CT Scanner gets major provincial supportBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

It has been ten years since CT Scans were introduced to the Sunrise Health region. Over 53,000 scans later and the machine will soon reach the end of its service life, so it is time for a replacement.

The Government of Saskatchewan is pitch-ing in $600,000 towards the project, which has an estimated total cost of $1.2 million.

The need for a replacement scanner is urgent, for a simple reason, parts availabil-

ity explains Ross Fisher, executive direc-tor of the Health Foundation. The cur-rent CT Scanner is ten years old, and as a result the manufactur-er has discontinued the parts needed to main-tain it. There have also been reliability issues with frequent break-downs. That means after this year, the ser-vice life for the scanner is over.

“A CT Scanner is pretty vital, it’s a key piece of diagnostic equipment for a region-al hospital. In today’s world you really can’t

be without one. We had 4,300 patients that used it last year, and we did about 7,500 scans.”

Greg Ottenbreit, Minister for Rural and Remote Health, says that the urgency of the replacement is a big reason why the provin-cial government put their support being buying a new machine. They see the need to maintain diagnostic imaging service as a high priority for the health care in the prov-ince, and as a result want to see the prov-ince’s health regions

maintain their ability to serve patients.

“Diagnostic imaging is a big part of surger-ies, but sometimes it’s an aid in reducing sur-gery wait times... When you look at diagnostic imaging it’s two fold. Sometimes it identifies the issue that needs to be addressed quite quickly, and sometimes it actually alleviates surgery because you find an issue isn’t quite as serious as you may have thought, or it might have taken exploratory surgery and tie up the OR. Sometimes from

patients diagnostic imaging alleviates fear or stress, where they don’t know what’s going on and you get a diag-nosis from a really advanced machine like this multi-slice CT scanner that can iden-tify that it maybe it isn’t an issue.”

The area the scanner serves is another rea-son for the government support, as the scanner will serve everyone within the Sunrise Health Region, Ottenbreit says. Given the amount of use that the old scanner had, it made sense to ensure

CT Scanning continued in the region.

“When we are able to do these scans in a more rural area like Yorkton, we are taking the pressure off our centres in Regina and Saskatoon.”

Having a new machine also means having a better machine. Fisher explains that much like most technology over the past decade, there have been major advances in CT Scanning. The current machine is a 16 slice

BOWLING FOR KIDS – The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area Bowl for Kids Sake took place in Yorkton over the weekend, rais-ing money for mentor-ing programs for the over 200 children that BBBS serves in the area. Domanic Adair-Asmus was one of the bowlers at the event, which raised a total of $28,285. The fundrais-ing will continue on the weekend, with Esterhazy on Sunday and Churchbridge sell-ing bowls of food for their Bowl for Kids Sake. Irma Van de Bon-Nichol, Executive Director of BBBS, thanks the community for their continued sup-port, which allows these programs to continue and make a difference in the lives of area kids. Top fundraisers were Roger Arndt, $2,030.00, Adam Becker, $1,506.00, Cynthia Wolkowski, $1,400.00, Deana Jesmer, $862.00, Brandi Thomas, $800.00 and Alex Myrowich, $750.00.

Government Rela-tions Minister Jim Reiter announced that SaskAlert, the prov-ince’s new emergency public alerting program, has successfully com-pleted its testing phase and is being implement-e d a c r o s s Saskatchewan.

“SaskAlert can pro-vide critical information about emergency situa-tions as they are devel-oping so residents of the affected area will be able to take action to protect themselves,

their families and prop-erty,” Reiter said. “Residents will also be able to receive updates on evolving emergency situations directly from their local television and radio stations, as well as online.”

Alerts may be creat-ed for severe weather-related events, such as tornadoes, plow winds, flooding and blizzards. Other events that may trigger an alert include wildfires, spills of haz-ardous material, train derailments, boil water

and shelter-in-place advisories, significant highway closures and community evacua-tions.

Once an alert has been issued by the SaskAlert program, it will be picked up by provincial media outlets and aired on local radio or television. Alerts can also be viewed on SaskAlert.ca, and The Weather Network web-site and smartphone app.

“Having provincial broadcasters participate

in this program has been incredibly valu-able,” Reiter said. “It substantially widens the reach of the Sask-Alert. Having a wide variety of options avail-

able where residents can receive alerts, whether it is via smart-phone, online, television or radio, we are confi-dent that SaskAlert will help keep families and

communities informed and prepared in case of emergencies.”

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

They may be locals, but they’re not yokels. Lone Tree Road is an eclectic mix of different sounds and styles, with two fiddles, guitar, key-board, mandolin and saxophone. They will round out this season of Stars for Saskatchewan on Sunday, April 26 at 2:00 p.m.

The band has an eclectic sound because it’s a varied group of performers, including JJ Guy and Scott Cornelius, both on fid-dle, mandolin and vocals, Jack Dawes on sax and vocals, Glenna Switzer on keyboards and vocals, Hank Ukrainetz on upright bass, Grant Dutchak on drums and Ken Goodman on guitar, fid-dle and five string banjo.

The group began as a three piece fiddle band about ten years ago, Goodman says, as a result of a fiddle camp in Tuffnell. Guy, Ukrainetz and Goodman were the three founding members, and the name came from discovering Lone Tree Road in Foam Lake, deciding it would be a good name for a band.

The repertoire rang-es from jazz, country to bluegrass, and Goodman says it’s a band that goes where the mem-bers want to take it, with everyone getting a showcase for their indi-vidual talents.

“It’s just a combina-tion of all the members of the band, what they like to do. When I first

set this up, that’s what I banked on, for every-one to contribute a par-ticular kind of thing that they do.”

Dawes says that the unique sound is one of the things that he likes about the group. Saxophone and fiddle isn’t an obvious combi-nation and something Dawes says he has rarely seen before. Their arrangement of Night Train is an exam-ple of something that you don’t see very often.

“We have two fiddles and a saxophone play-ing an old blues tune, which I think is pretty unique.”

The different back-grounds of the different performers is what drive’s the band’s eclec-tic sound, and Goodman says that they are con-stantly learning from each other and trying out different styles.

“In some ways it’s a bit of a different disci-pline, you don’t play jazz like you play fiddle tunes, it’s a different kind of mind set which we all find really inter-esting,” Goodman says.

Dawes says that his background is an exam-ple of how different everyone is, coming from a background with largely jazz and rock background, and admits he had a snobbish atti-tude towards country music before meeting the other players, but by playing together he began to appreciate the genre and have a more open mind about it. Meanwhile, other band members grew up with the strong fiddle tradi-

tion in Saskatchewan, and Dawes says they help everyone appreci-ate their different styles.

The band has a wide range of experience, with Cornelius at the young end, at 16 while the older members have had around 50 years of experience playing. Dawes says that he’s watched Cornelius come up through fiddle con-tests from when he was ten, and the band is impressed by what he can do.

“He’s an accom-

plished young player, whatever you ask him to do he’ll do it... We haven’t given him any-thing yet that he couldn’t do,” Goodman says.

As varied as every-one is, the most impor-tant thing is that when they come together it sounds right, and Dawes says that when the band comes togeth-er it is something rare and special.

“There’s something about playing music that when everything comes together and it

becomes bigger than the sum of its parts. The term musicians use is you’re cookin’... With the five of us on stage, there’s a chemistry that seems to happen.”

Goodman agrees, saying there is a real high when the band really starts to go, something that is picked

up by the people on stage and the people in the crowd as well, lead-ing to the best music they can make.

Lone Tree Road is at the Anne Portnuff Theatre on April 26 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Welcome Home Gifts or ticket-pro.ca.

scanner, but the new one will be a 256 slice scanner.

“The new equipment is faster, it will diag-nose more conditions than we can currently, it will provide better quality images for diag-nosis, it will do things we currently do, which is what you would expect from ten years of improvement in tech-nology,” Fisher says.

Right now the Health Foundation has to come up with the remaining half of the budget, or $600,000. Fisher says that while this is a sig-nificant amount, there

is an indication that the community is behind the project and sees the need for a new scanner.

One of those indica-tions was the Health Foundation Radiothon, which was a big suc-cess. Fisher says it was the second best Radiothon to date, behind the campaign for digital mammogra-phy, raising $84,224,

“That tells me that people will be receptive when we go forward from here to carry out the rest of the fundrais-ing campaign. It doesn’t tell me it will be easy to raise $600,000, but it tells me it will be doable.”

Ottenbreit is confi-dent that the communi-ty will come on board to fund this needed piece of equipment.

“We’re very happy to partner with the health region and the Health Foundation, recognizing that the Health Foundation couldn’t do the extra fundraising without the help of the community. I know per-sonally and profession-ally how good the com-munity and the sur-rounding area are at raising money for things that are of importance, especially when it comes to health care,” Ottenbreit says.

“It’s great to be able

to do an announcement like this so close to home.”

CT Scanner gets support

LONE TREE ROAD will be bringing their eclectic mix of sounds to the stage on Sunday, April 26 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series. The mix of local musicians perform wide a range of classics, from Faded Love to The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the Canadian Railroad Trilogy to Night Train.

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding producers April 30, 2015, is the deadline to enrol in the 2015 AgriStability Program and pay pro-gram fees, without pen-alty.

The AgriStability Program is about pro-viding disaster protec-tion for the farm, should something beyond the producer’s control occur, such as dropping commodity prices or

rising input costs. Each farm’s risk pro-tection, through the AgriStability Program, is unique because the Program uses the farm’s specific financial information to deter-mine coverage and ben-efits. By having cover-age based on the per-formance of the farm, each operation has its own individual risk protection.

To remain enrolled, participants have until April 30, or 30 days

from the date on their Enrolment/Fee Notice, whichever is later, to pay their program fee without penalty. Producers are encour-aged to contact their local Crop Insurance office or the AgriStability Call Centre at 1-866-270-8450 to review the cov-erage offered through the AgriStability Program and the risk protection it can pro-vide for their opera-tion.

I have a degree of sympathy for the people who have to time traffic lights. Your job is to maintain flow, but that flow is affected by numerous variables and traffic patterns, and you’ve got to spend a great deal of time fiddling to get it right. So I can under-stand when the lights are timed in a weird way, it probably makes sense in purely mathematical terms, or it’s the only way to maintain the model. That said, the lights on Broadway are set up in a very strange way.

The issue is the way the advance left is set up. For the majority of the streets, you have potential left turns in both directions so it makes sense that com-ing out of a red light you have both sides do a left turn. Great, on many of the streets, except if you’re at 2nd Ave and Broadway, at which point the setup gets weird. Here it is also a case where both sides of the street stop for red lights, except the lane going east is waiting for nothing. If the westbound lane turns left, they are driving into a park, which means they are probably drunk and should be arrested. It feels like a glitch in the system, a light programmed in the same way as the other lights on the same road, but here the programming makes no sense. Why are people wait-ing here? What purpose does their inability to move serve?

But I have sympathy, because this is the only intersection that wouldn’t have a left turn in both directions, and it’s in the middle. Changing up how the intersection at second works would mess with the timing of the other lights. What you would have is the traffic which is let go at 2nd Ave immediately having to stop again for the lights on 3rd, and then you have the backlog that results because of the way people react to traffic lights as a rule – a long line means it takes a relatively long period of time for the entire line to get moving again. So actually breaking up traf-fic into two segments with an unnecessary stop might actually do well for traffic flow, as annoying as it is to drivers.

My sympathy for whoever is timing that light is dimmed when I drive through the rest of the city, however. The lights on Smith Street don’t seem to be interested in traffic flow at all, plus they always seem to make you stop just long enough to make you start to question if there isn’t a problem somewhere. Then you have the intersection at Hamilton Road and Highway 9, which will occasionally get confused and just not let people through, as I once discovered when it decided that nobody needed to travel east one day and spent at least 15 minutes only allowing left turns but no through traffic – I don’t know how long it took overall, because at a certain point I just turned left to end the pain.

The timing, programming and implementation of traffic lights is not an easy process, I can admit that readily, I’m sure that if I programmed the system people would be irritated, there would be long waits at lights, traffic flow would be compromised and the whole thing would be a minor disaster. Unfortunately, having said that, I’m not sure that it would be so dif-ferent from the way the lights are set up today, as can be evidenced by the fact that this column exists. The lights aren’t all bad, the prevalence of advance left turns is something to be emulated, but the program-ming is still far from perfect.

We hold this truth to be self-evident: government must provide equal treatment for all beers.

As with most self-evident truths, some context may be helpful. First, this is not to suggest an equivalence between human equality and beer equality – the first is an absolute necessity and the other is merely a matter of common sense. Second, this is not to suggest that all beer tastes equally good, but rather that all beer must be equal before the law regardless of taste.

With all of that said, the foundational point remains: government must provide equal treatment for all beers. Unfortunately, Saskat chewan fails to uphold beer equality. The result is tragic (or at least distasteful): warm beer.

How many of us have witnessed this (minor) injustice and simply kept walking? In government liquor stores and private venders, only premium-priced beers such as Coors Banquet and Moosehead are deemed worthy of chilling, while the blue collar masses of Pilsner and Budweiser are left languish-ing in oppressive room temperatures. Off-sales have desegregated fridges with all manner of beers on ice, but the government forces them to jack up the price.

Let’s leave aside for a moment the affront this represents to the self-evident truth of beer equality. How can the government give Corona a place among the privileged in the fridges of public liquor stores while Saskatchewan’s own standout Great Western Pilsner is barred from coming into the cold? Will any Saskatchewan leader stand up and defend this (somewhat) grave injustice? To do so would surely provoke public outrage (or amused annoyance).

How is it possible, that in 2015, there are still places in Saskatchewan where some beer is not wel-comed to a nice spot in the cooler?

Is it a safety issue? While coolness is certainly associated with the enjoyment of beer, it would be hard to find scientific evidence drawing a link between beer temperature and health outcomes.

Is it a taxation issue? If there is one thing with which government can be trusted, it is the time proven ability to collect taxes regardless of extrane-ous factors such as temperature.

Now, the Saskatche wan government has taken some important steps to improve liquor retailing. Off-sale permits are no longer restricted to hotels and brew pubs. There are a few private stores. It’s possible to have a glass of wine at a movie. And golf-ers will be happy that the government no longer imposes a limit of one beverage cart per nine holes.

However, too much of the conversation about alcohol policy still revolves around carefully balanc-ing the interests of industry players. Consumers are too often relegated to second place. This warm-beer tyranny isn’t enshrined in legislation or even regu-lation, it’s merely a policy and it could be changed with a mere nod from the government.

Please, for the love of competition and cold beer, let’s have beer equality.

An aging population is stunting entrepreneurism in Canada, finds a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“A great deal has been written about the positive link between entrepreneurship and economic growth. What’s being ignored, however, is the increasing evidence of a relationship between entrepreneurship and age,” said Jason Clemens, co-author of Entre-preneurship, Demo graphics and Capital Gains Tax Reform, and Fraser Institute vice president.

The study calculates that between 2004 and 2012, the rate of business start-ups in Canada declined by 16.2 per cent while the proportion of the population over the age of 65 increased by 15.0 per cent.

A survey of past research about age and entrepre-neurship concluded that younger populations pos-sess characteristics more conducive to enterprising activity. For example, younger people are less risk averse and have a greater willingness to enter new markets or invest in new emerging technologies.

Moreover, in older workforces such as Canada’s, young people are less likely to be given an opportu-nity to occupy higher management positions and are therefore unable to obtain the skills needed to run their own businesses.

The problem is not unique to Canada. The phe-nomena of aging populations and dropping rates of business start-ups has also been documented in other industrialized countries such as the United

States,” said Niels Veldhuis, study co-author and Fraser Institute president.

As our populations continue to get older, this becomes a worrying trend because new business ventures drive productivity and employment growth in our economies.”

What can be done to mitigate the decline in entre-preneurism in Canada?

While there are a number of policy levers avail-able to policy makers, the study suggests that one option could be an overhaul of Canada’s capital gains tax—a tax imposed on the gain of a sale of assets.

Specifically, the authors explore two potential reforms: A roll-over—or deferral— provision as has been implemented in the United States or a com-plete elimination of the tax; 11 out of 34 OECD coun-tries do not impose any capital gains tax whatsoev-er.

Capital gains taxes raise only a small amount of revenue for the government but that comes at a con-siderable economic cost in that they reduce the return entrepreneurs receive from the sale of a busi-ness and impede small business finance, thus dis-couraging business start-ups,” Clemens said.

“If governments wish to encourage entrepre-neurism, reforming our current capital gains tax regime would be a good first step.”

To the Editor:

With tax season at hand, here’s a useful tip for any tax-weary Canadian. When some people refer to income or other money not taxed as a “loss” to gov-ernment, remember that they may merely be using technical lan-guage. In contrast, oth-ers really do lament any reduction or “omission” in possible taxes that flow to governments.

Understanding the difference is critical, because some who decry the “loss” often believe citizens exist for the sake of government and not vice-versa - a rather unhealthy approach in a democracy.

Consider some recent examples. Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver recently hinted that the federal govern-ment may double the allowed annual contri-bution limit for Tax Free Savings Accounts to $11,000 (from $5,500). In response, one news-paper warned of how future TFSA withdraw-als will be “costing future governments quite a lot” because TFSA gains are not taxed.

Of course, that lan-guage assumes capital gains should be taxed at

all. But not all gains are taxed. When Canadians see their principle resi-dence increase in value, no tax is applied to that gain. So to exempt all gains from tax (a home) or some gains (stock market profits where only half of the capital appreciation is taxed) is not novel.

Another example of the “loss” language: In February, the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) analyzed the effect of doubling the TFSA con-tribution limit.

According to the PBO report, in 2016 the cur-rent TFSA system will “cost” the federal and provincial governments an estimated $1.6 bil-lion - that’s the money governments would receive if Canadians were forced to pay capi-tal gains tax on invest-ment gains in the TFSA.

The PBO report esti-mated the effect of an $11,000 TFSA contribu-tion limit. The 2016 “loss” (a.k.a. taxes not paid by taxpayers) would be worth almost $1.7 billion.

Some perspective: In 2013 (the most recent year for this statistic), Canada’s federal and provincial governments collected $646 billion in

total revenue. So $1.7 billion represents bare-ly more than one-quar-ter of 1 per cent of what Ottawa and the prov-inces collected in 2013. If Canada’s govern-ments cannot live with a minor nick to their finances, perhaps they should re-examine their spending.

The point here is not ideological but practi-cal. If the underlying assumption really is that money belongs first to government, rather than the reverse – money first belongs to Canadians – then there is less pressure for gov-ernments to justify the taxes taken and how the money is spent.

One must, of course, be sensible. As a practi-cal matter, beyond a basic tribal level of organization, govern-ments are necessary and taxes are part of the bargain. But con-ceiving of untaxed income or gains as a “loss” (for other than technical descriptions) is not a useful or healthy way to conceive of the deal between citizens and governments. For one thing, citizens deserve the presump-tion that their money is, in fact, their money.

Furthermore, gov-ernments (and politi-

cians and civil servants) are made up of fallible human beings. So a check on the ability to tax and spend, includ-ing an orientation that assumes those in charge must always prove they need our cash, is essen-tial. That’s because no one can perfectly plan how to spend other peo-ple’s money.

Or as Richard Cartwright, the first pos t -Confederat i on Liberal finance minis-ter put it, “All taxation is a loss per se; it is the sacred duty of the gov-ernment to take only what is necessary for the proper discharge of the public service; and that taxation in any other mode, is simply, in one shape or another, legalized robbery.”

Cartwright assumed that taxes were useful but indeed a loss, not to government but to the citizens who pay the tax. Taxes are neces-sary, but we must be judicious about the money sent to politi-cians and civil servants. That includes under-standing the money first belongs to Canadians.

To the Editor:

Following a speech I gave about economic growth last week to the “Canada 2020” group in Ottawa, I want to thank all those who have joined the debate – about the fiscal records of past federal govern-ments, and more importantly, how to rise above the last nine years of mediocrity and move Canada for-ward more successfully.

At long last, Mr. Harper’s claim of being a good fiscal manager is being challenged more aggressively. And rightly so.

It’s interesting to note that even among those who didn’t much like my speech, the focus of their dis-agreement was largely historical – i.e., how much responsibility for previous fiscal problems should properly be borne by each previous government. What did they inherit from their predecessors? What new challenges arose? How did they respond? And what did they leave to their successors? The argu-ments run back 50 years or more.

But however you might rank Diefenbaker, Pearson, Trudeau, Clark, Mulroney and Campbell – it is clear that an important corner was turned in the 1990s with Chretien and Martin. They inherited the mak-ings of a fiscal crisis. Canada’s financial circumstanc-es were described by international media as worthy of honorary membership in the Third World. The debt ratio was approaching 70%. Just servicing that debt consumed a third of all federal revenues. Chretien and Martin faced it squarely, and fixed it.

As a consequence, when Mr. Harper took power in February of 2006, he was handed one of the strongest fiscal situations in the western world.

He inherited a decade of balanced budgets, an annual surplus of some $13-billion, declining taxes, a debt-ratio that had been slashed in half, a strong banking system, a secure Canada Pension Plan, regu-lar monthly trade surpluses, an annual economic growth rate of better than 3%, and some 3.5-million net new jobs.

Transfers to provinces were at a record high, and the country was investing in fairness and growth – ie., in families, medicare, education, science and infrastructure.

But in less than three years – while the economy remained strong – Mr. Harper squandered Canada’s hard-won fiscal security. Ignoring concerns about a potential housing bubble in the US and emerging weaknesses in American banks, his government made reckless decisions about fiscal policy, spending and management which put this country back on the verge of deficits once again.

It’s critical to note the timing. This happened BEFORE, not because of, the recession. Arriving in the latter part of 2008, the recession undoubtedly made things worse, but it was Mr. Harper before that who made us far more vulnerable than we needed to be.

And remember how he denied it – to bluff his way through the 2008 election. He said a recession was unlikely; we’d all just have “good buying opportuni-ties”. He said he would not run a deficit, and prom-ised five more balanced budgets. Was this deceit or incompetence?

And note this too – that recession which Mr. Harper still blames for everything lasted only nine months and ended six years ago. But Canada contin-ues to struggle with a slack economy. Growth is weak. Both job creation and job quality are poor. Household debt is at a record high. Young people can-not get a decent start on their own. Retirement incomes are woefully inadequate. Confidence in the future is at a low ebb.

In the latest global forecasts for economic growth over the next two years, a number of countries, like the US and the UK, are positioned well ahead of Canada. Some others (Germany, France, Italy, Japan, India, etc.) have had their growth prospects recently upgraded, while Canada is among a few who have fallen back. Despite all the Harper government’s expensive advertising to the contrary, Canada is no longer leading the pack.

Which brings me back to the key point that domi-nated my speech last week:

Mr. Harper’s policies have failed. Canada needs a new economic plan, one centred on the imperative of greater growth to lift the well-being of the middle-class and all those working so hard just to get there, to foster greater fairness, and to balance the nation’s books on a sound and durable basis.

To the Editor:

Registered charities and non-profit organizations in rural Canada are encouraged to apply for funding under the Farm Credit Canada (FCC) AgriSpirit Fund, which opened for applica-tions on April 13.

Rural community groups can view the eligibility requirements and apply online by visiting www.fccagrispiritfund.ca for an opportunity to access some of the $1 million that FCC has committed to capital projects under the AgriSpirit Fund.

“FCC offers specialized financing and services specifi-cally designed for primary pro-ducers, agribusinesses and agri-food operators across Canada.

FCC’s service to the agriculture industry puts us in the unique position as a trusted partner to contribute to the lives of farm families and rural communi-ties,” said Michael Hoffort, FCC president and CEO. “We con-tribute to the communities where our customers and employees live and work – sup-porting rural community proj-ects through the FCC AgriSpirit Fund is one way we can make a real difference.”

For a project to be considered for funding, it must meet spe-cific criteria and be completed before December 31, 2017. The application period will close on May 18, 2015 and FCC will announce the selected projects in August 2015. A list of past

projects that have received FCC AgriSpirit funding can be found by clicking on the “past-projects” link at www.fccagrispiritfund.ca.

In 2015-16, FCC will donate $3 million to charitable organi-zations and non- profit groups in the communities where our cus-tomers and employees live and work. Since inception of the FCC AgriSpirit Fund in 2004, FCC has supported almost 900 capi-tal projects in rural Canada totaling over $8.5 million in donations.

FCC is Canada’s leading agri-culture lender, with a healthy portfolio of $27.3 billion and 21 consecutive years of portfolio growth.

Credit Union Central of Canada (CUCC), the association representing Canada’s credit unions is welcoming the budget’s recognition of credit unions as vital players in the economy and the financial sector. The Minister of Finance’s decision to include an acknowledgement of credit unions in the bud-get is being seen as an important step to build a strong understanding between this part of the banking sector and the federal government.

“Our members are leaders in banking inno-vation and vital contribu-

tors to the economy, investing billions in small business and communi-ties each year,” Martha Durdin, president and CEO of CUCC said.”

In the budget, Minister Joe Oliver singled out the country’s 313 credit unions indicating that: the Government will con-tinue to engage stake-holders and work collab-oratively with the credit union sector on its future development and on ways to meet the needs of the evolving sector.

The minister’s state-ment follows a 36-week broad-based grassroots campaign led by credit

unions to promote a Capital Growth Tax Credit with the potential to equalize the federal tax treatment of credit unions with that of their share capital-based com-petitors. The “My Credit Union Matters!” cam-paign resulted in over 7,000 emails, post cards, and signatures on peti-tions urging the Minister to consider the proposal

“We will continue to promote the Capital Growth Tax Credit and other appropriate mea-sures to help financial cooperatives stimulate economic growth,” Durdin said. “Now more

than ever it makes sense for the government to partner with credit unions whose relation-ships with the SME sec-tor can help create new investment and jobs.”

Member-owned, full service financial institu-tions, credit unions are the partner over 5.3 mil-lion Canadians trust for their day-to-day banking. Taken together, the co-operatively owned finan-cial sector is the second largest private-sector lender to small business-es in Canada.

QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE – Erica Baker, (center) a student at Sacred Heart High School, has received the RE/MAX 2015 Quest for Excellence bursary which is valued at $1,000, presented by Doris Shank (left) and Jack Wruth (right) with RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty. Baker is only the second student in the area to receive the bur-sary, which was awarded to 16 students from across Western Canada. The scholarship selection is based on the contribution students make to their community, with Baker being involved in many different community proj-ects but especially teaching dance, and she says her young students inspire her most of all. She plans on study-ing Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan. Baker also received an additional $1,000 from RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty, and Wruth says he believes she is someone who will go on to do great things and represent the community well in the future.

Average farmland val-ues in Saskatchewan con-tinued to rise in 2014, but the climb wasn’t as steep as the previous year, according to the latest Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Farmland Values Report.

Saskatchewan showed one of the most significant changes among the prov-inces, slowing from an increase of 28.5 per cent in 2013 to 18.7 per cent in 2014.

Average farmland val-ues in Canada showed a 14.3-per-cent increase in 2014, compared to a 22.1-

per-cent increase in 2013. The rate of increase also slowed in many key agri-culture regions, including, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

“While the increases are still significant in many parts of the country, they do suggest we are moving toward more mod-erate increases for farm-land values,” said Corinna Mitchell-Beaudin, FCC executive vice-president and chief risk officer. “This is good news for producers since gradual change in the value of this key asset

is always better for those entering or leaving the industry.”

Other provinces, includ-ing British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, continued to see single-digit increases, while the value of farmland in Newfoundland and Labrador remained unchanged from 2013.

J.P. Gervais, FCC chief agricultural economist, has been predicting a “soft landing” for farmland val-ues since crop prices began moving closer to the long-term average following

abnormally high prices due to the 2012 U.S. drought.

While lower interest rates make it tempting to buy land, Gervais empha-sized producers need to exercise caution. “Interest rates will eventually increase, even if this is not on the 2015 horizon,” he said. “Expanding world stocks of grains and oil-seeds could bring prices down further, creating tighter margins.” Tighter profit margins may also affect the land rental mar-ket. Rental rates usually take a little time to adjust downward following lower grain and oilseed prices.

Multi-year leases are also gaining in popularity.

“Producers should be encouraged that a weak Canadian dollar, expand-ing trade agreements and growing world food demand are helping to enhance the demand side of the market for Canadian commodities, creating a positive long-term outlook for agriculture,” Gervais added.

“Land is a valuable asset and there really isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula for determining when to buy or sell,” Mitchell-Beaudin said. “Producers really need to take a close look at their operations

and ensure they can man-age through a number of scenarios when it comes to revenues and expenses.”

FCC’s Farmland Values Report provides important information about changes in farmland values across Canada.

April 19-25 has been declared Victims of Crime Awareness Week in Saskatchewan, coincid-ing with National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. This year’s theme is “Shaping the Future Together.”

The week is an oppor-tunity to raise awareness about the unique needs of victims of crime and tragedy, as well as the services available for them in their time of cri-sis.

Victims of Crime Awareness Week also recognizes the good work done by Victims Services staff and volunteers in Saskatchewan.

“Every year I get to meet a number of these tremendous people and every year I’m amazed by their compassion and dedication,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “I hope all Victims Services staff and volun-teers take a moment this week to reflect on their contribution. They truly make Saskatchewan a better place to live.”

In 2013-14, the rough-ly 160 volunteer Victim

Support Workers in this province helped nearly 9,000 people in their time of need. To show the province’s appreciation, Minister Wyant will host a luncheon at the Legislative Building for long-term volunteers who have completed 10, 15 and 20 years of service.

Victims Services pro-grams are spread out across the province and provide a range of ser-vices, including support immediately following a crime and throughout the criminal justice pro-cess, specialized respons-es to domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as support for chil-dren and other vulnera-ble victims and witnesses who are required to tes-tify in court.

For information about Victims of Crime Awareness Week, servic-es available for victims, or volunteer opportuni-ties, please contact your local Victim Services pro-gram. You can also call the Victims Services Branch at 306-787-3500 or visit the website at www.justice.gov.sk.ca/victimsservices.

Students in Saskatchewan are see-ing and hearing about the devastating after-math of impaired driv-ing as MADD Canada and Provincial Sponsors, Saskatchewan Govern-ment Insurance (SGI) and Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA), deliv-er the latest School Assembly Program to schools around the prov-ince.

MADD Canada’s 2014-2015 School Assembly Program,

titled Aftermath, edu-cates young people about the risks and impact of impaired driving.

“Motor vehicle crash-es are the leading cause of death among 15 to 25 year olds, and impair-ment is a factor in more than 50 per cent of those crashes,” said MADD Canada National Presi-dent Angeliki Souranis. “The School Assembly Program educates stu-dents about those risks and emphasizes the fact that they each have the power to prevent

impaired driving.”Aftermath features

the fictional story of Charlie, as told by his younger brother Mark. When Charlie decides to drive after drinking and smoking pot -- and con-vinces his best friend Elliott to go with him -- the resulting crash leaves a devastating aftermath. Struggling to deal with his feelings, Mark makes a video for Charlie about that terri-ble decision to drive impaired. The story is followed by emotional

and moving interviews with family members of real-life victims of impaired driving.

As Provincial Sponsors of the School Assembly Program, SGI and SLGA are sponsor-ing 60 presentations this school year. They have also provided generous support to produce infor-mation cards which are being distributed to stu-dents in Saskatchewan.

“MADD Canada’s School Assembly Program delivers a mes-sage that is vitally

important for young peo-ple to hear,” said Gene Makowsky, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Regina Dewdney on behalf of Minister Responsible for SGI and Minister Responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Don McMorris. “SGI and SLGA are proud to be part of this effort to educate stu-dents about the dangers of impaired driving and empower them to make safe, responsible choices that protect them and their peers.”

MADD Canada

(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is a national, charitable organization that is committed to stopping impaired driv-ing and supporting the victims of this violent crime. With volunteer-driven groups in more than 100 communities across Canada, MADD Canada aims to offer support services to vic-tims/survivors, heighten awareness of the dan-gers of impaired driving and save lives and pre-vent injuries on our roads.

SKILLS Competition

The Provincial Skills competition was held on April 16-17 in Moose Jaw. Sacred Heart High School sent eight students to compete in trade and technology areas. Competing in Architectural Drafting was Chelsey Yesnik, Mechanical Drafting – Colton Roberts, Cooking – Calic “Aurius” Tolentino, Baking - Tyra Cadotte, Carpentry - Blair Kawchuk, TV Video Production a team which consisted of Jacob Link and Camryn Van Caeseele, and in Welding - Colson Walker. Sacred Heart’s students rep-resented their school well, but came up just short of medalling. This is one of the few years that Sacred Heart did not bring home a medal from this competition, but the students had the opportunity to learn more about their skills and opportunities for p o s t - s e c o n d a r y opportunities. “This was a great experi-ence for the students to showcase their strengths in their given fields and to see what they need to work on for the future. It also allowed them to see the programs offered at the

S a s k a t c h e w a n Polytechnic Campus as future career options” says instruc-tor Curtis Moen. “I am excited to see our

grade 11 students have the opportunity to compete once again next year now that they know what to expect from this

c o m p e t i t i o n . Congratulations team on your hard work this year!”

An undercover inves-tigation by the Ministry of Environment to stop an illegal fish trafficking ring in northern Saskatchewan has net-ted 15 charges under Saskatchewan’s Outfitter and Guide Regulations and

The charges were laid by the ministry after information was received in 2011 relating to illegal outfitting and the abuse of walleye stocks in the Buffalo Narrows area..

Undercover officers determined that illegal outfitting was taking place without an outfit-ters’ licence. The officers were also approached by subsistence fishermen who sold fish to them illegally.

In May 2014, the first of four men charged in connection with the case – Leon Morin of Buffalo Narrows – was convicted of four counts of unlaw-ful marketing of fish caught by both commer-cial fishing and subsis-tence fishing, and fined a total of $19,360.

The other three men were recently fined a total of $31,460 in Buffalo Narrows provincial court after being found guilty of 11 charges.

Richard Hansen of Buffalo Narrows was convicted of one count of unlawful outfitting, two counts of unlawful mar-keting of fish caught by subsistence fishing, one count of providing sub-sistence fish to someone other than a family mem-ber, and one count of unlawfully setting a gill net. He was fined a total of $18,510.

Maurice Billette of Dillon was convicted of four counts of unlawfully marketing fish caught by subsistence fishing and was fined a total of $11,200.

Danny Billette of Dillon was convicted of two counts of unlawfully marketing fish caught by subsistence fishing and was fined a total of $1,750.

Anyone approached to buy fish who believes the sale is not legal is encour-aged to contact the near-est Ministry of Environment office, the province’s toll-free Turn In Poachers (TIP) hotline at 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 for SaskTel cell phone subscribers, or report a violation online at www.saskatchewan.ca/conservation. Callers may be eligible for cash rewards through the SaskTip Reward Program.

Ed, my neighbor next door, watched me back my car out of the garage yesterday. My neighbor didn’t mind telling me that my backing up could have been straighter and better. Ed is a person who tells anyone and everyone what he feels they need to know, whether they want to hear it or not. Some folks give their two cents on everything they see, as if, it is worth ten dollars. Ed cannot believe anyone would not want to hear his opinions, except Ruby, his wife. He admits family members are a tough and skepti-cal bunch when told anything.

“You have two eyes to watch what you are doing,” Ed told me. “You backed out of your garage like you had your eyes shut. Did you have your glasses on?” he asked.

“I didn’t know you were watching Ed, or I

would have been more careful, so I didn’t offend you,” I told Ed. Ed said that a little practice would help me, as I needed to get bet-ter at it. My neighbor felt that telling me that I backed up poorly, would result in a better performance in the future. Being told that I need to improve at backing up did not inspire me to improve. Doing better is not sim-ply a case of keeping both eyes open, and focused on what you are doing. It is easy to see how others could improve, but hard to see how we need to improve ourselves. Telling others what they didn’t do well, and need to improve on is often of little value.

How many times have we cautioned oth-ers to, “Watch what you are doing!” or “Have an eye, watch where you are going! Watch the road!” Often, when someone could have

done much better, it was the best the person could achieve at the time. What amount of a poor job done matters? If in backing out of my garage I dent my car or damage the garage, I do need to improve at backing my car out of the garage. If I do not damage my car or garage, I’m satisfied even if Ed isn’t. We should drive with our eyes open anywhere with full attention, and defensively. Being pre-occupied, while driving, is dangerous for the driver and other folks. I do drive with my eyes open, even if, Ed says that I close my eyes

and pray while backing up out of my garage.

When it comes to liv-

ing our Christian lives, it may appear that we are not living as straight and well as we could, or should live. It is no easy job to keep one eye on God, and one eye focused on our neighbor while living our lives. How easy it is to get focused on our-selves, and turn a blind eye to God and others. Anyone can be a critic and point out someone

else’s sin, but only God makes things right. Only, God is perfect. It is God who loves and restores sinners through the cleansing of his Sons’ blood. God wants us see that none of us are without sin. Sin traps us all, and it is the forgiveness of God that we need to see for ourselves, and oth-ers.

Open both eyes and watch what you’re doing

Regulations that prohibit striptease entertainment as a reg-ular activity in liquor licensed establishments are now in effect.

Striptease entertain-ment will now be allowed to occur in lim-ited special use facili-ties – theatres/concert halls, casinos and exhi-bition facilities. Communities without these types of special use facilities may hold events at an approved venue, under a Special

Occasion Permit.Events can only

occur once annually per establishment and must be in support of a charitable/community cause. Full nudity will continue to be prohib-ited.

“We know in the past that there have been some performances that have served as fundraising events for very worthy causes,” Minister responsible for SLGA Don McMorris said.

“In drafting these regulations, we wanted to take a common sense approach that would allow these types of events to continue to occur, but on a very limited basis and not as the main focus of a business.”

C o r r e s p o n d e n c e regarding these chang-es will be sent to all of the province’s 1,900 commercial liquor per-mit holders in the com-ing days.

To help ensure Canada’s long-term economic prosperity, the Government of Canada knows that it is essential that Canadians have afford-able access to the train-ing and education they need to get well-paying jobs.

That’s why, in 2009, we created Canada Student Grants. This program gives students in low-and middle-in-come families financial assistance so they can achieve their post-sec-ondary education and training goals. Canada Student Grants pro-

vides up to $250 per month for the duration of the skills training or education program or, for disabled students, up to $2,000 per aca-demic year. And, because grants do not need to be repaid, this assistance helps keep them debt-free.

In 2012-2013, we increased the income eligibility threshold for part-time students so that more Canadians can take advantage of this assistance. In that same year, over 350,000 students received some form of assistance through Canada

Student Grants.Now, our govern-

ment is building on that strong record of support. We’re enhanc-ing Canada Student Grants by expanding the eligibility for stu-dents from low-and

middle-income families to include short-dura-tion programs. Beginning next year, these changes will help roughly 42,000 addi-tional students per year – including Canadians looking to upgrade their

skills to land a new or better job.

In addition to Canada Student Grants, our government continues to support a number of additional measures to help Canadians train and find employment in high-demand fields.

For example, our Canada Apprentice Loan is helping Red Seal trade apprentices with the costs they face during technical train-ing by providing them with interest-free loans. And, as a part of the Youth Employment Strategy (YES), our government is provid-

ing up to 3,000 post-secondary grads with real-world, paid experi-ences in high-demand fields such as science, technology, engineer-ing and the skilled trades.

By supporting post-secondary education and training, the Government of Canada is helping Canadians achieve their goals, and supporting a stronger and more prosperous economy.

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is pro-viding more than $1.4 million to more than 600 community groups and organizations across the province through its charitable gaming grant program.

“The charitable gam-ing grant program is an important contributor to a number of volunteer-based organizations that are essential to Saskatchewan communi-

ties,” Minister responsi-ble for SLGA Don McMorris said. “These dollars will further enhance the programs and services that these groups provide in their communities.”

Among the grants pro-vided by SLGA this quar-ter: Moose Jaw and sur-rounding area received $90,781; Prince Albert and surrounding area: $77,754; Swift Current and surrounding area: $70,713; Meadow Lake

and surrounding area: $63,689 and Estevan and surrounding area: $26,789.

The charitable gam-ing grant program sup-ports groups and organi-zations that conduct charitable gaming includ-ing licensed bingos, raf-fles, breakopen tickets, Texas Hold ‘em poker and Monte Carlo events. Groups and organiza-tions receive a grant equal to 25 per cent of the net revenues raised

from these activities, up to a maximum grant of $100,000 annually.

Charitable gaming grants are paid quarter-

ly. Groups that conduct licensed charitable gam-ing activities and events do not have to apply for the charitable gaming

grant. Charitable gam-ing reports submitted by the groups are used by SLGA to calculate grants.

Premier Brad Wall was in Ottawa last week for the signing of a sup-ply contract between Cameco Inc., a subsid-iary of Saskatoon-based Cameco Corporation, and the Department of Atomic Energy of India. The premier witnessed the signing along with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Canada on a state visit.

“I would like to thank the federal government and Prime Minister Harper and the Government of India and Prime Minister Modi for

reaching the agreement and business framework that made the Cameco contract possible,” Wall said. “India has a dynam-ic and growing nuclear energy program, and the opportunity to supply this major customer is a huge deal for our indus-try, the workers it employs and the Saskatchewan communi-ties it supports.”

The Canada-India Nuclear Co-operation Agreement came into force in September 2013, thus allowing Canadian companies to export nuclear products for peaceful uses to India.

The premier promoted Saskatchewan’s uranium resources during his two trade missions to India in March 2011 and November of last year. During the first mission, he met with Modi, then the chief minister of the Indian state of Gujarat.

“Premier Wall and the Government of Saskatchewan have always championed our industry, both domesti-cally and international-ly,” Cameco President and CEO Tim Gitzel said. “That support played a big part in helping open the doors for our busi-ness to one of the world’s most promising uranium markets.”

India’s nuclear energy program is second only to China’s in its scale. The country has 21 reactors currently in operation, with another six under construction and sched-uled to come online in 2017.

“Saskatchewan is already our nation’s top exporter to India, and we’re delighted to be part of its future energy mix,” Wall said. “We have the resources that India and other rapidly-developing countries in Asia need.

THREE COUNCILS MEETING VERY POSITIVE – The Councils of the City of Yorkton, and the RMs of Orkney and Wallace met April 16 to discuss issues of mutual concern in the development of the region. “We were very happy to host this first ever meeting of the three councils,” said Mayor Bob Maloney, “and we look forward to further produc-tive meetings in the future.” The meeting was arranged by City Manager Lonnie Kaal to foster cooperation in working together on many common issues facing the three municipalities, such as highways and infrastructure, drainage and development. “Working cooperatively is the best way to plan for meeting the growing needs of our resi-dents and business community,” said Kaal.

The federal and pro-vincial governments have committed $200,000 to the contin-uation of the Grain Bag Recycling Pilot Project in 2015. The program collects both grain bags and twine province-wide.

The new funding will allow Simply Ag Solutions to meet the strong demand for the program. In 2014-15, Simply Ag Solutions shipped 1,871,000 pounds of plastic from their 13 collection sites.

“Our government remains committed to supporting Canada’s producers and our world-class agriculture industry,” said Federal Agriculture Minister

Gerry Ritz. “By extend-ing the pilot project, we’re giving farmers an easy and positive solu-tion to continue to be excellent stewards of our land, air and water resources.”

“Grain bag recycling increased significantly last year, shipping three times more plas-tic than in the three previous years of the project combined,” S a s k a t c h e w a n Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “The project is doing what it is designed to do and the increased uptake demonstrates the com-mitment o f Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers to main-taining a healthy and sustainable environ-

ment.”Since its inception in

2011, the Grain Bag Recycling Pilot Project has recycled approxi-mately 2,421,000 pounds of plastic or 7,345 bags. The Minis try o f Environment continues to work on the creation of regulations that will see the establishment of a permanent indus-

try-led recycling pro-gram in the future.

“Our goal is to divert as much plastic from farmyards and landfills as possible and with the help of producers in Saskatchewan,” Simply Ag Solutions Agriculture Plastic Recycling Co-ordinator Travis Quirk said. “Our efforts are making an impact.”

Farmers and ranch-

ers can access collection sites across the prov-ince in Cudworth, Hirsch, Humboldt, Kelvington, Macoun, Marshall, Milestone, Moose Jaw, Mossbank, Prince Albert, Rush Lake, Saskatoon and Unity.

For additional infor-mation, producers can contact Simply Agriculture Solutions

toll-free at 1-866-298-7222.

This investment is funded through Growing Forward 2, a cost-shared partnership between federal, pro-vincial and territorial governments designed to support an innova-tive, competitive and profitable Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) now conserves Big Quill Lake South, 460 acres (186 ha) of shallow saline wetland and mixed grasslands, part of Saskatchewan’s Quill Lakes world-class bird-ing habitat.

NCC’s Big Quill Lake South property along Highway #6 near Dafoe, is located 150 km (93 mi) north of Regina. This property is part of the broader Quill Lakes

area, renowned for abun-dant migratory water-fowl and shorebirds. The area holds a Ramsar des-ignation as a wetland of international importance and was designated a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network of international significance, an Important Bird Area, and a Saskatchewan Heritage Marsh.

Birdwatching in the Quill Lakes, named for the bird quills that were

once collected here and shipped to England for use as writing pens, is second to none. Many waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds stage or refuel here, providing both the novice and expert birder a great view of sandhill cranes, snow geese, yellow war-blers, LeConte’s, clay-coloured and Nelson’s sharp-tailed sparrows, even colonies of American white pelicans and dou-ble-crested cormorants.

NCC permits on-foot-on-ly access on all of its Saskatchewan proper-ties.

Shorebird species that stop or stage here include the black-bellied plover, Hudsonian godwit, stilt sandpiper, sanderling, semipalmated sandpip-er, long-billed dowitcher, red-necked phalarope, lesser yellowlegs, the endangered piping plo-ver, and more.

Duck breeding is extraordinary, with mal-lards, northern shovel-ers, green- and blue-winged teal enjoying the area. Up to 50 nesting duck pairs per square mile have been docu-mented here during spring and summer months. The area’s spe-cies at risk include Sprague’s pipit, northern leopard frog, fescue prai-rie grass, even bobolink!

NCC’s contributing partners for purchase of the Big Quill Lake South property are the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan.

• The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) works with a broad range of organiza-tions to advance long term land conservation in Saskatchewan and throughout Canada.

Good news for wetland conservation

THE NCC will conserve 460 acres of prime habitat for migratory songbirds, waterfowl and shorebirds.

The four Museum locations in Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Saskatoon and Yorkton are now open on Mondays.

The winter season has ended and with the arrival of spring and the

month of April, we are pleased to announce that the Museums will now be open seven days a week.

Moose Jaw, North Battleford and Saskatoon are open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00pm. The

Yorkton location is open Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and week-ends from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Also, the Western Development Museum has just released its sta-tistics for the volunteer

hours that have been donated by its very dedi-cated volunteer core in 2014. 54,737 hours of volunteer service were donated to the WDM locations in Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Saskatoon, Yorkton as

well as the Curatorial Centre.

Volunteers are an integral work force that helps deliver programs to Museum visitors... everything from vintage aircraft restoration, quilting, telegraphing,

rope making, providing guided tours, operating steam traction engines and so much more. These dedicated individuals bring the Museum to life with their energy, years of experience and sto-ries.

WDM will now be open seven days a week

THE NEWS REVIEWIn Print, Online & Mobile

Being a Chef, I am cer-tain that you will think my opinion is biased when I tell you that garlic is my friend. However, I have reasons to support my love for this lit-tle bulb.

I honestly believe that most people, who say they hate the taste of garlic, must have been exposed to an overpowered Caesar dressing or Greek tzatziki sauce at some point in their lives. Garlic, when cooked, does not have that overly pungent flavour reminis-cent of these raw form reci-pes. Alternatively, it has a sweeter and smoother tem-perament and adds a depth of flavour to your dish that cannot be mimicked.

A perfect example of this would be roasted garlic. Whole heads of garlic roast-ed in the oven can be pureed and mixed into an endless variety of recipes such as bread-dough, dips, spreads, stuffings, etc, and it’s one of the easiest things to pre-pare:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Keep the gar-lic heads whole, and cut off the tops of the garlic heads, just enough to expose the tops of the garlic cloves. Place the garlic heads of garlic in an ovenproof cas-serole dish equipped with a lid. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over each of the exposed garlic heads, and season lightly with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at room tempera-ture (with the lid on) until cool enough to touch. Serve whole for presentation, or squeeze out the cloves and mix into a variety of spreads, dips, or sauces.

Garlic is one of the old-est cultivated plants known to mankind and has been hailed as one of world’s most celebrated medicinal vegetables. There are many stories of old that proclaim of its pure powers to

increase endurance and stamina. It also has many therapeutic properties. Medical studies have con-firmed that garlic contains natural antibiotic and cleansing qualities and it is used to treat a wide range of health problems.

When buying garlic, you want to make sure that that the bulb or “head” is not discoloured and it is tightly wrapped in its own natural paper-like skin. Do not buy garlic that is falling apart, as this is a sure sign of its age. Additionally, stay away from garlic that has little green sprouts coming from the encased cloves - although these are virtually harmless, they are a sign that the garlic has been stored in an area that is too humid. Garlic is best stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilat-ed space and it will keep for several months. It is not recommended that you store garlic in your refrig-erator.

I personally cook with and consume garlic on a daily basis. There are many great ways to add this won-derful vegetable to a variety of dishes; just practice “moderation” if the thought of the taste in your recipe scares you.

One final note: the sprig of parsley that has been added to enhance the pre-sentation of your plate was originally derived from the practice of chewing it after a meal to freshen one’s breath.

Chef Dez on Cooking

CHESS CLUB – The St. Michael’s Chess Club had very successful year reflected by the fact we had 51 members! The club ran for 6 months – from early October to late March. It was also very exciting that many of our students participated in local tournaments and some students even went to on to the provincial tournament on March 28. Joseph Vanderloo qualified for the Nationals to be held in May in Quebec City! Many thanks to Madame Sing for her time, patience and leadership. Madame Lovequist and Madame Wayman invite all of St. Michael’s students to join us next year for another ‘brain workout’ season. Submitted
