Right now, everyone in the Sunrise Health Region is able to receive their influ-enza immunization for the upcoming season. The health region recently launched the flu shot pro-gram, and this year they want to see everyone in Yorkton and area immu-nized.

Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu, Medical Health Officer for the Sunrise Health Region, says that it’s important for people to get immunized against the disease, because it can cause complications and even death in anyone who contracts it.

“Influenza immunization is the best way of prevent-ing influenza.”

The biggest risk groups for the disease are children under 5, people over 65, people with chronic diseas-es or immune problems, or pregnant women, Nsungu says. These are the groups that need to prioritize get-ting immunized, though Nsungu says everyone should be getting their vac-cination.

“I know that people sometimes say they are healthy, and they don’t think they need the vac-cine. That’s a misconcep-tion, aside from the fact that anyone can become sick from influenza the thing that we have to real-ize too is that as a healthy person you may have the disease without having signs or symptoms, without

it being a big problem for you. It’s possible still to transmit that infection to somebody who is very much at risk and that person could end up with very seri-ous complication... If you vaccinate as many people as possible, you get the con-ditions to break that chain of transmission of the virus in the community.”

The Sunrise Health Region has enough supply of vaccine to cover the entire region, Nsungu says.

“Last year we had a shortage that was resolved later in the season, but this year actually the ministry has ordered more vaccine.”

This year the theme of the program is getting peo-ple to get their immuniza-tion as soon as possible. Part of the reason, Nsungu says, is that it can be diffi-cult to meet demand if there is a sudden uptake in vac-cination late in the season, but also because it makes sense to get it out of the way and get people pro-tected from the disease as soon as they are able.

“Don’t wait, because we know that the influenza virus is unpredictable. Though we know that the influenza season usually starts towards the end of November, it can start at anytime. That’s the reason why everyone should not wait, they should come as soon as possible.”

The vaccination itself is free to anyone who wants it, and clinics will run into December.

INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION CLINICS have begun in the Sunrise Health Region. Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu, Medical Health Officer for the Sunrise Health Region, says that everyone should get immunized as soon as they can, and he is no exception, pictured getting his above.

The city of Yorkton of today would be completely unrecognizable to the Chamber of Commerce of 1898, but that is the last time that the Chamber of Commerce’s boundaries have been revised. The Chamber of Commerce is now in the process of revising the bound-aries.

The revision was prompted by communications from Corporations Canada and Industry Canada, who asked the Chamber if the records

on file were still the boundar-ies of the chamber says Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce.

“In 1898 it was the village of Yorkton and of course now it’s a city, and the city itself has grown beyond those boundaries. So we’re in the process of getting input from our members.”

Polegi says that people from outside of Yorkton can be members of the local Chamber of Commerce, and she notes that there are cur-rently members from places beyond the borders such as

Regina. The boundaries affect the area where the chamber covers, but members can

come from elsewhere.Polegi says that

Corporations and Industry

Canada have been extremely helpful and accommodating during the process, and she has nothing but praise for their help in updating the boundaries and the records. It has still been a challenge, because the chamber has been working with records that are so old.

“We have had to engage the services of Prairie Mapping Services to help us create a map that will enable us to put these boundaries in... We’ve certainly required some assistance in this.”

The current board is defin-ing the new boundaries of the

chamber as the City of Yorkton and the provincial electoral district of Yorkton and Townships 23 to 27 inclu-sive in Ranges 3 and 4 West of the Second Meridian. The initial boundaries laid out 116 years ago were the Village of Yorkton and the electoral district of Yorkton and Townships 23 to 27 in Range 3 West of the Second Meridian.

If members have any objec-tions to the new boundaries, Polegi says they will need to contact the Chamber of Commerce before November 16.

Bus for Seniors

THE KINSMEN FOUNDATION has made a major contri-bution to the quality of life of area seniors, donating $40,000 to the purchase of a bus for the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. Pictured are David Johnson, Yorkton Kinsmen President; Denae Rivett and Dana Prystupa, Yorkton Kinettes; Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation; Ron Hanishewsky, National President of Kin Canada.

It will soon be much easier for residents of the Yorkton and District Nursing Home to get around. The Kinsmen Foundation has come through with the final piece of the puzzle for funding the purchase of a

new bus, donating $40,000 to The Health Foundation for the vehi-cle.

The priority of the Kinsmen is to help people who can’t help them-selves says David Johnson, Yorkton Kins-men President, so the decision to support the bus was an easy one.

Learning Without Limits ... Achievement For All

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

A playwright tells a story through words, and a musician does through song. The Fung-Chiu Duo’s Prairie Debut tour will see Janelle Fung and Phil Chiu take on songs inspired by one of the English language’s greats, Shakespeare.

The duo plays in the one piano, four hands style, and Chiu says this allows them to take a diverse number songs. He says that piano is one of the most diverse instruments you can play, and their concert explores the depth of the instrument.

“We take some well known and sometimes non-standard classical works, and we arrange them for this unique one piano, four hands thing. We also play some of the best of classical music as well.”

The show is built around music inspired by Shakespeare, and Chiu says it’s because music and theatre have the same goal, to connect to people’s emotions.

“When I think about my first Shakespeare experiences, I was really lost by the language, and I didn’t understand the

point of it. But then I saw this one perfor-mance... Christopher Plummer had come out to do King Lear... It was really eye opening, to realize that once you get enough of the language it’s not about the lan-guage but about the emo-tions behind it. Shakespeare wrote in such a way that you couldn’t deny that he understood humans and what we feel. The con-nection between that and music is so appropriate, people are scared of clas-sical music because the language is unfamiliar, but once you get enough of the language and once you get through that crack of the door, it’s really about the emotions behind it.”

The duo got together when they met in Montreal for school. Saying they initially “got bored of studying,” they began to work on projects together and playing together.

“To be able to share the stage and share a bench is quite a lot of fun if you get along and have good chemistry.”

Connecting with the audience is one of the priorities of the duo, and Chiu says that their con-certs are not a stereotyp-

ical classical perfor-mance. They want to interact, speak to people, answer their questions, and have a dialog between them and the people in the theatre.

“As a performer, it’s so important to know the audience is really on board with you.”

This tour is part of Prairie Debut, and Chiu says he’s known about the program since Executive Director Lynne Bailey did a lecture to one of his classes. He said he kept it in mind as he began his career, and applied at her sugges-tion. He’s grateful to now have the opportunity to tour the prairies.

“We’re really lucky in Canada, it is such a unique thing to have this kind of organization that does so much for young Canadian artists.”

While Chiu has been to the province before, Fung has not, and he says they’re excited to be visiting the province and taking the tour to places where they have never been before.

“We find that people who come to concerts in smaller towns and small-er cities come because they are really interested and really love and are really open.”

The Fung-Chiu Duo’s One Piano Four Hands concert, presented by Prairie Debut as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series, will take place on November 1 at the Ann Portnuff Theatre. Tickets are available at york-tonarts.ca or by calling 306-783-8722.

One piano, four hands, great music

THE FUNG-CHIU DUO is Janelle Fung and Phil Chiu, and they will be in Yorkton on November 1 with their one piano, four hands performance.

Tourism Saskatche-wan’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Mary Taylor-Ash to the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immedi-ately. She has held the position of interim CEO since June 2014.

Taylor-Ash joined the organization in 2013 as Executive Director of Marketing and Communications. Prior to her arrival, she was the Assistant Deputy Minister of Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador, where she was responsible for tourism marketing, product development and tour-ism research. Under her leadership, the province embarked on a compre-

hensive tourism planning process that resulted in a 10-year vision for tour-ism.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s tourism mar-keting campaign has been one of the most rec-ognized and successful marketing campaigns in the country.

As Tourism Sask at-che wan’s Executive Director of Marketing and Communications, Taylor-Ash played a piv-otal role in the strategic planning process com-pleted in 2013.

“Tourism is an impor-tant industry that con-tributes much to Saskatchewan’s strong economy and our quality of life,” Minister Responsible for Tourism

Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “Tourism Saskatchewan is in very capable hands under the leadership of Mary Taylor-Ash. She is an influential champion for tourism in the province.”

“Mary has earned the respect of the board of

directors, staff and indus-try,” Tourism Saskat-chewan Board of Directors Chair Norm Beug said. “She brings impressive knowledge and experience to her work and is a valuable asset to the organization and the tourism sector.

While I can admit upfront that I’m not a hockey fan, I would like to think I can grasp some basic con-cepts about the sport. For example, even if I do not understand the nuances inherent in putting together a winning team, I do know that at a bare minimum getting people to show up for your games is a neces-sity. As a result, I can see that the Florida Panthers are in dire straits, because the NHL team is strug-gling to get anyone to show up at the arena. Just over seven thousand people showed up for a recent game against the Ottawa Senators. For reference, more fans turn out for the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen, and that’s not an NHL team.

The trick is you have to give people a reason to attend your games even if you’re awful. The Toronto Maple Leafs, for example, were recently named the worst professional sports team in North America, and yet they still pull numbers that are significantly bet-ter than the Panthers can manage. Whatever you think of the idea of the Maple Leafs being the worst, they’re still in a good place for hockey, because Toronto cares about the sport in general and the team in their city in particular. It has a loyal fanbase that turns out for games, whether or not the team is win-ning, and that’s what a team needs to maintain a franchise, a foundation of fans who care about it.

The Panthers are going to have difficulty filling stadiums because it’s just not situated well for sport. One can always put the blame on it being a sunshine state trying to host a cold weather game, but even sports that are generally well suited for the sun – baseball and football, for example – struggle to put people in seats in the southern part of the state, though football is doing okay this year. The Panthers are going up not against a weather disconnect, but a part of the world where pro sports are just not a prior-ity for any of the people who actually live there.

Which is not to say all sports teams in Florida are doomed. After all, the Tampa Bay Lightning get respectable attendance for their games, and they’re

also in Florida. But that’s the real problem with the Panthers, if you’re going to support a team in Florida, why wouldn’t you go to the one that actually wins games? It might be less convenient for some people to support Tampa Bay, but for the small section of Florida that watches hockey, it promises a better representation of the sport.

So what should be done about the Panthers? Well the obvious solution is to relocate them somewhere, though the NHL does traditionally try to avoid that. Plenty of places have been floated as potential reloca-tion sites, including Saskatoon. While I don’t know if Saskatoon has the patience to stick with a team that has not done well in a long time – the Blades have always had highly variable attendance – it’s at least a place that has more potential support than south Florida. At the very least, Canadian cities are a more compelling choice than Miami.

The ideal location for the team is one that wants hockey, but is not currently well served for it. There are plenty of places in the more northern part of the continent that would be happy to have a team, and give it a loyal foundation until they can get on their feet and start building a franchise. If Canada can keep the “worst team in professional sports” alive, we can be a Panther sanctuary too.

This week the World Trade Organization (WTO) Compliance Panel made public its report regarding U.S. mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL), confirming that Canada has won another important and decisive victory at the WTO on COOL.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) welcomed the Panel report as it unequivocally supports Canada’s position that the U.S. amend-ments to the COOL regulation continue the discrimination against live imports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. marketplace.

This latest ruling once again confirms that the U.S. mandatory COOL rules unfairly dis-criminate against Canadian cattle and hog export

COOL adds substantial costs to the inte-grated North American meat and livestock industry while providing no meaningful benefit to consumers. It also prevents U.S. processors from co-mingling U.S. beef and pork with meat from Canadian cattle and hogs resulting in the need to segregate livestock. Segregation adds higher costs for companies using livestock born or raised outside of the U.S. along with addi-tional costs for producers. Consumers are also impacted through higher meat prices.

The ruling released this is a positive step for Saskatchewan producers.

The next step in the WTO process will be adoption of the report at a meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). Adoption of the report, which can be delayed only by a U.S. appeal, would trigger Canada’s rights to com-pensation or retaliation. If the U.S. files an appeal and Canada once again wins, Canada would be authorized to impose retaliatory tar-iffs on U.S. exports.

The impact of COOL on the combined Canadian cattle and hog sectors was estimated in 2012 to be over one billion dollars.

Although the impact has increased since the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) amend-ed the regulation in 2013. “The compliance panel report leaves no shadow of a doubt that the U.S. COOL legislation is causing discrimi-nation against live imports of cattle and hogs into the U.S. marketplace,” said Canadian Cattlemen Association President Dave Solverson. “Until COOL comes into compliance with the WTO, the CCA will continue to insist that the Government of Canada prepare to impose prohibitively high tariffs on key U.S. exports to Canada, including beef.”

The CCA will continue to work with the Government of Canada to prepare to impose tariffs on U.S. exports selected from a list of targeted commodities released in June 2013.

COOL is a protectionist measure that hurts producers and negatively affects the entire sup-ply chain on both sides of the border and it should be scrapped.

Things I do with words...

With the recent implementation of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA), this may be an excellent opportunity to raise another issue of contention—that of First Nations taxation. If First Nations govern-ments were to tax their reserve base and incorporate the revenues into their annual budget, band members could have a chance to experience measurable improvements in their quality of life and governance.

Over the past several years, First Nations have increas-ingly been afforded more opportunities to create their own independent on-reserve tax base. You can count among these opportunities real property taxation, various forms of sales and good taxes, user-fees, provincial-type taxes, and personal income taxes (which is currently exclusive to groups with a self-government agreement).

The Institute on Governance (IGO) has found that there are clear benefits to First Nations taxation, including pro-viding funds for First Nations projects, and enhancing service delivery and economic development. Furthermore, citizen participation, transparency, accountability, and performance have also been found to increase within First Nations’ communities that possess taxation.

In a separate report, the IGO concluded, “Even for the poorest of jurisdictions, to achieve accountability, their citizens should be responsible for at least some of the costs of the services provided for them.” As a result, band mem-bers on all First Nations communities—poor or rich, big or small—should contribute a small portion to the revenue of their local government. Doing so gives them a personal, financial stake in their government’s performance, and with that stake some grounds on which to hold their gov-

ernment to account.Even in terms of revenue the benefits of taxation should

not be discounted for those First Nations in which their small population or land base may make taxation seem like a pointless endeavor. In many cases the collection of taxes by First Nations can be used to secure long term financing from other sources. For example, the First Nations Tax Commission – a First Nations public institu-tion –emphasizes how First Nations can “lever their prop-erty tax revenues to access long term capital financing,” which can often be used to undertake projects or pursue other initiatives that would otherwise be unavailable or more difficult to obtain.

While the idea of First Nations taxation does not con-jure up positive feelings in the minds of many First Nations people, the reality is that taxation has already begun to be embraced by many First Nations governments. Almost 35 per cent of First Nations in Canada have implemented at least one of the aforementioned types of taxation available within their reserve community. Disappointingly, no com-prehensive studies have been performed to calculate how much money could be raised if First Nations were to imple-ment a comprehensive system of taxation. When contem-plating First Nations taxation it is not only the revenue raised that should be taken into consideration; it’s the dependency on band members that it creates for First Nations governments. Taxation will act to advance the self-government goals of First Nations, as well as increas-ing the quality of life and governance for band members, as they would be creating a mechanism to increase the accountability of their local government and politicians.

To the Editor:

An update on Canada’s demographic future from Statistics Canada con-firms what is readily dis-cernable through casual observation: our popula-tion is growing modestly and becoming greyer at an accelerating pace.

Under three different scenarios modelled by Statistics Canada’s researchers - slow growth, medium growth and high growth - the country’s population is on track to exceed 40 mil-lion by 2063 (up from 35.2 million in 2013).

The slow-growth sce-nario puts the population at 40 million in 50 years’ time.

Under the medium-growth scenario, the pop-ulation reaches 51 mil-lion in 2063.

And a high-growth scenario sees the number of Canadians swelling to 63.5 million.

The scenarios differ in their assumptions about future immigration lev-els, fertility rates and longevity. For planning purposes, the most sen-sible approach is to use the medium-growth sce-nario, which points to a national population of roughly 50 million a half century from now.

In all scenarios, the proportions of senior citi-zens within the popula-tion - defined as people aged 65 and over - edges higher. From 15.3 per cent today, the ranks of Canadian seniors will expand to comprise 22 to 24 per cent of the popula-

tion by the early 2030s.A smaller working age

population, coupled with a relatively larger num-ber of elderly “depen-dents” as the large baby-boom generation moves into retirement, will lead to slower economic growth in the future at the same time as society faces added fiscal stress from an aging demo-graphic. As noted in a recent report from the

C.D. Howe Institute, the escalating cost of provid-ing long-term care to frail seniors is one area where aging-related costs are set to rise dramatically.

For British Columbia, the province’s population increases and ages under all of the scenarios mod-elled by Statistics Canada. By the late 2030s, B.C. is expected to have between 5.2 and 6.7 million people, up from 4.6 million today. The share of the population aged 65 and over is pro-jected to increase to 24 to 27 per cent by the end of the 2030s, up significant-ly from today’s level and higher than the Canadian average. According to B.C. government fore-casts, the province’s “elderly dependency ratio” - the population aged 65 and over as a share of that aged 18 to 64 - will climb from 26

today to more than 40 by 2030. Because British Columbia will be home to proportionately more seniors than most other provinces, healthcare and other aging-related costs can be expected to come under stronger upward pressure here.

Two conclusions fol-low from the above. First, we need to start prepar-ing today for a different demographic future, one

that provides less impe-tus for economic growth. There are things that can be done to mitigate the growth-inhibiting conse-quences of population aging. Ways must be found to encourage more people to stay in the workforce beyond the “normal” retirement age of 63 or 65. There is still some room to boost labour force participation rates among women, and lots of scope to do the same with the aboriginal popu-lation. It is important to ensure that new immi-grants quickly transition into the workforce after they arrive. And as the median voter gets older and consumes a greater volume of health servic-es, it is crucial that poli-cy-makers not succumb to the temptation to shortchange investments in education and skills development aimed at

equipping young people with the knowledge and tools needed to build a more productive econo-my.

Second, the existing system of federal-provin-cial transfer programs requires a fresh look, given the Canada’s shift-ing demographic back-drop. For example, the B.C. government should be pressing Ottawa to modify the formula used to calculate federal trans-fers for healthcare in order to account for the higher per capita costs incurred by provinces with larger concentra-tions of older residents.

More generally, as emphasized by the Parliamentary Budget Office, the fiscal impacts of an aging population differ between the two main levels of govern-ment. While the federal government’s long-term financial position looks favourable, that is not the case for the provinc-es, which bear more of the costs stemming from burgeoning number of retirees. It is in all of the provinces’ interests to collaborate to persuade Ottawa to assume more of the economic and fiscal burden that is destined to come as the population ages and Canada’s poten-tial economic growth rate gently but inevitably declines.

To the Editor:

Pay Attention to criticisms coming from all directions, including some high profile veteran liberals. The official Liberal and N.A.P. position in the House of Commons is the correct one. Canada should decline any direct involvement in the present hostilities in Iraq and Syria.

It would have been foolish and wrong headed for us to have followed George Bush in his cam-paign to dislodge Saddam Hussein. It is even more fool hardy to follow some of our Nato friends back into Iraq and Syria in 2014.

The Bush administration with the best of intentions, led their country into a fruitless and very costly adventure in Iraq. The one positive thing you can say about Bush is that he was all in. Boots on he ground. He did not pretend other-wise.

The fundamental weakness with the present adventure is that its advocated pretend that you can go to war half way. It is not possible any more than you can go for a swim and not get wet. You are either in or out.

Canadians have nothing to prove to anyone regarding our willingness to stand up and be counted. We were all in World War I, three years before our friends south of the border showed up. We were all in, in World War II, two years before our friends to the south showed up. Canadians of all political stripes willingly sacrificed blood, tears, and treasure in both of these wars and oth-ers including Afghanistan. We have nothing to prove to our nato friends or to Mr. Harper and Mr. Bairn.

The present venture is sill-advanced to the point of being fooled hardy. How will we know when to stop the bombing? When we do – what then?

It is quite likely that after a couple of years that the situation will be even worse than it is now.

1. Constant images of casualties (men, women, and children) will be plastered over the airways. These casualties will be an inevitable result of aerial attacks against military targets concealed among civilian installations.

2. There will be images of thousands more refuges. Now some of the will be fleeing alien bombing runs as well as ISIS atrocities.

3. The bombing will certainly increase the local support for ISIS. It will be even more firmly established in Iraq.

4 .The Assan regime in Syria will be strength-ened because of the wakening of some their oppo-sition at home and because of a ground swell of hatred in Syria for those mending outsiders from the west with their airplanes and their bomb.

5. Even the arming of the Kurds has to be viewed with a jaundiced eye. Will these arms and trained operators end up being used against us rather than our adversaries? That is certainly what happened to the sophisticated military it hardware and training provided by the Americans to the Iraq army. Much of that hardware is now in the hands of ISIS

Again the question is if and when the bombing has proven counter productive, what next?

1. Will we decide to go back home and let the people in the area sort things out as best they can? Will we fold our tents and silently steal away.

2. Will our leaders decide to put boots on the ground again and try to sort things out with a full scale invasion? Canadians will then be involved in Iraq we were in Afghanistan.

Let me be perfectly clear. I have ten grandchil-dren and six great grandchildren. I do not want one of them to be sent by their government into a gorilla war in the middle east where you cannot tell friend from foe. Marching off to war in a uni-form that clearly sets you apart from the rest of the population

For heavens sake let us not exhaust our money and energy on some wild eyed bombing venture that can only send even more innocent men, women, and children on the run.

Aging population is concerning

To the Editor:

For decades, Canadian con-sumers have been accustomed to the traditional grocery store where you purchase most of your groceries under one roof once a week or every other week. That model, which emerged in the 1960s, is under serious threat now and may signal the end of the grocery store.

A few key metrics are telling us that the days of the typical grocery store are numbered. Take Loblaw for example. A good portion of Loblaw’s busi-ness, Canada’s current No.1 food retailer, is now related to non-food products.

Of course, Loblaw rocked the food retailing world last year by purchasing Shoppers Drug Mart for over $12 billion. With this act of brilliance, Loblaw acquired cheap real estate and thereby allowed its major labels like President’s Choice to reach out to urbanites longing for conve-nience, healthy food choices, and loyalty points. At the same time, consumers will now find sushi and fresh nicoise salad next to medication and makeup. Loblaw is even exploring the idea of a drive-through shopping experi-ence.

Loblaw has been quite active in reinventing itself for one rea-son: Walmart. Because of Walmart’s spectacular ascent in the food retailing world, every-one else must adjust. With its supercentres, the company now

has close to 10 per cent of the Canadian market and is striv-ing to become the No.1 food retailer not only in America - where it has held the top spot for years. And in all honesty, numbers are making it difficult to bet against Walmart’s odds these days.

Online shopping is also anoth-er legitimate menace to the tra-ditional grocery store. The vir-tual world is a channel being exploited by some very impor-tant players, particularly south of the border. Amazon, which has tremendous clout in the e-commerce space, has a grow-ing interest in food e-retailing. In fact, it is gaining market share in Los Angeles and San Francisco and may run more pilots in other countries, such as Canada. With our greying popu-lation, harsh winters, and increasingly demanding work schedules, online shopping is slowly making a case for itself.

Above all of this is the two-headed monster all food retail-ers will need to cope with in the future. On the one hand, boom-ers are slowly retiring with fixed income and depressed pensions. They will be looking for afford-able prices as much as they can. On the other hand, millennials who are becoming increasingly influential link social values to food more than their predeces-sors do: organics, fair trade, local foods - all are important to them. Farmers markets, known for high price points, are break-

ing records in sales across the country despite rising food pric-es in stores.

As a result, food demand is becoming more fragmented, which makes consumer behav-iours more challenging to antici-pate.

Food retailers will admit that not every grocery store is equal and most adapt to local needs. Since customization will become an important driver moving for-ward, specialty stores, once written off by many, may have a future after all.

Ethnicity and food trends are game changers as well. Many observers predict that 70 per cent of consumer spending growth will come from visible minorities over the next decade. Ethnic and gluten-free products are becoming better and tastier, pleasing growing segments of the market place.

But what is trendy one day may not be tomorrow, making it challenging for the food indus-try to recognize which innova-tive features have currency.

For the foreseeable future, large grocery stores will contin-ue to exist, but their numbers will drop significantly. Unlike the 1960s when one model domi-nated the market, we will soon see many successful strategies emerge to feed Canadians.

New driver August Becker leaves his cell-phone alone every time he drives.

“You just shouldn’t text and drive, it’s a stupid thing to do. I put my cellphone in my pocket where I can’t get at it to make sure it doesn’t come out,” said Becker, 16, who received his driver’s licence two months ago.

National Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct. 19 – 25, aims to help more teens think like Becker.

Organized by Parachute Canada, a national injury preven-tion organization, the week focuses on increas-ing teen driver safety awareness, safe driving choices and habits. That includes things like putting away cell-phones, driving sober, wearing seatbelts and not speeding.

All good habits that Becker is glad he adopt-ed, and encourages

friends and family to follow – even though he

admits his generation has a texting addiction and one of his friends likes to speed.

“If you’re not a safe driver, you could hurt other people, mess up someone else’s car or your own car – both would be expensive. Or you could get hurt,” said Becker.

Becker’s concerns are valid. Teen drivers have higher fatality, injury and collision rates. Last year, 15 drivers 19 years old and younger died in

col l is ions in Saskatchewan.

To give teens some extra incentive to take part in the promotional week, SGI is offering a draw to win one of three $200 VISA gift cards as part of the week-long campaign.

Teens ages 15 to 19 can enter to win by posting their pledge to drive safely using the #mysafedrivingpledge hashtag on: SGI’s Facebook page time-line, Twitter mention-ing @SGItweets, or Instagram mentioning @sgiphotos during National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 19 to 25). The draw will be made on Oct. 28, 2014.

Education Minister Don Morgan was in Moose Jaw on October 22 to kick off Education Week by celebrating local successes in the Prairie South School Division (PSSD).

Education Week runs October 19 to 25 and the theme, “Supporting and Celebrating Success”, will once again give com-munities, teachers, stu-dents, parents and care-givers the opportunity to recognize the great work taking place in Saskatchewan schools.

“I’d like to thank teachers and staff across the province for the work they do to help our stu-dents succeed,” Morgan said. “Each and every school in our province has incredible stories to tell, and I’d like to encour-age everyone to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on these suc-cesses.”

PSSD’s Practical and Applied Arts program provides career develop-ment opportunities for students and provides

valuable hands-on train-ing that is applicable to real life careers in today’s workplace. From agri-culture to welding to power engineering, stu-dents gain exposure to a variety of skills needed to identify their future career path.

There are fourteen partners involved in this collaboration, including: Ministry of Agriculture, South County Equipment, Saskatoon Industry and Education Council, Saskatchewan Poly tech-nic, SaskTel, SaskPower, Technical Safety Authority of Saskat-chewan, Saskatchewan Safety Council, Safe Saskatchewan, Workers’ Compensation Board, Safety Hutch, Acklands-Grainger, Rural Municipality of Mankota and Information and Communications Tech-nology Council.

“Part of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth is educating, training and developing a skilled workforce,” Morgan said. “This pro-

gram helps engage stu-dents in their learning and gives them exposure to a variety of possible career paths to explore their future options so they’re better prepared for their futures.”

“The project, and these partnerships, will nar-row the gap of inequities found in Practical and Applied Art credit and certifications programs in all Prairie South high schools, ensuring our students receive the information, education and experience needed to find a career they are passionate about,” Prairie South School Division Board Chair Dr. Shawn Davidson said.

Activities in schools across the province are held to highlight the achievements of students and commend the work of education profession-als.

Success stories from students, parents and teachers will be shared throughout the week on the Student First Blog at www.studentfirstsk.com/

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Marion asked me to look after the turkeys yesterday morning, as she was in a rush to get to work. My chore would be to make sure they had water and feed, and she also asked me to open the chicken coop door to let them out so they could wander around in the yard. I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, and ventured out to do the turkey chores. After topping up their feed and water, I let them out to do their exploration of the yard, and went back to my office to finish off a fairy tale that I had started writing for my grand-daughter Casey. I went to check on the turkeys about two hours later, but they were nowhere to be found in the yard, or the paddock, or the gardens by the house, and I was getting a bit concerned. Then I saw a quick flash of white feathers way down in the driveway. I hurried to put on a jacket, and headed down the drive-way after them, leaving our dog Lady in the house.

They were squawking and waddling on like a military troop, three in front and the other three right behind, waddling in step! It appeared to

me that they were about to take on the Hamlet of Hazel Dell! I quickly got in front of the little troop, turned them around, marched them back to the chicken coop, and urged them inside. When they were all finally inside I told them that because they had taken advantage of my nice manner to let them out, they would now be con-fined to the barracks (chicken coop) until the general (Marion) comes home!

I told Marion about the incident, and all she could do was to laugh! She didn’t think it would happen again, so this morning she asked me again to take care of the turkeys, but to make sure I did it early this morning, including let-ting them out. I was still in my pyjamas, so I put on my boots and threw on my jacket. I filled their water and the feed, and let them out. However, I forgot to give them instructions as to the areas that would be off limits, as in the drive-way. I went back to the house and was disrobed heading to the shower when I looked out of the window and saw the tur-key troop waddling down the driveway. I quickly pulled on my pyjama pants, boots and a jacket and hurried out after them. They heard me coming and started to run while glancing over their shoulders. But I was faster, got ahead of

them and turned them around. This time Lady was with me, and Lady is a mix between a Collie and a Labrador, so she is a bit confused as to what her role would be, either herding or hunting, she chose hunting.

Lady ran along side of the last turkey on her side. She kept hitting the turkey with her shoulder in an attempt to separate the turkey from the troop. A quick shout from me made Lady give up her hunt and come next to me, helping me to herd the turkeys back to the chicken coop. I locked them up again!

I thought to myself that yesterday was defi-nitely a turkey trot, but this morning had to be described as a pyjama trot!

BIG ONIONS – Walter Mysko has had a successful growing season this year, and his garden has an onion with a 46” stem. Mysko says he didn’t do anything special to grow the big plant, it just had a longer growing season due to being a leftover from the previous year.

With the back-to-school frenzy coming to an end, many parents can turn their attention to other family matters such as extracurricular activities, school report cards and the all-impor-tant, eye exam. October is Children’s Vision Month serving as a reminder for parents to arrange an eye examina-tion with a Doctor of Optometry.

Eighty percent of learning is obtained through vision. Many parents may not be aware that undiagnosed vision problems can affect chil-dren’s learning and development, and pre-vent them from reaching their full potential.

The need for aware-ness is real. One in four school-age children has a vision problem, and the majority of problems have no easy-to-detect symptoms. This makes it

impossible for parents to know if their child is the “one”.

Vision conditions can manifest in school, social-ly and in play. By ensur-ing your child has healthy visual skills, you enable them to play, learn, socialize and fully experi-ence everything life has to offer.

The Minister of Health, Honorable Dustin Duncan and Yorkton Mayor Bob Maloney have both pro-claimed “October is Children’s Vision Month” whereby encouraging all parents to ensure their children can see proper-ly. One in four school-age children has a vision problem and if left untreated, can affect proper learning and development.

Sun. & Holidays ClosedCash is king – it’s a

common saying in the business world. But surprisingly few entre-preneurs take steps to manage their cash flow so they don’t wind up with an empty bank account and nothing to pay the bills.

“One of the main causes of business fail-ure is poor cash flow management,” says Susan Rohac, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). The good news: cash flow management is easy to improve with a few simple steps. “Getting control over your cash flow helps you prepare for slow periods, plan your financing and have peace of mind,” Rohac says.

Follow these five steps to get a better handle on your cash flow.

1) Profitability check. First, make sure your business is earning a reasonable profit. Even the greatest cash flow management won’t help if your fundamentals are out of whack.

Analyze each prod-uct and service sepa-rately to see whether it’s pulling its weight. Make sure your prod-ucts are appropriately priced, and work to

eliminate inefficiencies. Instead of just chasing sales, chase profitable sales.

In 2007, Mike Whittaker’s company Bonté Foods learned the consequences of poor cash flow the hard way after facing large cost overruns on two major projects.

The company had to act quickly to restore its cash position. It analyzed its profitabili-ty and realized it had to raise prices to better reflect costs. Bonté also unloaded lower-margin product lines and launched an efficiency drive while tightening cash flow manage-ment.

The changes had a huge impact. Sales in Bonté’s meat division are up 36% since 2009, while gross profit is up almost 6%. “We learned to watch our cash very carefully,” Whittaker says. “You need to always be ahead of the curve on cash flow man-agement.”

2 Do a cash flow pro-jection. Next, prepare a cash flow projection for the coming year. This is your early warning system for cash flow hiccups. Use an Excel spreadsheet or account-ing software to plug in expected monthly cash inflows and outflows, including anticipated big-ticket purchases.

Use the projection to anticipate slow periods and plan in advance what to do about them. “Through the year, check your actual cash position regularly—once a week or month—against your projection to see how you’re doing and deal promptly with any divergences,” advises Rohac.

Five tips to manage your cash flow

Many Businesses Ignore Cash Flow

Management: Survey

BDC’s Susan Rohac points out that man-aging finances is one of the main challenges for entrepreneurs, coming in second after marketing and sales. The findings of a BDC survey this year con-firm her observation:

• More than four out of five entrepre-neurs (82%) say they’re the ones man-aging cash flow and financing in the com-pany.

• However, many of the entrepreneurs don’t take basic steps to control their financ-es. Almost half say they don’t make cash flow projections and check them against actual results—a basic procedure of financial manage-ment.

3) Finance big buys instead of draining cash. One of the most common cash flow mistakes is using cash to buy a major long-term asset, instead of getting financing. Even if you feel flush right now, you may suddenly wind up short of cash if you experience a sudden revenue shortfall or rapid growth.

Use your cash flow projection to plan your financing needs ahead

of time, not in the midst of a crisis, when bankers may be wary to lend. Rohac also recommends matching the lifespan of a pur-chase with financing of similar duration.

4) Speed up cash inflows. Getting money into your business more quickly can save you carrying costs on your line of credit. Some tips: send out invoices more quickly, ask customers to pay electronically and charge interest to slow-payers.

5) Raise cash quick-ly in a crunch. Facing an unexpected cash flow crunch? You can raise cash quickly using various tech-niques: approach your bank for help; check your inventory and assets to see what you can sell off, even at a discount; ask suppli-ers or your landlord for extra time to pay bills; or offer your cus-tomers a big discount to earn some quick sales.

Manage your cash flow

Saskatchewan’s economy continues to outperform, supported by a diverse resource base and healthy demographic trends, according to the Provincial Monitor report released today by BMO Economics. While a fall in crop production will lead to growth in the prov-ince of just 1.0 per cent in 2014, a jump back up to 2.7 per cent growth is expected next year.

“Saskatchewan is seeing stable and solid overall economic trends,” said Robert Kavcic , Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “The oil sector continues to expand, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of the province’s real GDP with direct roy-alties alone account-ing for 13 per cent of total government rev-enues. This is good news given uncertain-ty and softening activ-ity in the potash sec-tor, which faces weak-er demand in China and India, as well as a shift to a lower pric-ing environment after the breakdown of a major joint venture between Uralkali of R u s s i a a n d Belaruskal i o f Belarus.”

The labour market continues to perform well, and the province is making a case to be crowned the new

Canadian leader. “Employment has popped 3.3 per cent in the past year - leading the country,” noted Mr. Kavcic. “The job-

less rate fell back down to 3.5 per cent in September - lowest in Canada - and the employment rate hit a record high at just under 68 per cent, second among all the provinces. Median hourly wages trails only Alberta, but its growth is actually running faster.”

Population growth remains strong in the province, near the fastest pace in 60 years at 1.7 per cent year over year in the third quarter of 2014. “Saskatchewan con-tinues to see steady, albeit modest, inward interprovincial migra-tion,” stated Mr. Kavcic. “That contin-ues to support the demand side of the housing market - sales are currently near record levels - but

ample supply has soft-ened the pricing envi-ronment.”

The agriculture sec-tor is experiencing volatility in crop pro-duction. “The farm sector enjoyed a bum-per crop in 2013, with a near-40 per cent jump in crop produc-tion to a record 38.4 million tonnes,” said Mr. Kavcic. “This year, however, pro-duction is expected to fall sharply back toward more normal levels, with recent estimates pegging wheat and canola down more than 20 per cent for the year. That could cut almost 1.5 percentage points from real GDP growth.”

“The economy in Saskatchewan contin-ues to outperform many of the other provinces,” said John MacAulay, Senior Vice President, Prairies and Central Canada Division, BMO Bank of Montreal. “Our cli-ents have indicated that a number of fac-tors continue to sup-port their optimism, including the diverse resource base and expanding oil sector. However, the most significant indicator is the population boom - nearly the fastest in 60 years - which is supporting a variety of infrastructure ini-tiatives.”

Starting a small busi-ness and running it suc-cessfully are no easy tasks. In fact, most new businesses don’t survive to celebrate their fifth birthday.

A Statistics Canada study found that one quarter of businesses founded during the 1990s ceased to operate within the first 2 years. Only 36% survived 5 years or more and just one fifth were around 10 years later.

Step 1–What to do before starting a busi-ness

Step 2–Prepare a win-ning business plan

How to become an entrepreneur: Do you have what it takes?

Turning your idea into a successful busi-ness

But don’t lose faith. There are techniques to improve your business’s odds of success. And they almost all come down to following time-tested methods that are easy to learn.

“It is all about doing the things you are sup-posed to do, when you are supposed to do them,” says Steven Karpenko, director, small business markets, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you follow sound fundamen-tals, your chances of suc-cess will be far higher.”

Here are some tips for putting your new busi-ness on the road to suc-cess.

1. Proceed methodi-cally. Don’t take exces-sive risks

A recent study called From Predators to Icons, by French academics

Michel Villette and Catherine Vuillermot, argues that highly suc-cessful entrepreneurs such as Ted Turner, Sam Walton and Bernard Arnault are anything but the big risk-takers that popular mythology often makes them out to be. According to the study’s authors, their subjects act more like predators, moving slowly and cautiously, minimiz-ing risk, and striking at carefully chosen moments when the odds are on their side.

2. Plan effectivelyEvery ounce of work

at the planning stage equals pounds of success at the execution stage. For a new business, it all comes together in a busi-ness plan. Successful entrepreneurs define specific goals in writing. They devote consider-able effort to key tasks, such as studying their target market, defining marketing strategies and compiling cash-flow forecasts. They also build industry contacts to help them along the way.

3. Define an effective value proposition

This sounds wordy, but it amounts to mak-ing sure that your prod-uct or service is more appealing to customers than your competitors’ offerings. Successful entrepreneurs know that no matter how good their offerings are, they won’t attract customers unless they have a clear com-parative advantage.

4. Line up the right people

Successful entrepre-neurs may be the best sales representatives in

their firm, but they’re rarely also the best accountants, operations managers or legal experts. What they do know is how to assemble effective teams to get the job done.

5. Line up adequate financing in advance

This crucial step is a direct offshoot of proper planning. Financing is a business’s oxygen; if it runs out, the business will often die, no matter how strong its potential. Successful entrepre-neurs line up their financing early, before they need the cash. And potential investors, part-ners and lenders will be far more likely to sup-port the business if they are provided with detailed plans at the out-set.

6. Find out what help is available

Federal, provincial and municipal govern-ments and agencies offer a range of assistance to budding entrepreneurs.

7. Think long termWhen entrepreneurs

go into business, they are naturally focused on their first weeks and months. However, in many industries, pur-chasing cycles can be much longer. For exam-ple, an entrepreneur who spends his first year in business developing a new software product will then need to devote considerable time to marketing it. By think-ing long term, entrepre-neurs can make sure they have sufficient resources to get their business on a secure footing.

Entrepreneurs have to innovate to survive and thrive. However, innovation often doesn’t come easily. Let’s face it. It’s the rare business that strikes it rich with some mind-blowing high-tech invention or cool new wonder-product.

In fact, that’s not the kind of innovation that has the most impact in the small business world, says Michael Selci, Senior Vice President, Finance and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). Much more important is some-thing called incremental innovation—small, man-ageable improvements in your business.

They might not be as sexy as a fancy new prod-uct that makes a big splash in the news or revolutionizes an indus-try, but they’re the bread and butter of most highly innovative businesses, Selci says. And given the limited R&D resources at most small companies, incremental innovation probably offers the best payoff for entrepreneurs over the long-term.

“If you don’t innovate, you risk falling behind,” Selci says. “But radical innovation isn’t the

answer for most businesses. Small incremental steps are what they need to work on to help their busi-ness grow.”

Rob Read of Bison Fire Protection agrees. His company, which supplies fire protection products and ser-vices, is growing at an impressive clip, with sales shooting up 20% each year since 2001. Bison has ranked as one of Canada’s top 500 fastest-growing companies two years in a row.

What is Bison’s secret? Constant i m p r o v e m e n t , Read says. “I think if you’re not inno-vating, changing or trying things, you’re dying. If you think business is done the same way as 10 or even five years ago, you’re wrong,” he says. “It doesn’t have to be the clouds parting and light beaming down. And we’re talking doable things – little changes on

a regular basis.”Read recently brought

in an outside consultant to audit his business pro-

cesses and look for effi-ciencies. He had noticed some of his employees were overworked, so he wanted to find ways to make their lives easier. “If you’re running a mar-athon every day, you’ll lose a lot of your people,” he says. The expert rec-ommended some simple streamlining measures, such as processing paper-work more efficiently

and improving scheduling and inventory manage-ment. It sounds like simple stuff, but these innova-tions made a huge difference.

“That marathon turned into a walk in the park. People are less stressed. We’re getting bet-ter production with the same people and lower costs,” Read says. “The staff have repeat-edly come to me and said, ‘Thank you.’”

Another recent innovation was to start having week-ly meetings to brief sales people and project managers on the status of various jobs. That’s resulted in better productivity and customer service, Read says.

One more inno-vation: hiring a supervisor for each of Bison’s three divisions. Thanks to these managers, employees are now

getting better sup-port and training. Bison has also started invest-ing more in its people by offering weekly staff training sessions.

And Read’s not done. Upcoming plans include a customer survey and another outside audit in a year or two. “As we grow,” he says, “I’m con-tinually looking at ways to innovate.”

Innovation can be taken in small steps

Do your homework before you start

3 Tips for Small-Step InnovationMany entrepreneurs

shy away from innova-tion. “They view it as something complex or revolutionary that only the big guys can take on. Or they’re so busy trying to manage day-to-day operations and customers that they say they don’t have time for it and are fine as is,” BDC’s Michael Selci says.

However, innova-tion can be tackled in small steps that are easy to manage. Here are some tips:

1) Constantly review your processes and products to see what you can improve. Seek advice from an indus-try expert or an exter-nal consultant with expertise in functional areas such as human resources, lean man-agement or information and communication technology. Talk with suppliers and listen to customers to get new ideas.

2) Form partner-ships with universities and colleges to culti-vate ideas and poten-tial employees.

3) Shorten your idea-to-market cycle. Quickly see whether there is market inter-est in your idea. Test a new product inexpen-sively by promoting it on eBay or YouTube. Gauge market reaction, and innovate based on the feedback.

The art of the violin on display at Godfrey Dean

By DEVIN WILGER

N-R Writer

For sixty years, from

1935 to 1996 James

Huziak made violins,

putting together over

fifty instruments sim-

ply for the joy of music

and Now thirty five

examples of his craft

are on display at the

Godfrey Dean Art

Gallery.Jim Huziak, James’

son, says that the show

came about because gal-

lery director Don Stein

heard about his efforts

to document all of the

violins in the collection.

The family thought it

was a good idea to put

together a celebration

of the work, including a

concert in the evening

because a violin is

meant to play music

above all else.

The art of violin

manufacture was a

hobby for James, Huziak

says, and he was never

interested in selling the

instruments, instead

focused on making each

one better than the last.

While an instrument

could be sold, the price

was $2,000, a serious

amount for an instru-

ment in the 1970s. The

reason for the high price

was because he wanted

them to be serious play-

ers making an invest-

ment.“He wasn’t going to

give them up to just

hang on the wall.”

The fact that he was

not interested in sales

is a big reason why the

show can happen, and

Huziak says he has not

heard of another case of

so many instruments

made by one person still

in the same collection.

More than just music,

the violins also contain

local history, as some of

the instruments are

made out of things like

wood components of

threshing machines, or

the counter of a hard-

ware store.This is the first time

the violins have been

shown together, and

Huziak says that this is

really the first time

many people have seen

what his father had

worked on for so many

years. “Even people we have

known all our lives is

the surprised by the

number of them.”

Huziak says it’s

rewarding to see people

enjoying the violins

again, and given that

his father made them to

play them, it’s a fitting

tribute to have a con-

cert on his instru-

ments.This show will be the

last time all of the vio-

lins are in the same

place. Huziak says that

when it comes to vio-

lins, they need to be

played and enjoyed,

rather than hang on the

wall as they are now, so

they are planning to sell

the collection. However,

they want the instru-

ments to be sold to peo-

ple who will play them,

and Huziak says they

are trying to find seri-

ous players to sell the

instruments to.

“A violin hanging on

the wall is a waste, it’s

just a piece of wood.

They have to be played.

They have to be moved

and I would like to see

them in the hands of

violinists. They improve

if they are played and

they just get old if they

don’t.”The show runs until

December 6 at the

Godfrey Dean.

CFUW celebrates 60 years in Yorkton

By DEVIN WILGER

N-R Writer

The Canadian

Federation of University

Women has been in

Yorkton for 60 years in

2014, and in that time

has been an integral

part of the community,

supporting a wide range

of causes and the edu-

cation of local young

women through schol-

arships. To celebrate

the 60 year anniversary

of the group, they are

holding a celebration

on October 18.

Eileen Harvey,

CFUW Yorkton presi-

dent, says that the

group has been focused

on improving the area

from its inception,

whether that was advo-

cating for the establish-

ment of the Parkland

Library and

Kindergarten in schools

many years ago, or

more recent efforts such

as a forum on afford-

able senior’s housing or

advocating for missing

and murdered aborigi-

nal women, sparked by

the Tina Fontaine

case.“We focus on trying

to improve women’s

education and their

status in society, pro-

moting their equality.”

One of the programs

which the CFUW has

been heavily involved

in was lobbying for a

recycling program

within the city, and

Harvey says that this

has been one of the big

success stories for the

group.“We were instrumen-

tal in getting that going,

and we received nation-

al recognition for our

efforts on that.”

The world has

changed significantly

since the group began,

with more women in

careers that previously

would not have been

open to them, as well as

more women in public

leadership roles.

However, she says that

while it’s better than it

was when the group

was formed, there is

still a lot of work to be

done, and she notes

that evidence can be

found in the relatively

small number of women

in parliament or in the

country’s top CEOs. It’s

the club’s goal, both on

a local and a national

level, to promote women

advancing in those

roles.

Harvey says that it’s

important to realize

just how much has

changed since the club’s

inception, and even in

the past 30 years. She

says that it can be a

struggle to connect to

young women, who

haven’t lived without

the advances groups

like the CFUW have

worked to achieve.

“A lot of work has

been done, but there’s

still a lot of work to do

and improve.”

The event itself will

feature the Canadian

president Doris Mae

Oulton as its keynote

speaker. Oulton has

held a number of key

positions both within

the group and in her

career overall, and

Harvey says that she

anticipates it being a

great speech and that

Oulton is someone they

are proud to call the

national president.

The supper celebra-

tion will be at the St.

Mary’s Cultural Center

on October 18, begin-

ning at 5:00 p.m. and is

$30 per person. For

What is the cost of losing a good employ-ee? Entrepreneurs know it can be high.

At Frima Studio, a fast-growing video game maker, the chal-lenge of attracting and keeping talent got harder five years ago, when a pair of deep-pocketed multination-al competitors opened offices nearby. “We couldn’t compete on salary, so we decided to create an attractive workplace – one that was fun and inspir-ing,” says Nathalie McLaughlin, Frima’s Human Resources Director.

Twice a year, Frima emulates the “Dragons’ Den” TV show and invites its employees to pitch innovative projects to a panel of judges. “If we judge a project to be solid enough and to have sufficient marketing potential, we will release its creators from a few of their usual tasks so that they can devote one day a week to the development of their amazing idea. A few months later, we review the state of the project and decide if it’s worth pursuing, in which case we green-light its production and marketing. This program is already starting to yield impressive results,” explains McLaughlin.

The array of bene-fits designed to make Frima’s employees’ lives easier includes flexible work hours, as well as a week of paid vacation time between the 25th of December and the New Year. The company offers employees gaming areas and an on-site gym. Twice a month, two massage thera-pists and a hair stylist also drop by.

Frima isn’t alone in turning to creative ways to provide employees with non-monetary rewards.

“Companies in all industries—not just high-tech—increas-ingly see non-financial compensation as vital to their growth,” says

Nathalie Gélinas, Senior Vice President, Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). In today’s challenging economy, it’s harder than ever for many entrepreneurs to find the resources to draw in and retain skilled employees, she adds. At the same time, boomers are quitting the labour market, leading to labour shortages in many fields. This means businesses are increas-ingly competing for good workers, but they have less money to do it with.

The good news: non-financial benefits can be inexpensive and can even boost a com-pany’s productivity, Gélinas says. “The cost is a lot smaller than what the employer gets back. Losing an employee is very cost-ly. Human capital is the most important resource a business has,” she says. “The ultimate challenge is to mobilize employees. Salary alone will never mobilize or retain tal-ent over the long-term. Businesses should be creative about finding ways to attract and engage talent.”

At Frima, the e m p l o y e e - f r i e n d l y workplace became a beacon for smart, enthusiastic workers who helped propel the company’s explosive growth. “The key to our success is our work culture,” McLaughlin says. “We listen to employees a lot. People always talk about the customer experience. We have developed the employee experience. It means people don’t want to leave.”

Frima also has a performance reward system that awards points that employees can exchange for ser-vices, thus reinforcing the company’s commit-ment to helping employees maintain work-family balance. Perks include tax preparation, lawn mowing, babysitting, movie/dinner combos and more. “Our office

is completely different from anything else in the area. It’s really

made a difference in attracting people,” McLaughlin says.

Frima’s success shows that while pay is important, it isn’t what makes employ-ees happy at work, Gél inas says . Employees want flexi-bility, trust and the chance to develop as part of a team, she adds. “We spend a lot of time listening to customers to serve them better. We also need to listen to employees.”

Non-financial assets can be a game changer

How to Compensate

Without Cash

E n t r e p r e n e u r s should listen to employees to learn what benefits they value and work on non-financial com-pensation constantly until it becomes part of the company’s way of life, BDC’s Nathalie Gélinas says. Here are three types of non-financial com-pensation to consid-er.

1) Flexibility. A flexible workplace is increasingly in demand. You can offer flexibility in terms of time (vari-able work hours) and space (opportunities to work outside the office).

2) Trust. Employees like to have responsibility, work in a harmoni-ous environment and be trusted to make decisions. At the same time, you should hold employ-ees accountable via solid performance appraisals.

3 ) Se l f -d e v e l o p m e n t . E n t r e p r e n e u r s should think about how to help employ-ees develop them-selves. The result will be more a pro-ductive and motivat-ed workforce.

Looking for an easy and inexpensive way to energize your business, boost sales and plan for the future? Here’s an often-overlooked idea: create an advisory board.

Only a meagre 6 per cent of Canadian entre-preneurs have an advi-sory board for their busi-ness, according to a sur-vey this year by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). However, 86 per cent of entrepreneurs who have an advisory board say it’s had a significant impact on their busi-ness.

“Once people under-stand the benefits, they become big fans,” says Pierre Cléroux, BDC’s Vice President of Research and Chief Economist. “There are really practical, tangible benefits for the bottom line.”

BDC’s research bears that out. The study shows that annual sales at businesses with an advisory board were 24 per cent higher than those at companies with-out one, and productivity was 18 per cent higher.

An advisory board is an informal body of out-side experts that an entrepreneur can use as a sounding board or to fill in gaps in expertise and contacts. Unlike a board of directors, advi-sory boards have no legal responsibility for the company’s governance, but experts say they still bring a lot of value.

Jean-Yves Sarazin knows the benefits first hand. He created an advisory board back in 1990 at his company Groupe Delom, which offers maintenance and manufacturing rotating equipment such as motors, pumps and ven-tilators. At his advisory

board’s very first meet-ing, Sarazin was referred to a financial institution that allowed his compa-ny to save tens of thou-sands of dollars through lower interest charges on a loan.

“Every entrepreneur should have an advisory board. Each time I’ve seen a company create one, the first meeting produces a return that is enough to cover the com-pensation for the whole year,” he says. Sarazin has become such a big supporter of the idea that he has agreed to sit on several other compa-nies’ advisory boards as a way of giving back for the help he’s received over the years.

Another benefit: an advisory board obliges entrepreneurs to periodi-cally step back and look at the overall direction of their business. “Just get-ting ready for my meet-ing with the advisory board forces me to take stock of the business and consider it from new angles,” Sarazin says.

Having an advisory board also reassures financial institutions, which examine the qual-ity of the company’s team when assessing a loan application, he says. “It shows you’re not alone in making decisions.”

So why don’t more businesses have an advi-sory board? Some entre-preneurs think it may be too time-consuming to create one or are simply unaware of the benefits, Cléroux explains. But the payoffs, he says, are usually well worth the effort and cost (some companies offer advisors a nominal honorarium, while others don’t com-pensate them).

“An advisory board is a good tool to force the business owner to think more about the compa-

ny’s vision, long-term goals and how to achieve them,” Cléroux says. “The benefits are way bigger than the cost to the business.”

Taking advice can help entrepreneurs

How to Set Up an Advisory Board

Setting up an advisory board is easier than you might think. “It’s not that hard to find people to sit on an advisory board. Experienced CEOs often agree because they want to help their community,” says BDC’s Pierre Cléroux.

• Ask your accoun-tant, lawyer or busi-ness network to refer potential candidates. Some business asso-ciations offer a ser-vice to help compa-nies find advisory board members.

• Effective advi-sory board members tend to be veteran business people who offer expertise an entrepreneur may lack. They should be completely indepen-dent of the company, rather than your accountant or law-yer—“someone who will give you the true story,” as Cléroux puts it.

• Entrepreneurs should meet their advisory board regu-larly—for example, on a monthly or quarterly basis. About 60 per cent of advisory board mem-bers receive no com-pensation, while oth-ers usually get a modest honorarium. A restaurant meal or retreat can also be a way to thank advi-sors.

Supporting job creation and economic growth is still our Conservative Government’s top priori-ty.

From October 19th to the 25th, Canada is cele-brating Small Business Week, which highlights the grit, creativity and dedication of Canadian small business owners and celebrates the hard-working Canadians that help keep our communi-ties prosperous.

We have many such people right here in the Yorkton-Melville constit-uency, where many of our communities rely on their vital small businesses. Indeed, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), small-and-medi-um-sized businesses employ 70% of the private sector workforce—almost 8 million Canadians. Therefore, helping Canada’s small business community continue to grow and thrive is essen-tial to Canada’s continued economic prosperity.

Since 2006 our Conservative Government has introduced a number of measures aimed at helping support small business growth. This includes the temporary hiring credit and the EI rate freeze. In total, small businesses have seen their taxes reduced by 34% since 2006.

At the same time, we have enhanced the

Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption and promoted Canada’s vibrant venture capital system through the Venture Capital Action Plan. We’ve also taken steps to help Canada’s small business-es expand into new mar-kets through our ambi-tious trade agenda. That agenda has made it pos-sible to secure free trade deals with the world’s largest single market, the European Union, and with South Korea— which will expand Canada’s trade footprint in the lucrative Asia-Pacific market.

But with ongoing glob-al economic uncertainty, we know the job isn’t done yet.

That’s why our Government is introduc-ing the Small Business Job Credit, something that could prove very helpful right in this con-stituency. The Small Business Job Credit will lower small businesses’ payroll taxes by 15% over the next two years, saving them roughly $550 mil-lion which they can rein-

vest in their businesses and use to hire more Canadians.

Canada’s economy emerged from the global recession better off than most. Unlike both opposi-tion parties, our Conservative Government doesn’t think hard-work-ing small business owners should be penalized for their success with higher taxes.

Recently Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Finance, noted that “the last federal Liberal gov-ernment jacked up EI taxes and used almost $60 billion as a political slush fund.” In contrast, he believes “our govern-ment’s plan is affordable and will create thousands of new jobs.”

Through important measures such as the Small Business Job Credit, our Conservative Government is helping Canada’s small business owners, like those who own the businesses you regularly patronize in your own community, keep Canada’s economy strong and prosperous.

Strategic planning may seem like an obscure concept for many entrepreneurs and it’s definitely had some overexposure in the business press.

Why? Simply put, strategic planning determines exactly where your organiza-tion is going over the next year or more and how it’s going to get there. A strategic plan is a coordinated and systematic way to develop a course and

direction for your com-pany.

Basically, if you don’t have a strategic plan, it’s akin to navigating unknown territory without a map. And without a map, you’re lost in a highly competi-tive business environ-ment that will inevita-bly throw these chal-lenges your way: Increasing globaliza-tion, unpredictable investment patterns, more demanding clients and the dizzying speed

of technology. A rule of thumb is that if there’s uncertainty on the hori-zon, which there always is today, the greater the need for strategic plan-ning.

Economic downturn? An ideal time to elimi-nate waste and invest in your business

Keep in mind that strategic planning usu-ally involves a number of steps and people use a myriad of terms. You’ll find vocabulary such as organic strate-

gic planning, issues-based planning and goals-based planning. But in the end, the terms aren’t that impor-tant. Since no two busi-nesses are alike, the process you choose to do your strategic planning should fit the nature of your business. You can adapt it to suit your needs. For example, if you’re a small firm, a brief strategic plan might be appropriate. If you’re a bigger compa-ny, a more detailed plan

on various aspects of your organization may be more effective.

What’s important is that you have a docu-ment that outlines where your company is going, so that everybody in your business is working with the same i n f o r m a t i o n . Ultimately, strategic planning helps to gauge what an organization is, what it does exactly, and why it does it, with a focus of optimizing your future potential.

It’s not a business plan

Don’t confuse a stra-tegic plan with a busi-ness plan, which is a much broader docu-ment and includes a strategic plan, a mar-keting plan, financial plan and operational plan.

Prepare and define the scope of your plan-ning by reviewing your motivation, costs and means.

Planning for good and bad times makes sense

Page 18A - THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 23, 2014

Planning for good and bad timesContinued from Page 9

Analyze your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats through a review of your compa-ny’s internal environ-ment and looking at external factors such as competition and demographics.

Formulate strate-gies by looking at exactly what strategies and tactics you take as a result of the above factors.

Implement your strategies by assessing your resources and get-ting your plan on paper.

Communicating the plan by getting your message out to your key players.

Measuring your suc-cess by tracking your progress and motivat-ing your employees to keep up their efforts.

Who carries it out?Your strategic plan-

ning should be carried out in a team environ-

ment that involves key players in your busi-ness. Generally, it’s headed by the presi-dent of the company, who gets input from employees or a specific team assigned. The team identifies key fac-tors for the strategic analysis and partici-pates in that diagnosis through, for example, interviews. The team is also involved in the formulation of the stra-tegic direction and action plans.

When is the best time for strategic plan-ning?

The scheduling for the strategic planning process depends large-ly on the nature and needs of your organiza-tion. For example, if your business environ-ment changes rapidly, strategic planning is essential to keep afloat and should be carried out at least once a year. A rule of thumb is to be disciplined and ensure it happens regularly.

How will it benefit you?

Strategic planning will help you:

Define the purpose of your company and set realistic goals.

Communicate those goals to your players.

Ensure employees better use resources.

Measure your prog-ress and find means to fill gaps.

Build a consensus in your company about where your organiza-tion is going.

Increase productivi-ty by ensuring that employees know where they’re going and what’s expected of them.

Capitalize on your strengths.

Overcome your weaknesses.

Take advantage of business opportuni-ties.

Defend against threats to your organi-zation.

Small and medium-sized businesses are the cornerstone of the Canadian economy. They account for 99.9 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60% of private sector

workers. At the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), we believe this contribution deserves to be celebrated. We also believe entrepre-neurs need support in building successful,

innovative business-es.

For 35 years, the Business Development Bank of Canada has been organizing BDC Small Business WeekTM in recogni-tion of the contribu-

tions and achieve-ments of Canada’s entrepreneurs. Events held during the week bring entrepreneurs together at conferenc-es, luncheons and trade fairs across the country where they

have the opportunity to learn, network and enjoy themselves in the company of their peers.

In 2013, over 280 activities across Canada attracted close to 10,000 busi-

ness people to BDC Small Business Week. This BDC flagshipevent celebrates entrepreneurship at the local, provincial and national levels.

Canada’s engine of growth is small business

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 23, 2014 - Page 19A

Every entrepre-neur feels it at some point: the fear of fail-ure. Only half of new businesses make it to their fifth birthday, and that can cause entrepreneurs a lot of stress. However, experts say failure can actually lead to major accomplish-ments.

In fact, failure has been a key ingredient in some of the busi-ness world’s great success stories, says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Public Affairs at the Business Develop-ment Bank of Canada (BDC). “Canadian entrepreneurs and the public at large need to be more for-giving about failure. Failure–and learning from mistakes–is often an important milestone on the path to success,” Bergeron says. “We have to change our percep-tion about failure in order to help business owners stay in the game.”

Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She points to the new BDC E n t r e p r e n e u r i a l Resili ency Award, an initiative that recog-nizes a Canadian business that has successfully under-gone a turnaround or pivotal event in the past and come back stronger because of it. “Many entrepre-neurs talk about some kind of massive fail-ure or hurdle they’ve overcome,” says Conroy, Vice President of Transaction Advisory

Services at EY. She is also President of the Montreal chapter of the Turnaround Manage ment Associ-ation, a group for cor-porate turnaround experts that teamed up with BDC for this award.

No business is too big or too small to confront roadblocks. Bergeron cites the example of Groupon, the giant deals web-site. The company got its start as a social media site called The Point, which was cre-ated to help people connect for social activism purposes. After a year of effort and US$1 million in operating costs, the start-up was going nowhere.

“The founders shifted gears and turned their offering into the discount cou-pon service Groupon. They learned, adapt-ed and made a for-tune,” Bergeron says. Two years later, the shift in focus proved profitable: Groupon ballooned from a few dozen employees to 10,000 and was the fastest company in history to make US$1 billion in revenue.

Bergeron advises entrepreneurs to adopt a “try, try again” philosophy. At its core: learning from mistakes and showing resilience, a new business approach that is growing in popularity in today’s rapidly changing economy, he says. Instead of the old model, which emphasized extensive planning before

launching a new ven-ture—by which time technology and mar-kets may change sub-stantially—the new approach favours a lean and nimble start-up.

The idea is to engage customers early with a basic product, even if you haven’t worked out all the bugs. The sec-ond step: Learn quickly from custom-er feedback and mis-steps. Third: Constantly refine your efforts. And the final secret ingredi-ent: Don’t give up.

“I don’t think fear is all bad. It can be healthy and reason-able. It keeps entre-preneurs from mak-ing rash decisions,” Conroy says. “But it’s important to avoid excessive hesitation and waiting for the exact perfect moment. Trying, failing and trying again is much better than not try-ing at all.”

Canadians Slow to Accept Failure

How do entrepreneurs turn failure into suc-cess? “They have had a knack for seeing failure as an opportunity or challenge,” says BDC’s Michel Bergeron. “When solution ‘A’ didn’t work, they tried solution ‘B’ if they were still convinced there was a need. Or they decided to meet a dif-ferent need and, in the process, found a new path. The setback helped them identify a weak-ness, and they fixed it.”

Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She cites a 2013 EY survey that found the following:

• Over one third of Canadian entrepreneurs (35 per cent) said business failure is seen as a barrier to future business prospects. This is 9 percentage points higher than the average across the G-20 countries, which was 26 per cent.

• Canadian may be more worried about fail-ure because of “higher expectations,” but they should also keep in mind Canada’s “many entre-preneurial upsides,” such as the low cost of start-ing a business, the survey authors noted.

50/50 & MEAT DRAWS EVERY FRI & SAT

For many of us, meat is an important part of our daily diet. Whether it be beef, lamb, pork or chicken, it is important to know the basics of creating the most flavour possi-ble.

Marinades seem to be first and foremost in people’s minds when it comes to creating fla-vour in cooked meats. Although they do cre-ate flavour, they are also important in mak-ing a cut of meat more tender. The best mari-nades are made up from the simplest of ingredi-ents that you have in your home already. Please don’t rely on the packages of powder you find at the supermar-kets. Marinades are made up from a base, an acid, flavourful ingredients, and salt. The base of a marinade is usually oil, as this will aid in the cooking process. An acid such as vinegar, wine, or lemon juice is added to breakdown the tougher proteins found in the meat. Red meats, depending on the cuts, are the toughest and are better to marinate from one hour up to twenty-four hours. Chicken and pork pro-teins are much more delicate and are more preferably marinated for no longer than four to six hours. Over mari-nated chicken will actu-ally start to become tough.

The flavour combi-nations that can be added to a marinade are literally endless. Crushed garlic, herbs, spices, and condiments, are just a few. Be cre-ative! Don’t forget the salt as it is crucial to assist in the marinade penetrating the meat thoroughly.

Flavour creation does not only exist by

marinating. Searing meats, marinated or not, is very important. There is usually no cooking method that should exempt one from searing meat first. This develops a crust that will carry flavour all the way through to the finished dish one is pre-paring. Stew, for exam-ple, has a more devel-oped beef flavour when the stew meat pieces are browned prior to the addition of other ingredients.

Many presume sear-ing seals juices inside the meat. This, howev-er, is incorrect as no amount of searing can prevent the loss of moisture.

The flavour in crust development can be enhanced even further by the addition of sea-soning. You may want to add salt & pepper to the meat prior to sear-ing. This simple sea-soning will then become part of the meat’s outer shell. Applying dry rubs, consisting of a mixture of many differ-ent spices, prior to sear-ing is popular for add-ing a complexity of fla-vours.

Searing should be done at a high temper-ature with an small amount of oil that is suitable for high tem-peratures, such as grape seed oil, rice bran oil, or even canola or vegetable oil in a pinch. Do not crowd the pan or surface area, as this will decrease the tem-perature and cause the

meat to simmer in its juices rather than cara-melize. Searing also creates “browned bits” (called fond) on the bot-tom of a pan. Fond will also add depth in fla-vour to a sauce being created. To achieve this, add a liquid, such as wine or stock, to the pan and loosen these bits with a wooden spoon - just make sure the pan is not too hot and there is very little residual oil left in the pan. Use this liquid as a part of the sauce, or reduce it further it to become a sauce of its own - I will always add a splash of whipping cream for better colour and consistency. The reduction process of these liquids will cause water to evaporate thus concentrating the fla-vours and creating a desired sauce consis-tency. Taste and adjust the sauce as necessary prior to serving.

Furthermore I can-not end this column without mentioning the benefit of cooking over charcoal. Lump char-coal is one of the oldest known forms of cooking fuel to mankind. I am not talking about man-made square briquettes here, just natural lump charcoal (basically chunks of wood that are burnt in a silo with very little or no oxygen). The flavour complexity lump charcoal adds to meat, vegetables, and other foods is unparal-leled to anything else and simply switching

to lump charcoal from your usual choice of gas or propane as your grilling fuel will bring your food to a new level. Happy cooking!

Some of the topics covered include:

14104DM00

Premier Brad Wall welcomed the World Trade Organization (WTO) compliance panel ruling in favour of Canada and urged the United States to end mandatory Country of Origin Labelling (COOL).

“The latest WTO ruling once again con-firms that the U.S. mandatory COOL rules unfairly discriminate against Canadian cat-tle and hog exports,” Wall said. “COOL is a protectionist measure

that hurts producers and negatively affects the entire supply chain on both sides of the border and it should be scrapped.”

COOL adds substan-tial costs to the inte-grated North American meat and livestock industry while provid-ing no meaningful ben-efit to consumers. COOL prevents U.S. processors from co-mingling U.S. beef and pork with meat from Canadian cattle and hogs resulting in the

need to segregate live-stock. Segregation adds higher costs for companies using live-stock born or raised outside of the U.S. along with additional costs for producers. Consumers are also impacted through higher meat prices.

“The ruling released is a positive step for Saskatchewan cattle and hog producers,” Wall said. “While the U.S. may appeal this decision, we strongly urge the U.S. Congress

to repeal COOL for beef and pork or make a legislative fix which would remove the arbi-trary and unjustifiable discrimination and damages against Canadian cattle and hogs that is in the cur-rent legislation.”

Saskatchewan sup-ports the federal gov-ernment in pursuing retaliatory tariffs if necessary.

COOL is an impor-tant issue for Saskatchewan produc-ers. Saskatche wan’s

cattle herd is the sec-ond largest in the coun-try at nearly 2.9 mil-lion head and the prov-ince’s producers supply feedlots and packers in

western Canada and the United States. In addition, Saskatche-wan markets around 2.1 million hogs every year.

COOL Ruling good for cattle farmers

Construction will continue into fall on Saskatchewan highways

Motorists should expect to see construc-tion crews out on Saskatchewan high-ways well into fall as more than 30 highway projects are currently underway.

“Mild fall conditions have allowed construc-tion projects to contin-ue later into the sea-son,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister

Nancy Heppner said. ”Crews will be hard at work until the ground freezes up. Remember to always slow to 60 km/hr in work zones so construction can be done safely.”

New projects under-way in the province this week include a $1.9 million landslide repair on Highway 2 at Buffalo Pound Lake and a

$330,000 culvert instal-lation on Highway 11 at Girvin. Both proj-ects may require traffic to be reduced to one lane at times and driv-ers should expect delays.

The weekly construc-tion update provides Saskatchewan resi-dents with the latest details on current proj-ects to help plan safe

and efficient travel throughout the sum-mer and fall. To learn more about Saskatchewan work zones, head to www.highways.gov.sk.ca/workzone/.

Prairie Debut Presents Fung-Chiu Piano Duo, One Piano/Four Hands

A “Stars For Saskatchewan”

performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, November 1 at 7:30 p.m.

in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton

Regional High School. With their unique pro-

gramming and captivat-ing stage presence, the

Fung-Chiu Duo (Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu)

has quickly become one of Canada’s premiere piano

duos. The complicity between the Fung-Chui

Duo simply has to be seen and heard to be believed.

They breathe new life into orchestral masterpieces through their extraordi-nary arrangements for one piano four hands,

where the 100 musicians of the orchestra become 20 fingers flying across

the keyboard. They have effortless rapport, not just

with one another, but with their enthralled

audiences. Fung and Chiu break down the “fourth wall” chatting with the

audience throughout the concert, telling stories and sharing insights…

and often answering a few questions about compos-ers, life on the road, and

most importantly, Montreal bagels. Tickets

are available at the Yorkton Arts Council,

306-783-8722, www.tick-etpro.ca or at the door.
