By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

A new rescue unit has become a necessity for the Dalmeny Fire Department. “The current unit has served its life expectancy,” said fire chief Rick Elder at the department’s annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday. Donations from the breakfast will go towards the new rescue unit, which serves a critical role as a multi-purpose unit that does all the first responder calls, medical calls, serves as the initial instant command post, and provides crew transport. The event, held at the Dalmeny arena, is also designed to keep community residents up to date. “It is about public education and awareness of what we do in the community. Fire is a big thing, but there’s medical, there’s rescue,” added Elder. The department has joined neighbouring communities in a regional initiative that will prepare and train them to respond to building collapses. “This year we’re actually promoting a new Light Urban Search and Rescue Team (LUSAR) that we developed regionally to respond to building collapses as a result of snow loading, tornadoes, and that sort of thing. We can go in and rescue people in collapsed buildings,” explains Elder. The communities of Langham, Martensville, Warman, Osler and Hepburn as well as Dalmeny are all part of the new LUSAR team. “Light Urban” refers to the kind of structures that would be found in these communities; wood frame dwellings, light concrete. “We don’t have tall concrete structures you would find in larger centers, where you’d get into heavy stuff, so right now we’re starting with the light. It involves building collapses, shoring, tunneling in, and it can even get into trench collapse,” say Elder. One of the big things Elder has been trying to promote is emergency preparedness. Given the flooding that’s been going on, and some close calls with severe weather over the past couple of summers, residents need to be prepared to look after themselves for 72

Borden Co-op

Annual Meeting Postponed due to Bordon town flooding Fire chief Rick Elder of the Dalmeny Fire Department with the Command Centre vehicle hours. The Red Cross provided a kit so people can see what a preparedness kit is all about, along with some handouts. “My main concern is how many people would have enough provisions for 72 hours if the store wasn’t open and the water was shut off. We’re pretty used to all the conveniences,” says Elder. Joanne Elder, the chief’s wife is the EMO coordinator who looks after this. Carlos Villafuerte was on hand to demonstrate different knots used by the department for the kids in an interactive manner. They play with the physics a bit, pulling 50 pounds with a rope and then with the mechanical advantage, which makes 50 pounds feel like 10.

The command centre is the department’s office on wheels, which is especially critical for longer term events of a day or more. It offers wireless internet, mapping capabilities, cell phone, communications centre, fax, and washroom. The command centre was used Sunday in Langham for a final practical exercise for the LUSAR training and served as the brain centre for that exercise. Elder has been fire chief for 16 years and is thrilled to work with the Dalmeny crew. “They’re a great bunch of people, they’re hard working, they

Liquor sales approved by Hepburn voters By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Residents of Hepburn have voted to allow the sale of liquor in their community. A referendum on whether to allow a government-regulated private liquor franchise in the town was held on Wednesday, May 1. Residents voted 155 in favour and 109 in opposition to the question, with no spoiled ballots. It was a clear majority of WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE 59 per cent in favour, said Get stories like this plus more photos Andrew Spriggs, adminbefore anyone else! Breaking news istrator of the Town of as it happens online for free at: Hepburn. In an interview www.ccgazette.ca on Friday, May 3, Spriggs told The Gazette the results are binding on town council. “What happens now is that the results of the vote will be presented to the next town council meeting on Monday, May 15 and, from there, a letter will be sent to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA), indicating that if SLGA decides to grant Hepburn a liquor franchise, then the town will accept it,” explained Spriggs. “It’s up to SLGA to make the decision about whether to grant a liquor franchise in the town.” Spriggs said the issue was controversial. “It was definitely a hot topic,” he said. “The town council deliberated on it for several months and finally decided it was an issue that was too big for the council alone to decide and they felt it should be put to a vote by all town residents.” Spriggs estimated the voter turnout in the referen-

dum at between 60 and 70 per cent of eligible voters, noting it was comparable to the most recent municipal election last fall. “It was a very high turnout,” he said. “It’s a little hard to say exactly what the percentage of voters was because we don’t have a voters list for the municipality, but it was definitely over 60 per cent.” The issue came to the fore after the Hepburn Co-op indicated a desire to include a liquor franchise as part of its operation. The Co-op is the only major retailer in the community of over 500 people – selling petroleum, groceries, hardware and other items. Spriggs said it is expected the Hepburn Co-op will now proceed with its application to the SLGA to sell liquor. However, he noted, there may be other existing businesses, or even new ones, that may also apply for the franchise. “There is no guarantee it will automatically be granted to the Co-op,” said Spriggs. “The SLGA will look at a lot of different criteria and make their decision according to their rules. Potentially there could be other businesses that also apply.” Hepburn, which went from village to town status last October, was founded over 100 years ago by mainly Mennonite settlers. The sale of liquor has not been allowed in the community until now. Other communities in the region that do not allow the sale of liquor at either privately-owned franchises or in licensed restaurants include Dalmeny and Waldheim.

Dundurn Spray Park set to open this summer By KIRA OLFERT

kira_mchaggis@yahoo.ca

The Canada Day long weekend this year will see the ribbon-cutting of the Dundurn Community Spray Park. A signature project of the Dundurn Lion’s Club, the Spray Park has seen the community of just over 600 work together on a wide variety of fundraising projects, including bottle drives, raffles and snowmobile rallies. All the proceeds from last September’s annual Dundurn Mud Drags also went towards the park. In just a little over a year, the town has raised $18,000 for the project. Dundurn Lion’s Club President Greg Hawes says the idea for a spray park was first suggested three years ago, but with the recent influx of young families into the area, last year, with the cooperation and encouragement from these families, the idea took shape. The entire area is now behind the project.

The Dundurn Spray Park will be next door to the community hall According to Hawes, “in the past, because we have a smaller population, it has at times been difficult to get enough volunteers for events. But for the mud drags last year, we had 40 to 50 people show up to help.” Hawes also points to donations towards the park, saying “one of the ladies in town won a bike rack at a home show, and she has donated that to the park.

Kelsey Pipelines have stepped up huge and offered to do all of the piping for us. DaCor Doors has donated two steel doors for our maintenance and washroom building, and the wood for that was donated by the Department of National Defence, from the base at Dundurn. It has really become a community affair.” The Town of Dundurn allocated land for the proj-

ect, directly west of the Community Hall. In addition, the park received a $20,000 Communities and Infrastructure Grant from the provincial government, and Hawes said that, along with all of the donations, has allowed the project to “move forward faster than we ever

Hundreds of residents of Osler and area turned out on Wednesday, May 1 to help raise funds for a new fire hall in the community. A soup and pie supper pulled in a total of $5,023.05 for the cause, according to Kathryn Wall, one of the organizers of the event. Wall and fundraising coordinator Kristen Neufeld were overwhelmed by the response to the initiative. “It’s pretty amazing,” said Wall in an interview while working in the kitchen at the Osler Community Hall during the event. “I can’t believe how many people are here. We have twice the amount of food we had last year and we’re already starting to run low.” Wall said she sent out letters in late April to residents in the community asking for donations of food for the supper and inviting volunteers to help out. She said people are more than willing to do what they can to make the new fire hall a reality. Wall said the fundraising efforts will

be ongoing, even after the fire hall is built. “It’s a constant need,” she said. “The fire department is such an important asset to the community. We need a fire hall and we also need to keep upgrading the equipment and the vehicles.” Osler Fire Chief Jason Pauls confirmed there has been roughly $300,000 raised so far and there’s still a long way to go to reach the overall goal of between $800,000 and $1 million. But, he added, the new building will be built in stages, so work can be done as money comes in. “We’re planning to have the land for the hall serviced in the next couple of weeks,” said Pauls. “Once the building itself is erected, we can finish off the inside and complete the interior of the building as we go along.” The new fire hall will be located on the service road parallel to Highway 11 on the eastern edge of town. Pauls said the massive turnout at this fundraiser shows the “tremendous buyin” by the residents. “We do a lot for the community and they do a lot to help us. That’s what it’s all about.”

Three individuals face charges

Highway 16 police shooting investigation continues

BILL REWUSKI | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Crews have been working day and night to create new channels for water to flow through

The Regina Police Service and RCMP are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding an incident on Friday, April 26 where an RCMP officer discharged a firearm on Highway 16 near Clavet. Cpl. Rob King of the RCMP said the events which led up to the discharge of the firearm fall to the original investigating agency, in this case, the RCMP. “The investigation in regards to the use of force by the RCMP members is still currently under investigation by the Regina Police Service,” said King in a press release on Thursday, May 2. “The Regina Police Service will report the results of their investigation to the Ministry of Justice and the provincial At-

torney General.” Three people are now facing charges as a result of the RCMP investigation that started with complaints of break and enters in the Watrous area. Charges have been laid against Derek Marlon Cote, Erin Tootoosis and Karen Hillmer. All three are from Imperial, Sask. Cote, 35, is facing charges of assaulting a police officer with a weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of firearms obtained by the commission of an offense, possession of firearms while prohibited, possession of property obtained by the commission of an offence, and break, enter and theft. Cote is currently remanded in custody and will appear in court once he is discharged from hospital. Tootoosis, 33, is charged with

possesssion of property obtained by the commission of an offence. She is scheduled to make her first appearance in provincial court in Saskatoon on June 27. Hillmer, 57, is also charged with possession of property obtained by the commission of an offence and will be making her first apperance in provincial court in Saskatoon on June 27. A second male subject who was arrested at the scene on Highway 16 was released from custody with no charges. King encourages anyone who may have been victims of break and enter in the Watrous area, or who may have witnessed events leading up to the arrests during the initial traffic stop, to contact their local RCMP detachment.

Flood danger eases in Radisson and Salt-Water Moon shines brightly Borden, but water levels still high By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Water levels in Borden and Radisson are still high as both communities struggle to protect homes and businesses from flooding, but there’s an air of cautious optimism that the worst may soon be over. “Generally, things are looking at little better than they have been for a week,” said Radisson Mayor Don Tanner in an intervew on Friday, May 3. “We’ve been able to shut off some of the pumps in town and we’re just trying to regulate the amount of water flowing through on its own. The flow is in line with what we expected and what we’re prepared for.” Radisson was able to lift its state of emergency on Monday, May 6. Tanner said over the past week the town has had four pumps going full blast, each of which with the capability of pumping a million gallons per hour. “So each pump was moving about 90 million gallons a day,” he said. “And, with four of them working around the clock, that gives you an idea of how much water we’ve pushed through town.” He said the objective was to create room for additional water in the reservoir outside town. The extra capacity will be needed to handle the water that is coming once the rest of the snow in the watershed melts. “I’m not even going to guess how much is still coming our way,” he said. “But we’re confident that the measures we’ve put in place will be able to handle it. We’re trying to get through as much water as possible. Tanner said aside from moving the residents of

the seniors villa temporarily the first night, there have been no evaculations and no major damage to homes in the community. Dozens of volunteers have worked tirelessly over the past week to fill and pile sandbags, dig trenches and berms and help out in other ways. Tanner said he was amazed at how the community has pulled together in a time of crisis. “People are muddy and tired, but nobody is grouchy,” he said. “They’re happy. We’re all tired together. I think this has strengthed the bonds of unity in town and the impact it has had has been awesome. There are so many instances of kindess and love, it’s very refreshing to see.” Tanner said he’s also been impressed with the response of SaskEnergy. “They have been out to ensure they’re doing all they can,” he said. “There are many positive things we can learn from this and I think one of the lessons is that the crown utilities should be on the site of an emergency situation as soon as possible after it’s declared. Their expertise and advice is needed in small communiites. It’s one thing to plan an emergency scenario around a table. It’s quite another thing to actually be faced with an emergency situation and have to respond as best you can with limited resources.”

OPTIMISM IN BORDEN

Borden Mayor Dave Buckingham is also looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel. “I’m a little more optimistic than I was a few days ago,” said Buckingham in an interview Friday, May 3. “I wouldn’t

say the worst is over yet. It’s still rising but not as fast as it was before. We’re not out of the woods yet but we’re not in any immediate danger either.” Buckingham said the dredging of a large ditch for about a mile or two alongside the railway tracks helped divert a significant amount of floodwater away from the town. “That definitely helped move that backlog of water threatening the village,” he said. “Without that excavation work it could easily have taken another week or two to move that water and we didn’t have that kind of time. It could have been much worse, that’s for sure.” Buckingham said two large pumps, each with a 580 horsepower engine capable of moving roughly 30 thousand gallons of water per minute through 14-inch lines, proved to be a massive help in keeping the flow moving through the community. He said there were a couple homes in the community where residents voluntarily evacuated and an estimated five homes suffered flood damage. “Our infrastructure took a beating and there will be a lot of cleaning up to do when this is all over,” he noted. “Hopefully there will be funding we can tap into from the province.” Buckingham said the response of volunteers to help the village cope with the crisis was inspiring and humbling. “We had travellers on the highway stop and help out,” he said. “We had school kids and inmates from the Saskatoon Correctional Centre Urban Camp and people from all over helping. “Everyone has been great and we’re coming out of this experience with a good feeling.”

The Station Arts Centre is proud to announce the Summer Theatre Production for 2013 – David French’s Salt-Water Moon directed by Saskatoon’s Johnna Wright. Wright has directed a number of award-winning productions, including most recently The Importance of Being Earnest, A Christmas Story, and Little Women for Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre. The Station Arts Centre is located 35 minutes north of Saskatoon in Rosthern in a beautifully renovated 1901 CN train station. On a sparkling moonlit evening on the little patch of rock known as Coley’s Point, Newfoundland, a love story unfolds. Former sweethearts Mary Snow and Jacob Mercer discover the humours and disappointments of young love as Jacob tries to win back Mary’s affec-

tions. This charming gem of a play – funny, evocative, and lovingly written – will fill the audience with wanderlust and inspire a yearning to return home. Salt-Water Moon features an incredibly talented cast of two: the charismatic Aaron Hursh and the charming Caitlin Vancoughnett. These vibrant actors will play the roles of Jacob Mercer and Mary Snow, the characters who were made famous by French’s semi-autobigraphical plays in the Mercer family saga. Theresa Germain’s costume design will bring patrons back to the early twentieth century. Jenna Maren, a rising star from the University of Saskatchewan, is returning for a second season as set designer – transporting audiences from the prairie town of Rosthern to the rocky coast of Newfoundland. David Grang-

er returns to the Station Arts Centre as the lighting designer of this warm-hearted love story that takes place under a full moon. Jacob Yaworski, last seen on the Station Arts Centre stage in the 2012 production of “Jake and the Kid,” is returning to the Station as stage manager of Salt-Water Moon. This show promises to be a wonderful production that will be talked about for years to come. At the heart of it, Salt-Water Moon is a story about young love. Performances run July 5-28 in the evenings on Tuesdays through Saturdays with matinees on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Pre-show dinners are available by reservation. The Station Arts Centre summer theatre productions are always very popular with audiences from across the country, so call early to reserve seats.

PSSD student receives award for heroism Robyn Murphy, a student from Pike Lake, was presented with the first-ever Prairie Spirit Board of Education Award of Excellence for her heroic actions during a tragic event earlier this year. Murphy was a passenger on a school bus when the driver of the bus suffered a fatal heart attack. Murphy was the first to provide aid to the driver, as well as contacting the school principal and keeping the other students calm in a tense situatioon. The award was presented by Larry Pavloff, Chair of the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Board of Education at the school divison’s annual general meeting in Langham on Monday, May 6. Pavloff said the award is intended to honour staff, students, community members

picked up Mr. Jeffries and followed Mrs. Landry to Mrs. Harasyn’s bus. “At Mrs. Harasyn’s bus, Bus Driver Leslie Cross and two others were attempting to help Mrs. Harasyn, while Robyn and the students were still on the bus. Mr. Schlosser and Mrs. Landry began to evacuate the students and get them on a different bus and to the school,” continued Pavloff. “Mr. Jeffries helped to control the scene, getting vehicles to move and ensuring the safety of all others around the bus. Mrs. Landry continued to help calm the students and get their belongings off the bus, while Mr. Schlosser and Mrs. Cross attempted to resuscitate Mrs. Harasyn. “Once the local First Responders (including Educational Associate Laura McElwee) arrived at the bus, school staff

and parents, and is designed to recognize extraordinary and heroic efforts. Pavloff said during the morning bus run on March 18, 2013, PSSD school bus driver Deb Harasyn approached Delisle and stopped her bus in advance of the railway tracks. Murphy noticed that Deb Harasyn was in distress. She tried to help the driver, but got no response. She then contacted the school. “While helping Mrs. Harasyn, Robyn also helped the students to stay calm,” said Pavloff. “She contacted the school to talk to Principal Schlosser and let him know that she could not get a response from Mrs. Harasyn. Mr. Schlosser, Vice Principal Jeffries and Teacher Edla Landry immediately left the school in an attempt to get to the bus and help. Mr. Schlosser got on Mrs. Dana Norris’ bus,

remained and helped until the bus was brought back to the school. “Mrs. Harasyn passed away that day leaving behind her loving husband, Jack, and son, Cole. “The staff members who assisted in this tragic event were unable to attend this evening and so will be recognized at their school,” he said. Pavloff said the PSSD Board is honored to have the opportunity to personally thank and recognize student Robyn Murphy. “As Principal Schlosser says, ‘Robyn’s quick thinking and actions were heroic and made a terrible situation so much better than it could have been.’ For your extraordinary actions, we are honored to present you with the first Prairie Spirit Board of Education Award of Excellence,” Pavloff concluded.

kira_mchaggis@yahoo.ca

The Province of Saskatchewan is still considering two proposals that could possibly see the re-opening of the area around Mount Blackstrap Ski Resort. While government officials cannot divulge full details of the proposals at this time, Kevin Engel, manager of business development and leasing for the Ministry of Parks, Sport and Culture, confirms that the two proposals are from a pair of Saskatoon-based interests and that neither of the proposals calls for the ski hill to re-open. “The ideas put forth in these packages are more in keeping with what we see in traditional provincial park services,” Engel stated. There are a number of processes the applications have to go through before anything can be approved, including getting on the Provincial Cabinet’s agenda for approval. But, with spring flooding a more immediate concern for the government, Engel expects getting a meeting with Cabinet could take some time and says that nothing will happen at Blackstrap this year. British Columbia-based businessman Torey Spink withdrew his application for de-

velopment of Blackstrap last month, stating that he did not expect a big enough return on

his investment to go ahead with his idea to turn Blackstrap into a year-round resort.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 PG. 6

Time to tighten leash By GREGORY THOMAS

Canadian Taxpayers Association

COMMENTARY

Tempers flared recently in Ottawa when the Harper government tabled new legislation that will give it tighter control over negotiations with unions at crown corporations, such as Canada Post, Via Rail and the CBC. The big-spending bureaucrats have begun to grow accustomed to so-called ‘interference’ from the elected Prime Minister and his caucus. But the high-priced executives who manage government-owned companies have enjoyed, until now, special status: they are paid like business people, with none of the risk. They can provide unpopular products, deliver mediocre customer service, and lose dollars by the billions. But the taxpayer is always there, at the end of the day, to stroke another cheque, cover the losses, and make everything better. The same is true of unionized employees at government-owned companies. They enjoy higher hourly pay than the rest of us. They get sick more often – or at least they take more paid sick days. They retire earlier on average, than the rest of us do. The overwhelming majority of them enjoy guaranteed monthly pension benefits, indexed to rise with the cost of living, with additional benefits for their surviving spouse when they pass away. Working for government or a government-owned company is a privileged status that extends into the afterlife. So Ottawa’s officialdom considered it rude for Harper and his ministers to use budget legislation to elbow their way into contract negotiations between unions and 47 government-owned companies. The Globe and Mail reported that “union leaders, academics, and opposition parties reacted strongly” to the budget legislation (after all, who else’s opinion matters?), quoting George Smith, a unionized university professor who previously worked at the CBC, who called it “reprehensible.” “There’s been no discussion or debate about this and there’s no sense that this is what the Canadian public wants,” huffed professor Smith. While the rest of us were attempting to dodge becoming one of the 417,000 private-sector job losses during the 2008-2009 financial meltdown, the federal government was actually adding to its payroll and boosting wages and benefits at the same time. Payroll costs grew at a compounded annual rate of 7.1 per cent between 2006 and 2011, from $29 billion to $42.3 billion. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), the average cost of a federal government employee jumped from $86,000 when the Harper government took office in 2006 to $111,379 in 2011. Highly skilled union negotiators have been playing the federal government like a sucker at a high-stakes poker game, using rich contract settlements at government-owned companies as examples for the next round of demands from the government itself. It’s no wonder they prefer the old way of doing business. Harper’s surgical initiative – to insert some spine into government negotiating teams – should improve the odds for taxpayers.

Valuable Crowns still in fashion In this day and age when so much of the Saskatchewan economy is being driven by the private sector, it’s easy to forget the value of the province’s Crown corporations.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

After all, with increased retail sales, record export trade, booming oil and potash revenue and even a strong agricultural sector where producers no longer have to sell their wheat through a government agency, it’s easy to assume government ownership is passé. At best, the Crown corporations aren’t top-of-mind among Saskatchewan voters who are betting on the on-going success or our resource sector. At worst, the Crowns are seen by some as a rather antiquate notion of the previous NDP government, all too eager to jack up rates to pay high public sector salaries. Some may even wonder if the Crowns even still serve a purpose or whether we would be better off selling the lot of

them. Heck, there will soon be two full-service private liquor stores in both Regina and Saskatoon – yet another example of Saskatchewan people departing from the age-old notion here that government ownership is better. Well, whether government truly needs to be in every business – including liquor retail – is a reasonable question. That one of the new “private” liquor storeowners in Saskatoon will be a Coop store says much about how our thinking is changing. But when it comes to the more basic question of the value of Crown corporations, no one should understand their worth more than Saskatchewan Party MLAs now in government. Nor should Sask. Party MLAs who now represent all of Saskatchewan’s rural voters underestimate the value the service the Crowns are providing their constituents. The value of the Crowns to the government – and also Saskatchewan taxpayers – was best expressed in the 2012 Crown Investment Corp. (CIC) annual report that showed $479 million in

Reader Opinions

Nurse practitioners part of solution

A hot political topic has long been lack of accessible, quality, affordable primary health care services, especially in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide high quality, accessible, affordable sustainable patient care in various settings. The NP student is a registered nurse with at least 2 years experience prior to entry to the NP program. Because an NP student has the earning capacity of an RN, they don’t qualify for government loans. The “new” Saskatchewan Student Loan forgiveness program announced April 9 by

Minister Weeks, on behalf of the Minister of Advanced Education Don Morgan, is inaccessible to the vast majority of NP students because they don’t qualify for the loan. Education programs for NPs have high drop out rates, often due to financial burdens placed on the NP student. Announcements such as that made on April 9 are misleading to the public as far as recruitment and retention, show

lack of knowledge of realities for NP students, and show lack of regard for NPs in providing health care services in Saskatchewan.

overall profits that will translate into $364 million in dividends. Included in that total were profits of $159 million, $130 million, $107 million, $82 million and $52 million for SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskEnergy, SGI and the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, respectively. Even Information Services Corp. – the land titles Crown that the government is trying to sell – made a tidy $21-million profit. While not necessarily a record year, 2012 may very well have been the most profitable year for the Crowns that did not involve the sale of assets. For a Sask. Party government that recently got another tongue lashing from the provincial auditor for keeping two sets of books, it’s these Crown profits that are now balancing the general revenue fund (GRF). After all, this is a government that did not set aside one nickel it its March GRF budget for flooding. But the value of the Crowns goes well beyond bailing out politicians when it comes to the balanced sheet. Their greatest value is providing services to Saskatchewan people – especially rural people –

that they might not otherwise get. We have frequently explored this topic when discussing the perennial money-losing Saskatchewan Transportation Company. But it may be a surprise to some to know that even profitable Crowns are providing services that their private sector competition won’t provide. Take SaskTel that competes with private land, cellular, Internet and television signal providers. Private suppliers do not provide 4G high-speed Internet outside the cities or any Internet services to First Nations or communities of less than 150 people. SaskTel as a publicly owned enterprise, however, does do this. And, of course, its cell phone service simply covers a far wider rural area than any private cell provider. Admittedly, the Crowns are not perfect, as anyone who has dealt with them will attest. But both the Crown corporations’ profits and their wide mandate for service make them less out-of-date in Saskatchewan than some may think.

Water levels expected to rise in flood-prone areas of Corman Park By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park’s new Director of Public Works has his work cut out for him.

Joe Stewart’s first week on the job comes at a time when the RM is gearing up for higher water levels in the most floodprone areas. Stewart was introduced to Corman Park councillors at their regular meeting on May 6. The RM has been without a Director of Public Works for several months, but work has been carried out under the RM’s two public works supervisors. “The situation is dire in the area around Osler,” said Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park in an interview during a break in the council meeting. “We are talking about all the water that is coming from Buzz Lake. There’s still plenty of ice on the lake, and the water is still rising. We haven’t seen the peak yet. This is just the beginning. We’re coming into some very hot days now and we’re expecting a rush of water.” Adam Tittemore, Acting Administrator for the RM of Corman Park, said the public works staff is working “fullout” in an effort to stay on top of the situation in the most badly-affected areas. “The worst area right now is east of Osler and towards Blumenheim,” he noted. “It varies quite a lot across the RM. In North Corman Park we’ve had quite a few road closures because of water over the road, or we’ve had to cut roads to allow water to flow through.” A total of 35 road closures were listed on the RM of Corman Park website on Monday, May 6. The list is updated daily at www.rmcormanpark. ca .

Defensive dog-walking reduces risks With warmer weather finally here, more people are using municipal trails and streets to walk their dogs. The increased amount of traffic of the two and four legged kind also means a higher chance of animal bites. Saskatoon Health Region encourages people to be responsible pet owners. Last year, Saskatoon Health Region Population and Public Health investigators dealt with 460 cases of reported animal exposures. Almost 80 per cent of those involved domestic dogs and cats. These pets were usually in the presence of the owner when the incident occurred. Saskatoon Health Region Population and Public Health is reminding pet owners that awareness and education can prevent animal bites. Responsible pet owners anticipate their animal’s reactions and ensure that others are safe. “You can’t always trust that other dog owners are responsible,” says Dr. Julie Kryzanowski, Deputy Medical Health Officer for Saskatoon Health Region. “And even though your pet is usually well-behaved, take care to prevent situations where bites may occur. You have to treat going out for a walk the same way you treat being behind the wheel of a car, you have to be defensive to ensure you’re ready for the unexpected.”

Both Harwood and Tittemore agree the flooding is likely going to get worse before it gets better. “It’s not going to be over anytime soon,” said Tittemore. “There are no quick solutions. We’re just going to keep working away at this as best we can.” He said in addition to hiring a new Director of Public Works, the RM has a full staff working long hours, and all the equipment is being utilized to its fullest extent. “We have a full seasonal contingent of workers back on full-time as of May 1,” he said. “We’re running every staff member we have. We have a lot of contractors working as well, and we’ve rented a lot of pumps that are running flat out to keep the water moving. Many of our people are working 18hour days right now.” Harwood said she is hopeful the Saskatchewan Water Agency (SWA) will be forthcoming with additional help and guidance for the Opimihaw Creek Watershed Association (OCWA), the organization of municipalities looking to design long-term drainage solutions for the North Corman

Park area. “The situation needs immediate work,” she said. “I’m really anxious to get things moving on the drainage project that was initially started by Osler last year.” That drainage project involved moving water from the Osler area eastward along Blumenheim Road until it emptied into coulees that drain into the South Saskatchewan River. That project, according to Harwood, should be top priority, and should be started as soon as the needed engineering studies and design are completed. While she noted the drainage projects are not likely to begin until next year, there are also interim measures that need to be taken this spring and summer. The next meeting of the watershed association is slated for May 28, but she is hopeful a meeting will take place prior to that. The RM has applied to the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) to be designated as an eligible assistance area under the program. The RM also has clean-up kits provided by the Red Cross for those residents who are affected by basement flooding.

Unsung Heroes School safety patrollers represent Martensville at provincial jamboree By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Two Grade 8 students from Valley Manor School in Martensville were among 100 “unsung heroes” taking part in the 23rd annual Provincial School Safety Patrol Jamboree in Regina last weekend. “It’s quite an honour for the girls and we’re very proud to have them represent our school,” said Julie Chiesa, coordinator of the School Safety Patrol program at Valley Manor School. “We have about 40 kids in the safety patrol here, ranging in age from Grade 5 to Grade 8. They really are the unsung heroes who do their best to keep everyone safe. It’s not an easy job and we want to show that we appreciate what they do.” Britanny Grose and Sarah Skutelnik are Grade 8 students who have been school patrol volunteers at Valley Manor since they were in Grade 6. “These girls were chosen to represent Valley Manor because are both long-term, committed patrollers and have earned this privilege,” said Chiesa. Enrollment at the school has mushroomed over the last few years and now sits at 617 students. “That’s a lot of kids crossing the road at the same time when everyone is dismissed at lunchtime and after school,” she said. “It’s a real challenge when you have so many cars and buses all converging in one area at the same time as all the kids are leaving.” “I really like helping protect the kids,” said Grose in an interview at the school. “You have to be firm but gentle with the little ones. They really don’t understand the dangers of run-

They will be accompanied by Jocelyn Skutelnik, Sarah’s mother, as chaperone. The provincial government proclaimed April 29 to May 5 as School Safety Patrol Week and the jamboree was a way of showing the student volunteers how much their efforts are appreciated. There are an estimated 4,500 students province-wide involved in the program. The jamboree featured guest speaker Jennifer Botterill, a Canadian Olympian and former member of the Canadian Women’s National Hockey Team. Botterill was a school safety patroller in her youth and is currently the CAA National School Safety Patrol Ambassador. The jamboree included tours of the provincial legislature in Regina and the Saskatchewan Science Centre. The school safety patrol program has been sponsored by the CAA since

1951 and provides training materials, stop paddles, reflective vests and other supplies free of charge or at cost. There is also a school safety patrol program at Venture Heights School in Martensville, which has a student population of 630 kids. Nicole Lacoursiere, a teacher at Venture Heights, is coordinator of the safety patrol program at the school. “We have about 75 kids in our program,” said Lacoursiere. “They are in Grades 5 and 6. It’s a rotation, so each team goes out on patrol for a week once every six weeks.” The student volunteers are given training and provided with the equipment they need to do their job. Lacoursiere said that parents picking up and dropping off their kids at the school need to remember that the school patrollers are kids, too, and are doing the best they can in sometimes demanding situations. “They’re a real good bunch of students and we really appreciate all they do for the school and the community,” Lacoursiere said. “We’re very proud of them all.”

Drivers escape serious injuries in collision on Highway 11 at Wanuskewin Road By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

One person suffered minor injuries as a result of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11 on Monday, May 1. The collision happened about 4:00 p.m., causing traffic to be diverted around the intersection at the beginning of the daily commuter rush hour. Cst. Craig Zwarych with the Warman RCMP Detachment said while the cause of

the crash is still under investigation, it appeared that one of the vehicles may have pulled out onto the highway before it was safe to do so. Zwarych said that a northbound half-ton truck attempted to cross the divided highway and struck a Mazda 3 sedan that was heading northeast on Highway 11. While the truck had apparently stopped at the stop sign, the driver of the truck apparently pulled into the path of the oncoming Mazda.

There were no serious injuries, but one person, a male, was examined at the scene by MD Ambulance paramedics. The female driver of the Mazda was not injured, despite extensive damage to her vehicle. Warman Fire Department, Warman RCMP, Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services and MD Ambulance emergency personnel responded to the call. The intersection has been the site of numerous collisions over the years.

Fewer fatalities so far this year on highways Fewer people were killed on Saskatchewan highways in the first four months of 2013 than in same time period in previous years. Staff Sgt. Dave Domoney of the RCMP “F” Division Traffic Services said there were 28 fatalities in the first four months of 2013, compared to 44 for the same time period last year. In 2012 there were a record number of fatalities on the province’s highways with 162 being recorded over the year. “The 28 fatalities this year marks the lowest first four

months over the past six years,” said Domoney. “Considering Saskatchewan residents experienced one of the harshest winters on record, where traffic conditions were less than ideal, the downward trend is encouraging.” Domoney said with the onset of spring, warmer temperatures and clearer roads it is important that motorists remain vigilant while traveling on Saskatchewan Highways. The three leading causes of fatalities on Saskatchewan Highways are impaired driv-

ing, distracted driving, and speed; all preventable behaviours. “The reduction in numbers is encouraging but 28 fatalities is still too large of a number and equates to almost two fatalities per week,” said Domoney. “These are preventable deaths and if we all do our part we can bring these numbers down even further. Last year, from May to August, Saskatchewan had 76 deaths over that four month period. These are numbers we don’t want to repeat in 2013.”

martensville gas leak A natural gas line leak at a home created some anxious moments on Wednesday, May 1. The leak was discovered by Martensville residents Connie Hamoline and her son, Travis, who detected the strong odour of gas and immediately called the Martensville Fire Department. The gas line was turned off by SaskEnergy and the leak was repaired. There were no injuries as a result of the incident. Photo submitted by Travis Hamoline

Arson attempt in Warman foiled By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Two youths were caught in the act of starting a fire at the Arthur Neufeld Soccer Field concession booth in Lions Park in Warman on Friday, May 3. The suspects were apprehended by the Warman Bylaw Officer and detained by Warman RCMP officers following the incident, which occurred just before 3:00 p.m. The concesssion booth was boarded up for the winter at the time of the incident, but was slated to be opened up next week by City of Warman Recreation and Community Services staff. The fire began after a bag of fibreglass insulation that was being stored in the building was ignited. The youths that were apprehended at the scene were observed to be on the roof of the buildling, where they were allegedly using lighters to melt a plastic vent. The burning plastic chunks fell down into the building and landed on a bag of insulation, causing the bag and the insulation material to smoulder and burn. Warman Bylaw Officer Wade Eberle said he was able to corral the two suspects after a brief chase. The youths were in the act of burning the vent when they noticed Eberle’s van and fled the scene. While holding the suspects for questioning by the RCMP,

Eberle said he smelled smoke. A few minutes later, he said he noticed black smoke coming from the building. By then Warman RCMP officers had arrived and they used fire extinguishers to put out the fire after forcing their way into the building. Warman Fire Department members also responded to ensure that there were no hot spots that could have possibly reignited. The singed insulation was later removed from the scene. Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal surveyed the damage, noting some electrical wires along the ceiling were burned and will likely have to be replaced. Eberle said he received a call from a City of Warman employee who happened to be passing by the park and noticed the suspicious activity. If that call hadn’t come in, he said, the fire could have been very serious. “It was a wood building and would have gone up (in flames) very quickly,” he said. “It may also have spread to the other nearby sheds at the park.” The RCMP are investigating the incident. Another investigation into a suspicious fire that occurred on Monday, April 29, is also currently underway. The RCMP are examining whether there is any link between the two incidents.

Teen Drama T

he Hanley Composite School Drama Club will competing in the Provincial Drama Competition in Regina this month. The group will be performing the play “Just A Teenage Wasteland”, an original drama by the group’s director, Leanne Griffin. The group moves to provincials from Zone 6 Regionals, which were held in Unity last month. Griffin says that writing an original play was a good way to make sure that every member of the drama club was directly involved with the production. Of the ten students involved, all who are from the Dundurn area and come from grades 7 through 12, seven had acting roles, while the other three participated on the technical side of things. Griffin explains that the play is about “how people think of themselves, and how they strap themselves into different stereo-types, or roles. It asks the question of how do we break out of these roles, and makes the point that, at some time in their lives, everyone is a hero, and everyone is a villain. Everyone feels isolated at some

That doesn’t always happen, and it was really special.” Right now, Griffin and her students are busy preparing for provincial’s, which take place at the University of Regina on May 9th, 10th and 11th. They are also fundraising for the trip, and will be performing an encore presentation of “Just A Teenage Wasteland” at Hanley Composite School on Tuesday, May 7th. Tickets are $5 at the door, with all proceeds going towards the Regina trip.

The provincial government’s investment in the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) helicopter ambulance service continues to benefit patients requiring emergency services, especially those in rural Saskatchewan. The province has invested $10.5 million in 2013-14 in STARS, which marks its oneyear anniversary of Saskatchewan operations this week. “We are committed to providing timely access to emergency medical services for all residents of Saskatchewan,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Recently, I personally witnessed a crew at the Regina base swing into immediate action to get airborne and respond to an urgent call. I was very impressed by their professionalism and the speed in which they responded to this emergency.” STARS operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week from bases in Saskatoon and Regina. Since beginning operations in April 2012, STARS has flown or rendered care to more than 250 patients in Saskatchewan. One of those people was “Very Important Patient” (VIP) Carrie Derin. She needed to be airlifted from Moose Mountain Provincial Park when she was pierced by a fallen tree and critically injured during a family quad all-terrain vehicle outing last August. “We’re so lucky to have STARS here in Saskatchewan,” Derin said. “When you see that helicopter in the sky, know that it’s holding angels and carrying the best gift of all … life!” “It’s been an honour to become such an integral part of the province’s chain of survival over the past year,” STARS Vice-president of Saskatchewan Operations Ron Dufresne said. “Every day we try to make difference in the lives of the critically ill and injured patients we carry. We are grateful for the strong support shown by government and by individual and corporate donors that make this possible.”

Great Plains College grads looking forward to the working world By TERRY PUGH

Adult Basic education (From left to right) Eva Regehr (EA), Edna Teichroeb, Chester Dubni (Instructor), Chantel Anderson, Jeannie Berg. Not pictured: Timothy Loeppky, Evan Zentner.

A total of 31 students from four academic programs were granted certificates during the 26th annual graduation ceremony for Great Plains College (GPC) Warman Campus on Friday, April 26. The graduates included 15 from the Youth Care Worker program, seven from the Educational Assistant program, seven from the Office Administration program and five from the Adult Basic Education program. Great Plains College President Dr. David Keast said regional colleges play a key role in preparing students for employment throughout the province. In an address to graduates at the ceremony held in the GPC building in Warman, Keast said with so many opportunities in the labour market in Saskatchewan, a college course represents “a good choice” for students. “The college is occupation-driven,” he said. “There

is a direct link between theory and practice in the programs offered at Great Plains and other regional colleges. “Great Plains College does a general survey of graduates one year after they earned their certificates,” said Keast. “We have a 90 per cent employment rate for our graduates, which is a very high rate. Universities, by comparison, have an employment rate of between 60 to 70 per cent of their graduates.” Keast said the vast majority of GPC graduates stay in Saskatchewan to work in their chosen field. He congratulated the graduates, saying many of them had sacrificed a lot to pursue academic studies and earning their certificate is a great achievement. Keast noted post-secondary education not only prepares students for employment, but also provides many “intangible” benefits including a greater breadth of knowledge, a creative skills set and enhanced confidence.

Don’t like looking at that well or septic tank beside your deck or patio or in the middle of your yard – cover it with a

durable, realistic and attractive rock enclosure. These particular rocks are a lot of things:

◊ They look good. - Models are designed from actual rocks with the texture and color built right in. ◊ They are durable - can handle extremes of hot and cold weather, freeze-thaw cycles, UV rays and mowers and trimmers. Well cover before landscaping

◊ They are extremely lightweight - When your system needs attention,

the rocks can be removed by hand without any large or expensive equipment and replaced at completion.

Well cover under large rock

◊ A fastening system anchors the rock to the ground at four points preventing in from becoming airborne in our windy environment.

Landscaping is the art of modifying visible features to make them look appealing and inviting - combining balance, texture, color and height. The 15 Dekorra models available lend themselves perfectly to enhancing your outdoor living space, whether it be a newly designed area, a mature site needing that little something extra or hiding something in your yard that you’d rather not look at.

Area football players in Senior Bowl CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

“This year’s Senior Bowl is definitely going to be my last kick at the can as far as really competitive football,” said Misskey. “It’s been a great ride with a great bunch of teammates and coaches.” Segovia is unsure about playing for the Huskies, but says if he gets an invitation, he’ll take it up. Otherwise, he’s going to be hitting the books full-time. Ulrich is also going to be concentrating on his classes. A serious injury last season that kept him out of the lineup for several weeks has made him think twice about pursuing a big-league dream.

Blades gear up for Memorial Cup with practices in Warman The Saskatoon Blades have been hard at work at the Legends Centre in Warman as they gear up for the Memorial Cup. The Blades practiced at the Legends Centre earlier this week in preparation for the Memorial Cup tournament. The MasterCard Memorial Cup is the Canadian Hockey League championship and will feature the top team from the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, as well as the host team, Saskatoon Blades. The championship will take place May 16-26, 2013. The 10day event will include a community-wide celebration showcasing alumni events, concerts and the CHL Awards. The Saskatoon Blades last hosted the MasterCard Memorial Cup in 1989.

“The Hilltops invited me to their camp,” said Ulrich. “But I’m a little iffy about football since I broke my leg. That wasn’t a great experience.” The Warman players will be joined on the North teams by athletes from several other communities in the area, including Martensville, Hague, Clavet, Aberdeen, and Delisle.

MARTENSVILLE

Morgan Upton, a standout defensive lineman from the Martensville Royals was among those named to represent the North. Coach Lyle Evanisky said Upton is one of those players who makes a major impact on the game. “He’s a hard worker and a talented player,” said Evanisky. “It’s great to have Morgan representing our school and our program.”

DELISLE

The perennial powerhouse Delisle Rebels are contributing six players to the North’s cause. They include defensive end Cole Ward, linebackers Taylor Barber and Jarrod Dierdal, defensive back Dixon Smith, receiver Tanner Olson and tight end Colton MacKenzie. “Those boys worked very hard during the season and also at the evaluation camp this spring,” said Rebels head coach Ken Byers. “I’m glad they have

15 the opportunity to be part of the Senior Bowl. Once November hits, that’s usually it for football season so it’s really nice to have this last big game in the spring. It gives the boys one more opporutnity to strap on the pads and helmet and get out on the field.”

CLAVET

Two Clavet Cougars – Josh Dahl and Drew Fitzgerald – were named to the North team, as was Clavet assistant coach Brendan O’Reilly. Head coach Shaun Priel said both Grade 12 players are looking to play at the next level by trying out for the Saskatoon Hilltops. Fitzgerald is also weighing his options about playing for a Division 3 college in Minnesota.

ABERDEEN

Tevon Hunter from the Aberdeen Crusaders was named to the North’s team as a defensive lineman. A captain with the Aberdeen Composite School football team last year, Hunter was also the sole Grade 12 player on the squad. Justin Olnhoff, head coach of the Crusaders, said Hunter’s atttitude, work ethic and determination were big factors in his favour. “Tevon isn’t the biggest or the fastest lineman, but his never-say-die attitude is everything,” said Olnhoff. “He’s worked very hard and he’s

been attending Hilltops camps, so that also makes a big difference.”

HAGUE

The Hague Panthers 6-man football team is sending Adam Wagner as their representative to the Senior Bowl. At 6’4”, Wagner was designated by the North’s coaches to play as a lineman on the 9-man team. “It’s actually a better fit for Adam than 6-man football,” commented Clay Kirby, principal of Hague High School and coach of the Panthers. “He’s a big kid and the 9-man game suits him better.” Kirby said Wagner is excited about playing at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, the hallowed ground where the Roughriders do battle. “Adam’s really pumped,” said Kirby. “He’s never been to a Rider game or been inside Mosaic Stadium. So his first glimpse of the field will be as a player. That’s pretty special.”

IMPAIRED DRIVERS NABBED

On April 30 at 2:00 a.m. police observed a 1997 GMC pickup truck operating on a grid road south of Warman in an erratic manner. The vehicle was stopped and the driver interviewed. Police observed the driver had been drinking and was displaying signs of impairment from alcohol consumption.

The man displayed signs of impairment from alcohol consumption. Police arrested the man and took him to the police detachment where he provided samples of his breath that were in excess of the legal limit. A 35-year-old Martensville man was later released on charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol above the legal limit.

Serving pancakes was Christine Sperling who prepared all the displays, which detailed the work and priorities of the department over the past year including the LUSAR display. “I did a lot right from scratch this year. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot doing it,” she said. Nikki Hyland has achieved the rank of Lieutenant with the department, a position she’s held for the past three years. “To be a lieutenant means that you have more responsibility

and you need to be a better leader and example for your fellow firefighters and first responders,” says Highland. Volunteer firefighters can approach lieutenants with their questions and concerns and receive additional coaching and training. Elder says a website is on the “bucket list” of the department. They have a small part of the Dalmeny.ca website, but they need more visibility to be able to facilitate their commitment to increasing public awareness and education. The Dalmeny Fire Department serves a critical role in our community and those who came to the breakfast demonstrate the extensive gratitude we all feel for the many ways they rescue, protect and serve.

Ford trucks targeted by thieves lice continue to investigate. On April 29 at 7:17 p.m. RCMP responded to a fire on 6th Avenue North in Warman. The kitchen of a residence was reported on fire. It was determined that no one was in the residence upon police arrival, but employees of a nearby business were evacuated for safety. There was extensive damage to the structure. Investigation has resulted in the arrest of a 13-year-old Warman male. This youth is also charged with numerous counts of breaching an undertaking, arson, break and enter and mischief. The youth was arrested on Friday, May 3, in relation to one of the incidents. The youth was held in custody until a bail hearing could be held. Because of his age, the youth cannot be identified. On May 3, at 9:50 a.m., RCMP

received a call from a highway construction company that advised they had two large water pumps stolen from a location on Dalmeny Road where they were pumping water. The pumps were described to police as a 600 and a 900 with 150 feet of two and three inch hose. Police are investigating. On May 3 at 12:40 p.m., RCMP received a complaint from a resident on MacCormack Road in Martensville that their vehicle, which was parked in front of the residence, had been scratched sometime overnight. There was a large scratch found in the paint along the driver’s side. Police are investigating. On May 4 at 7:45 a.m. RCMP received a report from a resident on 2nd St. S. in Martensville that his 2006 Ford F-350 truck had been stolen from in

Another Ford F-350 was the target of an attempted theft on 2nd Ave. N. in Martensville. This vehicle had the door lock drilled. Thieves were unable to get away with the vehicle. A third F-350 had the ignition punched out of it another attempted theft on 6th St. N. in Martensville.

Horoscopes CAPRICORN

Budget cuts do not have to be painful, Capricorn. Get your thinking cap on and look for some creative compromises. A friend’s suggestion is not as crazy as it seems.

AQUARIUS

Relax, Aquarius. You are not to blame for the poor results. What you did was up to par, and everyone knows it. Romantic gestures set the stage for a great weekend.

PISCES

People hang on your every word this week. Use it to your advantage, Pisces. A friend makes the find of a lifetime. Celebrate with a night on the town.

ARIES

Not a chance, Aries. Sure, there have been many twists and turns, but now is not the time to give up. The end is within sight. A deadline is extended.

TAURUS

Momentous markdowns! Money to burn! Why shouldn’t you go shopping, Taurus? Because you have someone more important to focus on.

GEMINI

Grovel, Gemini. No, it’s not fun, but if you want to add to your collection, it’s what you are going to have to do. A financial mistake is rectified in your favor.

CANCER

Take the leap, Cancer. There is absolutely nothing standing in your way. A change in policy at work calls for a new outlook and a new wardrobe.

LEO

Watch it, Leo. Veer off course in any way, and recovery could be long and difficult. A phone message clues you in to the root of a young one’s problems.

VIRGO

Uh-uh-uh, Virgo. There’s no time for deliberation. Wing it, and what happens next will surprise you. The tension lifts at home with a few words of wisdom.

LIBRA

Come on, Libra. You know what needs to be done. Stop dawdling and get a move on. Crass comments at the office lead to debate. Steer clear of the chaos.

SCORPIO

Hmm, Scorpio. If the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Coworkers make light of a new set of rules. Don’t follow suit. An email piques your curiosity.

SAGITTARIUS

What goes around comes around. Remember that, Sagittarius, at an upcoming event. A young one’s expectations are low, too low in fact. Do your best to change that.

Corman Park ratepayers get assessment notices By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Ratepayers in the RM of Corman Park will be getting their assessment notices in the mail this week. But the big question: whether their taxes will be going up, and by how much, can’t be answered until the RM council completes its budget deliberations and sets its mill rate - likely by the end of May or early June. At the Corman Park council meeting on Monday, May 6, councilors were told the RM administration has completed the 2013 Assessment Roll and has mailed notices to all ratepayers.

Along with the assessment notices, ratepayers also received an assessment appeal form and guide, as well as an information sheet from the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA), and the RM’s spring newsletter. The assessment appeal period has been extended from 30 to 60 days to allow for the expected volume of inquiries likely to result from the change in assessment values. Because this is a revaluation year, the total assessment for the RM has risen substantially. The RM is suggesting that ratepayers who have concerns regarding their assesment can contact SAMA directly in

Borden student earns third place in provincial 4-H public speaking competition Teaira Tracksell of Borden was one of the winners of a province-wide public speaking competition sponsored by the Sakatchewan 4-H program. Teaira, a member of the Borden Light Horse 4-H Club, earned a third-place finish in the Cloverbud category - which includes youth between the ages of 6 and 8. Her topic was “Honey Bees.” She competed in Kerrobert on Saturday, April 13. The winner of the competition in that category was Kenny Reischke of Glen Ewen, while second place went to Georgia Pawlitza of Abbey. Competitors came from all across the province, having earned their place at the Provincial Competition by progressively winning at their local club, district and regional Public Speaking Competitions. Public Speaking has been a long-standing core component of the 4-H program in Saskatchewan, requiring each 4-H member in the province to prepare and present their own self-authored speech at their club level in order to earn credit for their 4-H year. Public speaking is known to help 4-H youth build confidence, learn more about their chosen topic, and improve their ability to communicate their ideas to others in a supportive, competitive environment. Teaira’s mother, Tami Tracksell, said her daughter has a love of animals, and is fascinated by honey bees. “She picked her topic and did her research,” said Tami. “There was a swarm of honey bees that landed in our chop bin, and she was watching them for days. She was the one that noticed the honeycomb, and when I pulled it out and the kids tried the honey, they were thrilled.” Tami said her daughter took care of the bees that “crash landed” in the snow outside the barn and always returned them to the hive. She noted the public speaking competition has helped bolster her daughter’s confidence and sparked even more interest in learning about animals. The speeches were betwen

Ratepayers can also make an appointment to talk to a SAMA appraiser at an open house at the RM of Corman Park office on Wednesday, May 22 or Tuesday, June 4. The appraisers will be available to meet with ratepayers from 1 p.m. till 7 p.m. on both days, but an appointment is necessary.

SALARIES QUESTIONED

Councilor Gord Gunoff initiated a discussion at the council meeting on administrative staff salaries, suggesting increases were above what was budgeted last year. He distributed a spreadsheet at the meeting containing his own calculations. Councilor David Fox said he needed time to go over the information and suggested it be discussed at an upcoming finance committee meeting slated for Monday, May 13. Reeve Judy Harwood said information regarding salaries and organizational changes to staffing structures will be raised at that meeting and brought back to the council table. “We need to get the full story,” she said, not-

ing the council approved organizational changes as well as a budget package for staff salaries.

STORM DAMAGE

The “Educational Assistants valued at Prairie Spirit” recruitment advertisement that ran in the Great Plains College Post on April 4 was not a Prairie Spirit School Division advertisement. The advertisement incorrectly reported that the average annual salary for an educational assistant in Saskatchewan is $41,662 according to the provincial government’s 2011 Saskatchewan Wage Survey. The actual range in Prairie Spirit School Division is currently $14.67$19.36 per hour.

The RM council agreed to spring for the cost of the deductible for two trucks damaged during a massive snowstorm last March.

The grader this unintentional error and apologizes for any operators were among the few who were able to help keep the misrepresentation of Educational Assistants in roads open during the threethe K-12 system.

Bethany College convocation celebrates academic achievements Submitted by

SANDY DERKSEN Bethany College

Bethany College’s Spring Concert and Commencement weekend has always been a memorable time for students and their families, and for alumni and friends to gather, celebrate, congratulate, and say good-bye. This year’s celebration on April 20th to 21st, affirmed the outstanding student body which graced the halls of Bethany this year. The event highlighted young men and women who have grown as disciples of Jesus and have exemplified 2 Timothy 2:15: “Do your best to present yourself to Brittany Suderman God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.” The celebrations began on Saturday with the annual Spring Concert at Knox United Church in beautiful downtown Saskatoon. Susan J. Schmidt Goerz directed a presentation of musical ensembles and drama, “When Cherie I Walk through Bright Those Doors,” which focused on walking with Jesus in the power of God. Conductor Brent Kruger and the Teen Challenge Choir were special guests who, along with students, alumni, and community members, presented an uplifting message of hope. Following the concert, Dynel students and Weber guests along with Bethany faculty and staff gathered for an impressive banquet at the Sheraton Hotel. The students presented a program which was filled with tributes and shared memories of the year and the transformation they experienced in their lives. On Sunday, the Commencement Kaylee Service drew Buhler family and friends to the Bethany campus in Hepburn to recognize the accomplishments of the students. Bethany College conferred 13 Bachelor of Arts degrees, 13 Bachelor of Christian Studies degrees, 21 Diplomas of Biblical Studies, and 3 TESOL Certificates. Four Academic Awards were presented: • Cherie Bright – First Year Academic Award for Excellence in an Exegetical or Research Paper for her essay, “Joy Through Surrender, Isaiah 55:6-1” • Dynel Weber – Second Year Academic Award for Excellence in a Creative Project, “Noah and the Flood” • Stephanie Chase – Second Year Academic Award for Excellence in an Exegetical or Research Paper for her essay, “Becoming One in a World of Two: God’s Intention for Male and Female Relationships as portrayed in Genesis 2:18-24” • Brittany Suderman – Fourth Year Academic Award for Excellence in an Exegetical or Research Paper for her essay, “The Power of Images, Pride and Greed: The Biblical Theology of Idolatry” Additionally, two other awards were given recognizing excellence in academics and leadership: • Stephanie Chase – the Governor General’s Bronze Medal,

awarded to the Diploma graduate with the highest cumulative Grade Point Average • Kaylee Buhler – the Delta Epsilon Chi Award of the Association of Biblical Higher Education for academic excellence, Christian character, and leadership contribution In addition, several facul- Stephanie Chase ty and staff receives Governor General’s Bronze received Medal from recognition for long- Bethany President Howie Wall term service: Rick Schellenberg, 25 years; Lisa Braun, 15 years; Jean Campbell, 10 years; and Candace Hamm, 5 years. Michelle Dyck, a Second Year student from Calgary, Alberta, shared how God taught her

to use her gift of hospitality as she spent time in “community” and in building relationships with others. Student Council President and Third Year student, Tim Peters, from Winkler, Manitoba, challenged students to continue to nurture their relationship with Jesus and be rooted in Him instead of putting their confidence in their accomplishments and qualifications. The heart of Bethany College is to nurture disciples and train leaders to serve and was evident in the details of the commencement celebration itself. Ashley Marie Wiebe, an alumna stated, “Bethany College has encouraged my soul yet again. I don’t know how it can be so meaningful and encouraging to watch other people, most of whom I don’t know, celebrate another year at Bethany other than to say that God moves in that community and

no one is immune to how powerful it is when a generation of people decide to be open and obedient to God’s calling on their life.”

President, Delisle Minor Ball

Delisle Minor Ball is slowly getting under way. Delisle has recently formed a Minor Ball board. It has been in the past operated through the Delisle Rec Board but gratefully because of Delisle’s healthy ball program it was a positive move. The board includes Joel Durham (President), Miranda Peakman (Vice-President), Shelley Worth (Secretary), Shari Ridgewell (Treasurer), Dean Strasser, Dean Yuzik and

Randy Morgan (Members at large). During March and April pitching clinics were hosted at the Delisle Composite School. Bryan Newton ran an excellent program for our young pitchers. Some teams have started practicing indoors because of the weather. This spring we are experiencing a bit of a delay. Keep your fingers crossed that they can get outside soon. Currently Delisle Minor Ball sits with 2 Co-Ed Learn to Play, 2 Co-Ed Parent Pitch, and a Male and a Female Mites team that all will play out of the Ea-

gle Creek League. The teams that have entered the Saskatoon Minor Softball League are; Squirt “B” Girls, Squirt “A” Boys, Pee Wee “B” Girls, Pee Wee “A” Boys, and Bantam “A” Girls. We’re grateful to all our coaches and managers. If anyone is interested or knows of anyone that would be interested in officiating, our ball programs are in desperate need of umpires. Please contact any of our board members. Above all, come out and watch some great softball games while supporting our youth.
