The York Lake Golf and Country Club has been alive for ninety years, but the past five have been the most dif-ficult that the course has ever faced. A dedicated group of volunteers is working to save the course, and are steadily working to rebuild it and bring it back to life.

Rick Schrader and Tom Seeley are two of the people dedicated to reviving the course. The course is entirely run by volunteers they empha-size, with no funding support from the city. Seeley says that’s what makes it a unique course, because it’s a course that does bring people together to com-plete projects and make it a place people want to golf.

“It’s a relaxed, family, fun kind of place... People pitch in and vol-unteer,” Seeley says.

The problems began on July 1, 2010, the flood that affected the Yorkton area hit York Lake hard, ruining the back nine. There was an attempt to

rebuild after, with the assumption that it was a single event, but the course was hit again in 2011. While there were two years to redo the drainage and make some headway, the course was hit again in 2014, right before plans to reseed the back nine were going to begin, which sent the course back to the draw-ing board.

“I’ve been golfing here for 40 years, and I’ve never seen water like there has been the past few years... It got whacked three times,” Seeley says.

Three separate floods to the back nine have done massive damage to the course’s finances, and they course was on the edge of being shut down.

“Right now, we’re sit-ting in a situation of dire straits, coming into April of 2015 the course was going to go under, it was going to shut down. Individuals stood up, got on the board, changed the paradigm,” Schrader says.

“It’s just through the tenacity and stubborn-ness of the people who

love this place that this thing is functioning. It’s just incredible that it’s still functioning given the adversity it has faced.”

The crisis has meant that the course had to take a different approach to getting back in the black and renew golf at York Lake. Current plans involve rebuilding three holes on the course, turning it from a nine hole course as it stands now into a twelve hole.

“The three holes that are going to be redevel-oped are the high holes that did not get water on them. But, because the rest of it was flooded they couldn’t be used. The golf course has a plan to integrate those high holes into the nine holes, and it will make a world of difference for the golf course. You can run bigger tournaments, you can maintain the thing on a nine hole course budget but have three extra holes,” Seeley says.

The move to nine holes is something that other courses in North America are doing,

Seeley adds, because it’s makes good sense for business as well as for the average golfer.

“Nine’s not enough, 18 is too many, it’s like the three little bears,” Schrader adds.

It’s not going to be easy to get the holes back in shape. They need water delivery to the holes, as well as to completely reseed them. There also need to be new paths made, because it’s a complete change in the way the course flows.

“A lot of it is labour, and out here we get a lot done by volunteer labour. So a lot of that can be done by the peo-ple who love this place with volunteer labour,” Seeley says.

The existing nine holes have also been improved, with better

drainage and new cart paths, which are signifi-cantly smoother than they used to be.

Keeping the dream alive requires a dedicat-ed group of volunteers, and a plan to keep the course viable, which they have. But it also requires money, and they’re holding a Keep the Dream Alive fall fun-draising dinner at the Painted Hand Casino on October 9. The Painted Hand CDC is also donat-ing the meals, so all funds raised will go directly to the course. Tickets are $50 for indi-viduals, and $400 for an eight seat corporate table. They are available by calling Judy at 306-782-6353 or Donna at 306-621-5694.

“It’s going to be a fun evening... The spring one was a lot of fun,

people had a great time,and they’ll have a great time at this one too,” says Seeley.

That great time is allin service of keeping the great times going at York Lake, and Schrader says that it’s worth thestruggle to keep the course going.

“Once you let these places go, they don’t come back,” Schrader says.

REBUILDING YORK LAKE will include rebuilding three holes from the back nine that were lost after flooding took out that part of the course. Rick Schrader shows what needs to be done, as the above is one of the tee boxes for the proposed rebuilt holes.

The Saskatchewan Air Monitoring Lab is a mobile monitoring sta-tion that can be moved around the province, and this month it can be spotted in Yorkton, behind the Water Treatment Plant.

Dr. Kevin McCullum, Chief Engineer with Saskatchewan Envi-ron ment, says that the lab has been used in studies around the province, and is now studying the Great Plains Air Zone to look at whether a perma-nent air monitoring station would make sense in the area.

“We thought if the weather holds out as it has been, we’ll have it parked out for a month or so, collect some valid data and see what’s going on in the commu-nity.”

The other reason is that the SAML can help them decide what air quality measure-

ments are relevant to the area if permanent monitoring is recom-mended.

“The SAML itself is able to monitor quite a few parameters, we can do everything from ozone, nitrogen spe-cies, sulpur species, the hydrogen sulphide, particulate matter, and all of our meteorologi-cal data... Putting it out there gives us the ability to monitor a broad swath, and if there’s a particular part of interest we can look at the air zone bringing in a new mon-itor that, say, focuses in on sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, or ozone and particulate matter, things like that.”

There are currently five monitoring sta-tions run by the gov-ernment, but a total of 18 stations through the air zones in the prov-ince.

They’re all tied together in order to get a picture of what is

going on in the prov-ince, McCullum explains.

This summer provid-ed a demonstration of the value of having an extensive air monitor-ing network in place, because the many sta-tion gave a picture of what the particulate matter in the air was doing.

McCullum says that the monitoring is how we get a good idea of what is happening in the atmosphere.

“It was interesting this year with the wild-fires, because we were able to look at all of the plumes with the sites throughout the prov-ince. It was nice to see if it was coming from the north down south, was it coming from the west from the fires out in BC, it was good to identify some of that with all the extra moni-toring that is in place.”

Typically the data is arranged in month-long chunks, and McCullum says that they will decide more once they have a chance to examine the data collected in the city.

Saskatchewan Air Monitoring Lab in city

THE SASKATCHEWAN AIR MONITORING LAB was in Yorkton recently, as the Great Plains Air Zone examines locations for permanent monitoring stations in the area.

SUPPORTING HEALTH – Canadian Tire in Yorkton has been a long time sup-porter of the Health Foundation in the city, and have contributed to $7,500 to the CT Scanner campaign. David Dungey, store owner (right), says that they want to support health care in the community, so they try to contribute to the different events and campaigns the Health Foundation does. Ross Fisher, executive direc-tor of the Health Foundation (left), thanks Canadian Tire for their support, saying that businesses like theirs are always an important part of buying new equipment for the region. The CT campaign is two thirds complete, says Fisher, and they hope to be able to order the equipment by the end of November.


The Green Party has long been the scrappy under-dog in Canadian federal politics. They’re only invited to the occasional leader’s debate, and they only win seats very rarely, but they’re still there, making their presence known and pushing their issues to the fore-front. Hanging around Twitter while the rest of the parties actually get to debate is hardly ideal, but they’re still doing what they can.

As the scrappy underdog, they are not going to have the same campaign budget as the other parties. While the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP can hire expensive campaign advisors, graphic designers and all that fun stuff. This is obvious when you drive down the highway and see their respective campaign signs. The three big parties have signs with nice, easy to read bold fonts, eye catching colour combinations, everything you need to have a good sign. You’ll know immediately who is running and which banner they’re running under. You won’t know much beyond that, but you’re also driving at 100 km/h so you can’t do light reading about politics anyway.

The Green Party, by contrast, cannot afford the same level of graphic design as everyone else. They cannot afford the same number of signs overall, but that’s not really a big deal, just a few well placed ones

and you remind voters that the Green Party exists, and they can vote for it if they want. However, the Green Party has made a major mistake in their sign strategy, because their signs are absolutely terrible.

The first time I saw one, it was outside a field near Theodore. I initially thought it was advertising a seed treatment that was used on the field, rather than a political party that was running for election. I don’t even know what made me give it a second look, but it took a while before I realized what was going on. It was probably made of nice, kind recycled materials and used less ink than everyone else, because it’s the Green Party, but the sign itself was a bit of a waste because it was useless.

First problem, it’s light green on white, which it

turns out is very difficult to actually read when you’re driving by. Second problem, the font is very small, which is also difficult to read in only a few seconds. Third, it kind of looks like the signs that the great enemy of the Green Party, Monsanto, might use to advertise their new varieties of crops. You’re not going to mistake the signs of anyone else for anything but a political sign, but the Green Party could be advertising anything, especially since you can’t really read them.

Since the party can’t actually afford a good graph-ic designer, I will give them some free advice for next time, so they manage to get at least something pre-sentable out there. Step one, pick a nice shade of green, not too light, maybe just a couple shades off of actual street signs. Given that it’s the Green Party they will want to find a green that is made of environ-mentally friendly ink, but that exists. Second, pick a nice bold font, it doesn’t matter which one but it should be easy to read at a glance. Third, put the name of the candidate in the bold font on the green background, and there you go. It’s what everyone else does because it’s what works, and while I respect the party for going a different way, in this case the scrap-py underdog should look to the big ones.

Thomson runs from his prairie record

Tonight is the Yorkton-Melville federal election all candidates meeting at the Gallagher Centre.

As electors, this is our one, and only, opportu-nity to see the parliamentary hopefuls in the same room at the same time.

And, it is a reminder of time gone by. At one time, this would have been a seminal event in the election calendar. The whole town would have come out and we would have learned what these individuals were all about.

After all, that is how our system was designed. Voters in the ridings elected a representative to air the views of the constituency in Ottawa. Unlike our cousins south of the border, we do not directly elect the head of our government.

But elections have changed. A lot of this has to do with technology. TV brought the party leaders, the potential prime ministers, into our homes. Airplanes allowed the leaders the unprecedented freedom to be in Halifax in the morning, Toronto in the afternoon and Vancouver in the evening.

In the current election, the cult of the leader is perhaps greater than it has been at any time in history. the current prime minister, Stephen Harper, is an extremely divisive character. Despite all of his warts, his base is as solid as it gets. His opponents hate him to an equal degree that his supporters love him.

Thus, this campaign has become all about who will be the next prime minister.

That is a shame, because there are 338 seats in the House of Commons that have to be filled. One of them will be taken by one of the four people who will be on stage tonight at Gallagher

There are plenty of reasons why one might expect the turnout to be, shall we say, less than great. Locally, there is a feeling that Cathay Wagantall, the Conservative, is going to waltz to an easy victory, that Yorkton-Melville is as strong a stronghold as strongholds get.

We are also unlikely to hear anything tonight that we have not already heard from Stephen Harper, Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau. For better or worse, all of the parties, with the possible excep-tion of the Green Party, are exercising pretty tight message control.

And finally, voter apathy is simply high and has been for some time.

That is an appalling reality because this event this evening is about no less than our democracy. We do have a choice to make and that choice is not for prime minister. It is for effective representation of Yorkton-Melville.

Four people have put their names forward and that is nothing to take for granted. Cathay Wagantall, Doug Ottenbreit, Brooke Malinoski and Elaine Hughes have, at great personal sacrifice,

They deserve to have an audience. They deserve to have an opportunity to make their case for why they should be headed to Ottawa October 20.

We do have a choice. Our democracy depends on it.

This column was originally printed in the National Post on Sept. 25, 2015

There’s a very good chance Andrew Thomson will be finance minister if the NDP wins the election. Mr. Thomson served as Saskatchewan’s finance minister just before the NDP lost power in that province. In a party short on governing expertise, Mr. Thomson stands tall.

“Andrew has the experience and strong fiscal record that Ottawa needs,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.

But there’s a problem with that narrative. Mr. Thomson’s “strong fiscal record” is built slashing corporate tax rates. Mr. Mulcair, on the other hand, is running in the opposite direction and promising to raise federal corporate taxes from 15 per cent to as much as 17.5 per cent.

Mr. Mulcair should consider the track record of his star candidate.

As Saskatchewan finance minister, Mr. Thomson’s 2006-07 budget announced that the provincial corporate tax rate would plummet from 17 per cent to 12 per cent.

“These business tax cuts will help build a better future, by making our economy more competitive, and by encouraging business to invest more and create new jobs right here at home,” said Mr. Thomson in his budget speech.

The corporate tax cuts did indeed build a better future for Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan NDP was swept from power in 2007, but Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party continued to lower taxes. While Mr. Wall’s tax cuts and high commodity prices certainly deserve a great deal of credit for Saskatchewan’s boom, Mr. Thomson’s tax cuts also played a significant role. And the results were undeniable as Saskatchewan began to lead the country in economic growth and employment.

Here’s the remarkable thing: cutting taxes didn’t just help

businesses and families, it also filled the province’s coffers.Saskatchewan collected $392 million in corporate taxes in

2005-06 before the rates began to fall.By the middle of 2008-09, Saskatchewan’s corporate tax

rate was all the way down to 12 per cent, but the government’s total take was higher with $593.5 million in corporate taxes.

Over the next two years, Saskatchewan’s corporate tax rev-enue soared to $880.2 million and then $1.15 billion.

Saskatchewan’s GDP grew by about 60 per cent from 2006 to 2011. The province’s corporate tax take soared by nearly 168 per cent during that same period (adjusted for inflation). As a share of GDP, Saskatchewan’s corporate tax revenues went from 0.98 per cent to 1.63 per cent.

Mr. Thomson did indeed make corporations pay their fair share he did it by cutting their tax rate. The corporate tax cuts were not the only factor in Saskatchewan’s boom, but they are clearly the strongest point on Mr. Thomson’s resume as the province’s finance minister.

Signatories of the Leap Manifesto are no doubt worried about Mr. Thomson. Will an NDP government really make corporations pay their “fair share” or will it follow a Harper-lite course as the Liberals insinuate?

For his part, Mr. Thomson his working hard to quiet those internal concerns when questioned about his tax cutting record.

Back in Mr. Thomson’s homeland of Saskatchewan, that comment is prompting furrowed brows. People change when they move away, but it’s concerning to see Mr. Thomson repudiate a record of which he should be proud. Hopefully Mr. Thomson will come home for Thanksgiving and see the success-ful Saskatchewan he and his tax cuts helped build.

Things I do with words...

To the Editor:

The government of Canada announced yesterday a $4.3 bil-lion bailout package as “compensation” for the dairy, egg and poultry industry to deal with the impacts of the new Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Today, the Conservative Party promised $1 billion in corporate welfare for the auto sector.

“The CTF fully sup-ports the TPP and believes that fewer trade barriers and access to bigger mar-kets benefits the over-whelming majority of Canadians,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “What

we oppose is using tax-payer dollars to buy off favoured sectors. These handouts to spe-cial interests are not required by the TPP itself – they simply punish taxpayers.”

The CTF is also critical of promises of additional corporate welfare from all three major parties – spe-cifically the $1 billion Conservative prom-ise to the auto indus-try, the $400 million Liberal promise to “invest in clean-tech production” and the $400 million NDP promise of “auto and aerospace strategies.”

“Make no mistake, these promises have nothing to do with sound economics or

business decisions and everything to do with cynical political pandering,” continued Wudrick. “Entrenched special interests with loud lobbyists in pet industries receive bil-lions, while the vast majority of Canadians work in businesses that face the reality of competitive mar-kets every single day – without any govern-ment coddling.”

Wudrick also noted that continuing to sub-sidize failing, ineffi-cient industries runs counter to one of the primary benefits of the TPP, which is to bring lower prices to all Canadians.

“This govern-ment clearly under-

stands the benefits of free trade, yet these handouts undermine those very benefits. Whatever consumers save at the cash regis-ter, they simply end up paying as a tax-payer instead,” stated Wudrick. “In the vast majority of industries, governments do not step in to say ‘if your profits go down, we will just give you taxpayer dollars to make up the difference.’ Forcing all Canadians to subsidize businesses that can-not stand on their own two feet is wasteful, inefficient and morally wrong.”

To the Editor:

Wow when I woke up this morning and turned on the radio it reminded me that we are two weeks away from our federal election! Really, I didn’t think the day would ever come, especially since our present Prime Minister has utilized U.S. Strategists to run a US style very expensive elec-tion campaign. Or was that not the plan all along, run a 3 month campaign so you can spend spend spend and hopefully totally confuse the electorate by election day so they vote for you again.

Well I for one am not confused, I do know that a reelected Conservative or Liberal federal govern-ment means NO CHANGE with our “slush fund run, useless Senate”. You see Mr Harper can stand in front and lie all he wants but the bottom line is he campaigned for years on a triple E senate, only to turn the senate into a total joke. Remember those that are in court now or are under suspect were almost all appointed by PM Stephen Harper. Can any of you out there not think of a better use for the billions of dollars that have been wasted by keeping this useless institution in Place? And I’m only refer-ring to the money that we know about, obviously Mr. Harper and his cronies know about much more, but have chosen not to tell us everything. The ques-tion still remains why have Mr. Harper’s personal and most closely appointed advisers, under oath all told a different story, but yet left the public believing that Mr. Harper knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes. Think about that when you vote! Lastly on the Senate issue, why did the Premier of Saskatchewan when pushed by the PM stand up and say that Harper’s plan of not appointing any more Senators will solve this problem. Our Premier knows that Sask people are almost universal in opposition to the Senate. What plum was he promised for this about face.

AGRICULTURE: After 40 years of being not only a farmer but also a very strong activist for farmers, I am shocked how little is being said about one of Canada’s resources. Please remem-ber individual farmers rights were always being protected in the past by a strong Canadian Grains Commission, and a worldly respected Canadian Wheat Board. But don’t ever forget it was Harper’s front and center dream to gut both of those insti-tutions. The CWB was taken from farmers when Harper fired the Farmer elected board of Directors and appointed his yes men so it could be changed and then given away to a multinational, I always wonder out loud if Mr. Harper and Ag Minister Ritz both thought this is what farmers wanted why didn’t they subject that decision to a vote as was promised? Also if not selling the remains of the CWB to a organized group of Canadian farmers but instead giving away the assets and knowledge base, with no returns to those who built and paid for it, Western Canadian Farmers! If all this was the right decision for Harper and company why did the announcement of the sale happen quietly on the Friday afternoon prior to the election call? If that decision was so right, where is my share of what I paid for? And how much did this foreign multinational based out of Argentine (who was a major buyer of CWB grains) pay for my CWB? And what rules or lack of them (like the Senate of Canada) will they be allowed to operate in our country?

Woman’s rights: I know I can go on but I wouldn’t, I will however point out one more glar-ing fact about Mr. Harper’s followers. We all know how Mr Harper avoids issues in a elec-tion Campaign then he does an about face if he gets a Majority government. I wonder how many woman out there realize that a growing and scary number of Conservative candidates have openly signed on a said that woman do not have the rights to there reproductive capabilities. In fact in Saskatchewan with only 14 ridings, a scary num-ber of 10 Conservative Candidates have openly said that woman have not got the rights to there repro-ductive bodies but they in Government do! Scary isn’t it? Are you sure these people should be allowed to govern anymore? I know I don’t and I do plan on voting on October 19 for a better Canada.

It is not news that Alberta is seeking to diversify its economy. It has been seeking to do so for some time, and with some success.

It has embraced the forest sector, supported the growth of information and communications technology (ICT) and has spurred the growth of the bio-economy, nanotechnology and genomics. Alberta also has a vibrant agricul-ture sector, a strong construction and retail sector, a growing and creative culture and design sector and a world-class education sys-tem. The energy sector, of course, still dominates.

But when comparing our advantage - with other jurisdic-tions, we could do much more. Canada is 15th, and falling, in competitiveness in the world. We have infrastructure deficits (the need to add capacity and strength-en infrastructure to account for population growth), productivity challenges and access to capital issues. More critically, Canada in general, and Alberta in particular, need to strengthen the adaptive capacity of firms - their ability to adopt and adapt with new tech-nology, new business processes and new ways of managing value and supply chains.

Innovation is difficult for small firms even though they form the backbone of the economy. They represent 95 per cent of firms in Alberta, employ 35 per cent of all private sector employees and contribute 25 per cent of Alberta’s GDP. And yet, they tend to be led by product specialists, have weak financial and marketing skills and are “in a grove” for their develop-ment.

In the ICT sector, for example, most small firms seek to grow their business to a point at which a larger firm will buy it so that

the founders can exit the business with cash in their pocket. It is a similar story in other sectors.

The province does a lot to sup-port innovation in companies - vouchers, grants for marketing and scientific support, technologic-al support for product develop-ment, support for business process improvement and productivity gains, and serious investments in new technologies. There are also a number of venture capital and angel groups willing to support small- and medium-sized busi-nesses. Despite the constant cry that there is poor access to cap-ital for innovators, venture capital investors suggest that the issue is much more about the quality of deals and the lack of mentored leadership.

The wrong measures of innova-tion can lead to a waste of money, time and energy. Patent filings are a good example. Most patents are worth very little in terms of jobs created and revenue earned. The cost of filing and securing a patent often exceeds its value.

When the issue of patents was reviewed by the Government of Alberta in 2007, one respondent said, “If the value of the product being protected is less than the cost of having to defend a patent against pirates then the patent is not worth the effort.”

Indeed, research councils have agreed that the research commun-ity needs to move toward much more openness about discovery and innovation. Researchers should be required to make their research freely available after a year of publication in peer review journals. The thinking is that pub-licly funded research belongs to the people, not the researcher.

The key measures for innova-tion should focus on outcomes and

impacts, not process. The number of new products in the market-place; local, regional, national and international sales; the num-ber of jobs created as a result of innovation investments; new business partnerships leading to sales; product refinements leading to increased sales and shortened time to market for new products are all measures that matter.

More significantly, we need to see more gazelles - high-growth companies that increase revenues from sales by at least 20 per cent annually for four years or more, starting from a revenue base of at least $1 million. Too many meas-ures of innovation focus on “soft” measures (e.g. number of patents, number of start-ups and spin-offs) rather than the hard measures of sales growth and employment.

The role of government in stimulating innovation is import-ant but it is not the driver. What matters is the ratio of public/private investment. In high per-forming jurisdictions, a ratio of $3 private funds to $1 of public funds produces the highest returns from innovation. In Alberta, it is more likely that these numbers are closer to $3 of public funds to $1 of private investment.

Innovation is a complicated business. How we think about it makes a difference to the outcome of innovation investments. If we are serious about diversifying the economy, we need to rethink how we measure innovative activity in Alberta.

Saluting SurvivorsEncouraging AwarenessRemembering Loved Ones

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

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

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.

As we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we remember the women who havelost their lives to the disease, and we voice our support for those in the fight of their lives.

We are in the middle of the couple of weeks each month when the Moon either sets early or rises late, and is there-fore not readily visible. We are also in a bit of a lull in bright shiny things to view, with all the plan-ets hiding away. To the casual sky watcher, once darkness sets in these October evenings, there appears to be little but a bunch of stars to look at.

Well, everything’s there if you know when to look. The problem is that we waste so much of our night hours sleeping. In truth, our solar sys-

tem is visible in its entirety a lot of the time, but not necessarily in Prime Time when it’s convenient to us. Were you to step outside just after sunset tonight, you could have the full mara-thon tour. Bring a blan-ket and lots of coffee.

First of all, Saturn is still hanging on just above the western hori-zon after sunset, setting about two hours after the Sun.

Moving west, former planet Pluto and real planets Neptune and Uranus are currently lined up across the south-

ern sky, available for viewing but in increasing order of difficulty and equipment requirements. Binoculars, telescope and amateur astronomer needed for these.

Now, the easy stuff. Our sister planet Venus

rises about 3 a.m. in all its brilliance. Thirty minutes later, the red planet Mars and a cres-cent Moon follow, and just before 4 a.m., bright Jupiter pops up above the horizon. This group-ing covers about the span

of your hand in the sky, and remains prominent for about 90 minutes when another planet, Mercury, joins the group a little after 5:30. From then on, the sky will con-tinue to brighten until the Sun rises at 7, just in time for you to shower and get to work.

My point is that if you stand on your own planet and watch the Sun set at around 6pm and rise again some 11 hours later, you will have the opportunity to see our Moon and all the other planets pass before you. The order changes over

time, but they’re all there, and, although there are times when some members are too close to the Sun to be seen, this can be done to some extent on any given night.

I find it quite inspir-ing that our solar system bothers to put on this Parade of Planets night after night in spite of the fact that almost no one takes the time to appre-ciate it. It’s just one more amazing thing ouruniverse has to offer, available from our own back yard, should we ever just choose to look.

October skies feature the Parade of Planets

Classic white butter sauce aka beurre blanc

[email protected] Jim Huziak

The Universe from your own

back yard

Although I don’t claim to be a nutrition expert, I feel the need to begin this column with the disclaimer that the following recipe contains a couple ingredi-ents that are high in fat. This very classic sauce does however make for a won-derfully rich treat on occa-sion to top your favourite seafood or chicken. Beurre Blanc, also known as White Butter Sauce is a brilliant combination of flavours and richness. This is a sauce that is known worldwide by all Chefs and is sure to bring compliments at your dinner table.

The original version of this traditional sauce is dif-ficult for the average home cook to prepare as it needs consistent balance of tem-perature in order to come together as a sauce. I have, however, made an adjust-ment in ingredients to ease this preparation and help

bring success to you every time you attempt it.

In an original classic recipe of Beurre Blanc the goal is to melt the butter slowly, one piece at a time, while whisking to incorpor-ate air into the butter as it melts. If the pan is too hot, or the butter not cold enough, or the whisking is inefficient, then the but-ter will melt too quickly resulting in a greasy mess not much different in con-sistency than microwaved butter. The properly incor-porated air into the butter offers you the rich velvety sauce that you are striv-

ing for.So, what’s my secret

ingredient to help turn this troublesome technical recipe into one of complete and utter bliss? Whipping cream. Adding two or three tablespoons of whipping cream to the reduction of shallots, white wine and white wine vinegar, will act as a stabilizer. The purpose of this stabilizer is to give you assistance in the amal-gamation of the air into the butter. The whipping cream helps to give the butter sub-stance and an increased ability to absorb air without separating. I have never

seen anyone fail at this recipe with the addition of this secret ingredient.

Shallots are import-ant in this recipe because onions would be too overpowering. Shallots, although more expensive, offer a sweeter milder taste and are a classic ingredient for a proper beurre blanc sauce. I am not trying to sound pompous in anyway, but substituting onions for shallots would devastate the original integrity of this beautiful sauce.

For my health conscious readers, this is not one for daily eating. This is a splurge. A divulgement into the model of classic French cooking, if you will. This is a chance for you to raise your glass in honour of the likes of Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, or any other French Chef that you hold dear to your heart. Enjoy and bon appetite!

Beurre Blanc“Beurre Blanc is a

French term for White Butter Sauce. Excellent on fish or vegetables!

2 shallots, minced1/4 cup white wine2 tbsp white wine vin-

egar2-3 tbsp whipping cream1/2 cup cold butter,

cubed into small piecesSalt & fresh cracked

pepper, to taste Add shallots, wine and

vinegar to a medium size pan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid in the pan to one tablespoon.

Stir in the whipping cream.

Reduce the heat to very low and start whisking the mixture while adding the cold butter pieces one at a time. Make sure that the

butter is melting slowly so you can whisk it into a sauce consistency - if it melts too quickly it will just be a greasy mess. If it is melting too quickly, remove the pan from the heat for a minute or two and whisk it constantly before returning it to the low heat to continue whisk-ing in the remaining butter. The addition of the cream in the previous step will act as a stabilizer to help you to whip air into the butter to become a sauce.

When all the butter has been incorporated, season to taste with salt & pepper and serve immediately.

Makes approximately 3/4 cup.

DIYETA “Stars For

Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council,Thursday, October 22 at

7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton

Regional High School. Diyet engages audiences in an intimate and uplifting experience as she invites them into a soundscape of

rhythym, melody and story-telling. With a resonant

voice that conveys emotion and passion. Diyet is a con-temporary Aboriginal artist whose music leaves listen-

ers with a sense of hope and possibility. Her lyrics paint a vivid picture of her

surroundings and the happy and heartbreaking things that happen in her world. Diyet’s adventurous life is on full display in her music and she often says, “yesterday fishing for our dinner on the ice, the next

day on the stage singing for you” – how awesome is

that? www.diyetmusic.comTickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door.
