roofless homeless but not

Hopeless A registered nurse from Warman is part of a medical mission in the Philippines

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Several months after a devastating typhoon levelled their homes, residents of Tacloban City in the Philippines are picking up the pieces of their shattered lives and bravely looking to the future.

Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Typhoon Yolanda) slammed into the Philippines on November 8, 2013; killing more than 6,000 people and leaving countless thousands of homeless and injured victims in its wake.

Tacloban City, on the west coast of the island of Leyte, was one of the hardest-hit areas. News reports in the immediate aftermath of the typhoon described it as a “dead city.”

But Tacloban residents are very much alive and committed to rebuilding their city and their country, according to Jolene Wiebe, a Registered Nurse from Warman who is currently volunteering as part of a medical mission sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief organization.

“They have such an amazing, resilient outlook,” said Wiebe in an email from the hospital in Tacloban where she is working on a monthlong tour of duty with the relief organization. “They are joyful despite the circumstances, and are thankful.

“I’ve learned so much from the Filipino people already, she continued. “A local sign posted said: ‘We

are roofless, we are homeless, but we are not hopeless.” A pastor at church this morning said “We did not invite Yolanda, but Yolanda invited all nations to come and help us. We thank God for that.” Each person’s story I’ve heard is so heartbreaking and yet their courage amazes me.”

Wiebe left Canada for the Philippines on January 7, and is due to return on February 8. She is part of a nine-person medical team which includes doctors and nurses, working alongside the staff at a storm-dam-

aged hospital in Tacloban to provide emergency health care to the community.

The medical personnel are part of a “multi-dimensional” effort that also includes “a shelter team, water and sanitation hygiene team, distribution team (food and non-food items), nutrition team, logistics and communications team. Wiebe said the thirty people attached to the volunteer mission are currently living in a hotel with a generator for electricity, food, water and an internet

connection.

Wiebe is a resident of Warman and works at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. She volunteered for the medical mission in order to put her skills to humanitarian use.

“Why did I come to the Philippines? It’s because of my faith,” said Wiebe in her e-mail. “I want to follow Christ’s example of by using the skills He’s given me to help those in need. Samaritan’s Purse sums it up perfect: After sharing the story of the good Samaritan, Jesus said: go

and do likewise. That is the mission of Samaritan’s Purse – to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.”

Wiebe said her team is assisting at a local hospital called the Schistosomiasis Control and Research Hospital. The hospital suffered severe damage as a result of the typhoon.

“The roof was blown off the second floor of the hospital, resulting in patients being moved to the first floor,” said Wiebe. “That led to crowding in the pediatric and outpatient areas.”

She said Samaritan’s Purse volunteers set up tents outside the hospital to provide space for an outpatient clinic and pediatric treatment ward.

While conditions are bad at the hospital, they’re many times worse in remote areas outside the city.

Wiebe is also serving as part of a mobile medical team that is taking health care to isolated areas.

MEASLES ON THE RISE

According to Samaritan’s Purse Canada Communications Manager Frank King, based in Calgary, the organization’s medical teams have treated over 3,700 people in the Philippines, and provided vaccinations against measles and polio, two diseases which are surfacing in the devPHOTO SUBMITTED BY JOLENE WIEBE | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Woman seriously injured in early morning collision on Highway 11

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries following a collision on Highway 11 and Township Road 381 early Thursday morning.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE

According to Warman RCMP Sgt. Mark Ochitwa, the collision occurred at about 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 16 when a westbound 2005 Saturn sedan travelling on Township Road 381 entered the northbound lanes of Highway 11, where it was T-boned by a northbound Corman Park Police Service Ford SUV. The 21-year-old woman driving the Saturn suffered serious injuries, and was trapped inside the vehicle. She was treated on scene by Warman First Responders and MD Ambulance paramedics, while the

First Responders used extrication equipment to remove the roof of the vehicle to free the trapped woman.

It took about 30 minutes to remove the patient from the wreckage and get her into a waiting ambulance, where she was rushed to Royal University Hospital.

RCMP forensic collision analysts were on scene to determine the exact cause of the collision. The investigation is ongoing.

Saskatoon Police Services used a flying drone to capture aerial photos of the crash scene.

The entrance to the intersection was icy at the time of the incident, which occurred just before sunrise.

The Corman Park Police officer involved in the crash was on duty at the time but was not responding to a call, and was travelling at the speed limit in the right-hand lane.

A second northbound SUV driven by a home-care nurse on her way to work in Osler was in the left-hand lane a short dis-

tance behind. Both northbound vehicles took evasive action to avoid the collision. The Corman Park Police officer, a veteran of many years of police service, said the westbound car pulled out right in front of him and he wasn’t able to stop in time.

The Corman Park Police officer immediately called 911 after stopping his vehicle and rendered first aid to the woman trapped in the Saturn. He was assisted by the home-care nurse in the other vehicle involved in the incident. The Corman Park Police officer did not suffer any apparent injuries, but was later taken to hospital to be checked out.

The northbound lanes of Highway 11 in the area were closed to traffic for aseveral hours while RCMP collision experts conducted their investigation. Northbound raffic on Highway 11 was re-routed from the Wanuskewin Road intersection through the Corman Industrial Park. Saskatoon Police Services also assisted Warman RCMP in traffic control.

SaskWater rates going up Corman Park residents will pay seven per cent more on water bills as rural utilities pass on costs

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

SaskWater is increasing water distribution rates by 7 per cent, effective April 1.

The RM of Corman Park, which has agreements with several rural water utilities, received the notice of the increase from SaskWater at its January 20 meeting.

The rate increase will be passed on to consumers through regular water utility bills, beginning in April.

OLDER POLICE VEHICLE

The Corman Park Police Service will be using an older vehicle until a replacement is purcahsed for the police SUV that was totalled in a recent collision on Highway 11.

At their regular meeting on Monday, January 20, Corman Park councilors expressed sympathy for the young woman who was seriously injured in the collision, which occurred on Thursday, January 16.

The woman remains in Royal University Hospital where she is currently undergoing treatment for her injuries.

Councilors also said they were glad the police constable involved in the collision is back at work with no serious injuries.

The police vehicle involved in the collision was a newlypurchased Ford SUV equippped with state-of-the-art equipment.

It is expected that the RM’s insurance coverage will cover the major portion of the cost of a replacement vehicle. In the meantime, an older unit that had been retired from service has been brought back into the fleet.

CROSSMOUNT VILLAGE

The developer of the proposed Crossmount Village seniors complex south of Saskatoon has been given permission by council to proceed with submitting detailed site plans to the RM. The actual development plans must still be approved by council.

REGIONAL PLANNING

Corman Park councilors are looking to move ahead with regional planning efforts.

A resolution endorsing the Planning For Growth (P4G) committee as the main body for discussons between the RM and neighbouring urban municipalities was passed at the

RM council meeting January 20.

The P4G Group began last year as a coordinating committee made up of administrative planning staff from several municipalities including Corman Park, Warman, Martensville and Saskatoon.

Following the Regional Summit last November, the P4G Group is being bolstered by elected council members from the participating municipalities, as well as representatiives from the Town of Osler.

Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwoood, Councilor John Germs and Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga were chosen to represent the rural municipality at the P4G meeting.

Corman Park Planning Director Rebecca Row is also a representative.

A meeting of the expanded P4G group will take place February 6 in Saskatoon.

rural municipalities.

The RM of Corman Park council voted to begin preparations for the election by naming Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore as the chief returning officer for the election.

Potential polling stations in each division are being lined up for the election. Advance polls will also be held.

Elections for odd-numbered divisions, as well as Reeves, will be held in the fall of 2016.

All councilors are elected for four-year terms of office.

SARM CONVENTION

Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood is seeking a seat on the Board of Directors of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalties (SARM).

Harwood and Division 5 councilor Ken Beauchemin were chosen to serve as delegates to the annauul SARM convention in Regina in midMarch.

MOVING TO 21ST CENTURY

The RM of Corman Park council is moving into the 21st century by adopting the use of iPads as a replacement to hard-copy agendas and briefing notes.

The council voted to purchase 10 iPads in the next few weeks, and to begin utilizing the devices at upcoming council meetings. Other municipal councils, including Martensville and Warman, have successfully made the transition to Ipads.

Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask noted the iPads will result in a considerable saving to ratepayers.

“Over the course of a year, the cost of usig iPads is about half the cost of all that paper,” said Trask.

Council is expected to have a transition period while the new devices are phased in and councilors learn how to use them.

Backbenchers must better define their role

Are we raising a generation of corporate brats?

There may be something worse than a backbencher who is not sure he or she has a role in a government caucus.

By ERIKA SHAKER

Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives

COMMENTARY

When it comes to parenting, everyone’s an expert. And society loves to jump all over the latest media-feted example of overly indulgent parenting of kids of all ages—from toddlers to millennials.

Sure, all parents make mistakes, and all kids have meltdowns (some of which might have, admittedly, been handled better).

But it seems to me that even the worst examples of permissive parenting pale in comparison to the way politicians and pundits coddle, make excuses, and encourage double standards for questionable (even deplorable) behaviour from corporations and their representatives.

And perhaps it’s the post-holiday sugar-and-excessive-consumerism hangover talking, but I’m tired of being held hostage by self-indulgent, narcissistic tyrants, whose endless “gimmes” and “I want that…or elses” seem so utterly pervasive that I feel as though I’m trapped at a Toys “R” Us outlet sale (whereupon, after my third coffee, I discover the washrooms are out of order).

These days it seems the capitulation-impulse is so hair-trigger that often the actual demands (“Cut your salaries in half or I’m running away to Indiana where they just approved Right-to-Work!”) aren’t even necessary. It’s the anticipation of the demands—or fear of the consequences to be suffered if the unvoiced demands aren’t met—that results in a smorgasbord of pre-emptive tax-cut-esque goodies in an attempt to avoid the surely inevitable breath-holding tantrum. (Or reneging on job commitments—am I right, U.S. Steel?)

There’s minimal public sympathy for the enraged and hysterical four-year-old who barricades himself in his room after screaming at his sister to get out so he doesn’t have to return her Lego—feeling pretty confident that their parents will side with him, anyway. But somehow the “grown-up” version of a corporation—let’s call it Canada Post— that locks out its workers and waits for the government to intervene instead of allowing the collective bargaining process to continue is the recipient of benevolent nods from media pundits because “really, what choice did they have?”

And after all the excuses about “shareholder demands” are stripped away, the corporation that socks away all that money from tax breaks instead of investing it in workers or equipment looks an awful lot like that kid who, when asked to play nice, takes her Pokemon cards and stomps home.

Well, if the Pokemon cards were paid for by the public.

And if she had pocketed a few million of them.

And if by “home” she really meant the Caymans.

But it goes beyond capitulation. It’s the excuses or justifications so many of our politicians and pundits make for questionable corporate actions—excuses that are too-often accepted as Just The Way Things Are Because It’s The Free Market, After All.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

It might be those who have become just a little too comfortable with the subordinate role that now so defines what a government backbencher does in our Parliamentary system today.

For all the grief that Melville-born-and-raised Edmonton MP Brent Rathgeber took in 2013 for his less-than-glorious departure from the federal Conservative government caucus, there was something very refreshing about the move.

All too many Conservative government backbenchers – and, frankly, even a number of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet members – behave no better than trained seals barking on command.

Evidently, Rathgeber concluded that there must be more to public life than that.

And maybe it’s a lesson

that Premier Brad Wall’s own Saskatchewan Party backbenchers – who have also developed the belief that they, too, are only there to serve their leader – should also learn.

Of course, like much in our system of Parliamentary democracy, it really didn’t start out this way. It sort of evolved...or perhaps in this case, devolved into the system we have today.

In fact, in the British Parliamentary system from which our Houses in Canada are modelled, the tradition was that it was the caucus who chose the leader.

Today in Canada, it’s the leader who chooses the caucus in that the leader can decide whether or not to sign an MP’s or MLA’s nomination form. And by picking his cabinet, the leader has massive control over a backbencher’s job prospects, leading to a life of political servitude.

Hopefully, Conservative MP Michael Chong’s Reform Act will be passed in some form so that the inequality between elected backbencher and the leader narrows a little.

Even here in Saskatchewan, there was a time in the

not-so-distance past when backbenchers had not only a greater say in political strategy and decision making but also a bigger role in serving their constituents.

Oddly enough, back in the days when being an MLA was not considered a full-time job (the pay back then reflected that reality), the leader was actually more reliant on his backbenchers for both policy and political input.

But MLAs on the ground listening to the people has been replaced by professional hired political staff, polling and focus groups.

And while rural MLAs once had more sway lobbying for schools and hospitals in their ridings or deciding where roads should be built, those decisions have been taken over by professional civil servants or professional political staff far more likely to have the leader’s ear than any single MLA. That has made the fulltime job of modern MLA as something less than a fulfilling job. Rather than being the bosses of the political staff, such MLAs find themselves carrying out the orders of the political staff...even when it’s sometimes to their own detri-

ment.

Such was the case at a recent Saskatchewan legislative public accounts meeting when government MLAs three times rejected motions from NDP Opposition finance critic Trent Wotherspoon to have one set of budgeting books that conform with accounting principles. It was a reasonable request, given the Provincial Auditor’s condemnation that the 201213 books can’t be trusted because it doesn’t reflect the true $580-million deficit that we had.

But to allow even a rather even-handed, non-partisan motion to pass would have been seen – at least by Wall’s political staff – as an indictment of the Sask. Party government.

So rather than do the right thing which would have been to advocate more transparent and honest financial books, the backbenchers on the committee voted down the idea.

What the Premier and his staff wanted was a far bigger priority than what the constituents that elected them might have wanted.

Sadly, all too many backbenchers know their modernday role all too well.

Investing in brainpower should be a national priority The Harper government has only one priority – i.e., slashing the federal budget in every way it can. Such an obsession is counterproductive, especially when economic activity, both domestically and globally, is weak and uncertain.

Yes, after years of reckless Conservative mismanagement (running deficits totaling more than $165-billion), federal debt must be put on a steady downward track. But that’s not the only thing we need.

For example, a more prosperous future will require significant investments in post-secondary education, higher skills, science and innovation – bolstering the quantity and the

Ultimate Cheerleaders put on a gem of a performance

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

Great precision and teamwork were on display as the largest and fastest growing AllStar Cheerleading Club in Saskatchewan, the Warman Ultimate Cheerleading had a chance to showcase their routines for the first time this season in the 2014 Ultimate Gem

Competition held at the Legends Centre gym on Sunday, January 19. Starring in this were the Pearls(5 and under), Rubies(8 and under), Emeralds(11 and under), Elite Opals(11 and under), Amethysts(14 and under), Elite Peridot(18 and under), Sapphires(18 and under), Diamonds(adults), WHS, and Warman High Jr. This event was also a

fundraiser for the Warman Ultimate Elite Peridot team who are planning to travel to major competitions in Baltimore, Maryland and Chicago, Illinios in an attempt to become the first cheer team from Western Canada to receive a Summit Bid(personal invitation) to Orlando, Florida in May 2014.

Warman Ultimate founder and head coach Leslie Ste-

venson summed up the day.

She said “This is a great showcase to fund raise for the Peridot, and to get all the Warman teams out and it is very intimate for grandparents so they don’t have the craziness of a larger competition.”

The approximately 900 spectators ienjoyed an opportunity to see the best of cheerleading and look at future champions.

Business is booming in Warman, and the city is looking to keep that trend going.

A survey commissioned by the City of Warman in partnership with Community Futures MidSask and the Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA) shows that 78 per cent of businesses in the community are experiencing increased sales.

A further 16 per cent of businesses responding to the “Business Counts” survey reported stable sales. Businesses also indicated they are continually investing in their facilities and equipment.

The survey, conducted last fall over a period of three months by Jensen Consulting Group, an independent consulting firm, was aimed at gathering feedback from local businesses on the overall business climate in Warman. A total of 50 businesses, half of which have been established for 10 years or more, were interviewed between September and November 2013.

These 50 businessescollectively employ 590 people in Warman. Thirty-one of those businesses indicated they expected to employ additional people within the next three years.

An additional 115 jobs were anticipated. The vast majority (98%) of Warman businesses said they source their workers from the local area.

Forty-two per cent of the businesses participating in the survey indicated they plan to expand in the next three years.

Most establishments (68%) rated the business climate in Warman as “good”, noting access to markets and suppliers was an advantage. The businesses were also happy with cultural and recreational amenities in the city, and indicated the local tax structure and development approval process was good.

Overall, according to the report’s findings, “the majority of businesses commented on Warman’s positive business environment” which they said were due to “population growth, continued community development and strong community support for local businesses.”

The report contained a number of recommendations to improve the business climate, including overcoming periodic power failure issues, transportation and infrastructure improvements, and implementing a communications and marketing plan for the city.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said she found the survey results “encouraging” and noted the city has earmarked business retention and expansion as a prirority. She pointed to recent announcements by major corporations which are moving to, or expanding within, Warman as evidence of continued confidence in the city’s future growth.

Martensville Winter FunFest promises a wealth of outdoor family activities

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Saskatchewan people have a reputation for being hardy, and the Martensville Winter FunFest on Saturday, February 1, offers a great opportunity for folks to shake off cabin fever and embrace the great outdoors.

“We’re hoping for good weather,” said Angela Reddekopp, program coordinator with the City of Martensville Recreation and Community Services department. “We have a lot of different activities, both indoors and outdoors, and it’s something the whole family can enjoy together.”

The event takes place at the North Ridge Community centre and Kinsmen Park, beginning at 1:00 pm and finishing up with a fireworks dis-

play and indoor movie night in the hall. The event is free, but people are asked to make a donation to Martensville KidSport, said Reddekopp.

The outdoor ponds in Kinsmen Park will be cleaned off for the event, with several areas set up for different activities, including “coffee can curling”, shinny, skating and even ‘catch and release’ ice fishing.

“We tried to have ice fishing last year during the carnival, but unfortunately there were no fish in the pond last winter,” said Reddekopp.

“Indications are that there are some fish in the pond ths year, so we’ll go out in the next few weeks and see if we can hook a few. The fish are perch, and they’re quite small, so it’s just ‘catch and release’ fishing. It’s all for fun. Nobody’s go-

ing to get much of a meal from these little guys anyway.”

Reddekopp said the objective is to encourage people to try something different. “Ice fishing is a cultural thing in Saskatchewan, but a lot of urban people have never tried it,” she said. “As the city grows, we are hoping to bring in a few oldfashioned things for people to try.”

Another family favourite is the horse-drawn sleigh ride, said Reddekopp. “We’ll also have nail pounding, snowball throwing and a snow-pitch tournament at the ball diamonds. We’ll have a campfire going all day so people can roast hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire, and then in the evening we’ll light the bonfire of Christmas trees before finishing off with a fire-

works show.”

The parks department has also set up a winter disc golf course to promote the sport. “It’s a new event that’s aimed at highlighting the disc golf course we put in place last summer in the park,” said Reddekopp. “The snow adds a bit of a twist to it. We flattened the snow on the course, and the discs will have a piece of yarn attached so that if they end up buried in the snow you’ll be able to find them again.”

There’s also plenty of activities indoors at the North Ridge centre, she noted. “We’ll have bouncy castles, face painting, an I-Spy game and fish ponds for the kids,” she said. “We also have Beeper the Clown coming out to do two shows.”

“It’s going to be an adventure,” she said.

Calls to Warman Fire Dept. increase sharply

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Fire Department has seen an 80 per cent increase in call volumes for fire and medical emergencies over the past three years, according to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin.

“The biggest increase has been in medical calls,” Austin said in his report to Warman City Council on Monday, January 13. “We responded to a total of 277 calls in 2013. We average one call per day, and so far in 2014 we’ve responded to 18 calls, so we’re on pace again this year to meet or exceed that number.”

Austin said the fire department responded to 111 fire and rescue calls in 2013. Thirty-six of those incidents, he said, were motor vehicle collisions. The vast majority of those – a total of 23 collisions – were on Highway 11 between Saskatoon and

Warman.

Austin said 98 per cent of the regular medical calls are within Warman city limits.

Fire calls, on the other hand, often mean firefighters leave town to battle blazes in the RM of Corman Park or assist other communities through the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA) mutual cooperation agreement.

Austin said the Warman Fire Department’s radio equipment is in dire need of upgrading. “We currently use a radio frequency on the Strawberry Hills repeater across the river,” he said. “We also have access to a sub-frequency on the Can-Oat Milling Site, but it’s in even worse shape. It will be refurbished at the expense of the NCPFCA so service should improve, but it will be used by all departments and could be tied up in a major incident.”

FACTS & FICTION What you don’t know about influenza can hurt you, warns SHR flu clinic official

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

When it comes to getting a flu shot there seems to be a lot of misinformation that may prevent people from receiving a beneficial procedure, says Karen Grauer, manager of disease control for the Saskatoon Health Region.

Grauer, who oversaw an immunization clinic at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Saskatoon, January 16, says she has heard a lot of ‘old wives tales’ about getting vaccinated, which are simply not true.

“We know from literature that some people don’t believe in getting a flu shot because they had the flu before and were able to fight it off so they don’t need the vaccine,” she said. “ There are other people who are skeptical to the vaccine because they think there are things in the vaccine that may harm them” The truth is flu strains change from year to year, explains Grauer.

“This year the most common flu strains are H1N1, H3N2, and also Influenza B, which we haven’t had any case of yet,” said Grauer. “Most of the cases we are seeing is a combination between H1N1 and H3N2. ” Grauer said the vaccine stimulates the immune system to create antibodies in the event that somebody is exposed to the live virus.

“If someone does get a flu shot and still gets sick with the flu, it might be a case where the flu was already present,” says

Grauer. “When a person receives a flu shot it usually take two weeks before the antibodies from the vaccine can provide full protection.”

Another misconception is that the drug used for the flu shot contains dangerous amounts of mercury. Grauer notes that the trace amounts of mercury is very small, it does not build up in the body and is much less toxic than other forms of mercury.

The mercury is contained in a preservative in the vaccine.

Grauer stressed that every vaccine is safety tested by the manufacturer and Health Canada.”

The sad thing about immunization myths is that they can border on the ridiculous.

According to an article written by Dr Rachael Dunlop, medical researcher, science communicator and campaigner for Science-Based Medicine in Australia. Dunlop previously wrote an article debunking vaccination myths for Mamamia, a women’s health website.

On the site she listed myths, which suggested vaccination caused autism and that vaccines can overwhelm the undeveloped immune system in kids’ healthy bodies. Both are untrue.

Grauer said even though myths often cloud truth from fiction, websites such as the Ministry of Health and Flu Watch are full of factual information people can research if they have any questions about immunization.

Additional flu clinics slated The Saskatoon Health Region has received 15,000 doses of FluMist vaccine from the Ministry of Health and has scheduled a series of public clinics.

FluMist is a vaccine sprayed into the nostrils. It can be given to eligible people between two years and 59 years of age. Children six to 23 months of age, pregnant women and immunocompromised persons will receive injectable vaccine. Injectable vaccine is also available to people aged 60 years and older, supplies permitting. Both forms of influenza vaccine are available at the following clinics in

Saskatoon: Saturday, January 25, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Prairieland Park Hall A and, Tuesday, January 28, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Cosmo Civic Centre - 3130 Laurier Drive Flu shots are available in Rosthern: phone 1-877-757-4358 to book an appointment.

Appointments can be arranged through the flu line by calling 306-655-4358 or 1-877-7574358. Influenza vaccine is available from the physician offices listed at www.4flu.ca beginning January 22.

They might look like twins at first glance, but 19-month-old Rowan Hyde (left) and 19-month-old Anthony Morphy are not even related. The two Martensville youngsters, born only three days apart, are best of friends.

They met when they were one month old at the Baby Babble session at

the Martensviille Access Centre, and graduated later to be classmates at the Toddler Talk sessions. Their parents, Erin and Erik Hyde of Martensville, and Lori and Jody Morphy of Martensville, say the two youngsters get along famously.

Measles originating in Philippines prompts advisory Health officials have received confirmation of measles in an unimmunized infant who travelled by air to Saskatchewan in early January.

The infant’s family flew from the Philippines to Vancouver on January 2, 2014, and then to Calgary and Regina on January 7. Passengers who were on the same flights as the family may have been exposed to measles. (See flight list below.)

Those who develop symptoms are encouraged to call their health provider to seek immediate medical advice, particular-

ly if they have not been immunized.

“Measles cases are quite uncommon in Saskatchewan, but this situation underscores the importance of vaccinations,” Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Denise Werker said.

“The risk of exposure to highly contagious diseases can be particularly high during busy travel seasons, for people travelling within Canada as well as to and from countries experiencing measles outbreaks.”

All travellers could unknowingly be exposed to people with

measles. Measles occurs more frequently in countries outside of the Americas. There are large outbreaks occurring in the Netherlands and the Philippines. Parents with infants six to 12 months of age should consider having these infants vaccinated prior to travel. Two doses of measles vaccine are required for maximum protection. Measles vaccination is usually offered in combination with mumps and rubella in one vaccine at 12 months and again at 18 months.

For information on measles

symptoms, treatment and vaccination, call HealthLine at 811, or visit www.saskatchewan.ca/ live/health-and-healthy-living/ prevention-and-treatment/measles. Travellers are advised to check their immunization records to ensure measles vaccinations are up to date.

Artists look forward to blues festival

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Saskatoon is getting ready to showcase the province’s diverse musical talent when it hosts the Saskatoon Blues Festival, February 24 to March 2.

The festival will take place at various clubs, bars and coffee shops around the city , all of which were familiar stomping grounds for Saskatoon singer Suzie Vinnick.

Vinnick, who describes herself as a roots and traditional musician, characterizes the blues as a genre of music that touched her soul at a young age.

“I played my first live show at the age of 15 and I got my first exposure to the blues at Buds on Broadway,” said Vinnnick in an interview. “The bar had a jam session every Saturday. As an aspiring musician the jam was the only place I could go and play music legally - being an underage musician” Vinnick left Saskatchewan in 1991 for Toronto, then Ottawa, and now resides in the Niagara region of Ontario.

Since that time she has garnered wide acclaim in the blues scene, playing in venues all over Canada, Europe and the United States.

She is a three-time Juno nominee, a ten times Maple

Blues Award Winner and was a finalist in the 2013 International Blues Challenge Solo/Duo Category in Memphis, TN. Despite her soaring career, Vinnick says she always makes time to play at home.

“After playing across Canada I feel like I have a bunch of homes. I feel fortunate to travel and share my music, but it’s always nice to come home to Saskatoon,” she said.

Vinnick said she will be playing music from her latest two albums, Live at Bluesville and Me and Mable, and maybe some new material for a new album she hopes to record this year.

DELISLE BLUESMAN A musician making his debut at the festival this year is blues guitarist Neil Roston.

Originally from Sydney, Nova Scotia but now residing in Delisle, Roston is looking forward to bending his strings like his idol Stevie Ray Vaughn, playing some original compositions and rubbing shoulders with talented blues musicians in Saskatoon.

Growing up in a guitar playing family with a bother, father and uncles that all played guitar it only seemed natural that Roston would pick up the instrument.

In his 20s, Roston began

Suzie Vinnick is a featured artist at the Saskatoon Blues Festival this year playing rock and heavy metal music in Saskatoon, but the first time he heard of Stevie Ray Vaughn, he never looked back.

“Playing the blues ignited a feeling in me that I never got from other styles of music,” said Roston. “The first time I started playing blues music I got goose bumps.”

King said the organization expects to have emergency teams in the Philippines “for the balance of 2014”, adding the extent of the devastation is unimaginable. He noted Samaritan’s Purse has been active in relief efforts in Haiti since 2010, when a massive earthquake did untold damage to that small country.

“We also were active in Japan for 18 months following the 2011 tsunami and earthquake,” said King. “The short term goals are to provide relief to people who desperately need it. Every situation is unique. In the Philippines the priorities are clean drinking water and shelter, so we have provided several million square feet of high quality plastic tarps that will provide temporary shelters for homeless people.”

King said the organization ensures that 90 cents of every dollar goes directly to relief efforts, with only ten per cent of donations used for marketing and administration costs.

New residential lots soon to come on the market in Clavet

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Village of Clavet is becoming a more attractive option for people wanting to escape the costs of building a home in Saskatoon.

Saskatoon-based North Ridge Developments Corporation is ready to market 21 new single-family dwelling lots in Clavet, said David Calyniuk, Business Development Manager with North Ridge Developments.

“We don’t have titles yet,” said Calyniuk. “We just finished the servicing during the fall. In the spring we will finish the roads and that is when they will be available for construction.”

North Ridge developed 19 lots back when the corporation first set up in Clavet in 2004.

The new lots will be selling at a price range between $81,900 to $89,000, which is about half of what most home buyers would pay for a lot in Saskatoon, said Calyniuk.

Calyniuk explained that high housing prices in Saskatoon makes it difficult for some people to both work and live in the city. He said this is why Clavet

is becoming a more attractive option for younger families and retirees when it comes to buying a home.

“If there is an opportunity where you can be close to the city where people don’t have the amenities but are able to have a cost savings to some extent and still maintain their lifestyle, then it becomes attractive,” said Calyniuk.

Clavet Mayor Blair Bentley, said the village’s relationship with North Ridge has been a positive experience.

“Back 14 years ago when I became mayor I pretty well approached every developer in the phone book to build lots,” said Bentley. “North Ridge has definitely been a good partner for developing and doing good work.”

The Village of Clavet doesn’t plan on stopping at residential lots. Bentley said a Calgary developer plans on developing commercial lots on 80 acres to the east of the North Ridge Developments area.

“We are hoping to get more commercial. We don’t have a lot of stores or banks. We’ve got a restaurant, hotel and store. It would be nice to have more variety,” said Bentley.

Co-op scholarships available for agriculture, business studies Co-ops not only help you produce your crops, they can help students grow a career through the Excellence in Ag Program.

The program includes a scholarship up to $20,000, summer internships and opportunity for future employment to four students in Western Canada pursuing a post-secondary education in agriculture or business.

“For these students, the financial benefit is a $20,000 scholarship,” said Ron Healey, Federated Co-operatives Limited Associate Vice-President, Ag and Home. “But equally important is the opportunity to secure meaningful, relevant summer internships where they can apply their classroom knowledge to an everyday working environment.”

Rachael Verwey is a firstyear agriculture student at the University of Manitoba. She was one of four students selected in 2013, the first year of the program.

“I would like to say thanks to the Co-op because this is a huge deal,” she said when accepting her award. “I have my career set up for me now; I don’t have anything to worry about.”

Students must be entering or already enrolled in a diploma or degree program at an accredited post-secondary institution.

The deadline for applications for the 2014/15 Excellence in Ag program will be January 31, 2014. Information is available through your local Co-op ag centre or by visiting www.coopconnection.ca.

Business challenge lends a hand to entrepreneurs

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Entrepreneurs from all walks of life converged in Saskatoon for the launch of the Saskatchewan Business Challenge on Wednesday, January 15.

The goal of the challenge is to provide guidance to young entrepreneurs from established business professionals on how to take a business from the idea stage to the finished product, said Brad Kraft, Marketing and Communications Manager for the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA).

Kraft said the challenge was established eight years ago and was originally called Progress2Capital. SREDA partnered with the Regina Regional Opportunities Commission (ROCC) for the challenge two years ago to bring opportunities for entrepreneurs province

wide.

Kraft said applications will be accepted online from January 15 to February 15. After that date, judges will select 20 applicants who will work with experts on how to develop a business model, get help with marketing and finances and have the opportunity to make a one-minute pitch to potential investors.

After the investor pitch, applicants will be trimmed down to ten, where each will work with an investor for six weeks, have their business plan finetuned and presented again in a half hour presentation to a set of judges.

The greatest aspect of the business challenge is that it appeals to all kinds of businesses that don’t already have to be established,” said Kraft.

“It is certainly good if you have any kind of idea just to apply. What is really nice about

the challenge is that it will help especially in the ideation stage.

It will help carry that idea and make it reality,” said Kraft.

The official launch of the challenge was hosted at the Bassment in Saskatoon, where entrepreneurs, business leaders, and SkBC applicants came together to hear from the experiences of Bitstrata Systems, winners of last year’s Progress2Capital.

Bitstrata Systems co-founder Ian Meier said winning the 2013 Progress2Capital challenge was a great experience.

“We were new entrepreneurs when we applied a year ago.

It was a great way to get some support. A fair amount of risk is taken on when you start a small business like this but the challenge really helped guide us through the process.”

Ian Meier and co-owner Michael Lockerbie developed a grain cart weighing application

that is adaptable on iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices.

Bitstrata’s application has the ability to communicate with a device mounted on the grain cart that helps to determine how much grain has been taken off the field. Then the data transmits wirelessly to an iPad, iPhone or to other mobile devices.

Meier said the application would be a time saver for farmers because every time grain is unloaded into a truck it records it automatically and it will record how much grain was produced, what farm it was produced from and where it was transported.

Meier has already sold the application to companies in Canada, the United States and Australia.

The 2014 Saskatchewan Business Challenge winner will be announced at the awards gala at the end of June.

Choose the right financial advisor for you

With RRSP season well underway, many Canadians are wondering whether it’s time to seek financial advice. Here are some tips to help you choose an advisor that’s right for you.

Since you will be relying on your advisor for information and guidance, it is important CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY JANUARY 23, 2014 PG. 12 that you pick someone you find trustworthy, who helps you think about your life goals, who understands your investment needs, and who fully answers all of your questions.

Your advisor will help you create a plan that’s right for you, review it with you regularly and remind you to stick with your plan so that your money can continue to grow. Studies have shown that people who have a financial advisor for 15 years or more, have more than double the savings of those who do not have advisors – mostly because simply having an advisor encourages people to save regularly and save more.

What is a mortgage broker and why you should use one Often it is asked why work with a mortgage broker instead of banks when purchasing, refinancing or transferring your mortgage.

1. They help you with all aspects of your mortgage, from figuring out how much you can truly afford to purchase to finding you ways to pay your mortgage off more quickly.

2. There’s no cost to you as the client. Based on approved

credit, mortgage brokers are paid by the lender when the mortgage funds.

3. They act as a go-between during the loan application process. They are on your side, working with the lender, realtor and lawyer to get your loan closed.

4. Mortgage brokers have a number of lenders they work with and know who can do what kind of loans. A broker

knows how to nudge the process along and can resubmit a loan package to a new lender very quickly if your application isn’t moving along well.

5. You are the mortgage broker’s number one priority and when it comes to mortgages, rates, and the housing market, they speak to you in plain language. They can explain the mortgage terms and conditions so you can choose confi-

dently.

6. In addition, you should expect your mortgage broker to review your mortgage a few times a year to see how you can pay it off faster, whether it’s still the right product for you, and if it’s still competitive.

Questions about your next mortgage transaction, give your mortgage broker a call to discuss your options. Do you know what your mortgage op-

By CARLA HINDMAN

For example: while mortgages have a set term, most are amortized over 15 to 25 years, so reducing the interest rate by a point or two could save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

And credit card rates may vary by 10 points or more, depending on your credit rating.

Most borrower interest rates are expressed in terms of annual percentage rate (APR).

With credit cards, the issuer may charge a fixed APR, or change it as bank interest rates vary (“variable rate”).

Each billing period, the company charges a fraction of the annual rate, called the “periodic rate,” on outstanding balances. With mortgages, the APR also factors in origination fees, mortgage insurance premiums and other fees.

Interest rates may also depend on: Whether the loan is “secured” (secured by collateral such as a house or car) or “unsecured” (not tied to collateral – like credit cards – so the lender relies on your promise to pay it back). Because they’re riskier for the lender, unsecured loans typically have

higher interest rates.

Credit score – people with higher credit scores are deemed less risky and therefore get much more favourable rates.

Term length – long-term loan rates are usually higher than short-term rates, because the longer the loan, the greater the risk to the lender that you might default.

Fixed vs. variable. Home mortgage interest rates are either fixed at a set interest rate, or are variable, which means the rate can fluctuate for part or all of the loan period. When rate indexes are relatively high, many opt for a variable rate mortgage, which typically has a lower beginning rate and is therefore more affordable initially. However, when rates climb due to inflation or other factors, variable rate payments can rise sharply, which is why many people prefer the more dependable fixed rate.

Bottom line: Many factors in setting interest rates are beyond our individual control; however, controlling their own credit score – which can have a tremendous impact on interest rates – is an important les-

son to learn.

Teach your kids about interest rates Director of Financial Education Visa Canada

One of the most valuable financial lessons you can share with your kids before they leave the nest is to explain what interest rates are and how they work. The important financial transactions they’ll conduct as adults will likely be affected in some way by interest rates, whether as a lender or a borrower.

Here’s some background information to help guide those conversations: Interest rates for lenders.

Anyone who has a savings account or owns government or business bonds is, in effect, lending money to those institutions and earning interest on the loan. In most cases, however, this interest income is probably taxable, so shop around for favourable rates to maximize your earnings and help offset inflation. Compare bank GIC, savings and chequing account interest rates online to see where the best offer is.

Interest rates for borrowers.

Interest rates have even more impact on you as a borrower, especially for large purchases.

This article is intended to provide general information and should not be considered legal, tax or financial advice. It’s always a good idea to consult a tax or financial advisor for specific information on how certain laws apply to your situation and about your individual financial situation.

Rienbolt, Ganter keys to Chiefs’ scoring punch

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Chiefs’ playoff hopes rely on three factors: great goaltending, playing as a team and most importantly, scoring goals. The latter hasn’t been a problem for Mark Ganter this year.

Ganter leads the team in scoring with 15 goals and 13 assists, and is sixth overall in rookie scoring, a statistic he didn’t expect when the season started.

Originally from Unity, Ganter said he had the opportunity to play for the West Central Rage, but thought the Chiefs was a better organization with a great coaching staff, which he said gave him a lot of confidence right from the start.

“The coaching staff gave me lots of opportunities to play,” he said. “I think that always helps.

They have lots of confidence in me. When someone has confidence in you you always want to go out there and try your best.”

Chiefs assistant coach Darryl Murray said Ganter is just the type of kid who works hard and wants to prove himself eve-

ry game.

Ganter said part of success this year has come from the soft scoring hands of Josh Reinbolt, who is just points behind Ganter in team and league rookie scoring with 17 goals and 10 assists for 27 points.

“It is fun to always have someone to battle with,” said Ganter. “We have great chemistry together on the ice and like to push each other each game to score as many goals as we can.”

Late last year, head coach Dave Norris said part of the trade deal which send four veterans to the Saskatoon Royals was based on the confidence he had in some of the Chiefs rookies this year.

Despite the Chiefs’ current record of 11 wins and 14 losses and sixth place showing in the Prairie Junior Hockey League’s north division, the future looks bright, said Murray.

“We are in a rebuilding phase right now,” said Norris. “We have an entire team of 18-yearolds. I think we have the potential to be the top two or three placed team for points in the league next season.”

Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats keep on rolling Team puts together 15-game winning streak

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Wildcats are heading into the toughest part of the Centre Four Pee Wee AA Hockey League season on a confident note.

The team has racked up a regular season record of 15 straight wins and 0 losses, outscoring their opponents 189 to 32.

But Wildcats head coach Dustin Cyr isn’t taking anything for granted. The soft-spoken coach says there’s “still a long way to go till the end of March.”

“We actually don’t want to talk about the winning streak too much,” said Cyr in an interview following a 9-4 win over the visiting Humboldt Broncos in Warman on Saturday, January 18. “We’re on a good roll here and doing some good things. We have a plan in place and we’re executing what we want to accomplish this year.”

Cyr said about a month into

the season, the coaching staff, which includes assistant coaches Brett Doucette and Chris Kjarsgaard, took a critical look at how the team stacked up against the opposition and mapped out their strategy.

“We felt we have a team that could potentially go all the way,” he said. “We feel if we do the right things on a consistent basis, we’ll be there right at the end. But it’s a process of babysteps. We have to take it a little bit at a time.”

Cyr said the team is trying to stay grounded by guarding against over-confidence.

“There is a considerable amount of expectation when people in the community look at the record and see what we’ve accomplished,” said Cyr. “Absolutely over-confidence is an issue, and it’s something that we try very hard to mitigate. We’re very open with the players about that and we talk about it consistently. We’ve been lucky we haven’t had that sneak in too much. We take ev-

ery game, every period, every shift as it comes. It’s all babysteps toward the end goal, and that’s still a long way off.”

Cyr, whose coaching experience has mainly been with Tier I Bantam teams, says coaching a younger age group has its challenges.

“They respond in a different way,” he said. “The’re a little younger, so the message has to be handled differently.”

The biggest improvement in the players, he notes, is their “mental toughness” both on and off the ice.

“We’ve seen some strengthning of character and resolve, and not letting little things build into big things,” he said.

“We’ve also seen big improvements in their on-ice skills.

We’re always looking to make improvements. We keep hammering on that going toward the finish line.”

During the game against Humboldt on Saturday, January 18, the Wildcats dominated the first two periods, buliding up a 6-0 lead before Humboldt finally got on the scoreboard midway through the contest.

THE

This year, body-checking is not permitted at the Pee Wee level, and the Warman players used their speed and stickhandling finesse to kept the Humboldt team off-balance.

Goal-scorers for Warman included Austin Lamotte (3), Holden Knights (2), Boston Bayly, Luke Reid, Noah Lessmeister, and Josh Pillar,. Warman netminder Corbin Christianson was solid between the pipes.

Humboldt captain Logan Barlage, who towered over his teammates, also stood tall in the goal-scoring department, accounting for three of the Broncos’ four goals. Cael Zimmerman added a single for the visitors.

The Wildcats entered the first round of provincials on Sunday, January 19, defeating West Central by a score of 8-1 in Warman at the Legends Centre. The second game of the opening round is slated for Friday, January 24 in Dodsland.

The Wildcats’ regular season continues on Wednesday, January 29 when they host Tisdale at the Legends Centre. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

Dalmeny overpowers Warman, teams gear up for FCHL playoffs

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Dalmeny Fury have their work cut out for them heading into the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) playoffs.

After cruising to a 6-1 win over the visiting Warman Wildcats on Friday, January 17, the Fury suffered a 9-1 drubbing at the hands of the Bruno T-Birds on Saturday, January 18.

That wasn’t the result the Fury were looking for, particularly as they will likely face the T-Birds once the FCHL postseason gets underway in early February.

“We’ll probably end up playing Bruno in the opening round,” said Fury Coach Darren (Woody) Wutzke after the game against Warman on January 17. “They’re a strong team, depth-wise, and they always play a strong physical game, so we’ll have to be ready for that.”

Wutzke said the Fury are in better shape this season as they gear up for the playoffs. Last year, they were plagued by injuries, and struggled with a short bench.

“We’ve got a couple guys hurting, but most teams are feeling the bumps and bruises by this time of year,” said Wutzke. “I’d say over all we’re okay.

At least we have enough bodies.”

The Warman Wildcats, on the other hand, have some pretty big gaps in their lineup. With only 10 skaters on the bench for the Dalmeny game, the Wildcats just didn’t have the legs or the lungs to last the whole 60 minutes.

“We kind of fell asleep for about 15 minutes during the second period,” said Warman coach Nathan Harms after the game. “It was 2-1 after the first period, and we played well in the third frame, but that second period where Dalmeny scored

four quick goals in a row really did us in.”

The Wildcats also put up a valiant effort on Saturday, January 18 at home against the league-leading Prairie Outlaws, but once again, their short bench was their downfall. The Outlaws won the game 16-5.

ROSTHERN DOWNS HAGUE

The Hague Royals, meanwhile, came out on the wrong end of a 5-1 loss to the Rosthern Wheat Kings in Rosthern on Saturday, January 18.

Hague hosted Warman on Tuesday, January 21 following the Gazette’s press deadline.

Rosthern edged Tisdale 8-7 the following day, while the Prairie Outlaws beat the Shellbrook Elks 6-3 on Sunday, January 19. The Dalmeny Fury host the Shellbrook Elks on Friday, January 24, while Hague hosts Bruno that same evening.

Game time for both contests is 8:30 p.m.

Horoscopes

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Dreams do come true, Capricorn. Reach for the stars, and all that you hope for will be yours. An old friend drops by with an intriguing offer. Consider it.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

Use it or lose it, Aquarius. You’ve kept a talent hidden for far too long. It is your turn to shine. A memo at work sets forth a long list of challenges.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Poor Pisces. You’ve been chomping at the bit to get started on a project, and there is yet another delay. Be patient. Your time will come.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Awesome, Aries. The budget crunching pays off, and you begin to show a surplus. Stash a bit and spend the rest on whatever your heart desires.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Save it, Taurus. Nothing you say or do matters. Your loved one has their mind made up. Turn your attention to an issue you can tackle.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Wealth and fame are not all that they are cracked up to be. Know the pitfalls before you sign on he dotted line, Gemini. A youngster makes a plea. Be kind.

sudoku

CANCER June 22–

July 22

Ahoy, Cancer. Many challenges lie ahead, but as usual, you will be up to the task. A loved one could use some time away. Arrange it for them.

LEO July 23– August 22

Tsk-tsk, Leo. You suspect it won’t work, and you’re right.

Some people have to learn the hard way, however. A shift in opinion eases conflict at home.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Step up or step out, Virgo. Demand has grown, and the pace is quickening. A relative makes an announcement.

Be there for them.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Methods are challenged, and you must hold firm if any progress is to be made. Be bold and be brave, Libra. A text adds to the intrigue at home.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

Uh-uh-uh, Scorpio. Now is not the time to bow out. You promised to help, and many people are counting on you.

Do what you must to fulfill your commit-ment.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21

Faith, Sagittarius. This week is all about faith. Believe in those around you and trust their instincts, and the deadline will be met. A cause is worthy.

In the Saskatchewan AA Bantam Hockey League, the old record for most consecutive wins was 12 games.

This year the new record of 18 wins in a row belongs to the Sask Valley Vipers. The Vipers tied the old record back on November 16, 2013 with a win over the Regina Monarchs.

The Vipers went on to add to that number with six more wins to make it 18-0 before they lost their first game of the season on December 22 to SAABHL’s South Division leading

Prairie Storm.

It was a stat Vipers head coach Shaun Priel never realized.

“I didn’t even know it we had a record,” said Priel in an interview. “We take it one game at a time. We go into every game hoping to be successful. I think it is something the kids can be proud of.”

With the Vipers heading into its final games of the season, the team shut out its opponents five times, currently has nine players boasting double digit point totals and two of the strongest goaltenders in the league. Joel
