Heavy rain contributes to vehicle rollover, RCMP say Four people may want to consider themselves very lucky following a harrowing incident west of Delisle over the weekend. Members of the Warman RCMP Detachment responded to a single vehicle rollover on Highway 7 near Laura the afternoon of Sunday, Juuly 10. A minivan was traveling east on Hwy 7 into Saskatoon during a rainstorm. The van hydroplaned into the ditch and rolled over into a slough and came to a rest on its side. The Delisle Volunteer Fire Department attended as well as MD Ambulance. The driver and three passengers were removed and transported to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon for precautionary measures.

Tim Hortons begins construction in Martensville Canadian coffee giant expects to have new location open this fall By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he worst-kept secret in Martensville is ofﬁcially out of the bag. A new Tim Hortons outlet currently under construction in Martensville is projected to be completed by late summer or early fall.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE Get stories like this before anyone else! Breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca

TDL, the parent company of Tim Hortons across Canada, confirmed the opening of a new outlet in Martensville on Thursday, July 7. A large sign posted on the fence surrounding the construction site on the west side of Centennial Drive served as the first official notice of the major development. Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten confirmed the long-awaited announcement. The developer of the property has advised us that a lease is in place, Rutten said in an interview July 7. As everyone can now see, a sign is up indicating that Tim Hortons is going to open here. Rutten said he is happy to see the national coffee-shop chain establish a franchise in

the rapidly-growing community. City council is pleased to have an anchor tenant in place for our new business corridor on Centennial Drive, said Rutten. We commend North Prairie Developments for successfully landing a high-proﬁle franchise like Tim Hortons. Camille and Rick Barzeele, owners of several Tim Hortons franchises in Saskatoon through a numbered Saskatchewan company, are the owners of the new outlet in Martensville. The franchise owners posted job openings online for the Martensville outlet on June 11, indicating the expected opening would be late this summer. The property on the west side of Centennial Drive was rezoned by Martensville City Council earlier this year as part of a larger development plan which also included major drainage improvements and widening of the roadway. The property on which the Tim Hortons franchise outlet will be built was developed by North Prairie Developments. The developer also handled the lease agreements with TDL and the franchise owners. Phil Ratzlaff, General Manager for the Land Division of North Prairie Developments, noted in an interview in early June that the overall improvements to the properties along the west side of Centennial Drive are designed to accommodate future commercial de-

Construction of a new Tim Hortons restaurant in Martensville is progressing quickly. The new franchise is located on the west side of Centennial Drive in Martensville. The property was recently rezoned

for commercial enterprises. As part of the overall development plan, extensive drainage improvements including water and sewer excavations, as well as widening of the roadway, are currently underway.

velopment and increased traffic flows. The entrance to and exit from the Tim Hortons property will be via Centennial Drive. A centre turning lane will be a new feature on a widened Centennial Drive, and should allow left turns into the property from north-bound traffic. The drive-through for the outlet is designed to accom-

the business corridor will consist of retail commercial and the north end will be made up of highway commercial. The southern portion consists of about 28 acres, and runs between Main Street and 3rd Street North. The Highway Commercial development encompasses roughly 35 acres, and occupies the land between 3rd Street North and

modate a large number of vehicles by routing them around the edge of the property. Ratzlaff said the site for the development was chosen several months previously, and the ﬁnal development agreement was reached following negotiations with the City of Martensville over land improvements. He noted the south end of

Baycroft Drive. Earlier this year, Tim Hortons announced it would be opening a new outlet in the Town of Warman. Construction on that project began in late spring with preparation of the site. The building is currently in the late stages of construction, but no ﬁrm date for the opening of the restaurant has yet been set.

Unemployment rate drops again, Saskatchewan numbers remain lowest in Canada For the fourth consecutive month, Saskatchewan has the lowest unemployment rate in Canada. Saskatchewan s June unemployment rate of 4.9 per cent (seasonally adjusted) was well below the national average of 7.4 per cent. The number of unemployed was down by 3,600 (13.1 per cent) - the third highest percentage decline among provinces. Unemployment rates in Regina (5.2 per cent) and Saskatoon (5.5 per cent) rank ﬁrst and third among major Canadian cities. With the lowest unemployment rate in the country, record average earnings and a record population, more people than ever are experiencing the Saskatchewan Advantage ﬁrsthand, Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris said. And there is reason to be optimistic about the future. Earlier this week, ScotiaBank forecast that Saskatchewan will see an average eco-

nomic growth rate of 3.5 per cent for 2011 and 2012 - the second highest growth rate in the nation. There were 537,200 people employed in Saskatchewan in June 2011, this included 1,400 more people who were employed fulltime. Of note, off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 1,700 (4.4 per cent). Employment among Aboriginal youth was also up by 500 (5.1 per cent), marking 11 consecutive months of year-over-year increases. Despite a trying spring in several areas of the province, employers continue to create new employment opportunities, Norris said. Our SaskJobs.ca website saw a 45 per cent yearover-year increase in the number of jobs posted by employers in June - another good sign of short-term demand. Norris said that with more than 8,100 vacancies currently posted on SaskJobs.ca, opportunities are available in every corner of the

province. BIG INCREASE IN JUNE JOB POSTINGS The SaskJobs.ca website saw 13,035 job postings in June, a 45 per cent jump over June 2010. Employers from 327 Saskatchewan communities posted opportunities to the site. In the ﬁrst six months of 2011, Saskatchewan employers posted 67,300 vacancies to the website, an increase of more than 13,000 over the same period in 2010. Employers in every corner of the province continue to open the doors of opportunity for Saskatchewan people, Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris said. We already have the lowest unemployment rate in the country, and with a growing number of job prospects, people from across Canada and around the world are looking at Saskatchewan as a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Grand opening held for $2.6 million Martensville Aquatic Centre By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he grand opening of Martensville s $2.6 million aquatic centre went off without a hitch under sunny skies on Friday, July 8.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE Get stories like this before anyone else! Breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca

Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten and provincial Justice Minister Don Morgan ofﬁcially cut the ribbon at poolside, providing the signal for dozens of kids to take to the sparkling water. In a presentation to the grand opening ceremony, Rutten said the aquatic centre is a state-of-the-art legacy project that provides a healthy recreational outlet for families. Noting the facility will serve approximately 15,000 residents of Martensville and area, he said the demographics of the community are among the youngest in the province. It s a community that is made up largely of young families, and this will serve the needs of a large central core of residents, he said. It s the right project at the right time. More importantly, he added, the project is already 75 percent paid for. He noted the aquatic centre has been two years in the making and cost a total of $2.6 million, including $1.2 million for the pool itself, and another $1.4 million for the landscaping, parking lot, grounds development and outbuildings. Rutten said approximately $1.4 million in proﬁts from the sale of city-owned lots in a new residential development on Kinsmen Crescent was applied to the cost of the aquatic centre, which more than cov-

ered the cost of the pool itself. In addition, the city received $25,000 from the RM of Corman Park, and a $489,600 grant from the Government of Saskatchewan under the federal-provincial infrastructure grant program.

Rutten said the city also made use of a 5-year, $3 million interest-free loan program from the province to ﬁnance the early stages of construction while waiting for funds from the Kinsmen Crescent development to come through.

The aquatic centre is part of Martensville s active and passive leisure initiative, continued Rutten. The active leisure facilities include our sports centre, ball diamonds and soccer ﬁelds, while the

Scissors kept busy in Radisson Community ofﬁcially opens new recycling centre, swimming pool on same day By TERRY JENSON tjenson@ccgazette.ca

Paper and water go together about the same as gasoline and a match. But, for the people of Radisson and area, Thursday, July 7 was all about paper and water as the community ofﬁcially opened its new recycling centre and swimming pool. Our government is proud to be able to support projects like (the pool), Biggar MLA Randy Weekes noted prior to a barbecue lunch following the ribbon cuttings. This grand opening is a shining example of how all three levels of government can work together to effectively plan, ﬁnance and deliver infrastructure priorities. The recycling centre is comprised of two buildings on the west edge of the town. One of the buildings that houses the recyclables was purchased from Agrium. A used baler was bought from the Town of Outlook. Radisson Mayor Walter Kyluk said in his address to the audience

that he and the recycling committee feel grateful for all the help it received over the past year or so. Kyluk made special mention of Outlook Superintendent of Municipal Operations Rick Pederson, Agrium s Manager of Procurement & Asset Recovery, Daren Couture, and Capital Paper s Jack Astill. The trio were key players in assisting the Town of Radisson go from paying to ship recyclables as waste to now selling paper and cardboard products to Capital Paper in Edmonton, thus saving the community thousands of dollars each year. In addition to providing the Town of Radisson with the building that houses the recycling centre, Agrium also presented a cheque for $5,000 as a contribution to the recycling initiative. It s exciting to be working with Walter and (Radisson Administrator Darrin Beaudoin) to put the recycling program together for this community, utilizing our buildings which we weren t using anymore and being able to recycle them so (Radisson and area municipalities) can recycle paper to us was a great ﬁt so we re happy to be here and we re happy to par-

ticipate, Couture added. Saskatoon-Wanuskewin MP Maurice Vellacott said the town of Radisson has every right to be proud of its accomplishments in the area of recycling and added that the completion of the swimming pool will be something that beneﬁts the young and young at heart for years to come. All in all I think it s a pretty commendable day and it shows some pretty stellar leadership by your mayor and council and their involvement in...seeing the needs of the community and having the foresight to have the administrative people involved to ensure that (the work) is done, Vellacott remarked. The swimming pool, which cost approximately $275,000 to build, replaces the old facility that was in operation until 2009 when it was closed due to extreme leaking. The new facility, constructed by Pleasureway Sales of Saskatoon, was originally supposed to be completed in 2010 but a wet summer prevented work from being ﬁnished. According to Beaudoin, the community was able to save roughly $100,000 by housing the pumps and other related systems inside the adjacent communiplex.

Western governments support marketing choice for grain farmers Agriculture Ministers from Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia welcome the Government of Canada s plan to give producers marketing choice for wheat, durum and barley. This will give western Canadian farmers the same right other farmers have in Canada and around the world to choose how to market their grain. Ministers committed their support for marketing choice at the Annual Federal-Provincial-Territorial Agriculture Ministers meeting, where ministers gathered to discuss how to better work together to help farmers grow the agriculture industry and continue to drive the Canadian economy. Marketing opportunities are being lost every day and it s vital that Alberta s grain producers be able to market their product to anyone they choose, said Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Jack Hayden. We encourage the CWB and all parties to move forward and work constructively to facilitate the transition to an open market so that every farmer has marketing freedom. Saskatchewan farmers spend their own hard-earned money on land, machinery and inputs to grow their own crops, so why shouldn t they have the marketing freedom to decide how, when, and to whom they sell their grain?

said Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud. Our Government stands behind B.C. producers who have called for choice in how their product can be marketed, said BC Agriculture Minister Don McRae. Every farmer in Western Canada deserves the right to sell their grain when, to whom and for the price that works best for their farm business and we welcome Minis-

ter Ritz s clear and common sense approach to this important ﬁ le. Following the May 2 federal election, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced that the Government of Canada would deliver on their commitment to end the Canadian Wheat Board s (CWB) monopoly and give farmers the right to choose how to market their own grain by August 1, 2012.

Our beliefs are shaped by where we re from

VIEWPOINT

Taxpayer friendly platform - Part III By Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

In two previous columns, we examined policy ideas the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) floated as part of our taxpayer friendly platform. The ideas were offered up to provincial political parties for consideration as they work on their own platforms for the upcoming fall provincial election. The previous columns focussed on tax relief measures and more efficient ways to spend tax dollars. Here are a few other ideas the CTF floated on accountability, the environment and justice. First, why is it that politicians are locked in for four-year terms regardless of how they perform? Sure, if an MLA wants to run again, they better do a good job if they want to get re-elected. But what about MLAs who decide they don t want to run for re-election? What s to stop them from spending their four year term dozing in question period and ignoring constituents calls? Or what about politicians like Ontario s Dalton McGuinty, who think they can promise one thing during an election (eg. his famous no tax hike commitment) and then go back on it once they re elected? To address such problems, one needs to turn to British Columbia where taxpayers have two tools to hold their politicians accountable; recall legislation and citizens initiative. Recall legislation allows voters to go around and collect signatures if they want to pull their MLA from office. Citizens initiative allows voters to collect signatures if they would like to force a referendum on a particular issue. In fact, after collecting enough signatures province-wide, taxpayers have forced a referendum on the harmonized sales tax in British Columbia. That s the tax change Gordon Campbell promised he wouldn t bring in during B.C.s last election, but decided to introduce shortly after getting re-elected. Wouldn t it be nice for Saskatchewan taxpayers to have those tools at their disposal? You never know when they might come in handy. Another good accountability measure would be to reduce the secrecy period of cabinet documents. Current information laws allow a government to keep information secret for 25 years before releasing it. What s so secretive that it can t be disclosed for a quarter century? In terms of a taxpayer friendly environmental idea, why not look at holding a province-wide giveaway weekend. The initiative started in Ottawa and it involves the government designating a weekend for citizens to place unwanted articles ‒ that still have life in them ‒ on their curb with a free sign on them. Others are then able to help themselves to the items ‒ ultimately keeping useful products out of landfills. No bureaucracy, no tax dollars required. After the CTF recommended the idea to Mayor Sam Katz, Winnipeg became the second city in Canada to hold the weekend. Saskatchewan could be the first to hold it province-wide. Finally, here s an idea police officers will like ‒ stop spending tax dollars on weight lifting equipment for inmates. Seasoned police officers will tell you it s frustrating to sometimes go up against beefy criminals who had all the time in the world to work out while in jail. So why not make a policy of removing the work out equipment and replace it with work benches? If criminals still need exercise, they could do jumping jacks, push-ups or run on the spot. The move would also save taxpayers money too. Over the past three years, the government has spent over $46,000 on fitness equipment for inmates.

P ublishing

A series currently running on the history channel entitled America, the history of the U.S. recently aired one particularly thought-provoking episode. The episode in the 12-part series covered the period from the post-civil-war to the settling of the American West, that included the building of that nation s trans-continental railroad and the displacement of the American Indian to reserves as hunters slaughtered the massive buffalo herds and the horrific drought, fires, floods and insect infestation that early American West farmers endured so as they could hold on to the free land they were given. At least some of this history should be familiar to us in Western Canada. One aspect perhaps less familiar is the development of the American cowboy. Contrary to all those Western movies that we all grew up on, a third of these cowboys were Hispanic, while another third were freed black slaves escaping freedom to place of equality. The greatest equalizer, however, was the Colt .45 pistol that was a musthave for the cowboys, despite the fact that its $17 cost at the time was half a month s wages. From that handgun grew an even greater sense of independence and freedom that Americans now so cherish. There are an estimated 60 million guns today in Texas alone, the program stated. Of course, we in Western Canada were shaped by a considerably less dramatically violent history. That said, we do share an attachment to openness, freedom, independence and individualism that may somewhat more resemble that our American cousins to the south that our fellow countryman to the east. In the wake of our country s recent celebration of its 144th birthday and America s 235th birthday, it s a thought worth considering. This is not a lament that Western Canadians need ‒ or even want to be ‒ more like Americans. The vast majority of Western Canadians are extremely proud that our nation was built on its philosophy of peace, order and good government rather than America s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. We in the West also generally subscribe to the more conciliatory, co-opera-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

tive approach upon which Canada was founded ‒ one that allowed room for the growth of public health care and Crown-own services. And in the ﬁnest Canadian tradition we avoid being overly boastful or proud about it all, choosing a more measured, humbler form of patriotism. But that there is a resistance elsewhere in our country to Western Canadians ‒ at least on certain matters ‒ being able to hold a few views and opinions that may vaguely resemble that of Americans is puzzling. Sadly, Canadians are sometimes less accepting and tolerant than they claim to be. It shouldn t be this way. We in Western Canada should simply quit apologizing for having slightly different views than our countryman in

other regions on issues like gun ownership and registration or perhaps even the requirement of selling grain through the Canadian Wheat Board rather than marketing it ourselves. Of course, there isn t complete unanimity on these issues even within our region. Nor is our attachment to some issues completely rational. After all, most of us in Western Canadian don t sell crops for a living. And despite the fact that there remains majority opposition in Western Canada to the gun registry, most of don t own guns. But that s ﬁne, too. If somewhere in our Western Canadian DNA there are a few similar threads to the rugged individualism that deﬁned the America West, we shouldn t have to apologize for it. There is no one right way to be a Canadian. Nor can there be one exclusive set of Canadian values in a land this big. We are who we are. And who we are, is based on what we believe, which is often shaped by our land and history. That s at least one lesson we all should borrow from American history.

Reader Opinions Grain companies licking their chops in anticipation Well, the buzzards are circling. The folks at Cargill are calling on the government to hold off killing the Canadian Wheat Board until next year so they re ready when it keels over. There s a lot of money that could be at stake, Len Penner says and he wants to be sure that his company gets its rightful share. Whose money exactly? Not the folks who use our grain. Their price will stay the same no matter who s supplying it. As a matter of fact, most customers will probably end up paying less once they can get premium western Canadian grain from more than one source. How about the processors? There ll be more value-added activity once the Wheat Board is out of

the picture, right? That s what some people ‒ including Gerry Ritz ‒ have been saying for years. Not so says Mr. Penner. The market is saturated. There s no need for any more processing capacity in Western Canada. The railways? Nope: grain companies don t care about freight rates as long as everybody gets charged the same. That leaves the lowly producer. The money the big three (Cargill, Viterra and the Richardson s) are going to be carving up among themselves is the margin they ll be making on

las, Principal of Stobart Community School. However, we don t want to move in until the facility is 100 per cent completed. It s just not conducive for education to have kids in an unďŹ nished area under construction, he explained. High school students will continue to use the old elementary school until the construction of the new school is complete. Students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 6 moved into the new elementary wing in February. The $18.9 million project in Duck Lake involves the substantial expansion and renovation of the existing high school to include Pre-K through Grade 12 students. The Home Economics and Industrial Arts classrooms in the high school, built in the 1980s, were preserved, along with the recently renovated gymnasium. The rest of the high school was demolished. Once construction of the new school is complete, Stobart Elementary School will also be demolished. The project started in the fall of 2009. Nicolas praised the Duck Lake students and staff for their patience through the

lthough considerable progress has been made in the construction at Stobart School in Duck Lake, the second phase of the project will not be completed by the start of the new school year in August, 2011. Despite the delay, students in Duck Lake will continue to have uninterrupted access to all educational programming. Our goal is to move into the second phase of the project once construction is complete, explained Jim Shields, Superintendent of Finance and Administration with Prairie Spirit School Division.

Nicolas pointed out that the elementary students have a lengthy walk from the new school to their playground behind the old elementary school. The senior students have a long walk from their temporary classes in the old elementary school over to the Home Economics and Industrial Arts rooms in the high school building. Nicolas also added that the caretakers at both schools have had considerable additional work with the effects of construction, especially mud tracked in from the construction areas. The caretakers deserve a medal! he said. The adult education area, Little Ducklings Day Care, Home Economics and Industrial Arts areas will be entirely completed by late August. The new school includes a group of ofďŹ ces for the nurse practitioner, public health nurse, addictions counsellor and other services provided by the Saskatoon Health Region.

Pilot survives plane crash Province urges caution in wake of into Elstow internet tower recent wildlife incidents in urban areas RCMP from Saskatoon are investigating a crash involving an aerial application plane that occurred Monday evening, July 5, approximately two miles west of Elstow. MD Ambulance Paramedics responded to the call. According to MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies, a 34 year-old male pilot crash landed the plane and was able to get out on his own before the plane became engulfed in ﬂames. The pilot was transported to RUH with minor injuries. The patient was very fortunate to escape this crash with minor injuries, the cause of the crash is currently under investigation stated Troy Davies, MD Ambulance spokesperson. According to Quinton Eon with YourLink Inc., the cropspraying plane crashed into YourLink s 600ft tall Elstow tower. Thankfully, the pilot walked away with minor injuries, noted Eon. But he added the crash did affect the company s services.

Increase to seniors’ supplement Maurice Vellacott, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon-Wanuskewin, highlighted last week that more than 680,000 of Canada s lowest-income seniors will soon benefit from the most significant increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) in a quarter century. Canada s seniors have worked hard to build a better nation for the generations to follow, and our Conservative Government has taken significant steps to improve their quality of life, said Vellacott. In Budget 2011, the Next Phase of Canada s Economic Action Plan, we have increased financial support for low-income seniors and enhanced the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP). As of July of this year, seniors with little or no income other than the Old Age Security (OAS) benefit and the GIS now receive additional benefits up to $600 per year for single seniors and up to $840 per year for couples. The increase to the GIS represents a $300 million investment per year and is the third GIS increase in the last five years. OAS benefits, including the GIS, help seniors meet their immediate, basic needs and maintain a minimum standard of living in retirement. Vellacott also highlighted that Budget 2011 is providing an additional $10 million over two years for the NHSP. The NHSP helps seniors use their leadership, energy and skills to benefit communities across Canada. A call for proposals for this program is now open. Since 2006, the Government of Canada has taken action on many issues important to seniors including: • providing Canadians with close to $72 billion this year through Canada s public pension system.

As a result of the crash, the TV service for multiple sites including Elstow, Vanscoy, Perdue, Sonningdale, Denholm, Springwater, Stranraer, Wilkie, Wilbert, and Waseca are down, stated Eon. Television customer will be contacted to discuss their options. The company spokesperson said the Internet service to Elstow, Blackstrap and Dundurn also went down because of the incident. However, he said the Blackstrap and Dundurn internet services were likely be restored late Wednesday, July 6. We are looking at alternatives for Elstow, therefore internet services may not be restored until next week, he added. YourLink is actively contacting all customers who are affected as a result of the accident. The company said it apologizes for any service interruptions and is working hard to restore services. In the meantime, we are working towards demolishing the tower safely for our workers and for the public, concluded Eon.

The Ministry of Agriculture has been informed that three bats from Saskatoon recently tested positive for rabies. Below is a summary of the situation: • Three big brown bats (Eptisicus fuscus) were submitted to the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre (CCWHC) for testing by staff at the Saskatchewan Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. Rabies was suspected and necropsies were performed on all three animals and all tested positive. • The three animals were taken from three different areas of the city (Stonebridge, Montgomery Place and the University Drive) area over a very short period of time (May 25, May 26, and June 16). • Public Health was notified by the CCWHC through their biosafety officer through their normal reporting protocol • Public Health investigated and determined there was no human exposure to the bats. Leather gloves were worn by both the finder and

SUPER TRENCH FOR SUPER PIPES A massive trench was dug last week on the west side of Centennial Drive in Martensville, near the intersection at Main Street, to accommodate the installation of Super Pipes designed to prevent backups in the municipal sewer system due to heavy rains.

the submitter It is highly unusual to have three bats (all of one species) test positive in such a short period of time and from different parts of the city. As Big Brown bats are colonial nesters and the females are in the maternity roosts right now, there are undoubtedly other bats that are infected with the virus. Rabies will continue to cycle within a roosting colony and will eventually burn itself

out but not before it decimates the population of animals within the colony. Increasing numbers of wildlife are being found in urban environments and consequently there is increasing contact between wildlife and people. Veterinarians and members of the general public are reminded that rabies is one of the possible diseases people may be exposed to when handling wild animals.

Merissa Simms cuddles a kitten during a visit to the Chaplin Farm

he said giving the kids some experience with animals is very important, particularly as society becomes more urbanized and the younger generation has less contact with rural traditions. I just want to teach the kids something about farm life, she says. My job is to put it out in front of them, and it s up to them how much they gain from it. She said the children s experience is enhanced when the parents take an active role in the tours. There used to be a lot of parents who were themselves raised on farms, but now, it s a new generation of parents that have kids, and I often ﬁnd that there might only be one or two that have that background. It used to be about 90 percent of the par-

ents had a farm background, and they were very relaxed around the animals and would participate quite a lot. But the young parents who aren t familiar with animals are often very shy about getting close to the animals. Her stable of animals is pretty run-of-the-mill: cats, pigs, goats, rabbits, cows, lambs, turkeys. There aren t any so-called exotic beasts, because she says the purpose of having the animals is to acquaint the kids with regular domestic farm animals, and not to simply be a petting zoo. She also isn t able to have horses near the children because of insurance restrictions. It s unfortunate, because horses really are a cenContinued on Page 29 Please see COUNTRY CLASS

Bethany College staff transitions will bring changes this fall By DARLENE DYCK Communications Co-ordinator Bethany College

Bethany College has said goodbye to the past school year. We have celebrated the accomplishments of students and staff during commencement and are preparing for a new year during the summer months. This season of preparation often brings with it reflection, new ideas and ultimately change. Staffing transitions are often part of this change and over the past year Bethany College has already welcomed Paul Morgun as Associate Admissions Director in January and in February, Lisa Braun, Dave Carey, and Darlene Dyck expanded their existing positions to cover the leave of Joy Nokinsky, Director of Advancement. Congratulations to Joy and Jesse on the safe arrival of a baby boy in March. For the past two years Nick Boschman, Athletic and Recreation Director and Erica Boschman, Associate Dean of Women, have played a vital role in the Bethany College community. Brooke Bennett, BA Student, relates, Erica genuinely cared for the wellbeing of all the girls. She was quick to speak wisdom into our lives, challenge us, and help us in our walk with God. Always affirming us in our strengths and giving us aid with our weaknesses. She will be greatly missed, especially her beautiful personality. Nick will also be missed at Bethany, Nick was a leader whose voice was respected by Bethany students, faculty and staff alike. He will be missed for his sense of humour, his loyalty, his hard work, but most of all for his love for the work of Bethany and his dedication to making it a better place - Gil Dueck, Instructor. We wish Nick and Erica well as Nick pursues further education in Alberta and they open this new chapter of life. Lisa Braun, Dean of Student Development, on behalf of Bethany College writes the following welcome to several people joining the team: As of June 1, Cliff Brandes started as Alumni and Donor Relations Field Representative. Cliff is well acquainted with Bethany, as he and Cathy have sent three children to the College, and last year he also attended as first year student. Cliff is well suited for this role having spent his previous career in client services within the financial industry. His love for people and for Bethany fit well as he serves the supporting community of the College in this role. As of July 1, Randi Rempel is the new Associate Dean of Women. Randi understands the unique role that Student Development has at Bethany and we thank her for her contribution to strategic developments as Student Development Assistant for the past year. She transitions into this new role with a great love for our female students. Her passion for working with RAs, mentoring students, and teamwork will be a welcome addition to the team. As of August 1, Wes Enns joins the team as Athletics Director. Wes comes to us during a sabbatical year from

Rosslyn Academy in Nairobi, Kenya. Wes graduated from Bethany in 1992 with a Diploma of Biblical Studies. From there, he went on to get a B.Ed from U of M with a double major in Physical Education and English Literature, and, most recently, a Masters in Leadership from the Pan Africa Christian University in Nairobi.

Clarkboro Ferry resumes service By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Clarkboro Ferry is back in business. The busiest ferry in the province, which operates on the South Saskatchewan River between Warman and Aberdeen, began operations on Monday afternoon, July 11. The ferry was shut down May 22, initially because of a broken cable, and later because of excessively high water levels and strong current. Massive amounts of water were released from Lake Diefenbaker through the Gardiner Dam over the past six weeks, increasing the water ﬂow to between 1300 and 2300 cubic meters per second. Water ﬂow in the river began returning to normal levels of about 300 cubic meters per second late last week. As a result, the level of the river fell by about 3 feet over the weekend of July 9 and 10. The drop in water level

Clarkboro Ferry operator Eldon Neudorf is happy to be back on the job. The busiest ferry in the province is once again operating on a normal schedule, although there are weight limits in effect. The Clarkboro Ferry has been shut down since May 22.

allowed ferry workers at the Clarkboro Crossing to do remedial work on the landings on both sides of the river. The landings and ferry are now able to handle light loads only, as the river is still ﬂowing at a relatively fast rate. The Clarkboro Ferry also has a new cable to replace the one that broke in May.

The Hague Ferry and St. Laurent Ferry further downstream along the South Saskatchewan River are still not in service as of July 12. However, the Hague Ferry is expected to resume operations later this week. Updates on ferry status are available online at www.highways.gov. sk.ca .

10% off Queen Mattress $100 off ANY King Mattress New Stock Weekly Lionel Olynick of Courtyard Services in Dalmeny manufactures a high-quality wood mulch product that is used in landscaping. The mulch is ideal for suppressing weeds and retaining moisture around the base of trees and shrubs.

Decorative wood mulch an environmentally-friendly trend By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Ever wonder what happens to all the pieces of wood that don t make the cut? Most of the time they end up in a landfill. But if they come from the Warman Truss Plant, they could end up as a decorative mulch surrounding the trees and shrubs in your front yard, thanks to an innovative system established a year ago by Dalmeny entrepreneur Lionel Olynick. It s a simple solution, explains Olynick, owner of Courtyard Services in Dalmeny. The mulch is biodegradable, looks great, and helps retain moisture around trees and shrubs while suppressing weeds. It s also very affordable, because when you spend 20 to 100 dollars for a small tree, it makes sense to throw a few dollars worth of mulch around the base to ensure that it survives and grows. The biggest market for the product is landscaping, but it is also popular among home buyers in urban areas, says Olynick. He started his business a little over a year ago after concluding that a market existed for better-quality mulch. He purchased several large machines from California. One machine grinds large chunks of wood into mulch, while another machine enables the wood mulch to be coloured. Olynick said the machines are relatively rare in Canada. The mechanically-inclined owner of the business also does all the maintenance and custom-tinkering on the machines, which he describes as remarkably efficient, but also a bit finicky. He s learned the process, and the techniques involved, by experience and also by tapping into knowledgeable people already in the business. There s no school for this, Olynick said with a grin. You just have to talk to the right people and get hooked up with good suppliers. One of the machines is called a grinder, which resembles a large combine or threshing machine, and is capable of processing tree trunks 18-inches in diameter into small chunks of wood mulch. Raw wood is fed into a large drum, and as the cylinder turns, the wood is literally hammered to pieces, after which it passes through a screen. It is a bit like a big combine, explained Olynick. This machine will do everything from two-by-fours to railway

ties and cinder blocks. Olynick says he only uses clean wood as the raw material for the mulch, because it results in a premium product that guarantees no unexpect-

ed residues end up in people s lawns or gardens. He uses raw wood that consists of leftover pieces obtained from Continued on Page 29 Please see WOOD MULCH

Guaranteed Investment Certiﬁcates:

What an investor needs to know Victor Hugo, the French poet and novelist once said Caution is the eldest child of wisdom . True as this may be there is something to be said for using caution in the appropriate context when trying to extract a truly wise decision. Through the first decade of the new century it would seem that many investors had been preached the benefits of heeding caution first in the interest of surviving until tomorrow as the wisest path to financial success but is playing it safe really what the wise investor should do during these turbulent times? Instead of making the argument of lost opportunity as the best reason to consider investing in more volatile investments I would point towards the net cost of investing too conservatively as the motivation for encouraging a more balanced approach to investing.

ly predictable. This creates a sense of safety. Still, let s look at the numbers. Have a look at the accompanying graph. If your measurement of safety is ensuring that the dollar you invest today will buy you the same amount of food as your dollars you receive tomorrow then perhaps this investment is not actually as safe as many assume. Over time, after paying your taxes and accounting for inﬂation you may very well be in a net real loss position by using these supposed safe ha-

No, not at all. All this means is that risk and opportunity come in a variety of forms. To ignore these opportunities or in some instances hidden costs can ultimately leave you at a net disadvantage. The moral here is not to assume any investment opportunity to be a natural ﬁt for you (or not) but to apply caution to all the associated risks to help guide you towards what is the most wise of investment decision for your personal circumstance.

ven investments. You would have been better to buy a can of beans today and eating it later then investing in the GIC (in theory) and trying to buy the same can of beans with the matured funds. This has more or less been the case for the past decade for higher income earners. For low income earners this risk is mitigated, and the same is true for registered funds. So does this make GIC s an inherently poor investment?

Saskatchewan leads nation in new home construction Saskatchewan families who are home hunting are seeing more options in their neighbourhoods as Saskatchewan home builders are leading the nation in new starts, according to a report released Monday by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Every time a new house or apartment building goes up, it creates more space throughout the housing market in Saskatchewan, Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison said. As Saskatchewan continues to create new jobs, more people are living here than ever before, and we re working closely with industry to increase the supply of homes for our new neighbours. Urban housing starts were up 33 per cent in June 2011 over June 2010, the highest percentage increase among the provinces. Single family dwellings were up 6 per cent while multiple units increased substantially, up 87 per cent. In the ﬁrst six months of 2011, urban housing starts are up 38 per cent in Saskatchewan, the largest percentage rate improvement in Canada.

The truth is that there is actually a real disincentive of investing too safely for some investors. The disincentive of real loss. Most people assume the GIC to be the safest investment around.

everal Saskatchewan members of the Canadian Armed Forces have been on deployment in Kandahar, Afghanistan as part of Operation Athena Roto 11. Sgt. Chad Zopf was kind enough to forward these photos showing the troops Rider Pride and support for the best province in which to live ‒ Saskatchewan! We would just like to say thank you to the Saskatchewan communities for the continued support we have received throughout the mission in Afghanistan, Zopf writes. I know how much of a thrill it would be to have a native son or daughter...to be in their local paper for civic pride.

Today s lifejackets look and feel nothing like the lifejackets and vests of even 10 years ago. Think of the first cell phones - how bulky and awkward they were compared to today s phones: sleek, slim, lightweight. Materials used in the construction of today s floatation devices are lighter, stronger and more comfortable to wear. And the new, approved inflatable personal flotation devices lie flat around your shoulders like a collar. Many times boaters will proudly tell boating safety officials that they always have their lifejackets on board their boats, just like the law demands. The Canadian Safe Boating Council applauds this but reminds those boaters that a lifejacket isn t intended to save the life of the boat. It s meant to save the life of the human being on the boat! So, if you fall in the water without your lifejacket on your body, that fine sense of pride in having lifejackets on board won t help keep you floating. But why take that chance when it involves your life? You may not get a second chance.

Farm and Garden Centre breaks ground for facility northwest of Saskatoon By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

onstruction of a $10 million, 57,750 square-foot building to accommodate a major John Deere farm machinery dealership is set to begin next week in the RM of Corman Park. A sod-turning ceremony marking the start of the project was held Thursday, July 7 on property just north of Highway 16 west of Saskatoon. Standing in front of a John Deere walking plow with two massive tractors and a combine as a backdrop, Sheldon Gellner, General Manager of Farm and Garden Centre (FGC) of Saskatoon, said it was an exciting day for the company. John Deere started out in 1837, and it has evolved into a leading edge technology company, Gellner said. This building project we re about to embark on is very innovative as well. It represents our leap into the future in terms of being able to serve our customers. Gellner said FGC acquired the property for the building in 2006. It s been a long process to get the necessary approvals from the RM, and a lot of work involved in designing

the building to incorporate a lot of good ideas, he said. The new building will be two and a half times larger than the company s current facility on Thatcher Avenue in Saskatoon, said Gellner. It will have two overhead cranes and more than 20 service bays, which shows the importance we place on getting our customers back into the ﬁeld and making repairs on a timely basis. FGC General Sales Manager Corey Leonard said the building will be erected by Quorex Construction, the same company which built a facility for FGC in Rosthern. Mel Henry, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park, welcomed FGC to the family of businesses that are growing here in the RM of Corman Park. He gave credit to the RM s planning department for working with the company to make the project a reality. Dave Chipak, head of John Deere Canada, said the Saskatchewan agricultural market is one of the most important in the country for the company. When we turn the soil for this project, we re going to show a whole new level of commitment to custom-

ers in this area through our partnership with FGC, said Chipak. This facility is a good indication that the best is yet to come. Peter Lacey, CEO of FGC s service department, said with the agricultural economy booming right now, it s important to have service facilities that are state-of-the-art. The FGC dealership will be located west of the Redhead Equipment dealership, and just south of the new Coop Agro Centre.

SASKATCHEWAN A MAJOR MARKET FOR AG MANUFACTURERS By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

While there is a growing polarization in agriculture between large and small farms, the province of Saskatchewan is still the biggest market in the country for John Deere and other farm implement manufacturers, says Dave Chipak, head of John Deere Canada. In Saskatoon July 7 for a sod-turning ceremony for FGC s new building in the RM of Corman Park, Chipak said implement manufacturers are seeing growth in both large-scale and small-scale machinery markets.

ACREAGE GROWTH Large farms are clearly a major segment of the market, said Chipak, but the lawn and garden equipment market is also very important. We re seeing more acreages where people want a good size parcel of land in the country, and they need equipment that is appropriate. It s a growing trend, particularly near large urban centres like Saskatoon. Chipak said the large-scale equipment like tractors and combines are seeing constant innovations that allow commercial producers to be more pro-

Chipak said most of the large equipment sold in North America by John Deere is manufactured in Moline, Illinois, Des Moines, Iowa and Waterloo, Iowa. The company also owns manufacturing plants in India and Germany. He added that parts manufacturing is also important. On a new model combine, for example, there can be up to 8,000 new parts, he said. Plus we manufacture parts for existing models. In fact, we re still making parts for Model D tractors that are 40 to 50 years old.

ductive. But at the same time, the customers who purchase these pieces of equipment need to receive training on how to use them. It s not far off the mark to say that our dealers are almost like schools, he said. This new facility here will have classrooms. They re not just for customers, but also for our staff, to ensure that everyone is fully trained. Every dealer invests a signiﬁcant amount in training of staff ever year. It s fair to say that thousands of man-hours are invested.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Ignorance can be bliss, especially this week when a chatterbox returns. Stay out of the loop, keep your nose to the grindstone, and they will avoid you like the plague, Capricorn.

CANCER You don t like to toot your own horn, but if you want to be noticed, that s what you re going to have to do, Cancer. A letter raises questions about a personal matter.

AQUARIUS A romantic gesture does not go unnoticed. In fact, it starts a trend. The turnout at a summer get-together increases your inner circle by far, Aquarius.

LEO The laughs of youth take you back and inspire you to visit the place you grew up. Bring your family along to share the experience, Leo.

PISCES Gloss over the details, Pisces, and you will miss out on something very important. The success of a friend deserves a party to remember.

VIRGO Retreat, Virgo. You ve done enough. Give your loved one space to sort through things on their own. A supermarket find get the home fires burning.

ARIES Don t let the desire for more stuff take over. Keep it in check, Aries, and remember it s not what you have but who you are that counts.

LIBRA The need to get organized becomes clear when something falls through the cracks. Get a move on, Libra, and make sure it doesn t happen again.

TAURUS Evidence mounts against a friend. Be there for support. A fitness goal is within reach. Come on, Taurus. You can do it. The message is clear at work.

SCORPIO Life gets turned upside down with the arrival of a houseguest. Don t let the chaos get to you, Scorpio. Having fun is far more important than a tidy house.

GEMINI Dietary restrictions make it difficult for a friend to attend dinner parties. Work to change that, Gemini, and create a menu that will please everyone s palate and needs.

SAGITTARIUS Family matters take precedence this week, and you must rearrange your schedule to attend major events, Sagittarius. A book brings home a painful point.

COUNTRY CLASS Continued from Page 11

it sounded like a good idea at the time. Over the years I ve learned as I went along. One of the things she s learned is that the school tours need to stick to a timetable, and that kids who are too busy having fun are less likely to get into trouble. I m actually pretty strict, she says. I have to be to make sure the kids follow the rules. There are lots of liability issues that we have to be concerned about. Years ago things were much looser. The kids, the parents and the teachers are all given a quick run-down of the rules by Farmer Kathy once they pile off the bus. Then the children are turned loose into the backyard, which contains a playground unlike any they re likely to run across in the city. There are retired snowmobiles, stationary exercise bicycles, tire swings that are made to look like horses, teeter-totters, slides and other old-fashioned, homemade

tral part of farm life, but there are just too many lawsuits involving horses over the years and insurance companies are reluctant to allow it. She buys most of the young animals in the spring, and at the end of the season a lot of the stock ends up in her freezer. We usually sell the baby bunnies in June, and the calves are butchered later on, she said. It s a working farm, but I don t want to winter all those animals. It doesn t pay. haplin says she started the school tours about 30 years ago, shortly after she and her family moved to the country in 1979. Both Ron and I were raised on farms, and neither of us wanted to live in the city, so when our boys were eight years old, we moved out here, she explained. I started raising some goats, and I got to know some other people who were raising animals and doing school tours. One of my friends suggested that I should do it, and

29 equipment. In themselves, the play equipment is pretty plain, but the whole yard bursts into life when the kids pour their imaginations and energy into it. The playground consists of all recycled items, she explained. There are forty different stations, and you rarely see kids fighting over things because there s just so much to do. They don t know what to go to first. We wanted things that were simple but inventive ‒ things that trigger the kids imaginations. We hardly spent any money on the playground, but on the other hand there s a lot of labour involved in some of those things. he Chaplin farm, which is also a bed and breakfast facility, conducts about 60 to 65 school tours every year during May and June. A lot of the teachers bring their classes year after year, and there s a waiting list of about 25 schools that want to take part in the program. By the end of January or the first week of February, I m already booked solid, said

Chaplin. The average group is about 30 kids, but I ve had up to 80 out here at one time. It really helps when the teachers and parents participate actively in the tours. Kathy Chaplin s farm website has a recipe posted on it that sums up her philosophy: How to Preserve Children: Take one large grassy ﬁeld and one class of young chil-
