Assessment notices reflect rise in property values across province

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Property assessment notices are arriving in the mailboxes of residents in many communities.

The 2013 revaluation notices provide the official assessed value of property as determined by the Saskatchewan Assessment Managment Agency (SAMA). The notices also outline the timetable for property owners to appeal their assessments.

For Warman residents, the deadline for appealing assessment valuations is May 14, 2013.

For most homeowners, assessed property values are rising. However, the amount of the increase can vary significantly.

If the assessed value of the property increased by the average rate of other properties in the municipality, taxes are not likely to rise significantly, depending on the mill rate adopted by municipal councils when their respective budgets are set later this spring.

The assessment notice distributed by the City of Warman notes that because this is a “revaluation” year, property assessments “are much higher” than previous assessments.

But ratepayers shouldn’t be pushing the panic button.

“This does not mean that your taxes will increase the same level that your assessment has increased,” states the notice. “The mill rate will be adjusted accordingly in May once the budget has been determined. This makes it impossible for us to estimate what your taxes will be in June based on your current assessment.”

The assessed value of a property can be appealed based on several factors. The notice suggeests that homeowners can log on to a website called “SAMAView” (www.sama.sk.ca) to assist them in making a decision about whether to launch an appeal.

Information on the SAMAView website allows homeowners to verify their property assessment information, compare their assessment to similar or neighbouring properties plus get a general idea of assessed values in their municipality. The website is intended for property owners who will use it for non-commercial purposes.

In the City of Warman, initiating an assessment appeal requires an up-front fee of $100, which is refunded if the appeal is successful.

Having a lead foot has significantly lightened the wallet of a motorist caught speeding down a Saskatoon street.

A 19-year-old Corman Park man must pay a $440 speeding ticket after being stopped

by Saskatoon Police on Sunday night, March 17. At approximately 11:00 p.m. members of the Traffic Unit observed a half-ton truck traveling at 105 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on 105th Street near Packham Avenue.

The Saskatoon Police Service reminds motorists that speed limits are in place to ensure the safety of all those who use the roadways. Speed limits will be strictly enforced.

Man arrested after gunshots ring out in Hepburn Nobody was injured during a harrowing incident in the Town of Hepburn early Sunday morning, March 17.

According to Rosthern RCMP, officers were called at 1:36 a.m. to a complaint of a man armed with a shotgun threatening to harm another individual.

While police were en route to the scene, the suspect allegedly discharged the gun outside of the residence before going back inside. Police from surrounding detachments also respond-

ed to provide assistance. A perimeter was set up around the residence as the suspect made threats to harm police.

The suspect attempted to leave the area with his personal vehicle but was arrested without further incident.

The man was taken into custody and appeared in Provincial Court in Saskatoon on Monday morning, March 18.

There were no serious injuries in this incident and no injuries as a result of the gunshots outside of the residence.

Martensville turns water taps back on

By TERRY PUGH

A Boil Water Advisory order was lifted for the City of Martensville on Monday, March 18, as were drinking water restrictions for other communities north of Saskatoon.

But there’s a catch.

A separate Boil Water Advisory came into effect for Warman, Dalmeny, Hepburn and Hague at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19. The new precautionary drinking water advisory also applies to InterValley and Sask. Valley rural water utility pipeline customers north of Highway 305.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE

Get stories like this plus more photos before anyone else! Breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca

The ending of the Boil Water Advisory on Monday, March 15 for communities north of Saskatoon coincides with the lifting of similar orders for several neighbourhoods in the north end of the City of Saskatoon. Martensville, Warman and other centres are serviced by a potable water distribution pipeline that is connected to Saskatoon. A massive break in a major 24-inch watermain in Saskatoon on March 15 resulted in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. This created a situation where the water in the pipeline could potentially become contaminated, so the Boil Water Advisory was initiated.

Pressure was restored to the Saskatoon distribution pipeline soon after the watermain break was repaired. Water was extensively tested over a period of several days and was deemed safe for human consumption as of Monday, March 18.

Lee Reinhart, environmental

project officer with the Water Security Agency in Saskatoon, confirmed the Boil Water Advisory was lifted for Martensville.

“It’s good to go for Martensvile,” said Reinhart. “Basically the Boil Water Advisory has been rescinded for any users south of Highway 305.”

OSLER UNAFFECTED

Reinhart noted that the Boil Water Advisory did not apply to the Town of Osler, even though it is also on the same pipeline as other municipalities which were affected.

“Osler had enough water in its reserve storage system to enable it to continue through the last few days without residents having to boil water,” said Reinhart. “Osler was the only community with that reserve capacity. Warman, Hague, Hepburn and Dalmeny were all required to issue notices to residents advising them to boil water before drinking.”

WATER TESTS GOOD

The City of Martensville posted a notice on its website on Monday, March 18 indicating the Boil Water Advisory was effectively lifted at 1:00 p.m.

“All bacteriological samples taken by the City of Saskatoon and SaskWater have come back with good results,” stated the City of Martensville notice. “No positive bacteria were found in the two sets of samples. The City of Saskatoon has rescinded their PDWA for this area and proper measures have been taken to put the SaskWater North Treated Supply Pipeline distrbution system – and the Martensville distribution system – back into service.”

CITY HALL TAKING SHAPE Construction of the new Martensville City Hall on municipally-owned land next to the Civic Centre is going full steam ahead. Gabriel Construction is the general contractor, with several local sub-trades also involved in various stages of the project. The concrete pilings and foundation were laid shortly after the tender was awarded in February and steel girders were in place by mid-March. The walls were being put in place last week. The

new city hall will bring all municipal offices together under one roof. At the present time different departments are located in three separate buildings. If construction continues to proceed on schedule, the new facility should be ready for occupancy by the end of August. The total cost of construction is approximately $2.2 million, while the overall budget for the project, including landscaping and furnishings, will come to approximately $3 million.

Osler set to begin construction of fire hall

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Construction of a new fire hall in Osler is likely to start sometime this year, according to fire chief Jason Pauls.

“The servicing of the site for the new fire hall will be starting this spring,” said Pauls.

“The tenders for Phase 1 of the new fire hall building will be going out soon and we expect to see construction start shortly after that.”

The new fire hall, estimated to cost between $800,000 and $1 million, will be located north of the Osler Esso station on the Highway 11 frontage road.

Pauls outlined plans for the fire hall and the fire department’s ongoing fundraising efforts to finance the buildilng, during a community information meeting in Osler on Monday evening, March 18. The fire hall is one of several capital projects planned this year.

Drawings for the desperately needed facility were on display at the meeting. The building itself will be a two-storey structure measuring 100 feet long by 60 feet wide, with a 30-foothigh hose tower. Pauls said the building will have a sim-

ilar layout to the fire hall in Warman with office space and washrooms on one side, while the upstairs will be a training area. The building would be able to accommodate the fire department’s current vehicle fleet with room for additional vehicles in the future.

The building is being designed to incorporate computer and radio equipment and would serve as the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) headquarters in the event of a disaster or widespread emergency.

Pauls said the new fire hall will be constructed in stages, so that it can be used as soon as possible and gradually upgraded as funds become available.

He said the fire department has so far raised approximately $230,000 for the project, while the Town of Osler has also set aside a reserve fund for the new building.

“We probably have close to $350,000 right now when you take everything into account,” said Pauls. “We will probably still have to borrow between $300,000 and $400,000 to get construction started.”

He said the fire department fundraising efforts – which in-

clude the annual Osler Fireman’s Ball and the vehicle “Meltdown” contest – are annual in nature. The income from last weekend’s Fireman’s Ball has not yet been tallied, but Pauls said the department usually raises between $15,000 and $20,000 at the event.

Pauls said the Town of Osler has experienced unprecedented growth in the last few years, which has spurred the need for a new building. Currently, the fire department shares a building with the Town of Osler maintenance shop. The arrangement worked in the past, but it’s not feasible in the future, he said.

OSLER STORM SEWERS

One of the other big projects in the works for this year in Osler is a network of storm sewers.

Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said the storm sewer system is a “proactive” project aimed at facilitating growth in the town.

He noted that it’s important to put in underground fixtures prior to any roadwork and paving upgrades.

Speaking at the Osler Community Information meeting, Buhler said the community has

benefited from previous capital projects. He noted the old twoinch waterlines supplying the town were replaced by six-inch lines. The increased capacity not only ensured adequate water supplies for firefighting, but also boosted the town’s water reservoir capacity. Consequently, the town had enough water to supply the community’s needs without having to implement the recent Boil Water Advisory orders.

The main reason for the storm sewers, said Buhler, is that the community is floodprone. “There is only a fourinch grade difference from one end of town to the other,” said Buhler. “It’s pretty flat land and we have a drainage problem. “ The town is planning to run a network of storm sewer lines underground that would empty into a “dry pond” reservoir that would be constructed just east of the Osler Elementary School.

The retention pond, located on school division property, would double as a soccer field.

The proposal still needs to be approved by the Prairie Spirit School Division and Osler Town Council as part of its upcoming budget discussions.

Twin Rivers Corman Park earmarks money for equine facility Music Festival underway Brown confirmed that the park will be available to anyone in the RM, and may draw city people as well. Mervold made the motion to allocate $45,000 from municipal reserve funds to this project and it passed with only one dissenter.

It’s a short leap from dancing

The 12th annual edition of the Twin Rivers Music Festival was launched in Dalmeny on Monday, March 18, with musical events ongoing throughout the week. The event is scheduled to culminate with a Competition Awards Concert on Sunday, March 24.

This year will see the largest number of entries in the festival’s history, according to Doreen Benson, president of the Twin Rivers Music Festival Association.

The festival is open to the public and admission is by donation. The two festival venues are the Dalmeny Bible Church (406 Wakefield Avenue) and Dalmeny Community Church (121 - 4th Street).

The final Competition Awards Concert is slated for 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 24 at the Dalmeny Community Church. Admission to the awards concert is $3 per adult or $5 per family.

Adjudicators this year include Lana Ramsay for Junior Piano, Brian Uvernicht for Instrumental, Carol Konecsni-Christie for Senior Piano and Casey Peden for Vocal and Speech Arts.

A number of scholarships and awards are handed out to performers over the course of the festival. The event attracts music teachers and their students from several communities, including Dalmeny, Warman, Martensville, Osler, Hepburn, Biggar and Saskatoon.

The annual meeting of the Twin Rivers Music Festival Association is slated for April 1 at the Dalmeny Bible Church.

Wanuskewin presenting aboriginal youth celebration The first-ever Crocus – Aboriginal Youth Celebration is slated to take place this weekend at Wanuskewin Heritage Park.

The event will feature some of the province’s best established and youth artists in a variety of disciplines.

Starting Saturday, March 23 with a formal welcome and elder prayer at 12:30, the afternoon includes a beading workshop, jewelry-making and crafts as well as a dance perofrmance by the Confederation School Dance Troupe. Also on the schedule Saturday is a singing-marketing workshop presented by David St. Germain, a songwriting workshop by Terri Bear, a drumming workshop by Julian Kakum, a dance performance by Lamarr Oksasikewiyin plus numerous musical performances.

Sunday’s schedule includes additional dance performances and workshops plus an acting workshop by Curtis Peepeetuce and a playwriting workshop by Kenneth T. Williams.

An artisan demonstration and sale will be held both days as well.

All people from all nations are invited to attend.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is located two kilometres east of Wanuskewin Road on Penner Road (Twp. Road 380).

The Corman Park Horse Riders’ Association (CPHRA) made a successful bid for funding to RM councillors at their regular meeting March 19. Council agreed to allocate $45,000 of the municipal reserve fund for the development of an equine friendly park.

“I feel like dancing!” said Charlene Dalen-Brown, presenter for the CPHRA. “It’s pretty exciting for our group.

And, I know based on all the public support we’ve had for this, that the community will be overjoyed.”

About a year ago, the CPHRA began promoting their vision to develop an equine friendly park south of the South Corman Park School.

The dream stayed alive in spite of obstacles and opposition: obstacles like acquiring the lease for the public reserve land they wanted to use, and some wrangling with the South Corman Park Community Association.

Dalen-Brown along with Colleen Kellett, presented the CPHRA’s plan for moving forward, to be completed in four phases, as well as a budget. “What we want to do is complete the phases as we get funding. Once the park is developed we will be able to create money from the use of the park,” said Brown.

She also indicated that if they get the money, they can complete all four phases this year.

The request for funding came with a time constraint.

Brown said, “We have an opportunity to request Community Initiatives Funding (CIF) which is a provincial grant and the application needs to be in before April 1 and they will match other funding that we get,” and whatever decision the Council made, she hoped it would be soon.

Though councillor David Fox supports the project, the request for funding prompted surprise. “I’m thinking back to your original presentation and concept that you brought to council. As I recall you were excited about the project and stated that it wasn’t going to cost the RM anything. So I’m surprised that you’re asking us for anything.”

Brown understands the surprise. The original concept has grown to include more trails, parks and arenas. “People on the committee are thinking big things. They want to have people there using that park.

They want to have a concession stand, they want to have

Colleen Kellett (left) and Charlene Dalen-Brown request funding from RM Council to begin work on the Corman Park Horse Riders’ Association equine park water, and facilities for toilets,” said Brown. “People are excited and they want to see it grow.

There’s nothing like that in our area and they want to see it developed.”

The proposed budget totals $91,145 which includes $17,780 for chain link fencing to be erected between the horse park and the preschool children nearby, a requirement of the RM. Much of the labour cost will be absorbed by volunteers.

Councillor Sherry Mervold spoke in support of the project: “This has become a big project and I think this is something the RM can be really proud

Councillor Joanne Janzen congratulated Dalen-Brown and Kellett. “You deserve a volunteer service award of some kind. To have brought such a vision out of a piece of hay land and to watch this dream grow is truly amazing. I believe that the municipal reserve is created for just such projects as this.

BALANCING ACT Martensville Community Access Centre programs rely heavily on fundraising efforts

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) is a busy place these days, with more and more people participating in programs and making use of its services.

But, even as the volunteer-run centre steps up its efforts to find new ways to reach out to youth and seniors, it’s also working to raise funds so it can keep its doors open for another year.

It’s an ongoing balancing act, according to MCAC Coordinator Kristee Lynn Adrian.

“We’re exploring all the avenues,” she explained in a recent interview.

“We rely heavily on grants and we’ve been fortunate in securing a new one to ensure funding for our youth project. We’re also pursuing sponsorships from businesses and indivduals in the community. We’re looking for funding wherever we can find it.”

The funding required to run the programs is a bargain, largely because the centre utilizes volunteers from the community whenever possible.

The centre held its annual general meeting last Wednesday at the Martensville Civic Centre. At that meeting, the centre’s financial picture, fundraising efforts, and programming schedule were outlined.

“We have a lot of kids that use our ‘Ah-Ha Homework Club’ service after school and in the evenings,” explained Adrian. “We are getting more high school kids involved as mentors and tutors for the younger kids. Some of the high school kids see it as a way of preparing themselves for a teaching career. They’ve set their sights on university.”

One of the most popular ongoing programs at the MCAC is the ‘Baby Babble’ and ‘Toddler Talk’ sessions.

These allow parents of young children to get together for socializing and to hear talks from experts on many ar-

eas of parenting.

“We recently had a speaker on ‘poison prevention’ in the home,” she recalled. “It’s a topic that is very important, but one that you don’t always think about.”

She noted the talks are for parents of youngsters up to and including preschool years.

“We have activities for kids to do while the talks are taking place,” she said. “Everyone is welcome.”

Adrian noted the MCAC is looking to include more programs and services for older adults and seniors.

“One of the things we’re trying to implement is a service whereby seniors are able to find connections for rides in the community and outside the community,” she said. “Lots of seniors may have appointments in Saskatoon they have to get to but may not have transportation.”

Overall, the centre’s goal is “healthy families, healthy communities,” said Adrian. The centre’s website is www. communityaccesscentre.ca .

Edmonton man left in cold at side of highway after truck stolen FROM THE CELL BLOCK Submitted by

SGT. WARREN GHERASIM Warman RCMP

On March 12 at 6:23 p.m.

RCMP received a call from a man near Maymont who advised that his truck had been stolen. The man advised police that he was giving a ride to an acquaintance when he stopped the vehicle near Maymont to urinate at the side of the road.

While outside of his vehicle, his passenger – a 30-year-old Edmonton woman – got into the driver’s seat and stole the truck, leaving the man at the side of the highway. A bulletin was forwarded to area RCMP detachments and the truck was located a short while later by the Maidstone RCMP. The woman was arrested and the truck recovered. The matter is still under investigation.

LANGHAM COLLISION

On March 12 at 9:49 a.m. police received a call of a single vehicle collision on Highway 16 near the Langham weigh scales. A 2004 Ford Expedition left the roadway, hit the ditch and flipped on to its side. The driver, a 34-year-old Edmonton woman, was injured and was transported to hospital in Saskatoon with non-life threatening injuries. The matter is still under investigation. Road surface conditions were icy at the time of the collision.

USE CAUTION ON ROADS

On March 11 RCMP received 16 reports of collisions on area highways in and around Saskatoon. Three of those crashes resulted in injuries where subjects were transported to hospital. Road conditions were icy and many of the highways had lane reductions due to drifting snow. Winter driving can be especially treacherous during mild temperatures as highways become prone to black ice. Drivers should be

cautioned that they are expected to reduce their speed to safe levels and that if their vehicle leaves the roadway they may be charged for driving too fast for road conditions.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

On March 16 at 2:08 p.m.

RCMP received a call of an erratic driver on Highway 16 near Saskatoon. A concerned motorist advised that the vehicle had six occupants and was speeding and weaving on the roadway.

Police located a 1996 Ford Taurus which matched the description provided to police. Upon speaking with the driver it was obvious that she displayed symptoms of impairment from alcohol consumption. The woman was arrested and taken to the police detachment where she provided samples of her breath that were almost double the legal limit. A 31-year-old North Battleford woman was later released on charges of impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol reading in excess of the legal limit. The vehicle was towed and the woman’s licence suspended for 90 days.

DRUNK DRIVER BUSTED

On March 17 at 2:30 a.m.

RCMP officers were patrolling in Warman when they observed a vehicle proceed southbound through a stop sign on 1st Avenue North in Warman.

Police followed the vehicle and stopped it on Railway Avenue.

The driver displayed signs of impairment from alcohol consumption and was arrested.

The man was taken to the police detachment where he provided samples of his breath that were double the legal limit. An 18-year-old Warman man was later released on charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol that exceeded the legal limit. The man’s driver’s license was suspended for 90 days.

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA MARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

Our government is committed to ensuring Saskatchewan remains the best place in Canada to live, work and raise a family. To that end, we have announced that education property tax rates will be reduced in this week’s budget. The overall value of property in Saskatchewan has increased by 67 per cent over the last five years, which could have meant significant property tax increases. Reducing education property tax rates will help mitigate those increases. While some property owners may still see their taxes go up, others will go down and the overall impact in terms of re-assessment will be revenue neutral across Saskatchewan. When we first took office five years ago, property taxes funded about 60 percent of K-12 school costs. Because of changes made by our government, education property taxes now only fund about 35 per cent of those costs, with the remainder being covered by the provincial government. With a growing population and increased school enrolment, ensuring school divisions have the financial support they need is an im-

portant component in planning for growth.

Minutes after delivering his first official speech as leader, he came out in support of Dwain

idence had been entered and some personal items and loose change were stolen. The thefts are believed to have occurred sometime overnight the previous evening. No suspects have yet been identified and the matter remains under investigation.

ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN

On March 12 a break-in attempt was reported to the RCMP. A business on Centennial Dr. N., Martensville advised that the chain on their fenced compound had been cut and an attempt to enter the business was made by trying to cut through the screen on a window. Entry was not gained and damage was minimal. The matter is being investigated and no suspects have yet been identified.

WARMAN BREAK-IN

On March 13 RCMP received a complaint of a break-in to a residential garage sometime over the previous couple of days at a residence on Nelson Place in Warman. Some damage was done inside the garage and the door appears to have been kicked open. Two guitar amps and a tool box were stolen. There is no suspect information at this time and police are investigating.

PIKE LAKE VEHICLE FIRE

On March 14 at 11:10 p.m. police received a call for assistance from the Delisle Fire Department who were near the Pike Lake Provincial Park at the scene of a vehicle fire that had been reported by a nearby resident. Police attended and determined that the vehicle, which was completely destroyed, belonged to a Saskatoon resident. The vehicle had been parked near a licensed premises on 22nd Street when it had been stolen from the area. It is unknown who took the vehicle and police are investigating.

they discovered a 2007 GMC Sierra pick-up truck abandoned at the side of the road. Investigation revealed that the truck had been recently stolen from a residence in Langham.

The owner had left the vehicle parked in his driveway, unlocked, with the keys inside.

The vehicle contents had been gone through, but it does not appear that anything of value was inside to be taken. The vehicle was towed and police are investigating.

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

On March 11 at 8:36 a.m. police received a report of vandalism from an apartment building on Centennial Dr. in Warman. The building manager indicated that an alarm panel and electrical boxes had been damaged. Video footage obtained from security cameras showed two male youths inside the building inflicting damage upon the equipment.

Both youths were identified and police subsequently arrested a 13-year-old Warman youth who was later released on a charge of mischief. A 15-yearold Warman youth was investigated and issued a caution under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The second youth played a very minor role in the offence.

KNIFE THREAT

On March 17 at 6:11 p.m. police received a call from a man at a gas station in Langham.

The man reported that he had approached another man outside of the gas bar and had knocked on the man’s car window to speak with him. When the man opened the window he displayed a knife to the complainant and then drove away.

Identities of both men are known and police are investigating. No one was injured and no arrests have yet been made or charges laid.

On March 16 at 8:49 a.m.

RCMP received a call of a do-

nor cuts and bruising, but did not require hospitalization. A 24-year-old man was released on charges of assault and uttering threats. The matter is scheduled for domestic violence court in Saskatoon on March 26.

The City of Martensville is gearing up for several more years of growth by expanding its sewage lagoon.

Tenders for construction of an additional cell in the municipal lagoon were opened on March 5 and proposals from interested contractors were to be submitted by the deadline of Tuesday, March 19. The tender notice was posted on SaskTenders, the provincial government’s website.

According to the tender notice, the work will consist of construction of a clay-lined holding cell of approximately 215,000 cubic meters of excavation, 10,400 square meters of

erosion protection, and related appurtenances.

The lagoon expansion project is being handled through Catterall and Wright Consulting Engineers, the engineering firm that regularly facilitates major construction projects for the City of Martensville.

The expansion is one of several projects currently in the works by the City of Martensville aimed at building capacity for future growth while also mitigating ongoing problems related to surface flooding. The project was approved by council as part of its capital projects budget.

A decision on the successful bid is expected prior to the end of March and work is likely to begin as soon as possible.

Then when asked about his position on the Keystone XL pipeline project, Broten was all over the map. At first, he wouldn’t say where he stood. Then he said he wanted to wait for National Energy Board approval.

It turns out, though, that Keystone received NEB approval three years ago. Broten ended his first week in his new job by saying he did support Keystone, despite the fact that in May 2012 he voted against a motion to support the project.

NDP rural problems start at top

C O M M E N T A R Y

Senators, MPs need to enter the 21st century

By GREGORY THOMAS

Canadian Taxpayers Association

Now that Senator Mike Duffy has agreed to pay back his $42,000 housing allowance, it’s time for Canadians to put some heat on all Senators and Members of Parliament to come clean about how they spend taxpayer dollars. And it’s time to ditch the housing allowance all together and relax current residency requirements for Senators.

Since 1867, the Constitution has required Senators to own at least $4,000 of real estate in the province they represent. It also requires them to “be a resident” of the province or territory.

Canada’s two best-known Senators, Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy, are under fire for claiming housing allowances, and critics are asking whether they are actually “residents” of Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island.

The Constitution was written before the invention of driver’s licenses and provincial health cards (items that would help prove “residency”), and before some provinces, like PEI, started stipulating that you need to live there for at least 183 days a year to be a resident. It was also written before an expanding Senate schedule of sittings and committee work started making it tough, if not impossible, to meet a 183-day residency requirement in any city other than Ottawa.

Of course, these residency requirements are not placed on Members of Parliament, otherwise Prime Minister Harper wouldn’t be able to stand for election in Calgary. Similarly, NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brousseau wouldn’t have been able to seek and win election in rural Quebec as an Ottawa-region resident.

While opening the Constitution to remove residency requirements for Senators is highly unlikely, naming Senators as “ residents” by provincial cabinets might just be a plausible work-around.

Wallin stays in hotels when in Ottawa, maintains homes in Toronto, Manhattan and Wadena, Saskatchewan – and apparently – spent 138 days in Saskatchewan last year. Mike Duffy similarly keeps Air Canada in business ferrying him back and forth to PEI, where he has a cottage. Duffy’s schedule, like Wallin’s, probably isn’t going to get him a PEI health card anytime soon.

Duffy and Wallin are targets because they’re both celebrities, and they’ve claimed the Senate’s $21,000 yearly Ottawa housing allowance even though Duffy probably lives in Ottawa, not PEI, and Wallin probably lives in Toronto, not Wadena. Also caught in the dragnet is Senator Dennis Patterson, who represents Nunavut, although he probably lives in Vancouver.

Lost in the matter are the original offenders, newly-independent Senator Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Senator Mac Harb, who have been pocketing the $21,000 yearly allowance, even though they’ve both lived nowhere but Ottawa for a very long time, and they both represent the Ottawa area in the Senate.

The blame and the scorn for these Senators’ expense shenanigans should fall on every member of the Senate and every MP. For starters, the housing allowance for maintaining a second home in Ottawa was only brought into place in 1990. Before that Senators and MPs used their healthy salaries to find modest accommodations while in Ottawa. Now, the housing allowance is simply another way for politicians to pocket taxfree income.

If the Senate deems the current level of remuneration for being a Senator insufficient to also cover the cost of renting a bed while in Ottawa, they should make their case to the public for it to be increased. But the bottom line is that it should all be rolled into one, lump-sum salary so that nobody can be accused of gaming the system in the future.

However, eliminating or rolling the housing allowance into the current salary might solve half the problem; it doesn’t address the decided lack of transparency and accountability of how MP and Senators’ budgets are spent.

Anybody can go on the internet and examine expense receipts for any Alberta MLA or any Toronto city councillor, including Alberta’s premier and Toronto’s mayor. But MPs and Senators have placed themselves above the auditor general, and outside the federal Access to Information Act, and refused to release their expense receipts to the public.

So long as Senators and MPs can access public money, tax free, with no accountability and no disclosure, we will keep having these expense scandals.

AUDITED CIRCULATION: 15,202

You don’t need to look any further than the current makeup of the Saskatchewan Legislature to see how far removed the NDP is from rural Saskatchewan.

Of the 58 current seats (soon to grow to 61 in 2015), 27 are located in the four major cities and two more represent the northern ridings.

The remaining 29 seats are what we call rural seats, although some may question whether ridings representing Yorkton, North Battleford and Swift Current should really be called rural.

Nevertheless, of those 29 rural seats, all are represented by Saskatchewan Party MLAs. Most of these seats were won by the Sask.

Party in 2011 by majorities of 70 per cent or more. (In fact, of the 49 seats the Sask. Party won in 2011, only two – both urban seats – were won with less than 50 per cent of the popular vote.)

The magnitude of how badly the NDP did in rural Saskatchewan last election was somewhat shocking, but we have come to expect the NDP to do poorly in rural Saskatchewan.

The NDP only had one rural seat prior to 2011 – Len Taylor’s The Battlefords riding.

And in 2003 while still in government, the NDP only won Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan Rivers and The Battlefords.

One would have to go back to Roy Romanow NDP wins of 1991 and 1995 to find the last time we saw anything vaguely resembling an actual rural NDP caucus. Really, the NDP rural base ended with Allan Blakeney’s huge loss to Grant Devine’s Progressive Conservatives in 1982.

So why haven’t the NDP done well in rural Saskatchewan? Well, it’s likely more than one single thing.

Even before Devine, the NDP had already grown out of touch with a changing rural Saskatchewan, no longer dependent on pools and cooperatives and today more dependent on resource commodities like oil and potash and the free marketing of grain.

One can also point to NDP government policies like closing rural hospitals in 1993, ripping up the GRIP contracts with farmers in 1991, allowing unfairly high education taxes on agricultural land, or even calling an election in the middle of harvest in 1999.

But the real NDP problem in ru-

Provincial Politics

ral Saskatchewan goes back even longer than that and it begins at the top.

It hasn’t had a rural-based leader in half a century.

Biggar’s Woodrow Lloyd was the last NDP leader to represent a rural riding. That was 50 years ago. In fact, Lloyd and Tommy Douglas were the only NDP leaders who represented rural ridings.

Dwain Lingenfelter was once a young farmer and Shaunavon MLA. But he left rural Saskatchewan for the safety of a city seat for a quarter century.

In fact, the only recent NDP leadership hopefuls who could claim to be rural-based candidates were Maynard Sonntag and Nettie Wiebe. Other NDP leadership hopefuls could

only claim to having been born or raised in rural Saskatchewan.

For example, the candidate closest to having rural credentials in this past leadership race was Dr. Ryan Meili who was raised on a Moose Jaw-area farm.

By contrast, the Sask. Party has never had an urban leader or leadership candidate.

New NDP leader Cam Broten goes into his new job without a rural background and without any rural caucus members. And with the new electoral boundaries preserving rural seats, the NDP has no hope of forming government any time soon.

Rebuilding the NDP’s rural base after 40 or 50 years will be that much more difficult, given that the surviving NDP rural membership is getting older.

Broten will simply have to find another way to connect with rural Saskatchewan – no easy task for a leader whose connections to the rural areas are tenuous at best.

He is hardly the first NDP leader to suffer this problem.

Stage comedy Moon Over Buffalo shines brightly

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

W

hat’s the difference between an illusion and a dream?

For George and Charlotte Hay, a married couple whose glory days on the Broadway stage are long gone, the distinction is blurry. The pair of veteran actors love their craft, but are less than enamoured with their present circumstances.

They’re performing in two different shows on alternating nights in a repertory theatre in Buffalo – at the opposite end of the state from the glamour of New York City and light years away from the fortune and fame of Hollywood, California.

Still, it’s a living. And there’s always a chance – however slim – of getting that big break.

George and Charlotte are living an illusion and calling it a dream. The show must go on, after all – even if everything that can possibly go wrong in a performance – actually goes wrong.

What’s great about Moon Over Buffalo, the latest offering by the Scared Scriptless Players of Warman, is that everything that was supposed to go wrong went wrong – which meant it went right. When a community theatre company can pull off a scripted comedy of errors – and make it look easy – it’s a real tribute to the cast and crew.

Moon Over Buffalo is a funny, fast-paced comedy whose memorable characters, fastpaced action and witty dialogue kept the audience in stitches during the opening night performance at the Brian King Centre on Friday, March 15.

Directed by Carol Affleck, the production was a blend of slapstick and pathos that borrowed all kinds of stage references from Shakespeare to the Marx Brothers. Set in 1953, when television was just coming into its own and the Hollywood movie studio system was at its zenith, the future seemed uncertain for stage actors. But as George tells Charlotte in a

semi-serious moment at the end of the play: there’s always a need for people like themselves – people who aren’t very organized or very financially stable – but who live life to the fullest. Actors, he tells her, provide a vicarious escape for regular folks who live humdrum, workaday lives.

George Hay is portrayed expertly by Russ Ramsden, who manages to capture in equal measure both the strengths and weaknesses of his character. George is a lovable cad with a weakness for pretty girls, but he still deeply loves his wife. When both his personal and professional life fall apart simultaneously, he turns to the bottle in spectacular fashion. Ramsden relishes the challenge, and the audience is treated to George’s ham-inclined personality taking centre stage. The classically-trained actor recites snippets from Shakespeare’s King Lear while swaying drunkenly and precariously on the edge of the stage; appears majestically outof-place in a Cyrano de Bergerac costume in a scene that calls for him to be dressed as an elegant upper-crust Englishman; and stumbles luckily into a second chance at saving both his marriage and his career.

Charlotte Hay is elegantly played by Dawn Bell. Like her husband, Charlotte is a walking contradiction. Her vain and petty tendencies are balanced by her deep love for her family.

She’s tempted to be unfaithful, but the temptation for a movie career proves stronger for her, and in the end, her love for her husband proves stronger still.

Charlotte is the perfect foil for George – a fact laid out early for the audience when they first encounter the couple – literally sword fighting in a scene from a play they are rehearsing.

The supporting cast does a great job making the play click.

Since that time, life has opened up a world of opportunity. Kori does hair and esthetics and takes care of the beautification process in the back of the shop while Cory serves those who want to get inked, up front.

Cory was in the construction industry but ongoing pain in his feet eventually made him look for the next thing he would love to do.

“Art was a big thing for me and I had happened to be getting some ink done. The tattooing industry is something that had always intrigued me.”

He took a course to learn how to do it properly. “After a certain period of time, I went to the Saskatoon Health Region and challenged the course and I did very well with that. It gave

wise-cracking mother-in-law, who despises George with a passion that is returned measure for measure by her sonin-law. Linsey Gatzke is convincing as Roz, the daughter of George and Charlotte, who tries to find a life outside the theatre but who is inevitably sucked back into the lure of the spotlight. Tom Ball does a fine job as the more-or-less straight man – the theatre manager who also does a bit of act-

ing on the side and still carries a torch for Roz. Linley Redford portrays Roz’s new-found fiancé Howard with a wide-eyed innocence, while Shannon Landels plays the crafty young actress Eileen with the perfect mix of teary-eyed cutesy-pie pout and threatening look. Darren Zimmer rounds out the cast with his portrayal of a semi-sleazy but basically honest lawyer who’s hopelessly in love with Charlotte.

The three-person crew, consisting of Jim MacRae, Christine Unger and Carol Affleck, kept the production rolling smoothly. This show, which played Friday, Saturday and Sunday, was the fifth annual for the Scared Scriptless Players (formerly the Warman Drama Club). The club once again raised the bar, and showed why the members received an award last year from the City of Warman for their efforts.

Warman Local History exhibit may be on move to Legends Centre

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Local History exhibit will likely have a new home at the Legends Centre later this year.

The exhibit, which features memorabilia from Warman’s 107-year history, is currently housed in a meeting room that is part of the Warman branch of the Wheatland Regional Library on Klassen Street.

But the library is scheduled to move later this year to the new Warman Community Middle School, which is currently under construction. When that happens, the municipallyowned library building faces an uncertain future.

But, what is certain, is that the local history exhibit needs to find a different space.

Sharon Martens, a former

Warman City Councilor who has been a key member of the Warman Local History committee since its inception in 2006, says there have been ongoing discussions about a future home for the exhibit.

“We made a presentation to city council earlier this winter asking what their plans were for the building,” said Martens in a recent interview. “There are a lot of factors to consider, but our main concern was finding a new place that was suitable for the artifacts that we have in our current collection.”

She said the committee was recently told that the most likely scenario would be for the exhibit to be housed in permanent display cases in the upper lobby area at the Legends Centre.

The most appropriate location would be adjacent to the cur-

Martens said there are both advantages and disadvantages to the arrangement. “On the one hand, it certainly opens the display up to the public a lot more,” she said. “But, on the other hand, there won’t be as much space and we’ll be limited as to what we can put in there.”

In a way, she added, moving to the Legends Centre is a process that has come full circle.

“When the original plans for the Warman Sport and Cultural Village were being discussed, having that cultural componenet was always part of the vision. This will help bring some of that cultural aspect back into the mix.”

The SRC’s mobile pyrolysis unit can process organic materials into fertilizer and fuel

Pyrolysis turning leftovers into dollars for farmers

By KIRA OLFERT

kira_mchaggis@yahoo.ca

Thanks to the efforts at the Saskatchewan Research Council, Saskatchewan farmers and producers could soon have an option available to them which would help them turn residues from their productions into viable and possibly commercialized materials.

Dr. Erin Powell is the project head for SRC’s Pyrolysis program. As Dr. Powell explains,

Pyrolysis is the process by which “any kind of organic leftovers, like wheat or flax straw or poultry droppings, are broken down in a chamber which uses heat without oxygen. In essence, this process decomposes the organic material without oxygen or combustion.”

The results of this process are bio-char, bio-oil and a gas – all of which have possible uses as fertilizers or fuels which could, in turn, help to offset producers’ input costs.

Currently, SRC’s Pyrolysis program is in the test phase, which sees its mobile Pyrolysis unit process up to a tonne of organic material in a day. Within the next few years, Dr. Powell hopes that the mobile Pyrolysis unit – which can be pulled on a trailer behind a truck – will be available for use by farmers throughout the area. She also hopes the project will grow to include processing of organic materials from more animals and from ethanol.

She adds that interest from farmers in the area is already strong and many of them have donated materials for testing purposes.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture has provided funding for this project.

The Rural Municipality of Rosthern No. 403, due to the above average precipitation levels and the geographic nature of the area, has been experiencing major flooding events in recent years, especially during spring runoff. It is important for landowners and residents to be prepared for flooding events, and to take all available precautions to ensure that destruction of property is avoided. The Rural Municipality of Rosthern No. 403 continues to take steps to mitigate flooding, by annually clearing out ditches, culverts, and other public high flow areas and structures; however if you observe ditches and/or culverts that are plugged in any way, please contact the R.M. office at (306)-232-4393 and crew will be dispatched accordingly Water Security Agency The R.M. has no jurisdiction in the area of watershed management on private property. All inquiries with regards to drainage problems, projects, or complaints on private property should be directed to the Water Security Agency. This includes any proposed project that would drain water from one piece of land to another, in particular when ownership in parcels in not the same. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency formerly the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority is the responsible body for all water bodies and supplies within the Province, charged with mandate to manage, administer, develop, control and protect the water, watersheds and related land resources of Saskatchewan. Including in this mandate, the Water Security Agency has the responsibility for administering the approval process for constructing and operation of drainage works.

The construction and operation of most drainage works requires a pre-approval from the Water Agency, however all projects should be discussed with the Agency staff prior to application submissions to ensure that approval is required and that all necessary steps are completed. In some cases approvals can take up to 4-6 weeks, so it is advised to begin discussing with the Agency staff well in advance of planned projects.

GENERAL INFORMATION The R.M. encourages residents to be proactive in protecting their properties from flood waters, and to take steps to arrange for the use of any pumps, or other supplies that may be required, as the municipality is unable to provide such items for public use. These items become difficult to find during high demand times such as during a spring flooding event, so the R.M. urges those who may be in need to make arrangements well in advance of the anticipated time of need, in the event of a major flooding event, where residents wish to sandbag their property.

The R.M. of Rosthern No. 403 falls within the North Battleford Regional Office of the Water Security Agency, located at 402 Royal Bank Tower 1101-101st Street, and can be reached by phone at (306) 446-7450. Further information can be obtained by calling the Regional office or by visiting their website, at www.wsask.ca For any questions or to report flood prevention work that needs to be carried out by the R.M. staff please call the office at (306) 232-4393.

Boil Water Advisory due to regular system maintenance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

The City of Saskatoon likewise issued a similar statement indicating the neighbourhoods of Lawson Heights, River Heights, Silverwood Heights, Kelsey Woodlawn, Agriplace, Marquis Industrial, North Industrial and Hudson Bay Industrial, as well as other pipeline utilities and municipalities north of Saskatoon were back in service.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE

The freedom to drink straight from the tap was short-lived for every community but Martensville, however.

A new Boil Water Advisory took effect at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19 for Warman, Dalmeny, Hague and Hepburn, as well as portions of rural water utility pipelines north of Highway 305.

The continuation of the boil water advisory is actually due to a separate event that is not related to the recent watermain break in Saskatoon, noted Reinhart.

“It’s actually due to a maintenance procedure scheduled for Tuesday, March 19,” said Reinhart. “That routine shutdown was planned well ahead of time. It’s a coincidence that the watermain break occurred just before the maintenance was to take place.”

The new Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the water is guaranteed to be safe for human consumption –likely to be Friday, March 22 at the earliest.

Federal gov’t helps boost exports in high quality genetics The Canadian Livestock Genetics Association (CLGA) will help increase demand for Canadian genetics around the world with the support of the Harper Government. Member of Parliament Blaine Calkins (Wetaskiwin), on behalf of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced the investment March 15 at Morsan Farms, a worldclass dairy farm that specializes in breeding and exporting genetics.

“Canada is a leading supplier of livestock genetics in the global marketplace,” said MP Calkins. “Investments like this help the industry penetrate new markets, maintain greater competitiveness in existing markets, and increase overall exports. Our government un-

derstands that trade creates jobs, economic growth, and keeps the economy strong.”

The investment of over $1 million will help the CLGA implement its long-term international market development strategy for dairy and smallruminant genetics. It will also help the CLGA expand and regain international markets for live cattle, semen, and embryos, and market its strong dairy cattle improvement and genetic evaluation programs. These efforts will underline the positive attributes associated with Canada’s international reputation and will further raise the image of Canadian agricultural products. Planned activities include the following: participating in trade advocacy meetings

and leading trade missions, delivering training and education seminars, working to develop new markets, and undertaking market assessments for emerging markets.

“CLGA very much appreciates the market development support provided through the AgriMarketing Program,” said Rick McRonald, CLGA Executive Director. “Along with industry funding, this investment helps us promote Canada’s high-performing dairy, sheep, and goat genetics, and our innovative genetic evaluation and management systems, to enhance technical market access and to ensure that buyers have the knowledge and skills to maximize the potential of their investment. These ini-

tiatives support the marketing efforts of CLGA members and bring value to every producer.”

Canada is a net exporter of dairy animal genetics (bovine embryos, semen, and live dairy cattle). Canadian dairy genetics were exported to over 100 countries in 2012, with a value of $110 million.

Through the AgriMarketing Program under Growing Forward, the Government of Canada is investing $88 million to help industry implement longterm international strategies, including international market development, industry-to-industry trade advocacy, and consumer awareness and branding activities.

This announcement is another example of what is being

done to enhance competitiveness for Canadian agricultural exports. The Government of Canada has achieved six new free-trade agreements that have opened the doors of diverse in-

ternational markets to Canadian agricultural products. In fact, the Government of Canada has also identified market development as a priority under Growing Forward 2.

Pasture patrons association making strides in Sask.

The Community Pasture Patrons Association of Saskatchewan now officially represents the majority of AAFC (former PFRA) pastures across Saskatchewan.

The interim directors of the Association have concentrated their efforts attending pasture meetings across the province.

Pasture patrons have strongly supported the association and the need to work together in seeking solutions for a longterm viable system suitable to livestock producers, and the livestock industry in our province.

Although membership is of utmost importance, the directors will now focus their attention to working on solutions that ensure patrons have continued access to affordable grazing, professional livestock management, and long-term land sustainability.

“We have made milestones in such a short time,” says Joanne Brochu. “Bringing to lite the seriousness of losing a vital part of our grazing opportunities, along with many other aspects that are directly tied to the AAFC pasture program is what has driven me in my work. Cattle numbers have been on a steady decline in our province and we need a program that will enhance the livestock industry, not promote a further decline. Retaining the expertise in land management and protecting our environment will ensure long-term grazing opportunities for generations to come.”

“When the transition process started all pastures were shocked and thought this would be the end of the PF pastures,” added Brent Cammer of Swift Current. “The original policy position to buy the pastures and assets would have made many pastures uneconomical.

CPPAS Interim Directors have travelled throughout the Province and have listened to patron’s wants and needs. Out of these meetings and teleconference calls with the 1st ten pastures to be transitioned CPPAS has come up with options that will help make pastures viable.”

Interim chair of CPPAS, Ian McCreary, says the group has shared the approach taken in

Manitoba with patron groups across this province. The Manitoba option recognizes the many public benefits of these pastures and reflects only the grazing costs to patrons. To that end, McCreary indicated patrons in Saskatchewan want this approach to get actively reviewed.

“Patrons have a strong concern that the pace of change is too fast. There are more questions than answers and without more information, hasty and perhaps incorrect decisions may get made. Now is the time to consider a one year delay for the first ten pastures.”

The CPPAS steering committee will be actively meeting with elected officials, industry groups and other interested parties in an effort to find a long term sustainable solution for the pastures. As the PFRA pasture system was one of the most successful programs globally and has received recognition for such, the need for communication and partnerships is of utmost importance. It is through a strong communication process with all stakeholders that the group hopes will achieve a program in the province that meets the needs of all; not only for this generation, but generations to come.

SARM officials welcome added funding for roads, rural doctors The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) is pleased by announcements made this week

by Provincial Officials at the Association’s 2013 Annual Convention in Saskatoon.

On Tuesday, March 12, Minister of Government Relations, Jim Reiter announced that the Ministry is working toward an immediate increase in road maintenance agreement rates. The increase is meant to provide rural municipalities (RMs) with some financial relief prior to the conclusion of the study on road maintenance agreements rates being undertaken by the Province. “The interim increase in these rates is an important step in the right direction”, stated SARM President David Marit.

The Honorable Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan, brought more good news to SARM delegates on Wednesday morning, announcing increased funding for the Municipal Roads for the Economy Program (MREP) in the upcoming Provincial Budget. “RMs require government funding to better the province’s road network to facilitate development. We are excited to see what additional funds will be available to RMs in the Budget to develop our vital road infrastruc-

ture”, said President Marit.

The Premier also announced a new program for doctors working in rural Saskatchewan. The Rural Physician Incentive Program

will provide up to $120,000 in funding for recent medical graduates who establish their practice in rural communities. “We are very pleased to hear about the new incentive

Vipers get jump on Barons in Bantam AA provincial playoff series

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Sask Valley Vipers got a leg up on the Battleford Barons in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League playoffs last weekend, winning the first game of the best-of-three series 6-4 at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, March 16.

The two teams tangled again Tuesday, March 19 in North Battleford following the Gazette press deadline. A third game, if necessary, was slated for Wednesday, March 20 at the Legends Centre in Warman.

During the regular season, the Vipers finished third in the standings with 33 points while the Barons were fourth with 28 points.

The Barons got on the scoreboard first, registering a quick goal, but the Vipers were able to tie things up by the first intermission. Sask Valley rebounded in the second frame, scoring three times while only allowing one, and the two teams each scored two goals in the final 20 minutes.

Brady MacPherson led the way for Sask Valley with a hat trick, while Carson Albrecht added a pair of goals and Scotty Stewart registered a single marker. Keegan Tringer, Owen Lamb Brandon Lesko and Blake Fennig scored for the

Barons. Vipers goalie Joel Gryzbowski faced 26 shots while Barons netminder Matthew Flath blocked 22 pucks.

“It wasn’t the prettiest win of the season for us, that’s for sure,” said Vipers coach Shaun Priel after the game. “We started slow and didn’t get our feet moving and they came at us hard in the first period. We faced a lot of pressure in our own zone. Fortunately, we had good goaltending and were able to make it out of the first period with a tie. During the break we challenged the kids and they responded well. They came back, we got some good bounces and scored some goals in the second and were able to put some separation between the teams.”

Midway through the third period, when the Vipers were up by a score of 6-2, some “bad habits” started to kick in and down came the guard. In the space of a couple minutes the Barons had scored twice and seemed to have momentum on their side.

“There was a little too much puck-watching and not enough effort put into picking up the checks in our own zone,” said Priel. “We were giving them space and opportunities – and they took advantage of that.”

Vipers captain Liam Maley agreed his team came out of the gate slow and had to play with extra effort in order to climb

Sask Valley Vipers defenseman Levi Kleiboer gives goaltender Joel Gryzbowski a hand in front of the net while Issac Jackson (far right) keeps an eye on Battlefords Barons forwards Owen Lamb and Blake Oborowsky out of an early hole.

“We didn’t start very good,” Maley conceded. “But we picked it up in the second and third.

One thing we really have to work on in the next game is our defensive zone coverage. We

have to be a lot better behind our own blue line.”

Maley said the team has a lot of confidence right now. “I think we’ve got a great group of guys in the dressing room,” he said. “When we’re playing

good, everything seems to click.

Everybody communicates well and we get along good.”

Priel said this year’s edition of the Vipers may not have the elite players that played a big role in last year’s playoff run,

but there’s more depth.

“We don’t have the top-end players, but we have a lot of balance,” he said. “And when you have that kind of depth you can usually count on any of your lines to score when it counts.”

Varsity Reds capture University Cup

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds captured the PotashCorp CIS Men’s Hockey University Cup in dramatic style on Sunday, March 17, defeating the University of St. Mary’s Huskies 2-0 at Credit Union Centre.

The Varsity Reds were one of the top six university hockey teams to converge on Saskatoon for the national hockey championship on March 14-17.

SASK VS. UNB

The host University of Saskatchewan Huskies were seeded fifth and faced the number two seed UNB Varsity Reds in their first game Thursday.

Despite being outshot 42-24,

the Huskies had many good scoring opportunities but UNB goalie Daniel LaCosta was very deserving of player of the game recognition.

The Huskies took an early lead at 5:26 of the second period as Jimmy Bubnick scored a powerplay goal. The turning point came in the last 10 minutes of the second period as three Huskie penalties resulted in two Varsity Reds powerplay goals.

Huskie captain Brennan Bosch of Martensville said while the Huskies played hard, they didn’t get too many breaks.

“We felt we played well at times through the first period,” said Bosch after the game. “I think the shots really didn’t indicate as their team throws ev-

erything at the net. I thought we kind of held our own. We had some chances the other way and thought we were moving the puck well.”

Bosch said the Huskies got into penalty trouble and that hurt.

“It seemed like we got in a little funk there for a 10-minute span and took some penalties and that’s pretty tiring on some of your guys,” he said.

The Huskies maintained good pressure in an attempt to even the score throughout most of the third period, but UNB made the score 3-1 with under three minutes to play.

HUSKIES VS. QUEBEC

On Friday, the Huskies met the third ranked UQTR and had to win by by more than two goals to have any chance of advancing to the Championship Game. The Dogs came up short, though, by a score of 3-1.

After UQTR had taken an early lead, Kyle Bortis tied it up at 16:49 of the opening period. Early in the third UQTR regained the lead on the powerplay and capped the game with an empty net goal.

Despite the losses, U of S head coach Dave Adolph had plenty of praise for his team.

“Our guys played their tail off this weekend and I can’t be more satisfied and proud of their effort,” said Adolph.

Sunday’s championship game saw the Varsity Reds up against the Saint Mary’s Huskies, with UNB skating away with a 2-0 victory and the University Cup.

BORDEN & DISTRICT News The Borden Lion’s held their 11th annual speak-offs for high school students from Borden and Langham on March 14 in the Lion’s Room, Borden Community Centre. Judges were Marlene Derbawka, Louise Saunders and Eric Pearce, timekeeper Sandra Long and emcee Lion John Buswell. The winners go on to District 5SKN speakoffs at Rosthern on April 11 and the winners from there go to provincials in Yorkton in June. First up to speak was Emma Prescesky who spoke on a Paralympics’ horseback rider, how she became a paralympic, the obstacles she overcame to compete and become a winner and what she plans for the future. Chantelle McLeod of Langham spoke on Safety in Riding – the advantages to wearing a helmet when riding horses and what happened to her that could have been much worse if she had not been wearing a helmet- three out of five riders will at sometimes have a head injury, there are 70,000 accidents a year due to riding horses and even rodeo riders are starting to wear helmets. Duncan Sutherland spoke on the Olympian Oscar Psoriaus of South Africa, a Paralympics’ runner who has blades instead of legs, of what he has accomplished and then his downfall of being charged with murder, also his athletic ability and role model to others has been tarnished by the scandal and the media. Cookies and juice boxes were served while the judges conversed, then the results were announced- placing first was Chantelle and Helen presented the Donald Sutherland memorial plaque to her, second was Emma and third Duncan. Each speaker received a cash prize from the Lions and depending on how many speakers are participating, all three may go on.

Linda Yuskiw and Lorraine Olinyk, representing the Radisson Royal Purple, were at Borden School March 12 to present the winners of the Sask Elks and Royal Purple Healthy Choices Poster Contest in Grades 1-8 with their prize money, and all participants received a certificate and Smarties. The winning posters in four grade categories from Borden and Maymont Schools were sent in by the end of February, and these were done by: K, Grade 1 – 1st: Julia Siebert, Borden; 2nd: Kolten Gardiner; and 3rd: Rylan Voegeli, Maymont Central. Grade 2-3 – 1st: Allison Warwryk, Maymont; 2nd: David Gough; and 3rd: Sadie Funk, Borden. Grade 4, 5 and 6 – 1st: Brooke Brazeau, Borden; 2nd: Brooklyn Boklaschuk, Maymont; and 3rd: Jade Matte, Borden.

Grade 7-9 – 1st: Rachel Sutherland; 2nd: Sarah Sliedricht; and 3rd: Nikita Pascoe, all from Borden. There were 44 posters entered from Borden in Grades 1-8 and 53 from Maymont in Grades 1-6. Maymont High School students sent in videos but they were late entering so went directly to provincials and were not judged locally. Maymont Central School will be visited this coming week to present them with their certificates, smarties and prize money.

BORDEN SCHOOL

After the school break there were two staff changes – Mr. Gartner came back after paternity leave and Ms. Renee Lemieux completed her temporary contract teaching Grade 5 and 6, administrative assistant Mrs. Burke received a new job in Warman and Elise Meister is back filling her position. The Book Fair was a success, recording a profit of $400. Free books and family prize was won by Julia Hebig, so her K – Grade 2 class got $25 worth of free books. In band, Aryn Polichuk was chosen to play with the U of S High School Select Wind Orchestra and the senior and jazz bands are participating in the Twin River Music Festival in Dalmeny on March 19 and performing at the Regina Downtowner’s Optimist Festival March 20 and 21, so good luck to them.

Warman athlete selected for national women’s football team Beth Thompson of Warman is one of several members of the Saskatoon Valkyries football team to make the Canadian National Football Team roster.

Thompson and her teammates will be heading to Finland this summer to compete for a world championship title.

Football Canada unveiled the Women’s National Team roster which will compete at the 2013 International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Women’s World Championship to be held June 28-July 7 in Vantaa, Finland.

The roster was chosen from a

group of 75 players who attended final selection camps held in Fredericton, NB and Moose Jaw, SK. The women earned invitations to the attend one of two final selection camps based on their performances at last summer’s Challenge Cup which hosted 175 players from four provincial and one regional team.

Canada, the defending silver medalist from 2010 will send a roster of 45 players to Finland to compete against the World.

The roster features nine returnees from the inaugural event

held in Stockholm, Sweden.

“It’s an honour to be able to represent my country for a second time,” said returning receiver Alex Black.

“Women’s football across the country has made great strides towards more knowledgeable and skilled athletes which has helped improve our game. I am looking forward to playing alongside women who share my passion for this wonderful game.”

The National Team will assemble for a training camp at the end of June to prepare for its competition in Vantaa.

Chiefs goaltender Lukas McDonald covers up with help from teammates Dylan Kochan and Kynan Tarnowski while Quakers’ forward Ben Wasmuth looks for a rebound

Chiefs bounced from PJHL playoff picture by Quakers

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Chiefs season came to an abrupt end last week at the hands of the Saskatoon Quakers.

After jumping out to an early two-game head start at the beginning of the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) series, the Chiefs ended up losing in the seventh and deciding game by a score of 6-2 on Wednesday, March 13 at Harold Latrace Arena in Saskatoon. It was the second straight victory in a row for the Quakers, following a 4-2 win on Tuesday, March 12 in Delisle.

The loss was a tough one to swallow for the Chiefs, who finished the PJHL North Division regular season in third place and had earlier eliminated the Saskatoon Westleys in three straight games. Last season, the Chiefs finished in top spot in the

regular season standings but never made it past the north division semi-finals.

The power-play proved to be the difference in the final game of the series, with the Quakers lighting the lamp behind Chiefs’ netminder Lukas McDonald on their first two opportunities in the opening period. The Quakers added two more goals in the second and another pair in the third to go up 6-0.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, had difficulty generating any offense as the Quakers’ defense bottled up the neutral zone and kept the Chiefs snipers to the outside. It wasn’t until the final eight minutes of the game that the Chiefs began to fire more pucks at the net and were finally able to crack the armor of Quakers’ goaltender Keenan Kostiuk. Delisle added another marker with just over four

minutes left but, by then, it was too little, too late. Despite outshooting the Quakers 33-25, the Chiefs weren’t able to pull off any last-minute miracles.

The Quakers had six different shooters finding the mark, including Chad Tichkowsky, Stefan Serack, Spencer Wand, Dylan Meek, Tyson Rosner and Andrew Cribbs. Victor Pernitsky and Scott Helmkay replied for the Chiefs.

PJHL NORTH DIVISION FINAL SERIES

The Saskatoon Royals downed the Quakers 3-1 in the opening game of the PJHL North Division final on Friday, March 15 at Latrace Arena and took a 2-0 series lead with a 5-2 win on March 17. Game three was slated for Tuesday, March 19 following the Gazette press deadline.

Bethany College names Athletes of the Month Bethany College has chosen its Athletes of the Month for February.

Terri Omani, captain of the women’s indoor soccer team, has played with some injury most of the month. With little time to recover and a deep desire to play she has opted to play despite discomfort. She has led the team to a 7-9-2 record in the past month. It has been their best month of the

season so far. During an alumni tournament at the college she was able to achieve the golden boot award by scoring the most goals. Her desire to learn about the game has shown dividends as she continues to improve throughout the season. Omani’s soccer future looks bright as she intends on coaching soccer camps this summer with Athletes in Action.

Spencer Epp has a very ag-

gressive style of play that makes him a very tough defenseman. His tenacity and unwillingness to give up have awarded him victory in the battle along the boards over and over.

Epp’s style does not stop there.

He is also willing to make offensive attacks and has been known to score goals when the team needs a lift. He is one of the leaders of the team by example and is a fan favourite.

Tattoos require attention to detail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

the world and it was fun. I’ve had that comment come back several times. People enjoy coming here because they’re having fun and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere.”

Kallis offers free consultations to clients and spends time with people – talking and trying to figure out what it is they’re looking for.

“It’s not my client’s job to come up with their design.

That’s my job. It’s a process of working together to share thoughts and ideas, eventually arriving at something that feels right to the client.”

Kallis is quite happy to talk

to people who are on the fence in regards to tattoos and whether they’ve ever wanted one. “I had four ladies come in the day of our grand opening. Three of them were on the fence and all four of them booked with me by the time they left.”

A part of the industry involves people who have had work done, but regretted it later.

Kallis will work with these clients using a special technique and different colors and is able to do redo’s and cover-ups.

“I had a young lady come to me with a design she’d had done that she really didn’t care for.

After three hours of working on

her to just try and give her what she was looking for, she broke out in tears and she was crying and asked if she could give me a hug,” said Kallis. “Absolutely, and that’s huge.

Pain is one of the deterrents that can hold people back from getting ink. “Fortunately, I’ve been told by many of my clients that have joined me here that I’m very light handed. I’ve learned my own style, every artist does. I had a young lady in here last week that has an awful lot of art on her and I’ve never worked on her,” said Kallis. “She came in for a first tattoo by me and she was absolutely amazed at how little it hurt compared to what’s she’s experienced in the past. And it gained

me a new client.”

At Gettin’ Inked they will not tattoo just anything for an underage person. “A young fellow, 16-years-old, wanted one across his forearm and I said ‘I’m sorry it’s not happening’. We put it on his shoulder. This is for career reasons. A tattoo is for life, there’s no point in jumping into it. I have had to turn clients away and either rebook them or lost them as a client because I just won’t take that responsibility. If I’m not okay with it, we’re not doing it.”

With the 16-year-old, Kallis said the father sat and watched him apply the tattoo and was thankful that the work was not on his forearm.

Cory and Kori are open Tues-

day to Friday, something that allows the pair to maintain a balance between work and home.

“We have a son that’s in hockey, we travel to the lake quite a bit and I have stock car racing,” explains Kallis, “so we need to have somewhat of a flexible schedule in order to accommodate everything else.” Flexible means they will take appointments on other days when they are able, if they cannot accommodate a client during regular hours.

“I put my tattoo room in front of a window so that people can see there’s nothing to hide, it’s right out there in the open. If you want to come stand and line up at my window and

13034MC01

watch me work on a client all afternoon, you’re more than welcome to do so,” he said.

With a number of services being offered in one shop, Cory and Kori can enjoy the benefits of cross pollination – business that results from providing one service and having that trigger additional business.

And for Kallis the tattoo artist, there’s a lot satisfaction that comes with the art.

“I enjoy it all, whether it be writing, memorial pieces – it doesn’t matter – it’s more than just placing the tattoo and sending somebody out the door. I enjoy the fact that I get to work on people, I’m giving them something they get to carry for the rest of their lives.”
