in it... The pieces that are coming out are great, whether it’s the act-ing or the way they’re shooting or contributing their views to how they want the style done.” The goal overall is to close the gap between the dream job and reality, Van Pelt says, giving students a guide into the industry and towards jobs in the film industry. “There is a way to do what you want to do... There’s hard work behind it, but it’s also fun.” Van Pelt says that there are big plans for the event in the future, looking to gain sponsorship and start expanding the event to a bigger group of students. While the event has been limited to 60 students in the past, the goal is to be able to get larger numbers involved.

It’s Dirty Harry, only hairier, and it’s a Saskatchewan-made film coming to the big screen. The team behind WolfCop was at the Yorkton Film Festival to discuss the experience of bringing the project to the big screen. Director Lowell Dean admits that the idea was deceptively simple, but one that took hold and one that the filmmakers believed in. They were determined to get it made even if they had to finance it themselves. The horror-comedy is a bit of a throwback to the Roger Corman produc-tions of the ‘70s and ‘80s, and Dean says it was a deliberate choice on his end to make a film which had the charm and appeal of low-budget B-movies. “I’m just sick of digital effects, I’m sick of movies where there are a thou-sand armies fighting a thousand armies. I just want to see people, and I want to see practical effects. Even with their mistakes, the mistakes
are charming. For me it’s just a throwback... I just want movies that are a good, ridiculous time,” Dean says. Even before it’s pre-miere a sequel has been greenlit, and Dean says that he’s excited to start work on the next part of the franchise. He says that he’s not going to take his good fortune for grant-
ed, and is hard at work developing the next film. “This is the dream, to keep making movies, especially movies that are my babies.” J. Joly and Brian Wideen are the CEOs and co-founders of CineCoup, which financed the proj-ect. WolfCop is the first feature from the compa-ny, which took a new
model for selecting proj-ects. They decided to take a competition-focused approach, getting films into a competition for $1 million in funding and a theatrical release in Cineplex. While a new approach from the audi-ence end, Joly says that competition has always been a major part of the studio system, it has just
been behind closed doors until now. “I believe competition has always been with us, we just have gone a more transparent way than a more hidden way.” Wideen says that they also wanted to go with crowdsourcing because they believed it was the best way to build an audi-ence and get the people who would eventually go see the films on board. He says that from the begin-ning the audience picked winning projects. Dean says that the experience of CineCoup was relentless, and like a full-time job to get the content out there. While WolfCop itself is a high concept cult film, Wideen says that finalists ran the gamut from com-edy, action, and coming of age dramas. The goal is to make a movie people want to see. “The audience is king, and that’s the way it should be, that’s where all the money is.” Part of the goal was to go to the filmmakers and make the movies where they live. All three say it
was a challenge to shoot in the province, especially as the film came after the end of the film tax credit but before Creative Saskatchewan. Wideen says while it could have been cheaper to film else-where, by keeping it at home they are getting a province on board that wants to see local con-tent. “There’s more than how many dollars you are get-ting from tax credits and comparing the two.” Dean agrees, and says that having a film that was entirely Saskat-chewan made, apart from some post-production work, is something he’s proud to produce. “I can’t wait to sit in a theatre in Saskatchewan, and see Saskatchewan on the big screen. It’s not what you expect, it’s raun-chy, it’s weird, it’s crazy, and I think it’s got a great story. It’s so rare, you never see Saskatchewan on the big screen, and this will show the world how crazy we are,” Dean says. WolfCop opens June 6 in western Canada in Cineplex theatres.

In the story Infrastructure Frustrates, in the May 15, 2014 edition of the News Review, Mayor Bob Maloney made an error about the amount of increase in asphalt and paving costs. He said these costs had gone up 30 per cent year over year, but the actual number was 30 per cent over three years. He apolo-gizes for any confusion this may have caused.
Correction
Each year, numerous organizations in the federal constituency of Yorkton-Melville benefit from the Government of Canada’s popular New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). NHSP community-based projects help empower seniors to share their knowl-edge, skills and experiences with others and support communities by increasing their capacity to address local issues. The NHSP’s 2014-2015 call for propos-als is now underway and eligible organizations have until July 4, 2014, to apply for federal contribu-tions. This funding is specifically for organizations that are actively involved in assisting seniors to make a difference in the lives of others and their communi-ties. Many such organizations who applied for grants through last year’s program have already put their funding to good use. I’m happy to note that those communities and organizations include many throughout the constituency. Since 2006, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 13,000 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada. The 2013-2014 call for proposals resulted in over 1,770 community-based projects throughout the country getting much needed funding worth more than $33.4 million. Economic Action Plan 2014 proposes a significant increase in the funding totals for the NHSP to sup-port even more projects. That’s good news for those
who have helped build our country and continue to contribute their skills and experience to those around them. To be eligible for funding, projects must be led or inspired by seniors and address one or more of the following five program objectives: • promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations • engaging seniors in the community through the mentoring of others • expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse • supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors • providing capital assistance for new and exist-
ing community projects and/or programs for seniors To determine whether or not your organization and project may qualify for NHSP funding, I encour-age you to visit: www.esdc.gc.ca/seniors. New Horizons for Seniors Program funding reaches out to almost any organization that has a strong seniors element built into its programming. Some of those (but not all) are: • not-for-profit organizations • for-profit enterprises • coalitions and networks • municipal governments • band/tribal councils and other Aboriginal orga-nizations Organizations may apply annually, and people are encouraged to be creative in their applications and intent to use this funding. As an example, one of the projects funded in Yorkton-Melville in previ-ous years was the creation of a computer skills workshop that incorporated the skills of local high school students to teach computer skills to seniors. Don’t let the paperwork stop you from taking advantage of this valuable opportunity to enhance the lives of some of our most generous citizens. Forms and submission dates are available at: www.esdc.gc.ca. You may also call 1-800-277-9914 or (306) 564-5419 and ask for information about the New Horizons Program.

The Home Energy Legacy Program helps low incomes replace big ticket items such as furnaces, hot water heaters and attic insulation to save energy and keep homes viable for years to come. This year, three Yorkton homes and one Canora home are going to receive the benefits of the HELP program. Tracy Meadows is one of those homeowners, receiv-ing a new furnace through the program, as well as new attic insulation, a new thermostat and a more efficient toilet. Meadows says that she has had a rough couple of years in her personal life, and being selected for HELP is a “mini lottery” at the end. She also says that it was very much needed, as her old furnace was at the end of its life, not only being inefficient, but unreliable and it was becoming difficult to find replacement filters. Shannon Doka says the program is in place because
people need to think about being energy efficient, by ripping out inefficient fur-naces and appliances and putting new ones in place, it highlights the difference it can make in everyone’s life if they step up and upgrade their homes. Participants had to attend an information meeting back in January to apply. Doka says that people must have an income of under $52,000, as well as have a story. She says that the process is long and involved, and finally four people within the Yorkton area were selected. Another important part of the program, outside of replacing big-ticket items, is cost. Stephen and Ann Poole were participants last year, and say that the new furnace has caused their bills to decrease sig-nificantly, even after the recent long winter. Apart from being more efficient, the new setup was also warmer, as the combina-tion of a new furnace and insulation was better able to heat the home effec-tively.
HELP makes a difference for area families
A NEW FURNACE is on the way for Tracy Meadows, who was one of four area homes receiving the new equipment through the HELP program.
TFWP concerns Con’t from Page 1.
While some have abused the program, Polegi stress-es that there should not be a knee-jerk reaction against it, and that the many fair and equitable employers should not be punished due to the actions of a slim minority. The Chamber of Commerce would like to see the moratorium lifted immediately, and allow places like Yorkton which are facing a labor shortage to bring in people who are interested in working, Polegi says. “Before you completely change this program, look at disciplining those businesses that have abused the program, but don’t create a disservice to all of those employers who have been following those rules and regulations.”

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on get-ting settled in Hazel Dell. My wife is babysitting our granddaughter Casey in Wilkie this week, and has left me here alone to my own devices. I’m not so sure how smart that was, because I was sitting here reminiscing about my childhood. I remember my dad reading bed time stories for us. If we had been good, he would read some nice Norwegian fairy tales where everybody lived happily ever after, but when we had misbehaved, he would read stories from The Brothers Grimm about bad trolls that would eat humans, then he would quickly turn off the light and disappear while we were lying there in the dark with our eyes wide open barely daring to breathe. Our tiny voiced pleas for help would summon our mother who would settle us down. In any event, I decided to start writing some fairy tales of my own for Casey to enjoy later. Here is my first attempt: KINGDOM OF CHORTLECHUK Many, many years ago there was a Kingdom far, far away called Chortlechuk, so named because all the happy souls that resided there were called Lampoons and always upchucked when they were laughing. King Snigger a handsome stat-uesque man, and Queen Titter a woman of extraor-dinary beauty, were the rulers and they were very merry and easy going. Their beautiful daughter had fair skin and long golden hair, and her mother’s beauty had been passed on to her. Her name was Charise, but they always called her Chucklee because she always laughed when she
spoke. All the Lampoons enjoyed the nice happy atmosphere and worked very hard in the gold mine while singing and laugh-ing so that they would all be comfortable. The Kingdom of Chortlechuk prospered and grew and all the Lampoons were very happy! The neighbouring Kingdom was called Derangeville, and was ruled by King Frantico a short and rather rotund man; and Queen Pot-o-Crack with her rather big bosom and matching rear end. Their son Luny was a cross eyed, swarthy look-ing pigeon toed young man, who spoke with a lisp and had his eyes firm-ly affixed on Chucklee, well one eye at a time actually. The inhabitants were called Frenzioulars and they were not happy and never laughed. They dragged their sorry bums to work, and only gave a half effort labouring in the coal mine. The King and Queen were noticing how prepos-terously prosperous the Kingdom of Chortlechuk had become, and decided to attack and conquer their neighbour in order to obtain all the wealth, but more importantly to make all Frenzioulars happy, because they would ensure that the Lampoons would be enslaved and work for the Frenzioulars! King Frantico appointed the infamous Knight Sir Psychodude to lead their frantic army. Words of the impending invasion got to King Snigger, and he quickly realized that happy or not, they had to defend their Kingdom! He summoned the famous Knight Sir Laughs-a-Lot and his merry men to meet him in the round table room. However, so much merri-ment had happened in that room that the round table had collapsed and was replaced with a square table. “Fear not!”
said Sir Laughs-a-Lot, as he removed his famous sword “Exaltibur” from the scabbard, and neatly chopped the four corners off. The room was then renamed “Hexagonia!” When they were all seated around the hexa-gon table, King Snigger made them pledge that whatever happens in Hexagonia, stays in Hexagonia! Then one of the Knights named Farcicalious told an off colour (black actually) joke, and all the Knights laughed and upchucked. King Snigger then alerted his Knights about the impending attack. As all the King’s men were laughers not fighters, they had to devise a non-laugh-able defence, which would
have to include a trap. King Frantico told his men that conquering Chortlechuk would be easy peasy, they just had to go through the front gate, raise their out-stretched right arms and declare supremacy! But Sir Laughs-a-Lot and his Knights had come up with the perfect defence. When Sir Psychodude and his frantic men arrived at the square, the town crier started to cry with real tears running down his cheeks all the while spill-ing his milk! This confused the fran-tics, as they all knew that nobody cries over spilled milk! And while King Frantico’s army just stood there in frantic confusion, Sir Laughs-a-Lot and his
merry Knights surround-ed and laughingly dis-armed them. King Snigger then annexed the Kingdom of Derangeville. King Frantico and Queen Pot-o-Crack surrendered and to stay out of the famous Laughville Clinckycooler, they had to tell funny sto-ries in public about their Knights and how they had cheated on their expense claims, and double dipped on their living allowances. Their son Luny reformed himself under the tute-lage of Sir Laughs-a-Lot, and changed his name to Hilario. He had also received a Hollywood makeover, corrective eye surgery, got his feet realigned, and speech therapy to get rid of his
lisp. Upon completion of his makeover, Sir Laughs-a-Lot presented him to the Princess and amid their joint guffaws Hilario pro-posed to Chucklee who accepted. King Snigger and Queen Titter arranged for a grand wedding which of course included a num-ber of laugh maids. The wedding ceremony was conducted in the square by the famous friar Brother Mirthious, who was able to stop laughing long enough to pronounce them man and wife for life. Hilario kissed his bride Chucklee and they all laughed happily ever after. The moral of the story is: “Have a good time and laugh until you upchuck”!

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer
One of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s elite franchises, the Yorkton Terri-ers, and their fan base are quite used to winning, but there has always been one prize that has eluded them: The Junior “A” National Championship. Whether it was called the “Centennial Cup” or the “Roy-al Bank Cup” or today’s more modern name under the same sponsor “RBC Cup” there wasn’t much luck for York-ton after clinching SJHL and Anavet Cup titles to qualify for the National Championships as representatives of Western Canada. As hosts in the late 90’s the Terriers would be up-set by the eventual champions in overtime before they would get another chance in the mid 00’s, eventually running into a future NHL star named Kyle Turris and the Burnaby Ex-press in the fi nal to fall short again. That would be as close as the Terriers would get to the National Championship in the modern era of the team until this recent run by the Yorkton team who started to rekindle the city’s obsession with a fi rst ever RBC Cup last season with a magical run to the 2012/13 SJHL title that put the team in the fi rst ever Western Canada Cup where they would face Western Can-ada’s best teams for two sports in the RBC. Unfortunately things didn’t pan out for the Terriers last season as sports’ cruel fate didn’t have Yorkton in mind when it penned the script of the Western Canada and RBC Cups last season, instead giv-ing the Brooks Bandits the glory when the eventual Na-tional Champions from Alber-ta eliminated the Terriers 1-0 and ending Yorkton’s season one game short of the RBC Cup. Losing starting playoff goaltender Dawson MacAu-ley to the WHL’s Regina Pats and clutch goalscorer Jeremy Johnson as one of six overage players moving on before de-
fending the SJHL title, a re-turning Yorkton Terriers team with 15 players coming back found themselves as heavy favorites to repeat as SJHL champions. They also had an unspoken goal from Day One, earn a spot in the RBC Cup and make a run at becoming National Champions. Things didn’t start out like many may remember as the Terriers lost in Opening Night in a 3-0 shocker to the Wey-burn Red Wings, but after some shrewd additions blend-ed with a strong supporting cast the expected dominance of the defending champions
began to emerge. With in season additions of Brett Boehm and Riley Hunt giving Yorkton some more high end talent in their arsenal, the Terriers eventually outlasted a surprisingly strong season from the Melville Millionaires to atop both the Viterra Divi-sion and the SJHL regular season standings, fi nishing with the season pennant after a second place regular season fi nish the year before. In the SJHL Playoffs as the number one seed, things appeared easy for a Terriers team that made quick work of the Notre Dame Hounds and Humboldt Broncos in fi ve games apiece to earn their spot in the Canalta Cup Finals, but they would be taken out of their comfort zones in both series to give the team preparation for the
road ahead. First physically by some mind games from the underdog Notre Dame Hounds who toed the line between tough and dirty in their fi rst round matchup, then men-tally thanks to three overtime wins in their semifi nal series with Humboldt in what was a rematch of their 2013 Finals meeting. A dream fi nal was set up as for the fi rst time in history the Yorkton Terriers and Mel-ville Millionaires would play in a historic Canalta Cup fi -nal thanks to the SJHL’s new
three division format. Despite a strong regular season per-formance by the Millionaires and a hot goaltender in Isa-iah Plett, the Terriers would quickly show Melville that they were just a cut above the league competition in a four game sweep. The series was not without memorable moments as the Millionaires made Yorkton fi ght for every inch in Game One and Game Two, requiring a late game tying goal from Brett Boehm in Game One to sneak out an overtime win be-fore Devon McMullen secured a goal in double overtime in Melville to take a 2-0 series lead and the wind out of Mel-ville’s Cinderella sails. Less nervy wins followed in the fi nal two games as the
Terriers earned sweet brag-ging rights by sweeping their local rivals in their own new arena, continuing Melville’s streak without their fi rst ever league championship and a spot in the Western Canada Cup for a second straight sea-son. Yorkton born goaltender Kale Thomson was the star of the series for the Terriers, making up for losing out on the number one job to MacAu-ley the year before by allowing just three Melville goals in the sweep to cement his SJHL Top Goaltender Award in style.
After losing just twice in the SJHL Playoffs and sweeping the Mils, Yorkton would fi nal-ly face adversity at the worst possible time in the round rob-in of the Western Canada Cup in Dauphin as their star goal-tender got hit with the fl u bug before the tournament, miss-ing the fi rst game against the Winnipeg Blues. With backup Riley Medves playing his fi rst game in well over a month, the Terriers were upset by the Blues in the fi rst game before losing to Spruce Grove in over-time in their third game with a still fatigued Thomson still slightly off form in the second loss after giving up six goals in their win against the Dauphin Kings. Needing a win against the Coquitlam Express to stay
alive in the Western Canada Cup the Terriers dug deep and found the quality of play and effort they showed in must win games all season, holding the BCHL champions to just one goal in a 4-1 win to earn a spot in the WCC fi nal. Facing the host Dauphin Kings in the fi nal with a spot in the RBC Cup on the line in addition to a second title of the season the Terriers would get a heavy boost from a strong travelling contingent of York-ton fans who made the short two and a half hour drive to Manitoba to watch their team play for the Western Canada Cup. With very close to half of the crowd in Dauphin cheering on Yorkton, a masterful per-formance from their in-season acquisition in Boehm would give the Terriers the Western Canada Cup as a four goal game from the former Flin Flon Bomber earned them a thrilling regulation time win over the Kings and their fi rst RBC Cup appearance since 2006. Looking to fi nally get over the National Championship hump, the Terriers would yet again fi nd a way to make things diffi cult for themselves in Vernon in the early stages of the round robin. Suffering an upset to the Toronto-Lake-shore Patriots in the opening game, the Terriers would then fall behind 5-1 to the Vernon Vipers in the second game of their round robin schedule. Having to pull Thomson from goal the Terriers would get the score to 5-4 in a furious come-back, but eventually would fall to 0-2 and into a must win situation for their fi nal two games. Playing the Carleton Place Canadians in their fi rst of two must win contests, the Ter-riers would fall down 1-0 in the fi rst period and give the fans watching on television at home and those who travelled to Vernon one more scare be-fore making the type of come-back that has became their trademark over the past two seasons.

Terrier win – a moment in history that will live on
“Small moments may be forgotten over time, the reality of sports is that there will always be a more
recent memory to cloud an old one no matter how successful the
memory may be, but the historic run of the 2013/14 Yorkton
Terriers is something that will likely be remembered forever.
It is deserved...”– Chase Ruttig
“It’s been an honor” – Trent Cassan, head coach Yorkton Terriers head coach Trent Cassan knew all about the team and their history of searching for their fi rst ever RBC Cup when he took over as head coach a few short sea-sons ago. After all, Cassan was a former player in his Junior days before stepping up the coaching ladder in Yorkton as an assistant coach and then taking over the reigns as the team’s bench boss. What Cassan wasn’t able to accomplish as a player in making a run to the RBC Cup the now longtime fi xture in Yorkton hockey has found the greatest success of any coach in the Terriers organization history as in just four seasons of coaching Cassan has a long list of accomplishments in guiding the team to some of their greatest heights. In his full seasons as head coach Cassan has guided the Terriers to three berths in the SJHL Finals, taking experi-ences from a loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves in 2011 and a fi rst round exit to the Mel-ville Millionaires in 2012 to help mold and coach a team that became the best team in Canada over the past two sea-
sons. After back to back league championships and this sea-son’s RBC Cup run Cassan’s accomplishments include: Three SJHL Finals appear-ances Two SJHL Champion-ships, the Western Canada Cup, SJHL Coach of the Year (2012/13 season), asst. coach of Team Canada West at the World Junior A Cham-pionships, and the Ter-riers fi rst ever National Championship to put the cherry on top of the “Cas-san Era.” Of course the humble head coach would never tell you his long resume is the product of solely his doing, always quick to credit his coworkers in his staff in addition to having a coachable group of hard working players for much of his now quickly growing ac-colades as a young coach. Giving scout Gerry Car-son and general manager Don Chesney in addi-tion to assistants Casey O’Brien, Gord Pritchard and John Odgers high praise for assisting him
in helping to build and lead a National champion. “I am lucky to have a staff that not only are all great hockey minds, but also make it fun to come to the rink ev-eryday,” says Cassan. “I know without the contributions of all of the fellow coaches and staff members this would not have been possible.”
Cassan also thanked the team for allowing him to take time off in-season to help coach Canada West, a fi rst ever hon-or for the young coach in work-ing with Hockey Canada. “It was an honor to be able to represent the organization in helping coach for Hockey Canada this winter and with-out the great support behind
me from the team as well as from our staff to be able to step in it would not have been possible to help me grow as a coach so for that I am thankful.” A coach that has been able to rally around a fa-miliar cast over the past two seasons, it was natu-ral that Cassan heaped a ton of praise for both his players as well as his cap-tain in Devon McMullen for their efforts and atti-tudes they brought to the team concept. “What more can you say about a group of young men who wanted to be coached as well as were willing to do what-ever was asked of them by either myself or by our assistants in addition to
also being quality young men off of the ice,” says Cassan. “It is hard not to be extremely proud of these guys even if they didn’t win the RBC Cup because they are all winners.” “When you look at a player like Devon McMullen who was always willing to put the team fi rst, to do whatever we asked of him you can see why this group was special and to see him go out as the most deco-rated captain in Yorkton Ter-riers history shows the type of players we have.” Lastly Cassan closed by praising the Terriers organi-zation in allowing him his fi rst opportunity as a head coach after spending his Junior ca-reer here as a player, refl ect-ing on his journey that has seen him help guide Yorkton to their fi rst RBC Cup. “It truly has been an honor to represent the Yorkton Ter-riers,” says Cassan. “From top to bottom everyone in this or-ganization is great to work for and I appreciate everything they have done for me and to be able to not only coach here but to be able to win an RBC Cup has been an unbelievable thrill.”

Terriers a special team: GM Don Chesney Yorkton Terriers general manager Don Chesney has seen it all in his long run through Saskatchewan’s hockey scene, most of it spent in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. A former SJHL All-Star as a player and a Coach of the Year with both the Lebret Eagles and Yorkton Terriers, Chesney’s few unachieved accom-plishments when he took over the reigns as GM in Yorkton were the SJHL title as well as an RBC Cup. In 2012/13 Chesney achieved one of those goals, winning the SJHL title with the Terriers but after a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the Brooks Bandits at the Western Canada Cup Chesney would have to wait for both his fi rst RBC Cup title as well as his fi rst appearance in the National Ju-nior A Championships. Building a talented roster of vet-erans for the 2013/14 season before winning the SJHL title a year ahead of schedule, Chesney and the Ter-riers front offi ce were rewarded for smart roster building by the way of the team’s most successful season in history. Chesney didn’t just oversee from above as general manager, he also stepped into a helping role behind the bench during a tough Novem-ber road swing where the Terriers were without both head coach Trent
Cassan and assistant coach Casey O’Brien, joining assistant Gord Prit-chard behind the bench for a week stretch. Loved by many around the area for his charisma as well as his proven track record to assemble both suc-cessful and entertaining Junior hockey teams, Chesney’s ability to bring a team together with his many stories in addition to a keen eye for building a team has been credited by head coach Trent Cassan as instru-
mental in the team’s success. Helping to bring in key players in-season in Brett Boehm and Riley Hunt, Chesney’s reign as general manager has been a successful one, but he credits a great group of play-ers and staff for their successes. “I have been with a lot of hockey teams in my career in Saskatchewan hockey, but this one has been spe-cial,” says Chesney. “Every player has been willing to fi ll any role we have asked them to, and the coaching staff has been
equally as great to work with and when you have that type of team-work it is easier to succeed than it is to fail.” Chesney also credited captain De-von McMullen and a veteran laden team for their ability to lead the team in addition to the coaching staff. “We have been lucky to have a good captain in Devon and players who all wanted to win for each other, which combined with the work of the coach-ing staff and front offi ce has helped us to achieve what we have this past season.” The long serving Chesney has en-joyed the ride with Yorkton after wild years as a head coach in both Junior A and Junior B, seeing him coach teams to varying degrees of success-es and failures, winning Coach of the Year with the Lebret Eagles before the team went bankrupt, getting fi red from various teams, and taking several teams on memorable runs before his highest successes coming in his new general manager role with the Terriers. After a long career, Chesney is still living the dream in hockey. “After all these years, I am still a hockey guy” Chesney closed during his speech at the Terriers banquet. With a fi rst ever National Champi-onship to his name, it is hard to ar-gue the local legend.
Success is a team effort: Dave Baron, Terriers president Replacing Lyle Walsh as Yorkton Terriers team Presi-dent, Dave Baron entered his run as the face behind the scenes of the defending SJHL champions with the expecta-tions that 2013/14 could be a potentially historic season for the hockey club. Little did Baron know that his fi rst year serving as the team president would be the best season in the history of the community owned club who lifted their fi rst ever National Champion-ship this year. Beyond winning the Nation-al Championship for the fi rst time at the 2014 RBC Cup in Vernon, the Terriers enjoyed sellout crowds in the SJHL Semifi nals against the Hum-boldt Broncos before selling out both of their home games in a two game sweep over their rival Melville Millionaires in
the fi rst ever series between the two Highway 10 rivals in the league championship. Making the city proud with a season to remember, Baron was also proud of the way the team represented themselves on a national stage. “Communities need identi-ties that they can be proud of,” said Baron during his speech at the Terriers year end ban-quet. “I feel that as an organi-zation our team represented an identity that they all can be proud of, whether it be in our community in Yorkton or in their own individual com-munities, our team represent-
ed themselves in a way that we can all be proud of and not just in winning the National Championship.” In addition to praising the Terriers players for winning three championships this spring, Baron credited the staff of Trent Cassan, Casey O’Brien, Gord Pritchard, Ger-ry Carson, Don Chesney and John Odgers for their work whether it was on the bench or behind the scenes in the front offi ce. Mentioning that with-out their leadership, the long journey to lifting the RBC Cup may not have been possible. “Our wonderful staff of
coaches, general managers and scouts prepared the team in a way that our team had whatever could be controlled in control thanks to great coaching and leadership along with hard work in preparing the players for whatever came their way” praised Baron. Baron also thanked the com-munity of Yorkton for rallying behind the team, thanking them for the countless support during a historic year for the team. “We truly have some of the best fans in the country,” said Baron. “From purchasing sea-son tickets to fi lling the rink
for the playoffs before travel-ling to the Western Canada Cup and then all the way to Vernon our fans are the rea-son we have worked so hard to accomplish this goal.” Lastly Baron thanked the volunteers and behind the scenes individuals who make the Terriers operations run so smoothly each season. “Our offi ce staff and board members also deserve to be credited in addition to the vol-unteers who make each Terri-ers home game a possibility,” said Baron. “From 50/50 sales to billets housing players for nearly nine months of the year and more that goes into the opera-tions of a Junior hockey team that you realize we get a lot of help from volunteers that needs to be recognized and thanked.”
“I have been with a lot of hockey teams
in my career in Saskatchewan
hockey, but this one has been special... Every player has been willing to fi ll any role we have asked them to...”
– Don Chesney
“We truly have some of the best fans in the country... From purchasing season tickets to fi lling the rink... our
fans are the reason we have worked so hard to accomplish this goal.” – Dave Baron

After being a part of the Terriers team that lost to the La Ronge Ice Wolves in Game Seven of the SJHL Finals in his be-ginnings with the Terriers, captain Devon McMullen got over the hump in 2012/13 as captain of the Terriers lifting the Can-alta Cup in what was a strong season de-spite the Terriers falling one goal short of the RBC Cup in a heartbreaking loss to the Brooks Bandits. Heading into his fi -nal season as Terriers captain in 2013/14, McMullen made it his mission as captain to go out with a redemption season with the goal of a berth in the RBC Cup in mind for the already accomplished defen-seman. That goal was realized as McMullen helped guide the Terriers to their fi rst ever National Championship, qualifying for the RBC Cup and winning it after al-ready securing a second SJHL title along with the Western Canada Cup. Allowing McMullen to go out as Terriers captain as one the most decorated captain of all time according to his head coach Trent Cassan along with general manager Don Chesney who both heaped a ton of praise towards a player who played his entire Junior Ca-reer with the orange, white and black. McMullen registered 74 regular season points in four seasons as a Yorkton Ter-rier, but what was most impressive about the long serving captain was his abil-ity to help guide Yorkton to deep playoff runs in three of his four seasons with the Terriers where McMullen would play in league fi nals. Losing to La Ronge in the SJHL Finals in his fi rst season before a rare fi rst round exit to the Melville Mil-lionaires in his second season, McMullen would become captain and guide the Ter-riers to their two longest playoff runs in recent memory. Ultimately playing in 51 SJHL Playoff games as a Yorkton Terrier and many more in postseason tournament play over the past two years, McMullen more than deserved his praise from Cas-san and Chesney as being the most ac-
complished Terriers captain to don the “C” on his sweater. The native of Moosomin, McMullen’s status of a fan favorite and success in Yorkton ties in for his love of a city that he feels was the best possible place he could of spent his Junior career. “Winning for the city of Yorkton was always important to me,” says McMullen. “Especially this season when you see all of the fan sup-port and the way the Terriers travelled to Dauphin and Vernon after we won the SJHL title it was special to be able to give the city their fi rst ever RBC Cup in his-tory.” A team fi rst player who led by example as captain, McMullen naturally credited teammates who have helped him along the way for his success as well as for the memories he has made as a Terrier. “We had a great team of players that got along with each other and all wanted to play for one another for the goal of winning an-other league title and to potentially go to the RBC Cup which really helped in the end.” Ending his Junior career on a high note, McMullen is currently planning his op-tions before deciding what the next step in both his career as a hockey player as well as in life will be. Winning the Scho-lastic Award and pursuing a future ca-reer in dentistry as a post-Junior hockey goal, McMullen’s fi nal words as a Terri-ers captain were of how proud he was to represent a team that allowed him the op-portunity to make the most of a long and successful four years of Junior hockey in the city. “It has been a great ride playing for an organization that has always been there for whatever I have needed and has helped me develop for such a long time,” says McMullen. “From the coaching staff, to teammates, to people in the front of-fi ce and working for the team to the great fans it has been an honor to be a Yorkton Terrier for my Junior hockey career.”
It’s been a great ride: McMullen

Three unanswered goals would give York-ton a massive 3-1 regu-lation win and send the Terriers into a round robin fi nale with the Dauphin Kings between them and a berth in the RBC Cup semifi nals. Against the Kings the Terriers would need overtime after Tyler Giebel’s lone goal al-lowed Yorkton to level with Dauphin in a 1-1 game through regula-tion time. There Derek Falloon would become the hero, scoring an overtime winner and continuing the Terri-ers season after many had written them off following their losses in the opening two games. Never saying die, the Terriers players fought back to get to where they wanted to be since the beginning of the season and were just two games away from the team’s fi rst ever RBC Cup. Still, the odds would be stacked against them yet again when they drew the hosts in the Vernon Vipers in the semifi nal. For the fi rst time all RBC Cup the Terriers would get out on the front foot against the hosts, making all of the momentum theirs in what was their best per-formance since heading out to Vernon. Taking a 2-1 lead in the fi rst period, Yorkton would hold on thanks to third period insurance mark-ers from Daylan Gatzke and Tayler Thompson to beat the host Vipers 6-3 and book their fi rst spot in the RBC Cup Fi-nal since 2006. Getting to showcase their brand of hockey on national television on TSN as an added re-ward for qualifying for the National Champi-onship Game, coming
up against a team they beat in the round robin in the Carleton Place Canadians. Things didn’t exactly go to the script of the coaching staff early on in the Final as the Terri-ers not only gave up the game’s fi rst goal before Gatzke answered back to end the fi rst period 1-1, but conceded two costly goals in the sec-ond period to Carleton Place that put the team down 3-1 going into the fi nal 20 minutes of their season. Those 20 minutes dwindled down to less than 10 minutes to keep their National Champion-ship hopes alive, hopes
that appeared all but gone when Dylan John-son was assessed a late penalty to put Yorkton on the penalty kill and needing two goals just to force an overtime. Needing something special to happen, the Terriers never gave up and were rewarded. Kale Thomson made massive saves to kill the penalty before an unsung defenseman in Tanner Lischynsky scored the biggest goal of his life to bring York-ton back within a goal with just under 3:00 left on the clock to fi nd an equalizer. They would just need eight seconds to force
OT as a hometown hero in Dylan Johnson would help make his-tory, fi nding a beauti-ful feed from captain Devon McMullen to tie the game suddenly and send the Yorkton fans in Vernon and watching back home into a fren-zy. With the chips all on the table, the Terri-ers found one more turn of “luck” to keep their RBC Cup hopes going into a sudden death overtime for the entire country to witness on TSN. Johnson, a native of Yorkton, rallying the troops with a huge goal that felt like destiny as the sad story of the Ter-riers falling just short
of the RBC Cup Final as they did in 2006 be-ing rewritten into one of the greatest come-backs in Junior hockey history in a matter of seconds. In overtime the Terri-ers naturally had all the momentum following the heroics of Johnson, but would need 15:01 of play to fi nd history. Once again it would be Derek Falloon, a player who would be playing in his last Junior game after an injury plagued season, who would be the hero as the forward found a juicy rebound on his stick and slot-ted the puck past the Carelton Place goal-tender for what will be forever remembered as the iconic moment that gave Yorkton its fi rst RBC Cup. For a team that had a silent mis-sion to reach the high-est mountain in Junior A hockey from the be-ginning of the season, it was a long time com-ing. The City of Yorkton has long had a love for their Yorkton Terriers as well as the Saskatch-ewan Junior Hockey League, unsurprisingly going hand in hand with mostly consistent success for the team during their history. Numerous banners up in the rafters of the Farrell Agencies Arena will point to a long and proud history that had included many SJHL and Anavet Cup cham-pionships to show just how close many teams before came to achiev-ing history. Even the team that came before them, the 2012/13 Ter-riers, showed just how easy it is to fall short in losing 1-0 to the eventu-al RBC Cup champions one game away from a spot in the tournament. The many outliers of a championship season
preventing all the teams before them from an ac-complishment that one of only well over 150 Junior A teams gets to achieve this season. That is what makes the 2013/14 Yorkton Terriers so special. En-tering the season with the knowledge of just how hard it is to achieve glory, a team with a tight bond worked ev-eryday to accomplish something statistically improbable. Overcom-ing injuries, slumps, elimination games, sud-den death overtimes, bad bounces, bad offi -ciating, and even bet-ter opponents on some nights to do what no other team before them could. Lifting a Nation-al Championship that has taken the Yorkton Terriers organization countless decades to ac-complish. Many memorable Terriers will leave the team and the city with a lasting memory that will ensure their place in history. Players in Devon McMullen, Kale Thomson, and Tayler Thompson nearly play-ing almost all of their Midget and Junior hockey games in the city to leave it with a banner that will likely hang in the rafters for-ever. Small moments may be forgotten over time, the reality of sports is that there will always be a more recent mem-ory to cloud an old one no matter how success-ful the memory may be, but the historic run of the 2013/14 Yorkton Terriers is something that will likely be re-membered forever. It is deserved, after all it took over 40 years to accomplish a feat that many have dreamed about. A fi rst ever Ju-nior A National Cham-pionship.
A proud moment in Yorkton sports history

Great Season!
Given how instrumental both Kale Thomson and Chase Norrish were to their own individual successes as well as the Terriers RBC Cup run, it was no surprise when the blueline/goalie combo were named co-MVP’s for the 2013/14 Yorkton Terriers season. Norrish was a crucial factor in Kale Thomson’s CJHL Goaltender of the Year nomination as well as SJHL Top Goaltender of the Year honors, man-ning the Terriers blueline that was arguably the best in the country along with twin Brother Brady who was the 2012/13 Terriers MVP to allow the least goals in the league this season. In addition to being a stingy defend-er thanks to his fast skating, Norrish also scored nine goals and registered 45 points in the SJHL regular season before turning things up in the play-offs where he was Yorkton’s MVP. Scoring numerous overtime winners to help Yorkton win the SJHL title with just two losses, Norrish scored seven goals in total along with eight assists
for 15 playoff points. In the WCC/RBC Norrish continued to show his scoring touch, putting the puck in the back of the net three more times to end his Terriers career as a National Cham-pion. Norrish says that he is proud to end his Terriers season as a National Champion over any individual acco-lade. “It is nice to win the MVP, but I think I will enjoy the memories I made in winning the RBC Cup with so many great teammates.” Thomson enjoyed success in his only full year as the number one goalie for the Terriers, taking control of the full role of starter after splitting time with Dawson MacAuley to end his Ju-nior career amongst the country’s best goaltenders at the Junior A level, even setting the SJHL record for career shutouts in the process while posting a 1.89 goals against average in the regu-lar season. Thomson, a Yorkton native saved his best performance for the SJHL Finals, allowing just three goals total in a four game sweep over the rival Melville
Millionaires to lift the Canalta Cup for the fi rst time as a starter. His num-bers dipped in the Westerns as well as the RBC Cup after battling with the fl u, but Thomson stepped his game up when it mattered the most in a long string of elimination games to get the team to the National Championship. After spending his whole Junior career with Yorkton, Kale is also glad to go out on top, even more so considering his Yorkton roots. “Being from Yorkton it is always a dream to go and win the RBC Cup with the team never winning the big championship,” says Thomson. “We knew we would be expected to win the league so it was our big goal to go out and prove that we could win it and we did which is a great way to end our ca-reers.” Norrish will be heading to the NCAA D-I’s RIT Tigers while Thomson is cur-rently weighing out post-secondary options for hockey after a strong fi nal season with the Terriers, both going out as a key fi xtures in the team’s most memorable season.

While their Highway 10 rivals en-joyed success in the 2013 Western Major Baseball League season as the Melville Millionaires lifted the title in glory at the end of last summer, the Yorkton Cardinals endured another season of losing baseball as the ball-club once again failed to make the playoffs. In fact the Cardinals have failed to make the playoffs for fi ve straight sea-sons, a streak that is hard to believe is a reality based on the fact that in re-cent seasons only the last place team in the division misses out on postsea-son play. Meaning the Cardinals have spent a lot of time in the East Division cellar, understandable considering the
Regina Red Sox and Melville’s recent dominance in the league. Still a 16-30 record and being out of postseason contention before the fi nal week of the season is far from a prod-uct that will drive fans to Jubilee Park every night and fi nishing second last in the league will be something that the Cardinals will be hoping is not a repeat as they look to conquer a streak of missing the playoffs that has been going on for far too long. Not everything was negative about the Cardinals 2013 campaign as the team showed some fi ght once eliminat-ed from the playoffs, banding together and going on a four game win streak to end the year off on a positive note even if they fell two wins shy of the Weyburn Beavers for the third place playoff spot in the East.
That streak near the end of the sea-son may have been enough to convince manager Bill Sobkow to bring back a handful of returning Cardinals play-ers for the 2014 season, the second year of the Western league being a 100% summer league for college play-ers from Canada, the United States and beyond. One of the positions that will be see-ing the most returnees in 2014 will be the pitchers as the Cardinals are plan-ning on bringing back several key arms from a staff that was hit or miss last year, allowing most of the standouts to return in the hope that they can per-form well and mix with the new faces to put together a potent pitching staff this year.

YORKTON CARDINALS LOOK TO END PLAYOFF DROUGHT - After missing out on the 2013 WMBL Playoffs despite a four gamewinning streak to end the season, the Yorkton Cardinals will be hoping that 2014 is finally the year where the team can get out of the cellar and play playoff baseball. File Photo.

The Yorkton Storm Swim Club had thir-teen swimmers attend the Saskatoon Lazers Septathlon Meet recently. The meet took place in the beautiful Shaw Centre, the site of the Canada Games swim venue. This was the second long course meet of the season for the Yorkton swimmers. With the closing of the Lawson Aquatic Centre in Regina for meets due to air quality issues there is a real shortage of long course meets for the club to attend this season. The absence of meets in Regina made the Lazer Septathlon extremely attractive to swimmers from across the province and into Manitoba. More swimmers meant more competi-tion. The extra compe-tition showed on the podium, only tow Yorkton swimmers cracked the top three at
the event. Jennifer Haczkewicz (14) medalled in all five of her events. She cap-tured gold in the 100m Freestyle, and 100m Backstroke, she also added silver in the 50m Butterfly. She went on to finish the meet by adding three bronze medals to her collection in the 50m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke, and the 200m Freestyle. Matlyn Bulych (8) came home with Yorkton’s only other hardware from the meet. She captured a silver medal in the 50m Butterfly and later added a bronze in the 50m Breaststroke. Bulych has come into her own this swim sea-son and is proving to her competition that she is a force to be reck-oned with when she steps up onto the start-ing blocks. The really neat thing about Matlyn’s top three finishes is that she is competing against girls that are two years older than
she is. Expect to hear much more from Bulych in future events. When it came to swimming “A” and “AA” standard times, the club picked right up where they left off in Brandon, the last meet they attended. The thirteen swimmers amassed an unprece-dented twenty-two “A” times along with seven “AA” times. The story of the meet was easily the efforts and results turned in by Auston Roberts (13). This young man has been knocking on the door of an “A” qualify-ing time for several seasons. In Saskatoon, Roberts managed not one, but an awesome four “A” times to add his name to the list of Yorkton swimmers attending the “A” Provincial Long Course Meet in Swift Current. Coach Ashley Benko admitted to getting a little teary-eyed with Auston’s accomplish-ment. “I am so proud of Auston, and of all our
swimmers, they have been achieving great things this season,” she added, “Everyone in our Yorkton section knew how close Auston was, so when he did it the section erupted!” Along with Auston Roberts, Matlyn Bulych, Kaitlyn Burkell, Bryant Jones and Tea Rohatensky also added an “A” stan-dard time to their swimming resumes at this meet. Their addi-tion brings the total number of Yorkton swimmers that have qualified for provincials to eleven. Benko inserted,
“We’ve never had this many swimmers quali-fy for a provincial meet, I’m completely ecstat-ic!” Competitive swim-ming is alive and well in the city of Yorkton. Next up for the club
its back to the pool to ramp up their training efforts. The next meet for the team will be the Provincial “A” Long Course Meet in Swift Current during the first weekend in June.

Jacksonville, Alabama’s Jeff Pool is one of those starters as the work-horse for the Cardinals who set the team record for innings pitched in a season last year with 59.1 innings of work will return to the team. Pool’s record and numbers were nothing eye popping as he held a 4.39 ERA and a 3-5 record on the mound, but his ability to provide durability and work high numbers of innings will be something that Sobkow should appreciate down the stretch this season. Local talent Kody Rock will also return to the Yorkton pitching staff as the Canora product was announced as one of the Cards 2014 returnees this offseason. Rock was young of the younger players on the Cardinals last season, but he still managed to do some steady work in relief from time to time and even finished fifth on the team in strikeouts. Entering his second season in the WMBL expect a more productive season from the lanky hurler from just outside of Yorkton. Another notable local talent that will be pitching for the Cardinals this season will be Yorkton’s Derek Marshall as the former Yorkton Minor Baseball product and Sacred Heart grad will be making his WMBL debut after a season playing college ball at Southeastern Illinois. The former Yorkton Yankees pitcher will be looking to prove his worth against players who should be much older than the young and barely removed
from high school Marshall, some-thing that should help his develop-ment at the same time as allowing him to represent his hometown team this summer. Kameron Mizzell will also return to the fold for the Cardinals giving the Yorkton club a versatile player who had one of the best bats on the team in addition to being able to play both pitcher and catcher. If Sobkow can get production from Mizzell as he did last season the Yorkton lineup could also improve in 2014. With many new faces and return-ing ones coming to Yorkton for expe-rience in one of the best summer baseball leagues in Canada the Yorkton Cardinals know that they will need to improve across the board should they make a run to having their first winning season in years. Balancing developing young college ballplayers skills while also finding ways to win as much as possible has been no easy task in recent years, but after a long stretch with no play-offs it is quite clear that the Cardinals will need a rejuvenation in the club soon to get a winning atmosphere back around Jubilee Park. To create a winning atmosphere you first need a good roster to build around, that is what the Cardinals fans and supporters will be hoping they have for the first time in a long while as they await Opening Day. Without playoff baseball for far too long, hopefully this will be the year where the summer magic of follow-ing a winning baseball team finds its way back to the city.
Cards 2014 season preview
CANORA’S KODY ROCK returns to the Yorkton Cardinals for the 2014 season after finishing fifth on the team in strikeouts during his rookie season. Yorkton’s Derek Marshall will also join the Cardinals pitching staff this year, giving the team some local ballplayers to root for in what should be an exciting year of baseball for the club that will be aiming to end a playoff drought this season.

Goodbye to NHL on TSN
For those who have for-gotten the days of the early 00’s and before that, the NHL on TSN has been the staple of Canadian cable cover-age of the country’s big-gest sport. For as long as many Canadians can remember, the country’s sports leader has had the best possible cover-age for fans of the NHL. From the top insid-ers in the likes of Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger to the top fi red coaches and recently retired players on their top notch panel (Even though this journalist would prefer if jobs went to those who actually need them rather than former players) and host James Duthie, the NHL on TSN has been a best friend to hockey fans. Al-ways there every night to sit down and have a talk about whatever that night’s events may be. From the NHL Draft to “Free Agency Frenzy” to the NHL Trade Dead-line to the Conference Finals, rarely did TSN not have their bases covered when it came to covering the sport the network wisely made its top priority for each year they have had broacaster’s rights. That was until Rogers came in and swooped ex-clusive national broad-casting rights to the NHL in Canada, squeez-ing out both CBC and TSN to take what is go-ing to be a rather large
monopoly of hockey cov-erage away from what viewers have always felt was better coverage. Es-sentially taking TSN’s “National” feel and try-ing to convert it into Sportsnet’s umbrella, a channel that has made their way into competi-tion with TSN by sell-ing themselves with a regional feel. The real losers in this will be CBC as thanks to Conservative budget cuts and the guaran-teed killing of ad sales revenue that is about to come thanks to their new policy to cut back on their budget by not bid-ding for sports fees, but besides for the killing of our free national broad-caster’s tradition in this the NHL’s new TV deal is also going to dramati-cally change the face of sports coverage in this country altogether. With TSN now only holding regional rights to the Montreal Ca-nadiens and Winnipeg Jets for the distant fu-ture and CBC planning on eventually getting phased out of the mar-ketplace down the road by Sportsnet, Canada’s top two broadcasters in terms of quality cover-age and production as well as ratings have been bought out by the upstart Rogers. I don’t doubt that Rogers has a plan to up their game, and getting rid of regional blackouts will likely be the best way to extend the olive branch to many viewers who have treated the demise of the NHL on TSN as a funeral. One can only imagine what the reaction of CBC’s
eventual exit from the NHL game will be, but for broadcasting nerds like myself as well as hockey fans across the country Rogers monop-oly on hockey in this country poses a scary new future with just one option to go to for our NHL coverage fi x.
Blue Jays on Fire
If you asked Toronto Blue Jays fans their ex-pectations of the 2014 season on Opening Day they would have been drastically different than in 2013 when Ve-gas had the team listed as early World Series favorites after a splashy spending offseason. After everything went wrong last year and Ervin Santana went to Atlanta in free agency instead of Toronto you couldn’t be blamed for low expectations from a team that looked like it could potentially fi nish last in the ultra-tough AL East. Fast forward to late May and Toronto is on an eight game win-ning streak, including sweeps of the defend-ing champion Red Sox as well as the best team in baseball in the Oak-land A’s that has fans
believing that anything is possible. Jose Reyes is healthy, the bats are red hot and the pitching has been decent enough that the Jays hold a three game lead in the AL East heading into the third month of the season. It is still too early to start dreaming of the playoffs, as any Jays fan will tell you this week. But with the NHL Play-offs winding down and the summer months fast approaching, you are starting to get the feeling that there is a little bit of magic in the Blue Jays clubhouse this year. For the sake of long suffering fans in this country, hopefully the hot streak rides long enough that Toronto has a lead they can’t blow down the stretch to end their 20+ year playoff drought.
CMNT Improving Slowly
With the World Cup two weeks away on Thurs-day, Canada has began their push to build the National Team for 2018 World Cup Qualifi ca-tions after falling well short on the Road to Rio. With a new manager and a much younger team sheet with rebuild-ing on the mind and not wins in meaningless in-ternational friendlies, Canada fi nally showed some life after disaster over the past year with two 1-1 draws against
European opposition this week. Drawing Bulgaria was impressive and even if Moldova won’t be con-sidered world beaters any time soon, it was nice to see the National Team give the country some hope for the future while 32 countries get ready for the World Cup. If Canada is ever to get to that stage it will start by gaining confi dence, results like these are a good start.

– Sask. mayors meet
Infrastructure
frustrates
By DEVIN WILGER
N-R Writer
The Saskatchewan City Mayors Caucus recently met
in Lloydminster, and there was one topic that domi-
nated – infrastructure. The mayors of this province are
frustrated about infrastructure and the impending
need to replace and repair much of it, and the goal of
the caucus was to organize and lobby all levels of gov-
ernment to push for the priorities of urban municipali-
ties. Yorkton’s Mayor Bob Maloney says the cities are all
facing the same problem, and that’s crumbling infra-
structure that needs to be replaced or rebuilt. With the
cities growing and the last major infrastructure
improvement often being decades previous, work needs
to be done, but the funds to actually do it are more dif-
ficult to access and reduced in number.
“The problem we’re facing is that the provincial and
federal governments used to play a much bigger role
than they are now. While they are able to cut taxes,
and I give them credit for that, we’re not in that situa-
tion. We’ve got crumbling roads and a lot of work that
needs to be done and it costs a lot of money. The cost of
asphalt for example is going up thirty per cent year
over year, one and two and three per cent increases are
not going to pay for that. The cities are all in the same
boat, I know there are bridges in Saskatoon and Prince
Albert, and roads in Regina, and it’s something we all
need to address.” For Yorkton, it’s the roads that are
the primary issue, with the multi-year project to
rebuild Broadway that is currently being planned.
Maloney says uncertainty about funding formulas and
how to access programs like the Build Canada fund
have meant that some work has begun just to make it
usable.Continued on Page 3.

The Sunrise Health
Region was recently rec-
ognized for efforts to make
health care better for
Saskatchewan residents.
The Pursuing Excellence
Awards were presented at
a special ceremony held
as part of the fourth
annual Inspire Health
Care Quality Summit,
hosted by Saskatchewan’s
Health Quality Council
(HQC). Sunrise Health
Region received two of the
eight awards given out in
the province. The Mental Health and
Addictions Services Crisis
Assessment Team (CAT)
received an award in the
“Better Teams” category
for making improvements
resulting in services with
no wait list and providing
service to more clients in
a more timely way to meet
client needs – whether
the outpatient mental
health clinic, Yorkton
Regional Health Centre,
rural clinics or in the cli-
ents own homes. The tar-
geted strategy allowed
the team to achieve their
goals in less than two
months with clients voic-
ing their satisfaction
about being seen quickly
and with the improved
response time to service.
The department of
Pharmacy improvement
team received a “Better
Value” award for their
work to reduce inventory
levels in all medication
storage areas while main-
taining an adequate sup-
ply of medication on-hand
to meet patient needs in
the Yorkton Regional
Health Centre. Work
included comparing
inventory levels from the
previous two years, gath-
ering medication order
histories and reviewing
variances month-to-
month. The team applied
lean methodology to all
medication rooms, includ-
ing the storage area.
Through this initiative,
there has been a savings
of $76,000 in inventory
ordered and stocked by
care units, and an 84 per
cent reduction in expired
inventory in an affiliate
facility.
“I am impressed by the
tremendous advance-
ments made by the men-
tal health and addiction
services team and the
pharmacy team, and
proud of the recognition
that our region has once
again received in this
year’s Pursuing Excellence
Awards,” comments
Suann Laurent, President
and CEO. “To have our
success in lean manage-
ment and these teams
being acknowledged by
our peers is truly a nod to
our commitment to ongo-
ing client centred care.”
Sunrise Health Region
representatives also had
the opportunity to pres-
ent and educate attendees
on a variety of topics
including: • Child and family cen-
tred care; • Lean improvements
and,; • Working towards
eliminating surgical site
infections.
