Workplace stress: end the trend

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

While many people are aware of physicalhealth, mental health is often overlooked,and this could lead to serious problems.Gary Shepherd, director of mental healthand addiction services for the Sunrise HealthRegion, recently spoke at a Chamber ofCommerce luncheon about the importance ofmental health in the workplace. Shepherd says that nation-wide, billionsof dollars are lost annually due to timetaken for mental health issues and Yorktonitself is no exception. While Shepherd hasonly been in the city for seven weeks, henotes that work-related stress is identifiedas a major reason behind many visits to themental health drop-in centre. “The prevalence of workplace stress issomething that we have to cope with as aservice,” he suggests. Shepherd emphasizes that mental healthis a complicated problem, and workplacestress is usually only one component of thelarger issues. He says there are signs that people canlook for to identify if their coworkers oremployees might be suffering from mentalillness. Things like decreased attendanceand productivity, as well as the inability tocope with regular tasks, are signs that some-one might be suffering from mental illness. “I think the main message is when you seesomething, be available to support people.”

Sask Abilities and BBBS partner for new programsBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The Saskatchewan Abilities Council and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Yorkton and Area are partnering to give kids and adults the opportunity to get out in the community and enjoy things most people take for granted. There will be two sepa-rate programs, the Mutual Mentors Program, run by the Abilities Council and the Big Buddies program, which will be handled by BBBS. The difference

between the two programs is the ages. The Mutual Mentors program will cater to adults 18 years or older, while the Big Buddies program will partner a child with a dis-ability with an older men-tor. “These individuals have varying abilities, but are in need of a mentor. Someone to be a special friend, hang out, help build their self confidence, and just give them an opportunity to have a

friend to something with,” says Irma Van de Bon with BBBS. The programs have been in the works for a long time, and Van de Bon says that BBBS has known about the need in the community from par-ents with kids of varying abilities. She says that working with Sask Abilities made sense, because each group had training the other needed. BBBS needed the disabil-ity awareness training for

mentors who are paired with a child with a dis-ability, while BBBS offers the Strong from the Start program, which helps mentors and mentees develop a strong, healthy relationship from the beginning. The plan is to share resources between the two organizations for the benefit of all. “If we have a mentor apply who we feel would be more suited to mentor an adult, we will refer them to Sask Abilities,

and vice versa.” Deana Jesmer, with Sask Abilities, says that this pilot project is some-thing which has never been done before, and they are excited to get people in their day pro-gram paired with a men-tor and in the community. There are already three matches in the Big Buddies program, and Van de Bon says that it is going well. The Mutual Mentors program has yet to begin, but there have

already been applicants for both mentors and mentees. Van de Bon says studies have shown that mentors have a positive impact on peoples’ lives, and the partnership was the best way to get those results and effectively serve people who have varying abilities. Those who wish to be a mentor can call BBBS at 306-782-3471 or call Sask Abilities at 306-782-2463. Mentors will go through a background check, as well as the different training needed for the different programs.

Canada Post cutbacks stand to affect service Canada Post has started to implement deep service cutbacks that stand to affect many com-munities in Canada. Many mid and small sized cities and towns will be affected. “These service cuts could affect hundreds of jobs in all the com-munities,” says Gord Fischer, National Director of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Prairie Region. “We can expect to see serious delays in mail delivery in these locations. The Union opposes these cutbacks. The results of these changes will reduce employment in these communi-ties and lengthen the time it takes for business and the public to communicate by mail.” In a notice sent March 13, 2013, Canada Post announced that it will soon be modifying its mail processing strategy and will be sending all mail from many

centres to Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina for sorting and returning the product to each city. The first thing customers will notice, says Fischer, is the change from twin red street letterboxes to a single one. In the affected areas, local and non-local mail will all go to the larger centres for sorting, taking the work with it. This process has already started in many locations. “We call upon the public and its elected representatives to question the need for these ser-vice cutbacks,” explains Fischer. “The work that will be removed is created by postal customers in these centres and should remain there in the interest of efficient and effective postal service.” Fischer adds that the Union will also be taking its concerns to federal, municipal and provin-cial elected leaders and asking

them for assistance in this mat-ter. “It is unnecessary and envi-ronmentally disastrous to truck mail back and forth just to attempt to reduce staff, when the service can be provided local-ly. We have Canada Post officials making decisions that affect mail service in the Prairie Provinces and I don’t think they even understand the geography and conditions there. Canada Post is not taking the customers into account as they make changes to the work at the Corporation. “Canada Post is spending bil-lions of dollars on modernizing their structure, but not a single cent is going towards service improvements. Once again they are reducing service to many communities and creating a sec-ond-class system for smaller communities,” concludes Fischer.

AS CUTBACKS INCREASE, people will see a decline in familiar red post boxes, many of which have already been removed.

When it comes to support, Shepherd says that the stigma that surrounds metal illness needs to be eliminated. Since people are unwill-ing to admit they have a problem, due to the perceptions surrounding mental illness, they are often unable to get the help they need to overcome these issues. “People are reluctant to come for-ward, and that is something we need to change.” Shepherd also notes that there are services in the community and online to help people who need it. He notes that Mental Health First Aid training is one of the things which can help people recognize signs and help people who need it. “There are lots of resources out there, and I encourage people to get familiar with them.”

Diabetes education expands People affected with diabetes now have more access to Diabetes Educa-tion Services in Sunrise Health Region. The region has announced diabetes ed-ucation is available by appointments, coordinated out of the Yorkton Public Health Offi ce and appointments are available in Yorkton, Foam Lake and Langenburg. Diabetes education sessions are ap-proximately one hour in duration, dur-ing which time the person living with diabetes meets with a diabetes nurse educator and a diabetes nutrition ed-ucator. The client may have a family member or other support person at-tend the session with them. “Diabetes is a balancing act of blood sugars, activity levels and diet. Our clients are amazing people and learn to become experts in self management. We listen carefully to the client and use our knowledge to help the client based on their needs and lifestyle,” says Diabetes Nurse Educator, Karen

Legge. At each session the diabetes nurse educator will go over laboratory test results with the client and will discuss with the client optimum treatments available. The diabetes nutrition edu-cator learns about diet preferences of the client and suggests ways to adjust diet and activity levels to stabilize blood sugar levels. “People living with diabetes need support; it can be very lonely trying to manage the condition on their own,” adds Legge. “We arm the client with information to better manage their own condition so that they can lead ac-tive, healthy lives.” Diabetes appointments are coordi-nated through the Yorkton offi ce by calling 306-786-0648 or 306-786-0649. Clients can be seen at the Yorkton Public Health offi ce or in Langenburg or Foam Lake outreach clinics. Refer-rals can be made by the client or by a health care professional.

Nine exciting perfor-mances have been lined up and now is your chance to get a great deal on see-ing them all. The Yorkton Arts Council has announced the 2013-14 Stars for Saskatchewan concert series and it doesn’t disappoint. Plenty of care goes into selecting the performers who will come to Yorkton says Debbie Hayward, Performing Arts Coordinator. While some of the names making the list may not be instantly recognizable to all, it does not mean each show won’t be fantastic. “Come to the concert, and chances are you’ll walk away with a new favorite! It’s great to watch a live performance on stage,” she says. “Having a series of con-certs such as Stars for Saskatchewan, right here in Yorkton, is another important facet of the “diamond” that is our terrific community!” An active arts scene, adds Hayward, helps make Yorkton a more rounded, interesting, vibrant community. Indeed it does. Making the list this year are the following shows: • MEMORY LANE (Sept. 18, 8 p.m.) Memory Lane has audiences “dan-cin’ in the aisles and singin’ along” to all the classics from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, from artists like Buddy Holly, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Roy Orbison, Glenn Miller, Doris Day, The Platters, The Beatles and many more. The 8-piece band is fronted by Irish born Stephen Maguire who has been named one of CBC Saskatchewan’s Future 40. www.stephen-maguirelive.com •JEFFREY STRA-KER (Oct. 24, 8 p.m.) Singer-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker performs 100+ shows a year across Canada and beyond. Starting with childhood piano lessons in a small Saskatchewan town of 300, he’s gone on to release several studio albums, record for CBC Radio’s Canada Live, reach the top 10 on Much More Music and along the way has left critics rav-ing. He recently per-formed the sold-out

orchestral debut of his music with the Regina Symphony Orchestra. “Straker was simply spec-tacular… demonstrating showmanship in every sense of the word.” He has performed at national showcase events includ-ing Canadian Music Week, Breakout West, JunoFest, and the National Arts Centre with Canadian Musician Magazine saying “Very much an artist to watch”. The Chicago Free Press has written “Rufus Wainwright, as well as k.d. lang are among the Canadians making essen-tial and beautiful music. Add Jeffery Straker to that list.” www.jeffstrak-er.com •GORDIE MAC KEE-MAN and his rhythm boys (Nov. 17, 2 p.m.) Hailing from Prince Edward Island, the award-winning Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys serve up old-time roots music with an energy level that prac-tically yanks you out of your seat by the collar. If ever someone was deserv-ing of the nickname “Crazy Legs”, it just might be Gordie MacKeeman. His thrill-ing dance style mixed with great bluegrass vocals, Peter Cann’s blis-tering guitar solos, the lively multi-instrumental talents of Thomas Webb and Mark Geddes, make Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys a com-plete entertainment pack-age. www.gordiemackee man.com • JIMMY RANKIN(Dec. 4, 8 p.m.) A well-known solo artist, Jimmy also doubles as the front man of Canadian Celtic heroes, The Rankin Family. Between the two roles, the singer-song-writer has amassed many awards and nominations including five JUNO awards and 27 East Coast Music awards, to name a few. On this tour, he will be sharing seasonal selec-tions from his own Christmas recording “Tinsel Town”, along with favourites from his exten-sive solo and Rankin Family catalogue. “The challenge was to take these great songs and to interpret them in a new and interesting way,” he says. From his rockabilly take on “Jingle Bell Rock” to his stunning, stripped-down version of “White

Christmas”, Jimmy does indeed render his special magic to these cherished standards. www.jimmy rankin.com • MUSICA INTIMA (Prarie Debut) (Feb. 1, 8 p.m.) Internationally renowned for their warm and engaging stage pres-ence, impeccable musi-cianship, and unique per-spective on ensemble singing, Musica Intima has earned a reputation as Canada’s most excit-ing vocal ensemble. But what makes Musica Intima truly unique is that the singers rehearse, perform and function as a collective. In rehearsal they self-direct, exchang-ing ideas freely while exploring their own musi-cal creativity. In perfor-mance, they engage the audience with a sponta-neity and directness all their own. Founded in 1992, Musica Intima has graced the stages through-out Canada, the USA, Ireland and Denmark and is frequently heard on national and interna-tional radio broadcasts. “The most exciting small choir in the land.”: John Fraser/National Post. www.prairiedebut.com • JOHN GRACIE (Mar. 2, 2 p.m.) John will be performing excerpts from his Vintage Vegas show, featuring songs from his latest album “Live from the Flamingo”, which is a tribute to the music of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.

Infinitus is dedi-cated to quality outreach and often performs for schools, nursing homes, hospitals, Native reserves, fundraisers, and correc-tional facilities. Since 2006, they have per-formed over 500 outreach concerts throughout North America. www.infinitusmusic.com • GUY AND NADINA (Prarie Debut) (Apr. 14, 8 p.m.) The Guy & Nadina Duo is renowned for art-istry, musicianship, engaging performances

and fashion. The duo has performed throughout North America, been fea-tured on numerous recordings and broadcast internationally. From their beginnings as farm kids to the international concert stages of the world, multi-instrumen-talist (trumpet & piano) Guy Few and bassoonist Nadina Mackie Jackson’s lives weave a fascinating story. Let the Guy & Nadina Duo take you on a musical journey with its unique program titled Carnet de voyages (The Travel Book). An album of audio snapshots, this program celebrates some of the duo’s favourite musical works, compli-mented by personal sto-ries of travel and touring which inspire the theme. www.prairiedebut.com • EVERYTHING FITZ (May 6, 8 p.m.) Everything Fitz is a six piece family band featur-ing four of Canada’s fin-est young musicians and

their parents. With roots in the Canadian old-time fiddle tradition and Ottawa Valley step danc-ing, their unique stage show combines a variety of musical styles: every-thing from traditional jigs and reels, bluegrass, swing, Celtic, and gospel as well as novelty num-bers and dance routines. The group features Julie (24), the 2009 & 2010 Canadian Grandmasters Fiddle Champion – not to be outdone by her young-est sibling Tom (20), who won this prestigious title in 2012. Pat (25) dances and plays percussion and Kerry (23) dances, plays fiddle, mandolin and key-board.

All shows take place at the Anne Portnuff Theatre in the Yorkton Regional High School. “Buying a season sub-scription at the early bird price is a terrific value, even if someone can’t make it to every concert,” points out Hayward. “Going by single ticket prices, a season subscrib-er can miss three or four concerts and still not be losing money. This is good news for our snowbirds who might be away in January or February and are worried that they might miss some con-certs.” Stars for Saskatchewan series tickets also make great gifts for anniversa-ries, birthdays, or Christmas gifts. “For the person who ‘has everything,’ a Stars subscription gives them a whole season of great entertainment. We have a wonderful, varied line-up, so there is something for everyone!”

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s

off to work we go

If ever there was a lesson in karma, this is it and it really does go to show – “what goes around comes around.” I was reading a touching story the other day that was a refreshing reminder, there are still good people out there. It was also a remind-er that we can never, or rather we shouldn’t, judge a book by it’s cover no matter how tattered and torn it may be. The story (and this is a very condensed version) obvi-ously unfolded in a larger center. A homeless and disheveled looking, old man sat alone on a street corner. Nicely dressed and appearing well-to-do, a woman approached him with a big smile. She asked the man if he was hungry. Accustomed to being ridiculed and usu-ally overlooked, his reply was cold and on the sarcastic side. Why would someone like this woman want to talk to the likes of him after all? His reply didn’t deter her. When she couldn’t get the man up from his seated posi-tion herself, she enlisted the help of a police officer who was passing by. “See that cafeteria over there,” she said. “I’m going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile.” In spite of his protests, the home-less man went with the woman and the officer. Inside the cafe, the trio was greeted by an unhappy looking manager who said the there was no place in his

cafe for someone who looked like the homeless man. It was then the woman identi-fied herself as a wealthy CEO. She pointed out the fact her company spends boat loads of money for cor-porate events at the cafe. The manager quickly changed his tune. The woman then proceeded to take a seat beside the homeless man. She asked

him if her remembered her. He had a vague recollection but couldn’t say from where he had seen her. Years back, she herself was on the streets. Cold and hungry she wandered into the very same cafe. She asked the man behind the counter if she could work for food. He handed her a coffee and pointed her to a seat in the corner (where they were seated now) and told her to hang tight he would bring her a meal. He paid for it himself. The man behind the counter was the homeless man. “I will never forget what you did for me that day,” said the woman. That day she found a job and turned her life around. Now it was her chance to do the same for him. Not only did the homeless man get a meal that day, but he was given the opportunity to work and even to have a warm roof over his head. Now this is how people SHOULD behave. It truly warms the heart and should serve as a lesson to all of us. You just never know what life has in store.

The way I see it...

I may have mentioned it before, but I play video games. The primary reason for this is because they’re a bit more involving and rewarding than television, which I watch only sparingly. So it stands to reason that I watched with some interest when the new Microsoft console, the XBox One, was revealed. After all, it might have exciting and rewarding games that I would want to purchase, and hopefully a bigger, more powerful box could manage new experiences unlike what I have seen before. This is not what happened. Instead, they unveiled a cable box. It’s a really nice cable box, one which works on voice commands and can integrate with all sorts of entertainment sources. It can even play games, though they didn’t announce anything we haven’t seen before, just sequels to established series’. They also announced a television show, based on the popular Halo series, which seems counter-intuitive. If I wanted Halo, I could just pop in the disc and play Halo, they have made numerous titles in the series. If I wanted to be a passive consumer of content, there are already a ton of television shows I have not watched, many of which are probably better than a cash-in series based on a popular game franchise. The announcement seemed to be Microsoft wishing they were actually a cable operator.

Which is somehow worse than Sony’s earlier announcement of the Playstation 4, where they revealed they actually wanted to be Facebook. Their console launch was filled with words like social and network, and it even has a “share” button so you can send all your friends videos of your gaming accom-plishments, just in case you are tired of having friends. However, to their credit, they did actually announce some games, most of which were not excit-ing, but they were at least present, and acknowledged to be a major part of why this expensive piece of hard-ware exists. It was not an inspiring presentation, it did not make me tempted to start getting my pennies

together, but at least it made sense. So what’s going on here, why is everyone so afraid to put the game before the game console? The problem is that the current hardware is old, so sales are start-ing to slip. New hardware, however, is not going to be a major advance anymore, so new gimmicks are needed to get people excited and willing to part with their dollars. Unfortunately, nobody actually knows what people want anymore. Nintendo attempted to add a giant extra screen to its Wii U hardware, and it has sold poorly. Sony and Microsoft are hoping that their focus on social networking and things that aren’t games are going to be their big tickets, respectively. As someone who buys this stuff, my perspective is that everyone is barking up the wrong trees. I want fun games, that’s it. If you can provide that, I might buy your machine. I don’t want to share any-thing, I don’t want a new cable box, I don’t want a big cumbersome screen. I just want something that’s fun to interact with, and allows me to do something I can-not do in regular life. It doesn’t have to be violent, it doesn’t have to be realistic, and it would be best if it was neither of those things. I’m looking for a fun, unique and exciting experience. Unfortunately, that seems to be taking a back seat to dull and unneces-sary gimmicks.

If you want to work, there’s never been more opportunity in the prov-ince than there is now. Employment opportunities in Saskatchewan continue to be plenti-ful – and according to the provincial government job numbers are on the rise. The Saskjobs website saw an increase in job vacancies of 9.26 per cent in April over March and an increase of 12.58 per cent year-over-year. Postings for summer jobs are abundant as well with close to five per cent of the postings in April tar-geted for students., “We know that Saskjobs is the trusted resource for those seeking permanent employment but it is also an excellent resource for students looking to land a great summer job in Saskatchewan,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd says. “We continue to see strong numbers of mobile traffic to the site, which tells us that students are becoming aware of the great opportunities on Saskjobs.” The majority of job postings in April were in the trades, transport and construction (35.2 per cent) and sales and service (30.5 per cent) cat-egories. And 4.5 per cent of the opportunities posted were identified as Summer Student Jobs. Visits to saskjobs.ca remain steady at 1,134,078 in April; this is an increase of 20,124 visits over March, 2013. This is also a year over year increase of 13.8 per cent from 996,565 visits in April, 2012. Job postings were placed in 350 communities. “Our economy continues to thrive and contribute to a great quality of life in Saskatchewan,” Boyd con-cludes. “Whether you are a student eager to make some good money this summer, or you are looking for some-thing more permanent, Saskatche-wan is sure to have what you are looking for and Saskjobs.ca is the place to find it.” Happy job hunting!

To the Editor:

Poverty has been stubbornly persistent in Canada for the gen-eration raising young kids. Ten per cent of families headed by 25 to 34 year olds were poor in 1976. Today, the rate is around 12 per cent. If we want to reduce child pover-ty, we must learn from our success at reducing poverty among retirees. A generation ago, 29 per cent of B.C. seniors were poor – more than any other age group. Now seniors report the lowest rate of poverty: around 6 per cent. Why have we achieved such posi-tive reductions for retirees, but not for kids? In the 1970s, we started building social policies for entire genera-tions of seniors. We built medical care to reduce dramatically the risk of bankruptcy for seniors who wind up sick in the hospital. We built the public pension system to provide retirement income on which all se-niors can count. Most seniors ben-efi t from these programs, so it is in their interest to keep the benefi ts high enough to make a difference for them. This is a big part of the reason why Canadian governments spend around $45,000 per retiree each year. At this level, benefi ts are generous enough to raise most se-niors struggling with low-incomes above the poverty line, although there remains some work to do. Our poverty reduction efforts for kids have been very different. Be-yond schools and hospitals, we gen-erally avoid policies that benefi t the entire generation raising children in favour of targeting assistance to poor families. When we focus on the poor, the support provided is purposefully stingy because we worry that higher benefi ts will lead poor parents to opt for welfare over work. This is part of the reason why

governments spend only around $12,000 per person under age 45 – a fi gure that includes all the money we allocate for schools, post-second-ary, medical care for young people, insurance against job loss, and fam-ily supports. This comparison makes clear that Canadians don’t reduce pov-erty much when we focus only on the poor. We reduce poverty with policies that benefi t entire genera-tions. So to reduce child poverty, we need to address the squeeze with which most in the generation raising young kids now struggle. Young families are squeezed for time because two younger earn-ers barely bring home today what one breadwinner did in the1970s, despite many households moving from 40 hour work weeks to closer to 80 hours. They are squeezed for income because housing prices are up over 80 per cent, even though young people often live in condos, or trade yards for time-consuming commutes. They are squeezed for services like child care, which are essential for parents who must work to deal with rising costs, but are in short supply and cost more than university. The good news is that we can re-duce this time, income and service squeeze. Two actions are critical. 1. Many families today struggle for parents to share a year at home with a new baby, whereas it was common a generation ago for fami-lies to be able to afford for a par-ent to remain home several years. We can solve this time squeeze by making parental leave more gen-erous, adding benefi ts for the self-employed, and adding some extra time for dads to get more involved without compromising moms’ op-portunities to breastfeed. The new policy could set a minimum benefi t

equal to today’s maximum – and in the process eliminate poverty for families with children under age 18 months. 2. A generation ago, it was far less common for families to use child care because it was more affordable for a parent to remain home, and there was less concern about gen-der equality. Today, many families struggle to fi nd and afford these services. We can change this by building more spaces, and reducing parental fees to $10/day. For fami-lies with incomes below $40,000, there will be no fee. By eliminating barriers to parental employment, these changes will lift out of pov-erty about three-quarters of fami-lies with kids age 18 months to six years. Because these two recommenda-tions will dramatically reduce the number of poor families, govern-ments can use their existing anti-poverty budgets to make two more changes. We could increase by 50 per cent the shelter allowance for families on welfare. And we could triple the National Child Benefi t Supplement to raise all working poor parents above the poverty line. These last two recommendations will eliminate most child poverty that remains for kids under age six after building better parental leave and child care. The cost of these solutions? Not as much as you might think. Annu-al government spending per person under age 45 will need to rise from $12,000 a year to just over $13,000, while leaving spending per retiree around where it is. That’s the goal of the Generation Squeeze campaign (gensqueeze.ca). Join us in building a Canada that works for all generations.

To the Editor: According to Canada Press, and oth-er newspapers, the Canadian Cattle-men’s Association (CCA) wants the Federal Government to approve the irradiation of beef (supposedly to kill dangerous E-Coli). Irradiation is a process by which a food product is exposed to high doses of radiation to kill bacteria, parasites, and mold. In the U.S. three types of ionizing radia-tion are permitted: gamma rays, high-energy electrons and X-rays. I am told that both X-rays and gamma rays involve high energy photons which, when they strike a molecule, can dis-rupt that molecule. All kinds of other molecules can be created which may or may not be harmful. However, sometimes all it takes is one harmful molecule to randomly cause a cancer. Doug O’Halloran, president of the United Food and Commercial Work-ers Union Local 401, says the process-ing line at the XL Foods Lakeside plant in Brooks moves too quickly. Between 300 and 320 carcasses go by workers every hour and employees make between 3,000 and 4,000 cuts a shift which has resulted in consider-ably less time in which to make sure knives are sanitized after each cut. Cattle are supposed to be washed before they enter to ensure their fur is free of manure, but sometimes the water is not hot enough to get off all the excrement, resulting in that excre-ment backing up on the killing fl oor forcing workers to traipse through the waste and track it through the plant. Dr. Patricia Whisnant, a graduate of the University of Tennessee College Of Veterinary Medicine (1981) states that “60 per cent of the largest United States meat plants failed to meet fed-eral food safety regulations for pre-venting E. Coli bacteria in their prod-ucts.” What are the stats in Canada? As Whisnant states, “Irradiation may provide an excuse not to tackle the real sources and practices respon-sible for the contamination of beef… mainly the fi lth in the confi ned envi-ronment of the feedlot and the fecal contamination that occurs in the high speed slaughter facility.” As Whisnant further states “Our efforts in the meat industry should be aimed at removing the fi lth from the source, not just mak-ing cow manure safer to eat ” Source - (Clean Beef or irradiated Dirty Beef? A Veterinarian’s Perspective) While the CCA says its proposal calls for irradiated beef to be clearly labeled, irradiation is just a band-aid on the problem. It is better to deal with the origins of the problem and not irradiate at all.

Deal with the origins

A good way to end child poverty

To the Editor:

Canadian taxpayers are now paying more for less thanks to MP Garry Breitkreuz and the Conser-vative Party’s costly changes to our national census. The results are in and their de-cision to eliminate the mandatory long-form census has produced much lower-quality data that will often not be usable at the local level. In fact, Statistics Canada withheld data on over 1,100 Ca-nadian municipalities, including Beaver Flat, because the num-bers were just too unreliable. The government spent an extra $30 million to collect this inac-

curate data compared to the tra-ditional, proven census. What a waste! How will a community know where a food bank is needed if we don’t know which neighbourhoods have the most poverty? How will school boards know where adult language training is most needed without knowing where immi-grants are settling? We just don’t know. The errors in the data will only get worse over time. At least this time Statistics Canada can use the last full census as an anchor to correct some of the problems. Next time, that option won’t do much good.

The problem is spreading: gov-ernments and the private sector use data from the census to ad-just their surveys if a group’s re-sponse rate is low. Now all these other statistics will be less reli-able. Mr. Breitkreuz and the Con-servatives are asking us to start making big, expensive decisions blindly, without the basic data that is essential to good planning. And they’re charging us more to do it. It’s irresponsible and we’re paying the price.

Breitkreuz/Conservatives leave us fl ying blind

To the Editor:

Despite being promised endless federal largess if they voted Conservative and despite being threat-ened with equally end-less abuse and neglect if they didn’t, voters in yes-terday’s by-election in Labrador resoundingly rejected Stephen Harper and elected a new Liberal Member of Parliament. A former member of the provincial legislature in St. John’s, Yvonne Jones captured nearly 50 per cent of the popular vote, trouncing the impugned Conservative candidate, Peter Penashue. Penashue took Labra-dor in the 2011 general election by the tiny mar-gin of 79 votes. To prop him up, Mr. Harper gave him a Cabinet seat, but

over the ensuing two years his track record as Minister of Intergov-ernmental Affairs was essentially nil. He be-came best known for the illegal fundraising and spending practices that enshrouded his 2011 campaign. This past March, after months of denials and excuses, Penashue sud-denly resigned from both the House of Commons and Cabinet, admitting the “irregularities” that tainted his election. Be-fore any investigation could be fi nished and the full truth disclosed, Mr. Harper declared his everlasting faith in Pa-nashue, called a snap by-election and appointed him as the “new” Conser-vative candidate. Labrador voters clear-

ly saw through that at-tempted white-wash. They rejected all the bribes and threats. They voted strongly against il-legal campaign conduct. And they voted for new hope for the future. The Liberal Caucus in Ottawa has thus been enlarged. The House of Commons has gained an articulate new MP. And Justin Trudeau has earned his fi rst by-elec-tion victory. For Liberals, this is an opportunity to savour a sense of renewal and growth. But it’s also a time to read carefully what voters are saying with their ballots. They want higher standards in political life. They want candi-dates they can trust. They want MPs who will

stand-up for their rid-ings and speak truth to power – especially the all-consuming power in the Prime Minister’s Of-fi ce. The public’s trust is a precious thing. You can’t just expect it or demand it. You have to earn it, and always treat it with the greatest respect. That’s exactly what Justin Trudeau is now working so hard to do – reaching far beyond the partisan games that dominate the political bubble around Ottawa, and rallying Canadians around a better vision of what this country has the capacity to become. It’s all built on hope and trust.

Planning, paperwork, and a little time may be all that’s standing between your organization and the funding it needs to benefit seniors. Once again, the government’s popular New Horizons for Seniors pro-gram has announced its launch date. As of May 15, 2013, eligible organizations could apply to receive fed-eral grants and contributions. This funding is specifically for organizations that are actively involved in assisting seniors to make a difference in the lives of others and their communities. Many such organizations who applied for grants through last year’s program have now received their funding. I’m happy to note that those communities and organizations included several in the constituency of Yorkton-Melville. Seniors clubs and centres in Esterhazy, Lintlaw, Preeceville and Stenen each received up to ten thou-sand dollars to improve and/or repair their facilities. Grayson, Invermay, and Tantallon each received from eleven to fourteen thousand dollars for renovations

and programming. Organizations in Yorkton and Prairie River were granted between sixteen and twenty thousand each, in one case to replace a roof and another to build for the future. Seniors facilities in Kamsack, Lemberg, and Rama, all received larger grants of between twenty-three and twenty-four thou-sand dollars for facility upgrades and programming. And an at-large organization received a similar amount

for outreach and educa-tion to further their mis-sion of preventing elder abuse. To be eligible for funding, projects must be led or inspired by seniors and address one or more of the following five program objectives: • promoting volunteer-ism among seniors and other generations;

• engaging seniors in the community through the mentoring of others; • expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse; • supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors; • providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors. To determine whether or not your organization and project may qualify for New Horizons funding, I encourage you to visit: www.hrsdc.ca, then click on seniors and funding on the menu. New Horizons for Seniors funding reaches out to almost any organiza-tion that has a strong seniors element built into its programming. Some of those (but not all) are: • not-for-profit organizations; • for-profit enterprises; • coalitions and networks; • municipal governments; • band/tribal councils and other Aboriginal organi-zations. Organizations may apply yearly, and people are encouraged to be creative in their applications and intent to use this funding. As an example, one of the projects funded in Yorkton-Melville in previous years was the creation of a computer skills workshop that incorporated the skills of local high school students to teach computer skills to seniors. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to enhance the lives of some of our most generous citizens. Forms and submission dates are available at: www.hrsdc.gc.ca. You may also call 1-800-277-9914 and ask for informa-tion about the New Horizons Program.

When couples find out they are expecting a new baby, many take every measure possible to create a baby Einstein. Society has no shortage of prod-ucts aiding in child devel-opment. This includes ‘prenatal education sys-tems’ that claim to give Junior an intellectual, social, creative and emo-tional advantage. Once baby is born, par-ents rush to keep their child ahead of the other children by enrolling them into three or four different activities before they can even walk. Activities such as gymnastics, baby bal-let, and baby videos are very common. Having your

child in so many ‘helpful’ activities may not be as helpful as previously thought. It is a full time job driving your child to all these activities. It is also financially challeng-ing and may prove to be an overload for your child. Do simple tasks at home. For example, sorting buttons from pasta will develop many of the same skills children need for starting school.

At Home Activities:

• Play with cards. • Bake and let your child measure the ingredi-ents. • Play outside with your child. • Read books about feel-ings together.

• Sing songs that are familiar to you as well as your child. Introduce new songs for your child to learn. • Arrange play dates with other children. • Tell stories and take part in imaginative play. • Practice active listen-ing. • Be available to your child. • Provide real experi-ences. • Have an honest and open relationship with your child.

Jump Start Day One in three Canadian kids are left on the side of the rink In Canada, one in three families cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers (Vision Critical 2011). Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate but she didn’t think it would be possi-ble coming from a fami-ly of four kids and fac-ing the struggles of a parent battling illness. Through a family sup-port service in her com-munity, Marlee and her family were introduced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. The Jumpstart program supported Marlee’s skating lessons and skate Canada member-ship through financial assistance. A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal... to one-day join the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream. “Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed to enter some very chal-lenging provincial and national figure skating competitions in Canada,” says Marlee Stein. “With all the les-sons I have taken, I hope it opens up oppor-tunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.” “The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives,” adds Johnny Misley, President, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “Jumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers so financially disadvan-taged children can sim-ply participate, and ultimately pursue their dreams.” Kids who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short and long term benefits including increased self esteem, greater self con-fidence, leadership skills, and better grades. Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get kids into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of reg-istration, equipment and/or transportation, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped 570,000 (and counting) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice. Help kids from your community by visiting Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Atmosphere, Mark’s and Canadian Tire Gas+ stores as well as Pita Pit locations throughout the month of May to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball, with 100 per cent of all donations going to help kids play.

Celebrating 130 Years of Bringing Family & Friends Together

Unlike the sometimes lengthy terms of president in the earlier years of the Association, a standard term of two years as president has become the norm. These years saw Doug Poier, Bill Wright, Lyle Walsh, Brian Berrns, Shaun Morin and Dave Nussbaumer serve in the position.

Lyle Just retired from the board of directors in 2003 - after 48 years of service. That same year a decision was made to reduce the size of the board from 25 to 20 directors.

Honorary presidents continued to be named, and it became practice to name a different individual each year. Thosehonoured in these years were: Gerald Grunert, HelenNorman, Gord Harris, Ruth Shaw, Bill Bucsis, RossGilbert, Rudy Els, Don Harris, Stan Stephenson and George Nussbaumer.

Fundraising has always been a concern for theAssociation, and in 1997 the Board decided to try a cashlottery, with grand prize of $100,000, along with somelesser prizes. The tickets are $100, and the Associationoffers the Band Boosters an opportunity to make somemoney as well, by allowing them to sell tickets at acommission of $10 per ticket. This first try goes well, and a profit is shown of just over $38,000.

The next year the Board decided to try a home lottery, which was also successful - a net profit of about $80,000. By 2001, the revenue on the home lottery has dropped to under $24,000, and in 2003 the decision is made to go with a Christmas Cash Lottery instead. That lottery suffered a loss, making the Board decide to leave the lottery concept alone for the present.

Harvest Showdown has become a huge event for theAssociation. Sponsorship support is very high for the event, and profits are generally good. In 1999 Urban County Dodge signed on a a new sponsor for the Showdown Rodeo, and in 2003 Morris Industries committed to three years of apossible ten year agreement to become the show sponsor - with the event now known as Morris Harvest Showdown.

In 1997 the Yorkton Exhibition was honoured with the award as Canada’s Regional Fair of the Year.

In 2002, a request was made by the Century of CareCommittee, a group organized to celebrate health care in the region, to use their logo in the Exhibition’s promotional materials. The board had some concerns about whether this would diminish the impact of use of their sponsors’ logos, but in the end decided to use the Century of Care logo on their summer fair promotional material.

This year, 2005, the Board has agreed to call the parade the Yorkton Exhibition Centennial Parade, in recognition of the province’s centennial.

The Farm and Leisure Show, which had been hosted by the Exhibition Association with the Sunrise Lions Club and the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce for a number of years also saw some changes. In 2000 the four day show was reduced to three days, and in 2001 the show’s name was changed to Spring Expo. In October of 2002, theExhibition was notified by the Chamber of Commerce that it did not wish to participate in Spring Expo anymore. A meeting was called with what was now the Yorkton Lions

Club to discuss the options. A decision was made to carry on with some changes - a free gate, an increase to display costs to recoup lost revenue from gate admissions, and the youth events would be dropped.

A five year proposal put forward by the ExhibitionAssociation in 1996 to become partners with the SnoRiders for their annual show in October was accepted. Theagreement called for a varying percentage split with the group for the first four years, with a flat fee to the SnoRiders in year five. The Exhibition’s expectations aboutpossible profits from the show are not met, and in the final year the Exhibition Association shows a loss on the event due to the promised payment to the Sno Riders. In 2001, the Board votes to discontinue the partnership on Winter Wonderland.

A potential $15,000 grant for Pari-mutuel Horse Racing in 2000 convinces the Board to apply to host pari-mutuel racing. The grant is received, and two days of racing is held during the summer fair. In 2002 the Board considers putting on an additional ten days of racing, but doesn’t receive the hoped for additional grant, and drops the plan. In 2004 the Association hosts four days of pari-mutuel racing.

The manager’s position has seen a lot of change inrecent years. These years started with Richard Okrainec asmanager, who was followed by Cathy Dlugan. SusanBuckle and then Don Kunkel have acted as joint manager of the Agriplex and the Exhibition Association.

In 2002 a group of six was inducted into theAssociation’s senate: George Nussbaumer, Merv Kuryluk, Don Miskiman, Bill Wright, Stan Stephenson and DaveFarrell.

Through these recent years, the Yorkton ExhibitionAssociation saw further changes with respect to theirrelationship with the City of Yorkton. The agreemententered in 1976, which transferred all the land owned by the Exhibition to the City was revisited. That agreement was entered at the conclusion of their joint project to build the Parkland Agriplex.

In mid 2000, the Board received a proposal to establish

a new entity, the Parkland Agriplex Inc., which would get title to the properties, and employ a general manager for the operation of both the physical facilities and the programs and activities of the Exhibition Association. One of theinstigating factors of this proposal was that both theAgriplex and the Exhibition had found themselves without a general manager. The original proposal indicated that the Exhibition would maintain their existing priority status for use of the facility for their events for 21 days per year at no cost to the Exhibition. It also indicated that representation on the board of this new entity would be equal for the city and the Exhibition.

By the time the proposal is fleshed out later that year, the board of the new Parkland Agriplex Inc. is to have ninedirectors - five from the City of Yorkton and four from the Exhibition. The two groups are, however, to have equal say in determining employment, dismissal, job specifications and compensation of employees.

In November of 2000, the Association’s executiverecommends this agreement to the Board, and the motion in favour of proceeding with the agreement is passed on a 10 to 8 vote.

Details of the precise agreement to be signed are slow in being settled, and it is not until March 27, 2002 that the Board of the Exhibition Association votes on a finalagreement, with City Council approving the agreement in early April. The vote of the Association Board at this time is unanimous. The new agreement terminates the 1976agreement, and the two parties agree to jointly operate the Parkland Agriplex for 99 years or for so long as the Exhi-bition Association continues to operate, whichever comes first. This agreement, unlike the last, gives the Exhibition Association a say in the management of the facilities.

The Exhibition Association is allowed, as before, 21 days use per year of the Parkland Agriplex excluding theswimming pool facility, free of charge.

The new agreement comes up for discussion again thefollowing year, when in February, Mayor Phil DeVosattends a meeting of the Exhibition Association executive, andindicates that he feels the amalgamation is not working. He suggests the the Agriplex and the Exhibition both go back to individual management, and proposes giving back to the Exhibition Association the land, excluding the parcel the Agriplex sits on, and allowing the Exhibition Association to continue its free 21 day use of the Agriplex, including the new facility which is to be built.

While Mayor DeVos appeared on his own behalf inFebruary, in March the entire City Council met with the Board’s executive to discuss essentially this sameproposal. They indicate that the majority, although not all ofcouncil, favours the proposal, but the board of the ExhibitionAssociation votes not to pursue this proposal.

In 2003 the Board agrees, as is necessary under the terms of this agreement, with the Parkland AgriplexManagement Board to sell a parcel of land the the Tribal Council Education Centre and direct the proceeds to the Agriplex expansion project.

1996 - 2005 A NEW AGREEMENT WITH THE CITYDonna Taylor ~author~

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting set-tled in Hazel Dell.

It seems that Marvin the Moose has decided to have his meals some-where else. He probably decided that he needed hay that has higher alfalfa content. He is more than likely hang-ing out with some beefy bovine friends. Speaking of beef, Mr. Mikes Steakhouse Casual has just opened in Yorkton. My wife and I happened to be in Yorkton a couple of days after they opened, and because I love a good steak, we decided to try it out! We were not dis-appointed! Great ambi-ance! We forgive the wait that we had for the steaks. Marion likes her steak medium well and I like mine blue rare, and that’s exactly what

we got, broiled to per-fection! The manager came over to our table to make sure the steaks were as ordered. We can highly recommend Mr. Mikes Steakhouse! We have satellite internet service through Sasktel and xplornet. They told us that we have to upgrade to a new satellite for better service. Unfortunately, the signal for the new dish will be blocked by our beautiful tree in the middle of the yard, and we have to cut down the tree! I’m on the waiting list for a new hip, so the tree felling task fell (pun intended) on my poor wife. However, I’m really good at supervis-ing and barking orders, so I’ll set myself in a chair outside, at a safe distance from where the lumberjack wanna be will be working, and observe. She suggested cutting the tree down in one piece, branches and

all, but I believe that it is much safer to cut it down branch by branch, and then the main trunk in smaller sections. In the far reaches of the Canadian wilder-ness, a new arrival at the lumberjack camp was settling down for the night in the men’s dormitory with the rest of the guys after his first day on the job. The lights were turned off and suddenly he hears one guy call out “Twenty three!” There is a roar of laughter from all the beds around the room, and another guy calls out “Forty seven,” more laughter follows. This goes on for a few more minutes until finally everyone settles down and goes to sleep. The next morning, the newbie asks one of the other lumberjacks what all the laughter and numbers was about. He is told that they have all been there for so long at

this camp, that they know all the jokes, and that each joke is merely given a number, so when it comes to joke telling after lights-out, it is just a simple case of saying the number of the joke that is being told. So, that evening, after lights-out, the same thing happens. “Eighteen!” And there is general laughter. “Thirty five,” more of the same. Not wanting to be left out, the new-bie decides to join in the joke telling and calls out “One hundred and six!” Not only is there laugh-ter, but the lights are flashing on and off, guys are rolling on the floor laughing, cheering, and clapping, a regular standing ovation! The next morning the newbie talks to one of the guys and says “Well, I’m glad you guys enjoyed the joke session so much last night, but I have to admit I’m puz-

zled as to why there was so much laughter when I told the one numbered One Hundred and Six, how come?” His buddy replied “Oh, so that was you! Yeah, we loved it! You see, we haven’t heard that one before!” The world now has a new pope, and the fol-lowing scenario occurred on a city bus in a large Canadian city: A shabby looking man entered the bus and took a seat next to a priest. The man reeked of alcohol, and a bottle of vodka was pok-ing out of one of his coat pockets. His clothes were dirty and he had lipstick on his cheek and collar. He took out a newspaper and start-ed to read. After a little while he turned to the priest and asked: “Tell me Padre, do you know what causes joint inflammation?” The priest, who was disgusted by the man’s

liquor breath and shab-by appearance, in a thundering voice usual for his sermons, answered: “Joint inflam-mation is a direct result of an immoral way of life, cavorting with loose women, irresponsible alcohol consumption and total contempt of the Lord’s command-ments!!” “Bloody hell,” muttered the man under his breath, and turned back to reading his newspaper. The priest thought about what he had said, and regretted having been as sharp in his voice. He turned to the man and said: “I’m sorry; I did not mean to be so sharp and con-demning. How long have you suffered from joint inflammation?” “Oh, I don’t have joint inflammation Padre,” said the man, “I just read here in the paper that the new Pope is suffering from it...”

Con’t from Page 9.

The May campaign will be celebrated on Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 25, with fun activities taking place at participating Canadian Tire Retail stores across the country, including charity barbecues or GoClean waterless car washes. Activities will also be taking place in Yorkton where the city officially declared May 25 as Canadian Tire Jump Start Day. Since the program’s inception $117,000 has pro-vided over 1,000 local children the opportunity to turn the statistics around. Two special bbq events have been planned in con-junction with Jump Start Day – one today, May 23 during the offi cial Yorkton store grand opening and one on May 25. Money raised stays local. The event not only raises funds but also awareness within the community that the program is available to the families who need it the most. Representatives will be on hand to answer questions.

Jump Start DayWINNERS – On May 3, St. Michael’s School hosted the Christ the Teacher Catholic Schools Oratory Competition. Grades 4 to 6 recited poetry. Grades 7 and 8 wrote and presented persuasive speeches. The top three participants in each category were chosen from Yorkton Catholic schools to participate in this division competition. The divi-sion extends a huge thank you to adju-dicators: Shannon Hahn, Bob Maloney and Greg Ottenbreit. Pictured are the CTTCS Division Oratory winners: Front Row (l-r): Poetry – First Place: Shastyna Chambers (St. Henry’s Jr.) Second Place: Tess Jendrasheske (St. Michael’s – missing from photo) Third Place: Riley Ooi (St. Paul’s). Back Row (l-r): Speeches – First Place: Tatiana Kyliuk (St. Michael’s) Second Place: Mackenzie Dull (St. Paul’s) Third Place: Alexis Guy (St. Mary’s).

Depending on the cli-mate in the area you live in, your outdoor cooking season has just started, you have already been doing it for a while now, or you have never stopped. Although many home chefs have been utilizing propane or nat-ural gas as their main fuel to satisfy their out-door grilling needs, char-coal is making a signifi-cant comeback. Now before I go any further, Grilling is to cook with gas/propane, while Barbecue (or BBQ) is to cook with charcoal/wood. I have to admit that I now own both: a propane grill and a charcoal BBQ. I believe that there is a time and a place for both, but if you are in the market for a new outdoor cooker as your main source of grilled/BBQ’d food, which do you choose? Before I get into the differences of your two obvious choices, I must stress that the quality of equipment should be your first concern. I hear of so many people pur-chasing equipment at big box stores just because the price is right. Your outdoor cook-ing appliance is a signif-icant purchase and should not be looked upon differently than the purchase of a new oven/stove for your kitchen. If anything, quality in an outdoor grill/BBQ should be of higher importance than your indoor oven/stove because it will be sub-jected to the elements; even with a cover over it the environment is more humid and wet than anything you use indoors. A grill or BBQ should not be considered a dis-posable fixture. You should not have to replace it every four to six years. You would never dream of doing that with your indoor oven/stove, so why do you expect to do that

with your grill or BBQ? Do your homework by researching all the brands before making your purchasing deci-sion. It is not a matter of just coming across one at the store and saying “look at this one! Let’s just buy it!” A gas/propane grill and its components should be made of high grade stainless steel so it resists rusting. Just because you purchased a stainless steel grill, it does not mean that it won’t rust. There are different grades of stain-less steel that you need to be aware about. Where was it made? How easy is it to get replacement parts like burners, etc? What is the warranty? Where is the company located? Call their cus-tomer service center and ask questions. Also search online for unbi-ased opinions by researching grilling blogs; it is as simple as typing “reviews on a ______ grill” in a search engine with the brand name (with or without the model number). Ceramic charcoal BBQ’s are the best choice if you choose to go with charcoal. Their thick ceramic walls help to retain the heat and cook more evenly and consis-tently... but they are not all made the same. Just because it is ceramic, does not necessarily mean quality. Again, do your research. There are definitely less parts to a charcoal BBQ, but you still want to make sure that you are buying one that will last a lifetime...

yes, I did say a lifetime. With a high quality ceramic BBQ, this is not out of the question. Think of how much money you have spent on outdoor cookers in your lifetime and then decide on what’s appro-priate to spend on a high quality purchase. Ease of use will obvi-ously go to a gas grill - it’s instant on, and instant off, but flavor of food will always go to charcoal. However, after cooking with propane my whole adult life I just recently purchased my first charcoal BBQ and the learning curve of using it was actually very small. Both need to be cleaned out regularly: one of food residue and one of ash; and both require to be preheated before cooking. Temperature on a grill is obviously controlled by knobs which increase/decrease the gas flow, while temperature on a ceramic charcoal BBQ is controlled by air vents: the more air flow, the hotter the temperature. Unlike our parent’s Hibatchis of the past however, you can save the leftover unused char-coal for your next cook-out by closing the air vents and eventually

snuffing out the char-coal. Whichever outdoor cooking appliance you go with, I stress the words of your parents that haunted you for all of your childhood school days: “Do Your Homework!” Send your food/cook-ing questions to dez@

YRHS BASKETBALL was awarded the SHSAA Sportsmanship Award for their sportsmanlike play during the 2012-13 season. The Raiders also took 4A bronze this season under the guidance of coaches Jason Payne and Curtis Spelay.

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

The Yorkton Regional High School Sr. Boys Basketball team may not have received the SHSAA Provincial Championship banner they hoped for after making Hoopla, but the Sas-katchewan High School Athletic Asso-ciation did make their way to Yorkton to give them a sportsmanship banner for their exemplary sportsmanship in taking back to back bronze medals in 4A basketball. Jason Payne, the Raiders head coach instills the value of sportsman-ship into his teams, teaching that how you act on the court is refl ective of how you act off of it. “I often think of the basketball court as an extension of the classroom and when you get rec-ognized for the great group of kids we have and the things we teach in the program it is an added bonus” says

Payne. Payne also added that the award was a nice bonus for the team who also came home from their 2012/13 season with another bronze medal at 4A Hoopla saying, “Obviously we wish we could have put up a provin-cial championship banner in the gym, but being recognized by the SHSAA as well as taking home a bronze medal was a good way to cap off a great year with a great group of kids that were a pleasure to coach and the SHSAA rec-ognizing that was nice.” The Raiders, who have the most pro-vincial championship banners of any school in the province as well as in the last ten years have also taken home three Milk Sportsmanship Awards in the decade. Girls soccer were given the award as well as the Sr. Raiders foot-ball team in recent years and Payne, who also serves as the athletic direc-tor of the program feels is indicative

of the work of the athletic department in both teaching the sport and the importance of life after sports. “With the amount of banners and champi-onships we have won in recent years along with the three sportsmanship awards we have won as a school I feel that the hard work of our coaches as well as our students shows in the ac-colades and banners we have been able to hang in our gym” says Payne. The Raider basketball team is still in their offseason with Payne going to coaching clinics honing his coaching craft (see page 16) in preparation for the 2013/14 season that will see the orange and white lose their two lead-ing scorers. For now a great group of YRHS students can hold their heads high knowing that both on the court they were one of the top teams in the province while showing humility and sportsmanship on the hardwood which at the end of the day is valuable.

YRHS Basketball wins sportsmanship honour

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer Bill Sobkow is a Yorkton Car-dinals staple. Since 2002 Sob-kow has been managing the Yorkton Cardinals to varying success, making the WMBL Playoffs on a handful of occa-sions and seeing several players move on to professional careers in the game after spending sum-mers at Jubilee Park. Yet the Cardinals have not made the playoffs in four years, fi nishing in last place with a 14-32 record in the East Division, something that Sobkow will look to turn-around in 2013 as he attempts to lead the Cards back to the playoffs and bring some excite-ment into Jubilee Park. With the shift to full collegiate status in the WMBL also brings a change in philosophy for Sob-kow who noted that in the past the Cardinals focused on devel-oping younger players who were better professional prospects over veteran players, some-thing that hindered the team’s success in the win loss column. Now Sobkow mentioned that the Cardinals had a new philosophy

when recruiting players for the 2013 season. “While retaining some of the same philosophy we have brought in more veteran players this season that hope-fully will create more stability and create an environment that will see us return to the play-offs,” mentions Sobkow. Sobkow’s veteran manage-rial experience has been spent almost entirely in the Parkland area. He cut his teeth manag-ing the Calder minor baseball program from 1992 through 1997 before managing the York-ton Prairie Bandits Bantams in 1998 and 1999 before he caught his fi rst break in the WMBL with the Melville Millionaires. That veteran experience com-bined with the added help of new pitching and hitting coach-es is something the Cardinals ballclub and fans will be hoping turns things around this sum-mer after four years of futility and no playoffs. With a new phi-losophy and plenty of new faces at Jubilee Park this might just be the year that Sobkow helps guide the red and white back to the promised land and end their postseason drought.

Bill Sobkow gears up to manage Cards once again

BILL SOBKOW will once again manage the Yorkton Cardinals. It will be the 12th season for Sobkow who will attempt to get the club back to the playoffs.

Hockey is at a cross-roads. You can see it every night someone lays a big hit. The play is reviewed in every angle possible and ana-lysts attempt to break it down step by step, say-ing terms like “principle point of contact” and trying to determine if the player was attempt-ing to make contact with the other skaters head. Not noting that it is nearly impossible to determine such a thing in the fastest contact sport on earth in which players continue to get faster and faster while the ice stays at the same small dimensions it always has been, making high impact contact merely a statis-tical guarantee. Yet the TSN/Sportsnet/CBC analysts still parade themselves out there as the game continues to lean more and more to-wards a new style of the sport, one where fi nish-ing your checks in the open ice, or hard hitting for any matter, is slowly but surely being phased out of the game. You see it in the mi-nor levels as well, Al-berta just moved hitting out of the Peewee level making the controver-sial move to ban body-checking until Bantam. The motive is to avoid concussions, the new-est hot button issue in minor and professional sports as more and more research has shown something that we all should have known all along, that brain inju-ries cause brain dam-age. The concern mixed with the newest genera-tion of parents and their extremely heightened concern over their kids getting injured playing sports has created a sit-uation where the voice to remove hitting at

any level possible has became louder than the coaches, parents, and even players that wish to keep it in the game. Yet as the major-ity of the sports world bemoans concussions, we still celebrate hit-ting nearly as much as we used to. Detroit Red Wings blueliner Niklas Kronwall was dedicated a fi ve min-ute special feature on SportsCentre and the NHL on TSN’s playoff coverage on his big hits. Joe Louis Arena goes even crazier for Kron-wall, chanting “You got Kronwall’d” after the Swedish born Kronwall dishes out a big hit, of-ten leaving his feet to do so at an opponent who has his head down leav-ing his own zone. This special came just days after San Jose Sharks player Raffi Torres was suspended for the remainder of the sec-ond round series with the Los Angeles Kings for fi nishing a check of Yorkton’s Jarret Stoll, further proving the double standard dilem-ma that is growing with each passing incident in the game of hockey. We love big hits, but we know concussions are wrong. This was no more rel-evant than when Lars Eller was sprawled life-less on the ice during the fi rst round of the playoffs after a seem-ingly clean hit from the Ottawa Senators Eric Gryba. Canadiens de-fenseman Raphael Diaz sent Eller a suicide pass to the blueline, leading Eller right into Gryba, who was trying to make an interception off of Diaz’ poor pass to create a turnover. Gryba was making a hockey play, one that any defense-

man would be taught to make, he went for the puck and Eller was reaching for the errant puck with his head down forcing Gryba to collide with Eller. Gryba made “the principle point of contact” at the hip and Eller went crash-ing to the ice, landing face fi rst. The scene of his bloody face and the bloody ice would make even the most hardened hockey fans cringe, but it was not a headshot and veteran referee Kerry Fraser enforced that by going on TSN and saying it was not a hit worthy of suspen-sion or even a charging penalty major that Gry-ba was given during the game. Yet the Senators blueliner was given a two game suspension in the playoffs. The same happened to Torres, who was given a series suspension for his repu-tation of handing out injuries more than for the hit itself. So now we are left with a game that ben-efi ts the puckhandler more and more just like in football where new rules about hitting receivers in the head has led many defen-sive backs complaining about the unfair double standard they are sad-dled with, soon we are going to see more and more hitters in the NHL shy away from fi nishing

their checks, giving the offense the advantage of not having to worry about putting their own teammates in danger by playing the puck into tight windows. Is this right? No. But is it the easiest fi x without changing the game to make it actually safer? Yes. Reactionary measures are going to solve noth-ing. Junior, minor, and professional leagues can suspend and penalize players as stiffl y and as harshly as they please, but at the end of the day the player who got a concussion still has a brain injury meaning the goal of the punish-ment was actually not achieved automatically. Taking body checking out of Peewee hockey also does not help pre-vent the change to make the game safer as players will have added years where as offen-sive players they do not need to keep the safety of their teammates in mind while making a pass or a move into the neutral zone. How is that going to help players protect themselves? Alberta may be able to point

that less concussions will happen in Peewee but as anyone can tell you that does not mean less concussions will happen in Bantam or Midget or that the data was not collected with a biased interest in mind as so often hap-pens with all forms of research. The simple answer to the issue of preventing concussions in hockey is that there is no simple answer, and that a quick patch up fi x job of saying “Don’t do that” to play-ers who at the same time are told to fi nish their checks is going to solve absolutely noth-ing. If people are serious about taking concus-sions out of the game a full scale review of the sport from top to bottom needs to be made. From the hard plastic equip-ment that has still not been phased out, to the size of the ice surface that is becoming more and more cramped and dangerous as players are becoming bigger and faster and stronger the more developments in training and nutri-tion are made. Those who are serious about making the game safer need to look at making wholescale changes to the game to do so, pun-ishing a bodycheck after the fact or taking learn-ing how to keep your head up or preventing your teammate from getting caught with his head down after a dan-gerous pass is not going to be the answer. Which is why the game as we

know it may be in its last stages. Football is undergoing the same makeover with less and less parents willing to allow their kids the risk of playing a sport that has seen so many of its former stars suffer through the effects of CTE caused by head trauma. Now it seems like hockey is headed down the same road as the pro and ju-nior game grapple with what to do to curb bad press from devastating injuries to the people who play the game. With no real answer to solve a complex health, sport, and societal issue this debate is not going away, those who are not in the game have made it their business and those in the game want the same thing, for the health of the players to be preserved, but they also are fi nding out that they might not be able to keep their game as they know it if they are going to make hockey a safer sport to play. Questions will be left unanswered as the bat-tle between health and the tradition of Cana-da’s favorite sport. We do not know what direc-tion the game of hockey is headed in, and per-haps won’t know for years as we continue to wait for new studies and new ideas to come forth. One thing is for certain though, the game of hockey is going to look a lot different one day. Whether it is for better or for worse we will all have to wait and see to decide.

NEW CATERERS50/50 & MEAT DRAWS EVERY FRI & SAT

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer It may not have been a fairytale start for the Yorkton Yorkers during their first official matches in Regina’s cricket league, but two respectable performanc-es have the club’s spirits high after exceeding their own modest expecta-tions in the club’s quick rise to a full fledged team. “Considering it was our first time out, we did really well,” said Faisal Anwar, Yorkers captain. “Now we know what we need to work on.” Anwar was pleased overall with the team’s bowling and batting and was sur-prised by the quality of wicket keeping. He identified fielding, specifically fielder placement and execution of catches as the priority for the team moving for-ward. Vice-captain, Raja Ramachandran, added wicket running as another thing the Yorkers could fine tune going into their next matches. “We need to com-municate better,” he said. “We left a few runs out there.” In the first game, the Yorkers came up against a Royals club that featured some great batsman. The Yorkers did themselves few favours having several opportunities to get these important two wickets, but dropping at least five fly balls. By the time the Yorkers got to bat they had already allowed 200 runs, an insurmountable amount of runs to come back from for the newcomers resulted in a 107 run win for the Royals in a tough

first match for Anwar and the Yorkers. In the second game up against the Jaguars, the Yorkers found their bats and their fielding legs, putting in a much more promising performance in the second match of their doubleheader.Yorkers batsmen, going first led by Tinku Sharma’s half-century (50 runs), put up 120 runs for 7 wickets. With confidence boosted by a defend-able total, the Yorkers defended well, taking the first three wickets within six overs. By the 20th over, Yorkton had nine wickets and five runs in hand, putting the Yorkers in the position to win. With the very bottom of the Jaguars batting order at the crease and Anwar bowling, one more wicket would give them their first win. Unluckily for the Yorkers the Jaguars batsman executed a shot behind him over the wicket keepers’ head perfectly placed that ran for the boundary and four runs. On the second ball, Anwar delivered a wide ball giving the Jaguars the tie at 120. Anwar brought all the fielders in for the next delivery to guard against the single, but the Jaguars were up to the task, putting the bat on Anwar’s ball and running for the win by 1 wicket with the Yorkers oh so close for their first ever win with just four balls left. The Yorkers play the Jaguars again May 25, this time in a 40-over match in a rematch that the Yorkers will hope will bring their first ever club win after a near miss on their opening weekend.

Yorkers drop fi rst two games in club debut

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer After a hiatus during the 2012 summer season and a respectable fourth place finish in the Regina Soccer Association’s top flight during the winter season, the Yorkton United Football Club returned to summer action under the lights at Liebel Field as they took on Regina Juventus in a Monday night clash. The YUFC, led by player/manager Dillon Ferridge brought 13 of their best to Regina in hopes of grabbing three points in their season opening fixture. Employing a 4-1-4-1 forma-tion the Yorkton side looked to build from the back and work their strength in speed and skill with a midfielder heavy formation, but a quick Juve goal on a low cross that was put past keeper Jonny Bell put Yorkton down 1-nil midway through the first half. Juventus would defend that lead for the rest of the opening 45 minutes of play, with the Yorkton boys threat-ening, but could not find the moment of brilliance to break down a very stingy Juventus back end as the score stayed 1-nil going into half-time. In the second half the United’s fit-ness and superior skill over their opponents began to show as the away side began to start getting more quality chances, but the Juventus keeper would answer the test mak-ing a huge save off a Mark Okeny strike to keep the score 1-nil. Garrett McCallum would barely miss a gold-en chance in front of the net as well in the open-ing stages of the second half as the United con-

tinued to dominate the run of play,but were unable to find something toshow for it as Juventus clung to theirone goal lead with some solid goal-keeping and last ditch defending. Paul Litzenberger would finallyfind the back of the net, capitalizingon some nifty dribbling to get somedistance in the box and slotting inthe YUFC’s first goal of the 2013season to earn the equalizer withplenty of time left in the final 45minutes. After Litzenberger’s goalthe team kept on pressing over aJuventus team that continued tolook increasingly more tired as thegame went on, but still could not findthe second goal to take the threepoints they came to Regina for.Litzenberger got one more chanceafter a through ball sent him in oneon one with the keeper charging outof his box, but Litzenberger justcould not make a move around theJuventus keep who was the man ofthe match for his side keeping theYorkton team at bay despite numer-ous quality chances. In the end the YUFC earned ahard fought draw after going down1-nil early in the opening game of theseason. Some hard play from RobertOkeny and Brandon McCallum inthe back was the key in the secondhalf as Juventus attack was stifledas the talented pair put in some hardtackles on their opponents, givingYorkton the majority of possession.The United will now look to regroupahead of next Monday’s fixture atTaylor Field.

YORKTON YORKERS launch their first season in Regina with two matches against the Royals and Jaguars. The Yorkers dropped both, narrowly losing to the Jaguars.

YRHS basketball coaches travel to elite Nike Vegas clinicBy CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer After a season that saw the YRHS Sr. Boys Basketball team finish third in 4A basketball for a second straight season the brain trust of Sr. Boys head coach Jason Payne and Sr. Girls head coach Tony Hayden headed down to Las Vegas to attend a Nike clinic that fea-tured some of the best D-I NCAA coaches in what was a trip to take notes and attempt to work some of the new-est coaching philoso-phies into their pro-grams. With Tony Hayden being a coach-ing staple in the city for nearly the entirety of the Raiders basketball program and Payne’s accolades in the past ten year’s as the coach of the Sr. Boys (Hayden helped assist the team alongside Payne in 09-10 and 10-11) the coaching duo made the trip down to continue the never ending pur-suit of coaching knowl-edge. With the top D-I NCAA coaches hosting seminars and lectures about their own coach-ing philosophies, Payne

noted that carrying things over from the elite athletes and 35 second shot clock of American college bas-ketball over to the 24 second shot clock and high school kids is the most important thing to take away from the clinics. “Obviously I deal with a little less elite clientele than say Roy Williams of UNC or Jim Groce from Illinois, but the stuff you do take away from each clinic is extremely valuable in continuing to provide your players with the best possible systems and fundamen-tal philosophies possi-ble to make them bet-ter players” says Payne who mentioned Groce’s seminar as one of the most valuable of the coaches he listened to speak. Hayden, who was not available for comment after the clinic, won his trip through a Basketball Manitoba clinic prize where he drew a free trip to Las Vegas, where Payne joined him. Hayden who works on funda-mentals with handfuls of YRHS basketball players in individual training sessions as a

volunteer as well as volunteering to help head coach the YRHS girls team is one of the longest tenured coaches in the province in any sport or program and even with all of his experience made the trip down to hear what some of the best coach-es in the world had to say about the game. Raider Basketball is still months away with the school year almost over and November and the start of basketball season well in the dis-tance. Even with the long wait still ahead, the Raiders coaches continue to put hard work in preparation for another year of new students and players in the ongoing quest to develop the best ball-players possible.
