Saskatchewan Agri-culture is reminding producers to be aware of the risk of anthrax after confirmation of a positive case in a cow in the Rural Municipality of Hazel Dell No. 335, on December 5. Anthrax is the suspected cause of death in two other cattle from the same herd.
The suspected source of anthrax is believed to be soil-contaminated slough
hay. As feed is the source, there is not a widespread geograph-ical risk. However, producers are remind-ed to be vigilant. Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis, which can survive in spore form for decades in soil. Livestock are affected when they eat forage contaminated with the spores. Affected animals are usually found dead without any signs of the ill-
ness.Anthrax can be pre-
vented by vaccination. Producers in regions that have experienced previous outbreaks are strongly encour-aged to vaccinate their animals each year.
Anyone who sus-pects anthrax should contact their local vet-erinarian. All posi-tive test results are required to be report-ed to the provincial Chief Veterinary Officer.

THE CREW of Finding Al, including filmmaker Kelly Riess (center), shoots in Moose Jaw. The documentary is cur-rently looking for Yorkton residents who have a connection to Capone to come forward and share their stories.
Continued from Page 1A
“A lot of the stuff we hear is family sto-ries, but what’s inter-esting is sometimes you can hear the same story from two differ-ent parts of the family tree who don’t know each other.”
The province’s con-nection to bootlegging was largely due to an easy to cross border, Riess explains. While it was difficult to cross in Ontario, the prairie provinces were an easy way to get into Canada.
“It was kind of the perfect hub for people to get across the bor-der, whether using the back roads or the Sioux line, there wasn’t as much secu-rity back then.”
S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s criminal past is some-thing that has been kept quiet for a num-ber of years, and Riess
believes that it was because people didn’t want to acknowledge what was happening. Now that time has passed, she says peo-ple find the stories more entertaining than shameful. She notes that Moose Jaw is a prime example, while it now proudly showcases its tunnels they remained a secret until the 1980s, some-thing which the city initially didn’t want to talk about.
Riess says what they need now is peo-ple to come forward with their stories to share them, and shed light on what connec-tions Yorkton might have to bootlegging. She says people should contact her at [email protected] or visit findingaldocu-mentary.com if their family had a connec-tion.
WINTER CONCERT – Students from across the Good Spirit School Division showed what they’ve learned in band at the annual school band concert. Six bands, starting with students from Grade 5, played a variety of tunes for a full house at the Anne Portnuff Theatre.

Financial and Consumer Affairs Author i ty o f Saskatchewan (FCAA) in partnership with Credit Counselling Society has created a debt management info graphic to help Saskatchewan people tackle their debt.
“We have all seen
the recent news reports about debt levels ris-ing in Canada,” FCAA Chair and CEO Dave Wild said. “Debt can easily get ahead of you and a lot of people don’t know where to turn for help. We have created an info graphic that shows people how to tackle their debt in five
easy steps.”U n d e r s t a n d i n g
spending habits and prioritizing debt are critical in helping peo-ple get a handle on their financial respon-sibilities. When bor-rowing or making a purchase, it is impor-tant to think about all the costs involved and
what the best options might be. The info graphic will be tweeted and posted on Facebook so people can learn how to start to respon-sibly manage their money.
To learn more about debt management visit www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca or www.nomoredebts.org.

If you have a dog in Saskatoon, you can’t leave it unrestrained in the back of a truck. Doing so will get you a fine of $100 for the first offense, which goes up if you’re caught again. Regina is considering adopting a similar bylaw, and as more places begin considering dog transportation as a rule, we have to consider whether or not it’s a good idea.
The issue, as far as I can see it, comes down to restraint. Dogs need to get to appointments just like the rest of us – mostly vets, but a service dog has many important things to do – and it’s clear that there need to be some kind of way to transport a dog. For the animal, one can argue for or against whether dogs are safe in the back of a truck all they want, the dogs themselves never seem to mind. The problem with a dog unrestrained in a truck bed isn’t that they’re in the back, but there’s nothing really holding them there.
People need seatbelts because in a collision an unrestrained person can do heavy damage to them-selves and any other passenger. The same rule basi-cally applies to dogs as well. In an accident, the dog in the back of the truck won’t be in the back of the truck any longer, simple physics explains that, so for a dog’s safety having some kind of restraint seems like it might be a good idea. The dogs don’t have the
same advantage as people, in that they can’t actually remove any restraints of their own volition, but it’s still something worth considering. If you’re in animal welfare, that’s going to be your primary reason for objecting to a dog being transported unrestrained in a truck, and given the safety issue surrounding being unrestrained in a moving vehicle for everyone, it stands to reason some form of dog seatbelt is going to be advocated.
It’s also an extension of leash laws. A dog can get out of the back of a truck relatively easily, whether or not they have any interest in doing so. Getting out of that truck could be bad for safety reasons, whether people are concerned about the welfare for the dog, as
it leaps out in traffic, or of the people surrounding the dog, if it’s not a very nice animal. Leash laws exist for general safety reasons anyway, and extend-ing them into the back of a truck seems mostly logi-cal.
Whether or not it’s something that should be applied here is another question entirely. Given that this is a rural area, there are likely to be more unre-strained dogs here than perhaps in larger centers. From a position of practicality, a lot of people would find it more difficult to take a dog into the vet if they have to go through the effort of putting it in some sort of safety gear – this is especially true if the dog in question needs medical attention due to bothering an animal it should not have, a common issue for farm dogs.
It’s a safety question, both for people and animals in this case. The dogs can’t really decide this one, they’re not known to take serious debates on their safety and well-being particularly seriously. It’s for the people to decide, and if we need seatbelts it does stand to reason that they should be required for the animals in our care as well. After all, they’re still liv-ing creatures, and they still are at risk in any kind of accident. It might be worth considering an unre-strained dog the same as an unrestrained person.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) met with Saskatchewan Finance Minister Ken Krawetz to make recommendations for the upcoming budget.
First, the Saskatchewan government needs to better plan for, and discuss, the demographic tsunami that is starting to hit the province. The first of the baby boom generation started to turn 65 years of age back in 2011.
This is significant for two reasons. First, when people retire, they earn less money and pay less in taxes. Second, older people tend to require more expensive health procedures like hip replacements and 24-hour nursing care.
The second major issue we highlighted con-cerns government employee pension problems. While pensions can be a complex topic, the impact on taxpayers is not. Several government employee pension funds in Saskatchewan ran into financial problems, so governments bailed them out with millions of extra dollars each year. That’s not right.
In terms of health care, we expressed support for the premier’s recent musings about allowing private MRIs in the province. It just makes sense for Saskatchewan patients to be able to decide for themselves – go on a government waiting list for the service or pay out of pocket for faster care.
In terms of alcohol sales reform, we encour-aged the government to pursue the Alberta model – only private businesses sell alcohol. Our recommendation came following a survey of CTF supporters across the province about the five options being floated by the government.
We also encouraged the Wall government to put pressure on organizations it funds (school boards, health regions, universities, municipali-ties) to deliver services more cost-effectively. Statistics Canada data shows that Saskatchewan leads the nation when it comes to the number of people working for either a municipal or provin-cial government.
It’s time for those organizations to follow the Wall government’s lead and trim the fat. (Recall, the Wall govern
If you like any of the aforementioned ideas, be sure to speak up. The more people pushing for change the more likely it is to happen when Budget 2015 come out.

Equalization payments are discouraging at least two provinces—Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—from developing their natural resources and generating prosperity for their resi-dents, finds Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Equalization Policy Crutch, a new essay released jointly by the Fraser Institute and the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS), two indepen-dent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tanks.
Equalization makes it easier for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to forego natural resource development that would help spur economic growth while Saskatchewan, for example, is devel-oping its natural resources and is now a net con-tributor to Canada’s equalization program,” said Ben Eisen, director of research and programs at AIMS.
Through annual payments, Canada’s federal equalization program redistributes income to poorer provinces. From 2005/06 to 2013/14, New Brunswick received $14.5 billion in equalization while Nova Scotia received $12.9 billion.
Yet New Brunswick recently introduced a mor-atorium on hydraulic fracturing (also known as fracking) despite the province’s estimated 15 tril-lion cubic feet of known shale gas reserves. And Nova Scotia, with its 120 million cubic feet of natural gas and eight billion barrels of oil, recent-ly extended its own fracking moratorium.
“Resource development is a proven prosperity driver, but by banning fracking, the governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are keeping the door shut on a potential source of jobs, eco-nomic growth and government revenue,” said Mark Milke, study co-author and senior fellow at the Fraser Institute.
The study finds that on a wide range of eco-nomic measures, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick perform poorly compared to most other provinces.
For example, in 2013 only Prince Edward Island had an average household income lower than Nova Scotia ($37,456) and New Brunswick ($36,373) whereas Saskatchewan ($44,288) ranked second in Canada.
Moreover, from 2004 to 2013, the average unemployment rate in Nova Scotia (8.6 per cent) and New Brunswick (9.2 per cent) ballooned over rates in Saskatchewan and Alberta (4.7 per cent each) where many young Maritimers have moved in search of work.
And from 2004 and 2013, only Prince Edward Island attracted less private sector investment than Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
“If the governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick want to help create more jobs at home, raise incomes for workers, and increase tax reve-nues for their respective governments, they should pursue policies that do not harmfully restrict nat-ural resource development,” Eisen said.

To the Editor:
In a letter to Richard Price in 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote “whenev-er the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that when-ever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.” In other words, an informed electorate pos-sesses the knowledge to hold their government accountable.
Jefferson understood how citizens and power interact. As do Canadian First Nations members such as Phyllis Sutherland who supports the First Nations Transparency Act. Sutherland, from Peguis First Nation in Manitoba, argues that the First Nations Transparency Act allows “people at the grassroots level… to access informa-tion about their commu-nity without fear of intim-idation or reprisal.” The Act requires Chiefs to publicly release the band’s audited financial state-ments as well as Chief and Councillors salaries; informing First Nations members how their band finances are managed and informing Canadian taxpayers how their tax
dollars are being spent.Some have argued that
the First Nations Transparency Act requires the disclosure of sensitive information. However, it merely extends to First Nations politicians what is required of all other lev-els of government and politicians in Canada: the disclosure of salaries and financial statements. For example, the Manitoba Municipal Act requires the financial statements of municipalities to show “the amount of compensa-tion, expenses and any other payment made to each person who is a member of the council.”
The importance of this disclosure may be lost on those who do not live on a reserve. But as aboriginal author Calvin Helin states: “community mem-bers . . . have no practical ability to pursue the kinds of information related to transparency and accountability that all other Canadians take for granted.” The First Nations Transparency Act attempts to provide an avenue for First Nations members to obtain this basic financial information.
So does such disclosure have a real-world impact in First Nations commu-
nities? Members of the Shuswap First Nation in British Columbia think so. They recently decided to not re-elect their Chief of over 30 years after audited statements, now public, showed excessive spending, unexplained expenses and a Chief’s salary in excess of $200,000 a year. Elsewhere , in Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Manitoba, band mem-bers want answers and change after audited statements showed a net increase in debt to $6.2 million from $5 million within one year, all under the leadership of their Chief, who is the highest paid Chief in Manitoba at $130,000 a year.
With an increase in federal transfers to First Nations communities, this type of transparency and accountability is needed now more than ever. The federal govern-ment alone spends more than $10 billion annually on Aboriginal issues and spending per First Nations person in Canada rose more than 880 per cent over the past 60 years. In comparison, spending per person on all Canadians rose by 387 per cent.
Most First Nations governments are not akin
to Shushwap and most have also complied with the new legislation: 538 out of 582 First Nations have publicly released their salaries and audited financial statements. As for the remaining 44, they will now have funding for non-essential services (such as Chief and Councillors salaries worth over $24 million) with-held by the federal gov-ernment.
It is unclear why the Chiefs of these 44 com-munities are choosing to withhold this information from their electorate and Canadian taxpayers. It is particularly peculiar that two of these communities, Weenusk First Nation and Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation, previously pub-lished their audited finan-cial statements and have now reversed course. That begs the question: why are these 44 Chiefs afraid of an informed elector-ate?
Perhaps because Jefferson - and Phyllis Sutherland - were right about the power of voters to set matters aright once informed about the facts.

To the Editor:
There have been several unsettling news reports in the past few days about issues affecting the Canadian grains industry.
In the wake of last year’s multi-billion-dollar fiasco in grain handling and transportation, the Harper govern-ment’s “order” to the railways to move certain minimum volumes of grain per week expired last month. It was replaced with a new order, involving less ambitious vol-umes, lasting until next spring.
Given this year’s more modest crop, there will be a somewhat smaller volume to move this winter and that will take a bit of pressure off the system. But due to widely varying weather conditions through the fall, crop quality is also widely variable - meaning the logistics of assembling grain cars and trains across the prairies will likely be more complex. So we’re not out of the woods yet.
The most recent expert calculations indicate costs and losses from last year’s mess totalled more than $5-billion. Farmers simply cannot afford a repeat of that sorry perfor-mance - especially since the fines the government prom-ised for failures to meet the weekly targets seem to be largely rhetorical and unenforceable.
The new order does not reflect the quality variability issue. It does not attempt to achieve any equity among shipping corridors west, east, north and south. The gov-ernment mentions, but does nothing tangible about the needs of producer-car shippers or short-line rail operators. There is nothing to ensure decent service to domestic grain users.
At the bottom-line, the grain handling and transporta-tion system remains inadequate with little ability to cope with volume surges or adverse weather. Shippers remain captive with no competitive commercial alternatives and no legal recourse when the system fails. And threatened fines, to be paid to the government, have no real impact and are no substitute for liquidated damages payable directly to affected shippers.
In a recent survey by RBC Capital Markets, more than three-quarters of shippers label the rail service they have received recently as just fair or poor. That level of dissatis-faction is way up from less than one-third of shippers who were complaining a year ago. The lingering consequence of transportation failures is the damage done to Canada’s reputation as a reliable global supplier. Some excellent traditional customers for Canadian grain, like Japan, just walked away last winter.
And there are growing signs of another troubling dimension to Canadian unreliability. Customer concerns are rising about defective grain quality issues. High qual-ity and consistency used to be well recognized Canadian strengths. But following drastic cuts and other changes at the Canadian Grain Commission, weaker inspection sys-tems are allowing serious mistakes on protein levels, weights and gluten. Canada’s reputation is taking another hit.
Finally, there’s the news about the government’s secret machinations to dispose of the vandalized remains of the Canadian Wheat Board. Among farmers, views about the CWB differ profoundly. But whether you loved it or hated it, surely the process of changing from the single-desk sell-ing system should be intelligently managed.
Instead, blinded by ideological rage, the Harper gov-ernment has made no effort to maximize the return to farmers and taxpayers from the Board’s demise.
By eliminating the CWB’s single-desk, the Conservatives acceded to what has been the US government’s Number One demand in its trading relationship with Canada. The Americans disliked the Board because it was their tough-est competition. Getting rid of it gives the US a big leg up in global markets.
So what did Canada get in return for this huge trade concession? Absolutely nothing. Mr. Harper totally squan-dered what could have been a major bargaining chip. Canada gained nothing on guaranteed access to US mar-kets, nothing on insidious “country-of-origin” labelling, nothing on approval of the KeystoneXL pipeline, nothing at all on anything. And that’s just dumb.
Compounding this blundering is the way in which the government is privatizing the CWB.
The process is totally opaque. There’s no transparency or accountability - even though the Board’s assets are derived entirely from its past marketing success on behalf of farmers, back-stopped by a federal financial guarantee. There’s no proper Annual Report or even audited financial statements.
Barring some last minute change, the Harper govern-ment seems determined to gift the CWB, free-of-charge, to a US multinational grain corporation. Again, farmers and taxpayers will get nothing in return. And the premium “Canada Brand” in world grain markets will be dead.

Harper gives CWB away for free
Transparency Act needed for all
To the Editor:
Local Member of Parliament Garry Breitkreuz couldn’t have been clearer when he said: “In my experience we need more openness and transparency in government... Democracy cannot function effec-tively if there is not a free flow of information. We need to know what is happening behind the scenes in government.”1
Soon he will have a chance to show how he is putting that senti-ment into practice as your repre-sentative when he votes on the Transparency Act.
This bill was introduced by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau to raise the bar on openness and accountability by making govern-ment information open by default.
It is a good faith effort to work across the aisle and achieve results for Canadians.
The Transparency Act would modernize our Access to Information system, which is stuck in the 1980s. It would make all government data public by default and available in modern formats. It would empower an independent office to order that information to be disclosed. It would eliminate extra fees for information requests.
The Act would also make the meetings of the governing board of the House of Commons open by default, allowing Canadians to see how MPs make decisions on their own spending.
These changes would go a long way to addressing criticisms by the
press, researchers, independent experts and others, and ensure that citizens have a real right to know what their government does.
Mr. Trudeau has been clear that he wants to work with all MPs, and is open to amendments, sug-gestions and improvements. He believes that together we can help restore a sense of trust in our democracy.
Private Members Bills like this are normally “free votes”, which allow MPs to vote with their con-science instead of their party. We sincerely hope that Mr. Breitkreuz will vote in favour of the Transparency Act.
Yours sincerely,Scott Simms, MP

To the Editor:
Canadian shoppers have long suffered from higher prices on some con-sumer goods relative to other countries. For many Canadians, the price dif-ferences are most notice-able when they shop in the United States.
In an attempt to “reme-dy” the differences, the fed-eral government has just introduced legislation, the so-called “Price Transpar-en cy Act.” It will force re -tailers to explain why Can-a dian prices are sometimes higher than American ones for the same products.
Industry Minister James Moore, who announced the proposed law, used over-the-top lan-guage from historic civil rights struggles to describe the occasional U.S.-Canada
price gap. He calls differ-ences between U.S. and Canadian retail prices “geographic price discrimi-nation.” Moore admits other factors lead to higher Canadian prices - what he calls “legitimate costs of doing business” in Canada. But he claims the entire gap between U.S. and Canadian price tags can-not be explained by “legiti-mate” input costs.
Step back for a moment and consider the legislative absurdity. What counts as “legitimate pricing?” How many twisted investiga-tions will this Act pro-duce?
Suppose a retailer’s margin on Widget X is 10 per cent in the United States and 12 per cent in Canada. Any number of factors could explain the difference.
For example, perhaps the middleman, between the wholesaler and the retailer, is subject to higher property taxes in one Canadian city vis-a-vis a competitor south of the border.
To think a government is remotely capable of col-lecting and properly collat-ing this type of compara-tive information assumes a degree of specific knowl-edge that governments do not possess. Why? Because millions of business deci-sions are made daily and are impossible to track.
All of this, however, ignores one significant rea-son why some prices in Canada are higher than those in the United States: government policy.
For example, as econo-mist Ross McKitrick found recently, for large indus-
trial users, electricity rates in Chicago in 2012 were 6.12 cents per kilowatt hour. Rates in Toronto were about double that fig-ure.
The United States and Canada do not allow for full competition, but Americans benefit from a bigger market given their much larger population. Electricity prices in Ontario. Dairy and poultry products. Airline fares. In each case, governments keep costs high for Canadian consumers. It’s a safe bet that politicians will not be called before the Commissioner of Competition to explain their price-fixing schemes.

On Monday, December 15 Parkland College signed the Indigenous Education Protocol for Colleges and Institutes. It is a new initiative created by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) to support col-leges in their commit-ment to the education of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students.
The Indigenous Education Protocol out-lines how colleges can strive to improve their practices and better serve Aboriginal peo-ples. The Protocol underscores the impor-tance of removing bar-riers to education and supporting self-deter-mination and socio-eco-nomic development of Indigenous communi-ties.
“As key providers of applied post-secondary education for Indigenous communi-ties, colleges recognize that they have impor-tant responsibilities and obligations to Indigenous education,” said Denise Amyot, President and CEO of CICan. “This protocol encourages our mem-bers to be more inclu-
sive of Indigenous cul-tures and even more proactive in finding ways to create suc-cess.”
CICan developed the Protocol over the last year through consulta-tions with college and institute representa-tives from across Canada. Lydia Cyr, Chairperson of the Parkland College Board of Governors, signed the document Monday in Yorkton, along with Amyot and representa-tives from First Nations in the Parkland Region.
“A key priority of our Strategic Plan is work-ing with Aboriginal communities to improve enrolment, graduation rates, and employment rates,” said Parkland College President Dr. Fay Myers. “A prosper-ous future depends on building these kinds of partnerships. This is another big step for-ward.”
About Parkland
College:Since its inception in
1973, Parkland College has worked to expand the philosophy of life-long learning in East
Central Saskatchewan. Among the seven basic principles upon which the community college system was founded is
the idea that programs are to be developed in response to the needs of the community. Today, Parkland College offers
a broad spectrum of educational services from trades training and high school upgrad-ing to the province’s
most diverse off-cam-pus university offer-ings.

Saskatchewan’s econ-omy is expected to rebound in 2015, courte-sy of growth in agricul-tural production, improvements in the labour market and a recovery in non-energy mining, according to the latest RBC Economics Provincial Outlook released. RBC forecasts real GDP growth of 2.8 per cent in 2015 after modest growth in 2014 of 1.1 per cent.
The projected 2015 growth is a slight down-ward revision from our previous forecast of 3.0 per cent, reflecting the negative impact of expected lower oil prices on income growth in the province. Restrained by declining agricultural production last year, RBC downwardly revised their 2014 real GDP fore-cast to 1.1 per cent from the previously estimated
1.3 per cent.“Recent data is tenta-
tively suggesting some easing from the declining activity that prevailed over the first half of this year,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC. “A modest improvement in global demand that we expect should pave the way for a further strengthening in potash production in the prov-ince next year and into 2016.”
More positive trends in the provincial labour market are also expected to contribute to growth. Solid employment gains and continued robust immigration into Saskatchewan have con-tributed to housing starts rebounding more than expected in 2014 to 8,600. Assuming a rise in inter-est rates beginning in 2015, RBC forecasts pro-
vincial housing starts to moderate to a still solid 8,100 units next year before moderating fur-ther to 7,000 in 2016.
“The recent employ-ment numbers in the province support indica-tions of an increase in housing starts in 2014 from the 8,300 recorded in 2013,” added Wright. “However, the expected rise in interest rates in 2015 will exert a cooling effect on new home con-struction and lead to a moderation in starts.”
Gains in agriculture and non-energy mining are expected to contrib-ute to business invest-ment strengthening in both 2015 and 2016, after indications of relatively flat capital expenditure in 2014. Cutbacks to investment spending in the energy sector present some downside risks to this outlook.
Economy to rebound

Christmas is the season for giving, and probably the best gift I can give to you is our much-loved recipe for my all time favorite dessert: Crème Caramel. Although the process of this rec-ipe requires a bit of care and attention, this is sure to become a favorite decadent dessert in your home and with guests. Crème Caramel is much like Crème Brûlée, but the cara-melized sugar goes into the ramekin first, rather than torched
on top with a Brûlée. The result is a com-plex caramel layer on top of the inverted custard and a residual complex caramel sauce that is a perfect companion with each bite of the delicate custard. Enjoy!
Crème Caramel2/3 cup sugar1/3 cup water1/4 tsp salt2 cups whipping
cream1 cup milk1 tsp vanilla extract
or vanilla bean paste1/2 tsp salt
One 2-inch strip of lemon zest
3 large eggs3 large egg yolks1/2 cup sugar Preheat oven to 350
degrees Fahrenheit and grease 6 ramekins with butter.
Put the 2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water and 1/4 tsp salt in a small heavy bottomed saucepan over medi-um/low heat until the sugar dissolves. When it starts to turn brown, swirl in the pan but do not stir until it turns dark rich brown, but not burnt. Immediately pour equal amounts into the prepared rame-kins.
In another heavy bottomed saucepan, bring the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, salt and the lemon zest to just below a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat
and let sit while pre-paring the eggs in the next step.
Whisk the 3 whole eggs with the 3 extra egg yolks and the 1/2 cup sugar until frothy.
Remove the zest from the cream mix-ture. Very slowly driz-zle the hot cream mix-ture into the egg mix-ture while whisking constantly. Doing it slow will prevent the eggs from curdling.
Pour this prepared custard mixture into the caramel lined ramekins.
Place the filled ramekins into a large pan. Pour boiling water into the pan until the water level reaches approximate-ly half-way up the outer sides of the ramekins.
Carefully put this pan into the oven and reduce the tempera-ture to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for approximately 40 min-
utes or until the cen-ters of the custards are almost set (cooked).
Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 2 days.
To Serve: Loosen the custard in each ramekin by running a butter knife all around the edge of the cus-tard. Invert a plate over the ramekin. Quickly flip the rame-kin/plate over and gently jiggle until the custard/caramel come loose. Remove the ramekin and serve on the plate.

Changes are now in effect that will make it easier for Saskatchewan people to vote in future provincial elections. The Election Amendment Act, 2014 was proclaimed today.
“Everyone in Saskatchewan should have the same opportu-nity to cast a ballot,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “The improvements that go into effect will increase voter access, especially for those peo-ple who face personal obstacles when it comes to participating in the electoral process.”
The amendments were developed in con-sultation with Elections Saskatchewan and the Official Opposition and were passed in the spring.
“Changes reflected in the Act - including 11 recommendations put forward by my office - are the result of a genuinely collabora-tive process,”
Saskatchewan’s Chief Electoral Officer and head of Elections Saskatchewan Dr. Michael Boda said. “We are pleased to have worked closely with both government and opposition members to further reduce barriers for all voters in the province.”
The amendments include new home-bound voting provisions that allow voters with a disability to have elec-tion officials come to their home to take their vote.
Saskatchewan is now the first jurisdic-tion in Canada to pro-vide special residence recognition to voters serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. Active members from this province will retain their residency while serving elsewhere. Members coming to the province to serve here will immediately be able to vote in provin-cial elections.
The new Act will also
establish a permanent voter registry and remove the require-ment for door-to-door enumeration. It will also remove restrictions on who can vote at advance polls.
Voter access increased

It’s time to spread the word about the employer application period for Canada Summer Jobs 2015. This year, applications will be accepted until January 30, 2015. Funding is available to not-for-profit organiza-tions, small businesses and public-sector employers and applies to secondary and post-secondary students.
The Canada Summer Jobs program is part of a larger federal govern-ment strategy called YES (Youth Employment Strategy). Our government invests approximately $330
million every year in YES in order to do exactly what the Canada Summer Jobs program has mandated: to help our younger people develop employ-able skills and gain necessary work experi-ence.
Since the Canada Summer Jobs program began in 2006-2007, it has helped over 304,000 students. Last year, church camps, muse-ums, small businesses and local charitable organizations were among those that ben-efitted within the fed-eral constituency of Yorkton-Melville. In
2015, the program is expected to create approximately 35,000 jobs.
Investing in students benefits our communi-ty, economy and society as a whole. The Canada Summer Jobs program creates a win-win situ-ation for both employ-
ers and employees. It provides students with valuable work experi-ence and extra money for the upcoming school year. It also helps them get the skills and train-ing they may need for current and future jobs.
The program also
pays part of employee salaries during the often busy summer months. By hiring stu-dents, employers bene-fit from the fresh per-spective and new ideas they bring to the work-place.
As a government – and as employers – we have to tap into the great potential of our young people. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s workforce. By investing in them now, we are helping contribute to Canada’s economic growth and long-term prosperity.
I strongly encourage employers to apply for
funding and give our young people the oppor-tunity to develop the skills and gain the work experience they need to be successful, now and in the future.

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.
We’re getting closer to Christmas, and it is time to start decorating the house. First we should mount the string of multi coloured lights on the eaves of the house. I did that once when we lived in Alberta. I painstak-ingly put up a long string of green, red and blue outdoor lights, only to find that I had put them up in reverse order, as in the plug end was oppo-site of the plug in on the house. I had to go to town and buy a 50 foot exten-sion cord, which I plugged the string into, and then hid the extension cord inside the eaves, brought it out by the wall plug and plugged it in, and voila, we had lights. Well almost. Some, or almost all of the bulbs did not light up, so I had to go along the string and make sure they were properly screwed into their sockets.
Marion would not let me put an extension lad-der up leaning on her new eaves, so we have to forego the outside string of lights. But the solution is in the new solar pow-ered yard lights, which will light up our drive-way! Much better, now Santa will have a land-ing strip for his sleigh! Our chimney is not big enough for the Jolly Old Elf, so he has to come in through the front door, which I will booby trap, because I want to meet him!
The next thing to do is to set up the tree. Marion wants to use the artifi-cial tree that we have ready in the basement. It was decorated years ago, and still is decorated the same way. After display-ing the tree over the Christmas holidays, she simply takes a large plas-tic garbage bad and treads it over the tree, grabs the tree at the base and moves it to the base-ment. Then the following Christmas she brings it up, removes the garbage bag, and presto there is the tree already fully decorated! However, this year I suggested we go out in our own little pri-
vate forest and cut down a nice little spruce tree. My suggestion became a motion brought forth at our family council meet-ing (Marion and me). A lively discussion ensued, the topic being tradition versus convenience. The pros with respect to the artificial tree was the ease of handling an already decorated tree, no pine needles dropping on the floor every time the dog would sniff at it, no need to be hiking through deep snow in bitterly cold weather, etc. I argued that it is part of tradition to go out in the bush and select a nice Christmas tree, to be decorated with our nice ornaments, rather than displaying a poorly made replica!
Marion reminded me of the time in Alberta when I cut a live spruce for Christmas. A nice farmer around the Edson area advertised in the Edmonton newspapers that we could come and cut our own Christmas tree. A friend of mine and I drove out from Edmonton, paid the farmer and went into the described lot trying to find a suitable tree. Most of the small spruces were kind of skinny and didn’t look at all like a Christmas tree. Then we came across a 20 foot tall spruce with a nice look-ing top part. Great! Let’s cut this one down and cut off the top. Paul Bunyan would have been proud! We chopped the tree down with an axe and it fell to the ground with a big whomp, with the top of the tree just centimeters from the back of my car! We quick-ly cut off the top of the tree, tied it to the roof of the car and drove away, watching the farmer in the rear view mirror shaking his fist at us!
I mounted the tree stand and put it up in the living room. It thawed out overnight, and the next morning, tiny little tree bugs were crawling all over, so out went the tree. After fumigating the house we purchased a nice artificial spruce tree! OK! A natural tree might have some draw-backs, but I won’t be cut-ting down a 20 foot tree again! There are some nice Christmas trees in
the bush, and a natural tree will smell so nice in the house, it will be like having that pine air freshener that we hang in the truck, only it will be a lot bigger and stand on the floor. She coun-tered with the fact that while dragging it home it would lose a lot of nee-dles and probably look more like a plucked chicken than a tree. “Enough discussion already,” I said, “let’s vote on my motion!” I lost! Can you believe it? The chairperson (Marion) exercised her veto power! I think she might be related to the Grinch!
Many years ago Marion and I travelled through one of the south-ern states just before Christmas, and in a small southern town we came across a “Nativity Scene” in front of a Lutheran Church that showed great skill and talent. A nice southern belle was standing back and admir-ing her work. I stopped the car and we got out to look at the nice display as well. However, one small feature bothered us. The three wise men were wearing firemen’s helmets. Totally unable to understand why, we asked the lady about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at us, “You stupid Canadians never do read the Bible!” She jerked her Bible from her purse and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in our faces she said: “See, it says right here, ‘The three wise men came from afar.’”
It’s getting closer to Christmas time

Ed, my neighbor next door, had trouble dealing with me last week after he saw my red nose. Of course, he wanted to know if I was competing with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Rein-deer. He asked, “What is wrong with the end of your nose? It looks like you have a flesh eating disease. You’ll scare the kids and make adults cross the street.” If his cell phone hadn’t interrupted him who knows how much more he would have said. Once Ed gets worked up on some topic, it can seem like a week before he runs dry of words.
My neighbor’s great-est concern was that I had some contagious
thing on my nose that looked worse than ring-worm. He told me that these days a person cannot be too careful, maybe I have some new thing like Ebola only on my skin. He also offered that since I have spent a lifetime with my nose in books, maybe it’s a kind of mold from read-ing limitless, musty books.
I knew Ed would question what I was doing to my nose, even under the direction of a dermatologist. I have had to apply prescribed cream on my nose for the last two weeks. Sun and weather damage had left my nose in need of a renovation. The cream was mean
stuff that does a demo-lition on the old skin so healthier skin can replace it in time. It was a treatment that felt awful, and chewed up the area treated, but I needed to do it. I assured Ed that there was nothing contagious about my nose and that he wasn’t likely, to become my kissing cousin. The thought of
us being related sent Ed home to settle his nerves with a drink of whiskey that he keeps for times of troubled thoughts.
Everyone has some troubling thoughts, for example, something that could be conta-gious concerns us. We try to avoid picking up a virus that could cause us suffering in the
future. We live in a world that does not have a cure for every-thing. It doesn’t make sense to invite trouble into our lives. Health alerts and quarantines try to prevent folks from needlessly getting sick. God’s word shows us teachings, that we can prove so we will hold fast to what is spiritually healthy, joy-ful, worthy of prayer and thanksgiving. Today many forget that they are not just a body but both a body and a soul. We each have a soul that is the spiritu-al part of each of us or our connecting part to God.
Many seem to feel the tug of their soul at
Christmas. The baby Jesus laid in a manger seems non-threatened, and the humbleness of the nativity story soothes souls. The baby Jesus is contagious in that He offers in him-self hope in God towards all sinful people. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. When people read God’s word and test it by their per-sonal lives; they will see they are sinful. This sinfulness recognized is not, so they despise themselves but that they may meet the full-ness of God’s mercy and goodness in Christ. He is the sinner’s cure who keeps us sinners blame-less in body and soul before God.

Neighborly Advice According to Edby Raymond Maher
The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport has entered into a 10 year agreement with Weyerhaeuser Saskat-che wan Ltd. to renew the forest at Duck Mountain Provincial Park. The eco-
logically responsible log-ging operation will emu-late the natural growth patterns of the forest and is one of the first of its kind in Saskatchewan.
“The protection and conservation of
Saskatchewan’s natural environment is incredibly important,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “This forest renew-al project will ensure that the forest at Duck
Mountain Provincial Park will remain healthy for many years to come.”
The forest at Duck Mountain Provincial Park is approximately 120 years old and is pri-marily made up of trem-
bling aspen. Trembling aspen forests require a large scale disturbance such as wildfire to regen-erate naturally. Without a large disturbance, the trembling aspen forest will die and the area will convert to shrubland. As people have settled in the areas in and around the forests, natural wildfires have been suppressed and the forest has become uncommonly old.
Beginning in mid-De-cember, Weyerhaeuser will begin logging opera-tions in Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Over the next ten winters, approximately 10,000 hectares of forest in the north half of the park will be renewed.
Logging throughout the winter months while the ground is frozen min-imizes the impact of the machinery on the envi-
ronment. In addition, the removal of the trees while they are dormant will prompt new suckering from their roots in the following spring. In this way, the forest will regen-erate using its own natu-ral patterns and process-es and it will remain as natural, diverse and healthy as possible. This is the first time that an ecologically responsible logging process of this type has been used in a Saskatchewan Provincial Park.
The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the value and importance of Saskatchewan’s pro-vincial parks and contin-ues to invest in them. The 2014-15 Budget increased funding to pro-vincial parks by 4.6 per cent and capital invest-ments will total a record $14.9 million this year.

The Government of Saskatchewan would like to remind all residents of a few practical tips to ensure a safe and happy Christmas and holi-day season.
“During the holiday season, it is important to take the time to ensure that your home is fire safe,” Emergency Management and Fire Safety Commissioner Duane McKay said. “Every year someone’s holiday is met with tragedy because of fires related to unattended cooking, candles or faulty Christmas lights.”
When it comes to fire safety, you should ensure your smoke detectors are working, that cook-ing is never left unattended, elec-trical outlets are not overloaded and extension cords are in good shape and are being used as designed - not covered by carpets or other materials. If you are using candles, be sure they aren’t near any flammable material
and that they are always extin-guished before you leave the room or go to bed.
It is important to take some precautions if you choose to have a real tree in your home for the holidays. Before buying a real tree, be sure it is not dried out. You can tell if the needles fall off and the branches break easily. Be sure to cut a couple of centi-metres off of the base of the tree and use a stand that has a water reservoir. Natural trees need lots of water, so keep the reser-voir full.
For many of us, travelling to visit family and friends is an important part of the holiday season. It is also important to be prepared for winter driving.
“Saskatchewan’s weather can change in a hurry,” McKay said. “We can wake up to a clear, sunny day and be in a blizzard by the afternoon. That is why it is important to be sure you carry
survival gear in your vehicle. Always be sure to check the Highway Hotline before leaving home.”
A basic vehicle kit should con-tain: food that won’t spoil such as; energy bars; water in plastic bottles; blankets; extra clothes; winter boots; a candle in a deep can and matches; a first aid kit; a seat-belt cutter; a shovel; a wind-up flashlight; a whistle; maps; sand, salt or non-clumping cat litter; antifreeze/windshield washer fluid; a tow rope; jumper cables; and reflectors, a warning light or road flares.
Ensure you keep things safe
SATISFIED CUSTOMER – Canadian Tire customers from across Canada are entered into a draw for $1,000 in gift cards when they fill out an online survey about their shopping experience. David Dungey, owner of Canadian Tire in Yorkton (left) and Melissa Honour, General Manager (right) present the prize to Teresa Minty from Rocanville, Saskatchewan, who filled out the survey and was selected from entries in 490 stores.
Saskatchewan has the strongest rate of job creation in Canada, according to the latest labour force report released today by Statistics Canada. There were 15,300 more people working in Saskatchewan in November 2014 com-pared to the same month last year. That’s
a growth rate of 2.8 per cent – more than three times the national rate of 0.9 per cent.
Saskatchewan also posted the lowest unem-ployment in the county for the 24th consecu-tive month. The sea-sonally adjusted unem-ployment rate in Saskatchewan was just 3.4 per cent in
November – about half the national rate of 6.6 per cent.
“Our economy has now had the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for two consec-utive years,” Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. “These new jobs have
been created in many different sectors, which means if one sector slows down a bit, other areas of the economy are there to continue creating jobs and driv-ing growth.”
There were 5,700 new jobs created in trade (wholesale and retail) in the past year, 4,900 new jobs in
finance, insurance, real estate and leasing, 4,800 jobs in other ser-vices, and 4,700 new jobs in forestry, min-ing, oil and gas. Construction also had 3,500 new jobs.
“Some of these jobs are highly skilled posi-tions that require peo-ple with specialized training,” Harrison said. “Through the Canada Job Grant, we will provide up to $10,000 to employers to train and further devel-op their workforce - cre-ating even more oppor-tunities in our prov-ince.”
Other highlights:Regina CMA unem-
ployment rate was 3.1 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest among CMAs, while Saskatoon CMA’s unemployment rate of 3.6 per cent (seasonally adjusted) was second lowest.
There were 11,100 more full-time jobs and 4,100 part-time jobs created compared to last November.
Private sector employment was up 8,100 and self-employ-ment up 6,500 from November 2013.
Strong growth for provincial job creation

As land prices are climbing and forage acres are dwindling due to flooding or alterna-tive land uses, produc-ers place higher expec-tations on the produc-tivity of their hay stands. A high quality forage stand starts with a seed blend matched to the environmental conditions as well as the end-use goal of the hay to be produced. Establishing and main-taining a high percent-age of legumes like alfalfa in a hay stand allows the production of high protein hay and reduced nitrogen fertil-ity requirements. Just as important as choos-ing the right seed blend is the implementation of a strong fertility pro-gram at the time of seeding and during the stand production span.
The importance of providing sufficient fer-tility to a hay stand becomes apparent when considering the quanti-ties of nutrients export-ed with each hay crop removal. A grass stand producing an annual yield of 3 tons per acre equals the removal of 90-120lbs of N, 25-35lbs of P2O5, 120-140lbs of K2O, and 10-15lbs of S. Harvesting a 5 tons per acre alfalfa hay crop is equivalent to removing 260-320lbs of N, 60-80lbs of P2O5, 270-330lbs of K20, and 25-35lbs of S. The good news is that a hay stand consisting of
more than 50% legumes can provide sufficient nitrogen fixation to replace the nitrogen removed in each har-vest. This is given that the legumes are prop-erly inoculated and that the proportion of legumes can be main-tained over the age of the stand.
Even though exist-ing stands can be fertil-ized or legumes added to pure grass stands, the most economical fertilization program focuses on providing sufficient and balanced fertility at the time of seeding. Most forage stands in Saskatchewan are underfertilized and are expected to respond positively to fertility. The actual amount of fertilizer to be applied is best determined through a soil test prior to seeding. Each soil will be different based on parent material and cropping history. A stand with 60-70% of legume content may need around 50lbs of actual P, 30lbs of actual K and 10lbs of S. Keep in mind that no more than 15lbs of actual P can be seed placed. Consider banding or top-dressing larger amounts of fertilizer to avoid damaging the for-age seed.
Even if they are well fertilized at establish-ment, productivity of hay stands will gradu-ally decline over time. For example, a hay
stand in the black soil zone containing about 60-70% of legumes and fertilized at establish-ment could produce around 2 tons per acre in its third year of pro-duction. If left unfertil-ized, the stand produc-tivity is expected to decline to about 1.25 tons per acre per year. The addition of another 50lbs of actual P, 30lbs of actual K and 10lbs of S would be expected to help maintain the cur-rent production levels of 2 tons per acre per year for another three years. Please keep in mind that this scenario is used as an example and that actual amounts of fertilizer should always be based on a soil test.
Where pure grass stands are fertilized, the main focus will be on the addition of nitro-gen. The expected yield response of grass stands to the addition of nitro-gen depends on soil zone and moisture con-ditions in the year of application. In the dark-brown soil zone it is expected that for each pound of nitrogen applied, dry matter yield increases between 15 to 25lbs. In the black soil zone, each pound of nitrogen is expected to increase dry matter yield by about 20 to 30lbs. Nitrogen fertiliz-er does not just increase the yield of a grass stand but also boost the protein content of the
grass.Please keep in mind
that fertilizer respons-es always depend on species present, soil type, and moisture con-ditions. Fertilizer is only one piece to the
puzzle of a healthy stand and is not a sub-stitute for good man-agement.

For the second con-secutive holiday season, MR MIKES® Steak-houseCasual is paying it forward through their “Deeds Well Done” com-munity program. From November 17 to December 31, guests are encouraged to nominate fellow community mem-bers’ good deeds. A nomi-nated “good deed doer” will be randomly selected in each community and will receive $500 from MR MIKES® to donate to a local registered char-ity of their choice. In total, MR MIKES® will donate $12,000 to chari-ties in 24 communities across British Columbia,
Alberta and Saskatche-wan this season.
“It’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of the holiday season and forget what the holidays are really about,” says Mike Cordoba, CEO, RAMMP Hospitality Brands Inc., the compa-ny behind MR MIKES®.
“We launched our ‘Deeds Well Done’ pro-gram to encourage the spirit of giving. No deed is too big or too small, and we look forward to challenging communities across Western Canada to share the stories of their unsung heroes.”
This year, to spread the spirit of “Deeds Well
Done,” many MR MIKES restaurants will be sup-porting their own local communities with good deeds ranging from a warm-clothing drive to fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer and collecting food for the local food banks.
Nominations have started pouring in, and MR MIKES® couldn’t be happier to see the com-munity spirit in Yorkton. One nomination in par-ticular has stood out so far: “Maureen heads up Guardian Angel Animal Rescue in Yorkton (GARR). GAAR is a no-kill rescue that finds homes for stray and
unwanted animals in and around Yorkton. Our family has benefitted personally from her work, as not only was our pet adopted from GAAR, but Maureen was our pets’ foster until we adopted him. Not only does her work save the lives of so many animals, but it blesses the lives of all of the families who find their new family members through her organization. She has dedicated so much pas-sion and energy and time to this cause and to our community. “
With all 24 MR MIKES® Steakhouse-Casual restaurants par-ticipating, some amazing deeds will be celebrated in 2014. Please share your “Deeds Well Done” stories with us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @MrMikesOnline, using the hashtag #deedswell-done. To nominate a “Good Deed Doer” please visit mrmikes.ca
Established in 1960, with its first restaurant on Granville Street in Vancouver, the MR MIKES® brand is well
known and loved for its 54-year heritage, quality and affordable menu, and unique style. MR MIKES® has operations in 24 locations across Western Canada, and plans to open another 24 locations over the next seven years with recent restaurant openings in Regina and Prince Albert, and another set for Saskatoon beginning of 2015. Dauphin, Winnipeg, Cochrane, Whitehorse, Hinton and Peace River are locations slated for 2015.

NEW BEDS – Early Saturday morning, Flaman Rentals, The Brick and the Salvation Army partnered up to send out new beds to those who lost their residences in the fire that took place on December 2 at Yorkton Manor. Money for the new beds was raised by Flaman stores all across Saskatchewan and Alberta through an “Imaginary BBQ.” Employee donations were matched by shareholder Don Flaman. In just two days, over $10,000 dollars was raised to purchase the beds. Yorkton Regional High School’s football team came out to help deliver the four truckloads of mattresses and box springs.

PYJAMA DRIVELori Walsh separates 320 pairs of pyjamas collected for the Christmas Pyjama Drive at Sign on North Street. This initiative originated in British Columbia when a mother tried teaching her son about compassion during Christmas. Her son’s belief was that no kid should be without a new pair of pyjamas. From there, this initiative took off. Over the last four years, 7 000 pairs have been collected in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Last year alone, 4 000 pairs were collected. On December 7 of this year, Executive Manager Andrew Sedley of SIGN partnered up with Brown’s Social House to collect pyjamas for this Christmas Drive. 197 pairs of pyjamas were received that night, and 123 more pairs were received at SIGN this past Saturday, making Yorkton the biggest contributor out of all the western prov-inces this year. SIGN would like to partner with other agencies in the community to ensure that this large number of pyjamas goes out to all in need. – Submitted

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding producers December 31, 2014, is the final deadline to submit 2013 AgriStability forms and pay 2014 program fees.
Producers must pay program fees by the end of December to be eligi-
ble for benefits in the AgriStability Program for the 2014 program year. An Enrolment/Fee Notice was issued earlier in the year pro-viding details on the fee and the deadline for payment. April 30, 2014, (or 30 days from the date on the enrol-ment notice, whichever
is later) was the initial deadline for paying pro-gram fees. A 20 per cent penalty will be added to the fee if pro-ducers missed the ini-tial deadline.
All forms for the 2013 program year need to be submitted by December 31. This ensures producers can
access AgriStability benefits. The initial deadline for sending in program forms was September 30. Forms received after this date and before December 31 will have a $500 per month penalty; howev-er, if no benefit is gen-erated there will be no penalty applied.
Producers can use AgConnect, SCIC’s online tool for review-ing and submitting AgriStability informa-tion, to meet the December 31 deadline. AgConnect also allows producers to view their program fee and see payment details.
SCIC accepts all pro-
gram forms from indi-viduals (sole propri-etors), corporations, co-operatives and other entities. Individuals are reminded the T1163 form, which details their income and expense information, must also be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency.
Crop insurance deadline December 31
Positive change comes from encouragement which focuses on strengths.
