Mill committee gets the go ahead to continue workBy SHANNON DEVEAUN-R Writer

The JJ Smith Mill Committee – tasked with overseeing the updating of the old Yorkton brick mill along Livingstone Street – has been given the go ahead by Yorkton City Council members to continue work at the site with a report due back in one year. Council says they are more than

satisfied with efforts put forth so far and they support continued initia-tives to transform the mill from demise to more of a tourist draw. “As stated last October,” spoke Vern Brown of the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society to council, “we had just started phase two of the project (stabilization).” It was determined that rather than roof repairs, a new roof would be needed. “This was completed by June

30, 2014, along with repairs to the south, west and north walls. When the crack on the east wall is repaired, phase two of the project will be com-pleted.” These repairs mean the mill is now protected from the elements and won’t deteriorate further. “Fund raising is ongoing,” says Brown adding phase three is now a reality. “This will be to develop a plan for future use of the mill property that

YORKTON BUILDING SUPPLIES has officially held its grand opening. Manager Lynda Hawke invites everyone to come in and see what they have to offer.

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

There is now a new option for people looking to buy building supplies in the city. Yorkton Building Supplies recent-ly held their grand open-ing. The business, part of Castle Building Centres, is owned by the Onion Lake Cree Nation and located on Highway 10 East. Manager Lynda Hawke says that the Grand Opening weekend was a busy one for the busi-ness, with lots of activi-ties, sales and prizes. They also paired with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Shelwin House and SIGN Early Learning Center to run the barbecues for support. The process of opening the store has been a long process, as the store has undergone extensive renovations. Hawke says that they are proud of what they have accom-plished and they hope everyone comes in to see what they have to offer. The store came about because the Onion Lake Cree Nation has wanted to expand into new mar-kets, Hawke explains. They wanted to expand to the Yorkton area as

part of their overall goal of being completely self-sustaining as a nation, and they saw an oppor-tunity to set up a busi-ness in the area. While it is the first time Onion Lake has set up in Yorkton, it is their sec-ond Castle location, with All Nations Building Supplies operating on reserve. She emphasizes that the business has no government funding, and this is one of the first step in the nation’s over-all plan to expand fur-ther away from their home reserve. “This area was chosen because of its potential, to promote and help the nation grow and develop itself.” This is the first Castle location in Yorkton. Hawke explains that the difference with Castle is that it’s a member-run organization, with inde-pendent stores working together to better negoti-ate prices for product. She says their goal is to meet the needs of cus-tomers, and she says that they’ll work to find what you need. If it’s not in store, she says they’ll order it in. People can also visit their website at www.yorktonbuilding-supplies.com.

Depression support is available

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Depression is a disease that can be difficult to over-come, but Yorkton’s Better Living Centre wants to help. The organization has announced it is hosting a Depression Recovery Program, put together by Neil Nedley, MD, in the hopes of helping people overcome their depression and anxiety. Glenda Nischuk explains that the eight session program is a health education program, designed to educate people about the underlying causes of depres-sion and how lifestyle changes can help improve people’s lives. “He realized there was a lot of mind-body connec-tion going on. Instead of reaching for his prescription pad, he went through everything that came across his desk in terms of research to treat depression in a natural way.” One of the goals of the program is to reduce the stigma associated with depression, and start treating it like a disease that has an underlying cause. Nischuk says that one of the big things the program does is bring people together who have the same problem, and help them work on it rather than with-draw. “Depression still has a stigma attached.

50/50 & MEAT DRAWS EVERY FRI & SAT

By Craig Baird For any community in the early-20th century, one of the greatest dan-gers is fire. One small fire can grow in size until it is threatening the entire community. For Yorkton, fire was an ever present danger and it was for that reason on Oct. 9, 1900 that the Yorkton Volunteer Fire Brigade was created by an act of Town Council. A bucket brigade was formed but equipment was minimal. The town, though, rallied behind the brigade and by the Nov. 1 meeting, there were four new members and a grant

of $100 from the town to maintain the service. The first chief was Bob Lock and it was not long before the organization was fighting fires in the community. The first fire they responded to was at the Reverend George Steed’s house, when the fire chief saw fire coming out of the chimney. Using two three-gallon fire extinguishers, the crew extinguished the blaze. The town decided to do a bit more for the brigade by offering two dollars to any man in town with a team of horses or wagon who would carry extin-guishers to the fire. From this point on, the fire bri-

gade continued to improve steadily. At the council meeting held on Sept. 21, 1901, the brigade was given another $100 and 12 hel-mets were purchased. On Oct. 3, the brigade bought a steel triangle to call volunteers to fires. The brigade then asked council for a ladder truck and a vehicle to use to get to fires. They also asked that a bylaw be created to charge people a fee to put out fires in chimneys. In 1904, the brigade asked for firemen’s axes and a screen for straining gasoline. In 1905, council agreed to place two cross-ings at Fifth Ave and Smith Street to allow the fire engine to get closer to the underground reser-voir. A large fire bell was also purchased to alert members of fires in the community. One bell was purchase but it cracked soon after. The cracked bell did not work too well for alerting volunteers about fires and another bell was purchased. By 1910, the brigade had a horse-drawn chemi-cal engine, with two

45-gallon tanks and a one-cylinder gasoline engine. There were three ladders and 500 feet of hose that were used. From those early years, the fire department con-tinued to improve but despite all the changes the purpose never changed. They are still there to fight fires and keep Yorkton safe.

The Government of Canada strongly condemns the actions of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Northern Iraq, including the killing of innocent civilians and the targeted persecution of religious minorities. The situation is tragic. 1.3 mil-lion people have been displaced by ongoing violence, an estimated 850,000 in the last two months alone, and many more are threatened. Canada is very con-cerned. But there are no quick solutions to the tragic situ-ation in Iraq. Our hope is that the crisis will eventu-ally be replaced by lasting peace and security. Meanwhile, our government is discussing our coun-try’s role. We are also working with our interna-tional partners and aid organizations. Together we must oppose the ISIL threat, and help to save lives in the region. Canadian officials are monitoring the situation and assessing how to respond. We are responding to the humanitarian crisis by sending emergency relief supplies. Canada has established a stockpile of relief supplies in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which enables us to respond more quickly and effi-

ciently to events in Africa and Asia. The dispatch of relief supplies to Iraq is the first time this new stockpile has been used. The stockpile, which also includes tents, blankets and kitchen and hygiene kits, is managed by the Canadian Red Cross. Providing food, water and other essential supplies can mean the difference between life and death for people in desperate need. We have already allocated over $21 million to support both Syrian refugees and Iraqis affected by the ongoing violence. In addition to providing supplies to those dis-

placed by the violence, we also are providing medi-cal supplies to health facilities and helping with emergency repairs to water and sanitation facili-ties. Canada continues to work with organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, Development and Peace, Save the Children Canada and Mercy Corps. The need for assistance is clear, and Canada is responding swiftly and gener-ously. Canada is also standing with our military allies against ISIL’s threat. As Prime Minister Harper stated on the opening day of Parliament’s fall ses-sion, “Canadians are rightly sickened by their sav-age slaughter of anyone who doesn’t share their twisted view of the world. We know their ideology is not the result of “social exclusion” or other so-called ‘root causes’ It is evil, vile, and must be unambigu-ously opposed. ” We will not drop our guard. We will continue to explore ways to oppose ISIL, with the goal of saving any lives it threatens, now and in the future, abroad or elsewhere.

“I see it when people register, it’s almost like there’s a shame to regis-ter, or admit there’s something possibly wrong. This program is so refreshing because it teaches you how your brain works, it teaches you why you are depressed. For a lot of people, depression affects their self worth, but peo-ple need to realize that it’s a real illness.” The program focuses on different aspects of health, with sessions cov-ering causes of depres-sion, nutrition, brain function, the impact of addictions, coping with loss and attitude, as well as ways to stick with pos-itive changes. She also says that the program comes with a support system, as people meet and help each other make those changes.

The goal is to make it a safe place, Nischuk says, and they follow the HIPAA privacy stan-dards. She also says it’s important for depressed people to have someone to talk to, and if it’s an emergency they will also be able to connect people with the service they need. She says that since one of the main symp-toms of depression is a tendency to withdraw, they want to give people a place to go and people to talk to. Nischuk says that their goal is not to replace other mental health pro-grams, but to help people implement changes in their lives in order to help improve their men-tal health. She says that they work with mental health services, and if someone does have a cri-sis or more severe mental health issues, they will connect them with the

professionals who can help. She emphasizes that it’s not about getting people off medication, given the impact medica-tion can have on mental health, but that the life-style changes recom-mended can make it much easier to deal with the problem. “If someone is bipolar or schizophrenic, they have to be on medication and this isn’t a cure for those things. But, the things they learn for their lifestyle will be an asset for improving that.” She also says that it’s not necessary to be depressed to take the program, because it’s a program that is about overall health, and the way that it affects a per-son’s mind. Knowledge of the program can help people support friends and family, Nischuk says, or help them live a

positive lifestyle. This program is part of an overall goal to make the Better Living Centre an education hub, and Nischuk predicts that it will be a regular program because depression is such a common illness and there is a need for help in the community. Those interested in taking part can call 306-783-3366 or visit the Better Living Centre at 272 Broadway St. West. The first session is on September 18 at the Centre.

THE NEWS REVIEW

Things are looking good for Sask.

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.” – C. JoyBell C. A great quote which leads me to the writing of one of my fi nal columns for the News Review. Af-ter 14 years with the paper – with a brief hiatus somewhere in that time – it’s with some sadness and also excitement that I announce I am moving on to other endeavours. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of my readers over the years who have touched my thoughts and heart with your feedback, your kindness and yes sometimes even your criticism. You always let me know you were reading. I have to say I have had a lot of amazing expe-riences in my time at the paper from having the opportunity to interview our Prime Minister, to racing in a high powered race car. I’ve done sto-ries with our provincial leaders and candidates, 14 years of mayors and councilors, community

leaders and my fellow citizens. It has truly been an honor. You have made me think, change my mind on subjects, feel your happiness and sometimes your pain. I’ve met wonderful peo-ple with incredible sto-ries. I feel fortunate and thankful I had the op-portunity to share them. I’ve seen children grow

up, said good bye to familiar faces and watched as Yorkton has grown from a small town to a re-gional hub. Change is the one constant we can always rely on so it’s with that in mind I will end with another quote and say fare well. Thanks Yorkton. :-) “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you fi nd that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” – Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button screenplay.

The way I see it...

Last week, about 55 per cent of voters in Scotland decided that they did not want the country to go inde-pendent of the United Kingdom. I predicted this result much earlier, saying that it would be No victory, with between 50-55 per cent of voters deciding to remain in the United Kingdom. I was confident in this result mainly because of what happened 19 years ago in Quebec, and the difficulty of convincing the majority of people to go with a big change. It was going to be close largely because you need to elect someone willing to push independence as an issue. Any party that wants to break from the nation is going to make it a cornerstone of their policy, so they will need at least the majority of seats in a parliamen-tary system. However, that’s relying on the voters, which is a much smaller subset of the overall popula-tion. The voter turnout for a referendum, however, tends to be a much larger proportion than a general election. So what you have is a significant portion of the popu-lation who wants to break away, as well as a portion of the population which is fine with the status quo. The people who want to break away can make enough of an impact to vote in a party that wants to hold a referen-dum, separate from the larger nation, and become independent. However, now they have to actually hold

that referendum, which means they have to convince a big portion of the population, the one that normally doesn’t get politically active, that they should go along with the plan to separate. These people are the big swath of undecided voters. Now, there are going to be undecided voters who like to just not tell people how they’re voting because of a desire to be a bit difficult when someone is making up poll results. I am, admittedly, one of those people, but I’m in the minority. The majority of undecided voters are legitimately undecided, they have not made up their mind on the issue. However, when tabulating results, you might as well count the undecided as going

with the status quo. This is because if someone is undecided on a matter like sovereignty, they are choosing between something that has some risks attached and something which they already know. The majority of the time, people are going to consider the risky path before choosing the one they know already, the status quo is low risk. If you’re going back and forth up to the election day, chances are very good that you’re not going to go with risk. These are also likely the less politically active people, so their main issues are going to be personal, how the relative turmoil will affect their job, or their family, and risk in those areas is unappealing to most. The problem the Yes side has in every referendum is that they have to convince the risk-averse that their alternative is the best one. Even in cases where the country is extremely badly off, it’s still a massive risk to actually choose to break away, and it comes with logistical hurdles, major changes in commerce and business, many big decisions that have to be made and have wide ranging consequences. If life is relatively peaceful, like it is in a place like Quebec or Scotland, the number of people who are going to be unwilling to take a risk increases. If you have it good, you’re going to be less willing to make a drastic change, and thus unions are held together.

Amidst world turmoil and econom-ic uncertainty as we sail towards the beginning of a new year, things are looking good for Saskatchewan. According to the stats our popula-tion is up and prospects look good. StatsCan issues its population pro-jections every five years, outlining seven possible scenarios for popula-tion growth in Canada and the prov-inces. Its projections for Saskatchewan range from the prov-ince having a population of any-where from 1,174,000 people to 1,527,000 people by 2038. The lower growth projections are based on population trends dating back to Saskatchewan’s zero-growth period of the 1990s and early 2000s. Premier Brad Wall says he believes the strong growth scenarios are more likely, based on the experience in Saskatchewan in the past few years. “Saskatchewan is strong and grow-ing,” he says. “These projections show we are expected to keep grow-ing and that’s a good thing. There are many challenges that come with growth, but I would rather deal with those than the challenges of decline our province was facing just a few short years ago.” Wall also notes that when Statistics Canada issued its population projec-tions in 2005, four of the six scenari-os saw Saskatchewan actually losing population over the next 25 years. Even the most optimistic scenario at the time saw Saskatchewan growing to just 1,064,000 people by 2031. Today, there are more than 1,120,000 people living in the province. “Saskatchewan has now grown by more than 120,000 people in just the past seven years. Today, the least optimistic projection shows stron-ger growth than the most optimistic one just a decade ago. Things have changed a lot in Saskatchewan.” And so they will continue to do so. Saskatchewan – a great place to call home.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, September 25, 2014 - Page 5A

To the Editor: Much has been writ-ten recently about charitable organiza-tions being audited for expressing their views on public policy. Given that the details of char-ity audits are not pub-lic knowledge, whether or not these audits are being directed for parti-san motivations, as has been suggested, or the degree to which this is occurring, we may nev-er know. However, we do know that the fear of audits and the rules restrict-ing charities’ “political activities” are restrict-ing charitable organi-zations’ ability to exer-cise their civil-society voice and freely express themselves in discus-sions of public policy. The recent concern about charity audits and the Canada Rev-enue Agency (CRA) rejection of charitable registration for groups that promote poverty prevention occurred while the Basic In-come Canada Network (BICN) was considering applying for charitable status. There are many rea-sons why BICN is in-terested in promoting awareness and support for an expanded system of basic income, but cen-tral among them is its potential to provide a more lasting solution to poverty. Basic income is a concept that has been rigorously tested, stud-

ied and recommended by Senate committees. This concept also forms the basis of existing in-come supports for chil-dren and seniors. Basic income is pre-mised on prevention. That the government would have “relief of poverty” as one of the major, long-standing categories of charitable activity and yet reject poverty prevention as a public good is unfath-omable. Imagine if we took this approach in other charitable areas, for ex-ample, providing relief for people with cancer or heart disease but doing nothing to help prevent these same dis-eases. Typically, organiza-tions pursue charitable status to allow them to give receipts to donors for allowable income tax deductions. This tax support recognizes that registered chari-ties serve the public interest and make Can-ada a better place to live. Having charitable status makes raising funds for this impor-tant work much easier. The BICN board de-liberated hard about the pursuit of chari-table registration in the current climate and has decided not to pursue registration at this time. The odds are not promising, and it is an onerous process to satisfy all of CRA’s requirements to avoid being perceived as too

critical or “political,” di-verting effort that could be devoted to our pri-mary work. BICN also decided to forgo this opportunity because of what it believes to be greater goods – free-dom of expression and the ability to be part of Canada’s political pro-cess. We don’t want to be driven by fear of los-ing charitable status. Many voluntary or-ganizations are busy, even overwhelmed, providing services to people. Others also fo-cus a small, allowable portion of their work (less than 10 to 20 per cent) on “advocacy,” usually support for the people they serve, very often the most disad-vantaged in society. Note that this is not partisan activity, which is not allowed at all, but somehow policy analy-ses and public aware-ness raising work has inherited the term “po-litical” as an outmoded negative connotation from centuries-old roots in British charitable law that is not in line with a modern democ-racy. Canada is falling behind other countries in the world in this re-gard where this outdat-ed interpretation has been successfully chal-lenged and changed. Voluntary organiza-tions in Canada today are essential to democ-racy and good gover-nance. They play an important role in point-ing out where our soci-

ety is working well and where it is not. They are well placed to iden-tify emerging issues and opportunities, and to share knowledge, expertise and insights with governments and the public. By enabling their participation in policy debates, we are better positioned to develop sound solutions that benefit all of us. Societ-ies and economies con-stantly evolve, and our policies must as well. When we are forced to stick with the status quo, we can never know whether an alternative solution would be a bet-ter approach. Freedom to maintain the status quo is not a liberty our ancestors fought and died for. A healthy democracy does not shy away from persistent problems. It encourages new ideas and debate. It is strong enough to hear criti-cism, and grows as a result. Our democracy is se-verely undermined as long as citizens associ-ated with charities, or otherwise, are severely restricted in engaging in the important de-bates of the day, We realize that our decision may be contro-versial, but for now we would rather partici-pate in a Canada free to express itself than in a country that cannot.

To the Editor: W.C. Fields’ line “Never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump” has never been better executed than by the Conservative government and their farmer-disenfranchisement policies. Their first move upon election in 2006 was to tear up the farmer-railcar agree-ment. This agreement would have given farmers a place at the grain transpor-tation table, and while it wouldn’t have solved all the marketing problems from last year it would have at least given farmers a look behind the curtain. This move was followed by taking away the community pasture network that farmers have relied on for decades, de-stroying the PFRA and the tree nursery, vaporizing the support that farmers had through the margin based Agristability program, and weakening the Canadian Grain Commission. In parallel was the defunding and de-struction of the grain varietal develop-ment and research capacity – and this at

a time when the world’s population has never been higher and the climate has in-creasing variability. Decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was next – farmers were disenfranchised and not allowed to vote on the matter according to the existing law, taxpayers were billed an unneces-sary $349 million in 2011, and the $16 Bil-lion world leading exporter was reduced from a business to a political maneuver with a few hundred million in assets. Predictably the destruction of orderly marketing through the real CWB cost farmers $4 Billion in lost income for the 2013 crop (money that ended up in grain company pockets, lost sales and demur-rage charges), and the government now refuses to publish any financial reports for the Ritz-run CWB since 2012. With financial cover-ups and fast-tracking the give-away of farmer-paid CWB assets, it looks like the government is trying to bury a dead skunk as fast as they can. An Ag. Minister from Ontario or BC could not have accomplished this much destruction. No, the Minister had to be a short-term thinker from the prairies where Conservative votes could be taken for granted. Somewhere W.C Fields is feeling warm and fuzzy all over again.

Why we didn’t register as a charity

To the Editor:

The UN is back in the news with preparations for the open-ing of the 69th General Assembly session. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon highlights the impor-tance of the UN’s mission in this “time of turmoil.” But maybe we should take a closer look at what that “mission” is. The avowed purpose of the UN is to maintain peace and stability – or, as for-mer American UN Ambassador Susan Rice says, to “deter and punish aggression.” That’s a bit odd, when you stop to think about it. The UN’s stated mission is to prevent aggression; yet it does absolutely nothing to restrain the one country whose aggression far outweighs all oth-ers in the postwar period – per-haps in all of history. In the past seventy years the United States has invaded more countries, overthrown more governments and backed more dictators and terrorist death squads than any other country on Earth. There isn’t even a close second. Even assorted “threats” like al Qaeda, Hamas, ISIS and Sadd-am’s Iraq were either blowback from aggressive American poli-cies or were covertly sponsored by the US and its allies to further their aggressive aims. The crim-inal acts of al Qaeda and ISIS today result directly from past American support for the Islam-ic Brotherhood as a counter to Egypt’s Nasser; destabilization of Afghanistan’s peaceful, rela-tively progressive government (for the purpose of embroiling the USSR in its own Vietnam);

support for Kosovar terrorists in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s; support for Chechen reb-els against the Russian govern-ment; and covert support for anti-Assad rebels in Syria. Both the United States and the UN proclaim spreading de-mocracy as a central goal. Yet the US overthrew Mossadegh in Iran and Lumumba in the Con-go and actively encouraged the wave of military dictatorships that swept South America in the 1960s and 1970s. And despite packaging its criminal acts as “punishing ag-gression” or “spreading democ-racy,” the United States has been motivated almost entirely by a desire to protect the ability of extractive corporations to loot mineral resources in Africa, oil in Indonesia and Nigeria, etc., or the ability of First World manu-facturers to export sweatshop production to slave labor coun-tries. Far from stopping the United States from any of these crimes against humanity, the UN serves as a fi g leaf for US aggression against those who defy its will. To paraphrase Lysander Spooner’s quip about the Con-stitution, either the UN was created to enable these crimes by the world’s largest and worst aggressor (in which case it is pernicious), or it has been un-able to stop them (in which case it is worthless). The second al-ternative is damning enough. If the League of Nations is held in contempt for failing to stop Hit-ler, shouldn’t the UN be judged equally harshly for failing to

stop the United States? But I go with the fi rst option. The UN was central to FDR’s and Truman’s vision of a post-war world order enforced by the United States and its allies. That postwar vision was to im-pose corporate rule on the world and punish any future power attempting to secede from that world order. That means the UN is evil and its stated purpose is a lie. From the standpoint of radi-cal anti-imperialist critics of US policy, American withdrawal would be a good thing to the ex-tent it made it harder for the US to build multinational coalitions to share the fi scal and military burden of aggression with other powers. But the United States government, for that very rea-son, will never withdraw from the UN; the UN exists only to serve the corporate ruling class that controls the US and its al-lies. Even if the US did with-draw, the result would not be – as the UN’s right-wing detrac-tors believe – to purify the US of the corrupting infl uence emanat-ing from Rockefeller Plaza. The corruption is inseparable from America itself. US withdrawal would simply amputate one ten-tacle of the octopus, while leav-ing the beast’s Wall Street heart and Washington brain intact. Instead of being distracted by the UN, we need to strike at the root of evil: Abolish the United States and the system of domi-nation it serves.

It’s a passion that stems from a family love of the arts says Deanna Junek of her eye-catch-ing line of colored pencil sketches. Junek was in Yorkton last week dis-playing her work and offering up pieces for sale to members of the general public. Now residing in Estevan with many fam-ily members living in

Yorkton, Junek says, “I’ve always been artis-tic. I’m self taught...” She’s been perfecting her craft professionally for the past 12 years. The local artist creates each piece with pencil crayon and then offers prints for sale. “I use a technique... I put color on top of color and then scratch it out, that’s how I get a lot of the details, otherwise it can get dull.” Junek says she travels

the province showing her work, it’s what she does full time and what she enjoys doing. “I love people, I love talking to people so it’s great being self-em-ployed, working my own hours doing what I love to do.” It’s a passion that has been handed down through the genera-tions. “My dad was very artistic, I’m sure that’s where most of this came from. He was a sign maker – Don Junek – a lot of people here know him, either through that or music because he was a musician too. He made a lot of the signs in town here... he was always drawing, creating...” Anyone interested can view or purchase pieces. To learn more about Junek’s work visit: dean-najunek.com, email: [email protected], or call 306-630-7190. DEANNA JUNEK was recently in Yorkton showing off her unique and detailed colored

pencil sketch designs.

AS A BIG FAN or many years, Junek says she’s drawn over 50 Saskatchewan Rough Rider pictures.

Breastfeeding Week Submitted by the Sunrise Health Region

October 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week in Canada and in Yorkton. The initiative coincides with the 40th week of the year, thus symbolizing the 40th week of pregnancy. The 2014 World Breastfeeding Week theme is, “Breastfeeding: A Winning Goal for Life!”, acknowledging that when mothers and babies succeed in their breastfeeding plans, they can enjoy a lifetime of benefits. Infant feeding is one of the most important deci-sions a family can make, and most women who choose to breastfeed have a specific goal in mind. Research shows that babies who receive only breast milk for the first six months of life are less likely to develop a wide range of chronic and acute diseases, including ear infections, diarrheal dis-eases, asthma, obesity, and respiratory illnesses. Mothers also benefit from breastfeeding with a decreased risk for breast and ovarian cancers. To reach the goal of exclusive breastfeeding, mothers need a team of helpers and healthcare professionals to support them. This breastfeeding team can include family, friends, physicians, nurses, midwives, employers, and childcare pro-viders. Together, the breastfeeding team provides information to boost confidence, protects mothers against critics, gives reassurance, and lends a hand to help breastfeeding mothers succeed.

A traditional dessert at Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie, but there are so many other options that would feel just as seasonal. One of my favorites is Cranberry Bread Pudding. Bread pud-dings usually utilize leftover stale bread, but I prefer to use a fresh loaf of French bread and toast it in the oven instead. The results are far superi-or. When it first comes from the oven it will be puffed up and beauti-ful, but don’t be alarmed to see it shrink down as it cools, this is normal. When it comes to serv-ing, a premium vanilla bean ice cream is a wonderful addition. I hope it becomes a favor-ite with your family too.

Cranberry Bread Pudding

“A combination of both fresh and dried cranberries makes for a flavourful and more complex cranberry taste” 1 - 454g (1 pound) French loaf4 large eggs, beaten1 ¼ (one and a quarter) cups sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1 tsp ground cinnamon¼ (one quarter) tsp saltZest from 2 lemons, finely chopped2 cups 10%MF cream (half and half)2 cups milk (2%MF or 3.5%Homogenized)¾ (three quarters) cup sweetened dried cran-berries¾ (three quarters) cup cranberries (fresh or

frozen), halvedVanilla bean ice cream, optional Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Tear the French bread into approximate one inch to two inch chunks and spread evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, tossing the pieces around about halfway through. Remove from the oven and let sit while you prepare the rest of the

pudding. Decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees and prepare a 9x13 baking dish by buttering it. In a large bowl, com-bine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and the zest thorough-ly. Whisk in the cream and milk. Add the

toasted bread pieces and the dried cranber-ries and toss together thoroughly with your hands. Let sit for 10 minutes for the bread pieces to absorb. Put one half of the custard soaked bread mixture into the pre-pared baking dish and top with half of the fresh/frozen halved cranberries. Add the remaining bread mix-ture (and scrape all liq-uid from the bowl) to the dish and top with the remaining fresh/frozen halved cranber-ries. Bake for approxi-mately one hour until the top browns and

puffs up. Also an insert-ed butter knife should come out clean. Let sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Makes 10 to 12 por-tions.

Local rinks get support The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that the Community Rink Affordability Grant will be offered in 2014. This is the third consecutive year for the popular program. The Community Rink Affordability Grant provides funding to Saskatchewan’s municipal indoor skating and curling rinks. Communities, schools, non-profi ts and First Nations are eligible to apply to the program. Successful applicants will receive a grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface. The grant may be used to help offset the cost of rink operations and minor capital upgrades. “Skating and curling facilities have always played an important role within Sas-katchewan communities,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty says. “They serve as meeting places where we can socialize, meet new people and engage in physical activity. By supporting the operation and maintenance of our local rinks, this grant will contribute to the enviable quality of life enjoyed by citizens across the province.” The Government of Saskatchewan is committing $1.7 million to the grant program for 2014. More than $3.2 million has been invested into the program in the last two years. The program has benefi ted more than 380 communities across the province. The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association will administer and deliver the program. “Ice rinks bring communities together by providing individuals of all ages with the opportunity to participate in fun recreation activities,” Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President Mike Powell said. “Our organization is pleased to once again partner with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport in the administra-tion of the Community Rink Affordability Grant. This grant ensures that rinks con-tinue to be well-maintained and well-operated so that Saskatchewan communities can enjoy cold weather activities in safe and quality environments.” To register for the Community Rink Affordability Grant program, visit: www.spra.sk.ca/crag.

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on get-ting settled in Hazel Dell.

It brings back memories from my childhood in Norway. Although we lived in the city of Oslo, most, if not all of our par-ent’s siblings lived in the rural part of southern Norway. A couple of them were full time farmers, but most of them lived on small acreages or in small hamlets. They would have a full time job at a local sawmill or aluminum fac-tory, and would have a small mixed farm in an attempt to live off the land. Some also did some commercial fishing to aug-ment their income. Our parents would help out with the harvest at various farms, and would bring us kids along. We were basically only specta-tors, except for the haying. All the children would help loading the hay wagon from the haystacks in the field. The wagon would be pulled by a horse, and all the kids would be lying on top of the loose hay to keep it from blow-ing a way. Our uncle would drive the hay wagon up the ramp to the second story of the barn, and the hay would be loaded into the big hay bin. After unloading enough hay so the bin was half full, we would jump from the bin railing into the hay, which would pack it down some-what. It was in the 1950s and all livestock were kept in the barn over winter at that time. There were a couple of small sliding doors at the bottom of the hay bin, where the hay would be extracted and distributed to the ani-mals. Our rural cousins took delight in tricking us urban smart Alecks. We were duped into a peeing contest. We were told to stand back about a yard or so, and the one that could hit the bottom strand of the wire fence would be a winner. That’s when we found out that it was an electric fence! Or they would convince us to jump in the silage bin, where we almost broke our legs. Most of our cousins would help out during the chick-en slaughter, and no, they were not over 16! And no,

neither the government’s child welfare nor the labour department came to tell them otherwise! We city kids were mes-merized at how deftly our uncle would behead the chickens. He would give the headless chicken to one of his kids, who would chase us while the chicken was still pumping blood out of the headless neck! Another one of the kids at one time saved some chick-en blood in a small con-tainer and snuck it into the bedroom. We were usually sharing bedrooms with our male cousins. He did this in the afternoon when nobody was in the house. Then he would smear some chicken blood on his pyjamas and hide it under the bed spread. We were all soundly asleep when he bolted upright in his bed, screaming at the top of his lungs that the boogey man got him. Our uncle came running and turned on the light, scaring us even more when we saw the bloody pyjamas and the blood that he had smeared on his face as well! His dad smelled a rat eh – chicken, admonished the prankster and turned out the light again. So much for sleep that night! My brother and I stayed awake the rest of the night, you know, just in case! Pig slaughter was another story. The adult males handled the pig, and the licensed local pig executioner would use what was called a slaugh-ter mask to kill the pig. The slaughter mask looked like a school hand bell. The bell part fit on the pig’s forehead, and the shaft attached to the bell part contained a live round of .22 caliber that he would discharge with the use of a hammer. Ropes were attached to the hind legs of the pig and looped through a block and tack-le. As soon as the pig fell, it was hoisted up to bleed out into vats, and the women would make blood sausages from that. Ugh – Uffda! Our oldest cousin was part of the butcher team, and he would cut out the pig’s bladder and throw it at us! Just about all the guts of the pig were used. The intestines were cleaned and used for sau-sage. The kidneys were

saved as were the liver. The lungs were made into tripe. The brain and the meat in the cheeks and jowl were made into head cheese and the pigs feet were pickled. The hide was scalded and scraped, and all the cuts would for the most part have the rind on. The front shoulder roasts were smoked and cured, but they did not smoke and cure the bacon, instead the sides were cut into strips, which would be fried and served up that day as a meal for all the participants. All the fat was rendered into lard. When it was all said and done, all that was left of the pig was a mouthful for the dog. I was walking down the creek on our property when I spotted a bullfrog. I reached down and grabbed the frog and start-ed to put him in my pocket when the bullfrog said, “Kiss me on the lips and I will turn into the most

beautiful woman in the world.” I looked at the frog and just smiled and kept stuffing it in my pocket. The frog asked me, “Didn’t you hear what I said ?” I looked at the frog and said,” I’m a happily mar-ried old gent, so I’d rather have a talking frog.” A travelling salesman’s car broke down late in the evening in the middle of farm country. He got out and started walking down the country road looking for help, and came upon a farm. Not believing his luck, he knocked on the door, and a farmer answered. “Sir,” said the salesman. “Hopefully you can help me? My car broke down, and I need a place to stay for the night.” “Sure,” says the farmer. “But I only have one extra bed, and my very, very ugly and cross daughter sleeps there.” “Oh no!” said the salesman. “I’m in the wrong story!” A cocky Saskatchewan

Department of Highways engineer stopped at a farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farm-er, “I need to inspect your farm for a possible new road allowance.” The old farmer said, “OK, but don’t go in that field.” The engi-neer said, “I have the authority of the Saskatchewan Govern-ment to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on any farm land.” So the old farmer went about his farm chores. Later, he heard loud screams and saw the engineer running for the fence calling for help, and close behind was the farmer’s prize bull. The old farmer called out, “Show him your card!!” A fly was buzzing around a barn one day when he happened on a pile of fresh cow manure. Due to the fact that it had been hours since his last meal, he flew down and began to eat. He ate and ate and ate.

Finally, he decided he had eaten enough and tried to fly away. However, he had eaten too much and could not get off the ground. As he looked around wonder-ing what to do now, he spotted a pitchfork lean-ing up against the wall. He climbed to the top of the handle and jumped off, thinking that once he got airborne, he would be able to take flight. Unfortunately he was wrong and dropped like a rock, splatting when he hit the floor. The moral of the story is: Never fly off the handle when you’re full of crap. Interviewer: “Congrat-ulations on winning the lottery.” Farmer: “Thank you.” Interviewer: “Do you have any special plans for spending all of that money?” Farmer: “Nope. Not really. I’m just gonna keep farming until the lottery money is all gone.”

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in

B SIDE CHAMPS! – The Sacred Heart High School boys soccer team recently travelled to Swift Current to take part in a six team tournament. The Saints first game was against the Yorkton Regional. The game ended in a one to one tie after regulation time. Ben Fetsch scored to tie the game on a penalty kick in the last minute of the game after the Raiders were called for a hand ball in the penalty area. The game winner was then decided on a three shot penalty shoot out. The Regional prevailed in the shoot out and went on to the A side which they won to become tournament champions. The Saints dropped to the B side where they became B side champions. In the first game on the B side their opponents were Moose Jaw Central who were last year’s provincial 2A boys cham-pion. The boys produced a great team effort to defeat Moose Jaw 3 to nil. Goal Scorers were Jake Holinaty, Christian Smith and Ben Fetsch. Nathan Cochrane set up all three goals. Zackary Shearer recorded the shutout. The Saints then met Weyburn in their final game. This one ended at 0 to 0 after regulation time and went to another penalty shoot out. This time the Saints prevailed scoring all five from the penalty dot. (Ben Fetsch, Liam Poole, Austin Thomas, Nathan Cochrane, and Zack Shearer all scored). Coaches Scott Hoffort and Jeanne Fetsch say they were impressed with the play of center mid fielders Liam Poole and Ben Fetsch and central defender Austin Jasan and were happy with the leadership of Jake Holinaty. The effort in all three games from the entire Saints team was great. Focus to improve will be on fitness levels, positional play and playing possession soccer. Saints next action will be this weekend at Sacred Heart Fields where Sacred Heart and Regional High schools will co-host an eight team tournament. Participating teams are SHHS, YRHS, Weyburn, Swift Current, Moose Jaw Vanier, Muenster, Kipling, Regina Luther. Tournament kicks off at 3 pm Friday – Saints will play Muenster and Raiders will face Kipling. – Submitted by Jeanne Fetsch.

After leading the Yorkton Terriers to the 2012/13 SJHL Championship on the way to Co-MVP honours in the finals, Prince Albert born goaltender Dawson MacAuley attracted the radar of the Regina Pats who traded for his rights to be one of the workhorses in between the pipes during the 2013/14 WHL season. Getting a chance at a full season with the Pats, MacAuley helped get the Pats into the playoffs before falling out of favour during the preseason in the Queen City. That led to MacAuley coming back to the city where he had his biggest suc-cesses at the Junior A level, returning to start in goal for the Yorkton Terriers for his final Junior season. Head coach Trent Cassan immediately flung MacAuley into the starting position dur-ing the defending back to back SJHL champions season openers against the Weyburn Red Wings where the new 20

year old netminder picked up where he left off when he last played for the Terriers. Two solid performances in between the pipes against the Red Wings gave Yorkton two straight wins to start the season, showing that even with a relatively all new blueline and plenty of new faces that the Terriers will be in the hunt for another championship with one of the likely top Junior A goaltenders this season. Suddenly going from what MacAuley had hoped was a final season in the WHL, the former Pats and now return-ing starter to the Terriers had high hopes when talking about his return to the SJHL with the Terriers. After two games MacAuley mentioned that he felt comfortable diving right into the some-what difficult situation of going to a new team right after the WHL training camp thanks to his familiarity with Trent Cassan’s defensive systems. Talking about the similar concepts from his first stint in Yorkton, MacAuley sounded

excited about the potential of the defence in front of him. “I actually felt really comfortable play-ing this weekend even if there were a lot of new teammates that weren’t here when I was the season before last year,” mentions MacAuley. “A lot of the same defensive concepts and principles are still being used so it was an easy transi-tion to come from the Pats training camp to the new start with the Terriers.” MacAuley also had praise for the blue-line and forwards playing in front of him, showing some high expectations early in the season as the goaltender had plenty of positives after racking up back to back victories in which the Terriers conceded two goals apiece in both games. Keeping chances low to help MacAuley keep as many goals out of the net as possible pleasing the new starting goalie after the first two games of the season. “I was really impressed with how well we played right off the start of the sea-

son and I think that our first two games showed that this team has a lot to build on. The defence played hard and we have a lot of firepower up front so this team has a good balance that has me excited for the season because so far it looks like we are going to be in the mix all season. “We have an extremely hard working team and you can see guys are working hard on every shift which is something that I am pretty happy with because you always want to be on a team that is working hard to accomplish as much as possible.” The return of MacAuley comes at the hands of a respectable full season in the WHL for the former Canalta Cup Finals Co-MVP who raised his profile with the Terriers to earn the job with the Pats where he proved that he could get the job done at the top level of Junior enough to get Regina into the playoffs.

Playing on the Yorkton Terriers for the past three seasons, gritty power forward Kailum Gervais knows exactly how big of shoes he has to fi ll in replacing Devon McMul-len as the team’s newest captain for the 2014/15 season. During McMul-len’s career the blueliner played in three SJHL

Championships, winning his last two as captain including the RBC Cup last season to give York-ton its fi rst ever Junior A National Championship. Head coach Trent Cassan referred to McMullen as one of the “best captains and players in Terriers history” at the end of last season, so whoever was going to be the captain this season was going to

be replacing a player who drew a ton of respect as a player and a leader. That is why the team may have had no better choice in team captain than Gervais this season, a player who has played on top forward lines for the past two seasons that also doesn’t shy away from an enforcer role, the Keeseekoose First Na-tion product has always been willing to protect his teammates and because of that was already a fan favourite as well as in the locker room. Becoming the team’s captain in what will be his fourth season with the Terriers, Gervais said he was honoured as well as surprised to be named captain because of the experienced players on the team around him. “We have some great leaders on this team along with some very ex-perienced players so I was slightly surprised to be named captain before the season,” says Gervais. “It wasn’t something I was expecting, but I am hon-oured to be able to carry on the captain’s tradition with the Terriers and will try my best to fi ll the role.” Gervais also mentioned that the leaders on the team from past years have taught him a lot, something that he will be trying to do with a Terri-ers team that has experi-ence mixed in with some promising prospects try-ing to make a name for themselves on a team that has a recent winning tra-dition. “I have played with some great leaders on this team in Devon, the Norrish’s (Chase, Brady), Kale Thomson, Tayler Thompson all great play-ers and great guys to play with so I am going to take what I learned from how they led along with some of my own experiences to help out younger players if they need any advice on anything because this team is all about helping one another get better everyday to achieve our goals as a group.” The Terriers forward is

long in experience thanks to joining the team ear-ly in his second year of Midget jumping from the then Yorkton Harvest AAA team to play Junior A for 35 games and all fi ve games in Yorkton’s fi ve game exit to the Mel-ville Millionaires that year. Since his rookie season Gervais has been a power forward on head coach Trent Cassan’s for-ward lines, protecting the likes of Jeremy Johnson, Brett Boehm, and Tayler Thompson while provid-ing plenty of scoring on his own when required. In the postseason alone Ger-vais has 12 goals from the past two seasons, showing just how valuable he can be as a scorer in addition to the enforcer role that fi rst put him on the map as a fan favourite. Gervais wants to see more scoring in his game this season, mentioning that as a captain and a top line player that pro-duction will be a focus in trying to improve as an all around performer. “Playing on the top line and being the captain there is more of a role in trying to score goals along with setting up teammates to make things happen of-fensively so that will be

something that I hope to improve on this year. I have good linemates and things have been click-ing so far in the fi rst two games so if that continues the offence should stay which is something that we need to do to stay com-petitive.” As for fi ghting, Gervais said he isn’t going to be shy to drop the mitts even if he is trying to stay out of the penalty box more this season. “Standing up for my teammates and setting a tone has always been a part of my game because it is how I play,” says Ger-vais of his enforcer role that will still be in his set of skills even if he will be looking to tone down on the penalties. “I am not going to shy away from every challenge or back down if the time is neces-sary, but trying to keep my penalties a bit lower from the past two seasons is something that is a fo-cus.” Gervais averaged 60+ penalty minutes over his three seasons with the Terriers, which isn’t near a gaudy 100 minute mark as the forward has always found a balance between being an enforcer as well as a talented player that

logs plenty of ice time. That was clear over the opening weekend when Gervais scored his fi rst goal of the season in the home opener, a game where Gervais wanted to defend home ice as cham-pions to show that the Terriers are once again a tough team to knock off. “Putting up the banners makes you motivated to defend the titles you have won and you know that every team is going to be trying to beat you even more now that you have won the National Cham-pionship because every night is a test to show that you can beat the champions. We feel that we can play to a high level again so playing motivat-ed teams and defending a championship should help keep us sharp all season.” Starting the season 2-0 after a weekend sweep over the Red Wings, Ger-vais felt the wins were im-portant to give confi dence to the new players on the team and to show them that this group can be suc-cessful. “I think these two wins were important to get things started early on in the season,” Gervais add-ed. “It is a long process over the entire season, but to start off with some good wins to build on is impor-tant to show new players that this is what happens when we work hard and that is we keep working hard good things will hap-pen as we improve to get even better as a team this season.” As for season expec-tations, Gervais is opti-mistic about the Terriers chances. “I feel that this team can succeed because there is a good mix of veterans along with young players that have been showing talent early on,” concludes Gervais. “We have a good goaltender coming back in Dawson (MacAuley) and a good coaching staff that knows how to prepare teams to win so if we all buy in to work hard to get to where we want to go anything is possible this season.”

Gervais to carry on winning tradition as captain

MacAuley returns from WHLCon’t from Page 11.

Starting 50 games for Regina, MacAuley finished with a 3.14 GAA and a 25-16-4 record with the Pats. That wasn’t enough for the club to warrant keeping him in the picture during his final Junior season as the Pats are continuing to try to build towards contending and will be going with younger options in goal, but MacAuley mentioned that he learned a lot in Regina during what was a year where the goalie proved him-self. “I learned a lot during my stay in Regina, including some scheduling stuff that I wasn’t as used to but it was a good experience as we got to the playoffs and I felt the jump up in play made me grow as a player.” Now 20 years old, MacAuley is now in a position where he is the experienced veteran after spending his time in Yorkton as the promising Junior prospect that had WHL ambitions when he took the Junior A world by storm in 2012/13 with a second half of the season that elevated the Terriers from one of the top teams in the league to champions after his hot streak between the pipes stole the job from Kale Thomson. Thomson then helped lead the Terriers to a clean sweep of the SJHL, Western Canada Cup and RBC Cup last season as one of the leaders on a team that leaves big shoes to fill even for players who have enjoyed success with the team. However, MacAuley knows that a big part of his focus relies on not putting too much pressure on him-self making his plan to lead by example and do what-ever he can to help the team win. “I don’t think about being a leader as something that has to do with age or anything like that,” mentioned MacAuley. “Just because I am now 20 doesn’t mean I am going to put too much pressure on myself in trying to lead because I feel that I can lead by playing to the best of my abilities in goal and being as focused as pos-sible so I try not to get overly focused on things like that because it is so important to maintain that focus during the game to make sure that pucks are staying out of the net.” Posting some amazing Junior A numbers in the SJHL where MacAuley helped the Terriers win memo-rable series against the Melville Millionaires and the Humboldt Broncos including a triple overtime classic in the final, MacAuley feels that he can be an elite goaltender in the SJHL again in his return. Mentioning that while he was disappointed to not be included in the Pats plans, he hopes to once again show that he can be one of the best goalies in Junior hockey without being in the WHL by becoming an elite goaltender in the SJHL. “I had a lot of success in the SJHL the first time around with the Terriers so I know there is something to build on to show that I can be one of the elite goal-tenders in Junior A,” MacAuley said. “We have a hard-working defence here and I feel that I have improved on my game a lot over the summer along with my expe-rience playing with the Pats so the next step is going to be to show that night in and night out whenever I am in net.” MacAuley seems to be genuinely excited about his chance to finish his career in Yorkton, making the best out of a situation where his age ruled him out in Regina in a common situation for 20 year old players in the WHL who get sent down to end their Junior careers at the SJHL level. While mentioning his disappointment things didn’t work out with the Pats after starting 50 times for the team last year, MacAuley did say that coming to Yorkton was the best possible situation after not making the team in Regina. “Obviously staying in the WHL with the Pats was going to be the first goal because I felt I had a shot at making the team, but it is a great experience to be back with the Terriers because this is a great coaching staff and group of players. I know everyone pretty well from the coaching staff and the new players are all talented hard workers so to come back to Yorkton is going to be a fun ride to see what we can do as a group this year as defending back to back champions.” Yorkton’s goaltending ranks were also boosted this week as Matt Kustra from the Prince George Cougars will be sticking around with the Junior A club, giving Cassan two talented goaltending options after things looked much more bleak at the beginning of training camp. If the Terriers former WHL goaltending tandem can use their disappointment to not stick around in the top league to motivate themselves to become the best goalies in the SJHL there may be a chance that for another year Yorkton will have the best goaltending in Junior A hockey. Looking to win a league title for a third straight time, the presence of Dawson MacAuley back in the Farrell Agencies Arena should make the city feel a lot better about their chances after the open-ing weekend of the 2014/15 SJHL season. If his stay is anything like the last time in Yorkton, MacAuley could be the X Factor that makes the rest of the SJHL worry even more about the back to back champs.
