Hundreds of robins returned to the Warman area on Saturday, April 19. The birds, often heralded as harbingers of spring, took advantage of berries still clinging to snow-covered branches to grab a meal after a long return flight home from their winter nesting grounds. The heavy snowfall last weekend was not unexpected, but most residents are hopeful that the warm weather will soon be here to stay, just like the robins.

CUPE Saskatchewan is seeking answers about SaskBuilds Access to Information censorship

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Saskatchewan President Tom Graham doesn’t understand the logic behind an a censored Access to Information document received from SaskBuilds, April 4.

SaskBuilds is the provincial Crown Corporation that was established to promote and oversee large-scale P3 privatization infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan.

CUPE filed its access to information request on March 6 and on April 4, received 21 pages of the document with large sections redacted (blacked out).

According to the CUPE April 16 press release, it stated that

SaskBuilds redacted large sections claiming broad exemptions under the Access to Information Law but failed to identify the exemption for each redaction which is required by legislation.

CUPE also stated that some of the redacted sections include information in the public domain which had already been posted on government websites published in other government documents or reported in the news.

“I don’t know if they made a mistake but it begs the question ‘why was it all redacted and what is behind those black lines? What is so secret?’ They are spending tax dollars on these projects,” said Graham.

In 2010 CUPE obtained brief-

ing notes from the Ministry of Education that stated, “P3s are an expensive public procurement approach because they involve higher interest rates, a more expensive bidding process, third party advisors and a profit margin.”

As a result CUPE’s Access to Information request reveals that no further briefing notes were prepared by the Ministry of Education after 2010.

“The Ministry of Education has been silent on the issue since then,” said Graham.

CUPE Saskatchewan states this is a problem because it is ignoring the advice of a government ministry, and pushing ahead with the P3 school model while not being transparent with details about P3 school

Woman taken to hospital after being struck A 40-year-old female was taken to hospital Friday evening, April 18, with serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle.

Warman RCMP report the incident happened at approximately 6:47 p.m. just north of Martensville on Highway 12 when the woman’s southbound Honda Civic slid into the west ditch. A passing motorist in a

grey Ford F150 truck pulled over to the side of the road to offer assistance. While in the ditch speaking to the Civic driver, a red Ford Windstar minivan, also southbound on Highway 12, slid on the highway and clipped the rear passenger side of the truck before entering the ditch and striking the driver of the Civic.

Martensville Fire Department assisted MD Ambulance at the scene, along with Corman Park Police Service.

RCMP continue to investigate the crash and alcohol is believed to have been a factor.

Road conditions at the time of the collision were described as very poor due to ice, snow and blowing snow.

projects that could cost the province over $100 million.

Graham said CUPE is not opposed to more schools.

The next plan of action for CUPE will be to file a Request for Review with the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner to challenge the exceptions from full disclosure claimed by SaskBuilds.

Man killed in Highway 12 collision A two-vehicle collision late Monday afternoon, April 21, has left a 29-year-old man dead.

Warman RCMP said the crash happened at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Highway 12 at the south entrance to Martensville. Investigators believe the car the victim was operating attempted to cross the highway and was struck by a northbound minivan.

The lone occupant of the car was pronounced dead at the scene. There was no word on how many people were in the minivan or if any were injured.

Police continue to investigate the cause of the collision.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2014 PG. 3

National honour roll exhibit comes to Martensville Mobile version of Rideau Hall recognizes recipients of the Order of Canada

education and also advocating generosity through his “caring moment” campaign.

The achievements of outstanding Canadians, like astronaut Chris Hadfield, are part of the display.

“Mr. Hadfield is the only Canadian to ever receive both a civilian and military honour,” said Grenier.

Grenier said learning the history of the awards so that he could conduct tours to the public was a rewarding experience. But the real benefit to the job is meeting people in virtually every corner of the country and seeing Canada from coast to coast.

“It’s a great country,” he said. “And there’s no better way to get to know it than to get to know the people who come through this exhibit wherever we stop.”

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

More than 10,000 Canadians have been inducted into the Order of Canada since it was established in 1967. Their contributions to the nation’s heritage are enshrined in an impressive display in Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

But unless you actually dropped in to Governor-General David Johnston’s palatial mansion located on 79 acres of carefully-manicured grounds on the edge of the Gatineau Hills, you wouldn’t get a true sense of who these Canadians were or what they did to deserve their country’s highest civilian honour.

Last weekend, though, a little bit of Rideau Hall arrived in Martensville, and for two days the “It’s an Honour” exhibit gave people a chance to see, touch, and experience a source of national pride.

A specially-designed semitrailer tractor unit equipped with two slide-out compartments and state-of-the art lighting, sound and electronic gadgetry brought a miniaturized version of the Rideau Hall exhibit to this area. Several classes from Martensville High School toured the display on Thursday, April 17, and the public had an opportunity to see it on Friday, April 18.

“It’s a blend of history and technology,” explained tour guide Francois Grenier, who along with a professional driver, is taking the display to thousands of small cities and towns across Canada. “The main goals of the exhibit are to educate people about the honours, and also to inspire them.”

The exhibit contains a complete database of all the people who have been awarded a medal of honour by the Canadian government. The names can be searched and displayed on a screen in the various

Students from Martensville High School (above and below) toured the “It’s an Honour” travelling exhibit on April 17 display cases. Anyone who’s ever been awarded a Victoria Cross, a Medal of Bravery, or is a member of the Order of Canada, for example, is in the database.

Grenier said the exhibit is also intended to lay some of the groundwork for Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. The last big national celebration was in 1967, when virtually every community in Canada undertook projects to mark the nation’s centennial.

“It’s important for young people to learn about their country,” said Grenier. “This exhibit celebrates people who have stepped forward during times of crisis and showed great bravery and courage by saving someone’s life, for example, or who have inspired others through their commitment to high ideals.”

The exhibit tour started July 31, 2013 and is scheduled to end in the summer of 2015.

So far it has visited communities in the Northwest Territo-

ries, Yukon, BC and Alberta.

Its swing through Saskatchewan ends at the end of April and it travels through Manitoba and Ontario before winding up for the season this fall.

Its schedule in the spring and summer of 2015 takes it to Atlantic Canada and Quebec.

The exhibit was funded by a grant from the Taylor Family Foundation of Calgary.

“In 2011, Donald John Taylor was awarded the Order of Canada for his philanthropy,” explained Grenier. “He was given the award at a ceremony at Rideau Hall, and that was the first time he saw what was on display there. He felt it was important for every Canadian to have the opportunity to see this, so he’s paying the shot.”

The exhibit explains the role of the Governor-General as the Queen’s representative in Canada, and the Canadian Parliamentary process.

Grenier noted the Governor-General is encouraging young Canadians to pursue

Financing for the future

Land sales allow Warman to finance capital projects

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

NEW PROJECTS The Legends Centre was a major project in Warman

LAND SALES FUEL BOOM

Hack said over the last six or seven years, the City of Warman’s investment in core infrastructure, recreation facilities and other capital projects has been paid for in large part through the sale of development land as the city expanded.

“If you look at the number and type of amenities that Warman has, like the Legends Centre, the Public Works Service and Parks , from a purely theoretical standpoint, we should have some of the highest property taxes in Saskatchewan with the amount of services we’re getting,” said Hack.

“But the fact that we’re $69 below the provincial average, that’s pretty impressive.

“A big reason we’ve been able to do all this development is due to land sales,” he continued. “Over the last six or seven years, we’ve done $15 to $17 million in land sales to developers.”

Hack said that Warman council and administration “made some pretty smart and strategic investments in past years in land, and we’ve seen the results of those smart investments in the great amenities we have now. .”

But that rich source of revenue isn’t going to last forever, added Hack.

“The city doesn’t own any more land that it can sell,” said Hack. “We have to look at other revenue streams in order to budget sustainably.”

Hack said total non-tax revenue for the city of Warman in 2014 will amount to $13.5 million. Total operating expenses, meanwhile, amount to $14.7 million. That deficit of $1.2 million in operating expenses has to be made up through taxation. There are also capital expenditures that have to be factored in.

“The question that city council had to tackle during the budget process was how to adjust capital spending now that the advantage of land sales has come to an end,” said Hack.

between 2009 and 2012 showed that Warman spent $1,282 per capita annually during that period on capital investments.

“The Saskatchewan average was $970 per capita per year on capital projects,” said Hack.

“So over the last four years, Warman was 33 per cent higher than the provincial average.

It makes sense that we were on the higher side since we’re one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Canada.”

Hack added that over the last couple of years, the city has also dipped into its savings and reserves to finance essential capital projects.

“We used $4.26 million of savings and reserves from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2014,” said Hack. “That’s not necessarily a bad thing. We’ve been collecting off-site development fees to fund our future growth for years, so the appropriate action now is to spend that savings to facilitate this rapid development with roadways, utilities and other essential services. ” He pointed to the widening and expansion of Centennial Boulevard, as well as construction of an additional lift station as examples of essential infrastructure.

“But obviously, it’s not a sustainable trend to spend $4 million more than you take in on an annual basis,” he said.

In 2012, Warman’s capital budget was $15.1 million. In 2013, its capital budget was $10.5 million. This year, it’s projected to be $8.1 million.

“Based on a rough analysis of the Saskatchewan average, and based on our reserves, I estimate a sustainable capital budget would be in the $7.5 to $8.5 million range as we grow and collect off-site development fees,” said Hack. “We’ve been aggressive and strategic with recreation and development projects. Centennial Boulevard is a $5 to $7 million roadway connecting us to the new Highway 305, and the Legends Cen-

Hack said the city tried to find a fair balance between the need for more capital and operating funds, and the ability of

ratepayers to handle a tax increase. He said a tax hike of under 4 per cent was deemed to be fair.

“We have a $3.8 million water reservoir expansion that needs to happen in 2015, as well as an estimated $850K for our share of the proposed Opimihaw Creek drainage project in 2016 that we have to budget for,” he said. “Central Street upgrades will cost about $3.6 million over the next five years.”

The new Warman cemetery will cost about $500,000 over the next couple of years, he said, adding there is a growing need for a storm pond expansion, upgrades to Prairie Oasis Park and three sets of traffic

lights that will cost about a million dollars.

“We’re not sure exactly where those lights will be situated yet,” said Hack. “Because traffic flow patterns will likely change once the new Highway 305 is completed, and there’s likely to be more traffic on Centennial Boulevard, so it makes sense to do a traffic study later on to determine the best place to situate those lights. But the bottom line is there will likely be some traffic lights installed at some point in the future.”

The city will be undertaking a five-year plan for capital projects, and also setting aside specific funds into reserves for specific projects.

Residential and commercial property taxes in Warman are well below the provincial average, even after this year’s tax hike is taken into account, says City of Warman Finance Manager Clae Hack.

The City of Warman passed its 2014 budget last week.

In an interview on Thursday, April 17, Hack said the average Saskatchewan taxpayer in 2013 paid $3,250 in property taxes on a home assessed at $350,000.

For Warman residents with a home assessed at $350,000, the tax bill was $3,175.

“So we are actually $69 cheaper on a provincial basis when it comes to comparing homes that are assessed at the same value,” said Hack. “We’re comparing apples to apples if the homes are the same value.”

Even after a 3.65 per cent increase in residential property taxes slated to come into effect in 2014, Warman residents will still be paying less than the provincial average.

“On a home in Warman assessed at $350,000, that’s about a $73 increase.

Saskatoon is raising taxes by 7.26 per cent this year, and that translates into an increase of about $126 on a Saskatoon home assessed at $350,000.”

It’s the same story with commercial property, said Hack, noting that Warman consistently has among the lowest municipal commercial tax rates in the province.

“The average Saskatchewan tax on a commercial property assessed at $500,000 was $11,873 in 2013,” said Hack.

“In Warman, the tax rate was $8,480.”

He noted that while Saskatoon, Martensville and Warman are booming, commercial taxation levels in these centres is lower than other urban centres in Saskatchewan.

“For a $500,000 commercial property, the annual tax bill for Warman, Martensville and Saskatoon is right around the $8,500 mark,” said Hack.

“Everywhere else in the province you’re looking at $10,000 or $15,000 annually for a commercial business with that assessment.”

Warman’s commercial property tax is increasing by 3.49 per cent. On a commercial property assessed at $500,000, the tax increase for 2014 amounts to about $ $149.

Hack obtained the provincial average by analyzing taxation rates for 14 different municipalities across Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon, Martensville, Regina, Prince Albert, Yorkton, Humboldt, and Swift Current.

tre is a $23 million recreation facility. Those are huge projects for a community of this size.”

He noted that if Warman didn’t have the advantage of land sales to pay for these and other projects, the city would be about $13 or $14 million in debt. “That just shows how big a factor those land sales have been and how well Council and Administration planned for the growth,” he said. “We’re in a very positive situation right now financially.”

HEPBURN

New summer market venture aims to provide community focus

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

An outdoor summer market slated for Saturday afternoons in Hepburn hopes to attract good-size crowds this year.

Janet Hamilton, one of the organizers of the Hepburn Marketplace, says the new venture is aimed at offering a little something for everybody.

The market, which will be set up outdoors on a street in the shadow of the histor-

ic Wheat Pool elevator that houses the town’s Museum of Wheat, will kick off on Saturday, May 17 and run until August 30.

“It’s open to everyone,” said Hamilton in a recent interview. “It’s technically not a farmers market because we’re opening it up to all businesses and trades. There will be home-grown vegetables and baking and crafts and stuff you’d normally see at a farmers market, but it’s not limited

to that.”

She said the market will provide a spot for vendors for $10 per day, or $60 for the season, and they can offer whatever they have to sell. Many vendors are already committed to the full 16 weeks from Victoria Day to Labour Day. “It’s really a brand new venture for all of us,” said Hamilton. “We’re kind of flying by the seat of our pants, but we thought, ‘why not give it a try?

What have we got to lose? It

LANGHAM

Organizers confident about vendor participation in farmers market

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Langham is confident its farmers market will have six full-time vendors when the season opens this spring.

The town started the push to develop a farmers market last summer and attracted four vendors, for a short season of two and a half months, said Nicole McLaren, councilor for the Town of Langham, who leads up the Culture, Parks and Recreation portfolio.

McLaren said her goal is to provide a variety of goods and healthy options for people in Langham.

McLaren said this year the town provided itself more time to get the message out to local vendors who want to participate.

“We have a little more time to do a little more advertising so we put something in our newsletter, website and newspaper ads this year,” said McLaren.

McLaren said combined with last year’s vendors she expects about 13 in total, made up of crafts persons and bakers.

She is in talks with two local Hutterite colonies to see if they are interested in participating, which will add a produce component to the market.

Growing up in Vancouver, McLaren said farmers markets were a big part of her life with so much available produce from the Okanagan Valley.

McLaren said farmers markets can play an important role in a community.

“I think if farmers markets can operate in a cooperative fashion they can provide an opportunity for community members to get together and provide a service or need that the community has an interest in,” said McLaren.

McLaren said people have expressed interest in Langham’s farmers market from Borden, Dalmeny and

Saskatoon.

This season the farmers market will possibly move to a new location if the town decides to build a gazebo in a park outside of town.

The old location was along Highway 11 in the parking lot of a Shell Gas Station.

“We definitely want to keep it along main roads,” said McLaren. “We tend to target a lot of week day traffic when people are coming home from work.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2014 PG. 6

Community newspapers a blend of tradition and technology

COMMENTARY

Earlier this month, the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association (SWNA) held its annual conference. The Clark’s Crossing Gazette earned nine awards this year to add to the other 35 plaques and certificates the paper has been honoured with since 2010, its first year of eligibility after becoming a full-fledged member of the SWNA in 2009.

That adds up to a total of 44 awards in five years, and we’re very proud of that accomplishment because we take a lot of pride in the product we produce. As an independent, locally-owned and operated community newspaper, we strive to be an accurate, timely and reliable source of news, sports and entertainment; as well as a professional, cost-effective and attractive advertising vehicle for businesses, local governments and nonprofit organizations.

But the most important award for this newspaper is the overwhelming support we receive from the communities we serve. When the Clark’s Crossing Gazette began as a one-man operation in 2008, it was well-received, but it took a few years for the paper to become very firmly established.

The Gazette has now reached a circulation of nearly 18,000 copies every week, with an estimated readership of about 40,000, and is circulated to every household in every community within a 60 kilometer radius of Saskatoon. The owners of the company that publish the Gazette recently purchased the Sask Valley News in Rosthern because they strongly believe in the importance of community newspapers.

The reason why people read their local community newspaper today is the same reason people read their local papers a century ago, when the SWNA first became organized as an association of independent publishers. They want to be informed and entertained. Balanced coverage through well-written stories is a hallmark of a good newspaper. It was true decades ago and it’s true today. We use computers now instead of lead type, but the basic process of putting it all together every week is the same. And we do this because we feel it’s important. Plus, it’s kind of fun, too.

Rurals need to share good economic news

For all the talk about the Saskatchewan economy slowing down, it sure doesn’t look that way of late.

Consider the good news that

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

just keeps rolling in: Employment numbers for March suggest Saskatchewan had the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for the 15th consecutive month; a mere 4.5-per cent unemployment that’s well below the national average of 6.9 per cent.

Moreover, the number of people working in Saskatchewan hit 522,000 in March; including a record 445,700 full-time employed people. In fact, for an amazing 28 months in a row now, we have seen year-overyear job numbers increase.

The government press release announcing the good news earlier this month also pointed to strong increases in specific occupations in the past five years.

Since March 2009, construction jobs have increased 41 per cent

(13,500 new jobs); professional, scientific and technical jobs have increased by 36 per cent (7,500 new jobs); and transportation and warehouse jobs grew by 17 per cent (4,100 new jobs).

The ongoing employment numbers were quickly followed by news that Saskatchewan manufacturing saw a 12.8 per cent increase in sales over February 2013; $1.37 billion in overall sales.

By comparison with other provinces, this was the second highest year-over-year growth rate and almost four times the national average of 3.3 per cent.

But with a resource-based economy like ours, even such good numbers need to be viewed with two important questions in mind: “Can we expect this good news to continue?” and “Is this growth and economic success being relatively evenly distributed throughout the province?”

Both questions are particularly critical for rural Saskatchewan, that can now add its struggles in getting a bumper crop to market to a long-standing list of economic and growth frustrations.

On the manufacturing front, one would hope that rural Sas-

katchewan is holding its own, considering some of the true success stories are in agriculture-based industries.

The government’s statistics show that food manufacturing increased 19.8 per cent to $304 million in the past year while machinery manufacturing increased 8.6 per cent to $141 million. For smaller cities and towns that house many of these manufacturing industries, this is good news.

That said, such largely rural-based manufacturing only represents about a quarter of the total $1.37 billion in manufacturing, suggesting that urban enterprises are getting the lion’s share of this recent success.

The same can be said for our job growth.

For example, if one looks at those areas that have vastly improved in the past five years: construction, professional, scientific and technical jobs and transportation and warehouse; most of that work is located in the cities. Similarly, the largest industry employment gains in the past year were in utilities, transportation and warehousing, finance, insurance and real estate and accommodation and

food services. Many of these would also be city-based jobs.

Specific to the bigger cities, Regina’s employment increased by 2,100 jobs and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 5,400 jobs in March compared with a year earlier. This is great news for the cities and Regina’s unemployment rate of 3.7 per cent was the lowest unemployment rate of any metropolitan area in Canada.

But there’s little doubt the two biggest cities are still gobbling up most of the jobs and growth.

Meanwhile, good-paying rural jobs in rural Saskatchewan are still subject to the whims of the resource sector or often involve public service where taxpayers are increasingly demanding less employment.

Admittedly, a high tide floats all boats, so the entire province is doing better because of this ongoing surge. Even off-reserve aboriginal employment continues to grow …although unemployment on rural reserves remains stagnate.

That said, most of Saskatchewan’s good economic news seems to be coming out of the cities. And that may be a problem.

Reader Opinions No guarantee Fortune Minerals plant will supply cobalt market In last week’s Clark’s Crossing Gazette, on page 27, there was a news item from Fortune minerals.

This item appeared to be a corporate news release, with no by-line.

In it the company talked about Tesla Motors’ building of a new battery plant. It went on to presume that Fortune COULD supply cobalt to this facility.

There was no suggestion that there was even a conversation between the two companies, just a possibility.

When Tesla looks at Fortune Minerals’ proposed project in Langham, I think they would find it lacking in the areas of “lowest environmental impact possible” when considering the large distances of train ship-

ping, and the prime reason that Fortune wants a mill in Saskatchewan: low electricity rates, subsidized by Saskatchewan ratepayers, and mainly generated by coal-fired plants.

Almost half of Saskatchewan’s electricity is used by large customers, who pay at 4.5 cents per kWh, and these uses contribute in the largest way to our greenhouse gas footprint- the most in Canada per capita.

Surely a modern, forward -looking company with an environmental vision such as Tesla will easily see what this proposed plant will contribute in carbon and look elsewhere for its supply.

As should we .

It’s time to get serious about providing long-term care for seniors When I was young my father always told me to respect my elders. He usually told me this lesson when I was doing something I shouldn’t.

It usually happened when I would not give up my seat for a relative when they were visiting.

As I am now much older I remember the importance of that lesson, but it seems not everybody is on the same page.

The annual budget decreases in senior care at the provincial and federal levels paint a pretty desolate picture.

According to a 2011 Health Care in Canada report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, fewer dollars are earmarked for seniors’ health care every year.

The report states: “In 1998, total provincial and territorial government per capita health expenditure on Canadians age 65 and older ($6,374) was five

times greater than that for adults age 20 to 64 ($1,282).”

This health expenditure spending dropped sharply between 2004 and 2009, according to the report.

The report also stated that expenditures on institutions other than hospitals (such as long-term care institutions) was actually declining.

In a 2012 C.D. Howe institute Long-Term Care for the Elderly: Challenges and Policy Options report, it stated that the old age dependency rate was 7.3 per cent in 2010 and will increase to 13.1 per cent by 2050.

we going to pay for it?

NDP leader Cam Broten has been the Saskatchewan government’s harshest critic since becoming the Official Opposition leader in 2013.

Broten’s largest criticism of the Saskatchewan Party government’s handling of seniors’ care stems from the treatment and lack of services provided to seniors living in long term care facilities.

In March, Broten introduced a private member’s bill that would have the provincial government establish minimum standards for seniors in longterm care.

The bill would see each care home in the province governed by a charter that would guarantee dignity, respect and safety.

But should we trust the NDP any more than the Saskatchewan Party government?

During the last provincial

election the NDP stated that they would expand seniors’ housing and build 750 affordable housing units as well as create another 750 long-term care beds.

This is the same party that closed 1,200 long-term care beds during their 16 years in office.

To give Broten some credit, he is not wrong in sharing horror stories of how seniors are treated in long term care facilities.

I know this because my significant other used to work for one.

She would tell me stories of managers verbally abusing residents, which was an every day occurrence.

The writing is really on the wall when it comes to the importance of seniors care in this province and across Canada.

We need to move toward solving the problem instead of simply talking it to death.

Warman High School scholarships help grads pursue higher education

In addition to receiving a tax deduction, businesses and individuals who make contributions to the fund are recognized in a number of ways, noted Bayne.

“Donors are honoured with a breakfast at the school where they are publicly thanked by students and teachers, their

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With an average of more than 40 graduates going on to university or technical school every year, the Warman High School (WHS) scholarship program helps make post-secondary education accessible and affordable.

That’s the message Tanner Bayne and Mykaela Mennie brought to a breakfast gathering on Wednesday, April 16 for civic and business people that have contributed to this year’s WHS scholarship fund.

“My dream is to go to the University of Saskatchewan this fall,” said Bayne, a Grade 12 student at WHS and a member of the school’s Student Representative Council (SRC). “But with tuition being quite expensive, a lot of students, myself included, count on scholarships to cover the cost of post-secondary education.”

Mykaela Mennie, who is also in Grade 12 at WHS, said it’s a “huge relief” to have access to scholarships.

“It takes a lot of weight off your shoulders to know that people in your own community are backing you up,” she said.

The WHS scholarship program was implemented 19 years ago. Like the community, it’s grown a lot, particularly in the last seven or eight years.

“We started out with a fund of just $1,000. That worked out to four scholarships that were each worth $250,” said WHS Principal Michael Collins.

“We’re at a point now where we have about 40 students every year who go on to some type of post-secondary schooling, and every one of them receives a scholarship of at least $500.”

Collins said financial contributions to the WHS scholarship

fund have steadily increased over the years, and are currently in the range of about $40,000 annually.

Collins said the scholarships are an important vehicle for students to use as they continue their “educational journey.”

Susan Bayne, a teacher and guidance counsellor at WHS is the coordinator of the scholarship program. She said last year a total of 44 students received funds to offset their tuition costs.

“The minimum scholarship amount is $500, and the maximum is usually about $2,000,” said Bayne. “It depends on the number of graduates, their average marks and several other factors.”

The scholarships can be applied toward any type of postsecondary studies, she noted, adding it doesn’t necessarily have to be university.

“As long as they are pursuing higher education at a rec-

ognized public or private institution, that is the goal of the program,” she said. “It can be university, technical college, business college, Bible school or a trade school.”

Bayne said last year there were a total of 51 contributors to the scholarship fund. That included civic, business and private donations. While donors can indicate their preference for the type of studies a scholarship receipient may pursue, the school makes the final decision on which students receive scholarships and the amounts to each recipient.

Having a single general scholarship fund makes it more accessible to students, who only have to fill out a single application form, said Bayne.

“Rather than having to apply for 51 separate scholarships, they only apply once,” she said.

“Their name goes into the mix for every scholarship. In the end we figure out what makes

‘A REALLY COOL BUILD’ The $10 million Martensville Athletic Pavilion utilizes cuttingedge construction techniques

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

When Hurricane Katrina plowed a path of destruction across the southern United States in the fall of 2005, every building in a 20-square mile arear aound Buras, Louisiana, was levelled.

Every building, that is, but one.

Amazingly, a single fabriccovered structure survived intact. The tension-membraned building designed by Sprung Structures not only weathered the powerful storm, but proved that flexible, strongly-anchored, energy-efficient tension-membrane buildings are a viable alternative to conventional steel buildings.

The new $10 million Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) taking shape near the Martensville High School utilizes that same Sprung tensionmembrane design for its exterior.

But that’s only half the story. On the inside, the building uses cross-laminated timber (CLT) products for its walls. floors and ceilings. Developed in Europe in the 1990s, CLT panels provide increased stability and strength because they use multiple layers of wood, with each layer oriented crosswise to the next. CLT is ideal for long spans, and because it can be prefinished, pre-cut and pre-drilled with incredible precision, it helps reduce the cost of labour onsite.

The exterior and interior of the MAP also share a common principle. In both contruction systems, the individual elements are pre-engineered to fit together seamlessly and quickly.

Provided you put everything toether properly. That’s where the real challenge comes in.

And that challenge is exactly what attracted Ben Bauce of Alfred Horie Construction (AHC) to take on the job of project manager for the massive building that contains a 140foot open span complete with an Olympic-sized oval running track and a gymnasium that ac-

commodates three full-size basketball courts.

The challenge of combining two cutting-edge construction techniques in one building was a big draw for Bauce.

“This is a really cool build,” said Bauce in an interview during a tour of the building on Monday, April 14. “It’s the first type of build KAYLA DMYTERKO | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE like this in North America, and as a (Top photo) A worker makes adjustments to the ceiling of the Martensville Athletic young construction Pavilion’s 140-foot clear span (Left) Project Manager Ben Bauce professional I wanted possible. to be part of it.

Quick response to Warman residential fire prevents major damage

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A fire at a residential home on Centennial Boulevard in Warman around noon on Wednesday, April 16 was extinguished before it did significant damage.

Four members of the Warman Fire Department (WFD) responded to the call.

They used a pumper truck to spray foam on the fire, which started at the front door of the residence and was beginning to spread along the floorboards inside the home.

Two people who were home at the time of the incident were not injured and were able to exit the buiding before the firefighters arrived, Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin said the cause of the fire appeared to be a cigarette which was not disposed of properly. The cigarette had been dropped between a concrete front step and the foundation of the house, where it smouldered along with other discarded butts and eventually ignited the wooden floor joists.

Austin said the alarm was called in when someone smelled smoke. The floorboards around the front door were removed to access the fire. Firefighters sprayed the fire with foam to extinguish it.

“We were able to put it out in about ten minutes,” said Austin. “The damage was kept to a minimum, which was fortunate.”

He noted that if the fire had started at night, it could have been much more serious.

Former Whitecap manager back in court The former business manager of the Whitecap Dakota First Nation is facing additional charges.

Sgt. Matt Peggs of the RCMP Integrated Organized Crime North unit said Hugo Gallegos was scheduled to appear in Saskatoon court on the morning of Tuesday, April 22 to face additional charges in relation to a theft from Whitecap Dakota First Nation.

Gallegos will be facing 4 additional charges of: Theft over $5000 sec. 334(a) of the Criminal Code; Fraud over $5000 sec. 380 (1) (a) of the Criminal Code; Possession of the Proceeds of Crime over $5000 sec. 354 (1) (a) of the Criminal Code; Laundering the Proceeds of Crime sec. 462.31 of the Criminal Code.

These offences occurred between January 2009 and July of 2013.

Members of the RCMP’s Integrated Organized Crime North are continuing their investigation into this matter.

The fire was the third emergency call in two days for the Warman Fire Department.

Austin said on Tuesday, April 15, two calls were received within half an hour of each other.

The first call came in at 2:30 p.m. from a commercial property which reported a natural gas leak.

“On arrival, it was discovered a line was hit by a contractor, but there was no danger as SaskEnergy was immediately on scene to repair the line,” said Austin.

“The owners were able to contain the fire util crews arrived,” said Austin. “Fire crews discovered fire inside the wall and ceiling areas using a Thermal Imaging Camera, and re-

moved sections of wall and ceiling for extinguishment.”

Damage to the shop is estimated at $20,000. The cause of the fire was traced to an electrical malfunction.

Osler School offers classic take on Cinderella

By KAYLA DMYTERKO

kayladmyterko@gmail.com

Everybody knows, and loves, the tale of Cinderella. It’s been around for a long time, but the version most people are familiar with is Walt Disney’s animated classic.

So it was a real treat to see how the students at Osler School were able to capture the spirit of Mr. Disney’s musical fairy tale in their recent performance of Cinderella.

The school musicals are staged every two years, and this one was definitely worth the wait.

On the outside, it looked like the Osler School. But once you got inside, you could see the fairy godmother and her helpers had done their handiwork with the magic wands. The layout of the stage was more than magical, with a backdrop that looked just like a castle with dark brick walls. That was an eye-catcher, and if the set was this good, the play was bound to be really amazing.

The young actors worked well together, and you could tell there was a good chemistry onstage.

The narrator (Emma Mitchell) performs a key role by introducing the story and the

characters. The Mice (the K-6 choir) began with an upbeat song, “Beautiful As You” that set the tone for what was to come.

Katherine Allaby was wellcast as Cinderella, a poor but beautiful girl who lives with her stepmother, played with a nice nasty touch by Jasmine Janzen and her two equally-nasty step-sisters Anastasia (Taylor White) and Drusella (Raelyn Reimer). This trio force poor Cinderella to do all the drudgery work, cooking and cleaning for them while them. When Cinderella receives a letter from the palace inviting her stepsisters and her to a fancy ball hosted by the Prince (played by the dashing and handsome Reese Trohak), it seems like a dream come true for her. But of course, her stepsisters don’t want the lovely Cinderella to go, so they rip up her beautiful pink dress that her talented mice friends sewed. A fairy godmother comes to the rescue, of course, and Cinderella is the hit of the ball. She loses her glass slipper when she has to make a quick getaway at midnight or risk having to ride home in a pumpkin instead of a fancy carriage.

The forlorn Prince is, predictably, heartbroken when his

(Top) Gus and Jaq, two of the mice, and Lucifer, the cat in the Osler School production of Cinderella. (Right) Cinderella (Katherine Allaby) and the Prince (Reese Trohak) in a scene from the play. (Photos submitted by Tamara Milnthorp) beautiful date leaves him in the lurch.

Thankfully, the Grand Duke (David Thiessen) searches doggedly door-to-door and eventually finds Cinderella. She and the Prince get hitched, and they all live happily ever after. Except for the villains, who get their just desserts, of course.

The directors did an amazing job coaching the student-actors, choir and stagehands. Every scene change was smooth,

the lighting was magical, the dresses were beyond exquisite, and the animal costumes were imaginative and unique.

Too bad the next musical won’t come along for another couple of years. We’re looking forward to it when it does arrive.

Langham’s Prairie Players gearing up for musical story of Little Orphan Annie

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Daddy Warbucks will be coming to Langham when the Prairie Players open their summer performance of Little Orphan Annie, June 19.

It is the third production the group has put together since moving to Langham from Blaine Lake in 2011.

Gillian Pearson, founder and musical director with Prairie Players, said the group chose Annie because it was well known and could be staged with a relatively tight budget.

The cast which includes mostly children with a handful of adults playing the roles started rehearsing in January.

Pearson said the play is slowly coming together.

“The kids are fantastic but the adults need to learn their lines,” laughed Pearson. “The kids could put the play on next week if they wanted to.”

Alex King (Annie) left, Chloe Nixon and Ava Johnson rehearse Little Orphan Annie’s opening musical number, ‘Hard Knock Life.’

JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Since 2011 Prairie Players has staged productions of Peter Pan, Aladdin and Cabaret numbers, and in a couple of weeks will be debuting their version of Beauty and the Beast, which

will be cast by members of the Prairie Players summer school program.

Last year the group had 12 local kids participate. This year that number has grown to 25.

Pearson said her goal is to build the reputation of her theatre group in Langham and in surrounding communities.

“There is a lot of emphasis on sport in Langham and res-

idents are grudgingly becoming aware that the performing arts is really good for self-confidence. She said for some kids that don’t like sports, why not try theatre?

Having more boys involved in her theatre group would be a huge bonus for future expanded productions, said Pearson.

“The next production I would like to do is a play called Hope and Glory. I need lots of boys.

It is set in WWII in London. I need a girls and boys gang.”

In the three years Prairie Players has been established in Langham, Pearson said the community has embraced it positively.

She has been asked by officials at both Langham Elementary and W.W. Brown High School to set up choir and theatre groups to fill extracurricular arts voids at both schools.

The Town of Langham has also asked for her assistance with providing entertainment

for a Christmas dinner for its public servants.

As an Educational Assistant at Langham Elementary School Pearson encourages people to get involved in her productions.

Pearson said in time she would love to have a professional studio space for her play productions and choirs, but said she doesn’t want her enthusiasm for theatre to overwhelm local residents.

“I am really enthusiastic but I don’t want to scare people away by being too in their face,” said Pearson. “I am sure in time when people think of the name Prairie Players they will know who we are.”

Langham is unique in that it is one of very few communities in the province to host two amateur theatre groups.

The Langham Threatrical Company, directed by Sela Balzer, stages an annual sold out performance every autumn.

Smoke alarms can save the lives of those you love Submitted by

RUSS AUSTIN

Deputy Fire Chief Warma Fire Dpartment

All dwelling units where people sleep need smoke alarms.

Smoke alarms came about many years ago primarily to alert sleeping occupants that there was a fire in their residence. Standards have changed over time, as has the technology that goes into these alarms.

Remember the smoke alarms in the 1970s that would go off when you had a shower? They have come a long way since then!

If you have a house built after 2011 you will have smoke alarms in each sleeping room, and in a location like a hallway between the sleeping rooms and the rest of the storey of the house. This is dictated by the national building code.

Also, each level of your house will have smoke alarms wired to the hallway alarm so when one alarms, they all alarm.

Lastly, each level of your house will have a carbon monoxide (CO) detector as well.

These can be on their own or an all-in-one smoke and CO detector per floor.

Houses built before 2010-2011 will have a smoke alarm on every level and within 12 feet

of the bedrooms. All of these alarms will be interconnected.

As the age of the house goes up the smoke alarm standards go down. But we want you to be safe, so let’s change that!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: • Ensure you at least have a smoke detector near your sleeping rooms in the hallway. If your house wasn’t built with one, buy a battery one. They are about $12.00 each.

• Test your detectors every month. If you are a landlord you must document this. It’s the law in Saskatchewan.

• Look at the back of the detectors you have by rotating them counter-clockwise and pulling it down.

They have an expiry date, which is usually 6 years. Replace the detector as needed.

Big hint: if you look up and the detector is off white or yellow, it is likely expired!

• Test them on every level and have a family member listen for the beep on the other levels if you have a house built in the last 15 years or so. All the detectors should beep when tested.

• Have at least one CO detector in your home on the main level.

• Replace your batteries ev-

ery year. Even in hard-wired detectors there is a battery.

• If you don’t like changing batteries, some new detectors have a 10-year battery built in!

• Never paint over, disable, or place anything over your detector. Vent holes should be dust free and clean. Most cities and towns have bylaws for this, so be aware.

FIRE SAFETY PLAN

Make sure everyone in your home has two ways out if there is a fire! There are reasons for this. Imagine a fire at night. How does everyone get out? What if the first way is blocked? Do your kids know how to open their windows and climb out? Do they have a way to ground level? Discuss it as a family but not as a scare tactic. Do it in a way so everyone is comfortable. Talk about what to do if something goes wrong and where to meet outside.

And also, be sure to practice your plan!

Contact your Local Fire Department if you have questions. We all are happy to help.

Physical TheraPy

y t u a e B Your ion

You’re PaYing for it anYwaY

Most people with private health plans will have physical therapy included in their coverage. Unfortunately many people with aches and pains never seek treatment, despite having this benefit in their plan. A major hurdle for people can be finding time to see their doctor, however, in Saskatchewan you may come directly for physical therapy without a doctor’s referral. It is as simple as calling to book an appointment with any type of physical concern. You may streamline the physiotherapy process for anything ranging from pain, stiffness, weakness, or even dizziness. Reflect on anytime your knees hurt when you were on stairs, or had pain in your shoulder when reaching, or if you have ever had a stiff neck or painful lower back. You could have had that problem addressed within a day or two, completely covered under your health plan. The key is not to delay, you’re probably paying for it anyway!

Tips from the Mayo Clinic on how physical activity can boost your overall well-being

By MAYO CLINIC STAFF

The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Resaerch www.mayoclinic.org

You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, find out how exercise can improve your life.

Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than exercise. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. And the benefits of exercise are yours for the taking, regardless of your age, sex or physical ability. Need more convincing to exercise?

Check out these seven ways exercise can improve your life.

No. 1.

Exercise controls weight Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don’t need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits. If you can’t do an actual workout, get more active throughout the day in simple ways — by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or revving up your household chores.

No. 2.

Exercise combats health conditions and diseases Worried about heart disease?

Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight, being active boosts highdensity lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides.

This onetwo

punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.

No. 3.

Exercise improves mood Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

No. 4.

Exercise boosts energy Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy to go about your daily chores.

No. 5.

Exercise promotes better sleep Struggling to fall asleep? Or to stay asleep? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. Just don’t exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to fall asleep.

No. 6.

Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life

Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can leave you

feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life. But there’s more to it than that.

Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don’t exercise.

No. 7.

Exercise can be fun Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend some time. It gives you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.

So, take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. If you get bored, try something new.

The bottom line on exercise Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you haven’t exercised for a long time, have chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or arthritis, or you have any concerns.

Play brings school, community together

By KAYLA DMYTERKO

kayladmyterko@gmail.com

Building on a long tradition of thirteen successful musical stage productions was a challenge for the directors of Cinderella, but Tamara Milnthorp and Audrey Kampen were happy to take it on.

Milnthorp is a teacher at Osler Elementary School and Kampen is the Principal. They noted that this is actually the second time around for the Cinderella script. The first production took place back in 1999.

“Grade 7 to 9 students were the actors performing on stage, while the Kindergarten to Grade 6 students were our choir,” said Milnthorp in an interview.

“We have an auditioning committee,” added Kampen.

“Students get to audition, and we pick from those who try out for a part.”

The set was designed by Joanne Banman of Osler.

Kampen said students have been practicing for this production since they received their parts just before the February school break.

“We started practicing officially during the first week of March,” said Milnthorp.

She added that the students who participate in the production benefit by getting a sense of accomplishment from a job well done.

“With hard work you achieve success,” said Milnthorp. “Most of these kids here have put in a lot of time to learn their parts, working as a team. They learn responsibility by taking care of their props. Everybody has a role, if they want it.”

A total of 270 students were involved in the production.

For the production, over 40 ballroom dresses were donated from a dress shop in Saskatoon to the school, and people from the community volunteered to help sew and alter the dresses.

“Our rip-away dress from the original Cinderella production

Cinderella in her coach with her coachman, footman and horses (Photo submitted by Tamara Milnthorp) fourteen years ago was re-used in this musical,” said Kampen.

Most of the materials used to build the set were obtained locally, and didn’t cost a cent, according to Milnthorp.

“The cardboard made the bricks, the curtains are just do-

nations we have gotten for our school,” she said. “The majority is just re-used from musicals we’ve had in the past.”

The choir’s favourite song was the finale, entitled “What dreams are made of.”

School Community Councils A primary link between home, community and school School Community Councils (SCC) support student learning and encourage parent and community involvement and engagement at the school level.

Parents and community members are encouraged to participate in the work of the local SCC.

SCC elections for all Prairie Spirit schools will be held between:

Monday, May 5 and Friday, May 16, 2014 Contact your local school for its election date and for more details, including the number of positions open for election.

Saskatchewan’s oldest building preserved for future Holy Trinity Anglican Church, a Provincial Heritage Property and National Historic Site located at Stanley Mission in Lac La Ronge Provincial Park, now has an upgraded roof and foundation, thanks to a cost-sharing agreement between the Government of Saskatchewan and the Government of Canada.

The church, completed in 1860, is the oldest standing building in Saskatchewan and a well-known landmark for travellers along the Churchill River.

“For more than 150 years, Holy Trinity Anglican Church has been a treasured place of worship and a significant heritage asset for our province,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. “The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to invest in this property and is appreciative of the federal government’s contribution. Part of our government’s mandate is to conserve Saskatchewan’s natural and cultural resources through provincial parks. In addition to teaching us about Saskatchewan’s history, this church at-

tracts visitors to Lac La Ronge Provincial Park.”

The Government of Canada contributed $100,000 to the 2013-14 one-year project – the maximum amount available from the National Historic Sites CostSharing Program. The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport committed the matching amount of $100,000, plus an additional $130,000. A total of $330,000 has been committed for this important preservation work.

“Our government encourages Canadians to develop strong and meaningful connections with Canada’s national treasures,” said Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada Leona Aglukkaq. “Our national historic sites are vital to our history, our identity as Canadians, and our tourism industry. By investing in them and by building lasting relationships with the community groups that operate them, we ensure that they will continue to help support local economies and encourage more Canadians to explore and discover

our national heritage.”

“Our government has taken a leadership role in the protection and promotion of Canada’s invaluable and irreplaceable heritage such as the Holy Trinity Church National Historic Site,” Member of Parliament for DesnethéMissinippi-Churchill River Rob Clarke said. “This funding will ensure the preservation of one of the boreal forest’s most treasured national historic sites for future generations and help foster a healthy local economy and thriving tourism industry.”

When the Saskatchewan Parks Division examined the condition of the church in 2011, staff found that the building required critical roof and foundation repairs and recommended their upgrade be made top priority. The report deemed these repairs essential to the building’s preservation.

Preservation of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church will continue. The Saskatchewan Parks Division staff is currently evaluating the next level of priorities in their planning for 2014-15.

Rugby? Right-o mate!

High school rugby team gears up for new season

By TERRY PUGH

have an opportunity to experience that as well.”

Dig into the history of both the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and you’ll find a littleknown, but very cool, fact.

Both teams started out as amateur rugby clubs.

In the late 1800s, rugby was a cutting-edge sport that evolved from soccer (or, as the rest of the world calls it: football) when somebody decided to pick up the ball and run with it. The rules of the game gradually became standardized and rugby leagues sprouted up across Europe. With the wave of immigration to North America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, rugby soon took root in the new world.

But while rugby blossomed in other countries, North American athletes took that evolution a step further to create “American football” and its Canadian three-down variant. The Roughriders and Blue Bombers changed with the game and gradually became professional football clubs.

But the old-school appeal of rugby is catching on with a new generation, and a fresh crop of kids from Warman and Martensville High Schools are learning the fundamentals of the game before they step out onto the field as the Springboks rugby club.

“It’s an awesome game,” said Tyler Eaglesham of Warman, a member of the Krems senior men’s rugby club who is leading the charge to establish the junior team in Warman. “I love the fact that these kids are out here learning the sport.

The game made such a huge difference in my life. I started playing rugby in Grade 9 in Winnipeg, and learned a lot of skills and life lessons along the way. The camaraderie among the guys on my club team is amazing. I hope these kids

SPRING SEASON Eaglesham and his colleagues from the Krems have recruited about two dozen students from Grades 8 through 12 to sign up for the team, and they’re hosting weekly practices at the Legends Centre in Warman, waiting for the snow to melt before hitting the grassy pitch.

The indoor scrimmages and drills are good because they allow the athletes to learn the rules and practice their skills.

There are some rules that are similar to soccer, others that resemble football, and some that are unique to rugby. Drop kick goals, for example, require the ball to hit the ground before it’s punted through the uprights. There’s also the scrums after a whistle, and rugby is one of the few sports where a key position is called the “hooker.”

Eaglesham says he’s hoping the team is prepared once the curtain is raised on the new season, which will run about six weeks.

The North Saskatchewan Rugby Union (NSRU) season is supposed to start at the end of April, but given the late spring and the condition of the fields, that could be moved back a week or two, noted Eaglesham.

He said for athletes that play American football in the fall, getting into a spring rugby league is the best training they can have.

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

RUGBY DAY IN WARMAN The Warman high school boys team, the Springboks (named after the South African national rugby team), will be one of five teams in a junior league that includes three from Saskatoon and one from Prince Albert. Their games are all played at the Rugby Club field on English Crescent in the north end of Saskatoon.

On Saturday, May 31, the

Springboks will play a special game in their home community, when they host “Rugby Day in Warman.” They will go up against the Harlequins, one of the Saskatoon teams, at Neufeld Field at Warman High School.

It’s part of a larger, day-long celebration of the game of rugby, and is aimed at introducing the team and the sport to a larger audience in Warman and other communities in the region, said Eaglesham.

“When I came up with the idea of Rugby Day in Warman, my intention was to just get one home game here so the kids could show their family and friends what the game is all about,” he said. “But from there the idea just exploded. I suggested to some of my buddies on our senior club, the Krems, to play a game that day and showcase what it’s like at a higher level.”

From there, the NSRU and the Saskatchewan Rugby Union agreed to organize a junior girls game and a senior

women’s game as well.

“So we’re loooking at four games throughout the afternoon that day,” said Eaglesham. “We’ll have a concession with burgers, merchandise booths, a bouncy castle and stuff for the little kids so it can be a real family-oriented event.

I’m really hoping we have decent weather too.”

The day kicks off with a junior girls game at 12 noon, followed by the junior boys game at 1:00 p.m. The senior women’s match is slated for 2:00 p.m. and the senior men’s teams take the field at 4:00 p.m. The senior men’s game features Eaglesham’s Krems as the home team.

“The junior games are 40 minutes long, and the senior women’s and men’s games are 80 minutes long, with two 40-minute halves,” said Eaglesham.

Eaglesham thinks the sport may really take off in Warman. “This community is built on recreation and I really want to tap into that,” he said.

WhAt is sARCOPENiA, AND CAN WE tuRN BACk thE ClOCk? Pt. 3 NutRitiONAl FACtORs

Diet has an important influence on sarcopenia, with the most consistent evidence pointing to the roles of protein, vitamin D and antioxidant nutrients. It is known as a loss of appetite and hunger response as a result of aging causes and average 25% decrease in food intake between the ages of 40 - 70. This decrease in sonsumption leads to insufficient protein intake and low micronutrient levels.

Many vitamins and minerals play a key role in healthy muscular and neural functioning. There is a fourfold increase in the likelihood of frailty in elderly populations with low vitamin D status, thus implicating the association with vitamin D insufficiency and sarcopenia. Interestingly, Sayer et al. note that meta-analysis (statistical analyses of multiple studies) suggests vitamin D supplementation (700-1,000 International Units per day) reduces the risk of falls in older people.

FiNAl thOuGhts It is clear that sarcopenia is a prevalent and debilitating disorder with several causes, effects and counteractions. Moderate and high intensity cardiovascular exercise and resistance training can counteract neural decay and produce the antioxidants needed to fight the reactive oxygen species. An exercise regime and an prudent diet can provide a meaningful strategy that can make the difference between debilitation and a healthy, active lifestyle. Elderly deserve the right to enjoy the quality of life they have worked so hard to earn.

Delisle Bruins celebrate 30th anniversary of winning provincial title

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Every time Darrell Starling looks at the 1984 Provincial Banner hanging from the rafters of the Delisle Arena he gets a great feeling of nostalgia that few words can describe.

Starling and members of the ‘84 Delisle Bruins provincial championship senior team where the guests of honour at the Delisle Bruins senior hockey banquet April 12.

This year the championship team celebrated their 30th anniversary. Starling was a left-winger on that team and shared lots of memories as a source of inspiration for current Bruins players.

Starling said on occasion he sees some of his teammates around town, but others he hasn’t laid eyes on since the championship.

“It was great to see them, visit with them and talk to them about what they were doing in life since the championship,” said Starling.

Senior Hockey has a unique history in Delisle and its teams had many name changes, said Starling.

He said in the ‘60s and ‘70s the Potash Colts and Kings senior hockey teams called Delisle home, but they were not organized as well as they should have been, which led to their demise.

Starling said when local res-

idents brought senior hockey back in 1984, an executive was put together to manage the team and that is the reason why the team has survived to this day.

Starling said pride and community support has always been the reason why he was proud to wear the team logo on his chest.

When he retired as a player he joined the Bruins coaching staff. Providing local players with a place to play has always been a mandate of the club.

“We have always used local

kids and have never gone out and brought “We have always used local kids and have never gone out in high-priced players,” said Starling. and brought in high-priced “We always felt we had players. We always felt we good local kids who can play and I find we had good local kids who can get more support from play and we gt more support the community that from the local community...” way.”

Starling said the big• Darrell Starling, gest difference with Former player and coach, Delisle Bruins playing senior hockey today than when he played came down to was play hockey. There was no dedication. one taking holidays or bugger “At that tine all we had to do

ing off in the winter time when the playoffs were coming on.

That kind of thing has slipped a little bit today,” said Starling.

He is proud to have a second generation Starling on the team.

Darrell’s son Chad plays on the current Delisle Bruins team.

In the 2013/14 season Chad Starling was ranked fourth in team scoring with 10 goals and 21 assists and as a defenceman tied team forwards Kevin Mrygold and Dan Hounjet with 31 points.

Starling’s experience is a huge contribution for the Bruins as he is the only player on the roster with professional experience. He started his junior career in Kamloops, then Sudbury before being drafted by the St. Louis Blues in 1999.

Darrell said it means a lot to him to have his son play on a team that still holds a special place in his heart.

He said the support the team receives from the town creates an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere to play senior hockey in Delisle.

Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association ready for 50th anniversary season

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Saskatchewan softball fans will be treated to an overload of top quality talent when the Saskatchewan Amateur Softball Association (SASA) season kicks off May 1.

The league will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary during the August long weekend.

It will also be hosting the Men’s Masters Fast Pitch Championships from July 31 to August 3 and the Under 18 Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championships August 4 to August 10.

SASA President Bryan Kosteroski said the association is gearing up for a busy season.

“With the Masters there are

probably 10 to 12 teams coming to Saskatoon from across western Canada.

For the women’s U18 championship there are going to be 24 teams from across Canada,” he said.

The SASA will also be hosting a national softball team from New Zealand who will be playing games against Saskatoon, Bruno and Delisle teams.

Kosteroski said the international tournament is a precursor to World Softball Championships Saskatoon is hosting in 2015.

Heading into the 2014 season the SASA continues to expand its numbers. This year there will be 26 men’s and 22 women’s softball teams, which Kosteroski feels is an out-

standing number.

The big changes this year will come with the expansion of eight teams in the Keith McLean Division, which includes Senior A, B and Junior A men’s teams.

Kosteroski said he is pleased with the increase in numbers this year.

“We have seen a growth in our youth playing the game,” said Kosteroski. “Our younger guys are staying in the game coming out of midget and junior programs into our men’s teams so we are seeing some stability there.”

He said SASA grounds crews will be starting this week to do work on the diamonds for scheduled games next week.
