A young girl enjoys the brand new spray park at Lion’s Park in Martensville during a spell of hot weather last week. The spray park, which replaced an outdated paddling pool, was opened earlier this month. A volunteer committee spent countless hours raising tens of thouands of dollars to build the facility.

PUBLIC SERVICE EXCELLENCE

Former Martensville mayor recognized by Province Giles Saulnier of Martensville has been awarded the Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Public Service.

A former mayor of Martensville, Saulnier is the manager of the Urban Camp facility at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre. He was presented with the Premier’s Award for Excellence in recognition of the leadership he has shown with the program, which is admin-

istered through the provincial Ministry of Justice - Corrections and Policing.

The award was one of six announced on Friday, June 14 during National Public Service Week.

“This year’s recipients exemplify the calibre of innovation and excellence found in Saskatchewan’s Public Service, whose efforts continue to make our province an even better

place,” Premier Brad Wall said.

“It’s truly an honour to recognize these award winners and celebrate their achievements.”

The Award recognizes Saskatchewan public service employees in three categories: Innovation, Quality Service and Leadership.

Other individual and team recipients included Tim Earing, Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, Promoting Ap-

prenticeship (Quality Service); Mineral Administration Saskatchewan Registry Team, Ministry of the Economy (Innovation); Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative Team, Ministry of Health (Quality Service); The Saskatchewan Employment Act Development Team, Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety (Quality Service); and the Community Services Unit Senior Leadership Team,

Ministry of Social Services (Innovation).

Individuals or teams from provincial government ministries, some Treasury Board Crown corporations, boards, commissions and agencies are eligible for nomination by the public service, stakeholder organizations, clients and citizens. Selections are made by an independent committee.

The Government of Saskatch-

ewan was selected earlier this year by a national panel as one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers in 2013. The Province offers a wide range of exciting opportunities for meaningful, rewarding work and professional growth for employees, while it remains one of the most diverse employers in Saskatchewan with a large array of technical, professional, management and support positions.

Saulnier credits entire team for Urban Camp program success

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Giles Saulnier is “very proud and honoured” to be recognized for guiding the Urban Camp program to become one of the most respected initiatives of its kind in the country.

But he says it has been far from a one-man show. The success of the Urban Camp program, he insists, is due to a strong team effort.

“If it wasn’t for the good team around me, none of this would have happened,” said Saulnier in an interview on

It’s also a reflection on the inmates who want to be part of the program. They deserve a pat on the back.”

Saulnier said the key to the Urban Camp program is treating people with respect.

“The big thing is that to get respect, you need to give respect,” he said. “I believe that in anything you do. Offenders are people, too, and they need respect just as much as anyone. They’ll give it back to you if you give it to them.”

The Urban Camp program involves up to 50 low-security inmates who provide services for seniors, shovel snow, grow fresh vegetables for inner-city communities, provide services to non-profit groups and assist communities facing natural disasters and other emergencies.

Saulnier said he was completely taken by surprise when he got an e-mail earlier that morning notifying him he was receiving the Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Public Service. “I was not expecting this,” he said. “I took over the program from a person who was retiring and, over the years, we’ve brought in some changes.”

Saulnier said his experi-

“The big thing is that to get respect, you need to give respect. I believe that in anything you do.

Offenders are people, too, and they need respect just as much as anyone.” q Giles Saulnier Friday, June 14. “We have a loyal staff and a good senior management team. They’ve given me 100 per cent support.

The members of this team really need to be commended.

ence as Mayor of Martensville proved valuable in his efforts to have more municipal elected officials buy into the Urban Camp program.

“The networking I had done when I was in municipal government was a big help,” he said. “I was able to make contacts with mayors and councilors and promote the program.

A lot of the councilors knew me, so they were willing to listen and try the program.”

Saulnier said the big break came two years ago when the City of Saskatoon came on board.

“The inmates now do work in areas where the regular city crews are not able to go,” said Saulnier. “And the City of Saskatoon has also helped by purchasing a 16-foot covered trailer which holds four John Deere mowers, a workbench, grasswhips, and signage for ‘Men at Work’. It makes things go quicker and more efficiently, and it creates a safer environment for the workers.”

The Urban Camp workers were on hand to help with sandbagging in Radisson and Borden last month. Saulnier said a new agreement was signed six weeks ago with the Muskeg Lake First Nation.

“It’s good to have those agreements in place with First Nations governments as well as with municipal governments,” he said.

Saskatoon Correctional Centre Urban Camp Manager Giles Saulnier

Premier lauds Saulnier’s leadership The following is the statement released

by Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan:

Giles Saulnier’s leadership has improved a correctional program that now gives back to Saskatoon citizens more than ever and has established a standard of excellence inspiring his community partners and his staff.

Deputy Director of Adult Corrections, Mr. Saulnier has for the last seven years managed the Urban Camp program, a facility next to the Saskatoon Correctional Centre for low-security provincial inmates who provide community service.

He has increased what was a fledgling program from 32 inmates to its present 50, who provide services for seniors, shovel snow, grow fresh vegetables for the inner-City communities, provide services to non-profit organizations and help set up and take down relief centres during emergencies.

Mr. Saulnier has built numerous partnerships that include Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services, which uses the Urban Camp’s services to clean up public areas where no current service exists, improve the overall amenity of various neighbourhoods and clean up illegally dumped materials.

SURVEY SAYS...

OUTSTANDING YOUNG FARMERS AWARD

Input sought on types of businesses Dalmeny residents want

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

D

almeny town councilors are hoping more businesses will set up shop in their community.

But first, they want to know what residents think should be a priority.

A “Community Needs Assessment Project” survey is currently being conducted in Dalmeny by the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authorty (SREDA). The survey is aimed at collecting household data and input from residents to help council narrow down the kind of businesses needed in Dalmeny.

It’s all part of long-range planning to ensure the community is able to meet the needs of a growing population, said Allan Earle, Mayor of Dalmeny.

“We know we’re going to increase significantly population-wise in the next couple of years,” said Earle in an interview Thursday, June 12. “We are doing forward-planning to find out

what businesses our residents feel we need the most here in town.”

Earle said he’s hopeful that residents will respond to the survey.

“It’s a golden opportunity to tell us what they think is needed,” he said.

“Council is waiting for the results to takes some action on long-term plans.

We’re attempting to budget for ten years into the future and put some dedicated reserves in place, so we don’t have these big shockers every once in a while when we need to make captal expenditures.”

Earle said it’s important to plan for growth in a way that makes sense.

Noting that while Dalmeny is close to other larger centres that have a variety of businesses, he said it still makes sense to have retailers in town to supply the things people need regularly.

It also makes sense to prioritize projects, he said.

“We don’t want to grow faster than our infrastructure can handle,” he said. “And hopefully some of the questions we have will be answered with

this needs assessment review.”

Over the past six years, the Town of Dalmeny has undertaken a number of infrastructure improvement projects, including expanding its municipal lagoon, upgrading its waterlines and surface water storage capacity, and completed land development agreements with several developers for new neighbourhoods. Two new residential developments are currently under construction on Dalmeny’s east side, which could see as many as 300 new homes come on stream in the next few years.

SURVEY UNDERWAY

The survey was designed by Jensen Consulting and is being carried out under the auspices of SREDA, said Earle. The survey can be filled out by residents online or a PDF file can be downloaded and filled out. There are also paper copies of the survey available at the Dalmeny Town Office.

The survey is divided into two sections. Initially, residents are asked

some confidential profile questions.

The second section is aimed at collecting data on residents’ shopping patterns for household furnishings and equipment, automotive, clothing, groceries and hardware, restaurants, fuel and pharmacy needs.

The survey information is confidential, and only the combined reuslts will be shared with project partners and the community. The survey deadline is June 30, and project results will be available in September.

Once the survey results are in, Earle said the intention is to hold a public information meeting to fine-tune the suggestions.

Earle said the project started several months ago, and SREDA was enlisted to provide the service. Another parallel but informal survey is also being carried out in Dalmeny by Theresa Quilty, a resident of the community, and Earle said the results of both surveys will be taken into account when priorities are established this fall by town council.

SUV driver killed in crash near Pike Lake

By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

One man is dead following a two-vehicle head-on crash near Pike Lake.

The collision occurrred at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 13 on Highway 766, about three kilometers west of Highway 60.

Emergency first responders from the Delisle Fire Department, as well as MD Ambulance, responded to the collision.

Speaking at the scene of the accident, Cst. Aaron James Rushton with the Delisle RCMP reported that an eastbound car collided with a westbound SUV, but the cause of the crash were unclear.

Shortly after the accident, Cpl. Mur-

First responders from Pike Lake and Delisle were called to the scene of a fatal two-vehicle collision on Highway 766, about three kilometers west of Highway 60 on Thursday, June 13 ray McCracken of the Warman RCMP said the male driver of the SUV, who was believed to be in his 50s, was declared deceased at the scene. His name is not being released by police.

McCracken said two females who

were in the car were transported to hospital. Their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

Police said alcohol did not appear to be a factor but road conditions were wet at the time of the crash.

Collision analysts from the RCMP and Saskatoon Police Traffic Services Unit were called to the scene and completed their investigation while the secondary paved highway was closed to traffic for several hours.

Osler greenhouse owners make the cut Floating Gardens Ltd. of Osler is one of five finalists in the Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers awards. The award winners will be announced on Friday, June 21 at the Farm Progress Show in Regina.

Floating Gardens is a yearround vegetable greenhouse owned and operated by Christopher Buhler and Rachel Buhler.

This innovative new business has been in production for two years, growing pesticide free, fresh fruits and vegetables for a growing market of restaurants and local farmers markets, not only in the summer, but also in the long winters of Saskatchewan.

The Buhlers’ vision is to provide a quality sustainable food with a focus on environmentally sustainable practices. Some of these practices include diverting waste wood from landfills to heat their greenhouse and by using reusable boxes to transport their produce. Both Christopher and Rachel are also actively involved in many aspects of their church life, as well as volunteering their time on the Saskatchewan Greenhouse Growers Association, and in the Saskatoon Farmer’s Market.

Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers Program (OYF) is a unique program designed to recognize farmers and farm couples who exemplify excellence in their profession. The program is open to farmers or couples who derive at least two-thirds of their income from farming operations.

The other finalists in the competition include Kristjan and Theresa Hebert (Hebert Grain Ventures), grain and oilseed farm of Moosomin; Chad and Darlene Krikau (Stream Stick Farms Ltd.), grain farm of Waldheim; Tyler and Pamela Smith (Smith Northern Ranching), cow/calf, background, and grain operation of Duck Lake; and Brennan and Cara Wiens (Wiens Seed Farm), custom cereal and pulse pedigree seed operation of Herschel.

Restorative justice committee pledges to carry on work of late chairperson Organization wants larger presence, more case files in coming year

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Valley West Community Justice Committee (VWCJC) is looking to gain a higher profile in both the local community and the provincial court system.

Judith Morris, newly-elected Chair of the VWCJC, said the committee has two major goals for the coming year.

“We want to have more files referred to our committee from the courts,” said Morris in a phone interview on Friday, June 14. “It’s an ongoing struggle to get the files. One of the problems we have is that many files we could deal with are not automatically forwarded to us by the Crown Prosecutors and the court system. We rely on other agencies to get those files to us.”

Morris said that even though the VWCJC has been doing good work for the past ten years, there is a relatively rapid turnover in the Crown Prosecutors office, so new lawyers often don’t realize the restorative justice measures offered by the VWCJC constitute an available option.

“We keep having to reintroduce ourselves,” she said. “We have to prove ourselves over and over, even though we’ve been doing this for almost 10 years now. So our goal is to have a higher profile with the courts.”

The committee is also looking to attract more volunteers, especially anyone interested in

becoming a mediator.

VWCJC ANNUAL MEETING

Morris was elected chair at the VWCJC annual general meeting in Martensville on Thursday, June 13. Earl Keeler of Delisle, who served as chair of the committee for several years, passed away earlier this year. News of his death was a shock, and his absence is felt every day, said Morris, but she added the committee is very commited to keep the program going.

“Earl would have wanted us to do this,” she said. “He was a really good spokesperson, and we miss him greatly.”

Carolyn Stone was re-elected secretary of the VWCJC, while Sharon Martens of Warman was elected to fill the post of committee secretary.

So the case load was manageable.”

But now that the committee is back up to two fully-trained mediators, and another three who are in the process of being trained, Morris said the committee will be able to take on a lot more files.

“We don’t deal with violent offenders, and we don’t handle any files that have to do with domestic incidents,” she said.

“The files all involve offenses where mediation is a viable option.”

She said the commitee welcomes new members, and anyone interested in becoming involved can do so by calling her at 306-975-1610.

Morris, who works as the clerk in the RCMP detachment office in Martensville, said the committee has a good working relationship with the police service and the communities that make up the VWCJC area.

“My employment here at the RCMP office is not directly related to my volunteer work with the restorative justice committee,” said Morris. “It’s actually a coincidence, but it certainly does help improve the communication. The police officers are also involved in some of the training for mediators, and they also sometimes participate in the mediations if they have time. Their input is crucial.”

MEDIATION ALTERNATIVE

The VWCJC is one of a number of community-based restorative justice committees in Saskatchewan. They provide an alternative to the court system by bringing the offender, the victim and community representatives together in a mediation process. The objective is to bring all parties together for face-to-face discussions, providing an opportunity for the offender to realize the consequences of their actions, turn their life around and make amends by providing restitution to their victim.

The VWCJC’s case load was very low last year, said Morris.

“We only dealt with eight adult cases and 13 youth cases,” she said. “But, at the same time, we were down to only one mediator because our other mediator took a year’s leave of absence.

Heart of the Country A young singer and musician from Unity, Saskatchewan is introducing traditional country music to a new generation

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

When Will Ballantyne made his first trip to Nashville, Tennessee last February, the Mecca of Country Music made a big impression on him.

But he also made a big impression on Nashville.

The multi-talented musician with the winning smile and golden voice performed live on Earnest Tubb’s Midnight Jamboree on WSM Radio. The legendary live country music show, which has aired weekly since 1947, follows the Grand Ole Opry broadcast. It’s the show where Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and George Jones all broke into the big time.

Will Ballantyne is a good candidate to follow in their footsteps. His honest brand of country music is a refreshing reminder of an earlier time when heartfelt lyrics and three-chord melodies were the building blocks of country music’s golden age.

With a voice that blends the best elements of Josh Turner and Randy Travis, Ballantyne has the ability to take any song and stay true to the original while still putting his own unmistakable stamp on it. After the first song, the audience is hooked. After the last song, the audience won’t let him leave the stage.

Ballantyne comes by his country soul honestly. Born and raised in a small town, he was surrounded by music from a very young age.

“I heard all that old country stuff from before I can even remember,” said Ballantyne in an interview following his performance at the Radisson Jamboree in early June.

“When I was a baby my Dad would put on Ricky Skaggs records and dance around the living room holding me. So I got started early, and I’ve always loved it.”

everyday life. If you listen to Hank Williams’ songs about loving and leaving and cheating and Merle Haggard’s songs about the working man, you can relate to it.”

Ballantyne, 21, conceded that he’s not typical of his generation when it comes to choice of music, but he says age doesn’t matter when it comes to good songs.

“If I can bring more younger people into that tradition of better quality country music, I’ll be very happy because I think its some of the best music on earth.”

He said while country music has evolved over the years into more of a “pop genre”, there’s a movement among a new generation of artists to rediscover their roots. From bluegrass to old-style country and western to country-gospel, the list of top-flight musicians who are recording and playing live venues across North America is growing.

“They don’t get much recognition or air-play on the radio or TV,” he said. “But they’re still carrying on that legacy.”

BLUEGRASS CONNECTION

One of those artists is Rhonda Vincent, dubbed “the Queen of Bluegrass” - who fronts “The Rage”, one of the hottest blue-

“After the first song, the audience is hooked.

After the last song, the audience won’t let him leave the stage.”

BACK TO THE ROOTS

Ballantyne says there’s a reason the music has an appeal that crosses generations.

“It’s real,” he said. “It’s about

grass bands going. Vincent has recorded duets with Dolly Parton, George Jones, Bill Anderson and other lendary performers. She regularly hosts the Midnight Jamboree on WSM Radio in Nashville, and that’s where the connection to Will Ballantyne comes in.

“My buddy, Neil Penny, has been going to the Blueberry Bluegrass Festival in Stony Plain, Alberta for years,” explained Ballantyne. “I’ve been wanting to go for a long time,

and last summer, I finally made the trip. We were just up there to watch and listen - to soak it all in. It was an amazing three days, On the Sunday morning, Rhonda Vincent and her band were hosting the country gospel session, and she invited anyone in the audience to come up and sing a song with the band.

“Those guys are phenomenal, and it was pretty intimdiating, so I wasn’t going to go up, but Neil and a couple of other guys I was with said, ‘go up and play Long Black Train.’ Well, that’s my favourite song, so I thought, well, at least I could say I played on the same stage with Rhonda Vincent.”

Ballantyne’s rendition of Josh Turner’s classic hit blew everyone away. Vincent made him stay on stage and sing Amazing Grace. Later that evening he was invited on stage to showcase his fiddle and guitar playing as well hs vocal talent.

At the end of the session Vincent invited him to come to Nashville and perform two songs live on WSM Radio the next time she hosted Midnight Jamboree.

That was how he ended up in Nashville last February.

NASHVILLE EXPERIENCE

“It was an absolutely incredible experience,” recalled Ballantyne. “I was in a pretty privileged position. I’ve always wanted to go there, but never had a chance before. Nashville is Country Music City it’s where you have to go if you want to make it in this business, and there are an awful lot of really good musicians playing there looking for their big break.”

Ballantyne said he was like a wide-eyed tourist walking through the heart of the legendary city.

“I was walking down Broadway where all the famous honky tonks like Tootsies are, and walking past these places where guys are playing music, and I thought, ‘Man, I get to bypass all this.’ Rhonda invited me down and I was sure honoured and grateful.”

He said the experience of playing live on the radio from the station’s theatre setting was like being transported back in time to the Grand Ole Opry during the 1940s and 1950s. “It was unforgettable,” he said.

Ballantyne wasn’t the only young Canadian that got introduced to some high-powered Nashville reord producers. A young singer from Rogersville,

Will J. Ballantyne performs at the Radisson Jamboree in early June. Ballantyne and fellow musician Neil Penny of Biggar are scheduled to headline the Canada Day celebration in Warman on July 1.

New Brunswick named Mary Beth Marks was also invited down to perform on the show after Vincent heard her perform. Marks is currently the opening act for Merle Haggard as he tours Canada.

EARLY START

Ballantyne started playing piano at the age of five and took up the fiddle at the age of 11.

“I took lessons on fiddle for about three years from Harold Anderson in North Battleford,” he said. “Harold’s an old veteran - a former Saskastchewan senior fiddle champion and he really showed me a lot.

From there I started fooling around on the mandolin and then picked up the guitar. Basically I learnend to play whatever we had laying around the house.”

He currently works for a concrete construction company in Unity, laying sidewalks and foundations during the day, and picking up whatever gigs he can during evenings and weekends.

But after recording some demo songs earlier this spring for the movers and shakers in Nashville, Ballantyne is optimistic he can someday make a living playing the music he loves.

“That’s the plan,” he said with a grin. “I didn’t really think seriously about that until I met Rhonda Vincent and went to Nashville, but now it’s looking like it could happen. Right now, I’m just playing wherever I can.”

Ballantyne and Penny, backed by the Wiebe Family band, performed at the Radis-

son Jamboree in early June, and the response by the audience was overwhelming. The dance floor was packed.

“The greatest compliment you can pay a musician is to get up and dance,” Ballantyne told the crowd. “Thanks.”

CONCERT IN WARMAN

He and Penny are scheduled to play a return engagement at the Blueberry Bluegrass Festival in Stony Plain, Alberta August 2 to 4.

But you don’t have to wait that long to see them perform live. They’ll be headlining the Canada Day entertainment stage in Warman on Monday,, July 1 at Lion’s Park in Warman. It’s a great opportunity to see - and hear - an artist whose already made a big impression on Nashville.

DRUGS ON WHEELS

Drugs, like alcohol, impair your ability to operate a motor vehicle. The penalities are the same for both. Police can detect and identify drugs in a driver’s system.

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Some people may think that drugs don’t affect their driving.

Others may think that even if they do take drugs and get behind the wheel, they’ll never get caught.

They’re wrong on both counts, says Constable Scott Rowe of the Dalmeny Police Service.

Rowe is one of 31 certified Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) in Saskatchewan. With years of specialized training and experience under his belt, he can tell if a driver is under the influence of a drug by means of several simple but highly-effective and consistently reliable roadside tests.

induces specific effects on the user’s body, there are certain tests that can reveal the presence of specific types of drugs.

“It’s all physiology,” said Rowe. “It’s all about heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and other physiological signs. It’s all based on measurements and facts ” The most important and farreaching symptoms of drugs can be seen - literally - by peering into a person’s eyes.

“The eyes have been called the windows to the soul,” said Rowe. “And for good reason.

They’ll give you away every time.”

Rowe said narcotics will reduce pupil size to a pinhole, regardless of whether the surroundings are light or dark. On the other hand, stimulants like cocaine will force the pupils to dilate and they will stay large regardless of ambient lighting.

Cannabis has its own unique effects on eye pupils as well, he said.

Some drugs take effect immediately but the effects wear off quickly. Others take longer.

Police officers take detailed notes based on their observations at the time they stop drivers, said Rowe. These observations also provide key evidence because they often indicate physiological reactions to various drugs. The observations can be supplemented by laboratory tests to determine conclusively the presence of certain drugs.

He said there are also instances of drivers abusing their prescription medicines by taking the wrong dosage or mixing their pills with alcohol.”It’s actually a lot more common than you might think,” he said.

“People really need to be careful with their medications.

Stop signs to replace yield signs at intersection south of Langham

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Stop signs will soon be replacing the existing yield signs at the intersection of Range Road 3073 and Township Road 390 in the RM of Corman Park The intersection is often referred to locally as the corner of the Langham Grid (whch runs north-south) and the Struan Grid (which runs eastwest).

Currently, there are yield signs for north-south traffic on Range Road 3073, which curves and crosses Township Road 390 at an angle. There are also two additional yield signs at secondary right-angle approaches onto Township Road 390. Traffic along Township Road 390 has the right of way.

Corman Park Council voted unanimously to replace the yield signs with stop signs at its meeting on Monday, June 17, following a presentation

by Lisa and Michael deHaan.

Their daughter, Rachel deHaan, a student at Walter W. Brown School in Langham, was seriously injured in a twovehicle collision at the intersection in November, 2012. She sufered numerous injuries and

underwent 13 hours of surgery in the weeks following the crash. Her recovery is progressing, but it is a slow process, said her mother.

Lisa deHaan said the northsouth traffic turning onto the Struan grid often fails to yield the right-of-way to east-west traffic. There are many nearmisses, she said in her presentation to council.

“This is a constant problem at this intersection,” said deHaan. “The curve road leads straight to the Auction Mart, and the trucks don’t want to have to stop. If they think they can beat you, they will try.

They’re cutting across there so they don’t have to take the highway.”

Constable Jennifer Armstrong with the Warman RCMP Detachment was at the council meeting to back up the deHaan’s request for stop signs.

“I was the lead investigator on that collision case,” said Armstrong. “It was a very serious collision. The STARS air ambulance transported Rachel from the scene to Royal Univesrity Hospital. There is a curve on the correction line and, when you are driving onto the Struan Grid, there is a blind

Langham Fire Department first responders used the jaws of life to extricate Rachel deHaan and her two younger sisters from their vehicle after a collision at the intersection of Range Road 3073 and Twp. Rd. 390 that occured on November 12 of last year spot. The RCMP believes a stop sign would definitely help prevent collisions at this intersection in the future.”

In addition to the stop signs, Corman Park council voted to install “Stop Ahead” warning signs in advance of the stop signs to alert traffic to the

change in signage.

Council also agreed to post additional speed limit signs.

INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY

Father, son killed in float plane crash Members from the North Battleford Municipal RCMP Detachment were called out to assist the Battleford Regional Airport during the morning of Thursday, June 13, when a float plane crashed a short distance away from the airport.

Life getting complicated for small RMs

Saskatchewan attracting Manitobans in droves

Perhaps the old line that rural municipalities are about gravel and gopher poison was never quite true.

By COLIN CRAIG

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation

COMMENTARY

In late May a man called into a Brandon, Manitoba radio station and described how he regularly saw lots of Manitoba license plates in parking lots in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

The gentleman shared his observation on the talk show as he was agreeing with the suggestion that increasing Manitoba’s provincial sales tax from 7 per cent to 8 per cent would only drive – pun intended – more people to shop in Saskatchewan; where the sales tax is only 5 per cent.

But not only will a sales tax increase encourage more people living in western Manitoba to shop over the border in Saskatchewan, it’ll push even more people to outright pack up and move there.

Don’t believe it?

Consider some Statistics Canada numbers dug up by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a donation-based taxpayers watchdog organization.

From 2002 to 2012, a whopping 21,132 Manitobans moved to Saskatchewan. Yet, over the same period only 19,335 people moved from Saskatchewan to Manitoba. Thus, Saskatchewan saw a net gain of almost 1,800 through the shuffling of feet between the two provinces.

In fact, if you dig into the numbers even further you’ll find Saskatchewan has really turned things around over the past decade. From 2002 to 2007, Saskatchewan saw 24,711 more people leave the province than the number that came to Saskatchewan from other provinces. This included a net loss of 22,261 people to Alberta.

However, during the last five years, 2007 to 2012, Saskatchewan has seen a net gain of over 12,698 people from other provinces. Incredibly, Saskatchewan has achieved this gain not just from Manitoba, but from Alberta and Ontario.

So what can Manitoba and Saskatchewan both learn about what’s going on? Loud and clear, the lesson is to be competitive.

Saskatchewan’s former NDP government deserves credit for rejigging resource royalty rates starting in 2002. In other words, the government was charging businesses too much money for pulling materials out of the ground (eg. oil, potash, etc.) so there simply wasn’t as much business activity in the province as there could have been.

Once the new competitive rates were announced, investment dollars flowed into the province by the billion. Literally thousands of jobs were created and the economy really took off.

Since then, under both the NDP and Saskatchewan Party, the Saskatchewan government has reduced business taxes, personal income taxes, the provincial sales tax and school taxes. As each rate became more competitive, taxpayers saved more and more money and they were able to use the savings to support local businesses. Others took their savings and used it to start their own companies; further spurring economic growth and creating jobs.

And particularly, with the business tax (which fell from 17 to 12 per cent), the government didn’t lose any money. In fact, business tax revenues have increased by more than 600 per cent over the past decade.

Conversely, Manitoba hasn’t seen the same transformational change. No, it has slowly let Manitobans drift into a situation where they’re paying some of the highest personal income taxes in Canada, the province’s mining taxes are high and of course, the sales tax is set to increase.

Just as people shop around for better deals, governments need to realize the public, and businesses, will also shop around if governments aren’t competitive.

The Saskatchewan government needs to continue to aim to be even more competitive, while the Manitoba government needs to get in the game. Until then, we’ll see more Manitoba license plates leaving the province and not turning back.

Provincial Politics

But it’s certainly safe to say that Saskatchewan RMs these days are dealing with issues far more complex than that.

Even with fewer and fewer farms in each RM (perhaps a better argument for RM amalgamation than presented by the NDP a decade ago), RMs seem to be suddenly encountering big challenges that go well beyond serving farmers’ basic needs.

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised to see this. Tiny though some of them may be, it should not be forgotten that RMs are still governments, susceptible to some of the same challenges, vulnerabilities and costs as big cities.

However, just how RMs deal with these new, arising issues may be critical to their on-go-

CORRECTION

RM multi-parcel proposals The article entitled “Corman Park seeking development proposals” on pg. 7 of the June 6 edition of the Clark’s Crossing Gazette contained errors. The article mistakenly mixes up two separate processes at the R.M. of Corman Park.

1. The 5 per ¼ amendments: The R.M. of Corman Park Council gave final readings to the proposed single severance amendments on May 21. The bylaw will now be sent to Community Planning for Ministerial approval, the bylaws are not ‘legal’ yet and we cannot accept subdivision applications at this time. We will publically let ratepayers know when we hear back from Community Planning on the bylaw, until that time we cannot accept applications.

2. The Multi-parcel call for proposals: This is a call for proposals on multi-parcel country residential development which is different than the 5 per ¼ (basically it is for people who want to subdivide more than 5 per ¼). This is for large scale acreage development (such as Cathedral Bluffs, Parkside Estates, etc.) and the call is open over the summer.

ing existence – at least as the rural municipalities we all have come to know.

For example, consider the recent developments in an on-going court case surrounding Saskatchewan Government Insurance’s no-fault automobile insurance plan.

The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled against hearing an appeal from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal in its groundbreaking legal decision in the case of John Acton, a 44-year-old business manager and farmer who was rendered a quadriplegic in a single-vehicle rollover on a road in the RM of Britannia.

In the accident nine years ago that injured Acton, the farmer lost control of his truck on a rain-soaked road near his Lloydminster-area farm and slid sideways into a windrow of road construction material left on the roadway. Acton claimed in his initial suit that the RM of Britannia and Ron Handel Farms – the contractor doing road maintenance for the RM – left the road in “dangerous condition.”

Last year, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled Ac-

ton could pursue legal action against the RM and Handel for economic benefits either in addition to or not covered by SGI’s no-fault insurance plan. His suit can now proceed because of the Supreme Court ruling.

Much has been made of the impact this case might have on the government’s no-fault insurance plan brought in by the previous NDP government in 1995. But, the case could have an even bigger direct impact on RMs across the province in not only their insurance cost but also on the cost requirements for these small rural governments.

And this is not the only example of how life is getting complex for RMs – especially, those RMs located near growing urban centres.

The City of Regina recently voted in favour of annexing land in the neighbouring Rural Municipality of Sherwood to accommodate a population of 500,000.

“Every city grows…and alters their boundaries to accommodate growth,” said Regina Mayor Michael Fougere. “If we don’t do that, then we’re going to have serious problems of attracting people to live here.”

NEED TO

Similarly, Saskatoon has identified a growth area for a population of just over one million people – equivalent to the entire provincial population right now.

Of course, these are pie-inthe-sky projections that may never come to fruition. But talk of annexation comes at a time when cities and neighbouring RMs are already at loggerheads over development opportunities – especially Regina and Sherwood.

The fighting is already a headache for the province.

Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter is now hinting his Saskatchewan Party government may have to use increased provincial powers to resolve such disputes.

“It’s one I’d be perfectly happy if we never had to use,” Reiter told the StarPhoenix’s Joe Couture. “But I think it’s important that we have those tools available if there are instances where growth opportunities are being lost just simply because adjacent municipalities won’t co-operate.”

It may also be a good time for RMs to consider what they really are all about in this increasingly complex Saskatchewan.

Dress For Success helps working women land jobs emma@ccgazette.ca

Great Plains College has been recently deemed a Referal Agency for Saskatoon’s Dress for Success Organization.

In a press release, Tanya Minchin, the Program Coordinator, said that this means Great Plains College may now refer community members who would benefit financially while job searching in and around Saskatoon.

The Dress For Success Organization is an agency that

offers services to women who are working to secure financial employment but face difficulties procuring work-appropriate clothing due to financial reasons.

The organization provides work-appropriate clothing for interviews, employment, work placements, and internships.

“Part of doing well in a job is confidence,” said Susan Huntley, Great Plains College Program Coordinator. “A lot of confidence stems from looking your best, and that’s what we strive to do: make our clients look their best so they can do

their best.”

Huntley said that anyone can use the service the Dress for Success Organization provides.

“Our intended users are anyone in the community,” she said. “We provide our service to everyone from college students going into the work force, to stay-at-home moms who are hoping to re-enter the workforce.”

The Dress for Success Organization receives clothes via public donation from individuals or retailers in the community.

Martensville church hosts CGMA gathering

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Mission Church is a busy place this week.

The church is hosting the Country Gospel Music Association (CGMA) annual Canadian convention from June 17-22.

It’s a week-long event that will see several hundred musicians, their families, and their fans gather for music, worship, and fellowship, according to Karey Quiring, one of the organizers of the event.

Quiring, who plays in a bluegrass gospel band called Newgrass, is a member of the Martensville Mission Church congregation.

He said the event got underway with a Hymn Sing on Sunday, June 16, and the sessions are open to the public without charge, other than a voluntary “free will offering” at the door to help pay expenses.

There’s plenty of music on stage, but it’s not a conventional concert, he said, noting musicians, artists and story-tellers will be performing in various categories, and awards will be presented at the end of the week after judging by their peers.

“The awards aren’t necessarily given to the most talented or the most professional artists in any given category,” said Quiring. “The performers are also judged as much on how much heart and soul and sincerity they put into the songs. The performers range from people who do this for a living in front of large crowds, to those who perform once in a while in seniors’ homes or in their own churches. It’s about creating a sense

of community, and touching base with friends who share the same values and sense of mission.”

The CGMA was started in Missouri by Billy and Donna Hale several years ago, and has grown to include about 6,400 members worldwide, said Quiring.

“The common bond for all the members is that the ministry is first and foremost,” he said. “We focus on trying to get the message out there through

music. The organization provides encouragement and support for the members.”

Quiring said the biggest reward for himself and his band is playing for seniors and “shutins” who rarely get the chance to hear live music – especially of a religious nature. “It’s a blessing to go to a seniors place and sing a few songs for them,” he said. “To watch them smile when they hear the songs is very rewarding. That’s why we do this.”

“I’ve had them say to me after a fitting ‘I feel like a princess’, or ‘I feel like I’ve won the lottery; all I need now is a new car.’ It’s really great to hear that sort of thing. There was one girl who said ‘When do I have to give the clothes back?’ and that just broke my heart.”

RCMP arrest man in connection with thefts from Asquith, Biggar areas Warman RCMP have solved a break-in that occurred on Wednesday, June 12 in a rural area near Asquith.

According to Warman RCMP Sergeant Warren Gherasim, approximately $50,000 worth of materials were stolen from a rural residence.

“On June 12 at 10:00 p.m. an Asquith area resident contacted RCMP to advise of a breakin at his residence in the rural area near Asquith,” said Gherasim. “The complainant advised police that he had attended at the property where he had just had a new home constructed and discovered that the residence, which was not yet inhabited, had been entered by thieves and numerous new items were stolen, including a dishwasher and a bed.”

Gherasim said the culprit also took material related to a business.

“Outside of the residence was an old school bus which was being used to store paint-ball equipment,” he said. “There were numerous paint ball guns, pressurized canisters and other related supplies being stored in the bus, which was entered and all of the equipment stolen. The equipment was used in support of a paint-ball business the complainant runs.”

The complainant estimated the total value of the theft at ap-

What a Catch!

proximately $50,000.

Gherasim said the Warman RCMP utilized the assistance of the Forensic Identification Unit to assist in the investigation and have arrested a 20-yearold man in connection with the theft.

Dustin Ewen of Asquith is charged with possession of stolen property, possession of a weapon obtained by crime, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, break and enter and steal a firearm, break, enter and theft.

RCMP officers searched a residence in the town of Asquith and located a stolen long barrel firearm along with other miscellaneous tools and items.

Property was recovered from at least three separate break and enters in the Asquith and Biggar areas.

Ewen was taken into custody and made his first court appearance in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Monday, June 17.

RCMP are still searching for the remainder of the items that were originally stolen from the residences in the Asquith area. Police encourage anyone who may know the location of the property to immediately contact their nearest detachment or call Crime Stoppers.

Crash with RCMP unit sends five to hospital

Martensville field house project still on track after size, price increases

Five people were taken to hospital with undetermined injuries following a crash between a minivan and a marked RCMP vehicle.

The collision happened at the corner of Central Street and 6th Avenue North in the city of Warman on Saturday night at around 10:30 p.m. Witnesses at the scene said the RCMP cruiser appeared to be responding to a separate call and was eastbound with emergency equipment activated when a northbound minivan crossed into its path. Police later confirmed that the the RCMP vehicle, a suburban, was destined for Osler to back-up another officer at a weapons call when the accident happened. The force of the collision spun the minivan into a traffic sign, coming to rest at the north exit of the nearby Tim Hortons restaurant.

Police said there were two adults and three children in the minivan and that all five were taken to

The coming year will see the beginning – and the completion – of several major commercial developments in the City of Warman, says Gary Philipchuk, deputy mayor and chair of city council’s Administration and Finance Committee In a presentation at a public information meeting on Tuesday, Philipchuk said construction of a $10 million, 25,000 square foot Saskatoon Co-op Marketplace grocery store will likely be completed

by May, 2014. The store, which is expected to employ about 100 people, will offer groceries, frozen food, an in-store bakery and fresh meat cut

The City of Martensville is committed to proceeding with a new field house facility in partnership with the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD), even though the bill may be about a million dollars higher than initially estimated.

Architect Charles Olfert with AODBT Architecture and Interior Design, the firm contracted for the project, told Martensville City Council during a Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, June 11, that the estimated price tag for the facility may be about $12.5 million.

Olfert said the estimate is at the high end, and could be lower depending on how the final tenders for each phase of the project come in. The building components are being manufactured by Sprung Instant Structures of Aldersyde, Alberta.

The company manufactures energy-efficient “stressed membrane” structures that are assembled on site.

Councilors at the meeting achieved a consensus that the revised project was still viable. The higher price is due in part to a larger structure, which is needed to accommodate additional corridors separating the public areas of the field house from the sections that will be used by the expanded and renovated Martensville High School. The two buildings will be connected so that students have access to the gymnasiums and other facilities in the field house.

Other cost factors include road construction costs, parking lot costs, general site preparations and landscaping.

The PSSD Board of Trustees reviewed and approved the school division’s component of the project at a meeting on Monday, June 10.

The building will house three full-size basektball courts, a running track, meeting rooms, food concession booths, and cardio and weight training facilities.

The revised architectural drawings showing the interior and exterior of the building were on display at the Martensville Open House event on Tuesday, June 18.

The field house is nearly 49,000 square feet in total area, with roughly 20,000 square feet for the bsektball courts alone.

The basketball courts will feature professional quality hardwood floors, backstops, hoops and bleachers, and the facility will be able to host major regional and provincial tournaments.

Construction of the building is slated to begin later this year. Olfert said the intention is to get the shell of the building up by October 10, prior to freeze-up.

Warman Fire Department expanding in response to continued growth of community

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Fire Department responded to 198 incidents in and around the community in 2012, and there have been 95 incidents so far in 2013, according to Warman Fire Chief Gord Thompson.

Speaking at a public information meeting in Warman on Tuesday, June 11, Thompson said the incidents include fires, motor vehicle collisions and medical emergencies.

“Because of the severe winter we had this past year, we had more motor vehicle accidents than normal,” said Thompson.

“We’ve responded to 13 fairly serious accidents already in 2013.”

He said the fire department and first responders in Warman are involved in a partnership with paramedic services based in Saskatoon to ensure fast and professional responses to emergency situations. Recently, he noted, the fire department coordinated a meeting between local emergency personnel from the region and representatives

of the STARS air ambulance service based in Saskatoon.

“We had almost 100 people from emergency services around the area meeting with the STARS people,” explained Thompson. “We had the meeting in the Legends Centre because the fire hall was too small to accommodate everyone. The STARS people explained their procedures and outlined their ability to respond to our area.”

Thompson said while Warman and other communities are in close proximity to Saskatoon, and not as likely to see the STARS helicopter, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

“We’ve already seen the STARS come out once,” he said. “We had an incident this past winter where our vehicles were stuck and not able to get into the yard of a victim who was in medical distress. STARS came out and moved the patient from the yard. It’s a vital service, and they will be visiting our area.”

Thompson said the Warman Fire Department will be getting a new rescue vehicle by this fall. The specially-de-

ished their training by this time next year.”

Thompson pointed out that only one per cent of municipal tax dollars go toward fire and protective services in Warman, and ratepayers are getting a good deal for their investment.

He added that the fire department is also proud of its involvement in the restorative justice program administered by the Valley West Community Justice committee.

“We have had young offenders taken under our wing at the fire hall, and they’ve put in their time with us learning what we do and they’ve helped us,” he said. “We like to think we’ve made a difference in their lives. Time will tell, but so far it’s been encouraging.”

signed vehicle is being built in Saskatoon, and the final drawings on the unit were recently signed. “The actual vehicle has been in Saskatoon since December,” said Thompson. “But it’s taken time to get the drawings done and get things in place.”

The department is also interviewing prospective candidates for a full-time Deputy Fire Chief. “We hope to have a person in place before summer is over,” said Thompson. “That will be very rewarding and helpful for us. We are also anticipating adding more members to the fire department. Five of the present members are involved in fire training with the other fire departments in the North Corman Park Area.

We’re hoping they will be fin-

on-site, as well as “hot meal solutions” and self-checkouts.

Philipchuk said the paved parking lot will be completed prior to the building’s construction and will have a capacity for approximately 200 vehicles.

The Legends Plaza, kitty-corner from the Legends Centre, is also on track and the first stores will open in the near future, according to Philipchuk.

He said Warman StoneGate, the eagerly-awaited large mall being built by Avatex Devcorp at the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and the new Highway 305, will begin on-site underground servicing soon. “The developer hopes to have shovels in the ground next year,” said Philipchuk, noting the mall will be completely built within four to five years. He said the completion and opening of the new Highway 305 will accelerate the pace of the project.

Philipchuk said he could not confirm which major big box stores will anchor the 290,000 square foot mall, which will cover approximately 30 acres and will be similar to the recently-completed Melfort StoneGate mall.

“The developer is working with a variety of multinational companies and we don’t have specific details right now,” he said. The Avatex website lists a grocery anchor store, large “box” store anchor, hotel, freestanding restaurants, fast food outlets, freestanding banks, gas bar/convenience store and 15 to 20 other retailers expected to be in the complex. Avatex was also involved in the design and construction of the Cornerstone shopping complex in Prince Albert.

Over the past year, there have been about a dozen new businesses open their doors in Warman, said Philipchuk.

Next year, the City of Warman will introduce a Tax Installment Payment (TIP) plan, whereby residents can make equalized monthly payments to the city directly from their bank accounts.

Philipchuk said work on the new Memorial Gardens cemetery is progressing on schedule and the first plots should be available later this year. The old municipal cemetery has only five plots left at the current time, he said.

PROPERTY REVALUATION

Philipchuk said because this is a property revaluation year many residents were worried their taxes would rise in response to the marked increase in property values.

But that wasn’t necessarily the case, he said, pointing out that the city council was able to reduce the mill rate for residential and business properties while still ensuring adequate revenue to maintain the current level of services.

One thing that will change, he said, is the discount for early payment of property taxes.

Community Access Centre opens doors a little wider

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The last time the Martensville Community Access Center (MCAC) held an open house was when it first opened several years ago.

So the MCAC board decided it was high time the community-based resource centre re-introduced itself to the people of Martensville and area.

An open house, complete with free food, was held Thursday, June 13 at the Martensville Civic Centre on Main Street, the municipally-owned building which houses the MCAC office.

“We want to drum up awareness about who we are and what we do, and let people know about the resources and the programs we provide,” explained Lori Morphy, Chair of the MCAC’s volunteer board of directors.

“A lot of people visit the library and other services in the building, but they may not necessarily understand what an ‘access centre’ is all about.”

ALL ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Morphy said the MCAC’s name says it all.

“We’re all about being accessible,” she said. “We help people access resources, services and programs. Some of the programs are ones we offer, and others are ones that are offered by other organizations and groups, and we help people find out about them. Basically we’re here to help people out, and answer their questions as much as we can.”

Valley Gospel celebration raises funds for Mexico mission

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Some of the best country gospel musicians in Canada will be performing in concert in Warman this weekend as part of a fundraising effort for a Christian charity in Mexico.

Christlike Ministries volunteers have been building homes for Mexican families in Juarez, one of the poorest regions of Mexico, for over a decade.

Frank Guenther of Warman says the charity began building homes 12 years ago, and has established strong links with the people of the region.

“We were down in Mexico in late March and early April, where we constructed four homes,” explained Guenther in an interview last week.

“We’re now in the process of building a ‘pastor home’ for the pastor and

his family who are working with the people in our mission in Juarez. The house is a very basic bungalow, and will be about 1,000 square feet, with a garage. For the time being, the garage will be used for services as the church sanctuary, until we can build a separate church building.”

Guenther said the third annual Valley Gospel Celebration is the “big fundraiser” for the mission, and he’s hopeful Christlike Ministries will be able to raise enough money to carry on their efforts for another year.

“We’re once again looking for a real blessed weekend,” said Guenther. “We have some of the top country gospel musicians in North America booked, and it promises to be a great concert.”

There are seven acts in the threeday concert lineup, which runs June

21-23 at the Warman Diamond Arena. The musicians include Keepers of the Faith from Washington state, the Southern Gospel Quartet, The Sisters from South Carolina, the Freedom Singers from Romania, the Daeo Family, Tim Parton, and the Willy Sons.

The concerts go Friday from 6:00 to 10:00, Saturday from 10:00 to 10:00, and Sunday from 10:00 to 5:00. The admission is $50 per person for a weekend pass. Day passes are $20 for Friday or Sunday, and $30 for Saturday.

But there’s more to the weekend than music, notes Guenther.

“It’s a family-oriented event,” he said. “We have cllidren’s activities, a silent auction, book tables and of course, lots of good old-fashioned Mennonite food. We invite everyone to come and check it out.”

Donna Bueckert and Tyler Kalynchuk, pictured above, are involved in the MCAC Youth Project The MCAC was initially founded five years ago as a literacy resource centre, said Morphy, and it still continues in that role.

“We have our story bags and homework help for students, but we’ve become so much more than that in the intervening years. We’ve grown exponentially not just in the resources and programs we offer, but in the number of people we serve. We’ve gone from seeing about 200 people a year coming through our doors to literally thousands.”

Morphy said the MCAC is an independent community-based organization that operates on volunteer labour, with the help of a part-time coordinator, Kristee Lynn Adrian.

“A lot of people think we’re a branch of the City of Martensville,” she said.

“But we’re completely independent.

The City does help us out by providing facility space and some financial support, but we rely almost entirely on grants and sponsorships.”

CANADA DAY FESTIVITIES

Morphy noted that the MCAC is the agency responsible for planning the community’s annual Canada Day festivities on Monday, July 1. She said they are actively looking for more volunteers to help out.

Kristee Lynn Adrian said Canada Day is one of the biggest projects the MCAC is involved with every year.

She noted the activities are family-

oriented, and take place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre and Kinsmen Park. There are both indoor and outdoor activities, she added.

“We have a bouncy castle, activities for babies and toddlers, and all sorts of games,” said Adrian. “The activities get going around 1:00 p.m., and there will be Canada Day cake and ice cream for the first 100 people around 3:30 p.m. In the evening, a free outdoor movie and fireworks display is planned.”

YOUTH INVOLVEMENT

The MCAC is currently involved in an “ asset mapping program” that is being carried out by youth of the city under the auspices of the Saskatoon Health Region. The program is being carried out over the summer, according to Donna Bueckert, a social worker involved with the initiative.

“It’s basically a program to look at what Martensville has to offer youth, young adults, families, and seniors,” said Bueckert. “The MCAC obtained a grant that will kick start the project this summer, and it will continue for the next year and wind up next summer. The first objective is to hold a photo-based scavenger hunt during the first week of July, and then the youth will be out talking to residents of Martensville and getting their opinions on what facilities and assets Martensville has to offer, and what else is needed in the community.”

Road repairs, maintenance a priority for Corman Park, says Beauchemin

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It’s no secret that many of the roads in the RM of Corman Park are in rough shape, but the public works department is doing its best to turn things around, says Ken Beauchemin, chair of the RM’s Public Works Committee.

“The majority of the roads in the RM are in fair to bad condition,” said Beauchemin in an interview on Tuesday, June 18.

“We have more bad roads than we have good ones right now.

The weather had a lot to do with that, because we had a pretty good handle on things last fall, but winter lasted a lot longer than normal and we got a late start on road repairs and maintenance. Heck, we were pushing snow until May, so that had a bearing on it.”

Beauchemin said the RM is holding a budget meeting on June 24, and roads will be one of those areas that needs additional funds.

“We’re going to try and find some extra money for gravel,” said Beauchemin, “so we can fix more of the roads that really need it.”

Beauchemin said since he was elected to council 14 months ago, the roads have been a priority for him.

“That’s why I ran for council in the first place,” he said. “I think the roads were neglected for too long and now we’re paying the price.”

He said there has been a considerable amount of progress since the RM hired a new Director of Public Works, Joe Stewart.

“He’s been doing a good job in the short time he’s been in the position,” said Beauchemin. “Things are improving.

We need to get more gravel-

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Construction work continues on Township Road 384 in the RM of Corman Park east of Martensville ling done, and there are also a lot of roads that need repairs and maintenance. We will need a few months to get caught up, so I’m hoping the weather gives us a break, and doesn’t give us a totally rainy summer.”

Beauchemin said there are raod repairs being done every day across the RM. He noted that Blumenheim Road and Neuhorst Road are not being turned back to gravel, as was erroneously reported in an earler edition of the Gazette.

“Those roads are definitely going to remain paved,” he said. “The decision was made at council to repair those roads using a hot asphalt mix, which should last. It’s part of our fiveyear plan to make good patches, and eventually re-do those

roads when money becomes available. We’re working on those roads now, as a matter of fact.”

He said a number of roads in the RM are on the priority list for repairs and maintence this summer. Among those are Beam Road, Auction Mart Road, and several roads in the northern part of the RM which have been seriously affected by flooding and waterlogged soil conditions.

Beauchemin said there have also been discussions around the council table about the grading practices. Some councilors said ratepayers have expressed concerns about the ridges left on the roadside during the grading process.

Martensville salon raises over $5,000 for Relay for Life The following is a first-hand account by the Divas at Dahlia Salon & Spa of their experience preparing and participating in the Relay for Life event in Saskatoon earlier this month.

W

e decided to enter the Relay for Life in the beginning as a team building experience, to give back to the community as a business and because each one of us has had a family or friend who has battled with or passed away from cancer.

Unfortunately, it became a much more personal to us as we found out a week later, after signing up, that one of our team members had a family diagnosed with cancer.

We are fortunate enough to have built a strong 12 person team and we all committed to raise money. Some clients, and family joined in on the fun. We had a big jar at the front desk for donations and we had a great result with clients helping out.

On May 27 we hosted a successful steak night at The Sports Page in Martensville with a great silent auction, 50-

50 tickets, draws and even a live chicken! We were able to raise over $2000. In the end we were able to raise $5372.10 GO TEAM! June 7 was the night of the walk. It was moved indoors due to weather. We arrived, and set up our site. We made crazy hats, team t-shirts, and bandanas. We applied or glitter tattoo ribbons. We had a well dressed team and it won us an award!

The event had lanterns that you could purchase in honour or in memory of someone.

They were used to delineate where the track was. Several of us purchased lanterns and put them in front of our camp.

It was a great feeling to send out positive thoughts to our sick loved ones and remembering our ones who passed.

The event started with inspirational stories from survivors and a then the survivors took a walk around the track. It was so touching and awesome to see the variety of ages, and their families there to support them.

The walk started with all the teams doing a lap and then we all took turns walk-

15 ing along the track. It was so humbling to see the yellow shirts of the survivors walking along with you on the track. Their persistence kept us going.

The lantern lighting ceremony was especially touching as they had a bag piper walk the length of the course.

When he passed your camp you would light your lanterns you dedicated to your loved ones. Lighting the lanterns was a big release of emotions for some, allowing them to take a moment to grieve or give thanks.

The course stayed lit the entire rest of the walk. It was beautiful. The event organizers did a great job at keeping everyone entertained with music, games, zumba, dance parties, competitions and on site Tim Hortons.

All of our feet were hurting around 1 am and hips and backs were feeling sore too.

We were tired and hot and sweaty, but we kept telling each other that other people were far worse off and that we could all keep going. Supporting each other was the key.

A few of us were able to stay right up until the end and and great big Kudos to them!

We all say that we would definitely do it again!

Terry Stanviloff retires after teaching career in Osler, Martensville and Warman

City living wrapped in the charm of a small town lifestyle.

By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Choice Awards is an event held at Warman High School near the end of the school year and is designed to amuse and entertain, is a chance to dress nicely and celebrate the senior students that will soon graduate.

It is only fitting to round off the ceremony with the commemoration of Terry Stanviloff, a man who has given so much to the students at his schools, and his impending retirement at the end of the school year.

Stanviloff, who has been teaching for 33 years in Osler, Martensville and Warman, could have chosen to retire three years ago but stayed on because he would have missed the SRC, coaching football, and teaching.

“Most of all, I’m going to miss the kids,” said Stanviloff.

“Each graduating class has such a different personality.”

Stanviloff claims that his students have taught him more than he has ever taught them.

“These kids are no different than adults. They have insight, and I tell people that when they ask me how I can do what I’ve done all these years,” said Stanviloff. “I’m rarely surprised by what my students have to say, but I’m always amazed.

“I couldn’t have picked a better or more rewarding career,” he added.

Warman High School principal Michael Collins gave a short speech detailing Stanviloff’s illustrious teaching history and said a few words about the privilege of being able to work with Stanviloff in the

Terry Stanviloff recently is retiring after a 33-year career years they have been together at Warman High School.

Stanviloff chipped in afterward, praising the many students he has taught and coached.

“I’m so happy to have been a part of the SRC all these years,” he stated. “I’m really pleased that the year I go out, I leave a really great group of kids behind.”

One of Stanviloff’s former students from Martensville, a graduate from 2004, stepped up to the podium and fondly recounted a few tales for the audience.

“Freshman year of high school starts and we’re all terrified,” she recalled, smiling.

“We’re terrified of the older kids, because freshing was still a thing back then, and we’re all sitting in Stanviloff’s first class waiting to learn, when he comes in and tells us all that we’re pond scum.”

“You’ve got these kids com-

ing from elementary school or middle school, and all of a sudden they think they’re such big shots now,” Stanviloff explained later on. “Well, they’re still in grade nine so I tell ‘em they’re pond scum for now. In grade eleven or twelve is when they can start building their egos up. It was a fun thing. Every graduating class knew it was our joke.”

Students more recently taught by Stanviloff recognised their teacher in the anecdotes, and some offered their own.

One of Stanviloff’s current students commented that the thing he’ll miss most about his teacher is the phrase “It’s not a threat; it’s a promise.” which was greeted with knowing laughter.

To finish up, a video compilation was shown of teachers wishing Stanviloff a happy, peaceful retirement with his family and on the golf course.

Let’s review KOLD Radio: Whitefish Bay

By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

KOLD Radio: Whitefish Bay premiered its dress rehearsal to a respectably sizeable audience of the friends and family of the cast and crew.

There was never a dull moment as the quirky comedy, filled with colourful,

zany characters, inspired many laughs throughout the show.

Tucked into the corner of Carla and Lena Norquist’s restaurant, in Whitefish Bay, Minnesota, is the KOLD radio station. Here, Lars Knudsen runs an unpopular fishing station, which is at odds with Martha Bjorland’s popular station, Book Beat. Despite the competition between them, Lars and Martha are quite attracted to each other.

Throwing everything into disarray is Jack Ewan, better known as Big Daddy, who moves into Whitefish Bay from Nashville, Tennessee, and buys the radio station. It becomes apparent that his motives in doing so are in the pusuit of Car-

lene DeCasola, his ex-wife, who moved to Whitefish Bay to start up a hotel and lounge.

Big Daddy is also interested in making money, and Lars’ fishing station just isn’t cutting it. Lars has to find a way to make his station more successful or risk getting fired by none other than Martha, who is promoted to Station Manager upon Big Daddy’s arrival. This puts quite a strain on Martha and Lars’ budding relationship.

Helping and hindering Lars’ endevours in employment and romance alike are Carla and Lena, sisters who dole out coffee and advice, whether it’s wanted or not.

Olw Swenson, Walter Gisselsen, Ruth Streeland, and Sven Oxtrude make up the rest of the cast who certainly hinder Lars mor than they help him, but they get a lot of laughs doing it.

Brandon Braun’s Lars Knudsen was the epitome of a simple, small-town guy obsessed with fishing. Whether the accent he has is real, or affected, it contributed to the portrayal of a man slow on the uptake but possessing a good spirit nevertheless. Martha Bjorlund, the object of his affections, and played by Jill Sperling, was Let’s review KOLD Radio: Whitefish Bay Continued on page 26

Gems mount comeback against Junior Diamondbacks

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Gems got back on the winning track with an 8-7 victory over the Junior Diamondbacks on Wednesday, June 12, thanks to a solid performance by a young pitcher they hope will help them capture their second provincial championship in three years.

Jordan Asselin was picked up by the Gems from the Flaman Kodiaks in early June to bolster their bid for the Senior Men’s C title. That tournament runs July 19-21 in Saskatoon. Asselin was also slated to be on the mound for the Gems during the Saskatoon Padres tournament that got rained out this past weekend, as well as for three regular season league games.

The Gems got off to an impressive start in the mid-week matchup against the Junior Diamondbacks when catcher Josh Reid, the first batter up to the plate in the top of the first inning, connected for a solo home run over the centrefield fence.

But it was a game of momentum shifts.

Darwin Davis of the Gems slides into second base as Logan Frohaug and Anthony Climenhaga of the Diamondbacks chase down an errant overthrow.

The Junior Diamondbacks answered back when Brayden Knackstedt of Delisle drove in two runs on an RBI single. By the time the first inning was over, the Diamondbacks were up 4-1 and they increased their lead to 6-2 by the end of the third inning.

The Gems took advantage of the Diamondbacks’ pitching

troubles in the top of the fourth to score three unearned runs on walks.

The Diamondbacks’ Darren McCullough smacked a home run in the bottom of the fourth to make it 7-5 for Saskatoon.

But four bases-loaded walks, coupled with some defensive errors by the Diamondbacks in

the top of the fifth allowed the Gems to score three runs and grab the lead. The next two innings were scoreless, and the Gems took the game 8-7.

Mike Stefanuk of the Gems said the team played well, despite missing their regular shortstop and second baseman from the lineup. He said adding

Asselin to the roster for some regular season games should help the team chemistry in the upcoming provincial tournament.

“This was Jordan’s second game with us,” he said. “We discovered him in Division 2 and signed him up for provincials, and he’s settling in pretty good.

This is probably the first time he’s seen this calibre of pitching in a while.”

Asselin said he felt his pitching got stronger as the game progressed.

“It always seems to take me an innning or two to get really warmed up,” Asselin said after the game. “After that, I get into the zone and do my thing.”

Stefanuk said the players were hoping the rain predicted for the weekend of Padres tournament would hold off, but in the event the tournament was cancelled, they’d focus on the big picture.

“Definitely, we’re aiming for provincials,” he said. “That’s when we want to be playing our best ball.”

The Gems won the Intermediate A fastball crown in 2011 in Moose Jaw, and placed second in the Senior C championship tournament in Rhein last year.

gold medalists

The U16 Rovers girls soccer team won the gold medal at the Harder Avalon Classic Tournament in Saskatoon during the weekend of May 31- June 2. The team played five games over the three day period, which the girls found exhausting, but also very rewarding.

Team members include (not in order) Allie Germs, Taylor Martin, Taryn Leason, Marcia Moulding, Ciara O’Reillly, Cassidy Penny, Kelsie Wall, Tanyss Wenc, Emma Whitehead, Charlotte Wilson, Hannah Brossart, Lauren Boldt, Micaela Kwas, Danelle Clavelle, Kiana Stinson. The team has been together for two years, and coaches Dwayne Germs and Tim Moulding have helped the girls develop strength and determination. Capturing the gold medal after competing against Saskatoon’s top teams represents a huge achievement. (Photo submitted by Yvonne Morrisey, Valley Soccer Association)

Tough roster decisions ahead for Riders’ head coach Corey Chamblin That was fun!

The Saskatchewan Roughriders opened the 2013 CFL preseason with a 31-24 come-from-behind victory over the Eskimos in Edmonton Friday night. As exhibition games go, it really was a cliff-hanger complete with enough plays to fill a highlight-reel. Well, maybe a short one, but it was better than what we expected at this time of year.

From a Rider perspective, the Green & White started strong with second-string quarterback Drew Willy calling signals and the team scored on its opening drive, a 40-yard Chris Milo field goal. They carried a 10-7 lead into the second quarter but things bogged down a little in the second period when Darian Durant took over and the offense seemed a tad out of sync. A turnover and a defensive breakdown on a 77-yard Eskimo touchdown led to the Riders being on the wrong end of a 14-11 halftime score.

Back-ups for both teams took

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

over in the second half and it was a see-saw battle over the final 30 minutes. However, Roughrider youngsters came through in the clutch as rookie quarterback Tino Sunseri led the team on a game-tying touchdown drive with 53 seconds to go and safety Graig Newman provided the winning points on a 77-yard interception return touchdown with 24 seconds remaining.

It was a satisfying effort for second-year Roughrider head coach Corey Chamblin.

“Our purpose was to come here and win,” Chamblin said after the game. “It means something. Preseason, regular season or postseason, we need

to win football games.”

Saskatchewan’s defense was relentless in this one, sacking Edmonton quarterbacks five times (including three in the first quarter) and picking off a total of four passes. Chamblin said the team is faced with some tough decisions regarding who to keep and who to cut, however a Rider assistant coach quipped “a lot of the decisions made themselves tonight”.

It was a typical showing by the new George Cortez offense, as Rider quarterbacks completed 76 per cent of their passes and connected on timely strikes downfield. That’s the way it’s set up to work.

The Riders left a handful of their big stars at home for this game including Weston Dressler, Geroy Simon, Rey Williams, Keith Shologan, Ricky Foley and Dominic Picard. Some were due to injury while others simply don’t have to worry about their spot in the lineup.

With this veteran, star-laden roster excited about getting the 2013 season going, management is indeed faced with some very tough decisions regarding the salary cap. With the late

addition of defensive end John Chick, reportedly at a pricetag of $120,000 per season, the club is certainly looking at a salary cap violation as it stands today. However, they’ve still got some time to piece it all together knowing full well they have some tough moves ahead.

“We do,” Rider GM Brendan Taman agreed. “And we’ve got some adjustments we’ve got to make. We’re always aware of that. Step one from January to June is that you have to get the good players and make sure

you can win games, right? How we work the finances is handin-hand with that but the salary cap’s made at the end of November, not now.

“We’ll do what we need to do to make it. It’s always part of our equation but we’re not going to overlook getting Dwight Anderson, Weldon Brown or Ricky Foley or Chick, or trading for Geroy. We’ve got to win.

That’s step one and with the finances in mind, we’re going to try to tie that together.”

It’s a good problem to have.

Dueck survives playoff to win Lobstick at Waskesiu Warman topped Estevan in the battle of the unrelated Duecks.

Jody Dueck of Warman made par on the fifth playoff hole on Sunday to defeat Estevan’s Brian Dueck and win the Conexus Men’s Lobstick Open.

The head professional and general manager of The Legends Golf Club said he felt comfortable from start to finish over the two days.

“I didn’t get too up or too down and my mental strength played a big role in how I played,” said Dueck, Jody Dueck who carded back to back 72s to qualify for the playoff. “I stayed out of trouble, for the most part, and putted really well.”

The two Duecks were joined in the playoff by McLaren Taylor of the Dakota Dunes Golf Links. However, Taylor was eliminated from the playoff after the second hole and had to settle for a share of second place with Brian Dueck.

HUMBY, JUNE (BELL)

Humby, June (Bell), of Warman, Saskatchewan passed away peacefully with her son at her side on June 13, 2013 at St. Paul’s Hospital. June was born June 20, 1931 to David and Nellie Bell in Toronto, Ontario. She received her Masters in Education and retired after almost 40 years as a Primary Educator in Ontario. She will be sadly missed by her son, Doug (Bev) Yarnell, her two grandsons, Duncan and Marcus, her son Scott Yarnell, sisters Joan(Tom) Patterson, Dianne (Doug) Roland, a few nieces and nephews, her extended family, The Miazgas, her lifelong friends in Ontario, and the many new friends here in Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her parents. June’s last few years, since moving to Saskatchewan, were devoted to her two grandsons, Duncan and Marcus, who gave her absolute joy everyday.

She was an avid knitter, enjoyed her weekly games night, loved to read, was a lifelong fan of Coronation Street and born to shop.

The family wishes to thank all the staff at the GAMA Medical Centre in Warman for their outstanding care and compassion and all the staff at Saskatoon City Hospital and St. Paul’s Hospital who cared for her during her brief stay. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to Autism Services in her name for her grandson Duncan or to your local literacy program for her grandson Marcus. A memorial service will be held in July, date to be determined and interment will be at Prospect Cemetary in Toronto, where she will be buried with her parents.

Arrangements have been entrusted to MARTENS WARMAN FUNERAL HOME (306-934-4888).

FARMLAND WANTED

NO FEES OR COMMISSIONS! We have recently completed a very successful sale of our farmland to Freshwater Holdings. From the first point of contact, and throughout the sale process Freshwater Holdings was always in touch with us to make sure that all was going as discussed. Doug Rue (Freshwater Holdings), has been very approachable and forthright from the beginning. There was never any pressure, nor unfair dealings during the process. The deal was handled very smoothly and efficiently. When an issue arose, Doug was always in contact to help work out the situation fairly for all parties. We certainly would recommend dealing with Freshwater Holdings for any land discussions, and/or sale.

We are seeking a relationship-oriented sales professional with a passion for agronomy.

You will work with the Production Team to seek out and secure seed production acres for forage and turf seed to achieve company seed production targets and then work with these contract growers on production agronomics to help ensure yields and seed quality are maximized.

Horoscopes

This position also includes a seed purchasing function in the Peace Region that works closely with the Production Team to build relationships, procure acres and coordinate the scheduling of deliveries as per production requirements to achieve territory and corporate goals. Thus, success in this position will be achieved through a balance of sales and agronomy. You will work independently within your territory from the Rycroft facility/your home-based office; you will also work with Regional Account Managers in our Seed and Crop Inputs (Retail) division that operate in your territory to help identify potential contract growers.

Drum roll please, Capricorn. Months and months of hard work finally pay off, and you receive praise all around. A game at home results in victory.

The successful candidate will have a proven ability to plan and manage his/her time effectively and have strong communication skills both internally and externally to promote, support and grow our Seed Production division. Brett Young provides sales and product training, however, education, training and experience in sales and/or agronomy is a definite asset and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture is preferred

Love has taken a back seat to work for far too long, Pisces. Make a change for the better and your relationship will flourish. A long paperwork trail tests patience.

Brett Young Seeds is a privately owned and trusted seed and biological production, distribution, sales and marketing company with international reach and strong local roots since 1934. Our goal is to deliver value to our customers through world class service and differentiated products. Based in Winnipeg, we have locations throughout Western Canada and are currently seeking dynamic and experienced individuals to join our Rycroft, Alberta team to support our continued growth.

Facility General Manager We are seeking a motivated professional to oversee and direct all operations at our Rycroft facility, responsible for high level planning in terms of budgets, administration, scheduling and operations. This position also includes a seed purchasing function in the Peace Region that works closely with the Production Team to build relationships, procure acres for forage and turf seed and coordinate the scheduling of deliveries as per production requirements.

The ideal candidate will have experience and knowledge of seed industry quality standards with an understanding of the certification required by all regulatory authorities.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this position will conduct regular review and follow-up of facility financial statements, market analysis, forecasting and performance tracking in the region.

Post-secondary education in business or agriculture are required for this position with a minimum five years experience in an equivalent position in the agriculture or seed industry, with progressive experience managing people and building relationships. License for Approved Conditioner Operator, Authorized Exporter Operator and accreditation for Grader is an asset.

MONDAY 12 NOON

A special church service was held at Speers United Church on June 9th, when Borden members joined Speers for their annual joint service. Speers Church was celebrating the 50th anniversary of their building and Phyliss Cunningham read a brief history about the building. Three girls were confirmed during the service – Megan Jones from Speers and Jesse Wensley and Robynn Pidwerbesky from Borden UC, with Robynn also being baptized. Gayle Wensley officiated at the service and presented each girl with a bible and spoke of their commitment to follow the teachings of Jesus.

Special music before the service was provided by Diane Jones playing piano and singing, Lucas Lafreniere playing guitar, Sarah Jones on drum and Megan Jones, Kendra and April Lafreniere singing, then after the Baptism and Confirmation the three girls and their mothers sang “Here I Am to Worship”Robynn and Pamela, Megan and Diane, Jesse and Gayle. For Holy Communion Robynn, Megan and Jesse assisted Gayle in passing out the bread and the juice.

Following the service a bounteous potluck lunch with Speers providing the burgers, hotdogs and special anniversary cake was enjoyed by all in the lower hall. (photo)

BABY SHOWER HELD

A baby shower was held the afternoon of June 9th in the Borden Senior’s Centre for Theodore, infant son of Darci Tkaczyk and William Berg, of Borden. Debbie Hembery was emcee and had decorated the tables with special centrepieces, blue cloths and balloons. She introduced special guests- William’s mother Sandra Berg and grandmother Edith Morrison, from Asquith and Darci’s aunt Paulette Pryma of Aberdeen.

As you signed the guest book each one received a box of goodies and you wrote down some words of wisdom for the new mother. You pinned on a blue ribbon and every time someone said the word baby you could steal the pin and getting the most was Gloria Derbowka who received a basket of goodies. There was a baby bottle of M & M’s to guess how many- Elizabeth Derksen guessed closest to 259, a baby bottle of jubes – Crystal Tkaczyk was closest to 46, and the 6 jars of unlabelled baby food had Darlene Penner getting 4 right and she was given a basket of bath articles, which she gave to Darci. Darci opened the gifts, displayed them to everyone and who gave the gift and the community gift card with cash had many names on it. Darci thanked everyone for all the gifts and those who donated money, then a lunch of fruit, dainties and punch was served. (photo)

Saskatchewan is moving forward in efforts to monitor its upland game bird population.

The seven species to be monitored in the review are the gray partridge, ring-necked pheasant, ruffed grouse, spruce grouse, willow ptarmigan, rock ptarmigan, and Saskatchewan’s provincial bird, the sharptailed grouse.

There has been little research conducted on game bird populations in Saskatchewan during the past decade, aside from anecdotal reports.

“Upland game birds are an important part of the Saskatchewan ecosystem and it is time we understood more about their populations in order to make better-informed wildlife management decisions to ensure our environment is healthy and that our resources

are protected for future generations,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said.

“The cornerstone of a science-based wildlife management model is comprehensive data,” Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation President David Pezderic said. “It begins with baseline and comparative information on species populations.

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation strongly supports these efforts and encourages all our members to participate in this program.”

Hunters, stock growers, landowners, birders, interested groups and individuals are invited to participate in the Saskatchewan Upland Game Bird Survey. Each time an individual or group of the specified birds is observed, participants are encouraged to fill out and

submit the form that can be accessed at www.environment. gov.sk.ca/gamebirdsurvey.

“Monitoring is a valuable tool for assessing the impact of changes in weather, habitat and the normal fluctuations in species,” Cheveldayoff said. “This is a good example of our shift to a results-based approach that ensures that the ministry is able to balance environmental protection with promoting the sustainable use of natural resources.”

The results of the survey will assist the ministry in developing a management plan for upland game birds in Saskatchewan.

More information about the Ministry of Environment surveys can be viewed at www.environment.gov.sk.ca/wildlife.

Sask leads nation in manufacturing sales growth The Saskatchewan economy continues to lead the way. According to a Statistics Canada report released recently, Saskatchewan had the greatest year-over-year growth in manufacturing sales in Canada.

In April 2013, Saskatchewan manufacturing sales increased 6.3 per cent (seasonally adjusted) from the year previous to set a new record for the month of April. This was well ahead of the minus 3.3 per cent average experienced nationally.

“Manufacturing remains

an essential driver of the Saskatchewan economy and this report from Statistics Canada reflects its importance to our growth and success as a province,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “It also contributes to our expanding export market and creates jobs and opportunities across the province.”

Manufacturing sales in Saskatchewan were $1.23 billion in April 2013. On a monthly basis, sales increased 10.8 per cent (seasonally adjusted) between March 2013 and April 2013,

the largest percentage growth among the provinces. During that same period, eight provinces experienced a decrease in manufacturing sales.

“Food manufacturing and wood products were the industries experiencing the greatest increase in sales, but we have a great reputation around the world for the quality of goods we produce,” Boyd said. “That is a direct reflection of the success and leadership of the companies we have manufacturing products in Saskatchewan.”

greatest natural resources – the native prairie.

“Saskatchewan’s farm and ranch families depend on the native prairie to support their livelihoods and have historically proven themselves to be the best stewards of the land,” Stewart said.

“Native Prairie Appreciation Week is as much about bringing awareness to the significance of Saskatchewan’s grasslands as it is about recognizing and celebrating the conservation efforts of our producers.”

“Saskatchewan is distinct in its endowment of native grasslands and we recognize and value them as an important part of our natural capital,” Cheveldayoff said. “We recognize the national and international conservation importance of Saskatchewan’s native grasslands as well as the numerous benefits these areas confer to ranchers, recreational users and the broader public.”

“Native Prairie Appreciation Week helps inform urban and rural residents, ranchers and

ries!” and planning for celebratory activities is underway. These events will be coupled with the Society for Range Management Tour which has joined forces with the Saskatchewan Pasture School for 2013.

Two RCMP service dogs – one of which later died – were in a southbound Suburban (above) that was struck by a westbound pickup truck (pictured below) on Friday afternoon. The RCMP member driving the suburban was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police dog dies, handler seriously injured following collision A two-vehicle collision late Friday afternoon, June 14, resulted in the death of an RCMP canine member while sending its handler to hospital in serious condition.

Warman RCMP said the crash occurred at the intersection of Highway 16 and 71st Street, just northwest of Saskatoon. A westbound Chevrolet pickup truck struck a southbound RCMP Police Services Dog Unit Suburban from Manitoba carrying two service dogs.

The lone occupant of the pickup truck was taken to hospital by MD Ambulance while the RCMP dog handler was removed from the vehicle by Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services and was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

One of the dogs suffered only minor injuries but the second was taken to the University of Saskatchewan Veterinary Emergency Unit but could not be saved and was euthanized.

Eastbound traffic on Highway 16 was limited

to one lane for about three hours following the crash. The accident is under investigation with the assistance of an RCMP collision reconstructionist.

Renovations set the stage for bigger things at Valley Ford Construction doesn’t slow down operations at Hague dealership

By TERRY JENSON

tjenson@ccgazette.ca

When complete later this year, Valley Ford in Hague will have a brand new look and a little more space, according to general manager Kevin Adams.

Contractors from Lyle V. Schell Construction Management Services of North Battleford – who recently completed a similar renovation to the Battleford’s Valley Ford dealership – are in the process of adding more square footage to the building and, at the same time, renovating the interior.

“We’re adding a couple thousand square feet to the building to bring us up to about 15,000 square feet in total,” Adams explained, noting the existing showroom and customer lounge area has been demolished to make room for the new addition. “Each department will gain a bit more space whether through the addition itself or just by renovating the existing space. We had a lot of weird angled corners before so a lot of the space was really not useable. When the construction is finished, we will have a nice modern and functional space to work in and for our customers to enjoy.”

In addition to a larger showroom and more comfortable surroundings for customers and staff alike, the dealership is adding a “quick service” bay as well as a wash bay on the southwest side of the building. Adams said the quick service bay is geared to customers who need minor maintenance – such as oil changes and tire work – done as quickly as possi-

ble.

“It’s going to be a nice addition for customers, especially,” he noted. “But, it will also ease some of the congestion in the shop for the technicians as we won’t need to move as many vehicles in and out of the main service bay area. That means our technicians spend more time working on vehicles and can get them back to the customer a little faster.”

In the meantime, it is business as usual for the dealership. The service bays as well as the parts department are working around the interior renovations being done. The sales department, meanwhile, has temporarily relocated to an office trailer north of the building. Vehicles that once occupied the lot are still on-site, but the staff have had to be creative in where they are parked.

Construction at the dealership is expected to wrap up in November or December, based on weather conditions in the coming months.

Next year will mark Valley Ford’s 10th anniversary in Hague and a lot has changed in that time – including the number of people employed by the company. According to Adams, Valley Ford has grown by about 10 staff positions since 2004 and now employs roughly 26 people, virtually all of them full-time.

The expansion and renovation will likely add to that number in the coming months and years, too.

“We want to make it a better experience for our customers,” Adams said. “We looked at how the area is growing and what we think the future looks like and decided it was time to invest some money into the dealership.”

Contractors prepare forms for the new pillars that will mark the entrance to the newly renovated Valley Ford dealership in Hague (as depicted in an architectual rendering below)
