The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is starting the new year with new art, pre-senting three very differ-ent exhibitions.

In the largest of the galleries, “Dear Edward” is a response to famed photographer Edward Weston by Jennifer Crane, taking his techniques with pinhole cameras and com-bining them with writings responding to Weston’s work and biography.

The images are Crane’s attempt to use the same techniques as Weston did, using a pinhole camera and very long exposures to create the photographs. The text contrasts with the images, being about Crane’s use of the tech-niques, her response to Weston’s life and biogra-phy, and taking images that could be considered austere and making them very persona.

“It makes Edward Weston way more approachable. She talks about his children, the food he was eating, his notorious reputation as a womanizer, some of the famous photographers he was associated with. But it’s not a history lesson, somehow it’s very inti-mate,” says Don Stein, Executive Director of the Godfrey Dean.

The writing is an entry point for the images which Stein admits would be dif-ficult to approach without some kind of context.

“They’re black and white, they’re kind of harsh, they’re very simple subjects... They have size and power, but if you didn’t have some point of entry they would be very perplexing... When you see the connection to what she was getting at it adds all of this richness to it.”

Crane also designed the gallery space, going so far as to move the furni-ture to better compliment the images, Stein reveals.

“The space she created kind of reflects the aes-thetic in that modernist image creation.

“Money, Sovereignty & Power” looks at the cur-rency in the Ukraine in the revolutionary period between 1917 and 1920. Organized by Bohdan Kordan and the Prairie Centre for the Study of

Ukrainian Heritage at the University of Saskat che-wan, the show uses money to educate about the era and the different regime changes that impacted an independent Ukraine dur-ing the period.

“The currency was a way of them trying to define themselves as a sovereign state, and money does that. But there were regime chang-es very quickly, every three months even in that three year period, and every successive govern-ing group would affect the currency, just the way they tried to legitimize their rule using historical images.”

The currency on dis-play ranges from colourful bank notes to simple stamps on older currency, showing the rapid turn-over and the priorities taken by each regime as they design the currency

in their image.The striking thing

about the currency is the common threads, symbols that last through different regimes and different attempts at currency design. Stein compares it to the maple leaf in Canada, national symbols that define a country no matter who is in charge.

“There is that national pride in certain things.”

In the Serpentine gal-lery is local photographer Todd Schick, with images of old cars, diners and buildings that shows a cer-tain nostalgic perspective.

“He’s got a terrific eye for detail, but it looks very nostalgic for the great American car culture era, maybe from the ‘60s and ‘70s.”

Focused on exploring the details of cars, diners and buildings, Stein says that they capture a specif-ic mood and atmosphere, and Stein says it allows people to make their own vision of what the story behind the subject.

“Someone said they liked them so much because they allowed you to make a story in the pic-ture. Not that the picture

told a story necessarily, but that it has enough in it that you can create some meaning, you can create some kind of storytelling based on the image.”

That show was an experiment for Stein, as he turned over the reigns to the Photography 30 class at Yorkton Regional High School to curate the show and select the imag-es. He explains that this was done as a response to their feedback at a recent exhibition of food photog-raphy.

“They were harshly critical, not of the photo-

graphs but of whoever put the show up. Well that was me! So I read them, and I was just so pleased because they were totally truthful.”

Stein invited them to re-sequence the show, which he admits turned out stronger than it was initially. As a result, he got them to select the images for Schick’s show.

“They came up with a very unique take, I would not have picked some of the images they did. Their taste and their aesthetic was very clear and quite nice.”

Three new exhibitions at the Godfrey Dean

THE GODFREY DEAN is opening the new year with new work, with three exhibitions being featured in the gallery. “Dear Edward” by Jennifer Crane, “Money, Sovereignty & Power” organized by Bohdan Kordan and the Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage at the University of Saskatchewan and photographs by Todd Schick of Melville.

A Special Publication of THE NEWS REVIEW

Director of Mental Health & Addictions Services, Gary Shepherd, recently presented to the Sunrise Regional Health Authority on the progress fulfilling the recommendations of the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan for Saskatchewan.

“Within the health region we see many opportunities to further develop and support objectives of the Mental Health Action Plan,” com-ments Shepherd.

The health region made sifgnificant improvements in 2015 and expects to continue to explore the use of crisis and obser-vation beds, detox beds, maternal mental health screening, increasing the focus on seniors mental health, more use of on-line therapy and Healthline for persons seeking after hours mental health sup-ports, and increasing supports for youth inter-vention and education, especially in the areas of substance use and early psychosis.

Mental Health First Aid and Addictions Community Education programs are two ways the health region is trying to educate the public to remove stigma.

“Reducing stigma

is an ongoing challenge but we are beginning to gain some ground,” adds Shepherd. “People are starting to realize that mental health is sim-ply a part of the overall health of an individual. We all have challenges that affect our physical and mental health. The health of our bodies and our minds are not exclu-sive, they work together.”

Mental health ser-vices can be accessed in Sunrise Health Region by calling 306-786-0558. The provincial Healthline service is another confi-dential resource people can call for information and advice from a mental health nurse. Dial 811 to reach Healthline.

Regional directors across the province of Saskatchewan are work-ing in collaboration on a number of initiatives. The focus has been set on reducing wait times for mental health and addiction outpatient and psychiatry services, implementing a suicide framework, knowledge exchange and cross train-ing for clinicians, imple-mentation of a computer-ized evidence based level of care tool to assess what people need for services, and reducing re-admis-sions and maintaining

levels of long term stays greater than 60 days in inpatient mental health facilities.

Sunrise Health Region has had great success in the reduction of wait times for Mental Health and Addictions services and the psychiatry wait times are minimal. A suicide framework and protocol have been imple-mented in the past year. The use of telehealth throughout the region is helping to reduce travel for clients and increases access to consultation ser-vices.

“The development of our Crisis Assessment Team and new approach to intake has been very beneficial,” says Director of Mental Health and Addictions Services, Gary Shepherd. “Our regional representatives have been invited to Prince Edward Island to present our experience in reduc-tion of wait times.”

Sunrise Health Region has achieved the provin-cial wait time target for three of four triage levels across five different men-tal health and addictions services. The target set by the province is that by March of 2016, 85% of persons seeking mental health and addictions ser-vices be triaged and seen

within appropriate time-frames. Based on best practice the timeframes are to severity of illness, i.e. very severe within 24 hours, severe within 5 working days, moderate within 20 working days, and mild within 30 work-ing days. Sunrise Health Region has met the tar-get for all triage levels with the exception of the moderate child & youth triage level which is at 82%. The health region has recruited candidates to fill vacant positions in child and youth servi-ces and expects that this return to full staffing will assist in further reduction of wait times.

There is tremen-dous opportunity in the future to integrate men-tal health and addictions services more closely with acute care, primary care and long-term care. A Crisis Assessment Team was developed and psych-iatry is on call to quickly respond to emergency department requests for assistance. In consul-tation with emergency department physicians, triage nurses and RCMP, the Secure Youth Detox process was streamlined to assist youth needing help into the program which transfers them to the Paul Dojack Youth Centre for up to an eight day secure detox.

The Geriatric Response Intervention Team was created as a

resource to respond when long-term care staff need help to assess residents with higher needs. The team is comprised of a mental health therapist, an occupational ther-apist, and a pharmacist. Gentle Persuasion train-ing is being offered to long term care staff to promote understanding of geriat-ric issues and to ensure a caring culture.

Sunrise Health Region’s mental health and addictions services staff have consistently been involved with HUB which is a coalition of com-munity human service providers in Yorkton e.g. fire department, police, social services. Sunrise Health Region has taken a lead role in offering sup-port to people identified as being at personal risk.

The Kamsack Family Resource Centre opened in October of 2015. The Centre is based on a suc-cessful program currently running in Yorkton and will offer a similar menu of services.

“The Yorkton Family Resource Centre is an extremely successful pro-gram of parenting sup-ports, early childhood education,” says Vice President of Integrated Primary Health Services, Sandy Tokaruk. “Sunrise Health Region mental health and addictions services professionals support the resource centre with counseling

and education events as requested.”

Participation on the Saulteaux Pelly Health Initiative has opened the lines of communica-tions and has resulted in discussions and jointinitiatives to improve themethadone program andto address the broader health needs of the FirstNation’s communities in the region.

A year ago Sunrise Health Region officially took over operation of the methadone program.The methadone program in Kamsack now includescare and counseling to reduce risk of HIV andHepatitis C and help forthose who no longer will benefit from methadone treatment to safely dis-continue the treatment program.

“This is a resource supported by the health region that is not specific-ally built into the regional funding,” says Tokaruk. “The health region saw aneed for better counseling support and to help these clients to look at their broader health needs.”

Challenges and oppor-tunities for further progress on the Mental Health Action Plan include working with thecommunity to reduce stig-ma and myths about men-tal health and addictions, and working provinciallyto increase the supportive housing options for men-tal health clients.

CT SCAN DONATION – The Health Foundation’s CT Scan program had a major help from Alf Achthymichuk (left), who donated $20,000 to the campaign to buy the new machine, pictured above with Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation. “I’ve had to use the healthcare system, and it has treated me very well. But using the system has also taught me how important it is to have good equipment and to have it available locally so it’s easier for people to get the tests they need,” said Achtymichuk. “I hope I never have to use this CT scanner, but I really hope and expect that it will help a lot of other people.”


Moosehead and Müs Knuckle are two breweries in a battle over trademarks. Short version, Moosehead says that Müs Knuckle is too close to their trademark for beer. The idea is that Müs Knuckle could be confused for a Moosehead product, or at least that’s what Moosehead thinks, and that’s why they are going after the smaller, Saskatchewan-based brewery.

Let’s consider the larger brewery’s case. Moosehead believes that when people think about moose-based beer, their brewery is the most com-mon association. Their challenge to Müs Knuckle is based on the idea that the smaller company’s name would lead to consumer confusion and step on the larger company’s sales – the idea, in effect, that people would think that Müs Knuckle is a sub-brand of Moosehead, akin to how Bud Light and Budweiser are related. They also object to the pack-aging design, though the only real similarity is a green bottle used by both brands.

The case is a bit of a stretch, largely due to a lot of the specific choices that Müs Knuckle has made. The packaging is not very similar outside of the glass used, the Regina company going with a pre-dominantly blue label design in a diamond shape, whereas Moosehead is oval, green, and has a moose as part of the logo itself. The fact that Müs is also deliberately misspelled is another aesthetic choice that works to the advantage of the smaller company, it can be argued that they are trying to distance themselves from their more established competitor by stylizing their name.

Moosehead’s case relies on them being the only moose-based beer in the country, or at least the first brand people think about when they hear about a connection between moose and alcohol, somewhere below hunting accidents and above poorly thought out rutting. They have to argue that the new brand is trying to jump on their coattails and confuse con-sumers in their attempts to establish a presence.

As many jokes as can be made about the respec-tive names of their lagers, this is actually an impor-tant case, because it would set precedence for just how far a trademark can stretch. If Müs Knuckle loses, that means in spite of not actually sharing a word with a trademark holder – Müs is effectively made up – a company could still be considered in a trademark violation if part of the name sounds similar enough to part of the other brand. That legal precedent would make it a lot harder for other new companies to build a brand, they would have to find brand names that share nothing with a more estab-lished company, even if the joke they are trying to make – and Müs Knuckle has its base in a joke about anatomy – is quite different from what the

brand they are being accused of knocking off. I can understand the accusation in some cases,

and the inclination for Moosehead to try to protect their brand in this case. Going back to a different brand, if a new beer in a red bottle named “Buddy’s Wiser” beer it would be clear that Budweiser would have a case against that brand. In effect, Moosehead’s case is trying to find the limits to a brand. Müs Knuckle is not similar in very many meaningful ways, effectively just the word moose, but if Moosehead wins it would mean that moose is enough to be a brand.

It’s our natural inclination to go for the underdog in cases like this, but in this case it’s the right instinct. The reason is that the Müs Knuckle brand is far enough out from the design and image of Moosehead that it’s clear this is a very flimsy case, as well as a case that is meant to push just how far the larger brand can take their trademark. It’s also a case where the intended purpose of the trademark – reducing consumer confusion – is being used to push competition in the sidelines. A smaller compa-ny, Müs Knuckle would have difficulty paying for a massive re-branding, especially as it would have to spend a great deal of effort trying to get their audi-ence to recognize the new name and package. It could be a death blow to a brand that is quietly establishing itself, and a blow caused by a brand that is not substantially similar to the new product.

Trademark laws are not a bad thing, consumers benefit from a lack of confusion over who makes products and what they represent. This case shows that pushing trademark laws to the limit are not serving the stated purpose of protecting consumers from knockoff products, but instead preventing smaller operations from establishing themselves in the market. Whether or not you like either Moosehead or Müs Knuckle, they are clearly sepa-rate products and not something that should cause consumer confusion on any level. If Moosehead wins the case, however, it could mean that a lot of brands will be able to take down new brands who are trying to accomplish something very different, and that is bad for competition.

The results of SGI’s December Focus on Safety are out and they’re not good, Saskatchewan.

Police charged 300 people with Criminal Code offences related to impaired driv-ing. Despite new, tougher laws and dec-ades of public awareness, and although the recent number is slightly less than last year, we simply do not seem to be get-ting the message.

For years, Saskatchewan has led the provinces in alcohol-related fatalities and injuries.

The latest Statistics Canada Report, released in 2013 for the year 2011, showed Saskatchewan’s rate of impaired driving incidents at 683 per 100,000 population was three times the Canadian average (262). Although the Northwest and Yukon Territories were much worse at 1,463 and 943 respectively, among the provinces none came close to Saskatchewan. PEI was second at only 493.

Certain trends leap out from the data. Drunk driving is much more prevalent outside of Census Metropolitan Areas (the 33 biggest cities). Of those, Regina was third highest after Kelowna, BC and St. John’s, NL. Saskatoon was 11th. This makes sense. Access to public transporta-tion is obviously greater the larger the city.

The least populated areas of the coun-try are also the most overrepresented in the statistics with, as noted above, the territories, Saskatchewan and PEI lead-ing the way.

By way of demographics, drunk driving tends to decline by age, with 20-24 year-olds being more than 10 times as likely to be charged with impaired driving than the 65-plus set per 100,000 licensed driv-ers. There are all kinds of reasons for this, the indestructability of youth, inexperi-ence behind the wheel, higher consump-tion of and less tolerance to alcohol and greater incidence of going out to drink.

Not surprisingly, Saskatchewan is the second youngest province on average next to Alberta.

All of this is to say it is explainable why Saskatchewan is the drunk driving Mecca that it is.

It is explainable, but it is not excusable.It is time to smarten up, Saskatchewan.There are signs of change, however. In

September 2015, MADD Canada gave the Province a passing grade (barely) in its annual provincial report card on legisla-tion. The D- is a direct result of the tough-er laws the government implemented on July 1, 2014.

Mandatory minimum jail sentences, which came into effect in September 2013 are also starting to have an impact. Just this week in Yorkton Provincial Court, a 43-year-old man received six-months in prison. Although he had not had a con-viction in 10 years, which is usually a mitigating factor, he did have six prior convictions so the Crown proceeded by way of subsequent offence, which carries a mandatory minimum of four months and a three-year driving prohibition.

It is also much more likely in court these days to hear that an impaired driv-ing charge was the result of a concerned citizen reporting to police. This under-scores the growing sentiment that drunk driving is simply unacceptable.

It is everybody’s business to prevent drunk driving. Find a different way home. Stay overnight. Don’t drink. Take away your drunk friend’s keys.

Whatever it takes, let’s stamp out this provincial disgrace.

Things I do with words...

Devin WilgerColumn


With governments across Canada mired in persistent deficits, we have seen a surge of misguided tax increases in an attempt to close budget gaps. Often, the loudest calls are for higher business taxes, given a widely held misperception about who ultimately pays such taxes.

Critically, the group that ultim-ately bears the burden of a tax can be different from the entity respon-sible for sending the revenue to government. And when it comes to corporate taxes, some simply - and wrongly - assume corporations pay them in an economic sense, leading to inaccurate claims about the desir-ability of raising such taxes.

Corporate income taxes are ultimately paid for by people either as workers through lower wages, consumers through higher prices, or shareholders through lower returns on investments including RRSPs. While the objective of groups push-ing for higher corporate taxes may be to increase the tax burden on “big business” or owners of capital, taxes shifted to consumers or workers are clearly not paid by “corporations,”

even in the loosest meaning of the term.

Economists generally accept that the burden of corporate taxes falls to some extent on workers through lower wages. Empirical evidence from the United States and Europe confirms this.

A new Fraser Institute study examines data for Canada and lends further support for this find-ing. The study uses individual-level data from Statistics Canada over the period between 1998 and 2013 and looks at the impact of higher corporate taxes on worker wages. It finds that, after controlling for other factors (such as a worker’s age, education, union status, firm size, occupation, industry, and a host of economic variables), a one per cent increase in the corporate income tax rate reduces the average hourly wage rate of Canadian workers by between 0.15 and 0.24 per cent in the following year.

Let’s put that result into context.If the 2012 average combined fed-

eral-provincial corporate income tax rate (27.3 per cent) was increased

by one percentage point (to 28.3 per cent), the average national hourly wage rate in Canada would decrease between $0.13 and $0.20, which translates into a reduction of $254 to $390 in a worker’s annual wage - not a trivial amount. And it’s just the effect on wages, not accounting for the effect on prices or investment returns. (Incidentally, Alberta recently hiked its rate by two percentage points.)

The decrease in wages occurs through adjustments to the level, or more likely the growth rate, of wages in the very short term. Over the longer term, however, higher corporate taxes reduce investment, hindering productivity growth, which ultimately impedes growth in wages and the standard of living of workers more broadly. So the mag-nitude of the effect above is almost certainly understated.

While all this may seem counter-intuitive, ultimately only people can pay taxes. In the case of corpor-ate taxes, a significant part of the burden falls on workers through lower wages.

For the past 15 years, the fed-eral and provincial governments recognized the advantages of lower-ing corporate taxes and worked to make Canada’s business tax regime more competitive internationally. Unfortunately, some provincial gov-ernments have started back-sliding recently (Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, to name a few) increasing corporate tax rates as they struggle to balance their budgets.

But governments must real-ize that if they increase business taxes, the evidence shows ordinary Canadians will incur the cost, in part through lower wages.

It’s been a busy week in outer space.

The most powerful supernova since humans have been writing things down has been recorded in the southern constella-tion of Indus. Stars explode with surprising frequency, but this one out-did itself; it was about 200 times more powerful than typical supernova, at about 570 billion times as bright as our Sun, or about 20 times as luminous as the entire output of the Milky Way galaxy. Good job!

Thankfully, this one self-destructed at a dis-tance of 3.8 billion light years in a galaxy far

away. Had it been in our neighbourhood, say 150 light years or so, we wouldn’t be here to talk about it. But it wasn’t, so we can.

Then, CalTech astron-omers announced last week that they had found a new planet, which they promptly nicknamed Planet 9. It’s thought to be about ten times larger than Earth and in an orbit twenty times fur-ther than Neptune. At that distance, it would take between ten and twenty thousand of our years for it to orbit the Sun once.

Of course, that’s assuming it exists at all.

It’s too far to spot with telescopes and so for now, Planet 9 exists only as another computer simu-lation like manmade global warming and Super Mario Brothers. In an odd coincidence, one of the pair of researchers making the announcement was also involved in getting Pluto,

the former 9th planet, demoted, so this may be a product of his guilt. Time will tell.

The timing of the announcement has fans of David Bowie lobbying to have Planet 9 named after the musical super-star. Not to be outdone, some combination of a Belgian Radio station,

nearby observatory and Rolling Stone Magazine have combined to carve out a new constellation to be named after Bowie as well. The result is a group of totally unrelated stars scattered across the sky, but ‘near Mars’, which makes no sense either as Mars moves and stars don’t (they just explode sometimes). Neither Bowie, nor alter ego Ziggy Stardust, would have been pleased with this ‘Space Oddity’.

Speaking of Mars, and something that actually exits, we have the five brightest planets lining up in the predawn sky for the first time since 2005.

Between about 7:30 and 8am, beginning well up just a little south of west, and stretched out in a line to the horizon in the south east, you will find Jupiter, then Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Cover Mercury with your thumb, and you’re also covering Pluto (which you can’t see). While the five will move around a little, this line up remains in place until the third week in February.

The weather’s cooper-ating, so there’s no excuse for not getting out for a little real science, avail-able from your own back yard.

Almost every house-hold has some type of cutting board to offer a place for chopping or slicing in order to protect their kitchen counter tops. With so many to choose from, hopefully I can help shed some light on this subject by discussing the pros and cons of the three main types of cutting boards available: glass, plastic and wood.

One of my biggest pet peeves is a glass cut-ting board, and I take every opportunity to advise anyone I can of the reasons. Tempered glass cutting boards are made to offer a surface that is easily sanitized by hand or by putting them in the dishwasher, and offer a surface that will never deteriorate. However, because this cutting surface is so hard, it will dull even the highest quality kitchen knife faster than any other cutting board. They usually depict an attractive photo or print under the surface of the glass which makes them desirable to have out and ready to use, but I would highly recom-mend using them only

as a serving platter and nothing else.

Plastic cutting boards on the other hand offer a softer surface that won’t damage knives and can still be placed in the dishwasher for clean-ing. The plastic surface can also be subjected to sanitizing cleansers, like bleach, without dam-aging the board itself. However, recent stud-ies have revealed that over time bacteria can build up in the scores from knives on the sur-face, that even sani-tizing will not remove completely. When deep scores have been made in a cutting board, it is recommended to

reface the board. Plastic boards are very difficult to resurface, and it is much easier to purchase a new one.

Wooden cutting boards have been thought of surfaces that hold bacteria, and many households have switched to plastic for this very reason, but wood offers natural anti-septic qualities. The wood also can naturally reseal small scores from cutting. A food grade mineral oil should be used on a regular basis to help stop the wood from drying out and cracking.

I prefer to use plastic cutting boards for meat

or seafood. This way I can sanitize them in the dishwasher, until they get well used that is. Wooden cutting boards offer a cutting surface for all other applications such as fruits, vege-tables, etc. I do not own a glass cutting board.

The most unique cutting surface I have ever used is a phone book. I was invited to a “guy’s night” poker party at a bachelor’s apartment and it turned into an impromptu cook-ing demonstration. His kitchen was not well equipped, so we sani-tized the outside of his Yellow Pages and used it as a cutting board! While this might be an amusing story, I strong-ly advise against this practice.

Dear Chef Dez: Can you suggest

a natural cleanser for

cleaning cutting boards? Diane T.Nanaimo, BC

Dear Diane: I often sprinkle a cut-

ting board liberally withsalt and rub the sur-face with the cut sides of a halved lemon. The salt acts as an abrasive, and the lemon not only offers a natural acid, but a fresh clean scent as well.

Face of ‘Riders continues to change

There are some-times so many things in sports to talk about it is frankly impossible to keep up.

That tends to be the way of it at present, so this week it’s a quick spin around to touch on a few matters of inter-est.

The first stop is our beloved Riderville where new boss Chris Jones continues to remold the team in his image.

The latest moves were to send a couple of fan favourites Weston Dressler and John Chick searching for new places to play.

Dressler has been the ‘face’ of the ‘Rider receiving corps pretty much since signing back in 2008, if you discount the obviously doomed effort to play in that other league. He can still catch foot-balls with the best of them, although his touchdown catches were off in 2015 with the assorted QB mix he had to work with.

But Dressler makes too much money at 30 on a team needing to rebuild.

Chick, at 33, and as a defensive line-man where quickness counts, is past his best years, and even more overpaid as a result.

So neither cut is a surprise, based entirely on contracts that were higher than expected performance return.

Jones has already replaced Chick with Shawn Lemon, six years younger, and at a lower cost. That’s an upgrade.

Dressler as an import receiver can be replaced more eas-ily than most positions too.

Jones appears to have a vision that includes cleaning out the past core of the Roughriders, a team that has sputtered on late, some of it based on a revolving door at pivot, and part because of an aging team which has suffered from a lack of good coaching.

So far it’s hard to

argue with the path Jones is on, and it will make for an interest-ing spring and summer ahead.

Then again if Dressler signs in Winnipeg, which appears likely, and that team surges and we sputter, the love affair with Jones will fade rather quickly.

Quarterback Darian Durant took a different approach signing a new one-year deal with the team just last week. While details were not released there is little doubt the veteran pivot saw a huge pay cut coming off two injury-riddled seasons, and a new regime trimming salary like it is the key to immediate success.

Durant may not be as happy inside as he has been in interviews on the new deal, but those two injuries have limited his options in the current edition CFL where every team has a credible starting pivot option headed into the upcoming sea-son.

JaysvilleOnto baseball and

our Blue Jays.It has been a some-

what underwhelming offseason, at least in terms of the general feeding frenzy of free agency, the deal to bring J.A. Happ back to TO hardly inspiring thoughts World Series glory based in someone best suited to the back end of a rotation.

The Jays did move outfielder Ben Revere to Washington for reliever Drew Storen, a guy with lots of upside, but someone the Nats had so little faith in as a closer they took on the trouble that is Jonathon Papelbon. Now Washington has not shown a lot of bril-liance in managing the on-field team, but Storen had 29 saves in 34 opportunities, and they still made a move. It might have been a 3.02 ERA, up from an NL best 1.12 in 2014.

If the Jays get the 2014-version of

Storen they win big. If the big bat AL adds a few points to that 3.04 number from last season, well Roberto Osuna is still in TO.

Osuna should be des-tined for set-up work now, leaving Aaron Sanchez to eye a start-ers spot. If Sanchez could be a break-out starter with 14, or so wins, it would go a long way toward the world series dreams Happ can’t inspire.

Of course it will help when the Jays ink an arbitration deal with MVP Josh Donaldson. He needs to be happy and well paid and in the fold for at least two-three seasons as this team works of tak-ing the final step to a World Series.

Getting deals with pending free agents José Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion would help set that course more firmly too. That said I doubt both players are Jays come August, and a poor first half by the team, and both will be traded.

Raptor riseStaying in TO, but

switching sports, the Raptors have climbed into second spot in the Eastern Conference of the NBA, at least as of this writing (the Raps are 1.5 games up on third spot where Chicago and Atlanta are tied).

Cleveland tops the east, three games up on TO, and frankly it’s unlikely the Cavaliers will give up top spot this season.

Teams two through six, and maybe a bit deeper into the stand-ings, are pretty com-petitive on any given night, although Toronto is learning to play defence, a goal with several of the off season moves, adding the likes of Luis Scola, Bismack Biyombo and currently injured DeMarre Carroll.

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are both putting up all-star numbers on offence, Lowry being voted a starter for the game to be held in TO, and in the case of DeRozan showing he has to be resigned by the Raptors

for next season and beyond.

However, as enter-taining as the Raptors are in a competitive east, the strength of the NBA resides in the west.

While I don’t see TO doing better than a conference final loss to Cleveland, depending on eventual match-ups, it’s hard to envision anyone from the east having much chance

against whoever emer-ges from the west. That is likely to Golden State 38-4 at this writ-ing, but San Antonio, Oklahoma City and the LA Clippers are all solid teams.

Canadians are cur-rently living longer and between 2006-2011, 26 percent more Canadians reached the age of 100*. Many older adults want to stay in their own home and in their own community, for as long as possible.

There are many things you can do now to “age in place.” Having the health services and social supports you need will help you to live safely and independent-ly in your own home/community for as long as you wish or are able to. Have discus-sions with your family members to let them know your wishes. For example, plan ahead if you need to relocate, if you are unable to drive find out if public transit available and identify resources that are avail-able in your community for extra support. One of the many resources that Sunrise Health Region has available is Home Care.

Home Care ser-vices are available in all communities in the region to assist individ-uals who wish to have team-based care that is centered on their needs. The aim is to assist individuals to remain independent in their homes and com-munities with help from family and other care givers. Once a refer-ral or request for ser-vices is made, a care plan will be developed by you and an Assessor Coordinator based on your needs, abilities, and availability of ser-vices. Home Care will perform only those tasks that you cannot manage for yourself. Help can be provided with bathing, dressing,

exercise, and limited assistance is offered with meal preparation and some household tasks. Nursing servi-ces are available upon referral by physicians or Nurse Practitioner.

Home Care offers wellness clinics in each of their offices in the region. Services at the clinics include:

• Basic health assessment including monitoring blood pres-sure, pulse, weight and blood sugar levels when indicated,

• Foot care to main-tain good foot health and initiate referrals to chiropodist if required,

• Health counseling and encouragement to seek medical attention for early detection and treatment of problems,

• Medication review and information.

Contact your local Home Care office for more information as times and dates of the clinics vary for each office.

Adult Day Programs are available at many of the special care homes in the region to provide a different option to receive per-sonal care, socializa-tion and recreation for clients who need addi-tional support. When attending the Adult Day Program, you are provided with a meal, a bath and you can par-take in activities offered in the facility.

Meals on Wheels is available in Canora, Invermay, Preeceville, Sturgis, Norquay, Pelly, Kamsack, Esterhazy, Melville, Ituna, Theodore, Saltcoats, Langenburg, Foam Lake and Yorkton. Adults who choose to purchase the service

can receive a nutritiousand well rounded meal every weekday at noon. In many communities these meals are pre-pared by the food ser-vices department at a local Sunrise Health Region facility and are delivered to your home by volunteers.

The Travelling MabelsA “Stars For

Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council,

Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High

School. The Travelling Mabels,

voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/

country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laugh-ter. Collectively, their

songs bring a wealth of life experience to the

stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony

blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they

represent three generations of women.

This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both

musically and in the rapport with the audienc-

es that most wouldn’t experience every day.

With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob

Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of

audience expectations. www.the travellingma-

bels.comTickets are available at

the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at

www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.

Make morning workouts work

Many men and women struggle to find time to exercise. If hectic schedules dominated by professional and personal commitments have made it difficult to make exercise part of your daily routine, you might

want to consider skipping the snooze button so you can work out in the earlymorning hours.Early morning workouts have their ups and downs. Glucose levels in the body tend to be low in the morning, when many people wake up with a relatively empty stomach. Low blood glucose levels can cause feelings of nausea and weakness and possibly make you feel faint. In addition, since you likely aren’t moving much while you’re asleep, your joints and muscles are likely less mobile early in the morning than they are in the evening, which can make morning workouts difficult and, if you don’t allow yourself more time to warm up, put your body at greater risk of injury.But morning workouts also can energize you throughout the day, andmany people find it easier to consistently exercise in the early mornings than at night, when distractions or long days at the office can affect your motivation to workout.Early morning exercise routines can be difficult to adjust to, but there are some ways to make the adjustment to such regimens go more smoothly.

• Make sleep a priority. Prioritizing sleep makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning, when you will face the daily temptation to hit the snooze button and roll over. But if you aren’t sleep deprived, you will find it easier to skip the snooze phase of your morning routine and get right out of bed. Skip the late night talk shows and call it a night earlier, making sure you get between seven and eight hours of sleep each night. Once you establish a new sleep schedule, you will find it easier and easier to get up and hit the gym in the morning.

• Designate more time to warm up.Early morning workout routines require athletes to warm up more than they would when exercising at other times of the day. As previously noted, your body is perhaps at its least mobile right when you get out of bed, so set aside more time to warm up when you workout in the mornings. Five to 10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before you begin your workout can be enough to increase your body temperature and loosen your body up so it’s readyfor exercise.

• Don’t go it alone. The buddy system is effective for many people regardless of when they exercise, but it can be especially beneficial formen and women who want to start working out in the morning. If someone is waiting for you at the gym or if your significant other is up and ready to go, you’re far less likely to skip a morning workout than you would be if you are going it alone.

• Eat at your own discretion. Some people simply cannot eat before a workout, while others find working out on an empty stomach makes them faint and weak. The problem many people who work out in the early morning encounter with regard to eating before their workouts is they simply don’t have the time to eat and afford their body enough time to turn that meal or snack into fuel that will benefit their workout. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that eating a meal 45 minutes before a moderate-intensity workout enhances exercise capability. But morning exercise enthusiasts typically find they do not have that spare 45 minutes to wait around while their bodies absorb a meal. Eating healthy before exercise, and giving your body adequate time to absorb that meal, can definitely fuel your workout. But if that 45 minutes ultimately compromises your ability to workout, you may want to have a glass of orange juice or a drink that contains carbohydrates so your body has some fuel as you exercise.Many adults find that mornings are the only times they can consistently exercise. Adjusting to such a routine can be difficult, but there are some ways to make that adjustment easier.
