The Sunrise Health Region has recently welcomed its 17th doctor from the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) program. Dr. Olaitan Fajimi began practice in Yorkton recently,
and is currently taking patients.
Fajimi is originally from Nigeria, and has been practicing for seven years. He says he has always worked in primary health, in smaller regions. When he heard about the SIPPA program, he thought it would be an easy transition to move
to rural Saskatchewan.“I said that would be
worth trying, in a place that would be small in a place where people watch out for each other and we get to know who we take care of, just like what we are used to.”
It took two attempts to get accepted to SIPPA Fajimi admits,
but not because of medical knowledge. The program also focuses on knowledge of Canadian culture, which Fajimi says he didn’t focus on in the first attempt, but that learning about it has made his actual practice much easier.
“That can be quite challenging for some
one coming from Africa. But, after passing through SIPPA and knowing what is required it’s made practicing in Saskatchewan really smooth.”
The transition to working in the province has been going well, Fajimi says, with a steadily growing client base and plenty of sup
port as his family settles into the region.
“I see a bright and assuring future in practice in Saskatchewan.”
He says he wants to make his practice a welcoming one, and prioritize the patientdoctor relationship.

Since 2006, the C o n s e r v a t i v e Government has cut taxes over 160 times, saving the average family $3,400 every year. That’s a record we’re pleased with, and one that many Canadian families have benefitted from. For example, almost a million and a half families have taken advantage of the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit. And approximately 1.7 million families with young children receive the Universal Child Care Benefit.
This government recognizes how diffi-cult it is to raise a family today. That’s why we’re working to put even more cash back into the pockets of hard-working Canadian families. We’re building on our record with new mea-sures specifically intended to continue helping offset the costs of raising a fam-ily – costs such as child care and sports activities.
First, we are intro-
ducing the new Family Tax Cut. Income splitting for seniors has proven successful, and we’re now offer-ing a similar initia-tive for families. The Family Tax Cut will allow the higher-earn-ing parent to, in effect, transfer taxable income to the other parent who is in a lower tax bracket, up to a maximum benefit of $2,000. This will enhance fairness by treating families with the same overall incomes in a compa-rable way.
Something else we’re doing is intro-ducing an increase and expansion of the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). Since 2006, the UCCB has delivered choice for parents when it comes to child care. We are now increasing the benefit to $160 per month per child under the age of six, or $1,920 per year. And we’re delivering a new benefit of $60 per month, or $720 per year, per child aged six through seven-
teen.This enhanced
UCCB will replace the existing Child Tax Credit, benefitting some four million families.
A few calls to my office have shown that there is some confu-sion regarding the similar names of these benefits. Please note that the UCCB is dif-ferent from the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CTTB), a monthly payment to assist eligible fami-lies. That will not be reduced, nor will the Goods and Services Tax Credit.
We are also increas-ing each of the Child Care Expense Deduction dollar lim-its by $1,000. This is
the initiative that allows child care expenses to be deduct-ed from taxable income if the child care is due to the par-ent working, going to school or performing research. The limits will be increased to $8,000 from $7,000 per child under age seven, $5,000 from $4,000 for each child aged seven to sixteen (and infirm dependent children over age six-teen), and $11,000 from $10,000 for chil-dren who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.
Finally, our govern-ment has already announced changes to the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit – a dou-bling of the claimable
amount for children in sports activities, now increased to $1,000. As of the 2015 tax year, that credit will be refundable, increasing the benefit for low-income fami-lies who claim it that year and subsequent years.
While our govern-ment builds on our
strong record of sig-nificant tax relief for families, Canadians can be sure that, if given the opportunity, the Opposition would reverse all the work that’s been accom-plished. You can be sure that our Con-servative Government will continue to stand up for families.

Minister of Rural and Remote Health Greg Ottenbreit says that the SIPPA program has been a success for the province, with 150 graduates in the province overall, 96 per cent in rural areas.
He says the real success has been that the doctors stay, and that the pro-gram is designed to have doctors become a permanent part of the prov-ince.
That’s reflected in Fajimi’s experi-ence, Ottenbreit notes, as having the cultural component means doctors will continue to practice in Saskatchewan, while before many doctors would be frustrated after being thrust into an unfamiliar environment.
Part of several programs in recruit-ment and retention of physicians in the province, Ottenbreit says that province is playing catch up to try to meet the demand throughout the health regions.
While he says training local doctors is the top priority, it’s not enough, and SIPPA and doctors like Fajimi are vital for meeting the needs of the province.
“There’s a huge need, we can’t train enough doctors.”

The stock dog com-petition at the Harvest Showdown brings out some of the best trained dogs in the area to show sheep who’s boss and herd them around the course.
This year’s big win-ner was Campbell Forsyth, who had two border collies, the win-ning 5 year old Meg and 2 year old Craig, in the competition.
A rancher and a breeder of border col-lies, Forsyth says that a good stock dog begins with breeding. He says from there, he starts training with sheep and eventually on his ranch they go on to herd cat-tle, and he says they go to cattle trials most often.
It does take a lot of training to get the dogs able to herd effectively, and Forsyth says the younger dog has been trained for about a half hour each day for the
past year. While for an outside
observer it might seem like the sheep at the
trials were on the stub-born side, Forsyth had no complaints, saying that it was a great trial overall and a good prep-aration for the upcom-ing Agribition.
“I’ve been coming to this trial forever. The sheep today weren’t bad, I’ve seen some bad,
bad, bad sheep.”Having sheep on the
stubborn side isn’t nec-essarily a bad thing anyway, he notes, because it also gives the dogs an opportunity to show how they can take control of the situ-ation. He was proud of the way his younger
dog is able to control animals with his eyes. While dogs might need to bite stock in order to get them to move – they only have their teeth and their eyes as tools, Forsyth explains – the younger dog was able to stare down the sheep to get them to do what he wanted, a rare qual-ity.
“It’s magical eye con-tact.”
The dogs really get the credit for the per-formance, and Forsyth says that they’re like a hired man, doing some-thing they love to do, and they love herding stock more than any-thing else.
He says that they’re a great pet for active people, since they’re extremely smart ani-mals that are gentle and easy to deal with as part of the family, though he says they need lots of activity or they will try herding everything they see, “from chickens to chil-dren.”
He says it’s the intel-ligence of the dog that makes them such a vital part of his cattle operation.
“That’s why we can train them, they’re so smart. It’s not that we’re smart, they are.”
Stock dogs trials feature smart dogs

A warning is being issued to people who have young kids and use laundry pods, those squishy little packets of detergent that have recently been intro-duced to the market. Some kids are mistaking the pods for candy and toys, and eating laundry deter-gent naturally is going to cause illness. One child has died from ingesting the stuff.
The recommendation is that the detergent manu-facturers redesign packaging to make it more difficult for the very young to get into, and put more promi-nent warnings on it so parents put it in a harder to reach location. All of which is fine, though making the packaging too difficult will make old fashioned jugs of liquid the most appealing laundry alternative yet again. What this case highlights is a struggle that is inherent in product design.
The issue was basically inevitable, because once you make a product that works you have to sell them, and the way most products are sold is to make them look good. Cleaning products are no exception, look at any soap in your house and you’ll get bright, appeal-ing colours, pictures of the delicious foods they sup-posedly smell like, and an attempt to make them look more exciting and appealing than the cleaning drudg-ery that they actually are designed to facilitate.
These pods are no exception. The standard models
are generally bright orange and blue, the colours of oranges and blueberries, two great candy flavors. The reason behind this is not that anyone wants someone to eat the detergent – they very much don’t – but because it appeals to our senses and makes us want to use them on our clothes. If you get the dye-free ver-sions, as I did because most detergent scents give me a splitting headache, it’s a much less appealing white and pale yellow. The clothes are just as clean, and you don’t have dyes, but if you’re going for pure eye appeal, white and pale yellow looks like a winter emergency, which has a much less pleasing connota-tion than oranges and blueberries.
As adults, we understand the distinction between
food and soap, but a toddler is just figuring these things out. That’s why toddlers put so many things in their mouth, including these detergent pods, unfortu-nately. In making things look good for the adults, companies will design products to recall foods. The problem becomes that in recalling pleasing sensa-tions for mom and dad, they set an unintentional trap for baby. After all, from the perspective of some-one with limited experience in the world, there’s a picture of a green apple on the bottle, it’s a neat green, that bottle of dish soap has to be some sort of apple candy right?
We’re probably not going to see the end of selling things that aren’t food with methods that recall everyone’s favorite foods, it works incredibly well. As consumers, we can recognize it but also embrace it, because many people like the scents and colours. But we do have to realize that if we’re building these products to resemble food, we’re going to see the very young get confused by them. We have to recognize that the trap exists, and find a way to make sure the kids can recognize the trap as well. It does come down to an individual level, parents more than anyone else, but it’s going to be an issue so long as our cleaning products look so tasty.

Canada is the world’s top agriculture trader when compared to all other countries on a per capita basis, according to Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) annual report on global trade.
“When viewing Canada’s agriculture trade numbers through the lens of this country’s population, a clear picture emerges,” said J.P. Gervais, FCC’s chief agricultural economist. “It shows the agriculture sector is more important to Canada than all other countries, including the United States, Australia and the European Union.”
“This is significant because it points to strong opportunities and a bright future for Canadian agriculture,” said Gervais, in releasing the FCC Ag Economics: A 2014 Look at Global Trade report.
The report takes the combined value of all agriculture exports and imports from each of the major agriculture trading countries and divides that number by each country’s respec-tive population.
In 2013, the value of Canada’s agriculture imports and exports was more than US$2,100 per person, followed by Australia at about US$1,900 per person.
While China and India don’t rank high on the per capita agriculture trade spectrum, the sig-nificance of these emerging economies – with huge and growing populations – should not be ignored, Gervais cautioned.
“The combination of rising household incomes and population growth in India and China pres-ent major market opportunities for Canadian exports of beef, pork and pulse crops,” Gervais said. “Canada appears well positioned as an important agriculture trader in the world and the expansion of trade relations will only help to sustain and build on that.”
The report shows Canada as the fifth largest agriculture exporter in the world – behind the European Union, United States, Brazil and China – and the sixth largest agriculture importer. Canada’s imports are mainly driven by relatively high household incomes and a year-round demand for fresh fruits and vegeta-bles, which is partly met by foreign exporters.
“This report confirms that agriculture is and will continue to be a major contributor to Canada’s growth and prosperity,” Gervais said.
FCC has produced a four-part video series on international agriculture trade and Canada’s place in the world markets. To view these vid-eos and read the full report, visit www.fcc.ca/GlobalTrade or read the latest FCC Ag Economist blog post at www.fcc.ca/AgEconomist.
FCC is Canada’s leading agriculture lender, with a healthy portfolio of more than $26 billion and 21 consecutive years of portfolio growth. With FCC in the market, producers benefit, agriculture benefits, rural Canada benefits and so do all Canadians.

Things I do with words...

A recent Pew Research study surveys 44 countries, revealing that the Chinese are even friendlier to free markets than Americans. Katie Simmons, a senior researcher at Pew, “notes that China has enacted numerous reforms to open up the country’s economy since the 1970s.” It probably shouldn’t surprise us that people living under the Communist Party of China’s rule are naturally less inclined to blame the free mar-ket for economic ills than are westerners.
For the west, on the other hand, blaming “the free market” is often quite convenient. No one really seems to know what the phrase means, making it susceptible to several contradictory usages and flexible enough to subsume a wide range of economic systems. For exam-ple, the Pew survey seems to take it for granted that a free market system is simply the same thing as a capi-talist system and that we should unquestioningly treat these as synonymous.
Market anarchists follow a tradition of libertarian socialism inaugurated by radicals like Josiah Warren and Benjamin Tucker, for whom capitalism was some-thing very different from a legitimate free market. Examining the economic system of their day, they con-cluded that it was one fundamentally defined by monopoly. While it was passing itself off as laissez faire and paying lip service to open competition, it was actu-ally a system that privileged the owners of capital, outlawing the most important forms of competition.
So-called “intellectual property” is one such monop-oly, an anticompetitive privilege masquerading as a
legitimate individual right. This month, China estab-lished a court devoted solely to intellectual property issues, ostensibly signalling its commitment to global corporate capitalism.
Patents and copyrights grant their holders a special, artificial right that no one could legitimately have — the right to dictate how all others may use their own property in perfectly peaceful and noninvasive ways. In an economy like today’s technology-driven Information Age, proponents of IP law cannot even pretend that they offer well-founded and reasonable protections to inventors.
The actual beneficiaries of IP today are giant multi-nationals, rich companies with proprietary business models they jealously protect from the competition from below that they so fear — true inventors and innovators. Corporate powerhouses devour patents and copyrights precisely because they forcibly prevent and impede innovation and progress.
The largest multinational companies sit on thou-sands of patents, holding the ideas they protect out of use, trolling to prevent others from using them and cut-ting in on their margins.
Monopolists love the language of free enterprise, innovation, and competition. And why shouldn’t they? It sanctifies and legitimates their unearned and unjus-tified wealth and position within society.

To the Editor:
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Chairman Rajendra Pachauri was right to advocate an “agreement to finally reverse course on cli-mate change” when he spoke to delegates tasked with approving the IPCC Synthesis Report, released on Sunday. The new direc-tion governments should follow must be one in which the known needs of people suffer-ing in the present are given priority over pos-sible future problems.
Today, exactly the opposite is happening. Of the roughly one bil-lion U.S. dollars spent every day across the world on climate finance, only 6 per cent of it is devoted to help-ing vulnerable societies adapt to climate change that they are experi-encing now.
The rest is dedicated to trying to stop future climatic events that Pachauri and the IPCC say are coming. Commentators from across the political spectrum are beginning to regard this approach as immoral.
The valuing of people yet to be born more than those suffering
today has come about because of several fac-tors: leaders who use the issue to frighten the electorate into giv-ing them more political power, the quest for greater revenue by environmental groups, alternative energy com-panies, and corpora-tions bidding for miti-gation contracts, and of course, an over confi-dence about the role of human activity in glob-al climate change.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon exemplified the last of these moti-vations when he told reporters at this week’s launch of the Synthesis Report, “Human influ-ence on the climate sys-tem is clear – and clear-ly growing… The atmo-sphere and oceans have warmed... science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in their mes-sage.”
This is totally wrong.
Professor Bob Carter, former Head of the Department of Earth Sciences at James Cook University in Australia, explained, “Science has yet to provide unam-biguous evidence that problematic, or even measurable, human-caused global warming is occurring. The
hypothesis of danger-ous man-made climate change is based solely on computerized mod-els that have repeated-ly failed in practice in the real world.”
In their November 29, 2012 open letter to the Secretary-General, 134 climate experts from across the world asserted, “The U.K. Met Office recently released data showing that there has been no statistically significant global warming for almost 16 [now 18] years. During this peri-od… carbon dioxide concentrations rose by nearly 9 per cent… The NOAA “State of the Climate in 2008” report asserted that 15 years or more without any statistically-significant warming would indi-cate a discrepancy between observation and prediction. Sixteen years without warming have therefore now proven that the models are wrong by their cre-ators’ own criterion.”
Mr. Ban never responded to the scien-tists’ letter and his statements on Sunday demonstrated that he may not have even read it. The Secretary-General said, “This global system of our earth is having really a
high temperature… That requires some massive and urgent and immediate action. We have to mobilize all financial resources.”
Carter responds, “Spending billions of dollars on expensive and ineffectual carbon dioxide controls in a futile attempt to stop natural climate change impoverishes societies and reduces our capac-ity to address these and other real world prob-lems.”
Citing thousands of scientific references in leading peer-reviewed journals, the N o n g o v e r n m e n t a l International Panel on Climate Change dem-onstrates that the glob-al warming scare is over from a scientific perspective.
But, with billions of dollars still pouring into perpetuating alarm, and with the careers of thousands of bureaucrats and cli-mate researchers at stake, the global warm-ing zombie will undoubtedly stagger on for years to come.

To the Editor:
Fearbola’ is the recent term being used to describe widespread public fears of an Ebola out-break in the United States. ‘Fearbola’ is said to spread easily through conversation or even from simply seeing images and videos about Ebola. While we in Canada might feel immune to Fearbola, sadly, we are not.
The only way to fight Fearbola is to provide responsible communications about how Ebola spreads and when Canadians need to worry. But that isn’t so easily done in a communications envi-ronment that is often only a 140 character tweet away.
Recently frontline health professionals - primar-ily nurses - were quoted in the media saying that they are not prepared for an Ebola outbreak should one happen in an urban Canadian hospital. These comments are in direct contrast to those made recently by top level government and public health officials that Canada is ready. So who’s right?
Providing effective communication is critical to ensuring healthcare workers feel informed and safe at work. Nursing union representatives have clearly expressed that nurses do not feel prepared for Ebola in their hospitals. Media stories have documented how personal protective equipment and training for frontline health workers hasn’t been available in all hospital locations across the country.
Having senior public health leadership and elected officials talk in the media about having plans to manage Ebola if, and when, it arrives in Canada is insufficient. Frontline staff need to know the content of those plans and how the plans play out within their local environments.
In most cases, this short-lived “controversy” was resolved within a very short period of time because the two parties did something novel: they sat down and talked. Emergency drills have also taken place at some hospitals across the country, making many frontline staff and public health officials more com-fortable with Canada’s capacity to respond to an Ebola case should the situation arise. This is good news.
It is not unreasonable for frontline staff to be worried about what happens when Ebola arrives in Canada. They are the very ones, after all, who will be providing care to patients who test positive for the virus. If you look at who is getting sick in Sierra Leone, or in Dallas for that matter, it is frontline health staff and the friends and family members who provide care to their loved ones before they arrive at a health centre or hospital for treatment.
Why? It’s because Ebola is not highly contagious until later in the course of the illness when contact with bodily fluids may occur - most commonly a concern for care givers. This helps us understand why people in close prolonged contact with Ebola patients may become infected.
Ebola isn’t like the flu where you are contagious before you have physical signs of actually being sick. Ebola is highly infectious only when an Ebola patient has physical symptoms, expressed primarily through blood, vomit and feces. It is then that any-one who comes in close contact is at greatest risk of catching the Ebola virus.
So - at least within Canada - we should not fear the average stranger who may or may not have a fever. But we should take reasonable precautions and ask the right questions when caring for people who have nonspecific symptoms characteristic of Ebola. Those questions primarily begin with asking if that sick person has travelled to an Ebola region within the last 21 days. So don’t be surprised if you are asked this question when you seek healthcare.
If you are sick and you know that you have undertaken such recent travel then it is in your best interest to seek early treatment and let your health-care providers know right away about your travel so they can both protect themselves and others, and provide you with the best treatment available as soon as possible.

To the Editor:
Canadians used to be known around the world for our com-passion and generosity, but changes hidden in the Conservative government’s lat-est omnibus budget bill threat-en those values.
Every year Canada wel-comes refugees who are fleeing violence and persecution in troubled parts of the world to begin their lives anew in our country. Before they are tech-nically accepted as refugees, these refugee claimants are not guaranteed a work permit, and rely on social assistance to sur-vive.
This legislation will allow social assistance to be taken away from this extremely vul-
nerable group at their time of greatest need. It will deny assis-tance to refugees even though they have no other means to put food on the table.
That is cruel and goes direct-ly against Canadian values.
The government argues it is simply respecting provincial jurisdiction, but I have not heard of a single province ever trying to get out of its responsi-bility to make social assistance payments to refugee claimants. The vast majority of claimants go on to become permanent res-idents; deliberately imposing destitution is no way to help them start their life in Canada.
No wonder the Conservatives buried these changes in a bill that’s almost 500 pages long.
These changes come after the
Federal Court struck down the Conservatives’ policy of deny-ing refugee claimants health benefits, ruling that it was “cruel and unusual” treatment that puts lives at risk and “out-rages Canadian standards of decency”. Shockingly, the gov-ernment is appealing that rul-ing.
It is appalling that the Conservative government is playing politics of fear with the very lives of those who come to Canada with nothing but hopes and dreams. They must back-off their anti-refugee attacks and start upholding Canadian values.
Hon. John McCallum, P.C., M.P. Liberal Party
of Canada Citizenship and Immigration Critic
Refugee claimants deserve better
To the Editor:
Middle class fami-lies should not have to pay more to give wealthier families like those of MPs and Cabinet Ministers a $2,000 tax break.
But that’s exactly what’s happening with Stephen Harper’s new “income splitting” scheme. In families where the parents are in different tax brack-ets, it allows the high-er-income spouse to claim a tax credit of up to $2,000 per year (as if a portion of his or her income were being taxed at the other par-
ent’s lower rate).Former Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty was concerned that such a policy would be expensive and unfair to most Canadians. “It benefits some parts of the Canadian popula-tion a lot, and other parts of the Canadian population virtually not at all,” he said. And he was right.
The vast majority of Canadian families will receive no benefit from income splitting. Single mothers get nothing. Families in which both parents are in the same income bracket get nothing. The most
needy and lowest income families get nothing.
In fact, fewer than 15 per cent of Canadian households will bene-fit; 85 per cent will not. And for the few who do, the biggest gains will go to the wealthi-est.
At a cost of $2 bil-lion a year, Mr. Harper is spending an awful lot of money to help a small and select group. Those who have been left out will question both the cost and the fairness of it all. Like the late Mr. Flaherty, they will wonder why Mr. Harper is re-dis-
tributing income to the more affluent.
Canadians need a plan for jobs and growth. Mr. Harper’s income splitting plan does nothing to encour-age economic growth or strengthen the mid-dle class.
Liberals oppose this policy, and we will con-tinue to put forward positive solutions that will help our economy grow and give all Canadians a real and fair chance at success.
Ralph Goodale, MP
Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party of
Canada
Income splitting is unfair to middle class

NEW HORIZONS SENIOR CITIZENS of Yorkton got into the spooky spirit of Halloween at a Masquerade Dance October 31, 2014 held in their 1st Avenue hall. It was a fun-filled evening of dancing amongst eerie decorations and with some pretty scary and funny characters. Prizes were given for various categories and there was much enthusiasm about being incognito. The evening included a deli-cious lunch and whether dressed in costume or not, the evening was enjoyed immensely by everyone.
Ready or not, there is no stopping the unimaginable.
Ed, my neighbor next door, didn’t have a ready comment for the killing of a reservist and the gun fire on Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, in Ottawa. I have never found him to be short of an opinion before, but the events of that day left him without any quick or easy comments, like most of us.
Corporal Nathan Cirillo was one of the two ceremonial guards stationed at the Canadian War Memorial in Ottawa that Wednesday, when a gunman shot and killed him in cold blood. The same gunman died later in a shootout in The Centre Block of Parliament.
It is hard to believe a soldier could be shot down for standing in honor at our National War Memorial. Prime Minister Harper called the event a terrorist attack. Ed and I dis-cussed that the terror-ist way is not the Canadian way. It goes against our Canadian spirit, when another gladly kills the unsus-pecting or cuts off heads of kidnapped vic-tims. It is a detestable thing to bomb mara-thon runners. Ed and I, often have big differ-ences of opinion but allow that neither one of us is right. We both agree the worst kind of enemy is the two-faced, sneaky enemy who has been plotting to kill others for his gain or glory now and in the next life. We like to
believe people are good, but there is a lot of proof to say it isn’t nec-essarily so. People prove again and again they hate, lie, murder and steal for what they perceive as good for themselves.
The Bible speaks of what is detestable to God. “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detest-able to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed inno-cent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness that pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dis-sension among broth-ers.”
I believe my life is a gift from God, and should be ended by Him. Ed believes his life came from his par-ents, but no one has the right to end his life by murder. Innocent people get murdered as in the case of Corporal Cirillo. Murder and killing begin with hate or anger that develops
into a murder in a rage of temper or into kill-ing after premedita-tion. Many of us, as Canadians live by the basic rule do to others as you would have them do to you. We don’t kill because we do not want to be killed. “Terrorists” want to kill and see getting killed themselves as to their glory.
In Canada we have sought to respect each other, and share this beautiful land in peace and freedom. We try to encourage the best behavior out of each other. We have built our nation on the rule of law and good order for all. There has always been and will always be those that are at work to destroy what doesn’t suit them. They act to destroy in anger, hate, lies, theft and murder, and want like-minded people to join them. The Canadian way is to honor other people and to live with them in peace. We seek to love not kill our neighbor.
You can’t stop the unimaginable

Green savings in your wallet and on the road
Don’t ignore tires
In today’s economy, every-one is looking for ways to save money, and an unexpected place to do it could be in your garage.
“There are a lot of very simple things that you can either do yourself or have done for you that will help your car run more efficiently, so you can save money at the pump,” explains Megan Currie, Honeywell Consumer Products Group product manager.
Here are a couple examples of how drivers can save a little green – both in their wallets, and on the road:
Change the air filter: According to Environment Canada, replacing a clogged air filter can improve a car’s gas mileage by as much as 10 per-cent. Fram air filters are an effective solution, as most models feature bright white fibres that make it easy to spot when a filter may need check-ing. While not all cars are alike, this is often a very easy project that can be done in minutes.
Try a fuel additive: Using a fuel additive like Prestone Complete Fuel System Cleaner
every 6,400 kilometers helps improve acceleration and fuel economy by unclogging fuel injectors and cleaning intake valves and combustion cham-bers. “All you need to do is pour it into your gas tank and drive away to improved perfor-mance,” Currie stated.
Now, carrying out simple activities like this doesn’t mean you should avoid your local automotive service provider. Deferred maintenance can cost you way more in the long run. So, still plan to schedule those routine visits to ensure your car is in good working order and don’t put off activities such as oil changes and tune ups.
Consider changing out spark plugs for ones that offer a faster, more efficient burn. Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs ignite the gas and air mixture inside the cylinders more efficiently than .8mm finewire, multi-electrode design and standard plugs, resulting in improved throttle response and accelera-tion. This, in turn, helps provide top fuel efficiency over the life of the plug.
Also, ask your technician to use synthetic oil and a filter like the FRAM Extended Guard synthetic oil filter. It may cost a little more upfront, but you’ll be able to go 11,000 kilometers before your next oil and filter change.
Your owner’s manual will tell you what kind of oil to use and how often to have it changed. Finally, ensure your vehicle has received the proper cooling system maintenance. Prestone experts suggest that neglected antifreeze/coolant can lead to corrosion, overheat-ing and boil overs – and could cost lots of money to repair. Whether you do it yourself or have it done for you, preventa-tive maintenance is the key to healthy cars and healthy wal-lets.
Think of it this way, you can pay now for regular mainte-nance or potentially pay much more later for costly repairs or vehicle breakdowns.

Here’s your Fall checklist:• Rake and bag up the leaves• Turn the clocks back• Change the battery in your fire alarms• Winterize your house and/or cottage• Switch tires to snow tires
After the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Winter of 2013-14, no one will begrudge your lack of enthusiasm for Winter 2014-15. Unless you’re an avid skier, we can all agree that the prospect of this season can be pretty miserable. But, the best defence in advance of the ice and snow is being pre-pared and taking the necessary precautions by switching to winter tires. You’ll save your-self time, aggravation and money.
According to a Canadian Tire survey, a majority of driv-ers in Ontario, the Prairies and British Columbia choose not to install winter tires, mistak-enly believing that all-season tires offer adequate safety. The evidence says otherwise. In winter-condition tests, Transport Canada and the Rubber Association of Canada found that stopping was 30 to 40 per cent longer with all-season compared to winter tires. In cornering, vehicles with all-season tires went off the testing track at speeds of only 40 to 50 km/h, while the
vehicles equipped with winter tires had no prob-lem. The results were consistent with front-, rear- and all-wheel vehi-cles.
The experts from Desjardins Insurance agree that winter tires are designed to save lives. “What’s interesting is that many people who live in snow-belt regions across the country recognize the need for them,” said Ken Lindhardsen, Desjardins’ vice-president of Claims Operations. “But some drivers in urban regions don’t see the need to switch. The fact is we’ve all experienced those icy morn-ings when you’re rushing to work or school and the salt trucks just haven’t made it to your neighbourhood yet. These conditions are much more dangerous than just plain snow and having the right tires can keep every one safe.”
The reason why these tires are the most effective at pre-venting accidents is because they have deeper, specially-designed treads and are made of innovative rubber com-pounds that are softer and more pliant. This allows them to perform better on ice, snow and slush, but also in both dry and wet conditions when the temperature dips below 7C. Lindhardsen also suggests that
it’s important to keep an eye on your tires’ air pressure. “Overnight temperatures can drop from 5˚ to –15˚ and this rapid reduction can zap the air out of you tires by as much as 4 psi. An under-inflated tire can be quite dangerous, so it’s important to keep tracking your tire pressure.”
Having a safe winter is a great reason to equip your car with the best tires. Transport Canada suggests that “winter tires marked with the picto-graph of a peaked mountain with a snowflake meet specific snow traction performance requirements, and have been designed specifically for use in winter conditions.” Another incentive is that some insur-ance companies like Desjardins will reward their clients who use winter tires with a dis-count on their auto insurance.

Top tips for purchasing a pre-owned vehicle
It’s time for a new car. Well, new to you at least. Used vehicles are a great option for anyone looking to update their current wheels without the investment of ‘brand new’. Follow these tips to make sure you get the most out of your pre-owned purchase:
Where to start: Buying a car from a dealer versus a private sale is less risky since consumers are protect-ed by various laws if the vehicle doesn’t live up to its promises. When going the route of a dealer, it’s also important to note the differ-ence between certified pre-owned (CPO) and used vehicles. CPO cars offer buyers additional warranties beyond the initial coverage of the new car purchase and have undergone additional inspections from the manu-facturer. Some used cars can also be sold with extended service warranties but are not considered certified or inspected by the manufac-turer. CPO vehicles and extended warranties of course come with additional cost, but for many, the added reassurance could be worth it.
When to buy: The fourth quarter of the year (September – December) is a great time to buy ‘used’ since the newer models have arrived and dealers are ready to haggle on last year’s vehi-
cles in which the profit mar-gins are quite high.
Research, research, research: Once you have a model you are interested in, get online and find out as much as you can about it. Most car models will have some helpful information from the manufacturer, but to really get to the nitty gritty and find out if this vehicle is right for you, head to the car forums. Regular people with first-hand expe-rience will undoubtedly have some insight into the good and (hopefully not too) bad.
Inspector Gadget: You don’t need to have a spy kit to get under the hood and really check it out and that means everything including the fluids. Not much of a grease monkey? Drive that car like you own it (because how else will you know if you like it) right over to a mechanic to do your dirty work for a nominal fee. Then
gather all of the history reports that are available using your vehicle’s VIN. CarProof, CarFax and AutoCheck all offer in-depth reports on your vehicle’s history for a fairly small fee.
Enjoy: Now that you’ve done your research and are done test driving, be sure to ask your dealer about the car’s other features, like built-in audio options, so you can make the most out of your daily commute. Look for the SiriusXM logo, for example, which indicates that your car is equipped with satellite radio. If it is, go to www.siriusxm.ca to see if you qualify for three free months of commercial-free music and more.
Whatever car you land on, you’ll certainly drive easier and happier knowing you did your homework.

Three top tips for driving through a Canadian winter
Now that winter is clos-ing in, road conditions are far less than favourable. Are you and your car fully prepared for the deep-freeze challenges? If not, the following tips will help to keep you confident in the driver’s seat:
1. Have the right equipment
Have you put your win-ter tires on yet? When con-ditions get slick or icy, all-season tires may not be enough to maintain con-trol. A recent study con-ducted by Western Financial Group found that only one quarter of Canadians have winter tires on their vehicles when the season begins. In fact, just over half (56 per cent) say that they make the change before setting out.
“Not only do those who lack winter tires put them-selves at risk, they also endanger others,” says Shirley Parchoma, an insurance expert with Western Financial Group. “You likely wouldn’t drive without working brakes or a seatbelt. Similarly, winter tires should be a major pri-ority. In fact, in certain places, drivers with winter tires receive discounted automotive insurance.”
2. Prepare for the worst case scenario
From increased traffic accidents to vehicle fail-ures, winter driving pres-ents more risks than driv-ing in other periods of the
year. While you may not be able to prepare for every possibility, you can take certain precautions. For instance, you should carry a winter emergency safety kit in your vehicle.
“Only one third of Canadians follow that advice,” observes Parchoma. She points out that according to federal government guidelines, safety kits should include items such as energy bars, water in plastic bottles, blankets, extra clothing, a first aid kit, a small shovel, a scraper, a snowbrush, a wind-up flashlight, road flares, and a tow rope. “It’s such a simple thing, so try not to overlook it.”
3. Understand your protection
While it may sound obvious, many drivers do not fully understand their insurance coverage or what to do in the case that they should need it. As many as
55 per cent of those sur-veyed said that emergency road services are not cov-ered. Do you know if yours are?
“It is very important to have a firm grasp of your coverage, no matter the time of year, so talk to your broker to ascertain the extent of your protection,” advises Parchoma.
Additionally, drivers should make sure that they have collision coverage in the winter months. If you are parking your car on streets and in lots frequent-ly throughout the winter, talk to your broker about the coverage needed to ensure that your vehicle is protected.
Once done, bundle up and start your engines. More information on car insurance is available at www.westernfinancial-group.ca.

Keeping up with your car’s maintenance schedule is a great way to add years to the life of your vehicle.
Don’t put off car careDeferred maintenance can cost you way
more in the long run. Don’t be tempted to put off regular vehicle maintenance as a money saving measure - the best way to save is to protect your investment. Plan to schedule those routine visits to ensure your car is in good working order and don’t put off activities like oil changes and tunes up.
1. Consider changing out spark plugs for ones that offer a faster, more efficient burn. Autolite XP Xtreme Performance spark plugs ignite the gas and air mixture inside the cylinders more efficiently than .8mm finewire, multi-electrode and standard plugs, resulting in improved throttle response and acceleration. This, in turn,
helps provide top fuel efficiency over the life of the plug.
2. Ask your technician to use synthetic oil and a filter like the Fram Extended Guard The Synthetic Oil Filter. It may cost a little more up front, but you’ll be able to go 11,000 kilometers before your next oil and filter change. Your owner’s manual will tell you what kind of oil to use and how often to have it changed.
3. Ensure your vehicle has received the proper cooling system maintenance. Prestone experts suggest that neglected anti-freeze/coolant can lead to corrosion, over-heating and boil overs.

Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting set-tled in Hazel Dell.
I drove my wife to Wadena and put her on the bus to Wilkie. She’ll be babysitting our granddaughter Casey while Justin is on his annual boys’ only camp-ing trip, and Jayne is working days at the hos-pital. Marion wanted to install the quarter mouldings at the top of the walls in the little niche in our bedroom before she left, but she ran out of time. We had
moved the wall earlier, repaneled it and to fin-ish it off, the mouldings had to go up. Well, I decided to surprise her and put them up myself. Now there is a challenge all by itself, as I suffer from vertigo, and am somewhat unbalanced (no, not my mind, my body). I measured out the first section, and cut it. I had intended to cut it a smidgen too long, so that it would “bind” at each end. However, I cut on the wrong side of my mark, and the moulding became a smidgen too small! Oh well, not to worry, I’ll just use Elmer’s
Carpenter Glue and apply glue to the entire moulding on two sides and lots at each end. But before I applied the glue, I hammered a thin finishing nail at the midpoint part way into the moulding, so I could hammer it into the wall when the moulding was in position, which should hold it in place for the glue to set.
Hey! This is easy and is going to take no time at all! I positioned the moulding at the top of the wall, and carefully hammered in the nail. I let go of the moulding and was about to walk away when it dislodged
and fell on my head! Of course by the time I got a hold of it, I had glue all over my hair. Two things caused this minor accident to happen. Firstly and probably most importantly, the nail was too short, and secondly the glue didn’t set fast enough.
Duct tape! Aha! Why didn’t I think of that before? I pulled the nail out, which caused the moulding to get glued to my hand. The glue was still soft, so I pulled the moulding away from my hand and cleaned the glue off both the mould-ing and my hand. Then I held it gingerly with my right hand and very carefully reapplied some more glue. I had already torn off two strips of duct tape, which I had tacked to my arm to be ready to secure the moulding. But I had ignored the fact that my arms are hairy, and it hurt like the dickens when I pulled the tape off! I had to let go of the moulding, which fell on my head and bounced on to the throw rug on the floor. Odin and Thor certainly heard my angry Norwegian utter-ances! I couldn’t get the glue off the throw rug, so it lived up to its name and got thrown away.
I tore off two more
strips of duct tape and tacked them on to the moulding, reapplied the glue, positioned it at the top of the wall, and taped it in place! Wiped the glue off the outside of the moulding with a rag, and after a bit of a struggle I was able to get the rag off my gluey hands and into the trash can. Then I went to wash my hair!
This Elmer’s Carpenter Glue does not set as fast as they indi-cate in the instructions! When I went to pull the strips of duct tape off, the moulding came with them! I’ll screw the mouldings on! Rummaging around in the odd screw and nail tin, I found some thin screws which I thought might do the trick. To be sure that the moulding would not split, I found a drill bit that was thin-ner than the screws, and another bit that was wider that the head of the screws. I drilled the holes in the mould-ings, and then used the bigger bit to make sure the screw got counter sunk. Screwed the screws into the mould-ings, and then one by one applied the glue, positioned them at the top of the walls, screwed in the screws and made sure the moulding was
up snug and tight. Therewere two short and twolong mouldings mount-ed when I was finished,I started at eight in themorning and screwed inthe last moulding atseven in the evening! Iteetered a couple oftimes on the step lad-der, but I didn’t fall! Icovered up the screwheads with plaster,sanded them down andpainted over them, andnobody can tell the dif-ference! I think!
Sven asked Ole: “What’s the differencebetween a bench, a fish,and a bucket of glue?”
Ole scratched his head, thought about itfor a while, and said: “Igive up, what is the dif-ference?” Sven smiledand replied: “You can’ttune a bench but youcan Tuna fish!” Olelooked at Sven and said:“You confuse me, whatabout the glue?” Svensaid: “Yep! I thoughtyou’d get stuck onthat!”
I know that when youmix flour and water youget glue. Right? Butwhen you mix flour,water, eggs, and sugaryou get cake. Right?And I used to wonder...”What happened to theglue?” Then I realizedthat the glue is whatmakes the cake stick tomy butt!
You can’t go wrong with duct tape
Games looking for host city
The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport invites cities to submit bids to host the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games. The invitation includes a $1.5 million investment by the provincial govern-ment in support of bring-ing the games to Saskatchewan.
“These games offer a great opportunity to showcase our province, our athletes and the com-munity in which the games are held,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “Events like this enhance our quality of life by promoting healthy living and contribute to the continued growth of our strong economy. Our province has a long and successful history of hosting large national and international sport-ing events and we’re glad to see that will continue with the Western Canada Summer Games.”
Interested communi-ties are asked to submit a letter of intent to the ministry by December 12, 2014. A final bid package is required by March 14, 2015.
The ministry will partner with the Saskatchewan Games Council in the selection of a host community. A site selection committee will tour eligible commu-nities in April and the winning bid will be announced in May, 2015.
The upcoming games w i l l m a r k Saskatchewan’s fifth time hosting the event. The province last hosted the games in Prince Albert in 1999. Games have also been held in Regina in 1975 and 1987 and in Saskatoon in 1979.
“One of the greatest things about events such as this one is the legacy they leave behind within
the community,” Volunteer Chair of the 1999 Western Canada Summer Games Howard Gange said. “In Prince Albert, the games intro-duced new sports to the kids in our city. They instilled pride in our vol-unteers and citizens and resulted in improve-ments to our sport facili-ties. The games are truly a worthwhile event that will benefit its host com-munity.”
The Western Canada Summer Games is dedi-cated to the development of excellence in sport by the four western prov-inces and three territo-ries: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory. The games feature ath-letic competition in approximately 18 sports and showcase the talents of western Canada’s fin-est young athletes.
Job numbers strongS a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s
strong economy has again produced the fast-est rate of employment growth and lowest unemployment rate in Canada, according to new figures released by Statistics Canada.
Our strong economy continues to give confi-dence to employers who, in turn, are deciding to expand their workforce,” Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. “Thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people, there are 71,700 more people employed today than there were in 2007.”
The latest report from Statistics Canada shows
that employment in October 2014 was up by 3.5 per cent over last October with Saskatchewan employ-ers creating 19,700 more jobs. In total, there were 576,200 people employed in the province, the high-est ever for the month.
The province’s unem-ployment remained unchanged at a low of 3.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest among the provinces and well below the national rate of 6.5 per cent.
“We have maintained the lowest unemploy-ment rate in the country for the past 23 months,” Harrison said.
On a month-over-month comparison, there
were 2,300 more jobs (seasonally adjusted) in October over September.
Other highlights:Unemployment in
major urban centres remains low. Regina CMA recorded its unem-ployment rate at 3.0 per cent (seasonally adjust-ed), the lowest among CMAs, while Saskatoon CMA’s unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent (sea-sonally adjusted) was second lowest.
Female employment reached a historical high of 264,300 in October 2014.
There were 14,000 more full-time jobs and 5,700 part-time jobs cre-ated compared to last October.

Financial and Consumer Affairs Author i ty o f Saskatchewan (FCAA) in partnership with Saskatchewan credit unions are celebrating financial literacy month by reminding Saskatchewan people that it is never too early, or too late, to start learning about money.
“Financial literacy month is a national initia-tive that highlights the importance of financial knowledge,” FCAA Chair and CEO Dave Wild said. “No one wants to learn about money manage-ment the hard way. Take advantage of resources that are available and learn how to budget, invest wisely and save for a rainy day.”
FCAA and Saskatchewan credit unions are helping Saskatchewan citizens make responsible finan-cial decisions. Tips, advice and links to resources will be tweeted and posted on Facebook so people can
learn how to responsibly manage their money.
“Credit unions build lives by helping members achieve financial well-be-ing,” SaskCentral CEO Keith Nixon said. “Financial literacy is an important life skill that has benefits for individu-als and our economy.”
Saskatchewan credit unions have been involved with the delivery of finan-cial literacy lessons in schools for several years. Credit unions also offer guidance and information to members at various stages in their lives whether it’s opening their first account, buying a house, or saving for retire-ment.
For more financial lit-eracy information follow FCAA updates on Twitter @SKGov, @SaskCentral, and visit www.facebook.com/SKGov, www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca/finlit and itpay-stoknow.gc.ca/flm.
To learn more about FCAA and SaskCentral visit www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca and www.saskcu.com.

Highway work done for 2014
The Ministry of High-ways and Infra structure is concluding the 2014 con-struction season. In total, 837 km of provincial high-ways were improved across Saskatchewan.
”We continue to build the infrastructure that meets the challenges of our growing economy,” High-ways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “We will continue to make sure the residents of Saskatchewan have a safe and reliable highway sys-tem.”
Highlights of this year’s construction season include the completion of the new St. Louis Bridge, work on twinning lanes from Saskatoon to west of Clavet and passing lanes between Delisle and Rosetown. There was completion of re-paving on Highway 46. Also, there were rural highway upgrades on Highway 42 from Marquis to Eyebrow, Highway 43 from the junction of Highway 2 to Gravelbourg and Highway 51 from west of Kerrobert to Major.
In addition, work will continue on a number of
projects into the 2015 con-struction season. Included are the West Regina Bypass, 179 km of repav-ing projects, 230 bridge and culvert projects and 182 km of major highway upgrades.
While paving projects are wrapping up, some work continues year round. Over the winter, bridge work benefits from the cold weather.
Freeze up allows for structures to be placed directly on the ice, provid-ing a cost-effective way to do the work. Drivers are reminded to watch for workers and to slow to 60 km/hr in work zones.
As one construction sea-son winds down, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is already looking ahead to 2015. The Fall Tender Plan has been released with more than $200 million worth of high-way projects.
Leading up to the 2015 construction season addi-tional tender plans will be released, with all work subject to finalization of the 2015-16 provincial bud-get.

Create an energy-effi cient home for the holidays‘Tis the season to be
festive, and that usual-ly means stringing up hundreds of twinkling lights to create a wel-coming glow on dark winter nights. Some people view the holiday season as their chance to go all out with re-gard to decorating their homes with an abun-dance of lights, infl at-able lawn ornaments and maybe even some mechanical fi gures.
While these decora-tions certainly may be symbols of the season, it’s easy to forget just how much energy and resources they con-sume. A typical strand of lights uses around 300 watts of electricity. Multiply those fi gures by the dozens of strings of lights people use and it’s easy to see how quickly energy usage can add up.
In addition to lights, lit candles, animated dolls, wreaths, trees, and scores of imported ornaments contribute to the energy consump-tion per household. Even so, environmen-tally conscious indi-viduals need not skip the holiday décor and entertaining. Fortu-nately, there are vari-ous ways to be energy effi cient with holiday décor this season.
• Switch to LED lights. LED lights consume a fraction of the energy traditional incandescent bulbs do. While a standard string of 50 lights con-sumes 300 watts, LED sets only consume four watts. This not only saves energy, but also considerable amounts of money over the course of the holiday season.
• Use fi ber-optic decorations. Fiber op-tic items are lit by one light. The illumination carries through the fi -ber optic cables to the entire decoration.
• Use a power strip and timer. Plug decora-tions into a power strip (be sure to follow the recommended power load for safety) and hook everything up to a timer so lights are not on when no one can see them.
• Check light strands. Always in-spect lights for frayed wires and any dam-age. Frayed lights are less effi cient and pose a considerable safety risk.
• Enhance decora-tions. Use mirrors and refl ective ornaments to give the appearance of more lights without ac-tually adding more.
• Turn off ambient
lighting. Christmas tree lights or the lights framing a picture win-dow should be suffi -cient to light up a room. Keep lamps and over-head lighting off while the tree is lit to save money and energy.
• Lower the ther-mostat. When enter-taining, turn the ther-mostat down a few degrees. Having extra people in your home
will raise the tempera-ture. Similarly, heat generated by the oven and other cooking ap-pliances can warm up a home. Don’t waste energy by keeping the heat turned on high.
• Invest in recharge-able batteries. Accord-ing to Energy Quest, 40 percent of all batter-ies are purchased dur-ing the holiday season. To power those many
gifts and devices, use rechargeable batter-ies which can be used again and again.
• Change your cook-ing practices. Smaller appliances use less en-ergy. Put those toaster ovens, slow cookers and electric fryers to good use. Only use the oven if you are cooking a large meal.
• Wait until the dish-washer is full. Pack in
the dishes from holiday meals, and only run the dishwasher when it is full.
• Reuse items when-ever possible. Many items around the house can be put to good use as decorations, holiday servers or gifts. Take inventory of what you have before you go out and purchase new dec-orations.
HL14C763
DECORATIVE LIGHTS can consume a considerable amount of energy. Scale back or invest inLEDs, which are more energy-effi cient lights.
