Smith, 29, was murdered in a Broadway-area apartment in Saskatoon sometime in the early morning hours of Friday, June 8. He was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy later confirmed he had died from stab wounds. Halkett’s case was adjourned until June 26 to allow the accused time to consult with a duty counsel and talk about his legal rights. Smith grew up in Elrose and later in Warman, where his mother, stepfather, brother and sister still live. He had lived in Saskatoon on and off for several years, but most recently he was running his

identities of the boys are protected by a publication ban. The incidents came to the attention of police after one of the boys boasted about his experience. Minogue admitted her involvment after being interviewed by police, and charges were subsequently laid. Minogue offered an apoology in court and accepted responsibility for her actions, which she described as inappropriate and inexcusable. The two-year sentence was imposed because federal institutions offer sex offender programming and treatment, while provincial correctional institutions do not. The sentence also reflects the serious nature of the offence, according to the prosecution.

A woman from Warman was sentenced to two years in a federal penitentiary for having sex with three of her son’s teenaged friends. Kelly Minque, 39, was sentenced in Saskatoon p≠≠≠rovincial court by Judge Barry Singer on Thursday, June 14 after pleading guilty to three counts of sexu≠≠al interference. According to Crown prosecutor Sheryl Fillo, Minogue, a divorced mother of two, would buy alcohol for her son’s friends while they partied at her home in Warman during the fall of 2010. On several occasions, she had sex with three of the 14-year old boys, after they got drunk on alcohol she supplied. The

A violent weather system packing strong winds and large hail thundered across much of the province on Friday, June 15. A complex pattern resulted in a huge number of funnel clouds, some of which touched down to create tornadoes in several communities. A large funnel cloud (above) was one of several located near Langham. The storm resulted in large hailstones the size of golf balls in Warman (near left) while the Neuhorst Road just west of Osler looked like a winter storm had blown through.

Design work gets underway for Highway 305 east of Dalmeny Drainage issues a major challenge for road builders By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

etailed design work is now underway on upgrading a 6.8 kilometer stretch of Highway 305 between the Dalmeny Access Road and Highway 12. At a public open house in Dalmeny on Monday, June 18, Terry Schmidt of EBA engineering told landowners that the final design should be ready by the spring of 2013. In the meantime, he noted, there will be ongoing consultation with landowners along the route to gather local input and deal with individual concerns. Schmidt said the project is part of a larger overall highway improvement strategy for the region aimed at improving traffic safety and boosting capacity. He said the functional planning study was completed in 2010, and the preliminary survey of the area was completed in the fall of 2011. The information contained in those documents provides the starting point for the latest phase of the project. Schmidt said the stretch of Highway 305 between the Dalmeny Access Road and Highway 12 was initially built in the 1930s and was upgraded during the 1950s. The engineering standards at that time were a lot different, he noted. “There was a lot of ditch fill and topsoil used in the construction of the road,” he said. “The ditches are narrow and steep, the road is narrow, with no shoulders, and it’s also very low, with very poor drainage.” Drainage is actually the major concern for road designers and builders, said Schmidt. “The topography is very flat UNRESERvED fARM AUCTIoN

and we’re going to have to do a lot of consultation with regard to where culverts are placed to ensure the natural drainage patterns - such as they are - are not restricted,” he stated. Schmidt said the road will be upgraded to the same standard as the new Highway 305 stretch between Highway 12 and 11, which is being completely re-routed and built from scratch. He said it is unclear at this time whether the 6.8 kilometer stretch between Highway 12 and the Dalmeny Access Road will need to be completely rebuilt, or whether the existing roadway can be incorporated into the base. “What we can say is there will be a consistent standard for the entire road,” he noted. “We need to set a higher elevation for the road to ensure it is high enough to keep it dry in the spring and after a rainfall. We also need to have an adequate height for the ditches and ensure the ditches are wide enough with a side slope and back slope that allows a vehicle to recover without rolling over if it leaves the road.” Schmidt said during the design process, a safety review will be conducted. He noted there is a need to find a balance between safety and mitigating potential impacts on the 27 landowners adjacent to the highway. “It’s a tradeoff,” he conceded. “Each tradeoff does increase the risk to safety, but there comes a point at which safety can no longer be compromised.” Collision and accident statistics indicate that during the 7 year period from 2003 to 2009, there was a total of 12 collisions along the roadway. Eight of those collisions resulted in property damage, and 4 resulted in personal injuries. There were, however, no fatal accidents during that period.

Most of the accidents were single-vehicle rollovers, with one rear-end collision and one head-on collision. There were also three collisions at intersections - two of those at the intersection with the Dalmeny Access Road and one at a private driveway. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure design standards call for a 31 meter rightof-way from the centreline of the upgraded highway. Schmidt said the road will be designed to handle primary weights and higher volumes. “It’s going to be designed to last 25 to 30 years,” Schmidt said. “Current traffic volumes on that road are between 900 and 1200 vehicles per day, and thre’s every indication those traffic volumes will keep increasing. The new standards require the road to accommodate traffic travelling at speeds up to 120 kilometers per hour, with a posted speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour.” The project is currently on the Ministry of Highways 5-year capital spending plan. Once the detailed design work is completed, and funds allocated by the province in the government’s annual budget, tenders can be put out for bids by contractors. Nancy Heppner, MLA for Martensville constituency, said she is excited to see this stretch of road upgraded. “It’s been a long time coming,” she noted in an interview after the meeting. “It’s one of several roads that really need to be fixed up. This is one of the fastest-growing areas of the province and we’ve seen a lot of increased traffic, especially truck traffic, on these highways.” She said with work beginning on the Dalmeny Access Road this spring, the improvements will make a big difference to the community of Dalmeny.

EBA consulting engineer Terry Schmidt talks with landowners who live along the 6.8 kilometer stretch of Highway 305 east of Dalmeny that is slated for upgrading. EBA is the engineering consulting firm that is currently working on the detailed design for the highway. The road was initially constructed in the 1930s and was upgraded in the 1950s. The new design will bring the highway up to standards capable of carrying primary weights, with increased safety features including wider driving lanes, shoulders and changes to the side slope and back slope of ditches. Drainage will be a major challenge for roadbuilders as the topography of the area is very flat. (Gazette photo by Terry Pugh)

TRAINING Continued from Page 3

the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway just off Highway 12. “Not everything happens in the City of Saskatoon. We can put these placements all around the city, just on the cusp of our zones, and then everybody can get together in a training situation. Then it becomes a matter of using the available resources and expertise the best way possible.” McCormick said SPFS has state-of-the-art technology available to handle emergency situations involving hazardous materials spills or accidents. A Haz-Mat equipment trailer and a decontamination unit enable emergency personnel to establish a protective containment zone around the spill or accident scene, while providing medical care and safety measures for people working in or being evacuated from the area. Craig Young, SFPS Battalion 4 Chief, said joint training is a necessity, not a frill, because incidents involving dangerous goods don’t respect municipal boundaries. “It’s good for us to be doing this joint effort with Martensville,” said Young. “This is a training scenario, but sooner or later, we’ll be faced with the real thing and we’ll need a multi-agency response. We need to work as an entire group with a coordinated effort.” Young said the SPFS, like the fire departments in surrounding communities, is constantly holding training sessions for its personnel on everything from fires, water rescue, high-angle rescue, medical calls and dangerous goods. He noted that setting up joint training sessions involves a lot more planning and commitment, but believes the regional approach is essential.

Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck agreed the joint training exercise was invaluable. “As a department we don’t always have the resources for some situations, like those involving hazardous goods spills,” Dyck explained. “But with everyone working together, everyone has a role to play.” Dyck was assigned the role of “Incident Commander” for the training exercise, which involved a scenario where three pails of unidentified chemicals had been discovered spilled on a road near the race track. Because the chemicals were unidentified, SPFS was also called in. Because the Martensville Fire Department crew was the first on scene, Chief Dyck became the Incident Commander. “It’s a learning curve, definitely,” said Dyck. “With the unified command structure, we have knowledgeable people in command of various aspects of the operation. For example, there is someone in command of the DG operation, and another person in charge of the

5 decontamination unit. My job as incident commander is to make sure things are coordinated, and if there are things that are needed that are not on scene, then I would take care of getting them here.” SPFS Captain Morgan Hackl said even though the Saskatoon firefighters train regularly for DG situations, adding the Martensville Fire Department into the mix added a new perspective to the training session. “It’s wonderful to be able to work with Martensville on a scenario like this, because as the City of Saskatoon grows, and as Martensville and Warman grow, they are becoming one big metropolitan area,” Hackl stated. “There are so many different types of hazardous materials travelling through and around Saskatoon on the highways and railways. It’s important that we practice and work together so when we are faced with a real-life emergency situation like this, then we’re really prepared for it.” Eron McCormick said as a

professional firefighter working with SPFS and as a member of the Warman Fire Department, he sees the need for closer cooperation and joint training sessions. “We have trains that run through Warman every day that have caustic materials and goods in tanker cars under high pressure, so there is always a concern if there’s a derailment or an accident,” McCormick said. “There are also lots of transport trucks carrying hazardous materials that travel on highways through the city and the region every day.”

Rider hurt in collision with deer on Highway 219 A 70 year-old motorcyle rider was injured on Saturday, June 16 while Highway 219, 15 kilometers south of Whitecap Reserve. According to MD Ambulance the male patient suffered multiple fractures when a deer ran out of the ditch and ran into the side of his motorcycle.

Lifejacket 101

Why Sask booze prices are so high The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) made $442 million in 2010-11 – $215 million of which came from profits from the sale of alcohol. Unfortunately, this is about all we know about how booze pricing works in Saskatchewan – a concern for Provincial Auditor Bonnie Lysyk. In her recent 2012 annual Provincial Auditor’s report, Lysyk concluded that the SLGA should development “a more proactive, transparent, customer-focused strategy for buying liquor that is also more transparent.” “SLGA’s current liquor pricing policy does not provide it with an incentive to negotiate lower costs for liquor products,” Lysyk concluded in her report. “Under the current policy, lower costs reduce SLGA’s profits, which in turn may result in less money provided to the government. SLGA also considers social responsibility in its pricing decisions. “It is important that information on pricing be transparent so that citizens can understand government revenue and related policy decisions embedded in the pricing of liquor.” If you’re like me, Lysyk’s report has confirmed what you have suspected for years – that you’ve been gouged on the liquor you buy. However, governments – even free-enterprise governments like this Saskatchewan Party – don’t seem to think there’s much wrong with that. For years now, the debate over Saskatchewan liquor pricing has been over the notion that booze prices are high here because of the cost of the government-owned

Lifejackets have been saving lives for hundreds of years with the first recorded history of use by Norwegian seamen who used simple blocks of wood. The forerunner of the modern lifejacket was invented by Captain Ward of England. In 1854 he created a cork vest designed to be worn by lifeboat crews for both weather protection and buoyancy. This early style of lifejacket can be seen in the movie the Titanic. It was a useful survival tool but eventually gave way to those made of Kapok. Kapok was a softer alternative to cork which was good news to navy seamen who often wore their lifejackets whenever aboard, including even when they were sleeping. Now, no one is suggesting that you wear your lifejacket when you sleep aboard, but the message that the Canadian Safe Boating Council has been delivering for years; “Boat Safe, Boat Smart – Wear It” and “It’s Your Life….Preserve It” are certainly relevant for most other times we are aboard especially in smaller open boats. The question is, why do we continue to ignore those messages, putting ourselves, our loved ones and friends at risk? Interestingly, CSBC and Smart Risk’s research demonstrates that most of us insist that our children wear their PFDs. However the willingness to wear a PFD drops from 85 percent for children under 5, to a low of 37 percent by the time they reach their teen years and continues to decline significantly after the teen years. So what’s the result of all this complacency and unwillingness to wear a PFD? Across Canada, 80 percent of recreational boaters who drown each and every year were not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD). Most of these drownings occur in small open power boats, accounting for 60 percent of these preventable deaths. A majority of these victims were males between the ages of 19 and 35, out for a day of fishing. An average of 140 unnecessary drownings occur every year. Many boaters who drown believe they are good swimmers, so they feel that having a PFD on board and within easy reach is good enough. But what good is a PFD that is stored under a seat or under the bow going to be when the unexpected happens? Most drownings happen unexpectedly when small boats capsize or someone falls overboard. The PFD that you leave behind is not much use, especially in cold water. Speaking of cold water, in Canada, many boaters like to extend their boating season as long as they can when water temperatures particularly at the beginning and end of season can be very chilly. There are also parts of this country where water temperatures remain cold all year around. Hypothermia is a condition most boaters have heard about, and can lead to many problems such as disorientation and rapid incapacitation, but the real shocker is found in the new research on sudden cold water immersion. Death from sudden cold water immersion happens very, very quickly. Research by Dr. Michael Tipton, a leading expert in cold water immersion, has shown that the “gasp reflex” from sudden immersion has led to more deaths than previously known. The reaction causes a sudden uncontrollable gasp, followed by 1-3 minutes of hyperventilation. The initial gasp can cause you to inhale up to 2 litres of water, causing drowning. This volume of water will cause an individual not wearing a PFD to sink and not re-appear. If the first gasp of water is not fatal, hyperventilation will lead to the rapid onset of severe hypothermia and death. So if the “gasp reflex” doesn’t get you initially, you still face the second effect of cold water immersion, cold incapacitation. In cold water your extremities will numb quickly, progressing to make it more difficult to swim and eventually if you are not wearing a lifejacket, swim failure and drowning is imminent. If you are wearing a lifejacket, the third effect of cold water immersion is hypothermia and it can occur in water as warm as 20 degrees. With all that information, the message should be clear. Having your lifejacket on before you end up in the water will greatly increase your chance of survival. So why don’t we? Some of the common reasons for not wearing a lifejacket are: “they’re uncomfortable;” and “they look stupid.” Well those reasons just don’t fly anymore. Things have changed and there is a new generation of lifejackets in town. Whether they are specialized lifejackets for specific on water activities or the new inflatable lifejackets, they are much more comfortable than the old standard ones and certainly put those old objections to rest. There are many new, improved (and approved by Transport Canada) lifejackets and all are all designed to be lightweight and comfortable. There is a wide range of styles and colours and all are designed for the type of boating you do and conditions you face. Whether it be paddling, sailing, fishing, water sports or riding personal water craft, there is a lifejacket suited for it. The new face on the waterfront are the inflatables; the most comfortable, lightweight lifejackets you can buy and are available in vest or pouch styles. Inflatable jackets come standard with manual inflation, but a few models are available with automatic inflation, which instantly inflates the lifejacket when you hit the water. To meet Canadian Small Vessel Regulations, inflatable lifejackets must be worn at all times when aboard and underway and may not be worn by a person under the age of 16, or weighing less than 36.3 kilograms. When choosing a lifejacket follow these simple guidelines: Choose one that is suitable for the activity you are involved in and check the label to make sure that it is Canadian approved and is of the correct size. Finally, make sure it fits snugly. If you don’t wear it, it won’t work.

retailed liquor stores in the province. After all, government liquor store workers do generally receive higher wages than other retail sale employees. (That said, those that buy their booze from private rural vendors in this province already realize there’s no break buying from a private outlet.) However, while Lysyk’s report doesn’t specifically address the costs associated with the public component of retail liquor sales in Saskatchewan, she does suggest that what goes into liquor pricing is a lot more bit more complicated than that. According to the Provincial Auditor, like most Canadian jurisdictions, Saskatchewan’s liquor retail pricing is based “on a fixed mark-up of the wholesale price”. Moreover, the mark-up rate is the same for all products within a category and ranges from 40-per-cent to 184-per-cent (with whisky, gin, rum and vodka having a mark-up of about 162 per cent.) Given this relationship between the wholesale and retail prices, the main ways for the SLGA to increase its revenue is by “adjusting the product mix increase consumer demand, enhance customer service or increase the markup percentage,” Lysyk wrote in her report. There really is no incentive to “negotiate lower wholesale costs as so doing so would result in lower retail

maybe not. Asked about the Auditor’s findings, SLGA Minister Donna Harpauer acknowledged that more disclosure on how liquor pricing worked might be in order, but there will be no policy change that will result in cheaper consumer prices at the expense of provincial coffers. In a choice between raking in as much money from alcohol sales as possible and raising taxes elsewhere, the government will continue to opt for getting as much money out liquor sales as possible, Harpauer admitted. And that may be all that you really need to know about liquor pricing, folks. They are high and will remain high because governments see that as the best policy.

sales, and, in turn lower profits.” “Lower profits would be contrary to its mandate of generating profits for the General Revenue Fund and encouraging responsible drinking,” the Provincial Auditor wrote. Saskatchewan retail liquor prices appear to be “within the range of those set by other provinces,” Lysyk said. However, all Canadian governments have “traditionally used liquor profits (taxes and mark-ups) to subsidize government programs.” But surely a more free-enterprise-minded government like the Saskatchewan Party that supports free markets and an adult individual’s right to make his or her own choices would have a problem with this approach, right?

This disorder is extremely hard to control. In the last several weeks, Quinn has had hundreds of seizures.

Martensville Firefighters receive award for exceptional bravery By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

even members of the Martensville Fire Department received individual Stars of Life Team Awards from the Saskatchewan Lieutenant-Governor at a special ceremony at Government House in Regina on Thursday, June 14. The award, which recognizes acts of extraordinary heroism and bravery by emergency medical response personnel, is one of the highest honours that can be given to EMS workers in Saskatchewan. The awards, which were given to Martensville Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin and fellow department members Darren Remenda, Mike Smith, Gary David, Korbin Loy, Chad Eckes, and Kevin Martens, were presented as part of the annual Saskatchewan Emergency Medical Services Association (SEMSA) Annual Awards ceremony. Leighton Ballard and Mike Schindell of MD Ambulance were also included in the team award. The awards were given in recognition of the firefighters’ role in rescuing an injured worker who was trapped inside a piece of machinery in the fall of 2011. The incident was also recognized by the Saskatoon Health Region with a special award in 2011. “We’re very proud of these guys and what they did that day,” said Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck in an interview June 14. “They worked as a team with the paramedics from MD Ambulance to save this individual,

at a tremendous risk to their own lives. It was very dramatic for everyone involved.” Dyck said any of the members of the fire department would have responded in the same way. “These just happened to be the individuals who went out on that particular call,” he said. “We respond to other incidents that have been just as stressful, but in the minds of the people responsible for the awards, this was something that was so far out of the ordinary that it was deserving of a special award.” Russ Austin said all the members who received awards were “humbled” by the recognition. “It’s the first time that some recognition oat this level has ever come through for this department, so its’ a great thing for us and for MD Ambulance as well,” he said. In an interview June 14, Austin said while he wasn’t able to provide too many details of the incident because of privacy concerns, he confirmed it was an industrial accident where a worker was sucked into a machine “We were asked to perform a very difficult, technical rescue,” Austin said. “Basically we had to disassemble equipment, and at times tunnel into, and over, and through stuff to get to the individual trapped inside the machine. As we went along, we had to build a cribbing structure so the whole thing didn’t collapse in on the rescuers. The whole operation took about an hour, but once we got to him and got him out of there, he was in a surgical suite in Royal University Hospital within a half hour after that.”

Austin said it was a very unusual call. “It’s not one we would see every day,” he noted. “It was something I’ve never seen before in my 19 years in this business. But everybody who came in didn’t need to be told what to do. It was a seamless team effort.” He said the fire personnel are used to working in buildings or vehicles, but industrial accidents are not as common. “We train about 400 hours per year, and we’re certified to the same standards as full-time professional firefighters,” he said. “But when something unusual like this

Bryan Newton of the Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs completes his windup

ain, rain go away. That’s the refrain the members of the Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs are singing this season, as they’ve had several games cancelled because of rain, as well as a couple of tournaments cut short. Delisle did manage to get a game in last week though, as they met the Saskatoon Parktown Padres on June 12 at Gordie Howe Park No. 1. Delisle was home team in the matchup, and took full advantage, jumping out to a 3-1 lead in the first and shutting down the Padres offensively. The Padres only run of the game came in the first inning on a Delisle error, when an overthrow to first by third baseman Hitchings saw a runner cross the plate. The Dogs’ first inning runs came courtesy of a home run to centre left by second baseman Mike Lawton. His hit drove in Jason Hitchings, who had doubled off the centre field wall, and Pat MacKintosh, who had singled to right field earlier in the inning. In the second inning, Delisle starting pitcher Ryan Baptiste got two strike

outs and a grounder to help his team defensively. In the Dogs’ half of the inning, the first two batters had no success, but then the bats came alive. Hitchings hit a single to centre, and advanced to third on a centre field double by MacKintosh, before second baseman Lawton hit a single to shallow centre that drove Hitchings in. Then first baseman Curtis Adair homered to right field, giving the Dogs a 7-1 lead. The Padres had no luck in the third inning, sending only four batters to the plate. In the bottom half of the third, Delisle only scored one run, on a wild pitch. Bryan Newton came in to pitch the fourth inning for the Dogs and had three strike outs to end the Padres hopes of scoring. Adair singled to centre field to get on base in the fourth, followed by another centre field single by Shawn Colborn. Both runners were brought home by a towering right field home run by Baptiste. With the score 11-1, the Padres managed to get out of the inning without seeing any more Delisle players cross the plate. In the top of the fifth, Newton came out strong and shut down the Padres with three straight strike outs to end the inning and the game. The Dogs didn’t use their last at bats, quite happy with

their 11-1 victory. “Both pitchers threw really well,” said Delisle coach Shawn Colborn after the game. The team hasn’t been playing very many games because of the wet weather, he noted, so it was nice to get a complete game in before they competed in a weekend tournament. “It was a good warm up for the Padres tournament this weekend,” he explained. Delisle was one of 13 teams competing in the 35th annual Saskatoon Parktown Padres fastball tournament held in Saskatoon June 15-17. “There are good solid clubs there and it will be a tough tournament,” Colborn said. The same tournament was rained out last year and Colborn was a little worried about this year’s because of a forecast calling for rain on Sunday. He was right to be worried, as the tournament went ahead Friday and Saturday, but the day-long rain on Sunday kept the teams off the field. Delisle, playing in Pool D with the Bruno Merchants and the Irma Royals, did get in two games on Saturday. They defeated Irma 7-0 in the first game and tied the Merchants 6-6 in the second. Their game on Sunday was cancelled though because of the weather.

Bob Hughes certainly nailed it The legendary Hall of Fame sportswriter, now retired, predicted on our In The Huddle television program last week that the BC Lions would badly want to win their home preseason game against Saskatchewan in the debut of new head coach Mike Benevides. Did they ever. While the Riders dressed 62 players with over half them being rookies Wednesday night at BC Place, the Lions displayed a veteran crew which played the bulk of the game and pulverized Saskatchewan 44-10 Wednesday night. It was akin to the bully kicking sand in the weakling’s face on the beach. “They played their dogs and we played our puppies,” laughed rookie Rider coach Corey Chamblin the day after the game, showing no

apparent concern over the score. The defending Grey Cup champs were flexing their muscle and sending a message to the rest of the league that they are the early contenders in 2012. They played that game like it was a division final rather than a meaningless encounter in June. “They did what they had to do and we did what we had to do,” Chamblin explained. The Riders were quietly seething at B.C.’s tactics but

would not say so publicly. Look, you never want to get blown out on national television whether it’s the Grey Cup or an exhibition game. It just looks bad. The Lions knew the Riders were bringing rookies and were running base offense and defense with no game plan and they exploited that. However the good news is the Rider braintrust got what they wanted out of it and that was to get a look at all the fresh faces in training camp in game conditions. They

also left their key veterans at home and starting quarterback Darian Durant only played three series. That will change this week when the Calgary Stampeders come to town for the final preseason game for both teams Friday night. They’re a tremendous amount of excitement around this one for two reasons: 1) it’s the first time the Rider Nation will get to see their team in live game action at home in 2012 and 2) Mosaic Stadium has undergone a $14-million renovation including two massive new scoreboards and endzone theatre seats. This season is a long, long ways from being over. Heck, it hasn’t even started yet. And do you remember how that sand-kicking on the beach story ended? The weakling grows up.

The Barn Playhouse transforms into Green Gables to stage Canadian classic By HILARY KLASSEN

hilaryklassen@gmail.com

he Barn Playhouse and Anne of Green Gables were clearly meant for each other. With its homey pine-panelled walls adorned with everything from horse bridles to wall quilts, the Barn Playhouse’s rural decor is the perfect stage setting for this timeless coming-of-age story by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Anne of Green Gables is the Barn Playhouse’s most popular show. It sold out shortly after the box office opened, so two more shows were added for Monday, June 25 and Tuesday, June 26. Get your tickets before they disappear. This much loved Canadian classic never fails to delight audiences. From the opening scene where Anne is distraught upon hearing a boy orphan was preferred to a girl, to the accomplished young woman we encounter later, the audience is caught up in the trials and triumphs of this remarkable character. Jill Sperling beautifully portrays Anne Shirley in all her frailty and charm. Anne’s eccentricities, like when her hands shake wildly when she gets excited, evoke laughs from the audience. Jill is no stranger to the Barn Playhouse stage. She first appeared at the age of 9 as part of the chorus in The Music Man, and was a child lead in As Far as Mill Spring. Returning to familiar surroundings as an adult, Jill captures the essence of Anne, and the show sparkles because of her performance. Also memorable is Kaylyn Bull who plays Diana Barry, Anne’s “bosom friend.” In the scene where Anne mistakenly serves Diana currant wine instead of raspberry cordial, Kaylyn plays the tipsy Diana with much panache. This is a “tea” party gone hilariously wrong. First-time performer Robin Mountney can now check acting off her bucket list. She amused everyone as the feisty, slightly smug Rachel Lynde.

Veteran actor Beverly Martin plays Marilla Cuthbert. During one scene, her character says: “There’s nothing more aggravating than a man who won’t talk.” Audience members know exactly what she means. Other cast members are Rick Cranston as Matthew Cuthbert who unerringly delivers the recurring and considered one-liner, “Well now,” Naomi Esau as Jane Andrews, Katrina Froese as Josie Pye, Leigha McDonald as Ruby Gillis, Brandon Braun as Gilbert Blythe, Chris Frostad as Moody Spurgeon McPherson, Tanja Funk as Mrs. Barry, and Michael Vellacott as the Stationmaster. The cast blends well together, and that strengthens the production. The Barn Playhouse offers open auditions, and theatre director Victoria Dyck says they try to balance the number of veteran actors with newcomers. “The right people always come along,” explained Dyck. “The actors morph into a combination between the character in the script and the person who’s playing them. That, to me, is the thrill. To see how far they’ve come, how good they get and how much they love each other.” As well as being the Director and Designer, Vickie Dyck runs the lights and sound for the show. Well-chosen music links each scene and holds the theme as we wait for the lights to come up again. She also functions as carpenter when necessary along with set creators Lorraine Eichhorn and Matt Wiebe. “We do everything here,” she said. “We build the set. We are carpenters, designers, and sew costumes, everything that is required.” From auditions until the show starts they work 18 hour days.

the era, including Anne’s desired, “puffed sleeves.” Other semblances of the era include Marilla and Rachel sitting at a table and doing their embroidery while conversing, and school girls carrying their books bound in a belt and slung over their shoulders. Through the set we become part of the homestead of Green Gables, we enter the village of Avonlea, and the world of Prince Edward Island. The Barn Playhouse earned a “Business of the Year” award from Tourism Saskatchewan earlier this spring. The award recognized the theatre’s contribution to making Saskatchewan an “inviting, enticing destination.” The guest book contains names of people from all over the world.

Vickie Dyck said the award was “very humbling” because it’s such a group effort. “Being at the awards event made me reflect over the last twenty years. The evening led up to our award and as I listened to others, I remembered when we were at that stage… You don’t do it because of this. You are completely humbled because people have appreciated what you do and acknowledged it. The Barn Playhouse is here because people still enjoy being in plays and coming to see them.” Anne of Green Gables delights on many levels. Frieda Enns, one of the last audience members to leave the theatre summed it up nicely: “I’ve read it a thousand times but I always have to cry.”

Radisson Zion Museum takes visitors back to good old days By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

n the fall of 2004, the Zion United Church in Radisson held its last religious service. The congregation just couldn’t afford to keep the doors open, and the church was put up for sale. Everyone expected it to be the end of the line for the old building, which had stood on the same street corner since 1908. Well, almost everyone. Barb Cousins, Norm Hiebert and Kirk Maxwell just couldn’t bear to see one of the town’s best-known landmarks fall under the wrecker’s ball. They pooled their funds and put in a bid to buy the church, lock, stock and pulpit. “We got a good deal,” explained Kirk Maxwell with a grin. “We put in a bid and we bought everything, the church and all its contents - corner to corner. The pulpit, the stained glass windows, all the pews, all the hymn books, all the coffee cups. Everything.” While Maxwell jokes that they bought the place just so they would have a place to put all their “old junk”, the new owners actually had a farreaching vision for the building. They wanted a place that was fun and entertaining, and where the history of the community could come to life. After getting the title to the building and property in January, 2005, they set out to transform the old church into a vibrant, grassroots community museum with a difference. “We like to have people come in and get a real sense of the past,” explained Norm Hiebert. “We encourage hands-on tours. Literally. We like to have people experience these great pieces of the past first-hand. We let people sit on the furniture and try the old phones, for instance. We’ll serve up old-fashioned drinks in our cafe in the basement, and play some 1920s-era music on the gramaphone so you can dance in the parlour.” The trio began a series of renovations to the main floor and the basement, and over the years every little nook and cranny has developed its own unique personality. There’s a cafe, a barber shop, a grocery store, a living room and parlour, and even a curtainedoff bathroom complete with a turn-of-the-century tin toilet from an area farmhouse. A portion of the building was set aside to reflect the church heritage, and the rest was remodelled to accommodate the thousands of antiques that were discovered, stumbledupon, donated, purchased, scrounged and found on their doorstep. While the museum may be privately-owned, it really belongs to the whole community, says Barb Cousins. “It’s a gathering place,” she notes. “And people are always looking for items that will make this museum better, especially anything that has to do with the local history of the area.” There are artifacts from Yee Eddie’s emporium, one of the earliest general stores in town, which started business in 1905 and operated until the

1950s. But among the local history jewels of the museum is a set of photos of the first couple to be married in Radisson. Ralph and Mary Ellen (Dawson) Racine tied the knot on November 8, 1906. The photos and marriage certificate were donated by the couple’s daughter, Blanche (Racine) Weir of Perdue. There is also an Edison gramaphone with a wind-up crank and a collection of cylinder records. The machine is the focal point of the parlour, and is always a big hit with youngsters who are more familiar with digitial music and ipods than with Thomas Edison’s invention. The museum owners have gotten a lot of assistance from Joyce and Wally Schultz, who own an antique store in Radisson. For Joyce Schultz, the museum is a place where pleasant memories still live on. “When we find something old for the museum, it reminds us of happy childhood times,” she said. “It brings back the good old days.” Maxwell said there is an appeal to vintage items that appeals to a wide cross-section of people. But there are others who simply don’t get it. “A lot of people maybe don’t see the value in preserving these items,” he stated. “They see it as simply old junk. I know my dad lived through some hard times and when improvements came along they wanted to throw the outdated stuff away. A lot of it went into the junkpile or back to the bush. I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t have a truck to save everything that got chucked out.” Hiebert admitted there’s a fine line between collecting and hoarding. “In my case there is no line,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s the same thing.” But he said people generally recognize the heritage value of many antiques. “We bought the potbellied stove from the Petrofka 50s Diner when Lyle Lamb sold out,” he said. “If you put up your hand enough times at auctions you end up getting things. We paid good money for it, and the auctioneer commented after the sale that we could double or triple our investment by selling it in Edmonton or Vancouver. But we got a round of applause from the people at the auction when I said the stove was going to be the centrepiece in a museum in Radisson.” Hiebert said while the trio spends many rewarding hours working in the museum, filling up every available square inch of space with artifacts, the real pleasure comes from tracking down and acquiring rare items. “It’s the thrill of the chase that I like,” he said. “Sometimes I’m not sure what I’m looking for until I see it. Other times I’ll know exactly what I’m after, and it might take me years, but I’ll find it eventually.” Right now the things that are high on their agenda are Red and White grocery store items. Cousins said the best part of owning a museum is meeting people who pass through and share their stories. “Definitely, the people we have come to know over the years

through this hobby, or obsession, makes it all very rewarding,” she said. Earlier this year, the trio received an award from the RiverWest District for Sport, Culture and Recreation for

their work with the Zion Museum. The museum is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m., or you can simply call Barb and Norm at 827-2117 or Kirk at

Warman area resident receives Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal By PAT PECKOVER

peckpatr@uregina.ca

efinitely an honour. That’s how a Warman area resident described his feelings after receiving a Saskatchewan Protective Services medal. “To be honoured like this is a humbling thing,” said Randy Meginbir, a member of Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services (SFPS). Meginbir was one of 35 recipients of the medal, handed out by Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield during a ceremony in Saskatoon on Monday, June 18. Meginbir joined the SFPS in 1994, but has been involved in the protective services for 31 years. He began his career as a volunteer fire fighter in 1980 in southern Saskatchewan, including a stint with the Assiniboia department before becoming a paramedic with MD Ambulance. He spent five years with the Warman volunteer fire department before deciding to make it a full-time career. Currently, he works out of the No. 6 Fire Hall on Taylor St. “I’ve really enjoyed the career, making a difference in people’s lives,” Meginbir said. Meginbir knew he had been nominated for the medal and found out about six months ago that he would be a recipient. “I was just honoured to be chosen,” he said of his reaction when he was told he would be a recipient of the medal. Meginbir’s wife Carollyn is very proud of him. “It’s been a lot of years of

sacrifice and dedication, but knowing he’s making a difference in people’s lives is important,” she said. That sacrifice and dedication has transmitted itself to Meginbir’s two sons; one is a paramedic and the other is joining the RCMP. Wayne Elhard, MLA for Cypress Hills and Provincial Secretary, said that the recipients of the medal have each provided an investment of a minimum of 25 years of service in the province’s array of diverse communities, providing teamwork that everyone can depend on to ensure their safety and security. “These recipients represent a long tradition of dedication and are an embodiment of the province’s motto of ‘From Many Peoples, Strength’,” Elhard said. Lt. Gov. Schofield also spoke of the dedication of those receiving the medal. “Despite the inherent risks, you have chosen to serve with honour and dignity and I am pleased to be able to honour publicly all who protect and serve us,” she stated. Schofield also singled out the recipients’ families for special thanks. “You enable your loved ones to make such important contributions to our communities,” she said. Established in 2003, the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal recognizes exemplary long service for individuals working in a direct capacity to protect people and/or property, and supervisory personnel in the public service sectors who ensure the safety, security and protection of Saskatchewan citizens.

Communities gear up to celebrate Canada’s birthday in style By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

reak out those Red and White Maple Leaf flags, folding chairs and stickon tattoos. Canada Day celebrations are in the works as communities gear up for family-oriented festivities on Sunday, July 1 and Monday, July 2.

Martensville are also very family-oriented, with all the action taking place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre. Kristee Lee Adrian, Coordinator of the Martensville Community Access Centre, says the event is growing in popularity every year, as more young families take advantage of the old-fashioned fun. She said the emphasis is on involving as many volunteers as possible. “This year we are trying to get more seniors and more youth involved,” she noted. “It’s a real grassroots initiative, and we’re always looking for new ideas.” The festivities kick off at 1:00 with indoor and outdoor family activities taking place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre and Kinsmen Park. The Canada Day Cake and ice-cream gets distributed to the first 200 fair-goers at 3:30 pm at the North Ridge centre. At sundown there will be a “Cinema Under the Stars” featuring a newly-released animated movie. Fireworks are slated to start about 9:30 p.m., or whenever it’s dark enough. Adrian said there’s a bit of a break in the activities between 5:00 p.m. and dusk,

WARMAN CELEBRATION In Warman, the events go from dawn to dusk on July 1, according to Coralie Bueckert with the Warman Parks and Recreation Department. “We started doing Canada Day celebrations in 2008,” Bueckert explained. “A lot of people from our community were going into Saskatoon to take part in that event, but there were lots of complaints about the lack of parking, and how crowded and busy it was. So we felt the time was right to launch our own event.” Bueckert said the first year things started off fairly small, but the event has grown every year since then. “The first time we tried it we had maybe 100 people show up, but the last time we had a big fireworks display, we had well over 700 people watching the show,” she said. “It was packed.” Bueckert said “The first time we tried it we while the event is organized under the had maybe 100 people show auspices of the town, up, but the last time we had much of the work is done by volunteers. a big fireworks display,. we Funding is partially had well over 700 people...” supplied by a grant • Coralie Bueckert, Town of Warman from the federal government. when the movie get underway. “We have volunteer groups “We’re offering the barthat run the concession, so becue right into the evening they’re able to do a little bit of this year, and we’ll have cotfundraising,” she explained. ton candy and popcorn for the “We also have a pancake movie,” she said. “It’s really breakfast where the funds go an old-fashioned evening, and toward a designated charity. there’s no cost except what We’re looking to involve as people buy from the concesmany individuals and groups sions.

Horoscopes

CAPRICORN Laughter lights up your world this week, Capricorn. Everyone it seems is in good spirits and has something funny to share. A memo is not reason for pause. AQUARIUS Peace fills your home, and you must work quickly to find a way to ensure it stays that way, Aquarius. A health concern eases with an alternative treatment. PISCES Boredom sets in at home, and it’s up to you to liven things up, Pisces. Hot days call for cool fun. A letter seals the deal, and you must get cracking. ARIES Passion sizzles with a one-of-a-kind gift, Aries. Tasks get checked off the to-do list quickly with delegation. An auto dilemma is solved with resourcefulness. TAURUS Too bad, Taurus. You give it a try, but alas, it doesn’t work. Try not to get too worked up about it. A bigger, better opportunity is in store. GEMINI Prepare for your brain to be picked, Gemini, when old friends drop by. They’re looking for something, which you may or may not be able to provide. CANCER Oh, how you long for the good times, and oh, how you’re about to get them, Cancer. Everything you touch will be golden this week! LEO Caution, Leo. Now is not the time to drop the ball.

An adventure on the water brings the gang together for some fun under the sun. LIBRA Of all the offers you receive, none will be as good as the one that comes your way this week, Libra. Don’t say no. A habit turns out to be harder to break than thought. SCORPIO Round and round you go, Scorpio. Where you fall no one knows—except for that little chap that’s been following you. Act fast to get back on track. SAGITTARIUS Hold back, Sagittarius. Enthusiasm can be contagious, but it can also be a turnoff. Restraint is key. Motivate but don’t push. An organization beckons.

Student’s art project depicts Book of John Submitted by Bethany College Staff

Bethany College, Hepburn

First-year students in the “Jesus and the Gospels” course, have a choice for their major assignment: write a research essay, or create a beautiful handwritten copy of one of the four gospels. This year, Prince Albert, SK, student Candace Bighead produced a gospel manuscript that was simply outstanding. Candace, who was often seen around campus sketching and doodling, illustrated a copy of the Gospel of John with over 80 drawings to illuminate the life of Christ. Most drawings are coloured with pencil crayon, and many are embellished with the thick textures of window paint, often to portray glistening water, wine, or blood. Some of the drawings are more abstract, evoking the theological symbolism of John. The gospel itself, all 21 chapters, is copied in a very even calligraphic script. Candace had this to say about the process of writing out this manuscript: “My manuscript is my prayer journal. I have prayed, reflected, bled, and cried throughout writing and creating it. Drawing the whip marks and the blood of Christ just seeped into my heart and mind.” For Candace, this was an amazing labour of love. After finishing, she estimated that she spent over 200 hours on this project. For her efforts, Candace received an Award of Excellence, presented at the yearend graduation ceremonies.

Collisions, thefts, plus incidents in wake of Warman Rodeo keep Mounties busy Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

HIGHWAY 16 COLLISION On June 8 at 10:20 p.m. Warman RCMP responded to a 2 vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 16 and Dalmeny Road. A southbound Lexus car struck an eastbound Hyundai SUV. MD Ambulance attended and treated 3 patients for minor injuries. The driver of the Lexus was issued an offence ticket for a stop sign violation. COLLISION IN WARMAN On June 8 at 7:15 p.m. Warman RCMP attended at Central Street and 9th Avenue in Warman to a report of a 2 vehicle collision. Upon police arrival it was learned that the driver of a ½ ton pick-up truck rear-ended another pick-up truck that was turning left off of Central Street. The 73 year old male driver, a resident of the Dalmeny area, was issued a violation ticket for driving without due care and attention under the Traffic Safety Act. Both drivers sustained minor injuries, but did not require hospitalization. DOUBLE THE LEGAL LIMIT On June 11, at approximately 11:15 p.m., RCMP were patrolling in the area of Range Road 3094 near the Town of Asquith when a vehicle was observed turning off of the roadway and then turning it’s lights out. Police investigated the operator of the vehicle who displayed signs of impairment by alcohol. Further investigation revealed that the operator was also a suspended driver. The man was arrested and taken to a police detachment where he provided samples of his breath that were double the legal limit. A 57 year old man from Saskatoon has been charged with operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol in excess of the legal limit, driving while suspended and operating an unregistered motor vehicle. The vehicle, a 1986 Mercury Lynx, was seized for 30 days. The man was released to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon on August 8. MARTENSVILLE THEFT On June 8, sometime in the early morning hours, Warman RCMP received a complaint that a 2002 GMC Envoy had been stolen from the 100 block of Ewles Place in Martensville. The vehicle was recovered two days later by the Saskatoon Police Service inside the City of Saskatoon. No suspects have yet been identified in this incident. ASQUITH HIT AND RUN On June 10 at 7:45 a.m. Warman RCMP received a complaint from a resident on the 300 block of Miles Street of Asquith that his vehicle had been struck by another vehicle while parked in his driveway. The complainant advised police that a white Ford Crown Victoria, believed to be a former police vehicle, smashed into the rear of his car and then pulled away and left the scene. Police continue to investigate. If anyone knows the owner of the Crown Victoria, which is believed to have sustained some damage from the collision, they are asked to contact the Warman RCMP. OSLER VEHICLE STOLEN On June 10 at 2:00 p.m.

Warman RCMP received a complaint that a 1988 white Ford Mustang had been stolen from a car sales lot in Osler. The vehicle was at the lot for sale and had been stolen some time overnight. The Mustang is a 2 door, convertible with a Saskatchewan licence 435GEZ. Anyone with information about the location of the car or the identity of the culprit is asked to contact police.

CARS BROKEN INTO During the early morning hours of June 11, numerous parked cars were entered in Martensville. A variety of property was taken. Police received about ten complaints where cars had been entered and property taken, often the owners admitted that the vehicles were unlocked. Commonly stolen was loose change and sunglasses, but in one instance two sets of golf clubs were taken from the trunk of a vehicle. LANGHAM VEHICLE THEFT On June 13 two men attended at a residence in Langham to view a vehicle that was for private sale. The men took a red 1990 Plymouth Voyager van for a test drive and then returned to the complainant’s residence. The vehicle remained at the residence overnight, then the complainant noticed the vehicle was gone the following day. The complainant advised that the two men, one described as possibly East Indian, and the other as Oriental, purported to be from the Radisson area. The vehicle has a Saskatchewan licence plate, 475HZR attached to it. Anyone with information on the identity of the suspects or the location of the vehicle is asked to contact the Warman RCMP. CAR BREAK-INS During the early morning hours of June 14, Warman RCMP received numerous complaints that thieves had entered numerous parked cars in the Town of Warman and stole a variety of property contained in those vehicles. The thefts occurred on Brooklyn, Crystal, and Murray Crescents and Bilskie Drive. Many of the vehicles were unlocked and a variety of items including cash, valuables and purses had been left inside. In one instance a vehicle was stolen and taken from Brooklyn Crescent and then abandoned in the Warman Cemetery, where police located it, still running. Police continue to investigate these incidents and encourage anyone with any information that would assist in identifying the culprits to contact the RCMP. Police remind residents to lock their vehicles, do not leave the keys inside, and do not leave valuables inside, overnight. RURAL BREAK-IN On the 15 of June at 4:45 a.m., Warman RCMP received a complaint of a breakin to a garage at a rural resi-

dence in the RM of Vanscoy. Unknown person(s) entered the garage and took some property and a .22 calibre rifle. Police are investigating and seek public assistance in identifying the culprit(s) and the rifle. There have been similar occurrences in the RM of Vanscoy and the Town of Asquith. Area residents are reminded to lock their garages and to ensure that valuables are not left in plain view.

PUBLIC INTOXICATION On June 9, at 11:35 p.m., RCMP observed several males walking on the street near 6th Avenue and Central Street in Warman. There was some indication that the men had been drinking at the Warman Rodeo celebrations. One of the men demonstrated signs of intoxication. When investigated by police the man became belligerent with the officer and refused to provide assistance or information that would assist the officer in taking him to a suitable place to be cared for. The man was subsequently arrested for public intoxication and taken to police holding cells where he was held until he was sober. The 28 year old Martensville resident was issued a violation ticket for public intoxication. Another man, a 25 year old Saskatoon resident was arrested and charged for public intoxication and possession of open liquor. STREET FIGHT IN WARMAN On June 10, at 3:30 a.m., Warman RCMP were called to a disturbance on North Railway Street in Warman where several people had gathered after the Warman Rodeo Cabaret had let out. Witnesses reported several women fighting. Police attended and spoke to several people and determined that one woman had assaulted another woman and a man. A 25 year old female resident of Saskatoon was arrested and held in police custody overnight and released on two counts of assault the following day. Alcohol consumption appears to have been a factor in this incident. No one was injured and the accused was released to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon on July 25. HIGHWAY ALTERCATION On June 12 at 7:40 p.m. police received a call from a motorist on Highway 16 near Langham. The motorist reported seeing a man and a woman on the ground, on the shoulder of the highway, and possibly fighting. Police units attended and found a man on top of a woman and assaulting the woman. Police arrested the man for assault and determined that the couple were in a relationship. A 31 year old man from Saskatoon was arrested for assault and held in police custody until a court appearance the following morning in domestic violence court. The victim received minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.

Fundraising event aims to launch Ethiopian orphanage project By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Above: 10 year-old Tseganesh, 8-year old Misgana and 12 year-old Tesute are thrilled to help their mom & dad fundraise for the 2,000 sq. ft. orphanage in their homeland. Right: A photo of the three siblings prior to being separated in Ethiopia.

ith an estimated 4.6 million orphan children in Ethiopia currently facing an uncertain future, the poverty-stricken African nation desperately needs orphanages that provide love, care, food and shelter to homeless youngsters. The United Nations estimates that 13 per cent of Ethiopian children are missing one or both parents as a result of war, disease, and famine. Many of those youngsters are exposed to various forms of exploitation, including sexual exploitation. It’s a serious situation, and one family from Warman is working to help bring about changes, one step at a time. Ryan Killoh and Treena Constantinoff recently adopted three children from Ethiopia, and are currently working to raise funds to build an orphanage in the children’s homeland. The Gedebo Project is a charitable organization whose mission is to build and sustain an orphanage to provide a safe and secure environment for the orphans of rural Ethiopia, so that they may reach their full potential and thrive. “Every child deserves a future,” said Ryan Killoh.

As part of that mission, the volunteers of the Gedebo Project want to build and maintain a 2,000 square-foot orphanage capable of housing up to 50 orphans. “We’’re looking to raise $150,000 this year to get the building completed,” said Killoh in an interview last week. “Once it’s up and running we’ll need to keep raising money in order to keep it going. This is a long-term commitment.” A complete outline of the orphanage project is available online at www.thegedeboproject.com . The Gedebo Project is holding a fundraising event on Saturday, July 7 at Tequila Nightclub in Saskatoon in an effort to kick start the funding drive. Entitled “Cocktails for a Cause”, the event features a dance, silent auction, door prizes and 50-50 draws, as well as a great evening of socializing and fun, said Killoh. Tickets are $30 and are available at Tequila nightclub. Killoh said he and his wife have developed a close relationship with the rural community in Ethiopia where their adopted children are from. The children include 12 year-old Tesute, 10 year-old Tseganesh, and 8-year old Misgana. All three children attend school in Warman.

“We travelled to Ethiopia and spent a great deal of time over there prior to adopting the children,” explained Killoh. “Our hearts went out to the people because of the hardships they face. The children in particular are hard hit. We adopted our children because we want to provide them with a better life. However, the rules have changed and international adoptions are much more difficult now than they were before.” Killoh added it is also very important that children be able to grow up in their home country and still have good opportunities and a good quality of life. “So that’s what we’re working toward now,” he said. “It’s not doing the country any good to keep shipping their young people off to different parts of the world. We understand that.” Killoh explained that the land where the orphanage will be built was gifted to the Gedebo Project by relatives of his adopted children. “In Ethiopia, if you own land and you don’t use it for some constructive purpose, the government will expropriate that land,” he explained. “We have one year left to get this building constructed and operating. We’re very committed to making this happen.”

Martensville Fire Department calls up so far in 2012 By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

o far this year, the Martensville Fire Department has responded to 185 calls, according to Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck. In an interview June 14, Dyck said the number of calls is “way up” from last year. “Most of those calls are medical calls,” Dyck explained. “Some are highway accidents. Others are First Responder-type medical calls within our community. With the amount of population growth we’re experiencing, the incidence of accidents just keeps going up.” In addition, more people

have alarm systems in their homes, which is a good thing, he noted. “More people have smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors, so when those alarms go off, we’re notified, he explained. “A lot of the calls are car accidents, because of the amount of traffic along Highway 12 and the high-volume intersections.” Dyck said the department is currently at 32 members, with ongoing training for five new recruits who joined last spring. “They should be getting their Level 1 and 2 certification this fall and winter,” he stated. “We’re a fairly large department, and right now we’re at full capacity.

Accuracy, caution essential in dealing with hazardous materials By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

hen the Martensville Fire Department’s pumper truck arrived on the scene of a training exercise a short distance north of Saskatoon last Friday morning, they found three ordinary-looking white five-gallon pails lying in the middle of the road. But two of the pails had spilled their contents over a portion of the roadway. The firefighters had no way of knowing if the pails contained potentially hazardous materials.

A boom was set up around a storm sewer outlet into the South Saskatchewan River near the 33rd Street CPR train bridge in Saskatoon last Friday to prevent the spread of a harmful substance into the river, which would affect downstream users. The contaminant material was apparently washed into the storm sewer by recent heavy rains. Emergency response personnel with the Sask Environment, Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services and Envirotech worked to clean up the contamination from the river.

Before long, two units belonging to Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services (SPFS) pulled up. One was a Dangerous Goods equipment truck and trailer, the other a decontamination unit trailer. Except for the lettering on the side, they would be indistinguishable from a thousand others of similar size. But each has a specially-equipped interior complete with equipment and materials that allow emergency response personnel to deal with everything from a smallscale incident to a full-blown disaster. The whole scenario was strictly for training purposes, something the SPFS does on a regular basis. The difference this time was that this was to be a joint training exercise between Saskatoon and Martensville Fire Departments – the first of its kind in the region. “This is a unified command dangerous goods training session,” explained Eron McCormick of SFPS, who is also a member of the Warman Fire Department. “In this scenario, the paid on-call guys from Martensville have the same authority we do. They’re the first to arrive, so their Chief, Kurtis Dyck, will become the overall Incident Commander. From there it depends on who has the technical equipment or the expertise to deal with the product we’re concerned about.” SFPS Captain Morgan Hackl assumed the role of Hazardous Materials Officer, while SPFS Captain Ken Pidgurski was the Entry Team Officer. One other officer was charged with coordinating the decontamination unit. Each unit was responsible for certain tasks. The chemicals first had to be identified, using a highly-specialized computer with access to an international database of hazardous materials, GPS and real-time mapping capabilities. Once the chemicals were accurately identified, a protective “hot zone” area had to be cordoned off. Depending on wind conditions and the chemicals

involved, the hot zone could extend up to 7 miles downwind and 3.5 miles on either side. In populated areas, evacuation measures may also be required. Specialized decontamination equipment, including showers and structures to capture the water and potential contaminants, had to be erected. “We’re running a unified command program because we have multiple agencies working together,” explained McCormick. “Whatever resources are needed will be brought in and we’ll all support each other. Since this is a training situation, it allows the people to learn more because they can stop when they need to and re-set things and talk about stuff. So this is really important.” McCormick said incidents involving dangerous goods happen frequently. “Someone may be driving along and a pail with chemicals falls out and they don’t notice,” he said. “It happens almost every day, but in a lot of cases you can’t just walk up and pick up the pail because it may be shocksensitive or corrosive or an inhalation hazard. If it’s anhydrous ammonia it just loves moisture and it will attack anyone it comes in contact with. So if you’re not careful then you’re suddenly a victim, and the firefighter can never be part of the problem. He or she always has to be part of the solution.” McCormick said people often don’t understand why it takes so long to deal with hazardous materials situations. “It’s like a hurry up and wait scenario,” he said. “But it’s critically important to make sure the people who are supposed to be helping don’t end up getting hurt. We have to be absolutely sure of what we’re dealing with, and we need to be very careful how we deal with it.” The Martensville firefighters were given the task Continued on Page 6 Please see HAZARDOUS

LED sign lights up the night Construction work progressing well on multi-purpose gymnasium side of recreation complex By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Gazette Cities Edition Photo | Terry Pugh

A new LED-technology sign has been installed outside the Legends Centre recreation complex in Warman. The sign is able to screen advertisements, including video commercials.

t’s going to be hard to miss the Legends Centre now. A brand-new electronic billboard sign was installed at the Centennial Boulevard entrance to the multi-purpose recreation complex on Monday, June 11. According to Heather Chatfield, Recreation Program Coordinator with the Town of Warman, the new energy-efficient sign features LED technology. “The sign not only gives a very visible identity to the new arena, it’s also aimed at keeping people informed about events, organizations and businesses in the community,” said Chatfield in an interview on Thursday, June 14. “It’s capable of projecting everything from a simple message, right up to full video commercials. Any business or non-profit group can advertise on the sign.” Chatfield said while these types of signs are common in Saskatoon, this is the first in Warman. And while there has been some debate in the larger centres about the potential distractions this type of sign poses to traffic, Chatfield said that shouldn’t be a problem along that stretch of Centennial Boulevard at this time. “It does seem pretty bright at night, but it won’t stand out as much once the new streetlights are installed along that stretch of road later this summer,” she pointed out. “It’s also taken a little while to adjust the brightness of the lights on the sign itself.” Chatfield said when the sign was first turned on Monday night, June 11, there were a few complaints from residents in nearby neighbourhoods. “I didn’t realize how powerful those lights are,” she said. “But once we figured out how to adjust the settings, it’s fine. We also had to figure out how to adjust the resolution of the screen, because the objective is to be able to read the sign from a considerable distance.” Chatfield said the town also turns the sign off between 11:30 at night and 6:00 in the morning. Other exterior improvements to the recreation complex include upgrading the parking lot. The town plans on applying a gravel surface to the arena parking lot this summer, with a paved strip along the entrances to the building. CONSTRUCTION ON TRACK While the entrance sign is the most visible improvement to the Legends Centre, Chat-

field said construction work is progressing steadily on the interior of the building. “We’re pretty much 100 per cent complete on the arena side,” she explained. “The multi-purpose rooms on the second floor are now available for rent. Any user group can contact the town to arrange for rental by the day or by the hour.” She said a fitness centre in the Legends Centre will be opening up in the fall. The operator of the 24-hour business, to be known as “Anytime Fitness” is Orlando Hamm, who grew up in Warman. Other facilities that are still available for lease include the kitchen and concession, the skate-sharpening room, and the healthservices area. Construction work is progressing on the multi-purpose gymnasium side, on the south end of the building, explained Chatfield. “We’re working to have the west half of the area completed by this fall,” she said. “The east side will be connected to the Middle Years School, so it can’t be completed until later since there will be heavy equipment working in that area.” She said getting the gymnasium side operational is a priority. “We’re working on getting the panels up around the walls on the outside, getting the change rooms completed, and installing the flooring,” she said. “These should be completed by this fall, although we don’t have exact date yet.” The gymnasium, which will allow a variety of sports including indoor soccer, basketball and volleyball, will also have secondfloor seating for spectators. Chatfield said the opening for the gymnasium side is complicated because the air exchange units, which are to be installed in the Middle Years School, have to be in place before the gym can be functional. “Hopefully the school construction will be advanced enough that the air exchange units will be in place when we need them,” she said. She said the arena side of the building is open through the summer, and while people can view the progress of the construction through the plate glass windows separating the two halves of the building, they are not allowed into the actual construction area. Chatfield said the ice should be in place for the fall by August 15.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Gazette Cities Edition Photo | Terry Pugh

With an ever-increasing quantity of hazardous materials travelling through the region on trains and transport trucks, there is a growing move by protective services agencies in Saskatoon and surrounding communities to prepare for emergencies by holding joint training exercises. The first of these was held last Friday between Martensville and Saskatoon.

of performing baseline medical tests on the SPFS personnel who would be donning specialized protective suits to enter the “hot zone”. In addition, the Martensville firefighters were also working to determine the extent of the hot zone. “We’re setting up the perimeter,” explained Captain Gary David of the Martensville Fire Department during the training exercise. “The wind right now is out of the north-northeast, and according to the specifications we’ve been given, the initial isolation area is going to be 60 meters in all directions from the chemicals. We’re also going 500 meters downwind of the chemicals, so that extends over the northbound lane of Highway 12 and then we have 250 meters on either side, and then we make a box – that’s our downwind protection area. If this was a real incident, we would have RCMP out there stopping traffic and redirecting vehicles. Anyone inside that hot zone would be loud-hailed and directed to the decontamination area.” David said with hazardous materials, the sooner the incident gets reported the better. “If you can narrow the area of release and the time involved, you can limit the potential hazards,” he said. While a science officer worked with the specialized computer to determine the specifics of the chemicals involved, other personnel were suiting up in airtight decontamination outfits with oxygen masks and air tanks. McCormick noted that once rescue personnel enter the hot zone, they can only remain there for 20 minutes before they have to exit and go through decon-

tamination procedures. “The tanks are supposedly good for an hour,” he said. “But it takes 20 minutes to go through decontamination, and if you’re working hard and sweating, you’re using more air, so that only leaves a 20 minute cushion.” The decontamination unit trailer can be set up to enable dozens or hundreds of people to shower in a short period of time if necessary, said McCormick. He said the program and equipment is the result of years of planning and tries to take into account every conceivable situation. While the training exercise was going on, SPFS responded to a hazardous material incident in Saskatoon. A significant volume of asphalt sealant material which had been used to repair a roadway in Saskatoon had been inappropriately stored or left behind, and because of the recent heavy rains, much of it had drained into the city’s storm sewer system. The chemicals were pouring out of the storm sewer release into the South Saskatchewan River at the railway bridge at 33rd Street. SFPS personnel set up a boom and a series of specialized screens extending to the river bottom near the storm sewer release to capture the chemical.

The discovery of a suspicious object in the Warman Cemetery on Tuesday morning, June 19, prompted a call to the Warman RCMP detachment. After an initial investigation by RCMP officers, the provincial police bomb squad, based in Regina, was dispatched to the scene. The object in question, found by Warman Bylaw Officer Wade Eberle, was a metal cylinder. The bomb squad arrived at the Warman Cemetery in a specially-equipped truck about 3:30 p.m.. According to one of the members of the bomb squad, the cylinder turned out to be harmless, and was likely a remnant of a concrete grave marker. According to RCMP Constable Neil Gillis, the decision to treat the cylinder as suspicious was the correct one. “Anytime you find anything like that which is out of place, especially if it’s a long tube that may be filled with an unknown substance, it’s best to call the police,” said Gillis.

Highway construction going full tilt Construction crews are ramping up repairs and new construction work on several new highway projects this week in Saskatchewan. The wide range of projects includes a $13 million dollar paving project on Highway 4 north of Glaslyn, twinning of Highway 11, a $15.7 million dollar paving project south of St. Brieux and building a new bridge over the Qu’Appelle River on Highway 6. These are among more than $279 million worth of highway work in Saskatchewan this week. “Efficient transportation

corridors are vital to our province’s continued economic development,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “This is why our government has committed to investing a further $2.2 billion dollars into our province’s highways this term.” Other new work expected to be underway for this week includes crack sealing on Highway 5 between Watson and Englefeld, surfacing on Highway 2 near Weyakwin, culvert work and repairs on Highway 10 near Balcarres, surfacing work on the Laird Access Road and patching be-

tween Dinsmore and Elrose on Highway 44. The weekly construction update is posted to the Highway Hotline Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline and Tweeted @SKGovHwyHotline.
