DANCE AWAY – The end of the year is a time to celebrate, and Dr. Brass School recently took the opportunity to celebrate the wrap of 2012 with dance. Pictured above, the Asham Stompers entertain students and parents alike at the event.

A new year and a time to focus on growth: MaloneyBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The City of Yorkton saw big projects come to a conclusion in 2012, and now it’s time for the city to focus on infrastruc-ture. That’s the message from Mayor Bob Maloney, who recently spoke to The News Review about the year that was. The past year saw the water treatment plant open its doors, the big-gest project in the city’s history. Maloney says that it was a rare project that saw federal and provincial money, and that the design of the

facility could influence other municipalities, given that it is green in a way that’s less expen-sive. The year also saw what Maloney describes as “annexation peace” finally arriving, as deals were reached to annex land from the RM of Orkney and the RM of Wallace. He says he doesn’t expect to have to revisit any deals for the next four years. He’s also optimistic about the future relationship between the city and the RMs. He says that the relationship with the RM of Wallace has

always been a positive one, and he hopes to build the same kind of relationship with Orkney. “I think we’ll have improving relations with the RM of Orkney... They’ve got some new people over there as well, so we’re hopeful we can

foster improving rela-tions, because there’s no reason to have to go to municipal boards and things like this, because at the end of the day I think there was $2,000 difference between what we offered originally and what they ended up with. It’s just silly, because

when you look at law-yers’ bills on both sides we should be able to work together better than we have,” he sug-gests. Another highlight for the community was receiving the Aviva Community Fund dol-lars to build the skate board park. He says that the city was glad to help out, but the community was the real force behind getting the project built. “You have to give the skateboard community credit for that, because they did the real hauling on that, getting the votes and that type of thing.

Council is happy to help out, but without the funding from Aviva it would have been difficult to get that project going,” Maloney says. He adds, the project also demonstrates the importance of getting the community involved in things like planning and development. The project was something that Maloney admits he didn’t expect to be as big as it was, but that shows the importance of having input from outside coun-cil to give a different per-spective.

This is part of the rea-son the city is focused on getting involved in com-munity planning, includ-ing a new cultural plan coming in 2013. Growth is going to be a major issue in the city continuing into the future, especially after a year which saw building permits increase to $82 million. Maloney suspects that part of the reason for the growth is speculation surrounding potash mines in the area, and the city needs to prepare for that growth, which could result in higher rent and housing costs. “There is a downside to that, you see inflation when communities grow this quickly. As a coun-cil, we worry about that, because we would like to see housing as affordable as it can be, but you’re conflicted. Cities don’t build housing. We need to have people building houses, we need develop-ers, we need apartments, so we have to work with the province to make sure the tax climate is there so people can invest in apartments and get a return on investment,” Maloney says. While the boom does come with challenges, he says that it’s an exciting time for the City of Yorkton. “Any time you see more businesses opening and things happening it’s good for your communi-ty. It draws more people to the city, and when they’re here they go to more than one business,” Maloney says. There will be new housing starts, including Head Start on the Home projects in entry level housing. He says that the housing committee,

with Tom Seeley and Ron Skinner, have been doing excellent work, and it’s an area that will be a priority in the future. One of the reasons why is the potential expan-sion of the Parkland College, which Maloney says he is hoping to see an announcement on in March. The proposed Trades and Technology Center would bring students to the city, so student hous-ing will be part of that project. The ongoing project would be fulfilling needs in the province, Maloney says, but it needs provin-cial support to go ahead, and he says that if the project gets announced it would attract people to the community and cause good things to happen in the city. “If it was a matter of just the bricks, that’s not the problem, it’s a mat-ter of the staff and the ongoing expenses when you have a college,” Maloney says. Drainage is going to be the major project for the city in 2013, with new ponds being built and the city’s current drain-age system being exam-ined. Maloney says that getting the drainage sys-tem in order is expen-sive, but the problems need to be fixed. “We’re finding a lot of problems, with root intrusion and debris. I mean, shopping carts and railroad ties that find their way into these things... People are throwing stuff into ditch-es, and of course as it washes through you have to haul all that stuff out of there... We’re getting that work done, it’s expensive and it’s boring but if the pipes are blocked the ponds aren’t

going to do you a lot of good,” Maloney says. He doesn’t expect to see any huge projects on the horizon in 2013, so the city will be focused on getting on top of infra-structure and paying off debts.

Infrastructure the focus

CANDLE OF HOPE – Sacred Heart High School students and staff spread the Christmas spirit leading up to the Christmas break. The annual Candle of Hope project took on an extra facet this year as the school helped the Yorkton Hyundai dealer-ship with their Drive away Hunger cam-paign, donating several boxes of non-per-ishable food items. The collection of these goods was spear-headed by the school’s SADD group and was carried out through the period one classes. The Candle of Hope took on its next phase that involved period three classes taking collections that were to be used for purchasing presents and providing dona-tions to both the Soup Haven and The Salvation Army. The generosity of the stu-dents and staff helped provide several gifts and donations of 380 dollars to both the Soup Haven and Salvation Army. This project was started years ago when the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate ran Sacred Heart High School. The Sisters

reached out to the poor of our community in many ways. The Candle of Hope project has since taken on many different looks throughout the years helping those less fortunate in Yorkton and area. The Spirit of Christmas is definitely shared through the generosity of the many who make this a success each year. “We had a Grade 9 math class that took on the challenge with great enthusiasm. They were able to raise well over one hun-dred dollars as a group. They truly looked beyond just their own needs,” says Scott Hoffort who helps coordinate this project. “We just want to do our part as a school in helping out the community in any way we can.” With another successful project completed, Sacred Heart High School looks forward to next year and another opportunity to help build the Kingdom of God right here and now. Pictured, Maddie Shearer drops off a cheque for 380 dollars plus several toys that were donated by students and staff.

Tobacco reduction If you’ve been thinking on quitting, now may be the perfect time. The Sunrise Health Region is reminding residents that there are many resources available to assist in quit-ting smoking. “With the New Year upon us, now may be the ideal time to make a resolution to quit.” In Canada, 20.8 per cent of the population smoke tobacco; in Sunrise HealthRegion, 29.4 per cent of the population smoke tobacco (source: Sunrise Health Region Health Status Report 2012). These numbers are among the highest rates of tobacco use in the country. There are many reasons why it is hard to quit smok-ing and it can take several attempts before a person is successful. Cigarettes and other forms of tobacco contain nicotine, a powerful, addictive drug.

Nicotine can make users feel stimulated, and smokers’ bodies and brains get used to nicotine. Smoking also becomes part of a routine. In order to successfully quit smoking, new routines need to be established. Statistics indicate that quitting “cold turkey” has a five per cent success rate, medi-cation doubles the rate of success in quitting tobacco use and combining medication with brief advice increases your “quit attempt” by six times (or 30 per cent). Counseling, medications and other supports are available from a variety of organiza-tions to help in the effort to quit smoking. Links to a wide variety of resources including the Canadian Cancer Society, the Partnership to Assist with Cessation of Tobacco (PACT), the Province of Saskatchewan and the Lung Association are available on the Sunrise Health Region website under “Champion your Health/Reduce Tobacco Use” (www.sunrisehealthregion.sk.ca). The Sunrise Health Region Tobacco Reduction Action Plan has been developed as a two pronged approach to eliminate tobacco use on all health facility grounds by July 1, 2013 and for on-going reduction of tobacco consumption in our communities. Education and smoking cessation tools are currently being developed to help employees, patients and residents in the region who wish to quit smoking and reduce tobacco consumption and the harmful effects of second-hand smoke. – Submitted by the Sunrise Health Region

Stop smoking with support

If we are like most people, we just can’t help it. There is something about the start of the New Year that makes us want to make a new and fresh start. We want to make a new beginning. As we approached a New Year we often make promises or resolutions which we hope to accomplish and carry out in the New Year. What resolutions have we made? Our thoughts often turn to improving ourselves. I will lose weight. I will stop smoking. I will stop drinking. I will exercise more. I will be a better parent and spouse... And the list goes on. But for most of us, by mid February we have given up or we lose heart and the New Year’s promise/resolution has been broken. The problem with these promises or resolutions is that they are all self centered. We focus on the end result and not on the process. Now I am not saying that it is wrong to try to improve one’s self – it is indeed good and worthwhile to try improve one’s health, and life style. For some of us it is hard to make changes. For many, January is the dark and depressing month. The cold frigid temperatures often keep us indoors more than we would like to be indoors. For some of us, January is also the time when all the Christmas bills start to roll into our homes causing more stress in our homes and families.If we have experienced a death this past year- our thoughts will still focus around our loss and that is where it needs to be right now. We need to grieve

before we can heal and move forward in the New Year. We all want this coming year to be better than last year was – even if last year was a good year for us. So how can we make 2013 a better year? Often we overlook the things that are the most valuable to us. Let us turn our attention and our thoughts to the things that are most valued and most meaningful to us. Perhaps then our New Year’s resolution would look somewhat different. For most of us, our family and friends play a very important role in our lives. Perhaps our New Year’s resolutions could focus on our relationships with others and the relationship we have with our Creator instead of focusing on ourselves. What would our New Year’s resolution look like now? Would the focus have changed? So how can we make our New Year’s resolution a life changing event, and not a short term event?

In one of the congregations we were members- the pastor had the same sermon for each wedding she did, and it was very simple message. She encouraged the couple to say two things to each other every day, “I love you” and “I forgive.” It didn’t matter how many times we heard this mes-sage, the pastor got praise from the guests for giv-ing the couple such important and practical advice. As we begin a new year we to can learn from such simple and practical advice. Each day we have the opportunity to say, “I love you” to family and friends, and we also have the opportunity to forgive the wrongs that were done. As we start our New Year let us treasure the things that are the most valued and most mean-ingful to us. Our New Year’s resolution for 2013 can change our lifestyle forever. “Approach this New Year with praise and thanks-giving and find the rich opportunities hidden in each new day.”

Our resolutions can change our lifestyle

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This is the 24th of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell.

Fall has definitely arrived and Mother Nature is providing us with a spectacular colour scheme! Cool nights and warm days, but there is no snow in the air yet. We are stepping up the pace to get everything out of storage. Then we also have to gath-er enough firewood for the winter. My wife has found a lot of dead fall that will be bucked up. Our cen-trally located wood stove will get a good workout this coming winter, keep-

ing the cost of natural gas down to a minimum. The broiler chicks have shed their yellow baby feathers and are now com-pletely white! They are growing fast and gaining weight. We have opened the flap to the yard, and they are taking tentative steps outside to do some exploring. Of course our dog Lady takes a delight in scaring them back into the coop, by rushing the fence. She’s very proud of her ability to scare the feathers off the chickens, and there is no way we can stop her. After rushing the chick-ens she prances away with her tail wagging and her head held high. We have

tried everything from yell-ing and growling at her, to grab her by the throat and put her on her back while growling at her, but to no avail. I suppose the bird dog in her can’t help it! She’s a mix between a Black Labrador and a Miniature Collie, so she can’t make up her mind if she should chase birds or herd horses, therefore she is practising both! However, she has more luck scaring the chickens than herding the horses. The horses ignore her for the most part, but when she gets to be too annoy-ing, one of the horses, and they take turns doing this, will lay the ears back and chase Lady out of the cor-

ral. Bob was training for a marathon and was run-ning down a country road. He got startled when a horse yelled at him: “Hey, come over here buddy!” Bob was flabbergasted, a talking horse? But he ran over to the fence where the horse was standing. Bob looked the horse square in the eyes and asked: “Were you talking to me?” “Sure was,” replied the horse and continued: “See, I’ve got this here problem! I won the Kentucky Derby a few years back, and this farmer later bought me at an auction. Now all I do is pull a plough, and I’m sick of it! Why don’t you run up to the house and offer the farmer $1,000.00 to buy me! I can still run fast, and I can make you some money!” Bob thought to himself: “Wow! A talking horse and a fast runner to boot! I could make a lot of money indeed!” He ran to the house and found the old farmer sitting on the porch in his rocking chair smok-ing a corn pipe. “Excuse

me Sir!” said Bob, “but I’ll give you $1,000.00 for that broken down old nag you’ve got in the field by the road!” The farmer looked at Bob, took out his corn pipe and said: “Son, you can’t believe anything that horse says. He was born on this farm and has certainly never been to Kentucky!” An old cowboy’s rule of life: • Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight and bull strong • Don’t name a pig you plan to eat • Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce • Keep skunks, lawyers and bankers at a distance • Words that soaks into your ear are whispered not yelled • A bumblebee is faster than a John Deere tractor • Meanness don’t hap-pen overnight • Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads • Don’t corner some-thing meaner than you

• Don’t squat with your spurs on • Don’t sell your mule to buy a plough • Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance • The best sermons are lived, not preached • Every path has some puddles • If you find yourself in a hole – the first thing to do is stop digging • Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got • Only cows know why they stampede • Always drink upstream from the herd • Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easi-er than putting it back in • If you’re thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around • The biggest trouble-maker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning • Never miss a good chance to shut up.

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in

Park plans for 2013 unfold Saskatchewan Provincial Parks had a great 2012 and as the popularity of parks continues to grow, planning for a success-ful 2013 season is underway. “It has been a great year for Saskatchewan Provincial Parks, setting a new visitation record and introducing the new online reservation system,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty says. “As we plan for our 2013 season, we continue to look for ways to enhance programs and services to ensure parks are accessible to as many visitors as possible.” The 2013 season will begin with the seasonal camping application process opening online at www.saskparks.net on Monday, January 7. Seasonal camping offers the opportunity to secure a camp-site for the entire park season from May until September. The online reservation system saw more than 60,000 reservations made dur-ing the 2012 season. Parks has already been receiving inquires for the 2013 sea-son. Since demand for seasonal sites exceeds supply, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport allocates sites using a lottery system for the 21 provincial parks that offer the program. Campers complete a park specific application form and submit it. The deadline for applications is

Thursday, January 31. The draw to award sites will be held Monday, February 4. There will be some changes to the sites offered so campers must check the listing for their park of choice on the parks web-site. For people who prefer, a paper applica-tion will still be available by contacting 1-800-205-7070, or parksinfo@gov.sk.ca. The campsite reservation system for overnight camping will start as a stag-gered launch during the week of March 4 to 8. Parks will be sharing more details about this program as it gets closer to the dates. Campers will now be able to plan fur-ther ahead when booking group camp-sites. Reservations can be made up to two years in advance by contacting the indi-vidual park. This will be great for those who are planning family reunions, group vacations and special events. During 2013, three provincial parks will be celebrating milestone anniversa-ries. Saskatchewan Landing and Douglas Provincial Parks located on Lake Diefenbaker will be celebrating their 40th year. Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, located 20 minutes northeast of Moose Jaw, will be turning 50. There will be more information and dates for special events and celebration announcements coming in the New Year.

THE NEWS REVIEW

It’s a new year and Sask. is ready

I think we need to send a very clear message that terrorism in any form is not acceptable in Canada and if it takes a life sen-tence to get the point across then so be it. In 2008 a former Ottawa software developer, Momin Khawaja, was found guilty of committing a terrorist act. He was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison but two years later an Ontario Court of Appeal increased the sentence to life, with no chance of parole eligibility for ten years. More recently, the Supreme Court announced it is upholding the sen-tence and Khawaja’s fate has been sealed. The landmark ruling means that the Islamic ter-rorist will spend his life behind bars for aiding a violent jihadist group based in England. It appar-ently also paves the way for the extradition of two other Ontario men wanted in the U.S for helping acquire arms to be used by Sri Lankan terrorists. Khawaja was sentenced in connection with a British plot to commit jihadist violence abroad. He maintains that his sentence is too harsh and that it doesn’t take into account his lack of awareness of violent acts the British plotters intended to carry out. His lack of awareness? Maybe he should be keeping

better company and he wouldn’t find himself in this position in the first place. Seriously, he could, and likely IS saying any-thing he can at this point to keep himself out of pris-on. Too bad so sad. As to be expected there are those coming out of the woodwork who say this is nothing more than stereo-typing and pinning the

blame on someone strictly because of their ethnicity, I say the proof is in the pudding and if you’re found guilty, regardless of your race, color, nationality or religious beliefs, you need to pay the price. The Chief Justice referred to Khawaja as “an apparently remorseless man” who deserved a very tough sentence in order to deter both he and other potential terrorists. The appellant was a willing par-ticipant in a terrorist group... He was committed to bringing death on all those opposed to his extremist ideology and took many steps to provide support to the group.” We don’t need another Twin Towers episode on our hands and Canada has had enough accusations about being too lax when it comes to situations like this. It’s time to take a firm stand and to state loudly and clearly we’re not a haven for people like this.

The way I see it...

The most famous line in the 1989 film Field of Dreams is “If you build it, they will come.” In the con-text of the film, it refers to building a baseball dia-mond in a corn field to attract ghost baseball players. Out of context, it is the likely inspiration behind a proposed megamall being planned for Dundurn. That’s the only possible inspiration for the project, which would be the largest mall in North America, and among the top ten largest malls in the world. This would be an ambitious project in any city, but Dundurn is not a city, it’s a town of about 700. It stands to reason that the mall is not expecting support from just residents of Dundurn, and that’s not really its purpose anyway. It’s a wholesale mar-ketplace, and the idea is that it will mostly be a place where large companies can broker deals for wholesale products. Many of the stores will have direct links to factories in China, and the hope is that retailers will fly in from all over North America to go to Dundurn, and make large product deals with the various retail-ers. The selling points are that Dundurn is closer than China, which is accurate, but the entire project is still kind of confusing. The problem is that we’re talking about a project that is going to be built essentially in the middle of nowhere. It’s close to Saskatoon, but it’s still not actu-

ally in the city, and it’s essentially inconvenient for every major retailer who might want to make a deal. There are similar malls in Shanghai, for instance, but that’s a major metropolis with millions of people, and most of the major retailers have some form of office there. Dundurn isn’t anyone’s corporate headquar-ters. Proponents of the project point out that it’s all air traffic anyway, which might be true, but you’re still not in a town with an airport, close as it might be to Saskatoon. The project is supposed to bring in 1,000 jobs, which is great, but there aren’t even 1,000 people in the town. It’s going to double their population, and

dwarf the actual town as it sits now. Dundurn might be a fine little community, but it’s difficult to prepare for a project so massive in size that it’s going to dwarf what’s currently there. Which is not to say that I don’t think Saskatchewan has room for massive retail projects, just that they have to actually consider where they’re building. Saskatoon or Regina could probably pull off having something similar, given that they have all the infra-structure in place and could support things like new corporate offices which would be necessary to keep this enterprise viable. Yes, Dundurn is near Saskatoon, but you’ve got to consider travel time to a small com-munity which would have nothing else of interest to big business, apart from this giant mall. It will be interesting to see if anything actually comes of the massive yet ill-considered project. It is highly improbable that it will work, but it might not actually be impossible, depending on how much retail-ers want to travel to Dundurn to set up massive retail deals. It is still a risky move to rely solely on business that does not have any presence in the small commu-nity, and I believe that the site might have been cho-sen due to lack of expense, rather than actual suit-ability. If nothing else, maybe some baseball-playing ghosts will set up shop.

The foundation has been laid and if the coming year unfolds as well as 2012 Saskatchewan is in for another great twelve months. According to the province’s Economy Minister the year 2012 will go down in the history books with record levels of population, employ-ment and investment reached. “Saskatchewan’s economy was the envy of nearly every Canadian prov-ince in 2012 with more jobs, more people to fill those jobs and record levels of new investment coming into the province,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd says. “This government’s growth agenda will capitalize on our strengths – our people, our resources and our innovation and ensure that Saskatchewan contin-ues to be an economic leader in Canada through 2013 and beyond.” Saskatchewan’s population reached an all-time record of 1,086,564 after the third quarter of 2012. Saskatchewan is ranked in the top two provinces in a number of areas including: investments; inter-national exports; manufacturing shipments; retail sales; employment growth and average weekly earn-ings. In fact, according to an average of seven major forecasters, Saskatchewan is expected to have the second best economy in 2013 with a growth rate of 2.9 per cent. “Although some of the final data for 2012 has yet to come in, 2013 looks to be very promising for the Saskatchewan economy with solid growth expected,” Boyd adds. “Supported by strong agriculture and resource sectors, our economy is on a steady course to boost exports, which in turn creates jobs and a multitude of business and invest-ment opportunities.” Bring on the new year!

To the Editor:

As Canada’s population ages a growing number of frail seniors will require long-term care ser-vices to help them perform daily activities such as eating, dress-ing or bathing. Ensuring that ad-equate care is accessible to every Canadian who needs it should be a national priority. But who should foot the bill? The cost of long-term care ser-vices can be very high: 24/7 as-sistance in an institution costs around $60,000 per person per year. At present, the fi nancing of long-term care in Canada is a patchwork. Access to long-term care and its cost to individuals vary depending on the region where they live and whether they are still at home or in a resi-dential facility. In a study published earlier this year by the Institute for Research in Public Policy, we re-viewed the theory and practice on long-term care funding to de-termine what method would best suit Canada. We found that relying on pri-vate savings is not an effi cient way for Canadians to provide for their potential future care needs, since individuals are like-ly to save too much or too little. The risk of becoming dependent on formal care for an extended period of time is concentrated among a relatively small seg-ment of the population for whom the risk can reach catastrophic levels in fi nancial terms. For example, at age 65, only 20 per cent of individuals will require care for more than fi ve years in their remaining years. On average, individuals would need to save the equivalent of

$7,500 per year over a 40-year period, a total of $300,000, to ad-equately prepare for their poten-tial long-term care funding needs (married couples could halve this amount). So the private savings option is not only not feasible for most, it would also be a waste of resources, because 80 per cent of the population will end up not needing so much savings. In fact, in no country in the world are private savings the only source of funding for long-term care, not even in the U.S. or Singapore, two countries noted for their preference for individu-al savings and market competi-tion in health care. Our research found that the best way to guarantee that ad-equate long-term care and as-sistance will be available to ev-ery Canadian who needs it at a reasonable cost to society is through comprehensive, public, universal, compulsory and stan-dardized insurance coverage. In other words, a public long-term care insurance plan, along the lines of what medicare already does for medical care in Canada, is the most desirable option. Public long-term care insur-ance is the best option for two reasons. First, insurance is es-sential because private savings is not an effi cient way for indi-viduals to provide for their po-tential future care needs, as we have already stated. It makes good sense to have the lucky ones (those who can live inde-pendently) transfer resources to those needing care. Second, insurance must be pub-lic, and not a mixture of public and private, or private. Private and public insurance cannot be combined because if there was a

public means-tested program there would be no incentive for individuals to purchase private insurance. Hence a private-pub-lic mix would fail to produce uni-versal coverage. Private insurance alone will not result in universal cover-age either. Data from the OECD indicate that private long-term care insurance is not widespread in wealthy countries. Less than one per cent of Canadians and less than 10 per cent of Ameri-cans have long-term care insur-ance contracts. There are many possible reasons for this: per-haps people do not think they will require long-term care 20 or 30 years in advance of the need, and perhaps the premiums charged for long-term care cov-erage are too high because com-panies need to balance systemic risk (the signifi cant time lapse between premiums collected and payouts). So the best option is a public insurance scheme with a single payer that provides benefi ts based on a standardized evalu-ation of care needs. This would ensure that all Canadians have better care and that access to long-term care services is more equitable. With a universal pub-lic insurance plan transaction costs and loading fees would be lower, so it would also be less ex-pensive than private insurance. Overall, a universal public in-surance plan would be far better than the fragmentary systems we have at present, which poorly serve those Canadians who need them most, often at the greatest cost.

To the Editor:

When is legislation “successful”? MP Randy Hoback’s article “Mes-sage received on Parliament Hill” declared that the Canadian Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) “is the only regime of its kind world-wide to have been used to success-fully export lower-cost generic drugs to a developing country.” Does exporting to one country count as successful? Does export-ing one drug count? Does splitting the one drug into two shipments count?

CAMR is critically ill. Voted in unanimously in 2004, it was her-alded as keeping Canada’s hu-manitarian promise to the inter-national community. Hoback’s article states CAMR reform would not “result in greater exports” because we are not a low cost ge-neric producer. His article also mentions Apotex, the billion dol-lar Canadian generic drug com-pany. It obtained the one CAMR license issued and would eagerly export more if, and only if, CAMR were streamlined (see the Apotex press release http://tinyurl.com/bsukqe2). How many more exports would it take for “greater exports”? Even counting the two separate ship-ments of one drug to Rwanda as two exports, Apotex could easily double our appalling record. The efforts to reform CAMR now outnumber the shipments by one. In Canada, we can count the hours lost in CAMR reform but how do we count the lives lost in develop-ing countries; lives of children, sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers? How did your MP vote (http://tinyurl.com/cfl qk7u)? Every life lost or health compro-mised for lack of access to afford-able generic drugs needs to be imported into the conscience of every MP who killed Bill C-398.

CAMR concept is critically ill

The real costs of long-term care

To the Editor:

A growing number of Canadians are questioning the legitimacy of Stephen Harper’s so-called “major-ity” government. Yes, in the 2011 election, Con-servatives took more than half the seats in the House of Com-mons. But they do NOT represent a majority of Canadians. Not even close. Conservatives got just 40 per cent of the votes of the meager 60 per cent who went to the polls. So do the math. Mr. Harper’s mandate came from just 24 per cent of eligible voters. Worse still, even that modest support is now tainted by on-going revelations of deceit and incompetence on cru-cial, big fi les like the F-35 procure-ment fi asco. First there was the detailed anal-ysis provided by the Parliamentary Budget Offi cer (PBO) last spring. That was followed by damning criticisms from the Auditor-Gener-al. And last week, we received a

private sector audit by the nation-al accounting fi rm of KPMG. All of them exposed massive gov-ernment bungling on the F-35s, beginning in 2006 (precisely when Stephen Harper fi rst took power). But even more serious is the cover-up. The government deliberately low-balled the costs, and then kept two sets of fi gures to try to hide the truth. The whole process was ir-refutably corrupted. Add to that the Conservatives’ abuse of omnibus Bills and “clo-sure” proceedings to cut off debate and stifl e scrutiny of their behav-ior. Add their manipulation of Parliamentary Committees to force them to do the public’s business in secret. Add their interference with Access-to-Information laws. Add the Conservatives’ systemat-ic character assassination against charities and non-governmental organizations, public servants and public interest “watchdogs” to discredit them and shut them up – from the nuclear safety com-

mission to Elections Canada, from church groups to scientists and statisticians. Add the Conservatives’ orgy of wasteful, self-indulgent mis-spending on government advertis-ing, a bloated Cabinet, external crony-consultants, ornamental ga-zebos and sidewalks-to-nowhere in Muskoka, and 30 totally unneces-sary extra MPs. Add the Conservative Party’s conviction on charges of election fi -nancing fraud, serious complaints about voting irregularities in Eto-bicoke Centre, Peterborough and Labrador, and the massive on-going investigation of thousands of illegal telephone calls designed to confuse and suppress voters in 2011. The government’s legitimacy is called into question when there are so many reasons to doubt their integrity.

Ralph Goodale, MP,Wascana, SK.

Questions growing about regime legitimacy

To the Editor:

The killing of innocent children and adults al-ways make us angry. Rightly so. Who in his or her right mind could do such a horrible deed? Most agree that a per-son mentally deranged would kill their own parent and other inno-cent children. The state of Connecticut has the country’s fi fth tough-est gun laws, includ-ing an assault weapons ban. Whenever a mass murder takes place

anywhere in the world, the fi rst thing we hear from the media is that we need to outlaw more fi rearms. Our laws in Canada differ than those in the USA. In Canada we have no property rights so the government of the day can by law con-fi scate anything that we own. Fortunately 99.9 per cent of the gun owners in Canada are law abid-ing citizens. We are not criminals, not insane, and don’t go around shooting innocent by-

standers. We don’t need to apologize to anyone because we own a fi re-arm. But the media tends to lump all lawful and peaceful fi rearm owners into the same pot. Somehow owning a gun makes one a po-tential criminal in this country. We need to register the criminals and the insane, and not lawful fi rearm own-ers. Some people enjoy fi shing, others enjoy recreational shooting. Taking the guns away from the law abiding citizens is like trying

to stop highway deaths through confi scating all vehicles that produce more than 100 horse-power. How many of us would tolerate such a law? The real solution is through better men-tal health, compulsory fi rearm safety train-ing and education, and not fi nger pointing and blaming the lawful fi re-arm owners.

Inky Mark, former Member of Parlia-

ment, Dauphin, MB.

Lawful fi rearm owners always get the blame

“In Canada, we can count the hours lost in CAMR reform but how do we count the lives lost in developing countries;

lives of children, sisters, brothers, mothers,

and fathers?”

SUDOKU RULES The objective is to fi ll a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puz-zle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. Completed puzzles are always a type of Latin square with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single digit may not appear twice in the same 9x9 playing board row or col-umn or in any of the nine 3x3 subregions of the 9x9 playing board. This week’s puzzle is easy. See the solution on Page 7.

As Canadians work at improving their own lives, they also strive to help the less fortunate. According to a recent report by BMO Harris Private Banking, chari-table giving is on the rise in Canada. Almost 79 per cent of Canadians made a charitable donation in 2012, up from 68 per cent in 2011, and the average amount they gave has increased from $487 in 2011 to $557 this year. Interestingly, the average amounts of annual giving tend to increase with age. According to a Statistics Canada 2010 report, people aged 75 and older made average annual donations of $725, compared with $431 for those in the 35 to 44 range and $143 for those from 15 to 24. The BMO report also found that 45 per cent of Canadians donate on an ad hoc basis rather than having a specific strategy for giving. These donors should consider planned phi-lanthropy as it can ben-efit both themselves and the charities. One example is the gifting of publicly listed securities, such as stock, bonds, and mutu-al funds to registered charities. A donor who sells the shares of appreciated securities, and then donates the cash, is taxed on capi-tal gains. However, if

that person donates those shares directly, the charity issues a tax receipt based on the fair market value of the securities. The donor gets full value for a tax credit without the imposition of capital gains taxes. Efficient philanthro-py can also be accom-plished with RSPs where the donor names a charity as beneficiary of their registered plan. On death, the balance of the registered plan transfers directly to the charity and the estate receives a tax credit for the value on disposi-tion. This can offset the tax on final income and effectively bypass probate fees. Flexibility is another advantage. The donor controls the RSP and, should cir-cumstances necessitate a change, a new benefi-ciary can be designat-ed. Insurance provides other options. In one, the donor purchases an annuity and a life insurance policy. The income stream from the annuity payments is used to fund the pre-miums on the life insur-ance, where the charity is the named beneficia-ry. The donor benefits because the charity issues tax receipts for the premiums. At death, the charity ben-efits because it receives the proceeds from the life insurance policy tax-free.

Charitable Giving or Donor Advised Funds are popular. These funds set up an endow-ment wherein the donor makes an irrevocable contribution of cash and other assets that are invested to maxi-mize the worth of the donation and increase its value. Investors can set grant recommenda-tions and choose which registered charities receive donations. In return they are provid-ed with an immediate tax benefit that can be carried forward up to five years, and a phil-anthropic legacy con-tinuing into the future. Philanthropy inte-grated with financial planning makes good sense but there are many options, so deci-sions should be made in concert with the spe-cifics of your particular situation. Be sure to seek advice from a qualified tax profes-sional when determin-ing charitable giving strategies.

Fares to rise

Saskatchewan Trans-portation Company (STC) passenger fares will increase by an av-erage of 4.56 per cent beginning January 3, 2013. The average fare in-crease per ticket is $1.45 based on an average one-way trip of 188 ki-lometres (or 117 miles). The increase is intended to generate additional revenue for the company while still keeping fares reasonable for custom-ers. “The increase refl ects the need for STC to recoup some of its in-creased costs and at the same time, deliver on the company’s mandate to serve Saskatchewan,” STC CEO Shawn Grice said. “STC fares are af-fordable and comparable to average rates in west-ern Canada and we be-lieve that people who try our service once are very likely to become repeat riders due to the enjoy-ment of our travel expe-rience.” STC will also be mak-ing a notable change to one of its discount pro-grams. STC will merge its two senior discount programs. Under the new program, all se-niors aged 60 and older will receive a 25 per cent discount off of regular fares. The last STC pas-senger rate increase oc-curred April 1, 2012.

Submitted by Carol Ol-sen It has been a lovely time for holiday celebra-tions, and now we look forward to a New Year. We had a lovely Christ-mas dinner at the club-house early in December. Turkey and all the trim-mings with two beautiful and delicious trifl es for dessert were enjoyed by the crowd of people there. Many residents brought gifts of food and money that evening which was given to the Salvation Army. That’s the spirit of Christmas! Lorna Kor-chinski donated two bas-kets of Beauty Control products for door prizes which were won by Ava and Gilda. Ivar Olsen and Shawn Steiner groomed the cross-country ski trails on the golf course. If you are unable to reach the trail from your home, you can go to the gate at the Villa recreation centre to access it. It is a two mile course that will get your ticker pumping! You may see moose, deer or porcu-pines on your way. Hope that the trail gets a lot of use this winter. A spe-cial thanks to Ed Achte-michuk for salvaging the groomer after the fi re at the skating rink shed a

couple of years ago. He fi xed and repainted and it is as good as new! The skating rink has been ready for a couple of weeks, thanks to Bill Cripps, Tyler Sherwood and Tor Peters and all the cold weather! The Community Assoc. is planning a soup and sandwich noon get-togeth-er on Thursday, January 24 at the Good Spirit Pro-vincial Park Recreation Hall. Please sign up at the Good Spirit Market to indicate whether you will bring soup or sandwiches. Hope to see you all there! On Sunday, March 17 a St. Patrick’s Day Irish stew fund-raiser is planned. The meal will be $10 per person and there will be a sign-up sheet at the Good Spirit Market to know the number of peo-ple expected for the sup-

per. There will be a phone fan made after the New Year to remind residents, and also give any new information about these coming events. The Yorkton Sno-Rid-ers have all trails signed and groomed from York-ton to Good Spirit Lake. From Good Spirit north to Moose Lodge warm-up shelter is signed and most of it is groomed ex-cept for parts of the trail where they can’t take the groomer because of bea-ver dams. Ice is unsafe for the groomer to cross but is fi ne for Snowmo-biles. Both “J” (White-sand Reservoir trail) and “H” trails are also all signed and groomed to Drobot warm-up shelter. They will be grooming all high traffi c trails on a weekly basis. The new John Deere, “ Soucy” tracked trail groomer does a great job with Terry Konkel at the wheel. Ralph Moore has been operating the BR275 and grooming the trails around and north out of Yorkton for many years. It should be a great snow-mobile season. Remember “Don’t Drink and Ride”. The fi ne is the

same as if you are caught drinking and driving your car or truck. The 36th Annual Eas-ter Seals™ Snowarama will be held on February 9, 2013. Riders will have a lunch at Good Spirit Acres at the clubhouse.Sign Up Online www.snowarama.ca or call 1-306-782-2463 or toll-free in Saskatchewan at 1-866-301-0031. Fern tells me that they have been busy serving lunches at Good Spirit Market over the holidays, and they will continue to have lunches over the weekends during the snow mobile season. “A gloomy spirit rots the bones; but a merry heart is like good medi-cine.” – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

DAYLAN GATZKE drops the gloves with Melville’s Tyler Bird in the first period of Sunday’s 5-4 win over the Mils at the FAA. ChaseNorrish scored a hat trick, including the game tying and game winning goals in the overtime thriller.

Terriers split New Years series with Mils By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

New Years means one thing in the SJHL’s Sherwood Division and that is Highway 10 action as the Terriers met up with the Mils for their annual New Years two game set in what was the last two meetings in the Mils and Terriers six game series as Sherwood Division rivals. Sunday night saw the Terriers host at the FAA in what was the fi rst game back after a two week layoff for the Christmas season. Both teams showed signs of rust in the opening frame as the two teams felt each other out and turnovers were a plenty as the two sides looked to get back up to game speed. Melville ended up scoring the lone goal of the fi rst period as Brennan Ritchie got his fi fth goal of the season and his fi rst for the Mils after being traded from the La Ronge Ice Wolves. Daylan Gatzke’s fi ght with Tyler Bird after Ritchie’s goal rounded out the fi rst period highlight’s. Chase Norrish tied it up on the pow-erplay for the Terriers early in the second before Allan Kilback gave Mel-ville the lead right back on a generous bounce off the boards right to his stick gave Kale Thomson no chance on the shot to make it 2-1. Patrick Martens pushed in a goal in a scramble at the net to tie things at two but Kilback scored another shortly after to keep the scoring rush going and give the Mils the lead right back before an Aus-tin Bourhis powerplay goal from the slot beat Alex Wakaluk and sent the game into the third period tied 3-3. After a wild second period the Ter-riers started to dictate play and press on the Mils, but Wakaluk was show-ing why he is one of the SJHL’s best goalies in keeping the outplayed Mil-lionaires in the game. Melville took advantage as Daniel Orsborn gave the Millionaires the lead with fourteen minutes left. Chase Norrish played the hero on the night, making up for his brother Brady’s roughing penalty with a shorthanded rush down the ice for the game tying goal. The Terriers kept on looking for the winner in the fi nal fi ve minutes, but Wakaluk shut the door in a period where the Terri-ers outshot Melville 17-5 and sent the game into overtime. Another Terriers-Millionaires over-time session provided high drama as Martens was given a four minute high sticking penalty eight seconds into the

period, giving the Mils a four minute powerplay and a chance to steal the win away from the Terriers. However, it was not to be as Norrish continued to be the hero with another solo rush for his third goal of the night and the win-ner in what was a classic New Years game and a 5-4 win for the Terriers. Kale Thomson got the win in goal for the Terriers, making 19 saves and continuing his winning streak from December. Head coach Trent Cassan was im-pressed with Norrish’s effort with the hat trick saying, “He is one of those players who is around fi ve foot ten but plays like he is six foot two, and you could really see all he brings to the table tonight with some sound defen-sive plays and the burst of speed in the three huge goals he scored for us.” Cassan also gave praise to the Mils’ Wakaluk and his goaltending in the game saying, “He is one of the league’s best goalies and tonight was an exam-ple of that as he made some big saves on us and kept his team in the game and we eventually pulled through.” Both teams met up again Tuesday afternoon to ring in 2013 at Melville’s Horizon Credit Union Centre. Dawson MacAuley got the start in goal for the Terriers and was looking to improve

on his impressive 7-2 record whileWakaluk was given the start in goalagain for the Millionaires. A repeat of Sunday night was in or-der as the Millionaires opened up thescoring with a Christian Magnus goalwith just thirty seconds left in the fi rstperiod to give the Millionaires seriousmomentum heading into the intermis-sion despite being outshot 14-7 by theTerriers. Eric Meyer extended the lead to 2-0for the Millionaires before JeremyJohnson and Kailum Gervais scoredtwo unanswered goals to send thingsinto the third period tied up yet again.Zak Majkowski got an assist on theJohnson goal in his second game backfrom injury and Swift Current Broncosprospect Dakota Odgers got his fi rstassist of the year in his fi rst appear-ance for the Terriers after an impres-sive November and December with theHarvest. Melville showed no interest in play-ing overtime on Tuesday as they cameout fl ying in the third period, givingthe Terriers more than they couldhandle in what was a hectic fi nal pe-riod.

WIN!WIN!

Going into the World Juniors there was very little doubt in the minds of most that Canada was going to come into the tournament and clean house. We have all the NHLers, Mal-com Subban would be the difference in goal, and we would get that whole pesky losing in the very end thing off our backs and win with some laughs in Russia’s very cold backyard. Well a shaky pre tour-nament and some (gasp) goals allowed against Slovakia and Germany gave the Canadians a scare heading into cru-cial weekend tilts with the Americans and Rus-sians, but the Canadi-ans stepped up when the games got big and a 2-1 win over the United States (extremely early) Sunday morning and an impressive 4-1 victory of Russia have the Cana-dians riding high going into the medal rounds. In a three week tour-nament momentum is everything, one sixty minute game sets the narrative for an entire year, but the Canadi-ans going into their semifi nal meeting with the United States ex-tremely early Thursday

morning look like they are the favorites. The Russians have stum-bled, losing to the Ca-nadians and needing a shootout to get past the Swiss, Sweden won their group, but that group didn’t have the level of depth that the group Canada was in. It seems that ev-erything is coming up roses for the Canadi-an contingent in this tournament. Four lines of for-ward depth and a blue line of Canada’s should be a favorite in any game, the NHL lockout has probably benefi ted the Canadians the most in this tournament, the Russians did get Nail Yakupov back and have a sparkling cast of goal scoring forwards, but only during the fi rst lockout did we see such a balanced group of NHL ready talent put on the Maple Leaf for Canada. A rematch between the United States will likely be the trap game for the Canadians, with the inevitable risk of looking ahead to the fi nal and chasing the guarantee of the gold medal, the Canadians will still have to beat

a United States squad that pushed Malcolm Subban to his limit in goal in the third period of their 2-1 loss to the Canadians during the round robin. Seth Jones gives the Americans a draft eligible star of their own to match Canada’s Jonathan Drouin and their for-ward play would match any other non-lockout year’s top lines, the US will be ready and see Canada as their closest rivals which is going to make for a challenge in itself. But the Canadians just seem like the fa-vorites on depth alone, usually the Canadians seem like the favorites on hype alone as TSN will always focus on

making Canadians be-lieve that Canada is a lock for the fi nal in its annual quest to domi-nate the ratings during the holiday season, but this Canadian squad is the real deal. Ryan Nugent-Hop-kins himself is a game changer that has yet to be contained, but then when you add the ex-ploits of Schiefele, Ryan Strome, Drouin, and Jonathan Huberdeau and you have goal scor-ing abilities that are un-touched. Nathan MacK-innon has yet to explode into the tournament yet, and seems due even on Canada’s fourth line to make his presence felt on this tournament as one of the 2013 NHL Draft’s top prospects.

Two straight years of heartbreak have made Canadians hungry for this gold medal, a medal that once was expected is now fever-ishly desired, it has Canadians waking up at ungodly hours, the semifi nal will be played at 3:30 am Saskatch-ewan time, to cheer on their country. A tour-nament that once was often considered to be a trophy that only the Canadians and Rus-sians cared about is now a tournament that has the attention of al-most every country in the knockout stages, and even though an American win in the semifi nals probably won’t make the sports pages down South, you can be sure that the Americans know how important that game is no matter where the headline sits. All the story building aside, the next few days will once again set the script of an entire year for Canada Hockey, two wins and Canada is back ontop of the hock-ey world, a sixty minute upset by the Americans, Swedes or Russians, and we are back to ask-ing what went wrong

and pointing fi ngers for another year. The thing that makes this tourna-ment so great, is why making predictions is so hard to do, anything can happen and there is no rematch in the medal rounds. Sometimes be-ing good or even great is not good enough, it has been seen before. In a weekly column I am often hesitant to make predictions that will stick for an entire week if I am wrong, but going into crucial semi-fi nal and championship games, I feel that this is the year for Canada. A golden crop of future NHL stars, a hot goal-tender who thrives in the spotlight in Malcom Subban, and just a little magic will propel the Canadians to the gold medal and bring smiles to many extremely tired eyes watching from home. A golden December in Russia, it just sounds so sweet for the Canadians. Cana-da over the USA then Canada over Russia in the fi nal in two classic World Junior meetings is my prediction and I am sticking with it. Go Canada Go. Now to set my alarm - 3:30 is aw-fully early.

Harvest look to make playoff push in returnBy CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

Christmas is over for the Yorkton Harvest officially on January 5 as they host the Tisdale Trojans at the FAA, but you can say it came early as a big victory over the Notre Dame Argos before the break saw the Harvest grab eighth place in the SMAAAHL and playoff positioning heading into the final two month stretch. Now 17 games will determine the fate of the 2012/13 edition of the Yorkton Harvest as they look to continue to erase the memories of their terrible September and October with a spot in the playoffs. They will have players who are ready to continue their strong play after SJHL appearances as Dakota Odgers and Jaden Kreklewich were rewarded for their strong December per-formances with stints with the Terriers and Millionaires respective-ly. The race for the final two playoff spots looks like it will be a three

horsed one as the Argos, Saskatoon Blazers, and Harvest are all sepa-rated by just two points in the 7-9 slots in the SMAAAHL standings. Swift Current is a long shot candidate at five points back, but the three teams lodged in the race will definitely be keeping an eye on each others scores heading into the stretch with each game from here on out having major consequences come the end of the season. The Harvest will begin with tough tests in Tisdale and Moose Jaw at home this week-end as the sixth and fifth placed Trojans and Generals are chasing the Saskatoon Contacts and Regina Pat Canadians for home ice advantage in the open-ing round of the play-offs and will be looking to extend their eight point cushion over the Harvest at the same time. Tisdale beat the Harvest 5-2 in their last meeting in November while the Generals and Harvest split points in Moose

Jaw in December with a tie and a Harvest win in their last matchups. After the Harvest play host they will head to Saskatoon the fol-lowing weekend to play the Contacts and Blazers in another very crucial weekend in their playoff push. The Contacts are one of the league’s top teams while the aforemen-tioned Blazers are sit-ting in ninth and will be looking to use their three games at hand to their advantage and begin to make a push back into the final playoff spot with a win over the Harvest.

The next two weeks will be huge for a Harvest squad who were clicking on all cyl-inders heading into the break, wins on the weekend over teams entrenched in into the playoffs with seventeen games left can give the Harvest some room to breathe, while losses can set off the panic button. Playoff atmo-sphere will be in the FAA all January and February, and you have to love it. Seventeen games will decide if the Harvest season is one of failure, or one of per-severance leading to success.

Lucas Froese gave the Millionaires the lead before Daniel Orsborn scored his sec-ond of the series to give the Terriers a two goal deficit with ten min-utes left at the Horizon Credit Union Centre. The Terriers yet again dominated on shots, but Wakaluk kept shut-ting the door and Nathan Boyer pushed the score to 5-2 before Austin Bourhis gave the Terriers a consola-tion prize of a power-play goal late in the third to wrap things up with a 5-3 scoreline to end the Terriers-Mils rivalry for the rest of the year. The Terriers can take bragging rights on the year as they took four of the six games in the Highway 10 Rivalry and still sit comfortably atop the Mils in the Sherwood with a cush-ion of seven points with eighteen games left in the regular season. Coach Cassan antici-pated Tuesday’s game would be close going into it, “Almost every game has went to over-time or been decided by one goal in this series and I am assuming Tuesday will be no dif-ferent with us heading into Melville’s rink after a hard fought win.” The loss did allow the Notre Dame Hounds to keep pace with the Terriers as they still sit four points back of the Terriers first place posi-tion in that race for the home ice advantage come playoff time in March. The Hounds will host the Terriers January 8 in what will be a huge game for both teams. The SJHL schedule makers were not kind to the Terriers in their rafting of the early January match ups as the Terriers will be going up against the league’s top teams often to kick off the final stretch of the regular season in their bid to stay atop the SJHL. The aforementioned meeting with Notre Dame will be highlight-ed with another trip to Wilcox January 19, and a final game on February 13 as the Terriers will play their second place rivals four times in the final eigh-teen games of the regu-

lar season in what will be pivotal meetings when it comes to who wins the SJHL’s regu-lar season title. Friday night might see one of the most interesting meetings of the final two months as the Humboldt Broncos and SJHL Goalie of the Month Matt Hrynkiw head to the FAA in a Bauer Division/Sherwood clash. The Broncos have rebound-ed from a mediocre start to the year and are now poised to over-take Flin Flon for first place in the Bauer Division as they sit in second place with 44 points to the Bombers 46 with three games at hand. Solid defense and Hrynkiw’s goaltending have led the Broncos to the league’s best defense with only 72 goals against and a four game winning streak have them flying high as they head in to play the league leading Terriers in what might just be a SJHL Championship preview between the potential best of the Bauer and Sherwood Divisions. “Humboldt is a really solid team, and have similar things to what we have, they have guys from a team that won the title so they are an experienced group that knows not to panic and what it takes to win so it is going to be a huge game for us and a tough match up,” noted Cassan.” Humboldt beat the Terriers 6-2 in their only meeting of

the season with their second game being can-celled due to poor high-way conditions and the Terriers will be looking for revenge at home from that loss. Cassan mentioned that their 6-2 loss in the middle of a losing streak showed the Terriers what they needed to work on and led to their hot late November/December, “After that loss to Humboldt where they really took it to us, we noticed what we needed to do to make that next step, specifically off ice conditioning and that really motivated us to go further and work harder.” Friday’s game will be the last at the FAA for two weeks as the Terriers will pack their bags for a three game road trip to Notre Dame, La Ronge and Nipawin in a Northern swing before coming home to host the Ice Wolves on January 17. Two of the Terriers tough tests to start off the playoff push are in the books, now games against two of the SJHL’s top four teams are on deck with the Terriers having the chance to prove why they are the favorites in the SJHL going into the final games of the regular season. Friday night at the FAA and Tuesday in Wilcox might just be previews to crucial playoff series come March and April when the chase to the Royal Bank Cup begins.

Terriers begin busy month

The winter months offer no shortage of fun-filled seasonal activities. Unfortunately, many Canadians are sidelined from participating in the things they might nor-mally like to do this time of year, such as cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, indoor tennis or even going away on vacation. People with chronic pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, for example, often avoid even simple things such as visiting family and friends over the holi-days. Chronic pain is persistent, often lasting more than three months. When associated with OA of the knee, the pain can be debilitating, com-promising mobility and leaving sufferers feeling susceptible to injuries — and isolated from getting out and doing the things they enjoy.

For the 10 per cent of Canadians the Arthritis Society of Canada says are living with OA, man-aging chronic knee pain can be challenging. What may pose even more dif-ficult is finding a safe and effective way to alle-viate the pain so that they can continue to stay active.

The most common kind of arthritis, OA is a progressive, degenera-tive disease of the joint. In the knee, tissues are unable to repair them-selves, causing cartilage and bone to erode, result-ing in stiffness, swelling and severe pain in the joints. With time, the condition can result in chronic pain, so speaking with a doctor or special-ist is critical to ensure

that a pain management p l a n i s established.“Ongoing pain and stiffness in the knees should not be ignored or accepted as a sign of aging. If someone finds they can barely walk upstairs, let alone participate in the activi-ties they once enjoyed, it is important they speak to their doctor as it could be the result of a serious condition that requires treatment,” says Dr. Philip Baer, rheumatolo-gist. “Developing an individualized treatment plan can help patients better manage their pain so they can get on with their lives.”

Following these tips can help you better man-age OA knee pain – so that you can get back to enjoying the activities you’d like to do this win-ter:Shed the pounds

If you are carrying excess weight, adjusting your diet to include more servings of fruits and vegetables and lower-calorie foods, for exam-ple, can help you slim down.

Losing just 10 lbs can take pressure off knee joints, reduce pain and help improve overall physical function.Get moving

Exercise and physio-therapy can help improve muscle strength and joint stability. Low impact movement, such as prac-ticing yoga and engaging in meditative activities, can also help you cope with pain. Do be mindful of your physical limita-tions and work within them, so as not to over-exert your sensitive

knees.Talk the talk — so you can walk the walk

Speak with your doc-tor to learn about the options available to relieve pain and improve functionality. An open dialogue will help you to better understand your condition— and best treatment option.

There are a number of over-the-counter medica-tions, such as acetamino-phen and ibuprofen, which can help relieve OA knee pain. Prior to taking any medication, always consult with your healthcare provider.

If non-prescription medications are ineffec-tive, your doctor might recommend a new treat-ment option for OA knee pain called a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Some

SNRIs are safe and effec-tive oral medications that can help turn down the volume of the pain and are well-tolerated.

When discussing treat-ment options, be sure to

discuss the pros and cons of each type, including side effects and possible addictive properties.Brace yourself

Wearing a knee sleeve or brace is shown to pro-

vide relief from inflam-mation and joint pain, and can provide some added support during activities.

Enjoying winter activities with less painPage 14A - Thursday, January 3, 2013 - THE NEWS REVIEW

You can reach your health resolution goals if you have your eyes wide open, and arm yourself with some key pieces of knowledge. From Chris Laperle, GoodLife Fitness’personal training regional manager with Alberta GoodLife Fitness, here are some proven tips to help you get there:

• Seek small victories: Break your goal down into small goals you know you can do. If you’re busy, and are booking workouts twice a day, everyday, there’s a greater chance you’ll fail. Instead, check your sched-ule, start small and grow from there.

• Gather support: Tell the club receptionist that you’re proud of yourself for getting to the gym for the second time this week. Share your workout goal and schedule with coworkers so they don’t book conflicting appointments. Hire a personal trainer to increase your chances of success by 80 percent. Tell your friends and group exercise instructor about your resolution, and update them on your progress and challenges.

• Drink more water, eat a little less: If you try to cut out entire food groups or survive on celery and water alone, you will fail. So try eating a little less. When out, eat slowly, savour the flavours, and take half home for

lunch the next day. Your metabolism slows down after seven in the evening, so aim to finish supper before that to burn more calories than you would store as fat. Studies show that drinking 500ml of water 30 minutes before a meal reduces your hunger so you eat less at the meal.
