Bakker ponders run for Dalmeny mayor’s chair By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Nick Bakker, a resident of Dalmeny and a former Chief of Police with the Dalmeny Police Service, is considering a possible run for the Mayor’s chair in the upcoming municipal election October 24. But so far, he has not yet made a final decision. “Several people have approached me and expressed an interest in my running for Mayor of Dalmeny,” said Bakker in a phone interview on Thursday, July 26. “But at the present time I’m undecided.” Bakker noted that the current Mayor of Dalmeny, Allan Earle, “has done an outstanding job during his term in office.” Earle, who also serves as President of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) is currently battling cancer, and is taking treatments for the disease. It is not known if Earle will be seeking re-election. “We are all hoping that Allan makes a full recovery as soon as possible,” said Bakker. “He’s a great guy and he’s done a wonderful job, and we’re all pulling for him.” Bakker said he will make an announcement on his intentions in the next few weeks. His decision will be based in part on whether Allan Earle decides to seek re-election. Bakker said he was approached to run for Mayor in 2005 when he retired as Chief of Police, but he opted to stay out of municipal politics at that time. Bakker went on to work for the City of Saskatoon in the municipal transit department, and is currently the Enforcement Coordinator for City Parking Services. During his tenure as Chief of Police in Dalmeny, Bakker was heavily involved in the life of his home community, and he says he welcomes the growth that is likely to happen once the Dalmeny Access Road is rebuilt to provincial highway standards. “Dalmeny is a growing community,” he noted. “We see a lot of different types of growth, and we need to be prepared to deal with that growth by ensuring we have the required infrastructure to handle it.” He said in his former role with the municipal police service, he was well aware of the background issues in the municipality.

Traffic signal installation underway Special cameras will prevent backups on nearby Highway 12 exit into city By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

artensville’s first traffic signal lights - at the intersection of Centennial Drive and Main Street - should be fully operational by the end of August or early September, according to Don Burfitt, the consultant hired by the City of Martensville to design and oversee the project. Installation of the traffic lights standards began on Wednesday, July 25. Over a two-day period, excavations were dug and concrete was poured to create the pilings needed to support the traffic light poles. Traffic on the heavily-used intersection was controlled by flagpersons during the two-day installation of the pilings July 25 and 26, as workers with 4-L Bobcatting and Excavating of Martensville took advantage of some dry weather to set the forms in the ground. “The first phase of the project is putting in the pole bases,” said Burfitt, a consultant from Medicine Hat, Alberta. “Over the next ten days we’ll have the underground contractor, Clark’s Trenching, put the underground ducting in for the wiring, and then three weeks after that we’ll set the poles on the bases.” Burfitt said the concrete bases need at least three and a half weeks to properly cure so that they can bear the weight of the traffic light poles. “By the end of August, if the weather cooperates, we hope to have the traffic signals up and running,” he said. Burfitt said the big challenge facing contractors is the excessive amount of moisture in the ground at the intersection. “Everything needs to be set properly,” he said. “It’s important to have the concrete bases very exact.” The decision to install traffic signals at the intersection was made by the Martensville City Council earlier this year, and the contract was awarded to D.G. Burfitt Consulting to oversee the installation after a bidding process was held. Burfitt’s company also has traffic control contracts with the City of North Battleford, The City of Humboldt and other communities in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Burfitt worked for many years with the City of Saskatoon in

Don Burfitt (second from left) consults with workers from 4-L Bobcatting and Excavating of Martensville during the installation of concrete bases for traffic signal poles at the intersection of Centennial Drive and Main Street traffic control before starting his own consulting firm. LEFT TURN SIGNAL Burfitt said the traffic lights will have one left-turn signal for eastbound traffic entering Martensville from Highway 12. “The left-turn signal is necessary to accommodate the huge amount of commuter traffic exiting the highway in the late afternoon,” said Burfitt. “There is quite a demand for eastbound left-turns at that intersection, and we can’t have the traffic backing up onto the exit ramp and the main highway.” Burfitt said there will be digital cameras installed to detect the amount of traffic on the exit ramp. The camera will be able to detect vehicles up to a distance of about 200 meters. “If traffic backs up it will trigger a special timing phase on the signal to keep the traffic moving and prevent any backups onto the highway,” he said. Burfitt noted there were several traffic counts done over the last few months to determine the optimum signal light patterns. “The morning traffic is really not

as big a problem because of the short distance between the two highway ramps,” he said. “The traffic is stop and go as vehicles turn left onto the southbound lanes of Highway 12, and it tends to keep moving pretty well.” He said there is a likelihood the traffic signals will flash a four-way red to maintain the current stopand-go pattern. “We haven’t set the final timing pattern yet, but I can visualize having these signals flash red in all directions until about 9 o’clock in the morning when the rush hour is over,” he said. “Currently everybody treats it as a four-way stop, and the main flow of traffic, especially with the Tim Hortons, is for right-hand turns into the intersection from south-bound traffic.” Burfitt conceded the 100 meters between Centennial Drive and Highway 12 is a busy and crowded stretch of road, but said the traffic signals should help alleviate the problems at the intersection itself. ACTUATED SIGNALS Burfitt said because of the variable nature of the traffic patterns throughout the day, the traffic signals will be actuated by the presence

of vehicles at the intersection. In the case of north-south traffic on Centennial Drive, the presence of even a single vehicle will cause an alert to be sent to the traffic signals. “Normally, depending on the time of day, the lights will usually be green for east-west traffic, unless there is some demand from northsouth traffic,” he said. “It will be traffic responsive. It only takes one vehicle to alert the signal.” Burfitt said the decision by Martensville city council to install the traffic lights was a good one. “It’s a safety issue,” he said. “Clearly the safety of the citizens is what the council was worried about. Not just motorists, but also pedestrians. There is an increasing amount of pedestrian traffic at that intersection because of the Tim Hortons restaurant on the west side of Centennial Drive.” Burfitt said there will be a couple more traffic counts done to monitor the patterns over the summer before the final timing of the lights is set. The traffic lights will also have the capacity to add more left-turn signals in the future if they are merited by traffic counts and patterns.

Police warning retailers of distraction thefts The Saskatoon Police Service wishes to advise the public and business owners of incidents which have taken place both in Edmonton and Regina recently involving theft from retail businesses. Distraction theft is a crime committed using two or more people. Typically one or more thieves distract the victim or store employees while the others steal items like jewelry or cash. The thefts have occurred in Regina early this week and in Edmonton in June. They are believed to have been committed by the same group of suspects; two males and two females. Investigators believe the group is traveling in Western Canada and want to raise awareness in Saskatoon. The females are described as being of First Nations descent with the first being 5’4” in height, with brown eyes, shoulder length brown hair, wearing a yellow jacket and a white shirt, with an expensive looking ring on her finger. The second female is 5’1” in height with a stocky build, medium brown hair, a round face and dark eyes. The first male suspect is described as be-

Province remains on track with balanced budget The First Quarter Financial Report released Friday by Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Ken Krawetz shows that Saskatchewan remains on track to have the only provincial balanced budget in Canada in 2012-13. A weak global economic recovery has fuelled volatility in commodity markets, reducing non-renewable resource revenue. Overall, revenue is forecast to be down $113.2 million from budget, largely due to reduced revenue projections from oil and Crown land sales. “While resource revenue can fluctuate over the course of an entire year, the overall strength of our economy coupled with our government’s commitment to sound fiscal management will ensure a balanced budget for the people of Saskatchewan,” Krawetz said. To offset reduced revenues, the pre-transfer surplus will be reduced to $11.8 million and ministries will manage their expenditures to ensure efficiencies and savings are captured. The government is looking to reduce spending by about $55 million - or about one-half of one per cent of overall government expenditures through efficiencies and expense management within ministries. “Our economy remains the envy of many other jurisdictions,” Krawetz said. “Maintaining a balanced budget is a big part of the Saskatchewan Advantage, and we’re committed to keeping our province on solid financial ground throughout 2012-13 and beyond.”

The 60-year old Bakker said he has a lot of knowledge about the community and also understands the importance of teamwork on a council. “If you know the past history of a community, it helps you focus on the direction for the future,” he said. Bakker said many of the people who were children when he started as a police officer in Dalmeny have grown to become young adults with families of their own. “These are the people we see who are moving back to the community,” he said. “It’s very encouraging to see.”

Fifth straight NASCAR victory for Kennington at ACMS

SASK VALLEY

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

Another city, another NASCAR Canadian Tire Series checkered flag for D.J. Kennington. The native of St. Thomas, Ontario climbed from the fifth position at the green flag to capture his series leading 16th career victory at the Bayer Crop Science Velocity Prairie Thunder race held July 25 at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon. His first place finish also extended the 35-year-old’s record for consecutive series wins to five. Kennington said the win was a lot of hard work. “J. R. Fitzpatrick and Mark Dilley are class acts. Either one of them could have knocked me out of the way and they didn’t.” A driver since he was four-years-old when he began racing go-karts, it’s clear Kennington’s hard work on race day and over the years has paid off. Kennington and Steckly exchanged the lead several times, also giving it up to J. R. Fitzpatrick and Jason Hathaway. In the end it was Mark Dilley who took second place, with Fitzpatrick and Steckly in the third and fourth spots, respectively. There was plenty of excitement on the oval track through 250 laps. Six cautions were issued to slow the action. Kennington said that over his career he’s been upside down a couple of times, but “any driver’s biggest fear is fire. Drivers wear three layer fire suits, boots, helmets, gloves and so on, but it still can get hot in a hurry.” Fortunately, the race ended with no major mishaps. While fans were having autographs signed by drivers prior to the race, Nathan Weenk, driving for the Saskatoon-based Mid West racing team, predicted that while anyone could win the race there were a couple of standouts. “These days it’s Car #22 driven by Scott Steckly and Car #17 driven by D. J. Kennington,” he said prior to the roaring flyby of a CF18 fighter jet signalling the start of the race. The huge crowd gasped appreciatively as the jet did a second spectacular flyby, but nothing compares to the roar of precisely tuned race cars as drivers rev their engines wait-

Kennington was busy signing autographs for race fans prior to taking home his 16th career NASCAR Canadian Tire Series checkered flag at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway on July 25 ing to get on the track. Dan Shirley of Saskatoon, driving for the Saskatoon Coop, finished in 14th spot, was disappointed in qualifying 13th. “It’s not up to our standard, but we’re gonna do the best we can.” Following the race Shirley noted, “We had a real tough day. After about the second or third restart we got some misinformation about who we were supposed to restart behind so we went with what we thought and it wasn’t right and we restarted behind the wrong guy. So we took a penalty for that and went down laps there. But at least it’s coming home in one piece and we’ve got something to work on.” Shirley was also without radio communication for the last 30 or 40 laps. Shirley’s son Matthew is a racer as well. He’s got four years of go-kart racing under his belt and Dan says he’s learned a lot in terms of technique. Matthew is a member of Dan’s pit crew along with Dan’s father Mike who has been with him since his second race. Rookie Jason Hankewich of Kindersley placed 17th after

starting the race in the 21st position and was pleased to be in his first real NASCAR race that he could actually finish. “A lot of rookies have trouble finishing. We started in Vernon but had a lot of car trouble so we only made 80 laps there, so we got’er together for this race.” Part of Hankewich’s success had to do with loosening the car up early on. The crew found the car had too much push in the front end and made some adjustments. Hankewich and his team are looking to line up a sponsor and hopefully go fulltime next year. Weenk, who had some impressive numbers in prac-

tice sessions and qualified in the 4th spot, was hoping for a better finish than 18th. He pointed to a few small hiccups throughout the day that affected him. “Each race is another learning curve. We thought we were prepared but we should have been more prepared and that includes the driver.” Weenk mentioned focus, concentration and communication as areas to work on. “It’s racing, you gotta learn from it, hold your head up, and go on to the next one.” Weenk’s next NASCAR race may be this time next year.

Wall continues to walk in the sunshine

C O M M E N T A R Y

MP pensions: $24 to $1

This may be Saskatchewan’s summer of the storm, but Premier Brad Wall still seems to be enjoying the sunshine. Closing in on five years in power – a time governments tend to run into trouble – there isn’t much to indicate that Wall’s popularity is clouding over. So what’s the secret to his success? Well, it appears to be a number of factors. Let is explore today. First and foremost is the on-going economic success. Sure, the big contracts handed out to favoured health care unions like the nurses and the unprecedented infrastructure spending is catching up to Saskatchewan’s budget and 2012-13 may be problematic with oil below predictions and slumming potash sales. But contrary to the insistence of some NDP leadership hopefuls, jobs are up – including in construction, Certainly, the province’s four biggest cities plus Yorkton, Estevan, Weyburn don’t seem to be seeing any economic slowdown. It also helps that this hot, humid – and, yes, occasionally stormy – summer seems to be producing a better-than-average crop. Saskatchewan may be an oil/potash province, but nothing is better for the economy and the provincial psyche than a good crop. Admittedly, lay-offs of recently imported Irish workers in the potash mine construction do not boded well for our economic direction. Nor is doing much to enhance Wall’s credibility, given his handson involvement in recruiting

After just six years of service, MPs are eligible to receive one of the richest pensions in the country, and taxpayers are paying for it. Taxpayers contribute $24.36 for every $1 contributed by an MP into an MP’s pension account. How is that possible? Unlike normal pension plans, the MP pension fund is not actually invested into the market. By cabinet order, the fund is simply credited with 10.4% annual interest, courtesy of taxpayers. So generous is the MP Pension Plan that it is not even legal under the Income Tax Act which mandates that no registered pension plan can exceed an accrual rate of 2% of salary for each year worked. (MPs have rigged up two funds to get around the law). In 2010-2011, all sitting MPs and Senators contributed a combined $4.5 million towards their pension fund. Between official contributions and ‘interest’ payments, taxpayers put in $110.7 million. This needs to change. Visit www.taxpayer. com to sign the petition and help us put an end to MP’s gold plated pensions. • Canadian Taxpayers Association

I think the angels have been working overtime at the intersection of Highway 11 and 305 in the last many years. At some point we need to take some responsibility and put some safety plans into place. I know there are long term plans for this traffic corner but that is several years in the future. I have seen so many close calls, almost daily; I have also seen some serious accidents as I did today (August 2). It’s a crazy dangerous intersection as cars at the yield sign in the middle of the road play chicken with cars at a stop sign.

workers. And messing with the province’s successful immigration program that was just starting to pay dividends wasn’t a particularly wise choice. However, Brad Wall has not made all that many unwise choices, which has been another key to his success. Sure, the silly $2-billion potash revenue projections in 2009 and the troubling projections this year were unwise budgeting. We continue to spend more than we should. There may yet be consequences to things like building a new stadium. But Saskatchewan budgets have been closer to being balanced than in other provinces, suggesting that Wall’s mistakes have so far been affordable ones. And excluding the debacle involving the Carlton Trail-St. Peter’s College merger and the late MLA Serge LeClerc, there hasn’t been a whole lot of political embarrassment emerging from his government. Voters can be exceedingly forgiving under such circumstances. Third, while Wall and his Sask. Party government do seem to be led around by the nose by the potash and oil industries, the Premier has astutely figured out that this province is now testing its free-enterprise wings. (It has also helped immensely, that

ly astute than his NDP predecessors. We are seeing improvements in wait list times from a conservative premier who isn’t supposed to understand public health care. The working poor have benefited from income tax changes and seniors have benefited from ongoing low prescription drugs. And this government’s efforts to assist the disabled are truly worth the accolades they have received. Add to this the fact that the NDP and Liberals aren’t really providing voters with viable alternatives and it means one thing: Even as some storm clouds mount, the sun still seems to be shining on Brad Wall.

Wall didn’t have to change the potash and oil royalty policies from the previous NDP government that paved the way for these recent expansions. Evidently, the NDP also figured out, before it left office, that the resource engine was the driving the Saskatchewan economy.) Yes, Wall has taken it a step further to the right by going after the unions – both in the public and private sector – through legislative changes. But given that most people don’t work in a union shop and aren’t necessarily affected by labour law changes, that was mostly proven to be a politically astute move. Or at the very least, Wall is proving to be more political-

in a very bad financial position due to mismanagement over the past years. This is blatantly false. It is understandable the Reeve cannot interpret a financial statement, but surely he should seek the advice of the municipal auditors before making such a statement. If taxpayers have the opportunity to review the 2011 financial statement (page 25) they will find that the Net Unappropriated/Appropriated Reserves amount to $4,239,687. In the year 2011 revenues exceeded expenditures yielding a surplus $936,040 (Page 4). Pretty good I would say. The municipality has an insignificant amount of long term debt and its Capital Assets (land, building, equipment) are paid for.

tions taken in 2011 regarding dismissals of staff without cause and pending legal fees which could be very substantial, payable in 2012. These wasted monies could have been directed towards road gravelling and road maintenance which no doubt require extra attention due to flooding conditions last year and in 2012. The councils which I was fortunate to serve for 19 years, and the councils for the following 10 years, have maintained a very strong financial position which is of great assistance to the current council. It is able to utilize a portion of those reserves to somewhat cushion the increase in the mill rate that would otherwise be required for its 2012 budget. Fred Sutter, RMA/UMA Saskatoon

Take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses

CLEAR SAILING

GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY PUGH

Stephen Huszar heads out to the start line in his Laser class single-hander sailboat during the Saskatoon Sailing Club’s annual regatta at Redberry Lake in early July. The Saskatoon Sailing Club was formed in 1963 and has held an annual regatta at its clubsite on the east shore of Redberry Lake south of Krydor since 1965. The Laser is an Olympic class boat that was designed by a Canadian, Bruce Kirby, and is the most popular sailing dinghy in the world.

First human case of West Nile Virus detected in Sask. The first human case of West Nile Virus infection this season has been reported in Saskatchewan. The case occurred in an individual from Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region who experienced no symptoms. The infection was detected by Canadian Blood Services when the individual was donating blood. The recent hot, humid conditions throughout much of Saskatchewan have created the ideal conditions for the development of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes, the car-

rier of West Nile Virus. “Surveillance results show that Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are increasing slightly in some traps in southern Saskatchewan,” Provincial West Nile Virus Co-ordinator Phil Curry said. “We caution the public that these mosquitoes will continue to be active over the next few weeks and some could potentially be infected with the virus.” People are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves against mosqui-

toes bites, especially at dusk and dawn when Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are most active. “If you’re bitten by a West Nile Virus-infected mosquito, there is a small risk of serious neurological illness like inflammation of the brain and, in rare cases, death,” Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “People who develop severe symptoms such as unusually severe headaches or persistent high fever or confusion, need to seek medical attention immediately.”

With weather predictions for sustained temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius and high humidex, health officials are advising people to take precautions against heat exposure. “Heat exposure can lead to heat related illnesses which, in certain circumstances, can become a medical emergency,” Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Moira McKinnon said. “Signs and symptoms to watch for include dizziness or fainting, headache, nausea, rapid breathing or a rapid heartbeat and/or thirst. People with these symptoms have to move out of the heat into shade and drink cool water. “Heat-related illnesses such as ‘heat exhaustion’ occur when a person cannot transfer enough heat away from their bodies through sweating and blood flow to the skin. People who work outdoors or exercise regularly in the heat are at greater risk of heat exposure. Infants and younger children, elder-

ly, obese persons and persons with chronic diseases are also vulnerable since their bodies do not transfer heat as effectively. Heat stroke is a severe form of heat exhaustion. “Heat stroke is a life-threatening medical condition. If you have stopped sweating, have a headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea and red, hot, dry skin, you should seek immediate medical attention,” Dr. McKinnon said. “If a person is unconscious, that person needs to be moved to a cooler area and the body temperature reduced by using cool water or fanning, and 9-1-1 should be called.” People living in non-air conditioned homes should open their windows at night and close the windows and blinds early in the morning to maintain a cooler environment. At night, use a fan in or near a window to blow heat from the house and draw cooler air in from other windows.

Heat-related illnesses can be prevented by keeping the body cool and by avoiding dehydration in hot environments:

• Drink plenty of water. • Avoid strenuous activity in hot, humid weather or during the hottest part of the day (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). • When outside, wear light-coloured, lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a hat, preferably with a wide brim. • Take frequent breaks in the shade, visit a mall or other air conditioned facility to cool down. • Cool yourself off by taking a cool shower, bath or sponge bath. • Avoid consumption of coffee, colas, and alcohol as they tend to dehydrate the body.

Fundraiser planned for Warman family To help see a Warman family through the next couple of months while they recover from their respective surgeries, community members have planned a fundraiser for this Sunday. Sandy Lockhart will be off her feet for approximately six weeks starting in September as she will be undergoing a kidney transplant in Vancouver. But, in a vastly generous way of paying it forward, Lockhart’s husband Fred will be headed east to Winnipeg to donate a kidney to a recipient there. The Winnipeg recipient has a family member who will also be donating so, in total, three couples will be undergoing surgery. For the Lockharts, though, it means at least six weeks with no income. The provincial ministry of health covers the medical costs incurred with the surgeries but expenses such as mortgage payments, utility bills and travel for the Lockhart children to be with their parents are not – hence the effort to raise funds. Volunteer organizers have put together A Chili Day in August at Lions Park to raise money for the Lockhart family. For five dollars per person, the public is invited to enjoy a bowl of chili and a bun along with dessert. In addition to visiting and fellowship, organizers also plan to set-up an inflatable kids castle as well as offering face painting and some games plus a silent auction. The event runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Martensville beauty finishes as second runner-up at Miss Teen Canada By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@gmail.com

Becoming Miss Teen Sas-

katchewan World-2012 at the provincial pageant in March this year was thrilling enough for newly 19 year old Savanagh Walker. The Martensville resident had been doing some modeling for SHE Modeling of Saskatoon and her agent thought it would be a good idea to do something that showcased more of her personality and stage presence. So Savanagh entered the contest only six weeks before the pageant and won it. This made her a natural choice to enter the Miss Teen Canada Pageant, which she did. More honours awaited Savanagh in Toronto where the Miss Teen Canada pageant including preliminaries ran from July 14-22. She was thrilled to win the swimsuit competition and finish in the amazing position of second runner-up. “When I made top twenty, I thought, I’d really like to make top ten, but hey I just made top 20 so that’s pretty great for Saskatchewan,” says Walker. The top 20 out of sixty-two contestants were announced in the first ten minutes of the show, based on preliminary qualifying results. “And then I made top ten,” Savanagh continues, “and I was like, wow this is amazing. I can’t believe I made top ten and you know I’m good right here, I did a good job, I got to show my evening gown, I’m happy if I don’t get top five. And then I got top five and I was like, oh my gosh, I’m good right here. I thought that was pretty sweet. And then to be third, that’s amazing.” Waiting for each announcement of who made the cuts was especially nerve wracking because Savannah was number 61 out of 62 girls. They called everything in order by each girl’s number, so she was always the last to find out if she made the cut. As a young girl, Savanagh always loved fashion and sketched her own designs. From very young on she loved to watch fashion TV and look at fashion magazines just to

see the outfits. “I have always dreamed of being in those big magazines, wearing those amazing outfits. But it was always just a dream, I never had enough confidence in myself and with my body image to believe I could actually do it.” With these successes, and with the encouragement of family, friends and even complete strangers, that has changed. The moment Walker was accepted into the Miss Teen Saskatchewan Pageant she was plunged into a whirlwind of activity. There were some firsts, like getting gel nails. Then there was the hunt for outfits, gowns and accessories. Savanagh found there wasn’t much available in size zero in Saskatchewan. When she did find something in size zero, often it had to be taken in. Savanagh had to juggle her preparations for the pageant with being a university student and having a job. She has completed one year at the University of Saskatchewan and hopes to get into Veterinary Medicine. She works at the University Dairy Barn and at the Alley Holsteins Dairy Barn. She also volunteers at the Western Veterinary Medical Centre ICU. Walker worked hard, together with family and friends, on fundraisers for the Miss Teen Canada $3,000 entry fee and to outfit herself. Finding sponsors was a bit easier once she had the title of Miss Teen Saskatchewan. Slinging fifty pound bags of grain and supplies every day at work certainly didn’t hurt her chances in Toronto. Walker is proud of her eightpack and toned triceps. The swimsuit competition is about your walk, your poise, and basically who has the best body. Walker says, “I’m not saying I have the best body. But the judges thought I did.” Being Miss Teen Swimsuit 2012 gives her a second title to add to her resume. Savanagh was selected for several other special opportunities in Toronto. On Sunday’s photo shoot each girl sat for a photo video where the judges got to see how they performed

on camera. Woody Michleb, the top hair stylist in Toronto was there with a team. Savanagh said, “I felt very lucky to have Woody personally do my styling.” The videos of the top ten girls from this shoot were shown at the pageant. On July 16, Savanagh was one of four girls chosen out of all sixty-two to participate in a workout for Extreme Fitness,

a leading health club in Toronto. She says it’s the most intense workout she’s ever done. “I was very lucky to be chosen for that.” The thirty minute routine was video-taped and segments were aired on Toronto’s Cityline TV. All contestants appeared on Breakfast TV in Toronto the next day. Pageant contestants were also judged on their social me-

dia skills, including blogging, as well as their commitment to doing events, volunteering, and promoting their platforms. Walker believes in respect. “My platform is based on building self-respect in our young women so that in turn others will respect them. This is really important to me beContinued on Page 10 Please see SAVANAGH WALKER

the coming year. Savanagh is looking at doing international modeling and pageants in this year off. “I know I can do really well in modeling and in pageants and I love it so much.” She is considering moving to Toronto in September. “I’ve always been about school. A lot of people that know me well were very shocked to hear that I was taking a year off to pursue other dreams. But they were totally supportive. And I don’t mind if I’m graduating university when I’m twenty-eight or thirty-five.” Savanagh enjoys the balance between glamming up and working in a dairy (there’s nothing like gel nails for picking cow pies, but gloves are

recommended). As a hopeful future veterinarian, Savanagh wants to specialize in exotics, large animals, and small animal surgery. “I want to open up my own practice, I want to have something to do until I’m seventy years old.” In Martensville, June 2, 2012 was officially declared Savanagh Walker Day, Miss Teen Saskatchewan World-2012.

Small Business Loans Association offers option for local firms By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

mall businesses in Warman now have another option when it comes to obtaining loans for startup and expansion purposes. The Warman Small Business Loans Association (WSBLA) was recently approved as a loan-granting agency by Enterprise Saskatchewan. Sarah King, Economic Development Officer for the Town of Warman, says the municipally-operated agency aims to provide benefits to both small businesses in Warman, and the community as a whole. The WSBLA is one of several community-run associations that have been set up across Saskatchewan by Enterprise Saskatchewan. The Small Business Loans Association (SBLA) program makes funds available to entrepreneurs. Recently, Enterprise Saskatchewan raised the loan limit of its SBLA program. New and existing businesses that may have difficulty accessing traditional financing can now borrow up to $20,000 from their local SBLA. King said the loans are repayable over a period of 3 to 5 years. The loan principal is repaid to Enterprise Saskatchewan, while the interest generated by the loan can be used by the Town of Warman for specific projects that directly benefit the community as a whole. “We have been authorized to lend a maximum of $200,000 under the program,” said King in an interview July 25. “That is the cumulative total. However, each individual loan cannot exceed $20,000, and the interest rate on each loan is reviewed annually by the WSBLA committee.” The interest rate cannot exceed 10 per cent, and King said the current rate on loans offered by the WSBLA is 5 per cent. The WSBLA consists of a board of directors including King, who acts as the administrator, and members of town council who are on the Warman Economic Development Committee, as well as the municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer, Ivan Gabrysh. King said small businesses may make application for loans at any time during the year. The business must submit a business plan, a statement of earnings or projection of earnings. If a recommendation is made for a loan, the application is forwarded to Enterprise Saskatchewan for final approval. King said the process may take several months, but the checks and balances are necessary to ensure the integrity of the program. “It’s a good program for Warman because the interest that is generated goes directly into our community,” she said. “And it represents an attractive option for small businesses in our community.”

SIBLING RIVALRY

Josh Reid of the Warman Gems (right) plays first base while his younger brother Cole Reid of the Bruno Merchants leads off in preparation for stealing second base. Meanwhile, Shane Reid (not pictured) of the Gems was playing second base. All three brothers grew up in Warman. The game, which the Merchants won by a wide margin, was a regular Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) league game played on Wednesday, July 25 at Gordie Howe Park in Saskatoon. The Bruno Mer-

chants captured the provincial Senior Men’s B Softball Championship during a tournament the previous weekend, defeating the Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs. The Gems, meanwhile, placed second in the provincial Senior Men’s C Softball championship, losing to the host Rhein Rockets. The Bruno Merchants and Delisle NL Diamond Dogs will both be heading to Abbotsford, BC this month to compete in the western Canadian championships.

Record setting month for Sask. building permits Saskatchewan building permits set a new record for June, according to a new report released this week by Statistics Canada. Building permits reached a value of $308 million in June, a 33.5 per cent increase over the figure for June 2011. This was the second highest increase among the

provinces and well above the national average of 3.2 per cent. “Construction sites are busy in all corners of the province, which is a testament to our strong and growing economy,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “As we continue to attract new families and businesses to Saskatchewan we expect to see this growth con-

tinue.” Non-residential construction was up 34.7 per cent compared to June 2011, while residential construction saw an increase of 32.7 per cent for this same period. “A busy construction sector means new opportunities for workers and businesses in our province,” Boyd said.

STARS begins night missions from Regina STARS air ambulance has started 24-hour-a-day operations at its Regina base. Until now, the STARS Regina base has only operated 12-hours per day from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Now that the majority of clinical and aviation staff have had time to become comfortable with the terrain and providing service in an air medical environment, the time is right to expand those hours. The organization began the new initiative on July 30. “Safety is our first priority,” says Ron Dufresne, vicepresident of Saskatchewan operations. “Our crew is now equipped with the knowledge, resources and technology to operate at night just as safely and effectively as they do during the day.” All STARS pilots are trained and certified in the use of night vision goggles, a technology that STARS began using in 2003. The goggles sig-

nificantly increase the ability to locate and reach patients at night. STARS is the only civilian helicopter air ambulance service in Canada to have a night vision goggle program. To support the 24-hour operation, four additional pilots were recruited and trained, along with eight additional flight paramedics and flight nurses. The helicopter crew on every mission includes two pilots, and a flight nurse and flight paramedic who both have critical care training. An emergency physician trained in pre-hospital care and transportation is also available for every emergency response and travels in the helicopter whenever medically necessary. The STARS base at the Regina International Airport is now equipped with crew quarters which provide washing, kitchen and sleeping facilities for the pilots and air medical crew.

Bethany College, Hepburn

he 2012 edition of Bethany Sports Camps (BSC) Volleyball Attack/Elite camp was an amazing experience for athletes and staff alike. Sixty four young men and women, ages 11 -17, participated in the five day camp. The theme of this year’s camp, “Live…Move…Be”, was taken from Acts 17:28. God’s presence was evident each day as campers were challenged, on and off of the Straight from the Eagles’ Nest

volleyball court, to do everything for His glory. When asked why Bethany Sports Camps were important to them, one athlete’s response was, “At the Attack/Elite camp, I can learn how to live out my passions of playing volleyball and serving God at the same time …how my faith can be part of everything I do.” Continued on Page 17 Please see “BETHANY VOLLEYBALL CAMP”

Participants in the Bethany College Volleyball camp (top) enjoy the summer sunshine on the grounds of Bethany College in Hepburn. Volleyball skills were honed both inside and outside during the camp, held for youth ages 11-17. (Photos submitted by Bethany College)

No joke, Riders victim of one-liners

It has been an agonizingly long time since we’ve heard from the Saskatchewan Roughriders. In fact when we last heard from the Green & White, they were trying their best to explain how they blew a massive fourth quarter lead for a secondstraight week and wound up with a loss. That was Saturday evening, July 28th, after the Hamilton Tiger-Cats came into Mosaic Stadium and roughed up the Riders and stole their lunch money. Since then, it would seem as though you could hear a pin drop around Mosaic Stadium/Taylor Field. Slotback Chris Getzlaf got out of Dodge and visited his brother at his Okanagan sanctuary. Fellow receiver Weston Dressler planned to make the short drive down to his hometown of Bismarck, ND. Others hung around the Queen City to make various player appearances and heal

up bumps and bruises. A summer holiday? During FOOTBALL season? Unheard of. But that’s the way it’s gone in this headscratcher of a 2012 CFL campaign. And maybe that’s what’s best for the Riders. When they left they didn’t seem to have the answer for what ails them. Maybe, with some time to cool off, they’ll have those answers now. The thing I get asked the most, by those outside our fine province, is ‘How’s the Rider Nation taking the slide?’. I’ve replied that while initially Rider fans were cheesed off at blowing

the games and squandering a chance to be 5-0, they’ve lightened up and turned to humour to deal with the situation. “What does it take to beat the Riders?” one guy asked me at the Buffalo Days fair in Regina this week. “Seven minutes!” And they didn’t stop there. “Don’t ask the Riders for change for a dollar,” another fair-goer cautioned. “They don’t have a fourth quarter!” You can bet the Saskatchewan Roughriders don’t like being a punchline. Things were rolling

along like a well-oiled, finely-tuned machine during the club’s 3-0 start. We were starting to track the meteoric rise of rookie head coach Corey Chamblin and where his perfect start ranked amongst modern era firstyear coaches (Ken Miller was 6-0 in 2008 and Kavis Reed 5-0 in 2011). Then the wheels fell off. A prolonged break during football season is as rare as a $3 bill, or a sighting of the Lochness Monster or the Sasquatch. But, as they say in football, “it is what it is”. We’ll find out soon if the Riders were able to find themselves during their absence. With upcoming road games against Edmonton and B.C. plus a home-andhome set with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on the horizon, very soon we’ll find out for ourselves exactly who the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.

BETHANY VOLLEYBALL CAMP Continued from Page 13

Campers spent up to six hours each day training their volleyball skills through practice and game sessions. The athletes and coaches all arrived at camp with a sense of expectation and enthusiasm for a great week and none were disappointed. Despite training through some incredibly hot and humid weather, the positive attitude and exceptional work ethic of the campers needs to be acknowledged. Every camper grew in their technical, physical and strategic components of the game of volleyball. “I learned more about playing volleyball in this one week than I had in my previous years of competing… thank you, coach!” was a comment overheard at the closing program.

One of the highlights of the week was “Coach’s Corner” just after lunch each day. During this time, coaches had the opportunity to share their own personal testimonies and faith stories. These stories told of how God called each one to Himself, carried them through peaks and valleys in their lives, and shared the mercy and grace He extends to each of us. The stories told, and life lessons learned by the coaches were then emphasized each evening during Chapel and Dorm Time where campers had the chance to consider their own relationship with Jesus Christ.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2012

RCMP issue fraud alert involving timeshares The Saskatchewan RCMP Commercial Crime Section is advising the public of fraud attempts occurring in Saskatchewan relating to timeshare vacation properties. Reports have been received from Saskatchewan residents who have received calls from timeshare resale companies who offer to sell their timeshare for them. In some cases, the consumer ad-

vertised their timeshare for sale on the internet. The suspect promises a quick sale with a high profit. Various fees are requested up front prior to the final sale for things such as maintenance fees, escrow fees or taxes. Documentation and correspondence with the victim is conducted on a professional level. The suspect provides the victim with official look-

ing documents which are detailed and may require a signature or witness. This approach is used to provide a level of authenticity to convince victims of the legitimacy of the company and transaction to be carried out. There are legitimate companies who offer this type of service but timeshare owners should do their homework before providing funds.

Truck towing fifth wheel trailer rolls near casino

It is important to remember that people can easily represent themselves as a legitimate company on the internet. Consumers are recommended to check the company on the Better Business Bureau website or to perform searches on the internet looking for any related complaints. For more on current scams visit rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ scams/index _ e.htm.

MD Ambulance paramedics responded to a rollover on Highway 219 - five miles north of Dakota Dunes Casino at 2:12 pm, Friday, August 3rd for an elderly male and female patient who were in a truck that rolled. The patient’s truck and fifth wheel trailer rolled on the highway and both the trailer and truck were upside down when paramedics arrived. The patients suffered minor injuries and were treated and released at the scene.
