ROAD CLOSURE LENGTHENED – It’s an inconvenience for many, however it’s a necessary project and one that will take a little longer than expected the city reports.

It was another suc-cessful event for The Health Foundation, raising over $30,000 to go towards improving health care both in Yorkton and the region. With 227 participants taking part, this year’s annual Charity Road Race, held August 17, raised $30,359. “We were pleased to have a great turn-out, and to see the runners raise so much money,” says Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the foundation. “This year 22 runners raised over $300. All of the funds will be used to purchase equipment for the new integrated pri-mary care clinic that is being built and is sched-uled to open at the end of September.” The Charity Road Race has several goals each year: • To provide an opportunity for people to learn to run by put-ting on free running clinics from May to August; • to hold a fun and well organized Charity Road Race that every-one from the beginning runner to the competi-tive runner can partici-pate in; and, • to raise funds for the purchase of medical equipment that will provide an improved or new service to the resi-dents of this region. The top five fundrais-ers this year were: the Watrych family, $2,045; Adele Pask, $1,710; Shelley Kramer, $1,580;
Dennis Fuchs, $1,360; and Tracy Newton, $1,350.

You might be from Saskatchewan if... If you have an ending for that statement chances are you’ll get a chuckle out of a new book boasting the same title that’s now on store shelves. This is the second vol-ume released with hopes of a third for the future. Authors Carson Demmans and Jason Sylvestre say the book was a pleasure to put together. Comprised of a collec-tion of captioned cartoons readers are promised a laugh as Demmans and Sylvestre demonstrate what makes everyone love and laugh about life on the Saskatchewan prairies. Both authors hail from the province. Demmans is a lawyer by day and a pro-fessional humour writer by night. He has been writing humor on a profes-sional basis for 20 years, mainly gags for cartoons, comic strips and comic books. He currently lives in Regina with his wife, two daughters, two cats and two dogs.
Sylvestre is a self taught cartoonist who has been drawing comic books and cartoons since the age of 13. He both self publishes as well as works as a free-lancer for several American publishers. His Auntie – Vicky Winnitowy – lives in Yorkton and he calls Regina home. The first book, says Demmans was inspired by the landscape he drove through every day while commuting from Saskatoon to Prince Albert in 2008. “I decided that there had to be a humor project that I could base on the weird wonderful place we call Saskatchewan. I wrote the first 58 pages in one night.” The second book was based on popular demand. “People kept coming up to Jason and I and asked when the second one was coming out.” Both writers say they had a ball putting the works together – especial-ly the second project. “The second book was a lot more fun the first book and I think it is actually better than the first one,” sys Demmans.
“Some people react extremely emotionally to the contents of two books, from debating who was funnier, Nestor Pistor or Metro, to recounting true stories of being sprayed by skunks, to recounting their favorite plays by Lancaster and Reed. The books contain a lot of my personal memories and family history, so I can relate to the reactions of readers. I think everyone in Saskatchewan has a lot of common experiences.” The authors guarantee a good laugh. They say readers can expect to catch a glimpse of themselves or people they know on many of the pages. “This isn’t fantasy; it’s real life and that’s what makes it funny.” Demmans and Sylvestre are now working on two new books due out next year. The first is called Strange Saskatchewan Stories, a collection of strange but true cartoons similar to the classic Ripley’s cartoons but all based in this province. The other is called The Saskatchewan Book of Riddles and it’s a collec-
tion of riddles illustrated through cartoons all with a Saskatchewan theme. They also hope for a third volume of You Might be from Saskatchewan. “If there is enough demand for it we will defi-nitely do a third...” For anyone with ideas or thoughts, the authors would love to hear from you. They have a Facebook fan page, they can also fol-low Sylvestre on twitter @jasonofnyc. “I would like to thank our fans, for their support. Because of them the first book has been the top sell-ing trade paperback in the province for the last two years straight. I think that says a lot for how people feel about the book. We are looking forward to entertaining them a sec-ond time around with this book,” concludes Sylvestre. You Might be from Saskatchewan if... Volume Two is available at: Walmart, Chapters, Coles Indigo, Costco, Mcnally Robson and online at ama-zon.ca, as well as other sites.
LEST WE FORGET – Between 1914 and 1920, thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian and Eastern European descent were imprisoned in internment camps across Canada, simply on the basis of their origins. For decades, their stories were bur-ied under fear and shame. The Canadian government now recog-nizes the internment operations however for many, it remains an unknown chapter in our nation’s his-tory. In light of that fact, on Friday Yorkton joined many across the country to remember. One hundred years later – a wave of remem-brance, hallowing all victims of Canada’s first national internment operations took place. To com-memorate, one hundred plaques – two in Yorkton – were unveiled across Canada at 11 a.m. in par-ish halls, cultural centres, muse-ums, and archives associated with the Ukrainian, German, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian and Armenian communities. PIctured at left, is an unveiling ceremony held at St. Mary’s Church.

For once, a sound, sen-sible political decision, based not on race or reli-gious “rights” but safety and equality has been made. The province of Ontario has announced it will not be allowing turban-wear-ing Sikhs to ride a motor-cycle without wearing a helmet. I say GOOD. It’s not about being racist or denying one’s right to practice their own beliefs, it’s about residing in Canada and living as Canadians do. I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again, black, brown, white, Scottish, English, Native American, it matters not. We are ALL CANADIAN and we should all live by the same rules as well as be afforded the same oppor-tunities. Ontario’s Premier, Kathleen Wynne says she struggled with her recent decision, having to weigh the balance between public safety and reli-gious accommodation but that after careful delib-eration it was determined there was a road safety risk for an individual not wearing a helmet. No kidding. Do you think there would have been a big deliberation if I plead my case that I didn’t feel I should have to wear a helmet? Nope, there cer-tainly would not.
“Ultimately, the safety of Ontarians is my utmost priority, and I cannot jus-tify setting that concern aside on this issue.” And nor should she. The mandatory helmet law – which many begrudgingly follow – was put in place to save lives. Since its inception mortality rates due to head injuries have report-
edly dropped by 75 per cent. That not only means lives are being saved, but health care expenses are also. Will a turban save you in dangerous bike crash? Not likely. Not surprisingly, the premier is taking plenty of flack. British Columbia and Manitoba have both exempted turban wearers from the helmet law, saying it’s a religious right and a part of a person’s very being. Maybe that is so, but I fully support Wynne in her decision and think that “when in Canada” we should do as Canadians. It won’t be the end of the discussion and no doubt the same deliberations will take place in this province some day down the road. When they do, I hope government considers we are all Canadian and should be treated as such. A law is a law and it should be so for all, not just a chosen bunch.

The way I see it...
The federal government is attempting to close the retail price gap between the US and Canada. It’s a noble goal, one that I can get behind in theory, since I don’t like the way companies will add an arbitrary amount of money onto Canadian products. Electronics in particular are bad for this, with Sony’s Playstation 4 being $50 more in Canada seemingly only because they found a way to charge extra money. The problem with any such plan is that it’s basically impossible to imple-ment. There are loopholes here, giant loopholes which it is impossible to really fill. The first loophole is relatively simple, Canadian products would be slightly different than American products, enough to make it very diffi-cult to actually compare the two. Even without incen-tive to do so, companies will already vary what each country gets based on things like buying patterns. With some big ticket items like cars, Canadian and US versions are different because of different regulations in each country, mandating some alterations just because, for example, Canadian bumper standards are more strict. There’s enough potential for variation that increased costs, on some level, could be justified and rolled into the price. Sony’s blatant PS4 price gouging can be justified if they throw in a cheap bonus, in essence.
Then you’ve got the general supply chain justifica-tions. If I were to buy an apple in a store in Yorkton, it would cost significantly cheaper than an apple pur-chased in Yellowknife. That’s an extreme example, given that Yellowknife is remote, but Canada is a place that has some people but a great deal of land. This means that shipping costs are going to be high here, that’s an inevitability, but it also means that shipping costs can justify price variation within Canada, let alone in comparison to products south of the border. Gas varies from town to town, after all, as does the price of basically anything you can name. Smaller places have to price higher just because of economies of
scale. Then we have the standard problem of how on earth you’re going to regulate this. There are naturally going to be some obvious examples, I said one in the opening paragraph in fact, but there will also be a lot of ways that companies will fight the law, and people will have to pore over the minutiae of shipping and suppliers in order to see if there’s really a justified reason for the extra cost. All of these people will have to be paid, all of their pay will come from taxes since this is a federal agency. So we’re going to be paying for the difference anyway. The trick is with Canadian citizens frankly, vote with your wallet. If companies can charge more for things, so don’t let them. This is easier with some things than other, but essentials like food are going to be varied from place to place anyway. Non-essentials like electronics or entertainment products are tempt-ing, but if you don’t think the price is right, the money can stay in your wallet. That way, it becomes increas-ingly difficult for companies to justify adding a Canada tax to items just because they can. I’m not someone who thinks that the free market can solve all things, but consumer goods are driven by what people are will-ing to actually pay for things. Don’t pay for things if you think they’re more expensive than they’re worth.

That time of year is upon us so with that in mind drivers should be aware and pre-pared. Another school year is set to begin, that means school buses, children walk-ing and crossing streets and the need to SLOW down. The Canada Safety Council reminds residents as school doors open, traffic gets a little heavier on streets. People are back from holidays, school buses are on regular routes, and more people are walk-ing, cycling or driving to school. There are ways you can help to transi-tion into changes smoothly and safely. • Observe School Zone Speeds. Although you should always obey posted speed lim-its, it is especially important during the school year. Children crossing the road on their way to and from school can easily get distracted and step into harm’s way. Slowing down and being vigilant is cru-cial to keeping kids safe. Children are often out throughout the day at recess, lunch, and for certain classes, so it’s important to drive slowly throughout the day. • Obey the Crossing Guards. A crossing guard is there to keep children safe. If you come up to a set of lights, and the light turns green, but the crossing guard still says stop, follow his/her direction and not the traffic light. There might be a child still crossing the street that you can’t see. • Watch for Darting Children. Kids are small and easily distracted, and for driv-ers, this can create dangerous situations on the roads. Be vigilant and alert behind the wheel. You never know when a small child might step out from between parked cars or off a sidewalk. Your fast reflexes might be needed to prevent an accident. • School Buses. Most mishaps take place outside the bus. Make sure children don’t arrive too early at the bus stop where they can wander or get into mischief. Make sure they wait well away from the road and stay back until the school bus makes a full stop and the doors open. When driving your car near a school bus note that extra caution is needed. You shouldn’t pass a school bus when the sig-nal lights are flashing and drive slowly as a general precaution. The start of the school year marks a time for new beginnings, the making of friends and an opportunity for learning. Let’s do our part to get everyone off to a safe and fulfilling year.

Imagine if the front page story on the London Guardian, the New York Times and Pravda in Mos-cow was the same as the Winnipeg Free Press was last Monday. What would people around the world think of Canada if they saw pictures of a 15-year-old aboriginal girl and a middle-aged aboriginal man who had both been found dead in a river on the same day? It is not an image that the federal government and Canadians in general want the world to see. Unfortunately, those front page stories might be the only way that First Nations will convince the federal government to hold a public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women in Can-ada. Thousands of people (not “hundreds” as re-ported in the mainstream media) red, white, yellow and black, gathered at the Oodena at the Forks on Tuesday, August 19 to mourn and pay tribute to Faron Hall, a home-less aboriginal man who fell victim to an environ-ment he had rescued two other human beings from in the past, and Tina Fontaine, whose teenage body was found concealed in a garbage bag. Those thousands of people will demand the federal gov-
ernment employ the only device the majority of Ca-nadians feel will lead to a full understanding of why 1,200 aboriginal women have gone missing or murdered since 1980 and find ways to address this tragic situation. But repeated requests for a public inquiry have been denied again and again. Since this issue involves a specifically identified race of people, it can be considered a case of civil rights, and we only need look south of the border to find out how to get a federal government to do what people want it to. Back in the early 1960s, black people in the United States were being victimized by poverty and murder. Despite marches like we saw in Winnipeg, blacks did not have an ally in the federal government because the Kennedy brothers, John and Rob-ert, were more interested in being global statesman and dealing with things like the cold war. It was only when their efforts were undermined by foreign leaders hold-ing up headlines of free-dom riders being beaten while their bus burned, the skin of teenage black kids being torn off by water hoses, and black people marching under the simple slogan “I am a
man” that the Kennedy’s realized their credibility as world leaders depend-ed on how they took care of their own citizens at home. The fodder for detrac-tors continues today as Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Russia and China, as well as Amnesty Interna-tional, have been quick to reprimand the United States for what is hap-pening in Ferguson, Mis-souri where a white police officer killed an unarmed black teenager. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Af-fairs Minister John Baird have been highly outspo-ken on the world stage about the crises in Israel and Ukraine. The weight of their words goes up and down with the level of Canada’s image abroad. Harper wants to be taken seriously when he talks about human rights but that becomes a lot more difficult when Russia and Hamas can point to prob-lems in Canada like the murder of over a thou-sand indigenous women and the third-world con-ditions that First Nations live in. Justice Minister Pe-ter McKay has already responded to this latest incident by repeating the federal government’s po-sition. No public inquiry. If First Nations leaders
can’t get what they want despite the support of a majority of other Canadi-ans (according to most re-cent polls), then they will be forced to direct their efforts toward the world stage where they seem to receive a more favourable reaction.
In 1961, when video of lynchings and black peo-ple being beaten down in the streets was being broadcast worldwide, the Kennedy brothers re-sponded. Here in Canada, Indians had just been given the right to vote, but they needed a pass to leave their reserves and many were forced into residential schools where the history of abuse has just recently been fully exposed. Canada was able to keep the treatment of First Na-tions people away from the global spotlight back then but if we want to be taken seriously now, this country must deal with tragedies like the situa-tion of missing and mur-dered aboriginal women. “There continues to be little to no projects or pol-icies to engage this issue. It continues to be ignored by authorities,” said march organizer Niigaan Sinclair. “It has to stop.”

To the Editor:
Pope Francis’s remarks on poverty, in-equality and capitalism – most recently at his open air mass in Seoul – don’t sit well with many conservatives and right-leaning libertarians. The Pope’s remarks include criticism of growing economic inequality and a call to “hear the voice of the poor.” Among those who take issue with the Pope’s statement is Keith Farrell, a Stu-dents For Liberty campus coordinator at the University of Connecticut (“Why the Pope is Wrong on Inequality,” City A.M., Aug. 21). He accuses the Pope of “scape-goating world poverty on the wealthy” and credits Marx with first coming up with the idea “that the success of some hurts others economically and that the rich have only gotten rich at the expense of the poor.” Farrell quotes a South Ko-rean: “If someone has made a fortune for himself, fair and square, and has a lot of money, I don’t think that’s something to be condemned.” An interesting hypothetical, but just how much of the economic elite’s grow-ing concentration of wealth actually was made “fair and square?” Throughout his op-ed, Farrell implicitly equates the sys-tem we live under now with “economic freedom” and “free enterprise.” But that’s an example of what I call “vulgar libertarianism,” defending actually ex-isting corporate capitalism as though it were a free market, and using “free en-terprise” rhetoric to defend wealth and economic power which corporate capi-talists have actually amassed through an overwhelmingly statist system of power. Marx was hardly the first to figure out that in a class society, ruled by a class state, the rich get rich at the expense of the poor. It probably dawned on some Sumerian or Chinese peasant busting his hump with a hoe trying to produce enough to live on after paying rent to a temple priesthood. And plenty of radical free market thinkers – Thomas Hodg-skin, Benjamin Tucker, Franz Oppen-heimer – have drawn the same conclu-sion more recently. The capitalist system we live under today is the lineal heir to the state-enforced class systems of thou-sands of years ago. “Free markets,” far from structurally defining capitalism, are permitted to op-erate on its margins only to the extent that they’re compatible with the proper-tied interests controlling the state. Even in the supposedly “laissez-faire” nine-teenth century, “free enterprise” was a superstructure erected on a foundation of centuries of massive robbery – the en-closure of land and dispossession of the peasantry, first in the industrializing West and then the colonial world, mas-sive restrictions on the free movement and association of working people in industrial Britain, slave labor and the seizure of global mineral wealth. Today many of the fruits of that robbery, like absentee titles to vacant land and corpo-rate ownership of Third World natural resources, and a monopoly on the supply of credit and the medium of exchange by the owners of stolen wealth, are still le-gally enforced.

Why the pope is less wrong
A black eye for Canada
To the Editor: Next month, university students will cough up money for tuition, textbooks, residence, and addi-tional fees. Student fees, which in-clude transit passes and health and dental insurance, range from $500 to $1000 a year at Canadian uni-versities, of which approximately $100-$200 goes directly to student unions. Student unions have many re-sponsibilities, including admin-istering health plans, funding student clubs, and advocating on behalf of students to the university administration and different levels of government. Unfortunately, many student unions are leveraging a passive majority of students to advance the agenda of a fringe minority. They are spending their levy fees to fund controversial activities and political causes unrelated to post-secondary education. For example, student unions in Ontario fund the Ontario Public Interest Research Group, which supports Israeli Apartheid Week, along with other proposals guided by the principles of anti-oppression, anti-capitalism and decolonisation. Thousands of dollars could be redi-
rected from political causes to im-proving services such as student food banks or bursaries for low-in-come students. As a result of such activity, some might suggest that student unions are more appropriately considered clubs for student activists than or-ganizations that represent their entire student bodies. Complaints about unfair student election prac-tices and fi nancial mismanagement are not diffi cult to come across. For instance, Concordia’s Student Union was criticized for conduct-ing a vote to strike using a show of hands, and the Kwantlen Student Association made high-risk loans and undocumented payments in the hundreds of thousands of dol-lars. While students should have ac-cess to some of the services cur-rently provided by their unions, students who want to attend tax-payer-funded universities shouldn’t be required to give money to groups that support political causes they do not believe in or to other students that they believe will mismanage their money. Some may say the solution to these problems is to address stu-dent apathy and ensure that stu-dents keep their representatives
accountable by being more in-volved, with student election voter turnouts typically around 10 to 15 percent. Addressing student apathy may be easier said than done, as the vast majority of students are focused on completing their education, cover-ing their expenses, and keeping other commitments. There is limited time for them to devote to holding their fellow students accountable. While these excuses do not legitimize student apathy, it does raise the question of whether students believe their unions are relevant to them or play an important role in student life. Even when student unions are not funding political causes using compulsory student fees, their deci-sions can be needlessly polarizing. Consider that the Carleton Univer-sity Students’ Association dropped a cystic fi brosis charity as the bene-fi ciary of one of its fundraising cam-paigns, because the student repre-sentatives erroneously understood it as only a white man’s disease. Unlike their student union, most students recognized that cystic fi -brosis does not discriminate based on gender or race.

Seminar brought together child amputees from Sas-katchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. Junior Counsellors are representatives of the As-sociation and role mod-els for younger Champs as they too grow up in CHAMP. I am able to help out with the seminar dur-ing the many sessions, and talk to the parents of new child amputees.
Having been a Junior Counsellor for almost fi ve years now, I fi nd the role to be benefi cial to me as well. It gives me an opportunity to inspire young Champs, much like the Junior Counsellors I looked up to when I was a newer amputee. I remem-ber being so relieved to see that someone who had an amputation similar to my own was still able to lead
a successful and complete life, and now I can give back by doing this for oth-ers. As someone who has benefi ted, I would like to thank all of you who sup-port The War Amps Key Tag Service, which has made these programs pos-sible for young amputees like me.

Wok cooking is obvi-ously very popular for Asian dishes, but it can also be used for a wide variety of recipes. One may wonder what makes a wok different from an ordinary pan, and how do I choose the best one? Just like standard pots and pans, there are just as many different woks on the market to choose from. The recog-nizable shape of the wok is known worldwide, and this unique shape serves an important purpose. The inner cook-ing surface, mainly up the sides, should not be smooth. Having rough and/or a slightly uneven surface helps to hold cooked food while the sauce is finished, or other ingredients are
being cooked, in the cen-ter of the pan. Classic original woks are made out of carbon steel and hammered out by hand, and the residual inden-tations serve as the per-fect surface to assist in doing this. The round bottoms of the wok also aid in deep frying because it takes less oil to create a deep environment than a reg-ular pot or pan. If you have an electric stove, you may choose to pur-chase a flat-bottomed wok, but even better would be to purchase a metal wok ring that sits over your electric burner and cradles a round bot-tom. Unless you’re always cooking for just one or two people, you will get more value out of a larg-
er wok than a smaller one, so buy one slightly larger than you may first think. A larger wok will help to keep the food contained more eas-ily and can be used for both small dinners as well as large. The other thing to consider, before making your purchase however, would be to ensure that you have ample storage for your new wok. Overhead pot racks are especially handy for this predica-ment. I don’t find that non-stick or electric woks are the best option. Non stick coatings are almost always smooth, there are health concerns about emitting gases from non-stick coatings over high heat, and they don’t last as long as they should. Electric woks, I find, don’t heat up enough. For traditional high heat wok cooking, one needs to be aware that many pots and pans on the market will also warp over high heat. Make sure you read the manufacturers use rec-ommendations before purchasing to be certain. This being said, one should take care to never submerse any hot pan into water for the same reason. Although it may be difficult to find one that is hammered out by hand, I do recommend buying a carbon steel wok and seasoning it to create a natural non-stick surface over time. They may not be as pretty to look at, but usually are of the least expensive options. They heat up very well, and will last you a lifetime if
taken care of properly. Always hand wash only (no scouring pads as they will remove the seasoned surface) and dry thoroughly to pre-vent rusting. The down-side of a thin carbon steel wok is that they also lose their heat very quickly as well. If you insist on buying a non-stick wok, there are cast aluminum options that are non-stick and designed to resist warp-ing. Accessories that you may consider purchas-ing for your wok would be a lid, curved bottom utensils, bamboo steam-ers, hand held wire strainer, and a bamboo scrubber for cleaning. To season your new car-bon steel wok, wash with soap and a scrub brush, dry thoroughly, and place the wok over high heat. When it is very hot and the steel has changed colour, turn the heat to medium-low, add a tablespoon of oil, and use a compacted paper towel held with tongs to coat the entire cooking surface with the oil. Let it sit on the medium low heat for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the wok to cool and repeat as many as three times. This “seasoning” process is only meant for carbon steel woks, not stainless steel or other types of
woks.
Dear Chef Dez: I am a very busy mom/wife and need some fast meal options. Any sug-gestions?
Diane W.Abbotsford, BC
Dear Diane,
A great meal solution may be to try wok cook-ing. It is very fast because of the high heat used and if using a large enough size, dinners can mostly be a one pan meal chocked full of
nutritious vegetables. Take a cooking class or watch on-line videos if you are unfamiliar with all the applications of using a wok in the kitch-en and also to learn some great nutritious recipes.

“We believe this will serve as an ideal opportunity to increase awareness and the need for peace in our homes, our community, our nation and around the world. “Certainly it’s always in the back of our minds what is going on globally... we’re confronted with it daily, 24/7... we can’t solve those problems as an organization here but what we can do is look at raising the aware-ness in our own communities and in our own lives... Where peace actually starts is from within, so by trying to live more peaceful lives ourselves, it will spread to our families, our communities and so on... “Directly can we solve crises and wars around the world? No, but we can do our part to make where we live a little more peaceful.” There has been violence in the world since humans have existed says Crossman. “Humans are the most unpredictable species there is... we need more dia-logue... wherever there is a difference of opinion and there isn’t the will to talk about our commonality as humans, there is the potential for violence...” The inaugural community activity of the Peace Association has been slated for September 21 in the form of a “Peace Walk.” “It’s not a long walk, it’s very short, but we want to encourage people to engage in a conversation along the walk about what peace means to them and from that, gather some ideas...” The goal is to gather input and to create an atmo-sphere conducive to open discussion. “We’re hoping to gather a lot of great ideas...” The walk takes place at the Western Development Museum beginning at 1:30 p.m. “Anyone of any mobility is very welcome.” People are also welcome to bring along their own symbols of peace to either carry along, display and/or discuss. Those who are interested in taking ideas further fol-lowing the walk, are welcome to get more involved. While there is no set growth plan for the group Crossman says there is room for more people regardless if they want to become a member or maybe just volun-teer. If you can build a website, or have any other idea of how you might help out your input is welcome. Crossman says he is also open to working with schools or any other local organizations interested in the same goals. “In an ideal world, we would like to see that there would be a culture of peace on earth, so what we’re trying to do is embrace people in a dialogue of understanding... we want to promote peaceful and non-violent ways of living...” Anyone wanting to learn more or get involved can do so by calling Crossman at 1-306-782-3249 or email: liv-ing [email protected]

Corporate capitalism today depends on even more statism – “intel-lectual property,” regu-latory cartels and other entry barriers, and mas-sive direct subsidies in such forms as the Mili-tary-Industrial Complex and the civil aviation and Interstate Highway systems. It’s true, as Farrell says, that standards of living have increased in absolute terms despite the rise in inequality – true as far as it goes. But the advantages of technological progress are governed by the same targeted pricing that governs all monopo-lies: Giant corporations
use patent monopolies to enclose technologi-cal progress and let just enough of the benefits of increased productiv-ity trickle down to the working classes to make it worthwhile for them to keep buying, while appropriating the rest as monopoly rents for themselves. Farrell’s statement that “capitalism has brought freedom and abundance” to South Ko-rea bears similar look-ing into. South Korean capitalism was built on the foundation of US military occupation and a military regime in-stalled by the occupa-tion authority, which subsequently liquidated the quasi-anarchist so-
ciety of self-governing village communes and self-managed factories that had emerged after the Japanese pullout in 1945. This regime put anarchists and leftists of all kinds in mass graves, and during its decades in power wasn’t exactly friendly to the “economic freedom” of – say – Kore-
an workers who wanted to unionize. Interestingly, Farrell shares one erroneous assumption with Pope Francis: That reducing inequality requires gov-ernment “redistribution of wealth.” They’re both wrong. What we have now amounts to an up-ward redistribution of
wealth, with “taxes” on the producing classes in the form of the state-enforced monopoly rents we pay to landlords and capitalists. We don’t need state intervention to redistribute wealth downward. We need revolution to stop the state from redistributing wealth upward.
It’s time for free mar-keters to stop acting as hired prize-fighters for the present system of power, and start us-ing free market ideas to defend actual economic justice.

Similarly, the Student Federation of the Univer-sity of Ottawa voted against a motion to stream the 2014 Olympics on campus because they thought it would validate the controversial anti-gay legisla-tion in Russia. Most students felt that support-ing Canadian athletes living their dreams did not translate into support for Russia’s domestic politics. On the other hand, at the same meeting, a motion was adopted to see higher quality toi-let paper purchased for students. Some students might consider the issues focused on by student unions as too trivial and not focused enough on the big picture. Voluntary student unionism can separate the role of providing student services from the role of student advocacy, which are currently both per-formed by student unions in Canada. Student advocacy is an inherent role of a student union, but rather than imposing political stances on stu-dents, student unions will need to work harder and actively listen to the needs and interests of all student constituencies if they wish to succeed.

CASSAN NAMED CANADA WEST HEAD COACH - August has been busy for Trent Cassan as after becoming general manager of theTerriers with a new deal the Yorkton head coach was named Canada West’s bench boss at the World Junior A Challenge.
By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer
August has been a month in which Yorkton Terriers head coach Trent Cassan’s life has gotten signifi cant-ly busier for the 2014/15 Junior A hockey season. Already becoming the Ter-riers general manager last week after signing a two year deal with the team, Cassan has been named the head coach of Canada West at the 2014 World Junior A Challenge taking place in Saskatchewan as Kinders-ley will be hosting the an-nual tournament. In 2013 Cassan was an assistant on the team, but now he will be the head coach of a staff that fea-tures some of the brightest coaches in Junior A hockey out in Western Canada. Cassan along with Assis-tant Coaches Tim Fragle (Sherwood Park Crusaders, AJHL), Luke Pierce (Mer-rit Centennials, BCHL) & Jason Williamson (Vernon Vipers, BCHL) were an-nounced by the Canadian Junior Hockey league & Hockey Canada earlier this week as the Canada West
coaching staff. Getting an opportunity to work with Hockey Canada’s Junior A coaching staff for the sec-ond straight year, Cassan appeared on GX94’s weekly Terriers Coach’s Show and mentioned he was thankful for the chance to continue to work with the national program. “It’s a very exciting op-portunity and I’m very thankful for the CJHL and Hockey Canada for giving me the chance and also the Terriers for allowing me to take time away from our hockey club to take in this very good experience and the chance to work some of the best coaches and play-ers in Western Canada,” Cassan told GX94’s Benny Walchuk. Cassan will have some fa-miliarity with his coaching staff as Jason Williamson coached against the Ter-riers at the RBC Cup with the host Vernon Vipers, mentioning that while the two were both competing for the National Championship this spring they did talk and will know each other going into coaching Canada West as a coaching staff.
“I know Jason (William-son) from the RBC Cup with the Vipers and I know that it is different when you are competing against each other but when you are at a tournament for nearly two weeks you get to talking to each other at some point so I know and respect him a lot as a coach,” said Cassan to GX94. As a whole Cassan is look-ing forward to working with a talented coaching staff that has combined the best and brightest in the CJHL coaching ranks to represent the national program at a Junior A level for Hockey Canada. “The coaching staff around me is going to be knowledgeable, so I think there is going to be a lot of input and ideas and I’m looking forward to working with everyone.” With Terriers training camp set to go underway this weekend, Cassan also discussed what he will be looking for at a camp that will be fi lled with new fac-es. Particularly from the re-turning players, who he is hoping can assume the
leadership role that the 20 year olds had during their back to back SJHL Champi-onships thanks to the expe-riences they had as younger players on the team. “There is a big turnover regarding the leadership roles that we had in recent years,” touched Cassan on the subject of the likes of Devon McMullen, Tayler Thompson, Brady Norrish and Chase Norrish leaving the team as overaged play-ers. “I guess the last couple of years you knew who your captains were, you knew who your fi rst pairings on defence were going to be (which will change this sea-son).” Despite that Cassan is hoping that the 20 year olds on the Terriers, some who have won back to back SJHL titles in their careers already including Yorkton forward Dylan Johnson, can step up and fi ll those lead-ership roles as part of the turnover that is needed at any Junior A hockey team that wants to stay competi-tive year after year.

Cassan named Canada West head coach
Sunday night’s clash with the BC Lions marked the start of what will be the stretch that determines the Sas-katchewan Roughrid-ers 2014 CFL Playoffs situation, a two month stretch in which the Riders along with the rest of the stacked West Division will be trying to catch up with the one loss Calgary Stam-peders and Edmonton Eskimos in the race for fi rst place and the fi rst round bye. To make things more interesting in Sunday’s important meeting be-tween the Lions and Riders the two teams would be entering the game with Saskatch-ewan holding a 5-2 re-cord to the 5-3 record for BC, making a game that would have sig-nifi cant impact in the standings with the Rid-ers trying to remain one game back of fi rst place that much more inter-esting when the owner of the Lions guaranteed a win at BC Place for the home team. That guarantee from the Lions leading up to the game in a stunt to sell tickets that didn’t quite pay off (more people went to see last year’s clash between BC and Sask.) ended up being the fuel the Roughriders needed to escape Vancouver and BC Place with a memo-rable victory than was spurred on by backup Tino Sunseri who came in for an injured Darian Durant to help lead a 20-16 victory that im-proved the team’s re-cord to 20-16. Sunseri came in early on in the game for Du-rant, who was fi nding his groove early with
9/15 passing for 105 yards, eventually throw-ing eight complete pass-es for 83 yards, none more important than the touchdown pass to lineman Dan Clark who scored what will be the unlikeliest touchdown of the Riders season to keep the team on pace to make things interest-ing in the race for fi rst in the West. Still despite Sun-seri’s heroics the Riders would win the game in the end by doing what has worked so far this season despite their lack of scoring by play-ing sound defence and keeping the Lions from getting an sort of mo-mentum in the game along with timely fi eld goal kicking from Chris Milo to earn the victory. Other than a special teams miscue that al-lowed a 75 yard punt return for Tim Brown garner an early scare, the Roughriders once again stifl ed an oppos-ing offence to the point of forfeit as the Lions were forced to change quarterbacks from Kev-in Glenn to Travis Lu-lay late after Glenn was disposed of by the stingy Saskatchewan defence. All in all the Lions night was largely unsuc-cessful because of that Roughriders defence, and not just because the team’s guarantee of vic-tory was ruined along with the promise of returns on tickets pur-chased. Perhaps fans overlooked the Riders solid play on the other side of the ball last year with all of the glitz and glamour going on when the team was attacking on offence with the likes of Kory Sheets, Weston Dressler, Geroy Simon
and company giving the team star power. Now with those names gone it may be the likes of Tyron Brackenridge, Tristan Jackson, John Chick and Rickey Foley becoming not only the stars of the Riders as the season progresses. That doesn’t mean that fans shouldn’t re-main concerned about the lack of offensive fi re-works for the Riders go-ing into September, the month of August was unkind to Darian Du-rant who after leaving early on Sunday night continued his problems in fi nishing drives with touchdowns this sea-son. Having Chris Get-zlaf, Taj Smith and Rob Bagg all in the lineup at the same time will likely be a help if all three can stay healthy (or in Smith’s case, out of trouble) at the same time, but now with Durant’s injury status looming into what are two of the most physical regular season games of the year against the Winnipeg Blue Bomb-ers there will once again be question marks sur-rounding the offence. Offence wasn’t an is-
sue last time the Riders and Bombers clashed as thanks to John Chick along with a costly in-terception from Drew Willy that turned into a Saskatchewan touch-down it was a easy road
win to turn around the season for head coach Corey Chamblin that probably could have came without the team playing offence at all. After Willy cost the Bombers what would have been a pivotal win in the West last month, don’t expect the same type of miscues on of-fence from the former Riders backup who knows a thing or two about the Labour Day Classic/Banjo Bowl as a famous quarterback of the big rivalry games in beating Winnipeg on the road as a backup. Willy, whose season has been up and down as Winnipeg has crashed to earth a bit after a hot
start, should be moti-vated by his trip back to Taylor Field this week-end which should make for good sports theater in the annual showcase event for the CFL. Everything will hinge on Darian Durant’s health come the week-end however. From the magnitude of the moment in a potential Durant v. Willy show-down, the chances of Saskatchewan picking up the needed home win to the hope of Saskatch-ewan’s offence turning it around relies on how healthy Durant will be or if he plays at all. Two provinces will be wait-ing, because it is the Labour Day Classic.

“I think we still have a great group of 20 year olds that have had great success in this league already.” “I think that they are quality people who bring a lot of intangibles to the table and that our expectations are to be competitive while con-tinuing to improve.” Cassan added that while he expects big things going into training camp, there may need to be patience preached early with the roster turnover leading to few returning blueliners. “I think that there will need to be some patience early, especially on the backend where we aren’t returning a bunch of guys and that has usually been the strength of our team.” Training camp will be a busy time for Terriers looking to make the team, something that Cassan mentioned often hinges on showing that you can compete at the Junior A level. Especially for young players who looked good at spring camp when the Terriers roster was in the midst of their RBC Cup run. If players can show growth from then to playing against older competition Cassan will be giving them a watchful eye. “It is important to show growth from the spring to the summer for those looking to make the team,” Cassan told Walchuk. “A lot of players look good during spring camp or against their own age of competition so we will be looking to see who stands out when we have the large group of num-bers that we will hopefully be seeing this week-end.” Another thing Cassan will be hoping to see is a focused attitude from his veteran players, some-thing that he felt was a key to their recent suc-cess. “In recent years we have always been able to count on having a focused group of players who know the type of work it was going to take to be one of the best teams in the league and also in Canada at the Junior A level.” “Hopefully our returning players can continue that attention to detail and desire to work hard from the fi rst day of training camp to the end of the season.” Terriers training camp takes place all weekend at the Farrell Agencies Arena and will close with the 2014 Terriers Intrasquad Game at 6:00 p,m. on Sunday.

School Zone SafetySchool zones can be dangerous places for kids walking, biking or even getting picked up or dropped off at school.
DO’s:
1. Slow down. Slow to a safe speed where you can. Carefully watch for kids crossing in between parked cars.
2. Stop for buses. When a bus’ lights are fl ashing, it means that children are getting in or out. Traffi c must stop in both direc-tions until the lights stop fl ashing – and no sooner.
3. Put your car in park. When dropping off your children, don’t just come to a stop, but put your vehicle in park while they exit.
4. Pick a spot. Discuss with your child a designated pick-up and drop-off spot that is easily and safely accessible. That way, kids aren’t wandering the streets to fi nd their ride home.
5 Always signal. Signal when changing lanes, turning onto an-other street or when moving from a parked position.
DON’Ts:
1. Don’t be distracted. Put down the coffee or cell phone; place your hands on the wheel and keep your eyes on the road.
2. Don’t park in no parking or no stopping zones. Waiting driv-ers may become impatient and attempt unsafe manoeuvres to pass, putting you and your child directly in harm’s way.
3. Don’t idle. If you stop for longer than 10 seconds, it is more fuel effi cient to shut your car off and turn it back on when it’s time to go.
4. Don’t roll through stop signs. Make a complete stop at every stop sign and check for traffi c both on the road and the side-walk.
5. Don’t ignore School Safety Patrols. Patrols are there for one purpose: to protect youngsters as they cross the street. When crossing guards extend their fl ags and enter the street you must come to a complete stop and wait for all pedestrians to cross, proceeding only when the patrol has returned to the curb.
