Langham town office moves into newly renovated space By HILARY KLASSEN
“The former offices were getting quite cramped and old,” said administrator Bev Dovell. “There was paneling on the walls and the office needed to be renovated.” It became a question of whether to renovate that office or renovate something else. Council chose to take over the former fire hall, instead. The project started last fall when a huge garage door that fire trucks had driven through at one time in history was converted to a windowed store front. The interior was transformed from a garage with a bunch of overhead pipes to an entirely new configuration. A couple of offices were carved out of a space slightly larger than what the staff had occupied previously. The offices are glassed in to allow plenty of natural light to filter through the front window.
hklassen@ccgazette.ca
The Langham town office has moved, but not really to a new address. The ground level of the existing facility has been extensively renovated and is now operational.
Crush wins PSSD byelection Ken Crush is the newest member of the Board of Trustees for Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD). Crush, a retired teacher who lives in the RM of Corman Park near Langham, won a landslide victory in the byelection for PSSD Subdivision 3, which was held on Wednesday, March 7. Results of the election were released on Thursday, March 7 by the school division office. Crush won the election after he garnered 86 votes. The other candidates in the byelection were Nicole Wollman (19 votes) and Nicole McLaren (7 votes).
“The old office space will become the council chambers,” noted administrative assistant Darcey Bomok. Council had been sharing an already cramped space with health region nurses. In addition to not having much room to work in, the configuration was not very conducive to leaving files around. The mayor and six town councillors are, according to administration, enjoying the change. As with any move there is sorting to be done and the old “keep or toss” question comes up. “We’ll find out what we need and what we can live without,” said Dovell. The existing furniture and equipment were all moved down to the new space and any new expenditures related to the renovation and move will be budgeted for as the need arises. Bomok noted all that’s
will be artwork on the walls,” she said. All in all, it is reportedly a welcome, fresh change

A woman was injured in a head-on collision between a car and a semi-trailer truck on Highway 7 on Tuesday morning, March 12. Warman RCMP officers, as well as MD Ambulance and emergency personnel responded to the scene of the crash, which occurred near the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS) Cory mine turn off. The single female occupant of the car was taken to hospital by EMS with undetermined injuries. Traffic was slowed in both directions around the crash scene and was delayed for about three hours as RCMP members, tow trucks, and fire personnel cleared the roadway.

Emergency response personnel from Martensville, Warman and other communities got some first-hand experience with the new STARS air ambulance service last week, learning how to guide the aircraft safely in to the scene of an accident during daylight, dusk and darkness. The firefighters and emergency responders also became familiar with the STARS helicopter so they are able to deal with any “hard landings” as well as simulated loading and unloading trauma victims into the aircraft. RCMP members from the Warman detachment and MD Ambulance paramedics also took part in the training exercise – the first of its kind in the area. The simulations were carried out at a field in Martensville’s Kinsmen Park, just west of the ball diamonds. Martensville Deputy Chief Russ Austin told reporters at the event on Wednesday, March 6 that while fire crews were familiar with some aspects of the STARS operation, the hands-on session provides a critical element in their training. “Since we heard STARS was coming to this area we’ve had classroom training sessions with them, but this is the first chance we’ve had to get a look at the bird and actually bring in all the different components that the team needs to successfully carry out a rescue operation,” said Austin. “We have members of our department, as well as our colleagues from Warman, Hepburn, Dalmeny, Osler and Langham here. We’ve also got the RCMP and MD Ambulance here to help us prepare for any kind of emergency response.” Martensville Fire Department Lieutenant Larry Sigfusson said the STARS air ambulance is increasingly being utilized in the Saskatoon region on a round-the-clock basis, so emergency responders on the ground need to be able to han-

First responders prepare to load an accident victim into the STARS air ambulance helicopter during a simulation exercise held in Martensville dle its arrival and depature in all types of conditions. “One of the reasons we’re doing this training exercise is to familiarize the local fire departments with the STARS landing zone operations,” said Sigfusson. “We need to know what to do in daylight and also during twilight hours and in the darkness of night.” Sigfusson said Martensville has one of the few designated landing zone training sites in the region. It is also a central location for all departments in the area and is in close proximity to the helicopter’s base at the Saskatoon International Airport. “It’s a good training site because it allows a lot of people to participate in the exercises,” he said, adding this is the first of several hands-on training sessions. “We have to know the procedures that STARS uses when evacuating a patient from a scene,” said Sigfusson. “We also need to know what to do in the
event of a helicopter accident. We need to be able to get the crew out and turn off any emergency shutoff systems. We need to know where the fire extinguishers are.” The aircraft operators used night vision goggles to enable them to navigate the terrain as night fell. Constant radio contact between the STARS helicopter pilot and emergency personnel on the ground was maintained during the training exercise, which began shortly after 6:00 p.m. and continued for several hours as darkness closed in. The area near Kinsmen Park was cordoned off and bystanders were kept away from the area while the training exercise was underway. The STARS air ambulance was utilized a day after the training exercise as part of the emergency response to a two-vehicle head-on crash near Vanscoy on Highway 7 on Thursday, March 7.
The space station flew directly over Martensville for a brief period during its orbit around the earth. During the 10-minute interval shortly after 1:15 p.m., a group of Grade 6 students in Carmen Kingsbury’s class were able to speak directly to Hadfield, asking a series of questions related to the space station and the astronaut’s daily routine. Hadfield, who took over as Commander of the International Space Station on Wednesday, March 13, is currently on his third tour of duty with the Canadian Space Agency program. The audio link with the space station was achieved through a combination of hightechnology computer software and good old-fashioned reliable ham radio equipment. Members of the Meewasin Amateur Radio Society set up antennas outside the school and a computer control desk in the school gym to coordinate the audio hookup. The timing of the radio contact had to be established with pin-point precision because of the short duration of time that the space station, travelling at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour, was orbiting overhead. For the Grade 5, 6 and 7 students, as well as one Grade 1 class, talking to the Canadian astronaut and seeing the view of the earth from the space sta-

Selected students in Kingsbury’s Grade 6 class asked Hadfield questions during a live radio hookup with the International Space Station on Monday, March 11. tion projected onto a big screen at the front of the gym was an exciting and moving experience. Carmen Kingsbury said the class received word just before Christmas that their application to speak to Hadfield had been approved, but they didn’t know exactly when it would happen. “We got word last Tuesday, March 5, that it was set for today,” said Kingsbury in an interview after the event. “At first there was just a murmur of excitement, but as the kids started following Chris on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, the buzz just got bigger and bigger, and this past week the whole school is brimming with excitement. It’s definitely the biggest day of the school year for us so
far.” She said they couldn’t have accomplished the feat without the amateur ham radio club, particularly Devon Racicot, a member of the club who has a child in Grade 1 in the school. Kingsbury said she hopes the students got the message that if they’re passionate about something, they’ll be able to achieve their dreams. Valley Manor School Principal Garth Harrison said the event took a lot of planning, but he’s relieved it went off without a hitch. “The radio club has been doing a lot of test runs,” he noted. “Just yesterday they had to move the antennae. So there was some last-minute tweaking needed. But it worked out great. I was very impressed.”

the crash occurred shortly before 4:00 p.m., when a westbound Nissan SUV attempted to make a left turn to go south onto Wanuskewin Road into Saskatoon. A white Chevrolet Silverado half-ton truck was proceeding north from Saskatoon and attempting to cross the median at Highway 11. Both vehicles collided at the intersection. The force of the collision spun the Chevrolet truck into a second half-ton truck that was waiting at a stop sign. Warman RCMP, Warman Fire Department and MD Ambulance responded to the incident. The male passenger in the Nissan SUV, as well as a male passenger in the Chevrolet Silverado half-ton, were transported to Royal University Hospital in stable condition with undetermined injuries. The female driver of the Nissan and the male driver of the Chevrolet half-ton both escaped injuries as a result of the collision. Weather conditions at the time of the collision were

Emergency response personnel with MD Ambulance and Warman Fire Department load a victim of a three-vehicle crash into a waiting ambulance on Thursday, March 7. windy with some blowing snow, but visibility was good. There were some slippery and icy sections on the highway with finger drifts of snow but the intersection itself was free of drifts. The collision was one of four serious incidents that occured on area highways in a space of three hours. A head-on collision on Highway 7 east of Vanscoy occurred shortly after 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, according to Warman RCMP. Four people were injured in that crash. A 20-year-old male and two 19-year old females were transported by MD Ambulance to Royal University Hospital in stable condition. A 21-yearold female was transported
to RUH by STARS Air Ambulance in serious condition. Sgt. Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP Detachment said witnesses reported that a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV collided with a Honda Civic. The highway was closed for a short period of time to allow for the STARS helicopter to land. Gherasim said while alcohol does not appear to have been a factor, road conditions were icy at the time and are believed to have contributed to the collision. The police investigation is continuing and no charges have been laid so far. MD Ambulance also reported a head-on collision on Thursday, March 7. The crash occurred on the Dalmeny Access Road just off Highway 16.

Government gets drinking age right
C O M M E N T A R Y
Wall should empower you more By COLIN CRAIG
Canadian Taxpayers Association
If a neighbour knocked on your door and asked you to invest in his invention, would you be able to weight the pros and cons and make a decision on whether to invest your own money? Or what if your financial advisor asked if you wanted to invest in a higher risk investment portfolio or a lower risk, lower payoff option – could you figure out how to instruct her on which path to take? Most people would answer “yes” and “yes” to the two previous questions. After all, investment opportunities present themselves to people all the time in one form or another and we all somehow figure out what to do with our money. Why then does the government take the power to make some of those decisions away from you? There are all kinds of taxpayer-funded government programs out there that take your money and then hand it over to businesses through grants and sweetheart loans. Whether it’s a government loan or a cash handout, when businesses do happen to succeed, guess who keeps the profits? Yes, the business owner, not taxpayers who indirectly footed the bill and took on the risk. And if the business fails, taxpayers lose money just the same. Instead of the government taking money from your pocket and giving it to that neighbour you (and probably your bank) already decided to turn down, governments should simply leave more money in your pocket through lower taxes in the first place. Doing so would allow you to buy goods and services from new or existing businesses in Saskatchewan or perhaps invest in a business of your own. In both situations you would be helping to create jobs. Last year the Wall government moved to empower you with more of those decisions by cancelling a government program that gave your money to the film industry. As the industry had grown dependent on big handouts from taxpayers, they raised quite the stink about the funding cut. They painted a picture that suggested the government’s existing subsidy program was important as it created all kinds of spin off jobs. However, what they neglected to tell you is the provincial government provided more than just the one subsidy program for the industry; it also funded things such as the industry’s sound stage in Regina. Proponents also forgot to mention many film companies receive generous subsidies from the federal government too. In other words, the ‘small government handouts’ that ‘created all the jobs’ weren’t so small at all. There was also no mention of the fact jobs were killed by the subsidies as well. After all, when money is taken from your pocket, those are dollars you no longer have to support local businesses. While the film subsidy ship has sailed, proponents of the industry did raise a good point – there are plenty of other industries receiving handouts from the Saskatchewan government. For example, the film industry noted the potash industry receives handouts for head office jobs located in the province. According to Enterprise Saskatchewan, the government provides “a $100,000 allowance per job” and is “available for qualifying corporate office positions.” Good point – those subsidies should be phased out too. Another worth getting rid of would be the subsidies for those who invest in laboursponsored investment funds. Hopefully the Wall government’s upcoming budget phases out other business subsidy programs in favour of phasing in lower taxes for you in the first place.

In all the talk about the new Saskatchewan, what sometimes gets lost is that not everything about the old Saskatchewan was bad. There again, perhaps it is time every now and again to refresh old attitudes. The Saskatchewan Party government’s decision to not change the drinking age from its current 19 years speaks to both issues. Some are already questioning whether the announcement by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Minister Donna Harpauer to keep the status quo and not lower the drinking age to 18 years is just another example of a risk-averse province holding on to its past. The drinking age in Manitoba and Alberta is 18 years. And with a worse record of underage drinking and underage drinking and driving than either neighbouring province, there’s an argument that Saskatchewan’s more prudish approach simply isn’t working, anyway. But a province - always overly sensitive about its perception as a little more backwards than more urban provinces - shouldn’t ever have to apologize for doing the right thing. And lest anyone think that lowering the drinking age to 18 years is the right thing, consider the tragic death of 17-year-old Jaiden Lynn Slaferek. Slaferek was the Grade 12 student from Qu’Appelle who plunged 12 metres to her death from the catwalk above the stage at Regina’s Conexus Arts Centre on Jan. 15, 2012. Jaiden and two companions, 19-year-old Mason Smyth and 21-year-old Todd Horrocks, were in a place they shouldn’t have been in. The trio went to great lengths to be there. They got on a freight elevator, went up a series of stairs and through several unlocked doors including one reading “Danger, Do Not Enter” and under a girder to gain access to the catwalk that is no longer in use because of safety concerns. They did what young people sometimes do: They made some very bad choices when their judgment was impaired by alcohol. At the time of her death from head trauma, Jaiden Slaferek’s blood alcohol content was four times the legal limit - some place between .30 and .37. Certainly, she was far too drunk to be navigating a 70-centimetre wide

catwalk. They had been drinking at a house party earlier and more alcohol was snuck into the high school dance at the Conexus Art Centre. Now, some would choose to view this event as evidence that the age 19 drinking age isn’t working anyway. But Jaiden’s father Rick Slaferek views it as a call to tighten up the law as it applies to those who would provide alcohol to underage kids. “The whole issue seems to be acceptable in our society today,” Slaferek told reporters after his daughter’s coroner’s inquest. “I would really like to see it start at home that we clamp down on that.
“You get close to grad and multitudes of parents buy their kids liquor. They’re not 19. We need them to feel there are consequences.” Of course, the issue is a complicated one. Many parents feel that under-age kids drinking in the controlled environment of a house party is a lesser evil than allowing their teenagers to sneak away to drink or drink and drive. There is legitimacy to this point as well. However, Slaferek does seem to have a point that maybe we do need to rethink our approach. In our rural culture, the drunken bush party is often seen as a right-of-passage for both rural and urban kids. And until we see a tragedy like that of the Slaferek family, we assume that is just the way it has to be. Sometimes it is important to re-examine our old way of thinking. But sometimes it’s also important to recognize what we are already doing works best.

HealthLine number changing to 811 The Government of Saskatchewan is making access to 24/7 health advice easier by changing the province’s HealthLine number to 811. “People can now access HealthLine for professional health advice any time, by simply dialing 811 from anywhere in the province,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “HealthLine is a key part of our primary health care strategy to improve access to health services and I encourage Saskatchewan residents to take advantage of this valuable resource.” Saskatchewan joins several other jurisdictions across
the country in using 811 for its confidential health information and support telephone line. The old 10-digit HealthLine number (1-877-800-0002) will continue to work for a minimum of two years to ensure uninterrupted access to the service. HealthLine services are available free of charge 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are offered in English, with translation in more than 100 languages. “Anyone with a health question or concern can call HealthLine,” HealthLine Director Roberta Wiest said. “We have an experienced and
specially-trained staff, who can help callers make decisions about their health care options in a safe and confidential manner.” HealthLine is staffed by Registered Nurses who assess callers’ symptoms and provide them with the most appropriate health support or information. Specially-trained social workers are also available to provide mental health and addictions crisis support. HealthLine answers an average of 5,800 calls per month. More information on HealthLine is available at www. health.gov.sk.ca/healthline.

Radisson centennial planning shifts into high gear Weekend of August 9-11 circled for community celebration loaded with music, history, food and fun By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Preparations for the Town of Radisson’s 100th annivesrary celebration are shifting into high gear. A kick-off barbecue celebration is scheduled for Friday, April 12 at the Radisson community hall, according to Walter Kyliuk, chair of the organizing committee for the celebration. “The excitement is definitely ramping up,” said Kyliuk in an interview on Friday, March 8. “We’re getting the word out any way we can and we’re looking for a big crowd at the celebration.” Kyliuk said the kickoff barbecue will also feature a silent auction and entertainment by talented local musicians. The Town of Radisson was founded in 1913 when the site was selected along the railroad line. Access to a clean, secure source of water was one of the big factors in the town’s establishement and has helped ensure the town’s survival and
growth in the intervening years, according to Kyliuk. The town is celebrating its centennial at a three-day weekend event August 9, 10 and 11. The event is planned to coincide with the town’s 92nd agricultural fair – an annual homecoming event that regularly pulls in several hundred people. “We’re expecting those numbers to swell considerably once everyone hears about the special celebration,” said Kyliuk. “Lots of family members traditionally come back for reunions that weekend. That’s one of the reasons we are tying the celebration to those dates.” Among the highlights of the Radisson Centennial Celebration in August will be the unveiling of a special mural depicting a number of scenes from the town’s history. The painting, by Radisson resident Richard Widdifield, was commissioned by the centennial committee last fall. Widdifield has been researching the history of the community and the significance of every scene depicted in the mural will be explained in an accompanying booklet. “It’s a very special way of capturing the history of this community,” said Kyliuk. “We’re really looking forward to having it on public display.” People will have a chance to
Two killed in head-on crash near Aberdeen Two people were killed in a head-on crash five kilometers north of Aberdeen on Friday, March 8. The collision involved a southbound car and a northbound van. The victims, a 55-year-old female and a 67-yearold male, were declared dead at the scene. Both of the deceased were travelling in the southbound car. The driver and lone occupant of the van, a 33-year-old male, was transported by MD Ambulance to Royal University Hospital in serious condition. The collision occurred on Highway 41 at about 8:25 a.m.,
according to Sgt. Paul Dawson. Weather conditions at the time of the collision were foggy with slippery sections of highway. Emergency responders, including Aberdeen Fire Department, RCMP and MD Ambulance were on the scene shortly after the accident. The highway was closed to traffic for several hours while police investigated the collision. An RCMP traffic analyst assisted with the investigation, which was ongoing even after the highway reopened at about 2:30 p.m. on Friday, March 8. Police have not released the names of the deceased.
view the work-in-progress at the kickoff celebration on April 12, according to Kyliuk. Other highlights of the centennial celebration in August include the parade, which will see some unusual entries this year, said Kyliuk. “We have an eight-horse hitch team of Clydesdales coming from Wolseley,” he stated. “This team is exceptional. It takes 50 person-hours to get this team ready to show at events. They’ve won prizes throughout western Canada and the northern US. Last year they placed third in
the Calgary Stampede.” Other things to watch for in the parade include an antique calliope organ from Saskatoon’s Western Development Museum, and a vintage 1951 Saskatchewan Transportation Company bus. “That bus is almost a museum in itself,” said Kyliuk. “A local collector, Norm Hiebert, has made the arrangements for that bus to be in the parade.” Details of the centennial celebration are available on the Town of Radisson website at www.radisson.sasktelwebhosting.com .

Construction underway on new Martensville Cemetery By TERRY PUGH

Construction work on the Martensville cemetery is now in full swing.

Martensville City Council voted at its regular meeting on Tuesday, March 5 to award the contract for Phase 1 of the cemetery to Nemanishen Contracting of Langham. The bid from Nemanishen was the lowest of four submitted and includes construction and paving of roads as well as grading, seeding, fencing and landscaping. The site for the cemetery is a 10-acre parcel of land a short distance east of Martensville in the RM of Corman Park on the southeast corner of the intersection of Township Road 384 and Range Road 3052. The land was acquired through an arrangement with the Ranch Ehrlo Society, which saw the title to the 10-acre parcel transferred to the City of Martensville in exchange for the Ranch Ehrlo facility hooking into the municipal sewage system. The cemetery site received the necessary approvals from the RM of Corman Park and the Province of Saskatchewan last August. Since then, a design for the cemetery was prepared by Hilton Landmarks Inc. and tenders for grading and seeding were accepted. Nemanishen Contracting
won the bid process with a price of $637,830, not including taxes. The bids were submitted to Catterall & Wright, the consulting engineers contracted by the City of Martensville for the project. A recommendation from the engineers to award the job to Nemanishen Contracting was then submitted to council, where it was accepted. The initial work of hauling the fill for the cemetery to bring it up to grade began Thursday, March 7, according to Dave Bosch, director of community services for the City of Martensville. “The contract states that the work on Phase 1 will be completed by October,” said Bosch. Burials may begin this fall once the site is finished, but it’s more likely to be the spring of 2014 before everything is in place to begin operations, added Bosch. “The site will still have to be surveyed for the plots,” he noted, adding the record-keeping, sale of plots and other details will have to be finalized as well. Phase 1 of the cemetery development involves roughly two to three acres of the total 10acre site, said Bosch. “It is designed to be done in three stages over many years,” he explained. “Phase 1 involves completing the first portion of the cemetery to the final stages. It just won’t take up the entire 10 acres. Phase 1 should be sufficient for our needs for the next 20 to 25 years. Then, once it fills up, there will be space to
RM votes to ask province for lights, reduced speed limit on Highway 16 By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
Increasing volumes of traffic and continued development along a busy highway corridor has resulted in the RM of Corman Park voting to begin the process of making improvements. The RM is under some pressure to address upgrades needed at the congested and often dangerous intersection of 71st St and Highway 16. The original cost for a temporary intersection was put forward in 2008 at $1.5 million but is now estimated to be four times higher. Traffic at the intersection has increased considerably since that time. “At the time nobody ever guessed that this many years later this would be an issue,” said Councillor Joanne Janzen. “I personally use that intersection every day. At certain times of day it’s not an issue but, at other times, you better be looking twice and holding your breath.” The cost of a permanent intersection is very similar to that of a temporary one and some councillors prefer a permanent solution. There are past and pending agreements with developers on either side of the highway. Councillors discussed the difference in speed limits on Highway 16 between the Marquis Drive intersection – which is at 90 km/h – and the 71st St junction which is at 110 km/h, noting that the former is under city jurisdiction and the latter under the RM. Councillor Gord Gunoff made a motion to write to the Ministry of Highways, asking them
to place flashing lights on Highway 16 at 71st St. and to reduce the speed limit to 90 km/h. The motion passed unanimously.
JOINT MEETING
The entire council took a recess at noon and ventured downtown to meet with Saskatoon city councilors for a working lunch. Reeve Judy Harwood said, “It was a good meeting and we were able to discuss issues of mutual interest.” With continued economic growth in the city and increased development in the RM, conversations about interests that overlap are increasingly necessary. Harwood said the two groups plan to meet like this every six months.
SUBDIVISION PETITITON
Council also heard from a couple of ratepayers, Ben Epp and Phillip Dyck, with regards to flooding concerns while George Buhler and Tim Friesen of Rheinland brought a petition to council asking for the subdivision of portions of their community.
HERE BUT NOT HERE
Technology allowed one councilor to participate in the RM of Corman Park council meeting on Monday, March 4. Division 1 Councilor John Germs’ image dominated the screen in council chambers when he joined them via Skype. At times his “presence” was preempted by other displays on the screen, but who can blame him for escaping from an endless Saskatchewan winter to warmer climes, and opting to vote from a distance.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
A 10-acre parcel of landon the southeast corner of Range Road 3052 and Township Road 384 (Martensville Grid) in the RM of Corman Park, next to Ranch Ehrlo, has been selected for the Martensville Cemetery. Construction of Phase 1, which will see approximately two to three acres of the area fully developed, is set to begin construction this month. develop Phase 2, and eventually Phase 3.” Bosch said the site will have “levelling to grade” and will be seeded to grass in the fall once the roads have been constructed and paved. It will also have perimeter fencing, a columbarium and concrete strip foundations for headstone markers. He said the initial part of the process – acquiring title to the land and getting the nec-

essary approvals from the RM and province – was the most time consuming part of the planning. The design also went through a few revisions before the final version was adopted by council. “The actual construction should proceed relatively quickly,” he said. “All the pieces of the puzzle are in place and this is the next big step. It will be a reality this fall.”

Above normal runoff expected this spring Based on the amount of snowfall this winter, an above normal runoff is expected for the majority of the province, while some areas have the potential for very high runoff and flooding. The March forecast and outlook on spring runoff was released on Monday, March 11 by Ken Cheveldayoff, Minister responsible for Water Security Agency. “The rate of melt and how much additional precipitation falls as snow or rain in coming weeks will determine the risk of flooding this spring,” Cheveldayoff said. “However, if the precipitation conditions going forward are consistent with their historical averages, most of the province will experience an above average spring runoff.” A hot summer and fall with below normal rainfall across the entire agricultural portion of Saskatchewan in 2012 produced relatively dry conditions going into the winter season, but a well above normal snowpack has created the potential for an above normal runoff. The Water Security Agency will continue to monitor the 2013 spring runoff conditions across Saskatchewan. If neces-
sary, more snow surveys will be conducted to verify snow accumulation. The Water Security Agency will be updating this forecast in April with the best information available. “We provide this forecast so that communities and residents can look at their local conditions and consider the best strategies to protect their property and infrastructure,” Cheveldayoff said. “Since 2010, the government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $25 million in 580 permanent flood mitigation works across the province. Those works will protect communities and homes this spring and into the future.” The March forecast should be used as a general guide as local conditions may vary. The full March forecast is available online at www.wsask.ca. The Water Security Agency was created to lead implementation of the 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan. It will improve water management capacity and service to individuals, businesses and communities across Saskatchewan. This new agency brings together, for the first time, all of the major responsibilities related to water quality and quantity.

New health-oriented enterprises a good fit for Legends Centre By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Two new businesses in the Legends Centre in Warman are geared toward health and fitness, making them a good fit for the multi-purpose recreational facility.
HEALTHY SNACKS
Crave Yogurt Bar is located on the second floor lobby of the Legends Centre, with easy access for spectators at the hockey arena and indoor sports fields. Dallas and Rod Deschner, who own and operate three Family Pizza outlets in Warman and Saskatoon, opened the specialty frozen yogurt franchise in early March, and are doing a booming business. “It’s been very busy,” confirmed Dallas Deschner. “People love the product. It’s a self-serve concept where people can choose their own toppings, so it’s fast service. But it’s also very healthy. We use real yogurt – not a powdered mix – and it’s gluten-free and fat-free. We also offer a non-dairy, lactose-free yogurt.” Deschner, who has been operating Family Pizza with her husband for the last 20 years, said they saw an opportunity in frozen yogurt. “We live in Dalmeny,” she explained. “Our kids were driving in to
Corey Young (left) and Blaine Whyte opened Pro Sport Rehab facility at the Legends Centre earlier this week. Their Saskatoon facility has been in operation for 14 years.
Dallas Deschner (above) and her husband, Rod, owners of Family Pizza oulets in Warman and Saskatoon, recently opened a Crave Yogurt franchise at the Legends Centre Saskatoon two or three times a week for frozen yogurt. So I thought, ‘well, there must be something in this’. The kids love it. It’s a healthy snack. So I called the Crave Yogurt bar in Market Mall and talked to the owner and asked if he was interested in franchising out.” After meeting with the owner and outlining their experience and background, it didn’t take long for a deal to be struck. A short time later, the bright, colourful self-serve facility was in business. Customers can take whatever size portion of yogurt they want
to start with and then add toppings ranging from fruit and nuts to candy and flavoured sauces. The toppings are changed on a regular basis to ensure variety. The customers pay a price based on the weight of the yogurt plus toppings.
HEALTHY BODIES
Pro Sport Rehab is on the main floor of the Legends Centre, accessible through an entrance shared with Anytime Fitness. The physiotherapy and massage therapy clinic is owned and operated by Corey Young and Blaine
Whyte. It’s the second clinic for the business partners, who opened their first facility in Saskatoon 14 years ago. The Warman clinic opened Monday, March 11. “We have a sport-based approach to injuries,” explained Young, who had several years of experience working with the Prince Albert Raiders before going into private business. “But it’s not just for sports injuries. We treat all types of injuries, whether it’s work-related or motor vehicle accidents or any other cause. Our objective is to get you back at the top of your game as fast as
possible. Not just to recover from your injury, but to prevent future problems as well.” Whyte, who worked previously with the Saskatoon Blades, said they use a multi-disciplinary “team approach” to achieve optimum results. “We use different modes of therapy,” said Whyte. “It’s a holistic approach with a physiotherapist, a massage therapist, and we have chiropractic services as well. So basically we use different therapies in a complementary way. We feel that’s the best way to approach injuries of any type.”
Canalta Hotels building four-storey hotel in Martensville By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A major western Canadian hotel chain is building a five-star hotel in Martensville. Canalta Hotels announced on Wednesday, March 6 that it has purchased three acres of land in the Sunset Ridge commercial subdivision on the south end of Martensville. The company says it will build an 84-room, four-storey luxury hotel on the site, complete with convention facilities and a major full-service restaurant chain. Construction of the hotel and restaurant complex is expected to begin this fall, with the facility opening for business in the spring of 2014. “This is a huge step forward for Martensville,” said Eugene Hritzuk with ICR Commercial Real Estate. “We’ve been working with Canalta for quite some time and they have done a very thorough analysis of the market. They are convinced this is the place they want to be.” In an interview March 6, Hritzuk said the proximity of the site to the Saskatoon International Airport was a key factor in the company’s decision to locate in Martensville.
“I recently picked up Cam Christianson, the president of the hotel company at the airport, and literally seven minutes later we were at the site,” explained Hritzuk. “He was very impressed. Martensville is easily accessible to the airport and that stretch of Highway 12 is the second-busiest highway in the province.” The Sunset Ridge commercial development is a six-acre highway and service commercial site fronting the Centennial Drive South service road. North Prairie Developments is spearheading both Sunset Ridge and Black Iron Crossing, a 28-acre commercial site at the north end of Centennial Drive in Martensville. The developer has partnered with ICR to handle real estate transactions. The new hotel is just one of several major announcements for the area in recent months. A major pharmacy chain, now confirmed to be Pharmasave, is currently under construction next to the Tim Horton’s in the Black Iron Crossing development. Saskatoon Co-op also plans to relocate into the Black Iron Crossing subdivision on the west side of Centennial Drive where it will construct an eight-pump, eight-lane gas bar, propane area, 3,411 square foot convenience store, and a
24-hour four-pump, three-lane card lock area. Among the new businesses setting up shop in Sunset Ridge are Dairy Queen, Caesar’s Pizza, and Second Cup.
CANALTA EXPANSION
Canalta owns 36 hotel properties in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Similar hotels to the one planned for Martensville currently operate in Humboldt, Tisdale, Melfort, Moosomin, Shaunovan, Weyburn and Estevan. The family-owned and operated company began in 1975 with a single hotel and currently employs more than 2.500 people in the two provinces. Cam Christianson, president and owner of Canalta Hotels, said the site in Martensville was chosen based on traffic flow, visibility and growth potential. “The location fits nicely with the properties we typically build and we know there’s a market there for the services we provide,” he said. “We look forward to serving customers in our growing group of Canalta Hotels across Saskatchewan.”
MARTENSVILLE GROWTH
North Prairie Developments found-

er John Williams said Martensville is one of the fastest-growing urban centres in the country and its proximity to Saskatoon makes it ideal for commercial development. “We expect these announcements to keep coming,” said Williams, who has been investing in Martensville for the past 15 years. “Our negotiations continue with other national fast food chains, a large format food store, a big box retailer and other major retailers,” he continued. “The investment in retail development in Martensville is over $75 million.” Martensville Mayor Kent Muench said the hotel chain’s decision to locate in the city shows that companies consider Martensville a good place to set up shop. “We have been working very hard to capitalize on our strategic advantages,” said Muench. “I’m very excited to see that work pay off and am pleased to welcome Canalta to Martensville.” Dillon Shewchuk, economic development manager for the City of Martensville, said the hotel chain is looking to capitalize on the location’s proximity to Saskatoon, the international airport and the visibility from Highway 12. “There’s a real need for another ma-

jor hotel, particularly in this area,” said Shewchuk. “When it comes to hosting major events at Credit Union Centre, it can be a real problem for visitors to find accommodations.” He added there’s also many events in Martensville and area, such as hockey tournaments and weddings, that could benefit from a major hotel in the community. Another factor is the strong growth in the residential neighbourhood adjacent to Sunset Ridge. “The restaurant will be a strong draw for the residents of the area, as well as the hotel patrons,” said Shewchuk. He said the city is starting to achieve a “critical mass” of commercial activity. “Sunset Ridge, in a very short period of time, has seen a number of big announcements,” he said. “That in itself increases the interest and investment activity.” Shewchuk said the city is looking at eventually expanding beyond the existing commercial developments and plans on eventually servicing the remaining 50 acres of land north of Black Iron Crossing once the current inventory is sold.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE Get stories like this plus more photos before anyone else! Breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca
The collision occured at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 7 at an uncontrolled railway crossing on the west outskirts of Warman. According to Sgt. Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP Detachment, the train was stopped at the time of the
collision. The crossing is controlled with a stop sign and there are no mechanical barriers at the location. “Police attended to a call and located a truck lodged partially underneath a railway car at that location,” said Gherasim. “There was no driver located in the vehicle.” RCMP used a police dog and conducted a search of the area, but were unable to track down the driver at that time. “A short time after the accident, the driver contacted police, who attended at his location at a Warman residence,” said Gherasim, adding further invesetigation revealed the man was displaying symptoms of impairment from
alcohol consumption. The unidentified man, who lives in Osler, was arrested and taken to the police detachment for breath samples. He was released on charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level greater than the legal limit. The matter is scheduled to be heard in Provincial Court in Saskatoon on May 8. The man received minor injuires, but did not require hospitalization. The truck was towed from the scene and there was minor damage to the railway tanker car. The train was disabled for a couple of hours while the vehicle was removed.

Martensville home builder earns national award from CHBA By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Northern Sky Developments, a Martensville home builder, won the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA) Sales and Marketing (SAM) award for the Best New Custom Home between 2500 and 4000 square feet. The CHBA SAM award recognizes the home builder who has built the best new home in its class in all of Canada. The winner was announced last weekend at the CHBA 70th National Conference at Lake Louise, Alberta. Northern Sky Developments is owned and operated by Terry and Zak Kostyna, and specializes in custom and timber-frame homes. The firm had previously received the Saskatoon and Region Home Builders Association Bridges Award for Best New Custom Home (over 2,200 square feet). The company also won the 2012 CHBA (Saskatchewan) SAM Award for Best New Custom Home over 2200 square feet. “We are thrilled and very proud to be named as a finalist,” stated Terry Kostyna, President of Northern Sky, in a news release. “To go on and win a national award really reinforces our dedication to unique
design and quality craftsmanship. We don’t think of ourselves so much as home builders, but more as home creators. Receiving the CHBA top award in the country for this category leaves us deeply honoured and even more committed to what we do.” The CHBA is the voice of the residential construction industry in Canada, representing more than 8,500 member firms across the country. Its highlycoveted national SAM Awards recognize excellence in building design, construction and innovation. Northern Sky tailors its design plans for individual clients, and utilizes top sub-trades and artisans in constructing its award-winning homes. “We’re a local Saskatchewan builder,” said Kostyna. “We know the land, the climate, and the best trades people. Our timber materials come from BC, but our expertise comes from right here. These awards mean so much to us because they recognize the exquisite craftsmanship, innovation and expertise we offer right here in this province.” Kostyna concluded that the company’s clients’ vision and trust is also a big factor in constructing award-winning homes.

Warman Midget AA Wildcats edged by Lloydminster in playoff series By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Warman Midget AA Wildcats gave it their best shot, but came up one goal short in their quest to advance to the next round of Centre Four Hockey League playoffs. The Wildcats were edged 2-1 by the Lloydminster Sobey’s Blazers on Saturday, March 9 at the Legends Centre in Warman. In the return match of the two-game, total-points series, the Wildcats battled back from an early deficit to tie the Blazers 4-4. But it wasn’t enough and the season came to a sudden end on the weekend. Wildcats coach Todd Dyck said while the team played hard, they were plagued with injuries late in the season and had trouble finding the back of the net. “We got into an early hole and were always fighting our way back,” said Dyck. “When we get on the board first, we generally have success. It’s always harder to come back, especially when we’re missing some key guys from the lineup.”

The Delisle Chiefs knew it was going to be a tough series against the Saskatoon Quakers. While the Chiefs held a 3-2 series lead after last weekend in the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) best of 7 playoff series, they’ve had to scratch and claw for every goal. After going up two games to none, the Chiefs got a wake-up call in game three at the Legends Centre in Warman on Wednesday, March 6. The Quakers dominated every aspect of the penalty-riddled contest, outshooting the Chiefs by a 2-1 margin. It was an ugly win for the Quakers and an even uglier loss for the Chiefs. Delisle had trouble putting together any sustained rushes into the offensive zone and spent most of the game bottled up in their own end. The Quakers, meanwhile, peppered starting Chiefs goalie Lukas MacDonald, eventually chasing him from the net after the fourth goal in favour of backup Keith Boon. The Quakers’ Cody Wour-

ms registered a hat trick in the game, while teammates Layken Heidt and Dylan Meek contributed singles. The Quakers outshot the Chiefs 41-19 over three periods. Josh Murray scored the lone goal for the Chiefs in the final frame. The Chiefs rebounded from the loss in Game 4 on Friday, March 8, registering a 3-2 win in the friendly confines of the Delisle Arena. Ashton Donnel-
ly, Andre Lalonde and Victor Pernitsky scored for the Chiefs while Brandon Crozier and Spencer Wand replied for the Quakers. But the Quakers returned the favour on Saturday, March 9, winning a 3-2 decision in overtime at Harold Latrace Arena in Saskatoon. Ashton Donnelly and Justin Kerr registered markers for Delisle while Cody Wourms picked up a pair of goals and Mike Herperger got a
single for the Quakers. That set up game six on Tuesday, March 12 in Delisle. Results of the game were not available at the Gazette press deadline. Game 7, if necessary, was scheduled for Wednesday, March 13 at Harold Latrace. In the other PJHL north division playoff series, the Saskatoon Royals downed the Tri-Town Thunder four games to none and advanced to the championship round.

Warman SJHL expansion team campaign into final weeks By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The campaign to bring a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) team to Warman is rapidly coming down to the wire. “We’ve had a good response so far,” said Ryley Anderson, a member of the organizing committee working to bring an expansion team to the communi-
ty for the 2014-15 season. “But we only have until the end of March, so we really need people to get their completed pledge forms in to us.” The committee says an SJHL team could generate between $1 and $1.5 million in economic benefits to the community. Anderson said the campaign team is encouraging people to commmit to 3-year season ticket reservations. While no pay-
ment is needed at this time, the completed pledge forms are. Season ticket request forms are available at the Legends Centre and the Clark’s Crossing Gazette office in Warman. They are also available via e-mail at warmanjuniorhockey@hotmail.com . Anderson said the SJHL Board of Governors will judge whether to award an expansion franchise to Warman based on

the response from the community. “We need to show the concrete response,” said Anderson. “These have to be responses on paper. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the forms. E-mailed commitments to purchase season tickets will also be acceptable. But people really need to get them in to us as soon as possile.”

Vipers advance to next playoff round By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Sask Valley Vipers advanced to the next round of playoffs in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, after polishing off the Northeast Wolfpack 2 games to 1. It was sweet revenge for the Vipers, who were bounced by the Wolfpack last year in the playoffs. The Vipers get set to take on the Battlefords in the next round, with the first game set for the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, March
16. Game time is 6:30 p.m. The second game of the best of 3 series goes Tuesday, March 19 in the Battlefords. Game time is 6:30 p.m. The final game of the series, if necessary, will move back to the Legends Centre in Warman on Wednesday, March 20, starting at 6:15 p.m. In the series against the Wolfpack, the Vipers rallied to overcome an early deficit. They lost the first game on March 2 in Tisdale by a score of 5-2. Brady MacPherson and Daven Smith scored for the Vipers in the first game.
In the second game of the series in Martensville on March 3, the Vipers won 1-0, thanks to a goal by Daven Smith. The third and final game was held in Tisdale on March 9. The Vipers edged the Wolfpack 3-2 to take the series. In that game, Isaac Jackson, Carson Albrecht and Brady MacPherson tallied for the Vipers. Sask Valley got up to an early 3-0 lead and hung on to win. Results of the games can be found by logging on to www.saskvalleyvipers.com .

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe... who will Blades play in playoffs? When it comes to next week’s start of the Western Hockey League playoffs, the Saskatoon Blades knew two things…they would be the second seed in the first round of the Eastern Conference post-season tournament. And, they would play the first two games of the bestof-seven Conference quarter-finals at Credit Union Centre on Thursday, March 21 and Friday, March 22. Beyond that, there were still four possible opponents for that series…and all kinds of schedule combinations! Since the Bridge City Bunch will play the seventh seed, that
was the Medicine Hat Tigers as of Monday. Going into the week, the Prince Albert Raiders had 77 points from 69 games in fifth place, the Swift Current Broncos were sixth with 75 points from 70 games. Then came the Tigers with 73 points from 69 games while Kootenay was eighth with 68 points from 68 games. That first round opponent likely won’t be officially known until the weekend. ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEWEEK – As his five-year career in Saskatoon comes to a close, Josh Nicholls is piling
up numbers and money. The 20-year-old right winger signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the New York Rangers last Monday…a deal that will pay him $92,500 worth of signing bonus in each of the three years. If the Tsawassen, B.C. product plays in the N.H.L. next season, when his contract kicks in, he will earn a salary of $709,167. To celebrate, Nicholls scored four goals and added three assists for seven points, with a +2 ranking, in the three Bridge City Bunch games. The highlights were two short-handed goals in Friday’s 6-3 triumph over Medicine Hat, in-
cluding a 3-on-5 tally, plus the goal that started the Saskatoon comeback from a 7-3 deficit after two periods in an 8-7 victory over Regina on Saturday at Credit Union Centre. For the season, as of Monday, he has 45 goals and 80 points, leading the Blades in goals and second in points. For his career, Nicholls has 136 goals, 172 assists for 308 points in 329 games. On Friday in Prince Albert, he is expected to play in his 331st career game in a Saskatoon uniform, passing Warren Peters into second place on the all-time franchise list. He is fifth in career Blades’ goal-scoring, passing Hockey

Clavet student selected as ‘Gene Researcher for a Week’ By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
Connor Brenna has always been fascinated by Biology in general and Genetics in particular. Being a student in Rob Price’s biology class at Clavet Composite School only increased his curiosity and interest in life’s beginnings. So when an invitation arrived at the school encouraging students to apply to be a gene researcher for a week, Brenna was one of several to jump at the chance. Brenna applied around Christmas time. To qualify, he had to write an essay, obtain a reference from his teacher, Mr. Price, and also submit a Grade Point Average. After applications closed in mid-January, nearly a month passed before he heard that he had been selected by the Canadian Gene Cure Foundation to be a Gene Researcher for a Week. Word came in an email on February 12, a mere five days before he had to leave to begin the program. Price said, “I was impressed that he got chosen, not surprised but impressed, given that they don’t choose that many.” Price speculated that in order to get selected, “I think you have to have an interest in biology first and an interest in genetics second.” Price had been teaching Biology 30 and stated, “this opportunity coincided nicely with the unit on genetics which is part of the Biology 30 curriculum.” A grade 12 student, Brenna just completed the class in January. Brenna’s placement was at
the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “I was excited,” he says. “It was really short notice, so I had to get a plane ticket pretty quick.” A flight and a hotel stay close to the university were included as part of his travel grant. Brenna conducted research in an Ocular Genetics Lab that works with zebra fish, run by Dr. Andrew Waskiewicz. “They’ve got a big fish depository and they collect embryos and do research on those,” said Brenna. “A lot of labs will look at mice or drosophila, but there’s a lot of labs that will look at zebra fish for certain reasons. The embryos are easy to look at, they stay clear and you can read them very easily, so we just dealt with zebra fish.” After breeding, the adult fish are removed. The embryos are heavier than water, so they remove the water and are left with just embryos. “One of the things I did was a morpholino injection,” said Brenna. “You rinse the embryos in all sorts of chemicals and inject a protein into them and you can see all the motor neurons. They would glow green under a microscope.” The green glow allowed researchers to monitor where the genes go and what they’re doing. Brenna says he learned a lot in those five days working in the lab. “I’d never done anything like this before and I was very excited to be part of the process, doing this kind of work,” he said. “I learned that biology takes time. There were a lot of ongoing experiments going on at

once,” noted Brenna. One set of embryos might sit in the fridge for an hour and another process might take 5 hours. The timing of projects and processes were staggered so that work could continue with less waiting time. “I learned a lot about genetics and how that works. The PhD student that I spent a lot of time shadowing dealt with retinoic acid. It’s a certain part of the genome that would deal with eyes, like what you would get out of carrots, I think. And they discovered if you took it out of the zebra fish, the fish had deformed eyes and deformed tails too, and really poor night vision,” observed Brenna. “The ultimate goal is that we can go to people with poor night vision and say you need more retinoic acid. The big idea is helping people.” The Canadian Gene Cure Foundation is committed to raising up a new generation of budding scientists to cure genetic diseases of the future. There was no one else from the “Gene Researcher for a Week” program in Alberta. But Brenna worked with other U of A students in the lab as well as with the doctor and spent a little time with everyone. Price said, “I’m proud of him, our school is proud of him our community is proud of him. And it just goes to show that students who receive a rural education and go to smaller schools are just as capable of participating in programs like this.” Price also observed that, “Connor has a fascination with living things. He worked at a pet store, he’s always interested in different forms of life and different animals. I think the interest in those animals and what we studied in class in terms of genetics maybe just met in what this program was all about.” The whole experience provided confirmation to Brenna of what he wants to do in life. He was offered a job by the lab in Alberta. He is considering whether he will take the job, or try to find something related at the U of S. “This experience has reinforced my future plans. I’ve been thinking about doing this and after going and seeing what it’s actually like, I’m for sure going to do it. It’s going to help me secure some kind of research position.”
Osler Winter Carnival
Residents and visitors to Osler turned out last Saturday to take in the community’s annual Winter Carnival. The family-oriented activities ranged from horse-drawn sleigh rides to old-fashioned shinny on the Osler outdoor rink, family bingo and children’s games in the Pioneer Centre. A bonfire sponsored by the Osler Fire Department and a family skate topped off the day. (Above) Neil Bartsch and his reliable team of Clydesdales, Maggie and Casey take a sleigh load of passengers around town. (Middle) Players of all ages got into the spirit of the game.

Warman High School students get a behind-the-lens look at Telemiracle Submitted by
DALE WIEBE
Warman High School
Every year a few students from Warman High School are invited to work with CTV personnel who televise Telemiracle. This is the sixth year that WHS has taken students to Telemiracle to work as production team members. This year Josh Barker, Lorna Farrell and Linley Redford (past WHS grad) were accompanied by Dale Wiebe (Teacher) to Telemiracle. The entire production team that consisted of about 65 production members met at 2:30 in the lower level of TCU Place to go through introductions and a welcome after which those that were new to Telemiracle production went to the various areas they were assigned and practised using the equipment. After Dale, Linley and Josh (rookie last year) went through the terminology the directors would use and what they would expect Lorna to do on the camera Josh took Lorna to her first camera post Camera 4 in the first balcony and explained how to focus and setup every shot the directors would call for. Lorna (first year rookie) was very nervous about running a BIG camera and the possibility of screwing up on na-
tional TV. Ten minutes into her first shift Lorna was setting up great shots like the pros under the guidance of the director in the CTV mobile production truck parked in the back of CTU Place. Dale and Linley left them practising and went off to their posts which included running the hand held close up cameras on stage and running the VTR (video playback units) in the production truck. It was an exhausting weekend with all volunteers taking advantage of times between shifts to relax or sleep. Josh got a picture of Dale laying on the the floor between the 1st balconey seats taking advantage of a two hour break between shifts to have a nap and using his book bag as a pillow. The weekend had the same ending for Lorna, Josh, Linley and Dale. Straight home after their last shift, straight to bed, wake up between 6 and 8 pm thirsty and hungry, right back to bed until their alarm clock roused them from a deep sleep Monday morning. All were left with sweet dreams about the fun and comradery they had experienced at Telemiracle and looking forward to doing it all over again next year.

The pan flute is scarcely heard in this part of the world. And it’s even more rare to hear it played by one of the foremost virtuosos of the musical instrument. Liselotte Bokyta is a professor from the Czech Republic who is an acknowledged expert of the pan flute, a simple instrument that is one of the most difficult to play. Bokyta is being joined by Andre Knevel, an organist from St. Catharines, Ontario for two concerts in the Saskatoon region. The concerts are for “Harvest for the Hungry.” The first takes place on Wednesday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bethel Christian Refomed Church, located in the RM of Corman Park at the corner of Highway 11 North and Clark’s Crossing Road (Township Road 381). The second concert is scheduled for Osler Mission Chapel in Osler on Thursday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m.
Reverend Brian Lise of Warman is the organizer of the events. His missionary work in a number of Eastern European countries has provided him with an up-close view of the crushing poverty suffered by a large number of families. “It’s a very serious situation,” said Lise in a recent interview. “These people are short of food, clothing, shelter and heat for their homes.” Lise said a box of food pur-
chased in eastern European countries like Albania, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria for the equivalent of $30 Canadian will feed a family for several days. While the concerts are free of admission charge, there will be a freewill offering taken up at the events to raise money for the Eurovangelism mission. Further details about the organization can be found online at www. eurovangelism.ca .

The Rural Municipality of Rosthern No. 403, due to the above average precipitation levels and the geographic nature of the area, has been experiencing major flooding events in recent years, especially during spring runoff. It is important for landowners and residents to be prepared for flooding events, and to take all available precautions to ensure that destruction of property is avoided. The Rural Municipality of Rosthern No. 403 continues to take steps to mitigate flooding, by annually clearing out ditches, culverts, and other public high flow areas and structures; however if you observe ditches and/or culverts that are plugged in any way, please contact the R.M. office at (306)-232-4393 and crew will be dispatched accordingly Water Security Agency The R.M. has no jurisdiction in the area of watershed management on private property. All inquiries with regards to drainage problems, projects, or complaints on private property should be directed to the Water Security Agency. This includes any proposed project that would drain water from one piece of land to another, in particular when ownership in parcels in not the same. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency formerly the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority is the responsible body for all water bodies and supplies within the Province, charged with mandate to manage, administer, develop, control and protect the water, watersheds and related land resources of Saskatchewan. Including in this mandate, the Water Security Agency has the responsibility for administering the approval process for constructing and operation of drainage works. The construction and operation of most drainage works requires a pre-approval from the Water Agency, however all projects should be discussed with the Agency staff prior to application submissions to ensure that approval is required and that all necessary steps are completed. In some cases approvals can take up to 4-6 weeks, so it is advised to begin discussing with the Agency staff well in advance of planned projects. In some cases funding will be made available from the Water Security Agency for drainage projects, under the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program, however funding is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and should be discussed with Agency staff.
SANDBAG SUPPLIERS
GENERAL INFORMATION The R.M. encourages residents to be proactive in protecting their properties from flood waters, and to take steps to arrange for the use of any pumps, or other supplies that may be required, as the municipality is unable to provide such items for public use. These items become difficult to find during high demand times such as during a spring flooding event, so the R.M. urges those who may be in need to make arrangements well in advance of the anticipated time of need, in the event of a major flooding event, where residents wish to sandbag their property. The R.M. of Rosthern No. 403 falls within the North Battleford Regional Office of the Water Security Agency, located at 402 Royal Bank Tower 1101-101st Street, and can be reached by phone at (306) 446-7450. Further information can be obtained by calling the Regional office or by visiting their website, at www.wsask.ca For any questions or to report flood prevention work that needs to be carried out by the R.M. staff please call the office at (306) 232-4393.

Province has lowest unemployment rate Saskatchewan had the lowest unemployment rate in Canada in February 2013, at 3.8 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest since November 2008 when it was 3.7 per cent and well below the national rate of 7.0 per cent. Job numbers continued to climb in February, up 24,600 to 546,200 jobs, the most ever for the month of February (seasonally unadjusted). Jobs were up by 4.7 per cent in February 2013 over last February, the second-highest among Canadian provinces. “So far 2013 is looking like another outstanding year for the Saskatchewan economy with job increases leading the way,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Growing job numbers is all part of the plan to grow our economy, and we will continue with initiatives that will make sure people of our province are able to fill those opportunities.” Full-time employment was up by 21,400 and part-
time jobs rose by 3,000 on a year-over-year basis. In February, Regina’s unemployment rate was 3.7 per cent, down from 4.1 per cent in January and from 4.4 per cent a year ago. Saskatoon’s unemployment rate was 4.7 per cent, down from 5.3 per cent in January 2013, and down from 6.0 per cent a year ago. Regina had the lowest unemployment rate among major Canadian cities, and Saskatoon had the fourth lowest. Other highlights include: • The youth unemployment rate was 9.2 per cent, the lowest among the provinces and below the national rate of 13.6 per cent. • Regina’s employment was up by 6,500 (5.3 per cent) and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 9,200 (6.3 per cent). • Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 800 from February last year (2.0 per cent).
