Aberdeen School students raise money for Saskatoon Food Bank By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
About 40 Aberdeen Composite School students converged in the parking lot for a Hockey for Hunger youth street tournament, February 17. The tournament featured teams from Grades 7 to 12. Each student paid five dollars to play 15-minute games in a makeshift outdoor rink using hay bales for boards. The event was organized by a student group called Crusaders in Action with proceeds going towards the Saskatoon Food-
Bank. The event has a dual purpose. It also served as a local charity or activity the school will use as its entry for the next We Day event in Saskatoon. Aberdeen Composite School teacher Kelli White said the Crusaders raised $200 from the tournament in its inaugural year in 2013. This year the tournament, boosted with a $100 donation from a local businessman, raised $457. White said it was a great day to spend Family Day helping people in need. “Every year as the commu-
nity becomes aware of this day and event we will get more and more donations,” said White. White said next year some female students are talking about putting teams together, so they may need a second rink. The students at Aberdeen Composite School don’t plan on stopping there. This week another school group called Girls Everywhere Matter (GEM) plan on raising $750 dollars to donate to a charity called Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan. The money donated will be used to pay a teacher’s oneyear salary in Afghanistan.

RM turns down CN request for crossing exemption By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The RM of Corman Park turned down an exemption request by Canadian National Railway Company to allow them to occupy crossings at CN Mile 194.82 (Road 3064) and 195.83 (Road 3065) in excess of five minutes to a maximum of one hour. The request was made during the February 18 council meeting, in support of ILTA Grain Inc, located in Division 4 West of Saskatoon. The company utilizes the CN rail line, located in the northern boundary of their property. At the August 13, 2012 Council meeting, Council approved
the application of ILTA Grain Inc, to subdivide 48.58 ha (120 acre) parcel for the purpose of creating separate title for an approved Agricultural Support Service. ILTA Grain plans on purchasing a lot of land in the area with the possibility of a light industrial park, said Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore. Tittemore also said ILTA has not yet addressed council with an industrial park proposal so the project is not a for sure deal. In a letter sent to Tittemore from Linda Vergata, public works officer with Western Region Engineering, it was stated in the Canadian Railway Operators Rule (CROR) rule 103 (d)
document that: “No part of a train or engine may be allowed to stand on any part of a public crossing at grade, for a longer period than five minutes, when vehicular or pedestrian traffic requires passage.” The letter also stated that this occupancy (for ILTA Grain Inc) is anticipated to be approximately twice a week. Judy Harwood, reeve of Corman Park said she had concerns about tying up any rail lines for extended periods of time. “Some of these trains are three miles long. When you are sitting there (in your vehicle) you don’t know if you are waiting there for five minutes or an
hour,” said Harwood. “I have been caught at crossings in the RM where eight cars behind me were waiting to get across.” After speaking to officials at ILTA Grain Inc Tittemore said the maximum length of time they expect residents to be held up is about 20 minutes. Tittemore was also told that if crossing Road 3065 is a problem, Road 3064 might be an option for area residents.
Winter weight restrictions coming off Winter is still with us, but winter weight season has ended on some Saskatchewan highways as of March 1. “Roads are less prone to damage from heavier loads when they are frozen in the winter, so we allow truckers and shippers to realize the cost savings that come with heavier legal weights,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “As roads begin to thaw and are most prone to damage, however, our focus turns to protecting our investment in highways.” Winter weights have been in effect since December. These began being removed at 12:01 a.m. March 1. Weight restric-
tion orders around winter weights are published online at www.saskatchewan.ca under the “New Winter Order” link. Regularly scheduled updates of the winter restriction orders will be provided every Tuesday and Friday by 12:30 p.m. until March 15 when winter weights are no longer in effect. The freeze period during winter strengthens the road and supports heavier truck loads, providing shippers an opportunity to transport heavier loads during the colder winter months. Typically, these winter weights run from mid-November through mid-March. Shippers should also be aware of upcoming spring road
bans and follow weight limits on secondary roads during this most fragile six-week thaw period. Truckers can see the latest road restriction orders and related information online at www.saskatchewan.ca or by calling the Highway Hotline across Canada at 1-888-335-7623. Technical and regulatory information is also available from Commercial Vehicle Enforcement at 1-866-933-5290, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except stat holidays. In previous years, orders have been posted at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/restrictions. Users may wish to update any bookmarks.

Stopping a quiet killer Testing kit measures level of deadly radon gas in homes By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Radon gas is odorless, tasteless and invisible. It’s also a silent killer. The radioactive gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. And according to a recent survey conducted by Health Canada in 2010 and 2011, Saskatchewan homes have the fourth-highest incidence of elevated radon gas in the country. Only New Brunswick, Manitoba, and the Yukon are at higher risk. Radon is a “very serious longterm health concern,” according to Health Canada Radiation Specialist Erica Kalcsics. “The only way to detect the presence of radon gas in your home is to test for it,” said Kalcsics in an interview on Thursday, February 20. “Elevated levels of radon gas are present in many Canadian homes, and most people are not even aware they may be at risk.” Radon is a naturally-occurring gas that is produced from the breakdown of uranium in the soil, said Kalcsics. The release of the radioactive gas outdoors and in well-ventilated areas is not a concern. It’s only when the gas is trapped in confined spaces, such as basements, where it can accumulate to high levels, and where it is breathed in over extended periods of time, that it becomes a health risk. Health Canada guidelines say the safe levels of exposure to radon gas are 200 Becquerels per cubic meter (200 Bq/ m3). Anything above that level means corrective measures should be taken. The higher the levels of radon gas, the greater the danger to people living in the home. “Recently we’ve learned more about the incidence of radon gas in residences across the country,” said Kalcsics. “In the past most of the research centred on occupational health and safety, but now the emphasis has shifted to the risk for the population as a whole. “It’s important to get this information out to people because it is a serious concern.”
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Registered Nurse Jill Hubick with the Lung Association of Saskatchewan displays a sample of the radon gas testing kit available from the Lung Association in Saskatoon. Kalscics said an average of 15.7 per cent of Saskatchewan homes tested above the acceptable guidelines for radon gas. In the Saskatoon Health Region, that average dropped to eight per cent of homes. But the incidence varies from house to house, said Kalcsics. “It all depends on location and other factors, including the construction of the home,” she said. “It’s also not restricted to older homes, although you’re more likely to find cracks in the foundation in older buildings. But even newer homes can be at risk for elevated radon levels.” New building codes specify that roughed-in venting and drainage pipes be built into the foundation to divert any radon gas through exterior walls. Older buildings, however, may require additional mitigation, depending on the levels of radon that are detected.
TESTING KITS AVAILABLE
There’s a simple way of finding out if you have elevated levels of radon gas in your home, according to the Lung Associa-
Trade
in your old phone
tion of Saskatchewan (LSA). For $50, a single-use testing kit can be purchased directly from the LSA. It’s a small device that is placed in the home, usually in the basement, for a period of three months. At the end of ninety days, the homeowner can mail the device to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) at the University of Saskatchewan, where it is analyzed and the lab results, along with an explanatory letter, are sent to the homeowner. The price of the device includes the lab analysis. “We’re very fortunate to partner with the SRC on this,” said Lung Association of Saskatchewan Health Promotion Coordinator Jill Hubick, a registered nurse. “The three-month time frame is important because it provides a more accurate reading of air quality.” Hubick said the best time to test is during the colder months, and she recommends that people begin testing as soon as possible. “During the winter, our homes are closed up more,” she said. “The windows and doors
are sealed. During the summer, we tend to have windows open and there’s more air circulation, which can lower the reading and give an inaccurate result.” Hubick said the best place to locate the radon gas test kit is in the basement where it will remain undisturbed for 90 days. If homeowners are not confident about doing their own testing, they can hire a certified radon professional to take a measurement, added Hubick. If the results show very high levels of radon, homeowners may need to take mitigation measures, such as sub-slab depressurization, increasing mechanical ventilation and installing one-way valve coverings on floor drains, foundation joints and exposed soil. The kits are available by calling the Lung Association of Saskatchewan at 1-888-566-5864 or by e-mailing info@sk.lung. ca . Additional information is available online at www.lung. ca or www.hc-sc.gc.ca .

RM wants regional talks on sewage management By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Management of sewage is becoming a hot topic between the City of Saskatoon and the RM of Corman Park. Currently sewage from Saskatoon is processed at the city’s water and sewage treatment facility. The City of Martensville recently ratified an agreement to hook into that sewage system, and also to buy water directly from the City of Saskatoon. The Saskatoon sewage treatment process involves removing the nutrients, carbon and destroying the pathogens and organic material present in the sewage. The sludge left over from this process is then pumped 12 kilometers north of the city where the sludge and waste water is separated. The water is pumped back the same distance to a treatment plant to be retreated, while the sludge is stored in lagoons and used as fertilizer for farmers who reside in Corman Park. Twice a year in the spring and the fall sewage sludge is applied to about 900 acres of farmland. The problems for the RM include how the sludge is distributed, where it is going to end up, and most importantly, the smell, which could have a huge impact on companies who want to develop close to land where the sludge is being distributed. On February 18, the RM asked City of Saskatoon officials to address the council about the sewage treatment process and how the sludge is applied to land. In the past the RM has felt in the dark about City of Saskatoon developments in Corman Park. It was a question Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen asked Joe Zimmer, operations superintendent at Saskatoon’s Water and Sewage Treatment Facility. Last month, the City of Saskatoon signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Martensville to accept sewage from Martensville into Saskatoon’s treatment plant. Zimmer said the Martensville addition would only account to a five per cent increase to the 900 acres of sludge it currently spreads. Martensville will also be paying the costs associated wtih the increase. Janzen said the RM should have been consulted. ”It does frustrate me when we are not part of the conversation on how this agreement might affect us,” said Janzen. “When things change it affects all of our taxpayers.” Janzen added that residents in Corman Park are forced to treat this sludge application process as a huge ILO because they have to save land for it. Laura Hartley, future growth manager with the City of Saskatoon felt Janzen raised a good point. “This is exactly the type of thing that we need to be talking about in a regional context,” said Hartley. “Adding Martensville right now is probably the equivalent of adding a Saskatoon neighbourhood - population wise. The facility serves a broad regional purpose.” Division 3 Councilor David Fox announced during the delegation that the RM recently passed a motion to create a bylaw regarding the increasing presence of city sludge. “The reason this issue is coming forward is because of the increasing competition for the land,” said Fox. “Sewage involves odours and the use of the land. There are many conflicts about the spreading of sludge, especially from developers who want to put up subdivisions.” Zimmer said the residential setback for house or farmyard is 90 metres, which is within the Water Security Agency guidelines. Zimmer also clarified for councillors that the sludge is injected, not spread, on farmland. He said the lagoon holds sludge for about six months and it takes about 14 days to clean out a lagoon. During the fall it takes about 21 days. Zimmer said the facility still has the capacity to accept huge volumes of sewage. The next lagoon upgrade is not projected for about 15 years, but said there is talk of expansion for an additional digester in 2018 or 2019.

Health region reports reduced deficit By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) is reporting a $400,000 deficit as of the end of January, but that’s a big improvement over last year’s numbers, according to Nilesh Kavia, VicePresident of the SHR. Kavia told the SHR Board of Directors the health region has taken a number of initiatives to find savings wherever possible. “Last year we had a $16 million deficit,” said Kavia in an interview. “This year when we did our budget planning we did have a deficit of funding compared to our forecasted expenditures. So we looked at our biggest cost driver, and our focal point was on compensation. We also had strategies related to procurement. “We had about a $3 million savings related to procurement, but the bulk of our budget strategy has been on compensation.” Kavia said the health region has adopted a strategy of “position optimization” which looks at every position that’s being recruited. “We review every position that’s being requested for posting and we make sure that we’re matching demand with supply of resources,” he said. “We’re balancing the resource requirements with patient load, or service load throughout the day.” The SHR has seen an increase in “patient days” of 3.7 per cent higher than anticipated, said Kavia. “Patient days is really 24 hours of care for a patient within an acute care setting,” he
said. “We use that to monitor what our volume pressure is. This year we had about an 8 per cent increase over last year in terms of patient days, so that is just over 18,000 days and that was higher than what we expected. It was 3.7 per cent - or about 8,700 patient days - higher than what we had planned for.” An increase in utlity costs of about $700,000 has taken a bite out of the health region’s budget, Kavia added. “These are costs related to electricity, natural gas and steam” due in part to the unseasonably cold winter. Kavia said while the health region is not obliged by provincial legislation to balance its budget, he said there is an expectation on the part of the provincial health ministry that it will do just that. “There is an expectation from the taxpayers that we will live within our means,” he said. “We’ve been trying very hard to live within those means without compromising the service and care that we provide.”
COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
Maura Davies, SHR CEO, said the health region is expandng its Community Paramedicine program. She noted the recent integration of the Watrous and District Ambulance Services with home care, long-term care, acute care and community care has made effective use of a preivously under-utilized EMS skill set, while addressing staff shortages as well. In the coming year, the Community Paramedicine program is expanding to include EMS

With more country residential development likely in the RM of Corman Park, councilors are looking to prevent potential conflicts between farmers and homeowners. Provincial legislation governing Intensive Livestock Operations (ILOs) lays out regulations for manure management and the maximum number of animals per square meter on large operations. But it’s up to rural municipalities to regulate distances between ILOs and neighbouring residential homes. And according to councilors with the RM of Corman Park, communication is key to avoiding land use conflicts. The RM of Corman Park received clarification on manure management practices and regulations for intensive livestock operations (ILO) during its February 18 council meeting. Bryan Gourlie, provincial environmental engineer with the
Ministry of Agriculture, presented council with a multifaceted breakdown of the regulations based on the Agricultural Operations Act, which was established in 1996. Gourlie said it is important to first of all understand what qualifies as an ILO. “Any livestock operation that confines animals to an area where the density exceeds one animal unit per 370 square metres, which is essentially 4,000 square feet,” said Gourlie. Typically chicken and pig barns, dairies and feedlots fall under these categories but cattle and pastures do not, explained Gourlie. He said it also has to do with what qualifies as an animal unit, which could range between one full grown cow to 200 broiler chickens. In laymen terms it equates to the ratio of 1000 lbs of animal to the amount of manure produced by those animals, said Gourlie. According to a Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture fact

Who were 17-Wing Dundurn’s settler families? Discretionary Use Notice By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Every time Saskatoon resident Jim Chrones visits land his grandfather used to hunt and farm on it always brings back great childhood memories. The location of the land once owned by Chrones grandfather was situated 12 miles south of Saskatoon in an area called Woods Trail or the Hamlet of Beaver River. Chrone said he makes a point of hunting on the land for Whitetail or Mule Deer as often as he can, but it is not because he is too busy, it is because the three quarter sections of land his grandfather once owned is now used for military exercises by 17-Wing Dundurn. The elder Jim Chrone homesteaded on the land for 30 years before the land was expropriated by the military in 1952. “I remember hunting with my Dad out there. That is what makes it nice,” said Chrones. “To go out there and try to shoot a deer in some of the same places that my grandfather hunted.” Chrones said his grandparents and father had a hobby farm and would grow what they could for a restaurant they had in Saskatoon in the 1930s. The quality of the land was one of the reasons why the land was expropriated. According to an historical document put together by Dundurn School in 1955, it stated the land to the west of the Vil-
lage was practically useless for growing crops. For several miles all that was contained on the land included numerous sand hills and stunted trees. Gordon Amwailer grew up and went to school with the children of the 12 families who lived on land absorbed by the base. “There were all farmers and had mostly mixed farms. Most of the people raised cattle for sale and grew their own vegetables,” said Amwailer. “If it rained the right way farmers could grow rye for the cattle. Their basic crop was rye for sale.” Amwailer said for the settler families, moving off their land wasn’t easy because they had no choice. “There was a lot of disappointment because all of a sudden people were told that they had to leave whether they liked it or not,” said Amwailer. “They knew it wasn’t good land and the [Federal Government] didn’t give them a good price to start with.” There are five settler graveyards scattered throughout 17-Wing Dundurn, including St.Marys, Ohio Lutheran, Whitecap, Camp Peters and Homestead, stated Canadian Forces Sergeant Wade Olson in a e-mail to the Clarks Crossing Gazette. There aren’t many oral stories about the families who lived there. Dundurn Library, Librarian Valerie Narraway has been trying to figure out who the settler

families are by collecting and putting together censuses in hopes that it will create a conversation for people who may have known some of the settler families. “I found out about the settlement areas by working at the Library,” said Narraway. “I don’t have an established family here, but I was curious about it.” Narraway has collected census dating back to 1891 and onward including 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916 and more recently 1921. It may take a few years to put the settler family names together, but her goal is to gather the settler family names and put them in a book and donate the

Rail politics continues to clog grain movement
Competing schools By JASON CLEMENS. MILAGROS PALCIOS & MARK MIKE The Fraser Institute - Troy Media Maretkplace 2014
COMMENTARY
There is no question that a great education is essential to success in the 21st century. The importance of education to a child’s future success explains the increasing interest on the part of parents, and therefore politicians, in ensuring not only a functioning but thriving education system. Supporting parents in choosing their children’s education and fostering competition between schools is vital to such efforts. Evidence continues to mount on the broad benefits of parents having educational choices for their children’s education and the competition between schools that this implies. Going back to ground-breaking work completed by then Harvard professor Caroline Hoxby in the early 1990s through to research published in 2014, the findings increasingly show that empowering parents and forcing schools to compete benefits students, the broad education system including public schools, the broader economy, and even teachers themselves. It is important to know that some significant school choice already exists on the Prairies. The percentage of students enrolled in a public school (91.7 per cent in Manitoba, 95.4 per cent in Alberta, and 97.9 per cent in Saskatchewan) lead some to think not much school choice exists. But public school enrolment figures alone do not tell the whole story. Both Alberta and Saskatchewan have fully funded separate Catholic school systems (Anglophone and Francophone), which account for 21.1 per cent of the student population in Saskatchewan and 22.9 per cent in Alberta. All three provinces also partly fund independent schools. Funding levels in Alberta and Saskatchewan range between 60 to 70 per cent of the per student cost in Alberta and 50 and 80 per cent in Saskatchewan; Manitoba provides the least compensation at just 50 per cent of the per student cost of the education. While enrolment in independent schools in Alberta, at just under five per cent of the student population, is midway between Saskatchewan (one per cent) and Manitoba (7.4 per cent), Alberta already possesses greater choice then either of those other two Prairie provinces. For example, Alberta has another innovative option that Saskatchewan and Manitoba lack: charter schools, autonomous, not-for-profit schools within the public system. They are different than public schools in that they have more flexibility in setting curriculum, and hiring and firing teachers. Parental choice in education, which necessitates competition between schools, is a central, required element of a wellfunctioning, productive education system. Thankfully many Canadian provinces, including BC offer parents choices in their children’s education. More can be done though by learning lessons from both other Canadian provinces. Jason Clemens and Milagros Palacios are co-author of Measuring Choice and Competition in Canadian Education, recently released by the Fraser Institute; Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute.
March is Fraud Protection Month Every year, millions of Canadians are targeted by fraud regardless of their age, education level, income, profession or ethnicity. March is Fraud Protection Month in Canada and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) is joining the Competition Bureau and several other organizations in raising awareness about the issue of fraud. It’s an ideal time for Canadians to find out how to recognize, prevent and report fraud should they become a victim. It’s easy to fall for a financial scam. Criminals use creative
tactics to catch potential victims at different stages of their lives. Whether you are starting your first job, moving out on your own, maintaining a home or living in retirement, be mindful of the potential scams that could target you.

What has become obvious in rural Saskatchewan’s biggest problem - today’s clogged terminal/elevator system and stagnant grain movement is that this isn’t an economic one.
MURRAY MANDRYK
Provincial Politics
Sadly, it is largely a political problem. This doesn’t mean everything has started and ended with the current federal Conservative government and its decision to do away with the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly. We still had grain transportation problems when we had the CWB monopoly … even in the days of Liberal governments. And even if we still had a Wheat Board monopolizing wheat sales in this country, there is no guarantee that - with this year’s record crop and cold temperatures - we wouldn’t be in the same mess we are in. But this doesn’t mean that the wheat board’s demise as a
(via higher basis).” Based on today’s world price of wheat, 11.2 per cent now goes to transportation, 39.5 per cent goes to the elevator companies and a measly 49.8 per cent is left for the farmers, Mercantile estimated in its newsletter. “We need to change the regulatory framework around the (railway duopoly),” said Mercantile partner Marlene Boersch. And in order to do so, Boersch and Mercantile have written to federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz suggesting the railway revenue cap should be replaced it with a minimum grain tonnage quota that the railways are expected to move each year - starting with 39-million-tonne quota for this crop year. But it’s also here where we run into more political problems in grain transportation. While the Saskatchewan Party government requested the grain companies pursue service agreements and even push for non-performance penalties under the new federal legislation, the grain companies quickly made it known they had no interest in doing this. And last week, Economy Minister Bill Boyd asked the
federal government to at least oversee level-of-service negotiations between the railways and grain companies. Ritz responded by saying his federal government was “loath to regulate.” Boersch - a former Cargill grain expert who opposes marketing boards - said this is a wrong-headed approach. “Let’s be realistic,” Boersch said. “(Government) has to do something.” What is a “splendid” situation for railway shareholders interested in maximum share prices is a disaster for farmers, the consultant said. But it’s also a disaster for an export nation like Canada that is now losing foreign grain markets to the U.S., which has more competition in both its grain-buying and rail industries and greater ease moving product down the Mississippi River. And while Premier Brad Wall has even gone as far as to advocate the same north-south movement of our grain down the Mississippi, Boersch sees a better solution in rules that simply ensure that there is grain movement by rail in this country. First, though, we need to get past the politics.
Anybody know whatever happened to El Nino? I don’t know about you but all of this frigid, bone-chilling weather this winter has actually convinced me to take out a couple of aerosol cans and spray them into the air to speed up global warming. Okay, I’m kidding. I won’t actually do that, but I hate cold, I hate winter and I loathe the phrase: “polar vortex.” It has got to be the most popula-searched words on Google this winter, making every, Tom, Dick and Harry an annoying weather expert. I am not the type of person who gets too excited about huge changes in the weather. Even though long periods of cold annoy me, I simply do what I have always done: double up on my socks, shirts, and pants; and

monopoly has eliminated the politics in grain transportation. If anything it’s added to it. While a monopoly wheat board may have caused marketing headaches for many farmers, the CWB did give farmers a seat at the table so that they could lobby for rail cars. Given that private grain companies now seem to be benefitting from bulging elevators and low prices, one might question whether they really want to see the current situation rectified quickly. Some of the most insightful observations on today’s mess have come from the well-respected Mercantile Consulting Venture that noted in its newsletter last week that the actions of the railways and grain companies are resulting in things “getting worse instead of better.” But why would things get better when today’s clogged elevators and stagnant grain shipments are so much to the advantage of both the railways and grain companies? As Mercantile noted in its newsletter last month: “If you do not pay the railroads to move additional product, then in the end, you will pay the line elevator company instead,

then dream about El Niño because in a couple of months no one will care. Even though this makes me sound like I am being a hypocrite it is not hard to be impressed by the polar vortex setting records all over North America. It has created intense debate among scientists who support global warming and naysayers who believe the global warming concept is based on politics rather than true science.

What is a Polar Vortex? According to Dan Riddle, a senior meteorologist with the U.S. Weather Service, it is a large, frigid air mass located near the Earth’s geographical poles: “It is a continually circulating pool of cold air in a counter-clockwise direction. As the air is being circulated in place, it grows colder and denser.” Riddle explains that the vortex is located around the Arctic, with two centres in Baffin Island and the other near Siberia. The bigger question is what causes it? Many theories suggest that the vortex is a result of shrinking sea ice as a result of man-made climate change while other experts believe the vortex is something that occurs naturally every 20 to 30 years.
Why don’t we just accept weather for what it is: unpredictable. Remember 20 years ago when the province went through years of drought where no one could see the light at the end of the tunnel? Today the reverse is true where there seems to be no end to flooding with spring runoff. I find it funny whenever there is a dramatic change in weather. The media panic, people search for answers and countless theories pop up. Very few of the theories are based on proven scientific research and most are just opinions from experts and scientists pushing an agenda. Want to hear my opinion about the polar vortex theory? Get over it. It will be over soon.

Bethany Bible College now part of association of theological schools Bethany College is one of five Saskatchewan theological schools that have joined forces to preserve the rich tradition of theological education in the province. Nipawin Bible College in Nipawin, Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, Horizon College in Saskatoon, Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport and Bethany College in Hepburn, formed the Saskatchewan Association of Theological Colleges (SATC) to provide a united voice in promoting the credibility of theological degrees. “We are collaborating as a group of theological colleges to preserve the rich tradition of theological education in Saskatchewan and to work and communicate with the government as they develop the policies which will oversee post-secondary education in Saskatchewan,” Wes Fehr, SATC chairman, said. Howie Wall, president of Bethany College, affirms this. “We see involvement with SATC helping us as a College to continue resourcing local churches and developing graduates who have a deep concern for people and for our communities, and who provide care and service to others,” Wall said. “Bethany has been a part of this rich heritage in Saskatchewan since 1927, and we

Charity hockey game raises funds for Legends Centre medical room By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The first aid room at the Legends Centre in Warman should soon be well-stocked with medical supplies as a result of a fundraising effort by the Warman and Osler Fire Departments and the Western Canada Montreal Canadiens Fan Club. A charity hockey game between the firefighters and the Canadiens fan club on Monday, February 17 raised a total of $3600 toward outfitting the medical room at the Legends Centre. A cheque in that amount was presented by Jim Taman, president of the fan club, to the firefighters at the Warman fire hall on Thursday, February 27. Warman Fire Department Battalion Chief Kevin Schwartz accepted the cheque on behalf of the department. The charity hockey game was the second annual fundraiser for the three organizations, explained Taman, a resident of Warman. “A year ago, Kevin and I got together and talked about how we could raise some money to purchase medical supplies for the first aid room,” said Taman. “Last year we raised $3200 and this year we made $3600.” The Western Canada Montre-
al Canadiens Fan Club is celebrating its 25th anniversary of doing charity work, said Taman, noting that over the past year the group has helped raise $260,000 for a variety of programs in communities across the province. “To be able to give back is always rewarding,” said Taman. “I’m very proud to be living in Warman and proud to be able to help out this community. “Anytime you can raise a few thousand dollars for medical supplies in the facility and in the community, it’s a good thing. You never know when it could be one of your loved ones that is going to need medical attention.” Schwartz said the Warman and Osler Fire Departments combined their personnel in order to ice a team. “We didn’t have enough players on our own, so we got Osler involved,” said Schwartz. “They play here in Warman at the Legends Centre too, so that’s why they decided to help us out.” The medical room at the multi-purpose building is likely to see a lot of use because of the number of patrons using the ice rink, gymnasiums and other facilities, according to Schwartz. While there is a medical bench in the room now, there is a pressing need for other basic equipment.

Dennis Frose, Troy Beal, Yvonne Fenner, Kelvin Ooms, Lt. Bob Fenner, Deputy Chief Russ Austin, Fire Chief Gord Thompson “We’re going to be getting a stretcher, an automated external defibrillator (AED), tensors and other supplies,” he said.
“We expect to start stocking the room in about two months. We’ll be putting up shelves and making other improvements.
It’s about 60 per cent finished now, but should be fully functional soon.” Schwartz said future charity
events will raise funds for other facilities in Warman such as the Brian King Centre.
Martensville Business Expo loads up with family-oriented entertainment By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The third annual edition of the Martensville Business Expo is going to be bigger and better than ever, according to Dillon Shewchuk, economic development officer with the City of Martensville. “We’ve added some familyoriented attractions to encourage more people to come out to the event,” said Shewchuk in an interview last week. “There are a lot of activities for kids.” The Martensville 2014 Business Expo runs May 2 and 3
at the Martensville Curling Rink. A free event that showcases over 40 local businesses, the show will have a concession on site and features children’s entertainment by Beeper the Clown. For the high-rollers in the crowd, there’s also a door prize consisting of a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Shewchuk said the business expo is designed to highlight local businesses. “It’s a great place for people to come and find out what’s in this community,” he said. “There are a lot of new residents that have moved to Mar-
tensville over the last few years, and we’ve also seen a lot of new businesses locate here as well. It’s a great way for everyone to get acquainted.” Shewchuk said there are a total of 49 booths available at the show, and 11 of them are already spoken for. “We expect the available booths to fill up fairly quickly,” he said. “Over the past three years, we’ve had a lot of businesses come back every year. They feel it’s a worthwhile showcase.” He noted there is an early bird special price for vendors
who register prior to April 11. Shewchuk acknowledged the assistance of the Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) in organizing and staffing the show. “The Access Centre helps a lot with the planning and volunteer work that goes into the show,” said Shewchuk. “They’re a very valuable resource for the
city and they offer a lot to residents in terms of educational programs, information about childcare, employment, and housing.” He said the business expo is aiming to bring even more people through the doors this year. “The key is to increase the traffic and visibility,” said Shewchuk. “That’s why we’re
adding the extra attractions to pull in more families. And of course the big grand prize is the trip to Las Vegas. We’re linking it to a ‘bingo contest’ where you fill out a bingo card based on the booths you visit, and then you enter the draw at the conclusion of the show. We’re making a draw for the trip to Las Vegas.”

RISING ABOVE INJUSTICE Area women climbing seven mountains in Colorado Rockies to raise funds to combat slavery and human trafficking
By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Sheri Kroeker of Dalmeny was shocked to learn that such a terrible thing as human slavery still exists in the world today. But now she’s determined to do all she can to help vulnerable people caught up in a global web of oppression and injustice. She and several other women from Dalmeny, Waldheim and Hepburn, including Heather Langelaar, Karen Jacobi, Pam Wiens, Denise Heppner and Karissa Cuvala, are taking part in the Wasie Foundation Freedom Climb 2014 - which involves climbing seven peaks in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The women will join others from around the world in midJuly for the four-day trek. Kroeker said she and the others in the group decided to take on this high-altitude adventure after hearing Denise Heppner of Waldheim describe her climb to the Mt. Everest Base Camp last year during the 2013 Freedom Climb. Heppner spoke to Kroeker’s church in Dalmeny last year and outlined the Freedom Climb organization and its mission to help women and children. Kroeker said she wasn’t
aware of the issue before, and was “heart-broken” to learn how prevalent it is. “I would love to help spread the word,” she said. “And this seemed like the perfect opportunity to tell others and get them involved.” The organization behind the Freedom Climb, known as Operation Mobilization (OM) is an international Christian organization that brings hope to, and transforms the lives of, women and children who are being exploited, enslaved and trafficked. The Freedom Climb’s goal is to stir compassion, action and advocacy by raising funds through an annual mountain climbing project that is symbolic of what women and children around the world go through every day. Kroeker said the women are training to get into good enough physical condition to tackle the trek, which involves hiking on trails on seven mountains. The peaks include Mt. Elbert, the highest in Colorado at 14,433 feet, and six others southwest of Denver along the Continental Divide. The scenery will be amazing, noted Kroeker, but the journey will likely test their stamina. “I do a lot of running,” explained Kroeker. “I’ve run a
few half-marathons. But as the time gets closer, we’ll be doing more exercises at altitude - probably around Banff - to get used to the alpine environment.” Kroeker said the climb does not involve dangerous cliffs or extreme mountaineering. “We’re not experienced mountaineers,” she said. “This trek is all about trail hiking, so we’ll need good mountaineering boots and hiking poles, and we’ll be carrying packs, although they won’t be that heavy. We’ll be sleeping overnight at base camps, but the temperature, even in summer, can get pretty cold.” Each participant in the climb must raise an initial sum of $3,000 to take part. “But we’re not limiting it to that,” said Kroeker. “We want to raise as much as we can. If I can raise $10,000, I’d like to. We’re holding fundraisers over the next few months, including having a ‘mini-climb’ in May.” The group staged a fundraising evening last weekend in Dalmeny at which they raised over $10,000. Kroeker said the Freedom Climb organization allows participants to stipulate the agencies they want their funds to go towards. Kroeker said as awareness

of the issue increases, there is greater support for the movement, particularly among area churches. “It’s definitely growing,” she said. “It’s a worthwhile cause, and it helps bring people together in a way that challenges us all.”

Laughs a-plenty for Scared Scriptless cast as rehearsals get serious the Internal Revenue Service. When his granddaughter falls in love with a guy who comes from a rich, stuffy, privileged family, things get interesting.

Time flies when you’re having fun. And with just a little under three weeks till opening night, the Scared Scriptless Players are having a gas during rehearsals at the Brian King Centre in Warman. The cast and crew of “You can’t take it with you,” the timeless classic comedy by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, are working on getting their timing just right for the snappy one-liners that punctuate the play and have made it so popular for generations. Directed by Carol Affleck of Warman, a veteran actor and mainstay with Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre, the play features the largest cast for any production Scared Scriptless Players (formerly known as the Warman Drama Club) has ever staged. It’s a challenge, but there’s a real chemistry between everyone in the group. “Rehearsals are going along wonderfully,” said Jamie MacRae, President of the club and one of the cast members in this year’s production. “The cast is having a great time. There’s a lot of laughs, but we’re serious about perfecting every scene.” MacRae said the rehearsals are entering the final stage, where the director is putting

Carol Shipowich of Radisson has fond memories of playing outdoors in her hometown of Winnipeg, even in the dead of winter. “It was always really cold there too,” said Shipowich in an interview last week. “But we always played outside in all kinds of weather. Our kids did too. But I think the next generation is missing out on that experience to a big extent.” So in an effort to encourage her grandchildren to take a break from their electronic toys and go outside, Shipowich decided to lead by example, building a multi-coloured igloo that stands over 6 feet high and is 12 feet in circumference. Built using frozen balloons filled with water mixed with food colouring, the blocks of coloured ice were piled layer by layer and mortared with snow. She and her husband Wayne completed the igloo last week, and she said it’s been several months in the making. “I started a couple of weeks before Christmas,” said Ship-

Martensville hosts provincial curling championships By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Martensville High School (MHS) was the proud host of the 2014 High School Mixed Provincials February 28 and March 1. The spiel was held at the Martensville Curling Club. The draw was split into two pools, which featured mixed high school teams from Swift Current, Strasbourg, Yorkton Regional and Martensville in Pool A. Pool B included teams from Kelliher, Meadow Lake, Cabri and Debden. Kelliher won the championship, while Debden placed second. Strasbourg defeated Yorkton Regional to win the bronze medal. MHS’s team included lead Bethany Flegal, second Benno Unger, third Laquisha Hackl, skip Reider Fee and alternates Matthew Stene and Sydney Hamelin. Each team played three games to qualify for the championship round. Martensville lost 9-1 to Strasbourg, were shut out 7-0 to Yorkton Regional and 9-4 to Swift Current. Despite not qualifying for
the championship round, MHS coach Megan Shaw said playing in the provincials was a great experience for her team. “They started off a little nervous but once their nerves settled down they played quite well, especially considering some of them have only been curling for two or three years. To be curling at this level is intimidating,” said Shaw. The mixed provincials event is a lot smaller than it used to be in previous years. A couple of years ago the tournament included 16 teams and was held over four days. This year a tiebreaking procedure was added for teams that were tied with identical records after pool play. Shaw said the City of Martensville and the Martensville Curling Club did a wonderful job hosting the event. “We are well set up here,” she said. “The club has hosted lots of events here so they know the routine. It is really nice to have their expertise and on-ice officials.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Martensville High School Mixed curling team members Benno Unger and Sydney Hamelin sweep during a game against Strasbourg at the Martensville Curling Club on Friday, February 28
Vipers prepare for Broncos in next round By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Sask Valley Vipers played a more defensive game to sweep the Saskatoon Stallions 2-1 in game two of the best of three Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League opening playoff action, February 25. After a crazy opening game February 22 that took a triple overtime period to seal a victory, Vipers head coach Shaun Priel said he is hoping his team’s aggressive offensive style returns in their second round series against the Humboldt Broncos this week. “It was almost as though the kids wore themselves out during that double game on Saturday night,” said Priel. “I thought we spent the first and second periods on our heels,”
The Stallions’ Jake Leschyshyn opened up the scoring deep in the first period. The Vipers’ Jared Hamm knotted up the score in the second period, but Benson Thorpe’s go ahead goal just below the halfway mark in the third gave the Vipers the win. Priel said he learned a lot as a coach from the Stallion series. “I was pretty happy with what the kids did. We had our opportunities to get the puck in deep. Sometimes there are too many guys thinking they have to stay high as opposed to getting a good attack with two forwards,” said Priel. As much of a challenge as it was containing the Stallions’ Leschyshyn, the Vipers will have their work cut out for them defending against Humboldt’s Erik Gardiner.
Gardiner was a pivotal piece of the puzzle that helped Humboldt defeat the Saskatoon Outlaws, said Priel. “We will have to identify him on the ice and shut him down,” said Priel. “He is big at six feet tall, is a great skater and shoots the puck well.” During the regular season the Vipers top line of Jared Hamm, Chance Adrian and Jordan Thorpe got the job done, but the team’s second line of Matthew Conlon, Tylin Cameron and Jax Gipman made a significant contribution, including Cameron’s four goal night on Saturday. “I was really happy with how Cameron played. He came to play and was probably our best forward out there. He had multiple chances, put three away and scored the winner.”

Priel said his team’s depth will make it challenging for Humboldt. “Jared Hamm, Chance Adrian and Jordan Thorpe are looked on at being our top guys and I am okay with that because that means opposing teams are going to match their top guys against them. That means it opens up space for our second first line to go out and put pucks in the net.” During the regular season the Vipers tied the Broncos in their barn and defeated them at home 6-3. The Broncos finished fourth in the SBAAHL’s North Division with 14 wins, 11 losses and two ties. The Vipers are hoping to wrap up their best of three series with Humboldt this weekend.

The Warman Wildcats advanced to the second round of Pee Wee ‘A’ provincial playoffs on Sunday, March 2 with a convincing 5-2 win over the visiting Martensville Marauders. It was the second game of a two-game, total-points series. Warman won the first game in Martensville on February 23 by a score of 8-1. With the win, the Wildcats now move on to play the Battlefords in the provincial semi-final series. The first game series is set for North Battleford next weekend, with the return game back in Warman likely the following weekend. The series is slated to be complete by March 17, with the winner moving on to the provincial championship. The Wildcats won the provincial title in 2012-13, but this year’s edition of the team only includes two players from last year’s gold-medal squad, said Wldcats head coach Kevin Martens. “Logan Campbell and Griffyn Martens are the only two that are back from last year,” said Martens after the game against Martensville last Sunday. “But we have a fantastic group of kids on this team, that includes both second year and first year players. I think if we play to our potential, we should be able to do well.” The Wildcats came out strong after the opening face-off, scoring two quick goals before the game was three minutes old. But the Marauders kept things close. The Wildcats held a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes and a 3-2 lead after two periods. The third period belonged to the home team, though, as the Wildcats capitalized on their chances and added three unanswered goals. Warman goaltender Andrew Konanz was solid between the pipes.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2014
Bruins ready to face Redwings By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Delisle Bruins will be playing against a familiar foe in the second round of the Sask Valley Hockey League playoffs. The Bruins defeated the Central Butte Flyers in two games shutting them out 4-0 February 25 in Delisle and edging them 5-4 March 2 on the road. Dakota Wruck led scoring for the Bruins in game one followed by forwards Brett Casey and Blake Rolson who scored single markers. In game two the Bruins received balanced scoring with five different players scoring goals including Brennan Boyle, Brett Casey, Dan Hounjet, Justin Kerr and Chad Laing. After a early second round exit from the provincials where
the Bruins lost to Wilkie, Bruins team captain Jeff Durham said it was nice to be playing Bruins style hockey again. “We had to get back to playing the way we are used to playing,” said Durham. “We can’t take night off like we did against Wilkie. We have to come out with a better effort.” The second game of the two game total point series in Central Butte was an interesting one. When the referee didn’t show up for the game both teams had to share refereeing duties. “We were a little late getting started and a little bit unorganized because we were frustrated with what was going on with the refereeing situation,” said Durham. “We got up two nothing in the first period, they tied it up
3-3 at the end of the second. In the third they went they went ahead by 4-3, but we came back and scored two goals in the last seven minutes of the third for the win,” said Durham. The Bruins will face the Rosetown Redwings this week in a best of five second round series. The Redwings swept the Bruins in three closely fought playoff games in 2012/13.

OK Corral COWPOKES round up BIG bucks for KINSMEN TELEMIRACLE Pat Fafard (left to right) Dale Dionne and Ray Kneeland and other volunteers at the OK Corral north west of Warman donated a cheque for $38,837.80 to Kinsmen Telemiracle 38 in Regina last weekend. Beverley Mahood accepted the cheque on stage. The funds were raised over the course of the past year and included a variety of activities ranging from an outdoor shinny tournament in the corral in late February to high school rodeos last summer and fall. Kneeland has been raising funds for the annual Telemiracle telethon for the past two decades. He and others presented the cheque on stage in Regina on Sunday, March 2. Ivan Cummer and Karen Scherr each won $1,000 gift cards in the OK Corral raffle.

Land use conflicts in RM erator is required to have plans for storing and managing livestock wastes in a manner which protects water.
WASTE STORAGE PLANS
According to the act, it requires livestock operators to have plans approved by Saskatchewan Agriculture for storing manure and managing nutrients and mortalities (dead animals) so water resources are not affected. For solid waste management the plan must investigate local soil and groundwater conditions and must include a topographical survey of the site. Gourlie said spring runoff is a big issue if solid water management is not done properly. “A couple of suggestions would be to confine around the solid waste area with dykes or construct a holding pond that would catch the runoff and prevent waste from going into the water,” said Gourlie. In the case of liquid manure, clay or synthetic liners to contain the waste may be used. Other options include tile drainage/collection systems or tanks. A popular choice among operators is a method called Earthen Manure Storage (EMS). In both solid and liquid storage methods, operators may have to hire an engineer to determine appropriate site conditions such as where the ground water is located and the condition of the soil, said Gourlie. There are requirements under the legislation where farmers must manage dead stock. Gourlie suggests burial, giving the animal away to a ren-
19
dering company for processing, and composting the animal are popular options. He said in rare cases incineration of the animal has been used. Nutrient management plans involve making sure there is sufficient land area available to receive all the manure that is produced. The act requires operators to test their soil and customize plans to ensure needs are met for all nutrients. Gourlie said in most cases 90 per cent of producers use manure as fertilizer, although the Ministry of Agriculture recommends operators have plans for applying manure at rates that meet crop demands.
APPLICATION PROCESS
In cases where liquid waste is stored in an earthen manure storage, if the size of the operation if more than 300 animal units or if a size of an operation is between 20 and 300 animal units and within 300 of a watercourse it is required that those operators should contact a Saskatchewan Agriculture Regional Specialist. Operators are advised to get approval of plans through a public consultation process where they can discuss plans with their neighbours, rural municipalities and developers. An operator’s application for approval must include approval of waste storage, nutrient and mortalities (dead animals), management plans, information about the operation, management practices and geophysical information necessary to support the plans. Supporting documents may include the designation of land
In January the Eagles sports teams started to heat up in spite of the frigid temperatures. All of our teams have achieved at least .500 record. We have lots to celebrate as we support our teams. Several athletes have really stepped it up this past month. First year soccer player Rachel Reimer has been named the women’s Athlete of the Month. Reimer switched from playing primarily defence to a midfield position. She has gradually adapted to this new position and is starting to understand her role there. Before playing for the Eagles she had never scored a goal. But at our annual Alumni Tournament this scoreless streak ended. She scored
her first goal on the Friday of the tournament and she finished the weekend with three goals. The excitement she displays when scoring is second to none and you can’t help but join her in celebration. On the Men’s side this hockey play has started to reach the potential we all hoped for when we first saw him hit the ice. After a frustrating first half of the season with back pain, Jason Klassen has had a solid month in January. He leads the team in scoring with seven goals. His hard work skill has earned him January’s Athlete of the Month.

for manure application with cropping plans and existing reports including drillers, superficial, subsurface geological and topographical reports. Other agencies that have regulatory responsibility for livestock operations besides the Ministry of Agriculture include the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority and Rural Municipalities throughout Saskatchewan.
COMMUNICATION
One of the drawbacks with the legislation is that it doesn’t regulate the proximity to other land uses. Separation of livestock developments from neighbouring land uses is the responsibility of the Rural Municipality. Gourlie said when it comes to smaller livestock operations this is where the RM could play a lead role. “In cases where a smaller operator don’t fall under legislation the RM may want to consider how they want to work with those particular operators.” Division 1 Councillor John Germs agreed with Gourlie’s suggestion. “We need to have coexistence agreements not only for the operators but for the lands the manure is being spread on,” said Germs. Gourlie said the ministry doesn’t often hear many complains about manure spreading but he does believe there are many ways to manage separation. “If you are going to have residential development in a rural area with agriculture it works best if people work hard to get along and accommodate each other and be respectful,” said Gourlie.
