Suspect sought following theft at Warman grocery store The Warman RCMP detachment is asking the public’s help in identifying a suspect responsible for robbing a grocery store in Warman. According to RCMP Sgt. Warren Gherasim, on June 19 at approximately 3:20 p.m. a male entered the SuperValu grocery store in Warman. The suspect accessed the unoccupied office and stole approximately $1,000 dollars in cash from an open safe. Em-

ployees described the male as Caucasian, 5’6” tall, about 60 years old with grey hair, short trimmed facial hair and wearing glasses. The suspect was last seen exiting the store through a rear door and may have left the area in a grey or silver coloured SUV or minivan. Anyone who may recognize the suspect is asked to contact the Warman RCMP at (306) 9751670 or contact Crime Stoppers.

arrested three Police Warman teenagers following an armed robbery in Hague. On Saturday, June 22 at 9:40 p.m. Rosthern RCMP responded to a complaint of an armed robbery at a service station in Hague. Three males wearing balaclavas and hoodies entered the business armed with weapons, including what was thought to be a handgun. They stole cigarettes and money and ran from the scene. Witnesses followed the suspects outside and saw them jump into a vehicle and flee the area. Approximately one hour later three youths were arrested by Rosthern RCMP within the Town of Hague and evidence from the robbery was seized from the vehicle they were located in. An RCMP dog handler from North Battleford assisted in the investigation. Evidence, including an imitation handgun, was located in close proximity to the where the robbery took place. One of the males arrested was released after it was determined he was not involved in the robbery. However, a

Rising water levels hamper access to homes, farms By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A little over a week ago, things seemed to be looking up for the dozen or so propertyowners northwest of Warman who’ve been hit with the worst flooding the area has ever experienced. “It seemed like the water was starting to recede a little bit,” said Bas Froese-Kooijenga, who represents Division 6 at the RM of Corman Park Council table. “But, unfortunately, it was a false hope. The rain we had last week really messed things up. It’s worse than ever now. Every low-lying area, every slough, is full. The land is like a sponge, and it’s completely saturated.” Froese-Kooijenga, whose dairy farm is right on the edge of the worst-hit part of his Division, is doing what he can to help his neighbours by drawing on the resources of the RM public works department, but it’s an uphill struggle. The RM is already stretched trying to keep its 900 miles of roadways graded and gravelled, and its

NEW HIGHWAY FLOODED

Bas Froese-Kooijenga, a councilor with the RM of Corman Park, drives past a flooded farmyard. A portion of Range Road 3052, above, is partially flooded but still passable for four-wheel drive vehicles. best efforts to make roads passable are undermined by overflowing floodwaters. There’s just too much water, and it’s not draining very far or very fast. At least five dairy and beef farms are virtually underwater as the waves of massive sloughs lap against the barn walls. One residence that had to be moved to make way for the new Highway 305 construction is almost inaccessible, and the new highway itself is completely inundated. Municipal roads in the area - or at least those stretches that are not under water are little more than muddy, churned-up trails. Froese-Kooijenga said the property owners have taken whatever steps they could to protect their homes and busineses. “It’s not like people weren’t prepared for this,” he said.

“There are berms built up around homes and farm buildings. Pumps are going all the time. Driveways have been built up in an effort to make sure delivery trucks could get in to pick up milk, but it’s just gotten overwhelming.” Froese-Kooijenga said it’s frustrating to be fielding the phone calls every day without a lot of support from higher levels of government. “Where is the Water Security Agency?” he said. “Where is the Highways Ministry? Where are the people that can actually do something? It starts to feel a little lonely around here. The RM gets the phone calls, and we’re doing our share. We’re talking to Highways. We’re talking to the Water Security Agency. We’re talking to CN. We’re upgrading our ditches and we’re spending more money.

given to the natural drainage channel, is wide and ill-defined with a very shallow grade. It has its source at Buzz Slough, northwest of Osler, and the watercourse meanders in a southwesterly direction until it reaches the east side of Martensville. From there it curves southeast and eventually flows into the South Saskatchewan River via the numerous coulees at Wanuskewin. Because the drainage area of the creek is so large, encompassing several municipalities, efforts to combat the flooding problem have to be handled jointly. The RM

Froese-Kooijenga said there is a widespread belief among property owners in the area that the new Highway 305 has aggravated the situation by acting as a dam and holding back water on the north side of the newly-constructed roadbed. At one point, where it intersects with Range Road 3052, a trench had to be cut to allow water to flow. There was “We’re doing everything we no north-south culvert planned at that can and it would be nice if critical junction, he others would just show up said. But he concedes and help out.

Opimihaw Creek, the name The OCWA, officially incor-

porated earlier this year, is anxiously awaiting the report of an engineering study commissioned last month outlining the cost and specifications for several proposed drainage projects. The report was tendered a few weeks ago and is expected in August. At the top of the priority list for the OCWA is a drainage ditch that would divert much of the water coming from Buzz Slough eastward through Osler and down the Blumenheim Road to the South Saskatchewan River. The capacity, and the cost, of the project must be determined before the OCWA can proceed. If it’s approved and the necessary financing is lined up, the earliest it can proceed to tender is this fall, with shovels in the ground next spring. Froese-Kooijenga said he understands the need for planning, and concedes that having the project actually underway next spring would be a good thing. But, he still can’t help feeling things could move a little faster if there was a greater sense of urgency among senior levels of government. “It’s like a situation where your house is on fire. You want a fire truck to come out. But, we’re basically deciding we have to buy a fire truck, and then we have to go to the bank and arrange the financing to buy the fire truck, and then outfit it. Meanwhile, your house is burning down.”

Flooding, heavy rainfall hampers highway projects By EMMA HENLEY & TERRY PUGH

xcessive rainfall has halted construction on the Dalmeny Access Road project for the time being. “The contractor cannot do anything in this weather, unfortunately,” said Tracey Leibel, Project Manager for the Dalmeny Access Road upgrade, on Friday June 21. Little to no work has been completed in the past couple of weeks due to the heavy rain. “What we are doing, however, is making sure that all the water is being pumped away from the site,” said Leibel. The Dalmeny Access Road, which began reconstruction in 2012, was originally slated to finish in late June. With all the hindrances, however, Liebel estimates that it will actually be finished in the fall. The rebuilding of the Dalmeny Access road is a project costing $20.3 million that spans approximately 13.5 kilometers of road between Dalmeny and 2.3 kilometers south of the junction with Highway 16. The project also includes construction of turning lanes on Highway 16 at its

junction with the Dalmeny Access Road. Along this stretch, road-widening and road-surfacing was progressing until the heavy rains ground things to a halt. There are expected to be minor traffic delays and disruptions as traffic is reduced to one lane through the work area once things dry up. In addition, the zone from north of Highway 16 to Lutheran Road has a width restriction of 4.3 meters. Motorists should also be aware of blowing dust and exercise caution in the area.

HIGHWAY 305 CLOSURE

Highway 305 is also experiencing serious problems because of flooding and heavy rainfall. The existing Highway 305 between Warman and Martensville was closed late last week because of excessive water over the road. The provinicial Highway Hotline issued a notice of the closure shortly after noon on Friday, June 21. Water from flooded fields north of the highway had started to cross the road surface earlier in the week, but traffic was still able to drive through. On Friday, rising water levels forced the

Highways Ministry to close the road. According to the Highway Hotline, the road is impassable due to flooding. Barricades are in place to prevent traffic from using the road. Motorists are advised to use an alternate route. Township Road 384 south of Highway 305, which is normally a well-travelled route between Warman and Martensville, is also impassable at the present time because of construction. The RM of Corman Park is upgrading the road bed and the north ditch along that roadway. Traffic is advised to use Lutheran Road, also known as Township Road 382, between Highway 11 and Highway 12.

NEW 305 UNDER WATER

Construction work on the new Highway 305, meanwhile, has ground to a halt because of rising water levels. Fields and farmyards along the new route for the highway are flooded, and even the newly-constructed roadbed is underwater in places.

The third-annual Radisson Jamboree raised a total of $4,000 toward the purchase of a new fire truck for the community’s fire department, and also put $700 toward the construction of a new playground. Doug Martin, one of the organizers of the country music festival held June 1 and 2, said the calibre of entertainment at this year’s edition was among the best ever. There was also great support from sponsors. The only downside, he noted, was that attendance had dropped from the two previous events. “The first two years we had over 500 people over the two days,” said Martin. “The first

day we averaged about 200 and the second day we averaged about 300. This year, we were around 350 people over the two days, with about 200 on the Sunday.” Martin said the jamboree committee’s expenses were lower this year because the event was held indoors in the rink. He noted the jamboree’s purpose is to provide good entertainment for patrons and exposure for muisicians, while raising funds for essential comunity projects. He said the fire department also raised funds by running the bar, while the rink committee made some money by preparing the meals. “Overall, I think it was very positive for the community,” said Martin. “It would have

Osler plans Canada Day bash The Town of Osler is all set to party hearty on Canada Day. “Monday, July 1 is our traditional celebration day,” explained Osler Mayor Ben Buhler. “We like to pull out and all the stops, and we invite everyone in the community to take part.” The day kicks off with a pancake breakfast at the Osler Community Hall from 7 to 10 a.m., with all proceeds going to help bulid the new Osler Fire Hall. The Osler Parade is always a highlight of the day. It begins at 11:00 a.m. “There are a lot of family-oriented activities throughout the day,” said Buhler. “We have Canada Day cake and ice cream as well as all kinds of other great food available. There will be a plastic bat and ball tournament all day. There are kids events going on all day. We’ll have bingo games ongoing in the commuity hall. There is going to be a talent show at 7:00

p.m. on the outdoor stage featuring a few local people that are going to entertain. Then we will have a big fireworks show to end the day in great style.”

been nice to see the numbers a little higher, but I thought we had a good venue, and when you have an event outside under a tent, you run the risk of bad weather putting a damper on things.” Martin said there will be a new committee next year, and it will be up to them to decide whether to hold a Jamboree in 2014. “The main players are retiring from the committee, and when we have a meeting this fall, we’ll be evaluating the event,” he said. “We’ll have to see if it moves forward for another year. We’ll take a hard look at where we’ve been and where we might go with it in the future.”

RADISSON’S CENTENNIAL

The focus for the community, meanwhile, is shifting to Radisson’s 100 year centennial celebration, scheduled to coincide with its 92nd Annual Agricultural Fair on August 9, 10 and 11. An outline of the centennial weekend program is available online at the Town’s website.

A specially-equipped Google Maps vehicle with a camera mounted to its roof was in Warman on Thursday, June 20. Data is being updated for cities and towns in this area because of the rapid rate of growth and development.

Google Maps data updated for Warman and Martensville areas By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

If you’ve been frustrated trying to track down an address in a new area of Warman or Martensville, relief may be on the way. Google Maps is currently updating its database for the two cities, and other municipalities in the region. A Google Maps Street View car with a specially-designed roof-mounted camera was working its way through Warman on Thursday, June 20. The Street View car is “collecting refreshed imagery for our feature Google Maps,” according to the Google Press team. In an e-mail response to a query from the Gazette on June 20, the Google representatives noted that while they were unable to provide specific details of the mapping process or the number of camera units in the area, they did confirm the data is being collected. The Street View images portrayed in Google Maps were introduced in 2007 and are now available in many cities across 45 countries. “Some Street View imagery of your area is already available on Google Maps,” stated the Google representatives. “But updating our imagery is something we do from time to time as part of our effort to provide users with the most comprehensive, accurate and useful maps psosible.” The process of mapping cities begins in the southern United States and moves north into Canada as the weather gets warmer, and then moves south again as winter comes. The mapping generally begins in a city centre and moves outward toward the suburban areas. The Google mapping team takes into account weather and temperature conditions, as well as sunlight and shadows to obtain the highest-quality images. “Generally speaking, Street View cars have special cameras that take photographs as they drive down public streets,” stated the Google e-mail. “Once the photographs have been taken, they go through computer processing to make them ready for use on Google Maps. “This includes stitching the

still photos into panoramas, and applying our face-blurring technology that helps make sure that passers-by and license plates in the photographs can’t be identified. “In addtion, we’ve also created easy-to-use reporting tools so that people can ask for imag-

es of their house, car or themselves to be further obscured in Street View,” the e-mail concluded. “They can simply click on ‘Report a problem’ on the bottom left-hand side of the Street View image, submit a request, and we’ll blur the image.”

Dundurn hosts massive ‘try-all-a-thon’ for area schools By KIRA OLFERT

kira_mchaggis@yahoo.ca

Even the threat of rain wasn’t enough to keep the approximately 170 students from grades one through six from Dundurn Elementary and Hanley Schools, as well as the grade five class from Venture Heights School in Martensville, from taking part in the Fifth Annual Dundurn Digger’s Try-AllAthon on June 21. The event was held at Lake Blackstrap. The Try-All-Athon was the brainchild of Dundurn teachers Rochelle Fiedelleck, Cindy Krueger, Desrae Catton, and Bridget Shannon-Wobeser, all of whom had either taken triathlon clinics or were actively involved with competing in triathlons. According to Shannon-Wobeser, the women were talking one day about their experiences, and “came up with this crazy idea that maybe we could get our students to do one, too.” She adds that “both students and parents were concerned and a bit nervous that first year. They thought maybe it would be too hard, or maybe they were nervous about the water.” The first year the Try-AllAthon was held, students were timed in order to attempt for qualifying times for provincial levels. However, the timing aspect was axed for subsequent Try-All-Athons, Shannon-Wobeser says, “because it made the whole thing too competitive, and that isn’t what we wanted it to be about. It is supposed to be fun. We want every student of every ability level to be able to take part.” To ensure this happens, students who are uncomfortable with swimming, biking, or running are allowed to skip those legs of the race if need be. Planning for the race begins as soon as the school year does,

Dundurn Grade 1 students race out of the water at Lake Blackstrap on their way to the bike transition area. (Above) Grade 5 students and staff from Dundurn Elementary, Hanley School and Martensville’s Venture Heights wait for the start of their race. explains Shannon-Wobeser, as “there is a lot of paperwork involved. We need permission from the parks department, we need to apply for grants, we need to get our shirts ordered, and we need to arrange for our Tri-Clinics throughout the spring.”

The Tri-Clinics, which help students prepare for the TryAll-Athon and teach things like basic biking skills, as well as how to transition from the water to the bike and from the bike to the run, are put on by the Saskatchewan Triathlon Association Corporation,

non-Wobeser, on a number of levels, “everything from volunteering to haul bikes out to the lake in their cattle trailers and trucks to funding from the Dundurn Lion’s Club and food donated and prepared by the Dundurn and Hanley School Community Councils.

every year.” It is exciting for ShannonWobeser and the other teachers who put so much work into planning and directing the TryAll-Athon to see the excitement and involvement of the community, but it is the excitement of the kids, she says, that really makes everything worth it. “The kids start talking about the Try-All-Athon at the beginning of the year, and if there are students who are new to our school, they hear all about it from the kids who took part the year before. They always talk about how much fun they had, and about how they didn’t think they’d be able to do it at first, and how great they felt when they came across the finish line.” And this sense of accomplishment, says ShannonWobeser, is “what makes the day worth it, and the main thing we want the kids to come away with. Because yes, it is hard and it is a challenge, but they can do it. Not only that, they have done something that most adults have never done. It is a big deal.” Along with Saskatoon’s Kids of Steel, the Dundurn Digger’s Try-All-Athon is one of the two biggest kids’ triathlons in Saskatchewan.

Dundurn students Cameren Rudniski, Elizabeth Davey and Tia Harder cross the finish line at the Dundurn Digger’s 2013 Try-AllAthon

and this year were presented by RossAnn Edwards, Provincial Coach and Saskatchewan Triathlon Centre Coordinator. The STAC also provides some funding for the event. The Dundurn community as a whole is also very involved in the Try-All-Athon, says Shan-

Young workers warned of dangers in the workplace By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

Young workers are one-third more likely to sustain injury in the workplace than adult workers, according to Workplace Saskatchewan. On average, three young people in Saskatchewan die on the job each year. WorkSafe Saskatchewan, an injury prevention and workplace safety partnership between the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) and the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety, visited Hepburn School on Tuesday June 18 to talk to a class of grade eleven students. “Our message that we’re trying to convey is that there is no such thing as a stupid question,” said Prevention Consultant Tim Kalynchuk. “What we mean by that is that no employee should ever feel like they cannot ask a question of their employer where their safety is concerned.” A press release from Worksafe Saskatchewan states that the three main causes of injury and death in the workplace are lack of supervision and/or training, minimal knowledge of rights and responsibilities, and lack of experience in recognizing hazardous situations. Kalynchuk uses a powerpoint to educate the students. Examples of real-life incidents involving injured young workers are presented to the students and they are asked to detail what might have been done to prevent the accidents. The students responded with

insightful answers. “This is a smart group,” said Kalynchuk. “There’s a stereotype of teenagers that they’re stupid, they don’t think. That’s not true. Teenagers are very capable and intelligent.” During the second half of the presentation, Curtis Weber takes over from Kalynchuk. Weber, a Youth Education and Training Coordinator with the Saskatchewan WCB, shares the story of his accident with the group of students. Weber was steadying a hopper bottom, a part from a grain silo, while it was being hoisted into place by a crane on the back of a truck. Weber explaned that he knew using a truck to drag the hopper bottom, which was on skids, would have been quicker than using the crane. Incidentally, this course of action would have been much safer. Still, he did not speak up. “I knew what we were doing was a waste of time,” said Weber. “At any point in time I could have spoken up and said, ‘Hey guys, if we do this instead of this we’ll save a lot more time’ but it was my third day on the job, I was seventeen, and I didn’t want to look like that know-it-all kid. I wanted to be known as the guy who did his job competently and didn’t complain.” Weber was surrounded by steel when the hopper bottom stuck a low-hanging powerline, causing 14,400 volts to surge through Weber’s body three separate times. “We’d identified the potential danger of that powerline before

starting work, but upon identifying it we ignored it,” said Weber. Aside from stating that there’s no such thing as a stupid question, Workplace Saskatchewan stresses that it is vital an employee goes with their gut-feeling. If something feels wrong, it probably is wrong. “One of the other workers,” Weber continues “a split second before the accident, turned to me and was about to tell me

Third baby in three months born on Hwy. 16 near Clavet

‘Curtis, this isn’t safe. Get out of there.’ He turned to me just in time to see what happened to me. “The thing about these incidents is that it’s not only the person who sustained the injury who is affected,” said Weber. “Of course they have the physical trauma and mental trauma to show for it, but the people who witnessed the accident are also affected. The family of the victim is affected.”

If you are in your third trimester of pregnancy and waiting for the birth of your baby you might want to take a drive on Highway 16 East. Within just a few kilometers around Clavet, three babies have been born on the highway with the assistance of MD Ambulance Dispatchers since April. The latest incident occurred at 5:15 am on Saturday morning, June 22. A healthy baby boy was born on Highway 16 East when the parents were unable to make it to Saskatoon. “Lately it seems that we are having a lot of babies delivered on the highway or at the homes of the parents, but I believe this is a first to see so many delivered in pretty much the same location. There is no real explanation for it” states Troy Davies MD Ambulance spokesperson. “We can go up to 6 – 8 month’s with none of these calls taking place or we can see 3 in a two week period. It’s the most exciting call for any Paramedic or dispatcher as long as everyone is healthy”.

Premier Wall’s tough precarious Conservative ties

WCB has some explaining to do

Premier Brad Wall has recently been caught in a precarious game of when to be supportive of the federal Conservatives.

By COLIN CRAIG

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation

COMMENTARY

What would your boss say if you were responsible for a project at work and it went $13 million over budget? Think you would get laid off? Get a pay cut? Demotion? Most people would answer “yes” to any of those penalties. Oddly enough, the provincial government’s Workers Compensation Board (WCB) is saying “no.” The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), a donation-based taxpayers watchdog organization, heard from a whistleblower about some significant cost overruns at the WCB – a crown corporation that handles workplace injury insurance for businesses. The whistleblower described how a software upgrade project had gone way over budget. No one appeared to be talking about it outside the organization so we decided to poke around a bit and see if there was any truth to the rumor. After investigating we discovered that the WCB did indeed go ahead with a software upgrade to their claims system back in 2009. They put out a tender and a company named FINEOS won the contract. According to documents obtained by the CTF, the original budget for the upgrade was $20.3 million. However, when all was said and done, the project came in around $33.2 million; a whopping 64% higher than expected. This was no rounding error. We asked the WCB for details on what other companies bid for the original tender, but were told such information would cost $120. The crown corporation claims it would take someone six hours to respond to the request. The WCB also wants $90 for all documents that went to their board on the matter and another $90 if you want to see the board’s minutes on this issue. Incredibly, they refuse to provide any audit documents or reviews on the upgrade and cost overruns. When we asked for the budget details to confirm the whistleblower’s cost overrun tip, we also asked for details on who was held accountable. After all, far too often government bodies just simply shrug their shoulders and move along as cost overruns pile up. This frequently occurs in government as those spending the funds are using other peoples’ money. Conversely, when a business blows through a project’s budget the owners and shareholders seldom just shrug their shoulders and move along; after all, it’s their money on the line. The WCB informed us “no staff were demoted, suspended, received pay cuts or were dismissed.” However, the whistleblower claims there have been some departures since the debacle unfolded…but that the wrong people were let go. Whatever the case, perhaps more important than the accountability angle is the prevention angle; as in, what is the WCB doing to prevent cost overruns like this from occurring again? We also asked for information on internal audit documents or analysis since the FINEOS upgrade was complete, but those haven’t materialized yet. As the CTF continues to probe this issue, why not consider asking your MLA about the matter as well? The more people that start asking questions, the more likely we can get to the bottom of what happened and learn what the WCB is doing to prevent such a debacle again in the future.

Provincial Politics

Of course, Wall and his Saskatchewan Party followers have no official ties to Stephen Harper’s Conservatives that make such support a given. That’s an advantage for a couple of reasons. First, as student of political history, Wall would know that Saskatchewan provincial parties tied directly to the federal government generally pay the price. Ross Thatcher, for example, could never shake the Pierre Trudeau Liberal connection. Second, while Wall and the Sask. Party are “conservative” in style, their success has had a lot to do with distancing themselves from the “Conservative” brand in Saskatchewan that has been defined by the debt/ corruption Saskatchewan’s 1980s Progressive Conserva-

Reader Opinions

Premier’s anti-bullying message rings hollow for labour unions In the Regina Leader Post dated June 18, 2013, there was a front page photo of Premier Brad Wall with a very serious expression on his face searching for a solution to bullying in Saskatchewan. That picture reminds me of when Brad Wall put himself on record saying if he ever became Premier, he would go to war with the labour Unions. Boy if that isn’t bullying I don’t know what is. A threat like that could scare the hell out of a lot of workers fearful for their jobs. That’s the whole point; wage

tives. As Wall often reminds us, his Sask. Party is a coalition of Liberals, Reformers and old Progressive Conservatives. It is for that reason that Wall has always kept a somewhat safe distance from the federal Conservatives. That said, Wall also needs the help and support from the Conservative federal government. And in today’s modern Saskatchewan, there is also a need to somewhat keep harmony in the “conservative” family. After all, a lot of people in Saskatchewan who support both the Sask. Party and the federal Conservatives. But just when to supportive of the Harper government has become an increasingly precarious thing. For example, Wall’s recent pronouncement that the Senate is beyond repair and the time has come to abolish it was a popular one that people of all political stripes can get behind. But it was a severe body blow to Harper and the Conservatives who, notwithstanding the shenanigans of a few Liberal Senators, now own the Senate mess. It was Harper who appointed senators Patrick Brazeau, Mike

workers need protection from the likes of Brad Wall. I really have to wonder if Premier Wall gets satisfaction when his government takes some union workers jobs and then gives those same jobs to workers that are not with a union. If that isn’t bullying, for sure it is mean spirited. I have to ask Premier Wall why the double standard - some workers he gives big raises but others he terminates their employment. That for sure is not fair play. Henry Neufeld Waldeck, SK

Duffy and even Pamela Wallin who have been at eye of the Senate firestorm over whether or not they misused their housing or travel allowances. It was Harper’s own former chief of staff Nigel Wright who stroked the $90,000 cheque Duffy used to pay back his wrongly claimed housing expenses. And it is now Harper’s Conservatives that are plummeting in the polls as result of all this. So when Wall started to sound more like Thomas Mulcair and the federal NDP by joining the chorus of those wanting to abolish the Senate, it likely didn’t sit well with Harper. This may have been why Wall was so eager to take on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau for charging $20,000 speaking fees to charities while sitting as an MP. After all, it is an unconscionable amount for the rich, privileged son of Pierre Trudeau to be charging, especially while drawing an MPs salary. And there’s the added bonus of taking on a Trudeau – still a despised name in the West and among Conservatives everywhere. What better way to ingratiate yourself to Harper than to use

NEED TO

one’s own credibility to take on Harper’s biggest foe? The problem, however, is that Wall might not have picked his spot very well. As it turns out, Wall’s own handpicked star candidate, former Roughrider Gene Makowsky, was also charging charities speaking fees while sitting as an MLA – something he cleared with the conflict-ofinterest commissioner (he announced he was giving back the money after Wall’s criticism of Trudeau). And, while Makowsky’s $2,000 fee seemed rather paltry compared with Trudeau’s $20,000 charge, the principle remains the same. Moreover, Wall seemed to forget his own Sask. Party history involving Saskatoon Northwest MLA Serge Le Clerc – its only MLA forced to resign in scandal. Part of that scandal included the use of his MLA office to run his lucrative speaking business. So while trying to lend a hand to Harper, Wall may have created a few problems for himself. It’s all part of Wall’s dilemma of picking the right time to throw his support behind Harper’s Conservatives.

Prairie Spirit School Division budget anticipates another year of growth Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education passed its budget for the 2013/14 academic year at its regular meeting on Monday, June 17. The budget includes operating expenses of $107 million for the school division’s 45 schools in 28 communities surrounding the City of Saskatoon. The 2013/14 school year will mark the eighth consecutive year of enrolment growth in Prairie Spirit School Division, with a projected enrolment of 10,158 (Pre-K to Grade 12), an increase of 344 students from September 30, 2012. This is the second year of the new provincial education funding model, which is based on the recognition of costs associated with providing educational services. Transitional funding was provided to some school divisions for 2012/13 in recognition that the provincial government has not yet finalized all aspects of the funding model. Prairie Spirit received $3.2 million in transitional funding for the current school year but that funding has been reduced substantially to $895,000 for the 2013/14 school year. “This has been a very challenging budget for the Board to consider,” said Larry Pavloff, Board Chair. “Throughout our deliberations, our focus has been on doing what is best for students to improve student learning throughout the Division, despite our limited funding.” Since amalgamation, the Prairie Spirit Board of Education has prioritized smaller class sizes for improved student learning. Because the government does not recognize smaller class size as a funding cost,

Prairie Spirit was allocated instructional funding equivalent to approximately $10,000 less per teacher than the provincial average. The school division employs over 600 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers. “To be clear, Prairie Spirit could receive an additional $6 million in funding if we were funded at the provincial average,” explained Pavloff. “The Board has spoken to the Minister and the Ministry of Education about this funding inequity.” Pavloff added that the direct impact of this provincial funding disparity is that while other growing school divisions were able to increase their staffing levels, Prairie Spirit has had to reduce its staff, despite a comparable growth rate. The Board achieved a balanced budget by examining staffing levels at each school in the Division. As a result of the review and in consultation with schools – without impacting ongoing contractual obligations – the Division reduced the overall teacher staffing levels in schools by a total of just under 11 FTE. With this change in staffing, the system-wide pupil to teacher ratio (PTR) will increase from 16.3 to 16.8. “The Board’s work in finalizing a balanced budget was very difficult,” said Pavloff. “We recognize and appreciate the good work that all our staff members do every year and we know that will continue in the new school year as well.” Pavloff noted that the new budget reflects the Board’s support for innovative ways of incorporating real-life learning with academics. Work is underway to prepare Walter W. Brown School in Langham for the Da Vinci Project, a partnership with Habitat for Humani-

ty to build modular homes. The program is being designed to eventually provide a dual credit program (high school and apprenticeship credits) for students. “The goal of this work is to provide students with opportunities to combine their core academic learning at school with learning experiences in the real

world,” explained John Kuzbik, Prairie Spirit’s Director of Education. The 2013/14 budget includes the completion of the Warman Community Middle School construction project as well as six portable classrooms which will be added to two elementary schools in Martensville to accommodate enrolment growth.

Long-running club still a hit with young ‘model citizens’ By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

For the last 29 years, Richard Hale has tirelessly operated the Warman Elementary School/ Warman High School Model Club, despite having retired from teaching in 2008. “We started during the 198485 school year,” Hale said June 24. “The first meetings were held in the former WHS Library and over the last 29 years we have alternated between both schools depending on which building had the greater

share of interested members attending.” The Model Club is the longest running extra-curricular activity at Warman High School. It has been in place longer than any of the sports teams. Over time, the club’s size has varied from 10 members to as high as 25, with girls and boys between 6 and 14 years of age attending. The club, which includes members from both the elementary school and the high school, is self-funded. The Model Club encourages members to plan, paint, and

build any varied type of plastic scale model kit. “Over the years we also had those interested in trains, RCs, rockets and wooden kits,” said Hale. “Once completed both schools provided excellent display cases to show the finished models.” The Model Club is a Junior Club affiliated with the Scale Modelers Association of Saskatoon (SMAS) and the larger organization Interna-

tional Plastic Modelers Society (IPMS) of Canada. Both organizations have provided information, prizes for contests and member outreach to demonstrate various skills. Hale, who recognized former members and staff, is hoping to be able to continue next fall in a new location at The Legends Centre. He hopes the students of the new school and the current schools will be encouraged to join.

Ferries closed due to increased river flow By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

The Clarkboro Ferry and Hague Ferry are in drydock for the time being due to a massive increase in water flow in the South Saskatchewan River. While Saskatchewan residents are understandably concerned for their Alberta neighbours, the flooding in southern Alberta is now impacting this region. The flood that hit Calgary on June 20, coupled with the runoff from an estimated 150 mm of rain last week, has raised water levels at Diefenbaker Lake. This spells trouble for residents who make daily ferry commutes across the river. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) released water from the Gardiner Dam at Lake Diefenbaker at a rate of 2,000 cubic meters per sec-

The W Law Group

has now opened a branch office at:

ond earlier this week. That’s 12 times the normal rate of 500 cubic meters per second. “With the exception of Wollaston Lake Barge, all of the ferries are cable operated,” said Doug Wakabayashi, Assistant Director of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, on June 21. “This means they are fully dependent on the water level to remain operational. Too high or too low and it’s a no go.” Updates on ferry service are available on the Highway Hotline as well as the Ministry’s twitter feed. Wakabayashi said he was unable to comment as to when the ferries would reopen for business. “There is no way to predict how long a ferry will be out of commission or when. It really all depends on the water levels.”

WARMAN & MARTENSVILLE

Report calls for new schools to be built as soon as possible Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

A new report prepared for the Ministry of Education recommends the construction of new elementary schools in the communities of Warman and Martensville as soon as possible. The report was prepared by AODBT Architecture and Interior Design and was funded by the Ministry as part of its facility’s approval process. The Ministry has already identified the need for new elementary schools for both communities in its capital priority list. “This report supports what our Board has been saying for a long time. We urgently need new elementary schools in our growing communities,” said Larry Pavloff, Chair of the Prairie Spirit Board of Education. Pavloff added that the Ministry now must provide the next step in the approval process so the projects can begin. The report detailed the strong growth in both communities, with the greatest growth at the younger grades. Both Warman and Martensville had over 150 kindergarten students this year.

MARTENSVILLE SCHOOL

The report concluded that the City of Martensville has the greatest need for a new Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8 facility and recommended that planning and design begin immediately for a facility to accommodate an opening day enrolment of 750 students. The facility would be located in the city’s northeast, to align with the new resi-

dential growth within the community. Martensville already has two elementary schools, each with over 600 students. Valley Manor Elementary School in Martensville is particularly crowded, with a core utilization rate of over 200 per cent. An extensive expansion and renovation of Martensville High School is about to go to tender. Once that project is completed, the high school will include Grade 7 and 8 students, as one way to alleviate the overcrowding in the city’s elementary schools. However, the report concluded that the elementary schools in Martensville will still be overcrowded when the high school project is completed in 2016.

WARMAN SCHOOL

The report determined that another elementary school in Warman is also needed because the opening of the Warman Community Middle School this fall will only help alleviate enrolment pressures in the short term. Prairie Spirit School Division has already consulted with the City of Warman to confirm a location for the next new school in the city. Assuming enrolment rates continue, the new school would be designed with an opening day enrolment of 400 students. Warman Elementary School (Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5) has over 840 students at the end of the 2012/13 school year, while Warman High School has 825 students in Grade 6 through 12.

Taco Time coming to Martensville this fall Hungry consumers will have another dining option later this year. Rasik Patel and Jayesh Patel, who currently own two Taco Time locations in Stonebridge and Willowgrove in Saskatoon, are excited to be expanding north. “We chose Martensville because there really is nothing like this now in the city, so residents will have the option to dine on Mexican food – they’ll have more choice,” says Rasik Patel. Patel says the location for their new restaurant – next door to Dairy Queen – is excellent, offering great visibility and ample parking for customers, and the process of moving into the city went smoothly. “Setting up the location here

was fairly easy, and so the next big thing we need to do is recruit staff to work at the restaurant,” says Patel. The Patel’s expect to hire eight or nine staff in the coming weeks. Mayor Kent Muench says more job creation is great news for Martensville. “We know residents want more business and retail development in Martensville, and they want more choice. And, any development that leads to additional opportunities for jobs for our residents is most welcome in Martensville.” Dillon Shewchuk, City of Martensville Community & Economic Development Manager responsible for encouraging business and commercial development in the city, says contin-

ued residential growth and the visibility and traffic quality of Martensville’s commercial sites is a big bonus for businesses. “At almost 8,300 residents and counting – and thousands of vehicles passing by Martensville each day – business owners can’t help but be encouraged by the potential for success that’s been created here.” In the past two years, Tim Horton’s and Dairy Queen, have built in Martensville. A new Pharmasave, Little Caesers Pizza, Second Cup and Canalta Hotel are also currently planned or under development. “These are really exciting times for Martensville and we’re looking forward to continued development in our city,” says Muench.

Martensville moving to utility e-bills By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Residents of Martensville could soon receive their water utility bills via e-mail. The paperless option will be available July 1, according to Lorraine Postma, Director of Finance for the City of Martensville. “For those people who want to go that route, we’re going to start sending out water utility bills by e-mail starting July

1,” said Postma in an interview at the Martensville Open House last week. “Anyone who doesn’t want a paper bill in the mail anymore can just sign up for this service, and we’ll e-mail them their bill.” Postma said paper copies of water utility bills will still be available for those residents who prefer the existing method. The main reason for moving to e-mail bills is cost-savings,

she said. “I would say the city will save about $10,000,” said Postma. “It’s a little hard to say exactly how much, because it depends on the number of people who sign up for the service. But there is a significant saving, not only in postage, but also in staff costs that go along with print-

Excitement builds as Warman Community Middle School gets set to open Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

Warman Community Middle School will be ready to welcome over 500 students in Grades 4 through 7 at the start of the new school year this fall. Construction on the new school remains on schedule. “There are over a hundred workers on site at the school every day to ensure the school will be ready for students,” said John Kuzbik, Director of Education for Prairie Spirit School Division. The school was announced by the Premier in March, 2010, and is part of a joint-use project with the City of Warman’s Legends Complex in the community’s north end. “This facility will be a truly unique environment for staff and students,” said Sam Dyck, Prairie Spirit Trustee. “We are proud of our partnership with the City of Warman to create a fully integrated facility.” For example, the school’s heating and cooling system is connected to the Legends Centre arena and is designed to be highly energy efficient. As part of a joint-use agreement signed between the city and school division, students at the new school will have access to gym facilities in the Legends Centre. The local community will in turn have access to the theatre and library in the new school. Wright Construction is working on this complex $23.1 million project and says it expects to have the core areas of the school – classrooms, library and administrative offices – entirely ready for students in September. Other areas of the school (Industrial Arts lab and theatre, for example) will be completed after the school is open. “We will ensure the school is a safe place for everyone while the project is completed,” said Greg Tebay, Principal of the

Construction of Martensville High School expansion could begin this fall By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville High School expansion project can’t start soon enough for Bonnie Hope, Martensville’s elected representative on the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Board of Education. “It is an absolutely vital necessity,” said Hope in an interview on Tuesday, June 18. “We are just jam-packed in our elementary schools right now, so this is almost like an interim measure to try to give us some breathing room” for the future. Hope said the school division is optimistic the project will go to tender in early September. “Hopefully it all works out and we can see some shovels in the ground this fall as well,”

ing the bills and stuffing the envelopes and so on. It would be a huge saving if everyone got their bills by e-mail.” Payments for water utility bills can be made to the City of Martensville by cheque, cash or can also be paid online through a resident’s bank. Postma said the onus is on the resident to pay their water bill, regardless of whether it is a paper bill or an e-mail bill. “They can’t use the excuse that they don’t have to pay their water bill because their e-mail is down,” she said. “Sorry, but the bill still has to be paid even if your computer crashes.”

she said, noting the beginning of construction on the adjoining field house around the same time will make everything more “tangible” for the community. “It’s something that’s been talked about for a long time,” she stated. The renovated and expanded high school will be more than double the size of the existing school, both in terms of its footprint and its student population, said Hope. “Right now we have just under 400 students in Martensville High School, so I’m sure we’ll at least double the capacity and be in the range of 800 students by the time the new school is fully operational,” she said. “At that point we’ll be already be at our anticipated capacity.”

NEW SCHOOL PLANNED

Hope said the school division is continually lobbying the provincial Ministry of Education for more facilities in an effort to keep up with the growth in the student population. The PSSD recently submitted a feasibility study for a third elementary school to be built in Martensville’s eastern edge, adjacent to the proposed Lake Vista neighbourhood. While the timeline for government approval and eventual construction of the new elementary school is still unknown, Hope said the City of Martensville has allocated land for the school. “It’s in the new neighbourhood plan,” she said. “Right now we’re just waiting on the reponse from the government, to see when we can actually

start on the project. Once they accept the feasibility study, then I think they would give us the dollars we need to start some of the detailed planning.” Hope anticipates there could be as many as 700 students in the new elementary school when it is eventually built. “We’re growing at an exponential rate in this region in general, and in Martensville in particular,” she said. “We’re growing three times faster than any other community in the province. Every year, we’re seeing an additional 150 new students added to our two existing elementary schools.” Hope said the fastest-growing demographic in Martensville right now is kids five and under. “What we’re finding, for example, if there are fifty babies born in a year, by the time those children reach school age, there are 75 children starting school,” she said. “The birth rate is one factor, but there are that many more families moving into the community in addition to that.” Hope said both the high school expansion and the new elementary school are priority projects for the school division, and she said the elected trustees are doing their best to convince the province that the commitment for a new elementary school is needed as soon as possible. “We are in dire straits in this community,” she said. “We have met numerous times throughout the year with the ministry to state our case and we will continue to lobby and hopefully they will be timely in their response.”

ically registered at the new school for Grades 4 through 7 next year. The school’s administrators – Greg Tebay, Principal and VicePrincipals Amy Orth and Lisa Mason – were introduced at the informational meeting and the school staff list was shared. Tebay invited parents to attend the School Community Council’s Welcome and Open House BBQ at the school on Thursday, September 5 at 5 p.m. Students, parents and community members are encouraged to check the school’s website: blogs.spiritsd.ca\wcms for detailed information and for updates throughout the summer.

Land cleared for Martensville fire training facility just north of city limits By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A new firefighters’ training facility is being constructed by the Martensville Fire Department on land in the RM of Corman Park owned by the City of Martensville. A 200 by 400 meter area was cleared of bush and trees and levelled by a contractor in early June, and according to Martensville Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin, the plan is to have training exercises at the facility before the year is out. “It’s pretty exciting,” said Austin in an interview last week. “It could potentially be quite large, because it’s all raw land. We’re hoping that some of the other fire departments in the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association will want to partner with us and help develop it. Ideally, it could be a jointuse facility.” Austin said the tender for stripping the topsoil and laying down gravel was let six weeks ago. The successful contractor started operations last week.

Warman’s Emergency Measures plan gets updated By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman’s emergency measures plan has been rewritten over the past year to enable closer coordination with the City of Saskatoon, according to Doug Fahlgren, Warman’s Emergency Measures Coordinator. Speaking at the Warman Open House meeting June 11, Fahlgren said the City of Warman’s plan is now based on the national standard of Inci-

dent Command System (ICS). “This is a management system that can be used on any kind of size of incident,” said Fahlgren. “It can also be used as a management system for a planned non-emergency event. This is the system our fire department has been using, and also our partners in Saskatoon and other communities.” Fahlgren said over the past year training has been set up for city councilors and civic staff to ensure they know their roles in the event of an emergen-

cy. “We’ve had initial training and briefings on the new system,” he said. “And we’re in the process of organizing and seting up training for other city staff.” In the last municipal budget, council approved an investment for a standby power unit for the Warman Fire Hall. “This is a priority item,” said Fahlgren. “In the event of a major emergency, the fire hall becomes the incident command centre. This is one facility that we want to ensure has power

and keeps the doors operating. The other area of capital spending is for setting up an emergency operations centre in the fire hall and adding electronic equipment for that command centre.” Fahlgren said this year, the City of Warman is partnering with the City of Saskatoon on a “major all-incident emergency exercise.” During the training exercise, Warman will receive “evacuees” from of Saskatoon. The Legends Centre will be used as a receiving centre.

Warman set to celebrate Canada Day at Lions Park By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

Here’s hoping for good weather this Monday, for the Canada Day celebrations in Lions Park. “It’s our first Canada Day celebration as a city so we really want to wow it this year,” said Coralie Bueckert, Warman Recreation and Community Events Coordinator, in an interview on Monday June 24. The celebrations will start bright and early on Monday with a Pancake Breakfast at 8:30 a.m, followed by a Service of Celebration at 10:00 a.m. “It’s being conducted by the Ministerial Association in Warman, but it’s not going to be religious,” said Bueckert. “It’s an event for everyone.”

Activities for children will be going on all day from 11:00 a.m to 7:00 p.m. There will be bouncy castles, face painting, a scavenger hunt, and carnival games, among other things. The spray park will be open to provide the opportunity to cool down should the weather prove hot and sunny. “We’re giving each kid a booklet when they arrive,” said Bueckert. “If they mark off all the activity stations in their booklets, they get prizes at the end of the day.” There will also be a $5 charge for a wristband for each child to wear. This provides them with unlimited access to all activity stations throughout the day. The stations are being run this

year by the Summer Fun Staff from the Legends Centre. Different vendors will also make an appearance, the Cheerleading Club among them, who will be selling various confections such as candy and freezies. For the first time during Canada Day celebrations in Warman, the Valley Kruzers Car Club will be doing a Show and Shine during the day. “We’re really excited for that,” said Bueckert gleefully. Throughout the day, there will also be the expected traditional singing of Oh Canada and greetings from the Mayor

of Warman. A special concert by Will J. Ballantyne, who recently returned from a live radio appearance in Nashville, Tennessee, is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. that evening. Ballantyne will be joined on stage by bluegrass guitarist Neil Penny. The concert will be followed by a movie in the park and a massive fireworks display. “I encourage families to come on out and celebrate the day,” said Bueckert. Should it rain on Monday the celebrations will be held indoors at the Legends Centre.

Martensville firefighters encourage kids to wear helmets while cycling By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Fire Department and RCMP officers are rolling out their annual Bicycle Helmet safety program in an effort to encourage kids to be safe this summer. Darren Remenda with the Martensville Fire Department is coordinator of the program, which was first launched about ten years ago. Remenda has been with the initiative for the past eight years, and he said based on his experience, bicycle helmets make a positive difference. That assertion is backed up by the national statistics. “Across Canada, there are between 50 and 70 cyclists who die every year as a result of collisions or crashes, if they’re not wearing a bicycle helmet,” said Remenda. “Head injuries are among the most devastating injuries because they can have long-term effects, even if a person survives.” The Martensville bike helmet safety program is aimed

at recognizing and rewarding youngsters who wear helmets while riding bikes, scooters, skateboards and rollerblades. “The way it works is we drive around the streets in our marked fire trucks and police cars, and if we see a child wearing a helmet, we put on the lights and siren and pull them over,” said Remenda. “We give them a ‘ticket’ - which is really a coupon for a slushie from one of our four sponsors - and encourage them to keep wearing their helmet and to tell their friends to as well.” Remenda said the success of the program has a lot to do with the participation of the sponsors, which include the Coop, Corner Store, Dairy Queen and Theodore’s Bakery. He noted that about 100 coupons for each sponsor are printed at the beginning of the summer, and are distributed through July and August. He said the program is popular among kids, who quickly realize that Wednesday evenings, when the Fire Department

holds its regular training session, is a good time to ride around town wearing a helmet. “A couple years ago I told my kids I was coming by our place,” said Remenda. “And as we rounded the corner, there were about 25 kids circling around waiting for us.” The city’s two elementary schools have also helped promote the program, he added. “I sent a notice to the schools advising them about the program and they sent notes home with the kids,” he said. “The next day, I saw a lot more kids riding with helments on.” He said while there have been no fatalities in Martensville because of young people not wearing helmets, there have been a few close calls. “Last summer, we had a young person- about 12 years old - who was skateboarding and hit his head on the curb,” said Remenda. “He ended up with a very serious concussion and a very big gash on his forehead.”

Saskatchewan cancer patients to benefit from PET/CT scanner By EMMA HENLEY emma@ccgazette.ca

Cindy Komodowski, a resident of Saskatchewan, is just one of the many medical patients who will no longer have to travel out-of-province to have access to a PET/CT scanner. “Travelling out of province for PET/CT scans and all the surgeries were, at times, difficult and scary for me, my husband, and our two sons,” she said during the unveiling of a new PET/CT Centre in the Royal University Hospital (RUH) in Saskatoon. Komodowski, who was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer in 2002, has since travelled to Edmonton and Vancouver in order to receive a total of eight PET/CT scans. “There is a lot of added stress about travel, accommodation, and food expenses, on top of being worried about your illness,” she said. “Now Saskatchewan patients, not all of whom will have been as fortunate as I was being able to travel to get the healthcare I needed, can get the scans they need.

“I feel so fortunate that I’ve been able to have these scans and I’m so happy that now I can get one here in Saskatchewan, surrounded by the support and comfort of family and friends,” she said. The new installation of the PET/CT is expected to provide service to an estimated 1,200 patients during this fiscal year, and then 1,900 patients annually in the following years. Not only does the new scanner reduce the number of invasive examinations patients may be subject to, but will provide patients with earlier diagnoses and faster treatment. PET/CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) scans are used mainly to determine treatment required for cancer patients, and monitor its effectiveness. Patients are injected with a small amount of a radioactive substance and a contrast medium (a special sort of dye) that will attach themselves to cancerous cells. The PET/CT scanner then picks up clearer images of possible tumors. The scans help determine if the tumors

are malignant or benign, if cancer is developing in normalsized lymph nodes, and can distinguish between scarring and recurrent tumors. PET/CT scans can also be used to detect neurological and cardiac conditions and for diagnosing and treating epilepsy, dementia, and movement disorders. The Government of Saskatchewan provided $4 million for the new imaging technology, and will be providing an annual $3.7 million fund for the operation of the PET/CT. The RUH Foundation supplied an additional $2 million required to renovate the building and install the scanner, and an extra $500,000 for research and education. In conjunction with the new scanner, PotashCorp has donated $1 million to fund the PET/ CT Centre, a new diagnostic centre that will work with the hospital’s current MRI unit.

Its primary function is to support students from grades 10-12 with one to one instruction, modular instruction and online instruction. Attendance is flexible to encourage students to attend when it is best for them. Students may begin a class at any time in the school year, carry work over a semester or a summer and with the permission of school administration, take one or more classes in the regular school. In the latter situation, students are expected to follow the regular expectations of students at WHS. Storefront is a good option for upgrading core classes and for students who work, especially shift work. There is staff support in English, History, Biology, and Math.

Kick-off to new season

Blades name Struch new head coach

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

The Saskatoon Blades have announced a restructuring of their coaching and hockey operations staff, effective immediately. The change includes associate coach David Struch being promoted to the role of head coach. Outgoing head coach Lorne Molleken will remain on as both general manager and alternate governor. The rest of the Blades coaching staff will stay intact, including Jerome Engele and Curtis Leschyshyn staying on as assistant coaches, with Tim Cheveldae remaining in place as the goaltending coach. “Our organization has full confidence in what David can do with this team going forward”, said general manager Lorne Molleken. “He has been a part of this coaching staff for the past 7 years. He’s done the necessary work to become a head coach in this league. He’s passionate about coaching, the city of Saskatoon, and the Blades.”

ried about that. However, quarterback Darian Durant was mauled repeatedly by Calgary defenders in his nearly threequarters of work. The Stamps rang up six sacks on the night. Meanwhile the Roughrider defensive front never really got near Stampeder quarterbacks at all, which was a stark contrast from the week before. Calgary clearly won the battle in the trenches, along the line of scrimmage and served notice that they’ll be a formidable opponent all season long. “Yes they did,” grimaced Rider GM Brendan Taman. “Both sides of the ball and that’s where we lost the game, really. They need to be better there.” The highlight of the game from a Saskatchewan perspec-

Ready or not, the 2013 Canadian Football League is upon us. For the Saskatchewan Roughriders, their Week 1 game is against the Edmonton Eskimos Saturday afternoon at 1:30 pm (TSN, CKRM Rider Radio Network). And after a 1-1 preseason the question is; are they truly ready? The Rider Nation was elated at their team’s performance in their first preseason game, a 31-24 comeback win at Edmonton which featured five sacks and four interceptions, not to mention a dramatic last-minute touchdown drive by rookie Rider quarterback Tino Sunseri. Less than a week later the Riders were home at Mosaic Stadium, on Thursday, taking on the defending CFL West Division champion Calgary Stampeders. The Riders didn’t look anywhere near as sharp as they did against the Eskimos, as they fell 24-23 to the Stamps. The outcome of the game is meaningless, so no one’s wor-

one on one battle at the plate

Warman Gems outfielder Chad Keating lets a strike get by him during the Dry Creek Penguins annual fastball tournament at Canwood Regional Park last weekend. The Gems had a 1-1 record going into the rain-plagued tournament’s playoff round, but lost 8-5 in the semi-finals to the Saskatoon Angels.

INTERNATIONAL FASTBALL GAMES

The New Zealand team is in Saskatoon taking part in an international U21 Men’s fastball tournament in Saskatoon.

Riders ready despite injuries CONTINUED FROM PAGE 20

tive was a 97-yards rushing, two touchdown performance by sophomore tailback Kory Sheets. Other than that, the club wasn’t overly sharp. Sunseri threw a 60-yard bomb to Greg Carr in the dying moments which would have set the team up to potentially win the game, but the perfectly-thrown pass went right through Carr’s hands. Que sera, sera. “Pretty blaise,” Taman continued, when asked for an overall assessment of how his team played. “We probably didn’t perform as well in a lot of areas as we would have liked. There were a lot of reasons for that but we could have played better. Luckily it didn’t cost us two points.” The Roughriders likely came out of that game with more questions than they did answers. They had hoped to sort out their field-goal kicking situation against Calgary but they did get one official attempt. Veteran Chris Milo got the job by default as rookie Brody McKnight was one of two dozen cuts on the weekend. And that’s not all. Veteran

slotback Geroy Simon was excited to make his Saskatchewan Roughrider debut Thursday night but he never caught a pass in a quarter of work and left the game with injury. Taman says it’s a “leg injury” and they’ll have to monitor it during the week and then make a decision on Simon’s availability by Saturday. A comment about Simon from a CFL scout this off-season has been ringing in my ears since. “Simon will be great for you guys as long as he stays healthy,” the scout said. “But if he gets hurt, that’s not good. You don’t recover from injuries as quick at his age.” However, it’s too early to sound the alarm bells on that. And, with a broken leg suffered by starting right offensive tackle Patrick Neufeld in training camp, sophomore Ben Heenan has been thrust into that role to start the season. Heenan welcomes the challenge, but it’s not the top unit. Either way, the Eskimos will be waiting for the Riders come Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. Ready or not, the season is here.

Credit union phone app allows mobile deposits By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Credit Union members can now make deposits using their mobile phones and tablets. Affinity Credit Union launched a cutting-edge app last week that allows its members to deposit cheques from a Smartphone, anywhere in the world. The credit union’s “Deposit Anywhere” app is the first of its kind in the province, according to Affinity Credit Union CEO Mark Lane.” We are extremely pleased that a collaborative credit union effort is leading the way in development and implementation of this exciting new app for Canadians,” said Lane, adding the app is simple, secure and convenient. Affinity members can deposit a cheque anywhere, anytime, in less than a minute, without having to visit a branch or find an automated teller machine. To use the service, credit union members need to download the Deposit Anywhere app from Apple’s App Store. Once the app has been downloaded to a device, the process is intuitive and involves a picture of the front and back of the cheque as the key part of the submission. “It’s actually very simple,” said Kelly Hood, Financial Services Manager with the Martensville branch of Affinity Credit Union. “You start up the app and you go into the ‘Deposit Anywhere’ portion. You take a picture of the front and the back of the cheque. You select the account you want to put it in, if you have multiple accounts, put in the dollar value and hit submit, and it’s done.” Hood said while the app is currently available only for Apple smartphones and other Apple devices, there is another version being developed for Android and Blackberry smartphones and tablets. “It’s free, and a lot of our members do their banking using mobile devices,” said Hood. “So it’s a logical step forward. It’s a technology we were a key stakeholder in developing, and I’m sure other organizations wil pick it up as we go along.”

Garden of Hope continues to grow By TERRY PUGH

An innovative garden project at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre’s Urban Camp is using “every available inch of space” to grow food for needy people in the Saskatoon region. Giles Saulnier, Manager of the Urban Camp, said the program, now in its fourth year, has become so successful that it is catching on in other centres across the province. “The garden is bigger than ever,” said Saulnier Kindersley • Swift Current • Warman in an interview at the Urban Camp on TuesBiggar • Maple Creek • Rosetown day, June 18. “We’ve got vegetables everywhere.

STOLEN TRUCK

RURAL BREAK-IN

On June 10 at 4:00 p.m. police received a complaint of a stolen vehicle from the rural area near Borden. An area resident reported that on June 7 his Ford F250 diesel truck was stolen from his property. The truck is a 1994 model year and is white in colour. The vehicle was seen on June 12 at a B&E in the Corman Park area. It was later recovered at the dump near Asquith. The investigation continues.

MARTENSVILLE VANDALS

On June 11 it was reported to the RCMP that unknown persons have recently committed acts of vandalism at Geransky Field in Martensville. City workers advised that the soccer nets and football goal

On June 12 at 2:30 a.m. a resident of the R.M. of Corman Park reported that he had observed an unknown subject attempting to break-in to his shop. The man had heard noises and awakened to find another man attempting to gain entry to the shop in his yard by forcing the door open. The man went outside and observed a truck driving away from the residence and obtained the licence plate number. It turned out that the truck had been stolen in Borden two days prior. Police are investigating.

ASQUITH BREAK-IN

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

27 area near Asquith. 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. Outside of the residence was an old school bus which was being used to store paint-ball equipment. 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 estimates the total value of the theft at approximately $50,000. The RCMP are investigating, and have utilized the assistance of the Forensic Identification Unit to assist in the investigation. Much of the property was later recovered at the Asquith

dump. One Asquith area man has been arrested and charged with numerous offences. More arrests are anticipated.

DELISLE SCHOOL DAMAGE

On June 14 at 6:30 a.m. RCMP received a complaint of a break and enter at the Delisle Composite High School. When a staff member attended at the school to open the doors they discovered there had been numerous acts of vandalism within the school. Tables and chairs were damaged and pellets shot through windows. A number of students have admitted involvement to school officials and the matter is being investigated. No charges have yet been laid. This incident appears to be related to graduation pranks that have been taken too far.
