Warman RCMP traffic blitz nabs speeders

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

W

arman RCMP officers pulled over several dozen vehicles on Thursday, February 9 during a concentrated traffic enforcement patrol along 6th Avenue.

The road is the main artery linking the community with the south entrance to Highway 11, and a popular route for hundreds of vehicles.

Corporal Ray Lachance of the Warman RCMP detachment said the traffic blitz was one of many set up in the police service’s coverage area on

a regular basis.

“We try to do this sort of thing at least once a week,” explained Lachance, who along with a half dozen other officers from the Warman RCMP and Saskatoon City Police Service were issuing tickets to drivers who were clocked speeding on 6th Avenue South. “We go out to enforce various laws. Our main concerns are speeding, seat belt violations, cell phone violations and people running stop signs and yield signs, but we always watch for other potential violations as well.”

During the traffic enforcement blitz, an officer with a

radar gun tracked vehicles heading north-bound and south-bound along 6th Avenue.

Drivers clocked in excess of the speed limit were directed onto Eldorado Street, where police were kept busy talking to drivers, checking vehicle registrations, and writing tickets.

Lachance said the times and locations of the traffic blitzes vary. “It’s random,” he noted. “There’s no specific time.

Today, for example, it’s around lunch time and people tend to be rushing to and from work.

Whenever you’re rushing, that’s when accidents happen.”

Lachance said the police

normally set up their traffic checks from 90 minutes to sometimes 2 and a half hours, but the time frame also depends on the weather.

“It’s pretty cold today,” he said with a grin. “We’ve been out here close to two hours and I think we’re getting pretty close to shutting it down soon.” If priority calls such as fires or accidents occur, then they obviously take priority as well, said Lachance.

He noted that the traffic law enforcement blitzes are aimed

Martensville, Warman lead the nation in growth rates

artensville and Warman are two of the fastest-growing communities in the country.

Population census figures released February 8 by Statistics Canada show that the City of Martensville is the second-fastest growing municipality in Canada.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE

“I was a little surprised to see us over the 7,000 mark for population,” he added. “Obviously that is a big accomplishment.”

Martens said Warman will be applying for city status prior to municipal elections this fall.

He said while the rapid population growth has posed challenges, the foresight, investment and planning of previous town councils in Warman is paying off.

During the five year period from 2006 to 2011, Martensville’s population increased from 4,978 to 7,716, according to the latest census figures. That represents a growth rate of 55 per cent.

Warman, the sixth fastestgrowing community, is not far behind. Its population rose from 4,769 in 2006 to 7,084 in 2011 - a growth rate of 48.5 per cent.

“It’s very heartening news,” said Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten. “I am quite frankly surprised that the number is that high. I knew that the community was expanding rapidly, but those population figures are surprisingly large.”

Rutten said the rapid growth of Martensville is due primarily to the influx of young families with children.

“We’re a family-oriented community,” he said. “That’s what defines Martensville. Many families are coming here to live because of the lifestyle.”

It’s much the same story for Warman, where young families have fuelled residential growth over the past five years.

“It’s very exciting news for the community of Warman, and I believe the population growth rate speaks for the wonderful community we have,” said Warman Deputy Mayor Kevin Martens.

“It’s always a challenge to try and see into the future and anticipate what is needed, such as recreation facilities and infrastructure and services,” Martens said. “But I think over the years our community has done a good job in terms of providing goods and services to a growing population.”

Rutten said over the past few years, significant investments have been made in Martensville’s infra-

REGIONAL GROWTH Both Rutten and Martens agreed that the population growth in their respective communities, as well as others in the region, has been influenced by the close proximity of Saskatoon.

“Martensville is definitely tied to Saskatoon in many ways,” said Rutten. “It’s positive overall.

School Division mulls options for February break

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is looking at all its options when it comes to winter breaks next year.

The provincial government decreed after the last election that the 2012-13 school year won’t start until after Labour Day next fall, leaving school divisions across the province scrambling to determine how to ensure the required number of school days are included in the school calendar.

Some divisions, including the Saskatoon Catholic School Board, have tentatively opted to eliminate the February break. Others are looking at cutting the number of holidays during the annual Christmas break.

The PSSD is still undecided about how to make up the required days. According to the PSSD office, a final decision has not been made at this point, and all options are being studied. A decision is likely to be made in the near future.

The PSSD head office indicated in an e-mail last week that the school division has a calendar committee comprised of school board representatives, division leadership, Prairie Spirit Teachers association leadership, support staff members and others. The committee prepares a few calendar options for all staff to vote on. This committee is currently in the very early stages of developing the calendar for the 2012-13 school year.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012

Corman Park candidates outline platforms Candidates in the February 29 Corman Park election were asked by the Gazette to provide a short statement - in their own words - to voters.

The following statements were provided to the newspaper by the candidates.

Earl Hill, Joe Kasahoff and Irene Pilka did not respond to the newspaper’s request.

Division 1 John Germs I am seeking re-election because I believe Corman Park is at a crossroads as to how we move forward during this unprecedented period of growth.

With my experience in municipal government, I am positioned to make a positive contribution to our community as we reshape our development plan, policies and bylaws.

Establishing policies based on good planning principles ensures fairness to all stakeholders in Corman Park.

I have a good understanding of the issues that impact us and I am excited to work with you in further identifying and implementing solutions that make sense.

This includes special attention to our road infrastructures.

It is crucial to identifying the funding partners and a well thought out budgeting process to ensure all road infrastructure needs are met throughout the entire division.

I am also sensitive to the need to begin a reconciliation process with our other community partners.

Council must also become more accountable to the ratepayers in how it does business.

Being more open, transparent and conciliatory would be a good start.

Your ongoing support is most valued.

back into the community.

I’m running for council because I believe that things cannot continue as they are.

I want to see better communication around the RM of Corman Park council table.

Councilors are supposed to represent the people who elect them. Over the past few years, and particularly within the last year, the council has become more precocupied with infighting than doing productive work.

Some councilors have lost sight of why they were elected. That’s why I believe a fresh approach is needed.

Councilors can’t solve every problem that ratepayers and property owners have, but a councilor can and should listen to the opinions and views of ratepayers, convey those views to the rest of council, and act in a fair and impartial way.

Ratepayers should expect nothing less.

Division 3 David Fox

I have lived in Division 3 of Corman Park for eight years, including six years in Furdale and two in Beaver Creek. I am a member of the Beaver Creek Hamlet Board.

I am a retired UofS faculty member with 37 years of management experience in post-secondary education. I am now Editor-in-Chief of a professional journal.

I was elected by acclamation as the Councillor for the old Division 2 in October 2011. I am a member of the Administration and Finance Committees.

I am committed to listening and responding to the concerns of ratepayers; respecting differing viewpoints and working to-

Division 4 David Greenwood

Hello, I’m David Greenwood a candidate for Councillor in Division 4.

Having been raised in and now farming within the R.M. of Corman Park I have strong roots here.

Both Kristine and I have rural backgrounds and truly enjoy country life. For many years I lived in Alberta, yet I feel I have remained in touch with the R.M. by having land here and family in Saskatoon.

In 2011 I was able to sell my two hearing clinics and Kristine her pharmacy so we could move back and farm our land personally.

Having been on council for my college I successfully petitioned the government for funding, co-wrote educational documents and mentored my peers.

VOTE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE BASED ON FAIRNESS & EQUALITY My committment to you: • Honesty • Integrity • Transparency • Accessibility • Accountability

Murray Hunter

I am asking for your support in this election because I believe there needs to be a fresh approach to handling issues within the RM of Corman Park.

Many people have urged me to put my name forward, and I pondered long and hard before deciding to run.

My family has farmed in this area since the 1880s. I have farmed and sold farm equipment here my whole life. It is a good place to live and raise a family, and I want to help future generations enjoy the same opportunities. There comes a time when a person has to put something

wards consensus on Council; balancing agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial interests; long term planning for capital spending; revising planning policies to encourage development, while at the same time providing clear guidelines to promote consistent decision making; making the best use of the expertise of the RM’s administrative staff.

I campaigned and voted for the change to RM boundaries to create an 8 division council.

I oppose the petition to divide Corman Park. I am committed to working hard for the ratepayers of Division 3 and the RM as a whole, and to participating on Council in a reasonable, responsible, constructive manner.

I have volunteered and assisted with organizations like the Royal Canadian Legion, Poppy Fund and Arthritis Society.

The political landscape of Saskatchewan has changed and now it’s booming. We should be too!

An R.M. is big business, running it requires team players that have an open ear to their constituents and can work together.

I am not a politician nor am I an educator, my background is business and I mean business.

Voting for me supports development, better roads, more gravel and lower taxes.

Lynne Samson

I am offering my continued commitment, experience and time to the ratepayers of Division 4. Finding solutions to problems that ratepayers have and fulfilling my duties as your councillor are priorities for me.

The $ 9.5 million budget for 2011 did not represent long term, visionary planning. It was not based on strong, informed decision-making or a respect for ratepayers’ tax dollars. We cannot continue to budget from year to year. In order to achieve better planning, I will ask Council to immediately begin to develop a Five Year Strategic Plan that manages finances, roadways, flood mitigation and the purchase of additional graders, trucks and equipment.

We need to balance the interests of residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial ratepayers as they all contribute to the tax base but do not necessarily have the same

needs.

As my record indicates, I speak for fairness and equality at the Council table. Showing disrespect for differing points of view, excluding councillors from committees and withholding information from some councillors has not been productive.

To serve on Council is a privilege that I take very seriously. I respectfully ask for your support.

I welcome any questions or comments at 382-2989 or lynnesamsondiv4@gmail.com.

Gord Gunoff

I’m a retired electrician/stationary engineer. I have experience in finance, budgeting, and employee relations.

I believe Corman Park has

been made to look like a laughing-stock by a small group of council members.

A change is necessary now! I will work as a team player to restore civility to council proceedings.

I will vigorously represent your development proposals and work towards restoring the damaged credibility of the RM. As your representative, I will ensure that your issues get a fair hearing in council. I will provide you with representation you deserve.

Issues that I will pursue are as follows: 1. The subdivision of quarter sections into four residential parcels.

4. Change the Council meetings to evening sessions 5. A forward-looking economic development plan for small and large businesses.

6. A multi-parcel development plan that is fair to all applicants.

7. I am against the division of the RM as proposed by certain individuals, this is not been well thought through by them and will have major consequences for the ratepayers of the RM. 8. The development of a muchneeded human resource policy for Corman Park.

Division 5 Bill Dyck I became involved in the politics of the RM of Corman Park because of the frustration I incurred while trying to get approval for Parkside Estates. When I beame acclaimed to council in 2009, I started to see how things ran in the RM. It

was all administation and planning and very little feedback to council members. It was basically run by the former Reeve, former Adminstrator and former Head Planner. All three are now no longer with the RM. We now have a new Reeve that is hands-on and the council is made aware of things that are brought forward in the RM. We have struggled at times to get things done because of a few individuals who seem to want to return to the former ways. I believe in the power of one vote to one person. Now that the referendum to go to 8 divisions was accepted, I believe we should work with the people who get elected, as a united council, for the RM as a whole. When I campaigned last fall, the main concern of ratepayers was: “please get council united and get on with the business of the RM.” The best way to make council work is to get the proper people elected instead of tearing the RM apart with another referendum. Voters can weigh their options and choose canadidates who can work as a united council. The RM has some major planning decisions to make.

I can offer insight into those decisons based on my experience with my own development It is now time to “stop stirring the pot and time to start serving the people.”

Ken Beauchemin I have lived on an acreage within Division 5 with my wife, MaryJane, for the past fifteen years.

I have been in business since 1962 in the automotive field. For the past thirty four years I have competed in tractor pulls with a tractor called Boss Blue. I was on the board of directors for Saskatchewan Tractor Pullers. I was President of Alberta Tractor Pullers for five years. I have been promotion manager for Pro West Pullers for six years and I am currently promotions manager for Pinnacle Motorsports, my third year in this position.

For the past twentyfive years I have organized Truck and Tractor Pulls across Weastern Canada and the Northern United States and have extensive experience dealing with groups, fair boards and ag societies.

As councillor of Division 5, I first would be a good listener, and find out the facts before I form any opinions about the current problems in the RM. I will try to help the other

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2012 • PG. 6

Your job may determine your vote

It was the 2003 election campaign when it really dawned on me that the great voter-divide in Saskatchewan isn’t necessarily geographically or even the much-talked-about urban-rural split.

It’s often based on your occupation.

I was in Coronach following the leaders and wound up talking to a SaskPower plant worker during lunch – a rare rural voter who was decidedly NDP. Sure, the memories of the 1998 lockout were still fresh in his mind, but so were the years of the Grant Devine administration that convinced him that it wasn’t in his interest to vote for the rightwing alternative Saskatchewan Party.

Broad-based support for the NDP in rural Saskatchewan has grown increasingly rare in the past 30 years. Since Devine’s 1982 election when he swept the entire province (including all but two urban

Provincial Politics

seats in Regina) the NDP success in rural Saskatchewan has been sporadic at best. A rural foothold was briefly regained in 1991 by Roy Romanow’s ousting of Devine, but the closure of 52 rural hospitals quickly changed that. Since then, the election of NDP rural MLAs has been few and far between, culminating with the 2011 vote when they were wiped out altogether.

And when you think about it from the standpoint of occupation, it makes even more sense. Rural Saskatchewan is dominated by large marketing farmers, oil workers, small implement manufacturers

and other small businessmen and women. There is a still a lot of public sector employment with teachers, health care professionals, agricultural and highways services etc., but a critical mass of them (like at Coronach’s power plant) is unusual.

Talking to that Coronach voter in 2003 reminded me that work – especially work in a unionized environment – can have a big influence on how you vote.

Another couple of recent events fortified that notion.

The first was the annual Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention in Regina where Wall and his Sask.

Party cabinet ministers received an incredibly easy ride from delegates at the annual bearpit session. There were the usual concerns about spending on infrastructure, doctor recruitment, taxation levels, etc.

However, what was truly surprising was how overwhelmingly

supportive mayors and councillors were to the Wall government – and not just the smaller town mayors.

Given the Sask. Party’s near twothirds overall popular vote in the election perhaps it wasn’t surprising to see such a positive response from city politicians as well. But those who have watched politics in this province for some time will know that SUMA has traditionally represented a pretty good cross-section of our politics. If so, something has changed and this province is no longer as divided on urban-rural lines as it once was.

But another recent event suggests that perhaps not everyone in the province loves the Wall government – or at least, there’s one demographic where the Sask. Party still lacks support.

A recent decision by Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Dennis Ball (who was once the chair of the Labour Relations Board for the Devine

government) that the province’s essential services legislation is unconstitutional was wildly cheered by the union movement. Simply put, Justice Ball’s ruling says that the Sask. Party law just goes too far in excluding people from the right to strike – so far that it infringes on the freedoms of assembly guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

And what might have been most interesting is how well this decision seems to have been received among unionized workers – especially public sector union members – compared with everyone else.

It just goes to show that where you live isn’t necessarily always the most critical factor in your private vote. Sure, your family, friends and neighbours can influence you.

But what you do for a living may very well be the thing that’s most critical in determining how you cast your ballot.

Reeve’s conflicting statements on petition disturbing Reeve Mel Henry was interviewed the week of January 16, 2012 by the Country Press and the article in the January 25, 2012 edition of the Country Press states “Henry reported that he yielded a bevy of new signatures during a coffee-stop in Warman on Tuesday.” The Country Press article goes on to quote Mel Henry “The uptake on it (the petition) is phenomenal. There’s lots of people interested…I just went in for coffee at Warman and I had to go back out to the truck and get the petition…I ended up with 17 signatures”.

During the council meeting of January 23, 2012 Reeve Mel Henry was asked if he was actively obtaining signatures for the petition to divide the RM of Corman Park. The following is a transcription of the recording taken at the RM Council meeting between counselor Perry Ulrich and Reeve Mel Henry.

Mel Henry – Yes, I am in favour of people doing what they think they should do. That’s our democratic right. Remember we are in Canada, not where my grandparents came from, Russia.

Perry Ulrich – And....fair enough.

And I also understand that you have gathered signatures as well?

Mel Henry – No. Perry Ulrich – I guess from the same reliable source.... So, you have not gathered, or, accepted any signatures for the petition?

Mel Henry – So far not, I haven’t had time.

Reeve Henry stated he is not working to break up the RM, but also states he is in favour of the west portion of the RM separating from the east. Is this not the same thing?

My question to rate payers – are these the actions of the Reeve you want representing you? I feel the rate payers are not getting all information to make informed decisions. I have appealed to the Reeve over and over again to lead and unite this RM. In response all I

Gazette

hear are excuses blaming present and former council members/leaders and accusations of councillors being disruptive. My investigation and opinion leads me to believe these few councillors are doing diligence and asking good questions but the Reeve cannot fire them so he goes public and makes allegations that they are disruptive.

Leaders spend energy uniting their council; they should not be promoting the separation of the Rural Municipality.

The Reeve does not like the result of the recent referendum which he had every opportunity to avoid. The Reeve and the council had the option to redefine the boundaries, balancing the population/representation ratio and keep it at 11. A committee for re-definement had been in place and Reeve Henry dismantled it. He informed our hamlet council meeting “no one was interested” and if I wanted to make change to get a petition, so we did.

Reeve Henry, you have a fiduciary duty to all ratepayers, and dividing the RM does not represent the ALL of the ratepayers in their best interests.

Reeve Mel Henry has alleged in recent newspaper articles that the people from the South want country life with city services, paved roads and garbage pickup. Reeve Mel Henry you should know that I pay $295.97 for garbage pickup to Loraas disposal.

This fee includes the RM road levy tax of $54.60 to maintain the roads which is passed on to us ratepayers. The “paved” (actually chip sealed) roads in the area where I live were sealed by the developer and partially paid for by us residents who purchased the homes.

In addition I did a comparison of my taxes with a farmer with 531 acres of land in the RM of Corman Park who pays $850.58 or $1.60 per acre. My home is on 9.8 acres and I pay $5,202.67 or $530.88 per acre.

When my ditches are mowed and our snow plowed or roads repaired the R.M. invoices our hamlet the full amount. We have many gravel roads in the South that are in just as bad shape as the roads in other parts of the RM. There are farmers in the South and East that deserve good roads too. So do not split acreage owners against farmers, using roads and services as an excuse to divide us, blame the bad management of the R.M. I am tired of acreage owners being a scape goat for the Reeve and his divisive comments.

My message is to work together, and we need a Reeve who will unite us or step aside to let someone else do it. We cannot afford the mistakes that are being made. What would the costs be in separation?

Are the ratepayers willing to have their tax dollars spent on a division that is not necessary?

The Reeve continually compares himself to what happened in the past but true leaders compare themselves to their own goals not the perceived shortcomings of others.

with strategic road upgrades and maintenance • Create a positive investment climate for industrial development. Properly planned and located development creates investment and employment opportunities and adds significantly to tax revenues without interfering with the enjoyment and value of our homes.

• Promote rural residential development, not just as municipal tax revenue but recognizing that acreage families are new neighbours that diversify and contribute to our communities. More flexible ways to develop single parcel residences should be considered. Ratepayers should not subsidize new development.

• Protect agriculture; we continue to have more intensive farming than any other RM in Saskatchewan.

• Constructively work with my ratepayers, council, administration, and partner municipalities seeking informed consensus and genuine good will.

Bas FroeseKooijenga

The upcoming municipal election on February 29th provides a chance to get involved at the grass roots level.

I am running for the position of councilor in this election because there is a lot at stake.

The number of divisions is now reduced from 11 to 8, which is the reason for this election.

Council is dealing with many important issues.There is a petition circulating to split the RM. Recently council initiated several important projects. It is developing a new Official Community Plan. In the near future three cities and a growing town will border Division 6. Among other items, zoning bylaws will be updated. How do we envision the RM five or ten years from now? There will be opportunity for public input.

An ambitious road re-surfacing campaign is underway. The RM joined with local communities to work on a regional water management and flood mitigation plan. Lots of ground work ahead. Whatever shape or form the RM will take, there will always be a need for new councillors who are willing to work on the basics. This is why I let my name stand for councillor.

Division 7

Joanne Janzen

My name is Joanne Janzen. I live on a century old family farm near Dalmeny. Presently I serve all of Corman Park as Deputy Reeve and Chair of the Administration Committee. I’m also on the Wheatland Regional Library Executive, and our Area Flood Mitigation Committee.

We need good gravel and regular grader maintenance on our roads, as well as proper ditch mowing, especially around

intersections, for safety reasons and also to help keep snow clearing costs lower in winter.

Economic growth in our region is a blessing and a challenge. Ratepayers want to protect their property values, and they also want less ‘red tape’ to deal with as they take advantage of opportunities for growth - such as home based businesses, subdividing property or developing severed properties.

I want to continue working with towns to encourage commercial and light industrial development near those towns but within the RM’s boundaries.

We’re all aware this area can go from drought to flood quickly. We are now working hard with our urban neighbors, through the Area Flood Mitigation Committee. We were fortunate to obtain $1 million of provincial funding for sustainably managing water in our region.

Pulling together, rather than finger pointing, has proved beneficial.

I am approachable and I welcome your concerns and ideas.

I speak up in council, on water, roads/highways or developments. I do return e-mails and phone calls. I do take time to chat and listen. I am your representative on issues near and dear to you. You deserve experience and attention. Therefore in this upcoming election “Let’s Leap Forward Together On Leap Year Day”!

concerns are for orderly, steady growth in the RM as well as careful spending of taxpayers’ dollars. I have always responded to your calls and concerns. I will continue to do so if re-elected.

Having been on council since 2003, I am chair of the Public Works Committee, Vice-Chair of the Waste Management Committee and on the Eagle Creek Park Board.

The condition of our roads must contiue to be council’s number one priority. Construction crews need to be working 12 hour days. The RM’s equipment must be utilized to full capacity, building and maintaining our extensive road network. Graders need to cover fewer miles so the turnaround time is shorter and summer roads are worked on a regular basis. During my term as Chair of the Public Works Committee, we’ve implemented two extra graders for road maintenance.

Quality of life in our rural communities depends on roads being kept in good condition with quality gravel to ensure that amublances and fire trucks are always able to get through.

Many have requested 4-10 acre parcels per quarter section.

Discussion on this issue, as well as the development of severed properties, needs to take place.

Division 8 Murray Grismer Peter Coad I accepted the nomination for candidacy in Division 7 after friends and neighbours, concerned about the current lack of direction and instability within the RM of Corman Park, asked me to run for council.

As a serving 25-year member of the Saskatoon Police Service, with specialized training in Leadership, Management, Conflict Resolution and Mediation, l bring a fresh approach to council, offering a new focus, fresh thought and new ideas to address the many issues and challenges of the RM. The main issues identified to me are:* Division of the RM *Animosity in Council *Accessibility and Accountability of Councilors *Property Taxes *Road Development and Maintenance *Policing My commitment to all residents of Corman Park is to work with elected members to bring about positive change within Council, to develop and foster an atmosphere of communication, understanding and respect, necessary to address the concerns and issues of all ratepayers.

I ask for your support on February 29th; together we can make a difference, moving the RM of Corman Park forward into a strong and viable future for all.

7

It is time for new ideas and a fresh perspective in dealing with the numerous issues affecting Corman Park, as the population expands in the municipality.

I believe I can make a positive contribution as a full-time councillor in advocating compromise and in creating a more unified council to deal with issues that affect us all, while still focusing on issues specific to Division 8.

It is important that the opinions of all councillors be heard and their ideas treated with dig-

nity and respect so that rational discussion be held on all issues.

I owned and operated a drug store in Saskatoon for 35 years.

My wife and I have owned land in Corman Park for 20 years, and moved here 10 years ago. In Saskatoon I served on the Riverside Business Improvement District, as Vice-Chairman and then as Chairman. At present I am a member of the Corman Park Planning Advisory Committee.

I have the time and energy to dedicate to discussing the issues we all face and to work cooperatively in reaching rational consensus for the betterment of the entire municipality.

DIVISION 8 ELECT

Wendy Trask 4 3 4 Residences per qtr 3 Develop severed properties & 3 “Lifesaving Gravel Program” Lives & property are at risk when emergency vehicles cannot get through - I vote for better roads, more graders & quality gravel!

VOTE - FEBRUARY 29th

Wendy Trask I have been a councilor in the RM for five years and I am a candidate in the new “Division 8”. I am the voice for ratepayers, and roads have been my number one issue since day one.

I continue to push for more graders, faster turn around times and better gravel. Reeve Mel Henry has supported my concerns and we have been able to put a very good quality gravel on most RM roads this past year. This has greatly improved their condition, but more improvement is needed. Division 8 spans to the west border of the RM, and I have heard these ratepayers say they have been in dire straits with their roads, summer and winter. This is unacceptable. These ratepayers deserve the same services as ratepayers living closer to the city.

I believe our graders should always be in the country, working on our roads and not doing contract work for the City of Saskatoon, and I will continue to argue that point. We have made a lot of changes in the past year, and the tail is not wagging the dog anymore. If elected, I will continue to support great changes we have planned, such as more residences per quarter and the development of severed properties, which we plan to bring in to effect in 2012.

On the trail of Clark’s Crossing Historic place name evolved over the years, applied to more than one location

By TERRY PUGH

T

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

here’s more to the story of Clark’s Crossing than what’s appeared so far in the Gazette, says Leonard Doell, a resident of the RM of Aberdeen and a recognized authority on the local history of the area north of Saskatoon.

In a recent interview, Doell said the term, ‘Clark’s Crossing’ does indeed refer to the specific settlement that was established in 1902 near the old Penner school, as outlined in the January 26, 2012 issue of the Gazette.

But he noted the designation goes back at least a decade earlier.

He said originally, the name referred to a ferry crossing established in 1881

by John Fowler Clark near the current Clarkboro Ferry site. But in the years that followed, ‘Clark’s Crossing’ also came to be used in reference to a relatively large area north of Saskatoon on

both sides of the river.

Doell, one of the authors of the Hague-Osler Mennnonite history book, said for about two decades from 1881 to 1902, the term ‘Clark’s Crossing’ appeared to be used fairly loosely, and it wasn’t until the area north of Saskatoon became more settled that it once again took on a more specific designation.

Doell also pointed out that while the Dominion telegraph line, completed in 1876, did pass through the area, a telegraph station at Clark’s Crossing was not established until 1884. Incorrect information about the date the telegraph station started was published in a recent issue of the Gazette.

Doell said he’s happy to see Township Road 381 in the RM of Corman Park designated as “Clark’s Crossing Road” because it “helps future generations be mindful of the history of the area and the contribution of people who were here before us.” He said the local history for the settlement of Clark’s Crossing which was published in the Gazette is accurate. But he said there

A plaque commemorating Clark’s Crossing was erected by the Province of Saskatchewan several decades ago in the RM of Aberdeen.

is still some confusion about the relationship between the townsite of Clarks Crossing, the townsite of Clarkboro, and the original Clark’s Crossing ferry site. “It’s important to make the whole story as clear as we can,” he said.

“If you start in 1879, that’s when John Clark came from Ontario,” said Doell. “He came as part of a survey crew, and apparently he really liked this area for the creation of a ferry and he thought it was a beautiful spot to live. Anyway, he returned two years later, in 1881, and he homesteaded on the east side of the river. He got application for a ferry to be constructed right near the spot where the CN railway bridge is located now, just a little south of the present Clarkboro Ferry.”

Doell noted Clark’s homestead application coincided with the arrival of other temperance colonists from Ontario, and his homestead land was within the area that was included in the original temperance colony land grant, that stretched roughly from the present-day Clarkboro ferry in the north to the Whitecap reserve in the south.

“Mr. Clark set up his ferry in 1881, and there is some debate about how long he operated that ferry,” noted Doell. “But we do know that in 1894, J.F. Clark moved to

Vancouver. His parents had already moved to Vancouver from Ontario and he also made the move there. But we also know that he returned to the area in 1905 or 1906, and that is right about the time that the settlement, or townsite, of Clarkboro was established on the Canadian Northern line Leonard Doell on the east side of the river.”

Doell said while the term ‘Clark’s Crossing’ originally referred to Clark’s ferry, it appeared to gradually encompass a much larger area as more people settled north of the growing village of Saskatoon. He noted there were actually many places to cross the river between Saskatoon and Clark’s ferry, very few good roads during that period, and the ferry itself was moved upstream or downstream depending on water levels.

The first railway line to come through Saskatoon was the Qu’Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan line that linked Regina with Prince Albert. In 1902, a station was established at the townsite of Clark’s Crossing, a short distance north

of Saskatoon, near where Township Road 381 intersects the rail line and Highway 11.

Doell pointed out that the next major railway line to be built was the Canadian Northern line (now CN main line) that ran east and west. It was constructed in 1905 and 1906. A railway bridge spanned the river near the spot where the original Clark’s Crossing Ferry was established in 1881.

The settlement of Diamond, which later became known as Warman, was established at the junction of the two rail lines in 1906.

The original name for the town was taken from the “diamond” shape of the railway junction lines. The town was later named for a journalist and author named Cy Warman, who documented the construction of the Canadian Northern rail line.

Doell speculates that because the townsite of Clark’s Crossing was already established a few years earlier, the name “Clarkboro” was probably chosen for the new townsite on the Canadian Northern line. A “borough” is an old English term that refers to a town or electoral riding, and is derived from the Old English and German “Burg” – which meant “town” or “fortress”.

“Even though Clarkboro was actually closer to the

original site of the Clark’s Crossing Ferry, there couldn’t be two towns with the same name so close together,” he said. “So Clarkboro was probably chosen as the name for the townsite to show it was the area where Clark settled.”

Doell said the area around Clarkboro also had a rather generous-minded designation among the German Mennonite community in the area. They called it by a name which translated roughly as “Rich With Stones”.

An historic plaque erected by the provincial government several decades ago in the RM of Aberdeen documents the designation of Clark’s Crossing for the original ferry, and tells the story of how the ferry crossing became an important strategic military site during the Northwest Resistance of 1885. Doell said while local residents on the east side of the river are very familiar with the plaque, many other people have never heard of its existence.

“The reason it’s hard to find is because it’s basically in the middle of nowhere,” said Doell. “It’s about a mile south of the Bushman cemetery on the old Highway 27. This road is kind of out of the way now, but at one time it was the main highway into Saskatoon. To get to it you turn south at the intersection of Clarkboro Ferry road (Grid Road 784) and the old Highway 27, where the Bushman cemetery is located.”

Doell said the townsite of Clarkboro had at least two elevators, a post office, telegraph station, and several stores, right up until the 1950s. It also had a water tower to supply steam engines, with the water supplied from a pumphouse on the east bank of the river.

The remains of the pumphouse can still be seen near the present-day train bridge.

“There isn’t anything left of Clarkboro now, and the townsite itself is on private land so it’s inaccessible,” Doell noted. “But it’s also an important piece of history for the area. Clark’s Crossing was a real settlement on the west side of the river, but the term was originally much broader, and it also referred to places on the east side of the river.”

Nargang’s tribute to Elvis, Orbison wins over audience

to the originals. The range and expression his voice is capable of has to be heard to be truly appreciated.

It took a while to get the sea of grey hair into a mood for rocking, but Nargang eased them into it by starting out with several of Elvis’ gospel standards, including Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art. There were even a few tunes from other great sixties’ artists like Neil Diamond (Sweet Caroline) and the Bee Gees (before they discovered disco and went over to the dark side).

He wrapped up his first set with one of the most emotionally-powerful songs of the night, entitled “Free from the pain” – written for his grandmother who passed away from cancer.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when the final notes fad-

olby Nargang filled the hall at the JJ Loewen Centre twice last weekend – once with people who scooped up tickets to his concert - and once with his voice.

Organizers with the Dalmeny Seniors Association had to bring in extra chairs to accommodate the audience overflow, but it was his powerful and expressive songs that left a lasting impression on listeners.

The quiet, unassuming young man from Regina quickly won over the crowd when he launched into his rendition of songs made famous by Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison.

By the second set, people were ready for something a little more upbeat, and his Roy Orbison numbers fit the bill.

Pretty Woman, Walk On, Running Scared, Crying, Only the Lonely, were all spot on. But the best one was Orbison’s “Anything You Want” from a “Travelling Wilburys” recording session with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.

Joined on stage by concert organizers Doug and Anne Wilson of Dalmeny for his final number, Nargang received a heart-felt standing ovation from the crowd. The young singer, who was born with a rare genetic disorder known as “Williams Syndrome” – showed that “special needs” can also be “special gifts.”

Rash of fires, collisions, and a hockey dust-up all part of RCMP’s week Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

DRIVING OFFENCES On February 3rd, at 9:35 p.m., Warman RCMP stopped a vehicle on highway 7, southwest of Saskatoon, for speeding at 141 km/h. While dealing with the operator of the vehicle it was learned that he was an unlicenced driver and that he was under the influence of alcohol. The driver provided a sample of his breath into a roadside screening device and was subsequently arrested for impaired driving. The man was tak-

en to the police detachment where he provided samples of his breath at .130 mgs. A 35 year old Harris man was released on charges of impaired driving and over .08, speeding and driving without a valid licence and is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon.

TRAFFIC BLITZES On Monday, February 6th, a traffic enforcement operation was conducted by the local detachment on Crystal Springs Drive, Warman.

Speed was monitored for about two hours and 10 speeding charges were laid.

On February 9, Warman

RCMP in conjunction with Saskatoon Regional Traffic Services conducted a 1 hour traffic operation at Eldorado St. and 6th Avenue, Warman.

The focus was on speeding violations for southbound traffic on 6th Avenue. Of the violators ticketed, the slowest violating speed was 60 km/h in the posted 40km/h zone.

As a result, 24 charges were laid, including 20 speeding tickets, 2 seatbelt charges, one cell phone and one stop sign violation. (A photo of the operation is attached and authorized for publication.)

VEHICLE COLLISIONS On February 5th, at 6:25

the

PRO page

a.m., a single vehicle collision was reported to Warman RCMP. Officers attended and located a Jeep Cherokee in a field adjacent to the roadway.

The vehicle had left the roadway and gone through a fence and had come to a rest. Police located a male subject who identified himself as the operator of the vehicle. The man exhibited signs of intoxication and was arrested for impaired driving. The man provided police with samples of his breath that were almost twice the legal limit. A 39 year old man from Lloydminster was later released to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court

on charges of impaired driving and having a blood alcohol in excess of .08.

DALMENY ACCIDENT During the afternoon February 6th, at approximately 4:00 p.m., a single vehicle accident occurred on Dalmeny Rd. South of Highway 16. A single vehicle left the roadway and went through the ditch and damaged a couple of fences and came to a rest in a field. The female driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was taken to hospital by ambulance for assessment.

The accident is still under investigation. A medical condition may have contributed to

the accident.

BORDEN ACCIDENT On February 9th, at 2:00 p.m., Warman RCMP members attended to a call of a collision on the Service Rd. at Borden and Highway 16.

A tractor trailer unit made a turning maneuver and the load on the trailer shifted and struck a power pole causing a power line to break. A live wire was hanging just over the roadway as a result. Police and Sask Power attended. The power line was repaired and a 65 year old man from Didsbury, Alberta was Continued on Page 15 Please see “WARMAN RCMP”

Warman Home Centre sold to Golden Opportunities Investment Fund Investment Syndicate new owner of one of Saskatchewan’s ‘Top 100’ companies based in Warman

O

thanks to a booming construction sector in Saskatchewan.

The group of companies has received numerous awards, including including the 2009 and 2010 Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association Customer Choice Award for Single Family Builder, 2008 Western Retail Lumber Association Inc. Industry Achievement Award. The company

ne of the most successful companies in Saskatchewan is under new ownership.

But it’s still “business as usual” at Warman Home Centre, with no major changes expected for the business. The current staff will continue at the company’s facilities.

Golden Opportunities Fund Inc., a provincial labour-sponsored investment fund, announced February 9 that it has led a major transaction to complete the management buyout of Reho Holdings Ltd. Dave Holst, the current majority owner who did much to build the company over the past two decades, will continue to be active on the board of direc- Warman Home Centre and related busitors of Reho Holdings, nesses are now under new ownership. which operates Warman Home Centre and its various was also named one of the Top divisions.

ship.

Kook said the long standing executive management team also reaffirmed their commitment and excitement for the company’s future by acquiring a major interest in the new structure. He noted Holst will continue to be active on the board of directors of the company.

Other leading Saskatchewan institutional investors, including Lex Capital Partners LP, PIC Investments Group Inc. and Hathersage Holdings Inc. put up funds in the syndicated financing arrangement.

Doug Banzet, Chief Financial Officer of Golden Opportunities Fund said investors are looking for strong companies that are geared to take advantage of further growth in Saskatchewan.

“In these times of public market volatility, you are seeing the largest pension funds in Canada move towards transactions that provide attractive, stable and consistent long term yields,” said Banzet.

“This investment transaction provides that for the Fund’s shareholders in a province that is forecast to continue to lead the country in economic growth over the foreseeable future.”

Saskatchewan’s economy is expected to lead the country again in 2012 and 2013 due to a booming construction industry and a rapidly expanding housing market, said Banzet. “The location of Warman Home Center in one of the fastest growing cities in Saskatchewan and gateway to the province’s abundant northern resources makes this investment well situated for growth

beyond its proven historical track record of service and profitability.”

Kook said the $13.8 million investment in a Saskatchewan company provides a clear signal about the province’s economic future.

“This investment compliments our strategic positioning of the Fund that has occurred in the past 18 months to be dominantly weighted in Saskatchewan oil and gas,” said Kook.

He added that the fund is

“balanced” by a portfolio of real estate- backed health care facilities throughout Saskatchewan which care for the elderly, as well as a portfolio of companies capitalizing on the “New Saskatchewan” which provide attractive long term earnings.

“This newest transaction of $13.78 million reaffirms our commitment in a major way to that strategy,” concluded Kook.

Golden Opportunities Fund Inc. is Saskatchewan’s

longest standing provincial labour-sponsored investment fund, having raised approximately $200 million in share capital to date from approximately 23,500 shareholders.

The Fund is managed by Saskatchewan’s largest private venture capital fund Manager, Westcap Mgt. Ltd., with over $500 million under management. Westcap specializes in the development, launch, and fund management of niche funds focused on the New Saskatchewan.

DALMENY CARE HOME FUNDRAISER Brenda Morrison dishes up some homemade chili during a fundraising supper in Dalmeny on Saturday, February 11. The event, held at the Dalmeny Bible Church, was one of several aimed at raising about six thousand dollars for a new, lockable medicine cart for the Spruce Manor Special Care Home in Dalmeny. The old one is 25 years old and has seen better days. The next fundraiser is a bake sale at Easter.

Wildcats deny Wheat Kings a clean sweep, playoff series tied at one game each

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

M

emo to Rosthern Wheat Kings: Put the brooms back in the closet.

After losing 8-4 in the first game of the first-round, best of five Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) playoff series against the Rosthern Wheat Kings in Rosthern last Friday, the Warman Wildcats opted to change up the script.

Heading back to Warman on Saturday, February 11, the Wildcats decided to make a stand in their home barn.

Bret Hesterman got the first of two goals in the game midway through the first period, giving the Wildcats a 1-0 lead going into the first intermission.

Tanner Gillies and Barry Sparvier got Rosthern on the board with a pair of goals early in the second period, and it started to look like a carbon copy of the previous night’s contest.

But two minutes after Rosthern took their first lead of the game, the Wildcats’ Riley Ethier changed the momentum of the contest with a slick shorthanded goal to tie things up again. Hesterman

added his second of the night and Wildcats’ captain Doug Harms also connected.

Suddenly Warman was up by two goals. Rosthern’s David Richard scored late in the period to bring the visitors within one at the break.

Rosthern’s Garrret Cameron tied the game midway through the third period, but Dan Lind scored the winning goal for Warman with a little over six minutes left in the game. The roof on the old Diamond Arena is probably a couple inches higher now than it was before Lind scored, judging by the noise level at the time.

Warman coach Stu Regush said the atmosphere in the locker room prior to the second game was a whole different story from the night before.

“The guys were fired up,” Regush said after the game.

“The music was loud, there was a lot more chatter. Everybody was in it right from the get-go. They knew this was a make it or break it game, and nobody wanted to go back to Rosthern down two games to none. So everybody came out firing and they did what they were supposed to do.”

He said goaltender Deny Baron “stood on his head”

by making a lot of key saves, particularly in the first period. “He played unbelievable for us,” Regush commented. “Those were game-savers. You get down a couple of goals to these guys and it’s an awful big hole to try and climb out of. He saved us when we needed it and we battled back and got the goals for him.”

Regush said the big difference in the games was the players gave it their all for an entire sixty minutes. It’s now down to a best of three series, and Regush says the team is looking forward to playing in Rosthern on Sunday, February 19. “Bring it on,” he said with a grin after the game Saturday night.

“We’re ready for them.”

The Wildcats next game against the Wheat Kings is Sunday, February 19 in Rosthern at 5:00 pm. The return game is slated for Thursday, February 23 in Warman at 8:30. The fourth game is Friday, February 24 in Rosthern at 8:30.

Game 3 is Sunday, February 19 in Bruno and Game 4 goes Monday, February 20 in Dalmeny.

WARMAN RCMP charged for driving without due care and attention.

FIRE CALLS The Warman RCMP responded with Fire Departments to several fire calls. One fire in Asquith and two in the Warman area. On February 6th at Cecil Street in Asquith a single vehicle caught fire and was badly damaged. On February 7th in the Cathedral Bluffs neighborhood, a CO2 alarm was the cause of a fire alarm response by the Fire Dept and the Warman Detachment personnel. During the noon hour of February 7th, police secured the area and directed traffic while the Warman Fire Department battled a garage fire on 4th Street West in Warman. Three homes sustained thousands of dollars in damages. Neither of the fires are believed to be suspicious at this time.

February 7th, a suspicious vehicle was observed in the Cathedral Bluffs neighbourhood, southeast of Warman. A Dodge pickup truck was observed at residences and the occupants of the truck were entering unattended vehicles and rifling through the contents.

There had been recent thefts of this nature reported previously in this area. Police responded to an area resident’s call and located the truck.

When police attempted to approach the vehicle it sped up toward a police vehicle and narrowly missed colliding with the police car. Police pursued the vehicle briefly, but lost sight of the vehicle shortly after it entered the city limits of Saskatoon.

It was later learned that the Saskatoon Police had attempted to stop the vehicle earlier in the evening without success. The vehicle was later located abandoned in Saskatoon

len from North Battleford. Residents in rural areas are reminded to lock their vehicles and be alert for suspicious activity.

CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE On February 4, Warman RCMP responded to a complaint at the Delisle arena of a confrontation between a player from the visiting team and a spectator after the completion of a hockey game.

Witnesses reported that a player grabbed and punched a spectator as he walked by. The incident is currently under investigation.

No charges have been laid at this point.

A complaint on February 3rd directed members of the Delisle Community Detachment to locate a youth who was reportedly pointing a BB gun at passing vehicles from the ditch along the highway 766.

The youth was located and identified and the weapon was found to be a toy cap gun. The youth, who is seven years old, is not chargeable. The parents were spoken to considering the seriousness of his actions and the matter concluded.

During the early hours of the morning on February 5, in Osler, a young male was investigated after leaving a party that had been previously attended to by the Warman RCMP for being noisy. The youth was arrested for driving without valid driver’s licence and for possession of marihuana . The youth was released into the care of his parents and is scheduled to attend Provincial Court in March, 2012. The youth cannot be identified due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Come on, Capricorn. You know you want to, so do it.

You will learn more and have more fun than you ever thought possible. A friend honors a request.

VIRGOS Psst, Virgo. Someone is up to something, and it’s up to you to find out what. Don your detective cap and start snooping. An act of passion gets the home fires burning.

AQUARIUS Passion ignites with some sage words of advice. Oohla-la, Aquarius. Design choices compound with an addition. Consider all the possibilities and then let the elimination round begin.

LIBRA Wake up and smell the coffee, Libra. All is not as it seems. What looks good on paper may not look so good in reality. Get a professional opinion before you make your move.

PISCES Drat, Pisces. An offer resurfaces. Give it careful consideration this time. There might be more to it than you realize. A relative reaches out.

SCORPIO Everyone deserves a second chance, even you, Scorpio.

Don’t give up hope on a relationship. Say your peace and watch what happens next!

ARIES Love is in the air and life takes on a rosy hue. Live it up, Aries. Honesty is always the best policy, so stop hedging with a dear friend and fess up.

The hall stage was decorated with a saddle, wagon wheels, bales of straw & other cowboy related items, and each table was covered in black cloth with a leather candle holder and a horseshoe holding candy & mints.

Guest artists were Lee Bellows, who was a rodeo clown performing at Calgary Stampede, Canadian Finals, etc. and worked as a livestock inspector with Dept. of Agriculture for 30+ years. Since retiring and doing cowboy poetry he had appeared on Sesame St, in Reader’s Digest and opened for Ian Tyson.

Some of his poetry included Feeding Cows in Winter, Riding a bronc named Ben, New Technology, Philosophy on Education and a Dream He had that God likes to ride horses. Adam Thiessen, who trains horses, has a riding arena at Petrofka and works for G Double B farms of Borden at calving, related his poetry from experience – pack animals in the Rockies, A Royal Adventure(working at Royal PFRA pasture), Respect the Landlord’s Fences and The Last Battle. Jason Hanley of Langham told of Cowboying and Riding Pasture, then Barry Thiessen had a humorous poem about that troublesome J13 cow and Mona Thiessen wrote a poem about her Addictions(to buying & wearing scarves). 17 western related door prizes were given out to guests from Borden, Radisson, Langham & elsewhere, the lucky bidders on the 39 silent auction bids were announced and Lee Bellows auctioned off a few more items to the highest bidders. Emcee Melissa Saunders thanked everyone for coming, to all the great entertainers, to the major sponsors Potash Corp and the Model T Bar & Grille for accommodations for the guest artists and to everyone who donated items for the silent auction.

The forum is scheduled for the Langham Community Hall from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Ken Crush, a ratepayer in the division who is organizing the forum, said he felt voters needed a chance to hear all the candidates.

“It’s an important election, and we need to hear what the candidates have to say,” said Crush.

He noted that so far, three of the four candidates running in the election have accepted the invitation to appear.

The four candidates running for election in Division 7 include Joanne Janzen, Leonard Kasahoff, Murray Grismer and Joe Kasahoff.

Crush said the forum is not intended to be a debate between candidates.

“The number one objective is to give ratepayers some insight as to who the candidates are and where they stand on various issues,” he said.
