Rachel Ashley has no time for bulliesBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Rachel Ashley knows what it’s like to be bullied, and she knows how diffi-cult it can be when kids feel as though nobody understands what they are going through. The country-pop singer has been touring schools for the past two years with her “No Time for That” anti-bullying campaign, and made a stop at Yorkdale School.

Ashley’s school tours started when she was in high school herself, and she says that it was some-thing she did because she realized that her experi-ences with bullying in school were not unique, and she felt as though she needed to make something positive happen from her experiences.

“For me school was really tough, and I went through a lot of horrible experiences with bullying. It was things like getting my hair cut, being left out, being called names, being made fun of, rumors were awful and I even got punched in the face. It was things like that, and I felt so alone and hurt and mis-understood, so I started to turn to music.”

While music was her outlet while going through

the pain of bullying, Ashley says she realized that she was not alone, and she felt that she could use her music to help students like her.

“I realized so many other people out there feel the same way I did, and nobody deserves to feel that way. So I got my songs together, I got my stories together and started emailing local schools, and it grew from there.”

Her goal is to focus on the positive in her life and her music, and she wants to give kids the message that they’re not alone and that things can get better in their lives. Living through bullying means she knows what it is like for kids going through the same message, and she says she wants to make sure kids know that it can get better and that they need to focus on the posi-tive in their lives.

Since beginning the tours in November 2012, Ashley says she has visit-ed over 300 schools, and she says it’s rewarding to see that she is helping kids get through their own experiences with bullying.

“For me, it’s such a great feeling knowing that from my own stories and my songs I can reach out to so many people.”

RACHEL ASHLEY has been touring schools with her “No Time for That” Anti-bullying campaign, using her expe-riences to help students going through the same situation.

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) has put together the Fairness Express, a lime green bus that is tour-ing the country to get people talking about income equality in Canada.

Mary Ann Harrison, Vice President for SGEU/NUPGE, says that the goal of the bus is to make people aware of the income disparity going on in the country, and start engaging peo-ple about what they see as a problem in Canada as a whole.

The big issue that NUPGE wants to see people thinking about

on the tour is corporate taxes, Harrison says. There are many tax credits and concessions to corporations that NUPGE feels are unnec-essary and do not bene-fit Canadians overall.

“Corporations need to pay more. They need to pay better wages and they need to pay more taxes. Right now they are getting a lot of tax exceptions and tax cred-its... You’ve got corpora-tions getting tax credits and tax breaks, but you’re not giving that to the people who actually need the breaks.”

She admits that the logic behind the tax breaks is that corpora-tions would be unwill-ing to continue to do business without the

concessions, but feels that this is not some-thing people need to worry about, especially in a resource-based economy, given that the resources cannot be relocated.

“I can’t imagine stakeholders would allow them to leave if you said instead of $275 billion you’re only going to make $175 billion.”

Over the tour across Canada, she says that people have a frustra-tion over a lack of income. With fewer peo-ple making a living wage, Harrison says that there is a mounting frustration about the rising costs not being met with rising wages.

NUPGE has been touring the country raising the issue of income equality with the people they meet. Pictured above are Muna Deciman, Echo Stringer and Mary Ann Harrison with the bus tour.

YEARS/40,000 KMPLUS 2014 MODELS GET

ALL-TERRAIN DOUBLE CAB SHOWN

By DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

Each year, Fire Prevention Week has a different focus, and this year the national theme is working smoke detectors. Yorkton Fire Protective Services held a free pan-cake breakfast to com-memorate the event and remind people of the ben-efits of a working smoke alarm.

Chief Trevor Morrissey says it’s a recurring theme for the department because of the difference a smoke alarm can make when it comes to prevent-

ing injury or death in a fire. The goal is not only to get people to use a smoke detector, but to test them regularly – he recom-mends monthly – to ensure they’re in working order.

“They are tried and true, they work, they’re an early warning device so you can leave your home or business in time so nobody is hurt... It’s nice to have a fire extinguisher in your home, and you need them, but the most vulnerable time is at night when you’re sleeping, and those don’t go to sleep.”

One of the primary ways that they raise

awareness is through the schools, Morrissey says, as kids bringing the mes-sage home is a very effec-tive way to get families thinking about fire safety in their own homes.

Overall the week is something which Morrissey says the fire department enjoys each year, and they hope their message gets through and people remember to put a priority on fire safety.

“We enjoy having peo-ple through the station, and it’s nice to keep the thought alive about fire prevention and fire safe-ty.”

YORKTON FIRE PROTECTIVE SERVICES hosted a free pancake breakfast for Fire Prevention Week, with this year’s message being about the importance of smoke alarms. Pictured above, Alicia and Zoe Napoleoni take the chance to get a closer look at the classic fire truck.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, October 16, 2014 - A

Paying tribute to Veterans of World War II

Canada’s military not only participated in the Second World War – they helped win it. Seventy-five years ago, as a member of the Allied forces, Canadians played a stellar role that helped bring an Allied victo-ry.

Now, in honour of the 75th anniversary of our participation in the Second World War, the Government of Canada has announced a national tribute to honour living WW11 Veterans. The tribute will take the form of a special commemorative lapel pin and certifi-

cate of recognition of their contribution to Canada’s freedom and security.

The Honourable Julian Fantino, Minister of Veterans Affairs, stated: “I join my colleagues across the country in recog-nizing the tremendous contributions of those who courageously defended our shared values of peace and freedom in the Second World War. Through this tribute, we are remembering and hon-ouring those who served in this conflict with pride and appre-ciation.”

It is estimated that there are approximate-ly 80,000 Canadian

Second World War Veterans alive today. With a population of some 11 million in 1939, Canada’s contri-bution to the Second World War was dispro-portionately large. From 1939 to 1945, more than one million Canadians and N e w f o u n d l a n d e r s served, with more than 55,000 wounded and

over 45,000 giving their lives.

Canadians who served at least one day with the Canadian forces, or with any other Allied force including the Canadian or British Merchant Navy, either at home or abroad, during the Second World War, are eligible to apply for the commemorative lapel

pin and certificate.The design of the

commemorative pin and the illustration on the certificate are based on the original “Victory Nickel” which features a flaming torch and a large ‘V’ standing both for vic-tory and the coin’s denomination. The coin was originally in circu-lation from 1943 to 1945 and was re-issued in 2005 to commemo-rate the 60th anniver-sary of Victory in Europe Day.

This is a small com-memoration for the faithful veterans who fought so hard and won – at great personal sac-rifice. However, it is one more opportunity

for our government to let them know that we have not forgotten their contributions to our great country – and that we continue to remember them, not only on November 11th of each year.

Veterans may com-plete a request form on their own or someone else may request com-memoration on their behalf. Tribute request forms are available at veterans.gc.ca, or by calling Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) at 1-866-522-2122 and asking to have a form sent by mail. You may also visit a local Service Canada office.

Good news outlook for the family farm“Family farms are

not going to disappear in Canada. In fact, the vast majority of family farms are either grow-ing or sustaining their business and becom-ing more modern and efficient operations,” said Sophie Perreault, FCC’s chief operating officer.

The Vision Panel survey, conducted in early August 2014, showed more than a quarter (2 per cent) of producers considered

their operations to be in the growth stage of the business life cycle, while four in 10 (40 per cent) producers categorized their oper-ation as “sustaining.”

The majority of pro-ducers said they have also expanded the physical size of their operation (73 per cent) as well as the scale of production (80 per cent) since their entry into agriculture pro-duction as a liveli-hood.

In the next three years, half of produc-ers plan to expand the physical size of their operation, while 58 per cent plan to expand their operation’s scale of production.

Interestingly, pro-ducers who have been running their opera-tion for less than 10 years are the most likely to have future expansion plans for their operation’s phys-ical size (65 per cent), scale of production (77

per cent) or number of employees (33 per cent), according to the survey.

FCC’s Vision Panel survey showed 62 per cent of agriculture producers have at least one adult child who aspires to manage the family farm; of these producers, 43 per cent have at least one adult child already involved in the opera-tion, while 19 per cent have at least one adult child who is interested

in becoming involved.“Whether or not

they were raised on a farm, more and more young people are becoming involved in various aspects of agri-culture – not only in the area of primary production, but also in the agri-food and agri-business sectors,” Perreault said. “FCC pays special attention to the next generation of producers because we know the success of the industry is tied to

their success.”“Canadian agricul-

ture is an exciting, dynamic and complex industry that offers many opportunities beyond the farm gate,” she added.

When producers with at least one adult child were asked for a word that best describes the process of transitioning the farm to their children, almost a quarter of those surveyed used the word “complex”.


In political campaigns, it can’t be easy to be the status quo. When things are going well, it stands to reason people will be reluctant to switch parties and go with the new guy, but there’s also very little excit-ing that can be done if you’re the people in power. You can’t promise too much change, because the question becomes why you are not currently implementing that change. Once you’ve been in power long enough it also becomes somewhat inappropriate to continue to focus on the failures of your predecessors.

I bring this up due to a banner ad produced by the Saskatchewan Party, which rails agains the “same old NDP” and their perceived failings. The problem with this ad is that we actually aren’t talking about the same NDP, at least by most metrics. The current leader, Cam Broten, was not elected as part of any NDP-lead legislatures, having first gained a seat when the Saskatchewan Party won their first election in 2007. Of the nine members of the legislature, a mere four were elected when the NDP was actually running the province, meaning the majority of the opposition party is not the same old NDP. While an argument can be made that they were still involved in the party and still have the same core beliefs, this is not the party whose government fell in 2007.

The NDP has been guilty of the same tactic, they

railed against the Grant Devine government in the same way, trying to use the momentum that lead to their 1991 election win long after memories of that era had faded from the people’s collective conscious-ness and his Progressive Conservative party ceased to exist. If the roles were reversed, it is likely that I could have done the exact same column with the names reversed, because it’s a heavily used tactic even long after it becomes irrelevant or confusing to voters. The problem is that I can’t see why we need to still care about a government that has not existed for seven years a this point, and I do not see this being an effective tactic.

It’s especially baffling in the case of a Saskatchewan

election because the province has been in a period of significant growth. That means that it has also gained many more citizens, none of which will care about the “same old” anything since they have not actually been around to witness it. Their issues with the province will be exclusively in the present day, and it will be difficult to relate to a campaign focused around a time before they even arrived. For the Saskatchewan Party, this should be an easy to reach demographic, after all they were in power when the new residents made the choice to come to Saskatchewan, they can claim credit for the reasons why they moved. Instead, the campaign just com-plains about people they have never met.

In any upcoming election, what happened two terms ago will no longer matter, it’s nearly a decade and as a province we have moved on. These cam-paigns need to be built in the present, focus on the current issues, current policies and current ideas of each party. By keeping the focus on the old party, it makes it appear as though you do not know what to do with the current one, a party that is significantly different than the one from seven years ago. An elec-tion campaign should take place in the present, not the past, since we’re deciding on the future.

Surplus funds should pay debt

Farming in Canada is not what many Canadians think it is, according to Realities of Agriculture in Canada – A sector of innovation and growth, a new report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

In fact, the majority of farmers – fifty-one per cent - plan to adopt new, innovative technologies over the next three years, and 44 per cent are planning to expand their business.

According to a recent study commissioned by the federal government, Canadians have many misconceptions about the agriculture industry, including that it’s not innovative, is shrinking, it potentially harms the environment, and that family farms are becoming extinct.

“This is not Old MacDonald’s farm. Our new report debunks Canadians’ outdated view of the Agriculture sector,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vice-president of Agri-business. “Agriculture in Canada is vibrant and innova-tive. The sector contributes over $100 billion to the economy and supports one-in-eight jobs.”

CFIB’s report outlines the key realities of farming.

“This study highlights the ambition and opti-mism that make agriculture a major driver of the Canadian economy,” said Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.

“Our Government will continue to partner with industry to invest in research and innova-tion, ensuring Canadian farmers remain com-petitive in the global market well into the future.”

The Saskatchewan government has pro-claimed October as Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan. The month will focus on profiling opportunities in agriculture to youth.

“Through innovation, the adoption of new technology, and environmental stewardship, our industry is on the leading edge,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said.

“Our Government’s agriculture awareness initiatives work to ensure the public recognizes a modern industry that offers diverse career opportunities, helps drive our economy and serves as a source of food security to the world.”

“The report adds the farmers’ voice, but the work doesn’t stop there. Beyond promoting the agriculture sector, government policies need to foster agricultural competitiveness.

Farmers’ priorities for government action include further reducing red tape and the total tax burden, as well as increased focus on indus-try research, development and innovation,” con-cluded Braun-Pollon.

Things I do with words...

Devin Wilger

The news that Ottawa will post a dramatically smaller deficit - $5.2 billion versus the $16.6 billion forecast - indicates Ottawa is moving into surplus terri-tory quicker than anticipated. Ottawa has balanced the budget while also shrinking the federal government’s fiscal footprint. As a percentage of GDP, federal govern-ment revenues are the lowest they have been since the mid-1960s. Indeed, the last budget predicted revenue to GDP of 14.4 per cent by 2018-19 compared to program spending taking up only 12.4 per cent and public debt charges 1.6 per cent. The prospect of an era of surpluses will generate a new dynamic as the prospect of relative abundance sparks demand for new initiatives.

What should the federal government do with its newfound abundance? The more relaxed fiscal con-straints will allow the Conservative government to go into an election year with a platform of initiatives funded from the growing surplus. Here are some candi-dates.

More money to pay the debt. This is a non-starter in an election year as the photo opportunities from govern-ments for paying down the debt are not the stuff elec-tion campaigns are made of. The federal debt to GDP ratio is below 35 per cent and a growing GDP erodes that share without paying down a dime of the debt. Moreover, interest rates are still low and public debt charges not an enormous burden on the government.

More money for the provinces. This is another non-starter. The federal government rarely gets credit for handing the provinces money to announce their own

new initiatives. Since 2005-06, federal transfers to the provinces and territories have grown by $23 billion but you would never know that from the lamentations of provincial premiers. The one area where one might have anticipated new money is health, given our aging populations. However, the federal government has already put those demands in abeyance by announcing that, after 2017, federal health transfers will grow at the rate of growth of GDP. Moreover, the provinces have access to as many revenue sources as Ottawa does and if they want to spend more they should simply raise their own tax rates - and take the heat for doing so.

More money for municipalities. This might have some traction given that money for new physical infra-structure generates ample venues for federal ministers to have their picture taken and optics are extremely important in an election year. On the other hand, our constitution makes municipalities creatures of the prov-inces. Why help the provinces indirectly if you are unwilling to help them directly?

More money for people. This is where the federal government will likely go and one can expect the gov-ernment to deliver on income splitting for couples with children under age 18. However, the real question is whether this is the best way to deliver tax relief? Should tax relief be targeted or broad based? Why income split-ting and not a reduction in income tax rates?

To the Editor:

“Privatization is not inherently good or bad – the performance or effec-tiveness depends on implementation.” That isn’t the type of rhetoric one might expect to hear when describing some-thing as polarizing as privatization, but it is one of the conclusions from the Urban Institute. Variants of that same phrase have been written by Leonard Gilroy of the Reason Foundation and Harvard privatization expert John Donahue. Despite the divide among politicians and activists, scholars who investigate the nuts and bolts of privatization recognize that, like any tool, priva-tization can make a mess if used for the wrong job. It can also help provide better and more efficient services when used for the right job. As we fur-ther our understanding of when and how privati-zation and public-private partnerships are succeed, we will see less and less failure if we have the right institutions. Chicago provides some useful lessons in how privatization can succeed or fail depending on implementation and con-text.

Chicago has experi-mented with privatiza-tion more than most cit-

ies. One can debate why that might be, but it pro-vides us with examples of success, failure, and everything between. The most notable failure was the City’s attempt to privatize municipal park-ing meters. The agree-ment was pushed through City Council hastily, and it was later determined that the contractor under-paid by a factor of 10. The terms of the contract are completely unreasonable. The City guaranteed the contractor daily revenue for each stall even if they remain unoccupied. During major events that require shutting down streets, the City must issue significant compen-sation to the contractor. This example highlights the perils of a poor ten-dering process.

By contrast, the City’s “street furniture” agree-ment has been quite suc-cessful. The 20 year agreement required the contractor to install thou-sands of modern bus shel-ters, newsstands, and kiosks, while paying the city $307 million over the term. In exchange, the contractor is able to use those shelters for adver-tising and the kiosks to sell concessions. This agreement turned the City’s sidewalks into a revenue stream rather than a cost while actually increasing the available

amenities. This is an example of a well-con-ceived and executed privatization plan.

Policy experimenta-tion such as privatization can also have spillover benefits for other munici-palities by establishing best practices. The street furniture agreement has been so successful that Washington, Phil adel-phia, Albuquerque, and San Diego have followed suit. By the same token, the examples of failures can show other cities what types of projects to avoid, or what specific types of approaches.

Several provincial gov-ernments, recognizing the potential benefits and pitfalls of increasing pri-vate involvement in infra-structure, have estab-lished specific depart-ments tasked with evalu-ating projects for poten-tial public-private part-nerships. P3s aren’t quite the same as privatiza-tion, but the level of due diligence required is sim-ilar. Organizations such as Partnerships BC have the expertise to identify opportunities and avoid pitfalls. Experts have observed that these insti-tutions have learned les-sons from previous P3s and have successfully refined their processes to harness best practices. While municipalities might not have the capac-

ity to create such units, provincial governments should all have similar departments to help municipalities navigate the complexities of ten-dering.

Some politicians who are ideologically opposed to privatization might balk at creating such institutions, doing so would actually be a stra-tegic means of preventing municipalities from entering into ill-conceived privatization or public-private partnership arrangements. It would also likely lead them to enter into more success-ful arrangements. That might irk some ideo-logues, but providing bet-ter services more effi-ciently to residents should be a top priority for poli-ticians. Most residents care more about the qual-ity and cost of services than how they are financed.

Rather than latching onto specific instances in an attempt to boost or discredit privatization, we should see privatiza-tion for what it is: a tool that is appropriate in cer-tain situations. The debate shouldn’t be over whether to use privatiza-tion or P3s, but when and how.

To the Editor:

More housing options which are afford-able to Canadians are needed to help grow local economies, attract new workers and meet the needs of vulnerable Canadians, stated the members of the National Forum on Housing and the Economy at the launch of the Forum today.

The Forum consists of national business groups, not-for-profit, industry and profes-sional associations and local governments. The Forum endorsed shared principles for achieving lasting improvements in Canada’s housing system and is encouraging all orders of government to work with major stakeholders in the housing sector to imple-ment these principles.

The housing sector represents 20% of Canada’s GDP. However, record levels of household debt and high home ownership costs are keeping many Canadians out of the homeownership market, especially young people. Our rapidly aging population will also require attention to meet the hous-ing needs of Canada’s seniors. Construction of new purpose-built rental has been limit-ed in relation to demand, reducing rental options that Canadians can afford, and restricting labour mobility. At the same time, federal operating agreements that provide $1.7 billion in annual social hous-ing funding have begun to expire, putting a deep strain on the low-income households who live in social housing, while over 200,000 Canadians experience homeless-ness every year at a cost of upwards of $7 billion to the economy.

Without leadership from all orders of government and a long-term plan to address the current housing affordability challenges and future housing needs, Canada’s hous-ing sector will likely become more expen-sive for Canadians and less responsive to the needs of the national economy. In their shared statement of principles, Forum members agreed that a long-term plan should:

1) Protect at-risk households living in social housing, and innovate in making fed-eral

investments in Canada’s social housing;2) Preserve and add to Canada’s rental

housing stock including private, non-profit and co- operative rental housing;

3) Improve opportunities for homeown-ership for the next generation of potential

homeowners; and4) Reduce homelessness. The Forum is looking to the up-coming

federal budget to implement solutions to Canada’s housing affordability challenges which are impacting households across the housing spectrum. The NFHE was estab-lished by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in partnership with national not-for-profit, industry and profes-sional associations and business groups as an information-sharing resource for the housing sector and policy makers so that they may better address the challenges fac-ing Canada’s housing sector.

Affordable housing most needed

“Privatization is Not Inherently Good or Bad”

To the Editor:

The recent Maclean’s cover story entitled Revenge of the Teenage Girl was too tempting not to read. No doubt they were publishing this in honour of the third International Day of the Girl taking place this Saturday, October 11th. How sur-prising then, to find that this day was not even mentioned in the arti-cle, not even once.

We’ll admit that, after reading the piece, we wondered if the Day was needed at all, as girls, led by ever-increasing numbers of celebrity feminists and corporations, seem to be doing very well indeed, thank you very much. No need for an International Day of the Girl to remind us of issues facing girls - they’re fast disappearing.

It’s true that girls in Canada have come a long way over the past two decades. But not all girls.

Immigrant and racialized girls, as well as Aboriginal, rural and LGBT girls still face significant challenges on a day-to-day basis. So do more mainstream girls, for that matter. While it’s always good prac-tice to stop and celebrate our achievements and accomplishments, we still have a long way to go to truly empower girls.

In actuality, the pressures facing girls and young women are becom-ing more numerous, more intense and more complex. Girls are dealing with expectations from home to excel academically and socially. They are subject to psychological and physical violence, as well as sexual harassment. They face new kinds of peer pressures - including online bullying, “sexting” and increasingly absurd standards of

bodily and beauty perfection. Many of these issues also intersect with one another, creating increasingly more complex challenges for girls’ mental health.

The non-profit organization, Girls’ Inc. coined the term “supergirl dilemma” in a 2006 report to describe the pressure on girls to be every-thing to everyone, all the time.

Although all these issues facing girls and young women deserve attention and action, on this year’s International Day of the Girl there are a couple of issues that deserve our targeted attention. Given the media attention on mental illness from recent high-profile suicides, perhaps girls’ mental health is the most urgent of these. A 2011 nation-al survey completed on Canada’s young people by the Public Health Agency of Canada reinforced this fact when it reported that girls con-sistently reported more negative emotional health outcomes than boys.

Boys and girls also respond to these emotional stresses in very dif-ferent ways. Boys are more likely to ‘act-out’ or externalize mental health issues, which often translates into higher rates of delinquency, sub-stance use, and gambling addic-tions. On the other hand, girls are more likely to ‘act-in’ or internalize mental health pressures. They report higher rates of depression, psychological distress, anxiety dis-orders and especially eating disor-ders.

With all the myriad messages bombarding young people, from media to parents to teachers and yes, even to well-meaning non-prof-its and government departments, it’s no wonder mental health out-

comes for girls are becoming news-worthy. In fact, a shocking report released last month by the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that the rate of hospitaliza-tion for preteen and teenage girls with eating disorders is dramatical-ly increasing.

But this is all just interesting information unless someone acts on it.

While activists, advocates, com-munity organizations, and ordinary citizens continue to work toward a better future for girls, can we take more immediate action to change the coping behaviours used by girls and young women as they meet life’s challenges?

The good news is that empower-ing programming that addresses girls’ mental health exists. They include supportive role models, com-munity engagement, and providing safer spaces in which girls can dis-cuss their experiences and discover that they are not facing these issues alone. They also encourage critical-thinking, which is the best tool a girl can gain as she uncovers hidden messages about what a girl should be.

So do Canadian teenage girls need to take revenge on society, as the Maclean’s headline hints? Some might argue “yes,” due to many past injustices. But isn’t it more impor-tant to look to the future than dwell on the past? To do this, let’s empow-er girls through gender-specific, diversity-sensitive programs to choose self-care over self-harm.

Mental health of girls needs attention


Time can place a person in its holding cellEd, my neighbor next

door, was held captive by too much time last week. He kept waiting to combine, but the time never came. His time passed, as if, he was stuck in a slough spin-ning his tires. My neigh-bor said that he doesn’t like that time keeps passing, without our house selling.

Apparently, he want-ed to celebrate its sale at his Thanksgiving din-ner but couldn’t. Ed claimed that, he could be fully thankful when he hadn’t completed his harvest yet, and his next door neighbor hadn’t moved. He told me that the time my house has been up for sale has been proof that God

doesn’t answer prayer. He said that every time he looks at the real estate sign, he whispers, “Take him away, Lord; we can spare him!”

I didn’t want to dis-courage Ed’s praying with the truth that,” A day is like a thousand years with the Lord, and a thousand years are like a day.” Time is mea-sured in days of twenty-four hours, but not all days are equal in length. Some days, do not have enough hours for what we want to get done, and other days drag on for an eternity. Few of us are content every day because the circum-stances of our days can vary greatly. Time may seem pleasant if we

have plenty and desper-ate if we are hungry with no hope of food to eat. It is easier to pass a day in good health than to struggle through a long day in pain. In West Africa, every day may be unending with dread of who will come down sick next, and suf-fer and die of the Ebola virus. Time passes and life can change for both

good and evil, a sticky blend of sweet and sour.

How can we be con-tent in all circumstanc-es? According to the Bible, our contentment is never based on our particular circumstanc-es. Our contentment is in God for He alone can fill us with peace that surpasses all under-standing. Paul suggests

we never forget that Jesus is at hand ready to return to earth. We are to live with a larger view than what is our present circumstance. Paul had a life where he experienced great bless-ing and great opposi-tion. He faced hunger and plenty; ship wrecks and beatings, hatred and imprisonment. Even facing death, his heart and mind were content and secure in Jesus Christ his Lord. Whatever he was endur-ing whether sweet or sour, he was strength-ened through Jesus. It was Paul who taught that we rejoice in the Lord, always, as we meet everything in thanksgiving and

prayer. For example, if we find we have a flat tire we give thanks for all the miles we have travelled without one. Jesus set an example of gentleness and consid-eration for others rather than himself . Contentment comes by focusing on God’s ways; love instead of hatred, pardon instead of inju-ry, hope instead of despair and the power of God’s forgiveness for our peace beyond our circumstances. Our thoughts determine our words and actions. Thinking about our good or bad circumstances is a dead end. Paul thought and said, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

International Credit Union day recognizedCornerstone Credit

Union, along with credit unions across our prov-ince, will celebrate International Credit Union Day on October 16, 2014 as part of National Co-op Week, October 13-19, 2014.

The credit union’s theme for Co-op Week is “Credit Unions, a world of possibilities…”. Cornerstone will be

hosting events in their communities to show the impact that credit unions have in their communities. “Our employees live, work, and volunteer here. What happens in our communities matters to us as a business and it matters to us as people,” says Kevin Lukey, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union. “Co-op Week

provides us with anoth-er opportunity to con-nect with our members, and celebrate the credit union difference.”

Credit unions consid-er Co-op Week as an opportunity to educate the public about the dif-ferences between credit unions and other finan-cial institutions. As true financial co-operatives, credit unions are demo-

cratically controlled, which means every member has a vote. Members can vote for and run for the board of directors and lead the strategic direction of their credit union.

“We have the right people and services to take care of all your financial needs, and decisions are made local,” said Kevin Lukey. “Our impact is local, which means funds on deposit are turned into loans within our regions, improving the commu-nities and the well-be-ing of the families, busi-nesses and individu-als.”

Credit unions give back to their communi-ties to an extent not possible for the private sector. This giving takes the form of patronage dividends to members, donations (both in kind and monetary) and vol-unteer hours to local charities and non-profit organizations. In 2013, Saskatchewan credit unions returned $16 million in patronage dividends to their mem-bers. Community giving amounted to over $6 million. Credit union fundraising brought in almost $300,000 for causes like the Children’s Hospital

Foundation of Saskatchewan, Red Cross Disaster Relief, Terry Fox Run and Telemiracle. Credit union employees logged nearly 35,000 hours of volunteer time for com-munity organizations.

Cornerstone Credit Union is one of 51 credit unions in Saskatchewan. These full service finan-cial institutions serve more than 490,000 members across the province. Saskatchewan credit unions build lives and fulfill dreams by helping members achieve financial well-being and by investing in their communities.

Co-operative weekproclaimed in province

The Government of Saskatchewan today proclaimed October 13-19 as Co-operatives Week in Saskatchewan.

“Saskatchewan is home to more than 1,200 co-operatives that are creating jobs, and providing important services to both rural and urban communi-ties,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “They are an important part-ner in our economic

growth and are helping to make this province the best place to live, work, invest and do business.”

A number of festivi-ties will be held across the province to help cel-ebrate the week, includ-ing a flag raising cere-mony and the S a s k a t c h e w a n Co-operative Merit Awards, which recog-nizes individuals and organizations that have

made an exceptional impact to co-ops and credit unions in the province.

With 344,000 active members, co-operatives employ close to 15,000 p e o p l e i n Saskatchewan. In 2014, there were 23 co-opera-tives on the list of Saskatchewan’s Top 100 Businesses, with F e d e r a t e d Co-operatives Limited placing first overall.

Why wait for influenza immunizationInfluenza immuniza-

tion clinics began in Sunrise Health Region on October 14, 2014. This week a complete listing of influenza clin-ics is being delivered to every home mailbox in the region. A total of 96 clinics are planned in Sunrise Health Region with clinics being held in 36 communities from October to December.

On average, each year 30 to 40 people in Saskatchewan die from complications related to influenza.

“Influenza can be deadly for anybody, especially for children under 5, those aged 65 years and above, those with chronic diseases and pregnant women,” says Medical Health Officer, Dr. Mandiangu Nsungu. “The exact

timing for arrival of influenza in our com-munities is unpredict-able, which is why this year our theme in Sunrise Health Region is “Why Wait?” espe-cially when we know that it takes between 10 to 14 days after immunization to build immunity.”

Last year the H1N1 strain of influenza emerged late in the season and a last min-ute rush of people want-ing the vaccine lead to long lineups and diffi-culties getting the vac-cine to people. Influenza viruses tend to mutate into new forms and the vaccine is adjusted each year to provide new protection which is one of the reasons why annual immunization is recommended.

“The vaccine at this year’s clinics was spe-cifically developed to provide protection for the influenza viruses that are expected to be a problem this year, and again includes

H1N1,” says Nsungu.The injectable vac-

cine contains no live virus and cannot cause influenza illness. The injectable vaccine con-tains only the parts of the virus which trigger a person’s immune sys-tem to produce antibod-ies. A public health nurse at each of the clinics will ask a series of questions to screen for the very few people who cannot be immu-nized because of unique circumstances. When attending the clinics, people are encouraged to wear a short sleeved shirt and will need their Saskatchewan Health Card.

When influenza ill-ness begins to appear in our communities, visitors to health care facilities will see more

people wearing masks. All health regions in Saskatchewan are adopting a policy of health care staff having the option to either get the influenza vaccine or wear a mask in patient and client care areas during flu sea-son. Visitors to health facilities will also be asked to wear a mask, if they have not been immunized.

www.SunriseHealth Region.sk.ca

“While wearing a mask along with other measures like frequent hand washing will help reduce the spread of ill-ness,” adds Dr. Nsungu, “Being immunized annually and early is your best option to avoid serious illness during the influenza season.”

The listing of influ-enza immunization clinics in Sunrise Health Region clinics can be found on the region website and by dialing 811 for Healthline. Daily clinic

locations are also post-ed on Twitter @

SunriseRegion and are recorded on the Sunrise

Daily Information Update Line, which can

be called toll-free at 1-866-800-5510.

“Influenza can be deadly for anybody, especially for children

under 5, those aged 65 years and above, those with chronic diseases

and pregnant women,” – Medical Health Officer, Dr.

Mandiangu Nsungu.

Moist conditions concern for livestock grazingMore and more cat-

tle producers are using fall and winter grazing to extend the grazing season, and for good reason. This manage-ment practice is a cost-effective option that reduces labour require-ments and can keep livestock out of the cor-rals until just before calving season. Maximizing forage yield while maintain-ing forage quality is the goal for most pro-ducers. However, one area that is commonly overlooked is that of plant disease and the effects that mycotoxins can have on grazing livestock.

Crop disease is largely dependent on the weather conditions and for that reason it is very hard to man-

age. Cool and moist conditions when cereal crops were flowering has resulted in an increase of crop dis-ease, particularly fusarium and ergot. Mycotoxins can be quite harmful to live-stock, and while rumi-nants are generally more tolerant to myco-toxins than other live-stock species, they are still at risk.

Fusarium will pro-duce a several differ-ent toxins, including vomitoxin, zearale-none, and fumonisins. Each of these toxins will cause negative effects on beef cattle if present in high enough concentrations. The effects of each com-pound differ slightly but can be character-ized by a reduction in

feed intake, reduced growth and perfor-mance, suppressed immunity, and poten-tial fertility issues such as disrupted breeding cycles and abortion. If any of these toxins are at levels of 5 ppm or higher, feeding man-agement is necessary to avoid possible toxic-ity. It is important to note that straw from fusarium infected cere-al crops will also con-tain the associated mycotoxins and can become an issue if cat-tle are consuming it.

When fusarium is present, it is more like-ly that other mould metabolites may also be present in Western Canadian cereal crops, for example aflatoxin and ochratoxin. These toxins can become more

concentrated in stored feed, especially if mois-ture levels are elevat-ed. Cattle consuming feed with aflatoxin may develop a sup-pressed immunity which could cause vac-cines to fail. Moderate levels of ochratoxin can be broken down in the rumen and is of lesser concern for healthy cattle. However, it is a suspected carcinogen and can lead to liver and kidney damage, as well as abortions, if large amounts are con-sumed.

The incidence of ergot has been steadily increasing in recent years, and this year is no different. Most cere-al crops and grass spe-cies are susceptible to ergot and for this rea-son both grain and for-

ages should be consid-ered for possible infec-tion. Very few ergot bodies are needed to harm livestock as deaths related to ergot poisoning have been observed with as little as 0.04% in the diet by weight. Symptoms include depressed feed intake, reduced milk production, lack of blood flow to extremi-ties resulting in the loss of ears, tails, and hooves, and eventually death.

If conditions remain wet through the fall, forage set aside for fall grazing will be more likely to become mouldy. This is espe-cially true for crops lying in the field des-tined for swath graz-ing, although standing forage, hay and green

feed should not be overlooked. Producers should have their feed tested for mycotoxins if they suspect mould may be present. With the exception of ergot, contaminated feed can usually be diluted and fed provided a feed test is completed and myco-toxins levels are known, though feeding mouldy feedstuffs to pregnant cattle is not recommended.

New home for Rail City will benefit manyA former retail store

will soon be converted to a day program facil-ity that will benefit 36 people with intellectu-al disabilities in Melville and the sur-rounding area.

Melville-Saltcoats MLA Bob Bjornerud, on behalf of Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer, was joined by Melville Mayor Walter Streelasky and other dignitaries to officially mark the start of reno-

vations for Rail City Industry’s (RCI) future facility.

The province invest-ed $750,000 in capital funding, in addition to approving a mortgage of up to nearly $843,000 for the proj-ect.

“Our government’s investment will pro-vide RCI with the capacity and program staff to expand pro-gramming, and con-tinue to support indi-viduals with emerging

needs, both now and into the future,” Bjornerud said. “Communi ty -based organizations like RCI play a valuable role in supporting individuals with intellectual dis-abilities to be included in their community and our government’s goal of making Saskatchewan the best place to live in Canada for people with dis-abilities.”

Once renovations are complete, the 7,190

square foot (667 square metres) facility will feature a developmen-tal and activity area, a commercial kitchen, and a supportive liv-ing program. The total square footage of the entire building is 12,100 (1,124 square metres), which could be considered for future expansion. Rail City Industries will continue to utilize their existing building in Melville for their SARCAN depot and

paper recycling pro-grams.

“We are very excited and eagerly anticipat-ing the move into our new facility,” Rail City Industries CEO Sue Sparrow said. “This investment will enable us to meet existing and emerging support requirements for peo-ple with disabilities in a safe, secure and healthy environment. Furthermore, being located in the heart of the community will greatly assist us in fulfilling our mission to support persons with disabilities to live as inclusive, valued and contributing mem-bers of the communi-ty.”

RCI has been sup-porting individuals with intellectual dis-abilities since their incorporation on July 7, 1980. The organiza-

tion provides both res-idential and day pro-gram support for approximately 45 indi-viduals with intellec-tual disabilities within the Melville area. RCI also owns and oper-ates four group homes, a day program, SARCAN and a recy-cling program.

SHUFFLEBOARD – Doug and Marlene Cowling recently represented Team Canada West at the 33rd annual International Shuffleboard World Championships in Midland, Ontario from August 11-15. Marlene won a gold medal in the women’s team competition while husband Doug finished sixth in the men’s competition. The two competed against other athletes from eight different countries.

Time to celebrate women in sportWomen’s History

Month, celebrated each year in October, marks the anniversa-ry of the “Persons Case” of 1929, in which Canadian women were formally recognized as “persons” under the law. In Saskatchewan, we are taking the opportunity through-out the month to cele-brate the historical gains for women and girls to participate fully in all athletic domains.

This year’s provin-c i a l t h e m e , “ S a s k a t c h e w a n Women in Sport,” pays tribute to the women who have achieved success in sport throughout the prov-ince’s history, and acknowledges their potential to influence and inspire new gen-erations of talented females in sport.

“ S a s k a t c h e w a n females in sport have not only demonstrated their ability to per-

form and succeed in high-level athletic competition, but they have also demonstrat-ed how these skills have contributed to their success beyond sport to serve as busi-ness and community leaders, coaches or directors on recreation boards,” Minister responsible for the Status of Women Donna Harpauer said. “Our government is proud to recognize the legacy of these inspi-

rational women, and to encourage other women and girls to reach for their dreams.”

“Like the status of Canadian women, female athletics has come a long way since the turn of the last century,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “Extraordinary women have been, and con-tinue to be, critical to the development of

sport in our province,” Sask Sport Inc. Volunteer President Jeff Herback said. “Many Saskatchewan women involved in sport have broken bar-riers, achieved nation-al and international success, and have become true role mod-els, leaders and build-ers for our province.

Throughout the month of October, in partnership with Sask Sport Inc., the Status of Women Office will

spotlight a series of Saskatchewan females in sport on the web-site at www.socialser-v ices .gov .sk .ca /swo covering the following themes:

Female leaders/builders in the sport community;

Aboriginal females in sport;

Youth females in sport;

Females in Para-sports; and

19+ females in sport.

Manufacturing month recognizes contributionManufacturing is

one of Saskatchewan’s flagship economic industries and, this Oc tober the Government of Saskatchewan along with Canadian Manufacturers and

Exporters (CME) is applauding the suc-cesses of producers from across the coun-try during National M a n u f a c t u r i n g Month.

“This month is a chance to recognize

the economic contribu-tions of all manufac-turers, but especially the almost 2,000 world-class companies that call this province home,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Manufacturing

is a $15.7 billion indus-try in this province that is not only help-ing to innovate for the future, but is creating good paying jobs and plenty of growth oppor-tunities right here in Saskatchewan.”

M a n u f a c t u r i n g accounts for $5.5 bil-lion in exports and contributes approxi-mately 6.0 per cent to the province’s GDP. In the 2013-14 provin-cial budget, the Government of

S a s k a t c h e w a n , through the Ministry of the Economy, com-mitted $500,000 toward the develop-ment of the S a s k a t c h e w a n Manufacturing Centre of Excellence.

“People are becom-ing aware of it because they are living it... People are telling their stories, we’re talking to single par-ents who can’t afford to work because they can’t afford child-care.”

The goal is to attract attention and awareness, Harrison

says, but they want to be the start of the pro-cess of people learn-ing more and getting more politically involved. She says people need to be vocal and put greater pres-sure on their elected officials.

“They need to talk to their MLAs and their MPs and ask them what their stance is, and how

they are going to make things better for them... Start pressur-ing them, start push-ing them to keep their promises and make them follow through.”

The tour for 2014 is close to wrapping up, and Harrison says at the end they will look at how effective it was before deciding wheth-er or not to continue into the future.

CANCER RESEARCH FUNDS – Yorkton Fire Fighters raised $1,135.00 for Breast Cancer Research at the pancake breakfast held in October to recognize fire pre-vention month. Accepting the cheque is Janet Sharpe from the Canadian Cancer Society.

RCMP safety initiativeFrom Friday,

October 10 thru Monday October 13, 2014, Saskatchewan RCMP detachments and traffic units were engaged in Operation Impact, a national campaign to make Canada’s roads safe.

RCMP members are always on the roads conducting enforce-ment and road safety initiatives. Long weekends can mean increased travel on roadways and Operation Impact tar-gets this in the hopes of minimizing the number of serious col-lisions and incidents

that can occur.Here are the charg-

es for offences over the course of Operation I m p a c t f o r Saskatchewan RCMP:

Alcohol Impaired Driving Charges: 69

Drug Impaired Driving Charges: 1

Suspensions: 16Distracted Driving

Charges: 24Aggressive Driving

Charges (Total): 965Speeding: 935Following Too

Close: 1Unsafe Lane

Changes: Pass on Right: 2Fail to Yield: 11Careless Driving:

23Seatbelt Related

Charges: 40Driving While

Prohibited: 48La Loche RCMP

used this weekend to increase awareness about children riding in vehicles while unre-strained. As a result, 5 tickets were issued for driving a vehicle with an unrestrained passenger under 16 years of age in the area.

Thank you to every-one for doing your part to make Saskatchewan’s roads safe.

GrowingAwarenessto Save Lives

In the battle against breastcancer, early detection is awoman’s most powerfulweapon. In fact, according to theNational Cancer Institute, whenbreast cancer is detected in anearly, localized stage, the five-yearsurvival rate is 98 percent. That’swhy it is so important for allwomen to make breast healthawareness a regular part of their healthcare routine.

Amammogram can detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages, and many major healthorganizations recommend annual mammogram screenings for women beginning at age 40 . Experts alsorecommend clinical breast exams and breast self-exams to check for breast abnormalities on a regular basis.

Any woman noticing unusual changes in her breasts should contact her healthcare provider immediately. Women ofall ages should speak to their doctor about his or her personalized recommendations for breast cancer screening.

Share the aware on Facebook and Twitter to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Share Tweets and posts fromfacebook.com/nameorg or @nameorg to help save lives with important screening information, healthy lifestyle tips, early detection guidelines and more.

SGI seeking public feedback on penaltiesSGI is asking for

public feedback on the Safe Driver Recognition (SDR) program. The public can share their views at www.sgi.sk.ca.

Under the SDR pro-gram, if you have a good driving record, you will be in the safety zone on SGI’s safety rating scale and earn a discount on your basic vehicle insurance. If you have at-fault crash-es or driving infractions on your record, you may find yourself in the pen-alty zone where you are assessed demerit points and financial penalties

for each chargeable incident you are involved in.

“We value custom-ers’ opinions and it’s important to get their input before updating the program,” said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. “SDR affects all drivers – they all get rated on the scale based on their driving history. So it’s important that we know if the program is still meeting their needs and whether they think any changes should be made.“

SGI is asking cus-tomers to consider:

• Increasing the financial penalty per demerit point (current-ly $25/point) – Initial feedback indicates cus-tomers want tougher penalties under SDR, but it’s unclear how much tougher of an increase to the finan-cial penalties custom-ers are comfortable with, and what they think of the correspond-ing impact on rates.

• Growing the maxi-mum discount, offset by harsher penalties (currently a maximum 20% discount) – Customers gave feed-back indicating they

would like a higher maximum discount. In order for SGI to offer this, the cost to provide the higher maximum must be offset by harsh-er penalties or higher base rates.

• Increasing the threshold for an at-fault crash to garner demerit points (cur-rently damage costs of $305 or more) – Customers and stake-holders like the Highway Traffic Board indicated they don’t believe a minor fender bender should make drivers lose the -6 points assigned to at-

fault crashes. Currently, any collision where the damage cost is less than $305 doesn’t result in any demerit points for the customer; how-ever, even very minor damage often exceeds that amount.

• Assigning demerit points to regular speed-ing tickets – Currently only more serious speeding offences (e.g., speeding in a school zone, speed too fast for conditions, speeding in excess of 35 km/h over the limit) make drivers lose points under SDR; regular speeding tick-ets aren’t assigned points. As speeding is one of the most - if not the most - common traf-fic offences, this would mean more customers would either lose part of their discount or face a financial penalty.

• Platinum zone – Customers that are at +11 or higher on the safety rating scale are

considered platinum customers. Their dis-count remains 20 per cent, but they have a cushion that shields them from the effects of future driving inci-dents. Currently the top end of the platinum zone is at +19 so cus-tomers can potentially have one at-fault acci-dent and one traffic offence before they start to lose part of their dis-count.

The consultation closes on Oct. 31, 2014. The information gath-ered will be used to make recommendations by the end of 2014.

The Safe Driver Recognition (SDR) pro-gram was launched in 2002 to recognize driv-ers with good driving records and give them some added incentive to keep their records safe, while offering a deterrent to those with bad driving histories.

Saskatchewan is leading the nation in job creation with the fastest rate of employ-ment growth and the lowest unemployment rate in Canada.

“Having a growing and robust economy has had a huge impact on the job front,” Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. “It is no surprise that Saskat chewan’s job growth rate is the best in the nation now, pro-viding more employ-ment opportunities to support and sustain strong economic momentum.”

Employment was up 3.5 per cent over last September (19,300 jobs), the highest growth rate in the nation. Nationally, jobs

were up 0.9 per cent. There were 574,800 people employed in Saskatchewan in September.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s unemployment rate in September 2014 was 3.5 per cent on a sea-sonally adjusted basis, the lowest among the provinces. This is well below the 6.8 per cent recorded nationally.

“Unemployment fig-ures have been consis-tently the lowest in Canada now for 22 months,” Harrison said. “Saskatchewan is the place to be if you are looking for work – full time jobs are on the rise – and jobs are available in every cor-ner of the province.”

Month-over-month, there were 7,000 more jobs in September than August (seasonally

adjusted), up 1.2 per cent, the second high-est growth rate among the provinces.

Other highlights:Regina’s unemploy-

ment rate was 2.8 per cent seasonally adjust-ed – the lowest among major Canadian cities. Saskatoon’s unemploy-ment rate was 4.2 per cent, the second low-est.

Youth unemploy-ment was 6.5 per cent seasonally adjusted, lowest in the country and well below the 13.5 per cent posted nation-ally.

Full-time employ-ment was up by 14,800 jobs (3.2 per cent) year-over-year. Part-time was up 4,600, 5.1 per cent.

There was strong growth in the goods-producing sector with

jobs up by 11,700 from last September with solid job gains in con-struction (+4,800), agri-culture (+3,800) and forestry, mining, oil and gas (+3,700).

Hospital RFP underwayThree qualified teams

will move forward to par-ticipate in the next stage of the competitive selec-tion process to build the new Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford – Integrated Correctional Facility. The new facili-ty will include a 188-bed replacement for the existing 156-bed Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford and a 96-room correctional facility.

Three teams respond-ed to the Province’s Reques t f o r Qualifications, which closed July 15, 2014. After evaluating the responses, the teams have been invited to move forward to the Request for Proposal stage:

Access Prairies Partnership;

Integrated Team Solutions; and

Plenary Health North Battleford LP.

“We are pleased with the qualifications and level of experience of the three teams that expressed an interest in the project,” SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant

said. “This is a unique project and the P3 model will deliver savings for taxpayers as well as additional value through innovations in design that couldn’t be achieved through a traditional approach. Moving for-ward with a Request for Proposal is the next step in the delivery of this very important facility.”

“This is an exciting step forward for the hos-pital project,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The new facility will better meet the needs of individuals with mental health issues.”

“This facility is an important addition to the province’s ability to provide programming to offenders with mental health issues,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell. “We are happy to be able to draw from a pool of skilled and experienced teams like these, and look forward to making a decision on this project.”

“This is great news for the community and an important step in deliv-ering a new facility that

will better meet the needs of people with mental health issues,” Prairie North Regional Health Authority CEO David Fan said. “I want to thank our patient and family representatives as well as the staff for their input in the design process. The new inte-grated facility will help ensure patients receive the care and support they need in a modern environment.”

The the new integrat-ed facility will be built on the existing hospital grounds near the current hospital building, mini-mizing disruption to patients during construc-tion. Programming and treatment for the two populations will be sepa-rate.

The project is a design-build-finance-maintain public-private partnership (P3) pro-curement model and a proponent is expected to be selected by summer 2015. Construction of the new facility is expect-ed to begin in summer 2015 with completion targeted for summer 2018.

Land and gas sales bring new revenues

With $21.6 million in revenue raised at S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s October sale of petro-leum and natural gas rights, total for the 2014 land sales are $179.6 million with one sale remaining.

Twenty-nine leases and two exploration licences located between Carnduff in the south and Moosomin to the north along the Manitoba border raised $10.4 million. This area is prospective for several targets, including the J u r a s s i c , Mississippian and Devonian.

“Industry has been

developing the Bakken-Three Forks play quite extensively on either side of the S a s k a t c h e w a n -Manitoba border for several years now, and the ongoing acqui-sition of oil and gas rights in that area bodes well for future economic activity in local communities,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.

The October sale saw the Weyburn-Estevan area receive the most bids with sales of $14.4 million. The Kindersley-Kerrobert area was next at $4.0 million, followed by the

Prairie Debut Presents Fung-Chiu Piano Duo, One Piano/Four Hands

A “Stars For Saskatchewan”

performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, November 1 at 7:30 p.m.

in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton

Regional High School. With their unique pro-

gramming and captivat-ing stage presence, the

Fung-Chiu Duo (Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu)

has quickly become one of Canada’s premiere piano

duos. The complicity between the Fung-Chui

Duo simply has to be seen and heard to be

believed. They breathe new life into orchestral masterpieces through their extraordinary

arrangements for one piano four hands, where the 100 musicians of the orchestra become 20 fin-

gers flying across the keyboard. They have effortless rapport, not just with one another,

but with their enthralled audiences. Fung and Chiu break down the “fourth wall” chatting

with the audience throughout the concert, telling stories and shar-ing insights… and often answering a few ques-tions about composers,

life on the road, and most importantly, Montreal

bagels. Tickets are avail-able at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722,

online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.

Things to consider before downsizing your homeThe decision to

downsize a home is of-ten bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so af-ter raising a family. A home might be fi lled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that fi nancial fl exibility of-ten allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.

But in spite of the fi nancial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The follow-ing are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a small-er home.

Real estate market

The real estate mar-ket can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sell-ers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fi ckle, so home-owners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current mar-ket make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes

in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not fl ush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can ex-pect from downsizing.

Furniture

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is un likely to fi t into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furni-ture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you pur-chased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your fi rst visit to the furniture store.

Another thing to consider regard-ing your furniture is which items you sim-ply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will

fi t into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only pos-sible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attach-ment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

Proximity to family

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to cul-ture and restaurants. While that accessibil-ity is great, grandpar-ents may fi nd that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandpar-ents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Be-fore downsizing, con-sider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still fi nd a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family mem-

bers.

Medical care

Many older men and women must also consider the ef-fect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physi-cian, and rural areas

typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visit-ing the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Con-sider how much main-taining your existing

relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medi-cal care you’re likely to need.

Downsizing a home is not just about mov-ing into a smaller prop-erty. To ensure you’re making the right de-cision, many factors must be considered be-fore downsizing.

OLDER COUPLES must consider a host of factors before deciding to downsizetheir homes.
