SGT. WARREN GHERASIM Warman RCMP

On April 8 at 11:22 a.m. a motor vehicle collision was reported to the RCMP. The collision occurred at Highway 12 and the main access to Martensville.

Witnesses reported that a westbound Ford, F350 pick-up, pulling a trailer, attempted to cross the highway from a stopped position and a northbound Subaru Outback collided with the trailer. Only minor injuries were reported. A 53 year old man from Falun, AB, the operator of the truck and trailer, was issued a violation ticket for proceeding from a stop sign before it was safe to do so.

LOCK YOUR VEHICLE

On April 9 at 12:54 a.m.

RCMP responded to a complaint of two suspicious persons in the area of 4th Street South in Martensville. It was reported that two men were going through parked vehicles in that area. Police attended and observed a small red car leaving the area at a high rate of speed. Police were unable to stop the vehicle and it left towards Saskatoon. Investigation revealed that several unlocked cars had been entered and the contents gone through. Police remind residents to always lock your unattended vehicle and do not leave valuables in plain sight.

SMASHED CAR WINDOW

On April 8 at 8:10 a.m. police responded to a complaint of mischief on Centennial Blvd. in Warman. A female complainant advised that she had a discovered the window to her vehicle broken. She then located a man she is acquainted with sleeping in a car nearby. Police attended and arrested the man for mischief after determining that he had smashed the window. A 30 year old Saskatoon man was later released on a charge of mischief to property. The matter will be heard in

On April 13 between 7:35 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., police received several calls related to a red vehicle driving erratically on Highway 16 near Langham. In some instances the vehicle was reported to be traveling westbound in the east bound lanes and motorists were having to take evasive action to avoid a collision. At 8:20 a.m. police located the vehicle on Highway 16 near Dalmeny Road.

Police eventually stopped a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze being driven by a man who displayed signs of impairment from alcohol consumption. Investigation revealed the man was a suspended driver.

The vehicle was seized for thirty days pursuant to suspended driver legislation and the driver was arrested for impaired driving. Police took the man to the police detachment where he provided breath samples that were in excess of the legal limit. A 21 year old Saskatoon man was later released on charges of impaired driving, driving with a blood alcohol that exceeded the legal limit and driving while disqualified. He is scheduled to make a court appearance on June 26th.

LOCK YOUR HOUSE, TOO

On April 10 at 8:40 a.m. police received a complaint of a theft from a parked vehicle on Quessy Dr. in Martensville.

The complainant advised that he left his vehicle parked in front of his residence overnight and when he returned it had been entered and the garage door opener had been stolen.

Murder trial for Hales delayed again The trial for Douglas Hales, a Saskatoon man charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of Daleen Bosse, has been delayed until 2014.

Hales, 35, was arrested in August 2008 after Bosse’s remains were discovered in a secluded wooded area a short distance east of Martensville.

Bosse, who was 26 at the time of her disappearance and death, was a student at the University of Saskatchewan. She went missing on May 18, 2004, and was last seen at a nightclub where Hales worked as a bouncer.

The murder trial for Hales was scheduled to start Monday, April 15 in Saskatoon Court

of Queen’s Bench and was to run for 4 weeks. But Hales dismissed his lawyer last month and applied for an adjournment.

The lawyer was the sixth one that Hales has gone through since his arrest.

The adjournment marked the third time the trial has been delayed because Hales has changed his legal counsel. The Crown lawyers opposed the application for an adjournment.

The case is slated to be back in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench on Friday, May 10, when new trial dates will be discussed. The new trial is tentatively set to begin February 4, 2014, with four weeks set aside for the hearing.

CALL US TODAY

On Monday, April 15, Justice Gerald Allbright agreed to appoint Regina lawyer Bob Hrycan to represent Hales, but told the accused that this was the last time he would allow a change of legal counsel.

“If you find yourself wthout counsel on that date, you will be reprenting yourself,” Allbright told Hales.

Hales is charged with firstdegree murder and offering an indignity to a body. He was arrested in August, 2008 and his preliminary hearing date was originally set for April 20, 2009.

After numerous delays because Hales kept changing lawyers, his preliminary hearing finally took place on March 15, 2010.

Reservoirs full, RM of Vanscoy prepares for expected flooding

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Vanscoy is gearing up to deal with some serious flooding this spring, according to Floyd Chapple, reeve of the municipality.

“It’s coming, no question about that,” said Chapple in an interview on Wednesday, April 10 following a ratepayers meeting at the Vanscoy Circle Hall.

“But we’re doing all we can to get ready for it. We’ve been dealing with water issues since 2010 – so a lot of improvements have been made over the past couple of years – but this year we’re expecting a lot more water than in the past.”

Chapple said the RM has invested in new culverts and has rebuilt and repaired a number of roads damaged by floodwaters.

“The weather is a big challenge for us lately,” he said.

“We’re fortunate that we have a good tax base with one and a quarter potash mines in our RM, so that helps a lot with our tax base. The potash mines are our biggest ratepayers and we appreciate them. That tax base allows us to do some things that other RMs aren’t able to.”

All the major natural reservoirs in the RM are full to the brim, including Rice Lake, which covers roughly 6,000 acres.

“Rice Lake is fuller than it’s ever been, at least within living memory,” said Chapple. “We’re not sure where the water will go once the snow starts to melt in earnest. The ground is satu-

rated already, so it’s all going to be surface water and it’s going to go somewhere.”

He said the provincial Ministry of Highways is worried the floodwaters could threaten Highway 14 between Asquith and Dunfermline. Both communities are within the RM of Vanscoy.

But the RM council and staff have plans and equipment in place to respond to situations as they arise, said Chapple. “We’re fortunate that we have the resources and I think we can mitigate any problems that come

along. We have the equipment waiting and ready, our guys are on alert and they’re not afraid to work long hours.”

Public works employees have been clearing ditches and moving snow to open up as many roads as possible.

“It was a big job clearing out all the packed snow from the last couple of storms,” he said.

Chapple said the RM is working with the provincial Water Security Agency to implement appropriate measures. “That’s the big thing nowadays,” he said. “You can’t just go and do

something without taking into account the implications of what will happen further downstream.”

The RM of Vanscoy police service and public works department are constantly monitoring the state of the roads in the municipality and any closures are immediately posted on the RM’s website.

RM of Vanscoy Chief of Police, Glenn Thomson, is also providing information about roads and flooding on his Twitter account (@vanscoyrmpolice). In an e-mail to The Ga-

zette on Saturday, April 13, Thomson said the Twitter account proved useful during the last couple of winter storms that blew through Saskatchewan.

“The road supervisor is working on this with me,” said Thomson. “As soon as we are aware of a flooding problem it will be posted right away – as well as snow problems.”

Thomson said the flooding is coming, but no one knows when it will happen. He encourages people to plan a route to their homes if flooding occurs in their area.

“Use road numbers and directions,” said Thomson.

“Write it down, keep it by your phone in case you have to call 9-1-1. Call takers will not know what roads are flooded. If they will need special equipment such as quads or inflatables to reach you, write that down, too, and make sure your family members know about this.” The RM of Vanscoy police phone number is 306-291-6050 and the e-mail is vanscoyrmpolice@ gmail.com.

RM GROWING

While flooding will be a challenge, it’s a short-term problem, noted Chapple. In the long run, the RM is in good shape.

“Our council is a good bunch of people that work well together,” he said. “We have a terrific public works crew and foreman and great office staff. Things are going well for us in this RM. We have weather challenges but, as far as people chal-

lenges, we have none.”

Chapple said the RM’s population base is growing and new housing developments are helping to fund needed infrastructure improvements.

“We’re sitting at about 2,800 people right now and we’re growing at a phenomenal rate,” he noted. “Last year we issued 65 building permits, mostly for multi-parcel subdivisions.”

He said because of the history of flooding in the RM, the municipality’s Official Community Plan has provisions that restrict new housing projects in flood-prone areas.

“We have done a lot of work on geotechnical surveys to make sure people aren’t building on any low spots,” he said.

“We want to mitigate any problems before they happen. It’s a bit of a challenge sometimes to convince people that maybe the land they’ve chosen isn’t suitable for buildings, but we’ve made a lot of progress since 2010.”

The RM annual meeting attracted about 75 people and marked a rejuvenation of sorts for the gathering.

“It’s the first one we’ve had for a long time,” Chapple explained. “My dad was reeve here years ago and they just quit having the supper meetings because there was no interest and nobody was showing up. It’s been quite a while since one was held but we’ll definitely continue to have them every year now. There’s a lot of interest among the ratepayers about what is happening.”

Corman Park Police putting focus on weight restriction enforcement Speed violations in construction zones also a priority: Acting chief

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Corman Park Police have laid a total of eight charges against truckers hauling overweight loads since provincial road restrictions came into effect earlier this spring.

And, with fines as high as $8,000 for a single violation, it’s an expensive touch for operators caught running overloaded trucks.

Sgt. John Garnet, acting chief of the Corman Park Police Service, said enforcing road bans and weight restric-

tions is one of three priority areas where officers are currently focusing their efforts.

In a verbal report to the RM of Corman Park council at its Monday, April 15 meeting, Garnet said overweight trucks do extensive damage to the municipality’s roads and stiff fines are an effective deterrent.

“It’s a fairly significant penalty,” said Garnet. “But we’re also doing our best to educate truckers, farmers and others about the road restrictions so they understand the rules.”

Garnet said there has been a positive response from the public.

“Our guys have been out there laying charges,” he said. “But we’re also

being proactive. We’ve spent some time talking to farmers to educate them about what’s required, so we don’t get violations on that front.”

Garnet said some overweight truck operators knowingly violate road bans by using RM roads while attempting to dodge highway scales. Other truckers haul loads early in the morning in an effort to go undetected. The police have stepped up monitoring of key roads that are used as shortcuts and have also nabbed several violators in the early morning hours.

Other truckers may be ignorant of the rules or may be operating under wrong assumptions, said Garnet.

“We had two instances last week

where we issued tickets to companies operating without proper authority on RM roads,” said Garnet. “The City of Saskatoon mistakenly gave permission for these companies to carry significantly overweight loads on our roads and, obviously, the city doesn’t have the authority to do that. The city’s administration made a mistake and they’ll have to deal with the trucking company with regard to that matter.”

Garnet said many farmers also operate under the mistaken impression that road bans don’t apply to them.

“They face the same restrictions as other truckers,” he said. “It’s a matter of educating them.”

The police have also laid several charges against commercial truckers from out of province that failed to have appropriate registration. Commercial haulers are required to have the name of the company and the weight of the vehicle clearly posted on the side of the truck.

SPEEDING VIOLATIONS

Officers are also focusing on the issue of speeding in construction zones.

Noting that recent news reports have focused on speeding violations in

Icy highways contribute to rash of collisions

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A spate of weather-related collisions has left one man dead and several others injured as yet another spring storm made driving treacherous last week.

A head-on collision between a truck and a minivan on Highway 5 east of Saskatoon on Wednesday, April 10 resulted in a fatality. The victim, the lone occupant of the minivan, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two females and one male in the truck were taken to hospital by MD Ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.

The collision, which occurred at approximately 7:00 p.m. just east of the Highway 41 junction, was one of several crashes due to icy road conditions during the evening of April 10.

RCMP officers, first responders and paramedics attended to a rash of accidents during the evening of April 10 and well into the morning of April 11, according to MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies.

Davies said the STARS air ambulance was dispatched Thursday morning, April 11 to a head-on collision near Harris on Highway 7, while paramedics were sent to a collision near Cochin, north of the Battlefords, as well as a rollover at the intersection of Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road.

“With the fluctuation of temperatures, black ice, and the recent snowfall, we are asking drivers to use extreme caution

on the highways,” said Davies.

FATAL COLLISION

Rosetown RCMP responded to the two-vehicle collision near Harris on Thursday morning, April 11.

According to Cpl. Rob King of the RCMP F-Division headquarters, five occupants of a west-bound car, including an adult male, adult female, teenage male, teenage female, and a pre-teen male also suffered injuries. The preteen male was transported by STARS air ambulance to hospital in Saskatoon, where he later died of his injuries. The other four passengers were transported to Rosetown Hospital with undetermined injuries.

Traffic was restricted on the highway as RCMP officers completed their investigation of the collision.

OIL TANKER ROLLVER

A tanker truck rollover on Highway 2 at the Buffalo Pound causeway resulted in the closure of the highway from Chamberlain and Moose Jaw. The accident, which resulted in several hundred litres of petroleum being leaked, occurred during the early morning hours of Thursday, April 11.

RCMP officers said road conditions in southern Saskatchewan were very poor at the time with considerable amounts of ice buildup and snow making travel treacherous. Saskatchewan Environment personnel were deployed to the accident site and, as of Tuesday, April

The elderly driver of this Ford Ranger half-ton truck was taken to hospital with minor injuries after his vehicle hit a patch of ice on Highway 7 and rolled east of Vanscoy 16, were still cleaning up the spilled contents.

The RCMP urged drivers to consult Saskatchewan’s Highway Hotline for travel conditions before heading out on the highways.

ROLLOVER NEAR VANSCOY

One man escaped serious injury after his Ford Ranger halfton truck rolled on Highway 7 just east of Vanscoy around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10.

Warman RCMP Cpl. Aaron Rushton said the driver,

an elderly male from Vanscoy, was returning home from Saskatoon when he lost control of his vehicle on a patch of black ice.

The westbound truck crossed the highway and rolled into the south ditch. Given the extensive damage to the truck, the operator was extremely lucky, said Rushton.

The driver was assessed on the scene by Delisle Fire Department first responders from Vanscoy and was later taken by MD Ambulance to hospital in Saskatoon.

Radisson pulling out all the stops for centennial celebration

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

If the kickoff party was any indication, Radisson’s 100th anniversary celebration later this summer will be a real barnburner.

Over 200 people turned out for a fundraising supper on Friday, April 12 aimed at promoting the community’s centennial celebration, slated for the weekend of August 9, 10 and 11.

“It’s a very special event,” said Walter Kyliuk, chair of the committee organizing the centennial celebration. “We’ve waited 100 years for this party so we might as well make it memorable.”

Kyliuk said there’s a growing enthusiasm amongst people in Radisson and area for the centennial celebration, which pays tribute to the community’s past while looking ahead to the next century.

“Radisson has a glorious past and we have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about our future,” he stated. “We’re growing and a lot of people are moving into this community.”

Kyliuk said the kickoff party was aimed at raising operating funds for the centennial as well as for recreation programs in town. A silent auction was held at the event with items donated by individuals and businesses from North Battleford and Saskatoon and everywhere in between.

COMMUNITY MURAL

A highlight of the centenni-

al celebration – which coincides with the community’s annual agricultural fair – will be the unveiling of a large mural by Radisson painter Richard Widdifield. The mural will depict many scenes from the town’s past and is aimed at capturing the character of the community through the past century.

A pencil sketch of the muralin-progress was unveiled by Widdifield at the kickoff party with the help of Connie Ruzesky – a long-time resident of Borden who also happens to be the great-granddaughter of Jarvis Goodrich, the person who homesteaded on the land where the Town of Radisson now sits.

“The original name for the town was actually Goodrich,” explained Widdifield. “Jarvis Goodrich came up from Minnesota in 1904 with his two young sons to look for a homestead in this area. His wife had apparently passed away not long before and I guess he was looking to make a new start. At any rate, he took up a homestead here on land where the Radisson Hotel now sits. The next year, he essentially set up the town and started selling lots.

He had written in the name of the town as ‘Goodrich’ in the application to the provincial government.”

Widdifield said the name of the town was likely changed by the railway when it came through a short time later. “It wasn’t unusual for the railways to change a town’s name if they felt like it,” he said.

RM gives first reading to OCP amendments

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is moving ahead with amendments to its Official Community Plan (OCP) that allows for an increased maximum number of single-parcel country residential building sites.

At its meeting on Monday, April 15, council gave approval to first reading of a bylaw providing for “textual amendments” to the OCP with regard to single parcel severances. Approval was also given to first reading of a related bylaw pertaining to the municipality’s zoning bylaw.

Under the current OCP, two building sites are permitted per quarter section (160 acres).

The amendments would permit up to four building sites per quarter section and two building sites per 80-acre parcel plus will also allow an additional building site on the balance. The amendments would, in addition, grant an additional buildling site on land severed by natural or man-made features.

A public hearing on the proposed bylaws will be held as part of the regularly scheduled RM council meeting on Tuesday, May 21. Following the public hearing, the bylaws will proceed to second and third readings.

for an existing TransGas Limited pipeline.

The centennial party kicked off in fine fashion with plenty of entertainment at last Friday’s fundraising supper TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Richard Widdifield displays a pencil sketch of the mural that will officially be unveiled this summer at the centennial celebration in Radisson The artist said the mural project has “pretty much consumed” his life for the past year. He has been researching the town’s history and has pored through literally thousands of photographs supplied by residents of the community as well as his own images taken during his 13 years in the town. “I’ve learned a lot and made a lot of friends through this experience,” he said. “But I’ll be glad when it’s finally done.”

Widdifield said he is using a similar technique and style to a mural he painted for the Saskatchewan Legislature in honour of Saskatchewan’s 100th anniversary in 2005. The cen-

tral focus of the Radisson mural will be a whooping crane silhouetted against a full moon, with a collage of images depicting individuals and events over the years.

“I just wanted to capture the changing flavour of Radisson through the years,” he said.

“The design is pretty well set but I still have a lot of work to do before August.”

The original mural will hang inside the Radisson Town Office but a larger outdoor reproduction of the mural will be set up on Main Street.

The RM has prepared an information piece aimed at helping residents affected by flooding this spring.

The package outlines steps landowners can take when applying to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) if they suffer a minimum of $10,000 in damage or loss to their property. In order for ratepayers to qualify, the municipality must first pass a resolution requesting assistance from the Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing.

The information package is available from the front desk at the RM office in Saskatoon.

The community gathering last weekend also kicked off

Gerald Wiebe, a Radisson musician and songwriter, penned a theme song for the Jamboree and unveiled it on-stage at the kickoff event.

Wiebe, who has performed at the jamboree for the past two years, said the song “is about giving an identity to the jamboree” and generating more interest in the event.

“We want to give people a show that they can appreciate and share with others and one that they’ll want to come back to the following year,” said Wiebe. “We want to interest a larger demographic and grow the festival.”

The jamboree theme song is available free and can be downloaded from the town’s website.

HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY

Council agreed to a proposal by the provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) to sell a strip of land along the right-of-way of Highway 305.

The 0.413 hectare (1.02 acre) parcel of land is being sold to the MHI in order to accommodate a 62-meter wide rightof-way for upcoming highway construction. The MHI offered compensaton to the RM in the amount of $2,857.58. The parcel is located on the south side of Highway 305 at the intersection with the Dalmeny Access Road. The land sale also includes transfer of an easement

the third annual Radisson Jamboree – slated for June 1 and 2.

Over the past couple of years the event has been held concurrently with the agricultural fair but organizers feel it’s time to give it a separate identity.

The jamboree showcases music from local and area talent, with an old-time, country and gospel flavour. The event is operated by volunteers as a community fundraiser with local groups or charities receiving the proceeds. This year the funds will go to the Radisson Fire Deparment.

This edition of the jamboree will be held indoors at the Radisson Communiplex with an expanded dance floor, concession booth, plenty of room for RV camping and all-day en-

Pushing and praying for new highway interchanges

COMMENTARY

It’s a problem that will keep getting worse as the population continues to swell in the region north of Saskatoon.

The lack of interchanges along the major corridors of highways 11 and 12 are a mere inconvenience for some while, for others, it’s a stark reminder of a deadly tragedy that could have been prevented. As sure as the sun rises, it seems police and firefighters regularly rumble down the highways to the scene of another crash – usually ones of the T-bone variety that requires emergency personnel to utilize extrication equipment.

Subject to debate, three such interchanges are needed – Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road, Highway 11 at Warman and Highway 12 at Martensville. It would be a blessing to have all three constructed at the same time, but it is more than likely each will be prioritized based on scientific data that can only be interpreted by engineers. Ministry officials could save themselves a lot of time and money by living in Warman or Martensville or some other community along Highway 11 or 12. Like the majority of us who live and breathe driving these sections of highway everyday, it surely wouldn’t take them long to figure out what needs to be done.

Ask anyone who travels along those two divided highways and they will tell you how bad it is. Morning rush hour, afternoon rush hour, early evenings...there is literally heavy traffic at those intersections at all times of the day and night.

While it is comforting to know that studies have been undertaken to identify solutions, it is concerning that the highways ministry took so long to identify the burgeoning volume of traffic that started as far back as 10 years ago when the area’s population began to see a major influx of new residents and businesses. If these junctions have been on the radar since 2003 or even as late as 2010, it begs the question “why is something as simple as designing and building an overpass seemingly so complicated and time consuming?”.

It appears there are only two things citizens and motorists can do in the meantime until someone signs a piece of paper in Regina authorizing work to begin: push and pray. Keep applying pressure to the highways ministry to act sooner rather than later and pray that lives will no longer be lost at those three intersections.

Inaccurate salaries contained in ad

I am writing in response to the Great Plains College Post recent advertisement in the Clark’s Crossing Gazette titled, “Educational Assistants valued at Prairie Spirit.” (College Post, April 4 issue).

Specifically, the paragraph where it is stated that “The average salary for an elementary or secondary school teacher’s assistant in Saskatchewan was $41,662 according to the provincial government’s 2011 Saskatchewan Wage Survey.”

This information is grossly misrepresented. In fact, the

highest annual salary is more around the $22,000 mark, let alone talking about the average salary, which would be even lower than this. It is irritating to see this information published because it is simply not true and gives the local public misinformation – not to mention anyone pursuing this career path will be in for a real shock when they compare these statements to reality. Even if the college did get this information from elsewhere, it is important to know that anyone can go onto the Prairie Spirit School Division website and look at the agreements currently in place to see that the top wage of an EA is $19.36, the starting

It’s not exactly what you would classify as bad news for the province.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

In fact, the recent job numbers are actually alarmingly good, especially when you compare them with what’s been going on in the rest of country when it comes to job creation.

Elsewhere in Canada, March saw the loss of 54,500 full-time, private-sector jobs from February, as Canada’s unemployment rate rose to 7.2 per cent.

But, here in Saskatchewan, the unemployment rate fell to 3.9 per cent, passing Alberta for the lowest rate in the country.

To understand the significance of this, one just has to recall our not-so-distance history.

Gone are the days when Saskatchewan kids – especially, rural Saskatchewan kids – would simply move to Alberta

to find work, resulting in an artificially low unemployment rate. Instead, Saskatchewan has become the place to come to find work, as the March job creation statistics clearly indicate.

Consider Saskatchewan’s most recent job numbers in the far-more-accurate context of year-over-year – a far better way to assess how well or poorly we are doing because it eliminates the issues of seasonal hiring.

There were 544,700 people working in Saskatchewan in March – 25,700, or 4.9-per cent, more than exactly a year ago.

What makes the March 2013 numbers even more impressive is that they represented a record for the month. Record job growth reflects record Saskatchewan population. And all this is happening when the rest of the country is sputtering.

Even a statistician like Doug Elliott of SaskTrends Monitor, who has seen employment go up and down in this province over the years, is starting to buy into the notion that something is very different in Saskatchewan.

“The longer this goes on,

the more likely it is real and the less likely it is a statistical glitch,” Elliott said of Saskatchewan’s rather stunningly good March job numbers.

But, while the overall job news for Saskatchewan is great, it isn’t exactly perfect – especially if you live in rural Saskatchewan.

Admittedly, it isn’t exactly time to push the panic button, but the numbers within the March job numbers also clearly indicate that rural Saskatchewan job growth is slowing.

The first number of concern is the 1,100 less jobs in our traditionally strong oil, gas, mining and forestry sectors. That we still saw increased employment when our bread-and-butter resource sector was laying off people is good news for the province as a whole. But, for a large swath of rural communities now depending on oil drilling and potash mining to keep the local economy going, less work in the resource sector isn’t the best news.

Fortunately, 7,900 more construction jobs in Saskatchewan than a year ago made up the difference. But, Elliott notes that most of these con-

struction jobs are a result of labour-intensive home building. And most of these homes and jobs building them are clearly happening in the major cities.

We know this because that’s what the building permits tell us. The March job statistics are indicating much the same story. There were 7,100 more jobs (5.8 per cent, year-overyear) in Regina and 10,600 more jobs (7.2 per cent more) in Saskatoon.

Admittedly, it wasn’t all bad news for the rural economy. There were 7,600 more agriculture jobs, year-over-year – a surprising increase given that there was far less farming being done in the cold March of 2013 than in March 2012 when some farmers were already on the land.

But we need to be cautious because we know the trend towards fewer farmers. It’s possible that what’s defined as an agriculture job might very well mean agricultural servicing jobs in the cities.

Yes, the overall job numbers are fantastic.

But they are certainly better in the cities than in the county.

residential increase of last year will no doubt have Saskatchewan residents infuriated. But, who should their anger really be directed at?

Brad Wall’s Sask. Party has for years robbed The Crowns of up to 100 per cent of their profits in order to “balance” their budget.

In order for the Crowns to improve, replace and expand their

aging infrastructure, they are now forced to borrow money – hence the increases.

The Sask. Party has the audacity to brag about a balanced budget, when in reality what they have done is transfer their incompetent government’s debt onto the Crown Corporations.

Talk about a Premier in Devine clothing.

Trade show benefits Osler fire hall building fund

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A trade show last weekend provided a boost to the Osler Fire Department’s efforts to raise funds for a new fire hall.

Melissa Ens, a key organizer of the Osler Spring Stop ‘n Shop event held Saturday, April 13 at the community hall, said the turnout of vendors and customers was gratifying.

“We’ve had a very good response,” Ens told The Gazette at the event. “It’s a social event that brings everyone together and it’s also a good way to raise some money for a new fire hall – something that we really need here.”

Osler Fire Department members volunteered their labour to set up the booths for vendors and also worked the food concession to raise additional funds. The department is looking to raise an estimated $800,000 for a new fire hall and are planning to begin construction on the new building this year.

Ens said “every little bit helps” when it comes to contributing funds to the project. “A thousand dollars is a thousand dollars,” she said. “It’s a lot of money but the fire department and first responders are vital to our community and we need to pull together to make this happen.”

The event saw an estimated 40 tables featuring home-based businesses and craftspeople.

Ens said almost all of the vendors were from the Osler area and said the variety of items offered at the sale were well-received by shoppers.

Ens said previous trade shows have raised funds for other community needs. “We did one to raise money for the

sion coverage or participate in a company retirement plan. As for personal savings, you’ve got your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and other savings and investment accounts. Typically, government and workplace programs provide about 25 per cent to 40 per cent of retirement income, so you can see how important it is to build your personal savings.

Determine if a “retirement gap” exists. You may have heard you’ll need between 70 per cent and 90 per cent of your pre-retirement income to live comfortably in retirement.

While this figure may be generally accurate, it doesn’t take into account different retirement lifestyles. In other words, how you choose to live in retirement will determine how much money you’ll need. If you can develop a good estimate of your retirement income needs and then compare this figure to your estimated retirement income from all sources, you should be able to determine your retirement gap. Of course, these calculations can be challenging, so you may want to work with a professional financial advisor who has the tools

and expertise to help you identify any gaps.

Decide how to fill the gap. If you have indeed identified a retirement gap, you can attempt to bridge it in a few ways. You could, for example, decide to scale down your lifestyle in retirement so that you’ll need less income. Or you could work more years than you had originally intended. But if you want to stick with your initial plan in terms of your desired retirement lifestyle and preferred age at retirement, you may need to invest more to your retirement and other investment accounts.

But just boosting your contributions isn’t enough — you also need to own an appropriate mix of investments to help your money grow over time.

Your financial advisor can help you choose the investment mix that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance and time horizon.

But in any case, don’t wait too long before you tackle the “When can I retire?” question — because the sooner you start working on it, the better the answer you’ll get.

You may greatly enjoy your career and be in no hurry to retire. Or you may be looking forward to retirement so that you can pursue your hobbies, travel or even open your own business. But whatever your plans may be, you’ll need to ask yourself this: “When can I retire?”

To answer this question, you’ll need to take three steps.

First, you’ll have to identify your potential sources of retirement income. Second, you must determine if a gap exists between the financial resources you can expect and the amount you’ll need to retire comfortably. And third, you’ll have to decide how to fill that gap.

Let’s look at these three steps in a bit more detail: Identify your potential sources of retirement income. Your retirement income is likely to come from three main sources: the government, your workplace and your personal savings. From the government, you might be entitled to assistance in the form of Old Age Security (OAS), Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and the Canada Pension Plan/Quebec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP).

Fresh from the farm to the table Warman Farmers Market ready for new season of locally-grown food

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ooking outside at the snow banks and frozen puddles one wouldn’t know it, but fresh food is just a few weeks away.

The Warman Farmers’ Market (WFM) opens for business in early May and, for at least one more year, the openair cooperative market will see vendors selling their wares in the parking lot of Warman City Hall on Klassen Street.

“We’re very excited to be back for another season,” said Pat Reid, volunteer coordinator of the WFM. “Our hope is to be able to open Thursday, May 9.

That is a tentative date because of the weather, of course.”

Reid said the plan is to open before Mother’s Day because at least one vendor has bedding plants and everyone is hopeful the weather warms up before the season kicks off. She noted the WFM will be advertising its opening date and special events in the Clark’s Crossing Gazette, the City of Warman website and on the bulletin board across from the post office as well as the WFM Facebook FIND US ON FACEBOOK FOR FULL LINE OF OUTDOOR FURNITURE

page.

She said there are at least 11 vendors returning for another year, with the possiblity of another three or four new vendors. Members are slated to meet today (April 18) to firm up the cooperative’s plans. The market features products that are locally-made, grown and processed, including baked items, fresh garden produce and locally-produced meats, as well as craft items.

The location of the market has been one of the reasons for its popularity, said Reid, and she is grateful the city is permitting one more year.

“We appreciate it because it is a central location and it’s convenient for seniors and close to other businesses,” she said.

“The support we have received from city hall and the community is great and our customer base grows every year. We’re especially pleased with the diversity of our customers – seniors, young families and even young men from out of town who are in our city working.”

She said the market will feature special “customer appreciation” days with live music, door prizes and free coffee. “We hope people will drop by, check out all our vendors have to offer and socialize while they browse,” she said. Vendors returning for the season include Edith Wingeier (meats and baking), Tom and Brenda How-

A GOOD EXPERIENCE

For farmers looking to connect directly with consumers, farmers’ markets are the perfect vehicle, according to Edith Wingeier of Hague. Aside from Warman, Wingeier is a regular vendor at farmer’s markets in Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

She says while it takes a lot of work to grow and prepare products for direct sale, the rewards are well worth it.

“It’s a very good experience for everyone,” said Wingeier in

an interview at her farm north of Hague. “People look forward all winter to the spring markets opening up. It’s a social occasion to go out and buy groceries at an open-air market. I like to talk to people and explain what goes into the products we sell, how we raise the animals, how we process the meat and the recipes I use for baking.”

Wingeier and her family moved to Canada from Switzerland about 15 years ago and bought a farm. The first couple of years were a bit of a learning experience, but they quickly established themselves within the community. They sell specialty farmers’ sausage, Swiss baking, organic eggs and chickens, gluten-free baking and process

Martensville schools to get modular classrooms

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Elementary school students in Martensville will have a little more elbow room next fall.

Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is purchasing five modular classrooms for Valley Manor and one for Venture Heights schools. The classsrooms are being supplied by Versatile Concepts of Vonda as part of a larger deal that also includes the purchase of 12 modular classrooms from the same manufacturer by the Saskatoon Public School Dvision.

Everyone pitches in on the farm CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

According to Brenda Erickson of PSSD, the modular classrooms are on order for installation this fall, and are scheduled to arrive in June. The classrooms are being installed by a third-party contractor.

Several modular classrooms have been installed in elementary and high schools in Warman and Martensville over the past few years. Similar projects were held up at Valley Manor two years ago because of excessively high soil moisture conditions and that could be a problem again this year.

their own organically-grown meats.

“My husband and my son are both butchers by trade,” said Wingeier. “We have a lot of different original recipes that we use for sausage, mostly. We have beef, buffalo, chicken and pork that goes into our sausage.

We raise everything organically. We don’t use artificial hormones in the animals we raise and we don’t use MSG or any filler – only real meat. That’s important for people who have allergies.”

The smoked meat the family sells uses natural wood – primarily spruce – which adds a

special flavour, said Wingeier.

“We used a lot of spruce back in Switzerland. It’s a little hard to find here but, after so many years, we know where we can get what we need.”

Wingeier said it can be a demanding job, especially during calving season, but everyone in the family pitches in.

“We have 300 laying hens and we have roasting chickens as well,” she said. “We raise about 30 goats and about 100 rabbits and we sell the goat and rabbit meat, which is approved by the health department. We are approved for slaughtering and processing the meat on our own farm.”

Crowning achievement Martensville’s Savanagh Walker named Miss Globe at Top Model pageant

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

Egypt is a magical country and Miss Savanagh Walker brought a little more magic when she landed in El Gouna for the recent Top Model of the World pageant.

Walker wowed the judges, achieving the highest scores and the unexpected title of “Miss Globe.”

“Miss Globe is a very special privilege and it’s an extremely high honour. I had the highest score of all 47 girls and they gave me Miss Globe because they thought it was the best way to acknowledge my accomplishments and give me global recognition,” says Walker.

She didn’t realize that while competing for Top Model of the World, she would also be competing for Miss Globe in a parallel competition.

Walker placed fourth in the Top Model competition.

“This is the first time Canada has placed in the top 15 or even in the top five. Canada hasn’t won in a long time.

This is extremely huge for Saskatchewan and for Canada as well,” explained Walker.

It wasn’t just the great scores in the bikini and evening gown

competitions, or the fact that her interview went really well

that garnered her success [got noticed]. It was more than that.

Over the two-and-a-half weeks of competition Walker said, “one of the things all the judges told me is that my personality shines through, they can tell that I’m real, and how kind and genuinely nice I am and they love my smile,” says Walker. “After years and years of judging they’ve never seen a competitor like me, because I’m so different I’m not a stereo typical pageant girl.

They don’t like to stereotype but there is ‘that girl’ that is all about hair, makeup, and nails.

My life doesn’t revolve around that and they really appreciated that,” she added.

Walker never dreamed she’d find herself in Egypt. “My director Michelle, who is in charge of the Canadian pageant, called me and wanted me to represent Canada because she thought I had the best chance of win-

ning,” explains Walker. “The last place on earth I thought I would be was in Egypt. I couldn’t believe it – going as top model of Canada to Egypt, a place I had always dreamed of going,” she adds.

Walker found the whole experience “life changing.” Her roommate was Australian and the two of them heard people say, “Oh Australia and Canada, we love you,” finding admirable similarities between the two countries. Walker says, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to go to Egypt and be able to represent Canada. I really appreciate the way Canadians live, our lifestyle and the way we treat other countries. I want to make Canada proud because I’m blessed to come from here and Canada is so appreciated throughout the world.”

Walker explains that Egypt is magical and to do as well as she did, she really couldn’t really express it but is really happy about it.

“People don’t understand it.

‘Be realistic; you’re a farm girl from Saskatchewan,’ they say.

But, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. If you have a dream and you work towards it you can do whatever you put your mind to,” notes Walker.

Being in a foreign country halfway around the world on her own, Walker didn’t expect to find the level of support she received from Egyptians.

“As top model of Canada I was wearing my sash and people recognized me and they wanted to help me; in the airport, on the plane, people were always there helping me. The Egyptian people are incredible! I fell in love with Egypt and they fell in love with me.” she stated.

At 19 years of age, this was Walker’s first “Miss” pageant as opposed to the “Teen” successes she has garnered thus far in Saskatchewan, Canada and Argentina. Because this title is so huge, Walker wants to enjoy the next year and be open to whatever is coming next.

Radisson to be home for a storied baby bear

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he baby bear is returning home to Radisson.

A sculpture of a black bear cub, created by the late Bill Epp, will be unveiled at a special ceremony in Radisson this coming August during the community’s 100th anniversary celebration. The statue is being donated by the family of the legendary artist, according to Epp’s daughter, Jean EppGauthier.

Bill Epp (1930-1995) was a professor at the University of Saskatchewan for many decades and his works influenced several generations of sculptors and painters. His works can be found in major cities and small towns across Canada and the United States. A touring exhibition of his sculptures was displayed across Saskatchewan between 2006-2008. He is best known locally for several sculptures in Saskatoon, including Gabriel Dumont astride a horse in Friendship Park, a schoolgirl and her dog in front of Victoria School on Broadway Avenue and a memorial statue for

firefighters in front of a fire hall.

One of Epp’s most famous sculptures is permanently displayed the London Zoo, while an identical sculpture is in Winnipeg. The sculptures depict a bear cub and a First World War soldier in full uniform and is a tribute to the Winnipeg soldier who brought the bear from his home province to London. That bear cub became the inspiration for author A. A. Milne’s classic character, Winnie the Pooh.

Epp did another sculpture of a baby bear that he kept on his acreage at Thirteen Mile Corner (the intersection of Highway 12 and 305). It is this sculpture that is being donated to the Town of Radisson – especially for the community’s centennial celebration – after an arrangement was made recently between the town and the Epp family.

As Jean Epp-Gauthier explained, the donation is being done for sentimental reasons because Bill Epp was devoted to nature and loved animals, and the bear cub is the perfect illustration for a local legend in

Cowboy poet writes from experience on the open range

By TERRY PUGH

Canada and the United States that is growing in popularity, and is part of a long tradition of story-telling among cowboys that goes back to the mid-1800s in North America. “I think it comes from the campfire experience,” he said. “At the end of a long day, there’s a sense of camaraderie. And besides, what else is there to do besides tell stories? They weren’t always

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Dale Colby has been riding the range on a community pasture for over 50 years, so when he writes “Cowboy Poetry” you know it’s the real thing.

Colby read a sampling of his rhymes at the Vanscoy RM ratepayers meeting on Wednesday, April 10 to an appreciative crowd. But, he says it’s not something that he does very often.

“I don’t usually recite my stuff in public,” said Colby in an interview. “I write for myself, my family and friends back home. It’s kind of personal stuff, but it’s also nice that it touches a chord with other folks as well.”

Colby lives in Radville and works as a range rider for a community pasture. He was invited to the meeting by his friend Ron Stevens, a councilor with the RM of Vanscoy. “It was a great excuse for a drive,” he said. “I’ve known Ron for a long time, and it was nice to be asked to come and read to the folks up here. I think they can relate to the poems because they all live in the country.”

While Colby has been in the saddle for decades, he’s still a bit of a greenhorn when it comes to setting poems down on paper. “I’m pretty much a rookie at this stuff,” he said.

“I’ve only been doing it for four

Cowboy poet Dale Colby or five years. I was the last guy you’d ever think would take to writing poetry because I was never that great in school. I don’t know why I picked up the pen, but I just felt like it one day. I started writing about stuff that happened. I don’t make any of this up. It’s all true. I take what I see and put it down on paper.”

based on reality, of course. A lot of it was tall tales.”

That’s also where the musical tradition started, Colby said, although he doesn’t have any pretensions about branching out into writing songs.

“Corb Lund is a guy who does a lot of cowboy poetry and is a great musician,” said Colby.

“But even the cows don’t want to hear me sing.”

Bachelor farmers’ collection prompts auction interest

AUCTION

This Week’s Crossword

FARM

Harvey & Frida Unger

By TERRY PUGH

Hague, SK

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

At one time, bachelor brothers often farmed together in Saskatchewan.

But those days are pretty much long gone, and so is the tradition many of them had of squirreling away all kinds of farm equipment, vehicles and lord-knows-what-else in their sheds and quonsets on the farm.

An auction slated for April 28 a short distance south of Saskatoon provides a window on that vanishing world, as the collection of Ken and Vern Pfeifer goes up for sale. Michelle Beaudoin of Kramer Auctions says this pair of elderly bachelors had a colourful farming history.

“Vern passed away last fall, but Ken is still fairly sharp, and has a lot of interesting stories,” Beaudoin said. “Their history is unique but so is the auction. It has a mix of machinery from old to new with both grain and livestock items. The auction will be held at their farmyard, which has a lot of character with a beautiful old barn, old “These types of Eaton’s home, situated amongst auctions are geta well-treed es- ting to be few and tablished farm far between ...” yard.”

She said the • Michelle Beaudoin, two brothers Kramer Auctions took “phenomenal care” of their equipment and their home. “Some of the equipment is just amazing,” she said. “Some of the tractors may be old physically, but they’re in immaculate shape with very low hours. They have a 2006 tractor that’s basically brand new. It only has 694 hours on it. A lot of the tractors are from the 1963 to 1965 era.”

She said the auction has a lot of entertainment value. “It’s almost like a show and shine,” she said.

Beaudoin said the auction company has been fielding calls from across western Canada as people find out about the equipment coming up for sale. “People are keen to take a look at and bid on some the rare equipment these men have in their collection,” she said. “These types of auctions are getting to be few and far between.” A listing is available online at www.kramerauction.com .

The pastures are not always greener on the other side.

Exchange your envy for gratitude for what you have, and watch your blessings multiply, Capricorn.

Look before you leap, Aquarius. More thought, less talk, and the solution will come. Romance burns bright at home. Take advantage of it.

A film leads to introspection, which leads to a walk down memory lane. A reunion is inevitable, and you’re just the one to plan it, Pisces.

All hands on deck, Aries. You can’t go it alone this time.

A friend’s casual observations make you rethink a project. Perhaps you should hire a pro.

Strategize, Taurus. Devise a plan of attack before you begin for the best results possible. Budgetary constraints lift with a new source of revenue.

Conflict hits a new high. You could play mediator, but why bother when there is fun to be had, Gemini. Look to an outdoor adventure to ease the tension.

An announcement is made and congratulations are in order. Be gracious, Cancer, and it will be your turn next. A meddling in-law pushes the envelope.

Clip and save is the motto of this week, Leo. You could use an improvement in your bottom line, and getting there will be easy with all of the savings around you.

Feel like you’ve had too much of a good thing, Virgo?

Perhaps you have. Stop taking and start giving back. You won’t believe the change that comes about.

Lace up your boots, Libra. Life as you know it is about to get adventurous. A friend goes out of their way to include you in their plans.

A loved one makes an announcement. Don’t rain on their parade, Scorpio. Congratulate them and keep your reservations to yourself. A deadline is extended.

Forget about it, Sagittarius. Stop trying to figure out what the competition has up their sleeves and start fine-tuning your own plans. Something is off.

Langham holds 2012 Depression Days Dinner at museum

By SELA BALZER

Langham Correspondent

Attendance was down slightly from that of the 2012 Depression Days Dinner but the spirit of those who came out was far from down. It was truly a time of good food and great company.

As has come to be expected at all special Museum and Plus 60’s events there is a door prize and this year was no exception. One of the ‘regulars’ at the morning’s coffee time left early but before he did so he paid $5 for a Depression Day meal ticket. When asked to put his name in for the door prize draw he said that he may not be back for the meal but just wanted to support the cause. His name was tossed in the draw box anyway in appreciation for his support.

He never did come back for dinner but there was a loud cheer when his name was drawn as the winner. The moral of this story is Pete Ens ‘paid it forward’ and ended up the recipient of a basket of goodies.

Also a winner was Edie Waldner, Edie took home a packet of items that were first introduced in the Depression era, these being Macaroni and cheese, Spam, Kool Aid and Ritz crackers . The Museum committee would like to recognize everyone who supported this event, by way of their attendance, and would also like to send a huge ‘tip of the hat’ to the many who made donations of food. You know who you are so please accept this personally.

Wear Pink Day

Have you heard of it? No? Well you have now.

Wear Pink Day is in support of Anti Bullying. The Plus 60 coffee people will be serving pink treats to everyone wearing something pink that comes for coffee on Friday April 19.

This is in conjunction with the Town of Langham’s Community Kick-Off event that will be held in the Community hall that same evening. Keep your eyes and ears open as there is more to come. The Wear Pink Day and the Anti-Bullying Community Kick-Off events are just the beginning of a much larger Anti-Bullying Initiative yet to come. It’s happening here in Langham first, be a part of

it!

Perogie Making Class

Will be held April 23. Together with the Parks & Rec, the Museum is sponsoring a Heritage Day at which they will be hosting a Perogie Making Class at the Museum. Anyone interested is asked to bring $10, a rolling pin, (preferably marble) and a container or roaster as this is a ‘Make ‘n Take’ . There are only eight spots per class so register early.

Pot Luck Supper

The invitation is open to all to attend the monthly Pot Luck Suppers; hosts for the Wednesday April 24th buffet are Paul and Shirley Ikert.

Ticket issued for driver clocked at over 200 km/h CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

Saskatoon city limits, Garnet said the problem is rampant throughout the RM. “Tickets of that nature are commonplace for us,” he said.

“The highest speed for which we issued a speeding ticket recently was 215 kilometers per hour on Highway 16 near Langham. That’s not unusual.

We regularly write tickets for speeds in excess of 50 kilometers per hour over the posted speed limit.”

Garnet said other provinces, including Alberta and BC, have laws that allow for mandatory suspension of drivers’ licenses or registration for vehicles travelling in excess of 40 to 50 ki-

lometers over the speed limit.

“It would be a good idea if Saskatchewan had a law like that as well,” he said.

With construction season already in full swing, Garnet said the RM Police Service will be stepping up enforcement of speed limits in construction zones. “Provincial legislation has been amended to allow for triple the fine in construction zones,” he said. “During a single weekend on the Dalmeny Access road, we wrote 10 tickets to speeders in that construction zone. The average fine was $360 - so it’s expensive.”

The rules regarding signage in construction zones have also

been changed in an effort to protect workers.

NUISANCE BYLAW

Garnet said the police service is also aiming to be more proactive in tackling the RM’s nuisance abatement bylaw by identifying properties with excessive junk and unsightly premises, and speaking to the landowner to educate him or her about the bylaw before initiating legal action.

“It’s expensive for ratepayers to have to go through the courts,” he said. “We would prefer to work with the landowner to fix the problem before going that route.”

Royal Purple Day, when Borden, Radisson and Maymont 50+ are invited, was set for June 5 at 2 p.m. and Friendship Night will be held in Saskatoon June 25 with a supper and program.

Derek (formerly of Radisson) and Amy Green, now living in Medecine Hat, have a son Dexter, born September 25, 2012, with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), had an operation at three-days-old and was in a Calgary hospital on oxygen until January of 2013 when he was allowed to go home on weekend passes. When Dexter was born his stomach, intestines, kidney and spleen were all up in his left chest cavity causing his left lung to be one quarter the size it should be and has constant acid reflux.

They have applied for him to go to Toronto’s Sick Children’s Hospital and they are trying to raise needed funds for expenses. Radisson Lodge donated $100 and will send forms to apply for assistance from Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children. Former Radisson residents now in Saskatoon are Gerry Scott, who is a great grandmother, and Vicky Green is the grandmother.

The Borden Community Centre Preservation Committee held a very successful gigantic garage sale on Saturday, April 13 with rows and rows of tables filled with items for

sale. In the Senior’s room they had the new or best items on display for silent auction and those all sold with the committee raising over $2,500. Grad 2013 sold burgers, hot dogs, pie, squares and beverages in the Senior’s room and they had a steady flow of customers all day. The BCCPC are a hard working group who have done many improvements to the community centre and are appreciated for all their efforts along with everyone else who helped or attended the day and bought items.

Dan Bursey, a musician, song writer, children’s entertainer and worship leader from Newfoundland, along with Deb McNab, Quinn and Bruin Eberle of North Battleford were in Borden on April 11 entertaining at the school over the noon hour, at the care home in the afternoon, then a free concert in the community centre in the evening. After the potluck supper with over 50 attending plus more for the concert, Quinn and Bruin Eberle entertained first. Quinn, a great young fiddle player along with her brother, Bruin, who sings, plays guitar, mandolin and harmonica, went through a medley of tunes such as Red Wing, Ramona, along with gospel songs. Dan then entertained with some children’s action songs like Stand Up, Sit Down, Don’t Pick Your Nose, Double Double and closed his set with gospel songs Down to the River, Working and Lean On The Everlasting Arms.

The Eberle duo came back to play and sing a few more like Bo Jangle, McNab’s Hornpipe, Will The Circle Be Unbroken and closed with two fast Celtic tunes. Deb McNab and Dan both spoke about Compassion Canada, which connects sponsors with children in 26 countries and helps bring the stories of Jesus into their lives, to let kids make a difference and help change the world. Quinn and Bruin sponsor a child, along with Deb’s children and many others. A couple of us decided to sponsor children in El Salvador and I have a 10-yearold boy named Felipe. When you sponsor a child you are helping the whole family to get an education and have proper food and other necessities. Deb and her co-workers with Compassion Canada will be travelling to El Salvador in January and can take a small parcel down to them.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2013

Improvements made to highway construction zones When construction season begins this spring, Saskatchewan motorists will see improved signage in highway work zones, ensuring that the speed limits are “black and white”.

“We’re making it ‘black-andwhite’ for drivers,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “With the introduction of the new signage, all drivers need to do is follow the signs for the safety of our workers and for their own safety, so we can prevent future tragedies.”

When a driver first encounters the highway work zone,

they will see an orange sign with a black image of a worker on it and a tab that identifies “Workers Present”. This will be followed by a black and white speed sign of 60 km/h.

At this point the driver must legally slow to 60 km/h, no exceptions. The black-and-white sign is a regulatory speed sign, like all speed signs across the country, indicating the legal maximum speed.

A driver will know they are approaching the end of the work zone by a sign that says “End of Work Area” followed by another “black-and-white” regulatory sign that indicates

the driver can resume the posted maximum speed limit.

The new signage is one of many measures that are being taken to clear up confusion and keep workers and drivers safe in work zones. Others include: Heavier fines for drivers caught speeding in the work zone - previously, fines started at $140 and increased by $2-$4 for every km/h over the speed limit. Now, the base fine will be $210 and will increase by $3 for every kilometre over the speed limit, up to a speed of 90 km/h, and $6 for every kilometre over 90 km/h. For a driver who speeds through a work

zone at 100 km/h, this would result in a fine of $450 plus a victim surcharge of $80 for a total of $530.

Rumble strips and gates that alert the driver that they are entering a work zone. These were implemented last fall and will be placed on major construction projects on the province’s busiest highways.

Photo radar will be implementating photo radar in some work zones later this year.

“We need these new signing measures, plus education and enforcement, to make a real change in driving behaviour in the work zone,” McMorris said.
