According to Constable Craig Zwarych of the Warman RCMP detachment, the accident occurred shortly after 11:00 a.m. A south-bound two-door Pontiac coupe that was passing another vehicle on the curve attempted to get

back into the right hand lane but skidded on a patch of ice and hit the ditch before rolling over once and coming to rest on its wheels.

Fortunately for the two occupants, the vehicle narrowly missed a large sign. Both people in the vehicle were attended to by Warman Fire Department First Responders and RCMP. One woman was taken to hospital by MD Ambulance with undetermined injuries.

“They were lucky they escaped without more serious

Martensville adopts water management plan

But taxpayers urged to move to monthly payments in 2014

he City of Martensville has adopted a comprehensive strategy for managing its municipal water management system.

A “Water Operations Plan” aimed at ensuring high quality drinking water has been in the works for several months. The massive document was reviewed by the Martensville City Council at a December 11 “Committee of the Whole” meeting and formally adopted at a City Council meeting on December 18.

The plan pulls together many different components of the water quality system into a single document, according to Jake Doran, Project Manager with the City of Martensville.

PLAN NEEDED UPGRADING In a presentation to councilors at the December 11 meeting, Doran said the new plan was sparked by the need to update provincial water quality assurance reporting. The main objective, he said, is to ensure highquality drinking water throughout the system.

“This Water Operations Plan supports the overall goal of the City of Martensville to provide safe, cost-effective drinking wter,” said Doran, addding that the goal is to meet and exceed provincial drinking water quality control and emergency management requirements.

Preventing contamination of the water supply is a primary concern, noted Doran. The plan identifies and monitors any potential risks to water quality at all points in the water supply system, including treatment, storage and distribution. It also ensures sufficient funding is allocated for maintaining and improving the infrastructure, as well as for training of staff.

“Drinking water quality is one of the fundamentals of public health,” explained Doran in an interview in mid-December. “It all goes back to the experience of Walkerton, Ontario; and North Battleford; where drinking water sources were accidentally contaminated and the consequences were severe.”

Doran said the Martensville water operations plan is a set of “checks and balances” to “make sure nothing falls through the cracks” when it

www.warmandiagnostics.com roperty owners in the City of Warman will still306.933.4500 be able to take advantage of early payment discounts on the municipal portion of their property taxes for one more year.

Warman City Council voted at its meeting on December 17 to retain the discount incentive program for the 2013 taxation year.

Under the program, ratepayers who pay their property taxes in full by the end of June receive a 6 per cent discount. There is a 5 per cent discount on taxes paid by the end of July, 4 per cent by the end of August, 3 per cent by the end of September, 2 per cent by the end of October, and 1 per cent by the end of November. Discounts only apply on the current year’s tax levy. Penalties on tax arrears commence on January 1 the following year.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Jake Doran, Project Manager for the City of Martensville, drew on his experience in Ontario to draft the comprehensive water management plan. comes to quality control. “We have a system in place that meets or exceeds provincial guidelines,” he said. “But now it’s all down on paper and everyone understands how the system works and how they fit in.

They also understand their role if certain situations arise.”

ONTARIO EXPERIENCE Doran, who hails from Ontario, draws on a wealth of experience in municipal water management programs with the City of Stratford.

He notes that while regulations differ between Ontario and Saskatchewan, they both focus on the common goal of public health and safety.

While the water management plan overhaul took several weeks to complete, its implementation is only one of several priorities for the Cty of Martensville in the coming months.

Doran was brought on to the City of Martensville staff recently as Project Manager, a position designed to ensure ongoing projects in the municipality are completed on time and on budget.

Scott Blevins, Martensville City Manager said the Project Manager position was

set up as a one-year term position.

The position itself will be evaluated at the end of the year to determine if it will become permanent.

“It’s our goal as administration to make sure that we stay on top of things on a daily basis,” Blevins explained in a recent interview.

“The project manager is our go-to guy when it comes to making sure things stay on track. We have a lot of projects on the go all the timeeverything from recreation to public works to the new cemetery and our partnership with the school division. We don’t want things to fall through the cracks.”

Blevins said the water managent plan drawn up by Martensville can provide a blueprint for other municipalities in the region. Longterm plans by Martensville also include drafting a similar plan for wastewater management. That plan may be incorporated into a regional wastewater management plan if neighbouring municipalities are willing to help share the cost.

REVALUATION IN 2013 While the discount program will remain intact for the time being, it may not continue past the end of the year. Many cities across the province have already ended the practice, or are in the process of phasing it out. Martensville City Council, for example, voted at a meeting in early December to discontinue the incentive while encouraging ratepayers to move to a monthly payment schedule.

The main reason municipalities are discontinuing the early payment discounts is because the education portion of property taxes is no longer eligible for discounts. The provincial government eliminated tax discounts on the school portion of property taxes effective January, 2013.

Coincidentally, there will also be a revaluation of all properties across the province by the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) in 2013. The revaluation will update property values in relation to a base date of January 1, 2011. The last revaluation of properties was conducted in 2009, and set property values as of a base date of June 30, 2006.

The 2013 revaluation is designed to be “revenue-neutral on a municipal basis,” according to SAMA, and will impact property taxes “only if a property’s assessment increases or decreases substantially relative to the average” in the municipality.

DISCOUNTS VS PENALTIES Judi Thurlow, Warman Finance and Administration Manager, told councilors at the December 17 meeting that roughly 60 per cent of property owners in Warman currently take advantage of the early payment discount, paying their property taxes in full by the end of June.

She noted that very few residents pay property taxes between July and November, with a big rush of payments in December.

Warman Councilor Kendall Shram pointed out that the mill rate on property taxes is set higher than it would otherwise need to be in order to ensure the city can afford to offer the property tax discount.

“It’s not really a discount if we have to raise the mll rate to cover it,” Shram said.

Councilor Zane Dmytryshyn said he has “mixed feelings” on phasing out the discount program.

“If we have to make up a shortfall because we’re providing a discount to 60 per cent of our ratepayers, we have to take a serious look at the implications,” Dmytryshyn said.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said it’s important to gauge the feeling of residents before implementing any major change. She added that information on changes should be mailed out with tax notices, posted on the municipal website, and brought up for discussion at the annual ratepayers meeting in the fall.

Corman Park land use conflict cited for engineering firm’s withdrawal

By HILARY KLASSEN

T

hklassen@ccgazette.ca

he Rural Municipality of Corman Park Council began its operations in the New Year with the news that its consulting firm, Associated Engineering (AE) has withdrawn.

The RM administration distributed copies of a letter from the firm at Council’s regular meeting on Monday, January 7, stating that a “professional conflict” brought about by Council decisions made them unable to proceed.

The conflict arose from the Council decision on December 10, 2012 against using the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) that AE had produced at Council’s request. In the original agreement, council asked Associated Engineering to produce both a new Official Community Plan (OCP) as well as a Future Land Use Map. In the letter, Associated Engineering stated, “We considered this a comprehensive and interrelated proposal with two phases that would include a Future Land Use Map. Unfortunately, Council did not accept our entire proposal, deferring the comprehensive work plan and excluding the Future Land Use Map.” The letter acknowledges that a FLUM is not mandatory, but is an invaluable tool for visually representing Council’s policy and communicating directions for growth. Further, it states, “In a less active and sophisticated rural municipality where little development is occurring the lack of a map may be acceptable – but not in the fastest growing area of the province.”

Councillors were not entirely surprised by this communication from Associated Engineering. Responses ranged from disappointment and the sense that this is really unfortunate, to the belief that this is a good surprise and Council is now further ahead.

Councillor David Fox felt it was too bad: “Work that has been done on this project to date is not wasted but this leaves us in limbo,” he said. “This is really unfortunate.”

But Councillor Gord Gunoff felt otherwise. “We`re further ahead, don’t take slight,” said Gunoff. “I think when the rate payers hear about this they will be jumping up and down and saying hurrah. This is a good thing, I’m not disappointed at all. Let`s move forward with

the existing OCP and find a new engineering firm that does what we ask them to.”

Associated Engineering respects the autonomy of Council in their decisions, but stated, “This decision is at odds with our planning principles and the new proposal and respectfully not in the best interest of the stated objective we were given for guiding development in the RM. Given the professional conflict created by these circumstances, we are unable to proceed on a partial proposal basis.”

AE remains open to working with the RM in the future.

Council has deferred any further discussion of the matter until the Planning Department has an opportunity to process the news.

Province rejects bid to split RM of Corman Park The RM of Corman Park will remain intact, at least for the foreseeable future.

Sask. Minister of Government Relations, Jim Reiter, has rejected a petition requesting the RM be split into two municipalities, with the South Sask.

River as the dividing line.

Reiter sent a letter to the Reeve of Corman Park, Judy Harwood, on Dec. 20, outlining his reasons for the decision.

“This is a very serious matter and it’s not my inclination to be arbitrarily splitting RMs in two,” Reiter explained to reporters shortly after the letter was received by the RM council. “This is the best decision for all concerned. Corman Park until recently functioned very,

very well. I just felt it was in the best interest of all involved to make the decision now to clarify it for the future.”

The idea of splitting the RM was proposed last fall after the number of seats on the RM council was reduced from 11 to 8. A petition urging the split was signed by 15% of the population of Corman Park. The plan was advocated by Mel Henry, the former Reeve of the RM of Corman Park, who was defeated in an election Oct. 24. The issue of splitting the RM was one of the issues in that election.

The proposal to split the RM was forwarded to the provincial government. A referendum among RM ratepayers on the proposed split was one of

the options open to the province, but it was never called.

The province, did, however, instruct the RM administration to provide a comprehensive business plan outlining how the RM’s assets, income and services would be divided if the plan were to proceed. The deadline for the plan to be submitted to the government was originally set for Dec. 31, 2012. The RM council asked for an extension to the deadline.

The complexity of dividing the RM’s assets and income required a significant amount of work from the RM’s administrative staff, which was already shorthanded due to vacancies created over the past year.

Corman Park Reeve Judy

Harwood said she is pleased with the Minister’s ruling.

She said while a minority of ratepayers advocated the split, most voters were opposed. She noted that splitting the RM

would have been expensive and unproductive, and pointed out that the trend in Sask. is toward regional partnerships among municipalities and consolidation of RMs.

Warman council mulls options after SaskPower error

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A billing error by SaskPower last fall resulted in residential and business customers in Warman being slightly overcharged in October and November.

The overcharge was credited back to customers by SaskPower in its December billings.

The error occurred when SaskPower assessed customers in Warman a municipal surcharge of 10 per cent for the period October 24, 2012 to December 13, 2012. Under provincial legislation, the maximum municipal surcharge for cities is 10 per cent, while the maximum municipal surcharge for towns and villages is 5 per cent.

The Town of Warman was officially proclaimed the City of Warman on October 24.

However, the legislation states that SaskPower cannot automatically increase the

municipal surcharge when a municipality achieves city status. Instead, the corporation must wait until it receives a formal request from the city before it is allowed to raise the rate.

In a letter to Warman customers dated December, 17, 2012, SaskPower Customer Services department apologized for the mistake. and said in most cases, the billing error resulted in a less than five dollar overcharge for individuals.

The letter went on to state that “the municipal surcharge for the City of Warman will remain at five per cent unless SaskPower receives a formal request and notification from Warman City Concil to adjust the municipal surcharge.”

The municipal surcharge levied by SaskPower is applied to all electrical power bills within the municipality.

The funds collected through the surcharge are then turned over to the municipality as a “payment in lieu of taxes.”

Warman urges monthly payments CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Councilor Trevor Peterson suggested the council adopt the recommendaton of the Administration Committee and retain the tax discount program for 2013. Meanwhile, council would also explore options for 2014.

One of those options includes implementation of a The Tax Instalment Payment Plan Service, or “TIPPS”, similar to that currently offered by the City of Saskatoon. The TIPPS program allows property owners to pay their property tax bill in 12 monthly instalments by automatic withdrawal rather than a single annual payment.

Thurlow said the earliest the TIPPS program could be implemented is January, 2014. “The reason the TIPPS program hasn’t been offered to date is that it doesn’t allow for discounts on tax payments at any time during the year,” she told the council meeting. “There is a cost involved to implement this program. Holding off until 2014 to offer this service would give time to notify all taxpayers of the implementation date and also provide time for staff to set up the program.”

Thurlow noted that municipalities that offer a TIPPS program do not provide discounts or penalties to those taxpayers enrolled in the program that honour their monthly payments.

The billing error came to light in early December, after a Warman resident complained to Warman City Hall about not being notified of the increase in the municipal surcharge.

Judi Thurlow, Finance and Administration Manager for the City of Warman, told Warman City Council that she became aware of the increase after checking the October and November SaskPower billings for municipal property.

“There was a slight increase in the October billings of just over 0.5 per cent,” Thurlow told councilors at the December 17 meeting, “and an increase on the November billings from the previous 5 per cent to 10 per cent.”

Thurlow said she phoned SaskPower and was told the municipal surcharge increase came into effect on October 24.

She then researched the relevant legislation, and realized the corporation had jumped the gun.

“After checking legislation, I located the following

wording in the Power Corporation Act, section 37(2),” explained Thurlow. “Where the council of a city desires to receive from the corporation a monthly payment in lieu of taxes, the corporation may add to the monthly account or electrical energy of every customer in the city a sum not to exceed ten per cent thereof, and shall pay the proceeds of such additional charge to the council of the city as a payment in lieu of taxes, monthly or as the parties otherwise agree.”

Thurlow said Warman City Council “has the option of requesting SaskPower to increase the municipal surcharge from the current 5 per cent up to a maximum of 10 per cent.” In order for the increase to take effect, she said the City Council must pass a resolution to that effect, specifying the date it is to be commenced, and then notify SaskPower.

Council opted to make a decision on the issue at a meeting in January.

Man dead in Highway 16 rollover A 71 year-old man from Saskatoon is dead as a result of a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 16 west of Maymont on Wednesday, January 2.

A 69 year-old woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was transported to Battlefords Union Hospital in stable condition.

Warman RCMP say icy road conditions contributed to the fatality, which occurred at about 2:10 p.m. The deceased male was driving a white 2005 GMC Canyon pickup truck when it overturned in the westbound lanes. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

RCMP officers and emergency response personnel responded to the call. A STARS air ambulance helicopter was dispatched but later cancelled.

Highway 16 westbound lanes were closed for a short period of time to enable RCMP officers and a collision analyst from Saskatoon to investigate the incident. Eastbound lanes of Highway 16 remained open.

2013 brings old and new challenges

C O M M E N T A R Y

New Year, New You

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

You may be familiar with the definition of insanity -- “repeating the same behavior over and over again and expecting different results.”

Based on this definition most of us are at least a little bit crazy.

We’re stuck in repetitive behaviors and don’t have the vision or the will to change. So we keep doing the same things and wonder why nothing changes. This kind of insanity becomes the norm.

Enter, the New Year’s Resolution, the ultimate change strategy, right? Maybe. But it’s likely some resolutions made for 2013 have already failed. Change doesn’t necessarily happen just because we make a major pronouncement, whether loudly or privately. Often these decisions are high on intention and low on planning or follow through. They are decisions made in a brief moment of hyped up willpower and typically they don’t stick. If you’re like me, you’re done with resolutions.

But it is possible to exorcise bad habits and develop new ones.

Take snacking. Who doesn’t love their guilty pleasures? When I’m working, (or basically anytime) the desire to reach for something salty or sweet is a familiar impulse. And when I reach, I usually find something.

But what’s behind the impulse? New research on the power of habits talks about the “habit loop” which identifies a cue, a routine and a reward. So when I snack is the reward to satisfy my hunger?

Not really. I may just need a break in my focus or relief from boredom. A snack provides a stimulus and a reprieve. If the cue is that I need an interruption, there’s other ways to get that, like taking a quick walk, doing a few stretches, or stealing three minutes on the internet. My body is telling me something but it’s generally not that I need to grab some calories.

The trick is to identify the cues and rewards so you can change the routine and choose a different way of getting the reward. But many of our habits are so ingrained the behavior is no longer questioned. It has become automatic and unconscious. Someone who has smoked for years is probably not very in touch with the cue and the routine any more, but the reward is familiar and desired. They may not remember the stimulus or the routine of lighting up, but they know when they’ve had their “feel good” moment.

People have had great success in exchanging one bad routine for another better one. Learning new habits involves bringing back into consciousness automatic behaviors. It also involves bringing back awareness of what’s going on in the body, the physiology and psychology of behavior.

Changing the habit loop may be easy to describe, but it’s misleading to assume that it’s easy to do. Lasting change requires work and self-understanding of the cravings that drive behaviors.

People who have been successful in creating new habits have started with one area over which they wanted to gain control. With time, success in one area generally spilled over into others.

Even those who gained mastery over one area could experience relapse when put in a stressful situation. The difference between those who were able to maintain new routines even under stress is belief. Those alcoholics who believed they could and would change never took another drink. This kind of belief is strengthened by community and the support of loved ones.

There is a fine line between habits and addictions. While there is overlap, addictions tend to be associated with the degree and type of behavior that impairs relationships and can threaten social and career standing.

A new year is a great time to look at habit loops and consider new routines that lead to trusted rewards. We can stop the insanity.

The ringing in of 2013 will certainly bring some of the same old problems for rural Saskatchewan... albeit, perhaps less of them.

And it will undoubtedly bring some new problems ... albeit, a few that might be preferred problems to have.

This is the reality of a province still enjoying a relatively strong economy. So let us explore some of the potential economic challenges and how we might expect to meet them.

Agriculture and the uncertainty of the weather and markets:

Weather and markets are issues rural residents can do very little about, but agriculture will continue to be the mainstay for the rural economy in 2013.

The heavier snow cover we are now seeing generally bodes well for getting the crops off to a better start. Unfortunately, in can also mean flooding or late seeding.

Similarly, the value of our crops will depend largely on crops elsewhere in the world along with how other economies perform - something equally unpredictable.

That said, the trend towards larger market-oriented farming operations (a trend likely to continue with the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board) plus the emergence third-world economies should continue to result in wealthier producers in Saskatchewan.

Unfortunately, this trend also means fewer producers to support smaller rural communities. This trend will also continue, although the impact of this on rural life is slow enough that it isn’t necessarily felt from year to year.

Economic activity and opportunities: A high tide floats all boats. And the high tide from the boom in oil drilling and potash mine development has been felt everywhere in Saskatchewan in the past decade.

What should be said, however, is that some boats rise faster than others.

Communities closer to potash mining development projects and drilling will obviously continue to receive more benefit than communities further away. In fact, communities like Estevan, Weyburn, Moosomin, Esterhazy etc. would probably suffer less from any economic slowdown because it might give the chance for the local economy to catch up with the increase in housing prices and shortage in housing.

Of course, high costs and shortages of housing is one of those socalled preferred problems that only come around when the economy is better. Nevertheless, it is a problem and a problem that shouldn’t be understated.

Losing the lower-living-cost advantage rural communities have traditionally enjoyed is a problem. And it’s an even bigger problem when you consider growth can mean new problems normally associated with larger urban centres like increased violent crime, more drug offences or simply providing adequate infrastructure to meet

the needs of growth.

Government support and programming: On the latter point in particular, the Saskatchewan Party government with its predominate rural-based caucus has been both rather generous and sensitive to the needs of rural Saskatchewan in the past five years.

The problem, however, is that the government’s 2012 budget demonstrated it can only offer so much and will likely continue to slow down its spending.

That means things like less flexibility to meet the needs of

highways that have literally been absorbing the impact of the boom’s increase in economic activity.

Rural voters have enjoyed the advantage of long-awaited breaks on agriculture land education tax and increased support for health care initiatives under this Sask.

Party government. We will start to see the results come to fruition this year, with the completion of projects like the Radville hospital.

But this will be the second budget of this term - a time when the government focus is traditionally more on austerity than buying your votes before an election.

That said, it would seem unlikely that Premier Brad Wall’s government has any intention of simply abandoning rural Saskatchewan _ especially given the political efforts to add more MLAs to preserve rural seats.

While there are clearly challenges ahead, 2013 should be another year of opportunity for rural Saskatchewan.

READY FOR ‘EVEREST Joyful Noise’ Waldheim woman takes on Everest Base Camp challenge in effort to combat modern slavery

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Denise Heppner of Waldheim isn’t afraid of a challenge. In fact, she’s taking on not just one, but two pretty tall mountains – one literal and the other figurative.

Heppner will be the only Canadian in a group of 44 women from around the world who will be trekking to the Mount Everest Base Camp (an elevation of 17,598 feet above sea level) and then to the summit of Mount Kalaphatar (18,192 feet elevation). The “Freedom Climb” is slated to take place in April, 2013, and is aimed at drawing attention to a widespread but little-acknowledged issue of human trafficking and slavery.

It’s an issue that’s close to Heppner’s heart. The young mother of three small children works as an online teacher at the University of Saskatchewan, and until a few months ago, she was blissfully unaware that millions of women and children around the world are forced to endure such horror.

“We tend to think of slavery as something that’s ancient history,” said Heppner in a phone interview. “But there are more people today who are enslaved, oppressed, exploited and trafficked than at any other period. There are an estimated 30 million people who are caught up in this horror. Every year, another million people are lured or forced into the sex trade industry.”

Heppner said 80 per cent of the victims are female, and as many as 60 per cent of them are children. “Female slaves are usually used for sex, regardless of their age,” she said. “The average age of entry for children in the sex trade industry is 12 years old. These kids live, on average, only two years. They are either beaten to death, get AIDS, or overdose on drugs forced on them.”

Perhaps most shocking of all, though, is that this isn’t a problem confined to third world countries. “It is right here in Canada and Saskatchewan,” noted Heppner. “Most victims of human trafficking unknowingly enter the market after being tricked by false employment advertisements, thinking they will be hired as domestic workers, waitresses or other low-skilled work.”

Heppner said she first had her eyes opened to the issue last fall when a speaker made a presentation to her local church in Waldheim. “I didn’t realize how huge a problem this is,” she said. “I honestly had no idea. But I started looking into the realities and the statistics of human trafficking it really touched my heart and I decided to do something about it.”

She said she signed up for the Freedom Climb after reading about it online at www.thefreedomclimb.net . The Freedom Climb is a ministry of Operation Denise Heppner of Waldheim Mobilization (OM). It supports OM proj(Photos submitted) ects focused on at-risk women and children, specifically with those who are exploited, enslaved, oppressed and trafficked. According to the Freedom Climb website, OM works among the most marginal and least-reached people in the world and has 6,100 workers from 100 nations serving in 118 countries. Its rescue and rehabilitation projects include education for children, skills training for adults and creation of job opportunities.

“My personal goal is to raise a minimum of $15,000 to help these women and children,” said Heppner. “I also want to represent Canada on this important undertaking and spread the word as far as I can about this modern day horror.” She is inviting people to contact her at 306945-2267 or by e-mail at denise.heppner@usask.ca to participate in her fundraising project.

Denise Heppner trains in cold weather in preparation for a climb to the Mount Everest base camp.

While Mount Everest is a magnet for alpine climbers the world over, it’s also one of the most hostile environments on earth.

Heppner is quick to point out that the group of women she’ll be trekking with are not tackling the summit of the highest mountain on earth – they’re only aiming for the Everest base camp. Still, at over 17 thousand feet elevation, it’s literally the rooftop of the world.

“I actually have very little experience or training in mountain climbing,” admitted Heppner. “In fact, it was just last Thanksgiving that I started planning to participate.” But while her alpine training this winter is limited to the riverbank of the North Saskatchewan River at Shekinah, she’s confident she’ll be able to handle the challenge. She says she’s in good physical condition, and is working out

regularly.

“It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she said. “I’m going to be doing a blog and will be recording the trip. We’ll be gone 3 weeks, with a total of 17 days spent on the mountain.”

Last year, the first Freedom Climb saw 48 women from around the world climb to the summit of Mount Kilamanjaro in Tanzania.

Saskatoon to host country music awards The Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA) and Country Music Association of Saskatoon (CMAS) are thrilled to announce that the 24th annual SCMA Awards Weekend and Country Music Festival will take place in Saskatoon Apr. 26-28, 2013.

Organizers are particularly excited to make this announcement after a successful PotashCorp Country Music Week and Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA’s) that was hosted in Saskatoon last fall. This year also marks the first that a jury

made up of music industry professionals from across the country will be part of the SCMA nomination and voting process.

“Saskatoon is certainly a city that loves their live music, and country music,” said Cristy Beggs, Chair of the 2013 SCMA Awards Host Committee. “With our Saskatchewan artists on the playing field with the likes of Emerson Drive and Dean Brody, it’s our chance to really showcase what we have to offer here on the prairies. The 2013 Saskatchewan Country Music Association

Awards and Country Music Festival will be the place to see it all!”

The weekend will include a Kick-Off Party, Songwriter’s Evening in the Round, Adult & Youth Showcases, Country Gospel Show & Brunch, and Industry Awards, and will be capped off by the prestigious annual Awards Gala… all with a Saskatoon flavour! Country music fans will have a chance to see the top country artists and musicians from across the province, as well as some new and emerging acts take to the stage.

MARTENSVILLE

Volunteer, Citizen of Year nominations open

The City of Martensville is looking for nominations to honour its 2012 Volunteer of the Year and 2012 Citizen of the Year.

The Citizen of the Year is awarded to people that have provided outstanding service to improve the community in the past year or over an extended period of time.

The Volunteer of the Year is awarded to people that have made a voluntary and noteworthy contribution during the current year and given outstanding service to the local community over a number of years.

According to the City of Martensville website, residents of Martensville are invited to fill out a nomination form. The deadline for nominations for both awards is January 31, at 5:00 p.m. Nomination forms can be submitted to the Recreation & Community Services Department.

SaskPower rates will rise in the new year After reviewing the recommendations of the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel (SRRP), the Government of Saskatchewan has advised SaskPower to proceed with a 4.9 per cent rate increase, effective Jan. 1, 2013.

“This rate increase is needed to fund investments in the province’s electrical system and keep up with Saskatchewan’s growing economy, while at the same time maintaining safe and reliable electrical service for SaskPower customers,” Minister responsible for SaskPower Bill Boyd said.

Over the next 10 years, SaskPower plans to invest $10 billion on the province’s electrical system to meet increased electricity demand and renew aging infrastructure. Another $3 billion has been earmarked for Power Purchase Agreements.

“I would like to personally thank the members of the Rate Review Panel for their thorough analysis and consideration of SaskPower’s rate application, and the provincial government for its approval of the case SaskPower presented,” SaskPower President and CEO Robert Watson said.

“The Rate Review Panel en-

sured that members of the public were informed and consulted during their review, which is a very important step in the process.”

Of note, the SRRP congratulated SaskPower for the initiatives the company is taking to streamline business processes and improve service delivery, while also reducing costs and realizing savings.

Saskatchewan residential customers will, on average, see their bills increase by between $4-6 per month starting Jan. 1, 2013. SaskPower has not raised its rates since August, 2010.

Customers can help manage the increase by taking part in electricity conservation programs, such as SaskPower’s fridge recycling program, lighting exchanges and discounts, and the block heater timer program. By 2017, it’s expected that customers will achieve enough savings through SaskPower’s energy-efficiency programming to power 100,000 homes.

For more information about SaskPower’s rate application, visit saskpower. com/rates or the Rate Review Panel website at www. saskratereview.ca.

MOONLIGHT REHEARSALS

The cast members of Moon Over Buffalo, the upcoming play by the Scared Scriptless Players of Warman, are busy preparing for opening night of their fifth annual presentation, slated for March 15-17 at the Brian King Centre in Warman. Cast members include (Rear, left to right) Darren Zimmer, Shannon Landels, Russ Ramsden, Carol Affleck (Director), Tom Ball (Front, left to right) Linsey Gatzke, Dawn Bell, Christine Unger (Stage Manager), Denise Orpen (Not shown) Linley Redford. The cast held their first read-through of the script on January 3, and get together three times a week. They are always looking for people interested in helping out with all aspects of the production, including backstage helpers. (Photo submitted by Dorothy Gareau, Scared Scriptless Players)

Are you prepared for a power outage?

Winter storms increase the potential for power outages. SaskPower is suggesting six easy steps to ensure you and your family are better prepared.

1. Know the number to call when the power goes out. To report an outage, call 310-2220 (7-digit, toll-free in Saskatchewan). The number is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

2. Have an emergency kit ready and easily accessible.

The kit should include: flashlights, a battery-operated radio, extra batteries, a corded telephone, warm clothing and blankets, a first aid kit, drinking water, non-perishable, ready-to-eat foods and a copy of your emergency preparedness plan.

3. If there is an outage, turn off all appliances and electronics, especially electric heaters. When power is restored, power will rush to all items left in the “on” position

(PHOTO CREDIT: SaskPower)

which can cause the system to overload and possibly cause a second outage.

4. When the power is out, turn off all lights except one inside the home and one out-

side. The inside light lets you know when the power is back on, and the outside light lets SaskPower crews know.

5. Make note of SaskPower’s mobile-friendly website on your smart phone (surf to www.saskpower.com on a smart phone). The site provides updates on when power will be restored.

6. If you see a fallen power line, keep well away from the line at all times even if it doesn’t appear to be energized.

Never go near or touch a fallen line. Report fallen power lines with the exact location to SaskPower at 310-2220. If someone is injured or trapped, call 911.

Blades continue yo-yoing towards trade deadline Team Enigma, a.k.a. the Saskatoon Blades, continued to run true to that form following the Christmas break.

The Bridge City Bunch dropped both ends of a homeand-home series with the Prince Albert Raiders before displaying their best (or worst, depending on your point of view) “Mr. Blade”, giving up the first six goals over two periods before falling 6-2 in Regina to the Pats. However, “Dr. Jekyll” returned on New Year’s Day in a 7-2 pasting of Medicine Hat followed by an impressive 6-3 victory over P.A. All of which brings us to this week’s Western Hockey League trade deadline. The consensus amongst hockey experts, fervent fans and casual observers is that the 21-18-1 Blades have been far too inconsistent to move forward with the roster as it stood as of Monday.

“I think it’s always a nervous time for everyone on the team,” said Blades’ leading goal-scorer and point-getter Josh Nicholls. “We have a good group here and, hopefully, we can get a couple of pieces so that we can get even better.

“But, I think the group we have right now is a pretty good one and we’re all pretty happy with each other so we’ve just

got to keep sticking to it.”

Only time will tell if Saskatoon General Manager and Head Coach Lorne Molleken agrees with Nicholls’ assessement. Who knows, by the time you read this, the roster might have some changes to it! ***** ROSTER UPDATE – With the international tournament season at an end, the Bridge City Bunch were back to a sense of normalcy on Monday at practice. Goaltender Patrick Johnson (Melfort Mustangs) and wingers Alex Elliott (Melville Millionaires) and Tyler Giebel (Yorkton Terriers) were returned to their SJHL teams.

Defenceman Nelson Nogier plus forwards Matt Revel and Ryan Graham were back from the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Quebec. Andrey Makarov was slated to return Thursday from helping Russia to a bronze medal at the

World Junior Hockey Championship. Left winger Nathan Burns wasn’t skating Monday, but was expected to return to action this weekend after missing one game with a mild concussion. Forward Jessey Astles was back in Saskatoon, continuing rehabilitation after the gruesome skate blade slice to his right wrist that required emergency surgery. Defenceman Kyle Schmidt was waiting for medical clearance to skate with contact in practice. Once that happens, the 19-year-old will join the Battlefords North Stars of the SJHL to get some playing time. ***** UPCOMING GAMES – The Blades’ post-trade deadline schedule begins with a trio of home games against Central Division opposition. The Red Deer Rebels are in Friday, followed by the Edmonton Oil Kings on Saturday and the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday. All

games at Credit Union Centre start at 7:05 p.m. with the radio broadcasts on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL) commencing at 6:30 with pre-game talk. ***** BLADES TOP PLAYER SINCE CHRISTMAS – Josh Nicholls achieved a personal milestone in grand style during last Friday’s 6-3 home-ice triumph over the arch-rival Prince Albert Raiders. The 20-year-old scored twice, including the game winner, and added an assist while playing in his 300th career WHL game. They’ve all been with the Blades for the Tsawassen, B.C. native. Since Christmas, in five games, Nicholls has three goals and five points, giving him teamleading totals of 29 goals and 50 points. ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEMONTH – From several standout individual performances in December, Matej Stransky topped them all. The 19-yearold Czech Republic product notched 11 goals, two of them game winners, amongst 19 points in 12 games. The fifth round pick of the Dallas Stars in 2011 was second on the Saskatoon team in scoring with 48 points, including 22 goals, coming into this week.

The Delisle Chiefs kicked off the new year on a high note last Friday, picking up a 3-1 win over the host Saskatoon Westleys in Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) action.

Stacy Campbell collected a pair of goals and Kynan Tarnowski added a single, while Keith Boon turned aside 21 shots enroute to the victory.

Scott Yaremko scored the lone goal for the Westleys.

The win helped the Chiefs solidify their hold on third place in the league’s north division, one point behind the Saskatoon Quakers and 11 points back of the divisionleading Saskatoon Royals.

But with only five points separating the second and fifth-place teams, the logjam in the standings means the Chiefs will have to put together a serious winning streak if they want to secure a playoff spot.

“I don’t know if we’ll be able to do 23 wins in a row like last year, but we’re sure going to try,” said Chiefs coach Dave Norris after the game. “We have a couple games in hand on the other teams and if things go our way

we could creep up into second place. And if we can do that then of course we’re going to try and claw our way back to the top like we did last year.”

But that’s a tall order, and it means the team will have to peak now – and keep on improving, said Norris. It all comes down to which team finds the right combination of offense, defense and confidence at the right time.

“The league is really tight right now,” he said. “There’s a lot of parity between teams and most of the games are really close – one or two goals make all the difference. This was a really important game for us and we needed to get the win.”

The Chiefs came out of

game. “They were really peppering me in the final few minutes but I just tried to stay focused and keep my eye on the puck. It was good to get the win and get a good start to the second half of the season.”

Boon wasn’t the only one to feel the effects of the Christmas break. “We were probably playing at about 75 per cent effort tonight,” conceded Norris.

“This is the first game since the Christmas break, and it showed. We’re also missing some guys because of injuries and we’ve had to rearrange the lines. Some guys are playing their off-wing with different linemates, so they struggled a bit with that. But we’ll get through it. There’s still a lot of hockey left to play before

the gate strong, outshooting the Westleys by a margin of 18 to 4 in the opening period.

Still, they weren’t able to get anything by Westleys goaltender Keenan Kostiuk until the five minute mark of the second frame, when Campbell scored his first of two goals on the night. The Westleys answered back with a power play marker to tie the game late in the period. The final 20 minutes was a defensive battle, and while the Chiefs capitalized with two goals, the Westleys weren’t able to beat Delisle goaltender Keith Boon.

“I felt a little rusty at first, but it was good to get back on the ice and face some shots again,” said Boon after the

The Chiefs beat the Traveland RV Storm in White City on Sunday, thanks to a goal by Stacy Campbell, and took on the Tri-Town Thunder in Arborfield on Wednesday. They host a pair of back-to-back home games this weekend: the Prince Albert Ice Hawks on Saturday, January 12 at 7:30 p.m.; and the Cypress Cyclones on Sunday, January 13 at 2:00 p.m. Both games are in the Delisle Arena.

On-ice battle heats up, Hague edges Dalmeny

By TYLER WAWRYK

twawryk16@gmail.com

Cold weather on game day only means one thing in hockey terms; skate harder.

The Hague Royals and Dalmeny Fury did just that, in a heated battle Friday, December 28 in Dalmeny. The Royals emerged victorious in the tight 8-7 game, upsetting the hometown Fury for the second time in December.

Hague has had a rough start to the season, heading into the holidays with only three wins. The Royals seemed to have found their groove, and picked up a couple key players early in December.

One of them being Nathan McNaught, who opened the scoring with a clapper over the glove of Fury tender Tynan Smysniuk, just 1:30 into the contest. Dalmeny leading scorer, Justin D’Entremont, answered back a minute later.

This didn’t bother the Royals tenacious forwards. Veteran Daniel Rauckman and rookie Jesse Mireau combined their skills to put up 3 goals in less then a minute. Dalmeny head coach Clayton Chappell called a timeout and tried to rally his troops, but the Royals weren’t done yet. Hague silenced the hometown crowd finding the back of the net 3 more times before Dalmeny was able to sneak one in to close out the first, with the

Royals leading 7-2.

Dalmeny clearly wasn’t pleased with their first period performance, and came into the second on a mission. Smysniuk was on the bench and Kyle Yarskie took his place between the pipes. Fury defenseman, Brandon Peterson, finished off a tic-tac-toe play worthy of making the Sports Center Top 10, and the Fury were rolling. The ice seemed to be tilted as Dalmeny buried 4 more goals, stunning the Royals and tying things up 7-7.

Kyle Yarskie was looking sharp in the Fury cage, but the Royals weren’t going to let the comeback be the story of the game. Matthew Day put home a one-timer late in the second off a lovely feed by Chris Sawatzky. It was 8-7 after 40 minutes and the Fury were obviously frustrated, out shooting the Royals 40-26.

The Hague Royals had a short bench Friday night, and didn’t have the option of making a goaltender change. Despite giving up 5 goals in the first half of the second, Royals net-minder Curtis Sibley brushed himself off, and became the difference maker.

“Sibley’s been playing unreal,” said Hague Manager Roger Kinzel. “ And that’s a big thing in this league, you got to have good goaltending.”

The third period was a head to head battle of the goalies. Dalmeny was unable to

Dalmeny finished the night with almost 60 shots on net, but Curtis Sibley was virtually unbeatable in the third.

The Royals have won 3 of their last 5 games and Kinzel is confident in his squad heading into the back half of the season.

“We’re going to continue to get better,” stated an eager Kinzel. “Perseverance is our biggest thing, and it always has been.” The Royals lost to the league-leading Shellbrook Elks 9-4 last Friday, but beat Warman 6-3 on Sunday.

Benefits and pension plan.

Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) passenger fares increased by an average of 4.56 per cent on January 3, 2013.

The average fare increase per ticket is $1.45 based on an average one-way trip of 188 kilometres (or 117 miles). The increase is intended to generate additional revenue for the company while still keeping fares reasonable for customers.

“The increase reflects the need for STC to recoup some of its increased costs and at the same time, deliver on the company’s mandate to serve Saskatchewan,” STC CEO Shawn Grice said. “STC fares are affordable and comparable to average rates in western Canada and we believe that people who try our service once are very likely to become repeat riders due to the enjoyment of our travel experience.”

STC will also be making a notable change to one of its discount programs. STC will merge its two senior discount programs. Under the new program, all seniors aged 60 and older will receive a 25 per cent discount off of regular fares.

The last STC passenger rate increase occurred April 1, 2012.

Listening is key this week, Gemini. Pay attention to what is said and left unsaid, and the answer you seek will come. A friend comes through.

Take a step back, Cancer. You’re much too close to the action to make a good decision. A pet project nears completion. Give it your all one last time.

Idle chitchat at work tests your patience.

Leave it be, Leo. Something good will come of it. A tickle of the ivories breaks the tension and gets the party started.

VIRGO

There is such a thing as too much planning, Virgo. Throw caution to the wind and fly by the seat of your pants for a change of pace at an upcoming event.

LIBRA

Eager beaver you may be, Libra, but not everyone shares your enthusiasm. Dial it back a notch or two, and the team will come together.

SCORPIO

Uh-oh, Scorpio. You take charge of a project that neither your head nor your heart is into. Lucky for you, someone else is up to the task.

SAGITTARIUS

Up for a little travel, Sagittarius? You better be, as a loved one is setting the plans into motion. Don’t forget to pack your camera.

Bethany College highlights athletes of month Submitted by ALVIN THIELMANN

Athletics Director Bethany College, Hepburn

The Fall Semester was filled with many exciting sporting events. From league games and tournaments in Volleyball, Basketball, Indoor and Outdoor Soccer we were graced with many twists and turns of athleticism.

Jaymie Baumann led the Women’s Eagle volleyball team to an undefeated season in the Prairie Athletic Conference. Her powerful hitting and domination earned her MVP status in both league play and at the Provincial Championships. Baumann became the first Eagle to win this award in the col-

The Male Athlete of the Semester, Trevor Bergen, is the Eagle’s hockey goaltender. His stellar play between the pipes has earned him this prestigious award as well as the respect from the other teams in the league. His play has earned the Eagles a winning record as there have been some games that he ‘stole’ for his teammates. Trevor is also a leader on and off the ice and has often been turned to for leadership in team dynamics.

Bethany College also recognized the efforts of Andrew Reddekopp and Kristen Andres. They were named the December Athletes of the Month. Andres was a big part of the volleyball team’s success throughout the season.
