2014 New Year’s Resolution..

Aberdeen welcomes new town councilor

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Aberdeen will be swearing in a new councilor during its first meeting of the new year on January 21.

Ryan White, who has been living in the community since 2007, threw his hat into the ring when there was a call for nominations for the position in late December.

He won the position by acclamation.

White, who relocated to

Aberdeen from Prince Albert and is a police officer for the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS), said he is looking forward to his new role.

“When I was was living in Prince Albert I ran for city council twice. I always thought it was part of my responsibility living in a community that I should do what I can to give back,” said White. “When the possibility came up to be a member of Aberdeen’s town council I

thought this was a good opportunity.”

Besides general patrol and instructing for the SPS, White’s other community service roles involve coaching his kids’ soccer and lacrosse teams.

He said moving his family to Aberdeen was an easy decision.

“It’s a nice and quiet town to live in. Plus with doing my job in Saskatoon it is nice to get out of the city and take a

bit of a break.”

Aberdeen’s next general municipal election won’t be held until October 26, 2016 but White said he plans to be on the ballot.

“When I decided to take on this role, I didn’t take it lightly. My family doesn’t have any plans to move anywhere.

My kids have spent some significant time in the community. I think it is a good spot for them to be. I hope to be on council for a long time.”

One person critically injured in collision west of airport One person were taken to hospital with critical injuries following a two-vehicle collision on Friday evening, January 10.

Warman RCMP responded to the incident, which occurred on Range Road 373 (also known as Beam Road), approximately one kilometer past the Saskatoon Airport.

According to Warman RCMP, an SUV and a minivan collided when the minivan entered the opposing lane, possibly because of road conditions. An investigation is ongoing.

Each vehicle had two occupants and one person was taken to hospital with critical injuries.

The road was closed for a short time while the collision was being investigated and the wreckage removed from the scene.

RCMP Traffic Services accident reconstruction personelle were on scene. Saskatoon Police Service was also on scene with an accident reconstructionist providing assis-

Province reports increase in available jobs The popularity of SaskJobs. ca as the go-to website for employers and job seekers in Saskatchewan continued to grow in 2013.

The 16,019 monthly average job postings advertised on the website in 2013 reflect an increase of 5.6 per cent (852) compared to the monthly average of job postings in 2012.

“Saskatchewan’s diversified and opportunity-rich economy is sustaining a highly active job market for our people and businesses,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “With the lowest unemployment rate in Canada throughout 2013 along with our province’s highest annual job creation growth on record, we have a lot to offer, and the web traffic at SaskJobs.ca certainly reflects this.”

Visits to Saskjobs.ca were up 9.8 per cent (1,124,071) yearover-year to reach 12,583,669.

Notable increases in traffic sources were the Philippines (138.6 per cent), United Arab Emirates (65.0 per cent), Alberta (38.7 per cent), Quebec (28.7 per cent), United States (22.9

per cent), British Columbia (12.8 per cent), and Prince Edward Island (11.1 per cent).

A significant proportion (79 per cent) of the 2013 vacancies required at least high school diploma, and 44 per cent of job vacancies are oriented toward

higher skill levels requiring at least some post-secondary education or management experience.

Among the provinces, most website traffic comes from Alberta, while the Philippines leads international visits.

Flu shots limited to children and expectant mothers as supplies of vaccine dry up Health officials are implementing plans to ensure that limited influenza vaccine supplies are used as effectively as possible. The province is now focusing vaccination efforts only on children under five years of age and pregnant women.

Approximately 25 per cent of Saskatchewan residents have received influenza vaccinations since last fall. However, the continuing high demand has used up the province’s supply of 280,000 doses, and additional supplies are limited.

“We know that there is a global vaccine supply issue, and we continue to work with the Public Health Agency of Canada and our partners in other jurisdictions to secure additional vaccine,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said. “While more vaccine is expected to arrive in the coming days, we feel it

is now necessary to focus our vaccination efforts on those at highest risk from H1N1.”

Influenza cases continue to increase in Saskatchewan.

The province has confirmed seven influenza-related deaths as of January 10, 2014, as well as a total of 32 intensive care unit hospitalizations and 618 lab-confirmed influenza cases this flu season.

H1N1, which continues to be the predominant strain circulating in Saskatchewan and across Canada, poses the greatest risk to those who were born after the strain first surfaced in 2009. Children under five years of age and pregnant women are most susceptible and at greatest risk of severe illness from HIN1.

Dr. Werker added that as flu season continues, the province will continuously assess its approach and make changes as necessary.

Construction of SaskPower distribution line set to begin Expansion project will add much-needed stability to power grid north of Saskatoon

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Construction has begun on several components of SaskPower’s Saskatoon Area Reinforcement (SAR) project aimed at boosting capacity in the region north of Saskatoon.

Work has already commenced on the Martensville substation, located near the Martensville wastewater lagoon; and a new 138 kilovolt (kV) line connecting the Martensville substation to the City of Saskatoon is slated to begin in the next few weeks, according to SaskPower Environmental Issues Management Supervisor Bernie Bolen.

“The intent is to get started this winter and get as much done as possible when the ground is frozen, particularly in those areas that tend to be wet,” said Bolen in an interview on Wednesday, January 8. “It’s a major expansion project and there will be three different crews working on the different aspects of the project over its entire length.”

Bolen said the objective is to complete as much of the SAR project as possible by the end of 2014. In addition to the new switching station and substation north of Saskatoon in the Martensville area, there will also be a new switching station northeast of Saskatoon in the Aberdeen area; a 230 kV transmission line connecting these two stations, a 230 kV transmission line from the new Aberdeen switching station to he existing Wolverine switching station, and a 138

kV transmission line connecting the Martensville substation to the City of Saskatoon.

The project has been in the works for several years, and a series of engineering studies and public consultations have been held to determine optimum locations and routes for the switching stations and transmission lines. The goal is to boost electrical capacity and reliability in the region north of Saskatoon, Bolen said the biggest challenge was routing the lines to cause the least disruption to existing and future infrastructure in the rapidlydeveloping area. He noted the exact route of the 7.1 kilometer-long transmission line from the Martensville substation into the north industrial area of Saskatoon is the last piece of the puzzle to be finalized.

“This line is the key to getting the

new source of energy from the Martensville substation into the north end of Saskatoon,” said Bolen. “Right now Saskatoon and the region to the north of Saskatoon are entirely dependent on the Queen Elizabeth power station. All the lines come from the south. This will be a new one from the north and that will provide backup so that if something were to happen at the QE station or in between, that substation could stay live because it would have a second source of electricity.”

The line will go around the perimeter of a new industrial park in the RM of Corman Park south of Martensville and then turn south. Bolen said the line will cross Highway 11 at a location a short distance west of the Wanuskewin Road intersection.

“Originally the plan was to follow the CN Rail tracks as closely as pos-

sible,” he said. “But the crossing was moved west because we didn’t want the power line crossing the highway at the same location as the tracks.

We had a compromise engineering solution whereby SaskPower will put in place reinforced structures at locations where the Highways Ministry is predicting the Perimeter Highway will be built. Those structures will allow us to turn the lines at those locations if necessary in the future.”

He said if the current proposed route of the Perimeter Highway is changed, the power line crossing could also remain where it is built without being altered. The RM of Corman Park council is currently reviewing the proposed route of the transmission line and is expected to provide feedback to SaskPower in the near future.

Regional water utility’s hopes rest on government funding

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Southwest Regional Water Utility (SWRWU) is hoping to access funding announced in the New Building Canada Plan by the Federal Government in the coming months.

George Kool, chairman of the SWRWU, said the ninemember utility committee is ready to submit the application for funding.

“What we are doing right now is preparing financial statements and letters of support,” explained Kool. “When we make the application to the government for our grant money they are going to look at our predesign and whether or not we have contacted banks for interim financing, which we have.”

Other documents that will form part of the application process include an updated subscriber map, a supply agreement with Saskwater and subscriber lists of support for this project.

The project currently includes a registry of 190 subscribers that want to see this project go forward.

“We will include whatever support documents that are available to help our application. It is not a bad subscriber list because it is 190 applications but it equates to approximately 300 water taps or connections.

Kool said residents in this area are primarily using well water. He added that 25 to 30 of the 190 subscribers are hooked up to a non potable line.

“The Ministry of the Environment has given direction to have those house connections turned off,” said Kool.

“They have been working on getting us off that line almost two years now.”

Kool stated in a SWRWU December press release that anyone still interested in joining the subscriber list have to act soon.

“Once we make the application early in 2014 for funding, only those subscribers on the list will be eligible to receive

Kool said the SWRWU wasn’t lucky enough to be awarded funding from the original Building Canada Fund but he is even more hopeful the second time around.

“It’s been a tough process waiting for money. It is taking a lot longer than what we anticipated, but this project is alive and well. We are just waiting on government assistance. Our hope is that it will be released in the next couple of months.”

Liberal ‘L’ spelled eventual loss for NDP

Follow Alberta’s sun-shiny example

By GREGORY THOMAS

Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

Ottawa needs to follow Alberta’s example and let the sun shine on bureaucrats’ pay packages.

Alberta just became the seventh provincial government in Canada to let taxpayers know how much they are paying senior government employees.

And Alberta’s new sunshine policy is the most sweeping and comprehensive in the country.

For any employee earning over $100,000, salaries, benefits, bonuses, employer-paid pension contributions and deferred compensation, even severance will all be public information. In making thousands of her senior officials accountable to taxpayers for the money they earn, Premier Alison Redford has demonstrated courage. She deserves praise for this progressive reform.

Redford’s courage stands in marked contrast to Ottawa’s approach to pay accountability. In a city racked by scandal over expense fraud, where the wanton greed of some senators has done incalculable damage to the reputations of all politicians, providing taxpayers with salary disclosure should be a no-brainer for the government.

Instead, insiders from the Office of the Prime Minister (PMO) arranged in June for a Commons committee to gut the salary disclosure provisions of Bill C-461, the private member’s bill brought forward by Alberta MP Brent Rathgeber and passed in its original form by a majority of the full House of Commons. The political operators in the PMO, who are not themselves subject to any salary or severance disclosure, arranged for the committee to raise the disclosure threshold to $441,661, exempting all but a handful of government officials from any public scrutiny whatsoever.

For a government that has raised payroll spending from $28 billion to $44 billion in just seven years, its determination to cover up salaries, six-figure bonuses that can add up to 40 per cent of total pay, benefits, pension entitlements and severance packages, simply doesn’t pass the smell test.

It’s hardly surprising four of the seven Conservative MPs frog-marched into the committee to vote against salary disclosure were not even members of the committee, but acting members. Or that all but one western Conservative were absent that day, leaving six Ontarians, mostly newcomers to caucus, to carry out the dirty work. Or that many weren’t present to hear the testimony of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation or the National Citizens Coalition, where Stephen Harper once campaigned for accountability as its president.

Defenders of the Harper government cite a non-existent right to privacy for government executives as justification for salary secrecy. They make specious arguments about jealousy around the water cooler in government offices. The logic, for want of a better term, that they apply, is that once government employees know what their co-workers are making, their salary demands will escalate, and taxpayers will lose.

They cite a single 2010 study from the University of Toronto, whose principal author actually appears on Ontario’s Sunshine salary disclosure list, a study cited nearly nowhere in academic journals since it was first published, and whose mathematical underpinnings have been thoroughly debunked by researchers at MIT. The truth is that employee costs have been skyrocketing in Ottawa, in provinces with sunshine lists and in provinces without sunshine lists. In fact, the average payrolls cost for a single federal government staffer have gone from $86,000 when the Conservatives took office in 2006 to $114,000 last year. The Parliamentary Budget Office forecasts it could reach $129,000 by 2015.

Further, how are taxpayers supposed to judge whether these high salaries, and even bonuses, are warranted when they haven’t the foggiest idea of how much they are?

On salary accountability Conservatives in Ottawa need to change course. They need to follow the lead of Conservatives in Alberta, conservatives like former premier Mike Harris, who brought salary accountability to Ontario, and conservatives like the Stephen Harper who fought for accountability so long ago.

There are many of you who may have a hard time remembering Saskatchewan Liberals – let alone what was once known in this province as the “Liberal L”.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Before successive failed provincial Liberal leaders that have included Ryan Bater, David Karwacki, Jim Melenchuk, Lynda Haverstock, Ralph Goodale, Ted Malone and Davey Steuart, there was a successful Liberal government.

It was elected 50 years ago under leader Ross Thatcher in the aftermath of the great Medicare fight and would serve two terms before losing power in 1971.

But even before that election 50 years ago that ended the 20-year run of the Tommy Douglas/Woodrow Lloyd administration, there was what was affectionately known as the “Liberal L”. It was the rural seats along the Alberta and U.S. borders dominat-

where we are at today.

It may be 50 years since that last Liberal government was first elected, but it’s also 50 years since the end of the Tommy Douglas era. In other words, the age of the CCFNDP being the natural governing party of Saskatchewan is long over and has been over for some time.

Admittedly, we have had NDP governments in 27 of the last 50 years – largely due to the fall-out from the incompetence and corruption of the Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives and fact that the PCs and Liberals tended to split the right-of-centre vote prior to the arrival of the Saskatchewan Party.

But you look at Saskatchewan governance since the turn of the millennium and forward to the high likelihood of Premier Brad Wall’s government winning the next election, the tide has certainly shifted away from the NDP. As of the last election when the NDP struggled to win nine seats (none of which were in rural Saskatchewan), it no longer is much of a force in urban Saskatchewan today, either.

And if you have ever wondered when the tide really started to turn, look no further than that Thatcher election 50 years ago and the old Liberal L. While the NDP certainly held strong under Allan Blakeney in the 1970s and the Roy Romanow/Lorne Calvert governments of the 1990s, the area of resistance was always in that Liberal L. It was in places like Weyburn in the 1970s where the resistance to NDP philosophy and policies took the form of the establishment of the Weyburn Inland Terminal – the first of its kind that was owned and operated by farmer shareholders.

It was the also in communities along both borders where the Romanow government’s closure of rural hospitals was most bitterly opposed. And it was in this area where we often saw the greatest opposition to the education taxes on farmland.

While that opposition to the NDP approach has now spread throughout rural Saskatchewan and even into the cities, it is important to note where it all started.

Reader Opinions

Post office pigs unacceptable There’s a question I have been dying to ask the people who are throwing their unwanted mail on the floor of the Warman post office: What in the world is wrong with you?

In September, Canada Post decided that they would no longer provide either recycling or trash receptacles in the post office lobby. Their stated reason was privacy concerns because people were leaving behind mail that carried their name and address as well as other information. I also suspect that the cost of the recycling service and garbage bags

ed by Liberal candidates even at a time when the CCF-NDP was still very successful in rural Saskatchewan.

Of course, much has changed in the past 50 years, although maybe not everything. That Thatcher Liberal government is long gone and so are the Liberals – first supplanted by Progressive Conservatives and now merged into the Saskatchewan Party.

But back then long before the second and even first federal Liberal leader named Trudeau, Liberals in Saskatchewan represented a very different brand of politics. It was a more right-wing brand inherited from its roots of Premiers Jimmy Gardiner and Walter Scott that so dominated the first 40 years of Saskatchewan politics.

These Liberals were perfectly comfortable in the oilranching-farming country along both borders. Even today, it is still considered the area of the province still considered today as the most right-wing and anti-NDP. So what does this history lesson have to do with today`s politics, you may ask? Well, it actually has a lot to do with

played a role in the decision.

Anyone who saw the volume of paper deposited daily could understand this.

Despite the fact that notices were posted in the lobby detailing both the change in policy and ways to address unwanted mail as well as asking people to take ALL of their mail home, some post office patrons seemed oblivious to or unwilling to acknowledge the situation. Flyers and other mail soon began to be piled on the two shelves in the lobby. When one shelf was removed, the pile simply grew faster and larger on the remaining one. Finally, that shelf, too, was removed.

At that point, I was sure that people would finally take the hint. Instead, I and everyone

else who uses the post office, have been greeted by piles of flyers and mail dumped on the floor. This is not even remotely acceptable behavior. Do these people throw their garbage on their mother’s floor or their own living room floor?

As someone who visits the post office nearly every week day, I’ve watched all this with interest and growing annoyance since the beginning. Yes, it was more convenient to leave unwanted junk mail at the post office but it is hardly an unbearable burden to do the culling at home. If the people acting this way are trying to protest the decision to remove the bins, this is an extremely ineffective method to choose.

They are being rude and disre-

spectful not only to the post office staff -- who did not make this decision -- but to everyone else who uses the facility. If they want to protest, they should write, phone or email Canada Post. Post office patrons can also inquire at the post office counter about the Consumer’s Choice Program and other options to reduce unwanted mail.

So (with apologies to real pigs who are rather fastidious creatures) those of you acting like post office pigs – please stop it. You’re accomplishing nothing but embarrassing yourself by demonstrating that you don’t know how to behave properly.

Putting priorities first Warman, Martensville both follow snow removal systems, accumulation hauled to dump sites

A load of snow is picked up on 6th Avenue in Warman on Wednesday, January 8 TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Public works crews in Warman and Martensville have been able to keep streets clear so far this winter, but there could be challenges if a series of major snowfalls hit late in the season.

“I’d say overall, we’re keeping up,” said Warman Public Works Manager Randy Fehr in a phone interview on Wednesday, January 8. “The snowfalls have been fairly steady and spaced apart. We haven’t really been overwhelmed by anything

yet.”

Fehr said the public works department’s first priority after a major snowfall is to get high-traffic arterial and collector streets plowed as quickly as possible.

“After the main streets are clear, then we tackle the residential neighbourhoods,” said Fehr. “We try to get out there and get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible with the resources we have.”

After the snow is pushed to the side of the road, city crews load it into trucks to be taken to a snow dump on the south side of the city. Warman has one loader and two single-axle dump trucks, said Fehr.

“At this point, that’s sufficient to handle the workload,” he said. “As the city grows, we

may have to look at some changes in staff scheduling or maybe add more staff and equipment, but right now I think we’re able to keep on top of things.”

A new bylaw in Warman outlines the priority streets for snow clearing.

Martensville Director of Planning and Infrastructure Joe Doxey said public works crews in that commnity are also doing their best to ensure the roads are clear and snowpiles are hauled off the streets and sidewalks as efficiently as possible.

“We’ve pretty much wrapped up clearing all the main arterial and collector roads and we’ve started clearing the local residential streets,” said Doxey.

Snow removal important

Sustainability key to future growth, says new Warman City Manager

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Stanley Westby took over as City Manager for Warman on January 2 and is already feeling pretty much at home, both in his new role and in the community.

“It’s been a bit of a learning curve for the first week or so, getting to know the staff and the different departments, and the community in general,” said Westby in an interview on Friday, January 10. “There’s a very talented, dedicated and diverse group of people who work for the city. And the demographics show that a lot of young, talented and well-educated people make up the fastest-growing group within the municipality.

“I want to be somewhere where people are excited about their future and the growth and development of their community and region,” he continued. “We have an opportunity here to plan for not just this generation, but future generations as well.”

Westby says “sustainability” is the key to ensuring people have a high quality of life into the future.

“I have three children,” he said. “I’m hoping we can make this a better world for them and future generations.”

In 2008, while he was City Manager for the City of Powell River, B.C., he represented the B.C. Local Government Municipal Association in an exchange with a counterpart from New Zealand. That experience, he said, helped him realize the importance of planning in a holistic way.

“I saw how the four pillars of sustainability are enshrined

WILLOWGROVE & SILVERSPRINGS LOCATIONS

right in their Municipal Act,” said Westby. “Those four pillars are Fiscal, Environmental, Cultural, and Health and Welfare Sustainability.

“Fiscal sustainability basically says you live within your means, and you finance for replacement of infrastructure and assets for future generations” Westby said New Zealand went through a financial crisis in the late 1980s and governments at all levels were forced to change the way they did business. Infrastructure costs now have to include replacement costs and funding for maintenance and operations.

It’s a lesson that Canadians need to adopt, he said.

“When you look at the infrastructure deficit we’re faced with in Canada and most of the western world, it’s pretty significant,” he said. “We’re faced with infrastructure that is nearing the end of its useful life, and we don’t have money set aside to replace it. We’ve had instances where bridges and overpasses have collapsed, and we simply can’t allow that to happen. We need to make sure there is enough money to replace infrastrucutre as it ages over time.”

Westby said the fact that much of the infrastructure being built now in Warman and the rest of the region is new offers a perfect opportunity to put those principles of sustainability into practice.

Westby said the western provinces are “leaders” in the area of asset management in Canada, and noted there is also a lot of innovation taking place on the environmental sustainability front in western

Canada.

“That’s the vision I have for this community and this region,” he said, “one that is well-planned and well-managed, and sustainable from a fiscal, cultural and health and well-being perspective.”

Westby said new energy-efficient technologies offer a huge opportunity for sustainability.

“One of the most exciting projects I worked on in Whitehorse, Yukon, was a ‘borehole thermal technology’ project,” he stated. “We had built a new subdivision which we were hoping to heat in a totally selfsustaining way. This technology uses sunlight captured during the summer, and stores it in a bore hole in the ground, where it is drawn up and used to heat buildings throughout the year. New solar panels that are coming out now are highlyefficient. The concept is being pioneered in Okotoks, Alberta.”

The Drake Landing Solar Community (DLSC) in Okotoks is a planned neighbourhood that is heated by a district system designed to store abundant solar energy underground during the summer months and distribute the energy to each home for space heating needs during winter months. The system fulfills 90 per cent of each home’s space heating requirements from solar energy.

“I would be very excited if we could develop a planned subdivision in Warman that tapped into this type of renewable resource,” Westby said.

Westby said he’s also looking forward to working with neighbouring urban and rural municipalities within the region.

Snow removal important in Martensville “We’re starting on the south side, and working our way north.”

The work involves clearing and hauling out the snow from the residential neighbourhoods, said Doxey.

“On the major roadways like Main Street the road is wide enough that we are able to windrow, or pile the snow, in the middle of the street, and then come back and haul it off,” he said. “If we can leave it stacked for short periods, that allows us to get the graders out ahead and get the streets cleared first.

“But in the local residential streets, we’ll windrow it and then take it off right away.”

The City of Martensville has two loaders and three trucks, with a fourth truck outfitted for spreading sand. The city is also

currently using two private trucks under daily contracts to haul snow as the need arises.

The City of Martensville policy is to clear all the residential streets at least twice a winter, said Doxey. “When we go citywide, we’ll use more contractors,” he noted.

Because a large portion of the established neighbourhoods in Martensville do not have a storm sewer system, the snow must be hauled out because the meltwater runoff in warm weather may cause difficulties.

Doxey said the City of Martensville will post signs in neighbourhoods ahead of snow clearing days to give residents an opportunity to find alternate parking spots.

The Martensville snow dump is located on city-owned property near the wastewater la-

City snow-clearing policy

goon. Doxey said some preparatory landscaping work had to be done to the site last summer and fall to allow large trucks to safely drive on the land.

Private businesses located in Martensville are permitted to dump snow hauled from their property without charge, but access to the site is limited.

“There is a gate that is locked to keep some of the extra-curricular donations down to a minimum,” said Doxey.

Doxey said the amount of space available for snow storage is fairly limited, so the snow must be piled as high as possible using a bulldozer. Last year, he noted the city was able to lease commercial land between Centennial Drive and Highway 12 to dump snow. But commercial development of that land is now in full swing, and that option is no longer available, he added.

The following information was released by the City of Martensville City Manager’s office on Friday, January 10: Over the past few years the City of Martensville has been working towards an accepted procedure for blading snow and snow removal on City streets.

The goal is to create a program that is both cost conscious as well as satisfactory for residents. With the increase in the number of City streets as well as a desire to increase service City Council has approved an increase in the budget amount used for snow removal. The majority of the increase will be used to hire trucks for hauling away the snow. With an average or above average snow fall the snow will be removed twice on residential streets compared to once the last couple years. The following procedure has been approved by City Council. Since Martensville is a surface drainage community it is very important to remove the majority of snow from City streets prior to spring run-off.

The general procedure that will be followed after periods of snow fall is; - Sanding of intersections will be completed as required.

- Moderate Snow Fall - Arterial and collector streets are bladed to the side (parking lane). When enough snow has accumulated from multiple bladings or the ridge becomes a nuisance then the snow will be removed. Attention is paid to school areas where the snow will be removed periodically (preference is to complete outside school hours). Residential streets are not bladed and the snow will be left to be compacted by traffic. There have been concerns over the snow ridge blocking parking in front of residential properties. Snow will be bladed in isolated areas (streets or lanes) where there is an excess accumulation. When rutting causes problems with driving on residential streets; the snow will be bladed to the side with total removal commencing shortly after blading.

Sidewalks on Centennial Drive and Main Street will be cleaned as soon as possible after blading is completed.

- Heavy Snow Fall – All streets are bladed to the side as soon as snowing has stopped. The priority for blading is arterial/collector, school areas, residential streets and lanes with multiple unit dwellings. As equipment becomes available from the other priority areas then the remaining lanes will be bladed. Removal will commence after the entire City has been bladed.

- Snow removal will be completed on a regular basis from arterial/collector streets and school areas. These areas see the most traffic and they are priorities for the City to remain open and clear. The City attempts to remove snow from residential streets shortly after the area has been ridged however other snow falls may require the City to clear arterial/collector streets and schools.

The City will continue to post areas for a minimum of 24 hours prior to blading for total removal. Vehicles that are obstructing the removal process will be ticketed and towed so City crews are able to complete their work. We would also ask for your cooperation to avoid the areas where the equipment is working.

Heart and Soul Special Olympics team in the running for Sask. Sport Inc. team of the year honour

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon Stingers took the long, hard road to bring home the world championship gold medal in floor hockey.

But it was all worth it.

The Special Olympics team, made up of members from Saskatoon, Martensville, Prince Albert and Debden, defeated Mexico last February to win the gold medal in the T3 division at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in the Republic of Korea.

The team is made up of 16 players, three coaches and four training coaches. The athletes, who ranged in age from 17 to 47, were honoured by the Government of Saskatchewan and Sask Sport during a ceremony at the Saskatchewan legislature last April.

On January 8, Sask. Sport Inc. announced that the team is one of three finalists in the team category for the Sask.

Sport Inc. 2013 Athlete of the Year awards.

The awards are given out annually to recognize individual athletes and teams for their outstanding contributions and achievements in amateur sport.

According to Sask Sport, three finalists are chosen in the following categories: master, youth male, youth female, male, female and team.

Altogether there are 14 finalists, including three teams, vying to win the award for their category.

Ken Snell, who has a son with autism, has been involved with Special Olympics for 20 years and coached for 15 years.

He said two-thirds of the team has been around for 15 years while remaining members have been involved for two to six years.

During that time the team never made it past provincials until 2010. In 2013, the team not only won the provincial championship, it went on to nationals and eventually advanced to the worlds. That successful run left a lot of team members dumbfounded, said Snell.

“These guys worked their butts offs,” said Snell. “They practiced three days a week and trained by practicing yoga, power lifting and a lot of cardio. They were very dedicated.

We even had some guys travel from Prince Albert and Debden to practise with the team once a week.”

Snell explained that Special Olympics in Saskatoon has about 240 athletes in each zone.

In floor hockey there were forty players with limited to very high ability levels split into three groups.

Snell could only take 16 players to South Korea.

When the team earned the opportunity to represent Can-

Members of Saskatoon’s T3 Special Olympics Floor Hockey team (Stingers) which won the gold in South Korea in 2013.

Special Olympic Floor Hockey team member Mike Snell, Head coach Ken Snell and member Chris Sayers are eager to defend their gold medal title in Austria in 2017. ada at the Special Olympic world games in South Korea, they experienced some preparation training for the big tournament by travelling to Toronto for three days, then Lake Placid New York to play against American Teams.

Ken Snell’s son Mike said it was an interesting experience meeting people with autism from different cultures around the world.

Snell explained that it wasn’t an easy road to gold for his team. At first the players were overwhelmed by the calibre of players represented there.

“When our team first arrived, they played seeding and round robin games and they lost the first three. They were really depressed and thought these teams were too good and they were never going to beat them. We had a team meeting afterward and they went out and never lost a game.”

Snell said during the 14 day

trip, the team spent about four days in the host village to help get over the jet lag and experience some culture. For the next ten days, the team played two games a day against Germany, Mexico, India, Singapore, South Africa and Poland.

Last November, the Stingers were awarded team of the year honours by Special Olympics Canada.

When Snell told players that they were in the running for the Sask Sport Inc award it was a pleasant surprise.

“One of the athletes looked and me and said with normal athletes,” said Snell. “Yeah I said with normal athletes. I said you are up against the Regina Thunder football team and a girls softball team. Normal generic kids that play sports like you do. They thought it was great.”

After winning at every level, Snell said the team is not planning on slowing down.

He said his team plans on

Langham Museum members celebrate Christmas with banquet

By SELA BALZER

Langham Correspondent

The Langham Museum festively decorated for the December 4 Christmas Banquet was the place to be for great food, greater entertainment and greatest fun. Each place setting at the banquet table was adored with a small brown paper treat bag, the content of which brought back an incredibly fond memory of the Christmas treat bags we received as kids. It was exciting to open the bag and discover the peanuts, Christmas candy and of course the orange, I chuckled as I remembered how even the soft tissue wrapping around the orange was coveted back then.

A group of ladies from the Zoar Church, The Homemakers Fellowship, cooked and served the first of the season’s turkey dinners, which was most definitely ‘fit for a king!’ Following the dinner Mayor Bev Panas spoke giving a brief report on a number of projects that the Town of Langham had completed in the past year, the one of most interest or approval to museum members was the overhauling of the water system by their building; coffee makers are now permitted to use water from the tap for morning coffee breaks.

A draw was made for a Teddy Bear that the Museum received from Tele Miracle acknowledging the donation made by the Plus 60 Group and Museum committee; Terry Pugh won the draw. Doreen Nickel presented several ‘Thank-you’ gifts, the first of which went to summer students Paige and Mitchell Yellowless, she acknowledged the great job the sister and brother team had done of manning the museum over the summer months, Terry Pugh, entertainer for the evenings, was the second recipient.

Terry did a great job of entertaining, he began by playing his guitar and singing ‘Mother Queen of my Heart’, noticing that there was still

He obviously got the reaction he wanted as he then carried on with good old classic tunes switching back and forth from guitar to accordion and even the harmonica. Thank you Terry, you are truly a great entertainer and hopefully you will come back again.

At the end of the evening draws were made for the gorgeous poinsettia table centers, it was fitting that Mayor Bev Panas was the first name drawn.

Those present celebrating birthdays in December were Darlene Dear and Jim MacDonald. Darlene Dear won the monthly hostess gift and nearly everyone in attendance received a door prizes.

Dressed as twin brothers Hella MacDonald and I re-enacted a poem ‘Brother John’ that we had recited as kids for a Christmas Concert years ago in Queensland School; we played a ‘Songs of Christmas’ quiz and Paul Ikert, with Darlene Dear at the piano, lead us in a number of familiar Christmas carols to round out a fun evening.

POTLUCK SUPPER The monthly Pot Luck supper was held on Wednesday December 18th with Rose and Henry Dick hosting, once again the tables were creatively decorated. It was grand to have several new comers and visitors in attendance and a real treat to have a couple of little ones as well. Rose Dick welcomed Tom and Lisa Knoulles (recently moved to Langham), Katherine Schultz with little Matthew and Emma, Orville and Tina Ens

Vipers take bite out of Wolfpack

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

North Division title bragging rights in the Saskatchewan AA Bantam Hockey League were on the line Sunday, January 12 and the Sask Valley Vipers didn’t disappoint, shutting out the North East Wolfpack 3-0.

It was a slow start for both teams with lots of physical play and tight forechecking, resulting in a scoreless opening period. In the middle of the second stanza, Benson Thorpe caught a juicy rebound on a shot by Jared Hamm to beat Wolfpack goaltender Hunter Arps to make it 1-0 Vipers.

The Wolfpack intensified their physical presence after that goal and nearly tied the game on a breakaway but Vipers goaltender Joel Grzybowski shut the door.

In the third period, the Vipers added an insurance marker when Ty McBeth blew past Wolfpack defenders, raced down the length of ice and wristed one upstairs over Arps to make it 2-0.

The Wolfpack goaltender was pulled for an extra attacker with less than two minutes re-

maining in the third. But, Vipers Jared Hamm floated the puck into the open net to make it 3-0 and cap off the game’s scoring.

The Wolfpack are second place in the SAABHL’s North Division standings with a record of 14-4-3 for 31 points. The Vipers currently sit in first place – a position they’ve held for most of the season – with a sparkling 18-2-4 record for 36 points.

The Vipers have picked up where they left off, registering three wins in four games so far in the New Year. The team’s impressive 18 game winning streak in 2013 came to a halt on December 22 in a 3-1 loss to the South Division leading Prairie Storm.

On Saturday, the Vipers endured their second loss of the season dropping a 2-1 decision to the Battlefords Barons at the Martensville Arena. Vipers head coach Shaun Priel said his team needed the loss to help the players refocus on winning their remaining eight regular season games.

describe what happened during Saturday night’s game,” explained Priel following the win over the Wolfpack. “We didn’t work hard enough and they did. We had a good meeting before the game (Sunday) and challenged the kids to be the best players they can be. They responded pretty darn well against the Wolfpack.”

Priel said consistency is going to be needed to stay ahead of other teams heading into post-season play.

“We need to be playing every shift of our remaining games with consistent effort because that is what is going to get the job done,” he said. “We are not a one man team. We don’t have one guy that we can put on the ice to score, three, four or five goals for us. We need everyone holding the rope and pulling it in the same direction each time.”

If the Vipers can remain solid until the end of February – and have a successful playoff run – the team could find itself playing in the Western Canada Bantam Championship in Kelowna, British Columbia from April 3-6.

Priel thinks participating in that tournament would be a great experience for his players but, for now, trying to secure home ice advantage in the playoffs is a top priority.

The Vipers hit the highway to take on the Weyburn Crescent Point Wings on January 18 and the Estevan TS&M Bruins the following day before returning home to play the Melville Millionaires January 24. Game time at the Legends Centre in Warman is 8:15 p.m.

VCA storms back to win gold in Blast-off tournament

The Valley Christian Academy (VCA) Lions girls basketball team staged a dramatic comeback to capture the gold medal at the annual Blast-Off junior basketball tournament at Warman High School last weekend.

The Melfort Comets won the took the gold medal on the boys side.

The action was non-stop as Warman High School hosted teams from across the province in their Annual Blast-off Junior Boys and Girls Basketball

Tournament on Friday, January 10 and Saturday, January 11.

The girls teams included the Warman Wolverines, Langham Vikings, Martensville Royals, VCA Lions, Melfort Comets, Wynyard Bears, and two teams from Lloydminister: the Bishop Lloyd Lancers, E.S. Laird Sabres. The boys teams included the Warman Wolverines, Osler Monarchs, Dalmeny Cougars, VCA Lions, Langham Vikings, Melfort Comets, Bishop Lloyd Lancers and E.S. Laird Sabres.

On the boys side the Melfort Comets took the championship

with hard-fought wins over VCA and Dalmeny, before beating E.S. Laird 28-15 in the final.

Melfort was looking for a sweep as the Comet girls faced the VCA Lions in the girls final. For the first three quarters Melfort dominated the game to build a 28-13 lead. The Lions then had a comeback for the ages. The defence held Melfort to only 2 points while scoring 19 points. The Lions were led by tournament MVP, Adrian Laskowski, who scored 12 of her team leading 17 points in that quarter including a crucial

Warman Wolverines boys coach and tournament co-chair Guy Farquharson said the tournament is one of the highlights of the school year.

“It’s hgh-level competition,” said Farquhason. “This is the sixth year we’ve run a double tournament, and with 16 teams, we’re maxed out. We could go to the Legends Centre and double in size, there is plenty of demand, but we wouldn’t have enough refs and volunteers to make it feasible.”

Wolverines wrap up football season

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Wolverines finished among the top four 9-man high school football teams in the province this season, thanks to the efforts of a good crop of graduating players, according to Wolverines head coach Tyler Scheidt.

Grade 12 players Anthony Hallborg, Simon Epp, Jacob Passer, Mankomal Gill, Jeremy Chaskavich, Tyler Szachlewicz, and Jaeden White-Laroque were honoured at the Wolverines annual awards banquet in Warman on Wednesday, December 11.

Individual awards were handed out to: Mankomal Gill (Wolverine Heart); Josh Misskey (Offensive Player of the Year); Jacob Passer (Lineman of the Year); Simon Epp (Special Teams Player of the Year); Micah Heide (Defensive Player of the Year); Tyler Szachlewicz (Most Improved Player); Braeden Wiebe (Terry Stanviloff Scratch and Claw award);

Brandon McKimmon (Most Oustanding Rookie).

The Warman Football Association presented “Pay It Forward” awards to several athletes for their efforts in helping coach the youngsters in the Warman minor football teams.

Among those honoured were Simon Epp, Jaeden White-Laroque, Dominic Froese, Jesse Ens and Tyler Szachlewicz.

Scheidt said the Warman high school football program relies heavily on parents, volunteers and coaches to make it work, and the success of the past couple of years is a testament to the dedication of the players and the volunteers.

“The parents deserve a huge round of thanks,” said Scheidt.

“As coaches we’re fortunate to spend the time we have with these young athletes. You’ve raised great young men. It takes a lot of commitment to be on a team like this, and the support of the families is really important.”

Scheidt said some of the Grade 12 players who emerged as stars on the team were ones he wouldn’t have pegged as athletes when they first came on the team in their Grade 9 year.

Hard work, dedication in high school pays off for first-year Roughrider he had going for him was determination.

“I don’t think Simon (Epp) weighed 100 pounds,” said Scheidt. “But this year, he was a huge part of our team. He made a big difference on the field and he’ll be hard to replace.”

Anthony Hallborg would have made a great quarterback, except that he was too good at all the other positions, said Scheidt.

Scheidt said Mankomal Gill deserved the “Wolverine Heart” award because he was the guy who always went the extra mile for others without looking for recognition. That applied both on and off the field, he said.

“Mankomal missed one practice because he was taking volunteer training at a hospital,” said Scheidt. “We still benched him, because that’s the rule if you miss a practice, but boy, you have to give a kid like that credit for always helping others.

He was our best fundraiser, and he always donated all his proceeds to a charity or to a deserving cause.”

Pick up the pace! A phone call settles a matter.

Listen to both before you make a decision. A coworker pushes the envelope one too many times.

An old chum is at a crossroads. Be there for them, Taurus, but watch your step. It is their life, not yours. Motivation at work comes from an unlikely source.

Local athletes among finalists for Sask. Sport awards

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Sask. Sport Inc. has announced the 2013 Athlete of the Year finalists for the Saskatchewan Sport Awards.

Every year the provincial governing body recognizes individual athletes and teams for their outstanding contributions and achievements in amateur sport by awarding the Athlete of the Year Awards.

According to Sask. Sport Inc., three finalists are chosen in the Master, Youth Male, Youth Female, Male, Female and Team categories. Altogether, there are 14 finalists – including three teams – vying to win the award in their respective categories.

It will be the second time Martensville track and field athlete Ted Rowan was selected to be a finalist in the Master’s category. It is an honour he takes in stride.

“I am just happy to be nominated. It gives you a point of conversation with your friends. It is just fun to be involved with it.”

Rowan’s record setting accomplishments speak for themselves. He has set Canadian Masters record in the men’s 8084 age class pentathlon, 200m and long jump. He has also set Saskatchewan athletics records for the pentathlon, 200m, 1,500m, long jump, discus and javelin at the Canadian Masters Championships.

At the international level,

Rowan has set Saskatchewan athletics records for the 100m and high jump at the Huntsman World Senior Games. If that wasn’t impressive enough, he has also won gold medals in the long jump and triple jump at the Saskatchewan Senior and Masters Championships/Canada Game Trials and placed first in the 50m and 100m at the Saskatchewan Open Championship Trials.

His accomplishments are pretty significant for an athlete that first became involved in track and field at age 70.

“If you don’t have an interest in something when you get to my age, I would think life would be kind of boring,” Rowan explained, noting it’s a simple love of sport that motivates him. “I can’t wait to get up in the morning. I train for a couple of hours and I feel good doing it.”

Rowan’s basement is set up like a gymnasium with treadmills, a high jump, hurdles and areas to allow for stretching, jogging and calisthenics.

Outside his home are many of the same apparatuses with the addition of a long jump and pole vault pit.

This set up allows him to train alone or go to the Saskatoon Field House when he wants to train with a group.

Boxing was the sport Rowan cut his teeth on. In his younger years, from about the age of 14 to 21, he participated in 58 amateur fights and managed boxing clubs.

On a yearly basis Rowan said he competes in a handful of outdoor and indoor track competitions – the number depends on his health. He is recovering from recent cataract surgery but said that won’t stop him from training to qualify for the Canadian Masters Championships this summer.

Another athlete up for the the Masters category award is Delisle golfer Colin Coben.

Coben’s accomplishments include tying for 13th place out of a field of 144 at the Canadian Men’s Senior Golf Championship last year, tying for 67th out of 144 at the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship and tying for third at the Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur Championship.

Cohen also won the Saskatchewan Senior Men’s Championship title and won all four events played on the Saskatchewan Senior Men’s Order of Merit Tour.

Coben, who has been playing golf since he was seven, said the game was so entrenched in his family he couldn’t imagine not playing it.

“My parents played golf and we had a nine-hole sand golf course in Delisle that we called the dusty nine,” he said. “My parents were also members of the golf club in Saskatoon and I used to go in there and caddy.

It’s always been a part of my life.”

Coben said he is proud of his accomplishments, but wished he had the opportunity to go

Sr. Wildcats pick up first win of season

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Better late than never.

The Warman Wildcats finally ended their season-long losing skid with a 7-4 win over the visiting Tisdale Ramblers in Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) action on Saturday, January 11 at the Legends Centre in Warman.

It’s been a rough ride for the Wildcats, who have had more than their share of injuries since the beginning of the season. Prior to this win, the team’s only point in the standings came from a 3-2 overtime loss to Bruno back on November 22.

“It’s a big monkey off our backs, absolutely,” said Wildcats’ captain Jordon Nyssen after the game. “It just feels good to finally get a win, because the guys have worked hard all year and haven’t given up, and this time it finally paid off.”

Doug Harms, one of the longest-serving veterans on the

team, agreed. “It’s a relief,” he said. “We knew we had to play 60 minutes. It makes a difference if you play a full game.

Plus we had a short bench, so the guys are in the game quicker and more often. It’s a tough league, and you need to get wins against the weaker teams, and we did that tonight.”

Tisdale’s Brendan Turner, who scored all four goals for the visitors, put the Ramblers out in front early in the first period, but Warman’s Evan Lloyd got the equalizer midway through the frame and Kazz Ito scored a highlight-reel marker with a coast-to-coast rush and a nifty wrist shot that gave the Wildcats a 2-1 lead heading into the first intermission.

In the second period, the Wildcats exploded for four goals. Tim Thiessen scored a pair, while Brett Hesterman and Shadow Reddekopp added singles.

But even a 6-1 lead wasn’t safe, as Tisdale scored 3 quick

goals early in the third period to make things exciting.

Tyson Crookedneck’s goal midway through the final frame gave the Wildcats a little more breathing room, but a succession of Warman penalties in the final few minutes made things tense at times before the final buzzer.

Goaltender Brennan Kirkness played a stellar game for Warman, facing 41 shots altogether. Tanner Hamilton in the Tisdale net had to contend with 26 shots from the Wildcats.

Warman’s next game is in Dalmeny against the Fury on Friday, January 17 at 8:30 p.m.

The Wildcats’ next home game is Saturday, January 18 when they host the Prairie Outlaws at 8:00 at the Legends Centre.

On Tuesday, January 21, the Wildcats are in Hague to play the Royals at 8:30 p.m.

The Wildcats’ final regular season home game is Friday, January 31 against the Dalmeny Fury.

Panthers hand out football awards The Hague Panthers 6-man football team had an extremely successful season, according to the team’s head coach, Clay Kirby.

At the team’s recent awards banquet, Kirby said the Grade 9/10 team dominated everyone they played. “I look forward to coaching them in the future,” said Kirby.

“The Senior team had a solid regular season and won their league play–off game,” he noted. “In the provincial quarter-final playoff game they gave Kelliher/Ituna a run for their money but were defeated in a close game. Kelliher/Ituna went on to win the provincial championship.

“On behalf of Panthers Assistant Coach Tom Mufford, I want to say the boys were a pleasure to coach and the returning players are ready for next year.”

Kirby said the team’s only two graduating players (Luke Guenter and Adam Friesen) had outstanding seasons and they provided excellent leadership.

They had a solid supporting class, led by Austin Thiessen, Brent Fehr, and Kevin Loewen.

“In total, we have 18 returning players that are looking forward to proving themselves next year,” said Kirby.

The award winners at the banquet were: PJ Mufford Award: Brent Gossen Most Outstanding Player: Adam Friesen Mr. Panther Award: Luke Guenter Lineman of the Year: Kevin Loewen Most Improved Player: Brady Unger Best Defensive Player: Brent Fehr Best Offensive Player: Austin Thiessen Most Valuable Player: Luke Guenter & Adam Friesen

professional in his younger years. He said he didn’t even know he had been nominated for the Sask. Sport award until he read it in a newspaper.

Coben was inducted into the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame in 2012 and in 2013 was named the province’s male golfer of the year.

“I have loved golf, been very competitive in the game for many years. It’s special to get recognized for your accomplishments,” Coben added.

Asquith fencing athlete Kirsten Van Marion was cho-

sen as finalist in the youth female category.

Van Marion won bronze for Cadet Women’s Épée at the (U15) at the Canadian Nationals and for Team Épée at the Canada Games. She also won gold and bronze at the Canadian Western Championships and captured two gold medals and a bronze at the Provincials in Saskatchewan.

Van Marion said being a finalist for Athlete of the Year in the youth category was a surprise.

“I was really not expecting this. I didn’t even know there

was such an award.”

Fencing for nine years at the Asquith Fencing Club, she said the sport suits her per personality.

“It is a challenging sport and it involves more strategy, which I find entertaining,” said Van Marion. “It’s like running a 100 metre dash while playing chess.”

Van Marion fell just shy of heading to a Pan American Games qualifying match in Europe this past weekend in Dallas, Texas.

“I just missed out. I didn’t end up getting a high enough re-

sult for enough points and was ranked one spot below the cut off to go.”

One of Van Marion’s proudest accomplishments was winning bronze at the Canada Games.

“It wasn’t the most difficult competition but it had the most hype leading up to it. It was more exciting to get a medal there than other tournaments.”

The online voting process to determine winners in each category ends January 17 with the results being announced by Sask. Sport later this month.

Ashlee TondreauUrquhart

PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY MATT SMITH

Jason Kroeker

Athletes of the Month The Bethany Eagles season is in full swing for our Hockey, Basketball, and Indoor Soccer teams.

While these teams are past the midpoint of their seasons, November saw the end of the volleyball seasons. Both the men’s and women’s teams competed in the Prairie Athletics Conference.

Winning the league championships last season, the women’s team attempted to defend their title.

Though playing well they were not quite able to pull it off, finishing third behind Kelsey (Saskatoon) and Ambrose (Calgary).

The men were also hopeful but did not manage to fulfill their goals. They were unable to play with consistency and finished last in their division. With several players planning to return next year, new goals will be set with a hope for better results.

First year student, Jason Kroeker is an outstanding player for both our soccer and basketball teams and has earned recognition as November’s Athlete of the Month. He is in contention for the scoring lead for both teams and is a threat to score every time he has the ball. He has a good sense of the games and is difficult to defend as he moves towards the goal.

On the women’s side of our Athletics Program we are honoured to announce Ashlee Tondreau-Urquhart as Athlete of the Month. She has led the Indoor Soccer team in scoring during the regular season so far and is continually looking for ways to improve her game.

Tondreau-Urquhart has played many years of outdoor soccer but playing indoor boarded soccer is something new for her. She has made the difficult transition to the quicker game with relative ease and is a pleasure to watch as she often controls the game from her forward position. While continuing to understand her role better, she has been able to strengthen her play with scoring and setting up others with great passing.

Construction crews have been busy through the winter preparing the ground for Martensville’s new Lake Vista neighbourhood, a project by North Ridge Development, on the eastern edge of that city. Lake Vista is North Ridge’s newest neighbourhood in Martensville. Bordered on the west by 10th Avenue North and on the south

by Main Street, the new development will be built in six phases. Each of these phases will contain a variety of

housing types, ranging from single-family units, walk-out units to multi-family residences. The Lake Vista neighbourhood encourages community, recreation and environmental stewardship through the green space design. Appreciation for nature, health and neighbourhood interaction is enforced throughout the entire community. The area incorporates an open space system with parks, ponds, linear parks and pathways that promotes an active, welcoming and community-based neighbourhood.

Martensville negotiating land sale as part of growth plan

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A letter of understanding (LOU )has been signed between the City of Martensville and the owners of a parcel of land on the city’s eastern edge. The LOU outlines the terms under which negotiations will proceed for the sale of about 250 acres of land.

Both parties have agreed to complete and execute a binding purchase and sale agreement wthin 90 days of the signing of the LOU. The LOU was signed on Thursday, January 9 by Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and City Manager Scott Blevins at a special meeting of council.

The landowners, Edmund and

Charlotte Ens, signed the LOU later that evening.

The land is currently located in the RM of Corman Park, but falls within the City of Martensville’s Future Growth Area 1.

The LOU states the city agrees to purchase the land for $20,000 per acre, with the total price amounting to just under $5 million.

The LOU singles out the heritage value of the existing farm yard-site on the property, which has been in the sellers’ family for several generations. The city has agreed to protect the yardsite by incorporating it into a park setting with a commemorative dedication to recognize its historical significance. The yard-site will not be developed

Provincial job creation numbers increased in 2013 The final job numbers for 2013 released on Friday, January 10 show that Saskatchewan created more than 18,000 jobs in 2013, the highest created in a one year period since the survey started in 1976.

“This is truly an important economic milestone – more jobs created in the province than ever before,” Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillan said. “With more than 18,000 people working in Saskatchewan in 2013 than there were in 2012, it shows we have an economy that is both broad

based and dynamic.”

In December 2013, Saskatchewan had the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 3.9 per cent, down from 4.1 per cent in November. Nationally, the unemployment rate was 7.2 per cent in December.

“Saskatchewan had the lowest unemployment rate in the country for the entire year,” McMillan said. “Last year was simply an exceptional year, and we are confident that in 2014 we’ll continue to see strong job growth, robust population growth as well as continued in-

vestment in our diverse and strong economy.”

Other highlights include: Compared to December 2012, full-time employment increased by 8,100 and part-time increased by 5,800.

Youth employment up by 1,200 (1.5 per cent) compared to December 2012 Compared to December 2012, Regina’s employment was up by 4,500 (3.5 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 12,100 (8.0 per cent).

Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 3,000 (7.5

per cent) compared to December 2012 for 11 consecutive months of year-over-year increases. Aboriginal youth employment was up by 1,000 (11.9 per cent) to 9,400 for seven consecutive months of year-overyear increases.

Regina and Saskatoon’s unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent, the lowest unemployment rate among major cities.

Youth unemployment rate was 6.6 per cent, lowest among the provinces, and well below the national rate of 14.0 per cent.

into commercial or residential property.

The LOU allows the City of Martensville to conduct geotechnical tests and planning surveys over the course of the next three months prior to a final agreement. It also gives the city the right of first refusal to purchase an additional adjacent quarter section and stipulates

certain other conditions on the additional parcel.

The LOU allows the sellers to continue living in their home for a maximum of five years following the completion of the final agreement of sale.

If a binding purchase and sale agreement is not completed within the next 90 days, the LOU becomes null and void.

Building permits increase province-wide There were $235 million in building permits issued in Saskatchewan in November 2013, up 16.7 per cent from last November. Saskatchewan had the third highest percentage increase amongst the provinces.

“The rise in building permits on an annual basis for the month of November was good news for construction companies and the workers they employ,” Energy and Re-

sources Minister Tim McMillan said.

Non-residential permits were up 128.4 per cent on a year-over-year basis.

“Many Saskatchewan cities are reporting record or close to record building permits in 2013,” McMillan said.

“Growth at this level is important to keep the economic momentum moving forward which will make 2014 another great year.”

Blues festival sure to heat up those winter evenings The Saskatoon Blues Society invites you to take a winter break without even leaving town!! Tour the hot blues scene right in your own back yard!! From Feb. 24 – Mar.2/14 – the Saskatoon Blues Festival will be bringing to all of the Saskatchewan blues music lovers - the best ‘Blues Winter Getaway’ in the Great White North. In two prime event centers in downtown Saskatoon, the opportunity to experience a wide variety of blues music is here at your doorstep.

Tommy Castro and the Painkillers will be headlining the PotashCorp Electric Cabaret at O’Brians Event Centre on Fri. Feb 28th with their signature brand of tough, rocking rhythm and blues. The band’s Memphis sound is always soul-satisfying to even the savviest blues connoisseur.

And if you thought you had already won the lottery with Mr. Castro – consider yourself a double winner now because with a single ticket to Friday night’s PotashCorp Elec-

tric Cabaret you also get Lucky Peterson to finish the night off. Lucky hails from Dallas, Texas and performs all over the world. He recorded his first album at the age of five and has appeared on The Tonight Show. A searing lead guitarist, fantastic organist and first-rate vocalist, Lucky’s many talents are truly mindboggling. It would be a bad bet to miss his performance.

The Saskatoon Blues Festival is so much more than professional performances on stage. Other aspects

of the festival are vital to our mission. One such aspect is our Blues Camp sponsored by Cameco Corp.

The Saskatoon Blues Society invites by application budding blues artists to participate in our program. The theme this year is ‘There Ain’t No Bullies in the Blues’. The young musicians will be participating in musical education supplied by members of up and coming local band Apollo Cruz as well as our local and successfully established Josh Palmer.

Check the website to find out where

the Blues Camp participants will be culminating the week with a great performance.

The Saskatoon Blues Society promotes, fosters and celebrates blues music in Saskatoon. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the blues.
