U of S students helping to revive Landis Community School

CLARK’S CROSSING

On March 9th, eleven senior students from Edwards School of Business travelled to the small town of Landis, SK – population 200 – as part of a class project. But they got more than they bargained for… Some of the students were working on course-based applied projects for Professor Chelsea Willness’s COMM 343 class, which incorporates an experiential learning component called Com-

munity Service-Learning. Student teams are paired with a community organization for the duration of the semester, enabling the students to apply what they learn in the classroom while providing a service to their organization – like developing a customized recruitment strategy for attracting volunteers, or perhaps a focus on board member engagement and retention. Others on the trip were part of Professor

the possibilities are to work with others to create positive experiences and support for all these groups,” said Cholodnuik. “In terms of how students are building a community, I think we are meeting our goals.” A range of activities like pancake breakfasts, casino nights and dances, Saskatoon Blades games and sushi-making nights ensure there is something that everyone will have a good time doing. Zook knows rst-hand the benets of not only participating in the activities, but just living in student residence and would recommend it to anyone moving to attend the U of S. “There’s always something going on,” she said. “If it’s 3 a.m. and you can’t sleep there’s someone watching TV or studying. And for parents, it’s just a comfort factor. You don’t have to worry.” For information on the U of S student residences, visit www. usask.ca/residence.

ership 30’ course, and from that small connection, rural hospitality took over and spread – classroom visits, a special lunch prepared for the Edwards students at the school library, and personalized tours of the town and its organizations. The Grade 6-8’s and Grade 9-10’s asked if our students would speak to their classes to help them understand a tricky case study they were working on. They wanted to know, “How would you create a healthy and productive work environment?” and “What do

you think empowers people to take on a leadership role, and what has inspired you to become a better leader?” “Our students were shining ambassadors for Edwards,” remarks Chelsea Willness, who accompanied the group on their road trip, “they engaged with the younger students and demonstrated real leadership capabilities, and moments later transitioned into conducting professional business meetings with their organizations. I love to challenge my students to ‘go be excellent’ and they never dis-

welcome students their new homes www.ccgazette.ca THURSDAY / MAY 10, to2012 New residences opened last fall on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon, and they are quickly making a difference for students from around the world. “In terms of developing social relationships, there’s nothing better than living in res,” said Renae Zook, third-year biochemistry student and resident advisor (RA) in Spruce Hall, one of the new student residences in College Quarter on the U of S campus. She has lived in residence since she originally moved to the U of S from Trochu, AB, about an hour and a half north east of Calgary, to take the classes she needs to apply to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. “When I rst moved here, I stayed in my room and only left to buy textbooks. After a day and a half, I was starving,” Zook laughed. “I went to Marquis Hall to eat and sat down with some people, and I’m still friends with some of the people that were at that table.” Over 1,700 students currently live in residence at the U of S, with about 660 additional beds slated to open by early 2013. The growing demand for student housing is fuelled in part by the support and services offered to residence students, which are especially helpful to students new to Saskatoon. “The ethos of residence is student support,” said Sylvia Cholodnuik, residence manager. “The student life staff, the residence staff, the custodial staff, we’re all here to create a positive student experience.” That staff includes RAs like Zook, who are upper-year students who are there for students to talk to and co-ordinate residence activities; advi-

sors, who co-ordinate and support the RAs; and residence life co-ordinators, who are fulltime live-in staff. Between the three levels of staff, residence students have 24-hour coverage. Additional support is found with the faculty-in-residence, currently offered at Voyageur Place and College Quarter. The faculty member lives in residence and offers students academic advice and support, and co-ordinates drop-in tutoring time led by graduate students. As more students live at the U of S, residence staff members are nding new ways to work with other groups both on and off campus. “It’s really exciting to see what

EARLY MORNING TRAVELER

Motorist clocked at 170km by Mounties on Yellowhead A Saskatchewan driver was charged with two offences under the Saskatchewan Traffic Safety Act after she passed a police car on Hwy. 16 outside North Battleford the morning of May 4. The unmarked RCMP vehicle was operated by a uniformed RCMP member en route to the community approx. 140 kms. northwest of Saskatoon. The female driver was observed passing vehicles at 170 km/hr in the 110 km/hr speed

zone on the double lane highway in moderate morning traffic. She was charged with driving in excess of 50 km/hr over the speed limit and driving without reasonable consideration for others. Early morning travelers are advised that police often implement unconventional techniques of identifying traffic offences and should take caution when considering breaching the posted speed limit on any street or highway.

It’s

an awards gala that pays tribute to the best in the business and for the third consecutive year the Clark’s Crossing Gazette brought home some first place plaques along with several Certificates of Merit. Held in Regina on April 21, the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association (SWNA) awarded Terry Jenson with first place for Best Advertisement while Wayne Shiels was named Photographer of the Year. Tanis Shiels, meanwhile, won the category of Best People Photo. “I’m extremely proud to have some of the best people in the newspaper industry as part of the Gazette team,” said publisher Terry Jenson. “We work hard to present our readers with the best possible product each and every week. It’s really satisfying to know that our readers find the Clark’s

Crossing Gazette to be the best newspaper in the market. But it’s also an honour to have judges from other provinces recognize the outstanding work by our team.” In addition to three first place finishes in the Premier Awards, Gazette staff also picked up six additional Certificates of Merit for finishing second and third in judging. Terry Pugh was presented with an Award of Merit for third place in the Best Sports Story category for his feature “Low Key Legend” about the late National Hockey League veteran Vic Lynn of Warman. His stories “A Little Known Treasure” and “SaskPower set to build transmission lines, switching stations in area” were third place finishers in the Best Habitat Conservation Writing and Best Business Writing categories respectively. In addition to being judged Photographer of the Year, Wayne Shiels was also presented with a third place finish for Wildlife Photo of the Year for his August 11, 2011 picture titled “Dinnertime”.

The award for Best Advertisement in the province was presented to Terry Jenson for a flex-form ad that was published for a local pizza company in January 2011. Jenson was also a finalist for Photographer of the Year, finishing third in judging behind Shiels and Chad Gibson of the Lloydminster Meridian Booster. A photo depicting the crash of a surveying aircraft in April 2011 also earned Jenson a second place finish behind Mac Christie of the Meadow Lake Northern Pride in the Best Hard News Photo category. Tanis Shiels’ photo “Bubble Bash” from June 2011 was chosen as tops in the Best people Photo category, ahead of entries from the Whitewood Herald and Swift Current Prairie Post. Entries for the SWNA Better Newspapers Competition are accepted from the association’s 86 members and are judged independently by industry peers from other provinces as well as category sponsors outside the newspaper industry.

In excess of two inches of rain fell over the weekend soaking everything in sight, including an area of Diamond Park on 4th Street in Warman. The rain has delayed seeding operations in a large chunk of the province but, if the long-term forecast is correct, there should be plenty of sun and more normal temperatures for the next couple of weeks.

Average Sask. wages rise in February Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings rose by 5.0 per cent in February 2012, compared to February of last year, the highest increase among the provinces according to Statistics Canada. Average weekly earnings in the province were $905.98 - the third highest among the provinces after Alberta at $1,057.57 and Newfoundland and Labrador at $919.08, and above the national average of $886.45. With inflation of 2.0 per cent factored in, Saskatchewan had a real wage increase of 3.0 per cent compared to a national decrease of 0.8 per cent. “Workers in Saskatchewan are seeing increases in weekly earnings,

indicating long-term stability in the workplace and a promising future,” Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris said. “With the lowest unemployment rate in Canada, our province offers tremendous opportunities for Saskatchewan citizens and continues to be attractive to people from across our nation and the world.” Saskatchewan also recorded an increase of 3.2 per cent in the number of occupied payroll jobs compared to a year ago, above the national increase of 1.2 per cent. Saskatchewan’s percentage increase in the number of payroll jobs was the second highest among the provinces, behind Alberta at 4.6 per cent.

The combination of fundraising and education is a formula that’s worked for many years in Dalmeny, said Elder in an interview. “It started out as a fundraising event, and it still is,” he said. “It helps with buying additional equipment and upgrading tools and helping with training of the members. But more and more it’s become a community event. People have come to expect this breakfast during the first Saturday in May.” Elder said the department first fired up the grills for flapjacks over

two decades ago. “We’ve been slinging pancakes for 22 years now,” he said. “It’s a tradition. It’s also our biggest fundraiser of the year, and it’s helped us pay for a lot of the vehicles and equipment we have now. It’s paid for the rescue unit, and it’s helped pay for the one-ton trucks.” The Fire Chief said over the past few years funds were directed toward the purchase of the Command Centre vehicle, a speciallyContinued on Page 19 Please see “DALMENY FIRE DEPT.”

n an emergency situation, every second counts. That’s why it’s important to be ready for anything, says Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder. “Training is a big part of being a volunteer firefighter and First Responder,” he said. “You need to know what to do, and do it as quickly and safely as possible, because lots of times people’s lives are at stake.” At a fundraising event at the Dalmeny arena on Saturday, May 5, members of the community’s fire department treated hundreds of people to a hearty pancake breakfast before putting on a show. Four members of the department demonstrated the tools and procedures used to extricate an accident victim from a vehicle. After stabilizing the vehicle, breaking the glass and removing the doors, the firefighters used hand cutters and power saws to cut through the roof supports of the vehicle. The whole operation took just a few minutes, and an appreciative crowd watched the demonstration at a safe distance.

Affinity Credit Union establishes charitable foundation By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

new charitable foundation is being launched by Affinity Credit Union to support organizations that do charitable work in communities throughout the region. The Affinity Credit Union Foundation is a registered charitable foundation that will disburse funds to local charities and community organizations, according to Pat Brothers. Speaking at the Affinity Credit Union District 7 mem-

bership meeting in Dalmeny April 24, Brothers said the new foundation is aimed at helping grassroots groups meet community needs by building capacity. “The Credit Union foundation is a registered charity that has the ability, through endowments, gifts and small donations from credit union members and the general public, to help fund a wide range of projects and initiatives,” she said. “The foundation will bring together groups of people to discuss common is-

She noted that while Affinity and other credit unions provide financial resources to assist people achieve their goals and objectives, the foundation is aimed at expanding the credit union’s role. “The foundation provides an opportunity for members of the credit union to leave endowments to the Affinity Foundation,” she said. “The idea for the foundation came

from the members themselves. There were a lot of requests from members who wanted to be able to leave a sum of money to charitable organizations, and they wanted to do it through their credit union. So now, if members feel they would like to leave bequests, then we can distribute them to various community groups.” The criteria for funding is currently being drafted by the new foundation’s board of directors, she added. “But it’s all about helping create opportunities within the community.”

Crowns working for all of Saskatchewan

Quite often, reporting on government becomes an exercise in informing the public of what’s gone wrong. Today, however, it’s pleasing to talk about what’s gone right. The subject matter may surprise you a bit – Saskatchewan’s Crown corporations have often been the focus of bad news like rate hikes, bad investments that have lost taxpayers money, failure to provide needed services and, of course, a large and growing provincial debt. And in the last quarter of a century or so, the Crowns have also been the centre of political controversy over whether or not they should exist at all. This debate over privatization has been the subject of virtually every provincial election since 1991. That we are talking today about nothing but good news in our Crown sector front is almost newsworthy in itself. Of course, I say “almost” nothing but good news. The Crown sector isn’t quite perfect yet. There is still the Sas-

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

katchewan Transportation Company, whose $11.4-million operating loss in 2011 represents a steady rise from the $10.9-million loss in 2010, the $10.6-million loss in 2009, the $8.5-million loss in 2008 and the $6.7-million loss in 2007. Those of us that inhabit the cities, in particular, often sit back and wonder about why the government is the retail liquor selling business at all – as opposed to restricting its involvement to the wholesale distribution business like most every other government in the free world. After all, this concept of private liquor purchasing isn’t exactly foreign to much of rural Saskatchewan that has private liquor vendors and hasn’t seen the end of world yet. There are still legitimate questions about SaskPower rates and SaskTel cell cover-

age. And there remains nagging questions about Crown debt that continues to pile about as the Crowns spend a billion dollars a year on infrastructure including a predicted $1.7 billion in 2012. But while you may have heard a little grumbling about all or some of the above, the Crown sector has actually quietly been out of sight and out mind for most of Saskatchewan in the last couple of years. That’s because it has quietly gone about its business in recent times of providing services for Saskatchewan taxpayers and, yes, providing health profits. In fact, according to the Crown Investments Corp. (CIC) 2011 annual report released last week, our provincial Crowns posted profits of $450.9 million last year on $4.6 billion in revenues – a healthy return on investment in the range of 10 per cent. This comes on the heels of a tidy $436.3-million profit in 2010, so it appears that another solid year in the Crown

sector is becoming less of a rarity and more of a trend. Remember, we may be talking about monopoly utilities in some cases, but our Crown corporations aren’t exactly private companies mandated to achieve as large a return for their shareholders as possible. Instead, they are mandated to provide services to customers that they might not otherwise get service (again, things like STC bus routes or SaskTel cell phone services in remote and rural areas) at the lowest rates possible. Add to this the fact that the Crown corporations are also expected to provide healthy dividends so that the government can balance its own books. In 2011, that dividend to the general revenue fund was $128.5 million – less than the $471-million dividend in 2010 or the $755-million dividend in 2009, but a healthy dividend nonetheless. (Also, the Crowns are expected to provide a $273-million in 2012 and dividends of around $150 million a year for the

next five years or so, according to CIC officials.) Setting aside whether or not governments should be so reliant on the Crown corporation dividends, they clearly

are. So it’s good to report that we now seem to have a healthy Crown sector that is generally fulfilling its mandate.

Reader Opinions Legal difficulties in retaining Sask. crown corporations Murray Mandryk’s “political commentary” in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix on May 2, 2012 does not do a fair calculation of costs and profits accrued to the crown corporations. Suing a crown corporation in the Province of Saskatchewan for damages is a difficult, costly and uncertain prospect. As the government has set up the rules and regulations it should come as no surprise that they have made prosecution of itself and its “crowns” difficult if not impossible for the average person in the province. Terrible actions by the crowns are encouraged by shielding them from prosecution. As a taxpayer suing a crown corporation you are left paying for their prosecution and through your taxes paying for their defense. Take as an example what happened to Minot, North Dakota in 2011. There were also communities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba that were devastated by flooding. In April 2011 the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority (SWA) managed to fill both the Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs not only to the full-supply level (FSL) but up to the maximum flood elevation. In both dams there was no possibility for flood control downstream. On the U.S. side of the Souris River Lake Darling was also filled to the top. Maximum revenue would now be available for electricity production and water sales. What could possibly happen that would require space left in any of the three dams? When the snow melted and the

Gazette

rains came at the usual time of the year there was no space in the dams for any flood control. Community after community was flooded as water coming into Alameda and Rafferty had to go downstream. Thank God for disaster assistance – pennies on the dollar for damages. The water from the Rafferty and Alameda headed south to Lake Darling flooding communities south of the border. As Lake Darling was full, water had to go to Minot, North Dakota. After flooding Minot (luckily for SWA Lake Darling operators helped in this task), the Souris River turns north into Manitoba. Here the water that could in no way be reduced by a full Rafferty, Alameda and Lake Darling flooded communities in Manitoba. The water from the Souris joined the water from the Qu’Appelle River in the Assiniboine River in Manitoba. If these damages were fairly assessed against the responsible parties I do not believe there would be enough money left in any crown corporation in Saskatchewan. Discussing “healthy Crowns” is meaningless. Revenue is attributed to them but costs of their actions are divided among the taxpayers of the Province. It is my firm belief – Saskatchewan cannot afford to retain its Crown Corporations – not if they operate in the current manner – the liability to the taxpayer is too high.

Cutting OAS will hurt poor seniors the most Last month’s federal budget made it official: the government is raising the age for Old Age Security (OAS) from 65 to 67. Any Canadian born after March 31, 1958 must wait up to two years longer before receiving their OAS pension. What will these cuts mean for Canada? Let’s consider who depends on OAS. Today, four out of every ten Canadians who receive OAS are living on less than $20,000 per year. Single women are more likely to rely on OAS as their main source of income. Rural communities, with their older populations, are also more likely to be hurt by cuts to OAS. The OAS program includes the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), which is a monthly allowance for lowincome seniors. By raising the age for OAS, the government is also raising the age for GIS – a move that will hit Canada’s most vulnerable seniors the hardest. Making Canadians wait another two years before receiving OAS takes away more than $15,000 per year from the very seniors who can least afford it. The government’s message to these Canadians is clear: You are on your own. You should work longer. You should have saved more. If you are 50 right now, you may have been counting on receiving OAS when you turn 65. Now you must try to find an additional two years of income to live off. Unfortunately, working longer isn’t an option for many baby boomers and future seniors. For workers with physically demanding jobs – such as construction

workers, miners, and those who work on their feet all day on a plant floor – by the time they reach the age of 65, their bodies may not allow them to continue working. High local unemployment may keep others from working longer. According to the latest tax returns, almost half of all Canadians earn less than $25,000 per year. You can’t save for tomorrow when you can hardly pay the bills today. The inevitable result of cuts to OAS will be increased hardship for many seniors, while provincial governments are left picking up the tab with new seniors on social assistance. Cutting the pensions of the most vulnerable is not right in a successful country like Canada. The federal government says it must make these cuts to OAS in order to make the program sustainable. Nothing could be further from the truth. Experts from the OECD and World Bank, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and even Canada’s own Chief Actuary have all said that Canada’s OAS system is already sustainable. It doesn’t need to be cut. The government’s own experts have looked at population and economic projections and concluded that “there is no pressing financial or fiscal

need to increase pension ages in the foreseeable future.” If the government truly believes – against all evidence to the contrary – that OAS must be cut in order to be saved, why didn’t the prime minister say this during the election last year? After all, we’ve known about the baby boom generation for some time. But the Conservative Party did not warn Canadian seniors about their plans to cut OAS. Instead, this is what the party promised in its 2011 election platform: “We will not cut transfer payments to individuals or to the provinces for essential things like healthcare, education and pensions.” OAS is a transfer payment to individuals for pensions. For our most vulnerable seniors, it is their only source of income. According to recent public opinion polls, Canadians believe that income inequality – the growing gap between rich and poor – is the most important issue facing the country. By cutting OAS, the government is doing something about income inequality. It is making it worse. Scott Brison, MP Finance Critic for the Liberal Party of Canada

Speaking at the Affinity Credit Union District 7 membership meeting in Dalmeny on Tuesday, April 24, de Moissac said the strength of the provincial economy played a big part in the credit union’s growth. “At the beginning of 2011, we planned to grow our balance sheet by $114 million, which is quite substantial, even for a $2 billion organization,” de Moissac said. “But we actually grew by $182 million, or 8.5 per cent. We haven’t seen that kind of growth since the economic downturn in 2007. This was a phenomenal year for us.” The other component in the credit union’s strong bottom line is the professional staff at each of its 44 branches across the province, she said. She said the institution’s loan portfolio expanded 7.53% last year, and deposits grew by 8.64%. Overall, investment growth for 2011 was 13.71%, which exceeded the budgeted amount of 2.57%. She said the credit union ended the year with sufficient pre-tax income to consider a distribution of profit to members and to staff. Effective December 31, 2011, the Affinity Credit Union Board declared patronage to the membership in the amount of $2.3 million.

Mike McLeod is the District 7 representative on the Affinity Credit Union Board of Directors. The communities of Osler, Hague, Rosthern and Aberdeen are in District 1, while Warman is part of District 3, which also includes Saskatoon. COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

In a pre-recorded address to the membership meeting, Affinity Credit Union Board President Kearney Healy de-

scribed 2011 as a year of challenges and successes. Overall, Healy said, the institution strengthened its commitment to the communities it serves in terms of social and economic development. “We provided patronage to our members, created employment, supported small businesses, fostered innovation and entrepreneurship, and where possible, purchased products and services from local suppliers.”

TRAFFIC FLOW: Clarkboro Ferry vehicle count keeps rising By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ore people are counting on the Clarkboro Ferry every year. Newly-updated figures from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure show the Clarkboro Ferry carried 85,193 vehicles in 2010 - the most recent year for which statistics are available. That’s a massive increase from 2001. A little over a decade ago, the ferry carried 58,303 vehicles. The Clarkboro Ferry’s busiest season was 2009, when a record 91,462 vehicles used the vessel. The Clarkboro Ferry connects the communities of Warman and Aberdeen via Township Road 390, also known as Grid 784 or the Warman Ferry Road. Originally known as Clark’s Crossing, the first ferry crossing dates back to the 1880s and was named for William F. Clark, a settler from Ontario who came west as a surveyor for the Dominion Telegraph Line. Overall, there has been a steadily increasing trend of more traffic every year, according to Steve Shaheen, a communications official with the Ministry of Highways. In an interview, Shaheen said the Clarkboro Ferry actually carries more than twice as many vehicles as the next two busiest ferries in the 13-vessel provincial fleet. “It’s a very significant load,” said “Shaheen. “To put things in perspective, the Paynton Ferry and Riverhurst Ferry are number 2 and number 3 on the list in terms of the amount of traffic they carry. And they generally have between 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per season. Clarkboro carries more than the next two

busiest ferries put together.” Shaheen said there has been a major jump in traffic using the Clarkboro Ferry since 2005. The traffic increase coincides with a significant rise in the population of the area, particularly in the community of Warman.

TRANSPORTATION LINK Shaheen said the Clarkboro Ferry and the other vessels in the fleet are an important part of the provincial transportation system. While the rise in the traffic count along Township Road 390 is significant, Shaheen said there isn’t much chance of a bridge being built to replace the Clarkboro Ferry anytime soon. “It’s not being contemplated at this time,” he confirmed. “The ferry is likely to continue in service for many years to come.”

In 2011, the ferry was closed for 6 weeks due to excessively high river levels caused by flooding, causing significant inconvenience to commuters, farmers, truckers and travellers. The annual freeze-up of the river also puts a damper on travel across the river at that point, although a signficant number of vehicles cross on the river ice. The Highways Ministry does not maintain the ice crossing and motorists cross at their own risk. There have been rare instances of vehicles breaking through the ice, particularly during the early spring. The Clarkboro Ferry weighs 34. 5 tonnes (38 tons), is 60 feet in length with a 20 foot beam, and is capable of carrying 6 cars. The Riverhurst Ferry is the largest vessel in the fleet and was built to withstand the

rough waters of Lake Diefenbaker. It weighs 90.7 tonnes (100 tons) and is 117 feet long by 46 feet wide. It is capable of carrying 15 cars.

HAGUE FERRY STEADY The annual vehicle count for the Hague Ferry has been relatively stable for the past decade, according to the Ministry of Highways. Statistics reveal the Hague Ferry carries between 8,000 to 13,000 vehicles per season. Shaheen said because the river crossing is further from major highways, the majority of vehicles using the ferry are local traffic. The Hague Ferry weighs 32.5 tons (29.5 tonnes), and has a length of 56 feet and a beam of 19 feet. It can carry 6 cars per load. FERRY OPERATIONS The Highways Ministry operates ferries at Lemsford,

The Clarkboro Ferry operates from 5:00 am to midnight.

The Riverhurst Ferry operates 24 hours a day. All other ferries operate from 7:00 am to midnight. Ferry crossing status can change depending on weather and river conditions. Updates can be found on the Ministry of Highways website.

With playing partner Todd White of presenting sponsor HBI Brennan Reed looking on, Reed was joined May 5 by fellow alumni Steve Mazurek and current Roughrider receiver Jordan Sisco for the 1st Annual Warman Kidsport Charity Golf Classic. The event included a steak dinner, prizes, a short question and answer session as well as an autograph session. Signed Roughrider jerseys belonging to the trio were also auctioned off, contributing to a total of $6,600 in proceeds going to KidSport in Warman.

Sask Valley Vipers chosen in WHL Bantam Draft By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

our players with the Sask Valley Vipers Bantam AA hockey team were drafted by Western Hockey League (WHL) teams last week. Evan Fiala of Clavet was drafted in the first round by the Spokane Chiefs. Fiala was chosen 14th overall. Terrell Draude of Warman, the Vipers Captain, went in the second round. He was chosen 39th overall by the Calgary Hitmen. Ryan Rothenburger of Radisson was drafted 183rd overall in the 9th round by hte Swift Current Broncos. Logan Schatz of Allan went 186th overall. He was also drafted in the 9th round. He was picked by the Kootenay Ice. Draude, Schatz, Rothenburger and Fiala were the top point-getters for the Vipers last season. Draude finished the season with 54 goals and 40 assists in

teams. “It’s good for the kids, and it’s good for the hockey program,” said Priel in an interview May 7. When you have a team that is able to compete at a high level and move as far in the playoffs we did, there’s a likelihood that you’re going to get more than one player selected in the bantam draft.” Priel said Evan Fiala was taken in the first round largely as a result of the strong finish the defenseman had at the end of the season. “Evan was able to take his game to a whole new level during the playoffs and at the year-end tournament in Kamloops,” said Priel. “He’s very deserving of being a first-round pick.”

While many expected Draude to also go in the first round, the team’s captain will be more motivated than ever now, commented Priel. “Terrell has been a leader throughout the year, and I think there was a certain element of disppointment on his part,” said Priel. “But for him, that’s going to be a motivator. He’s got a tremendous skill set, he’s got the size, and he’s got the motivation to do well.” Priel said Schatz and Rothenburger are also desrving of being drafted. “It doesn’t really matter what round you’re taken in,” he said. “It’s a feather in their cap to be chosen.” He said despite being of smaller stature, Schatz’s skills are matched only by his intense work ethic.

“He’s probably the hardest-working player on the team,” he said. Rothenburger was one of the biggest success stories for the Vipers this year, said Priel. “Ryan came out of the blue for us at the beginning of the year,” he said. “We didn’t know waht to expect, but were impressed with him at training camp. As the year progressed, he emerged as one of our most dependable goal-scorers. He finished the year as the second-leading scorer, and got some big goals in important games, lots of them in overtime.” The Vipers finished first overall in the north division of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, with a record of 16 wins, 4 losses and 4 ties. They were eliminated by the Northeast Wolfpack in the second round of playoffs. The draft took place on Thursday, May 3.

Limited. “We make a difference in the communities where our customers and employees live and work.

University of Saskatchewan residences welcome students to their new homes

New residences opened last fall on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon, and they are quickly making a difference for students from around the world. “In terms of developing social relationships, there’s nothing better than living in res,” said Renae Zook, third-year biochemistry student and resident advisor (RA) in Spruce Hall, one of the new student residences in College Quarter on the U of S campus. She has lived in residence since she originally moved to the U of S from Trochu, AB, about an hour and a half north east of Calgary, to take the classes she needs to apply to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. “When I rst moved here, I stayed in my room and only left to buy textbooks. After a day and a half, I was starving,” Zook laughed. “I went to Marquis Hall to eat and sat down with some people, and I’m still friends with some of the people that were at that table.” Over 1,700 students currently live in residence at the U of S, with about 660 additional beds slated to open by early 2013. The growing demand for student housing is fuelled in part by the support and services offered to residence students, which are especially helpful to students new to Saskatoon. “The ethos of residence is student support,” said Sylvia Cholodnuik, residence manager. “The student life staff, the residence staff, the custodial staff, we’re all here to create a positive student experience.” That staff includes RAs like Zook, who are upper-year students who are there for students to talk to and co-ordinate residence activities; advi-

Certication recognizes workers who meet National Occupational Standards in their eld. As with apprenticeships, the rst step toward certication is to be working in the occupation, then begin specialized training toward gaining recognition. Certication in some occupations is required when working toward journeyperson status. Each occupation is a little bit different, but beyond attaining the necessary industry hours, it can take as little as a month to get a professional certication, though most people complete the process around the six-month mark. “We like to see people nish within a year,” Acton says. “You get your experience, write the exam, do the evaluation if there is one (for Specialist certication), six months to a year period seems to be about right.

It depends on the industry, but we see a lot of that in tourism.” “It’s important to know the front line jobs, because if you’ve worked on the front line jobs you know exactly how customer satisfaction affects business retention and employee retention,” she adds. “It becomes clearer if you’ve experienced all the jobs on the path to a management position.”

University of Saskatchewan residences welcome students to their new homes New residences opened last fall on the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon, and they are quickly making a difference for students from around the world. “In terms of developing social relationships, there’s nothing better than living in res,” said Renae Zook, third-year biochemistry student and resident advisor (RA) in Spruce Hall, one of the new student residences in College Quarter on the U of S campus. She has lived in residence since she originally moved to the U of S from Trochu, AB, about an hour and a half north east of Calgary, to take the classes she needs to apply to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. “When I rst moved here, I stayed in my room and only left to buy textbooks. After a day and a half, I was starving,” Zook laughed. “I went to Marquis Hall to eat and sat down with some people, and I’m still friends with some of the people that were at that table.” Over 1,700 students currently live in residence at the U of S, with about 660 additional beds slated to open by early 2013. The growing demand for student housing is fuelled in part by the support and services offered to residence students, which are especially helpful to students new to Saskatoon. “The ethos of residence is student support,” said Sylvia Cholodnuik, residence manager. “The student life staff, the residence staff, the custodial staff, we’re all here to create a positive student experience.” That staff includes RAs like Zook, who are upper-year students who are there for students to talk to and co-ordinate residence activities; advi-

Langham production of Wizard of Oz gives local drama a boost in community Wizard of Oz plays May 11, 12 and 13 at Affinity Community Hall in Langham By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

taging a large-scale musical in her hometown is a “dream come true” for Langham Recreation Director Cori Waldner. Not only is it providing a boost for the drama program at WW Brown High School, it’s also helping get the entire community excited about home-grown theatre. “I grew up in Langham,” explained Waldner in an interview May 4. “I’ve lived here for over 30 years, and this is home to me. When I was hired as the Recreation Director last November, I figured we needed something that could showcase the young people in the community.” Staging an event that combined the high school drama program with volunteer efforts of the community seemed like a good idea, she noted. “When I was in elementary school I was in a production of the Wizard of Oz,” she explained. “I played a Munchkin, and ever since then I’ve been wanting to do the play.” Last winter, Waldner worked with community groups to organize a Christmas Carol Festival. “There were about 4 or 5 kids that had such beautiful voices, and they loved being on stage,” said Waldner. “So I asked them if they would like to be in a musical play. They jumped at the opportunity. I approached the drama teacher at WW Brown High School, and he agreed to direct the play. We’ve also gotten a lot of involvement from the students at the high school. They’re very enthusiastic.” She said auditions for the play were held in February,

and rehearsals have been going on since then. “It’s been a long haul, and quite a commitment on everyone’s part,” she said. “There is a pretty big cast. I think we have about 30 people, including about 15 kids as Munchkins.” Sela Balzer and the Langham Theatrical Company have also provided valuable assistance. “I’ve worked with Sela on a couple of productions,” said Waldner. “And she’s been very helpful, guiding me through all the things that need to get done.” While she’s acted in several plays, Waldner said being responsible for the entire production is a real eyeopener. “I didn’t realize it was so much work,” she said. Waldner said the Langham Town Council is supporting the production by providing the community hall as the venue. But she noted that she is volunteering her time when it comes to the play itself. “I went before council and explained that my efforts would be strictly volun-

teer,” she said. “I do my job during the day, and when 5 o’clock comes, I’m down at the hall working on the play. It’s actually a lot of fun.” She said she’s hoping the musical production can become an annual event, similar to the type of play staged by the Osler School. “That’s a real success story,” she said. “We’d like to generate that same kind of excitement here.” Waldner said the script for the play follows the Wizard of Oz movie version quite closely, even to the point where the opening scenes are portrayed in black and white. “The costumes are sepia-coloured, to capture the effect of the scenes set in Kansas in the movie,” she explained. “Then we switch to colourful costumes when Dorothy and Toto arrive in the land of Oz.” Tickets for the play are available at the Langham Town Office or by calling 283-4806. A limited number of tickets will also be available at the door.

Residents of Dalmeny braved chilly, damp conditions to clean up their community on Saturday, May 5. The town-wide event attrracted lots of volunteers, including (left to right) Cassia Honeker, Krista Tallmadge and Logan Tallmadge.

First weekend in June a popular date for celebrations By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ark your calendar for the first weekend of June. You’re guaranteed a good time, whether you’re in Dalmeny, Martensvile, Hepburn or Borden. All four communities are hosting their summer fairs the weekend of June 1-3.

DALMENY DAYS Dalmeny is planning a full weekend of events for the Dalmeny Days celebration. “The excitement is building, and we’re expecting to see a lot of people at the events,” said Christine Sperling of the Dalmeny Recreation Board. “This year one of the highlights will be a dance featuring Paradise Road. It’s going to be a great time.”

Paradise Road is a Saskatoon country-rock band that’s been playing gigs across the province since the spring of 2001. The fivepiece band includes Randy Hawryliw, Marilyn Boll, Laurence Deslauriers, Cam Zoller and Mike Mapes. Dalmeny Days kicks off Friday, June 1 with a slopitch tournament before the dance, which takes place at the JJ Loewen Centre starting at 9:00 p.m. The parade on Saturdayfeatures a bike-decorating contest for the youngsters. Sperling said the rec board is hoping for a lot of local organizations and businesses in the area to enter floats in the parade. “That is always one of the highlights of the weekend,” said Sperling. “The more floats we get in the pa-

rade, the better it is for everyone.” She said there are many children’s activities, including a bouncy castle, Beeper the Clown and children’s entertainment. There are fireworks planned for Friday night. The Dalmeny arena will be opened up for two hours in the afternoon for floor hockey on Saturday, June 2, and a family fun bingo will take place at the JJ Loewen Centre on Saturday, June 2 as well. Sunday, June 3 features a Family celebration in the park, children’s activities and live bands. All outdoor events take place at Centennial Park.

BUSTER DAYS Martensville’s Buster Days features a family-oriented dance with a Hawai-

ian theme at the curling rink on Friday, June 1. The Gold Dragon Wrestling show takes place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre. A spectacular fireworks display is also planned for Friday night. Saturday, June 2, will kick off with a pancake breakfast, followed by the start of the ball tournament and the parade. The afternoon features The Buster Day Boogie, Petting Zoo and pony rides, bouncy castles for the kids. There is also laser tag. Ball hockey is scheduled for the tennis courts. In the evening there will be an adults-only dance with music provided by the band, Correction Line. Sunday, June 3 starts out with a church service & picnic, mini-market and scavenger hunt, as well as hay rides

and a special show called “Martensville’s Got Talent.”

HEPBURN FAIR DAYS Hepburn Fair Days is also taking place that weekend. The community’s parade gets underway on Saturday, June 2 at 10:00 in the morning. The Hepburn Museum of Wheat is open all day (the Museum actually opens for the season on Saturday, May 12), and there are family-oriented events and children’s activities all day. DIEFENBAKER DAYS The Village of Borden is pulling out all the stops with its annual Diefenbaker Days celebaration, slated for the first weekend of June. The Borden Museum opens for the season on Saturday, June 2.

Cold water can kill Wearing a Lifejacket and Thermal Protection could save your life By SUZANNE SIMIC

Canadian Safe Boating Council

t’s finally Spring. The days are getting longer, the air carries a sweet fragrance and the ice has receded from the lakes. It’s a time when millions of Canadians finally get back their favourite pastime and head out on the water in their boats. Smartboater.ca was created by the Canadian Safe Boating Council in partnership with the National Search and Rescue Secretariat to remind Canadians during Safe Boating Awareness Week, which runs from May 19th – 25th, 2012, and throughout the entire boating season to take a few extra precautions to guard against the dangers of a fall into Cold Water. Many people think that a fall into the water is no big deal. They can climb back onto the dock or swim the short distance to shore, or they can right their overturned boat and get back in. If the boat can’t be righted, they can put on their lifejacket and hold onto the boat until help arrives. The reality is when dealing with cold water those goals often can’t be reached. It’s hard to imagine what happens should you unexpectedly find yourself in cold water. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Manitoba, has experienced first-hand the effects of cold water. He developed what he calls the 1-10-1 Principle to help you understand how your body will react. You will have One minute to get your breathing un-

der control, as there is an initial gasp response followed by extreme hyperventilation. Ten minutes of meaningful movement before the muscles in your extremities lose their effectiveness, and up to one hour before you lose consciousness due to hypothermia. If you’re not wearing a lifejacket and survive the initial shock and gasp, you have very little time before their arms and legs begin to stop functioning, preventing you from staying afloat. Studies have shown that our bodies lose heat approximately 25 times faster in water than in air of the same temperature. If you are wearing thermal protection such as a neoprene wetsuit, paddling dry suit or a floater coat/suit, it will help keep you warmer for a greater length of time. Should your boat capsize and you find yourself in the water, try to reduce the rate of heat loss by climbing onto the overturned hull or any other floating object such as a cooler. If none are immediately available, remain as motionless as possible to allow your skin to warm a thin layer of water around your body. Thrashing in the water not only disturbs this layer of warmer water but also accelerates heat loss. If you are alone, tuck your legs and fold your arms across your chest in the HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Position) to protect your vital organs. If you are with others, huddle together interlacing your arms and legs and pressing your torsos together to preserve body heat.

equipped unit designed as a mobile office. “That unit is now paid off,” said Elder. “We’re focusing now on adding things to make it more functional.” He said the Command Unit has only been used once in a real emergency in the last two years, but it has been used extensively during regular training exercises for firefighters and emergency responders in all the communities in North Corman Park. “When the Command Centre goes out on a call for real, then you know it’s a big one,” he explained. The Dalmeny Fire Department will be focusing more of its efforts on the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) aspect for the community, Elder said. “Joanne Elder is the EMO officer for Dalmeny, and there is a plan in place in case there is a major emergency, such as a tornado or hazardous waste spill along the railway, a long-term power outage or a major blizzard. The important thing is that the community should be able to fend for itself for up to 72 hours in that kind of emergency situation. So that means that everyone in the community needs to have made preparations for such an event. There needs to be plan in place for the whole community, but every family should also have their own plan so they know what to do. We have information on how people can take steps to prepare.”

Collisions, thefts, domestic disturbances all part of RCMP’s week Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

VEHICLE ROLLOVER On April 27 at 3:45 p.m., Warman RCMP responded to a call of a rollover motor vehicle collision on Highway 14, at the intersection with Range Road 3073, west of Saskatoon. Police located a red Plymouth Sundance upside down in the ditch. The two people in the vehicle had already gotten out and were uninjured. Investigation revealed that the vehicle was being driven westbound on the highway when the driver attempted to make a left turn on to the grid road at a high rate of speed. The driver lost control of the vehicle and it entered the ditch and ended up on its roof. The driver, a 19 year old male from Saskatoon, was issued a ticket for driving at a speed greater than was safe contrary to the Traffic Safety Act. LICENSE SUSPENDED On April 28, at 1:40 a.m. police observed a pick-up truck operating on 1st Street South near the intersection of 1st Avenue South in Martensville. Police observed the truck being operated at a speed of 22 km/h and in an erratic fashion. The vehicle was stopped by police a short distance away and the driver pulled over and brought his front tire to rest on the adjacent sidewalk. Police observed numerous indicators of alcohol consumption and arrested the male driver for impaired driving. The man was taken to the Martensville police detachment where he provided breath samples that were in excess of legal limit by more than double. A 24 year old Saskatoon man was released on charges of impaired driving and driving with more than the legal limit of blood alcohol. The man’s driver’s licence was also suspended for 90 days pursuant to the provisions of the Traffic Safety Act following an impaired driving charge. The matter is scheduled for Provincial Court in Saskatoon on June 5. SPEEDING CAUSES CRASH On May 1, at approximately midnight, a single vehicle collision was reported to the Warman RCMP. A female driver reported that while operating a 2007 Chev pick-up truck eastbound on the Power Line Road, near Dalmeny, she lost control of the vehicle when it fish-tailed. The truck entered the ditch and rolled over and back into an upright position. The 16 year old female from the Martensville area was issued a traffic ticket for driving at a rate of speed that was greater than was safe contrary to the Traffic Safety Act. The driver, who was the lone occupant, was not injured. DEER CAUSES COLLISION On May 3, at approximately 9:45 p.m., police responded to a collision where a black Kia Spectra had struck a deer on Highway 16 in the westbound lanes near Radisson. The vehicle pulled over and a short while later the Kia was struck from behind by a blue, 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. The collision forced the Kia into a nearby field. Only minor injuries were reported. The matter is still under investigation by police. HIGHWAY ASSAULT On April 28, shortly after 1:00 a.m., Warman RCMP responded to a call of an altercation on Highway 11, north of Osler. Police attended and found a male and female subject near a

vehicle on the side of the highway. The two had been involved in an altercation and a passing motorist had reported seeing the male dragging the female by the hair towards the ditch. Further investigation revealed that the incident was

a domestic dispute and the woman claimed to have been threatened with bodily harm as well as being assaulted. The man was arrested and lodged into police holding cells until the following morning, at which time he was re-

leased on charges of assault and uttering threats. The accused is a 37 year old man from Spruce Home, Saskatchewan. The matter was before the courts on May 1.

WARMAN DISTURBANCE On May 2, shortly after 1:00

a.m., police responded to a call of a domestic dispute on the 200 block of Rigmor Street in Warman. Investigation revealed that there had been an altercation between a couple at that address and that the female partner had been assault-

New home construction continues at a strong pace By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

New

home construction in Warman and Martensville continues to lead the way for the province and the country. Saskatchewan’s urban housing starts took a big jump in March 2012, rising 53.5 per cent over last March, and up 33.8 per cent for the first quarter of 2012 compared to a year earlier. According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) statistics, there are more multi-family units being built in Saskatchewan this year. MARTENSVILLE GROWING But in Warman and Martensville, the emphasis is still heavily weighted in favour of single-family dwellings. In Martensville, construction started on 48 new single family dwellings during the first four months of 2012, according to the municipality’s planning department. In addition, there were eight new multi-family units and three new commercial and industrial buildings intiated so far in 2012. That compares to 109 single-family, 24 multi-family, and 15 new commercial and industrial units built during 2011. Not only is the pace of construction at or above last year’s level, the value of the projects is higher. According to the planning department statistics, the total value of all construction projects in Martensville during the first four months of the year is $11,593,840. This includes the value of renovations and additions.

New homes are rapidly going up in Warman and Martensville (pictured). While the majority of the housing starts are single-family dwellings, both communities are on pace to exceed last year’s totals for new construction.

HOME CONSTRUCTION There were 48 residential permits for additions and renovations issued in Martensville so far in 2012. In 2011, the total value of all construction, including 162 renovations and additions, 109 single-family, 24 multi-family, and 15 commercial construction was $32,305,823. The pace of construction in 2011 was likely impacted negatively by persistent inclement weather. Heavy rainfall and wet conditions hampered construction across the region. Martensville had a better year in 2010, when the value of construction was $46,124,215. During that year, there were 173 single-family units built and 35 multi-family residences constructed. In addition, 15 commercial and industrial projects were begun, and there were 187 residential additions or renovations. Martensville’s best year for new home construction was 2007, when 241 new single-family units, 69 new multi-family homes, and 11 new commercial and industrial units were built. In that year, the total value of all construction projects was $58,322,477 - a record which still stands. WARMAN EXPANDING The Town of Warman is also experiencing strong growth. Buiding permits for residential and commercial units in the community are comparable to last year, according to statistics supplied by MuniCode. Between January 1 and April 30, 2012, there were 183 building permits issued in Warman, with a total value of $24,036,600. These permits include single family, multi-family, commercial and industrial buildings, as well as residential additions. The value of single-family starts in Warman so far this year amounts to $14,470,800. Multi-family starts so far in

WARMAN

Council adopts occupancy permit policy Any deficiencies in newly constructed homes will need to be corrected before move-in

The

Town of Warman is urging homeowners and developers to ensure all deficiencies are cleared up before any new homes are occupied. At a recent meeting, Warman Town Council adopted a policy for issuing Occupancy Permits, beginning July 1. According to the town planning department, Occupancy Permits will be required on new dwellings if the final inspection reveals there are deficiencies in the structure. A separate inspection will be needed once deficiencies have been resolved. The inspection must be booked through Municode Services, the Warman-based company that issues building permits and does building inspections under contract for the Town of Warman. Once all deficiences have been cleared an Occupancy Permit will be issued. All deficiencies must be cleared up before the town will turn on permanent water service to the building. The cost of an Occupancy Permit, if one is required, will be $50 if the inspection can be done within four days. If an inspection is needed within 24 hours, the cost of an Occupancy Permit will be $100. These payments are made directly to Municode Services. In those cases where work has commenced prior to the physical issuance of a Building Permit or Development Permit, the Town of Warman will charge the applicant or owner double the original permit fee. A copy of the policy is currently being issued to any homeowner or developer applying for a building permit in Warman. The policy becomes effective July 1.

The countdown is on as city employees currently based at the Martensville Civic Centre (below, right) and current City Hall (above) will move to a new facility planned for the southeast corner of Main Street and Centennial Drive

Development of new City Hall long overdue, says Mayor By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

atepayers in Martensville will no longer have to trek to three different buildings to talk to different city departments once a new City Hall becomes a reality. The new building, estimated to cost about $3 million, is intended to house all the civic departments under one roof. The project will be put out to tender this spring and construction could potentially start as early as this fall. “It’s a project that’s long overdue,” according to Mayor Gordon Rutten. “For a growing and dynamic city like Martensville it’s important to have a central facility that houses all the civic departments in one building.” City council endorsed a line item in the 2012 civic budget for a new city hall at its meeting last week. The new building should be seen as an investment in the future, said Rutten. “There is money that needs to be spent to get it built, that’s true,” he explained. “We’d like to have it built for free but that’s just not in the cards. We need to take care of financing of the project over a number of years so it’s not burdening taxpayers

in one particular year. We’ve spread out the financing over several years.” Rutten said the objective is to keep up with the growth of the city. “It’s been difficult over the years to function efficiently, given that the departments are scattered in different locations. Not only that, but the facilities we’ve been working in are clearly inadequate for the size of the municipality. It has hamstrung our ability to deliver services for our ratepayers.” City Manager Scott Blevins said ratepayers have expressed frustration over the current situation and are looking to find all the people they need to talk to in a central location. “When people are trying to get answers from different departments, – and sometimes their questions overlap different departments – they’ll be able to talk to all the people they need to without having to physically drive back and forth,” Blevins stated. “Right now the current city hall houses the administration and the economic development department, as well as the RCMP office. The Civic Centre houses the planning department and the recreation and community services department. Then there’s also the public works shop at a different building. It’s time to pull

it all together.” CITY-OWNED PROPERTY The new City Hall will be built on city-owned property immediately south of, and adjacent to, the existing Civic Centre building on the corner of Main Street and Centennial Drive. It’s an ideal location in the heart of the city, noted Blevins. “It’s a cen-

tral location at the main entrance to town. The city already owns the entire block so there is plenty of room for a new building and also any potential expansion in the future.” While the design for the new City Continued on Page 4 Please see CITY HALL DEVELOPMENT

Hall has not yet been finalized, Blevins said the building will be approximately 10,000 square feet in size. “It’s going to be able to accommodate our needs plus we’ll have some additional offices in there so we have room to grow. We’re also looking to have some flexibility to be able to expand in the future.” He said the goal is to get the design completed as soon as possible now that the expenditure has been approved in the budget. Once the design is finalized, tenders will be let and construction could start this fall or next spring. The existing Civic Centre building, which was originally a school, will remain. The new City Hall will be built to the south on land which is currently vacant. Blevins said as the new City Hall needs to expand, portions of the old Civic Centre building can be knocked down to make room. “That’s probably about 10 or 15 years into the future,” he said. “But realistically, the Civic Centre is an old building and it’s reaching the end of its useful life.” The existing City Hall building on Centennial Drive will remain a cityowned facility and will likely house an expanded RCMP detachment office. “We’re continually going to be adding more numbers to the RCMP detachment, even with our joint contract with Warman, so there will be a need to have more space for the RCMP,” he said.

bits in Martensville has at least one ratepayer upset. In a letter to Martensville City Council, Trudy Langenhoff suggests the long-eared animals are becoming a nuisance and demanded the municipality take action. “The rabbits in Martensville are eating lots, growing fast, and multiplying rapidly,” said Langhenoff in her letter. “They feed in front yards, backyards and gardens.”

She said there are sometimes literally dozens of rabbits eating the bark off young trees in her yard and destroying her lawn, adding that even with reinforced fencing the rabbits cannot be kept out. The letter was discussed by Martensville council at their May 1 meeting and while councilors acknowledged the rabbit population is a very visible problem, any solution short of the stew-pot is not on the horizon. City m0anager Scott Blevins said there have been several complaints about the rabbit population, but options for the municipality are limited.

Rabbits are so numerous in Martensville and Warman that some homeowners have expressed concerns about the damage caused to lawns, trees and gardens

“We’ve been asked a few times about exterminating rabbits,” said Blevins, “But it’s not practical.” Dave Bosch, recreation and community services director, told council that homeowners who are concerned about rabbits have several options that will discourage the animals from entering their property or eating their trees and gardens. “There is an electronic device that emits a high-frequency sound that repels rabbits and other nuisance animals,” he said. “There is also a product called Scoot that you can paint on your trees that has, apparently, quite a bitter taste that discourages rabbits and deer from eating the bark. There are products out there that the homeowner can use.” There are also humane traps that homeowners can borrow from the city if they want to catch the rabbits and remove them from their property without harming them, noted Bosch. “The traps are for cats, but they’ll work with rabbits too.” Councilor Terry Kostyna said when ratepayers forward complaints to city council, it would be helpful if the complainant also had some constructive suggestions on what actions the municipality could take. “It’s one thing to say, ‘do something.’ But it’s more constructive to say, ‘here’s what I believe needs to be done,” Kostyna said. “If it’s a reasonable suggestion then it helps us come up with a solution.” The rabbit population explosion is not limited to Martensville. Warman, Osler and other surrounding communities are also experiencing a similar phenomenon. And, while damage to gardens is a concern, the presence of rabbits may also attract coyotes into the urban areas which could result in a much more serious problem.

Businesses operated by women integral to province’s growth The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 7-13 to be Women Entrepreneurs Week, to celebrate the contribution of women to Saskatchewan’s vibrant economic growth. “Women entrepreneurs are found in every sector of our economy and they have been instrumental in our economic growth through the various businesses that they operate,” Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “This is a great time to be in business in Saskatchewan. We are committed to ensuring that women entrepreneurs continue to grow and expand their businesses, create jobs and take advantage of the business opportunities available in our province.” Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan will be holding several events during this week to highlight successful women in business and the resulting economic growth, along with the various support programs that are available to women entrepreneurs in the province. “Women entrepreneurs come from a multitude of business categories and are rich and diverse ‘role models’ for all cultures and genders,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude said. “Women make up over half of the population and it is vital for the Saskatchewan economy to have women starting, growing and leading businesses. Women Entrepreneurs Week is an opportunity to celebrate the successes and to encourage more women to be passionate about making Saskatchewan the best place to live, start a business, work and build a life.” “Saskatchewan continues to make significant strides in fostering an environment that facilitates the success of female entrepreneurs right here at home,” Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris said. “Importantly, we see female enrolment at our universities rising, including at their schools of business, ensuring economic strength as our province continues to move forward.” In 2011, there were 31,700 self-employed women in Saskatchewan, and 8,000 of these businesses employed at least one person. Of the 3,700 selfemployed people registered in the last five years, 2,100 of them were women. Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan is a business service organization that provides women with loans, business assistance, path-finding services, business training and business advisory services among other programs.
