Three injured in 2-vehicle crash on Highway 11 Dalmeny police charge man with break & enter Three people were injured following a two-vehicle crash on Highway 11 at Baker Road south of Saskatoon last Wednesday, May 30.

Members from the Saskatoon RCMP detachment and MD Ambulance responded to the collision, which occurred shortly before 10:00 a.m.

Dundurn Try-All-Athon June 15 The Dundurn Diggers TryAll-AThon – which will be held Friday, June 15 – is designed to allow elementary students to participate in a triathlon experience (swimming, biking, running). This will be the fourth annual Try-All-Athon, which is the largest youth triathlon held in Saskatchewan. The event starts at the Blackstrap Provincial Park main beach at 9:30 and will conclude by noon, with other activities to follow until 2 p.m. The purpose of this event is to promote child and family health while exposing youth to a lifelong sport. In 2008 Dundurn Elementary School had its first Try-All-Athon, 136 students participated, exposing them to a new experience and challenging all to do their per-

sonal best. In 2009, Hanley Elementary School registered in the 2nd Try-All-Athon, bringing our numbers to 224, the largest youth triathlon held in Saskatchewan. Each year the event welcomes schools from across the province.

The collision involved a east bound car that was attempting to cross Highway 11 when it collided with a northbound SUV. The three occupants of the SUV, a female driver and two children (male and female) have been taken to hospital. An RCMP Collision reconstructionist assisted the RCMP detachment members with the investigation. Traffic on Highway 11 was restricted to a single lane northbound for several hours at the scene of the crash.

GOING OVERBOARD

Chad Besplug of Claresholm, Alberta did his best to make the buzzer but came up a little short aboard Wranglers Rock of Ages at the Aaron Roy Invitational in Asquith on Thursday night, May 31. The PBR Touring Pro event saw 30 of the best bull riders from Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia vying for their share of approxi-

mately $12,000 in prize money and points for the season series. Less than a week after picking up second place money at the PBR Touring Pro stop in Swift Current, Stetson Lawrence of Williston, North Dakota turned in a gutsy 91-point ride on Bucking Fantastic for the win and a payday of $3,094. The PBR returns to the area later this summer for an event in Langham on August 16.

Construction set to start on Dalmeny access road Construction on the new and improved Dalmeny Access road is scheduled to begin this week after the tender was recently awarded. “Dalmeny is one of Saskatchewan’s many growing communities and the existing access road no longer adequately serves the needs of the community,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. The contract has been awarded to Kelly Panteluk Construction Ltd. with Genivar acting as construction manager. Work will begin, with the stripping of topsoil, in the area of the new locations of the access road the week of June 4. Contractors plan to start crushing the gravel and stone for the surfacing portion the following week. “We feel Dalmeny is a hid-

den gem,” Dalmeny Mayor Allan Earle said. “With a new and improved highway, we expect our community will grow commercially and residentially. Our residents and the people of this region look forward to the completion of this road.”

The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is investing $20.3 million to upgrade the existing thin membrane surface (TMS) access road to a structural pavement. A number of safety improvements will also be made including

widening the road and adding improved intersections. The first layer of pavement is scheduled to be finished this fall with the entire project completed in the Summer of 2013, subject to weather delays and contractor progress.

Police seek driver in Martensville hit and run The Warman RCMP detachment is asking the public for assistance in identifying the driver of a hit and run incident in Martensville. On Monday, June 4, at approximately 6:00 p.m. a 15 year old male was riding his bicycle at the intersection of 6th Street North and Baycroft Drive in the City of Martensville. The intersection is a 4 way stop. As the cyclist went

through the intersection a black half-ton pick-up truck went through the intersection northbound and struck the bicycle. The youth was knocked off of the bicycle and suffered cuts and bruises as a result. The youth did not require hospitalization. The vehicle stopped briefly after the collision and then left the scene. The vehicle is described as

Mayors call on Ottawa to step up to the plate By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

aced with the prospect of having to pay for billions of dollars worth of repairs and upgrades to infrastructure like roads and water lines, municipal leaders are calling on the federal government to help pick up the tab. At the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) 75th annual conference in Saskatoon last week, mayors and councilors from across the country agreed that crumbling municipal infrastructure is a serious concern. And while the federal Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, Denis Lebel, promised funding will continue under a new longterm program once the Building Canada Fund expires in 2014, he stopped short of saying how much money would be forthcoming. In a speech to FCM delegates on Friday, June 1, Lebel said the details of the program will be worked out after a series of meetings in the coming months. “Our government will continue to invest in public infrastructure to support a competitive economy, build liveable communities and improve the quality of life for Canadians,” said Lebel. “Our new longterm infrastructure plan will promote job creation, economic prosperity and sustainable growth in communities from coast to coast. I look forward to productive discussions over the summer.” Lynn Yelich, MP for Blackstrap and Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, told FCM delegates the federal government is committing $150 million over two years for the new Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF), which was announced in the recent federal budget. The CIIF funds will support repairs and improvements to existing community facilities, said Yelich. But the CIIF funding is far less than what many FCM delegates say is needed, and the organization is calling on the federal government to renew

The Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators presented awards for long-serving Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs) of cities, towns, villages and counties during the organization’s annual national conference in Saskatoon last week. (Top photo) Osler CAO Sandra MacArthur and Warman CAO Ivan Gabrysh (middle row, fourth and fifth from left) were both presented with awards for 20 years of service.

(Gazette photos by Terry Pugh) $1.9 billion in funding to the Canada Buiding Fund. They are also urging the federal government to earmark a larger portion of the federal gas tax to municipalities. During a press conference at the FCM meeting, 11 of Canada’s 22 big-city mayors called for changes to the gas tax formula. “Right now, we’re receiving 8 cents on the tax dollar paid by Canadians and 8 cents simply is not enough, said Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson. “These concerns have been raised repeatedly and we’re now at a key juncture where we have to have longterm secure funding or we really face rolling off a cliff

and dealing with mounting problems in our cities as they grow.” Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi estimates his city faces a $7 to $8 billion deficit on transit infrastructure alone. The FCM delegates agree municipal property taxes will not be able to cover the cost of infrastructure repairs. Federal Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae told delegates that the federal government is downloading costs onto provinces and municipalities. “Jurisdictional issues between levels of government shouldn’t be used as an excuse,” he said. “The begging bowl shouldn’t be the biggest piece of furniture in the mayor’s office.”

Housing Corporation’s Municipal Infrastructure Lending Program (MILP). The Mayor of Hepburn read a prepared statement from Hon. Lynn Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. “I am pleased that our Government has delivered on this commitment for Hepburn and area residents, which has

not only created jobs and stimulated the local economy, but also has helped meet a very specific need for the community,” said Yelich in her statement. A grant for the first five years of interest was obtained through the Saskatchewan Infrastructure Growth Initiative (SIGI) under the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

Adams Eichendorf said the people of Hepburn and the elected councilors deserve a lot of credit for making the project a reality. She also extended thanks to federal MP Maurice Vellacott for his assistance at the federal level; and Doug Thompson of Associated Engineering, the contractors who designed and built the water treatment plant.

It was an honour to have the Premier ask me to once again serve in Cabinet. Last Friday, I was sworn in as Minister of Central Services. This is a new agency that oversees the operations of government; it includes the Public Service Commission, assets of government, and Information Technology Office. I am also responsible for Lean Initiatives. Lean is a approach our government has adopted that looks at better ways of doing things, finding savings and efficiencies while ensuring that Saskatchewan residents are well served by government ministries and agencies. I will also continue to serve as a Treasury Board member as vice-chair. I am looking forward to my new roles. Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada to introduce a balanced budget this year. It is important to do this while continuing to ensure that we are ready for the growth that our province is experiencing. Taxpayers expect and deserve their government to spend their tax dollars wisely and I look forward to working with my colleagues on initiatives that will do that. I would like to give a well-deserved shout out to Nick and Lisa Prebushewski. This past weekend they hosted a fundraiser BBQ for STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society). The Government of Saskatchewan has partnered with STARS to bring this air ambulance service to our province. We continue to see increases in population and increased investment and expansion of our natural resource sectors. STARS will ensure timely emergency medical service to rural and remote areas as well as job sites. Lisa has an amazing story to tell about her experience with STARS – the service saved her life. I want to thank STARS for their commitment to our province and a very big thank you to Lisa and Nick for their support of this vital service. For more information about STARS, you can check out their website at: www.stars.ca or the Ministry of Health site at: www.health.gov. sk.ca/stars .

Rural Saskatchewan seems to have survived shuffle

Alcohol and Boating Can Be Deadly

At first glance, rural Saskatchewan, the smaller cities and the north might appear to be the big loser in Premier Brad Wall’s recent cabinet shuffle. Consider the evidence: There are three new (or returning) rural MLAs entering cabinet in new Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart (Thunder Creek), Central Services Minister Nancy Heppner (Rosthern) and Rural and Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes (Biggar). But except for Stewart in agriculture (and one fully expects the minister of agriculture in Saskatchewan to be from the country) these new rural ministers aren’t taking on the larger portfolios. Conversely, new urban cabinet ministers – including Regina Douglas Park’s Russ Marchuk in education and Saskatoon Northwest’s Gord Wyant in Justice whose portfolio is classified as one of the three super ministries – are immediately taking on bigger roles. One might even suggest the newer rural cabinet ministers have less responsibility than out-going rural ministers Bob Bjornerud (agriculture), Jeremy Harrison (enterprise) and Yogi Huyghebaert (corrections and public safety). After all, Weekes’s new job would seem to be one without much spending authority and Heppner’s new portfolio does seem to be little more than a glorified version of the old Government Services office. Speaking of Heppner, she is now arguably the most northern minister in the province with the demotion of Meadow Lake’s Harrison out of the cabinet room.

Canadian Safe Boating Council

hh, boating ! Skimming over the water with the wind in your hair. What a great way to spend a summer afternoon, especially with family and friends. A carefree atmosphere like this is just made to have fun and party. However, this partying should never include drinking alcohol. Mixing alcohol and boating can have tragic consequences. When the Canadian Safe Boating Council and SmartBoater.ca speak to Canadian boaters each year during Safe Boating Awareness Week, and throughout the entire boating season about the dangers of alcohol and boating, there is no gentle way to say it. Being impaired while operating a boat can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse, turn a fun day into a deadly outing ! ((OR A ONE WAY TRIP)) Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. That means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge can, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges, but it can get worse. Many provinces have enacted additional legislation to curb the practice of drinking and boating. In Ontario for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel”. As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, face an on-the-spot drivers’ license suspension. That’s right! You can lose your automobile driver’s licence and should your blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. If that’s not a sufficient deterrent, add the financial impact of court and legal fees, alternative transportation for the year (i.e. taxi, bus, train, etc.) and potential loss of employment if driving is an essential component of your job. The costs keep mounting even after the reinstatement of your license. You’ll face drastically increased insurance premiums for up to 6 years and the inconvenience and embarrassment related to the installation and use of an ignition interlock system. These costs can easily amount to many thousands of dollars! The decision to drink and boat seems pretty stupid when stacked up against these penalties! But many impaired boaters are not stopped before something even worse happens. The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that identified in nearly 40% of boating related deaths alcohol was a factor and 23% of the cases involved alcohol above the legal limit. What increased the effects of alcohol in a boat are sunshine and a boat’s natural rocking motion that can turn a simple ride can turn into a dangerous dunking. It only takes a large wake or wave, a quick change in the boat’s direction, or a ‘tippy canoe’ to result in someone falling overboard with tragic consequences. Navigating a boat takes coordination and your full concentration. Your decision making skills and ability to react suddenly to changes in condition and surroundings is compromised by alcohol. Your reaction time slows, your vision and judgement are affected and you are more willing to be reckless and take risks. All of this can result in a preventable accident in which you or someone you care for ends up in hospital or worse. Psychologists know that human nature has a way of rationalizing. “It can’t possibly happen to me” is often the thought. Whether that means “I’ll never be caught” or “I’ll never be killed” doesn’t matter. Neither of those things will happen if boaters stick to just boating on the water. Afterward, you can have a few drinks on shore and then stay put. It’s that simple - If you drink, don’t drive your boat. For more information on safe and responsible boating practices visit Canada’s educational boating website www. smartboater.ca

Provincial Politics

And if rural Saskatchewan or the north didn’t seem to fare particularly well in this shuffle, smaller cities arguably fared worse with Meadow Lake (Harrison) and Prince Albert (Darryl Hickie) losing their cabinet table representations. Strangely, most of Saskatchewan’s smaller cities Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, North Battleford, Meadow Lake, Estevan and Yorkton will all be without cabinet representation now – this despite the fact that the Saskatchewan Party controls the majority of seats in every area in the province including all 29 rural Saskatchewan seats. But the thing about cabinet shuffles is that they are complex beasts and often require more than a single glance to full appreciate their scope. And when you do step back and look at the bigger picture, rural Saskatchewan actually came out okay. For starters, 11 of the 18 cabinet ministers (including Swift Current’s Brad Wall) are from what are traditionally described as rural seats. Any time you have a comfortable majority in cabinet, your issues will be heard at the cabinet table. Notwithstanding the fact that some rural ministers lost some hefty portfolios (Don McMorris in health and Donna Harpauer in education), rural members are entrenched in nearly all the key cabinet seats.

can as health minister will have under him Weekes who will serve in the intriguing new rural and remote health issues portfolio. And it’s quite possible that Weekes’s portfolio represents the biggest win for rural Saskatchewan – depending on what he is able to accomplish. Not since the NDP days of rural development ministers (who usually weren’t exactly cabinet heavyweights, anyway) have we seen a Premier assign a minister to deal with what strictly amounts to rural-specific issues. Perhaps this new posting won’t be much of anything, but the potential is certainly there. So, all in all, it might have been a far better cabinet shuffle for rural Saskatchewan than it first seemed.

Reader Opinions

Vellacott attacking our charities The Conservative Government’s continued attack on Canadian charities is premeditated and chilling. Over the past two years they have cut funding, publicly slandered or intimidated those in civil society who have dared to speak out against them. It started with the government quietly cutting funding to vocal organizations like KAIROS, Development and Peace, the Mennonite Central Committee, the Canadian Center for International Cooperation, Rights and Democracy and the Canadian Council on Social Development and others. Now the attack is more overt with Conservative Ministers and Senators publicly slandering those who disagree with them, accusing respected charities of “influence peddling” and “money laundering,” and label-

Besides Wall, Ken Krawetz in finance, and June Draude in social services, rural MLAs take on hefty responsibilities like Weyburn-Big Muddy’s Dustin Duncan in health (at the unheard of age of 32 years) Harpauer as Crown Investment Corp. Minister, Jim Reiter as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Tim McMillan as Energy Minister. One could certainly add to the list of cabinet heavyweights Stewart in agriculture and perhaps even McMorris in highways, given his additional individual Crown corporation responsibilities. But the minister that surely can’t be overlooked is Kindersley’s Bill Boyd who, as the new super minister of the economy with McMillan working under him. Similarly, Dun-

ling them as “foreign radicals.” It is all part of a disturbing larger agenda to silence dissent, and delegitimize anyone who has opinions contrary to Conservative ideology. Those that are specifically attacked by the Conservative government are either shut down or marginalized. Those that aren’t attacked directly learn very quickly that silence is golden. It is causing a chill in Canadian civil society. Buried in the Conservatives’ omnibus budget bill are changes to the Income Tax Act, amending the rules on how charities can engage in public policy advocacy and when their charitable status can be reviewed. Ordinarily an amendment which provides “guidance” would be a welcome clarification of the law. However, now everyone

is wondering what kind of impact this may have: if they speak out against Conservative ideas, will they catch the unwelcome attention of government auditors? The consequences of this chill are enormous. Civil society is not only about dissenting views, but also about alternative points of view – which are the real life blood of a democracy. Alternative voices make the powerful question themselves, but when the powerful controls the executive branch and the legislative branch of the government as they do in Canada, the only voices left to ask these questions are in civil society. On June 4, the Liberal Party will darken our website in support of the Speak Out/Black Out Campaign opposing these changes. Conservatives like

MP Maurice Vellacott need to know it is highly inappropriate for the government to muzzle charities and civil society. The organizations that are being silenced are ones that millions of Canadians have supported for years, and up until now organizations that Canadian governments of all political stripes have worked with to better the lives of those in our communities and abroad Development of effective public policy is difficult at the best of times, but when a government intentionally demonizes those who try to speak for the poor and disadvantaged both at home and abroad, we are all impoverished. Yours sincerely, John McKay, MP Robert Peterson, Senator Liberal Party of Canada

Seeding day lays the groundwork for Harvest for Kids By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he seeds are in the ground, and if all goes well, about 300 acres of oats will be ready to harvest in about 4 months time. It only took 4 outfits to plant the seed in a few hours on Monday, June 7. But the real test comes when the crop is ready to come off. That’s when 200 combines are expected to converge on the field, adjacent to Highway 12 north of Martensville across from the Barn Playhouse. On Saturday, October 6, a world record attempt to have the most combines working together to harvest a single crop in a single field will be made. The event is aimed at raising money for Children’s Camp International, a charity organi-

zation that assists disadvantaged children in five different developing countries around the world. According to Wendell Andres of Dalmeny, Executive Director of Children’s Camps International, the proceeds from the crop will send about 50,000 kids to camp. “It costs about $5 to send a kid to camp in a developing country,” said Andres. “We’re hoping to make this a very successful fundraiser.” The morning of the seeding operation on June 7 saw about 30 farmers and supporters gathered on the field for a prayer service. “It’s an exciting day,” said Andres. “We’re waiting to see what God is going to do with the seed we put in the ground. On October 6, we expect to see probably 20,000 people at this spot. So this is going to be just

a tremendous harvest celebration.” The event has been in the works for many months, but getting the seed in the ground makes it all seem a lot more real, said Andres. “We have a lot of local farmers and sponsors that are donating a lot of time, energy, and resources into this event, and it’s all for a good cause,” he said. “It’s not just about setting a new world record, although that’s certainly going to be a big draw. It’s about helping make children’s lives better, and opening up new opportunities for them.” The land where the world record attempt is being made is owned by Chad Doerksen of Dalmeny. The seed, the fertilizer, the fuel and the equipment is all donated. The current world record of 175 combines working si-

elcome to Mother Nature’s less-than-sunny side. After two solid days of rain, the road to the Shekinah Retreat Centre on the North Saskatchewan River north of Hepburn was challenging enough. But the soggy surroundings didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of about 60 high school students from across Saskatchewan as they prepared to set out on the trail that runs along the scenic riverbank. Armed with rain-gear, hats, sweaters, clipboards, and plenty of energy, they set off through the wet bush on their way to their first trail-testing station. They had been gearing up for this event all year long, and a little mud and rain wasn’t going to slow them down. Not when they stood a chance to win the Saskatchewan Envirothon competition, and earn a berth at the North American “environmental olympics” this summer in Pennsylvania. The sixth annual provincial competition last week saw teams of students from 9 high schools, drawing from communities both large and small. The group was housed and fed at Bethany College in Hepburn, while the outdoor competition took place at Shekinah, a church-operated retreat centre a few kilometers north. A number of local volunteers, including Hepburn Fire Chief Gord Jackson, were on hand to help event organizers and teachers keep things running smoothly. “The Envirothon is an exciting outdoor competition in which teams of high school students compete using their environmental train-

ing and problem solving skills. Teams become engaged with the world in which we live through teamwork, environmental education, and handson activities,” said Lis Mack, Manager of the Partners FOR the Saskatchewan River Basin and chair of the Saskatchewan Envirothon Organizing Committee. “The competition presents current and relevant environmental challenges which encourage youth to become passionate about the environment.” Mack said while the Envirothon has been going on for 25 years across North America, Saskatchewan has only entered teams within the last decade. Canadian teams generally do well in the competition, she noted, adding that a team from Manitoba came out on top of last year’s North American competition. “Three of the top five teams last year were Canadian,” she noted. “Unfortunately, Saskatchewan didn’t hold a competition last year because of the contract dispute between the provincial government and teachers. It was pretty disappointing for the kids. But we’re back this year, and the students are eager to take on the challenge.” Envirothon is an exciting Olympic style event in which teams of five high school students (grades 9 through 12) compete using their environmental training and problemsolving skills. The competition centers on four universal testing categories (soils/land use, aquatic ecology, forestry, and wildlife) and a current environmental issue. This year, Saskatchewan’s theme was Non-point source pollution and storm water retention. Mack said the environmental challenge offers the right combination of environ-

ment, knowledge and fun. During the Trail Test, students were challenged to apply what they have studied to various problems such as identifying the Usual Suspects at a “CSI station,” determining the volume of wood in a tree, and identifying various animals and plants. During the oral presentation component, students were asked to prepare a ten minute presentation— taking on the role of a contracting firm tasked with providing the initial landscaping work for a new subdivision, requiring low impact development and storm water control. The results were phenomenal; the students demonstrated a true passion while providing interesting and innovative solutions. Envirothon competitions are taking place in 9 Canadian and more than 50 American locations. This year’s winning team was from Luther College High School in Regina and will go on to represent Saskatchewan at the 2012 Canon Envirothon in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, from July 22-27, 2012. Participating teams: Evan Hardy Collegiate (Saskatoon), LeRoy School, Lumsden High School, Luther College High School (Regina), Macklin School, Norquay School, Walter Murray Collegiate A (Saskatoon), Walter Murray Collegiate B (Saskatoon), Yellow Grass School The Saskatchewan Envirothon was made possible with support from organizations such as Prince Albert Model Forest, Ministry of the Environment, SaskPower, SaskEnergy, and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

Delisle Diamond Dogs down Hanley in league fastball action Delisle 7 - Hanley 2 By PAT PECKOVER

peckpatr@uregina.ca

t was only their third game of the season, but the Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs used the opportunity to stretch their arms and their bats. Delisle faced off against the Hanley Merchants in an inter-division game at Gordie Howe Park on May 30. The Dogs play in the Keith McLean Division of the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA), while the Merchants are in the Ken Gunn Division. Delisle got off to a quick start in the first inning, shutting down the Merchants’ batters thanks to some strong pitching by starter Ryan Baptiste and some good work in the field. The Dogs scored one run in the bottom half of the inning, with a triple by Pat MacKintosh driving in Jason Hitchings, who hit a single to centre to get on base. Hanley came out strong in the second inning, racking up four hits to make it a 2-1 ball game. Baptiste appeared to struggle in the in-

ning, throwing quite a few balls during the first half. Delisle didn’t score any runs in their half of the second, leaving it a 2-1 game. They did tie it up in the third, thanks to a home run to centre field by MacKintosh. The Dogs’ bats came alive in the fourth inning, scoring four runs on four hits and one Hanley error. Jason Hitchings hit a home run to drive in three runs and make it a 6-2 game. Delisle got one more run in the sixth to make it 7-2, but that would be it for scoring in the game. Bryan Newton came in to pitch in the sixth inning and managed three strike outs in the last two innings to help Delisle to a 7-2 victory over the Merchants. Delisle had 12 hits in the game while Hanley had seven. Delisle coach Shawn Colborn was happy with the win as it was only the team’s third game of the season. “It was good to get a full game in as we haven’t played much ball yet,” he said. The team has had three games cancelled already this season because of wet weather, he added.

“Ryan (Baptiste) battled hard tonight and then Bryan (Newton) came in and closed it down,” Colborn said. “And our bats got warm.” The team, which is pretty much a local team with players from the Delisle and Saskatoon areas, is very similar to last year’s, which lost to eventual provincial champions Bruno Merchants in the 2011 provincial semi-final. “We’ve added Bryan Newton, he’s key,” Colborn said. “He’s one of the top three or four pitchers in the province.” Delisle has also added Pat MacKintosh to their line up. Both players have been on Team Canada’s 40-man roster in past years, Colborn noted. The Diamond Dogs are playing in a couple of tournaments this year, winning a semi-final game in Regina before the rest of the tournament was rained out. The team is planning on competing in the 2012 Senior B Men’s Provincial championship set for July 20-22 in Saskatoon. The teams to beat there will be Bulyea and Bruno, although any of the teams that make it to Provincials can beat any of the oth-

They blew up the team and didn’t even tell us

he fact dawned on me early last week while hosting my radio show and chatting with Leader Post football writer Ian Hamilton. After gutting nearly every position on the field and replacing more than half of the coaching staff, the Saskatchewan Roughriders blew up their franchise from last year without notifying us of their intentions. After a 5-13 season in 2011, who could blame them? No kids, these aren’t your Mom and Dad’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. With training camp beginning this week at the University of Regina, let’s recap a busy off-season: • All back-up quarterbacks behind Darian Durant were set free leaving four QBs with no CFL experience to battle it out in training camp for two spots. • Three starters on the offensive line (LT Alex Gauthier, LG Gene Makowsky and C

Marc Parenteau) all left for various reasons and were replaced by LG Brendon Labatte and C Dominic Picard in free agency. The Left Tackle spot, the “blindside”, will be fought for in camp. • The franchise’s second alltime leading rusher, Wes Cates, was released in the off-season leaving former NFLers Kory Sheets and Louis Rankin along with incumbent Brandon West to fight for the starting job. • Popular slotback Andy Fantuz was allowed to walk in free agency and no one seemed to care.

• Three-quarters of the defensive line will be new. Only DT Keith Shologan remains but you may have heard of Odell Willis, the controversial rush end who came over in a trade with Winnipeg this winter. • ALL three linebacker spots are open with the departures of Jerrell Freeman, Barrin Simpson and Sean Lucas in the off-season. • The defensive secondary is the only spot which could be unchanged with all five starters from last year’s final game back for another year. • And who could forget about

the coaching staff? Greg Marshall and Ken Miller split the role of head coach last year but both are out of the game this season. Rookie head coach Corey Chamblin, who turned 35 last week, has assembled an all-star cast on his staff. TSN’s Matt Dunigan said it reads like a “Who’s Who” of the CFL including Khari Jones, Jason Tucker and Barron Miles. But don’t be fooled; the coordinators (Bob Dyce on offense and Richie Hall on defense) are holdovers from last year providing continuity and stability. So there you go. They thought they could sneak it by us but we’re too wise! For whatever reason teams in all sports at all levels are deathly afraid of the term “rebuild” and perhaps that’s why you’ve never heard that term used by GM Brendan Taman over the past six months. But what would YOU call it?

Horoscopes CAPRICORN Dare to be different, Capricorn, even in the face of adversity. People know you march to the beat of your own drummer and will respect you for it. AQUARIUS Bar none, you’re the best person for the job, Aquarius. However, someone else wants a try, so give them the reins. Bigger challenges are headed your way. PISCES Relax, Pisces. The painstaking part is over. It will be easy sailing from here on out. A financial debt is repaid in time for you to make a big purchase. ARIES How bad do you want it, Aries? Bad enough to work hard for it? Because that is what it is going to take. Don’t commit to that which you don’t really want. TAURUS Patience grows thin at the office. Throw a little get-together to get everyone back on the same page. Don’t mistake a fiend’s icy embrace for anger. There is far more involved, Taurus. GEMINI Talk it up, Gemini. The more you say, the more support you’re likely to gather. A family member changes their tune rather drastically. Find out what’s up. CANCER Get with the program, Cancer. Folks are counting on you to do your part. A mix-up in communication turns out to be a blessing in disguise. LEO Use it or lose it, Leo. Admit you have talent and let it shine for others. Much prosperity will come of it. A phone call bears good news. Celebrate! VIRGO Stop beating around the bush, Virgo, and give it to them straight. Your friend deserves the truth, no matter how brutal. A workspace could use a facelift. LIBRA Your motto this week is the three R’s—reduce, reuse and recycle. Look for ways to be more environmentally friendly and it will ease some of those budgetary constraints, Libra. SCORPIO Dinner out with friends uncovers a real need. Do what you can to fulfill it, Scorpio. You’ll have the resources and the time when you need them. SAGITTARIUS Private matters turn public with a breach of confidence. Invest not in uncovering who did it but in how you can make it better, Sagittarius.

Province moving ahead with child welfare reforms The Ministry of Social Services will continue to partner with communitybased organizations to support children and youth in care and will no longer directly operate child welfare residential spaces. This direction is consistent with the province’s child welfare transformation strategy, based on the independent Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review Panel’s 2010 recommendations. The report urged government to work differently and to emphasize collaborative approaches to child welfare with First Nation, Métis and community partners. “We want children and youth to live successfully at home and in their communities,” Social Services Minister June Draude said. “That’s why our government has invested in family and community-based care and placed greater emphasis on prevention and family supports. “We have been working with community-based

organizations and our First Nation and Métis partners to develop the supports that children and youth need. Since 2007, we have nearly doubled the number of community-run child welfare spaces. Today’s announcement is another step in our continued transformation of the child welfare system.” Currently, communitybased organizations (CBOs) and agencies deliver 95 per cent of the child welfare residential spaces in the province. Social Services operates five per cent. No new government-operated residential spaces for children have been developed since 1999. “CBOs, with their local boards and tremendous volunteer base, know the clients who live in their communities, can quickly mobilize supports for clients with other local agencies and respond to the needs of the people they serve with flexible and creative solutions,” Draude said. A total of 12 children and

youth currently reside at the Saskatoon Treatment Group Home, Prince Albert Adolescent Group Home and Eden House in Regina. Ministry staff will work with these youth and their families to determine appropriate community placements. These

Construction on our new kitchen began on May 1, 2012. The kitchen renovation project costs about $365,000; new kitchen equipment costs are $105,000, with construction and upgrades to the infrastructure being $260,000. The cost for the dining hall phase will be another $125,000 above that of the kitchen. As things stand, we will address the dining hall phase in the near future, as funding permits. Students, kitchen staff, and all of us connected with Bethany look forward to the completion of the kitchen portion of the project. We have had nearly 200 individual donors give towards this project. Alumni and friends understand how this integral part of our college influences community building! “Our community spends significant time in this space for meals, studies, mentoring, and hanging out. We value time together and the interaction that happens here. The community gathers around tables in family style, and prays before beginning the meal,” says Lisa Braun, Dean of Student Development. Thank you for giving to this project. Visit www.bethany.sk.ca for updates on our kitchen renovation project.

What is multiple myeloma?

ultiple myeloma is a cancer that starts in plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft, spongy material that fills the centre of most bones (those where blood cells are made). Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell. Their job is to make antibodies that help fight infections. Myeloma begins when a plasma cell becomes abnormal and begins to divide uncontrollably, making more and more abnormal plasma cells. Abnormal plasma cells are called myeloma cells.

Eventually, the growing number of myeloma cells: crowd out the normal blood cells in the bone marrow and prevent them from working properly; can spread to the solid part of the bone and cause pain or fractures; upset the balance of certain body minerals, such as calcium, and prevent other organs, such as the kidneys and nerves, from working properly. The disease is called multiple myeloma because it affects many bones. If myeloma cells form a tumour in only one bone, it’s called a plasmacytoma. -Canadian Cancer Society - www.cancer.ca

Workshop aims to bridge generational gap

DOG GONE GREAT PARADE

Community hopes to harness youthful energy and build positive change By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

askatchewan’s population is among the youngest in the country, so it’s no surprise that the fastest-growing city in the province has an overwhelming percentage of young people. But that growth also carries challenges. If teens are bored and alienated, they may seek excitement through some kind of destructive behaviour In a proactive effort to involve more young people in their community, a volunteerbased group has been tapping into all that youthful energy for the past year. The groundwork for a vibrant new partnership is now firmly established. The Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) Youth Project held an “Adult Ally” training workshop on Tuesday, May 29. Designed to bridge the generation gap by encouraging communication and understanding, the event attracted about 15 adults and teenagers. “This is all about trying to create positive change in the community,” explained Bonnie Heilman, a facilitator from “Youth Launch” - a youth facilitation leadership program based in Saskatoon. “There are a lot of stereotypes out there about young people,” she explained. “People think youth are apathetic, but our experience in the work we do is that young people care very deeply about their community. They just need to be given the opportunity to become involved in a meaningful way.” Jessica Fisher, coordinator of the Martensville Youth Project, explained that “Adult Allies” are an essential part of the partnership.

The Martensville Mad Dogs unveiled their new mascot during the Buster Days parade on Saturday. See page 7 for more photos of the weekend’s activities.

GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY PUGH

Participants in the Adult Ally training workshop in Martensville last week explored ways of encouraging youth to become involved in their community “Adult Allies encourage our young people to positively impact the community,” she said. “An Adult Ally forms relationships or partnerships with youth, in that they work together towards a common goal on the basis of mutuality. Adult Allies share power and decision-making and listen to the ideas and insight youth might have.” Heilman said the objective is to get young people and adults working together in a way that recognizes the contribution of both groups. “We are challenging adults to reconsider the way they interact and work with young people,” she said. “The typical model isn’t working for a lot of youth. Doing things for youth often alienates them more than it includes them. This approach is more about doing things with them. It’s treating them as leaders for today, and not just leaders for tomorrow.” Dave Shanks, who is also a facilitator with Youth Launch, said the workshop was the culmination of a long process of

training young decision-makers in Martensville. “Our hope is that after this a group is formed that will provide positive change,” said Shanks. “There is a strong core group that includes a lot of adults that work with youth on a regular basis. We have a school principal, a member of the Kinsmen Club and others. The goal of our training is always to have participants come away with more awareness of what adults need to do to share power and to incorporate youth into the decisionmaking process - not just in a token way but in a meaningful way.” Shanks said the process has been used in many other urban centres across Canada and is a tried and proven way to build a “youth-friendly” community. Anyone interested in becoming an “Adult Ally” or in participating in the ongoing MCAC Youth Project is welcome to contact Jessica Fisher at youthcoordinatormcac@hotmail.ca .

Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings reached an alltime high of $918.15 in March 2012 according to Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan’s 5.9 per cent jump in average wages from a year ago was the highest among all provinces and well above the national increase of 2.1 per cent. Saskatchewan’s $51.50 increase was almost three times as high as the $17.91 national increase. Saskatchewan has the third highest wage rate among the provinces behind Alberta ($1,056.87) and Newfoundland and Labrador ($923.58), and well above the national average of $888.34. Saskatchewan’s wage rate has exceeded the national average since August 2011. “More people are working in Saskatchewan than ever before,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Better jobs, better wages. This is all part of the Saskatchewan Advantage.” With inflation of 1.8 per cent factored in, Saskatchewan had a real wage increase of 4.1 per cent year-over-year, the highest increase of all provinces and above the national increase of 0.2 per cent. Saskatchewan recorded an increase of 3.4 per cent in the number of occupied payroll jobs compared to a year ago, well above the national increase of 1.5 per cent. This was the second highest percentage increase in Canada behind Alberta at 5.2 per cent. At the moment, there are more than 11,000 jobs posted on Saskjobs.ca .

Full slate of projects planned for summer From new construction to upgrades, City of Martensville will be humming with activity Submitted By SCOTT BLEVINS CAO, City of Martensville

he following is an update of the City of Martensville’s 2012 projects.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS Traffic Signal Lights at Centennial Drive and Main Street are in the works. The consultant has been hired to complete the project and he has started the preliminary work. The consultant will be coordinating with the Ministry of Highways, the various suppliers and supervising the installation. Time frame for installation has not been determined but should be sometime this summer. PAVING ON EAST SIDE Paving and partial curbing at Range Road 3053 is on the drawing board. The Ministry of Highways is paving 3053 (10th Avenue South – north/south road that is east of MacCormack Road) from Main Street to Lutheran Road. The City is curbing the west side of this road within City limits so the area can be landscaped. Construction was supposed to start this year but it appears it may be completed in 2013. This project is in conjunction with the realignment of 305 from Martensville to Warman. PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY A Pedestrian Walkway for the busiest intersection in Martensville is coming. The City will be completing a paved walkway on the west side of Centennial from the Main Street intersection to Tim Horton’s. As part of the traffic light project, pedestrian signals will also be installed. It is expected that the walkway will be completed in conjunction with the installation of the traffic signal lights. SIDEWALK AND WALKWAY A new sidewalk and Walkway will be put in place on 6th Avenue South. It has become apparent that pedestrian safety was an issue with the lack of sidewalks and walkways on 6th Avenue South. The City will correct this with the installation of sidewalks on the boulevards of residential properties and the installation of an asphalt trail in the boulevard section of Lion’s Park. PAVING 1ST AVENUE S. There will be upgrades made to 1st Street South from Centennial Drive to 1st Avenue South. This section of road is currently graveled. The City is attempting to coordinate a Local Improvement to get this section of road paved. REPAVING 6TH STREET S. Improvements will be amde to 6th Street South. There is a portion of road that has significantly deteriorated at the entrance of 6th Street South off of Centennial Drive. The City has issued a request for tenders to repair and repave this portion of road. The City would like this completed as quickly as possible however it will be based on the timing listed in the tender results.

NEW CITY HALL The planning has started for the construction of a new City Hall. It is planned for the Civic Centre property since the City owns the land. The initial talks have been for a functional facility that is sharp but not elaborate. The facility will be designed to meet current needs as well as the needs for 5-10 years. The design will also incorporate plans for expansion rather than having to construct a whole new facility in the future. NEW BALL DIAMONDS There are new ball diamonds slated for MR5 (east of Venture Heights School and north of the Aquatic Facility). Work will continue on the site for most of the summer. The City is in the process of grading and tendering supplies. The goal is to have 2 Pee Wee baseball diamonds prepared for seeding this fall and playable in 2013. SPLASH PARK UPGRADES Upgrades are in the works for the venerable Splash Park. The Martensville Spray N Play Committee in conjunction with the City is hoping to start construction of the new Splash Park to replace the existing one in Lion’s Park. The new park will consist of 19 spray features and a concrete basin. The existing Splash Park will not be open this year due to safety reasons. The Spray N Play Committee is still seeking donations to reach their goal to ensure the New Splash Park commences construction in July. Individuals or businesses who wish to donate please contact Alisa at 221-5391. This has been an excellent project and shows how partnerships and commitment can ensure dreams can become realities. FUNDRAISING PARTNERS In light of what the Spray N Play Committee has been able to accomplish the City is hoping that other projects can become realities with fundraising partnerships within the community. Some of the talk lately for new facilities that residents would like to see is a second ice surface, Skateboard Park and a synthetic football/soccer field. The City would like to entertain discussions to form fundraising committees and make these dreams a reality. With resident commitment new facilities can be constructed without using 100% tax base funding. PARK DEVELOPMENT The development of a 1 acre park between Rock Hill Lane and Salmon Way off of 9th Avenue South will be starting this summer. The park will be named the Dallas Martens Memorial Park. The park amenities will include a play structure covering 6000 sq ft, open space development, paths and site furniture. OFF-LEASH DOG PARK Dog owners who are looking for an Off Leash Dog Park will be happy to hear some news. Upgrades to the park that will be taking place include the establishment of a gravel parking area, signage, develContinued on Page 5 Please see “CIVIC PROJECTS”

Former NHLer Leschyshyn joins Blades coaching staff A familiar name is back with the Saskatoon Blades. The WHL team announced that Curtis Leschyshyn will join the Blades’ coaching staff on a full-time basis next season. The former Saskatoon Blade spent the end of the 20112012 season serving as a parttime assistant coach for the Blades. “We are adding a man to our coaching staff who has a great passion for the game of hockey,” said Blades Head Coach and General Manager Lorne Molleken. “He’s had a very successful playing career and he worked with our team last year. After working with him for half of that season and getting to learn his philosophies, I really felt it was necessary to ask him to join us full-time next season,” added Molleken. “The feedback from the players was very positive in regards to how he worked with the guys, especially the defenceman. He’ll make a great addition to the club and we want to welcome him, his wife Laura and their kids Jake, Anna and Kate to the organization,” concluded Molleken. Leschyshyn played his junior career in Saskatoon with the Blades, dressing in 127 games from 1985 to 1988. He posted 28 goals, 99 points and 193 PIMs in his time with the Saskatoon Blades before being selected with the 3rd overall pick in the 1988 NHL Entry draft by Quebec. Leschyshyn spent parts of 16 seasons playing in the National Hockey League, playing with the Quebec/Colorado franchise, the Washington Capitals, the Hartford/Carolina franchise, the Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators. He played over 1000 NHL games in his career and he won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in the 1995-96 season. “I’m absolutely ecstatic to be joining the Blades full-time next season,” said Leschyshyn.

GERANSKY FIELD Geransky Field is badly in need of improvements. Once the soccer season is completed, re-leveling of the low areas will be completed to provide for better drainage. Similar work will be completed at the soccer pitches north of the Curling Rink. PATHWAY DEVELOPMENT The City is continuing the development and the landscaping of the linear pathway system located behind Glenview Cove and running north adjacent to Range Road 3053 (10th Avenue South) connecting to 4th Street South. This includes additional paved paths, trees, landscaping and the installation of benches/garbage receptacles. Pathway Lighting – The City will be installing additional pathway lighting this year. The additional lighting will be installed across from Reddekopp Drive and behind Venture Heights School. It is expected this project will be completed in the fall.

“It’s a great opportunity heading into next season with Saskatoon hosting the MasterCard Memorial Cup. It’s a big journey and we’re all excited to get things started and learn what the future holds.” Leschyshyn and his family moved back to Saskatoon in September, a place that they always considered to be home.

Careers

Summer job search made easier with a good resume The summer job season is fast approaching, and teens everywhere are updating their resumés, preparing for employment fairs and responding to want ads. But while many employers hire extra staff for the season, the search is often frustrating and fruitless for high school students. The summer unemployment rate for students is high—Statistics Canada reports that last year, it was 17.2%. As well, high schoolers have a tougher time finding work than college and university students: according to Statistics Canada, last summer, those age 15 to 16 experienced 30.7% unemployment, and for those age 17 to 19, it was 16.4%, while for those age 20 to 24, the rate was a much lower 10.3% Penny Golin knows firsthand how hard it can be to score summer work. Like many teens, the 15-year-old is looking for a job to gain experiences and skills that may serve her career goal—in her case, becoming a graphic designer. Of course, she also wants to save money for university, and for some current living expenses. She has submitted many resumés to fashion retailers, day camps, an amusement park, a country club—but has received very few offers. “It’s disappointing, but at this age, it’s really hard, because you don’t have a lot of work experience,” says Golin, of Toronto. That classic Catch-22—you can’t get a job without experience, but you can’t get expe-

rience until you get a job—is just one challenge job-hunting high school students face, says Kathy Dubeau, a guidance and co-operative education teacher at Stephen Lewis Secondary School in Mississauga, Ont. Others, she says, include not knowing where or how to look for jobs, and not having a current or effective resumé. “They might miss out on a potential job because they had experience in the area, but forgot about it, so it wasn’t included on their resumé,” Dubeau adds. Getting ahead in the competitive summer job market ultimately means being well prepared. School- and careerplanning service myBlueprint. ca has a new feature called Experiences and Resumé Builder that makes it easy to document accomplishments and prepare resumés. Available for free to students at public and Catholic schools wherever myBlueprint.ca is offered—the service is subscribed to by 1,500 middle and high schools within 40 school boards across the country—the tool lets users record experiences, achievements and skills that may one day help them find work, such as class projects, school clubs, hobbies, volunteer gigs and part-time or casual jobs. “There’s no need to try to figure it all out at the last minute—that’s when things get missed,” says Gil Silberstein, president of myBlueprint.ca. “With this tool, you can record every skill-developing experience or responsibility you have as you progress through middle and high school, and

Maximize your summer job search Kathy Dubeau, a guidance and co-operative education teacher at Stephen Lewis Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario offers the following tips to high school students trying to find summer work: 1. Have a current resumé ready at all times—make it well organized and professional looking with myBlueprint.ca (available at subscribing schools). 2. Know how to write an effective cover letter. 3. Use the “hidden job market”—personal networks and contacts—as many jobs aren’t publicly advertised. 4. Brush up on potential interview questions. 5. Have a suitable and well-fitting outfit ready for interviews. 6. Become familiar with job search websites, including for the Federal Student Work Experience Program when you’re ready to look for work, you can just click a button to generate a resumé.” The user-friendly software lets students organize experiences into different categories to create an effective and professional-looking resumé. Students applying for different types of jobs can create multiple customized resumés that include the most relevant experiences. At each step, tips are offered on how to optimize different sections of a resumé. Users can also get help with creating a functional cover letter. When completed, students can e-mail their resumé to potential employers directly from the site, or download and save it as a PDF or Microsoft Word document to use later.

SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS

Salon & Spa:

Creating a unique, comfortable client experience

When

opportunity knocked, the partnership between Lindsy Tkach and Charmaine Holan answered and a unique new approach to well-being was launched in the city of Martensville. Dahlia Salon and Spa, located in the Martensville Agencies building on Centennial Drive North, opened April 17 and since that time Tkach and Holan have barely had time to take a breather of their own. The pair worked day and night in the months leading up to the doors opening, ensuring everything was perfectly done the way it had been envisioned in the planning stages. From the first step inside, it’s apparent great care has been taken to ensure a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere is experienced by both women and men. Dahlia has chosen to be a Kevin Murphy Concept Salon as well as a Red Flower Spa two lines that complement each other beautifully and features four chairs where stylists are able to use their individual talents to create the look client’s want based on a consultation. The spa features three Cléo massage chairs for pedicures, two manicure stations, and 2 rooms containing a rain fall steam shower with massaging jets plus specifically chosen client beds for a variety of massage types as well as Reiki treatments. “The great thing about Kevin Murphy is it is born from the same philosophy as skin care and the products are made from renewable and sustainable resources whenever possible, using pure essential oils, plant extracts and natural antioxidants. All products are sulphate and paraben free,” Tkach states. “It’s an amazing system that is made so that when a client walks out they look and feel awesome.” Holan and Tkach are pleased to announce that Dahlia is Canada’s first and only spa carrying New York based Red Flower products. The spa offers three options from red flower, which change seasonally, for their manicures,pedicures and body treatments. The line is based on areas from around the world which include salts off the coast of Brazil, and skin care and body care with the idea of the Finland sauna houses. It is one hundred percent botanical, entirely free of all synthetics, parabens, dyes,petrochemicals and sulfates and is made with certified organic ingredients. Dahlia offers a multitude of packages ranging from a la carte services to full-day spa experiences for individuals as well as a large focus on groups as well as bridal parties . The salon and spa, which abides by a green theme of ecological care, is home to a total of three stylists as well as three aestheticians and a Reiki master. Tkach says Dahlia is on the search for a registered massage therapist to join their

team. Holan, who is a Master Aesthetician, says it’s important for clients to know that Dahlia’s team take great care in understanding the individual desires of each person who steps in-

side the salon. “We want to ensure clients know that they are important,” she explains. “We want them to feel welcome and special and we want them to feel that they have received a high value content for the services they have paid for. ” The team at Dahlia knows their clients want to be kept on top of the latest trends so Tkach and Holan are preparing to head out this weekend to a conference and show in Las Ve-

gas. “We will be taking in as much of the show as we can,” Tkach says as soothing spa music plays in the background. “There’s master colour classes, master cut classes, there’s competitions. Conferences like the one this weekend provide us with some great information and techniques and we think it’s something our clients deserve.” Holan added that the company plans to take its staff to many industry competitions this year with high hopes of returning with some awards.
