Air ambulance makes training flight to airport

Ottenbreit now the Minister for Rural and Remote Health

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The newest helicop-ter in the STARS Air Ambulance fleet is mak-ing its way around the province, and it recently stopped in Yorkton in order to train local emergency services.

The big difference with the new AW139 over the existing heli-copters in the fleet is range. According to Tara Oliver, flight para-medic, this means that they can reach any-where in the province in the new aircraft.

“It allows us to fly further, faster, so we can actually have access to anywhere in the prov-ince in this new aircraft. For us, the ability to have that extra distance is a huge bonus.”

The AW139 is also easier to fly, with a more extensive auto pilot system and more computer controls for functions.

The trip around the province is also training

for the pilots, so they can get comfortable with the different design over the existing BK117.

Many Yorkton-Melville constituents have a Ukrainian heri-tage. I’m sure they would have loved to join me in Ottawa two weeks ago on the day that Prime Minister Stephen Harper welcomed Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to address Parliament.

In his address, President Poroshenko, who had never before vis-ited our country, stated, “I am thankful to Canada. Your country was one of the soundest supporters of Ukraine,” adding, “As a Commander in Chief, as a Ukrainian, and as a father of a soldier, I thank Canada for each life that is being saved today in the Ukrainian Donetsk by every bullet-proof vest or helmet you gave to us.”

Since the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine, Canada has stood stead-fastly with Ukrainians in their struggle to restore political and economic stability. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was the first G7 leader to visit Ukraine in the current crisis. To make certain of the integrity of the elec-toral process, Canada sent 500 electoral observ-ers, who monitored the presidential election. Prime Minister Harper attended the swearing-in of elected President Petro Poroshenko.

Canada has been a leader in condemning Russia’s illegal occupa-tion of Crimea. Our gov-ernment has also taken the lead in imposing eco-nomic sanctions and travel bans against the people responsible for the ongoing crisis. Our Prime Minister’s leadership within the G7 assisted with Russia’s expulsion from the G8, and our Government continues to work with the interna-tional community to be sure that Ukrainians can determine the future of their own country.

During the visit, the

leaders discussed a plan to restore Ukraine’s ter-ritorial integrity and ensure its sovereignty in the face of Russian mili-tary aggression in east-ern Ukraine. Prime Minister Harper reiter-ated our principled posi-tion when he said, “We will never – ever – recog-nize the illegal Russian occupation of any Ukrainian territory.”

Building on our unwavering support for Ukraine, the leaders reached an agreement on the provision of a Canadian loan to Ukraine. This low-inter-est loan is helping stabi-lize Ukraine’s economy, and promote economic and social development during this challenging time. Prime Minister Harper also announced an additional $3 million in humanitarian assis-tance. This funding is helping support our international partners who are providing medi-

cal attention, food, safe drinking water, sanita-tion, shelter and emer-gency response to those in the areas affected by the ongoing conflict, including the nearly 200,000 displaced Ukrainians.

With freedom, democ-racy and the rule of law as our guiding principles, the Government of Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine. As Prime Minister Harper stated “...whatever lies ahead, Canada and Ukraine will continue to move forward together.”

Continued support for Ukraine freedom

Art you can sleep under at the library

Job Grant launched

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The quilts made by the York Colony Quilter’s Guild will keep you warm on a cold day, but they’re more than just a blanket. The community pART-ners gallery in the Yorkton Public Library’s current show highlights the art of quilting and the work that goes into every piece the guild does.

Paula Maier with the guild says that she has always felt that the work done by the local quilters was of an extremely high quality, but that the mem-bers were too modest to really show off their work. As a result, she approached Sandra MacColl about doing a show to highlight the work the quilters were doing.

“There really is a skill involved in picking the right pattern and picking the colours to go with it. The work is very precise.”

The show also features the different styles of quilt that members do, from group quilts to individual work, as well as both free

form and more traditional quilts. Maier says seeing it all displayed together in the gallery is a wonder-ful feeling, and a great way to see what the guild does.

One of the challenges for putting the show on was just finding quilts, Maier reveals, because they are meant to be used. She says within the guild itself, work is often given to charities such as the Health Foundation, Victim Services, Ronald McDonald House and the Red Cross, as well as placemats for Meals on Wheels clients and cos-metics bags for Shelwyn house. Even personal work was hard to come by, as most of it is given to friends as family as gifts if not used in the home itself. The quilts are meant to be used, she says.

Maier hopes that the show inspires people to join up and become part of the guild itself. The club, which meets every Wednesday a the Western Development Museum.

The Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant is a system which allows employers to get two thirds of training costs back for employees. The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce recently host-ed an information meet-ing to outline how the system works and the ways businesses can take advantage of it.

To qualify for the pro-gram, employers can do up to $15,000 in training per employee per year, up to a maximum of $250,000. They must supply a third of that training. While it can be handled in any setting, all training must be done by a third-party agency that is not affiliated with the employer. At the end of the training period, the employer must have a job for the employee in question, and that job must be located within Saskatchewan. As well, the employee must be either a Canadian citi-zen or a permanent resi-dent.

The training costs covered under the pro-gram are things like tuition fees, student fees, textbooks and other required materials and exam fees. This means that living expenses are not covered under the program. As well, the employer must cover the full cost of the programs and are paid out at the conclusion of the train-ing. Smaller employers, those who employ under 50 people, are eligible to apply for wages to be 50 per cent of their contri-bution. The grant is not

available to employers in the public sector, such as municipalities, health regions and school dis-tricts.

The program exists to encourage new training for new jobs and advance-ment, rather than main-taining standards for existing ones. It is not meant to replace current programs, but introduce new ones. To keep track of the progress of the program in the pilot years, and its success rate, employees will be asked to do a survey about how the extra training has impacted their careers and income.

At the information meeting, Larry Wells who works with the pro-gram, admitted that it will likely be more focused towards invested in training in existing employees rather than new hires, because of the risk of training new peo-ple. Employers will not be penalized if an employee does not com-plete a training program, but they will still need to cover the costs. This is likely to make employ-ers want to prioritize people they can trust to complete the program.

Don Rae, owner of Crusader Drilling says that he likes what he hears about the pro-gram. He says that train-ing is a major cost for his business, especially in terms in training new employees, and that training budgets are always a major expense no matter where you are.

“If you can hire more people, it’s always creat-ing more jobs.”

The Yorkton RCMP recently posted a photo on their Facebook page that showed a driver who was pulled over in front of the Yorkton Regional High School. The problem was that the driver was driving on the left side of the median, driving against traffic. What does it say that this doesn’t surprise me at all?

In fact, this is not the first time I have seen some-one driving the wrong way down a Yorkton street, it’s not even the fifth time. It was even a car that I had never seen before, so this is likely a unique instance of someone being confused by how streets work. In fact, once I was almost hit by someone in a green Mercury Grand Marquis who was coming at me head-on in the middle of winter. While some people might be shocked that someone was found taking a unique approach to going down the city’s streets, it’s hardly the first time I’ve seen it, and I doubt it will be the last.

What do you do to deal with this problem? I’m not entirely sure, because it seems like something that should not actually be a problem. It’s not like divided streets are something either new or novel, they have been a part of driving for decades, and have been part of Yorkton’s own roads from long before I ever lived here. It shouldn’t be a problem because it seems

impossible to get a driver’s license without an under-standing of how they work. Divided roadways are just there, a common sight in every city in the country, yet somehow people still manage to get confused by this most basic of concepts.

There could be the argument that there needs to be more testing, but then you run into the problem of who gets tested. For example, some might argue that it’s the elderly that need a brush up on their driving skills, but the driver in question during the latest incident was a 24 year old from Canora. Clearly not in any way elderly, and someone on the road long enough that they should at least have a basic idea of how roads work. The extra testing could be imple-

mented before they get their license in the first place, but what about the majority of drivers who already have their license anyway? Plus is it fair to force test-ing on all of us who know how roads work when it’s only a slim minority who can’t figure out left and right, or that if lots of traffic is coming at you head on you might be doing things wrong.

One could argue for extra enforcement, but there are only so many police officers, and these incidents are happening on places like Smith Street, which is where the police go to the office. Enforcement also does not address the main problem here, which is that apparently there are people in this city, whether they visit or live here permanently, who don’t know how to perform the easiest and most essential task in driving – avoiding oncoming traffic.

Every city has its traffic problems, Salt Lake City, Utah is confused by the concept of shoulder checking, Saskatoon tends to regard letting people in from an exit to be some kind of crime, and somehow Yorkton has an alarmingly high number of wrong way drivers. There is no obvious way to fix this, but perhaps if you know someone with this problem, you can paste the following sentence in a prominent place in their car: Drive on the right side of the road, not the left, it’s really not that hard to do.

Canadians are willing to drive further if it means getting a good price on gas, according to a new poll released this week by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), as it launched a new online service that allows Canadians to better inform themselves about gas prices.*

CAA’s app and website provide the price of gas wherever you are, as well as average prices for communities, provinces and the country.

They can be downloaded at www.getgaspric-es.ca, or through Android and Apple app stores, and are free and available to anyone.

In Saskatchewan, the gas prices are avail-able in the following communities: Yorkton, Weyburn, Swift Current, North Battleford, Estevan, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina, and Saskatoon.

“Motorists and consumers can access www.getgasprices.ca for up-to-date listings of gas prices in several of our communities plus cur-rent gas prices in other provinces,” said Christine Niemczyk, director of communications, CAA Saskatchewan. She added, “The website also offers great tools and resources to help us become more gas savvy with information on everything from how the price of gas is deter-mined, how gas is made, and how we can become eco drivers.”

“Gas prices are something that Canadians watch closely,” says Jeff Walker, vice-president of public affairs, CAA National. “Canadians often feel helpless about the cost of gas. Our new products provide consumers with the knowledge needed to make a well-informed decision on when to gas up.”

Looking at the past 12 months, the national average was as high as $1.39/litre in June 2014, and as low as $1.20/litre in November 2013, according to figures from www.getgasprices.ca.

The new app displays gas prices at thousands of individual gas stations across Canada, while www.getgasprices.ca shows the average gas price for the past day, week, month and year for over 100 Canadian cities, as well as for the provinces and the country as a whole.

The app and website can be accessed from each other. For more information or to down-load the app, visit http://gasprices.caa.ca/find-prices-at-the-pump/.

*The CAA poll surveyed 1,252 Canadians. A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of +/-2.8%, 19 times out of 20.

Things I do with words...

In just one genera-tion, the number of Canadian kids walking to school has fallen from 58 per cent to 28 per cent. That trend has inspired Saskatchewan in motion to challenge families to give walking a try during Walk to School Week, October 6-10.

“When we were kids, most of us walked to school, but that’s not the case for the vast majority of kids today,” says Cathie Kryzanowski, General Manager of Saskatchewan in motion. “That trend is one of the reasons why less than 15 per cent of Saskatchewan kids are meeting national guidelines for physical activity.”

Walking or biking to school is one of the easiest ways for kids to build physical activity into their day, and Walk to School Week is the perfect time to try it.

“We see this trend all across Saskatchewan,” says Kryzanowski, “and it causes a lot of issues around schools. Parents are concerned for the safety of their children, but by driving, they’re actually contributing to traffic congestion that makes it less safe for those who do walk or bike.”

Kryzanowski says the Walk to School Challenge is a chance to show families that walking to school is

easier than they think and has some great ben-efits.

“Kids who walk arrive at school relaxed and ready to learn. They build independence, spend time with friends and get some of the 60 plus minutes of physical

activity they need every day. And of course, more people walking means safer streets for everyone.”

Participating is easy. Saskatchewan in motion is asking kids to walk to school at least once during the challenge. Those who post a Walk to Selfie on the Saskatchewan in motion Facebook page will be entered to win a $250 bundle of physical activity toys and gear.

Schools across the province have also signed up to get kids walking for a chance to win $1,000 for sports and physical activity gear. Students at participating schools will be issued Walking Passports and one lucky student who fills his or her passport by walking five days will win a second $250 bundle of active toys and gear.

Families can visit www.saskatchewaninmotion.ca for more information about the Walk to School Challenge and tips for getting started.

To the Editor:The secret to Justin

Trudeau’s public appeal is the same characteris-tics that most annoy his critics.

He is young. He is charismatic. He is will-ing to listen.

He is not prepared to surrender his right to make up his own mind and take a clear policy position when all is said

and done. In the mean-time he is prepared to listen.

“A woman’s right to choose” is a clear case in point.

Justin stands in stark contrast to those leaders who appear convinced that they know all there is to know about every-thing, all the time.

Leaders like this are unwilling to listen to

friend or foe alike. When mistakes are made they tend to send some under-ling out front to take the fall. How else do they preserve their image or infallibility.

Trudeau’s lack of rigid policy positions on some issues annoys his critics no end. At what point that will become a problem for him is still to be seen. Clearly not

yet.In politics, those who

refuse to listen to any-one, invariably end up with more enemies than friends. A very precari-ous position.

“Keep some of your policy options open Justin.” “You need a reason to keep on listen-ing”

To the Editor:Back in Canada’s pre-Confederation days, one selling

point for uniting the then-disparate British provinces was to drop existing barriers to commerce. The hope was for a country with a free-flow of trade and services in which all could potentially prosper.

For example, in 1865, George Brown, the Globe news-paper founder and Upper Canada politician, argued pas-sionately “for the union, because it will throw down the barriers of trade, and give us a market of four million people,” to which his colleagues responded “hear, hear.”

Similarly, in 1866, John McMillan, from New Brunswick’s Legislative Council, spoke to his fellow leg-islators about his vision: “To enter into an alliance that will enable us to have free trade with our neighbours, and this union of the provinces, I maintain, would be commercially the best step we could take.”

We need some of that optimism today, especially as there are multiple opposition points to a flourishing, prosperous country even if opponents don’t characterize it that way.

Bizarrely, 147 years after Confederation, we still face some trade barriers between provinces. But the main impediments to jobs, an improved standard of living and even tax revenues are different than the ones faced by Brown, McMillan and others of their age. Pre-Confederation, provinces imposed tariffs on goods from other provinces; that hampered the general prosperity of all. Today, some provinces injure their own potential by simplistically and reflexively opposing sensible economic opportunities.

Examples abound. New Brunswick’s incoming pre-mier, Brian Gallant, promised to impose “a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing” if he and his colleagues won the recent election. So, New Brunswick will limp by with just $94 million in resource revenues (from mining and for-estry) this year and for the foreseeable future.

In a nearby contrast, Newfoundland and Labrador have followed the optimism of Brown and McMillan by developing its energy sector. This year, that province will garner an estimated $2.5 billion in resource revenues, including mining taxes and royalties. Success matters, even and especially to the tax coffers of governments.

Similar positions can be found among native politi-cians. A group of First Nations leaders from Vancouver Island and Washington State just signed their own agreement to “prohibit” an expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. On the other side of the Rockies, Fort McKay First Nation, in northern Alberta near the oil sands, has expanded local prosperity. They’ve capitalized on oil with their own businesses including service compa-nies, heavy equipment operations, environmental ser-vices and an industrial park.

Opposition to development stretches beyond energy. Potential mines and ski resorts now take decades to bring online, if allowed at all.

And then there are the policy decisions that make life difficult for the manufacturing sector in Ontario. Ontario’s provincial government was correct to bring down busi-ness taxes over the past decade to attract new invest-ment. (That tack also imitates the advice of Confederation-era politicians: Keep taxes low and out-manoeuver the United States.) But then the province nullified a poten-tial Ontario advantage with an ill-advised energy policy. That has increased electricity rates in a manner that makes Ontario unattractive for investment. It translates into less job-creation, less income growth, fewer opportu-nities, migration out of the province, and a squeeze on provincial revenues.

Unlike Confederation-era debates, there are obvi-ously many more voices in the today’s public square. Most have legitimate concerns that range from environ-mental protection to respect for a treaty (or signing one where absent). Still, while it always makes sense to look at economic decisions in a broad context, a flourishing human society matters and that includes the ability to find a job and make a living.

Reflexive opposition to economic development - I recently asked one prominent activist on Twitter to name one pipeline she supported and received no answer - is not realistic. Nor is it helpful to human flourishing. The spin-offs from a flourishing economy include everything from increased personal and family choices and charita-ble donations to tax revenues for social programs, schools, hospitals and public parks. The possibilities for personal and community benefits are of course, limit-less.

Confederation was a grand idea for many reasons, but the Fathers of Confederation had it right when they saw the potential for widespread and increased prosper-ity. Their bias is still worth an imitation today.

Pros and cons for development

Trudeau willing to listen

To the Editor:

As world leaders gathered at the recent United Nations Climate Summit, one absence was espe-cially galling: Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Despite being in New York when the summit was held, Stephen Harper was one the very few world leaders invited who refused to attend. It underscored how little environmental stew-ardship factors into his govern-ment’s agenda.

His Conservative government has failed to advance strong envi-ronmental policy—including transparent oversight, tougher penalties and a price on carbon pollution—and this inaction has had serious consequences for our environment, our international reputation and our economy.

Our greenhouse gas emissions are growing, not slowing. Canada

will miss its agreed-to 2020 emis-sion reduction targets. Canada has earned an unfortunate inter-national reputation for inaction and obstruction on climate change.

It’s all par for the course under Mr. Harper, who manages to go to the Arctic every summer with-out ever uttering the phrase “cli-mate change”—despite that being where its effects are most abun-dantly clear. Since 2008, his gov-ernment has been promising reg-ulations for industrial emis-sions—and we’re still waiting. Even American President Barrack Obama has said that Canada could be doing more, and that his concern impacts the decision on the Keystone XL pipeline.

Climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. We need determined leadership to make progress, but that can’t happen if our Prime

Minister can’t even be bothered to show up.

As well, if Canada does not demonstrate to the world that we as a country are serious about GHG emissions, we will find it harder and harder to export our resources to global markets. That is why Liberals are committed to responsible resource develop-ment, while promoting clean energy and reducing carbon emis-sions.

As Prime Minister, Mr. Harper continues to get the big things wrong. After nearly a decade in power he has failed to take any meaningful action on Canada’s GHG emissions. His legacy will leave our children with an envi-ronment that is ever more threat-ened.

John McKay, MP Liberal Party of Canada

Environment Critic

Harper’s refusal to attend global climate summit unacceptable

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection launched two new edu-cational modules for teachers to help address the growing issue of cyberbullying among teens. Through its role operating Cybertip.ca, Canada’s tipline for reporting the online sexual exploitation of children, the Canadian Centre has seen a large increase in reports from youth as young as 12 years old with regard to sexual images/videos being created and dis-tributed via the Internet and/or electronic devic-es, often as a form of bullying.

“Cyberbullying is a complex issue facing young people and we recognize that much of the harm involves sexu-ality and technology in combination with the onslaught of bullying behavior among peers,” says Lianna McDonald, Executive Director at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. “It is critical that youth are provided with educa-tional resources and support that enables them to navigate the complexities of personal relationships, deal with harmful cyberbullying behaviour, and seek the help they need in times of crisis.”

Cyberbullying is hav-

ing a devastating impact on the lives of youth in Canada. In fact, recent reports show at least 37 per cent of students admit that someone has said or done something cruel to them online. In recent years, several high pro-file cases involving young people taking their own lives or self-harming have prompted a call to action.

“As a mom of teenag-ers, I worry about how young people today are coping with the growing problem of cyberbully-ing. It is comforting to know that teachers across Canada will have access to these new resources to help them in their efforts to create safer environments for our children,” says Mrs. Laureen Harper.

The modules are designed for Grades 7/8 and Grades 9/10. The Grades 7/8 educational unit focuses on reduc-ing the incidence of ado-lescent sexual exploita-tion and the resulting tragedies involving Canadian youth. The Grades 9/10 module also addresses the grow-ing concern of sexual violence among youth in dating relationships and within peer groups, as well as elevated risk of sexual exploitation whether online or by

adults/older youth. Student activity books (What’s the Deal and It is a BIG Deal) were also created to complement the modules in an effort to engage youth and develop their critical thinking skills on the issue. As a part of today’s announcement, the Canadian Centre will be offering 100,000 complimentary copies of these activity books to middle and high schools across the coun-try, as well as making the new modules avail-able.

“These new modules give me hope for the future. Children will have access to impor-tant information that can help them in their adolescent years,” says Leah Parsons, mother of Rehtaeh Parsons, a victim of cyberbullying, who died in April 2013. “I strongly believe that some children are becoming desensitized and losing their sense of empathy due to the readily available graph-ic images seen through social media. Providing educational materials within the schools to address sexualized vio-lence and cyber-bully-ing is a cornerstone for change and a very nec-essary one. It will save the lives of children – it could have saved my

daughter’s life.”“My daughter’s life

ended because of sexual exploitation and exces-sive cyberbullying which caused the ongo-ing mental anguish she endured until her death. I am so grateful to see resources available such as these ones, to educate our youth on critical issues which may affect their daily lives,” says Carol Todd, whose daughter Amanda died in October, 2012. “We owe it to all of our children to pro-vide them with the proper tools to face the complexities of the world they are growing up in. The world has changed and we must change what we teach our kids and how we do it. This is a great start to making that differ-ence.”

The development of the new modules was made possible in large part due to the gener-ous gift of $100,000 from the Government of Canada, to mark the birth of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the first child of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

More information about the modules can be found at www.pro-tectchildren.ca.

Stage Fright brings some spooky magicBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

October is the spookiest month of the year, and what better way to ring it in with a bit of spooky magic to start the whole thing off. The Yorkton Lions Club is hosting Stage Fright, a magic and illusion spectac-ular for the entire family.

“It’s 90 minutes of icky, yucky, spooky, creepy, crawly magic that’s just perfect for the Halloween month of Shocktober. We have typical magic illusions done up with a bizarre and macabre twist,” says magi-cian John Kaplan.

The show is appropriate for any age, Kaplan says, whether it’s small kids or senior citizens. The family audience is something which Kaplan prefers, because he says everyone is on the same level.

“When an adult experi-ences a sense of wonder that they haven’t seen since they were a child, by seeing something impossible hap-pen on stage, that puts

everyone on the same level, and that’s the kind of emo-tion that most adults have lost over the years, the abil-ity to have that sense of wonder. For kids, it’s an almost every day occasion as they’re growing up, learning new things all the time.”

Stage Fright was origi-nally a show that stayed close to Vancouver, where Kaplin is based. He decided to open it further out, and it has taken off from there, with the tour spanning four provinces over the month of October.

Kaplan has been per-forming for 35 years, though he says that he knew he wanted to do magic from when he was nine and saw a magic show. His focus for that time has been on doing fundraising projects for dif-ferent groups. He says that as a result of the thousands of shows over the years, hundreds of thousands has been raised for schools, ser-vice clubs, community orga-nizations and other groups.

While he has worked

with Lions clubs across the country many times before, Kaplan says it’s the first time he’s worked with the Yorkton Lions. He’s impressed by the club and how they’ve put the show together.

“I must say, they’re very well organized, they’ve done a bang up job of getting the word out and getting corpo-rate backing behind this whole thing. As you know, any money raised by the Lions goes back into the community, so it’s certainly a worthwhile event to sup-port. Not only are you bringing your family out to a fun thing that will create lots of family memories, but also you’re supporting a worthwhile organization in the community.”

There will be two shows, both at the Sacred Heart Theatre, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on October 5. Tickets are available at Hearns Pharmacy, Wagners Flooring or from any Lions member.

JUMPSTART GAMES – Yorkton was one of three cities in Canada to host the JumpStart Games, giving 125 kids in the area a day of fun and activity, with different sports, games and excitement to experience over the day. The event was won by the local Canadian Tire through Castrol, with the other events being hosted in Montreal and Toronto. “It’s all part of our purpose to get kids out and play and do physical activity” says David Dungey, owner of Canadian Tire in Yorkton.

Saluting SurvivorsEncouraging AwarenessRemembering Loved Ones

During National Breast CancerAwareness Month, we standtogether in our support for acure and our support for thewomen who are faced with thedisease. By encouraging breastcancer research and raisingawareness of the importance ofearly detection, we can all helpsave lives.

It is estimated that nearly 200,000 womenwill be diagnosed with breast cancer thisyear, and that more than 40,000 of thesewomen will die. Breast cancer is a threatto women of all ages, races and walks oflife. Even men are at risk for breast cancer,with approximately 1,700 men diagnosedeach year. These numbers remind us whyit is so important to know the signs,symptoms and risk factors of breastcancer. Early detection of breast cancer isthe best weapon against the disease,which means breast self-exams should beperformed regularly, with clinical breastexams every one to three years. By theage of 40, women should begin gettingmammograms every one to two years. Inaddition, healthy lifestyle habits likephysical activity, not smoking, minimizingalcohol intake and consuming plenty offresh fruits and vegetables can helpwomen reduce their risk factors.

A personal message from the sports writer

A message from our high school principals

Mike Haczkewicz, Principal

Yorkton Regional High School

A Family of Raiders in the Land Of Orange...A Family of Raiders in the Land Of Orange...

Today you seem to read about all the things that happens in sports that is wrong. From Drug scan-dals to the abuse of power that some athletes seem to feel is their right. That is why high school ath-letics is so refreshing to watch and enjoy. It is still about the God given talents mixed with hard work and determination of our young athletes. It seems more of our young athletes still play for the pure enjoyment of sport. They understand that these are just games, today as their playing the most important thing in the world but when it’s over it is just that over. They all live to battle another day and the key is the friendships they build. We hope that as a result of their experience with Saints Athletics, our students will grow in athletic abilities as well as in attitude. As we look forward to another season of Saints Athletics, we need to thank the people that make this all possible: our parents, our student athletes, our coaches, our School and, our Board of Education. In Yorkton and in Christ the teacher School Div. By no small chance that all our stu-dent-athletes, coaches, have these opportunities. Thank-you to you all, because it is you that make our programs great. Go Saints!

Trent Senger, Principal Sacred Heart High School

Faith, Knowledge, UnityFaith, Knowledge, Unity – Go Saints Go! – Go Saints Go!

Fall is a special time of year for high school sports across Saskatchewan. It is a time defined by the start of a school year, a time where new friendships are forged and a fresh start is given to each and every student. For the many sports teams at the Yorkton Regional High School and Sacred Heart, it is a time where hope springs eternal, where grueling tryouts are the beginning of a poten-tial run at Provincials and memories (and friendships) that will last a life-time.

As a former student of the Yorkton Regional High School it is an honour to bring you another year of The News Review Fall Sports Special, a chance to showcase the true home-town heroes of Yorkton sport. Each athlete you see in the following pages gives their all in representing Yorkton on the football field, the vol-leyball court, the pitch, the golf course, or cheering their team on as a member of the cheerleading pro-grams. It is important to recognize that dedication in representing the city across the province, a reputation

that both the Saints and the Raiders take seriously, taking home handfuls of provincial and league titles each school year. Often we forget how important high school sports can be within the community and how special the sup-port of a city is to a local team or school. Attendances are often low at YRHS/SHHS games for a product that is often on par with any com-munity event. Some of my favorite high school memories include play-ing the Saints in front of a packed house at the Regional. I suggest that

you make time for the Saints and the Raiders this fall just like you make time for the Terriers or any other local event, you will not be disappointed. I will end by saying good luck to the teams. I will be watching your triumphs and finding the positives in your defeats this year. Hopefully I can do my part in making sure that your high school memories are cap-tured forever within these pages.

– Chase Ruttig,News Review Sports Writer

It is with great pride as the Principal of Yorkton Re-gional High School that I announce all of our fall sports are completely under way for the 2014-15 school year. All of our teams are practicing and in pursuit of the Great Pump-kin (our striving for success emblem).

Football season begins before school starts. The dedi-cated team members begin their practicing in August. Our school has both a junior and senior football team. The junior team competes in the 12-man Regina Minor Foot-ball League. Their current season record is 3 wins and 4 losses, with a regular season home game left to play on Sunday, October 5. Game time is 1:00pm at Kinsmen Cen-tury Field.

The Senior Raiders compete in the Moose Jaw 12-man league. The senior team is undefeated at this point. The Raider Gridders are preparing for our 4th Annual Friday Night Lights game on Friday, October 3rd versus Moose Jaw’s Peacock school (also undefeated). Kick-off is at 7:00pm at Kinsmen Century Field and promises to be a great event. Come cheer on the Gridders! Play by play will be announced. The Raider Cheer Team will be perform-ing at the fi eld along with the YRHS band. Food conces-sions will be available and are sponsored by SADD and the Cheer team.

The YRHS Cheer Team is fundraising for competition in Hawaii this spring. Their competition season starts in February but they are sponsoring a Trade Show for busi-nesses in November and selling a calendar along with the Raider Football team for 2015.

Cross-Country has a team of 20 runners competing at various distances of 3km to 6km depending on gender and age. They have competed at the Run for Peace, Regina, Deer Park and Saltcoats. The team is gearing up for Pro-vincials which happen this weekend in Kamsack. Many of our runners have medalled at the various meets this year.

Volleyball is still a very popular sport in the Land of

Orange. The Senior Ladies have already competed in3 tournaments with playoff fi nishes in all 3. Our seniorhome tournament is this Friday, October 3rd and Satur-day, October 4th; catch some outstanding volleyball beforeyou head out to the football game Friday night! The La-dies have 4 more tournaments (including their own) beforethey compete in Regionals with hopes of advancing to Pro-vincials. In addition to the Lady Senior team YRHS has alady Junior and Grade 9 team representing the school. Thejunior team was recently undefeated in the Churchbridgetournament!

The Senior and Junior Raider men volleyball teams are just getting their season amped up and will be participat-ing in upcoming tournaments. The Senior Raiders hometournament is November 7 and 8.

Raider Soccer is also going strong with both a boys and girls team. The boys claimed the Championship at theSwift Current under the guidance of Coach DeLong. Mr.DeLong also led the boys’ team to championship at theYRHS/SHHS co-hosted home tournament. They competeagain at Regionals the weekend of October 17 and 18 withhopes of advancing to Provincial Competition.

The Family of Raiders would like to thank all of the coaches that volunteer their time with our students. Theircontributions are valuable to our students as athletes andcitizens. Thank you to the News Review for your coverageof our school sports. Students and community memberslove to see their accomplishments in print. Special thanksas well to all of the referees and offi cials of the varioussports, without your efforts we wouldn’t be able to play anyof the games.

Thank you to parents and guardians for allowing your children to be Raiders, for transporting and cheering themand allowing the time commitment needed to be part of theRaider Family.

Saints Sr. Volleyball 2014 ABOUT THE SR SAINTS – The Saints Senior Boys Volleyball team consists of grade 12 students Riley K., Sam L., Colson W. and Mackenzie B. In grade 11 we have Kade J., Cody D., Nicholas K., Bryan B., Jonah S. and Jake J. In grade 10 there is Austin T., Zachary G.M., Kaeden H., Noah C. and Colbie S. Assistant coaches include Jaedon Pellatt and Jared Buzinski and head coach is Curtis Moen. The team is off to a great start. The fi rst game action was our home tournament on September 12-13 where the team took the bronze medal. On September 19-20 the team travelled to the Cougar High School Classic Volleyball Tournament which is hosted by the U of R men’s volleyball team. Twenty teams were in attendance broken up into four pools of fi ve teams each. Sacred Heart placed 2nd in their pool play beating out Vanier-Moose Jaw, Estevan and Riffel-Regina. In the playoffs the Saints placed 7th overall. The team has many upcoming tournaments which consist of: Hepburn, Winston Knoll-Regina, Melville, Esterhazy, YRHS and then playoffs to follow. “The team is showing lots of potential so far” says coach Curtis Moen. “We have big tall players like Riley K., Sam L. and Nicholas K. who at the net have dominated either at hitting or blocking. Grade 11 Bryan B., is out for the season after breaking his elbow at football earlier this year and will be missed by the team. Setters Kade J. and Cody D. have been working hard to set up plays at the net. Rookies Kaeden H. and Zachary G.M. have been working extremely hard in practice and have made a lot of progress so far. I would like to thank our team sponsors: Smith Steel, Ram Industries, Leon’s Manufacturing and Premier Cabinets for supporting our team uni-forms. It is greatly appreciated!”

By CHASE RUTTIG

Yorkton’s football rep-utation has always been built on hard working players and hard work-ing teams that have been hanging with the biggest schools in the province ever since the Yorkton Regional High School joined the ranks of the Regina Intercollegiate Football League before recently moving to the Moose Jaw league where the Raider Gridders have featured in two city championships in their two seasons in the league. However since the introduction of Atom, Peewee and Bantam programs under the Yorkton Minor Football umbrella the quality of football in Yorkton has increased and so has the number of players who will be playing at the next level in either the CIS on scholarships or at the Canadian Junior Football League level looking to make the jump to the CFL while representing the city. This CIS/CJFL season will feature more Yorkton products as ever before as Layne Hull (Okanagan Sun, CJFL), Daniel Benner (Calgary Colts, CJFL), Paul Toth (Regina Thunder, CJFL), Michael Kozushka (University of Alberta, CIS), Grey McKen (University of Regina, CIS), Eddie Schramm (University of Regina, CIS) and Dalton Fichtner (University of Regina, CIS) will all be playing at the next level following successful careers with the YRHS Raiders and Yorkton Minor Football. Numbers that prove the program that was built over the past decade is producing more success

year by year, something that is also shown with the YRHS’ two straight trips to their league championship game. Some players like Hull, Benner and Toth are veterans at the next level now with multiple seasons in the CJFL under their belt while Fichtner is now a sec-ond year player with the University of Regina after winning Player of the Year honours in the MJHSFL in his senior year with the Raiders while the likes of Kozushka, McKen and Schramm are all new faces at the CIS level from the Raiders 2013 squad who are hoping to make an impact in the college game after suc-cessful years within the Yorkton program. Yorkton Minor Football President and head coach of the YRHS Raiders Roby Sharpe mentioned that now thanks to the youth pro-gram getting kids in the game at the same time hockey, baseball, or soc-cer programs would get children into the game has helped put Yorkton on the map with more and more collegiate/CJFL players coming from the city as the YMF program continues to develop. “There have been players coming out of Yorkton and playing in either the CJFL or the CIS for years now because there have been plenty of amazing foot-ball players to come out of the city except now there are more and more players year after year helping put Yorkton on the Canadian football map,” said Sharpe. “When you look at the list of teams players from Yorkton are play-ing for this season it is all over Western Canada and we have players

who are playing key roles on those teams in some of those places so it makes me feel proud that we have Yorkton players in nearly every place to play in the West.” Talking about how beneficial the YMF pro-gram has been to build-ing the game in Yorkton, Sharpe mentioned that for many years the ear-liest football players would get to play the game in the city was either in Grade 8 or Grade 9 as a member of either the Jr. Raiders (12 man) or Jr. Saints (9 man) high school pro-grams. Now there are three levels of 12 man football to play in Yorkton, giving kids the same advantages and opportunities to play that larger centres have had for years. “Going from getting players playing football for the first time when they are basically in high school to having them playing the game from a younger age at a high level is important because football is a game that involves a lot of fundamentals and understanding of differ-ent concepts,” men-tioned Sharpe. “Now when players get to the high school level they know 12 man football and where to be on the football field, how to tackle correctly as well as safely and also know how to work hard in practice as part of a team which is some-thing that not only helps players succeed but also to enjoy the game more because they are in a position to do well early on.” New quarterback Nick Payne is an example that Roby Sharpe brings up when talking about how the YMF program has changed the way

players can develop in Yorkton with the ability to play from a younger age to hone their skills and fundamentals. “When you look at Nick Payne he is a play-er who instead of having to learn quarterback right at the Bantam level with a Jr. team was able to play 12 man football at quarterback for extra seasons at the Peewee level as well as in Bantam which has helped his development because he is playing a position that he has learned for extra years he may not have been able to in the past which is why the program is so great.” YRHS offensive coor-dinator and head coach of the Atom Gridders of the YMF Jason Boyda mentions that the minor program has played a huge role in the recent success of the YRHS Raiders program with players who are the first products of early devel-opment becoming key players as of late. Giving

the high school program players that are more ready to play which has allowed them to avoid having to rebuild. “It is a saying that we have now with the YMF program developing such talented kids in that we don’t rebuild, we reload on talented players because these players now what it takes to win and know how to play the game thanks to playing Peewee, Bantam 12 man in the Regina league which does so much good for development,” mentioned Boyda. “The Regina league is so good for kids who want to play minor football and the fact that Yorkton has teams in every level in the league is some-thing that we feel is a great opportunity for kids to play a game that they enjoy to play at the same level as any city in the province even if they don’t live in Regina or Saskatoon.” When talking about the number of players

that are playing at the next level through either the YRHS or the YMF program, Boyda takes great pride in seeing players that he men-tioned have put in the work to get where they are today that some may not realize from an out-side glance. “Anytime you see somebody you watched put in the work to achieve their goal or dream and get an oppor-tunity to either earn an education or a chance to keep playing the game they love at the next level is special and is apart of why I love coaching so much,” said Boyda. “These players all worked hard in the classroom, the weight room, at practice, after practice and beyond to get where they are so I am incredibly happy to see so many of them continuing to play the game that they love and continue with their dreams of playing foot-ball after high school.”

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

There are many differ-ent kind of people in this world, and that is what makes the world go around. The other night a fellow Hazel Dellian had a celebration of sorts, and fireworks was part of the festivities. Our hors-es were busy at the water trough which is right next to the chicken coop. They had just finished drinking when a cascad-ing star exploded right over their heads with a big BOOM! The horses spooked and went from 0 to 100 in a split second as they galloped around the barn and into the bush! They were hiding out for two days before they cau-tiously came back for more water.

The next morning we found two dead young chickens in the chicken coop. Coincidence? Perhaps. I wasn’t there when the chickens died, so I can’t say that the

fireworks exploding over the chicken coop was to blame or not. It is my humble opinion that one should always be consid-erate of livestock when using fireworks!

I am little out of com-mission these days, so I walk around looking for something that can be fixed with duct tape, while my wife labours away at the house, prim-ing and painting the façade. She’s doing a great job and it looks fantastic! Of course our dog had to get in on the painting action. She watched my wife’s every brush stroke and roller action. When my wife dropped the roller into the paint thinner, Lady thought that this was her cue to assist. She grabbed the roller and virtually demolished it! “Mom had obviously tried to kill it by rolling it back and forth on the wall, but it’s still there so I’ll kill it for her,” Lady thought, as she chewed it beyond recog-nition with paint drip-ping off her muzzle! That

earned her a time out. From then on she had to watch the outside paint-ing from inside the house.

I thought about giving my wife a few pointers with regards to the house painting, but felt it would be safer to leave it alone. However, that brought up a word that can have many meanings, and to a Norwegian that had to learn the English lan-guage it could be confus-ing. There are three lan-guage descriptions, a natural language is the one you are born into, in my case Norwegian, it is learned first by assimila-tion and then expanded through schooling. A learned language can be achieved by immersion and schooling, or as in my case, schooling and then arriving in Canada, or just schooling. Body language is an interna-tional language that includes body positions, use of arms and hands, fingers, especially middle fingers, eyes, eyebrows and various facial expres-sions including contor-

tions. It can also include body noises like whis-tling, snorts, burps and emission of forced flatu-lence. Using body lan-guage one can pick and choose any and all of the aforementioned together in any kind of combina-tion.

Anyway, back to the word. The word in ques-tion is coach. It could be a noun, a verb and even an adverb, and have dif-ferent meanings, in my case instructing. For example: The coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders asked the team to take their seats in their special green and white coach for the drive to the airplane where they entered the coach class for their flight to Edmonton. That could confuse anybody a bit unfamiliar with the English language. It gets better: A professor of music was giving private one on one lessons to musical actors, and the newspaper reported that the coach sat on the back of the horse drawn coach (wonder what he looked

like) and instructed the banjo player appearing in a Clint Eastwood Western. I would have used the term teacher myself, but who am I to argue?

With respect to coach-es, the following is some trivia gleaned from the internet:

Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota: “He’s a guy who gets up at six o’clock in the morning regardless of what time it is.”

Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson hooking up again with promoter Don King: “Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton.”

Pat Williams, Orlando Magic general manager, on his team’s 7-27 record: “We can’t win at home. We can’t win on the road... As general man-ager, I just can’t figure out where else to play.” (1992)

Darrell Royal, Texas

football coach, asked if the abnormal number of Longhorn injuries that season resulted from poor physical condition-ing: “One player was lost because he broke his nose. How do you go about getting a nose in condition for football?” (1966)

Mike McCormack, coach of the hapless Baltimore Colts after the team’s co-captain, offen-sive guard Robert Pratt, pulled a hamstring run-ning onto the field for the coin toss against St. Louis: “I’m going to send the injured reserve play-ers out for the toss next time.” (1981)

Steve Spurrier, Florida football coach, telling Gator fans that a fire at Auburn’s football dorm had destroyed 20 books: “But the real tragedy was that 15 hadn’t been col-ored yet.” (1991)

Jim Finks, New Orleans Saints G.M., when asked after a loss what he thought of the refs: “I’m not allowed to comment on lousy offici-ating.” (1986)

The farmer is trained, moves on and settles in

Children, their fami-lies and project partners celebrated a major mile-stone for the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan (CHS) with a ground-breaking ceremony at the construction site.

“Our government is fulfilling our promise to build a state-of-the-art maternal and children’s hospital,” Premier Brad Wall said. “This place of hope and healing will sup-port high quality health care for our province’s children and families. This is truly an historic day as we celebrate a hos-pital made in Saskatchewan, for Saskatchewan.”

With the support of the government’s $235.5 mil-lion investment, the facil-ity design is now finalized marks the start of the hospital’s construction phase. The initial con-struction phase includes piling and foundation work – approximately 300 concrete piles will be installed to support the new structure.

Construction of the main building will begin in early 2015, with the hospital scheduled for completion in 2017. The 176-bed facility will be located next to the Royal University Hospital on the University of Saskatchewan campus in

Saskatoon.“Today is a day so

many have been working toward,” Saskatoon Regional Health Authority Chair Jim Rhode said. “Planning and designing a hospital takes the pas-sion, dedication and efforts of hundreds of staff, physicians, patients and families. From our earliest days working with government, this has been a journey well worth taking. A journey to outline just what ser-vices will be in the new hospital, the funding needed and hiring the right people to help us design a state-of-the-art facility. We met session

after session with patients, family, staff and physicians to work through even the most basic design details. Today, we thank all those who have given so much and who continue to work tirelessly to prepare for Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan.”

“Today we celebrate and give tribute to every person that has supported the dream of building a children’s hospital for Saskatchewan families,” Children’s Hospital Foundation o f Saskatchewan President and CEO Brynn Boback-Lane said. “We are grate-ful that our province is

abundant with visionary, generous and dedicated people, who through their collaboration and finan-cial contributions have given life to this vision.

A significant amount of design input came from patients, families, staff and physicians during the planning phase – making the hospital a true reflec-

tion of the province and Saskatchewan people.

In addition to medical services for children and pregnant women, the maternal and children’s hospital will include a pediatric and adult emer-gency department for both Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan and Royal University Hospital.

Hospital construction is underway

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has pro-claimed September 28 to October 4, 2014, as Animal Health Week in Saskatchewan to acknowledge the exem-plary job producers do in caring for their livestock.

“Saskatchewan pro-ducers are focused on providing the best sci-ence-based on-farm ani-mal health and welfare, with some of the most responsible standards in the world,” Stewart said. “This week is an opportu-nity to ensure that every-one knows of the safe and healthy food

Saskatchewan livestock producers are raising.”

Animal Health Week is also a time to remind producers about the importance of an effec-tive animal health regime.

“The strong relation-ship between farmers and ranchers and veteri-narians in Saskatchewan is an advantage to the producer and the indus-try, allowing for a cus-tomized animal health regime that addresses the needs of animals based on location and herd history,” S a s k a t c h e w a n

Veterinary Medical Association President Andrew Acton said.

Home improvement tips learned the hard way

Remodeling insurance can protect homeowners

‘Tis the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting home supply retailers to buy everything from paint to plywood. There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own, including the opportunity to test your mettle at projects big and small.

Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the follow-ing are a handful of lessons first-timers can heed before beginning their maiden voyages into the world of DIY home improvements.

* Measure twice, cut once. Perhaps this is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it. Whether you’re anxious to get started or simply because you still cannot convert metric to standard for-mula, you must take the time to measure twice before cutting. Learning that you’re a hair too short later will be prove frus-trating and time-consuming and often necessitates a last-

minute run to the store for more materials. Always mea-sure multiple times before mak-ing cuts.

* Enlist a helper. Having a partner helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person can assist you with heavy lift-ing or moving things or by hold-ing the ladder or simply pass-ing tools your way. He or she also can manage work while you make another run to the home center for more supplies. Having a helper around also provides companionship during tedious projects.

* Lighten the load. You run the risk of injury, both to your-self and your belongings, if you attempt to move heavy items on your own. When moving heavy items, take steps to lighten your load. For example, empty or remove drawers from desks and dressers before moving them. Rely on sliding pads when mov-ing furniture so items can be slid into place instead of lifted. Always ask a buddy to help move especially heavy items.

* Prime before painting.

Painting can be a time-consum-ing task. In an effort to save time, some people will look for

painting shortcuts, and these may include skipping the priming portion of painting. Priming helps to cover exist-ing paint color and prevent bleed-through of stains or darker hues to the next coat of paint. Failure to use a primer could mean having to paint coat after coat, which can become costly and take up a significant amount of time. Always rely on a prim-ing product, or look for a paint that blends a primer within to achieve better cov-erage. And while you are ensuring a proper paint job, remember to use painter’s tape or an edging product to help keep paint off of mold-ings and trim.

* Use the right tools. The right tools make work safer and easier. Think about how

much faster you can cut through a tree trunk with a chainsaw rather than a handsaw. Improvising or using the wrong tools for the job can cost you time and increase your risk of injury.

* Turn electricity off at the

panel box. Be especially cau-tious when working with elec-tricity, turning off the current. This means shutting down the power on the breaker box. A live wire can provide a minor shock or lead to serious injury. Take the extra time to ensure the power is off before working with any exposed wiring.

* Expect the unexpected. Although many renovation proj-ects go off without a hitch, you never know what you might uncover when you embark on repairs or remodels. Homeowners have come across all sorts of hidden problems when doing seemingly minor repairs. Removal of drywall may uncover insect damage in beams or indications of water infiltration. Some people take down old paneling, only to dis-cover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath. One repair project can run into another when home improve-ments are being made. Always leave breathing room in your budget and schedule extra time for unforeseen tasks as well. SH142937

Many steps are involved in a success-ful home remodeling project. A common mistake made by homeowners is failing to consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners advises review-ing your home insurance policy before any significant work is done on your home. The right amount of coverage will protect your assets both during construc-tion and afterward when your home is worth more.

According to the independent con-sumer insurance Web site Insure.com, one in four remodeling projects will increase the value of a home by more than 25 percent, so there’s a good chance you will need to increase your coverage to

compensate for renovations done on the home. Many insurance companies require you to insure your home for at least 80 percent of its replacement value. If you have added an extension or installed an inground pool, you may have raised the value of your property enough to neces-sitate an insurance policy change.

Begin by talking with your insurance company and explain the scope of the planned renovations. Inquire whether you will need to update or amend your current insurance policy to protect your-self financially during the renovation. This is particularly important for those who will be doing the work themselves or asking a friend or family member for help. While many contractors have busi-ness and general liability insurance to

protect themselves if a worker is injured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home. Your insurance company may have other types of insurance to protect you further if you are planning a very large project. Failure to ask about coverage before starting the renovations puts you at risk.

If you will be using contractors and subcontractors, be sure that they are insured and bonded. Should they damage your home or be injured during the reno-vation, their insurance will cover any resulting expenses. However, if they are not insured or bonded, you may be held liable through your own insurance policy or you may have to pay out of pocket.

Keep all receipts and document the

progress of the renovation. You may need this information to present to your insur-ance carrier after the renovation is com-plete. This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage.

Certain improvements may make you eligible for discounts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appli-ances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums.

Homeowners may think they have covered all of their bases when preparing for a home renovation project. However, it also is essential to consider insurance needs before you begin work and then again when the project has been com-pleted and the value of the home has increased. FH149549

Double-checking measurements is one way to avoid potentially costly home improvement project mis-takes.
