Every year, a new group of students gets ready to leave high school and get ready for their eventual careers and future. Career Explorations is meant

to show students their options and what they can do when they leave school. Exhibitors from across Western Canada and into North Dakota showcased their oppor-tunities to the over 2,000 students in the Parkland region.

One of the big areas of the annual event is the Try a Trade area, where students can get hands on experience with different trades through various hands-on experiences. Dale Holstein, Coordinator for Post-Secondary and

Industrial at Parkland College, says it is an exciting time for trades and industrial educa-tion in Yorkton, and with new facilities and programs they can bet-ter train students throughout the area.

“There are always lots of job opportunities in the trades. We actu-ally have some stu-dents who are farmers that are taking it so they can go back to the farm and fix their own stuff.”

They are also excited to see more women tak-ing up the trades, Holstein says, with ten per cent of the students being female, which he describes as huge. While emphasizing

there have always been more women than you expect in the programs, he says more women joining the programs is exciting for the college.

“That’s what they want to do, that’s where their goal is.”

Students could try out a Caterpillar grad-er simulator, for exam-ple. Developed to get operators comfortable with a new, steering wheel-free model of grader, the setup was popular among the stu-dents visiting the Flexihall. Holstein says it’s a great way to get students into the area, because it’s a draw to get them talking about industrial and trades education.

“The reason the sim-ulator was designed was to train the old operators, the ones who had driven with a steer-ing wheel in the past... They let them play with that for two or three days to get the hang of it, instead ofcrashing into some-thing and wrecking the new machine.”

Trades a highlight of Career Explorations

The Christmas sea-son is the time for joy and music. Quartette will be in Yorkton to present their spin on the season with a Quartette Christmas on December 3 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series.

The group consists of Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford, Gwen Swick, and Sylvia Tyson, four singer-songwriters. The group has been performing together for over 20 years.

The Christmas tours began in 1996, when the group decided to make a Christmas album. Hanford says it marked a major change for the group.

“It was tough because we had Colleen Peterson with us, who was one of the original founding members of the group, and she got cancer and got sick very quickly. But she was able to record with us on that first Christmas Album, and she just did a beautiful

job in spite of her health deteriorating.”

The tour following that album was also when Swick joined the group, on the recom-mendation of Peterson. Hanford says that the mix of original and classic material reso-nated with audiences, so they decided to con-tinue with the tours and record new mate-rial for further Christmas albums.

“We’ve had this ongoing tradition of Christmas shows since that time, really since 1997... People are still really moved by it, and we’re moved by the fact that they are too.”

What’s fun for audi-ences is fun for the group itself, Hanford says, as they enjoy making Christmas music and arranging classics to fit the group and their range of styles.

“It’s really fun to write Christmas songs because you know the parameters. You’re either going to write about the story of Jesus being born, or you’re going to write about

snow and romance or Santa, so it’s really fun. We also incorporate a bunch of different styles, we have blue-grass, we have swing, we have traditional country... And we really have fun with arrange-ments too.”

The four women of the group are also known for their careers outside of Quartette, something with Hanford believes has helped the group stay vibrant.

“I think because we’ve had our solo careers as a priority, it means we can really enjoy getting together with Quartette. It’s a fun thing, it’s a side project, and I think that’s really allowed for its longevity.”

The group is also cel-ebrating their years together with their most recent album, Rocks and Roses, which is divided between a disc of ten new songs and a bonus disc favor-ite songs from the past 20 years.

“It’s really fun to go through that, and hard to choose.”

The group has not been in Saskatchewan for many years, and Hanford says that they’re excited to return and meet new people and play in new venues.

“That’s really a big part of our experience,

getting to meet new people, and how much we enjoy that.”

The show takes place at the Anne Portnuff Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on December 3. Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council or Welcome Home Gifts.

Hanford promises greatmusic and great har-monies.

“I know we’re goingto have great shows, and I know we’re going to have a great time. I’m just crossing my fingers that we have great driving weather.”

Christmas is in the air with Quartette

QUARTETTE is Gwen Swick, Caitlin Hanford, Cindy Church and Sylvia Tyson. They will be in Yorkton on December 3 as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series.

CT SCAN – The CIBC has made a major contribution to the purchase of a new CT Scan for the region. The bank has donated $6,500 to the campaign, with Cheryl Zankl, Regional Vice-President and Candace Tendler, Banking Centre Leader Branch Manager for CIBC in Yorkton presenting a cheque to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation. Tendler says the bank is proud to be making the donation. “Living and working in the community for all these years, you get to know our clients, family members and those types of things, and everyone has been affected by cancer in one shape or form. You feel like you have a per-sonal connection.” The CT scan campaign has now broke the $500,000 mark, with a final goal of over $600,000.

Every year on National Child Day, grade five students from across Yorkton have the opportunity to learn about the rights of chil-dren. With the Yorkton Child Action Plan, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Yorkton coordinated the day.

The kids moved through different sta-tions at SIGN on Broadway, each focused on a different right. Those rights are the right to a name and

nationality, the right to be brought up in the spirit of peace and uni-versal brotherhood, the right to a free education and full opportunity to play and recreation, the right for protection against all forms of neglect cruelty and exploitation, the right to special care and support for any child who has a disability so they can lead full and indepen-dent lives, the right to affection, love and understanding, the right to learn to be a useful member of society and to develop individual

abilities, the right to enjoy these rights regardless of race, colour, sex, religion, national or social origin, the right to adequate nutrition and medical care and the right to be among the first to receive relief care in times of disaster.

Irma Van de Bon-Nichol with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area says that while they are the group coordinating it, the event is a real com-munity project, with several organizations coming together to help

educate children, includ-ing Yorkton Transitional Homes, the Boys and Girls Club, Family Resource Center, Shelwin House, Sask Abilities Council, Parkland Early Childhood Intervention Program, Sunrise Children’s Therapy Program and Mental Health and Addiction Services. The facility itself is provided by SIGN. She says that organizations also pro-vide information to the children about what they do, which can be helpful in the future.

“If they need any of the supports that are available in the commu-nity too, it lets them know what supports are available... That’s sort of what today is all about, how do we link the peo-ple who can use our ser-vices and let them know what’s available, and that it’s available for anyone who needs it.”

Van de Bon-Nichol says that the reason that the program has been able to go for 26 years has been that par-ents, teachers and stu-dents recognize the value of educating chil-

dren on their rights and the difference it makesin their lives.

“What we hear back is that it’s really a mem-orable day for many of them... The principals come back to us and sayit’s a must, they get such positive feedback from the children when they come back from this. They have a better understanding of what their rights their rights are and how they can take a leadership role in helping to ensure thatevery child actually has their rights met.”

The Saskatchewan Party wants to change the province’s liquor laws. They also happen to want to make it an election issue, saying nothing will be done unless they get a renewed mandate in April. Though they are likely well aware that this is going to anger certain groups those happen to be groups – such as the SGEU – that do not like them anyway. So we have a plan to overhaul how licensing laws work, privatize some stores and introduce new stores to other areas. I can understand why they government wants to privatize these locations.

The 40 stores that are to be sold off are not exactly the crown jewels of the SLGA. Most are in smaller communities – such as Watson or Indian Head – and even the stores in Saskatoon and Regina are far from the go-to place for buying alco-hol in their respective towns. Market Mall, for example, can feel like Saskatoon’s forgotten mall unless you’re looking for hearing aid service, and its proximity to 8th Street means most people are going to go to the much larger nearby location a former roommate once dubbed the “Liquor Church.” There are market opportunities in the mix – I’m sure our neighbours in Melville and Canora could make a store profitable – but looking at the list of stores on the docket, I couldn’t help but think if one was compiling a list of the forty least profitable liquor stores in the province, it probably wouldn’t look very different from the one provided. It also makes me wonder if the stores in healthy markets might need major upgrades or renovations in the near future, though I haven’t been able to do an in depth inspection of the province’s liquor stores so I could be wrong about that.

The list of stores makes one wonder how much of the SGEU’s claims of lost profits will remain true. If there is a liquor store in the province that is los-ing money, it’s on that list somewhere, and none of those locations are going to be among the stores that are providing the government the best bang for their buck. In many cases I’m not sure why a pri-vate company would want to buy – a private com-pany selling alcohol in Lloydminster is just going to go across the border to Alberta – and the majority of locations seem to just be using the changes in regulations as an excuse to get out of markets that the government doesn’t have that much interest in serving.

The plan for new liquor stores is somewhat more curious. The idea is to put stores in “under-served” areas, which means letting people open up in towns that have only recently even allowed liquor sales, like Dalmeny, or expanding locations in Saskatchewan’s cities. Yorkton would be in the lat-ter category, listed as a potential candidate for a

new, privately run location. I’m not sure that Yorkton actually is under-served for alcohol at the moment – the store has varieties that friends else-where say are difficult to find, and I’ve never found it inconveniently busy – but we are among the towns on the list. While the stores being sold might be there to get the government out of the province’s less lucrative markets, the new locations are fre-quently head-scratchers, possibly decided purely by numbers rather than actually examining the com-munity. I doubt that a sleepy town full of Mennonites, like Osler, is going to be highly lucrative for alcohol sales. Even fans of alcohol would probably go to a nearby town like Martinsville in order to escape the watchful eye of their neighbours.

But the government’s stance on staying out of liquor store expansion is well known, they’ve long stated they want to spend infrastructure dollars on things like hospitals and schools – they’re much more interested in feel-good builds rather than building liquor stores.

There are other things in the changed laws that make sense no matter where you want to buy your drinks. Letting everyone have the same rules for hours, pricing and store design would make the government locations more competitive, if requiring extensive upgrades. The giant beer coolers of the current private stores would be more than welcome anywhere they’re established, as they are a huge competitive advantage on a hot summer day, so bring them to government-run locations. Also, by normalizing the way liquor sales are handled, it takes out a lot of the administrative headaches inherent in a multi-tier system. One rule for every-one is simpler, more effective and easier to admin-ister.

We can argue all we want about whether or not the government should be in alcohol sales, and we effectively have all winter to do it in the lead up to the next provincial election. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss whether or not the new rules or move towards private sales is a good move in that time. But, if we’re talking about profits overall, it’s more than likely that this move is an attempt to off-load some of the less profitable stores.

A caution for campaigners

Selling the smaller liquor stores

‘Tis the season, apparently, for another election campaign.

While the provincial election is still months away, the TV ads and campaigning has already started in earnest by the two major parties.

Both the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP may want to exercise some restraint here. Not only have we just come off the longest official federal election campaign since the 1800s, but the actual campaign was even longer. Voters are tired and already it’s starting again and just as the Christmas season is getting under way.

Not only should the parties, particularly the governing party, be wary of voter fatigue, they should be cautious about mes-sage. In the federal election, voters sound-ly rejected the negative campaigning, fear and wedge politics of the Conservatives, yet Premier Brad Wall appears to taking a page out of the Stephen Harper handbook on those plays.

Granted, Saskatchewan bucked the national trend in the federal election, but that doesn’t necessarily mean much when it comes to provincial politics.

The current Sask Party ads start out with the question “Remember what it was like under the NDP?” It is a set up for the tagline, “Let’s never go back there.” Of course, they want people to remember the negatives, but it might remind voters of other things.

Other things such as the fact that since 1934 no party other than the NDP and its forebear the CCF has ever ruled this prov-ince for more than two terms and before 1982 when the Progressive Conservatives won, it was always the Liberals who formed non-NDP/CCF governments.

In fact, the success of the Saskatchewan Party was based on the fact it was founded as a coalition of former Progressive Conservatives and Liberals. They have done well in power by, so far, governing more like liberals than conservatives.

If Wall wants to shift the party, and the province, to the right, which certainly seems to be the case, he might want to con-sider the centrist-socialist history of the province.

Despite the fact the East views Saskatchewan as right-wing because of our penchant for sending Conservatives to Ottawa, internally, Saskatchewan people are not so much conservative as they are populist and sometimes contrarian. Plus there are a lot more progressive voters than may be apparent by federal election results.

A shift to the right could scare those vot-ers away from the Saskatchewan Party. The fact it did not work for Trudeau feder-ally does not necessarily mean it will not work for the NDP provincially. After all, there is a smouldering resentment here toward the new prime minister’s father.

The NDP also needs to be careful not to go too negative. Most people don’t think the Saskatchewan Party has done a bad job. It may have been a bit lacklustre in some ways, but not overly incompetent or corrupt. Whether they deserve a third term, however, is a case the Opposition can probably make without going overboard.

One thing Wall has gotten right is tap-ping into the anti-refugee sentiment, which seems to be particularly prominent in Saskatchewan. Whether that can carry him to victory in an election that is still so far away the refugees may already all be here by then remains to be seen.

Of course, the other possibility is that Wall’s current rightward leaning indicates some personal ambition. If he does not win the Province come spring, he could be a front runner to replace Stephen Harper as leader of the federal Conservatives as long as he doesn’t look too Liberal in the inter-im.

Things I do with words...

Sask takes the biggest step forward on liquor rules since Prohibition.

This column was origin-ally printed in the Regina Leader-Post and Saskatoon StarPhoenix on Nov. 23, 2015

The Saskatchewan govern-ment has proposed the big-gest step forward in liquor regulations since the repeal of Prohibition. It’s a stark shift from a government-knows-best policy to one that truly trusts Saskatchewanians to make their own choices when they pick up a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer. It’s also an elegant solution that offers a smooth tran-sition and protects govern-ment revenues.

To fully appreciate the scope of this change, it’s worth understanding a little bit about the current mess.

Right now, Saskatchewan’s liquor retail system is unfair. There are four types of liquor retailers: 450 off-sales, 190 rural franchises, 75 government liquor stores and four new private liquor stores. There are different and unfair rules for each cat-egory.

Off-sales can stay open late and sell cold beer, but they have to pay retail prices for

their stock and therefore are forced to charge inflated prices. Rural franchises get better pricing structures, but are often forced to sell warm beer and close early. Even government stores endure restrictions on hours and the types of beer they can put in the fridge. The new private stores have the most freedom in the current system, but they’re only operating in a few neighbourhoods.

Under the government’s new liquor policy proposal all of those unfair rules will be gone.

There will be one type of liquor licence for all liquor retailers, including gov-ernment stores. There will be one standard wholesale pricing structure so that all retailers are paying the same prices for their stock. And there will be one set of rules that allow all retailers to stay open late and sell cold beer.

The new liquor system will give every off-sale, rural franchise and government store the opportunity to pro-vide the same level of service, selection and prices that Saskatchewanians are find-ing at the new private stores in Saskatoon and Regina.

Now, there are always nay-

sayers who have no interest in making the playing field level for liquor retailing.

There are those who worry the government won’t make enough money under the proposed system. They can be comforted to know the government has structured its new wholesale mark-up structure to make sure it still gets its share. One of John Gormley’s listeners put it well: “I worry about a lot of things in life: will the Riders ever win? Will my kids be well-adjusted adults? What if the zombie apoca-lypse actually happens? But I never ever worry that gov-ernment will be able raise enough tax on something.”

Then there are those who will resort to dirty tactics to entrench the current unfair-ness. They lament that pri-vate businesses will sell alco-hol to kids and only union-ized government employ-ees can be trusted. If any of these people have any real evidence of any specific liquor retailer breaking the law they should call the cops and the consequences should come down like a ton of bricks. But, of course, there will be no specific allega-tions and instead hundreds

of ethically unimpeachable local businesspeople will be smeared with the same slanderous brush. The over-whelming majority of more than 600 local businesses who already sell liquor through rural franchises and off-sales care deeply about their com-munity and do everything possible to keep kids safe. To suggest otherwise is ignor-ant, bigoted and wrong.

Unlike previous attempts to improve Saskatchewan’s l iquor regulations, Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Minister Don McMorris has done more by doing less. The system is spared further complica-tion and distortion with dif-ferent perks and restrictions imposed on different special interest groups. Instead, the government asked what would be best for consum-ers and the answer is sim-ple: give Saskatchewanians the freedom to choose the retailer that provides the best combination of service, selection and price.

The Hon. Rona Ambrose, Leader of the Official Opposition, and Interim Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, announced the appointment of Yo r k t o n - M e l v i l l e Member of Parliament Cathay Wagantall to the position of Shadow Cabinet Deputy Critic for Veterans Affairs.

The 32-member Conservative Shadow Cabinet is tasked with the responsibil-

ity of holding the gov-ernment to account in Parliament on a wide range of national and international issues.

“I am honoured to be given this respon-sibility by our lead-er, and I look for-ward to working with my colleague, Veterans Affairs Critic, MP Alupa Clarke. Together, we will hold the govern-ment’s feet to the fire on all issues affecting Canada’s Veterans,”

said Wagantall.“On Remembrance

Day I was pleased to attend the Yorkton Legion General Alexander Ross Branch #77 banquet to honour our vet-erans by bringing greetings on behalf of the Government of Canada. At that time I told them ‘they have my deepest gratitude, my prayers, my heart and my ear’. I am looking forward to fulfilling that com-

mitment as Deputy Critic for Veterans Affairs.”

“I believe the team we have assembled will be the strongest Official Opposition this country has ever seen,” Ambrose said. “I am proud to lead this team of talented and respected individuals from across Canada. Together, we will ask the Government the tough questions and hold them to account.”

MP Wagantall named opposition deputy critic

In case anyone was wondering what hap-pened with that east-ern Saskatchewan fireball on the 8th, we are continuing to track down photos, videos and eye witness reports to narrow the probable impact area down to a searchable number of square kilometres. We have a pretty good idea of where to look already, but need to verify this so we don’t look silly later. I’m busy daily tracking down leads, and if you’d like to add to them, or just ask a question, I can be reached at 306-783-5634 or [email protected]. Stay tuned.

But, enough of that day time work. Early sunsets mean longer evenings for star gaz-ing, and interesting objects line themselves up all winter to tempt you out of doors.

High in the south-ern sky for the next few months you will find the Andromeda Galaxy, the twin to our Milky Way spiral, but with a much cooler name. At a distance of 2.5 light years (in kilo-metres, that’s 2.5 and 19 zeros), it’s the fur-thest thing in the uni-verse that you can see with the naked eye.

If you look up for the next few nights, the first thing you will notice is the Moon. Full on the 25th, it’s still bright enough to wash out the eastern sky. However, when it moves on by month’s end, the stars and con-stellations of one of the most interesting parts of the sky will stand out plainly.

The Moon passes through Taurus on the 26th, northern Orion on the 27th and then on through Gemini and Cancer. Taurus the Bull is marked by red giant Aldebaran, the Pleiades star clus-ter and the Crab Nebula, an exploded star witnessed and recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054.

Above Taurus, high up in the eastern sky, we find Capella, the sixth brightest star in the night sky. A relatively nearby neighbour of ours, Capella is made up of

four stars in orbit around each other.

Low on the horizon in November is Orion the Hunter, crowned by Betelgeuse, a giant red star with a diame-ter some 700 times that of our Sun. You will also find the Great Orion Nebula, a large gas cloud that is the ongoing birthplace of countless new stars. The Orion Nebula, over a million times the diameter of the solar system, is also visible in a dark sky with your eyes alone, appearing as a shiny cloud about the size of the Moon.

We’ll turn our atten-tion to these and other winter wonders as they get a little higher in the sky. Although it includes bundling up, winter features some of the best objects the sky has to offer.

Oh, and did I men-tion there’s a comet coming? Better do that next week.

Looking forward to winter for stargazing

Children are like sponges – they soak up everything. Even the words that parents do not like to hear! Parents need to decide on what words are acceptable and what words are not. Parents must keep in mind that some words that may be acceptable in the home are not acceptable in a school setting.

Swearing is using words that tend to be rude or offensive. We must understand that it is unrealistic to expect our children to never swear. Many children will experi-ment with the words as they hear others using them. Swearing is likely to continue if children receive a reac-tion from the words. This could be in the form of laughter or long winded discus-sions on why not to swear.

As parents or care-givers, we need to set a

good example for our children. We cannot expect our children to not swear when we ourselves use swear words on a regular basis. Instead of using swear words, use words that are accept-able to express frustra-tion or anger such as “Ahh Butter Knuckles! My toast burnt!”

If you catch your child swearing, try to use planned ignoring. Do not look at or talk to them about that word that came out. If swearing does not get a reaction, it may stop all on its own.

If swearing contin-ues to occur and is becoming a problem try the following sug-gestion.

· Plan Ahead· Discuss this with

your child· Talk about conse-

quences· Praise your child

for using good lan-guage.

THE MC KNOLL Knights girls’ volleyball team won the Yorkton Elementary School Sports Association (YESSA) Girls’ Volleyball City Championship on Monday night. The Knights defeated the Dr. Brass Bears in straight sets 25-16, 25-18 in the finals to win the title.

IT WAS A beautiful Sunday afternoon for the inaugural Turkey Shoot event at Patrick Park Disc Gold Course, with the money raised over expenses going to the new Parkland Association of Disc Golf. The 18-basket event would go to a three-basket playoff after three players were tied with 6-points after the round. Calvin Daniels, right, would end up with a birdie putt on the modified #3 for the win and the biggest of the turkeys. Adam Daniels, centre, was second and Trevor Lyons, left, third.

Government has approved a number of recommendations put for-ward by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) for changes to its Safe Driver Recognition program.

The changes are in response to customer input and analysis undertaken by SGI over the past few years.

“Throughout the review of the Safe Driver Recognition program, there was a common theme we kept hearing – safe drivers deserve higher rewards and risky drivers deserve tough-er penalties,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. “Well, you asked and we listened. The changes increase vehicle insurance discounts for the

safest drivers and toughen penalties for unsafe driv-ing.”

Changes are:The safety rating scale

will grow to +25, allowing the safest drivers to earn a discount on basic vehicle insurance of up to 25 per cent.

Financial penalties will double from $25 to $50 per point for drivers in the pen-

alty zone.All manually-enforced

speeding convictions will result in loss of points under the program.

All at-fault collisions will result in loss of points, but the program will take the seriousness of a collision into consideration. Drivers who cause collisions with claim payouts under $700 will lose four points. Those

who cause collisions with claim payouts of $700 or more will lose six points.

The changes will be implemented mid-2016, fol-lowing regulatory changes.

The Safe Driver Recognition program was created in 2002 to recog-nize drivers with good driv-ing records and give them some added incentive to keep their records safe,

while offering a deterrent to those with unsafe driving habits. Drivers with good records are rewarded with discounts on their basic vehicle insurance, while high-risk drivers pay more.

For more informa-tion about the Safe Driver Recognition program chan-ges, visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca.

Changes to safe driver recognition

“A Year at River Mountain”

by Michael KenyonPublished by

Thistledown PressReview by Shelley A.

Leedahl$19.95 ISBN 978-1-

927068-04-5Sometimes a book is a

river, drawing us in. Such is A Year at River Mountain, by heralded BC writer Michael Kenyon. The enig-matic 68-year-old narrator of Kenyon’s introspective novel is, like most of us, trying to make sense of his

life.The former stage and

screen actor’s removed himself from the manic “engine,” “blue-green anger” and “loneliness” of the western world to seek harmony and practice acu-pressure in a Chinese mon-astery. He writes: “I am at River Mountain because I have turned my back on my family, history, coun-try.” His former world included an estranged wife and son and his profes-sional roles; stark contrast to the valley, mountains,

temples, plum trees, bam-boo forest and fellow monks that surround him now.

It sounds pacific, but there are memories to wrestle with, and desire, and near the river beneath the monastery, nomadic tribes spar over boundaries and hungry children go missing.

The nameless monk’s past and present converge; he has traded “monks for players, master for direc-tor” as he goes about his daily routines of prayers,

meditation, chores (ie: sweeping leaves from the temple path so the walk to and fro is soundless), meet-ings with the master, and practicing one-point acu-pressure (“the mapping of stars within the human body”) on other monks and villagers who require heal-ing. The narrator says, “This calm collaboration. Being solitary in commu-nity. It is all I ever really wanted.” He considers what bowing meant in his former life, and what it means now: “Each time I am bowed to I bow, while offstage music plays.”

Kenyon possesses a writing style all his own. It’s dreamy, hypnotic.

Seemingly random observations, asides and ideas are like stones in a river; his narrator at once child and elder, leaping across them. The short, subtitled sections often read like prose poems. A single section might include a memory from his married life, the master’s

tears, and the seals in Active Pass. Lush descrip-tions of the weather and landscape are teased out between passages concern-ing monastic life and the narrator’s relationships with his spiritual brothers (including the blind bell-ringer, Frank, who lived in Illinois and “is good at small engine repairs”); Zou Yiyuan, the wise, nomadic dwarf who becomes his new master; and Zou Yiyuan’s beautiful, sha-manic sister. There’s also the expectation of the return of Imogen, the “blonde and waif-like” Canadian actor who’s both chimera and “a kind of guide, pointing out this and that, this icon, that text.”

Kenyon’s characters are never dull and dialogue is never wasted. Readers are involved via direct address and philosophic question-ing, ie: “If the world is still does chaos rise as a kind of sensitivity?”

As the actor-turned-

monk writes his life story, he asks: “How can we tell what doesn’t matter?” Kenyon shows us that it all matters, from “Sunlight on the trees” to “The pulse stored under the skin.”

One does not so much read this book as swim through it. I feel richer for the tolling bells and the passionate journey.

There are many things people take for granted around Christmas time. One of those things can be a family portrait, with many families being unable to afford one. That is the inspiration behind Help Portrait, running at SIGN on Broadway on December 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This is a worldwide event, says Jenna Niebergall-Kuntz, orga-nizer of the Yorkton event. There have been successful Help Portrait events in Saskatoon and Regina already, and she says bringing it to the city was born out of a desire to replicate that success here.

“Our aim is to grow it every year, until it’s a really big, well known event in Yorkton every December.”

As family portraits get more common, and peo-ple get them done more frequently, it has become something people take for granted, Niebergall-Kuntz says, but many families have never had it done.

“It’s Christmas time, everyone wants to do

something good and give back to the community, so what an awesome way to do something. It takes a small amount of time and it’s not a huge cost, but it gives something to someone that is pretty memorable and pretty special that they can cherish for a long time.”

During the day, there will be several stations for families to get por-traits. With this the first year of the event, Niebergall-Kuntz says she does not know what to expect, but that she hopes to provide photos to as many families as they can. Each family gets one photo, edited, printed and delivered.

“If you have five fami-lies and five photos get done, it’s still a success.”

The photographers themselves are strictly volunteer, with all ranges of skill levels being wel-come to take photos over the day. Niebergall-Kuntz says that volun-teering can also be an educational experience, as more experienced pho-tographers can teach oth-ers.

People who don’t want to be behind the camera can also help, she notes, whether that means

donating equipment, backdrops and props, or people volunteering to edit photos, doing hair and make-up, or doing other jobs through the day.

The families them-selves need to bring noth-ing but themselves, and Niebergall-Kuntz says they’re open to whatever people want.

“If it’s something that you need and it’s some-thing that you can’t afford for your family, you meet all of the crite-ria.”

The event is presented with the Yorkton Family Resource Centre. Niebergall-Kuntz says that the partnership is a great one because of their goal for the event.

As temperatures start to dip, Regina Mobile Crisis Services, The Salvation Army, the Ministry of Social Services and their community partners are asking members of the public to call if they see someone in need of a warm place to stay.

“We need to make sure that everyone knows where to call if they see or know someone who is left out in the cold, espe-cially as temperatures reach dangerously low levels throughout the winter,” Regina Mobile Crisis Services Executive Director John McFadyen said. “We have a really good system to make sure that people have warm places to stay, so it’s important that people know how to access it.”

“If you see someone in immediate danger, call 911 to get that person the help they need right away,” Salvation Army Major Mike Hoeft said. “If you personally know someone who is in need of help, please get them in touch with the Ministry of Social Services or any other community service agency.”

Since 2007, 248 new shelter spaces have been created in the province, which is a 128 per cent increase. Government has also increased emergency shelter funding by 21 per cent for individ-uals and up to 361 per cent for families, depending on the num-ber of children.

“Everyone should know that assist-ance is available for people who are in need of emergency shel-ter,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. “It is so important that each one of us knows where to call if we see some-one who needs help.”

In Regina, Mobile Crisis Services pro-vides after-hours and weekend services and referrals and is avail-able at 306-757-0127. Individuals will be connected with the various shelter sup-ports in Regina that are appropriate to their needs. During weekday business hours, individuals can drop in to the Ministry of Social Services’ Regina Service Centre at 2045 Broad Street for assistance.

In Saskatoon, the Salvation Army, 306-242-6280 provides after-hours emergency services and refer-rals. Individuals will be connected with the various shelter sup-ports in Saskatoon that are appropri-ate to their needs. During daytime busi-ness hours, individ-uals may drop in to the Ministry of Social Services’ Saskatoon Service Centre at 160 - 2nd Avenue South for

assistance.In Prince Albert,

Prince Albert Mobile Crisis is available after hours at 306-764-1011 and will con-nect callers with shel-ter supports. YWCA after hours emergency services for men and women at Our House, 15th Street Location, are available at 306-922-6162.

In other commun-ities across the prov-ince, individuals are advised to contact their nearest Ministry of Social Services Service Centre at www.social-services.gov.sk.ca/ser-vice-delivery, an emer-gency shelter or Mobile Crisis Service, if avail-able in their commun-

ity, or police. If some-one is in immediate danger, please call 911 to ensure a per-son in need receives help. For a list of shel-ters and services for people in need across the province, individ-

uals may also refer to the www.sk.211.ca website.

“Nobody should be without a warm and safe place to sleep,” Harpauer said. “This is why our ministry has partnered with local community-based organizations to help people without a place to call home. These supports are designed to help people with-out the means to pay for their own shelter through income sup-ports, emergency shel-ters, or short-term stays at hotels.”

Last year, the Regina Cold Weather Strategy group teamed up to develop a secure website to help make it easier to keep track of shelter capacity. The website allows shelters to report their availability and keep the information up-

to-date throughout the night. Emergency Shelter Availability can be viewed at www.mobilecrisis.ca.

The Saskatoon Cold Weather Strategy group meets in advance of the win-ter season to activate their plan. Daily com-munication through text messages, email or phone occurs when the wind-chill or tem-perature exceeds -40C, the snowfall warning is 10 or more centim-eters, or there are serious weather warn-ings. Participating organizations are advised by email when cold weather is pre-dicted and submit an agency assessment summary. A confer-ence call is then held if the agency summary shows that there are pressures to meet the demand for services.

Next time you’re in Victoria, you should take the time to visit two of Victoria’s lesser-known gardens.

Where one is shel-tered, quiet and seclud-ed, the other is larger, more diverse, and teem-ing with dozens of proj-ects.

For tranquility noth-ing can compare to the quiet beauty of Finnerty Garden (www.uvic.ca/finnerty/), located in the southwest corner of the University of Victoria campus, just beyond the small Interfaith Chapel. Wandering along the net-work of shaded paths, sitting on one of the many carefully placed benches enjoying trees reflected in a pond or simply absorbing the interplay of colour and texture, peace prevails throughout. One would never realize they were in the middle of a busy campus and adjacent to a parking lot.

The Garden is named after the two Finnerty brothers who emigrated from Ireland in the 1850s. They established a market garden and orchard on the land now occupied by the Garden. Their families continued to farm the land until

about 1926.Finnerty Gardens was

established in 1975 with the planting of a notable collection of Rhodendron species (many obtained directly or indirectly from famous plant explorers of the day). The collection – the largest such in British Columbia – was a part of the estate that Mrs. Jeanne Buchanan of Cowichan Lake left the University. Many of the specimens were over fifty years old when they were trans-planted to their new home.

Today, the Finnerty Gardens contains over 4000 trees and shrubs, among them magnolia, maple, birch, spruce, Douglas fir and the native Garry oak. There are more than 1,500 rho-dodendron (flowering from mid-January to June) and azaleas as well as an enormous range of herbaceous under-plant-ings and naturalized bulbs such as tulips, nar-cissi, anemone, bluebells, grape hyacinth, pink ner-ine, camas, fritillary, marsh marigolds, bleed-ing heart, oxalis, orna-mental grasses and many ferns.

For your horticultural pleasure and enlighten-

ment, most plants are labeled (with common and botanical names). A detailed plan and walk-ing tour of the 6.5 acre site is available for down-load from the garden website. Finnerty Gardens is open to the public during daylight hours at no charge.

The Horticulture Centre of the Pacific (www.hcp.ca) is the only private not-for-profit post-secondary institu-tion in British Columbia accredited by the prov-ince to provide horticul-ture education. With 103 acres of gardens, wood-lands and wetlands, it is located on the southern

tip of Vancouver Island in Saanich, just 15 min-utes from downtown Victoria.

What impressed me the most at the HCP in late October? The sweep of meadow below the demonstration gardens with its curving border of tall billowing ornamen-tal grasses and center-piece sculpture figura-tively (and almost liter-ary) blew me away. And situated on the crest of the hill above the Japanese Garden, in an irregular oval space sur-rounded by venerable trees, were four waist height half-moon-shaped tables used to display an

amazing collection of bonsai.

The gardens within HCP are many and var-ied: collections of heath-er, rhododendron, lilies and hardy plants; the Doris Page Winter Garden and the Takata Japanese Garden com-plete with a ceremonial teahouse; drought toler-ant and Mediterranean gardens; a native plant garden; a children’s gar-den along with a birds, bees and butterflies gar-den; vegetable, fruit, herb gardens and orchard; and the largest bonsai collection in Canada.

They are cared for by volunteers, affiliate gar-dening societies, centre staff and students. Private tours, group tours and school tours are available. The gar-dens are seen as a “living classroom” and well used throughout the year by students, the on-site Master Gardener pro-gram, and individuals attending the numerous workshops and specialty lectures. There is a res-

taurant and small gift shop on site.

THE NEWS REVIEW

Creative Saskat che wan is proud to announce a new made- in- Saskatchewan feature film will begin pro-duction this winter. Land of Rock and Gold will shoot, on location, in La Ronge.

Co- producers Janine Windolph, originally from La Ronge, and Daniel Redenbach successfully applied to Creative Saskatchewan’s Screen Based Media Production grant to make the produc-tion a reality.

“There is so much good news to share when it comes to how this produc-tion came to life,” said Redenbach. “From the funding formula including Creative Saskatchewan plus Telefilm’s micro budget program, to the use of a non- actor cast, to the unique setting and season, Land of Rock and Gold is a production like none other.”

“Creative Saskat chewan is excited to support Land of Rock and Gold’s commu-nity-based production model,” said JP Ellson, CEO of Creative Saskatchewan.

“The producers’ goal of ensuring the local commu-nity is engaged in this film production is a great and unique initiative.”

Land of Rock and Gold is described as a missing persons mystery about a young mother and son, who turn to the community to find a man who has gone missing from their lives.

Just as the characters on the screen will “turn to the community,” so, too, have the producers throughout the pre- production phase.

“My goal is to make a creative impact on the land,” said Windolph.

“Amongst many other discussions, I’ve met with the Chief and Council of Lac La Ronge to ensure that the community has the opportunity to participate in this organic production at every level,” said Windolph.

The “organic” nature of

this production means, in part, that many of the roles on screen will be played by non- actors.

“That’s something many filmmakers would shy away from,” said Redenbach. “But, Janine is not your typical filmmaker. Her special touch with the community builds the trust required to reveal untapped talent.”

Other elements of this unique “organic” produc-tion include careful consid-eration of long- term effects of the production on the community and close col-laboration between resi-dents and producers to ensure that the community receives measurable bene-fits. Shooting a feature film in La Ronge, in winter, will be a significant challenge, but was a critical setting and season to both produc-ers.

“We want to tell a unique Saskatchewan story,” said Redenbach. “Depicting the brutal winters that shape our lives is one way to achieve that, since they are so seldom seen on film.”

To Windolph, shooting a feature film in her home-town offers a compelling opportunity.

“It’s all about planting seeds,” she said.

“I consider it my respon-sibility to share knowledge, and to never stop learning myself. When I make mov-ies, lead workshops, or build community consen-sus, I’m working to create a ripple effect. If I empower a new storyteller to be heard, then I’ve succeeded,” said Windolph.

NATIONAL CHILD DAY – Children from schools across the Good Spirit School Division and Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division had an opportunity to learn about their rights as part of National Child Day. Pictured, students take the chance to learn about nutrition with fun and games and talk about issues important to them.


S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s Licensed Practical Nurses were proud to mark Nov. 24 as the 15th anniver-sary of the proclamation of the Licensed Practical Nurses Act 2000, legis-lation which established LPNs as a fully autono-mous, self-regulating nursing profession, work-ing within their own scope of practice, stan-dards of practice and code of ethics.

“November 24, 2000 was an important date in the Saskatchewan health care field, and LPNs are proud to mark this special occasion,” said Lynsay Nair, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Association of Licensed

Practical Nurses (SALPN).

“When the Licensed Practical Nurses Act 2000 was proclaimed, there were approximately two thousand LPNs working in the province. Today that number approaches three thousand seven hundred, and the LPN workforce is growing at about 4% per year. More than half of Saskatchewan’s LPNs (51%) work in acute care facilities such as hospitals, while 37% are employed in long term care facilities such as nursing homes. Other members of the profession are employed in Home Care (5%) and various specialized pro-grams (7%) across the

province,” Nair noted.“LPNs are one of

three disciplines of pro-fessional nursing in Saskatchewan: Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses and Registered Psychiatric Nurses. LPNs study from the same body of nursing knowledge as Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs), with a focus on foundational knowledge, critical think-ing, and clinical judg-ment. Saskatchewan LPNs graduate with a two year diploma in practical nursing, which provides 1,787 instructional hours, including 712 hours of theoretical instruction

and over 1,075 hours of clinical / lab experience,” Nair added.

“The SALPN is mandated through the Licensed Practical Nurses Act 2000 to regu-late the profession accord-ing to its Bylaws and Standards of Practice, in a manner that protects the public. In addition to overseeing the registra-tion standards and com-

petencies of the profes-sion, the SALPN is the counseling, disciplining and licensure body for Licensed Practical Nurses in our province. Utilizing best practice approaches, the SALPN supports col-laborative practice and patient-centered care,” Nair said.

The SALPN cur-rently works with the Ministry of Health,

the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association (SRNA), the Registered Psychiatric Nurses Association of Saskatchewan (RPNAS), other regulated health care providers, employ-ers, members andunions to collectively work toward excellence in nursing care for the people of Saskatchewan,” Nair concluded.

Saskatchewan Licensed Practical Nurses Mark Important Anniversary

SaskPower goes greenSaskPower to develop

wind, solar and geother-mal power to meet up to 50 per cent renewable tar-get

SaskPower is commit-ted to reducing emissions for a more environmental-ly sustainable future, and today, Minister respon-sible for SaskPower Bill Boyd joined SaskPower President and CEO Mike Marsh to announce that the corporation has set a target to double the per-centage of renewable elec-tricity generation capacity in Saskatchewan by 2030.

“An objective of 50 per cent renewable power by 2030 is ambitious, but I’m confident SaskPower can meet the target by tak-ing an ‘all of the above’ approach to planning,” said Minister Boyd. “That means a major expansion of wind power augmented by other renewables, such as solar, biomass, geother-mal and hydro, to go along with the world leading Boundary Dam 3 carbon capture project and more natural gas generation. This is the framework for a responsible clean energy plan that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions while ensur-ing Saskatchewan has a reliable, affordable supply of electricity for years to come.”

Today, about 25 per cent of Saskatchewan’s generation capacity comes from renewable sources – 20 per cent from hydro and 5 per cent or 220 megawatts (MW) from wind. Three new wind power projects already approved or in develop-ment will add another 207 MW of renewable genera-tion by 2020.

SaskPower is planning to move forward with utility scale solar power generation, which would include at least 60 MW of solar, with a competitive procurement beginning in 2016. In an effort to expand the number of cus-tomers generating solar power, the corporation is also reviewing its Net Metering program, which offers customers generat-ing up to 100 kilowatts of renewable energy technol-ogy the opportunity to get credit for the unused por-

tion of their excess elec-tricity.

SaskPower has invested in geother-mal technology pre-feasibility studies to evaluate its potential in Saskatchewan. The cor-poration is optimistic that it can be a part of our diversified energy future, and will continue to work with the industry to deter-mine how the technology could work within our sys-tem.

SaskPower’s plans to expand wind could make the company a leader in Canada. However, SaskPower President and CEO Mike Marsh empha-sized that adding wind and other renewables in a way that’s affordable for customers is what’s important.

“The key here is that wind power has become much more economic over the years as the technol-ogy has developed. We’ve been able to understand how wind operates on our grid so we can add it in a way that balances our priorities of maintaining a sustainable and diversi-fied generation mix with the delivery of reliable and cost-effective power to our customers,” said Marsh. “We’ll take that same approach to add-ing other clean options to make our renewables tar-get of up to 50 per cent by 2030,” he said.

To meet the target of up to 50 per cent of SaskPower’s generation capacity from renewable sources, the corporation will be moving forward with procurement of another 100 MW of wind generation in 2016 and will develop up to 800 MW of new wind generation between 2019 and 2030.

“SaskPower’s new wind energy targets rep-resent an important step forward for wind energy in Saskatchewan and will enable the province to capture more of its plen-tiful and cost-effective wind energy resources,” said Robert Hornung, President of the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA). “An initial procurement of 100 MW of new wind energy in 2016, followed by a series

of planned future procure-ments for additional wind energy, will attract signifi-cant interest and ensure a highly competitive pro-cess that will produce low cost clean electricity gen-eration for Saskatchewan ratepayers.”

Adding more clean electricity builds on SaskPower’s innovative carbon capture and stor-age initiatives, which the corporation will continue to explore in order to determine how to replace conventional coal-fired electricity generation in light of existing and emer-ging greenhouse gas emis-sions regulations.
