TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Parents and kids spent some time warming up at the firepit in Kinsmen Park near the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre in Martensville on Saturday, February 1 during the city’s annual Winter FunFest celebration. Hundreds of residents braved the elements to skate and play shinny on the openair ponds, go for a horse-drawn wagon ride, try some coffee-can curling, as well as participate in indoor children’s activities.

Tough sledding: Prairie Women on Snowmobiles brave harsh conditions

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The ten women who signed up for this year’s edition of the Prairie Women on Snowmobiles (PWOS) cross-province trek likely knew what they were getting into.

But that didn’t make things any easier.

The veteran sledders pulled into Martensville on Friday, January 31 at the end of a gru-

elling first day in a week-long journey that will take them across the province. Along the way, they dealt head-on with bone-chilling temperatures and bone-shaking ice drifts.

“It’s been a rough day on the trails, that’s for sure,” said

PWOS president Carol Lueken in an interview in front of the Martensville Tim Hortons as the sun was setting on the western horizon. “We had hardpacked ice for most of the day, ad those drifts aren’t very forgiving. They‘re awfully hard once you hit them.”

But it was a great introduction to long-distance snowmobiling, added Lueken, and the trekkers proved themselves up

to the challenge.

“They were tough conditions, but the ladies persevered and made it through, and we had a great day,” she said. “Now we’re looking forward to warming up and having a hot meal.”

A fundraising supper at the Adobe Inn, a long-time sponsor of the annual event, brought out a good crowd, and the sledders hit the trail the following morning, heading west toward

Kindersley. The trek is slated to end on Friday, February 7 in Nipawin.

Over the past 13 years, PWOS has raised over $2 million for cancer research. In 2013, the mission raised $209,885. The fundraising total for this year’s ride won’t be known for several weeks, but Lueken said each of the ten riders had to raise a

Community event slated for cancer victim’s family A soup and pie supper is being organized to support the family of the late Brendan Loewen, a 25-year-old Warman resident who passed away from cancer on Monday, February 3.

The supper, scheduled to be held at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Friday, February 14, was originally intended to help Brendan with costs associated with alternative treatments for his cancer. But the focus of the event has now shifted to helping the young man’s family cope with their loss, according to Caitlin Enns, a friend of the family and one of the organizers of the event.

“Brendan was diagnosed with cancer last September,” explained Enns. “He had a series of tests and it was determined that the cancer originated in his lungs and then spread quick-

ly to his brain and his bones. It advanced very, very quickly, and it was quite devastating.”

Enns said Brendan spent the last two weeks in Palliative Care in St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon. But since his diagnosis he has been cared for by his family, who have had to take time off work. Brendan leaves behind his father and mother, Ray and Mary Loewen of Warman, and his younger brothers Bryce and Blaine. Brendan grew up in Warman and is a graduate of Warman High School. The supper will run from 4:30 p.m. top 8:00 p.m. and admission is by donation. “It’s a very sad time for the family and for friends of Brendan,” said Enns.

“This is a way of showing support for the family. We wish things could have turned out differently.”

“We want to spread awareness of how important it is to get tested,” she said. “Early detection is so important.”

Local knowledge, on-the job experience major assets for newest Corman Park Police officer

having worked shoulder-toshoulder with veteran police officers.

“Police College was definitely challenging,” said Schreiner in an interview. “But looking back, I would say I definitely enjoyed the experience. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time.”

Just getting into the college was a feat in itself. Potential students need to undergo a polygraph test, a criminal record check, educational examination, a formal interview by senior officers, medical exam and pass the Police Officers’ Physical Ability Test (POPAT).

The college was established in 1974 and provides training to new recruits from municipal police services as well as courses to personnel of accred-

A policeman who knows the local area has a leg up on the bad guys.

And 28-year-old Dana Schreiner, a graduate of Warman High School, definitely knows the back roads of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park.

Schreiner, the newest constable with the seven-member Corman Park Police Service, graduated from Saskatchewan Police College in Regina on Friday, December 13.

Three days later, on Monday, December 16, he was on the job, patrolling the biggest RM - both in terms of geographic area and also population - in the province.

Raised on a farm in the RM of Corman Park between Warman and Martensville, Schreiner is a great fit with the munic“Dana is a huge asset. ipal police service, according to Sgt. He grew up in this area. He John Garnet, the acting police chief. knows all the party spots.

Dana Schreiner graduated from the Saskatchewan Police College at the University of Regina in December and is the newest constable with the Corman Park Police Service regular jobs to teach the courses.

“These are people with 25 to 30 years of experience who really know their stuff. They make sacrifices to teach at this college because it means so much to them,” said Schreiner.

Schreiner’s training at the college was sponsored by the Corman Park Police. It’s an “investment” that will pay dividends in the years to come, said Garnet.

“When the opportunity came up to send Dana to Police College, I had no reservations at all,” said Garnet. “Dana had been working with us as a volunteer for four years, and dur-

ing that time he was always going the extra mile to learn as much as he could. He showed us he’s got what it takes to be a top-notch officer.”

Garnet said it takes about five years after graduation from police college for an officer to become fully trained and able to deal with whatever he or she comes up against in the course of their duties. So having an experienced officer join the ranks right out of college is a bonus, he added.

Schreiner said he chose the Corman Park Police force because he wants to continue working in his home area.

“I like the fact I’m working

in the community I grew up in,” he said. “I live in Warman.

I like the fact that I’m at work right away. I’m not a big fan of being moved across the country and being posted in different communities. It’s nice to stay in one place and make a long-term home.”

Schreiner said he also likes the appeal of municipal policing. “I grew up on a farm. I like working with farmers, and it’s also a real mixed area with urban municipalities that are growing rapidly,” he said. “I also like the fact that we work in cooperation with so many other police agencies. We cooperate with the Saskatoon Po-

lice Service, the Warman and Saskatoon RCMP detachments, the Dalmeny Police Service, the RM of Vanscoy Police Service, the CN Police, the provincial Conservation officers, and Transport Compliance officers.

There’s a wide diversity. Criminals don’t stop at the border of the cities, and the police agencies have to work together.”

Schreiner is getting a taste of cooperation while working within the Saskatoon Police Service during the month of February.

Garnet said the experience will help the young recruit learn many aspects of police work in a larger force.

Legal service accessibility improved for low-income people The province is providing financial support that will assist low-income individuals in accessing justice services in Saskatoon.

As part of a funding agreement between the Government of Saskatchewan and the Community Legal Assistance Services for Saskatoon Inner City Inc. (CLASSIC), the Ministry

of Justice will provide a total of $300,000 between 2013-2016.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant presented CLASSIC with a cheque for $90,000 today in Saskatoon.

“The purpose of this funding agreement is two-fold,” Wyant said. “It will support legal assistance for those who need it most and give Sas-

katchewan’s next generation of lawyers the opportunity to learn hands-on about the legal community’s responsibilities to equal access to justice.”

The agreement provides funding for CLASSIC’s Legal Advice Clinic, which provides direct legal assistance to low-income individuals in inner city Saskatoon. It will also

Preventing falls helps seniors stay independent: health worker

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Accidental falls account for 57 per cent of injury-related hospital admissions, according to Daphne Kemp with the Saskatoon Health Region (SHR).

Kemp told a standing room only crowd at the Seniors’ Coffee Hour on Tuesday, January 28 that preventing falls is key to maintaining seniors’ independence.

The event, held in the parents room at the Warman Community Middle School is a monthly program for seniors organized by the Warman Community Library.

“One in three Canadians 65 years and older will have a fall this year,” said Kemp. “That number increases to one in two Canadians over the age of 80.”

Kemp says the health region defines a fall as an unexpected event where a person lands on the floor, ground or lower level. She explained that the region also considers a fall to be a

slip and fall without injury and a fall when someone is braced by someone while falling and helped to the ground.

There are over 400 risk factors for falling, said Kemp.

Some of the most common areas where falls occur in the home include bathtubs, stairs, kitchens and bedroom.

Some of Kemp’s recommendations to fall-proof a home include placing a non-slip mat or a grab bar in a bathtub. In the kitchen keeping floors clean and dry and placing items on lower shelves in the cupboard so using a step stool is not necessary.

In the bedroom, Kemp suggested using a night light or glow tape leading from the bedroom to the bathroom for late night visits.

On stairwells Kemp advised seniors to make sure stairwells were free of clutter, that rugs on the stairs are tacked down and there are sturdy hand rails on both sides.

There are also preventative

tools seniors may not realize are important including staying active by exercising for 30 minutes a day, wearing appropriate footwear and keeping a balanced diet to prevent lightheadedness and dehydration.

For people who have osteoporosis, Osteoporosis Canada recommends that 800 to 2000 international units for Vitamin D daily,” said Kemp.

The Osteoporosis Canada website suggests Vitamin D improves the function of muscles which improves balance and lessons the likelihood of falling.

If a person continues to fall despite preventative measures taken, a tool that is becoming more and more common in long term care homes to prevent hip fractures caused by halls are hip protectors, said Kemp.

The protector is a girdle with two pads sewn in to the sides, which can come in different styles and is 85 per cent effective.

“Hip fractures can have the

most devastating impacts,” said Kemp.

Martensville couple Clement and Audrey Vertenchini have experienced falls, which was the reason why they took in the presentation.

Clement said he once fell off a ladder while installing Christmas lights. His wife Audrey cut herself badly during a fall, an incident which resulted in her needing physiotherapy.

Vertenchini, said the presentation was very informative.

“It opened our eyes to the potential dangers that do exist in our home,” said Vertenchini.

Preventing falls for seniors is something Kemp is passionate about. She has been fall prevention coordinator for two years and spent 18 months travelling to communities within Saskatoon’s health region.

Kemp’s grandmother passed away due to complications stemming from successive falls.

“If changes that caused the fall are not made, the chances of falling again are very high.”

North Corman Park Search and Rescue holds basic training day Five new members of North Corman Park Search and Rescue (NCPSAR) learned the basic techniques for search and rescue operations during a training session on Saturday January 25 at the Dalmeny Fire Hall.

Trainers at the session included Duwayne Woodland, Rick Elder, Gord Jackson and Tom Moody.

“Basic Search and Rescue (SAR) training covers mainly personal preparedness for search activities,” explained Tom Moody. “Preparedness includes things like maintaining personal fitness, the proper type of clothing and personal protective equipment needed

for different weather and terrain conditions, recommended gear for each member to carry, how searchers are called out and organized, and also basic map and compass navigation.”

The NCPSAR is a volunteer SAR group under the SARSAV umbrella in Saskatchewan.

It consists of 42 members from Dalmeny, Martensville, Warman, Hepburn, Osler and Langham who are trained in ground search and rescue.

This training varies by member,” said Moody, “All members are trained in Basic Search, plus many are trained

as Search Team Leaders and Search Managers. Many members also have other training such as Medical, Rope rescue, Navigation, All Terrain Vehicle, Water Rescue, Ice Rescue, and Evidence Search.”

SAR members are required to purchase and maintain their own search and rescue gear, including their pack, clothing, footwear, compass, and GPS. Moody said the NCPSAR is called out on occasions when a person is missing, or if a search is required for evidence.

“NCPSAR is dispatched at the request of the RCMP to as-

sist in searches anywhere in Saskatchewan,” he said. “The NCPSAR conducts training exercises several times per year for members to practice their skills.”

The next scheduled training exercise for NCPSAR members is March 29, when they will focus on Map and Compass.

Moody said volunteers are always needed.

“The NCPSAR is always looking for new members,” he said. “Anyone interested can contact Duwayne Woodland by email wood211@hotmail. ca.

Canada’s veterans, who have sacrificed so much, deserve our respect Every time my father would talk about my grandfather there was always a sense a pride in his eyes. My grandfather was comparable to a Forrest Gump character. He fought in the First and Second World Wars, was a boxer, survived two Tsunamis, shipwrecks and witnessed one of the largest man made accidents in Canada during the war effort, the Halifax Explosion.

I can remember my Dad telling me when medical personnel carried my grandfather away from the Halifax Waterfront for treatment he thought he was in heaven because the medical personnel resembled angels because of their white coats.

After the shell shock, he soon

Prairie Screechin’

realized he was alive and I bet felt lucky he was one of the fortunate few that lived to tell his family about it.

I never met my grandfather, he died well before I was born, which sort of made my grandfather a legend in my eyes. When I think about him I wish he would have lived a little longer so I would have the opportunity to interview him and talk about his military life.

One thing I have always wondered was if my grandfather suffered any post traumatic stress because of his military service and if he was truly compensated for it.

When I was working for a newspaper in Happy ValleyGoose Bay Labrador, I was fortunate to meet Captain Wilfred T. Haynes, a former Royal Navy captain. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy as an Ordinary Seaman, but was wounded while on duty in the Mediterranean. Haynes carried shrapnel in his left leg until he was 85 years old, which eventually led to the amputation of his leg.

I can remember Haynes telling me how his son Bruce was installing a rail and hoist in a

bathroom in his home to make it easier for his father to take a bath.

It was hard to listen to how he was treated by Veteran Affairs in Ottawa, who constantly sent Haynes letters explaining why they were not going to compensate him for the loss of his leg.

Haynes died later that year.

I am not sure if he ever did receive compensation, but eight years later you can still read about veteran families in the media, who are forced to cover the cost of health related injuries because of the war effort.

The latest dishonour from Veterans Affairs Canada came earlier this month when it ordered Cpl. Leona MacEachern’s

husband to pay back an overpayment of $581.67 because according to the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-Establishment and Compensation Act earnings loss benefits are payable up to the day of MacEachern’s death.

MacEachern, who was a 20year veteran of the Canadian Arms Forces and suffered from PTSD, died December 25, 2013 when she deliberately drove into an oncoming transport truck just outside Calgary.

The Federal Government right now is being asked a lot of questions by opposition leaders and veterans about whether Stephen Harper will retroactively compensate ex-soldiers whose pensions and benefits

were unfairly clawed back.

In May 2012 former defence minister Peter MacKay and federal lawyers negotiated an $877 million retroactive settlement dating back to 1976.

This continuing saga makes me wonder if fighting or dying for your county is an honourable thing anymore?

If dealing with the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder wasn’t enough, money will not cure it, but surely compensation based on time served should assist in providing a better quality of life for our veterans.

We can’t afford more suicides because of PTSD or disabled veterans feeling their country has forgotten about them.

SUMA delegates call for infrstructure funding Delegates at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention passed a resolution on Tuesday, February 4 that the Government of Canada immediately release the program design and details of the renewed Building Canada Fund.

“It is vital that urban municipalities have access to federal funding to address the escalating infrastructure deficit in our communities,” said SUMA President Debra Button. “We have been waiting long enough

to access the funding promised by the federal government. We can’t afford to miss another construction season.”

In March 2013, the federal government announced in its budget that a renewed Building Canada Fund would be developed, providing $14.4 billion for infrastructure projects over 10 years. The final details of the program design have not been released. Urban governments have been told that the earliest they can expect to see federal funding is April 2014.

Construction companies fined for unsafe conditions

A numbered company, 1234049 Alberta Ltd. of Moose Jaw pleaded guilty to two counts under occupational health and safety legislation and was fined $1,040 in Regina Provincial Court on January 15, 2014.

The charges stemmed from an inspection on November 14, 2012 where an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Officer observed workers at a worksite in Regina working without fall protection equipment. Three other charges were stayed.

In a separate case, Wright Construction Western Inc. of Saskatoon pleaded guilty to one count under occupational health and safety legislation and was fined $840 in Saskatoon Provincial Court on January 9, 2014.

The charge relates to an inspection on October 27, 2011 at a commercial building worksite in Saskatoon. One worker was observed on a roof not wearing fall protection equipment, while three other workers were wearing appropriate equipment but did not have their lanyards attached.

In the last five years, the construction industry has paid

Income splitting: who benefits?

By DAVID MACDONALD

Senior Economist Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives

COMMENTARY

Eighty-six percent of Canadian families would gain no benefit from the proposed federal Conservative government’s income splitting plan. This information was released recently in a new study released by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).

The study examines the cost and the distributional impact of three income splitting scenarios: pension income splitting; income splitting for families with children under 18, as the Conservatives have pledged; and income splitting for all families.

The study finds that the impact of income splitting in all scenarios is very unequal and the lost revenue for Canadian governments would be substantial.

Income splitting creates a tax loophole big enough to drive a Rolls Royce through. It’s pitched as a program for the middle class but in reality it’s an expensive tax gift for the rich. The upper third of Canada’s richest families would receive $3 of every $4 spent on income splitting.

The study finds seven out of ten senior families get no benefit at all from pension income splitting and the richest 10% of senior families receive more than the bottom 70% combined. The cost of pension income splitting for senior couples in 2015 is estimated at $1.7 billion ($1.2 billion federally and $500 million provincially). In contrast, it would cost $1.5 billion a year to lift all Canadian seniors out of poverty.

The study examines the Conservative plan to extend income splitting to families with children under 18 and finds: 86% of all families would gain no benefit whatsoever from this tax loophole.

There are real consequences of creating a $5 billion a year loophole that gives tax breaks to Canada’s richest families who don’t need them. If Canadian governments are concerned about supporting families with children, they could provide a universal child care program similar to the Quebec $7-a-day model for roughly the same cost as income splitting.

Income splitting is a policy choice that would purposely exacerbate already high income inequality in Canada.

This is inequality by design, not by accident.

More needs to be done for First Nations

As this province leaps ahead to new levels of economic prosperity in the 21st century, you’d like to think that we’ve left our old problems behind.

Sadly, though, there are days when it only seems our old problems are getting worse.

One such problem is our relationship with First Nations people - specifically, the problems of their children growing up in a safer and secure environment.

Perhaps things have improved, marginally. But a few reminders of late suggest we still have a long ways to go.

About 13 years ago, I wrote a chapter in a book entitled “Writing off the Rural West” in which I explored the often difficult relationships between Saskatchewan’s First Nation communities and the rural farms and towns and small cities that surround them.

One example that I raised was that of one community in which it was a reasonably common practice to buy up then-cheap lots around your house in town just so that they wouldn’t be bought by Saskatchewan Housing and become homes to a First

Nations family migrating from the nearby reserve.

This was often done for reasons that extend well beyond race. Such renters are not always good caretakers. A rundown property next to yours would devalue your own property - a tough pill to swallow in the days when housing in Saskatchewan was of considerably less value than it is now.

Our economy has changed significantly in the past decade and a half. Our property is worth more. But for many First Nations people, the boom has passed them by and they are struggling as much as ever.

Consider the recent news that close to 500 children - most of whom would be First Nations children - have died in the care of the Saskatchewan welfare system in the past two decades.

Not all these deaths were nec-

essarily nefarious. Many had to do with pre-existing conditions.

However, that these “pre-existing conditions” often have to do with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) passed on from addicted parents suggests a cruel reality.

The next generation of First Nations children are being failed. It is the same thing that happened to the previous generation and the generation before that - many of whom were from the residential school era and some of whom suffered unspeakable abuses.

It’s not that we’ve turned a blind eye to the problem. We are sympathetic to the sad state of affairs. We blame the problem on the social services system that’s both overly bureaucratic and overburdened with what often seems to be growing caseloads.

We blame the lack of qualified foster homes - especially within the First Nations community where everyone would prefer First Nations children be raise.

We blame the poor work of First Nations child care services and we blame chiefs and band coun-

cils who often don’t do a good job of distributing what resources are available.

And we rightly blame the parents. Some are mere children, themselves. Some have their own addiction issues. All too many suffer from inadequate parenting skills that have been lost in the sad history of residential schools and alcohol and drug addiction problems.

We blame the entire system and rightly point out a good job is the first step to solving anyone’s social problems. But that so little has improved suggests that maybe we all should shoulder some of the blame.

Sure, we are all sympathetic to these babies and young First Nations children starting their lives with huge disadvantages that make a productive adulthood virtually impossible.

But we get too caught up in issues that don’t much matter, like a 13-year-old First Nations kid wearing a cheeky sweatshirt that is mostly about showing pride in her heritage.

Maybe we have made strides.

But we all have to do better or the problem will only get worse.

New academic assessment system poses more questions than answers Is it change for the sake of change or do the experts know something we ordinary parents and citizens don’t?

That was the burning question as education students, school division trustees and staff, teachers, parents and some community members heard from five “experts” at a public forum and panel discussion on the new assessment and reporting system implemented throughout Prairie Spirit School Division.

For those that may not have heard about this forum, you are not alone. Despite having a child in school and being the owner and publisher of the newspaper of record for a large portion of the school division, I never found out about it until three hours beforehand.

Sure, there were postings on Facebook, posters in the schools and on one school website. But I guess I don’t hang with the right friends on Facebook. Maybe I need to walk

my son into the school each morning so I can check the bulletin board for announcements. If all else fails, I should put a sticky note on my computer screen to check all the school websites each day twice a day for this type of vital information. It was a forum open to everyone in the division, yet the only website that had any information about it was the Warman Community Middle School. And, if you don’t have a child attending WCMS, chances are good it’s not exactly a must-see website.

For those who weren’t aware of this forum, it was a missed opportunity to learn more about the new grading sys-

tem that ditches the tried and true letter grades or percentage grades in favour of ostentatious terms such as “Beginning”, “Approaching”, “Meeting” and “Extending”.

Before moving on, I’ll have to give the school division an “Approaching” grade (in older days, this would be a “C” at best) for their promotional faux pas. A barely one-third full auditorium that holds 400 people does not exactly constitute a stellar crowd, especially in a division with no fewer than 44 schools and over 9,400 students.

The decision to move to a new assessment method for our students is all but a done deal in the division. Gone are the days of excited youngsters coming home from school with beaming smiles on their faces because they worked hard and earned an A+ or a 94 per cent average on their report card.

of kids will come home and all mutter the same term in a monotone, Ferris Bueller’ish voice: “Meeting”. That’s great!

You’re meeting what? Meeting on the playground? Meeting a friend? Meeting for a game of “stand around” because you’re not allowed to use a soccer ball at recess?

Bueller? Bueller?

All sarcasm aside, this new grading system will produce two types of young adults.

First is the naturally gifted and motivated student who suddenly learns through osmosis that they can be lazy and need only do the bare minimum. The term “Extending” doesn’t exactly bring out the hunger to achieve, whereas a chance to go from a B+ to an A- is a target to strive for.

The second type will be the ones that are unmotivated and lured by the system into a false sense of accomplishment. They tried really hard, were given an Approaching mark and sent

on their way.

Sorry to break the news but trying really hard doesn’t cut it in the real world. My own experience with resumes from the “younger generation” is proof positive. Can’t spell my company’s name right in the cover letter? Couldn’t meet that deadline because you didn’t think the assignment was really all that important? Thanks for trying...but no job for you.

I wouldn’t want my doctor to tell me following surgery they tried to take out my gall bladder but couldn’t find it so they took out my spleen. There is a big difference between trying and doing. In some ways if I’m 80-years-old, I’m kind of hoping I get another 80-year-old with the scalpel. Sure, I may have some extra stitches, but at least I can be assured he or she will be on time and very likely get the right organ.

Even the youngest of students need goals. Ever watch a youngster play a video game?

I have plenty of experience in this area. When my sevenyear-old son makes it to his game’s next level after trying so hard, he is walking on air and is proud of himself. Moreso, he is motivated to get past the next challenge. He knows all about goals and how to achieve them. A report card that says he is “Meeting” or even “Extending” is hardly a ringing endorsement of his hard work and dedication in the classroom.

The blame cannot be put squarely on the teachers, however. They have been put into a difficult position of squaring a building with round corners.

It’s rather ironic that the group of academics who came up with – and are promoting this new grading system – once received letter and percentage grades in elementary school.

If it was good enough for those same academics then, why isn’t the same system good enough for our kids now?

to bridge a gap Art project in Langham aims to encourage youth involvement

By JESSICA SEIDEL

jessye.rae96@gmail.com

An innovative art project aimed at encouraging youth to become more involved in their community is getting off the ground in Langham.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE

Once it takes flight, the project will also help bridge the generation gap by tapping into the creativity of seniors.

It all adds up to creating a more lively, dynamic community, according to Kris Moffatt, a Langham visual artist and curatorof the Moffatt Galleria.

Moffatt, in partnership with the art program at Walter W. Brown high school, was recently awarded a $9,800 Creative Partnership Program “Explore and Develop” grant from the provincial government.

This means that the students of Langham School and members of the community are going to be given the opportunity to express their artistic styles all over town. Basically they’re getting the chance to improve, and exercise their artistic skills, and bring a new art as-

pect to the town of Langham.

The five main partners of this project are Moffatt (artist partner), art teacher Brian Knowles and Principal Michael Neufeld of Walter W. Brown School, the Town of Langham itself, Langham & District Heritage & Village Museum, and the Langham Senior Citizens Home.

Each of the partners has a specific job to carry out. Moffatt is in charge of researching the needs of the community, partners and students and drafting project ideas to create a final plan for the project.

The school will manage grant reporting, fund administration, artist contract and payment and help ensure the project remains on track and applies to the students’ needs.

The town will be consulted about projects and will contribute input and spaces for the art of the students and community.

They will also provide project documentation through interviews and input.

The Museum and Senior Citizens Home will both be consulted on project development and possibly provide space for the actual creating phases of the project.

Phase one of the project is mostly up to the school and Moffatt. Together they will fig-

Brown High School (far right), Art Teacher Brian Knowles and Langham visual artist Kris Moffatt inside the Moffatt Galleria studio in Langham ure out the needs of both the students and community, and work out the interest in projects and participation. Then Moffatt will start to develop projects that will fit those needs and present them to Knowles, after which they will be sent to the funders for approval.

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT

“I wrote a thesis question when I applied for the creative partnership grant,” explained Moffatt in a recent interview.

“And that question was: ‘will

involvement with art in the community increase student engagement, and their sense of belonging in the community?’

“Basically the goal of this project is to promote kids to become involved with art and their communities,” Moffatt added. “The people of this town, the kids mostly, who don’t own houses, and who haven’t been in Langham for 40 years, tend to feel that maybe they don’t belong in this town so much, they feel they have nothing to contribute. This project is to help

them make this town theirs and also express themselves.

“I used to be a student, and I know what it was like and how bad I wanted that chance,” Moffatt said.

Once the first phase of the project has been approved and planned out, the partners can start working on the second phase of getting people involved.

If the first phase is approved the project will be in line for funding. If granted, the project will be sure to benefit all par-

ticipants.

“I just think it’s a great way to make, or to give real world application to what we do in art at Walter W. Brown and increase the profile of art in Langham,” said art teacher Brian Knowles.

The provincial Creative Partnerships programs are supported through the collaboration of the Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture, and financial support from Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation.

NEW MARTENSVILLE CITY HALL OPENS FOR BUSINESS City of Martensville staff members Janet Shewchuk (left) and Heather Braun are set to greet members of the public at the reception counter of the new Martensville City Hall. The new building opened for business on Monday, February 3. On Thursday, January 30 and Friday, January 31, city staff (inset above) were busy packing up their files and furniture for the big move. The $2.5 million, 10,000 square-foot facility brings together all the civic departments under one roof. Until now, city staff operated out of three separate buildings. The new city hall, which is still undergoing last-minute finishing touches, also includes the new Martensville City Council Chambers. The city’s computer system and telephones are operational in the new building. A total of 17 city staff, including all Department heads, will be operating out of offices in the new City Hall, which is expected to meet the needs of the rapidly-growing city for the next ten years. The building was designed by Maurice Soulodre Architects. This spring, landscaping work on the site, located adjacent to the existing Martensville Civic Centre, will be commenced. The total cost of the building and landscaping is expected to be about $3 million. The Martensville Library, located in the Civic Centre, is set to undergo a major renovation and expansion as it takes over some of the vacated space. The Martensville RCMP office, it should be noted, is still operating out of the old City Hall building.

Volunteer group looks to establish licensed childcare facility in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A non-profit group is looking to build and operate a provincially-licensed childcare facility in Warman that could accommodate up to 42 youngsters, including toddlers and infants.

Brenda Black, President of the Warman Childcare Centre (WCC), says the group has been working for the better part of a year to make their dream a reality.

“We started with a committee of volunteers in the spring of 2013,” said Black in an interview on Thursday, January 30. “We incorporated as a nonprofit corporation and have put together a business plan. This type of facility is needed. The number of young families in Warman, Martensville, Osler and the surrounding region, is growing and we need more childcare spaces.”

Black cited statistics that

show there are 770 children under 5 years of age in Warman, yet there are only 20 provincially-licensed childcare spots available in the city.

Black said the provincial government allocates annual funding for 500 childcare spaces to licensed childcare centres across the province. The funding is tied to the allocation of licensed spaces, and both allocations are made in March.

Black is hopeful the group will be allocated some licensed spaces based on their application.

Black noted that not all childcare centres are licensed, and stressed that there are many high-quality unlicensed, privately-owned and operated childcare centres in Warman and other communities.

But there are just not enough childcare spaces available, even when unlicensed facilities are included in the mix, she added. The shortage is even more acute when the

needs of parents with infants are considered. “An infant needs a lot more constant attention,” she said. “An infant is a child 18-months-old and under. But one of the problems is that most maternity leaves are only for 12 months.”

Licensed childcare centres are regulated by the provincial Ministry of Education Early Learning and Child Care Branch, and must meet specific standards for the number of caregivers per child, floor space, nutrition and other requirements. Caregivers at licensed facilities must also be certified in Early Childhood Education. Auditors regularly inspect licensed childcare centres to ensure compliance with the required standards.

Licensed childcare centres are also eligible for government funding based on their childcare space allocations and childcare subsidies are also available to some parents through a licensed facility.

A full explanation of the provincial Child Care program’s regulations and standards is available online at www.education.gov.sk.ca/ELCC .

Black said the WCC is currently fundraising to build and operate a 4,000-square foot licensed childcare centre in the City of Warman. The location for the new centre has not yet been determined, but Black said it would have 42 spaces for children, including six spots for infants. She said the centre would be open about 12 hours a day, five to six days a week, and require between seven to ten staff members, including a full-time director of care.

The estimated start-up cost of the project, she said, would be in the neighbourhood of $750,000. The operating budget would be separate, she noted, and would be based on revenue generated from fees and gov-

ernment funding.

Black said the group is optimistic the provincial government will allocate childcare spaces to the WCC. “As soon as we get allocated spaces, we will be shopping for a location and nailing down our building layout,” said Black. “We cannot start building till we get government funding. The spaces have to be allocated to us through government, and then we receive funding and a startup grant. After that we will go to the bank to secure financing, and begin construction of the building.”

Black said there will likely still be a need for more childcare spaces in Warman, Martensville and Osler, even after the WCC facility is eventually built.

“We believe even with our centre open, there will still be a need for another centre,” she

said.

FUNDRAISING DINNER

The WCC is kicking off its fundraising campaign on Thursday, March 27 with a steak dinner at the Brian King Centre in Warman. The event features rising country music star Codie Prevost.

“Codie will be unveiling his brand new album at that event,” said Black. “Codie’s a great musician and a wonderful entertainer.”

The dinner also features award-winning food.

“Darren Craddock, the Executive Chef at the Riverside Golf and Country Club, is the husband of one of our board members,” said Black. “Darren is the 2012 Saskatoon Gold Plate Winner.”

Tickets for the fundraiser are $30 for adults and $10 per child and are available by calling 306-955-4316 or 306-262-1729.

Racing with the Stars Warman students compete in annual Knights of Columbus Indoor Games

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The 49th Annual Knights of Columbus Saskatchewan Indoor Games was held at the Saskatoon Field House on January 31 and February 1. One of the goals of this event is to provide Saskatchewan youth with positive role models by having elementary school students compete in the same meet that has events featuring international track stars. The place was vibrating as hundreds of elementary students competed in the school 4x100 relays. on Friday evening.

Students from Warman Community Middle School were well represented with a combined 12 teams in the Under-11 and Under-13 groups. Of those 12 teams, eight advanced to the semi-finals on Saturday morning, and six then advanced to the Saturday afternoon’s final where the girls Under-11 team placed 5th, the Under-11 boys finished 2nd and 5th. The Under-13 girls finished 3rd and 5th. The Under-13 boys finished 4th.

Many of those students had their introduction to relays by running in the hallways of Warman Elementary School. With the opening of the Warman Community Middle School this school year the students have access to the large gyms at the Warman Legends Centre for their morning practices. Coach Shane Bachmeier, a Grade 5 teacher at the Middle School talked about how the use of these facilities have really helped the teams.

He said, “with the high number of students involved, the gyms allow students to get a large number of baton exchanges when practicing.” Bachmeier, along with teachers, Bonnie Williams, Michelle Russell, and Amanda Baudais have between 60-80 students for the morning practices. Students develop a sense of teamwork through competing in indoor events such as the Knights of Columbus Indoor Games. It is Canada’s only world-class Olympic Calibre Indoor Games. and the school relays are a special part of the event.

Hundreds of people braved cold winds and frigid temperatures to take part in the annual Martensville Winter FunFest on Saturday, February 1.

The event, which took place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre and Kinsmen Park, featured indoor children’s activities and outdoor events. The most popular outdoor site was the firepit, where people cooked hot dogs. Horse-drawn wagon rides were popular with the kids, as were the performances of Beeper the Clown. (Gazette photos

Vipers earn split in weekend games

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It was a rough and tumble style of hockey when the Sask Valley Vipers took on the Saskatoon Outlaws at Kinsmen Arena on Saturday, February 1.

Vipers defencemen Austin Shumanski made his presence known, manhandling the Outlaws in the back end, but a wrap around goal by the Outlaws’ Brendan Carey opened the scoring in the first period.

Saskatoon’s 1-0 lead was short lived when Benson Thorpe and Jax Gipman crashed the Outlaws’ net to tie the game 1-1 early in the second period.

The game turned into a bit of a back-and-forth basketball match with both teams trading goals in the second and third periods.

The Outlaws’ Noah Bazowsky gave his team a 2-1 at the close of the second period, while early in the third period

It was a goal that Delisle Chiefs goaltender Keith Boon wished he could have back.

Booon surrendered the tiebreaking goal in the dying seconds of regulation time to allow the Saskatoon Royals to skate away with a 2-1 victory on Friday, January 31.

It was a slow start for the Chiefs, who were outshot 9-3 by the Royals in the opening period, despite Ryan Fredrickson’s goal which put the Chiefs up 1-0.

The Chiefs opened up their game in the second period, getting countless shots on goal only to be foiled time and time again by Saskatoon goalie Jay Hudon The Royals fought back in the second period when Marty Ruether scored an unassisted marker to knot it up in the second period 1-1.

The Chiefs continued to pour on the shots in the third period, despite playing short-handed as a result of racking up 44 minutes in penalties. They peppered Hudon with 34 shots.

the Vipers’ Tylin Cameron kept his team’s hopes alive with a 2-2 stalemate.

After scoring a goal to put his team in the lead in the opening period, Carey decided it was only fitting to close out the game with a game-winning goal to edge the Vipers 3-2 for the win.

The Vipers travelled to Humbolt to get their scoring touch back, scoring two goals a period to double up on the Broncos 6-3.

Chance Adrian led team scoring with two goals and one assist, followed by Austin Wheeler who added three assists and Jared Hamm who had a goal and an assist.

The Vipers have two games remaining in their record breaking regular season next weekend, when they take on the Saskatoon Manics Friday, February 14 and the Saskatoon Bandits February 15. Both games will be played at the Kinsmen Arena in Saskatoon.

The Royals, meanwhile, spent 34 minutes in the sin bin during the penalty-filled contest.

It looked like the game was heading to overtime, when Tyler Hahn broke the back of the Chiefs with less than 40 seconds on the clock to seal the victory for the Purple and Black.

The Chiefs redeemed themselves on the road in Carrot River the following day with a 4-1 victory over the Tri-Town Thunder.

Michael Hugen open up the scoring for the Chiefs in the first period on a set up by Jackson Hill and Kynan Tarnowski.

The Thunder managed to make it a game when Luc Casavant knotted up the game 1-1 with just over a minute to go in the second period.

The Chiefs dominated the third period with goals from Tyson Leard, Mark Ganter and Kynan Tarnowski.

The Chiefs will head out on the road Wednesday, February 5 to take on the Quakers, then return home Friday, February 7 to face the Saskatoon Westleys at home Friday 7. Game time is 8 p.m.

Clavet storms back to win Cougar Classic

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Clavet Cougars senior men’s basketball team won their Cougar Classic tournament with a 83-69 victory over Indian Head on Saturday, February 1.

The 18-draw tournament featured high school teams from Birch Hills, Olser, Stobart, Kinistino, Warman and Indian Head.

Cougars head coach Paul McTavish said the final game was much closer than what the score indicated.

“We were down ten at the first and we managed to tie it up at the half. They were up by about six or eight after the third quarter, then we ended up winning it in the end. They won the first and third quarter and we won the second and fourth quarters.”

The Cougars’ gold medal win gives the team a 21-3 record and possibly a third place finish, depending on when the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association releases its 3A basketball school rankings in March.

The Cougars defeated Stobart

85-44 in their opening game, and then continued their dominance over Kinistino 72-51 to earn a spot in the final against Indian Head.

It was an important game to win says McTavish.

“Winning that game yesterday against Indian Head was crucial because it puts us ahead of them in the 3A rankings.”

In 19 years the Cougars have represented Clavet 19 times at provincials and won 11 titles, said McTavish.

If the Cougars win regionals this year it will mark the fourth time McTavish’s team has made

WArman sr. girls invitational basketball tournament

it to provincials in the six years he has coached them.

In 2011 the Cougars won the Hoopla Tournament and last year made it to the final only to lose to Regina Christian Academy.

“This is probably the most complete team that we have had. Last year we had a team that worked really well together,” said McTavish. “This year our Grade 12s built on what those grads from last year started. We got some grade 11 kids that are really athletic and helped us pushed us forward.

The win against Indian Head also had a personal connection.

The head coach Tim Cline is McTavish’s first cousin.

“It is interesting because we have only played Indian Head twice. It was important for us to win for rankings but also for family bragging rights,” laughs McTavish.

The Wolverines matched Moose Jaw shot for shot at the start of the game and the first quarter ended with Moose Jaw holding a slim 16-14 lead. Peacock then began to dominate rebounds and increased their lead to 39-27 at half time and eventually won 77-44. It was the second year in a row that the team from Moose Jaw has won the Invitational Tournament.

Horoscopes

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

You have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

Change is not the best idea right now. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer. Then you will have enough stability to make a change.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a long-lingering work project is a viable option

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Something doesn’t seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

You may be offered a opportunity this week that is too good to pass up. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

sudoku

CANCER June 22–

July 22

Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

LEO July 23– August 22

Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm and get a head start on your adventure.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It’s good to be original, but don’t stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

Work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21

You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

HAMMERING IT HOME

Martensville’s Lake Vista development is gearing up for a major building boom once the spring thaw arrives

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Martensville’s booming population is expected to grow even more rapidly this spring when the city’s newest neighbourhood opens up.

Lake Vista, a planned neighbourhood by North Ridge Developments located on 120 acres in the city’s northeast corner, will add 1,100 residential units to the city, boosting Martensville’s population by about 3,000 people. Currently, the population is estimated to be about 8,000.

Lake Vista will also house a major new commercial area and several multi-family condominiums, including at least two that will be tailored for seniors.

With land preparation and servicing work for Lake Vista Phase 1 virtually complete, builders are anxiously waiting for the green light to start building homes.

“We have all the underground servicing for Phase 1 complete,” said Darryl Altman, North Ridge project manager for land. “All the deep undergrounds including storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water lines are in place. We also have our shallow utilities like SaskPower, SaskEnergy, Sasktel and cable in place.

“Ninety-nine per cent of the concrete curbs and gutters are all done for Phase 1, and the roadbeds are all ready for paving in the spring. Work on Phase 2 is still going strong, and we expect to have the servicing ready soon so builders can get going.

“It’s going to be a pretty busy place,” he added. “There will be a lot of hammering here in a few weeks.”

In an interview on Wednesday, January 29 at the Lake Vista site while heavy machinery was busy moving frozen soil, Altman pointed out the construction work on the development’s centrepiece pond for Phase 1.

The massive excavation is designed to act as a reservoir for stormwater runoff and will be tied in to an underground pipeline that connects to the city’s main stormwater collection

system. A second, somewhat smaller pond in Phase 2 of the development is also under construction, and will tie into the Phase 1 pond. Both are intended to provide a recreational and visual focus to the development.

“This part of the development is all going to be landscaped this year,” said Altman.

“There will be some beautiful lots backing the pond, which will feature three fountains.”

He said the excavation work is being done during the colder months while the soil is frozen.

“In the spring, this will be full of water,” he said. “So it’s important to get this completed at this time of year.”

A pumping system will be constructed on the west end of the pond to regulate the flow of excess water into the city’s main stormwater drainage system.

“It will automatically pump out the excess water when it reaches a certain level,” explained Altman. “It’s designed so that it doesn’t cause issues downstream.”

North Ridge has several major residential developments currently on the go, including projects in Dalmeny, Clavet and Humboldt, but Altman confirmed that Lake Vista is the largest.

“It’s the biggest single development that North Ridge has ever undertaken,” he said.

The Lake Vista development, bordered on the west by 10th Avenue North and on the south

by Main Street, is slated to be built in six phases. Each of the phases will contain a variety of housing types, ranging from single-family units to multifamily residences.

Plans for the development include a system of linear parks and pathways that encourage pedestrian traffic and link residential areas with a designated commercial district in the southwest portion of the neighbourhood.

Final plans for the development were discussed at a recent Committee of the Whole meeting of Martensville City Council. At that meeting, the developer and councilors discussed park landscaping, street and sidewalk maintenance arrangements, and other details.
