Fire season begins

PL #318200

Firefighters from Osler and Warman responded to a call just north of the Clarkboro Ferry Crossing on the west side of the river at about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, April 3. According to the RCMP, the fire started as a result of a campfire that began burning out of control in the gusty southeast wind. Upon arrival, crews from the two centres began battling the fire on the hillside leading to the river but soon had to contend with flames in the neighbouring stubble field. There was no damage or injuries sustained in the fire, which was brought under control within 45-minutes. GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY JENSON

Province to decide fate of Corman Park Council votes 5-4 in favour of sending request to split RM By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

TUESDAYS

t’s now up to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to decide the future of the RM of Corman Park. A request by council to split the RM into two separate municipalities, with the South Saskatchewan River as the dividing line between east and west, was sent to the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Darryl Hickie. At its meeting April 2, the RM of Corman Park council adopted a resolution asking the Minister to carve out the west side of the RM and declare it a separate municipality. Four councilors plus the Reeve voted in favour of the resolution while four opposed the resolution. Councilors favouring the resolution included Division 8 councilor Wendy Trask, Division 7 councilor Joanne Janzen, Division 6 councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga, Division 5 councilor Ken Beauchemin, and Reeve Mel Henry. Councilors opposed to the resolution included Division 4 councilor Gord Gunoff, Division 3 councilor David Fox, Division 2 councilor Sherry Mervold, and Division 1 councilor John Germs. Divisions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are on the west side of the river, while Divisions 1, 2 and 3 are on the east side. A separate resolution proposed by Fox called for a referendum among all ratepayers of the RM to be held in conjunction with the election for Reeve slated for October 24. That resolution was defeated by the same vote count. A petition from a group of ratepayers on the west side of the RM calling for the split was presented to council on March 9. The petition was subsequently reviewed by RM Administrator Judy Douglas. The petition contained 2,077 signatures and, after reviewing the document, Douglas determined that although several signatures on the petition had to be disallowed for various reasons, the final number of legitimate signatures totalled 2,053. “The entries that remain

are 2,053, which equals 800 signatures more than the required 1,253 signatures as 15 per cent of the population,” stated Douglas in her Administrator’s report to the RM council. She said the petition, therefore, met the requirements laid out in the province’s Municipalities Act, which governs the operations of all RMs in Saskatchewan. While the petition asked the council to hold a referendum on the issue of splitting the RM, the council is permitted to bypass a referendum if it passes a resolution complying with the measures demanded in the petition. Section 136(5) of the Municipalities Act states: “A council is not required to submit a bylaw or resolution to a referendum if the council passes a bylaw or resolution that accords with the bylaw or resolution requested in the petition before the referendum would otherwise have to be conducted.” The request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to split the RM, rather than asking for a referendum on the issue, caught some councilors off guard. Councilor David Fox proposed that council hold a referendum to gather input from the entire population, rather than just those living on the west side of the river, where the petition circulated. “I think the most appropriate course would be to hold a referendum on the subject,” said Fox at the meeting. “We have the viewpoint of 2,077 ratepayers, and the other 6,500 deserve to have a voice on the issue.” Germs said there was insufficient information available on the financial implications of splitting the RM’s assets and liabilities. Janzen, meanwhile, supported the resolution asking the Minister to carve out the western side of the RM, saying “this is what the petitioners asked for.” She added the petition met the requirements under the Act and, therefore, it is appropriate for the Minister to make the decision. Henry said the Minister will decide if the RM should be split, as requested, or if a referendum is to be held. He said there will have to be public hearings, which could take months.

Improvements to major highway intersections on the table By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

set of proposals aimed at improving safety and traffic flow at major intersections on Highways 11 and 12 north of Saskatoon will be made public next week. An open house is slated for the Brian King Centre in Warman on Wednesday, April 18 from 5:30 till 8:00 pm, with a formal presentation on the proposed improvements at 6:30 pm. The public will have an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation, and a series of information boards will provide specific details about plans for each intersection. The upcoming open house is the second event aimed at gathering public input on the project. A similar event was held last year in Martensville. According to Steve Shaheen, a spokesperson for the

provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, public consultation is an important step in planning infrastructure improvements. In a phone interview on Thursday, April 5, Shaheen said the primary goal is to provide a long-term plan for the highway corridors, where traffic counts have increased considerably over the past decade as a result of the growth in Warman, Martensville, Osler and other communities. “The open house will address the future of that corridor, and look for potential solutions to emerging and existing demand,” Shaheen said, adding that both short and long-term solutions will be proposed. He said the question of whether overpasses are part of that longterm solution is likely to come up at the open house. “This is a very high-volume area, no question about Continued on Page 16 Please see “HIGHWAYS”

The Groovesicles, a group of six percussionists, closed the program with Cucina Bella. The awarding of nine door prizes concluded the afternoon. A competition can’t be held without adjudicators.

Sask retail sales increase Saskatchewan’s retail sales outpaced the national average and rose by 6.4 per cent in January 2012 over January 2011, according to a new report by Statistics Canada. “Busy shopping malls are a sure sign that people are confident about their jobs and the strong Saskatchewan economy,” Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Saskatchewan is a national leader with its fifth consecutive balanced budget, competitive taxes and strong infrastructure, and that strong economic foundation is creating jobs and keeping Saskatchewan moving forward.” Retail sales in Saskatchewan totalled $1.39 billion in January 2012, up from $1.31 billion in January 2011. On the national front, retail sales were up by 4.7 per cent in January 2012 when compared to the previous January.

“We closely monitor economic analysts and forecasters to make sure Saskatchewan stays on the right track

and the numbers continually show a growing Saskatchewan Advantage,” Harrison said.

The entitlement of the boomers

Report From The Legislature

The notion that today’s kids must be the most spoiled, ungrateful and entitled generation is nothing new. It’s a sentiment that our parents’ generation felt and all generations before them. In fact, the writings of the Ancient Greeks express such sentiments. Certainly, it’s a notion I heard when I was young ... although, perhaps not without justification. I am a baby boomer, but I do take pride in the fact that I was born in the latter part of this generation. As such I take some solace in not being as caught up with the self-indulgence and entitlement most associated with those of the baby boom generation. Well, the first of the baby boom generation is now hitting retirement age and, sadly, it doesn’t seem as if that sense of entitlement has left them. Or so a couple recent stories emerging of the provincial and federal budget seem to indicate. The first revolves around the decision by the federal Conservatives to increase to 67 years the age in which one can apply for old age security benefit … but not until 2023. Evidently, special considerations seem to still apply to the baby boomers – or at least those born before 1958. Those born afterwards will now be robbed of two years of seniors’ benefit. For a generation that benefited from the building of new schools and recreational facilities to accommodate their needs, reasonable tuition rates in university, plentiful job opportunities when they gradu-

Previously, I pointed out some of the initiatives that your Saskatchewan Party government brought forward in this year’s budget that were targeted for children, families and students. This week I’d like to discuss a different group of people and how they stand to benefit from this budget. This is a group of people that have worked hard all of their lives and built this province to NANCY HEPPNER what it is today – our seniors. Martensville MLA It is true that the cap on prescription drug costs is rising from $15 to $20. This is the first increase in this program since 2007 and was necessary to keep pace with rising drug costs and higher demand for this program as our population ages. Since 2007, we have added approximately 400 new drugs to the Saskatchewan Drug Plan. The government still covers 70% of the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. Additional support programs are in place for low-income seniors. When our government came to office we learned that the Seniors Income Plan had not been increased in 16 years, this was not acceptable. We doubled this benefit for low-income seniors by the end of our first term, but there is still more to do. This is why we promised to increases this plan by $50 a month this year, with a further increase of $10 a month in each of the next three years. By the end of 2014, this will increase to $270 per month; triple what the SIP benefit was when we formed government in 2007. Another promise made, and kept. During last year’s election campaign, we promised to introduce a Seniors Personal Care Home Benefit. This benefit will assist low-income seniors with the cost of privately licensed personal care homes. Often, seniors face care home costs that are higher than their income. In this budget, we will address that problem by introducing a monthly supplement that is the difference between the senior’s income and $1,800. During our first term in government, we often heard from seniors who felt they paid a disproportionate share of the cost of education through their property taxes. We addressed this reducing the amount everyone pays in education property tax. Mill rates have decreased from an average of 22 to 9.5. That means a cut by over half. In conclusion, I am pleased to announce the return of a very popular program that only seniors can take advantage of. For the entire month of May, seniors can ride anywhere on the STC bus network for only $10 one-way. Spring in Saskatchewan is a beautiful season to enjoy time with friends and families in our great province –by providing this service we give seniors an opportunity to do just that.

mentary Budget Officer and other leading experts have all confirmed that Canada does not face a pension crisis. The Conservatives are also using the Budget to make deep ideological cuts. They are cutting $310 million from Agriculture and Agri-Food, threatening farm risk management programs that have seen family farms through flood, drought and disease. They are cutting $166 million from Aboriginal Affairs, reducing funding for the fastest growing and most impoverished group in the country. How skewed are these priorities? Take a look at what the government is not cutting: polls, advertising, bigger jails and stealth fighters. Canadians should be asking Stephen Harper and Maurice Vellacott how they can justify such a small-minded Canada. Yours sincerely, Bob Rae, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

ated and cheap mortgages in the 1970s and low housing prices, the old age security benefit becomes just the latest entitlement granted to this generation simply because of its size. The generations that will follow – especially our kids that will struggle with tuition debt, high housing costs and uncertainty in the job market – will be working longer. So perhaps the generation that governments have always catered to because of its extraordinary size needs to slightly careful when it talks about who has an inflated sense of entitlement and who doesn’t. The other story that causes one to pause and think about generational entitlement is the provincial government’s budget day decision to increase the deductible on seniors’ prescriptions to $20 instead of $15. Yes, it hits all current seniors (although it should be noted that provisions within the prescription drug act that prohibit rich seniors from qualifying also waive the deductible fees for those truly poor seniors that can’t afford it.) But perhaps most galling is the argument from recently or near-retirement-age baby boomers that this is some horrific policy aimed at them. The province will spend $11,195,913,000 in fiscal year

Change to crown corporation will help Tourism Sask promote government agenda Dear Editor, Our government recently released the 2012-13 budget. It’s a budget that we are proud of, and that will make Sask. stand out in Canada. It is a balanced budget that improves access to health care and makes life more affordable for Sask. citizens. It is a budget that focuses on Keeping the Sask. Advantage. One particular change in this year’s budget, that works on Keeping the Sask. Advantage, is a decision to transition Tourism Saskatchewan to a Treasury Board Crown. Making this change will help focus Tourism Saskatchewan’s mandate, better coordinate the provincial image, grow this industry, and support our government’s growth agenda. This decision was made after reviewing the results of the Tourism System Review – a review conducted by inde-

Provincial Politics

that most benefited from low taxes (i.e. the removal of the gas tax in the 1980s) are outraged by a slight alteration to a cheap drug policy implemented to appease them? The cost of the province’s prescription drug plan has skyrocketed from $120.7 million 10 years ago to $309.5 million this year. Yet much of the grumbling seems to be coming from our newest seniors who see no reason why they shouldn’t continue to be treated as the privileged generation – even if future generations will pay for it. Maybe it’s not necessarily the next generation that’s most spoiled.

Reader Opinions

Changing OAS eligibility means losses in income Dear Editor, Are you prepared to give up $13,000 during your golden years? MP Maurice Vellacott and Prime Minister Stephen Harper think you are. That’s what the average Canadian will have to give up thanks to the federal budget introduced by the Conservative Party last month. The Budget cuts retirement benefits by raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement from 65 to 67 years, forcing Canadians to postpone their retirement for 2 years. For low income seniors it’s even worse. They stand to lose up to $30,000 which could hike seniors’ poverty by one-third. It’s a massive hit to the least-well off. It’s mean-spirited and it’s wrong. The Conservatives offered zero financial analysis to justify the cut because there is none. The OECD, the Parlia-

That is all we have this year to combat an overall provincial debt that will grow by a billion dollars this year. One might recall that debt. It was largely accumulated in the 1980s when the baby boomer generation did not demand better of governments that ran up 13 consecutive deficit budgets, One gets why the more elderly seniors that have already been paying the full cost of inflated prescription drugs would be justifiably angry.

We are in, and we believe these changes will make the industry stronger. The consultations for the Review included key stakeholder interviews, meetings with specific organizations including Tourism Sask. management team, focus group sessions with industry and written input from interested organizations. The consultations showed that generally there is satisfaction with the current model, but that it could be better. We want to be better.

It is worth noting that every other jurisdiction in Canada has the tourism functions in either an agency of the crown or delivers it directly through a Ministry. With this Treasury Board Crown model the Ministry of Tourism, Parks Culture and Sport and Tourism Saskatchewan officials will still have an opportunity and responsibility to ensure that the interests of the tourism industry are being heard. The ability to respond to shifts in the marketplace and technology; the ability to access private sector support and partnership through partnered marketing programs; the ability to market online;

the long-term commitment to markets; the ability to enter multi-year agreements; the ability to carry over funds between fiscal years; the ability to attract top quality marketing people; and, the ability to foster industry engagement will all continue under a Treasury Board Crown model. We believe that a Treasury Board Crown model offers the best balance of flexibility and accountability.

Storm’s amazing goaltender too much for Delisle Chiefs By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Delisle Chiefs ran into a Storm on the weekend that put an end to their otherwise memorable season, and dashed their hopes for a Prairie Junior Hockey League (PHJL) championship. The Chiefs lost 5-2 to the Traveland RV Storm from Pilot Butte on Friday, April 6 in Delisle. The loss was the fourth in a row for the North Division champions, as their South Division opponents took the bestof-seven series 4 games to 1. Despite outshooting the Storm 38-26, the Chiefs were stymied by outstanding goaltending by Alex Sirard, a lateseason pickup by Pilot Butte. It was a disappointing end to a season that saw the Delisle team break a longstanding league record for consecutive wins over the regular season and playoffs. The team also saw five players named to the league all-star roster, and earned a lot of respect for their gritty and determined style of play. After losing the previous game 6-2 in Pilot Butte earlier in the week, the Chiefs came out flying in the early going, throwing everything they had

at the net in an effort to puncture Sirard’s armour. But it was the Storm that drew first blood when Cody Moore scored about 4 minutes into the opening period. The Chiefs’ Paul Sonntag tied it up midway through the first period, but Pilot Butte’s Moore got his second goal on a power play with three minutes left before the first intermission. At that point, the Chiefs had outshot their opponents 147, and many of those were good quality scoring chances. Six minutes into the middle frame, Chiefs’ captain Russ Schneider tied things up, scoring a beautiful power play goal on a rush down the left side, letting a slapshot go from just inside the face-off circle. Travis Firlotte put the visitors in the lead for good just two minutes later, how-

ever, poking the puck past Chiefs goaltender Cam Irwin on a scramble in front of the net. By the end of the second period, the Chiefs had outshot the Storm 28-16, but Pilot Butte led by a goal. The Chiefs had two goals disallowed - one in the second and one in the third - which would have helped turn the tide - but that’s the way the game goes sometimes. Actually, that’s the way the series went for the Chiefs. After winning the initial game, all the bad bounces that are usually spread out over an entire season seemed to come all at once in the last four games. In the final period, Pilot Butte’s Tanner Exner put the second-to-last nail in the coffin with a power play goal with just under four minutes left, and Taylor Metz pounded in the final nail, scoring an empty-netter with 13 seconds left. The Storm will now represent the PJHL at the Keystone Cup, scheduled for Saskatoon’s Harold Latrace Arena April 19-22. The Saskatoon Royals, bounced in the first round of playoffs, will nonetheless be part of the Keystone Cup tournament, having earned the right last year to serve as host team. The Keystone Cup, which features the top teams from the three prairie provinces, will determine the Western Canadian Junior B championship.

TOUGH END TO SEASON

Despite outshooting the Storm nearly 2 to 1, the Chiefs were unable to get past Sirard’s solid goaltending, and lost the PJHL championship series 4 games to 1.

Warman Wildcats Hockey Awards The Warman Wildcats senior hockey team wound up its season with an awards banquet at the Legends Golf Club in Warman on Saturday, March 31. Team Captain Doug Harms said while the team didn’t make it past the first round of playoffs, it was a good year considering that over half the players were new to the team. He said with most of the players between 19-25 years old, it bodes well for next season. The Wildcats intend to play in the Legends Centre Arena in the 2012-13 season. Gazette photos by Terry Pugh

CITY CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY JENSON

POOL PARTY

Over 250 men congregated at the Brian King Centre on Thursday, April 5 for the annual Warman Sport & Cultural Village NHL Draft Spectacular. A sold out board of 36 teams divided into three pools made their selections and filled their respective rosters with the 12 players they think will garner the most points in the playoffs and land them $5,000 in first place money. Funds from the draft will be used to assist in completing The Legends Centre, which opened this past winter.

It was a season of hard work, dedication, and growth that lead the VSA Rovers U14 Division 2 boys to a city championship title on Sunday, March 25th. The boys, lead by coaches Darin McKay and Darnell Kuzek, have been developing as a team since September, and their spirit and skills have been evident in their many matches over the season, finishing first overall points PHOTO SUBMITTED wise in Saskatoon. They also participated in tournaments in both Saskatoon and Regina, bringing home a gold medal in the Kickstart Tournament to begin the season. It was a great season for both the players and their families, and they anxiously look forward to the spring season!

Parents can help stop cyber-bullying Author says steps can be taken early to prevent kids from becoming bullies or victims By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

n 1995, there was only one hate-related website on the internet. In 2012, at last count, there were at least 11,500, according to Sgt. Brian Trainor, a former police officer and an authority on internet fraud and cyberbullying. Speaking at a gathering of parents and students at Hague High School on Thursday, March 22, Trainor said the growing number of websites devoted to inflicting abuse on innocent victims is an alarming trend. “It’s gotten worse in the past year, even despite the growing awareness of cyberbullying,” explained Trainor. “It is a very serious problem in Canada and around the world.” Trainor said 70 per cent of teenagers have experienced harassment over the internet, through cell phone texting, or other electronic communication methods. “Seventy-five per cent of the victims of this kind of harassment don’t tell authorities, and 25 per cent of teenagers actually consider suicide after experiencing repeated harassment and cyber-bullying,” he said. Trainor said the key to turning that trend around is to “stop cyber-bullying before it starts.” He said a majority of the perpetrators of hurtful messages are young people themselves. He said it is up to parents to become more computer-savvy and monitor what their children are doing on-line. They also have a responsibility to educate their children about the consequences of internet abuse. Cyberbullying is defined as using the internet for repeated unwanted or cruel behaviour against someone. It can include sending hurtful or threatening messages to a victim’s phone, harassing a person in an online game, posting embarrassing pictures on a social networking site like Facebook, or sharing a humiliating video online. It may also involve sharing private information by

forwarding confidential emails or text messages, excluding someone from a social circle, and impersonating a victim and then posting hateful comments on a blog.

MISCONCEPTIONS Trainor said there are many misconceptions about cyber-bullying. The most common is that the perpetrator is anonymous and immune from prosecution. “The reality is that there are laws that allow police investigators to access communication service records from internet service providers,” he said. “Not only that, but an electronic footprint is always left behind on your hard drive in the computer even if you delete it. There are a number of ways for law enforcement agencies, armed with appropriate warrants, to access that hard evidence.” Trainor said there are 12 basic ‘cyber-smarts’ that parents need to grasp. “First of all, you are your child’s first ISP - Internet Service Provider,” he said. “It’s your internet. You set the rules. You need to be cyber-smart so you can teach your children. It sounds intimidating, but it’s really not. Your job is to be a parent, not a buddy to your kid. They need you to guide them and set the rules in a fair way.” Trainor said parents need to set a good example and to “stay current” with their children’s online activities. That should include having access to their child’s facebook page password and profile. He cautioned that kids will sometimes have two facebook profiles - one for their parents and one for everyone else. “If there’s little or nothing on the kid’s facebook page, it’s not their real page,” said Trainor. “You need to be able to access the real one.” He said parents can check the kids’ internet search history on the computer, and cautioned that if there is no history showing up, that’s a Continued on Page 12 Please see “AUTHOR”

“This is a once in a blue moon opportunity for us,” Gerrard said. Gerrard and fellow teacher Tennille Fishley came up with the idea of art reflecting the students’ cultural heritages and Saskatchewan identities. “We want this art to celebrate the growing diversity of Warman’s population,” Gerrard said.

Whitney Lepoudre, a Grade 9 student has two pieces of art in the exhibit, both of which reflect her interest in the environment. One, a blue fish is all out of recycled materials and symbolizes how the environment is slowly being destroyed. “It took me a few days to imagine and design the piece,” Lepoudre said. “I love the outdoors and this piece symbolizes how we need to pay attention to the environment.” Her second piece is a licence plate painted over with a landscape. “The car is an environmental problem, so by putting an actual landscape on it gives the plate a whole new meaning,” she explained.

sign something is amiss. He said there should be no expectation of privacy when it comes to computer use, adding it is best to have the computer in a high-traffic area in the home that is accessible at all times. “The key is to set the rules ahead of time, and set them clearly,” he said. “Tell your kids what you’re doing, and make sure they understand why, that it’s for their safety.” He said the internet needs to be regarded as a privilege, not a right. If it’s abused, it can be taken away. Trainor said the basic rules when it comes to cyberbullying are the same as it is in real life. Cyber-bullying is not an anonymous activity, and people who hurt others online are not invisible, he said. “Ask yourself, am I breaking a rule or hurting someone by doing this?” he said. “If the answer is yes, then don’t do it. The truth is, you will be held accountable.” He said parents need to encourage their kids to report incidents of cyber-bullying, and to save the threatening messages as evidence. A cartoonist as well as an author and speaker, Trainor’s latest comic book on cyberbullying, written specifcally for teenage girls, is entitled “Bully 4 U”. It zeroes in on the “exclusion” tactics girls often employ in their peer group. A total of 21,000 copies of the book are currently being distributed provincewide through bookstores or by contacting Brian Trainor at Trainor Communications via e-mail at btrainor@sasktel. net.

Natural gas rates going down this year The Government of Saskatchewan gave the green light for SaskEnergy to lower its natural gas Commodity Rate by 16 per cent, starting April 1, 2012. SaskEnergy applied to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (panel) in mid-February to reduce its Commodity Rate from $4.55/Gigajoule (GJ) to $3.82/GJ, a decrease of $6.35 per month for residential customers on equalized payments. On March 21, the panel recommended that a decrease to the commodity portion of the customers’ bills proceed, based on market projections of lower gas costs over the next 12 months. SaskEnergy also applied for a 6.7 per cent increase to its Delivery Service Rate on February 14. A recommendation from the panel on this separate application, which was filed concurrently with the commodity rate, will be provided later this spring. The panel requires at least 90 days to fully review a Delivery Rate Application compared to 30 days for a Commodity Rate Application. The reduction to the commodity rate, when combined with the proposed adjustment to delivery rates, will result in monthly savings for a typical residential customer. SaskEnergy’s residential customers will continue paying the lowest delivery costs in Canada. Further information on the rate review process, including the panel’s report on SaskEnergy’s Commodity Rate Applications, is available at http://www.saskratereview. ca.

Lepoudre enjoyed working with Neufeld, calling the experience “eye-opening.” Grade 10 student James Dyck also has two pieces of art on display. One is a black and white picture of a church. Dyck’s father used to live in Laura and this church was moved into the town in the late 1970s. “There are a lot of old buildings in Saskatchewan and every town has a church,” Dyck explained. Dyck carved the picture into a piece of linoleum tile and then rolled paint over the tile to get a picture that looks somewhat 3D. Dyck’s second piece is a cast model of a Model A wrench.

Sgt. Brian Trainor says cyber-bullying is a growing problem in Canada, and that education is the best way to reverse the trend.

it, he said. “In fact, these are two of the busiest stretches of highways in the province, and it’s important to look at all the factors. The public is encouraged to provide input and alternatives. We want to ensure the public is informed and educated about the project.” Shaheen noted that the upcoming open house deals specifically with the Highway 11 and 12 corridor intersections, and does not include any discussion on the proposed realignment of Highway 305 north of Warman. It also does not deal with the long-term proposal for a new perimeter highway north of

Saskatoon. “Those are separate projects,” Shaheen said. The open house will provide statistics on traffic counts, accident and fatality numbers, and projected trends. Ministry of Highways staff, as well as elected and administrative staff from the Town of Warman, City of Martensville, and the RM of Corman Park, will be on hand at the open house to answer the public’s questions. Other resource people at the open house will include consultants from MMM Group Ltd, the engineering firm contracted to conduct the study. MMM Group Ltd. took over the contract recently from AECOM.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Friction among friends puts a damper on an evening out until someone you least expect presents a compromise. Who knew you had it in you, Capricorn.

VIRGO You’re a doer, Virgo. That special someone? Not so much. Cut them some slack from time to time, and they just might show you a thing or two.

AQUARIUS Enough, Aquarius. You’ve paid your dues. Back off and let your loved ones figure out the situation for themselves. They made their bed. Now they must lie in it.

LIBRA Practice makes perfect, Libra. Keep at it, and you’ll achieve the outcome you’re hoping for. A personal crisis comes to a riveting conclusion.

PISCES It’s high time you got involved, Pisces. Stop beating around the bush and make your move. A special occasion calls for some extra special planning.

SCORPIO Slow down, Scorpio. You’re moving too fast and missing out on some crucial details. A letter causes quite the stir of emotion at an event.

ARIES Bon appétit, Aries. Prepare for a loved one to whisk you away on a fun, food-filled adventure. Stepping up your fitness routine will put you on the right path.

SAGITTARIUS No more, Sagittarius. You’ve waffled on the situation long enough. Make a decision and learn to live with it. A senior could use a helping hand.

TAURUS Don’t count on it, Taurus. Just because someone says they will do something doesn’t mean they will. Have a backup plan just in case. A phone call results in a flurry of activity. GEMINI Sunny skies call for some stress busting, Gemini. Grab the gang and head outside for some much-needed fun. Fresh air will get the ideas flowing again. CANCER The road to financial freedom begins, and you pass the first test with flying colors. You know more than you think, Cancer, and implementing it is not that hard. LEO Uh-oh, Leo. Your resolve melts, and clutter once again takes control. Muster up the strength to say no and mean it, no matter how enticing the deal.
