Langham-area landowners oppose Fortune Minerals proposed refinery By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
A group of Langham-area residents is calling on the RM of Corman Park to block a proposed refinery by Fortune Minerals. In a presentation to the RM council meeting on Monday, March 4, the delegation said they are concerned about the impact of the proposed metal processing plant in their neighbourhood. Led by Ken Crush, the group raised concerns about noise, dust, air-borne pollutants, tailing ponds, and water and soil contamination. It’s a pro-active move, since Fortune Minerals has yet to approach the RM of Corman Park with a formal proposal related to land use. The company completed the land purchase in early January. “Fortune Minerals states in their proposal that potential emissions include sulphur dioxide, particulate matter containing heavy metals, and greenhouse gases,” noted Crush. Rob Parenteau spoke about potential damage to his fruit orchard. Steven Derksen expressed concern about damage to his farm, and Calvin Van Dreger spoke on behalf of dairy farms in the area. Jan Buchanan, formerly of Moose Jaw, then Toronto, and now back in the Langham area said, “The prospect of a shortsighted, fast talking group of individuals who dangle the prospect of easy money to your unsuspecting residents in a rich agricultural area and to your citizens in a town that honestly could use a little help fills me with rage.” When Council hears from Fortune Minerals, Buchanan says, “I implore you to say no immediately.” Buchanan added that Fortune Minerals is busy “persuading people that it is a done deal,” and that this was said to her. “I moved from Ontario to escape this kind of garbage and then it lands right next to me.” Crush ended by saying to Council, “You can see we are fairly passionate and concerned
about this; we live there. You are our trustees, we hope that you will be honorable trustees.” Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood responded by saying, “I assure you that probably everyone around this table has the same concerns.” Councillor Gord Gunoff asked if other communities have turned down Fortune Minerals. Crush revealed that his brother is the economic development officer for the city of Medicine Hat. Fortune Minerals had come in seeking tax concessions. “Medicine Hat doesn’t give tax concessions, so it was a very short meeting,” said Crush. “And they said we will not give you tax concessions, and secondly we would not want your contamination in our city.” A motion by Councillor Joannne Janzen to send a letter to Premier Brad Wall outlining Council’s concerns and asking for the government’s position on the issue, passed unanimously.

A higher-than-normal snowpack combined with above-average soil moisture levels could spell trouble for municipalities and landowners this spring. Dwayne Rowlett, manager of Northern Regional Services for the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWA), says there is a strong possibility of flooding in many areas of the province. He urges municipal leaders to prepare now for whatever Mother Nature brings. “A lot of things could influence the likelihood and severity of any flooding,” said Rowlett during a meeting of municipal officials in Warman on Monday, March 4. “The big factors are soil moisture levels in the fall, the amount of snowfall during the winter and the rate of thaw in the spring. There’s a lot of snow and ice out there and, if we get a fast thaw, there will be problems. If it’s a slow melt, things won’t be too bad. But, we need to be prepared.” One of the regions where conditions are ripe for flooding is the Saskatoon-Prince Albert corridor, where soil moisture and snowpack conditions are between 150 and 200 per cent above average. The SWA will be monitoring weather and snow conditions in the coming weeks, and will work closely with municipalities to offset potential problems. At the same time municipal leaders should take steps to educate their residents and ensure that drainage channels are able to handle the meltwater flow when it comes. Rowlett noted municipalities need to identify problem areas and draw up possible solutions ahead of time so that when decisions need to be made, all the potential implications are taken into account. “If you cut a road to save a house, will it mean six more houses downstream are going to be inundated?” he asked. “Does it mean you will also have to cut other roads to handle that flow?” He said past experience dictates which areas are prone to flooding and those areas need special attention. “Ignoring the issue will doom it to be repeated in the future,” he said. Rowlett said regional partnerships are important when it comes to dealing with floods. Municipalities not only need to work together, but they also need to ensure that business-
es and individuals with expertise and equipment are brought into the mix. Ken Snell with the provincial Ministry of Government Relations, Emergency Management and Fire Safety Branch, said information and education is key. “The most important thing is to make sure that residents know what is going on,” he said. “If we can get the information out to them, they will be happier because they will understand the risks and they will also understand the preparations you are making.” Snell said individual homeowners should take steps to protect their homes and property, but noted they must be careful not to simply pass on the problem to their neighbours downstream.
“There’s a lot of snow and ice out there and, if we get a fast thaw, there will be problems. If it’s a slow melt, things won’t be too bad. But, we need to be prepared.” • Dwayne Rowlett Saskatchewan Water Security Agency
“Make sure you move snow away from the house to ensure water drains away from the foundation,” he said. “In cities and towns, homeowners can also take steps to clear neighbourhood storm water catch basins. They should make sure their sump pump and sewer backwater valve is in place and is working.” In rural areas, landowners should ensure their wellhead is protected to prevent contamination from floodwaters. Snell said in serious emergency situations, municipalities have the power to declare a state of emergency and take actions to deal with extraordinary dangers. But they must exercise due diligence before those actions are taken, he added. Municipalities may also declare themselves to be disaster areas after the fact in order to qualify for specific provincial or federal disaster relief funding.

Delisle’s future brighter with Crops for Community project
Full Service Diagnostic Ultrasound Clinic
Proceeds from multi-year fundraiser earmarked for recreation facilities By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A 200-acre parcel of farmland just east of Delisle will eventually be the site of a new residential neighbourhood. But, in the meantime, the townowned land will be used for growing crops, with the proceeds from the sale of the grain being plowed back into commuity recreation facilities. The Delisle Crops for Community (DCFC) project is an initiative aimed at “improving the quality of life for everyone in Delisle and the surrounding rural area,” according to Shawn Colborn, president of the DCFC steering committee. “It’s an idea whose time has come and there’s a tremendous amount of momentum to see this through. We could potentially see in excess of $200,000 raised to build recreation facilities in this community.” Colborn made his remarks at a fundraising supper in Delisle on Friday, March 1, where the project was officially unveiled to a packed house of supporters. “Delisle Crops for Community will farm the 200 acres owned by the town,” explained Colborn. “The success of the project will hinge on getting support from sponsors for crop inputs and getting volunteers to do the farming work. The Town of Delisle has agreed to allow the DCFC group to farm the land for the next four years rent-free. All proceeds from the sale of the crops will be made available to fund recreation infrastructure projects.” Colborn said after the crop is harvested and proceeds from the crop collected, the steering committee will review funding applications from groups in Delisle and area. “Special consideration will be given to groups seeking funding for recreational infrastructure projetcs that offer long-term benefits to the community,” he said. “We’ll also be looking at whether the group has applied for government grants that require matching funds. This money can be used to match funds from government. In the past, that’s always been a stumbling block for groups that are short of cash. We hope to overcome that hurdle with this project.” The idea for the project was hatched by Colborn, Curt Gessell, Joel Durham and their recreational hockey teammates in the dressing room after a game last fall. It was shortly after the Town of Delisle had purchased

Because the land was likely to remain idle for an indefinite amount of time, the players decided it offered a great opportunity. “Lots of good ideas come out of those post-game sessions,” said Colborn. “But this one was different. We decided to take action instead of just talking about it.”
“This money can be used to match funds from government. In the past, that’s always been a stumbling block for groups that are short of cash. We hope to overcome that hurdle with this project.” • Shawn Colborn DCFC steering committee president
Colborn, Gessell and Durham soon brought other key people onto the steering committee and went to Delisle Town Council with a concrete proposal and a business plan to make the dream a reality. Delisle council enthusiastically adopted the proposal. Dave Anderchek, Mayor of Delisle, is one of the project’s biggest boosters. He told the fundraising supper that “things happen when we work together. We’re excited about the direction we’re going.” Andercheck said there’s been plenty of interest from people about not just
the residential development, but also a planned industrial and commercial subdivision on the south side of Delisle across Highway 7. “What you folks are doing here tonight adds to the positive future of our community,” said Andercheck. After successfully pitching the idea to council, the group then sought corporate sponsorship from the Agrium Potash Mine and Farm and Garden Centre of Saskatoon. Both companies readily agreed to help the cause. Agrium made an up-front cash donation of $45,000 to the steering committee at the fundraising supper and has agreed to cover the cost of all crop inputs – including fertilizer – on crops grown for the next four years. Colborn said that support could translate into an in-kind donation of between $160,000 to $200,000. Mike Dirham, general manager of Agrium, said the company has a history of supporting community projects over the past 40 years and will continue to do so. “Our employees are part of this community and many other communities,” said Dirham. “We strive to have a great operation and we work to build those connections that benefit everyone in the area.” Farm and Garden Centre has agreed to provide equipment to seed, spray and harvest the crop.

SaskPower electrical transmission line route close to being finalized By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It’s just a matter of weeks until the final right-of-way is set for two new 230 kilovolt (kV) electrical transmission lines north and east of Saskatoon. A third and final public open house on the Saskatoon Reinforcement Project was held in Saskatoon on Thursday, February 28. The massive electrical upgrade project will see the installation of a switching station near Aberdeen, a substation near Martensville and high-capacity overhead lines servicing the north industrial end of Saskatoon as well as potash mines east of Saskatoon. The aim is to provide a reliable source of electrical power to supplement the aging Queen Elizabeth power station in Saskatoon’s south end. Bernie Bolen, project manager with SaskPower, said the open house attracted a huge crowd as soon as the doors were opened. “There were a lot of landownerrs who have property close to the various corridors who are anxious to see the exact route,” said Bolen. “They have very specific questions and that’s what we’re here for – to answer those questions and fine-tune things before the construction starts.” Bolen said the power utility originally identified several potential corridors for the transmission line between Aberdeen and Martensville, and eventually decided on a single route as a result of three years worth of study. “We narrowed it down to a one-mile wide corridor and now we’re selecting the location of the line within that corridor,” he said. “We’ve narrowed it down to a 300 meter corridor and the 40-meter wide right-ofway will go somewhere within that 300-meter corridor. We’re geting close to saying this is where we would like the rightof-way to go.” Public feedback from the open house, as well as information gleaned from a series of consultations with municipal governments and other stakeholders, will all go into the mix before any construction gets underway, said Bolen. Work on the line will begin this summer, as landowners along the route are contacted by SaskPower representatives

The Bargain Shop files for bankruptcy protection Deals are done as Warman store set to reportedly close Four years after opening its 10,000 square foot location in the Warman Plaza, The Bargain Shop has notified its staff as well as vendors that the store will be closing in the coming weeks. The Mississauga, Ontario based company announced February 26 that it had obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) granting the company protection from creditors until March 28. The order may be extended as required and approved by the court. Under CCAA protection, all proceedings on the part of the The Bargain Shop’s creditors are stayed, while it restructures its business and finan-
Martensville urges residents to prepare for spring melt The City of Martensville is encouraging residents to pull together over the next few weeks in an effort to prevent flooding problems. In a letter to homeowners, Martensville Public Works Director Mike Grosh said the city has experienced an above-average amount of snow this winter. “Depending on the rate of thaw, the City of Martensville can anticipate some minor problems during spring runoff,” said Grosh in the letter. “Everyone must do their part to lessen the risk of damage to property.” Grosh said the city priorities are protecting the municipal sewage system, preventing water from threatening houses and other waters in back lanes and yards. Grosh explained that Martensville city crews will be removing snow from major drainage ways and catch basins. Residents can help by removing all the snow around their houses for a distance of at least two meters. “Ths should include clearing ice and snow around the bottom of your downspouts,” said Grosh. “Downspouts should also extend at least two meters from the building. These precautions will prevent water running along the concrete walls and entering the weeping tile system.” Water draining into the weeping tile system can put stress on the sanitary sewer system as well as individual sump pumps, added Grosh. “This runoff can also cause damage to your basement area,” he said. “It is also very important to maintain drainage away from your house.” Grosh said while the city does not anticipate any problems with the municipal sanitary sewer system, residents who notice signs of a sewer backup or surface water threats are urged to immediately report the problem by calling 306-931-2308 (after hours call 306-229-5002). He said sewage should be treated as hazardous waste and urged homeowners to keep children and pets away from any flooded areas of the home.

Review of province’s Crowns should be a priority By Sheldon Schwartz, Frontier Centre for Public Policy
Saskatchewan’s political climate appears to be heating up when it comes the future of its commercial Crown corporations. In November 2012, the provincial government introduced legislation authorizing the sale of voting shares in Investment Services Corporation (ISC), a commercial Crown corporation that provides registry services, and announced that it is contemplating a 60 per cent partial privatization through a stock offering. In a 2012 year-end CBC interview, Premier Brad Wall indicated that he would like to provide Saskatchewan voters with a clear policy on the privatization of the province’s commercial Crowns before the next election. Wall said that “It can’t be about ideology. . . It has to be what’s pragmatic”, adding that he would welcome a “rational” public discussion about Saskatchewan’s Crown corporations. Saskatchewan’s first commercial Crown corporations were established for pragmatic public-policy purposes. According to Crown Investments Corporation (CIC), the holding company for Saskatchewan’s commercial Crowns, “Private sector companies either did not offer services, offered them only to major centres, or charged rural customers significantly higher rates than urban customers. Saskatchewan’s first commercial Crown corporations were established because essential services such as telephone, power, and hail insurance for crops were not available from private companies, or not available to all residents on a fair and equitable basis”. The commercial Crowns also provide head office jobs in Saskatchewan that otherwise might not exist. As recently as the 2003 provincial election, accusations that the Saskatchewan Party had a hidden agenda to privatize Saskatchewan’s commercial Crown corporations became a major issue that helped to re-elect the incumbent NDP government. In 2004, the Saskatchewan legislature, with support from all political parties, passed The Crown Corporations Public Ownership Act, which specifies nearly all of Saskatchewan’s commercial Crown corporations, and creates a daunting barrier to their potential sale. However, Investment Services Corporation (ISC), a commercial Crown corporation that provides registry services, was not specified in the 2004 legislation. Saskatchewan’s commercial Crown corporation sector represents a large investment of public money with consolidated assets of about $12.8 billion as of September 30, 2012. It is both pragmatic and prudent to review periodically how these assets have performed, their situation and outlook, the continuing public policy purpose of government ownership, and to involve the public in the review process. In 2008, I developed a framework for conducting a non-ideological, pragmatic Crown review. It called on the provincial government to establish an independent public review of Saskatchewan’s commercial Crown corporations based upon rigorous, objective and transparent analysis with open public input and debate. A Crown Review would foster informed public debate, and would help the government and opposition parties to develop clear policies on the commercial Crowns. A Crown Review would provide a pragmatic alternative to ideology in assessing the benefits, costs, risks, and continuing public policy purpose of government ownership of the various commercial Crowns, and in deciding which, if any, should continue under government ownership and which, if any, should be privatized. It thus makes good sense and the provincial government would show good faith not to proceed with any partial privatization of ISC until after the completion of a Crown Review and the release of a clear policy. It has been more than 15 years since the last Crown Review. When I proposed the framework for a new kind of Crown Review five years ago, the government indicated that conducting such a review was not a priority. Wall’s 2012 year-end interview suggests a possible change in the government’s receptiveness to the idea.

Wall should focus on problems at home
It’s not as if Premier Brad Wall does not have a point about the U.S. government’s dithering on approving the Keystone XL Pipeline. Caught up in the pre-election politics in 2012, American President Barack Obama chose not to overrule local opposition in states like Nebraska to building the pipeline over aquifers. This was applauded by the American environmental movement – that happens to be big supporters of the U.S. Democrats – as a major victory in the effort to stop the import of “dirty” Canadian oil. It’s about here where Wall makes some critical points. For starters, Canadian oil _ whether from Alberta’s oilsands oil or not – should not be seen as an affront to American environmental standards. This is, after all, a country that contributes more to greenhouse gas emission and world pollution than any other on the planet. Or at least, it contributes more pollution on a per capita basis. Wall rightly argues that Americans hardly have much room to talk about when it comes to CO2 emissions – whether it’s from its car culture or its coal-fired power plants. By contrast, Saskatchewan and Canada have become world leaders in trying to address emissions from the latter. The Saskatchewan Premier also extends the “ethical oil” argument well beyond the railings of federal Conservative Environment Minister Peter Kent or Sun TV self-promoter Ezra Levant. Notwithstanding how this term has become the rallying cry for federal government/political interests, there is a legitimate argument here. The pollution and human rights violations of Middle Eastern or African nations cannot be ignored and should be balanced off against Canada’s more ethical treatment of its citizens. Similarly, the potential of environmental damage through an offshore drilling rig accident in the Gulf of Mexico or a grounded tanker off the Alaskan coast should also factor into the alleged damage caused by piping oil in either from the oilsands or the Bakken Play. Finally, Wall makes a further solid point that it makes no sense for the U.S. try to change another country’s environmental standards – environ-

mental standards, that by the way, may exceed those in your country. And it especially makes no sense if the only one you are hurting is yourself, economically. These will be the messages that Wall takes to Washington next week. And given that the Saskatchewan economy has become as dependent on oil production as it is, one can see why Wall might be sincerely eager to delivery them. There again, maybe Wall could put his energy to better uses than trying to change the mind of a foreign government. Notwithstanding political friendships Wall has cultivated with a few mostly Republican Senators, he really has no influence on the Obama administration as a Canadian provincial premier. This leaves one to question whether the Washington trip is really de-
signed to exercise influence on Washington’s domestic policy or whether it’s really for domestic consumption back home in Saskatchewan. One suspects the latter. It’s always good for a Premier to say he’s fighting for Saskatchewan’s interests... even if he is exercising zero influence. And then there is the issue of whether such exercises become a distraction from matters Wall truly can do something about. Heaven knows, there’s a wide array of local issues in need of addressing – especially a week before the delivery of the provincial budget. For example, a recent fiscal report card by the C.D. Howe Institute ranked Saskatchewan dead last in the accuracy of its spending projections. It awarded Saskatchewan the dreaded “Pinocchio award” for cumulative spending overruns – some $4.2 billion or 38 per cent between 2002-03 and 2011-12. Isn’t this an issue more critical to Saskatchewan taxpayers? Aren’t there a hundred more such issues? Yes, Wall may have a point about the Keystone XL pipeline. But maybe his time would be better spent on problems he can actually solve.

Watoto Children’s Choir to perform in Warman
Man charged after firearm threat
A unique concert featuring a choir and dance troupe made up of orphans from Uganda will be coming to Warman on Sunday, March 17. Watoto, a holistic care program initiated to serve the dire needs of Africa and her people, is the organization beind a tour entitled Beautiful Africa: A New Generation, an evening of vibrant, original African music, dance routines and lifetransforming stories. The tour is a testimony of the new generation of leaders emerging out of Watoto. The concert at Awakening Church, 208 Main Street in Warman, begins at 10:30 a.m.
A 49-year-old Clavet resident is facing a charge of uttering a threat following an incident at a downtown business in Saskatoon the morning of Thursday, February 28. At approximately 10:00 a.m., Saskatoon Police received a report that a man was inside a business in the 300 block of 3rd Ave. North when he stated he

Big box project on target: developer Highway 305 construction progress touted as key to opening in 2015 By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Finishing touches are underway at the DQ Grill & Chill
Owners of new Dairy Queen counting down to opening day in Martensville By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
Peanut Buster Parfaits, Treatzza Pizzas and a whole range of other frozen treats, not to mention tantalizing grilled favourites, will soon be available for in Martensville. The new Dairy Queen Grill & Chill is taking shape at the south end of Centennial Drive and will be a convenient pit stop for commuters as well as those close to home looking to circumvent cooking at any given time. Heather and Cliff Karpan, along with Cliff’s brother, Marko, are the visionaries behind the project. Cliff and Marko have been working in Fort McMurray for the past few years while the family also runs a home-building business in Martensville. “We always wanted to find a way to be more settled in Martensville,” says Heather. They started looking at options three years ago and the Dairy Queen franchise seemed like a fit, so they took the plunge. Once some of the big pieces were in place – like the franchise deal, the land and talks with contractors – it was time to get training. Managers get six weeks of training, which includes 30 days of “live” training in an established restaurant. The whole process has had its challenging moments and Karpan chuckles that when stressors hit, their approach is “don’t yell it off, laugh it off.” The 67-seat restaurant will employ roughly 40 people. “We have some pretty wonderful staff already on board,”
Karpan explained. “About 60 per cent of the staff are from Martensville, 30 per cent are from areas north of Martensville and the rest from Saskatoon.” Though many staff are already hired, she said there’s still room for a few more. The Karpans do not have a fixed date for opening, but they are hoping to have a “soft opening” with friends and family around March 20 to allow all the staff to practice and become comfortable with store operations. Depending on how things go – and how prepared the staff is – the new store could be ready for its grand opening by mid-April. “At least one person from the franchise will be on-site to help us on grand opening day,” said Karpan. “The franchise also offers product, there will be giveaways and possibly a raffle. There’s lots of ideas and we’re considering which ones we’re going to do.” Cliff Karpan will be in charge of the store initially while Heather, Marko and his wife, Maureen, will be available to fill in as needed. “We have small children and want to be available to get them to school and just be there for them,” Karpan said. It appears Martensville residents are ready to have a DQ in town. “We couldn’t have asked for a more receptive welcome from the community,” said Karpan. “Their excitement is a big part of what has kept our own excitement up through tough times. We’re really excited about opening our doors and starting to serve the public.”
It’s full steam ahead for Warman StoneGate, a major big box retail development at the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and the new Highway 305. The key to the project, which is expected to have its first stores open for business in the spring of 2015, is the “phenomenal progress” being made on the new highway connecting Warman and Martensville, according to Gord Dmytruk, spokesperson for Avatex Devcorp, the Alberta-based company spearheading the development. “Construction of the new highway is going on 24-hours a day, seven days a week,” said Dmytruk. “They’re working around the clock. It’s amazing how far that road has progressed in just two months. It will be completed and paved by this fall if they keep going at this rate.” Dmytruk said the highway is adding momentum to the progress of the retail development as more companies are contacting the developer to make arrangements for lease space. A sign announcing the site of the Warman StoneGate project was unveiled Monday, March 4 alongside Centennial Boulevard on the 30-acre building site. Construction is expected to start on the initial retail buildings in May of next year and the retail complex is projected to be fully built out within three to five years. Warman StoneGate will total approximately 290,000 square feet of building space when fully developed and is designed to be a “destination” retail centre, attracting shoppers from across the region. Avatex initially unveiled plans for the big box development in the spring of 2012. The company has completed eight similar projects in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including the Cornerstone projects in Prince Albert and Lloydminster. Underground services on the building site are scheduled to be installed this summer and are being completed by KH Developments as part of Stage 5 of The Legends residential and commercial neighbourhood of Warman. Dmytruk said a number of stores have been confirmed for the project, but cannot be named at this time. However, the developer has indicated plans include “a large grocery store, additional retail stores, free-standing
Gord Dmytruk of Avatex Dev. Corp. and Mayor Sheryl Spence at the site of Warman StoneGate regional shopping centre on Monday restaurants and banks.” The company also says “a hotel is also being considered for the project.” “Warman is currently underserved for retail”, notes John Burton, president of Avatex Devcorp. “For example, it is very unusual for a community of this size to have no Canadian charter bank. Up until now, Warman residents have been using the local credit union or are going to Saskatoon for banking services. A similar situation exists with many retail needs. StoneGate will bring retail services closer to home.”
“We want to see the jobs and tax base that go with this project right here in Warman. StoneGate fits our long-term growth plan for the city – we see a major commercial node developing at the corner of Centennial and 305.” • Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence
It’s rewarding to see the retail development kick into high gear, according to Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence. “The hold-up so far has been the
new highway,” she stated. “People were wondering when they would see something happening. Well, now that the new highway is well on its way to being built, that’s really increased the momentum for this project as well. It’s happening quickly now and that’s great to see.” Spence said city council wants to see retail development in Warman and has provided key approvals for the project, including access drives, traffic lights and zoning. “We want to see the jobs and tax base that go with this project right here in Warman,” Spence added. “StoneGate fits our long-term growth plan for the city – we see a major commercial node developing at the corner of Centennial and 305.” The City of Warman is pushing forward to extend Centennial Boulevard as a four-lane arterial to connect with Highway 305. Grading and curbs and gutter will be complete this summer, with paving to be done early in 2014. The StoneGate development team includes long-term partners John Burton and Jim Richl, both of Edmonton. Doug Hobson of Corporate Realty is handling negotiations with major retailers while Dmytruk is acting as the local representative for Avatex Devcorp and is assisting on project leasing and coordination.

Kneeland awarded Kin Club’s highest honour By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
As the curtain lowered on Telemiracle 37 last Sunday, Ray Kneeland was awarded the highest honour the Kin Club of Canada has to offer. Kneeland, who operates a ranch on Rock Ridge Road between Warman and Martensville, was given the Hal Rogers Fellow Award by Telemiracle 37 Chair Kelly Watson. The honour was bestowed on Kneeland in recognition of his work raising money over the past 18 years for Kinsmen Telemiracle. Kneeland has raised a total of $257,481.26 for the cause since 1995. “I don’t know what to say,” said Kneeland when called to
the stage in the lower auditorium of TCU Place on Sunday evening, March 3, where hundreds of Kin Club volunteers, broadcast technicians and performers gathered for the postshow celebration. Kneeland was completely unaware beforehand that he was being singled out for the award. He was visibly moved when he accepted the honour. “Lots of people have done a lot of good things,” he said. “It’s not just about me.” Kneeland joins some lofty colleagues as a Hal Rogers Fellow, including Bob McGrath, Wayne Gretzky, Rick Hansen, Celine Dion and Mike “Pinball” Clemons. The award was named after Hal Rogers, the founder of Kin Canada clubs, who started
Saskatchewan Arts Board grants provided to local artists Two area artists received grants from the Saskatchewan Arts Board (SAB) recently. Warman musician Christopher Mason was awarded a $3,500 Indigenous Pathways Initiatives grant fom the SAB to focus on songwriting. The Indigenous Pathways Initiatves grant program aims to increase access to public funding by Indigenous artists in Saskatchewan, either to develop their artistic/cultural practices or to share their art, skills and teachings. Osler visual artist Clint Neufeld has been awarded a $3,600 Independent Artists grant from the SAB to create and produce four light boxes to complete a series of seven images that investigate notions of image and language. Independent Artists grants
support the creation, development or performance of new work in any art form, professional development for artists and research in the arts. These grants support the ongoing development of artistic practice in Saskatchewan as well as independent curators and critics in all disciplines. For the quarter ending December 31, 2012, the SAB awarded over 160 grants to individuals and organizations, totalling more than $1.4 million. Arts Board funding supports a variety of initiatives, including organizations that provide ongoing programs in the arts, the creative work of professional artists, community art projects and the engagement of professional artists to work in schools with students and teachers.

For more than a decade, the Valley West Community Justice Committee (VWCJC) has been an advocate for restorative justice in the region. The committee provides a voice for victims of crime, and also gives offenders a chance to make amends directly to those they’ve harmed. Along the way, it helps ease the burden on the court system, and allows communities to deal with social problems in a practical, constructive way. One of the people who embraced that vision, and tirelessly promoted the work of the committee, was Earl Keeler of Delisle, who served as Chair of the VWCJC for the past five years. Keeler died at Royal University Hospital in late February as a result of complications from cancer. Earl Keeler was 75 years old. Keeler’s funeral service was held Monday, March 4 in Saskatoon. Members of the community justice committee were deeply saddened to learn of his passing, saying his commitment to restorative justice and community well-being played a key role in the committee’s work for many years. Keeler provided a steady, calm hand at the helm of the committee, according to Judith Morris of Martensville, Acting Chair of the VWCJC. “Earl has been there right from the start,” said Morris, who is employed as the police clerk in Martensville with the Warman-Martensville RCMP detachment. “He was an integral part of our committee, and was instrumental in keeping it going. He did a lot of presentations to a lot of communi-

In an interview with the Clark’s Crossing Gazette in June, 2011, Keeler noted that the mediation process is beneficial, but it relies heavily on volunteers. In the end, he said, it was rewarding work. Keeler became involved in the committee after going through the restorative justice process himself after he was the victim of a break-in at his residence. He said it opened his eyes to many aspects of the justice system, and he felt that others should also be able to benefit from the process. “He served as vice-chair of the committee from 2005 to 2008, and then took over the role of Chair in 2008 until the present,” said Morris. “He was very committed and was always very active. He loved the idea of restorative justice, because it gives the victims a voice and a say within our judicial system.” Morris said many people have a mistaken percep-
tion that mediation outside the court system is an easy way out for offenders. “In reality, it’s much more difficult for offenders, because they are put in a position where they come face to face with people they have harmed,” she said. “In a situation like that they realize, and are often shocked, that they have hurt someone. When they recognize that, I would say that 95 per cent of the offenders are very remorseful. That’s why we have a very high success rate with this program.” For victims of crimes, the opportunity to talk with mediators and confront the offender is also part of the healing process, said Morris. “It’s a support system for everyone - for the victim, the offender, and the community,” she said. Morris said the VWCJC is always looking for volunteers. Anyone interested in becoming involved in the VWCJC is encouraged to contact Morris at the RCMP detachment satellite office in Martensville. The commitee’s annual general meeting is slated for Thursday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Martensville Civic Centre.
Province leaves legal drinking age untouched The legal drinking age in Saskatchewan will remain at 19 years. “We have heard from stakeholder groups and from people across the province that government should not change the drinking age in Saskatchewan,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said. “While there were also some people that supported reducing the age to 18 years, it became clear that the major-
ity urged government to maintain the status quo.” The legal drinking age in Saskatchewan is consistent with the majority of other provinces. Only Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec have lower drinking ages (18 years). The issue of possibly lowering Saskatchewan’s legal drinking age to 18 was considered by government as a result of a resolution passed in November at the Saskatchewan Party’s annual convention.

Chiefs have edge on Quakers so far in playoff series By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Being down by a goal in the first 30 seconds of Game 1 wasn’t the way the Delisle Chiefs wanted their Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) playoff series against the Saskatoon Quakers to start. But they battled back to take the game 5-4 in double overtime on Wednesday, February 27, and haven’t looked back since. The Chiefs carried the momentum into their second game at home on Sunday, March 3, winning the contest 4-1. Game 3, slated for Warman at the Legends Centre, was played Wednesday, March 6, following the Gazette press deadline. Ashton Donnelly was the hero for the Chiefs in Game 1, scoring 4 goals - including the tying goal and the game winner - and assisting on the other Chiefs goal by Justin Kerr. “We got off to a bad start,” conceded Chiefs coach Dave Norris. “But the guys stayed calm and didn’t let it bother them. They rallied back and we were able to come out on top in a long, tough game.” In Game 2, Kerr had a 4 point night, scoring a hat trick and providing an assist on a goal by Chiefs’ captain Andre Lalonde. The fourth game of the series is set for the Delisle Arena on Friday, March 8 at 8:00 p.m. Game 5, if necessary, will be played Saturday, March 9 at Harold Latrace arena in Saskatoon at 7:45 p.m. Game 6, if necessary, is set for Delisle Arena on Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30. Game 7 will go Wednesday, March 13 at Latrace at 7:30 p.m. In the other PJHL north division series, the Saskatoon Royals took a 2 games to 0 lead after downing the Tri Town Thunder by scores of 5-4 and 7-1. Game 3 was set for Tuesday, March 5 after the Gazette press deadline.

Jake Davidson of the Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats (above) makes a timely pad save to preserve the Wildcat’s shutout during a Centre Four Hockey League playoff game against Melfort.

WHS wrestlers advance to provincial finals Three members of the Warman High School senior wrestling team have advanced to the provincial finals this weekend. Anthony Hallborg, Mason Switzer Nelson and Mankomal Gill will be looking to capture the school’s first provincial medal. Jesse Reis, Erin Hoffman and Matt Linner started the wrestling program at Warman High School last year. “We run a junior program (Grades 6-8) and a senior program (9-12),” said Linner. “We had 10 wrestlers in senior wrestling this year.” Linner added that three of the senior wrestlers qualified for provincial finals by virtue of their performance at the regional competition last weekend. Anthony Hallborg placed first in the 65-kilogram class; Mason Switzer Nelson placed third in the 83-kilogram class; and Mankomal Gill placed fourth in

Other wrestlers on the team include Micah Heide, Tyler Hume, Brent Reimer, Nik Anderson and Simon Epp. “We are looking for the first provincial medal of our program,” said Linnell. “Antho-
ny won the first Regional Gold Medal for our program. Last year, two students made it to provincials and finished 5th (Jaspaul Kaler) and 6th (Inder Kaler).”

BLADES COACH REACHES MILESTONE Saskatoon Blades Head Coach and General Manager Lorne Molleken has reached the 600 win milestone in his WHL coaching career. Molleken reached the milestone in tonight’s win over the visiting Brandon Wheat Kings. With the win, Molleken becomes only the second coach in WHL history to hit the 600 win milestone. Molleken is in his 16th season behind the bench as a WHL Head Coach, having spent time with the Regi-
na Pats, Moose Jaw Warriors and the Blades. He also coached his 1000th WHL game earlier this season, with only four coaches in league history having reached that milestone. Molleken and the Blades also recently won their 40th game of the season, marking the 5th straight season they’ve accomplished the goal. Only 8 other Canadian Hockey League franchises have set a similar mark as the Blades.

Never too late or too mighty to learn lessons For 18 games and two periods, the Saskatoon Blades couldn’t lose. Then, it was 20:45 worth of watching a “House of Cards” fall apart in slow motion right before the eyes of the Warriors and 3,462 fans at Moose Jaw’s Mosaic Place. The winning streak ended Sunday when the Bridge City Bunch let a 4-0 lead after 40 minutes slip away in a 5-4 overtime setback to the Warriors. “We got up 4-0 and we thought it was going to be easy again,” explained Lorne Molleken, “We took the foot off the gas pedal and we took some unnecessary penalties and lost our focus. “Lesson learned.” It was different emotions from Friday’s 4-1 home-ice triumph over Brandon when the Blades’ G-M and head coach recorded his 600th career W.H.L. coaching victory while fifth-year Saskatoon right winger Josh Nicholls picked up his 300th career point…just the ninth player in franchise history to do so. Now, it’s about rebounding and realizing that things won’t come easy, according to Bridge City Bunch associate coach Dave Struch, “I think it
has to be said (avoiding overconfidence)…especially going into the playoffs. We still have to clinch the division and that’s a big goal of ours.” Despite the Sunday meltdown, the point that comes with losing in extra time gave the Blades a 41-21-4 record going into the second-last week of the regular season. By the time you read this, Saskatoon could be East Division pennant winners for the third time in five seasons. They entered the week with a Magic Number of four points…any combination of points earned by the Bridge City Bunch or lost by the Prince Albert Raiders totaling four would decide the issue in the Blades’ favour. ***** UPCOMING GAMES – Less than two weeks remain in the regular season and the Bridge City Bunch will finish up their home schedule this weekend. On Friday, the Medicine Hat Tigers roar into Credit Union Centre before the Regina Pats come in Saturday. Both games are 7:05 starts with the Blades’ annual awards presentations happening on the ice following the Saturday contest. Next Tuesday, with the University Cup taking over C.U.C., Saskatoon hits the road for a
trio of tilts…the first on Tuesday in Edmonton against the defending W.H.L. champion and Eastern Conference-leading Oil Kings. Game time is 8 p.m. with the radio broadcasts starting at the bottom of the hour before puck drop on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL) ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEMONTH – In a month where the Bridge City Bunch ran the table, winning all 15 games, the choice was tough to make…and, yet it was an easy decision in the end. Goaltender Andrey Makarov played every minute of every February victory, allowing just 26 goals on 497 shots for a 1.72 goals against-average and a save percentage of .948. The 19-year-old Buffalo Sabres’ property had two shutouts in the month as he claimed the franchise records for shutouts in a single season (now 7) and in a career (now 9). ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEWEEK – Makarov was in line to take this writer’s choice honour until the total team meltdown Sunday in Moose Jaw. With the Blades’ fourline depth, labeling them as 1st line, 2nd line, etc…or Top 6 and Bottom 6…is frowned
on within the team. So, when looking at Nick Zajac, maybe the label, “lesser light” should be utilized when it comes to the sophomore’s offensive production. Except for last week when the 17-year-old scored twice, including the game winner at home over Brandon last Friday, and added a pair of assists for four points

Langham seniors enjoy monthly potluck supper By SELA BALZER
Langham Museum & Langham Plus 60 Club Correspondent
An amazing variety of main dishes were set on the buffet table for the plus-30 people who attended Langham’s Plus 60 monthly Potluck Supper on February 27. Among the variety of equally impressive dessert items were several fruit pies; these were generically referred to as ‘Orchard Berry’ pies so no recall was required. Haha! As has been done in the past the February birthday celebrants were invited to open the buffet. Ann Mierau accepted the invitation; Verna Thiessen was not present. Darlene Dear was the lucky winner of the coffee hostess appreciation gift and door prize recipients were ‘Foada’ aka Allan Balzer and Paul Ikert. In her after-dinner announcements Doreen Nickel called attention to the current contest of finding a new name for the Plus 60’s Group and the Speers Dinner Theater daytrip, this being the first of the 2013 group excursions. Doreen encouraged everyone to get involved by submitting their
‘new name’ suggestions as soon as possible and then gave the floor to Doris Tarasoff to elaborate on the Speers Dinner Theater trip. Doris reported that individuals wishing to attend the Sunday Matinee performance on April 7 will be asked to pay $25 each for their theater ticket and that the club will pick up the cost of the transportation. The two-act performance of ‘Homecoming’ is a heart-warming and humorous story about family values and relationships as a farmer faces retirement. Those wishing to attend are asked to please reserve their seat by calling Sela Balzer, 306-283-4381. To close off the evening, hosts Wally and Doreen Nickel provided a copy of the Harris, SK drama production of ‘The Pull of the Land’. Those who wished to do so viewed the performance while others chose to quietly play kaiser. Seriously, we did try to play quietly, however we did notice the volume on the video kept getting louder. Museum coming events: March 27 Potluck Supper; April 3 Depression Days Dinner.

Town recognized for temporary land donation CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
also encouraged to donate the use of their equipment during the growing season, Colborn added. Curt Gessell said the idea for growing a crop and donating the proceeds isn’t new. “It’s being done in many communities,” Gessell said. “Last fall, the world record combine harvest raised a ton of money for Children’s Camps International. But, it is new to our community. Someday that 200 acres will be filled with bustling streets and houses filled with families and playgrounds filled with children, but until then our town has given us the opportunity to farm that land for the betterment of the community.” Gessell said three years ago a similar idea was attempted but there was no land available at the time to make it happen. While the money is an invaluable part of the campaign, Colborn added there are other intangible goals that are equally important. “It’s for the kids and the families of this area,” said Colborn. “It’s all about quality of life. It’s also about agriculture – a subject that I’m passionate about – and educating our kids about where their food comes from and how it is produced in an environmentally sustainable way.” He said the current initiative is similar to campaigns that raised funds to build the hockey arena in 1967-70 and the golf course in 1997-2001.

THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS
Horoscopes CAPRICORN
CANCER
AQUARIUS
LEO
Park it, Capricorn. You’ve been running around and paying attention to little. Someone near and dear to your heart has something to discuss with you. Travel is on the agenda. Near or far, Aquarius, you will have a great time. An email bears a great surprise. Celebrate with a night out with loved ones.
PISCES
The door of opportunity opens up. Think twice before you enter it, Pisces. You’ve been down this road before. A deadline encroaches.
ARIES
Enough thinking, Aries. You’ve looked at the situation from every angle. You know the answer. Now it’s time to act. Flowers bring cheer.
TAURUS
Impulse buys wreak havoc on a dear friend’s house. Be there for them, Taurus, but do not be an enabler. Professional help may be needed.
GEMINI
Still hesitating, Gemini? Perhaps it’s a sign. A series of home improvement projects comes to a satisfactory end. Show your appreciation.
Cool it, Cancer. Actions speak louder than words. A gift from a loved one gets the weekend off to a great start. Use the momentum to make a difference. Do you dare, Leo? Yes, you do. Take an acquaintance up on their invite, and it will be the start of a beautiful friendship. A note clues you in to a situation brewing at home.
VIRGO
Bravado is an apt description for you this week, Virgo. You attack everything with finesse, and the right people notice. Prepare for a nice reward.
LIBRA
Many challenges lie ahead. Will you be up to the task, Libra? You bet you will be. A weekend shopping trip results in more than you bargained for.
SCORPIO
Self-gratification is the theme of this week, Scorpio. Go ahead and treat yourself. You’ve earned it. The cornerstone of your beliefs is challenged.
SAGITTARIUS
Good fortune shines on you, and everything is golden this week. Show your appreciation with a little get-together for family and friends, Sagittarius.
