Roger Kostron (foreground) lends a hand catching bids for auctioneer Frederick Bodnarus at a Heart and Stroke Foundation fundraising event held at Bethlehem Collegiate in Saskatoon on Saturday evening, May 10.

The Mother’s Day dinner and silent auction was organized by Kostron with the help of family and friends and raised over $8,400 for the foundation. Kostron told his story to the audience that after suffering a stroke in early 2008, he elected to undergo lifesaving surgery. Just over six years later, the Martensville resident says he still has his “good days and bad ones” and felt like he needed to help the foundation in return for helping him.

Hwy. 305 work continuing this summer

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Construction work on the new Highway 305 is moving into high gear this week as crews install culverts in strategic locations, according to Steve Shaheen, a spokesperson for the provincial Ministry of Highways.

“The contractor is scheduled to be working with a smaller crew this week installing several culverts, and will have a full crew on the site next week,” said Shaheen in an interview on Monday, May 12.

“That’s when you’ll see the big machines working again.”

Shaheen said there has been work done on the project over the past several months, but it hasn’t all been along the new

roadbed being laid down between Warman and Martensville.

“There has been progress done on 10th Street in Martensville, which is also part of the same project,” said Shaheen. “This is a new major traffic artery along Martensville’s eastern edge that is being built up to highway standard from Main Street to Lutheran Road.”

Shaheen said there are also a number of service roads adjacent to the new highway that are being built.

“At this point about 70 per cent of the earthwork is completed for the new highway,” he said. “So there is about 30 per cent of the grade still left to do, as well as the paving.”

Shaheen said the original completion date for the project was June, 2014, but major flooding combined with unseasonably poor weather combined to push that deadline back. He said the Ministry of Highways is hopeful the project can still be completed this year.

The $22.2 million project involves grading and paving a total of 18 kilometers for a new route for Highway 305 between Highway 11 and 12, improving the intersections on Highway 11 at the junction to the new highway, as well as upgrades to roadways in Martensville.

Once the new project is opened, the old Highway 305 road will be turned over to the RM of Corman Park.

On May 10 between midnight and 4:00 a.m. members of the RCMP conducted a Checkstop Operation on Highway 12 in the northbound lanes, north of the Highway 11 overpass. Numerous officers from the Warman and Martensville RCMP were utilized as a part of Operation Overdrive, a province wide initiative to reduce impaired driving.

Approximately 450 vehicles were checked. In the first hour of operation the Checkstop was responsible for the arrests of six impaired drivers. One other motorist was issued with a 24 hour driving licence suspension.

Charged were: a 22-year-old Martensville man, a 26-year-old Martensville man, a 22-year-old Saskatoon man, a 40-year-old Waldheim man, a 54-year-old Saskatoon woman and one other man. A Martensville woman had her licence suspended for 24 hours. All of the charged subjects were released for court dates in June.

Those people charged with impaired driving had their driver’s licences suspended for 90 days and their vehicles towed. RCMP will continue to conduct Checkstops throughout the spring and summer months in an ongoing effort to reduce the impact of impaired driving on our highways.

Operation Overdrive is an SGI sponsored initiative that utilizes off-duty officers on overtime to conduct Checkstops and patrols for impaired drivers.

On May 8 at 8:45 a.m. police received a complaint of a single vehicle roll over on a grid road near Borden. Police attended and found that the 17-year-old driver of the vehicle lost control on the loose gravel and entered the ditch and rolled. The driver and her passenger were taken to hospital as a precaution. EMS attended and assisted. Investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.

Search and Rescue teams hold Wide loads are an increasing concern during road ban season training exercise near Aberdeen

By JAMES TARRANT

By JAMES TARRANT

james@ccgazette.ca

james@ccgazette.ca

During this time of year you will probably find RM of Vanscoy Police Chief Glenn Thomson sitting in his police cruiser and keeping his eyes peeled for overweight vehicles.

It is a job Thomson has had for 13 years after he retired as a Staff Sergeant with the Saskatoon Police Service.

The RM of Vanscoy has about five roads under weight restrictions, while two roads are banned this season.

Range Road 3075 is one of the roads in the RM with a weight restriction of 10,000 lbs.

Over the years Thomson has heard all the excuses when he is forced to stop a vehicle on roads designated for reduced weight.

It is one of the reasons why the RM placed commercial sized signs on certain roads about four years ago, said Thomson.

“If they can’t see a commercial sign then maybe I should suggest sending their information to SGI for an eye examination. We can’t do much more,” said Thomson.

Thomson said fines for driving on banned and weight restricted roads can be hefty.

The amount of the fine is often determined by the tire size and the number of axles, he said.

“A three-quarter tonne 4x4 extended cab diesel pickup would range between 7,000 to 7,500 lbs.,” said Thomson. “If you hook on an empty horse trailer you are going to be overweight right there.”

Over the years Thomson said increased industrial growth have created challenges for the RM. More specifically, when super loads travel on roads weighing 280,000 lbs.,” said Thomson.

He said in most cases com-

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) and Saskatoon Search and Rescue (SSAR) teamed up to conduct a joint training exercise at the SPS range in Saskatoon and at a location east of Aberdeen, May 4.

The purpose of the training exercise was to prepare for future missing person searches.

Saskatoon Search and Rescue usually trains the first Thursday and Saturday every month. They also team up with Saskatoon Police in conjunction with Emergency Preparedness Week and Missing Persons Week.

Shelly Ballard-McKinlay, who is the SSAR communications director, said their group works with a lot of local agencies when searching or rescuing someone. She said training exercises are all about keeping everyone on the same page.

“We did some navigation, map, compass and GPS work on the range and when we moved to Aberdeen we used those same tools on a larger scale to see how we could use these tools to get to a specific location to find someone.”

JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

RM of Vanscoy Police Chief Glenn Thomson sits in his pickup police cruiser watching for overweight vehicles beside Range Road 3075 panies usually wait until road restrictions have been lifted to drive through the RM, but Thomson said you still have to be cautious.

“If a road isn’t in good shape and a super load catches the edge of the road too close and it caves in then heavy equipment will have to be brought in to get it out of there,” said Thomson.

He said the additional damage a situation like this could cause is a reason to be concerned with heavier loads traveling through the RM on a yearly basis.

Thomson said in recent years Range Road 3081 (used primarily as a heavy haul

road) had to be built wider to accommodate vehicles carrying wider loads.

He said he always finds it interesting when a road ban is announced. It is usually around the same time grain companies start calling guys for large contracts.

Thomson said alternative routes can always be worked out.

“If a truck had difficulty getting to a place we could get them to go with a reduced weight and put restrictions on how fast they could drive through.”

Thomson said most companies including farmers are quite cooperative.

Communication is key to understanding missing person cases, says expert

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Organizations across Saskatchewan converged to raise awareness for missing persons May 4-11.

Missing Persons Week was organized by the Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing Persons, which is administered through Sask Justice with representation from municipal police agencies, the RCMP, Child Find, the Alzheimer Society, and the FISN. Last year the committees staged daily themes with various agencies centered around dispelling myths around missing person.

This year the committee themes focused on exploring the reasons why a person may go missing, including; foul play,

accidents, mental health, runaways and parental abduction.

Phyllis Hallatt, president of Child Find’s Saskatoon branch has been assisting police, parents and other agencies with missing persons for 28 years.

“We always like to bring awareness to Child Find and support our programs and make sure that people do realize that people do go missing and they have been found,” said Hallatt. “We have found children after 17.5 years and unless we are asked to close the case it will always remain open.”

According to the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police website, from 1935 to 2014, 118 people have been reported missing.

Hallatt said there are many reasons why a child may go

missing.

She said most of these reasons arise in kids during their pre-teen years.

Hallatt said children today are dealing with a lot of different issues than what were present years ago. Some of these issues include substance abuse, teen pregnancy, depression, anxiety, bullying, internet luring, eating disorders and relationships.

In order to find a solution to some of these issues a couple of years ago Child Find Saskatchewan developed an Alert Youth program.

The program is geared towards helping youth deal with their issues and provide parents with a better understandCONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Warman Catholic school board weighing amalgamation options

Ross Harwood (far left) has assembled neighbours in his community for six years to clean up and watch for people who dump garbage

Residents need to take ownership over garbage dumping issue

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

If you were to drive down Township Road 362A in the RM of Corman Park you would probably see Ross Harwood in his tractor picking up garbage in ditches along the roadside.

It is a painstaking job, but it is worth it to keep his community beautiful.

For over six years Harwood has gathered together people in his neighbourhood to collect garbage mainly thrown there by garbage dumpers.

This year the group collected garbage starting on Redwood Drive, down Road 362A and ending at Valley Road.

Harwood is hoping his annual community cleanup will inspire other communities in the RM to do the same.

“I try to get as many people involved as possible, especially the kids because they learn that if you throw something away, it has to be picked up,” said Harwood. “It is also a great way for neighbours to get to know one

another.”

Over the years Harwood said he has picked up everything under the sun when it comes to garbage, from mattresses to high heel shoes, car axles and even dead animals.

“Last year we had two dead goats dumped out here,” said Harwood. “Now why anyone in their right mind would leave dead animals here I don’t know, but they think dumping them in the country is a way of getting rid of them.”

Garbage dumping in Corman Park has always been a problem with annual cleanup every spring.

Fines for dumping in Corman Park can reach as high as $2,000 for garbage dumpers.

But prosecutions are only successful if police investigators can identify information in the dumped trash, such as bills or credit receipts.

The only other way is if a dumper is caught in the act.

Harwood said most of the

garbage dumping in his area is a result of people not wanting to pay the $10 fee to bring it to the city landfill.

Other times dumpers will throw trash in his neighbourhood when the dump closes.

The big issue with garbage dumping is other people having to take responsibility for removing garbage they do not own.

Despite this inconvenience, Harwood said residents should take ownership instead of letting the RM clean it up.

“We are trying to start up a rural crime watch to get the neighbourhood more engaged,” said Harwood. “It is our neighbourhood and where police resources are scarce we have to be more engaged in watching for dumping in our area.”

Harwood said he also plans to meet with the RM of Corman Park to talk about garbage dumping on land the City of Saskatoon has designated to dump snow, which is also in his neighbourhood.

The Warman Catholic School board finalized its board members and is weighing its options over whether to amalgamate with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Board (GSCSB).

The new board includes members David Arnold, Daniel Downs, John Ftarosota, Tracey Dudar and Josie Hodgkinson, who will chair the board.

During the board’s first meeting last month it appointed Ken Loehndorf Director of Education and Guy Danton as its Chief Financial Officer.

The board also discussed the Joint-Use School P3 school project in Warman and designation of taxes to the Warman Catholic School Board, which probably won’t go into effect until January 1, 2015. Hodgkinson said she is excited to finally see everything fall into place.

“When we first started this

process we were just trying to start a Catholic school board. In the middle of this process the school was announced so it was like it was meant to be.”

Loehndorf, who is also the Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Catholic School Boards Association, said his impression from board members during the first meeting is that they are very interested in joining the GSCSB. “In this day and age it is very difficult to operate by yourself.

It is a much more complex process,” said Loehndorf. “There are a number of things that would have to happen.”

Warman Catholic School Board members will be meeting with officials from the GSCSB to discuss amalgamation during its May 20 meeting at the Legends Centre.

If everything goes as planned Loehndorf is hoping amalgamation will take place at the end

COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP DAY

of June. The move will also affect the possible design of the Joint-Use school in Warman.

Loehndorf said he has had a couple of meetings with the GSCSB which is working on the design of the Martensville Joint-Use school.

“I guess we are just going with the assumption that we wil be amalgamating with GSCSB and that the Saskatoon board will ensure that the design of the school is what people in Warman want.”

Deciding who will represent Warman at the GSCSB will also be discussed at the next meeting, said Loehndorf.

“In the last GSCSB election people in Martensville voted for a representative for them and the larger rural area,” said Loehndorf. “I am guessing that the same holds true for Warman where a local resident run for the board and be on the GSCSB if they got elected.”

Rookie firefighters show they have what it takes to do the job

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

So you think the final exams you had in high school were tough?

Try taking on a blazing inferno while under the watchful eye of a no-nonsense instructor who knows your slightest mistake could cost somebody their life.

Seventeen new volunteer firefighters with the Langham, Dalmeny, Osler, Martensville and Warman fire departments earned their first level of professional certification on Saturday, May 10 during a training exercise a short distance north of Warman.

Over the course of several hours, the new recruits in the latest class of the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA) training program put the skills they had learned over the last six months into action.

“They all passed their practical evaluation with flying colours,” said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin, the coordinator and chief instructor at the event. “It was very rewarding to see how well they all did. This is the biggest group of graduates ever to come out of this program.

When you see how far they’ve progressed since they first applied, it’s truly amazing.”

Austin said the level of cooperation between the different fire departments is a big reason why the training program, and the mutual-aid agreement that binds the departments together, is so successful. He pointed out that each fire department contributed students, instructors and equipment to the training exercise.

“Each department on its own wouldn’t have the resources to pull something like this off,” he said. “But when we do these things together, we can make it happen.”

The site of the training sce-

nario was the future intersection of Centennial Boulevard and the new Highway 305, where an old barn and house had to be removed. Austin said a total of 35 firefighters - including 17 students and 17 instructors and one head instructor, participated in the exercise. The rookies were divided into two classes, and each rookie was paired with a “buddy”, the same as firefighters operate in real-life emergencies.

The students were tested on their skills in three “evolutions” including searchand-rescue operations inside a smoke-filled building; ladder exercises on top of a roof where they were required to use a power saw to cut ventilation holes; and handling high-pressure fire hoses. The students also learned how to predict the behaviour of a fire by seeing it first-hand inside a burning classroom.

Finally, the match was lit to the barn, and students used hoses to keep the galloping inferno under control.

While there was a real danger to both students and in-

structors during the training scenario, Austin said safety was top priority. Every precaution was taken to ensure everybody was safe, he said.

“In addition to one safety guy with each two-person team, each evolution also had an overall safety officer that had the ability to stop anything anytime,” said Austin. “So we had double-redundancy. Being new firefighters, we wanted to make sure they were safe when they put their practical skills out there for us to see and evaluate.”

He said when the new recruits for each department step up to volunteer, they’re given a true taste of what to expect. “We lay it on the line,” said Austin. “They know they commit two nights a week for six months to intensive training and the rest of the time they’re studying.

“But in the end, when they pass the test, and they have the confidence and the skills to protect their community in an emergency situation, it’s all worth it. We give them the tools, and they put them to use.”

The smoke had barely cleared at the firefighting training scenario site north of Warman when the fresh crop of newly-minted firefighters were called to a real-life fire.

A grassfire near the intersection of Township Road 3061 and Lutheran Road southeast of Dalmeny was called in about 5:30 on Saturday, May 10, according to Joanne Elder of the Dalmeny Fire Department.

The Martensville, Dalmeny and Warman Fire Departments, including several new recruits who were now officially certified to

fight fires, responded to the call, confirmed Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin.

“It was a grassfire that turned into a bit of a structural fire. We sent our students because they were ready to go,” said Austin. “Once the training was done, the students were cleaning up the scene and rolling up the hoses when the call came in and they were dispatched. A crew from Martensville had just refilled our air tanks. We picked them up and transferred them to our pumper truck and headed out. It was a long day for the rookies.

But that’s why you practice like you play.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014 PG. 8

Politics often about partisan nominations

P3 Funding for Regina bypass a win-win formula

The problem with our political system is voters don’t have quite as much to say in who becomes their elected representative as they think.

The Regina bypass project, the largest Public-Private Partnership (P3) project in Saskatchewan’s history, will make an enormous difference to the safety of the residents in and around White City, as well as commuters who work in the area and travelers to Regina. The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce applauds the provincial and federal government on moving ahead with this vital P3 project.

The announcement underlines the benefits that the P3 model offers towards addressing infrastructure needs within the province. The fact the federal government, through P3 Canada, is contributing significant dollars, is a positive move for Saskatchewan.

The P3 model has great potential for Saskatchewan businesses, and the Chamber feels that they will change the landscape of the Saskatchewan construction industry, while also helping to reduce infrastructure deficits. Strategically chosen projects such as this one show that the P3 model has the potential to serve the overall public interest, support the local economy, and minimize risk.

P3s are not appropriate for every project, but they can often be good for the public and business community when used for the right projects. The SCC believes this is one such project.

The bypass is a definite win for the safety of travellers in the White City/Emerald Park area, which has in recent years seen significant expansion of its business base. Workplace safety, both on site and traveling to and from work, is of great concern. Highway projects such as this one will help ensure that more workers get home safely every night.

The Saskatchewan Chamber, along with the Saskatchewan Construction Association (SCA) and the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association (SHCA), plans to host the second annual Saskatchewan P3 Summit in Regina on September 9, 2014. The event will feature a lineup of leading P3 experts who will discuss the opportunities relating to P3 partnerships.

The federal, provincial and all surrounding municipal governments should be applauded for the successful launch of this significant project.

Steve McLellan, CEO Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Who runs for a party in a constituency boils down to the party nomination; a democratic process is often manipulated, interfered with by the party leadership or doesn’t happen at all if the riding’s party nomination isn’t contested.

It can be rather easy for a political hopeful candidate to sign up friends and associates as party members in a riding and win a nomination; especially if the riding boundaries have changed.

And it’s even easier for sitting politicians to control the riding executive to maintain their nominations, once they win a safe seat.

In turn, it forces politicians to adhere to the party line and is the biggest reason why we so seldom see a politician vote against his party or switch parties.

Yet some of the best politicians we’ve had in history have switched parties during their careers. In fact, the Saskatchewan Party was founded by eight individuals who switched parties because they believed it was in the best interests of those voters who actually put them in office.

On the heels of the announced retirement of Finance Minister and Canora-Pelly MLA Ken Krawetz came the news that Kelvington-Wadena MLA and Social Services Minister June Draude plans to pack it in when the next provincial election is called.

Along with Krawetz, Melfort’s Rod Gantefoer (who retired when the 2011 election was called) and Bob Bjornerud (who will also call it quits when the 2016 vote is held), Draude was one of four Liberals who initially formed the Saskatchewan Party.

Joined by Progressive Conservatives Ben Heppner (who has since passed on), Bill Boyd and Dan D’Autremont (who appear to be planning to run again) and Don Toth (who quietly and gracefully announced his plan not to seek re-election in Moosomin, ending what will be a 30-year career), the group made political history.

Interestingly, all survived the transition from one party to another, winning the approval of voters in what were lengthy political careers.

In the case of Draude, her career turned out to be about more than just politics. Those with disabilities who now have group homes to live in, chil-

dren in distress, welfare recipients and First Nations people can all thank Draude in some way.

She likely could have fit in with most any party and enjoyed a long political career because voters respected her as much as whichever party she represented.

But all that most politicians have to do to ensure a long political career is find a safe seat that tends to vote for one particular party. It’s all about the nomination and often doesn’t matter whether the individual has a relationship with the rest of the riding or not.

Consider those federal and provincial NDP politicians who, after losing in rural ridings, dramatically extended their careers by moving to safe urban seats. Dwain Lingenfelter did it twice, starting out in Shaunavon and eventually moving to Regina Elphinstone and Regina Victoria.

Like former NDP rural rep-

resentatives including Lorne Nystrom, Ed Tchorzewski and Ron Harper, Lingenfelter’s key to success was becoming a wellestablished name in his party’s ranks.

In Lingenfelter’s case, his 1988 nomination was shrouded in controversy over paying for memberships of Regina-Elphinstone New Democrats. And as party leader, his 2009 Regina-Victoria nomination wasn’t even contested.

It is at the nomination level where our politics can be unnecessarily nasty and where it starts to become unnecessarily partisan.

As a result, we are getting fewer people like Draude who can view the world beyond the partisanship.

The odd anomaly of our democracy is that it has evolved to the point where our party representative is usually chosen for us.

It all comes down to the local party nomination.

Disabilities in education: Why the province gets a failing grade I have asked myself over and over again if the provincial government truly knows what it is doing when it comes to dealing with disabilities in our education, health, employment and social services sectors.

Well, the latest comic relief the provincial government is trying to force feed us is its new Saskatchewan Disability Strategy.

make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada for persons with disabilities to live.

The strategy will also look at the service and support needs of children with physical, sensory, psychiatric, cognitive and intellectual disabilities.

The part that is a little confusing to me is how the strategy will concentrate on the impact rather than the diagnosis as a key factor in determining eligibility for programs, services and other opportunities.

To do this the province has hired a Citizen Consultation Team (CCT), which will listen to concerns from Saskatchewan residents in 15 public forums in 12 communities across the province.

People can also comment through online surveys, social media and written submissions. Stakeholders can also

put in their two cents through one-on-one small group meeting with senior government officials.

This all might seem well thought out, but wasn’t the SaskParty the same government that cut 350 educational assistant jobs in the first term of Brad Wall’s government?

Jobs that provide disabled kids with the one-on-one help they need.

I can only speak to the educational side of this debate because it is the only way that I can explain how the government fails kids with cognitive disabilities.

My stepson has a learning disability. He has always struggled in school and when he was tested to see if he had a learning disability it was always something different.

sionals his mother was given four different answers, which included ADD, Depression, Autism and Asperger’s.

He was first tested when he was three years old and still there is no diagnosis. Now he is 15 years old and has a Grade 3 reading level.

As frustrating as it must be having a disability, for a parent not knowing how to help her child, or a teacher frustrated because no teaching method works to help a child it soon leads to fatigue on both sides.

How can the impact of the disability be truly tested if there is no diagnosis to start from?

The result of not knowing is quite simple for the child suffering from the disability; disinterest in school along with the insecurities associated with being taken out of the a normal

classroom setting and into a modified program. A program where kids have no chance of getting into a trades or arts program. It is just as well to say to the kid; ‘you are a write-off, don’t even try.’

When I met Bob Wihlidal, the assistant deputy minister for disability programs with the Ministry of Social Services at a disability strategy forum in Saskatoon, I asked him why their wasn’t more work being done to address the transition for kids into these modified programs.

Wihlidal said it was a good question and encouraged me to join the conversation.

I didn’t waste my time.

Would it really matter for me to say anything when my opinion is solely dependent on the annual budget cut?

Currently I am booking ther-

apy sessions for my daughter who has Down syndrome.

I can only schedule her appointments in blocks of ten for speech and occupational therapy because there are waiting lists for kids to receive treatment.

My daughter also starts school in September. The therapy sessions would help prepare her for school, but when she starts school she loses speech therapy and occupation therapy, which is taken over by the school system.

Now if the government repeats history and continues its cutbacks to educational assistants isn’t this Disability Strategy just blowing smoke?

Whether or not the child’s disability is diagnosed or not, when it comes to educating kids with disabilities, the government falls short.

PLANTING HOPE Youth group tackles yard work to aid cancer victim

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Stella Peters of Warman loves nothing better than to be outside in the spring sunshine preparing her flowerbeds for another colourful display.

But after being diagnosed with a fast-spreading type of cancer in January of 2012, she found it increasingly difficult to do the tasks that she always looked forward to. Not only did the devastating disease and the resulting chemotherapy side effects force the 55-year-old woman to leave a good-paying job that she loved, the toll on her body has meant constant pain, limited mobility and a gradual loss of independence.

It didn’t help that Stella’s husband, John, is also suffering from his own health issues.

But just when she figured there would be no more flowers outside her window to brighten her life, a long-time friend and a group of energetic young people stepped in to plant some fresh hope.

A team of about a dozen people were busy with rakes, mowers, spades and hoes on Thursday evening, May 8, cleaning out the old growth and getting the soil ready for fresh plants.

The young people, members of Warman’s Bergthaler Mennnonite Church youth group led by the church’s pastor, Bish-

op Howard Peters (no relation to Stella and John), bent to their task with a will, smiling and joking as they got the yard shipshape in record time.

They also had a lot of help from Stella’s friend and neighbour, Janie Schneider and Janie’s husband Glen Schneider.

The gesture brought tears to Stella’s eyes as she watched the volunteers transform her yard in the space of a few hours.

“This is so nice,” said Stella. “I appreciate it so much. For them to come and do this is for me is wonderful because I’ll still be able to enjoy my flowers.

What a gift this is.”

Janie Schneider contacted the church earlier in the week to see if the youth group would help out, and received an immediate positive response.

“I really feel for Stella and John,” said Janie, a cancer survivor herself. “It touches my heart deeply. They’re going through a rough time, and I thought it would be nice to give the young people a chance to serve somebody in their community. They have a lot of energy and it’s nice if they can put that energy and enthusiasm toward something positive. It’s a way of paying it forward, and I think this is something we could use more of.”

Despite battling cancer, coping with the side effects of ag-

gressive chemotherapy treatments, and managing her type two diabetes condition, Stella Peters remains upbeat and optimistic.

“I actually consider myself lucky in some ways,” she said.

“I was diagnosed early. I had gone in with what they thught was a gastro-intestinal ulcer.

But someone in the lab noticed something unusual and decided to re-check the test. They did another round of testing and discovered the tumour.”

She said the last CT scan showed her condition has stabilized. “The tumours haven’t grown any,” she said. “But they haven’t decreased either. Basically I’m holding my own right now.”

She said the first round of chemotherapy was rough, but it was the second round, with its related side effects, that were even rougher.

“During the first round of chemo, I lost my hair and experienced a lot of nausea,” she said. “But that wasn’t as bad as the side effects from the second round of chemo. That’s what I’m really struggling with now.”

The type of cancer she has is known as “metastatic carcinoma”, which means it has spread from its original location to another part of the body.

She has a tumour in her right lung and only about 30 per cent

of her liver is not covered with tumours.

She said being hit with the disease was hard, because other than recurring problems

with her sinuses, she’s been healthy, active and independent her whole life.

“I think the sinuses may have been a trigger for the can-

cer,” she said. “It may be that we all have cancer in our bodies, and some of us have different triggers that cause the cancer to become active. I don’t know.”

But she’s determined to enjoy life. He son and daughter are both grown and married, and she has four grandchildren.

“I have my grandchildren that mean the world to me, and I want to see them grow up too,” she said.

Joint discussions pave the way for Martensville and Warman cooperation

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A series of informal meetings between Martensville and Warman City Councils over the past several months has resulted in stronger communication and improved relations between the two cities.

It’s also helped both cities map out a coordinated approach to bylaws, regional planning and issues that affect both communities, according to the cities’ mayors.

“Our communities are so close together and there are so many opportunities where we can cooperate, it just makes sense to work together instead of competing,” said Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence.

She added that the cities are exploring how various bylaws, such as one on the drawing board in both centres regulating smoking in outdoor public spaces, can “mirror” each other so there is consistency.

“We are talking about the smoking bylaw,” she said. “We do want to implement some of the recommendations from the Saskatchewan Lung Association, and we want whatever bylaws we pass to make sense for both communities.”

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench confirmed that approach was discussed at a recent informal joint council meeting in the Martensville council chambers on Tuesday, May 6.

“Both councils are probably

amicable to that,” said Muench in an interview. “It does make sense to promote a healthy environment, and to have the rules be consistent within both cities. In my experience, there are very few instances where people smoke at sporting events or public parks so we’re really looking at simply reinforcing what has become a social norm anyway.”

Other issues which are likely to be on the table when the two councils meet are proposals for a regional high school and a new regional RCMP detachment building.

“I defintely see us focusing on what the detachment will look like in the future,” said Spence, “and how we can create a policing model that will benefit both

Spence said the regional fire and rescue training centre being developed north of Martensville on land jointly owned by the two cities is another example of regional parternship and cooperation.

“It makes sense to look at that in the context of regional protective services in general,” she said.

Provincial housing starts on the increase

Reverend Lowell Guebert (centre), who served as Pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church from 1959 to 1981, holds the spade to turn the sod on construction of the new Early Learning and Childcare Centre while (left to right) Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, St. John’s Board member Shelley Neufeld, Reverend Randy Heide and a young member of the congregation, acting as cross-bearer, look on during a ceremony on May 10

Lutheran church turns sod for new childcare centre

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It’s the end of one era and the beginning of another for the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warman.

The sod was turned on Saturday, May 10 to mark the start of construction of a new 65-space early learning and licensed childcare centre. At the same time, the old portion of the church, which was built in 1979, is being torn down to make way for the new facility.

The “new” portion of the church, which includes the existing sanctuary where services are held, is remaining intact during the construction phase, with access provided through temporary doors.

In a community where childcare spaces are few and far between, it’s a badly-needed facility, according to Reverend Randy Heide of St. John’s Church.

“The applications for parents to register their children for these childcare spaces will be accepted starting Saturday, May 24,” said Heide. “The applications are available here at

the church on South Railway Street in Warman during the community-wide garage sale that day.”

Heide said the childcare centre, which will be built by Jaba Construction, will cost $1.6 million, and is expected to take eight months to complete.

“The contractor, Dave Anderchek of Jaba Construction, feels it can be earlier if all things go well,” said Heide.

“But we are already three months behind in our timetable due to the severe winter.”

Heide said the new facility will accommodate 50 toddler and pre-school licensed childcare spaces in its lower level, which will feature large windows and in-floor heating. The upper floor will have spaces for 15 school-age children in its before-and-after school programs, as well as offices, Sunday School classrooms and other areas which will be utilized during the evenings by various user groups from the community.

“This building wll be utilized all day long by the community,” said Heide. “The church is evolving to meet the

needs of the community as it changes. It’s a step into the future, but it’s really a step along the same path that the church started down back in 1913 when the congregation first started.”

An original pew from the orginal church was on view during the sod-turning ceremony.

Also participating in the ceremony were St. John’s Board member Shelley Neufeld, St. John’s Congregational Chairman Gord Martens, Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence and Jaba Construction owner Dave Anderchek.

Urban housing starts in the province jumped 54 per cent in April 2014 when compared with April 2013. Saskatchewan had the largest percentage increase among the provinces on a year-over-year basis. Nationally, starts were up 12.5 per cent.

“With an influx of population into Saskatchewan, the need and demand for new housing has been increasing,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “This is a significant change from last year and we are well ahead of what is happening in other provinces.”

Most of the increase is in multi dwellings, which posted a 117.5 per cent increase over last year, from 217 last year to 472 units this year. Single family units were up 5.0 per cent.

In the first four months of 2014, urban housing starts were up 19.3 per cent when compared with the same peri-

meet needs on the housing front,” Boyd said. “Housing starts contribute to our growing construction industry and the sustained growth of our economy.”

Martensville budget focuses on growth Great starter home

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Martensville homeowners will be paying a little more in property tax this year to offset the cost of new infrastructure and capital equipment.

Martensville City Council adopted its 2014 budget at a meeting on Tuesday, May 6. The budget contains a $25 increase to the municipality’s “base tax” rate, which includes a 0.4 mill rate increase from 5.2 mills to 5.6 mills.

“The increase will affect residential properties differently, resulting in the average assessed residential property increasing by $115 for the year,” according to a news release issued by the city following the passage of the budget. “The increase represents an increase in revenue of approximately 4.9 per cent for the city.”

“We’re really pleased with the result of our budget planning and approval exercise this year,” said Martensville Mayor Kent Muench in the news release. “Working closely with our administration, I think we’ve achieved a fair balance of dealing with current infrastructure and capital equipment needs, while keeping the future of our growing city in mind with every decision made.”

Martensville’s residential property tax includes several components: a Municipal Tax Base, garbage and recycling fees, special levies and mill rate.

The garbage and recycling fees remain the same as 2013, at $165 annually. (Some municipalities, including Warman, charge garbage and recycling fees as part of their municipal utility bill rather than as part of the tax bill.)

The Municipal Tax Base also remains unchanged from last year at $615.

A new levy of $75 for Future Wastewater Treatment was introduced in the 2014 budget.

However, a municipal lagoon improvement levy of $50 that was part of last year’s budget no longer applies because the lagoon expansion is now complete

TRANSITION YEAR

This year’s budget will see nearly $35 million in revenues coming into the city’s coffers from taxes, borrowing, grants, transfers from reserves, development levies, and fees and services.

Borrowing accounts for about 35 per cent of the city’s revenues, whie taxes make up roughly 17 per cent of income.

The city will spend about $10 million in operating expenses; and nearly $25 million in capital expenditures.

Roughly 39 per cent of the city’s operating expenses are

for Recreation and Culture, while “General Government” accounts for about 30 per cent of operating expenses.

This is a “transition year” for the city because of a large number of capital projects currently underway, and the civic administration’s move to the new City Hall, according to Martensville Director of Finance Lorraine Postma.

In an interview on Thursday, May 8, Postma said the budget had to rely on revenue and expense estimates for the new City Hall, the Martensville Athletic Pavilion, and other municipally-owned buildings.

The cost of recreational programming, and the anticipated revenues from patrons in those programs, is also somewhat uncertain, she said.

“There are a lot of unknowns right now,” said Postma. “But we have done a lot of research into similar facilities and programs in other communities, looked at the costs and revenue from the past several years, and are relying on educated estimates. We’ll have to see how everything shakes out in the end, but I think we’ll be very close.”

in order to remain revenueneutral.

Taxable commercial properties’ assessed value in Martensville increased from $3,408,200 in 1997 to $29,260,170 in 2014.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

The City of Martensville signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Saskatoon to develop a water supply and wastewater treatment agreement. This could mean Martensville will purchase water directly from Saskatoon, rather than through SaskWater, and have Saskatoon accept and treat Martensville’s wastewater. This budget includes a $75 levy toward this project. An application for three-way cost-sharing between the city, province and federal government is expected to be

This year, the municipal operating grant from the province went down by about $46,000, said Postma While it wasn’t a huge drop, it still makes a difference in the city’s budget planning process, she added. “The grant from the province fell from $1.641 million to $1.595 million,” she said.

“It was a disappointment.”

Postma confirmed the level of borrowing by the city has increased substantially over the past several years in order to pay for needed infrastructure as the city’s population increases.

“There is a lot of borrowing, but there is also a lot of revenue coming in from off-site levies,” she said. “The off-site levies help a lot in new development, and that’s exactly what they’re for.”

There has also been a growth in revenue from taxation, not because of increased taxes, but due to the increase in assessed value of residential and commercial property, she noted.

Over the past sixteen years, the taxable assessed value of residential property in Martensville has increased dramatically: from $54,452,200 in 1997 to $632,830,260 in 2014.

The biggest jump was in 2013, a revaluation year, when it went from $372,887,120 (2012) to $605,603,690 (2013) in a single year. Revaluation involved the Saskatchewan Asessment Managemetn Agency (SAMA) updating property values from 2007 sales to 2011 sales. To compensate, the city dropped its mill rate from 6.92 to 5.2 in 2013

Corman Park Horse Riding Association prepares for equine park grand opening

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Corman Park Horse Riders Association (CPHRA) is putting the finishing touches on an equine park they hope will be enjoyed by families, friends and horse riders alike.

The park, which is located on land adjacent to South Corman Park School, will be called the Grasswood Horse Park. It will include designated riding areas, an arena to host riding events, concessions and a series of walking trails, which CPHRA is currently working on.

On May 10 the association invited 75 to 100 volunteers to plant 2000 trees as a way of letting people know that the park will soon be open, although an official date has not been decided, said David Nahachewsky, who is one of the directors with CPHRA. As a resident of Corman Park for almost 30 years, Nah-

achewsky said this park means a lot to him.

“For me it is a safe place to ride. That is the biggest thing.

The second is that I love living in this area and it has been very good for raising kids and enjoyment, so it is a nice chance to give back to the community.”

The idea for the park originated two years ago and grew out of increasing concerns horse owners had in Corman Park had about the ability to exercise and ride their horses safely, which eventually led to the formation of the CPHRA. After making proposals to the RM of Corman Park for a designated riding area, the RM discovered that 50 acres of land south of South Corman Park School was municipal reserve land, which had been designed for a public recreation area.

As a result the CPHRA asked if they could lease the 50 acres of land from the RM, which

was granted in March 2013 when $45,000 of the municipal reserve land was provided for the development of a publicfriendly equine park.

Nahachewski said one of the association’s goals is for the park to be a multi-use facility.

“It [Grasswood Horse Park] is not just for horse people,” said Nachachewski. “It is public reserve land and we want the public to have access to it.”

The association is still working on establishing fencing on west, east and southern portions of the park, placing safety and bylaw signs up and planning for horse riding events this summer.

The park will also accommodate parking space for horse trailers for people who want to use the park from outside Saskatoon, said Nachachewski.

“This is the first year that we have had access to the land so this is just the beginning,” said Nachachewski.

The Warman Farmers Market lifted the lid on its fifth season last week, welcoming a large crowd of enthusiastic shoppers.

“Everybody has been waiting for the spring weather and is chomping at the bit to get back out to the farmers’ market,” said Pat Reid, Coordinator of the weekly outdoor market on Thursday, May 8. “We have almost a full slate of vendors.”

The market, which runs every Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Warman City Hall parking lot, features items which are home-grown, home-made and home-baked. The farmers market intends to be open weekly until the second week of October.

Reid said since it’s still early in the season, garden vegetables, the mainstay of the market, aren’t ready yet. But there were plenty of other items including hot-house tomatoes and other vegetables from Grandora Gardens, one of the new vendors at the market this year.

“Grandora Gardens will be joining us for the season,” said Reid. “Some of the vegetables you’ll be seeing in the weeks to come are tomatoes, cucumbers

and peppers. There’s also hot pepper jelly as well.”

There were also plenty of crafts, baking, homemade soap, and food. Reid said the majority of vendors are returning from last year.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner from opening day, the first fifty mothers recevied free carnations supplied by Earthly Delights, a local business in Warman.

“We encourage the community to come down and check out the wonderful vendors we have for the season,” said Reid, noting food vendors include a BC Fruit truck.

A new vendor is Mystic Acres, which produces perennial plants and rustic birdhouses.

Another new vendor is Jim Reddekopp of Warman, who makes rustic signs. “He can do any wording on them you

want,” said Reid. “Another new vendor is a lady who makes gemstone jewelry.”

Reid said the farmers market intends to have musicians providing live entertainment on several occasions over the summer. A local band known as “Ages Past” played for opening day. Lauren Thuringer, Owen Assman and Cole Assman have been playing together for about six months. They released their first CD at an event in Saskatoon on Friday, May 9.

Reid expressed thanks to the Warman City Council for allowing the market to make its home at its current location for one more year before moving to the Legends Centre parking lot next season. She said if anyone in the community is looking to volunteer with the farmers market, they can contact her at 306-931-4736.

Make your summer move easier Summer is coming and you may be getting ready to move.

Summer is the period of peak demand for moving companies, so CAM recommends that you do your research, get in-home estimates and book early to get the mover you want.

There are pitfalls to planning poorly or leaving booking until very late. You risk having to hire at the last minute and getting limited choices for reputable movers. Schedules are busy and the best movers get booked up quickly. Don’t find yourself at the mercy of a last-minute rogue business that will give you an unreliable estimate, empty promises and poor service.

The Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) gets complaints on a daily basis, such as: -- the mover is demanding twice as much money as the estimate -- there were additional charges that the mover didn’t tell me about on the estimate -- the mover damaged my goods and will not compensate me -- the mover told me they had insurance, but now I find out it does not apply to me -- unexplained and unexplainable delays -- the mover is already late and keeps promising different delivery dates -- the police say my problem with the mover is a civil matter CAM can assist consumers to avoid these problems. The most important way that CAM can assist is in helping to FIND A REPUTABLE MOVER - a mover who will provide professional moving services as agreed in the estimate, subscribes to CAM’s code of ethics, meets CAM’s business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute.

Here are ten points to help

you get a good move:

RECOMMENDED ‘DOs’

1. DO hire a reputable mover. Check with your provincial government, the Better Business Bureau and/or the Canadian Association of Movers before you contract a mover.

2. DO get three on-site estimates - IN WRITING. An inhome estimate is the most accurate estimate - and that means fewer disputes later on, during or after the move.

3. DO validate the mover’s reputation and their affiliations, particularly of any estimate that is significantly different from the others.

4. DO read Industry Canada’s Consumer Checklist for Choosing a Moving Company on CAM’s website, www.mover. net. CAM has important information on moving for consumers.

5. DO ask how your goods are protected against loss or damage and insured while in transit. You may wish to request additional cargo protection that is based on your valuation of your shipment. And always get it inwriting.

RECOMMENDED ‘DON’Ts’

1. DON’T make your decision based on the mover’s advertisement or salesman’s promises.

Glossy ads, slick websites and verbal promises won’t ensure a good move. Always get promises in writing.

2. DON’T make your decision based on the lowest price or the company waiving the tax. Low prices are often altered on moving day with additional fees and only a disreputable mover will avoid collecting tax.

3. DON’T accept any verbal agreement or over-the-phone estimate. A verbal commitment cannot be proven in a dispute.

A phone estimate is not binding and is often unreliable because the mover does not have all of

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014

the necessary information. Always get promises in writing.

4. DON’T accept the company’s references at face value.

References can be a marketing strategy so they should not be your deciding factor.

5. DON’T use a mover that has vague contact information.

If their website does not provide a street address, don’t use them. Watch out for movers who have a local phone number, but who reside in a different locationAvoid movers whose only phone line is a cell phone.

You have a responsibility to protect yourself. Find out about your rights and responsibilities. Consumer protection laws are not easily enforced, so it’s far easier to get a reputable mover than to try and get a remedy after the move.

Professional movers assist their customers to prepare for their moves, ensure their goods are protected and do the jobs as agreed. Rogue movers inflate prices, hold goods for ransom, deliver late, refuse to settle claims and fail to respond to calls and emails after the move.

Book early to avoid using a rogue mover as a last resort.

CAM is Canada’s trade association for the moving industry, representing movers from coast to coast. It certifies movers, promotes quality moving services to consumers and monitors a mover’s performance. Its mission is “to advance the interests of its members by promoting quality service.” In an effort to remove the rogues that are harming Canadian consumers and to assist consumers in finding reputable movers that won’t cheat and abuse them, CAM has declared 2014 to be The Year of the Reputable Mover.

Good consumer relations and an industry with a positive reputation are in everyone’s interest.

Maintenance is the key to having a healthy lawn this summer strengths of a taller grass, mow at 4.5 inches, leaving it 3 inches tall. Keep the mower blades sharp. Dull blades produce a ragged cut, increasing the cut surface area of the leaf and associated moisture loss. The cut surface turns an unsightly grey green. Change the mowing pattern regularly to reduce wear patterns.

Saskatchewan Perennial Society www.saskperennial.ca

I saw the first true sign that spring has arrived – dandelions in bloom!

Which means that the lawn maintenance season has just begun. Maintaining a lawn requires three essential ingredients: proper watering, mowing and fertility.

FERTILIZING THE LAWN

WATERING THE LAWN

To maintain a lush, green appearance, conventional lawns need a minimum of 2.5 cm (1 in.) of water per week in spring and fall and up to 4 cm (1.5 in.) during the heat of summer.

Whatever doesn’t fall from the sky as rainfall, you need to supply through irrigation. You can measure the amount of water as you irrigate with either a rain-gauge set on the ground or a plastic container with depth measurements marked on the side.

Avoid using sprinklers that create a fine mist or throw water high in the air (like the ones children like to run through). Much of the water from both of these will evaporate before it hits the ground.

What you want are large water droplets applied close to the ground.

Delay watering your lawn until the top several centimetres (few inches) of soil moisture from spring snow melt has dried out. During the growing season, water only when the soil surface has begun to dry out. After each watering, the soil should be moist to a depth of 20 centimetres (8 in.) or more. Ideally this will be several centimetres (a few inches) below the root zone of the lawn.

Deep root development is one of the major factors that contribute to drought tolerance regardless of grass species. Deep roots are encouraged with deep and thorough soil preparation and deep, infrequent watering.

Plants initially absorb water near the soil surface and then at progressively greater depths as water percolates down into the soil. Watering deeply but less frequently also discourages warm-season weeds and annual bluegrass, both of which thrive on frequent shallow irrigation.

If you have a large lawn, separate it into irrigation zones according to water needs. Shaded areas of lawn require less water than ones in full sun or adjacent to large masses of

with increased density, reduces weed seed germination, conserving still more water. Grass grown in the shade will especially benefit from a higher cut because the increased leaf area compensates for the lack of direct sunlight.

To capture the benefits of a mown lawn while preserving

Poor fertility leads to a thin lawn and more weeds. Fertilizer overuse, however, may lead to excessive growth, fertilizer “burn” and the leaching of nutrients leading to ground and surface water contamination.

Heavy nitrogen applications stimulate shoot growth at the expense of the root system, leaving the root system less able to supply water and dissolved nutrients to support top growth. Grass is then more vulnerable to heat- and droughtstress and accompanying wilt.

Lawn grasses grown with deep but less frequent irrigation and lower nitrogen levels are less prone to wilting.

Each mowing removes nutrients. Returning clippings to the lawn, as with a mulching mower, recycles nutrients, reducing nitrogen inputs required by as much as 1 lb/1,000 sq. ft. per year.

use a synthetic (regular or controlled release) or organic fertilizer, a general recommendation is to apply 3 – 4 lb nitrogen/1000 sq. ft. per year for a high maintenance lawn and only half that for a low maintenance. Apply a third of the annual recommendation at each of 3 applications: spring (i.e. now), mid summer and late summer/early fall. Water well (0.5 inches of irrigation) to dissolve the fertilizer so it reaches the root system and dilutes it sufficiently to avoid ‘burning’ the lawn.

To calculate the amount of fertilizer required for your lawn per year: • measure the total area in square feet, divide by 1000 • multiply by 3 or 4 (or 1 – 2 for low maintenance lawns) • divide by the percent nitrogen of the fertilizer you’re using (the first number on the fertilizer label divided by 100; e.g.

0.21, as in 21–0–0) Remember to divide by 3 to arrive at the amount to apply at any one time.

Beautify your patio with outdoor-friendly materials (NC) Have you ever wondered why some products are suitable for the outdoors while others can only be kept inside?

“Outdoor furniture and accessories are made with materials that offer more durability and weather-resistant appeal,” says Aimee Beatty, an in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “Durability doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style, however. There are many items that could look just as beautiful inside your home, but are durable enough for the outdoor elements.”

Next time you’re out shopping for your patio or garden, keep these specific materials in mind:

Synthetic Fibres

Ever think about all the abuse from the elements that outdoor pillows, seat cush-

ions and umbrellas suffer? Between the sun, the rain and everything in between, fabrics made for outdoor use are designed to withstand the elements, keeping your newly designed patio fresh for all the parties to come. Synthetic fibres used in these fabrics are designed to bead water, resist stains and maintain their colour. You can also lengthen the life span of such materials by covering them when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure.

Acrylics and Melamine

Outdoor drinkware and dinnerware made of acrylic and melamine provide much of the same great style as their glass counterparts without the breakability. A nice set of acrylic drinkware and melamine dinnerware, such as Summer Quench Tur-

quoise Goblets and Trellis Dinnerware, both from Pier 1 Imports (www.pier1.ca), will keep your outdoor soiree safe and fun throughout the evening.

Synthetic Rattan and Wicker

Wicker may be the traditional material for outdoor furniture, but this new generation of synthetic wickers and rattans is not your grandmother’s porch furniture. All-weather chairs, tables and more are woven of synthetic rattan or wicker over durable, rust-resistant frames, making them durable and easy to clean. This approach offers the flexibility to incorporate a woven look into furniture of all styles from traditional to modern and global to whimsical without sacrificing durability and longevity.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014

Create a sun-safe oasis in your own backyard (NC) From swing sets and sandboxes to barbecues and badminton nets, your family’s backyard is the place to be when the warm weather hits.

But are you taking precautions to keep you and your little ones safe from the sun while spending time outdoors?

Dermatologist, Dr. Julia Carroll, cautions that while protection is important for everyone, childhood is one of the most important times to practice sun safety as the most harmful effects from sun exposure often occur during these years.

“Using sunscreens designed specifically for the sensitive skin of babies and kids is an important first step to help protect your child’s skin,” she says.

“But don’t stop with your kids.

Lead by example, and show them how important sun protection is to your whole family.”

Dr. Carroll and the Banana Boat sunscreen brand have partnered to provide tips for how to create the perfect – and sun-safe – oasis this summer: • Scope out your lawn – Take notice of where the sun tends to spend the majority of the day, and choose another location to set up a play area for your kids. Consider planting a tree, or even some shrubs to provide additional shade for your little ones, especially if your yard gets sun throughout the day.

• Stay mobile – Invest in a large umbrella that you can move as the sun shifts throughout the day. If your children like to bounce from spot to spot – as most do – this allows you to move the shade with them no matter where they play.

• Stock up – Consider purchasing a waterproof outdoor storage bin that you can stock

with hats, clothing, water bottles and sunscreen. Not only will this save you from taking a trip indoors, but if friends stop by, you can provide sun protection for them too.

Remember that while shade will help keep your kids cool throughout the summer months, it’s important to apply sunscreen daily, and reapply

every two hours at least. Look for a sunscreen that is tear- and sting-free, like Banana Boat Baby and Kids Natural Reflect Sunscreen Lotions, which provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection for your little ones.

BECAUSE A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN 0.3 SECONDS

Saskatoon Suzuki Strings orchestra musicians rehearsing for May 22 concert in Dundurn

Young musicians taking the stage in Dundurn

Three orchestras from the Saskatoon Suzuki String Program will be offering a free concert at Dundurn Elementary School (302 3rd Ave.) on May 22, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The program will consist of classical and popular music.

After the concert, everyone attending will have an opportunity to try playing a string instrument.

Funding for the concert in Dundurn has been provided by the Saskatchewan Orchestral Association, Saskatchewan Lotteries, the Saskatchewan Arts Board, and SaskCulture, as well as through fund-raising undertaken by the students and parents of the Saskatoon Suzuki String Program.

Performances by the Suzuki orchestras are part of an outreach program which began last year, when the orchestras performed in Martensville and Warman. The purpose of these concerts is to introduce families and children to the Saskatoon Suzuki String Program which focuses on string instruments (violin, viola, cello and double bass).

Musicians in these orchestras are part of a larger Program that begins with an early childhood component for children as young as 18 months. At about three years

of age, they can progress to the group program.

Children in groups of 10 or more learn games, songs and most important, how to play with other musicians at their level. All students take individual lessons with their private teacher.

As students learn to read music, they have an opportunity to join one of the Program’s three orchestras. Our most advanced orchestra – The Saskatoon Prairie Strings – consists of high-school-aged and adult musicians.

Thursday nights are music nights for Saskatoon Suzuki Strings students. During the past school year, 94 young musicians have been meeting under one roof on Thursday evenings to participate in the group and orchestra components of the Program.

The program follows the principles of the internationally-recognized Suzuki method of music education. These principles were developed in Japan by music educator, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki.

The teachers of the Saskatoon Suzuki String Program have been applying these teaching principles for over 25 years. All teachers of the Saskatoon Program are trained and accredited by the Suzuki Association of the

Americas.

Students learn a repertoire of progressively more complex music, gain confidence in performing in solo or in groups, and achieve strong technical skills in musicianship. Many former students have pursued careers in music – as performers and teachers.

The Saskatoon Suzuki Strings Program is not only a music program – it is also a community. After talking to most of the students, you realize that they joined the program for the high-quality music instruction, but they stayed because of the friendships. Group lessons provide a social network for students that often lasts a lifetime. The young musicians agree that it takes lots of time to learn how to play an instrument, but it is easier if you have fun doing it together with your friends.

During the concert on May 22, registration information will be available on the Saskatoon Suzuki Strings Program, including the fall and winter program which begins in September, a one-week summer camp in July, and the early childhood music program. Information is also available on the Saskatoon Suzuki Program’s website – www.saskatoonsuzukistrings. ca.

Recycled Orchestra humbles Rosthern residents

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Teachers, students, and Rosthern residents were taught a lesson on how music can be used as a powerful tool to unite humanity, when Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra performed at Rosthern Junior College, May 6.

The orchestra made up of students from Cateura, Paraguay performed on instruments hand made from oil drums, cans, and other recyclable materials found in a local landfill in Cateura.

Ryan Wood, covice principal of RJC and one of the organizers responsible for bringing the group to the school, said: “In a world where we are encouraged to be consumers to buy and throw away, the orchestra is a refreshing story of finding beauty in something that has been discounted, forgotten and trashed.”

Favio Chavez (translated through RJC student Simon Marino) musical director and founder of the group, said people in Cateura used garbage to build their homes and make toys for their children.

Making music out of garbage just made sense.

“Each musical instrument has a basic principle. The guitar is a pretty simple design. It is just strings over a resonating cavity,” said Chavez. “We follow the same design plan with regular instruments. The only difference is we use garbage.”

The orchestra’s performance is part of a fundraising tour that has taken the group through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and ending in Vancouver.

The money will go

towards buying educational materials and for structural upgrades at their school in Paraguay.

The orchestra amazed the audience with renditions of popular standards including New York, New York, Imagine, My Way and the Pink Panther as well as folk and original material.

During the performance Chavez welcomed RJC students to sit in with the band, which was a unique experience for RJC Grade 11 student, Kylee Kosokowsky.

Kosokowski played violin for 11 years.

“It was a lot different playing a violin made from recycled materials because the neck of the instrument was a lot shorter than what I am used to,” she said.

“At the same time the bowing and sound was pretty much the same.”

Richard Janzen, who has been a music teacher at RJC, for 22 years, said the performance was both a powerful and moving experience.

Janzen conducted the RJC choir for two songs during the second intermission of the concert. One was a South African Freedom Song titled Sitha Bonga. The other was

titled One Voice, by Juno Award winning Winnipeg group the Wailin’ Jennys.

As amazing as it is creating melody from garbage, Janzen said people need to put it in perspective.

“When you think about how instruments came to be in the first place, someone picked up a piece of wood and started carving and it evolved.”

Janzen added that the real thrust behind this performance is more about being world conscious in terms of how we live and treat each other.

Wood said he was extremely humbled after the orchestra’s performance.

“To see how music just bridges that gap between socioeconomic divides, language divides and how it brings us together as people is a beautiful thing,” said Wood.

Chavez summed it up the best. Before he conducted the orchestra’s first song he told the audience that performing music allows people to communicate with one voice.

“We operate in a very poor community in Paraguay where their are many divisions,” said Chavez.

“There are a lot of languages and that stops us from talking. We use music to connect with people amidst all our differences.”

‘In With the Old’ show slated for Osler One of the fastest-rising bluegrass bands in Saskatchewan is set to play a concert at the Osler Community Hall on Friday, May 23.

In With the Old is made up of Jaxon Lalonde, 15, on banjo, bass, and vocals; Kasia Thorlakson, 15, on guitar, mandolin, and vocals; and Ellen Froese-Kooijenga, 18, on mandolin, vocals, and guitar.

In With The Old is a new band with an old-time sound. They play a mix of unique originals and age-old bluegrass songs with tight harmonies and a twanging banjo that will please an audience of any age.

The band achieved national recognition earlier this spring when they made the top ten in a CBC Music Searchlight contest. Out of 4,100 original songs submitted from across Canada, they made it through two rounds of voting and ended up in the top ten in our province.

The song that topped the charts was “Oh Honey Dear” written by Froese-Kooijenga. You can hear it by logging on to http://music.cbc.ca/#/ artists/In-With-The-Old .

They played at Telemiracle, several house concerts, volunteer events, farmers markets, coffee houses, opened for two bluegrass bands from the United States, and got a standing ovation when they performed two songs for the banquet at the recent Saskatchewan Country Music Awards in Nipawin.

They are one of the headline acts slated for the Ness Creek Music Festival this summer.

The band’s influences include legends like: Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Old Crow Medicine Show, Foggy Hogtown Boys, The Carter Family, The Stanley Brothers, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Leadbelly, Pokey LaFarge, The Avett Brothers and The Lumineers

City mayors talk shop at caucus meeting

Issues facing Saskatchewan cities were on the table as the mayors from Saskatchewan’s 16 cities met in Lloydminster late last week. They discussed public safety, infrastructure, regional planning, and other issues affecting the city sector. The group saw presentations from Canada Post, and the Railway Association of Canada.

They also met with Saskatchewan Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.

The biggest concern of mayors and city managers was the need for more infrastructure funding from both the province and federal governments.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to get together as a sector and discuss the issues in cities around the province,” said Mayor Malcom Eaton, Chair of the Saskatchewan City Mayors’ Caucus. “By working together we can make great gains for Saskatchewan cities and the people who live in them.”

TIP OF THE WEEK

You can dramatically reduce the risk of vehicle theft by following these tips: • always lock your vehicle and close your windows tightly.

• don’t leave an unattended vehicle running.

• don’t leave your keys in the vehicle.

• utilize an anti-theft device.

Continued from page 3

Missing persons awareness week ing of their child’s behavour, guidance on how to deal with youth problems, insight into why risky choices are made and how they lead to crisis situations.

Hallatt believes the most valuable advice from this program is improving communication between parent and child.

“Parents need to ask more questions and communicate with each other better,” said Hallatt. “It is a two-way street.

If you want your teenager to tell you where they are going then you need to do the same.

If you get in the habit of telling them they will reciprocate.”

Improved communication also involves knowing and understanding your surroundings, said Hallatt.

“How often do you take note of what is happening in your neighborhood? There are ways of teaching children how to be safe and not get in a situation they can’t get themselves out of.”

In a brochure distributed by Child Find some of these simple safety tips include telling a parent where they are going, how they will get there and when they will be back, using a buddy system, not accepting rides from strangers and rules for internet use such as not divulging personal information.

Search and rescue exercise near Aberdeen receive more calls about people who have dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Part of SSAR training involves knowing what to look for when searching for a young or elderly person, she said.

Ballard-McKinlay cited children who have autism as an example.

“Children with autism are attracted to water, so if you know the missing child has autism the first place you are going to look as opposed to a grid search is water,” said Ballard-McKinlay.

Ballard-McKinlay said there may be differences with each child, which is why it is important to talk to the parents of the child to see what attracts them.

Part of the value of a search is the ability to eliminate areas, she said.

In most cases a practice the SPS will do first before involving the SSAR when someone is reported missing is conducting a hasty search.

“It involves going through an area very quickly looking for attraction points as to where someone might be,” said Ballard-McKinlay. “Then if nothing is found but we feel the missing person is in the area we would do a more thorough

search.”

Besides searching for missing persons, Ballard-McKinlay said the group is often utilized on the emergency measures side of things.

In Borden last spring SSAR were called out to help sandbag and warn residents about flooding.

SSAR also teamed up with Saskatoon Police, the City of Saskatoon and emergency officials in Warman during table top exercise Domino last fall.

Ballard-McKinlay said SSAR organized in 2008 after a snow storm that crippled Saskatoon in 2007.

She said SSAR didn’t really start to get active until the last three years where now the group works with various agencies including the Saskatoon Police, EMO and last year working with local fire departments.

Ballard-McKinlay said SSAR is really a mixed bag or professionals and regular people who care about their community and the people in it.

“We have first aid instructors, doctors, paramedics, former police officers, and fireman,” said Ballard-McKinlay.

“Then there are people who have a keen interest in the outdoors and making sure the

word gets out there about safety.”

The real value in search and rescue exercises is keeping all players involved on the same page.

“Particularly with map, compass and GPS, they are perish-

able skills if you don’t use them, even if learning how to do searches,” said Ballard-McKinlay. “A lot of it is good practice for search managers and our team leaders to understand how to run things from a command post.”

Competition fierce at provincial high school badminton championships The birdies took a licking at the provincial high school badminton championship tournament last Saturday at Warman High School, as 64 athletes battled for five separate titles.

Haley Enns of Rosthern Junior College won a silver medal in the Girls Singles division, losing in the gold medal match to Andrea Wilyman of Regina Thom Collegiate. Kimiko Espiritu of Swift Current took the bronze medal.

Cam Jensen of Bishop Mahoney High School in Saskatoon won the gold medal in Boys Singles competition, with Hung Le Tram of Prince Albert St. Mary claiming the silver medal and Harry Hu of Saskatoon’s Walter Murray Collegiate capturing the bronze.

In the Girls Doubles category, Allison Cey and Chelsea Gruber of Wilkie won gold; Kylie McDaid and Santanna Bill of Leoville took silver; and

Warman High School (WHS) has another banner to hang from the rafters.

The WHS Senior Girls Basketball team, which advanced to the Hoopla provincial championship tournament earlier this year, was awarded a Saskathcewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) Sportsmanship Award. It is the fourth SHSAA Sportsmanship banner for the school.

It’s a tremendous honour for the athletes and coaches, according to SHSAA Assistant Executive-Director Lyle McKellar.

“This is a way of recognizing the outstanding citizenship and sense of fair play and respect that the team exhibited throughout the season and during the final round of playoffs,” said McKeller in a presentation to the team on Thursday, May 8 at the WHS gym.

“This team, and their coaches, are great ambassadors for

Morgan Farrell and Brooke Tkachyk of Foam Lake won bronze.

Boys Doubles gold mdalists were Chaitany Sohani and Paranna Sohani of Evan Hardy Collegiate in Saskatoon; Eric Thiel and Brett Keller of Regina LeBoldus won silver; and Darby Crozier and Evan Laturnus of Swift Current were bronze medal winners.

The Mixed Doubles gold medal went to Adam Keith and Kaleisha Heggestad of Frontier; Dohyn Bok and Teagon Holt of Bishop James Mahoney High School in Saskatoon were silver medal winners; and Nic Enns and Dana Palmer of Carrot River captured the bronze medal.

The provincial champiionships drew a large crowd for the day-long event, which saw six courts in use for games throughout the tournament, with three other courts used for warm-ups.

your school and your community.”

WHS Senior Girls Basketball Coach Betty Bird said she’s very proud of the team and their accomplishment.

“It’s a very proud moment for us,” said Bird after the presentation. “It’s been a long season and to have it end like this is exciting. I’m proud of the way these girls came together as a team and supported each other.

Their behaviour and attitude on and off the court was really a credit to their school.

“They’re a classy bunch, and it’s nice for them to have that recognition.”

The SHSAA Sportsmanship award was initiated in 1996 through a partnership between the SHSAA and Sask Milk, the provincial dairy farmers’ association. McKeller said the dairy farmers’ involvement reflects their commitment to healthy lifestyles. The dairy organization provided every student in WHS with a free milk as a reward for the team’s achievement.

Gems blow big lead in loss to Selects

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Gems came out of the gate strong, but weren’t able to maintain the pace during their second game of the season last week.

The Gems, whose record on the season now sits at 1 win and 1 loss, fell 14-7 to the Westside Selects in Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) action on Thursday, May 8 at Gordie Howe Park.

A two-run homer by shortstop Matt Scherr and an RBI triple by third baseman Josh Reid that drove in two more runs staked the Gems to an early 4-1 first inning lead.

Solo home runs by centrefielder Chad Keating and catcher Kendall Hanikenne gave the Gems a 6-1 lead in the second inning and it looked like the rout was on.

But the Selects roared back in the third, scoring 5 runs in a row when Gems pitcher Jordan Assellin ran into trouble. The Selects added another run in the fourth to tie things up. The Gems picked up one more run in the fifth, but after that the wheels fell of the bus.

“We didn’t play well as a team,” said Gems left fielder Mike Stefanuk after the game.

“There was minimal focus for everybody and we didn’t play well defensively, starting with myself.”

He said the small strike zone called by the umpires affected both teams equally, as did the cold, damp weather.

On the other hand, Stefanuk added, it’s good to get the painful games out of the way early in the season. So far the team has had two games and one practice and everyone’s still a little rusty.

“It’s better to make those mistakes now than when it really matters in July,” said Stefanuk, in reference to the Provincial Men’s senior C championships slated for the weekend of July 25-27 in Prince Albert. The Gems are the reigning Senior C provincial champs.

Saskatoon is hosting the provincial Senior A Men’s softball tournament July 25-27; Senior B Men’s provincial tournament July 18-20; Master Men’s provincials July 11-13; Under 21 Men’s A provincials July 11-13; and Under 21 Women’s A provincials July 11-13.

The Gems were slated to play the North Battelford Ilta Jays on Tuesday, May 13, following the Gazette press deadline. The Gems’ next game is Monday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m. when they take on the Saskatoon Browntown at Gordie Howe Park.

Three-time Western Women’s Canadian Football League (WWCFL) champions, the Saskatoon Valkyries, dominanated the visiting Manitoba Fearless 55-0 in their season opener at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon on Sunday, May 11.

The Valkyries were led by veteran running back Julie David, who scored four touchowns and had 245 all purpose yards.

Rookie running back Samantha Matheson contributed two rushing majors, while receiver Marci Kiselyk added another touchdown on a long pass and run play.

The defence held the Fearless to only six first downs.

While this was the season opener, the Valkyries had travelled to Edmonton to compete in the WWCFL Western Conference Jamboree the previous weekend where they went 4-0; defeating the Calgary Rage, Edmonton Storm, Northern Anarchy and Lethbridge Steel.

With 22 first year players on the roster, the jamboree and home-opener gave the squad valuable game experience as they strive for their fourth consecutive league championship.

The local area is well represented on the Valkyries.

Local players include defensive back Lauren Rahier from Rosthern; defensive linebacker/ offensive lineman Jaime Lammerding from Floral; linebacker Megan Bourdon, and defensive lineman Lauren Bourdon from Duck Lake; defensive linebacker Angela Schultz from Hepburn; running back Amber Buchholz from Blackstrap and receiver Kendra Symak from Martensville.

Dan Houle from Hague is the offensive coordinator and running back coach.

Great Plains College shines spotlight on grads

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A post-secondary education is a necessity in today’s economy, but it takes a tremendous amount of determination and sacrifice for students to earn their degrees and certificates, says David Keest, President and Chief Executive Officer of Great Plains College (GPC).

During his address to the annual GPC Warman Campus graduation ceremony on Thursday, May 1, Keest said the college has an enviable record when it comes to having graduates land good jobs.

“Last year in our annual survey, we found that 90 per cent of our graduates had found full-time jobs, mostly within our service region, and mostly within their chosen field,” said Keest. “This stands as a testament to the fact that a college education these days is a very good choice.”

Keeest said the programs at GPC are “occupation and employment driven.”

“There’s a clear link between theory and practice,” said Keest.

He said students choose college programs because they are seeking meaningful employment, But, he added, they are

also looking to expand their horizons and become a more wellrounded person.

“The person who walks out the door of the college with a parchment is not exactly the same person who walked in the door a year or two before, at the beginning of their studies,” said Keest. “They have more depth, breadth, maturity and a larger skill set. They’re ready to be a productive member of the community, and not only get the job, but do the job well.

That’s what post-secondary education is all about.”

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the college campus has benefited the community by providing post-secondary educational opportunities for residents of the region. The programs offered at the college are also beneficial for local businesses, she added.

Jasmine Redford, a Warman resident, gave an address on behalf of the graduating class.

She said it meant a lot to her to be able to pursue her studies in her hometown, and said the instructors and administrators not only shared their knowledge, but also went out of their way to encourage the students in their endeavours and to advocate on their behalf.

Corman Park, pasture groups call for amendments to transition program

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park and the Community Pasture Patrons Association of Saskatchewan (CPPAS) have a list of recommendations they want addressed by the provincial federal governments with regard to the Canada Community Pasture Transition Program.

The Federal Government created the Community Pasture Program in the 1930s to reclaim land that had been eroded during the prairie drought.

The pasture land proved to be beneficial for agricultural producers to promote environmental and agricultural sustainability and to provide grazing and breeding opportunities.

In 2012 the Federal Government phased out the community pasture program, which meant 900,000 hectares (61 community pastures in Saskatchewan, 23 in Manitoba and two in Alberta) would be transferred back to the provinces by 2018.

Corman Park’s community pastures are situated west of Saskatoon in Division 8.

The issue for the RM and the CPPAS is the transition process itself.

Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park Administrator, sent a letter to provincial agricultural minister Lyle Stewart and MLA Randy Weekes on February 26 outlining issues with the transition process.

NON-REVERSIONARY LAND

Some of issues include federal non-reversionary land (land owned by the federal government that will not be sold back to the province) and license to use and occupy, noxious weeds and lease formula and rental rates.

Currently patron groups need a license to occupy non re-

versionary land. The problem is patrons can be removed from the land with only 30 days notice.

Ian McCreary, CPPAS director in Bladworth, Saskatchewan, said originally the Federal Government asked for 90 days notice, which the province changed to 30 days, which he thinks is unreasonable.

“They are asking us to develop business plans to run these pastures, put money on the table and then potentially find out then in 30 days notice a significant block of land may be taken from underneath us. It’s not right,” said McCreary.

In a letter of response from Lyle Stewart to the RM of Corman Park, he said funding is available to all patron groups to help with developing legal entities, operational business plans and technical skills.

In addition the letter stated that up to 75 per cent of the costs to a maximum of $80,000 can be used for development and implementation of legal entities and operational business plans and up to 75 per cent of the costs to a maximum of $40,000 is available to acquire skills in management of environmentally sensitive land, human resources, finances and adoption of new technologies.

LEASE AND RENTAL RATES

On the lease formula and rental rates issue the provincial government did not see a need to change their grazing lease rent formula to one based on use.

Stewart stated that the rental structure and municipal tax responsibilities that are in the leases mirrors what exists in other grazing leases the ministry administers.

McCreary said currently the province of Alberta pays a lease cost but no municipal taxes and

in Manitoba they pay taxes but no lease costs. Currently Saskatchewan lessees pay taxes but no lease costs, but through the transition process there is an exception that Saskatchewan will have to pay for both.

“We are saying these pastures are not full at the full grazing costs so when you add another 50 bucks a head of the costs to the structure the costs of supply and demand are going to prevail if there is more being supplied than what is in demand,” said McCreary.

Stewart said there is flexibility for difficult to fill pastures, such as allowing allocations over 100 head of cattle per patron and bringing in cattle from non-members.

NOXIOUS WEEDS

Stewart said invasive weeds are a concern for the Ministry, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. He said in most cases pastures have very small or no documented infestations of invasive weeds and considers significant leafy spurge infestation to be a unique situation which the government is discussing.

McCreary said there are about 9000 hectares of leafy spurge in his district, which he says costs about 40 to 60 thousand dollars a year just to manage. He believes that all of the requests made to both levels of government is more than reasonable.

The problem is that the federal government has never had a plan in place to properly manage community pastures.

“They make these grandiose statements, they don’t do analysis, double check with people, or talk to people who know what it going on. There are 60 managers on the ground who were never consulted on how patrons can set up a community pasture,” said McCreary.

About Us

shopping experience, but they didn’t want to neglect their work with trees and shrubs, especially the fruit trees.

The growing protocols for woody plants are very different than for annuals. Darryl says, “We got pretty good at propagating and growing the trees and shrubs, but we didn’t have much experience with the greenhouse material.”

Dea and Darryl moved their Little Tree Nursery to Martensville 13 years ago. Today, they are very pleased to welcome Clement Farms Greenhouse to their location at 321 Centennial Drive North in Martensville.

Clement Farms has operated in the Saskatoon area for many years.

Their newest, Dea says, “…and most exciting,” retail outlet will be at the Little Tree Nursery in Martensville.

The name, Little Tree Nursery, was carefully chosen. “Little” is significant in many ways. First, little trees are easy to handle, easy to take home, easy to plant, and very reliable. Secondly, “little” is meaningful to the Fehr’s because they want to be involved with transplanting, potting, plant maintenance, and the actual sales along with their staff.

Thirdly, “little” allows for personal contact and chat time with their customers. “We never want to get so big that people can’t come and ask questions and have them answered.”

Don’t let the name fool you. Little Tree Nursery is big on quality and service.

This is why Dea and Darryl are so excited to be working with Clement Farms. They always wanted to offer their customers a more complete

For years the people at the Little Tree Nursery have been sending their customers to the city for bedding plants and perennials. Now, they are most enthusiastic about also offering their customers a wide selection of bedding plants and perennials. Darryl says, “The selection and quality will be equal to or better than anything offered in the city.” Andrea, General Manager of Clement Farms says, “It makes sense to team up with a horticultural grower who is already established and respected in the Warman/Martensville area.”

The relationship with Clement Farms also allows them to remain true to their commitment to grow locally.

The Clement Farms greenhouse complex is just South of Saskatoon.

The woody plants are propagated and grown on site at the Little Tree Nursery. “Our plants,” Darryl says, “are all low milers.” They are earth friendly because they have not been trucked for a thousand miles. They are all grown by local people who understand the challenges of the local climate. If the new introductions can’t winter outside like the rest of their plants, they are simply not grown or sold.

Over the years, The Little Tree Nursery has become an industry leader in the production of hardy grafted fruit trees. This spring, they will be offering about 30 different varieties of hardy apple and pear trees.

The apples trees are all available as standard trees or dwarf trees. The hardy dwarf apple trees are something new. These trees will never be taller than about 7 feet. You can pick every apple with both feet on the ground.

The Little Tree Nursery is unique in that all of their trees and shrubs are grown in pots. These plants are growing outside in real soil but not in the ground until, of course, they are planted in the customer’s yard. This makes them very reliable. Every root they ever had is right there in the pot.

They do not suffer transplant shock and begin vigorous growth immediately. These plants will often catch of with much larger ones in the first season.
