You want the course to be in the best shape possible, whether it’s for a person playing a round of golf or a person playing in a tourna- ment. We do ramp up, we hire extra help, or we try to cut a little more for the tournament, but we try to keep it the same, because it goes back to if you do it for the tournament, why can’t you do it all the time?” Getting ready for a tour- nament is a team effort, and Skaluba says that without a good team it wouldn’t be possible to get the course in the shape that it’s in or run the tour- nament at all. He says that Deer Park has been able to host events because the staff puts forth every effort to make Deer Park a course worthy of major events. He admits that getting ready for a major tournament can be a stressful and trying expe- rience, and thanks the staff for all the extra effort in the days leading up to the tournament. “The staff is the major component in this. I’m just one small end of it. The staff, they take pride in their jobs, they help out as much as they can, and that’s how it all comes together.” Skaluba has been impressed by the young golfers on the course, and says he expects big things of more than a few of them. “They’re just such tre- mendous hitters and tre- mendous strikers. It is supposed to be the up and coming golfers in Canada for ladies, so it wouldn’t be surprising if some are on the LPGA in years to come.

The best young female golfers in Canada were at Deer Park for the Canadian Junior Girl’s Golf Championship. But in order to host the best girls in the country, one needs to have a golf course that is worthy of the tal-ent on display. That task went to Leo Skaluba and his team.

Little Caesars is expanding, and Yorkton is at the top of the list for new locations. The business is looking at locations along Broadway, as well as a franchisee to open up in the city.
Roger Aube, director of operations/develop-ment at Little Caesars Canada says that Saskatchewan has been a strong performer for the restaurant chain over the past year, so they began looking at other markets where they could target. He says that the sales in Saskatchewan outper-form the national mar-ket, so expanding in the province is a priority.
“Yorkton came up clear in our research, being the third largest trading area in Saskatchewan after Saskatoon and Regina. When you look at the family oriented market and community focus, it was really in line with what we were looking
for. When we looked at where we wanted to grow, Yorkton came fast and clear as one of the markets that we wanted to get into.”
Broadway has been the main focus for their research, and Aube says that it makes sense as it is the central backbone of the city. Jim Jenkins, real estate manager at Little Caesars Canada says that it’s a matter of convenience, so they want to be in a location where people are going to do other things and quickly run to grab pizza as well. Stores tend to run 1,200-1,500 sq. ft., and he adds that they prefer places where they can work in a drive-thru.
“It goes amazingly with our concept, the drive-thru being hot and ready. I like to brag to my friends that I think we can be a lot faster than McDonalds or Tim Hortons,” Jenkins says.
The hot and ready concept, where pizza is ready to take out right away, is what Aube believes Little Caesars
brings to the market that others don’t. That’s also what drives what they’re looking for in real estate, as they find the most success when they’re convenient for consumers who are also doing other things.
“We don’t deliver, we’re not a delivery com-pany. Our niche is that carry-out demographic. Consumers are busy today, and a lot don’t have that 30-60 minutes to wait for a delivery option.”
Aube says they also want to be a part of the community, and hope to work with area schools when it comes to fund-raising opportunities or pizza events in their schools.
They want to get in the market as soon as possible. Aube says that a store can open within 5-8 months if the fran-chisee has a location.
Anyone interested in becoming the local fran-chisee is invited to visit www.littlecaesars.ca or call 888-822-7981 ext. 127 to talk to the fran-chise team.

PIES TO END MS – The staff of the west end A&W has been raising money to help end MS, and their reward for reaching $1,500 raised this summer was the chance to put cream pies into the face of management and supervisors. Pictured are Dakota Davies, Samantha Hoffman (restaurant manager), Britt Naphin, Anna Kozey, Julie Lawson and Stephanie Craig. The campaign continues until August 27, and if the total raised meets or exceeds $3,500, Hoffman will shave her head. August 27 will also see a dollar from every Teen Burger sold go to the MS Society. Nationally A&W has raised $634,242 this year, and the Cruisin’ to End MS campaign overall has raised over $6 million since beginning in 2008.
RENAISSANCE FAIR – Yorkton’s Paper Bag Players brought the past alive at the first annual Renaissance Fair, held on Rodney Ridge on August 8. The weekend included a play, Willabella Witch’s Last Spell, fortune tellers, sword fighting demon-strations, craft vendors, music and food. The plan for the group is to make the fair an annual event.

When a child has medical needs it is stressful enough for parents, any-thing that can help is going to be warmly embraced. The Ronald McDonald House has been in Saskatoon for thirty years, giving families a place to stay when they travel to the city for appointments and procedures. They are launching their first Red Shoe Walk across the province on September 13, to raise money to continue to grow and meet the needs of Saskatchewan families.
Kim Sandager, who is organizing the Red Shoe Walk in Yorkton, knows what a place like Ronald McDonald house can mean to a family who needs to travel for their childrens’ medical needs. Her son has various and complex needs, she explains, and her daughter was born with a cleft lip, so they have had to use it for a number of different needs.
“We will use it for any type of doc-tor’s appointment that he has, whether he has therapy appoint-ments or specialist appointments... The first year when Ian was a baby we had to go in 27 times, so it’s not just once in a while.”
She admits that they were ini-
tially reluctant to use Ronald McDonald House, reasoning that they could stay with friends, but after the recommendation of a nurse they decided to try it, and says it made it a lot easier to be with their son.
“We used it after one of his sur-geries when he was in the hospital for a week, and we thought it was the best thing ever... It has been a life saver, because my husband and I both try to be there, so we can switch off easier... We don’t like to leave Ian in the hospital without one of us there.”
For her family, the biggest differ-ence is accessibility. With a child in a wheelchair, she says that the acces-sible rooms make getting ready for appointments much easier for her family.
“He’s in a wheelchair, he’s over 60 lbs now... We need to stay some-where that’s accessible so we can minimize the lifts. Most people don’t have accessible houses, so it’s a life saver in that way too.”
It also lessens the financial bur-den, as the family only has to pay $10 a night in order to stay at the Ronald McDonald House.
Sandager believes support is nec-essary because the demand for the
services will continue to grow, espe-cially as the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital is built and more medical procedures will be possible within the province. In a rural area, travelling to get serious medical pro-cedures done is the norm, and she notes that surgeries are often early in the morning so families will always have to travel the day before.
“It’s something that benefits fami-lies no matter what. There are lots of services out there, but lots of those are for specific syndromes, specific diagnoses or income-based. Ronald McDonald House is if you need it, it’s here. We like to give back because we can.”
She emphasizes that it doesn’t matter if a kid has to go often or just for one procedure, as long as their needs fits the parameters they can stay. Whether a child has complex needs like her son or is going in for one appointment, she notes that both are welcome at the house, since it’s about supporting families going through these medical procedures.
The run itself will take place on September 13. To get involved visit www.skredshoewalk.com or volun-teer for the event by contacting Karen Linsley at [email protected] or call 306-244-5700 ext. 115.

Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show
FLOWER SHOW – The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society cele-brated the gifts of local gardeners with the annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show. Guests had the chance to see the best produce and flowers from local gardeners, as well as the opportunity to visit with neigh-bors and talk about how they grew what they did this year. There was also an exhibit on the city’s young gardeners, with local daycares and schools showing what they did in the classroom.

Like him or loathe him, Stephen Harper at least used to know how to run a campaign. He was polished, that was one of his main strengths as a politician, whatever he did was calculated and played to his strengths, that’s how he man-aged to become Prime Minister in the first place. All of this is in past tense, because on this cam-paign Harper seems to have lost a lot of that pol-ish.
The moves have been strange since the start, with the campaign itself being twice as long as usual. Whatever advantages it brings from a cam-paign finance perspective, it’s still starting your run off with an unpopular decision, and many vot-ers are not particularly fond of having either a lengthened election or a more expensive one. It’s not as though the campaign had not started any-way, but the increased use of taxpayer dollars to fund a lengthened campaign is something which is going to be unpopular, and that’s how we started the election season.
Creating a problem that doesn’t exist, and then solving that problem through doing nothing, that has been a weird tactic that the Conservative party has adopted recently. That’s how you get the invented tax on streaming video, or Netflix tax as Harper called it, which would be an incredibly
unpopular move if anyone attempted to pursue it. Which is why nobody has, it’s a tax invented by Harper before he promised he wouldn’t implement it, leaving people more confused about what he’s trying to pull than anything else. In other places such a tax does exist, Chicago specifically due to a tax on entertainment in general, but it had not entered the discussion in Canada until that video, which just forced people to confirm they had no intention of doing something they didn’t even con-sider in the first place. Other Conservative MPs also supported the non-move, including Canada’s most prominent yes-man Joe Oliver, as though it would become a smart play if they believed hard enough.
That’s weird, but it’s not outright hostile, which
has been the case in Harper’s inexplicable attacks on Rachel Notley, Premier of Alberta, and Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario. Both Premiers are from opposing parties, sure, and Wynne has been aggressively anti-Harper and is campaigning for Trudeau – though Notley has largely been trying to get Alberta’s house in order and has said she won’t be active in the campaign as a result. But to attack the provinces is a bizarre move, these are women that the eventually winner of the election will have to work with, in the case of Notley she was just elected and her mandate will be concur-rent with that of the winner of this election. Making an enemy of two provinces, both of which are economic drivers in the country, seems like a bad move both for a campaign and for doing the job. Yet, Harper is trying to do just that, much to the bafflement of observers.
Harper knows how to win an election, he has done it several times. Maybe I am wrong and these bizarre tactics will lead to success, that we will not know until October. But as the campaign begins, only one of the candidates has me scratch-ing my head, wondering what on earth he’s doing, and what he’s trying to accomplish. He seems to be in a different world, and his campaign moves are just strange as a result.

The province is in the midst of deciding exactly how liquor will be sold in Saskatchewan moving forward.
The province started the process launching a review of liquor sales last November. The public consultation concluded with the release of a report in February.
However, the government has not been in a particular hurry to respond to the report by effecting changes so far.
That may not be too surprising because while the system might indeed require a few tweaks, it has served the province rather well.
While government involvement in business has not always had a great track record, through the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority liquor sales have generated a pretty solid return for the province.
The network of provincial liquor board stores have actually been a win-win for the province. On the one hand they generate an ensured profit as the province supplies liquor to the outlets at a wholesale price lower than other vendors receive.
And at the same time good, steady jobs are created through the network.
Drive around the province and liquor board stores are some of the nicest buildings in town, and they do a good job of selling liquor.
Now not every town has a liquor board store, and even in towns that do, people want access to liquor in off hours.
That demand has been met through off-sales, traditionally the realm of hotels.
Again that has worked well, although ven-dors do lament that liquor board stores hold an unfair advantage based on their access to lower wholesale prices.
In that vendors have a legitimate gripe, although the system was designed to meet ‘off-hour’ demand, which would naturally tend to mean the consumer would pay higher costs based on convenience.
A bottle of pop and a chocolate bar costs more at a lake resort, or small town gas sta-tion than at a big box store. That is just a real-ity of things.
So while the current review should likely balance the wholesale price for vendors and liquor board stores, consumers are still going to pay more for off-sale in most locations.
Now some suggest the liquor board store should just go the way of wooden elevators, but to go that far is illogical since the system generates revenues and jobs.
Ultimately there is no good reason to focus on lower consumer pricing for a product which is completely a matter of choice, not need, to start with.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today released its top 15 policy wish list for the 2015 federal election.
“We believe these policies – some small, some big – are practical proposals that will help leave more money in the pockets of Canadians, give them better value for tax dollars spent and hold our politicians more accountable,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick “We encourage all parties to steal any and all of our proposals as part of their 2015 campaign.”
In no particular order:1. No pensions for politicians who steal: bring back Bill
C-518 as a government bill, ensuring Canadians are not on the hook for taxpayer-funded pensions for Senators and MPs convicted of serious crimes.
2. End tax-on-tax: ban the practice of charging GST/HST after other taxes have been already been applied to products (such as gasoline). This is a pure revenue grab which should have been eliminated long ago.
3. Post all MP and Senator expenses online with scanned receipts: sunlight is the best disinfectant. Politicians will tread carefully if they know their expenses will be made public.
4. Conduct a core review of government spending, with a goal of reducing overall spending: even adjusting for inflation and population growth, the federal government is spending near an all-time high. We need to be talking about how to reduce costs – not an ill-advised return to “stimulus”, deficits and more debt.
5. Expand the First Nations Financial Transparency Act to include compensation from regional or national associa-tions: the FNFTA has made compensation for First Nations politicians transparent. Expanding it to include regional and national association pay is the next logical step.
6. Pass a “truth in budgeting” law: requiring all legisla-tion to be costed by the Parliamentary Budget Officer would ensure both taxpayers and politicians know how much each new proposal will cost.
7. Reform public sector pensions: there is no getting around it, defined-benefit plans are expensive and unsustain-able in the long run. Government employees need to move over to defined-contribution (RRSP-style) pension plans.
8. End corporate welfare and shut down regional develop-ment agencies: corporate welfare is wasteful, unfair, eco-nomically distorting - a failed and cynical policy from top to bottom. Time to end this shameful practice.
9. Broad-based income tax cuts through lower rates and fewer brackets: boutique credits clutter up the tax code and single out favoured groups. Lower, flatter, simpler taxes are fairer and more efficient.
10. Pass legislation that would allow politicians to be recalled: Canadians should have the ability to pass judgment on their representatives more than once every four years, and in serious cases, recall them to face their constituents.
11. Implement a legislated debt repayment schedule: our $616 billion federal debt gobbles up $26 billion a year in inter-est payments alone. We need a legislated plan to pay it down – so we can use that money for priorities Canadians care about.
12. Referendum on abolishing the Senate: unelected and unaccountable – Canadians should finally have their say on the Red Chamber.
13. Improve and expand the Access to Information Act: many parts of government need to be brought under the act; information needs to be shared in more user-friendly ways; and our information commissioner needs the power and resources to pry information out of government hands.
14. Create a sunshine list of all federal government employees earning more than $100,000: most provinces already have them – we are long overdue for similar transpar-ency at the federal level.
15. Reform Employment Insurance: scrap the current plan that is unfair to both those who collect and those who pay. Replace the current system with personal EI Savings Accounts that keep contributions in the hands of Canadians.

To the Editor:
Since winning a major-ity in 2011, perhaps the most significant and irreversible decision by the Harper government was its lopsided invest-ment deal with China.
Among other con-cerns, the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA), rati-fied in 2014, is a license to be unfair to Canadians.
Imagine that your community opposes a Chinese investor’s pro-ject. The government sup-ports the investor. Your community manages to block the project after years of court battles. The Chinese investor then uses its new FIPA right to sue Canada for com-pensation.
Your community would have no right of stand-ing - meaning a full right to participate - in the FIPA arbitration. That would be so even if the Chinese investor’s FIPA lawsuit smeared people in the community, even if it ended in an award that affected its reputa-tion, or even if it led to a settlement in which the government agreed to change course and force the project through any-way.
Actually, your com-munity would not even have a right to know the Chinese investor’s law-suit existed.
That is Canada now, brought to you by the FIPA. Corporate lawyers, sitting as FIPA arbitra-tors, can make decisions that affect individual Canadians without ever hearing from them.
This lack of fairness is a basic flaw in foreign investor protection treat-ies like the FIPA. The treaties use the lopsided process of investor-state arbitration to decide dis-putes that affect third parties and the public. Yet they raise only foreign investors, not other pri-vate parties, to the level of sovereign countries in international disputes. Only the foreign investor that brings the claim and the national government of the country that is sued can have full standing.
This process contra-dicts a basic rule of fair-ness. The rule is captured in the common law by the maxim audi alteram partem, meaning the other side must be heard. It’s in Latin because it’s an old rule.
The risk of unfair-ness to Canadians under the FIPA is very real. Arbitrations under simi-
lar treaties clearly have affected parties other than foreign investors. Yet no one but the for-eign investor and the gov-ernment could seek full standing in the arbitra-tion. No one else had a legal right to access the record and to make full submissions, as a fair pro-cess must allow.
Tying the hands of others in this way may suit Chinese investors and the federal govern-ment. For example, it might make it cheaper and easier for them to resolve their dispute, at the expense of an unrep-resented party. But that should matter. Like in a court process, the process should allow all those who have an interest in the outcome to seek standing.
Promoters of investor-state arbitration some-times say that this unfair-ness was fixed by letting arbitrators give “friend of the court” status to par-ties other than the foreign investor and the federal government. The FIPA allows for this limited option, saying that arbi-trators “may accept writ-ten submissions” from a person or organization who “has a significant interest in the arbitra-tion” so long as the sub-
mission “does not disrupt the proceedings and that neither disputing party is unduly burdened or unfairly prejudiced by it.”
This response is clear-ly inadequate. If someone has a significant interest in the outcome of a FIPA arbitration, then he or she should be able to seek full standing to the extent of the interest. That is fair; the alternative - a possible opportunity to make a written submis-sion at the arbitrators’ discretion - is not.
It also should not mat-ter if a Canadian’s par-ticipation may “disrupt the proceedings,” as the FIPA says, or if it means a Chinese investor or the federal government is “unduly burdened.” These provisions in the FIPA are another way of saying the process is an exclusive system for foreign investors, at the expense of anyone else who is affected by the dispute.
When he sought his majority in 2011, Stephen Harper did not promise to accept an investment deal with China that is unfair to Canadians. But he did it anyway.

To the Editor:
Calls for a government-operated national drug insurance program have been getting louder over the past few months, culminating most recently with pre-miers from across the country signing a “prescription” for “National Drug Coverage.”
While there may indeed be legitimate concerns regarding the affordability of prescription drugs for cer-tain groups, the notion that a national government-run drug plan is the obvious solution is misguided.
Such calls are typically predicated on two false premises.
The first is that low-income individuals and vulner-able groups do not have coverage for prescription drugs. While there isn’t a uniform national drug plan for such groups, there are several individually tailored provin-cial plans. In fact, a recent review of provincial drug programs reveals that low-income and other vulnerable Canadians already have comprehensive prescription drug insurance coverage. While the levels of coverage vary by province, lower-income Canadians have access to at least catastrophic insurance for prescription drugs (limiting out-of-pocket costs to a small percentage of income), while those on social assistance have coverage at very low or zero cost.
In provinces where data indicates that certain groups of vulnerable Canadians may be slipping through the cracks, premiers should focus on identifying and sup-porting those individuals instead of passing the buck and calling for a national plan that subsidizes everyone, including those who don’t need financial support.
The second misconception is that Canada runs the only universal health-care system that does not also offer coverage for pharmaceuticals. While several countries with universal health-care systems do indeed provide coverage for pharmaceuticals through govern-ment-run programs (such as the United Kingdom and Australia), many others (such as Switzerland and the Netherlands) provide universal access for all health-care services (including pharmaceuticals) through pri-vate insurers. These countries require individuals to pay community-rated premiums, deductibles, and co-payments. Low-income citizens and those exposed to high drug costs receive premium discounts, cost-shar-ing exemptions, and access to other public safety nets.
Therefore, while it’s true that other universal health-care systems provide coverage for pharmaceuticals, not all of them provide such coverage through national gov-ernment-run insurance plans. Further, as mentioned previously, provincial governments in Canada already offer coverage for pharmaceuticals—but target such coverage toward individuals who need it most.
Finally, there is the tacit promise that a government-operated national drug insurance program will expand access to pharmaceuticals for all Canadians—without hitting their wallets. To begin with, research has shown that government drug plans in Canada gener-ally reimburse fewer and older drugs in comparison to private plans. If that’s any indication of what a national drug plan may look like, middle- and higher-income Canadians would likely be worse off in terms of choice. And the touted cost-savings to government from a national drug plan are based on optimistic assumptions about better bulk purchasing agreements and generic substitution, which may not hold true.
Without specifically identifying what a so-called national drug program will cover and cost, propon-ents are essentially asking for a blank cheque for an undefined product. Importantly, if lower-income Canadians are already covered by provincial plans, and middle- and higher-income Canadians can access private plans (or pay out of pocket), it begs the question: Who really benefits from the establishment of such a program?
It’s entirely possible that we may simply end up paying more money for fewer choices to primarily sub-sidize the drug consumption of people who don’t need subsidies.

To the Editor:
“Those who have time can vol-unteer on a campaign, those with a little money can donate and every-one should at least turn out to vote” said the Vice-Chief. “This election campaign is far too important to the future of the country and the future prosperity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit for people to be uninvolved.”
Vice-Chief Swain suggested that one issue people should examine is which party best reflects the best partner for Aboriginal people, say-ing “A commitment to the nation-to-nation relationship, respectful and meaningful dialogue about imple-menting treaties and section 35 rights and implementing recommen-dations from reports like the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples are signs that political par-ties have been listening.” He added, “When they talk about the issues, do they show an understanding of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples for example, or are they trying to steer Aboriginal people away from exer-cising their lawful rights? Those are the questions we must ask our-selves. And then we have to ask ourselves whether we can afford to let others decide who the partner is going to be on the other side of the negotiating table or if we will take control of our own future.”
“With over 1.4 million Aboriginal people in the country, the polit-ical power of an organized and unified voting block would not be
over-looked” said Vice-Chief Swain, pointing to CAP’s Find Your Voice campaign as one of many going on in the country to help Aboriginal people understand their rights and how to register to vote. “I’d dir-ect everyone young or old to www.capyouthvote.org for resources on the election. With the recent chan-ges to election laws, it’s essential that people are not denied the right exercise their vote” he said.
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is the national representa-tive organization advocating for the rights and interests of off-reserve non-Status and Status Indians, the Southern Inuit of Labrador and Métis Peoples.

The Department of Veterans Affairs, recent-ly issued the following statement for National Peacekeepers’ Day:
“On August 9, 1974, all nine Canadians on board a United Nations-marked Canadian mil-itary transport aircraft were killed when the plane was shot down during a resupply mis-sion in the Middle East. This was the largest
ever single-day loss of Canadian Armed Forces personnel during a peace support oper-ation. Each year on this anniversary, we pause to remember and hon-our all Canadians who served—and those who sacrificed their lives—to help restore peace throughout the world.
“These brave men and women—including mem-bers of the Canadian
Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, provincial and municipal police forces, as well as Canadian diplomats and civilians supporting peace oper-ations—have worked toward this greater good. However, peace is not always an easy ideal to secure. Many areas of the world experience instability and conflict that puts peacekeep-
ers in demanding and dangerous situations. Peacekeeping includes diplomatic, humani-tarian, stabilizing and enforcement respon-sibilities, often in harm’s way.
“ N a t i o n a l Peacekeepers’ Day was first commemorated on August 9, 2008, to bring greater awareness and appreciation to the more than 125,000 Canadian
peacekeepers who have participated in inter-national efforts over the past almost seven decades, and those who continue to serve in mis-sions around the world today. Approximately 130 Canadians have died in these efforts, and many more have suf-fered physical and men-tal injuries.
“Whether at the peacekeeping monu-
ment Reconciliation in Ottawa, at a community event in your hometown or online, let us take time to show gratitude for Canadian peace-keepers and the incred-ible work they have done and continue to do.”

G r o u n d b r e a k i n g Hyundai study in partner-ship with leading research company and carbon emis-sions researchers uncov-ers consumer attitudes toward hydrogen vehicles and positive long-term environmental impacts
MARKHAM, ON, Aug. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. (HACC) has uncov-ered a strong appetite among Canadians for hydrogen fuel cell electric and non-gasoline powered vehicles, showing that it is time for a change in the auto industry. The findings were obtained through a two-pronged research study in part-nership with Canadian research company Ipsos Reid and Offsetters, North America’s leading carbon management company. Both focused exclusively on the Canadian market.
The consumer insight survey revealed the major-ity of Canadians (75 per cent) would like to drive a vehicle not powered by gasoline – but they aren’t keen to turn to traditional battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with 71 per cent of those surveyed indicating that constantly having to charge a BEV is a pain and 67 per cent feeling they are too much of a hassle to drive.
This may indicate why 64 per cent demonstrat-ed an appetite to drive a vehicle powered by hydro-gen and 77 per cent believe hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles are the way of the
future.In January 2015,
Hyundai became the first automotive com-pany to offer hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles to the Canadian pub-lic. The Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) is available to Canadians on a 3-year lease in the Vancouver area. The Tucson FCEV takes less than 5 minutes to refuel and has an esti-mated range of over 420 km, eliminating the range anxiety and long recharge time of BEVs.
“Canadians have spoken. The appetite for hydrogen-powered vehicles is strong, and 80 percent of people agree that they would like the government to provide more support for the technology,” said Don Romano, President and CEO of Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. “Now that we have made fuel cell vehicles available to Canadians, the hydrogen refueling infrastructure must follow to support further expansion. It’s time for other automotive manufacturers, govern-ments, the hydrogen industry, and citizens to join us in this initiative to create a healthier environ-ment for the next genera-tion.”
Given that prices for gasoline have fluctuated wildly over the last year, eco-friendly vehicles might appear less relevant on the surface. But, the Ipsos Reid survey revealed that 74 per cent of Canadians
still see a major benefit in the fuel cell vehicles not being reliant on highly volatile fuel prices. More significantly, an even high-er proportion (82 per cent) thinks that producing no greenhouse gas emis-sions is a major benefit of fuel cell vehicles. In other words, a large portion of Canadian consumers also seem to be concerned with their vehicle’s tailpipe emissions.
In an effort to dem-onstrate the benefits of fuel cell technology in a Canadian environment, the company commissioned a broad environmental impact study conducted by Offsetters. Taking into con-sideration the emissions created during the produc-tion of hydrogen fuel, the study found that driving a Hyundai Tucson FCEV will result in 40 per cent less greenhouse gas emis-
sions compared to driving a comparable gasoline-powered vehicle on a well-to-wheel basis. The Tucson FCEV is also found to emit fewer air contaminants that result in smog and acid rain, demonstrating a direct benefit to air quality in densely populated cities.
“Together, these two studies provide conclusive evidence that Canadians are looking to the auto industry for another environmentally-friendly option,” added Romano. “A fuel cell powertrain pro-vides the range and ease of refueling Canadians are used to while producing only pure water vapour as exhaust. The Tucson Fuel Cell delivers on both; truly a win-win for customers and the environment.”
NOTE TO MEDIA: Hyundai will provide media with both studies upon request.
IPSOS REID: SURVEY METHODOLOGY
An Ipsos Reid poll was conducted between May 27 and June 1, 2015 on behalf of Hyundai. For this survey, 1,501 Canadians from Ipsos’ Canadian online panel were inter-viewed online. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/ - 2.9 percent-age points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadian adults been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample
surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.

Commercial farms are often blamed for the vast array of contaminants that find their way into water supplies and the soil itself. But home-gardening enthu-siasts may also be con-taminating water and soil through the use of pesti-cides.
Data from Green-NetWorld, an environ-mental advocacy group, indicates Americans use approximately 2.2 billion pounds of pesticides every year. Pesticide use is a pro-lific problem. More than
100 active pesticide ingre-dients are suspected of causing cancer, gene muta-tions and birth defects. In addition, a growing list of pesticides may disrupt the immune and endocrine sys-tems and have longterm impacts on infants and young children. Research indicates that many pests targeted by pesticides will eventually develop resis-tance to these pesticides, rendering the chemicals useless.
One way to reduce chem-ical pollution at home is to find alternatives to pesti-cides.
• Investigate reduced-risk pesticides. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is exam-
ining pesticides that pose less risk to humans and the environment than existing pesticides. Homeowners concerned about pesticides can visit www.epa.gov to learn more about reduced-risk pesticides.
• Use biopesticides. Biological products, also known as biopesticides, can play a role in a more sus-tainable food chain. These control agents include fungi, bacteria or viruses and can be applied like chemical pes-ticides but do not leave toxic residues. Furthermore, they are relatively inexpensive to produce.
• Look to the kitchen. Dish soap can be an effective pest killer. Fill a spray bottle with soapy water and spray
around the exterior of your house and on plants that have a pest problem. The soapy water can kill ants and roaches. It also can coat the wings of small flying insects. Catnip is another natural pesticide. Planting catnip in a garden can repel mosquitoes.
• Use epsom salt. Sprinkling this salt on the leaves of plants in the gar-den can keep away animals, such as deer or groundhogs, that would otherwise devour plants. Epsom salt also can repel beetles, slugs and snails.
Before homeowners turn to chemical pesticide appli-cations, they can explore many natural remedies to keep unwanted pests at bay.
Canadians believe hydrogen fuel cells way of the future
Homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens know just how prob-lematic weeds can be. Weeds can make otherwise well-manicured and thriving lawns and gardens appear unhealthy and ill-kempt. But homeowners don’t have to sit back and accept weeds as an inevitable byproduct of warm weather. The following are a handful of ways homeowners can handle weed growth so all their hard work is not masked by unwelcome weeds.
• Pull weeds after watering. It might seem odd to water weeds, but watering weeds can actually make it easier to pull them out so they never return. When you pull weeds from soggy soil, you can more easily pull weeds’ entire root sys-tem from the ground. That means you aren’t just pulling the stems and leaves, but the entire weed from the ground.
• Lay mulch. Mulch can benefit a garden in many ways, not the least of which is helping to prevent the growth of weeds. Mulch prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, helping to prevent the growth of weeds before they even appear to cause you headaches. In addi-tion, mulch helps soil retain moisture, which benefits plants as summer tem-
peratures rise.• Lay landscape fabric. Homeowners
who want to do more than mulch can lay landscape fabric in their gardens as well. Landscape fabric will work in much the same way as mulch, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and therefore preventing the weed seeds from germinating. When laying land-scape fabric, simply cut holes in the fabric where the plants will be, lay the fabric down and then cover the fabric with mulch.
• Plant strategically. How you plant also can help defeat weeds before they ever appear. Speak with your landscap-er or a local lawn and garden profession-al before planting, asking if it’s possible to plant particular plants close together to prevent weed growth. Plants that are planted in close proximity to one anoth-er will block sunlight from reaching the soil, which will make it more difficult for weed seeds to germinate.
Weeds are a formidable and unwel-come foe to homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens. But there are several ways to combat existing weed infestations and prevent their return in the future.

I’m sure everyone reading this is waiting for it to get dark enough to venture out under the stars for the Perseid meteor shower which is on as you read this (ok, a few of you). The shower peaked early this morn-ing, so it will taper off over the next few days. Find somewhere dark after 9:15ish; the more stars you can see, the more meteors you’ll see.
Anyone who happens to find themselves at the Cypress Hil ls Interprovincial Park between the 12th and 16th will have a chance to take in the shower under some of the clear-est, darkest skies in the country, and also rub shoulders with over 300 amateur and profession-al astronomers attend-ing the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party (SSSP). This annual August event, hosted by the Regina and Saskatoon Centres of
the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, draws amateur astronomers mainly from the western provinces but includes guests from across the country and the US.
At 1460 meters above sea level, the Cypress Hills are the highest ele-vation between the Rockies and Labrador; higher, in fact, than downtown Banff. The park is a Dark Sky Preserve; stray and excessive light is strictly controlled, making a part of the province already devoid of urban sky glow darker yet.
For the four nights of the star party, one of the
campgrounds becomes a sea of telescopes. Hundreds of astrono-mers spend the hours of darkness with their eyes on the night skies, and daylight hours attending seminars and lectures. Sleep is something they’ll do when back at work on Monday.
The SSSP is not for hard-core astronomers alone. The star party includes public educa-tional programs, day-time solar observing, guided star walks where astronomical objects are identified using lasers, and public viewing nights where attendees get a chance to check out
the heavens through a wide variety of tele-scopes. As well, Park interpreters and a local organization work together to run a public observatory throughout
the entire summer sea-son.
The SSSP is a great event if you get a chance, some year, to attend, but when it comes down to it, the Perseid shower
and Saturn’s rings are agreat sight from wher-ever you happen to be. One of the best things about the universe is that it’s just as big from your own back yard.
There’s a lot happening during play time. Little ones are lifting, dropping, looking, pouring, bouncing, hiding, building, and knocking down. Toddlers are just figuring out who they are. They like to play by themselves or with their parents and other trusted adults. When with other children, tod-dlers often like to watch and then copy what they see. They often play beside one another, but not usually together. This is a normal stage for toddlers, called “parallel play”.
Toddlers tend to define themselves by what belongs to them (my dad! my eyes! my toys! my teddy!). They are possessive and don’t share well. Once your toddler becomes comfortable with
who he is and what belongs to him, he can then begin to learn to share, take turns and be part of a group.
You can help your child by:Giving him the chance to be with
other children Sitting nearby on the floor when
toddlers are playing together so you can step in if needed
Teaching and modeling sharing and turn-taking
When your toddler has a chance to play with you, he learns that he isloved, important and fun to be around.
These social – emotional skills willgive him the self-confidence needed to build loving and supportive relation-ships all of his life!

The Bra LadyIs coming to Size You Up
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.
Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.
Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is co m ing to
YORKTON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26 AND THURS DAY, AUGUST 27
to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.
“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.
She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing
your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and
painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the
straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out
because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?
If you answer yes to any of these, you are in need of a new bra, and a custom Jeunique, Colesce, Nutrimetics one could be the way to go.

area, she is looking for someone to train for the business.

The Saskatchewan Archives Board today launched the second in a series of video exhibits com-memorating Saskatchewan’s involvement in the First World War. From the Prairies to the Trenches – From Salisbury Plain to Flanders Fields, November 1914 – December 1915 explores the events of 1915 at the Front and at home in Saskatchewan.
“100 years ago today, the people of Saskatchewan were fully engaged in the First World War,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Mark Docherty said. “This second video exhibit tells the next chapter in the conflict from both overseas and at home. Watching this series, we are learning about and hon-ouring those who fought in the war through the amaz-ing resource we have in our provincial archives.”
“Archives tell the his-tory of our province through the collective memory of its people,” Provincial Archivist Linda McIntyre said. “The stories and evidence discov-erable in newspapers, photo-graphs, diaries and official government records, reveal the many voices of those who experienced war at home and abroad.”
“The Archives is delighted to continue this video series exploring Saskatchewan’s involvement in the Great War,” archivist and project lead Curt Campbell said. “This video, along with the first installment released August 4 2014, the 100th Anniversary of the beginning of the war, follows the lives of several Saskatchewan resi-dents during the First World War. These glimpses into their lives provide a wonder-ful sense of immediacy for the viewer and help bring the history alive.”
The video exhibit high-lights the training of Saskatchewan volunteers of the First Canadian Contingent in Great Britain, their deployment to the Front in the spring of 1915 and their involvement in the battles of that year,
including The Second Battle of Ypres. The exhibit also describes the pressures of the war on the home front, in particular, the growing demand for women’s suf-frage which was intertwined with the province’s temper-ance movement. Members
of the public are invited to view the exhibit beginning today, August 6. Two video installation locations are available, in the main foyer at the Legislative Building and on the second floor of Government House.
The video can also be
viewed on the Archives’YouTube channel atwww.youtube.com/chan-nel /UCxk8HJl3F7WkYM0MR2KDfWg.

Balloon decorations can make any party more fes-tive. Inexpensive and easily accessible, balloons can add some lighthearted flare to any festive occasion. But helium-filled balloons released en masse at sporting events, parades, ribbon-cuttings, and other special occa-sions can be harmful to the environment.
While balloons can be beautiful to look at and awe-inspiring when ascending to the clouds, environ-mentalists warn that what goes up must come down. Fragments of latex balloons and ribbon have been found by scientists conducting autopsies on birds and marine animals. Balloons can be particularly dangerous to the endangered leatherback sea turtle, which can mistake a balloon in the water for a jellyfish — its most prized del-icacy. Once balloons have been consumed by animals, they can contribute to blockages that prevent proper digestion. Whales, dolphins and fish also are at risk.
According to the environmental organization BalloonsBlow.org, every released balloon behaves dif-ferently. All latex balloons, even those that are natural rubber and biodegradeable, will fall to the ground as lit-ter, and it can take years for balloon bits to decompose.
There are many other earth-friendly alternatives to balloon releases. Luminaries, garden spinners, ribbon dancers, streamers, dancing inflatables, and floating flowers are just some of the less harmful ways to engage party-goers. For those who still desire the release of something into the air, blowing bubbles remains an easy and harmless way to have spheres coast into the sky.
Those who prefer to decorate with balloons are encouraged not to release them in large groups. Hand-tied latex balloons with raffia strings are safer than balloons secured with plastic rings and ribbon.
