Local airport funded: needed upgrades to commence By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer It’s an important investment for Yorkton and it’s another step towards a fully func- tional airport that can better serve the com- munity. Last week Yorkton/ Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz, on behalf of the federal government, presented a cheque for $250,000 to the city to put towards needed airport upgrades. The funding comes from the federal Government’s Community Infra- structure Improvement Fund (CIIF). Runway drainage as well as signage and lighting will all be upgraded. Changes will improve the movement of aircraft on the run- ways and make the air- port safer. The Yorkton airport is the second- busiest after Regina in southern Sask- atchewan. “Our Government is committed to creating jobs, growth and long- term prosperity in our communities,” says Breitkreuz. “And by improving facilities such as the Yorkton Municipal Airport, we are helping to boost economic activity and maintain a high quality of life for Canadians. “Facilities like this are very, very impor- tant. They serve the entire business commu- nity which provides a foundation for contin- ued economic growth.” With work slated for the summer, this will in turn create more jobs says Breitkreuz and greater prosperity for this area. This is good news for Yorkton, agrees Mayor Bob Maloney. “This sig- nificant funding helps us to move forward with much needed improvements to our airport infrastructure and will enhance our stature as the regional transportation hub of East-Central Sask- atchewan. “$250,000 is a large sum of money for the city. In the past num- ber of years through the Yorkton Airport Authority – and I want to congratulate the board – a lot of work has been done at the airport... and I think to councils credit, we’ve bought in. We’ve been spending money at the airport and help like this is just huge.” Much credit was given to the Airport Authorities current Board Chair, Ron Evinou who has been working hard to see that needed improve- ments happen. Unfortunately for the board, Evinou has announced he is step- ping down and moving to Ontario but will con- tinue to support local efforts the best he can. CIIF supports, on a cost-shared basis, repairs and improve- ments to existing com- munity infrastructure accessible to the public. Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) is delivering the Fund in Western Canada with an alloca- tion of $46.2 million over two years. Since 2006, the Harper Government, through WD, has invested in job-creating small and medium- sized businesses, aero- space, marine and defence industries, and supported innovative entrepreneurs in pur- suing emerging mar- kets.

Local airport funded: needed upgrades to commenceBy SHANNON DEVEAUN-R Writer

It’s an important investment for Yorkton and it’s another step towards a fully func-tional airport that can better serve the com-munity. Last week Yorkton/Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz, on behalf of the federal government, presented a cheque for $250,000 to the city to put towards needed airport upgrades. The funding comes from the federal Government’s Community Infra-structure Improvement Fund (CIIF). Runway drainage as well as signage and lighting will all be upgraded. Changes will improve the movement of aircraft on the run-ways and make the air-port safer. The Yorkton airport is the second-

busiest after Regina in southern Sask-atchewan. “Our Government is committed to creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity in our communities,” says Breitkreuz. “And by improving facilities such as the Yorkton Municipal Airport, we are helping to boost economic activity and maintain a high quality of life for Canadians. “Facilities like this are very, very impor-tant. They serve the entire business commu-nity which provides a foundation for contin-ued economic growth.” With work slated for the summer, this will in turn create more jobs says Breitkreuz and greater prosperity for this area. This is good news for Yorkton, agrees Mayor Bob Maloney. “This sig-

nificant funding helps us to move forward with much needed improvements to our

airport infrastructure and will enhance our stature as the regional transportation hub of

East-Central Sask-atchewan. “$250,000 is a large sum of money for the city.

Yorkton welcomes new doctor to the cityBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

He hasn’t had much time to unpack, but Dr. Yusuf Kasim is already making a difference for women in the region. The obstetrician and gynecol-ogist has recently opened a practice in the city. Kasim has been prac-ticing in Canada for a year, starting in New Brunswick for a three-month locum before mov-ing to Manitoba, and making his way to Estevan and then Yorkton. Before moving

to Canada, he worked in Ireland for six years and was a practicing obstetri-cian in Nigeria. “I felt I belonged in Saskatchewan... I have friends who have been working in Saskatchewan who have spoke well of the province, of a good family life... Coming to Yorkton, it’s a much big-ger center than where I was before. I’ll be able to practice more, and my colleagues have spoken well of the place,” Kasim says. He says that he has been seeing an increasing

number of patients, and a third gynecologist was necessary for the area, just due to patient work-load. Some of his early patients have been wait-ing to see a specialist for a long time, Kasim says, and he’s proud that he has been able to help women get the care they need quickly. He says that he can see more peo-ple in his field coming to the area as the region grows.

“I think the province and the region are work-ing towards reducing waiting times, so that patients don’t have to travel a long time to get their obstetrics and gyne-cological help,” Kasim says. Kasim says that the growth in the region has influenced how patients find their way to his office. He notes that while patients are normally referred to his office by a

family physician, many of his patients so far have arrived in the city recent-ly, and they don’t have a family physician yet, but know they need to see a gynecologist. He says he wants to work collabora-tively with family physi-cians to ensure the best care for his patients. He says he has seen patients from throughout the region, from as far away as Dauphin, MB. He says there’s a real

need for people to visit a specialist relatively near-by. “They don’t have a gynecologist there, so they prefer to come to Yorkton rather than going south to Brandon,” Kasim says. Kasim says that he is open to receiving new patients and hopes to con-tinue to grow his practice as he works in the area. People can contact his office at 782-2332.

DR. YUSUF KASIM is an obstetrician and gynecolo-gist, and has recently opened a practice in Yorkton. He is one of three OB/GYNs working in the city.

BIG WINNER – Steve Procyshen is sure to have a Merry Christmas driving around in a new car, as he’s the big winner of Yorkton Hyundai and Habitat for Humanity’s giveaway of a new Hyundai Accent. The draw raised $25,000 overall. Procyshen says he’s completely speechless, and that when he got the call he didn’t believe he had actually won. Apart from buying a ticket, Procyshen has also helped with two previous builds in the area.

The community pARTners art gallery in the Yorkton Public Library is hosting a new show that cele-brates decades of First Nations art in the prov-ince. Marking Time collects pieces from the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s permanent col-lection. Belinda Harrow, out-reach coordinator for the Saskatchewan Arts Board, says that the show collects pieces from four decades, from the ‘60s to today. The show mixes craft pieces and fine art, with the goal of representing a wide cross-section of First Nations artwork. “I think people appre-ciate seeing the skill involved in those works, and I wanted to show the patterns you see in those traditional craft styles is found now in the contemporary painting. Artists are looking back at the tra-ditional methods of making work and applying them to newer pieces,” Harrow says. She says that there are a number of themes that emerge in the dif-ferent pieces, with things like horses being a frequent cultural touchstone, for exam-ple. The show was origi-nally put together for Agribition, inspired by the artist in residence for that year, who was an aboriginal artist

focused on history. Harrow says that lead her to consider the Arts Board’s own history, as well as considering the wide variety of aborigi-nal art in the collection itself. Another one of Harrow’s goals for the show was to showcase some of the work that

doesn’t leave the per-manent collection as much. She says that many of the three-dimensional pieces don’t get seen as much, so the goal was to give people an opportunity to see them again. Marking Time will be at the Yorkton Public Library until the end of

April, and there are plans to make it a cen-terpiece of educational programming at the library. “This show has a lot of prominent First Nations artists in it, so it will be a nice draw for people. It’s varied, beautiful show,” Harrow says.

SPIRIT OF GIVING – Yorkton Lions Club members have been doing their part to ensure nobody gets left out this holiday season. In addition to volunteering time manning the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettles, they donated $500 towards the cause. Pictured, Lion President Peter Legebokoff presents a cheque to Gwen Sutherland, Kettle Campaign Coordinator.

THE NEWS REVIEW

Saskatchewan is on the up and up

Paying it forward, ran-dom acts of kindness or simply doing a good deed for another, expecting nothing in return – it’s not a new concept but it’s a simple action that every-one has it in them to do and it’s a concept that can really change lives. What does “Pay it Forward” Mean? “The expression “pay it for-ward” is used to describe the concept of asking that a good deed be repaid by having it done for others instead. It is to commit random acts of kindness, especially to strangers. It can be donating money or performing good deeds without hoping for recogni-tion or remuneration. It could be as simple as giving your time, talents and energy to improve the situa-tion and/or mood of others. Conducting these acts of kindness and generosity can make this world just a little more bearable for some and change lives for others. Whether the act is big or small “Paying it Forward” can build communities, and brings people together.” The idea has been resonating throughout local communities as of late because of the actions of a tiny, six year old boy. Canora’s Chase Kraynick was just six when his life was taken in a tragic accident but before he left us, he made a lasting impression

and touched the hearts of many. In 2011 Chase’s school decided to take on a “pay-ing it forward” project.Little Chase took the idea to heart. He shovelled driveways, he opened doors, his family says he was constantly thinking of new ways to give and to help others. Chase was just six and he made a dif-

ference. Can you imagine our world if everyone thought like Chase? In his memory, the concept is carrying on. It’s such a simple idea but think of the impact. You’re heading to the post office, in a rush, lots on your mind, bills to pay... we all know what that’s like. But imagine rather than the door slamming in your face, the person ahead of you holds it open with a smile and a hello. More likely than not, you’ll do the same for the next person... and so on, and so on. It chang-es the outcome of that morning and maybe a life. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee, smile, open doors, carry groceries, just get out in your community and be a good person – what’s the worst that can hap-pen? Instead of grumbling and complaining about our situations, try to find, and appreciate, the good – pay it forward and watch positive change happen.

The way I see it...

Since you’re reading this, you’re alive. As you are alive, you noticed that the world didn’t end on December 21, 2012. A while ago I put together a column on the absurdity of these apocalypse theories, and now I get to gloat a bit. All of the Mayan prophecy nonsense didn’t come to pass, because the Mayans didn’t make a prophecy and even if they did the calender created by a culture thousands of years ago really has nothing to do with our reality today. So why did this nonsense get traction? Well, for one, it was a way to make money. The people who pushed it hardest had books to sell about what they believed was going to happen. Some people decided to make a big budget film about the world exploding, and capi-talized on the goofy theory as a marketing angle. Some decided to sell products to people who somehow believed they would survive the world ending if they just had enough canned goods. It doesn’t matter if it was utter nonsense, it was still an opportunity to separate a fool from their money. The more difficult question is why the fools them-selves decided to believe in the ridiculous notions put forward about the 21st of the month. It’s not like this was the only time that we had an apocalypse on our hands, end of the world prophecies pop up frequently in human history, with charlatans convincing others

that all will end soon and they must prepare. I can remember at least four in my lifetime, and there have been various different predictions that have received various amounts of traction over the years. This latest threat was no different from the Great Disappointment in 1844, when the Millerites predicted that Jesus Christ would come back to earth and cleanse it with fire. People wanted to believe it was the end, even if it wasn’t. Why do people want to set the world on fire, so to speak? While I can’t speak for the people of 1844, in 2012 it is actually a relatively stressful time to be alive. There are economic problems in many nations,

especially in Europe and the United States, there are wars in the Middle East, and major environmental issues that are affecting the entire world. Right now, there are no clear solutions to any of the major prob-lems faced by different people in the world, and long term questions about what exactly will happen have no clear answer. But the end of the world, strangely, is a way to relieve that stress. You don’t have to think about solv-ing the world’s problems if it’s all going to disappear anyway. Long-term planning is difficult, and it’s hard to gauge how we are going to deal with the various problems the world is currently facing. Eliminate the possibility of the future, and while it may continue to be stressful, it’s also oddly liberating. People can then live like there is no tomorrow, and have the stress-free life that comes with pretending there are no conse-quences to your actions. Well, since the world is still around, we don’t have an easy way out. We’ve still got problems, we still need to plan for the future, and we’ve still got a big spinning marble that we have to keep in decent shape for the next generation down the line. For most of us, this has never changed, but for the people who thought it was all going to end, now they’ve lost their easy way out. Expect a new apocalypse prophecy within the decade.

At one point people were exiting the province at an alarming rate in search of greener pastures. Gone are those days. Saskatchewan is in fact, the place to be. Job numbers are climbing, wages are on the rise and opportunity is abound – naturally, this is all attracting more and more to the province. New population numbers released in December by Statistics Canada show that Saskatchewan grew by 6,606 people in the third quarter of 2012 to an all-time high of 1,086,564. From October 1, 2011 to October 1, 2012, Saskatchewan‘s population jumped by 23,024. That’s the most growth in a single year since 1921, beating the mark of 22,154 set in the previous quarter of this year. In spite of the challenges that growth brings with it, this is a win win situation for Saskatchewan residents. “Growth means more jobs and oppor-tunities for Saskatchewan people,” says Premier Wall. “It means more and more young people are choosing to stay in Saskatchewan after they finish their education instead of moving elsewhere. “Growth means that this fall, we were able to provide additional funding to schools with rapidly expanding enrol-ment while still maintaining the only balanced provincial budget in Canada. These are some of the benefits of a grow-ing province and that’s why we want it to continue.” Saskatchewan’s population grew by 2.16 per cent in the past year, second only to Alberta among Canadian prov-inces. Only Saskatchewan, Alberta and Newfoundland enjoyed positive inter-provincial migration (more people mov-ing in than moving out) in the past quar-ter. The Saskatchewan Plan for Growth laid out by the province sets a target of 1.2 million people living in Saskatchewan by 2020 and the premier says the prov-ince is on track to meet that goal. “A strong economy, a balanced budget, thousands of job opportunities – these are the foundations of a growing prov-ince and that’s why Saskatchewan is the place to be in Canada right now.” There’s no place like home.

To the Editor:

On Friday, March 11, 2011, a mag-nitude 9.0 earthquake of the coast of Japan wreaked havoc, damaging structures and generating a tsunami greatly amplifying the destruction and loss of life. It also triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power station. Ongoing monitoring of cesium levels in fi sh indicate that radiation continues to leak from the station. A committee of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Research Council is now touring Japan to determine what American nuclear power plant op-erators can learn from the disaster. What they’re learning from their Japanese hosts should interest all of us. Forget the earthquake and tsuna-mi. Japanese offi cials have told the American visitors that the causes of the Fukushima nuclear disaster were entirely man-made. It resulted from: 1) a lack of humility and 2) a reluctance to share informa-tion about nuclear power risks with regulators and the public. In other words, the root cause was a paternalistic arrogance of believ-ing to know what information is good for the public and what isn’t. Company offi cials said they feared openness would “make people worry about the safety” of nuclear power. Public confi dence trumping truth. This should interest all of us be-cause the trade-off between telling the truth and building confi dence isn’t reserved for the world of nuclear power regulation. What we are told about access to health care, the reli-ability of food inspection, the speed

of the justice system, emergency response capability, pipeline safety, pollution from industrial facilities, quality of municipal services, se-curity at the airport, and voting ir-regularities in the political system all contain confl icting obligations. What happens when the truth confl icts with the need to sell confi -dence? Fukushima happens. System failure is the inevitable consequence of these competing priorities. The American physicist Richard Feyn-man sums it up nicely; “...reality must take precedence over public re-lations, for nature cannot be fooled.” But why, when faced with these competing priorities, does industry and government not simply tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Why is the spinning, repackaging and cherry-picking to sell, or build public confi dence, in-evitable? The answer lies in a short, 12 page paper called The Market for Lemons that earned its author, George Akerlof the Nobel Prize. Think of buying a used car. The owner knows more about the car than you do, so it’s worth your while to discount what you are being told and the price. In other words, you should assume the car isn’t as good as you’re being told. This discount-ing behaviour is refl ected back to sellers, so they increasingly bring lemons to the marketplace while exaggerating the quality to consum-ers. This causes buyers to further discount what they are being sold. This cycle repeats until the market becomes dominated by lemons, dis-honest sellers, and ripped-off con-sumers. Akerlof demonstrated that in any market where one side has more information than the other (called

asymmetries of information), the quality of goods sold will decrease, sellers become increasingly dishon-est, and buyers are increasingly taken advantage of. This explains why American banks bought mort-gage backed securities leading to the crash of 2008, why competitive bidding ensures too much is paid for too little, and why projects tend to go over budget. It also explains why government and industry spends so much effort at spinning and repackaging infor-mation before releasing it to the public. Audits, satisfaction surveys, performance targets and reporting, impact studies, ‘public education’ campaigns, and positive press re-leases populated with too-good-to-be-true information are used more to build confi dence and sell posi-tions than report the facts. What the Japanese have learned from Fuku-shima, and what we need to learn as well, is that these actions inevitably produce declining performance and failure. A new form of regulatory body is being proposed in Japan with the aim of removing asymmetries of information among companies, gov-ernment, regulators and the public. If this sounds like transparency, you’re right. But, ironically, trans-parency has become a sound bite used to sell the concept rather than live it. Making transparency real re-quires rules and guidelines concern-ing how information is reported and presented. The only thing standing in the way are those believing they know what’s best for you.

To the Editor:

Nine billion people. This will be the popu-lation of our planet by 2050, according to the United Nations, and it seems like a pretty fair bet given that we just welcomed the seven billionth person last fall. CropLife Canada and the Grain Growers of Canada believe this population size is in fact sustainable and that Canada can play a leadership role in helping to feed the world. Already, even after Canada has consumed all the home grown food it needs, we are left with an additional $9 billion worth of crops and food products to sell to the world. We need to do more, though, than simply export food from Canada. We also need to export the tools for economic development and growth. This is why we are highly supportive of the Canadian International Development Agen-cy’s new Economic Growth Strategy. CIDA has a long and proud history of de-livering Canadian aid during times of crisis, but it also has a strong track record of fos-tering long-term development. Many may be surprised to learn that rapidly emerging and modern markets such as Brazil, Thailand, Costa Rica and South Korea were all devel-opment partners of CIDA until very recently. What CIDA can help to do, and what it plans to do with its new strategy, is help govern-ments in developing countries to build the necessary legislative and regulatory frame-works to allow for economic growth. From our perspective, fair, transparent, science based regulation has been vital to our suc-cess, both in Canada and abroad. When in-vestors see a stable, predictable regulatory environment, they see a place primed for suc-cess. That is what they see in Canada, and that is what we need them to see in emerging markets. There is also recognition from CIDA that government alone cannot do it all, and that leveraging the strength of the private sector will help to maximize the investments of Ca-nadian taxpayers. Globally, we have already seen many examples of private sector involve-ment in highly successful projects such as: • Cassava is a vital crop in many parts of Africa. The Bill and Melinda Gates Founda-tion is supporting the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and partners in the BioCas-sava Plus project. This is designed to develop cassava varieties with higher levels of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, as well as iron, and protein. This research is developing varieties appropriate for small farmers in Nigeria and Kenya, where cassava is widely consumed and nutrient defi ciencies are prevalent. • By sharing agricultural knowledge with the public International Maize and Wheat Im-provement Centre, private sector companies have helped to develop new commercially available maize varieties that adapt to local conditions in developing nations, and wheat varieties protected against diseases that can wipe out entire crops. • The private sector has supported the South African Developing Agriculture Proj-ect, working with local farmers to increase and safeguard crop yields by adopting mod-ern agriculture practices. In the Canadian agricultural sector, our Canadian farmers and crop science members are keenly interested in international devel-opment, and want to do what they can to as-sist in strengthening agriculture in emerg-ing markets. Agriculture often provides the fi rst and most accessible export products for emerging economies – if host governments welcome modern agriculture, and embrace science-based regulation, a thriving agricul-ture sector can follow. Canada can, and must, do more to help hu-mankind around the globe. We need to do it, however, in a smart, stra-tegic manner, partnering with public institu-tions, utilizing the market place and maximiz-ing the innovative capacities of the private sector to make it happen.

A new way forwardCost of gov’t/corporate dishonesty

To the Editor:

It was two-and-a-half years ago – way back in mid-2010 – when Liberals stood alone to question the Harper government’s se-cretive, headlong rush to spend mega-billions buy-ing a fl eet of “stealth” war-planes. The whole thing just didn’t smell right. Yes, the RCAF’s existing CF-18 fi ghter-jets are ageing and will have to be replaced within 10 years or so. But the government provided no explanation of the de-fense and foreign policy mandates our airforce will be expected to discharge in the decades going forward, nor how this particular airplane is best suited to fi ll those needs. Worse still, contrary to

all the rules, the Conser-vatives insisted on “sole-sourcing” this purchase. In other words, there would be no competitive bidding process among several potential aircraft manufacturers; instead, the government would just hand the contract to Lock-heed-Martin corporation – making this the biggest boondoggle in military procurement in Canadian history. Liberals repeatedly asked questions about the pur-pose for this purchase, the technical specifi cations, the constantly balloon-ing costs, and the govern-ment’s non-competitive procedure that bypassed at least four other major international suppliers. In his usual surly way, Mr. Harper accused every

questioner of being dis-loyal to Canada and our military. Worse still, the Conservatives were delib-erately deceitful about the money. They kept two sets of fi gures to hide the true horrendous costs. But despite all the stone-walling, the truth began to trickle out in a skepti-cal analysis earlier this year by the Parliamen-tary Budget Offi cer (PBO). His fi ndings were later confi rmed by the Auditor-General. They system-atically demolished all the phony stories about costs starting at $9-billion, ris-ing to $16-billion, and then $25-billion and more. The government scram-bled to get yet another opinion. So now there’s a private sector audit by KPMG, setting the real

expense at something over $40-billion. This bungled project de-stroys any notion of Mr. Harper and his regime be-ing good economic manag-ers. Their arrogance and incompetence have ex-posed taxpayers to huge, unnecessary risks. And then they tried desperate-ly to hide it, until the PBO and the Auditor-General blew the whistle on their years of deceit. In a rare moment of can-dour last week, the Public Works Minister admitted to Parliament that Con-servative “openness and transparency” on the F-35 fi asco began only AFTER the Auditor-General laid bare their chicanery.

F-35 fi asco exposes dishonesty/incompetence

(Editors Note, the following is an Open Letter to Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper.)

To the Editor:

On behalf of the National Execu-tive of the Assembly of First Na-tions, we write today regarding an urgent matter requiring immediate attention. As First Nations leaders from coast-to-coast-to coast, those with inherent rights and title and those with whom the Crown has entered into Treaty, we collectively raise our voices about the critical situation facing First Nations. On December 11th, 2012, Chief Teresa Spence commenced a hun-ger strike to call attention to the dire conditions which many First Nations communities and peoples face, and to protest the disrespect and shameful treatment of First

Nations by the Government of Can-ada. She has stated that she will remain on this hunger strike until a meeting is achieved between the Crown (including provincial Crown representatives where the provin-cial Crown is involved as in Treaty 9) and all Treaty First Nations to discuss the Treaty relationship and our respective obligations and outstanding issues. This situation creates an urgency that is foremost in our minds and is a direct corre-lation to the humanitarian crises being faced in many First Nations communities today. The Government of Canada has not upheld nor fulfi lled its respon-sibilities to First Nations, as com-mitted to by the Crown including at the Crown-First Nations Gathering January 2012. Canada has not up-held the Honour of the Crown in its dealings with First Nations, as evi-

denced in its inadequate and ineq-uitable funding relationships with our Nations and its ongoing actions in bringing forward legislative and policy changes that will directly impact on the Inherent and Treaty Rights of First Nations. Treaties are international in nature and further indigenous rights are human rights, both collective and individual and must be honoured and respected. We seek an immediate commit-ment to a meeting with you as the representative of the Crown, to-gether with the Prime Minister of Canada, to demonstrate respect and attention to the priorities set by First Nations. All First Nations across Canada stand united and in solidarity in advancing this urgent call for action and attention.

National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo

SAFETY FIRST – The Yorkton Regional High School Student’s Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) Chapter recently held a Check Stop event in partnership with the RCMP and Fire Department to help raise awareness of the dangers of driving while under the influence. In two hours more than 500 red ribbons were handed out to motorists in Yorkton. The ribbons are designed to be attached to a car aerial or mirror to serve as a visual reminder to make the responsible choice to not drink and drive. The YRHS SADD group reminds residents during this holiday season that “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drinks and Drive.”

This Christmas sea-son is very difficult for those of us who have experienced a loss of any kind. It does not feel like a time to cele-brate, to shop, to deco-rate, or even for family gatherings. As a matter of fact we may be wishing that we could go to sleep in December and wake up some time in January and all this Christmas stuff was over. The Christmas story is to be a story of hap-piness – for it is the GOOD NEWS – the birth of a baby that is the Savior of the world. Often we are so busy with the hustle and bustle of Christmas to notice the pain the peo-ple also must have experienced during this time- The deep pain, sadness, worry, the endless tears that were shed, the sleepless nights, the anxiety and the fear. Let’s just take a clos-er look at the Christmas story, and we will find many anxious, scared and tearful times. • Mary – a young unwed women – in labor, scared- alone in a stable away from the comforts of home and family. How hard this must have been for this young lady. One can’t even imagine the anxi-ety and pain she was going through. I am sure many tears were shed by her that night. • Joseph – so embarrassed that he thought he would dis-miss Mary quietly on the side and just walk away from this entire picture. How difficult was this for him? Joseph no doubt had many sleepless nights of anxiety on his jour-ney to Bethlehem. How

would he support a wife and a new baby? • Then we hear of frightened shepherds in the fields as they were greeted by angels in the night sky. They must have been terri-fied to hear and see this unfold before their eyes. Were they hear-ing and seeing things? Were they going crazy? Difficult times were experienced by Mary, Joseph, shepherds, wise men, not to men-tion the pain of the people of Egypt. I think there are more tears in the Christmas story than there were times of joy. Like people in the Christmas story we too have some very great fears, times of great pain, anxiety and sad-ness. But we also have the reassurance of a God who loves us and cares for us. We need not fear or be anxious or worried about our tomorrows. As we remember days of the past we can remember comfort and compassion that was poured out on us abun-dantly by family and friends who walked with us on our life jour-ney. Without these peo-ple in our lives it would have been very difficult to make it though the first few days, weeks, month and years of our grief. God puts people in our path to give us com-fort and compassion.

We give God thanks for the gift of friends and family. We recall the gift of memories. Not all memories are happy ones. Emotions run high and often misun-derstandings do hap-pen within families. We are all human and we make mistakes. Bad memories will quickly fade and the good memories will prevail. We recall gath-erings and joyous times we shared- The love that was given and received. We give God thanks for the gift of memories. We were created to love each other and to care for one another. God showed us his end-less love when he sent his son into the world. ‘Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.’ – Freya Stark

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 23rd of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Well, it had to happen. We didn’t want to lose the drakes, so we placed the large dipping vat on top of the burning wood in the fire pit, filled it with water and added the feather off (laundry detergent). We enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea while the water was warming up, and I non-chalantly sauntered over to check on the drakes. They were also relaxing with their beaks tucked nicely under their wings, blissfully unaware of what was going to happen next. I will spare you the gory details. Suffice it to say that the execution was swift; in fact the drakes lost their heads! They are now dressed and in our freezer. Sorry Mrs. Foxy and Mr. Coyote, but you are not invited to this din-ner! The entrails of the drakes had been discard-ed into a plastic bag that had been placed inside a large garbage pail. My wife was sitting outside relaxing with a cup of tea, with our dog Lady at her side. All of a sudden the hair on Lady’s back stood straight up and she was barking towards the bush-es. Marion heard some grunting and heavy foot-steps rumbling through the bushes. We are fairly certain that a black bear had smelled a free meal, but got scared off by Lady and Marion! Talking about wild life, apart from my wife and I, there are an abundant number of wild animals that comes into the yard or the corral, causing great excitement for our dogs. I just hope that there is no hunter chasing after the deer, elk or moose that wanders through, and start shoot-ing at our horses! Coyotes and foxes are everyday occurrences as are rac-coons, and of course our resident woodchuck! We have even seen a bald eagle soaring in the air and settling on a tree top as well! This is like living in a Canadian wild ani-mal zoo! The question is: “Who’s running it?” “The horses are out! The horses are out!” says my wife on the phone. The store proprietor at Hazel Dell had phoned her in Preeceville to tell her that. I was working in my office and had not

noticed. “We don’t have any oats,” she continued excit-edly, “so just put some chicken layer ration in the small white bucket and shake it. The horses will think its oats and will follow you!” I did as she asked, put some layer ration in the bucket and started walking out the driveway. I called for the horses, and by the time I got to the end of the drive-way, they were coming galloping towards me. I turned, shook the bucket and the three of them started to crowd me. I had Spur on my left side and Leonard on my right, both trying to get their muzzles into the bucket. Mickey was right behind me breathing down my neck and trying to get at the bucket over my shoul-der, resulting in his nos-tril blowing hot air into my ear! I had to get in front of them, so I started to run thinking: “Old man, you’re gonna pay for this tomorrow!” I haven’t done any seri-ous running since my last marathon about 20 years ago, and here I’m doing a 300 yard dash in rubber boots amongst fit horses! The horses kept pace with me and looked at me as if they were saying: “Is this all you got for speed old man?” They were still try-ing to get at the bucket and they laid their ears back as they were getting a bit upset that I didn’t allow them access. I man-aged to hold them off and got them into the corral. I put down the bucket; the horses took turns smell-ing it and walked away while looking at me in disgust! Phew! Totally out of breath, I called my wife back and told her the horses were back in the corral, but that they got a little cranky when they real-ized that there were no oats in the bucket. “Well yes,” she said, I didn’t want to upset you by tell-

ing you that, but I was hoping you would manage anyway.” What a gal! I did a temporary fix on the fence where they got out, but by the time my wife got home they were out again. She got them this time, and she also fixed the fence while I cooked supper. Scientists have long been curious about why no penguin corpses are found frozen in the ice pack. What happens to their bodies when they die? Roald Amundson the famous Norwegian South Pole explorer observed the penguins in their hab-itat. He found that pen-guins are very ritualistic birds and they live an extremely ordered and complex life. The pen-guins are very committed to family, generally mates for life, and usually main-tain contact with its off-spring throughout its life. When a penguin is found dead on the ice sur-face, members of the fam-ily and social circle dig a hole in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing: “Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow! Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow!” Then they very carefully push the deceased into the ice hole!

YORKTON TERRIERS head into the holiday break with the SJHL’s best record. The Terriers are 24-8-1 to sit atop of the SJHL with 49 points, four points clear of Notre Dame’s 45 points.

Terriers head into break with bar high

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

Twenty-four wins. Eight losses. One shootout loss. Forty-nine points. First place in the SJHL. These are the numbers that have the Terriers as the talk of the SJHL and expectations and spirits high as play-ers and coaches head home for the SJHL’s Christmas break. The Terriers sit atop their division and the league by a four point margin and hold the league’s best of-fense with 129 goals scored in 33 games. The Terriers also hold the league’s sec-ond best defense , a balance that can be attributed to the fact that they hold the deep-est roster in the league, re-turning much of the 2011/12 roster with fresh faces who have stepped up and fi lled their roles. “Depth was always the goal for us when we pieced together this roster, and now we have the team we wanted and got a lot of guys back from last year to give us a balanced roster” said Terriers head coach Trent Cassan. A big part of the change has been the improvement in goal with the tandem of Kale Thomson and Dawson MacAuley giving the Ter-riers quality goaltending night in and night out. Save for the diffi cult stretch at the start of November when the Terriers were on the road

for the weeks and Thomson has been on fi re. A backup last season with MacAu-ley behind Warren Shymko in what was a goaltending carousel of sorts, Thomson has picked up his game in getting the majority of the starts this season his 14-4-1 record is second best in the league and a 2.48 GAA and .917 save percentage rounds out some solid statistics for the Yorkton product who has played his entire hockey career with the Harvest/Ter-riers. MacAuley has been equally as good in the num-ber two role, going 7-2 with a 2.27 GAA and a .914 save percentage. A defense that is loaded in all three defensive pairings after the returns of John Neibrandt and Austin Bourhis has contributed to the hot goaltending, but the Terriers tandem has gener-ally made all of the saves required to win so far. On offense balance has been the key with no real standout players. Nathan Murray leads the team with 32 points and has been huge as a prototypical power for-ward at left wing, but seven other Terriers have twenty points on the year in the fi rst 33 games. That balance on all four lines has created a scenario where one player can be the hero on any given night, something that has been seen on multiple oc-casions this year. To drive that statistic home the Ter-riers leading goal scorer has only 16 goals with a handful

of others right behind with 15, giving them an offense that can’t be contained by shutting down one line, something that will prove valuable in the spring and the playoffs. Brady Norrish has led all defensemen in points for the Terriers this year with 21 and is a huge feature on the powerplay. Being in fi rst place with twenty games left in the regular season has the Ter-riers heading into Janu-ary/February with serious momentum and the goal of fi rst place in the league and home ice advantage will be the focus going forward. Cassan feels good going into the break, “We have some good momentum going into the break and it is nice for the guys to get home to see their friends and families and heal some injuries so go-ing forward we will be focus-ing on getting guys healthy and continuing the desire for success and keep work-ing hard on and off the ice to prepare for playoffs.” Of the Terriers fi nal twen-ty games, six will be against Notre Dame and Melville who are chasing them in the Sherwood Division. The Terriers fi nal two meetings with the Mils will be Decem-ber 30, and New Years Day while four meetings with the Hounds are on the horizon after an intense game at the FAA before the break that evened their season series at a win a piece. The Terriers will travel to Wilcox to face

the Hounds on January 8 and 19 and host the Hounds February 1 and 13 to wrap up a season series that will likely feature the key games needed for the Terriers to secure home ice advantage. The Terriers will start their post Christmas sched-ule with their longest road trip of the year as a three game Northern road trip to Wilcox, La Ronge and Ni-pawin will see the Terriers away from the FAA for thir-teen days. Another three game road trip will consist of three of the Terriers fi nal four games they head to Flin fl on, Melfort and Nipawin before ending the regu-lar season off on February 24 against the Battlefords Stars. An even ten home and away games in the fi nal twenty games will see the Terriers attempt to hold onto their four point lead atop the Sherwood and clinch the all important home ice advantage, but for now the Terriers are going to enjoy Christmas holidays atopthe SJHL. After last year’s early exit, there will be no complaints. The next twenty games will determine a lot, but one thing is for certain. As long as the Terriers stay healthy, they will be in the playoffs, and they will be ready to contend. With a balanced team and veteran players all around, it is hard to argue that the Terriers aren’t the favorites at the Christmas break.

It is the holiday season and the year is coming to an end. It has been a year fi lled with every-thing from triumph, to tragedy and anything in between. So because I am lazy and really needed a quick column idea this week I give you the 2012 Christ-mas Edition of Ruttig’s Rants, a year in review if you will. Local Sports Story of the Year: Obviously Jarrett Stoll winning the Stanley Cup with the LA Kings is a no brainer for this award. Runner ups go to the YRHS Sr. Basketball and Football teams for their lengthy runs in the provincial playoffs with the basketball side fi nishing third and the football team losing in the MJHSFL Champi-onship, I am sure I am missing something in what was a good year for local sports, but those are my three.

National Sports Sto-ry of the Year: I hate to bring it up at Christ-mas time, but the NHL Lockout has invaded our newstreams and televisions so much that it has to be the story of the year for all the wrong reasons. Game of the Year: This one was hard to give out seeing as I watch a ton of sports and a lot gets me off my seat, but it would have to go to the Olympic Women’s Soc-cer Semifi nal between the US and Canada. It had everything from Canada taking the lead again and again. The individual domi-nance of Christine Sin-clair, whose three goals were the biggest of hat tricks, to the heart-break of the nation on the controversial deci-sions given by the ref-eree and the late extra time goal to pour salt in the wounds. Canada got

jobbed, but the game was a rollercoaster on a August long weekend that captivated anyone in front of the television Scrooge of the Year: Gary Bettman. Who else? “Saint” of the Year: For the lack of a bet-ter term the opposite of the NHL story has been Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pa-gano and his fi ght with cancer during 2012. Pagano’s fi ghting spirit has inspired countless

of people and in a year with so many negatives, his has been a posi-tive with his return to coaching Monday sure to bring smiles to many during the holiday sea-son. Santa of the Year: This one goes to Toron-to Blue Jays GM and Spellcheck Hall of Fame member Alex Anthopou-los for giving Toronto Blue Jays Fans so many early Christmas pres-ents you might have to call it Hanukkah. Three

starting pitchers and two elite hitters come into a team that was on the brink of becoming a playoff team, Jays fans have no complaints with what was under their tree this year. Athlete of the Year: It won’t be the most popular pick due to soc-cer’s stigma in North America but Lionel Messi breaking the all-time record for goals in a single season with 90, (and still counting) can’t be matched by any athlete. Sure Usain Bolt’s Olympic run was great, but Messi domi-nated all 365 days of the 2012 calander and he is my choice for top athlete. Canadian Athlete of the Year: Another on pitch star gets the nod, and a female as Chris-tine Sinclair stole all of the Olympic spotlight and vaulted Canada to a bronze and a hat trick in that instant classic

semifi nal against the United States. Her post game comments after the controversy of the semifi nal loss epito-mized the Canadian spirit despite earning her punishment from FIFA, she truly was the highlight of the summer of 2012 and there is no other Canadian athlete who even came close in this discussion. The year 2012 will go down as a year of a lot of memories for myself and in Canadian sports. I started this job and this column on June fi rst and have never looked back, there has been a Stanley Cup brought to Yorkton, an Olympics in London, a Riders playoff loss, and everything in between. I have enjoyed fi lling this page with my random thoughts for the past six or so months and look forward to more in 2013. Happy New Year!

The Yorkton United Football Club recently had a successful trip to the Regina RAZ tourna-ment with all four boys teams winning gold. The U-10 boys won their final by defeating REU Rangers 2-nil, whole

the U-12’s won a thrilling final with QC United 4-3 to take gold themselves to start off what was a romp for the Yorkton club on the weekend. The U-14’s took care of business as well taking out the ACFC Pumas 2-nil and the U-16 boys won their second tournament of the young season with

a 2-nil victory of their own over the UCT Mustangs. A second tournament victory has the U-16 boys as the favorites to win at Provincials later this win-ter and the strong show-ings of all four teams shows that Yorkton soccer has a bright future in its youth program.

YUFC has golden weekend

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

Local runner Bernie Wlock recently organized a trip for a group of runners to take part in the Las Vegas Rock N Roll Marathon. A group of dedicated distance runners joined up to hit one of the biggest marathons Wlock has ever attended. “I wasn’t sure what to expect com-ing in as this was probably the largest marathon I have entered, there were thousands of people running and I was really impressed with how the marathon was organized,” said Wlock. The Rock N Roll Marathon Series has 29 stops all over the world and the

Las Vegas edition of the marathon series is one of the longest running in the United States with the Las Vegas Marathon being an event since 1967 before being introduced into the series in 2009. The race runs along the strip and throughout most of Las Vegas Boulevard as a half marathon and partners live music and bands with the sights of Las Vegas as its main attraction. Wlock was happy with how the event went and the group he orga-nized and said he and other runners have plans to run around Canada and in Saskatchewan with Wlock planning on doing a 10k event in high altitude in Colorado as his next big running challenge.

Royal Ford gives back to YRHSBy CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

It’s a special time for Yorkton Regional High School and the Yorkton United FC Soccer Club. This week, Royal Ford presented the YRHS with a $1900 cheque, and the Yorkton United FC Soccer Club with a $2900 cheque. Royal Ford and Yorkton and area resi-dents raised the funds at two recent test-drive events held over the summer and fall, as part of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited’s Drive One 4 UR School/Community

program. The YUFC held a mini soccer festi-val in the summer to kick off its 2012 season and had their Test Drive promotion on that day with all teams from every age level partici-pating and bringing in parents and fans to come test drive new Ford vehicles as part of the promotion. The Drive One 4UR Your School / Community program is an innovative program launched by Ford. A vehicle at the Yorkton United FC Soccer event this fall, For each vehi-cle driven at the event Ford donates $20 to the

community program that is a part of the fundraiser. At the YUFC event ninety people drove vehicles which raised roughly $1900 for the club which helps in paying for equipment, uniforms, and league operating costs. The YRHS event saw roughly 190 people drive vehicles raising an extra $1000 for the school and the money will go to extra-curricu-lar activities and pro-grams for the local high school. “This is such a great program, because it really allows us to help community groups raise

significant funds, quick-ly and easily. We’re really pleased to be able play a role in making a difference for all these organizations that do so much for so many in our community,” said Terry Ortynsky, owner Royal Ford who was more than pleased to give back to the city and the high school. Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School and Community

programs in 2010, more than 77,000 test-drives at more than 500 events have generated over $1 million in donations for schools and organiza-tions in Canada, mak-ing it an extremely pop-ular fundraising event across the country and now in Yorkton. Sponsorship Director for YUFC Thor Berge was extremely pleased with Ford’s help in operating the event and

Terry Ortynsky and Royal Ford’s commit-ment to local sport say-ing, “We want to say a very special thank-you to Royal Ford for offer-ing us this event. The funding raised in the event was really a God-send. It will allow us to pay for equipment and program costs for the community soccer pro-gram, which benefits so many youth in and around Yorkton.”
