Some Yorkton resi-dents had their eyes on the skies this Christmas. Each year, they participate in the Christmas bird count with the Audobon Society, part of an inter-national effort to get an idea about the migra-tion and movement of birds in North America.

While the same num-ber of species were spotted on the day of the count, 17, the actu-al number of birds was down significantly, 927 in 2015 versus 1,233 in 2014. Geoff Rushowick, who organized the count, says that the mild winter was likely a factor in the lower numbers, as many northern birds lack incentive to migrate.

One of the species with a big drop is the house sparrows, down to 245 from 349. Rushowick says that this could be due to a disease affecting the species, and he has had many counters who commonly see sparrows report very few to none in their count.

Other species which

have seen declines in numbers reported were rock pigeons, down to 163 from 234, and com-mon ravens, down to 198 from 349 in 2014.

Sometimes species counts can change due to people moving around in town. Eurasian doves have been decreasing in the area, down to two this year. One of the reasons why they had been easy to spot was an older woman who fed them, Rushowick explains. When she sold her home, the new owners did not feed the doves, and they moved on.

Not everything went down. The black capped chickadee saw a big increase, 136 in 2015 from 46 in 2014. Nuthatches also had a good year, with 19 red-breasted nuthatches and 20 white-breasted nuthatches, up from one and eight in 2014 respectively. There were also rare sight-ings, such as a bald eagle.

The goal of the count is to get information from across the conti-nent to see what birds are doing and track trends in bird move-

ment.“You look ten years

ago to now, if there are different species... Are certain species moving east to west, west to east or north to south?”

Since starting with the local bird count over 20 years ago, Rushowick says that the big change in the city are the ravens, which have increased dramatically over the past number of years. While there used to be a large number of crows in the city, after they were driven off the ravens have moved in. While the numbers are down, Rushowick says they are also moving into the city rather than mostly congregat-ing at the city dump. He also speculates that they might be scaring away and attacking other birds.

Rushowick wants to thank the volunteers who help with the count. Unlike the birds themselves, the num-ber of volunteers count-ing were up, and he says that they are what makes the count work year after year.

“Without the volun-teers this count would be nothing.”

Numbers down in the Christmas bird count

THE CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT is part of an international effort to keep track on the state of birds throughout North America. Geoff Rushowick, pictured looking for birds, thanks the volunteers who make the bird count happen each year.

NEW YEAR, NEW CAR – The Hyundai for Habitat draw saw one lucky winner ring in the new year with a new car. Alex Myrowich was the big winner in the draw, taking home a 2015 Hyundai Accent GL. This is the fourth year for the program, with Yorkton Hyundai donating one vehicle each year, which has tickets sold to raise money for Habitat for Humanity builds in the city. In recognition of the long-standing support, the part of the next build will be designated the Hyundai build. Tom Seely with Habitat for Humanity estimates that over the years, between $80-100,000 has been raised thanks to the partnership. Pictured, Laurie Renton calls the winner to let him know about his prize.

ROBIN HOOD – Nic Nesseth shot a “Robin Hood” from 15 meters as he was prac-ticing archery on Dec 18. A Robin Hood is a rare occurrence where an archer hits the target with one arrow and then hits that arrow with a second one within the same round.

January, traditionally, is a bad time for movies. It’s before the blockbuster season, so none of the big stu-dios want to bring out anything big, expensive and potentially record breaking. It’s the beginning of the year, so none of the smaller studios want to bring out anything that could potentially win an award, just in case the short memories of the Oscar voters forget that it ever happened. This year there is a third factor, the marketing juggernaut of the most recent Star Wars film eclipsing everything else on the market, some-thing which has made everyone more reluctant to put out anything to compete with the film. There might be some surprises in the mix, but the early part of this year is going to be a relatively weak one for fans of cinema. Instead, fans of film might be well served to go back in time and watch some old films.

Old films can still be relevant and still reflect the world we see around us. For example, A Face in the Crowd (1957) is a great way to understand America during their election season. It’s the story of a man, played by Andy Griffith, who gains power and influ-ence through a radio show, while becoming increas-ingly arrogant behind the scenes. In spite of being released nearly sixty years ago, it has managed to become increasingly relevant to understanding a lot about contemporary politics, and given the sheer num-ber of elections that are happening in 2016 it’s useful to watch a film about the rise and fall of a carefully crafted public persona. One wonders if the Donald Trump presidential campaign, built around saying what terrible people are thinking, might be built around the template established by the central char-acter of this film, albeit without the late film twist, though I would not be surprised if that happens even-tually.

If you want tension, Wages of Fear (1953) takes a fairly simple premise – men have to drive two slightly broken trucks over extremely difficult terrain in order to make some money – and makes it into one of the most tense movies you will ever see. What makes it tense is the trucks are filled with explosives, and the explosives themselves are both extremely volatile and not secured properly, so any wrong move could mean everyone explodes. The film was eventually remade as Sorcerer (1977), which is also very good and is differ-ent enough to make it worth watching. Both films also happen to be pretty good arguments for the value of proper workplace safety regulations, at a bare mini-mum unsecured explosives are a pretty big no all around.

In the era of big, special effects spectaculars, it’s easy to expect anything to happen on screen, and that

anything can be accomplished with a bank of comput-ers and a the imagination. This was not always the case, of course, and that means that the simple plea-sure of seeing a train fall into a river makes an old silent film as impressive today as it was when it was made originally, while early experiments in computer graphics just don’t hold up to the same degree. The General (1926) has more than just a train falling into a river, it’s also a film with a great deal of elaborately choreographed stunts and slapstick comedy, and it still holds up because it uses elements that just don’t age. Watch a film by Jackie Chan and you can see a lot of elements that were pioneered by Buster Keaton on films like this, and since special effects were, by and large, not invented yet, you get the added thrill of people doing genuinely dangerous things. Like mak-ing a train fall into a river, for example.

But what if you just want to see someone shooting people? After all, that’s the main thrust behind most of the films released during blockbuster season, and I haven’t recommended a single film that’s mostly just violence. So let me tell you about Point Blank (1967), which is about Lee Marvin shooting people who owe him some money. It’s not particularly intellectual, though it is consistently amusing how the main char-acters assume there’s a much deeper reason behind the main character shooting everyone instead of his stated purpose, to get some money he is owed. But it is stylish and violent, and as a fan of stylish violence it’s easily one of my favorite films. Given that it will likely be a challenge to see the latest film by Quentin Tarantino, which has had a relatively limited release so far, it’s a good idea to go see a film that definitely has influenced him in some way.

January is traditionally a cold, dark month – rela-tive warmth in 2016 not withstanding – making it a great month to sit and watch a film, which makes it strange that it also happens to be the month when it is hardest to find a good, new movie to see. But while some movies might be old, they are still new to people seeing them for the first time. These are some exam-ples of films that are worth watching, but are far from the only films from the past worthy of attention.

As residents, it is easy to lose sight of what it takes to run a city the size of Yorkton.

On the political side, we have a mayor and council with six members. On the admin-istrative side, there is a city manager, who oversees the directors of nine separate departments.

Each department, of course, has various assistant directors and/or managers, who supervise specific activities of the depart-ment and the hundreds of employees who work for the City.

In addition, Yorkton has arms-length over-sight of policing through a contract with the RCMP and a special management board for the Gallagher Centre.

This is not the city, however. The city is its residents and ultimately, every single employee, manager, director, council mem-ber and the mayor are answerable to the public.

There are various ways residents can par-ticipate in managing the city. It starts with voting, which we will get a chance to do this year.

Individuals can also directly talk to staff, department heads, councillors and the mayor or show up for public forums and council meetings, answer polls, write letters etc.

All of this is pretty common sense.One thing a lot of people don’t realize,

though, is they can have an even greater and more direct influence on city affairs by join-ing a committee.

It is a new year and, as such, the City of Yorkton is looking for volunteers to sit on its various committees, which include: Community Development, Parks & Recreation Committee; Development Appeals Board; Economic Development Committee; Environmental Committee; Planning & Infrastructure Commission; Protective Services Committee; Yorkton Housing Committee; and Yorkton Public Library Board.

Committees play a very important role in the life of Yorkton. They study the issues at a much more granular level than Council ever could on its own. They pass resolutions and make recommendations that are then put to council to be voted on.

In short, committees guide the activities of both the political and administrative arms of municipal government.

Each committee and board is made up of two council members and up to eight mem-bers of the public. Each is governed by a specific bylaw.

The purposes and member duties of the individual committees are available in the bylaw section of the City of Yorkton’s web-site. The bylaws are named the same as the committee.

This is an extremely good opportunity for civic-minded persons to have a say in how the City operates and, most importantly, spends our money.

Potential volunteers are asked to submit a brief letter indicating why they are inter-ested, what they believe they can contribute to the committee and their full contact infor-mation by email to either [email protected] or [email protected].

Questions can be directed to the mayor’s office at 306-786-1705.

LETTERS PAGEto the editor

VAs the clock ticks down on 2015, it is time to pon-der what may lie ahead for the Canadian economy. The near-term picture isn’t par-ticularly heartening. After a disappointing 2015 that included a minor “technical” recession in the first half of the year, Canada looks poised for a somewhat bet-ter, but still generally lack-luster, performance.

The Canadian economy continues to be weighed down by sluggish world growth and dismal com-modity markets. The global outlook remains subdued. Nor are there many signs suggesting an immin-ent rebound in commodity prices. The Bank of Canada’s commodity price index has been sliced in half since mid-2014 and is now back to where it stood in 2003. Moreover, the commodity downturn is not just about oil; it also extends to natural gas, coal, base and precious

metals, uranium, potash, and other industrial raw materials. Taken together, the resource-based sectors listed in the previous sen-tence supply about two-fifths of our merchandise exports.

That said, within the Canadian commodity bas-ket, oil undoubtedly looms largest. Two years ago, before prices began to col-lapse, oil and natural gas combined accounted for one-quarter of the nation’s exports, and the energy and pipeline industries were responsible for more than a third of all business capital spending. So the dramatic decline in oil and natural gas prices has delivered a punishing blow to our econ-omy, dampening both pri-vate sector incomes and government revenues and triggering a broad slump in business investment.

Turning to the domes-tic economy, record lev-els of household debt and

stretched urban housing markets will keep a lid on gains in consumer outlays and residential invest-ment in the next two years. Housing-related spending has been running ahead of demographic and eco-nomic fundamentals and is overdue to downshift. As a result, housing is expected to contribute little to eco-nomic growth over 2016-17.

Business investment is on track for a second annual slide in 2016, led by further cuts in capital budgets by oil, gas, and mining companies. Stepped-up infrastructure investment and a dose of fis-cal stimulus from the newly-elected federal government should offset some of the weakness in private sector demand. However, it must be noted that a number of provincial governments are not in a financial position to join Ottawa in a multi-year program to boost infrastruc-ture spending.

For Canada, the main positive features of the cur-rent economic setting are the ongoing expansion in the United States and the short-term advantages conferred by a plunging Canadian dol-lar that has lost 30 per cent of its value against the U.S. currency in the last three years. Near record-low bor-rowing costs are also pro-viding support to domestic demand - and will continue to do so as the Bank of Canada keeps its short-term interest rate at rock bottom levels over 2016.

Looking ahead, an important unknown is the extent of the anticipated recovery in Canada’s non-energy-exports. So far, the growth of non-energy exports has been underwhelming, in part reflecting the post-2007 hollowing out of the Canadian manufacturing base and the disappearance of thousands of firms in the sector. These latter develop-

ments put a question mark over the growth potential for Canadian manufacturing, even with a more competi-tive exchange rate.

In the past decade, the geographic centre of grav-ity in North America for manufacturing production and related investment has moved inexorably south-ward, mainly benefitting the southern U.S. states and Mexico. It is doubtful that a period of Canadian dol-lar weakness will be suf-ficient to reverse this pat-tern, although it may stem further losses of Canadian production capacity and prompt some manufactur-ers to channel more capital spending to their Canadian operations.

In the meantime, several Canadian industries that produce tradeable services - everything from engin-eering, finance and scien-tific and technical services to education, IT-based services,

and tourism - arguably will have better growth pros-pects than manufacturers or resource producers over the next few years. Canadian policy-makers would be wise to pay attention to the upside opportunities which exist in tradeable services.

Add it all up, and Canada should be able to crank out real economic growth in the vicinity of 1.6 per cent next year, a slight improve-ment on 2015’s roughly one per cent gain, but certainly nothing to get excited about. As the sun sets on 2015, Canadians have few reasons to feel ebullient about the country’s economic prospects in the coming year.

Canadian economy will remain sluggish in 2016

To the Editor:

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has crunched the numbers and the new Trudeau government’s tax measures will mean a tax break for most Canadians in 2016.

The centrepiece measures are changes to income tax rates, with a reduction on the tax rate for income earned between $45,282 and $90,563, which drops from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, while a new tax bracket will apply on income over $200,000, raising the rate from 29 per cent to 33 per cent. The Family Tax Cut, which allowed couples with children under 18 to split their income resulting in a tax credit of up to $2,000, has also been elim-inated. Additionally, the Universal Child

Care Benefit (UCCB) will be replaced with the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) starting in July 2016. The CCB differs from the UCCB in that it is tax-free, and means-tested with larger payouts going to lower-income households.

As part of its annual New Year’s Tax Changes report, the CTF has calculated the tax impact for families for 2016 for 34 hypothetical Canadian households. Some highlights include:

$1,597 in savings for a two-child, single-income family in Ontario earning $30,000 per year.

$1,414 in savings for a two-child, two-income family in Saskatchewan earning $80,000 per year.

$164 in savings for a two-child, one-income family in Quebec earning $100,000

per year.$7,643 in higher taxes for a two-child,

one-income family in Alberta earning $250,000 per year.

“The range varies widely, from a few hundred to about $2,000 in savings, but it’s clear that most Canadian families will have more money in their pockets as a result of these tax changes,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Dual-income households with children, where each spouse earns a relatively equal amount, will benefit most.”

Wudrick also noted that for all the good news, high-income earners face sub-stantial tax hikes, while the rollback of Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) annual contribution limits from $10,000 to $5,500 will also reduce future savings for mil-

lions of Canadians. Additionally, bracket creep will continue to punish all taxpayers in Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, as well as high-income earn-ers in Ontario and New Brunswick.

“While most provinces adjust their tax brackets for inflation, ensuring that salary increases that match inflation don’t push earners into a higher income tax bracket, provinces that don’t index punish workers and leave them worse off,” said Wudrick. “It’s shameful a province like Nova Scotia will squeeze an additional $20 from those who only make $30,000 a year with this hidden tax hike.”

CTF calculations for the tax changes that will be occurring on January 1st for 34 different income and family scenarios can be found here.

Canadians will see a tax break in the new year

It’s time to get in on the rush of pro indoor lacrosse in Saskatchewan.

And, I for one am pretty excited about that.

The National Lacrosse League has come to the province, transferring the Edmonton franchise to Saskatoon.

That we have the Rush here means fans are going to see a competitive team from the get-go. The team won the NLL crown in 2015 in Edmonton, and only moved because ownership and arena management couldn’t get a new deal done. (As an interesting aside there have already been sugges-tions the NLL with expand back to Edmonton in the near future).

Now some people will question what sort of a league has its championship franchise moving in the off season, and granted if it has ever happened before I don’t recall it.

But, it is the reality of a game which is still trying to establish itself in the world of professional sports.

Lacrosse has long held my interest.

Box lacrosse is of course Canada’s official summer game, and frankly it is as exciting, and entertaining as any sport. It has obvious elements of hockey, tons of shots because of a shot clock, is physical, and lots of offence. It is a treat for sports fans.

That is why I was thrilled when the Yorkton Bulldogs started in the city, and the Junior team was quite suc-cessful in the first couple of years.

But like a lot of sports lacrosse struggled to gain lasting momentum in Yorkton, a city where some-how we have decided hock-ey should be a 12-month endeavour for youngsters. Summer hockey schools and elite team programs siphon kids from baseball, soccer and new programs such as lacrosse, in the hopes of many they will one day make the National Hockey League, although the list of Yorkton players at that level is still very, very short.

It’s much the same at

the pro level, lacrosse both the NLL, and the outdoor Major Lacrosse League, are fighting for fans and equal-ly important television air time.

A cable TV package in Canada may offer up a bag full of sports channels, but they are happier to run an MBA D-League game, or a hockey game re-run, than something fresh like the NLL, even though there are now four teams in Canada, and as mentioned a likeli-hood of a couple of more soon.

With all the Canadian teams the NLL should be ideal for TV, and producing a game is essentially the same as hockey, something crews are very familiar with.

One day that will hope-fully happen, but until it does the NLL will be a league often in flux.

The nine team loop, you can see where three more teams would round out the league nicely, has seen teams switch cities a lot.

That is not a huge thing in pro sports. Check the NHL over the last 30 years, and teams have settled and left Kansas City, Oakland, Quebec City, Atlanta (twice) and Winnipeg, now back there, among several others.

The NLL has simply done what it has had to do to survive, and it has been tenacious in surviving. The league celebrates its 30th season this year.

And now the league is hoping Saskatoon can be a successful addition to the fold.

When you live in a prov-ince of only a million people, give or take a few tens of thousands over the years, you have to expect profes-sional sports league are going to generally pass on establishing a team here.

Granted, we have the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. The franchise is highly successful in terms of fan support and making money.

Success in terms of win-ning the league’s big prize is another matter, one which I could write volumes on the frustration that has caused,

but that is for another time.There was the pie-in-the-

sky dream once upon a time Bill Hunter was going to bring the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League to Saskatoon. It was a nice dream for a few weeks, although the cold of a Saskatchewan winter thwarting travel, and that small population base made it folly to think it might work over 40-plus home games a season.

But now Saskatchewan has another chance to show we can be a ‘big league’ prov-ince.

The calibre of the Rush on the floor should be high, as deeding champions the team knows how to win.

Mark Matthews was second in NLL scoring last season with 115 points in 18 games. I did mention there is a lot of offence in the NLL. That was based on 53 goals and 62 assists. Matthews was still 15 points off the pace set by Shawn Evans in Calgary. Evans will play with New England this sea-son.

Matthews is a true lacrosse player, with a bio noting his favourite lacrosse memory in back-to-back Minto Cups.

The Minto Cup, for those not familiar with lacrosse, is one of the most prestigious trophies in the sport.

A little history from the Ontario lacrosse website; “The Minto Cup is located in the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. It is awarded annually to the champion junior men’s lacrosse team of Canada. It was donated in 1901 by the Governor-General, Lord Minto, but until 1934 was awarded to the senior men’s champion of Canada. During that per-iod the Mann Cup, the tro-phy currently awarded to the senior champion, was

also awarded to a national men’s champion in a separ-ate competition. The Minto Cup senior competition was dominated by the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who held the trophy for 21 of the 29 years in which it was contested (the competi-tion was suspended during World War I).

“In 1934 the last trust-ee appointed to super-vise the Cup died, and the Lord Minto of the day eventually transferred it to the Canadian Lacrosse Association, which decided to award it as the trophy for the national junior men’s champion, starting in 1937. Originally, the competition was between all-star prov-incial teams formed by add-ing players to the provin-cial champion. In 1960 this practice was abandoned and the trophy has since been competed for by the Junior A provincial cham-pions of British Columbia of the BCLA, Ontario of the OLA and recently Alberta, of the ALA the only provinces where organized lacrosse thrives.”

But back to the Rush line-up; Robert Church was tied for 10th in scoring with 92 points, Ben McIntosh for 14th with 86, and Zack Greer was 18th with 80.

It helped the Rush that Aaron Bold was the top goaltender with a 9.44 goals against average (oh you have to love the offence of indoor lacrosse).

All made the move to Saskatchewan, so the Rush should roll nicely again.

Matthews certainly believes the Rush should have another great season on the floor.

“We were a pretty strong team. We had a good team two years ago when we set an NLL record for the most consecutive wins (13-0 off

the start),” Matthews noted in an interview, adding it was the next step to win the title last spring, and with the team generally intact, Saskatchewan fans should be in for a good run again.

On a personal level Matthews said he wants to have another good year offensively, something he generates off his size (6-foot-5, 230 pounds).

“I’d say having a big body … On the floor it’s taking the hits and get myself into areas to score … and having some stick skills helps me out too,” he offered, adding after that it comes down to having good teammates around him.

As for the move to the Saskatchewan, Matthews said players took it in stride as part of the game.

“We had kind of heard about the idea we may be moving to Saskatoon,” he said, adding as players they can’t do anything about off-court situations such as arena rentals, and where an owner thinks he has the best opportunity to be suc-cessful.

That said, as a veter-an Matthews said he does recognize there are some

added responsibilities for players in helping intro-duce and grow the sport in a new market, like doing interviews like the recent one with myself.

“I love doing this kind of stuff, anything to get butts in the seats,” he said. “We’ve got to keep winning and doing anything off the floor that can help.”

As a fan I know I’ll head west two or three times this season, (there are nine home games). The Rush started the season on the road in Calgary Saturday, and it was an exciting one.

After a sluggish first half that had the Rush behind, Saskatchewan scored eight second half goals for a 10-8 victory.

The comeback included a pair of goals 13-seconds apart for an early tie, and later in the game four goals in 3:06 to take a lead.

Matthews led the way with two goals and five points, and for trivia fans Ben McIntosh had the first Saskatchewan Rush goal.

The home opener is Jan. 15, with Vancouver the visitors, so if you love the sport you should plan a trip to take it in.

The holiday sea-son is fi nally here and most of us are off to enjoy quality time visit-ing family and friends, getting away on sunny vacations or hitting the slopes. Whether you’re enjoying the beaches or snowboarding down your favourite moun-tain, you’ll want to make sure that your home is protected while you’re away.

With the latest home security systems from providers such as ADT, they’re helping you rest assured that your home is protected while you are out enjoying your-self this season. “Our interactive services give you protection that goes far beyond the role of a traditional home secu-rity system,” explained Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Business Development for ADT Canada. Here are the latest options

available to help moni-tor and protect your home:Interactive Video Surveillance

You can set up video surveillance around your property and in your home that seam-lessly sleeves into your existing system. You can subscribe to inter-active video surveil-lance to record activity at preset times or begin recording when motion is detected. Only you can monitor what’s hap-pening in your house through your webcams, as monitoring centres cannot access your cam-eras.Interactive Door Locks

If you have guests that will be housesitting or getting your mail for you while you are away, there is no need to give them a key. You can give them a passcode

to get in which you can change or delete imme-diately after your vaca-tion is over. You can also lock and unlock your door remotely to allow a guest to enter for example.InteractiveThermostat

You no longer have to worry about if you left the heat on too high before you left the house. You can simply check the status of your thermostat through your computer or your smartphone and con-trol the temperature from a distance. As an added bonus, you can turn up the heat just before you get back if you are returning home on a particularly cold day. Remote Control Lighting and Appliances

You can also control appliances and your

lighting remotely using the same interactive technology, so you can make sure appliances are shut off and make it look like someone is home by switching lights on and off in the evening. You can even program your system to perform several tasks at once. When arm-ing your system, for example, you can also set it to lock the front door, turn off the lights, and lower the tempera-ture slightly. Similarly, when you disarm it, it can unlock the door and turn on the lights. The thermostat can even be set to the ideal temper-ature in time for your arrival.

You can do all this using a single key on your smart phone – whenever and wherev-er. More information on home security is avail-able at www.adt.ca.

Fall and winter can be tough on your home and your wallet. As tem-peratures drop, chances are that your furnace will be working over-time. This results in two unwanted things: greater energy consumption and higher heating bills. In fact, the costs associated with heating and cooling a home year-round can account for as much as

two-thirds of the average annual energy bill.

Try these easy DIY pro-jects to help cut down on energy loss and expenses:

1. Replace weather-stripping around doors and windows. Worn weather-stripping can create drafts and let heated air out, stressing your furnace and com-promising your comfort. Replacing it takes little

time and is a low-cost, high-impact solution.

2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Experts recommend installing a dimensionally stable batt insulation like a

Roxul product called Comfortbatt. Aim for an R-value of at least R50 or roughly a depth of 16 inches (41 cm).

3. Insulate base-ment headers and walls. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut

Comfortbatt stone wool insulation to fit the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will pre-vent heat loss and can potentially save hun-dreds of dollars each year.

4. Caulk around win-dows. Cracks and crev-ices are a source of heat loss. They can also be an entry point for water/moisture, as well as

for unwelcome insects. Preventative mainten-ance, such as caulking, can improve energy effi-ciency and avoid costly repairs.

5. Change your furnace filter. Make it a point to check your furnace filter monthly, always changing it when it’s dirty. This will improve the performance and efficiency of your fur-nace, saving you money.

If you’re up between 7am and 8am in the morning and in no great rush to get anywhere, have a quick look low in the eastern sky for a nice view of bright Saturn and brighter Venus. Down and to the right is red giant Antares in Scorpius. Higher up in the south is a dimmer Mars, and higher yet in

the south southwest, bright Jupiter. For those who like visual puzzles first thing in the morn-ing, in spite of appear-ances, Venus is in orbit between us and the Sun. Saturn orbits 10 times further out, and light takes 600 years to get here from Antares. How powerful does it make you feel to cover the works with a couple of fingers?

Over the weekend, Venus will be moving across Saturn on its way to an early February conjunction with Mercury. A pair of bin-oculars will greatly enhance your experi-ence, but they take prac-tice. For a steadier view, hold the binoculars out near the ends of the lens-es while resting your elbows on your chest. Breath slowly or hold your breath. As always when using optical aid, be very aware of exactly where the Sun is. On the 8th, it rises at 8:52 and 8:48 a week later as mornings start to get

brighter sooner. Early on New Year’s

Day, I took my own advice (as I’m sure every one of you did), and popped out for a look at Comet Catalina with binoculars, which I said could be easily found right next to the bright red giant star Arcturus. I was very pleased that it was actually there, and actually very easy to see (I always get excited when stuff I write pans out). It currently lies in the middle of nowhere, but on the 15th through 17th, Catalina will be travelling northward along the handle of the Big Dipper, presenting a prime opportunity to see it in the night sky. Next

week’s article will pro-vide a little more infor-mation.

Be sure to take a min-ute to step outside in themorning and look around. Our brightest planets are starting to spread out and move into the night sky for thespring, but until they do,it’s a great view to startyour day with.

Next week, besides Comet Catalina, the Moon will be putting ona little magic show where it will attempt to make the orange supergiant giant star Aldebaran dis-appear. As a belated Christmas gift, I’ve have arranged for you to have front row seats from your own back yard.

The Travelling MabelsA “Stars For

Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council,

Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High

School. The Travelling Mabels,

voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/

country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laugh-ter. Collectively, their

songs bring a wealth of life experience to the

stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony

blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three genera-

tions of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both

musically and in the rap-port with the audiences

that most wouldn’t experi-ence every day. With

musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan

to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on

life, they more than meet a wide range of audienve expectations. www.thet-

ravellingmabels.comTickets are available at

the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at

the door.www.yorktonarts.ca
