HARVEST SHOWDOWN – The annual Harvest Showdown was a celebration of agri-culture in the region, with entertainment, ranch rodeo, chore team competition and other events for the crowds at the Gallagher Centre.
Young fiddlers light up Harvest Showdown

The Leon’s Manufacturing Fiddle Competition is a tradi-tion at Grain Millers Harvest Showdown, but it’s a tradition which crosses generations. Nine fiddlers competed in the 2015 competition, from seniors to kids as young as seven.
The winner of the open and adult classes was Scott Cornelius, and he says it went
really well, with a lot of talented fiddlers taking to the stage in the com-petition.
One group that Cornelius was impressed with was the youngest group, and he says it’s exciting to see how good they are after only a short time play-ing the instrument.
“It’s nice to see that they’re still going up, and fiddling is still car-rying on with the youth.”
Cornelius says that
he keeps fiddling because it’s something he’s always enjoyed. He credits competitions like the one at Harvest Showdown for making fiddling something the really young want to take up and for continu-ing his interest in the instrument.
“It was my first inter-est, and I never really stopped doing it.”
Cornelius intends to spend the prize money on his other passion, classic cars. He says
that all of the prize money has been ear-marked for his 1954 Chrysler.
Complete results are:Seniors Class, Walter
Misko first, Jim Maddock second.
Adult Class, Scott Cornelius first, Cathy
Sproule second.Intermediate Class,
Shelby Gibson first, Bria Howden second.
Junior Class, Susanna Reed, first, Brydon Howden second, Kiera Howden third.
Open Class, Scott Cornelius first, Shelby
Gibson second, Bria Howden third.
SCOTT CORNELIUS took first prize in both the adult and open competitions at the Leon’s Manufacturing Fiddling Competition at Grain Millers Harvest Showdown.

The Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation is concerned about the amount of debt in Saskatchewan. They have been touring the province with the Debt Clock, which is meant to show the current state of the provincial deficit.
Todd MacKay of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says they have undertaken the tour to raise awareness of what is happening with the province’s finances.
“The provincial gov-ernment did a great job of paying down debt when it first came into office, and deserves cred-it for that, but now the debt is starting to creep back up again. In fact, it’s going up by about $2.7 million every day.”
The clock itself was made out of a desire to help people understand
just how much money this is.
“It’s hard for people to imagine what that looks like. That’s why we bring
the clock out, so people can see how fast those numbers are moving and ultimately we need to get those numbers moving
the other way.MacKay says that
people are surprised to see how big the numbers are, as well as seeing the
rate at which the provin-cial debt is growing.
“On the other hand, I think there is optimism. If we make a few tough decisions and trim spend-ing a little bit we can turn things around and start paying the debt down again.”
Ultimately, the goal is to make people more aware of the financial situation of the province,
so there can be discus-sions about how to betterspend tax dollars in the province to change the way the clock is running.
“The only way to payoff the provincial debt is through taxes, so we want to make taxpayersaware that you’re on the hook for more money, because a lot of the time that is something people don’t think about that.”

Traditionally, Wheat has been the crop of Saskatchewan. In recent years, local farmers have taken on growing different crops such as Rolled Oats and Quinoa to aid their income in a wheat-saturated mar-ket. Bev Yaschuk and her home-based restau-rant, “Home and Away” have gleefully accepted these now local grains into her recipes.
In partnership with the Harvest Showdown, Grain Millers and Northern Quinoa, Yaschuk brought her own gluten-free recipes for all to learn and enjoy
in a test kitchen set up by McMunn & Yates.
“My philosophy of cooking is clean eating,” she said as she mixed the first of three dishes. “I use local ingredients; fresh ingredients. I use simple recipes I make up myself and only take ten minutes or so to make.”
Yaschuk began stray-ing from gluten products when she learned she had Celiac disease, a Gluten intolerance that affects 1 in 133 Canadians.
“Most people think, “Okay I just don’t eat bread.” That’s not the case. Wheat is in almost everything. My favou-rite thing is black liquorice, but it has
wheat, which means it has gluten.”
Yaschuk incorporated different grains into her diet to accommodate her needs, making up reci-pes as she went. Lentils and Quinoa proved to have a high protein and fibre content, as well as being easy to work with. Oats proved to be key in lowering blood pressure. Originally, purchasing these alternatives meant turning aside her shop local philosophy. However, now that more farmers near Yorkton are growing these crops, Yaschuk does not have to.
Saturday afternoon in the Flexi-hall became her stage, as seats filled
and crowds gathered to get a taste of the dishes of the day: BLT Soup – Bacon, Lentil and Tomato, Steel Cut Oats Salad and Coconut Quinoa Pudding. Each recipe contained no more than ten ingredients and was eagerly consumed by the audience. Fresh Oats were provided by Grain Millers, fresh Lentils from a farm near Dafoe and fresh Quinoa provided by Northern Quinoa.
Interested individu-als looking for Bev Yaschuk’s services, or to discuss gluten-free meal options are encouraged to give Home & Away a call at 306-782-0037.

The Paper Bag Players hosted the TheatreOne festival for one act plays with Theatre Saskatchewan. The festival saw five community theatre groups come to Yorkton to entertain crowds with their one act produc-tions.
Pam Milani with the
Paper Bag Players says that the weekend achieved what they set out to do, bringing together several groups for a weekend of enter-tainment.
The weekend also saw Paper Bag Players take home honorable mentions for their pro-duction of “Elevator.” Marilyn Kuntz and Theresa Weber took home honorable men-
tions for acting, while director Leanne Keys had an honorable men-tion for best director. The play overall was runner up.
“It’s very, very excit-ing, it makes all the hard work that much better.”
The big winner of the weekend was the Kerrobert Community Players with their pro-duction of “Cotton Girls,”
which took home best production as well as directing, acting and technical awards. Milani says it was no surprise to see Kerrobert do well.
“You get to know a lot of the groups, so when you see who’s coming to a festival you kind of have an expectation of what to expect. Kerrobert is one of those groups where they always do really well
and we always expect a good show from them. This year was nothing different.”
The Paper Bag Players might be coming off hosting the one act festival, but they are not sitting still, as they are preparing for their Christmas dinner the-atre production of “Sorry! Wrong Chimney!” Performed November 20, 21, 27 and 28, Milani
says it’s going to be agood time.
“It’s one of those shows that has a lot of mistaken identities, misunderstandings and a lot of hilarity. We’re having a lot of fun doingit and we think that everyone who comes out will really enjoy it.”
Tickets are still avail-able at www.paperbag-players.com.

The white poppy tends to cause controversy every year, as people take it as a sign of disrespect for the country’s veterans, and view the campaign as trying to latch on to a traditional memorial. They are not wrong, but instead of being angry about its existence, it might be a smart idea to use it as an example of why the traditional, red poppy remains relevant, and learning about history remains something vitally important.
A competing poppy campaign is something which could only exist after people became discon-nected from their past. Their purported message of peace is not that far off, because poppies do inher-ently support peace – they exist as a memorial and recognition of sacrifices made, but there is also the implied message that if we can avoid having to make such sacrifices, that is what we need to do. The white alternative is naive, but then it’s crop-ping up in an era which is increasingly distant from major conflicts.
War has not gone away, but it has been made more remote than it has ever been. Fewer people are connected to someone who has experienced armed conflict, the wars being fought today are less easily explained and more difficult to rally behind, and the wars of the past are now further away than they have ever been. That is a situation
which allows something like the white poppies to exist, given the remoteness of war and a lack of understanding of history, a campaign to “promote peace” begins to make sense. Once you begin to understand history, it no longer does.
Poppies are an invitation to learn from history. We remember the people lost to conflict, but we also need to remember why they were lost. It’s not just about the soldiers as individuals, but also the entire era, and what lead to their sacrifices in the first place. It’s a message about the importance of peace as a means to prevent a repeat of the global conflicts that made poppies relevant in the first place. The difference is that they are not naive, they recognize the necessity of war while referenc-ing the damage it causes.
Clearly the people who wear the white variation don’t know about this, because if they did they would wear the same poppies as the rest of us. Instead of blasting them for a lack of respect, we should look at why an alternate campaign might exist, and react accordingly. In effect, we need to find a way to get people to connect more strongly with the own history. This is something which gets more difficult every year, as history retreats fur-ther into the past, we lose more veterans and get further disconnected from any conflict that hap-pens around us.
But the need to reconnect with that history becomes more important every year as well, because we do need to remember what happened, not just the war itself but the events leading up to it, and we need to understand how a global conflict could happen so we can stop a global conflict from ever happening. Understanding what happened during previous wars and the years in between is a valuable lesson for how we handle any conflict today, and the people who died over seventy years ago are reasons why we need to learn that history and get it right this time around. The red poppy carries a message of peace, because it comes from an era of war.

Trudeau hits right notes

SUMA welcomes return of long-form census
PUBLISHER: Neil Thom

There are quite a few striking things about the new government in Ottawa. Foremost among these, perhaps, is the makeup of the first Cabinet. Of course, it has only been a week since the new Cabinet was sworn in, but so far, it is hitting a lot of right notes, even among some who fought hard to maintain the status quo in the latest election.
The first right note Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hit was gender parity. For the first time in Canadian history we have a Cabinet that is 50 per cent men and 50 per cent women.
This inevitably raised criticism about appointing peo-ple based on criteria other than merit. It is never too early to raise criticism where it is warranted, but that is not the case here. The federal government must represent all of the people and, as Trudeau said, this is a cabinet that looks like Canada. Indeed, it was a very balanced cabinet-mak-ing effort. All of the regions are represented, every province and the North as well. There are exceptionally experienced MPs and newly minted ones. First Nations are amply represented as are new Canadians.
The argument that Cabinet has never been a meritoc-racy can much more easily be made than the argument Trudeau ignored merit. One would be hard-pressed to find an unqualified minister among the 30.
It has become traditional to consider other factors in choosing ministers because it is important there is as wide a range of voices as possible at the Cabinet table. In any event, it is a significantly better process than the old patronage system of prime ministers elevating their friends and fundraising toadies to the fore.
Are they heavily symbolic? Sure they are. Are they accomplished people, though? Yes, they are.
The proof, of course, is in the governing and we will see how they do. Some will undoubtedly stumble, others will become superstars. That’s the nature of any government, business or other organization in the world.
Trudeau made some truly inspired choices, though. For example, Judy Wilson-Raybould as Justice Minister and Attorney General, an indigenous woman who was a pro-vincial Crown prosecutor, B.C. Treaty Commissioner and Regional Chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations.
Or how about Harjit Sajjan as Minister of National Defence? He is a bona fide war hero and former police officer in Surrey, BC, one of the toughest municipalities in the country.
There is also Stéphane Dion in Foreign Affairs, who may not have been a great choice for party leader when he made the run to be prime minister, but he is a good choice for that portfolio.
There will certainly be things to criticize about this Cabinet in the long-term. In the short-term, it is unlikely to be the Liberals’ first legislative failure. That will likely be bringing 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of the year.
Frankly, at the time Trudeau made that promise, it looked like he might be fighting for second place, or at best a minority. Either of those situations would have made the promise moot.
John McCallum, the veteran Liberal MP tasked with that job, remains committed to the number and has struck a cabinet subcommittee. It is all hands on deck to make this happen. If it doesn’t, it appears it won’t be from lack of effort.
And, if they fall short, they may well yet be forgiven. Every government gets a honeymoon phase.
The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) applauds the federal government for today’s announcement on the reinstatement of the mandatory long-form census. This was a major point in SUMA’s advocacy work during the federal election campaign.
“As we said many times this summer and fall, municipalities simply cannot make good policy decisions without good data to back us,” said SUMA President Debra Button. “It’s a relief to see the return of the long-form census, especially here in Saskatchewan. The National Household Survey was useless to many of Saskatchewan’s towns, villages, and even some cities.”
SUMA was pleased to join our voice with our federal counterparts, the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities, and many otheradvocacy groups in calling for the return of the long-form census. Groups in sup-port of reinstatement included: provincialand municipal governments, urban planners,economists, statisticians, chambers of com-merce, unions, medical associations, char-ities, academics, scientists, business leaders, pollsters, policy makers, boards of trade, andgroups representing some of society’s most vulnerable. We are even more pleased to seethe success of that advocacy.
“Today is a great day for policy makers,” said President Button. “We are confidentthis will once again give us access to robust and reliable data, allowing us to analyze the needs of our municipalities, and make good evidence-based policy decisions.”

New tolerance de mands that we accept either the most popular view or the view of the most vocal group or shut up.
“I am intolerant of intolerance” has become something of a mantra for suppressing unpopu-lar opinions. Today’s “new tolerance”, as it is called in academic circles, is redefining our under-standing of tolerance and shaping our behaviour in public spaces, but it is no friend to the exercise of conscience and freedom of speech.
In the past, we used to “agree to disagree”. It was a respectful way to end debates before they degenerated into personal and hateful attacks.
We used to define toler-ance in the phrase, “I dis-approve of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” We allowed others their opinions and the right to express them.
New tolerance requires something different. It demands that we accept either the most popular view or the view of the most vocal group. If we believe differently, those who hold the dominant view, or shout the loudest, accuse us of bigotry. They cannot countenance our intolerance; we must be muzzled. This is especial-ly evident when it comes
to issues surrounding sex-uality and gender.
The no-platform move-ment that is taking hold of western universities is the poster child of new tolerance. The movement, which denies speakers a platform, fosters intoler-ant behaviour in its mis-guided attempt to protect democracy and equality.
Notable feminist Germaine Greer is the latest fatality of the no-platform movement. Greer was to lecture on “Women and Power: Lessons of the 20th Century” at Cardiff University in Wales. Twenty-seven hundred students signed a peti-tion that accused her of misogyny and inciting hate and violence against transgender people.
Greer’s unspeakable crime was to say that she does not think “a post-operative transgendered man is a woman”. But others required Greer (and anyone who might hold the same opinion) to think differently. Payton Quinn, a Huffington Post contributor writing in support of the petition, asserted, “If you believe that trans women are women, as you should because they are, then what Germaine Greer is espousing in her cam-paign against them is mis-ogyny.”
Greer, incidentally, was not campaigning
against anyone. She has not written about trans-gender issues for years, nor was her lecture about transgender issues. In her words, “It’s not my issue. I don’t even talk about them.”
New tolerance is not limited to the no-platform movement on university campuses. In Canada, some political parties require all candidates to be pro-choice. A per-son who questions abor-tion must want to limit a woman’s right to choose; that person has no place in government. Trinity Western University requires students and staff to sign a covenant agreement with a clause that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. The institution must be discriminating against LGBTQ people; it must not be allowed in a law school.
It is no longer enough for a tolerant individual to treat people with the respect and dignity that all individuals - gay, trans, or straight - deserve. We must now accept the most popular views and believe what the most vocal group tells us to believe. To do otherwise is anathema.
Tolerance does not come easily or naturally to us. It requires practice. From time to time, we need to check our atti-tudes. We need to make
sure that our concern for one group does not express itself as intolerance for someone else, that we do not become violent, hate-ful, or self-righteous in the name of tolerance.
Social media has done little to promote toler-ance. Social media sites that invite us “to join the conversation” frequent-ly become platforms for intolerance. Outrage, insult, and hatred char-acterize many social media exchanges. These exchanges do little to fos-ter understanding of ‘dif-ference’, or to improve society.
It is easier to spew contempt than to allow different voices the lati-tude to speak. If we are serious about the free-doms of conscience and speech, we cannot bully or exclude others when their opinion goes against the grain. Rejecting an opin-ion is not the same thing as rejecting a person, or discriminating against a group.
This new tolerance is intolerance in disguise.

Saskatchewan residents can now honour and support military members and their families with a Support Our Troops licence plate depicting silhouettes of different branches of the Canadian military.
“Our government is offering the Support Our Troops licence plate to show respect, and help aid military families who serve our country,” Provincial Military Liaison and Wood River MLA D.F. (Yogi) Huyghebaert said. “We are grateful for the service of these brave men and women, and want to acknowledge the sacrifices they make for our freedom.”
A big part of the plate program is to offer financial support to Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS). Customers can order a plate for $55 at a motor licence issuer. CFMWS will receive $30 from each plate to support their Saskatchewan operations.
“I’m so pleased to see govern-ment is now offering a Support Our Troops licence plate,” mother of Cpl. Brandon Cherry of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based out of CFB Edmonton Stacey Cherry said. “The fact that prof-its from the plates are put toward programs that will benefit military members, like my son Brandon, is wonderful and I am so grateful to be part of this process. I will be proud to display one of these plates as a symbol of the gratitude and respect I have for those serving our country, and for those who have lost their lives protecting it.”
“Members leave their homes and families for months at a time and put their lives on the line for our safety,” Huyghebaert said. “It is very fitting that all profits collected from the sale of these licence plates will go toward programs and servi-ces in Saskatchewan for members and their families.”
The plate has a white background with green lettering and a graphic of the Canadian flag at top left. There is a black silhouette of military members underneath the flag with “Support Our Troops” written in white lettering across the bottom. A yellow “Support Our Troops” ribbon on the bottom left complements the design. The plates will contain the letter “T” followed by four numbers (i.e. T0001, T0002, etc.).

Intolerance is the new tolerance
The American rejec-tion of the Keystone XL pipeline proposal should inspire Alberta to start looking at the true energy future.
The rejection of the Keystone XL project has been severely criticized by Alberta oilpatch spokes-persons and supporters. Many environmentalists are, of course, jubilant.
But there is a middle course. The pipeline rejec-tion can be justified, with-out pretending that the use of fossil fuels can be ended quickly.
Opponents of expanded fossil fuel produc-tion, because of climate change concerns, reason-ably focus on opposing expanded transportation infrastructure, although forcing companies to use far more dangerous rail-roads is a bad idea.
And certainly some public reaction has been more nuanced than one might expect. At least one oilpatch worker and another petroleum engin-eer who called CBC’s Alberta at Noon show after the announcement suggested that the pipe-line might not be neces-sary or desirable and that oil sands production might be fairly called “dirty.”
Present production levels are reaching mar-ket without Keystone XL, so the need for a new pipeline is based solely on plans for expanded pro-duction.
But expanding oil sands production is not
a good idea. The cumula-tive socio-environmental effects of the industry have neither been prop-erly assessed nor dealt with. If expansion is ruled out, pressure for exten-sive new pipelines and the controversy would diminish. So would the inflation and recessionary effects of the “boom-bust” cycle.
Big oil sands pro-jects have a generational timescale. But advocates of expansion forget that the fossil fuel industry will soon enter its sun-set phase. According to a report in the Huffington Post, “based on IPCC estimates, the world can only burn one-fifth to one-third of its proven oil reserves” if a critical climate tipping point is to be avoided. Canadian Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, has warned that “if that estimate is even approxi-mately correct it would render the vast majority of reserves ‘stranded’ - oil, gas and coal that will be literally unburnable without expensive carbon capture technology, which itself alters fossil fuel eco-nomics.”
This fact, of course, would enormously reduce the value of fossil fuel companies and con-sequently their ability to borrow money.
If Carney and other observers are right, exec-utives and boards of direc-tors who fail to heed this warning and continue to invest in new exploration
and pipelines are leaving themselves open to col-lapsing share values.
Even supporters of low- or no-carbon energy systems are uncertain about how quickly and completely renewable energy sources can fill the gap. But governments can help the transition by adjusting financial and policy incentives or constraints. Wise govern-ments - and companies - will take vigorous action to encourage new develop-ments such as better stor-age batteries for inter-mittent sources. They will also engage in heavy investment in geothermal projects (Alberta doesn’t even have an approval/regulatory regime for this, which prevents entrepre-neurs from obtaining the necessary financing).
It is dangerous for Alberta’s oil and gas pro-duction to go to a sin-gle market -- the U.S. Continuing to do this means that billions of dol-lars will be left on the table. Presently, only a tiny fraction of produc-tion goes to non-American markets. Some routes to other markets for present production must be pro-vided in the medium term, perhaps 20 years, while renewable energy is being ramped up suf-ficiently.
The oilpatch is not the enemy - many of its key developers are sincerely pro-environment. But the need to improve the acceptability of Canadian production puts a pre-
mium on technological developments. We must remediate tailings ponds, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy and water demands of in-situ projects if foreign buy-ers are going to embrace our product. Further, we will need major provincial and federal programs to combat climate change in order to improve our bad international reputation.
The oil and gas indus-try has a medium-term future. Agile companies will be in the forefront of the move to renewable energy, realizing that they are energy compan-ies, not oil and gas com-panies. Other less flex-ible companies may well disappear.
Governments should re-establish independent, publicly-accessible and robust project assessment and approval processes with a mandate to con-sider cumulative socio-environmental and eco-nomic impacts, including climate change considera-tions.
We must plan for tran-sitional use of cleaned-up oil and gas production as we move into a 21st cen-tury energy system.

(NC) — As tem-peratures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These are five of the most important energysaving tips for the comfort of your family — and your wallet:
1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a program-mable thermostat, so you don’t have to give it a second thought.
2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around win-dows and doors can
let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these prob-lem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat.
3. Insulate well against the cold. Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A stone wool product specif-ically designed for thermal performance is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protec-tion from fire, mois-ture, and unwanted noise. Adding insu-lation is one of the
simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency.
4. Make use of nat-ural sources of heat. Pull back your cur-tains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or win-ter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sun-light, keep the cur-tains closed to form a barrier from the cold.
5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clock-wise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises
back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermo-stat by two degrees in the winter.
While cutting back on energy may seem more challen-ging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are
many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can pro-vide consistent sav-ings over time.
How to maximize energy savings all winter
(NC) — As the seasons change but before it gets too cold, there is no bet-ter time to inspect your house from top to bottom to iden-tify places where you could be wast-ing energy. Check for drafty windows and doors that you can easily seal with caulking and weath-er-stripping. Next, make sure that your
home is insulated at the recommended R-value or thermal value for your area.
Insufficient insu-lation in unheated garages, basements and attics allows heat to escape, leav-ing you with chilly living spaces and hefty monthly heat-ing bills. Start in the attic. If you can see the tops of the ceil-ing joists when you
look in your attic, then it is wise to add more insulation.
Blown-in loose insulation is the best choice for attics because it fills many hard-to-reach spaces and provides excel-lent protection from air leakage.
“Heat constant-ly moves to colder areas, which is why homes need insulat-ing power between
the indoors and outdoors,” explains Kate Campbell, a celebrity carpenter and media personal-ity. “Loose, blown-in attic insulation such as CertainTeed TrueComfort or InsulSafe XC, helps to prevent warm air from rising to the roof and creating ice accumulations along eaves and gut-ters that can cause
roof damage. It can be installed in your attic in less than a day and will immedi-ately improve your indoor comfort and save energy.”
When selecting insulation, Campbell says homeowners need to do their homework. Choose a loose blown-in material that doesn’t settle so that its thermal performance
is not reduced. This measure will also prevent the need to top it up every couple of years. She also suggests looking for insulation prod-ucts that are non-combustible, odour free and that don’t contain chemicals.

“Looking for Aiktow: Stories Behind the History of the Elbow of the South Saskatchewan River”
by Joan SoggiePublished by Joan
SoggieReview by Keith
Foster$20.00 ISBN 978-1-
890692-26-1Aiktow was a
notoriously danger-ous place. In 1866 a clash between Cree and Blackfoot warriors left hundreds dead, their bleached bones littering a valley. Joan Soggie describes this
battle and her search for the site in Looking for Aiktow: Stories Behind the History of the Elbow of the South Saskatchewan River.
Aiktow, Cree for elbow, referred to an abrupt bend or elbow in the South Saskatchewan River, located near the cur-rent village of Elbow, SK. Both Cree and early explorers avoid-ed camping in this area where the river turned; to do so was an open invitation for the Blackfoot to attack.
According to Soggie,
“Cree became the official language of the fur trade” on the prairies. For a while the Cree profited by their relationship with the Hudson’s Bay Company, supplying traders with tonnes of fresh meat and pemmican “But those golden days were as elusive and short-lived as the mirages that haunt distant prairie horizons,” Soggie says.
The landscape changed dramat-ically when Lake Diefenbaker swal-lowed up vast tracts
of land, including a giant rock that a mas-
sive glacier, more than one kilometre thick, had deposited. Aboriginals considered this rock sacred and called it Mistaseni. The Big Rock suffered a double indignity. It was not only flooded over to make way for Lake Diefenbaker, but, much to the consterna-tion of archaeologists, was also blown up with dynamite.
Looking for Aiktow has a bibliography, endnotes, and more than two dozen black and white photos and maps. Each of its four-
teen chapters tells a complete story while forming part of a larger story, and the prologue and epilogue combine to form yet another story. Soggie’s writing style is reminiscent of Pierre Berton’s when she introduces back-ground information as a seamless part of her script, and her narra-tive runs as smoothly as a shimmering sum-mer stream.

As temperatures start to dip, Regina Mobile Crisis Services, The Salvation Army, the Ministry of Social Services and their com-munity partners are asking members of the public to call if they see someone in need of a warm place to stay.
“We need to make sure that everyone knows where to call if they see or know some-one who is left out in the cold, especially as tem-peratures reach danger-
ously low levels through-out the winter,” Regina Mobile Crisis Services Executive Director John McFadyen said. “We have a really good sys-tem to make sure that people have warm places to stay, so it’s important that people know how to access it.”
“If you see someone in immediate danger, call 911 to get that per-son the help they need right away,” Salvation Army Major Mike Hoeft said. “If you personally
know someone who is in need of help, please get them in touch with the Ministry of Social Services or any other community service agency.”
Since 2007, 248 new shelter spaces have been created in the province, which is a 128 per cent increase. Government has also increased emer-gency shelter funding by 21 per cent for indi-viduals and up to 361 per cent for families, depending on the num-
ber of children.“Everyone should
know that assistance is available for people who are in need of emer-gency shelter,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. “It is so important that each one of us knows where to call if we see someone who needs help.”
In Regina, Mobile Crisis Services provides after-hours and weekend services and referrals and is available at 306-757-0127. Individuals will be connected with the various shelter sup-ports in Regina that are appropriate to their needs. During weekday business hours, indi-viduals can drop in to the Ministry of Social Services’ Regina Service Centre at 2045 Broad Street for assistance.
In Saskatoon, the Salvation Army, 306-242-6280 provides after-hours emergency services and referrals. Individuals will be con-nected with the vari-ous shelter supports in Saskatoon that are appropriate to their needs. During daytime business hours, indi-viduals may drop in to the Ministry of Social Services’ Saskatoon Service Centre at 160 - 2nd Avenue South for
assistance.In Prince Albert,
Prince Albert Mobile Crisis is available after hours at 306-764-1011 and will connect callers with shelter supports. YWCA after hours emergency services for men and women at Our House, 15th Street Location, are available at 306-922-6162.
In other commun-ities across the province, individuals are advised to contact their near-est Ministry of Social Services Service Centre at www.socialservices.gov.sk.ca/service-deliv-ery, an emergency shel-ter or Mobile Crisis Service, if available in their community, or police. If someone is in immediate dan-ger, please call 911 to ensure a person in need receives help. For a list of shelters and services for people in need across the province, individuals may also refer to the www.sk.211.ca website.
“Nobody should be without a warm and safe place to sleep,” Harpauer said. “This is why our ministry has partnered with local community-based organizations to help people without a place to call home. These supports are designed to help people without the
means to pay for their own shelter through income supports, emer-gency shelters, or short-term stays at hotels.”
Last year, the Regina Cold Weather Strategy group teamed up to develop a secure website to help make it easier to keep track of shelter capacity. The website allows shelters to report their availability and keep the information up-to-date throughout the night. Emergency Shelter Availability can be viewed at www.mobilecrisis.ca.
The Saskatoon Cold Weather Strategy group meets in advance of the winter season to acti-vate their plan. Daily communication through text messages, email or phone occurs when the wind-chill or tem-perature exceeds -40C, the snowfall warning is 10 or more centim-eters, or there are ser-ious weather warnings. Participating organ-izations are advised by email when cold weather is predicted and submit an agency assessment summary. A conference call is then held if the agency summary shows that there are pressures to meet the demand for services

There are a lot of ways to feed your baby’s brain! When you talk or read to your baby, play or sing with them, and nourish them with healthy food and love, you are actually “feed-ing” your baby’s brain.
The developing brain needs two basics: safety and positive experiences.
1. Create a safe envi-ronment – When a baby feels stressed, their brain develops a chemi-cal called cortisol. High levels of cortisol can actually slow brain development. By making your baby’s world safe, responsive and predict-able, you can reduce
your baby’s stress level. Remove any physical threats. Respond to them when they are crying and create a routine so that they learn what to expect from their world.
2. Provide positive experiences – Your baby’s brain learns best when it is challenged with new information. Exposing your baby to new experi-ences can help strength-en existing connections in their brains, as well as make new ones. Even a simple activity such as taking your baby to the library or out for grocer-ies can “feed” your baby’s brain.
The good news is that
building your child’s brain isn’t hard.
Many of the things we already do as parents help contribute to our babies brains. Things like cuddling and read-ing are important. You can read to your child, right from when they are in your tummy. When you are rocking your baby, you are building an emotional connection that leads to healthy relationships.
Talk. Talk. Talk. When you talk to your baby, the pathways for language become stron-ger. The best thing that we can give our children is our time!

I can hardly believe that it was only 10 years ago that I first tried roast-ed chestnuts. It was on a cold winter afternoon while strolling past all of the decorative lights and stores on Robson Street in Vancouver, BC. We came across a street vendor selling these heated lit-tle goodies and decided to give them a try. They were incredible. A com-forting buttery nut with a flavour uniquely their own, still encased in their shell but scored to ease the task of peeling. I couldn’t have found any-thing better at the time. Grasping a warm paper sack of roasted chestnuts while the crisp winter air surrounded us was reminiscent of a classic Christmas story.
As a child, I always came across chestnuts scattered on the ground amidst the fallen autumn leaves, and never thought twice about them. Now I have a completely differ-ent outlook. I purchase chestnuts fresh from the local supermarket when they’re in season, on a regular basis. When
selecting them, choose ones that feel heavy and dense for their size and have a shiny outer brown shell that does not col-lapse when pushed upon. They will keep at room temperature in a cool dark area for about a week, and for approxi-mately one month in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. Alternatively, they can also be frozen for up to six months. Purchasing them from a reputable supplier is recommended if you are unfamiliar with chestnuts, as there is a wild variety named “horse chestnuts” that are inedible.
Preparing them for roasting is a bit tedious but well worth the effort. While your oven is pre-heating to 425 degrees, score the brown shell with a sharp knife. Place the flat side of the chestnut down on a cutting board and cut an “x” shape care-fully on the rounded side facing upwards. I find that a fine-toothed ser-rated knife works best. Keeping the shell on while cooking is important for holding in their warmth
upon serving. Seal them with a few tablespoons of water in aluminum foil and roast for approxi-mately 50 minutes. Be careful of the escaping hot steam when unwrapping them and serve immedi-ately. Alternatively, place approximately eight of the scored chestnuts in a bowl and microwave for approximately one to one and a half minutes. The shelling process after-wards is not only made easier by cooking them, but also adds to the nos-talgic amusement of eat-ing this wonderful treat.
Chestnuts are not similar to others in the nut family, as they are more perishable and their fat content is significant-ly less. With only 2 or 3 grams of fat per 100g, chestnuts weigh in far less than other nuts that
may contain upwards of 30 to 70 grams of fat per 100g. Chestnuts also have approximately one third of the calories of other nuts and are a much greater source of dietary fiber. One of the downsides to chestnuts however, is that their starchier content contrib-utes to a much higher carbohydrate count com-pared to other nuts.
The chestnut tree is actually related to the oak tree and can live to be up to 500 years. They
usually measure approxi-mately 50 feet in height but can grow to be over 100 feet tall. Chestnut wood, like oak, is much sought after for furniture building for its fine grains and hard composition.
Make this wonderful-ly historic treat part of your holiday season this year, and you may catch yourself humming “chest-nuts roasting on an open fire...”.
Dear Chef Dez: I see that the local
grocery store is selling fresh chestnuts again in the produce section. What could I do with these if I were to buy some?
Hellen S.Chilliwack, BC
Dear Hellen: As described above,
roasting them is a clas-sic treat. However, there are many recipes that one could use chestnuts in. They can be added to soups, salads, and are a great addition to stuff-ings for a holiday meal. Chestnut puree is also often used in the mak-ing of many types of dif-ferent desserts. Research the Internet or your local library for some fantastic ideas.

If you are one of those vegetable gardeners who is not quite ready to say goodbye to the 2015 grow-ing season, there is one fall project that you may want to try. Besides gar-lic, fall seeding vegetables is not a common practice on the Prairies but one that is worth trying. Not all vegetables can be seeded in the garden before winter but there are a few vegetable crops that can be fall sown with success.
Most vegetable gar-deners love to get an early start on the growing sea-son. There is no better way to take advantage of moisture from the spring melt and showers than getting those seeds in the ground before the mois-ture appears. Because fall seeded vegetable crops will emerge early in spring, crops that will be killed or permanently damaged by spring frosts should be avoided.
Soil preparation is just as important before fall planting as it is in the spring. To prepare the seed bed, use a mulching mower to mulch any of this year’s left over dis-ease-free vegetation in the garden patch. If mulching is not an option, remove plant debris and place it in your compost bin. Any diseased plant material should be buried or discarded in the trash. Add well-composted manure or other organic compost to your garden; especially to the area that will be fall seeded. Work this compost into your fall garden area with a roto-tiller or by turning over the soil with a spade. It is a good idea to work up the entire garden area in the fall: this will bring over-wintering soil pests to the soil surface where they will hopefully freeze or desiccate over the winter
months. Rake the area to be seeded to provide a level surface. As with any seeding operation, it is important to have good soil to seed contact for maximum, uniform ger-mination.
Dry soil is preferred for fall seeding since moisture will encourage seed rot and seed germi-nation in fall. Avoid fall seeding any warm season crop crops like corn, beans, cucumbers, pump-kins or squash. Seeds of warm season crops do not tolerate cold soil condi-tions.
In general, cool season crops tolerate cooler tem-peratures during germi-nation, growth and stor-age. Despite their prefer-ence for cooler tempera-tures, not all cool season crops can be successfully fall seeded on the Prairies. Crops that are worth try-ing to fall seed include: onion, radish, broccoli, cabbage, kohlrabi, spin-ach and kale. A general rule of thumb for fall veg-etable seeding is to seed deeper and denser than in spring. Increase all depths and densities by 25-50%. Following are some general guidelines: onion, radish, kohlrabi and spinach - 1 cm deep, 1cm between seeds; broc-coli and cabbage - 1cm deep, 15cm between
seeds; kale - 1 cm deep, 1.5 cm between seeds. Do not water your rows after fall seeding.
While I wouldn’t plan to seed all my kohlrabi or onions in the fall, it is a good way to get a jump on the growing season in spring for some early har-vested vegetables. Good luck with your fall plant-ing. I’d write more, but for now…. I have some vegetable planting to do before the snow flies!
