The Osler Fire Department’s fundraising efforts got a shot in the arm from the RM of Corman Park. The RM council approved a resolution to contribute $50,000 from its municipal reserve fund toward the cost of the new Osler Fire Hall. The resolution was adopted unanimously at the council’s regular meeting on Monday, August 19. The first phase of the new fire hall is currently under construction, and the exterior is expected to be completed by December. The first phase of the project is expected to cost $800,000, and the total cost for the completed project is likely to be more than $1 million. The building will be completed as funds allow. The sod-turning ceremony for the new building, located along the Highway 11 frontage road in Osler, was held last week. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said it makes sense for the RM to contribute to the building because a majority of the fire and medical emergency calls that the Osler Fire Department responds to are in the rural area outside town. “They do provide a service to our ratepayers,” she said. “I was actually quite surprised at the high percentage of calls that come from Corman Park.” The RM of Corman Park has an ongoing agreement with the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA) for fire protection and first responders in the northwest part of the municipality. The NCPFCA facilitates a mutual aid agreement for the fire departments in Warman, Osler, Martensville, Dalmeny and Langham. Currently, the operating agreement between the NCPFCA and Corman Park is under negotiation. Corman Park pays a fee for
service for emergency calls of $876 per hour of response time. In the past, the RM of Corman Park has contributed funds for fire trucks to several departments in the NCPFCA.
STARS CONTRIBUTION
The RM of Corman Park Council also earmarked $5,000 toward the Saskatchewan STARS air ambulance service. The decision to make the donation to the rapid response emergency medical service was made at the August 19 meeting. Corman Park Division 8 councilor Wendy Trask said the air ambulance service is invaluable.

assessments, municipal planning and development issues, noxious weed orders, and to adjudicate in matters relating to road maintenance and fixed farmland assessment agreements. The second reason for their existence is to provide a cost effective method of litigation to unburden the court system. The hearing on September 24 could potentially set a precedent for rural municipal governments, according to Reeve Harwood, because it could have implications for how RM and town councils decide whether to grant development permits under discretionary
use applications. Currently, there is no appeal allowed if a discretionary use development is turned down by a council. “Why would there be an appeal hearing for a non-appealable issue?” wondered Corman Park Division 2 councilor Sherry Mervold. “That’s very odd.” Division 7 councilor Joanne Janzen suggested if the appeal is allowed by the SMB, it opens it up for other applicants to appeal their cases as well. It also undermines a local council’s ability to deny a “discretionary use” development request.

EAGLE’S NEST HEARING
The Eagle’s Nest Youth Ranch proponents are looking to appeal the RM of Corman Park council’s denial of a discretionary use application that would have seen a community care facility near Dalmeny. The development permit application was turned down by the RM council on January 28, 2013. The Eagle’s Nest Ranch proponents then requested the RM Council provide its reasons for the denial of the application. The reasons were provided on July 18. A hearing on the issue is slated for September 24 before the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB). The SMB was set up for regulatory and judicial purposes in dealing with issues from local authorities such as school divisions and municipal governments. The board’s regulatory function is to review the debt obligations of some local authorities and oversee the financial health of municipalities. The judicial function is to hear and determine, at the provincial level, appeals from the public in municipal matters relating to property tax

Aberdeen firefighters get on solid footing Donation from Richardson Foundation used for new boots By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
They may not be the most glamorous part of a firefighters’ clothing, but you can’t beat good boots when it comes to fighting fires and withstanding intense heat and cold weather.

“Definitely, we need new boots,” confirmed Aberdeen Deputy Fire Chief Adrian Hamoline. “The old ones are pretty much worn out. I’ll tell you, when you’re standing outside on the highway at a motor vehicle collision in the dead of winter for hours on end, or trying to fight a fire, you need good boots.” So Hamoline said he had no problem earmarking a $3,500 donation from the Richardson Foundation for steel-toed, fireresistant safety boots for the 18-member fire department. But at about $350 per pair, the fire department will still have
to cover the shortfall. The donation was approved by the Richardson Foundation, an independent philanthropy created in 1957 by James RIchardson and Sons Ltd., which owns Richardson Pioneer. Darrell Burg, manager of the Richardson Pioneer facility in Wakaw, said the funds are aimed at helping communities and charitable organizations. The volunteer fire department in Aberdeen was approved for funding after an application was made by Joel Hamoline, a member of the Aberdeen Fire Department and an employee at the Richardson Pioneer terminal in Wakaw. “The foundation is completely separate from the company,” explained Burg. “But people can make an application and we can submit it on their behalf to the foundation. Anybody can apply for a donation if they represent a charitable cause that fits the funding criteria.” Joel Hamoline said he found out about the program about a year ago, and decided the fire department would likely qualify for approval. “I put the paperwork together and told the guys about it, and said ‘I’m going to do this. What do you think the money should be used for?’,” said Joel Hamoline. “Volunteer fire-
fghters give countless hours of volunteer work to the community, so it’s nice to have that recognized.”
A $3,500 donation from the Richardson Foundation was unveiled by (left to right) Joel Hamoline (Aberdeen firefighter and employee of RIchardson Pioneer), Darrell Burg (Manager of Richard Pioneer Wakaw facility), Matthew Martens (in Sparky costume), Adrian Hamoline (Aberdeen Deputy Fire Chief) and Paul Martens (Aberdeen firefighter)
BIG SERVICE AREA
The Aberdeen Fire Department is funded on a 50-50-basis by the Town of Aberdeen and the RM of Aberdeen. Adrian Hamoline said in addition to the department’s 18 firefighters, there are also nine first responders. Approximately half the members are from the rural area. The firefighters accompany the first responders on every medical call as backup. So far this year, he noted, incidents of fires have been rare, but motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are quite common. “Particularly on Highway 41,” said Hamoline. “Our division runs from Bettker Road all the way to Alvena. From the north end to the south end is a 20-mile stretch of road and we also go eight miles east and another eight miles west. So it’s a big area.” The fire department relies on MD Ambulance in Saskatoon for its dispatch service. The increase in country residential housing developments in the area has also increased demands on the fire department’s resources.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
“I’d say there has been an additional 600 houses go up over the last four or five years,” Hamoline said. And while there is a rural water pipeline in the area, the fire department can’t hook into it because of a lack of fire hydrants in the countryside. “We have to fill up at the pumping station,” he said. “One of the things we really need is a 3,500 gallon water truck.” Another vehicle needed for the fleet is a four-wheel drive
“brush truck” or “attack truck” for off-road duty. “There are 700 miles of roads in addition to Highway 41,” noted Hamoline. “There’s a lot of traffic on those roads, and the Clarkboro Ferry grid is one of the busiest gravel roads in the province.” He said with the prevalence of flooding in the RM and the closure of many roads this year, the fire department takes longer to respond to calls because they have to make de-
tours. Hamoline said the fire department has a wish list, but noted they’re also realistic about budget considerations. “We got a brand new pumper truck in 2010,” he said. “It has really made a big difference. But the area is growing, and we need more resources. If you add up the brush truck and the water truck, that probably amounts to about $300,000 or $400,000 that we’ll need in the next few years.”

Dalmeny residents show their Rider Pride in hopes of raising funds for its new spray park
Dalmeny has been selected as one of the finalists for the $50,000 award offered by the Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Community Celebration. The announcement was made at the Saskatchewan Roughrider game on August 17 where the competition was narrowed down to the top eight of the 29 proposals submitted. The proposal was made by the Dalmeny Spray and Play Intergenerational Park Project committee as part of their fundraising initiatives for a new playground and spray park for the community of Dalmeny and surrounding areas. The Richardson Pioneer Rider Nation Community Celebration contest’s goal is to determine which community has the most passion for health and wellness initiatives as well as spir-
it for the 101st Grey Cup Festival. The competition will now go to a voting process. The community with the largest amount of public online votes will receive the 1st place prize of $50,000 with the 2nd and 3rd place communities both receiving $25,000. The top 3 winners, in addition to the cash prize, also get to host a free celebration for their community with entertainment, food and prizes - all while watching a live Roughriders game! The Dalmeny Spray and Play Committee have put out a plea to the general public to vote online at www.101greycupfestival.ca/vote to help them win the first place prize. People from anywhere and everywhere can vote! It’s a very simple process and voters can vote every 12 hours from multiple devices. The prize money would greatly benefit the committee’s fundraising goals, making possible the completion of the first phase of their project by spring of 2014.

old-fashioned fun Vanscoy Ag Society celebrates 30th anniversary in style By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Vanscoy parade attracted many entries, and the kids’ activities were a big hit with youngsters
There seems to be a resurgence in interest in home-baking, canning and other old-fashioned arts. At least, that’s the case in Vanscoy. The 30th annual edition of the Vanscoy and District Agricultural Society fair last weekend saw a big increase in the number of entries in all categories, according to Linda Wright, chair of the society. “It’s actually really nice to see,” said Wright in an interview on Saturday, August 17. “In the past we’ve had between 40 and 50 members entering exhibits. This year we’ve had over 80 people signed up. We’re really hoping it marks a resurgence.” Wright said there were some years when interest in the fair, and its related activities, was at an ebb. This year marked a bright spot, as the parade attracted a lot of floats and entries, and there were large crowds at the fairgrounds. “It’s been awesome,” said Wright. “The weather has been beautiful, the crowd has been great, and we’ve had lots of exhibitors. The ball tournament had a full slate of teams and the parade went off without a hitch with lots of participation.” The agricultural society is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, said Wright, noting a pictorial display was set up in one of the two exhibition halls. “There’s a lot of memories on display,” she said. The fair included a “Little Britches” rodeo, ball tournament and other events.

If Canadians vote to abolish No need to start pushing the potash panic button yet jobs are being created, it does Living in the topsy-turvy the Belarusian Potash Co. – a $400 a ton. Senate, politicians must listen world of commodity prices cartel similar to our own Can- One analyst from BMO Cap- show that Saskatchewan is Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation
COMMENTARY
We’ve nearly been trampled in recent days by a veritable herd of Canadian academics, falling over one another to remind us that the Canadian Senate cannot be abolished. After all, they tell us, the Senate’s existence is guaranteed by the Constitution, only Parliament and the provincial legislatures can amend the Constitution and Parliament includes 102 senators who would never vote themselves out of a job. To make matters worse, five of the ten provinces are so vastly over-represented in the Senate, they would never, in a million years, agree to get rid of it. This learned analysis, while technically correct, fails to adequately weigh one singular truth: Canada is a democracy. If Canadians vote in a national referendum to abolish the Senate, the academics will be proven wrong. We now live in the 21st century, as opposed to the U.S. civil-war era, when the Senate was created. It was the U.S. civil war, to that point, that heavily influenced the Fathers of Confederation, most notably Sir. John A. Macdonald. “(Macdonald) shared a widely held belief that the Civil War was, in some sense, the inevitable bloody outcome of mob rule and presidential despotism,” wrote his biographer Donald Creighton. “Macdonald’s resistance to democracy was comprehensive,” echoes Richard Gwyn in his more recent study of Canada’s constitutional architect. “He advocated ‘some division of the classes,’ justifying limiting the vote to property owners by the argument that political decisions should be influenced by the views of those with some education and some stake in the system itself rather than by ‘the unreasoning masses.’” Macdonald made it clear on more than one occasion that his distaste for American-style democracy knew no bounds. He insisted that a prospective senator must own real estate to qualify for membership – a qualification that exists, inexplicably, to this day. And Macdonald insisted on substantial real estate holdings – $4,000 – the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of today’s dollars: “a large qualification should be necessary for membership in the Upper House, in order to represent the principle of property,” he said in 1865. “The rights of the minority must be protected, and the rich are always fewer in number than the poor.” Historian John Boyko’s new book, Blood and Daring, gives a flavour of Canada in the 1860’s, when the Senate was created. Boyko reminds us that while 33 Canadian newspapers supported Lincoln and the Union in the conflict, 84 sided with the slave-owning Confederacy. After one Confederate victory in 1862, townsfolk in New Brunswick celebrated by holding parades. It’s instructive that the architect of the recent abomination, Conservative Senator Hugh Segal, supports a national referendum on abolishing the Senate. So did Jack Layton, who called the Senate “outdated and obsolete, a 19th-century institution that has no place in a modern democracy in the 21st century.” The Senate is a disgrace to Canada. The Senate doesn’t make our nation better, it makes it worse. And unelected assembly of landowners has no legitimate right to rule over the rest of us, no matter what the Constitution says. The Senate is a constitutional institution, to be sure. But then, so was slavery in the U.S. and the slave trade, in Britain, in the 19th century. If Canadians, in a national referendum, direct our politicians to get rid of the Senate, then politicians would be well advised to listen to the voters.

where markets for grains, oilseeds, pulse crops, oil and potash are always uncertain, rural people know better than to panic over a bit of bad news.
MURRAY MANDRYK
Provincial Politics
Others now in full-scale panic over the admittedly bad news in the potash sector might be well advised to follow suit. The relative on-going strength and success of the overall Saskatchewan economy and government finances may mean that we will weather the bad potash news better than we think. For those of you who missed it – or perhaps missed the significance of it at the time – a move by a potash producer half a world away will supposedly hammer us hard here in Saskatchewan. It was announced late last month that the Russian potash producer Uralkali would stop selling its potash through
ital Markets went so far as to call it “the end of the potash world as we know it” while the Royal Bank of Canada said the Saskatchewan economy would now be growing half as quickly as predicted. In turn, the Royal Bank predicted this may reduce Saskatchewan’s GDP growth by a full percentage point, with further impacts down the road because of stalled potash mine construction. Premier Brad Wall and his Sask. Party government responded by saying it was too early to tell – exactly what one might expect from a government because it is its job to downplay negative news and present an optimistic view for voters and potential investors in the province. But, if initial indicators mean anything, Wall and his government appear to be right. The latest job statistics for July show 590,000 working people – an increase of 16,100 from a year earlier. Of course, this means little in relation to the Uralkali decision that just happened. But considering where the
more than just potash. Of more interest, however, is the news emerging from the Saskatchewan government that the surplus budget is still largely intact. Despite a projected decline in forecasted potash revenues of $21.3 million, overall revenues for the 2013-14 budget are actually increasing by $11.3 million because of stronger oil prices. Alas, our surplus is now expected to be smaller because of $43.6 million in extra spending – mainly for flooding assistance that the government didn’t adequately budget. And things could potentially be worse on the potash front because the government predicted in its March budget a $122.5-million increase in potash revenue over the 201213 budget. It still may be overestimating its potash revenue. But what it does seem to show is the Saskatchewan economy is diversified and somewhat resilient. In the unpredictable world of commodity pricing, it may be a little early to panic over potash.
Reader Opinions
Government gloating one year after killing Wheat Board With the first year anniversary of so called marketing freedom under their belt, Gerry Ritz and the rest of the grain trade are all smiles or should one say they are gloating over their good fortune. For sure, the major grain companies have the producers of grain right where they want them. But, perhaps Ritz will answer a few questions on how things are shaping up for farmers and their new marketing freedom. (1) Is it true, Mr. Ritz when the farmer has unloaded his grain at the elevator (terminal) his ownership of that grain has

potex that markets its product collectively to keep the prices higher. Of course, we’re all taught that such free-market competition is a good thing and it is … if you are a buyer rather than a seller. As a potash producing economy, anything potentially lowering the price can hit us hard. Consider the 2009 provincial budget when a predicted $2 billion in potash revenue for the province disappeared because Saskatchewan Party government officials bought into the potash industry’s overly rosy forecasts for sales and prices. And, as the biggest producer of potash with 20 per cent of the world’s supply (exceeding PotashCorp’s contribution), anything Uralkali does is a big deal in the industry. By deciding to go it alone, it is expected that Uralkali will undercut potash prices. This could have a big impact on Saskatchewan government revenue. Analysts suggest that potash prices could fall by 25 per cent to around $300 a ton compared with current prices of

Are those blending profits still part of the farmers income under marketing freedom?

(4) Interest earnings – Terminal rebates – penalties – tendering and despatch brought to the farmers over 100 million dollars annually. Tell me Mr. Ritz what is the farmers’ yearly benefit from those earnings now that he has marketing freedom? (5) Farmers and Producer cars - what happened? What
level of service has slipped from the farmers hands, in this first year of market freedom? (6) Lest anyone believes I have padded the numbers when the CWB ruled the roost, think again. According to a 2007 study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the CWB generates an estimated economic impact of 1.6 billion dollars per year. What I have done, is seriously understated the economic benefit the farmers have lost with market freedom. Henry Neufeld Waldeck, SK

Martensville slated to be site of province’s first RV Mall development
Prairie Spirit School Division
Over 130 workers and tradespeople are on site at Warman Community Middle School (WCMS) each day leading up to the first day of school this fall. Warman’s new school will welcome students on Tues., September 3. The coordinated effort to get the school ready for students was recognized and acknowledged at a recent meeting of officials from Prairie Spirit School Division, Wright Construction, AODBT Architects and the City of Warman. The core areas of the school – classrooms, library and administrative offices – will be ready for students in September. Other areas of the school, including the Practical and Applied Arts area and the school’s theatre, will be completed after the school is open. Workers will continue to be on site when teachers return to their classrooms at the end of August and will work after school hours once school begins. “We will ensure the building is safe for staff and students,” said Sam Dyck, Prairie Spirit School Division
Oak Centre RV Mall is slated to begin construction in September in the Northlands Business Park in Martensville. The 15-acre development will be anchored by TRX RV and Truck Camper Canada, two businesses which are moving to Martensville from Saskatoon.
Construction of the province’s first recreational vehicle (RV) Mall is set to begin in Martensville next month.

Trustee. In addition to the school building itself, extensive work is being done to the school grounds, including paved pathways, a paved games area and new playground structures. “This is a very exciting project. We know students and parents are looking forward to seeing the school for the first time in September,” said Greg Tebay, WCMS Principal. Tebay said the school is planning a BBQ for parents
and students on Thursday, September 5, with tours of the school available that evening. Planning is also in place for emergency drills and other safety considerations. The $23.1 million school project was announced by the Premier in March, 2010, and is part of a joint-use project with the City of Warman’s Legends Complex in the community’s north end. Trustee Sam Dyck confirmed that the project remains within budget.
The Oak Centre RV Mall will be built on 15 acres of land in the Northlands Business Park. According to Martensville Economic Development Officer Dillon Shewchuk, the RV Mall will house TRX RV and Truck Camper Canada. The RV Mall’s 20,000 square-foot building will be the main anchor for the business park. “The mall will be flanked by leased-based businesses along its entrance with additional businesses located on three-quarter acre and larger lots making up the remainder of the mall,” said Shewchuk in a news release on Wednesday, August 14.
Mall lots are available for purchase by any RV-related business. These may include dealerships that handle RVs, boats, snowmobiles, quads and motorcyles, RV repair shops, or RV cleaning and oil change services. The doors to the new TRX RV, currently located in North Saskatoon, should be open by the end of this year. Northlands Business Park is a 20-acre parcel of land located between Centennial Drive and Highway 12. The land was orginally owned by North Prairie Developments. Oak Centre RV Mall owner Tom Oakes is excited about the projects, and says RV storage wil initially be available at the mall, as well as shortterm RV parking for people in the area for a night to attend a concert, wedding or other event in Saskatoon, or even just overnight parking for RV servicing. “The project is unique,”
said Oakes in a news release. “RV malls are rare. I’m not even sure there’s anything similar being done in Canada, so we’re really excited about starting construction on this project.” Oakes’ commercial sales agent, Eugene Hritzuk of ICR Commercial Real Estate, says commercial businesses base their decisions on things like traffic count, and Martensville can certainly offer that. “This is a very significant stretch of highway,” said Hritzuk. “The traffic count there is the second-highest in the province, with the busiest stretch of highway being the TransCanada between Regina and White City.” Oakes agreed that traffic count was the primary reason he chose Martensville, but he also says it was difficult to find a block of land large Working with Martensville City Hall was refreshing Continued on page 18

Longtime Martensville city employee calls it a career After 25 years Debbie McGuire reflects on why passion is the key ingredient in work and sports By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Debbie McGuire never pictured herself as Foreman of the City of Martensville Public Works Department when she applied for a part-time job 25 years ago. But that’s how it worked out. “I started out on the back of a garbage truck,” recalled McGuire with a smile. “Throwing bags and cans into the old truck. It was a riot.” It was supposed to be a parttime summer job for two days a week. At the time, the mother of four children figured it was about all she could handle while still taking care of her youngsters. “But two weeks after I started, I began driving the truck as well and it was more than two days a week,” she said. “I did that all summer, and then in September, a job came open in the town office for a utility clerk. I applied and got the job.” McGuire worked full-time in the Martensville town office for twelve years - doing everything from bookkeeping to stuffing utility bills in envelopes and recording the town council minutes. “There were only two of us in the office at that time,” she said. “I got to know pretty much everyone in town, and knew how everything operated.” During her first two and a half years, she completed a Local Government Adminis-
Debbie McGuire continues to coach an elite volleyball club known as Outer Limits in Martensville tration (LGA) course by correspondence. “Basically I worked a full day, then took my kids to sports and coached their teams, and then did my homework from 9 p.m. to midnight every night,” she said. “It was a challenge but we got through it.”
LOVES HARD WORK
But even though she enjoyed the job, McGuire was always hankering to get out of the office environment. “I love being outdoors,” she said. “I’m just a very physical person and I love hard, physical work. So when a job opening came up in public works in 1988, I applied and I got the job. I was pretty happy to be back outside doing more hands-on work.” But not everybody was happy about having a woman on the public works staff.
U o T l a e
“Some of my male colleagues weren’t at all pleased,” she said. “And that’s a bit of an understatement. One guy actually quit because he didn’t think females should be in that department.” But once McGuire had proved that she could do the work as well as any of her male co-workers, the acceptance level went up. “It’s still been a bit of a struggle to be accepted as an equal, even up until lately,” she said. “But the basic fact that I could do the job, and do it well, usually won people over.” McGuire did the job so well she eventually worked her way up the ladder to become Foreman for the Public Works and Utilities Department, one step below the Director. Not only was she responsible for assigning work to the crews, she did her share of the work as well. “I was a working foreman,” she said. “I did all the jobs everybody else was doing.”
She said her co-worker, Brian, was also able to make it shore. “It was pure adrenaline that helped me stay afloat,” she said. “I get scared when it comes to water.” After that incident, changes were made to how the work
it up, so I was being dragged down. I panicked and in desperation flipped myself over on my back and just started kicking like hell and eventually made my way to shore. I don’t know how far it was but it seemed like a heck of a long way.”

The job was not only physical, it was also dangerous at times. In 2001, McGuire and a co-worker were working in a small boat on the Martensville sewage lagoon doing routine maintenance work. It was early spring and the water was extremely cold. Suddenly, the boat they were in capsized. “We were wearing hip-waders that had straps over the shoulders,” she said. “We had lifejackets on, but the water kept pouring in over the top of the hip-waders and filling

Outdoor art mural brightens up Langham By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A shipping container in Langham has become a giant canvas for a young artist. Sadie Proctor, whose family owns and operates Cornucopia Honey - Proctor and Sons, is using the super-size metal box to paint a mural depicting the life-cycle of honeybees. Her grandfather started the business of making honey decades ago, and it’s a tradition that the family continues today - marketing their honey through the Borden Farmers Market and other local outlets. The mural depicts the development of an individual bee, and also scenes from the Proctor’s farm where the bee hives are situated. It’s an art project that aims to not only help her develop her skills as an artist in an emerging “aerosol art” medium, but also will help brighten up the town and perhaps even attract more visitors. Sadie Proctor is being mentored in the project by Kris Moffatt, a Langham artist whose murals have been commissioned on numerous occasions in Saskatoon. “It’s a cool project,” said Moffatt in an interview on Wednesday, August 14 as the pair were working on adding colour to the sketches on the side of the container. “I’ve taught Sadie in the
past in her art classes. Her school was doing a study on aerosol art - which basically is using paint spray cans to paint larger picures. She got really interested in it and I’m helping her learn the technique.” Sadie Proctor said while the aerosol cans take some getting used to, the principle is the same as using pencils, ink or paint. “You just have to practice the shading,” she said. “Depending on how hard you press the top, that determines how much comes out and how sharp the line is. You also hold the can further away to get more of a mist effect.”
Moffatt said aerosol art works best on a large surface. He notes that while in the past, some people may have associated the art form with grafitti, it is much more than that. “It’s a legitimate art form,” Moffatt said. “Grafitti is a term that tends to be misused. It usually refers to something that’s illegal, but it doesn’t actually have anything to do with the artistic merits of something.” To avoid those connotations, Moffatt said the term “aerosol art” is generally used for murals. “It’s pretty cool to have an outdoor art project,” said Proctor. “I want it to look good, and I hope people like it.”
Busy fall for Martensville Community Access Centre By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) is gearing up for a busy fall season. Kristee Lynn Adrian, Coordinator of the MCAC, said one of the areas the volunteer-run organization is hoping to strengthen in the coming months is programming aimed at seniors and older adults. “September 30 to October 6 is designated as Seniors Week in Saskatchewan,” said Adrian in an interview on Wednesday, August 14. “We had a soup and pie fundraising supper for the seniors centre last fall, and it was very successful. We’re hoping that we can do that again this year.” The event is coordinated by the Martensville Seniors club, and all funds raised go toward programs and
maintenance at the seniors New Horizons facility. Adrian said the MCAC’s role is in helping find volunteers to help the seniors pull off what amounts to a very large, popular event. “The seniors have all the recipes and they have the knowledge and skills that make it a great event,” she said. “But what they need are younger folks who have the energy to do a lot of the work on the day of the event.” Another event that is geared not only to seniors, but also to families, is a riverboat cruise in Saskatoon on the Prairie Lilly paddlewheeler. “That will be in early October on Seniors Day,” she said. “Seniors 65 and over will be able to ride for free, but there will be a reduced rate for families. It should be a fun event. All ages can go but it’s geared toward seniors and older adults.” With a focus on “Healthy Families,
Healthy Communities,” the MCAC’s regular programming will gradually be back in place during the coming weeks. “Our Homework Club starts up again at the end of September, and in October the Baby Babble program gets going,” she said. “We’ll also have evening workshops for people who need help with their computers and IPhones and IPads and devices like that.” The MCAC’s popular “Are You Smarter Than A Martensville Fifth Grader” is slated for Saturday, November 16. That is one of the major fundraisers for the MCAC, said Adrian. “We are looking for donations and sponsorships year round, because even though we operate on a very small budget, we try to provide as many programs and services as possible, and they still cost money,” she concluded.

This one’s for you, Dad! Family slow-pitch ball team fulfills late father’s dream - finally wins tournament By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The late Arnold Flath loved nothing better than watching ball games at the annual Radisson Agricultural Fair. Especially when his kids’ team was playing. The Flath family, long-time residents of Radisson and area, consistently entered a team in the Radisson slo-pitch tournament every year. They didn’t always do that well, but that didn’t matter to Arnold, who
cheered them on from the sidelines. But he always harboured the hope that someday his favourite long-shot team would win the tournament crown. “His dream was to have his kids win the A side,” said Cathy Flath, whose husband, Bruce, is one of Arnold’s sons. “In 2009, when he was very sick and in palliative care, we all had tshirts made up that said ‘Arnie’s Angels’ on them.” Arnold Flath has since passed on, but during the week-

end of August 10 and 11, he must have been looking down on the tournament because his dream finally came true. Arnie’s Angels took top honours and won the final game. “The first thing everyone on the team did was think about their dad and grandpa,” said Cathy Flath. “They did it for him. He was their inspiration. It was really nice to have such a nice tribute to Arnold on the occasion of Radisson’s 100th anniversary celebration.”

Angels capture Men’s Senior B fastball crown Delisle takes silver medal By TERRY PUGH

The Saskatoon Poly Plus Angels captured the Western Canadian Men’s Senior B fastball crown on Sunday, August 18, downing the Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs 6-3 in the championship final at Bob Van Impe Stadium in Saskatoon. The Angels, a first-year team in the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA), bounced back after a disappointing 7-0 loss in their opening game to the Lloydminster Dodgers on Thursday, August 15. The Angels ran the table after that initial shellacking, winning seven straight games to claim the title. Anchored by ace pitcher Patrick Burns, who was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, the Angels’ winning formula combined solid defense with strong hitting. “It was a long, hot weekend, but it was fun,” said Angels catcher Casey Brooks after the final game. “We had a slow start in the first game.

Roughriders’ victory over Montreal wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win! As long as I live, I’ll never figure out Rider fans. At least, a very large portion of them. The Saskatchewan Roughriders improved to a CFL-best 6-1 on Saturday afternoon with a last-second 2421 victory over the Montreal Alouettes before a soldout crowd of 40,637 at Mosaic Stadium. Kicker Chris Milo hit a game-winning 34-yard field goal with no time left before the third-highest attended regular season game in Roughrider history. All should be good, right? Wrong. Had the Riders lost the game, and to be honest it really looked like they would when the team went down 2114 with less than two minutes remaining, I was planning to head straight home afterwards to avoid the wrath of the Rider Nation on the streets of the
Queen City. However, since the football gods smiled on the Green & White and afforded them the comeback victory, I thought I’d venture out to a local watering hole to join the celebrations. But the smoke had barely cleared from the postgame fireworks when the barrage of negativity started flowing in. “That was the worst football game I’ve ever seen,” one local TV reporter said in the parking lot outside the stadium. I suppose I could give him that. It was an unexpectedly low-scoring contest in which the Riders held a narrow 8-7 lead at the halftime break. The game won’t be shown on ESPN Classics anytime soon, and I’ll admit I tried to watch the game a second time on Sunday evening but it was just too painful. At best, it was a cure for insomnia. Things certainly heat-

ed up in the second half and the game was tied 11-11 going into the fourth quarter. And it was a war in the trenches on a steamy August afternoon with stars from both teams leaving the game with injury. For Montreal it was quarterback Anthony Calvillo and for the Riders it was wide receiver Rob Bagg. At press time, the severity of their injuries wasn’t known. The Riders were 12-point favourites heading into the game but the proud Alouettes and
back-up quarterback Josh Neiswander gave the Green Guys all they could handle in the latest chapter of their simmering rivalry which goes back to two Montreal wins in the 2009 and 2010 Grey Cups. It turned out to be a thriller, in a case of “last possession wins”. The game may have been sloppy but the Riders proved to be the team who made the fewest mistakes and scrapped back to get the victory. Quarterback Darian Durant threw a 65-yard touch-
down strike to Taj Smith to tie the game in the dying moments and then, on the last-minute drive, Durant got his team into position for the game-winning field goal. Afterwards, in the watering hole, fans were shaking their heads over-and-over at returner Jock Sanders’ two fumbles, and another from Durant, which looked at times like they may cost the team the game. Heck, they shouldn’t have won. Saskatchewan lost the turnover battle (4-3) as well as time-of-possession but it’s a 60-minute game and the Riders did just enough to be the better team on that Saturday afternoon. “Against Calgary or BC, they would have gotten slaughtered,” huffed one fan afterwards while another chirped, “They never would have won if Calvillo had stayed in the

THE
game.” I just smiled and nodded. Earlier in the season one fan complained that the games weren’t that entertaining because the Riders were blowing teams out week after week. Are you kidding me? Actually I think I’ve figured it out. It appears the Rider Nation would prefer if their team played error-free, perfect football but kept the games close enough so that they could win it in the end like a Hollywood movie script. However, that’s just not going to happen. Perhaps Chris Milo put it best after the game. “Huge thank you to all the 40,000+ at Mosaic today!” Milo wrote on Twitter. “Place was rockin’! Thank you for your endless support! Wasn’t pretty but a win is a win!” Indeed it is. And 6-1 looks pretty good to me.

Water drainage consultations online The Water Security Agency is launching its first ever online consultation forum on agricultural drainage. “We committed to developing new approaches and regulations on agricultural drainage in the 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan and this is a major step in that direction,” Minister responsible for Water Security Agency Ken Cheveldayoff said. “This online forum offers an opportunity to have a large number of people share ideas and information to help us develop the best overall policy.” The Water Security Agency hired Saskatoon based Insightrix Research to create the online engagement forum to consult with individuals across the province. The forum will focus on agricultural drainage and be active from September 1 to March 31. It allows participants to discuss a range of topics related to agricultural drainage, including downstream flooding, water quality, and effects on biodiversity. The forum is now accepting clients. Farmers, ranchers and landowners with an interest in agricultural drainage, and people impacted by or concerned about agricultural drainage, are encouraged to sign up now and help create a new drainage policy for the province by visiting the Water Security Agency’s website.

Major League opportunity Dalmeny youth heading to World Children’s Baseball Fair in Japan By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Davis Wright and his parents Tracy and Wade and siblings Adrianne, Anika and Carson
When 10-year old Davis Wright of Dalmeny got a phone call from one of his teammates on the Dalmeny Diamondbacks baseball team back in early April, he thought his buddy was pulling his leg. “My friend Mason said: ‘Davis, you’re going to Japan. You got picked!’ I thought he was joking, and I didn’t believe him.” said Davis Wright. “And then my Mom told me it was true. So I just thought: ‘Wow.’”
very successful season,” said Wade. “And getting a chance like this to go to a world-class event has definitely enhanced his love of baseball and helped him become more mature. Going all the way over to Japan without Mom and Dad and the rest of the family along will be a huge experience for him.” Tracy Wright said they encouraged Davis to apply for the opportunity, but they were still shocked when they got word he was selected. “Back in April, the reality of him leaving seemed a long way off, but now that it’s time for him to leave, I’m a little

Davis, a left-handed pitcher with the Diamondbacks, is one of five Saskatchewan youngsters chosen by Saskatchewan Baseball to attend the 2013 World Children’s Baseball Fair (WCBF) in Fukui, Japan. The annual fair, which is open to both boys and girls ages 10 and 11, runs from August 1726. Davis, along with four other young ball players and chaperone Brian Trollope, the President of Sask Baseball, left on Friday, August 16. They are slated to return August 27. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” confirmed Davis’ mother Tracy Wright. “For a 10-year old, it’s like winning the lottery.” The WCBF is a charitable organization founded in 1990 by major league baseball legends Hank Aaron and Sadaharu Oh to promote baseball skills and encourage international goodwill among children around the world. The international fair consists of cultural activities and baseball skills clinics. The first WCBF was held in 1990 in Los Angeles, California and the fair alternated between the USA and Japan until 2000, when Regina was the first Canadian city to host the event. In 2016, the town of Okotoks, Alberta is slated to be the host. Canada has participated every year, but the opportunity is spread equally among each province. This year, it was Sas-

“In a way it’s nice to come out of nowhere and take the western Canadian title,” he said. The Angels cruised to a 11-2 victory over third-place finishers Lloydminster Dodgers in the tournament quarter-final on Saturday, August 17 to earn a berth in the championship game.
DELISLE BATTLES HARD
The Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs, meanwhile, took the long, hard way to the final game. The host team came out of the round-robin with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. The Dogs eliminated the defending Western Canadian champions Bruno Merchants 4-1 in the other quarter-final game on August 17. With the win, the Dogs earned the right to face off against the Dodgers in the semi-final. The contest with the Dodg-
nervous,” she said. “But we’ve been in contact with all the families of the other Saskatchewan boys, and we met the chaperone, and we’re confident it will be a good experience for Davis.” Davis said he hopes to improve his pitching accuracy at the baseball clinics, and is looking forward to making friends from around the world. “I’ve got all my Canadian souvenirs packed,” said Davis with a grin. “I’ve got baseballs with the big red maple leaf on them, keychains and pins and other stuff to trade. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

katchewan’s turn to send young ball players. Five of the eight zones in Saskatchewan were selected, and minor baseball teams in those zones were were invited to apply. Dalmeny Diamondbacks coach Darren Lindberg, whose son Mason is on the team, encouraged all his
players to submit applications. “I had to write an essay explaining why I love the sport of baseball, and why I would be a good person to send to Japan,” said Davis in an interview on Wednesday, August 14, two days before he was scheduled to leave. “The essay was due at
the end of March. I also had to get references from my teachers and coach. It was a good experience. But I didn’t really expect to get picked.” Davis’ father Wade Wright said this past season has seen a lot of growth in his son. “The Diamondbacks had a
ers on Sunday morning, August 18 was a classic come-from-behind victory that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. After Delisle’s John Krahenbil hit an RBI single to allow Keith Mackintosh to score and tie the game at 2 apiece, Dogs’ ace pitcher Bryan Newton worked his way out of a bases-loaded hole in the bottom of the seventh to force an extra inning. Shawn Colborn scored on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Durham in the top of the eighth to put Delisle up by one, and the Dogs sealed the victory with a great defensive play at home plate for the first out followed by two strike-outs. “It was definitely the most exciting game we’ve played this year,” said Delisle left-fielder Mike Lawton. “It was one of those battles where nothing seemed to go right for us, but somehow it worked out in the end. Newton gutted it out for us and we managed to get in a run or two for the win.” But after pitching eight innings in the semi-final, Newton was called on to take over
at the end of the first inning in the championship game. It was a tough assignment to face the Angels’ hot bats, and Delisle soon found themselves in a 3-0 hole. It was 5-1 after four innings. The Dogs and Angels added one run each in the fifth to make it 6-2, and Delisle scored one more run in the top of the sixth. But Angels’ pitcher Devon McCullough retired three Delisle batters in a row in the top of the seventh to seal the win.
crowds.”
TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS
Mike Lawton said the Delisle team’s goal was the gold medal, but they were happy to make it to the championship final, whch likely added to the size of the crowd in the stands. “It was a good tournament from an organizing point of view,” said Lawton. “It’s nice to be playing in your own final, and get lots of people in the stands, By all accounts, it was a 100 per cent success. The weather was perfect, the games were great, and we’ve had great

Warman High alumni Wayndel Lewis uses his speed and power on third quarter kick return By WAYNE SHIELS
essenceofsask@gmail.com
The Saskatoon Hilltops began their quest for an unprecended fourth straight National Championship when they opened their regular season against the Winnipeg Rifles at Gordie Howe Bowl on Sunday, August 18. After a two and out by the Hilltops, the Rifles moved the ball down the field before settling on a 25 yard field goal. The Hilltops quickly responded when QB Matt Karpinka threw a lateral pass to backup QB Jared Andrechuk who then hit a wide open John Trumpy for a 62 yard pass and run TD. Three second quarter interceptions by the defence helped the Hilltops increase their lead with a pair of field goals and a TD on a short run by Andre Lalonde. Winnipeg started the second half strong but came up with no points on a missed field
goal and an unsuccessful fake field goal. Hilltops added another field goal before Winnipeg scored their first TD. Warman High alumni Wayndel Lewis had a great 39 yard return on the resulting kickoff that led to a 42 yard field goal by Hilltop kicker Brett Thorarinson. Winnipeg responded with a field goal, before the Hilltops moved the ball the length of the field largely on runs by Andre Lalonde, who rushed for 150 yards on 18 carries in the game. Nolan Graham finished the drive with a 15 yard run. Winnipeg scored a TD with 2:10 left and on their next possession moved the ball to Saskatoon’s 10 yard line before the Hilltops defence preserved the 3220 win by stopping the Rifles on a 3rd down gamble. The Hilltops next home game is at Gordie Howe Bowl 7:00pm. Friday, September 7 vs. Regina.

enough to take on such big projects. He said the proximity to the north and lake country was also appealing for an RV Mall and that working with the City of Martensville was refreshing. “The city and the people there are very business-oriented, forward-thinking and progress-driven,” said Oakes. “These are values which matched with my goals perfectly.” Shewchuk said Martens-
ville’s growth is leading to increased demand for specialized services like the future RV Mall. “With our population growth and thousands of vehicles passing by Martensville each day, business owners are seeing how successful even specialized commercial development projects in Martensville can be,” Shewchuk said. Over the past two years, several fast-food franchises including Taco Time, Tim Horton’s, Dairy Queen, Little Cae-
sar’s Pizza, and Second Cup have expanded into Martensville. Other major companies currently undertaking projects are Pharmasave and Canalta Hotels. Saskatoon Co-op is slated to open a new gas bar and convenience store in the coming year. “These are really exciting times for Martensville, and we’re looking forward to continued development in our city, particularly in our commercial areas, “concluded Shewchuk.

A scam involving a traveling group of males that have been representing themselves as a small paving company has apparently surfaced in this area. Flyers advertising a hot mix asphalt paving service have appeared in Warman, Dalmeny and other communities in the last few weeks. There have also been reports of individuals going door to door soliciting for the paving work. The Warman RCMP detachment has confirmed there have been inquiries from residents, but so far no complaints have been lodged and no investigation is being pursued. The scam first came to light in mid-August when the RCMP detachment in White Butte, Saskatchewan launched an investigation into complaints from local residents. According to the RCMP, the suspcts “have been popping up in communities and going door to door saying they are a paving comapny which has left-over asphalt from a nearby job. They then offer paving services at a reduced rate. They do a portion of the work, then get the victim to give them a large portion of the agreed price. They say they will be back the next day to finish the job but do not return.” The White Butte RCMP said there were at least seven victims from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The suspect is described as 5’ 8” tall, with light brown hair,, 175 pounds, and approximately 50 years of age, with the first name of Pat. Pat and his accomplice speak with an Irish accent. The suspects were last seen traveling in a White Dodge Ram truck which is believed to be stolen.
went to the meetings and we were finally successful in starting it. Now it’s growing and will be expanding soon.” McGuire said she learned something every day while on the job, and no two days were ever the same. “I’ll miss the people,” she said. “Both the town residents I saw on the street every day and my colleagues at the shop. But it’s definitely time to move on to something else at this point in my life.” McGuire officially retired from her post as Foreman on July 31. But after a break during the month of August to take a holiday that included participating in a World Masters Volleyball Tournament in Italy, she’ll start a new job as Project Manager and Safety Officer with Bridge City Mechanical. “It will be much the same kind of work,” she said. “But I won’t be on call having to rush out the door every time
there’s a major rain storm.” McGuire’s passion for hard work carries over into sports. She’s coached volleyball in Martensville schools, and has been involved with Outer Limits Volleyball Club in Martensville for the past 25 years, and been responsible for running the club for the past 18 years. “I love volleyball,” she said. “It’s a special kind of sport.” In addition to playing on a Saskatchewan masters volleyball team, she also plays for a team based in California. “I travel to California three or four time a year,” she said. “I’ve played in the World Masters tournament five times, most recently in Italy. Our team didn’t do very well, but it was an amazing experience. Italy is a beautiful country.” Now that her children are grown, McGuire says she’s looking forward to spending more time on the court and devoting time to her new job.
