Osler firefighters pour a mixture of water and foam on a burning vehicle on Highway 12 on Monday, May 19
Vehicle fire under investigation Osler firefighters and Warman RCMP responded to a vehicle fire on Highway 12 as the long weekend drew to a close. No one was injured in the blaze, which destroyed a Chrysler PT Cruiser. The incident happened about 8:15 Monday evening, May 19, near the intersection of the road to Mennon. A resident of Waldheim explained that he was returning home when he noticed the vehicle parked on the northbound shoulder of the highway with its four-way flashers on and smoke pouring out of the windows. He said there did not appear to be anyone
in the vehicle. “Suddenly, it just burst into flame,” he said. “That’s when we called 911.” Osler firefighters responded in a matter of minutes and had the fire under control by 8:45 p.m. Firefighters poured a mixture of water and foam on the burning car. They broke the windows and determined that there was no one inside the vehicle. Long weekend traffic on the busy provincial highway was slowed as RCMP officers set up a perimeter around the scene. The incident is currently under investigation by the RCMP.
Flooding unlikely for Borden, Radisson areas By CHARLENE TEBBUTT ctebbutt@yahoo.com
A slower snow melt and cooler temperatures helped keep fears of more flooding in the Borden and Radisson areas away this spring, according to local officials. Municipal representatives were better prepared for high waters this spring following severe flooding in the area in 2013. Both the Town of Radisson and the Village of Borden declared states of emergency late in April 2013 due to the heavy flooding. This year, it’s a different story. “It was a much different year this year,” said Dave Buckingham, mayor for the Village of Borden. “We have no issues this year … we’re in really good shape this year.” Barry Hvidston, administrator for both the Village of Borden and the Rural Municipality of Great Bend, said a slower snow melt and less run-
off helped keep fears of flooding at bay. “There wasn’t the snow that there was last year (and) we made it through the Spring pretty good,” Hvidston said. Last year’s flooding was unexpected, Buckingham said, but the community is more prepared if high waters become a threat to the area again. Culverts have been expanded throughout the community and local officials are working with highways representatives and the CN Railway to find more permanent solutions. “Our biggest concern is if it (high water) ever goes over the railroad track,” Buckingham said. “We needed to find more of a permanent solution.” Work has also been done in Radisson to better prepare the community should the area see high flood waters
again, said Darrin Beaudoin, town administrator. The town is working on a new drainage ditch on the west and south sides of the town, which were most affected by the high flood waters. The drainage ditch should be complete by the fall. More culverts have also been added, he said. “Last year, even with everything we’ve done in the past, it was unbelievable,” Beaudoin said. “We’re much more prepared now. We know what to do.” The cost of infrastructure upgrades, sandbags and pumps cost the Village of Borden more than $1 million last year, Buckingham said. The high waters also caused flooding in a few homes in the community, he said. Last year’s flooding cost the Town of Radisson about $150,000 in damages, Beaudoin said.

Two people dead in Hwy. 16 crash Two men were killed in a twovehicle collision around noon on Thursday, May 15 at the intersection of Highway 16 and Marquis Drive on the northwestern edge of Saskatoon. The identities of the 22-year-old male and the 24-year-old male who were pronounced dead at the scene are not being released, according to the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS). Next of kin of the deceased men have been notified. SPS and MD Ambulance paramedics responded to the collision. A 20-year-old male and a 28-year-
old male were transported to hospital in serious condition with non-life threatening injuries. An 87-year-old female was also taken to hospital with minor injuries. According to Saskatoon Police, a vehicle travelling eastbound on Highway 16 struck a vehicle that had entered the intersection traveling southbound on Marquis Drive. A police investigation into the fatal crash caused eastbound traffic to be detoured along 71st Street to Idylwyld Drive. A collision Analyst Unit was on the scene for several hours.
Saskatoon police lay hundreds of charges during traffic campaign The Saskatoon Police Service has concluded the first week of the 2014 Spring “Street Sweep” operation.

Public consultations begin on proposed natural gas pipeline By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
SaskEnergy/TransGas held an open house at Vanscoy’s Circle Hall on May 13 to discuss and answer questions about the construction of a proposed 50 to 60 km pipeline through the area. According to the utility, the proposed pipeline will meet growing residential, industrial and commercial natural gas needs in the Saskatoon regions and surrounding areas. The proposed route would begin at an existing TransGas pipeline near Vanscoy and run east toward Patience Lake where it will connect with another existing pipeline. During the open house, residents had the opportunity to provide comments and feedback to assist with route finalization. Attendees also had the opportunity to ask questions about construction techniques, environmental protection, pipeline safety and other concerns. Jerome Robert, mayor of Vanscoy, said land owners will be affected but the lines will be buried. Land owners will still be able to crop and compensation will be available if the pipeline crosses their property. He said right now the project is only a proposal and route finalization will depend on the

Over 40 people, including Tim Friesen of Hague Gospel Church (pictured), came out to help get Camp Kadesh at the north end of Christopher Lake ready for the spring and summer season. The camp was hit very hard in early November with heavy wet snow followed by a couple serious windstorms that did a great deal of damage to trees in the area. The camp was buzzing with chainsaws as members from Hague Gospel Church, Warman Gospel Church, Dalmeny Bible Church, Langham Evangelical Bible Church, Salem Church in Waldheim, Martensville Mission Church and Sutherland Evangelical Church worked to clean up the fallen trees.
Man found with stab wounds at Saskatoon area acreage Saskatoon Police responded on Sunday, May 18 to a report of a male being stabbed at an acreage within city limits near Highway 5 and Llewellyn Road. Upon arrival, it was determined the victim, a 25-year-old male, had been dropped off by the suspects and made his way to a nearby residence
where police and an ambulance were called. The two suspects are known to the victim, and had picked him up earlier in the evening. He was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.

future twinning of Highway 7. The final decision on the route could take a few years, said Tyler Danielson, director of pipeline engineering with TransGas. Danielson said the engineering part of constructing a pipeline is a very small part of the process. He said it begins with deciding on a corridor or route, public consultations, survey easements, getting landowners to consent and sign easements and deciding on compensation for the landowner if the pipeline crosses their land. Danielson said there are also several approvals including government, environmental, heritage, water body approvals and a series of engineering design work that needs to be done. All of this information is then submitted to the Ministry of the Economy for a final approval. Danielson, who has attended many open houses over the years, said some of the common questions include land and pipeline routing, compensation, methods of installation, the size and type of pipe and the impacts to the land during construction and how TransGas maintains pipelines. Roger Aldag, the land manager for SaskEnergy/Transgas, said landowners will receive market value.
“I can’t say what that market value is going to be because it has to be individually appraised,” said Aldag. “We pay for crop losses which is usually paid before construction, which compensates for any crop losses that happens during construction and easement compensation.” Daniel Dietrich, who is the environmental advisor on the project, said the environmental process could take 12 to 18 months from the field to developing permits. Once a route is confirmed, he added, there is a detailed number of field surveys that look at soils, vegetation, wildlife, weeds, topography and water sources. Danielson said with all approvals going forward and weather pending the construction of the actual pipeline itself could be complete in three to four months. He said feedback from the consultations will look at whether there are areas of concern, compare that with the need for the pipeline and the need to move into further steps for further defining the route. Robert said at this point in the proposal landowners have been quiet. “I haven’t heard too much at all. I am not saying that land owners are not talking, but I don’t think people have had enough time to think about it,’ said Robert.
Social media becoming a useful tool for rural emergency services By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
As internet access improves in rural parts of the province, emergency services are using social media to inform the public and seek assistance from Saskatchewan residents about public safety issues. Fire departments in Dalmeny and Delisle have recently created Twitter accounts, which have become more popular than Facebook for getting the message out. Fire Chief Rick Elder said Twitter is a fairly new informative tool his department is using. He said the department currently has 41 followers since creating the account 30 days ago. Elder added it is slow moving, but the end result is getting people to follow them. “If there is a severe weather watch we would retweet that,” he said. “If we are doing a missing persons search in
the Dalmeny area, given permission from the authority that has jurisdiction we would release information to help resolve the situation.” Twitter played a vital role in helping the Saskatoon Search and Rescue (SSAR) find Austin Carter, a 15-yearold autistic boy on May 9, said Shelly Ballard -McKinlay, SSAR Director of Communications. Ballard-McKinlay said SSAR posted a few updates on their Facebook and Twitter sites. Those messages were then retweeted on the Saskatoon Police Service twitter account monitored by SPS Sgt Pat Barbar. Between SSAR and SPS information about the missing boy was seen by thousands. “We got the word out there to literally thousands of people who may not have otherwise been listening to or checking traditional news feeds,” said Ballard-McKinlay. “As a result of the information getting out there so quick-

ly, two people called in to police with a reliable sighting of Austin and he was located safely.” Glenn Thomson, RM of Vanscoy chief of police, who is a retired SPS Sargent, worked in media relations with the SPS for five years leading up to his retirement in 2001. Thomson has used Twitter in the past year to tweet information about storms, fire bans, flooding, SGI information, and road ban notices to trucking companies. Elder said he doesn’t know if the Dalmeny Police Department will ever use its own notification system similar to what the City of Saskatoon has recently devised. Elder said he plans on evaluating the benefit of social media for the department over time. “If it is working and doing what we want it to do then it is a win, win, for everyone,” said Elder.

South Corman Park Community aSSoCiation
Aberdeen set to hold public hearings for new community plan By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Town of Aberdeen unveiled its official community plan last week, which will include new zoning additions that are a first for the community, said Town of Aberdeen Administrator, Susan Thompson. “We are introducing the idea of secondary/garden garage suites. It is going to allow properties to have a basement suite to rent out.” Thompson said garden suites will allow another building besides the principle building on the same property. She said there will be regulations as to how many bedrooms it can have and how many people can live there. Other changes include R4 zoning lots which have been changed to R3. The original R4 lots were 25 by 60 feet,
which have been changed to 29 by 60 feet long. Developers now need a permit to put up a fence and there will be a new highway corridor for commercial, which will be attached to the Town of Aberdeen access road coming in. The biggest challenge in the plan was residential lots which lay close to the edge of the lagoon buffer. Thompson said the town has never had a complaint from new homeowners buying a lot that is relatively close to the town’s lagoon. The new plan also allows for low density, medium density, small lot and mobile home residential as well as community service, downtown commercial, highway commercial, industrial, parks and recreation and future urban development zoning districts. Thompson said the town

does have plans to move the lagoon north of town, which depends on if they are awarded grant money from the New Building Canada or Small Communities Fund. Back in 2008 the Town allowed University of Saskatchewan Students to do a survey to see what residents would like to see in their town. Thompson said residents responded requesting more open space and walking paths which she said helped the town improve its vision and direction about how the plan should be developed. The Town of Aberdeen will hold a public meeting at the Community Hall June 17 to hear concerns about the proposed bylaws and the official community plan. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing or at the Town Office before the hearing.

Marble Palace syndrome hits Sask. Party
Time to stop taxing tax? By GREGORY THOMAS
Canadian Taxpayers Federation Federal Director www.taxpayer.com
COMMENTARY
As Canadian motorists filled up their tanks this May long weekend, marking the traditional launch to the summer driving season, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) called on the Harper government to scrap the 1.5 cents-per-litre federal “deficit elimination” gas tax and end the practice of taxing tax. The CTF recently sent an open letter to four federal party leaders, demanding that if the budget is balanced as expected, Ottawa keep its hands off the $606 million in ‘deficit elimination tax’ it plans to collect this year, and give it back to Canadian drivers. We’ve suffered with this penny-and-a-half per litre rip-off for nearly 20 years now. The Harper government is projecting a surplus. Why do they need $606 million in deficit reduction tax? Canadians kept paying the deficit reduction gas tax, first introduced in 1995 by the Chrétien government, all the way through 11 surplus budgets between 1996 and 2007 when Ottawa racked up $105 billion in total surplus. By the end of the current fiscal year, with another surplus expected, Canadians will have paid a total of $11.4 billion in deficit reduction gas taxes. Ottawa also charges GST or HST on the federal and provincial excise taxes added to the price at the pump – charging tax on a tax – a practice that costs anywhere from a penny a litre in Alberta to a nickel a litre in Montreal, billing Canadian drivers $1.5 billion this year. In 2004, as Leader of the Opposition, Stephen Harper said the fastest and easiest way to give Canadians relief at the pump is for the federal government to stop charging GST on top of gasoline excise taxes. It’s time to axe the tax on the tax. Canadians are paying 30 per cent of the price at the pump in gas taxes in Toronto. Thirty-one per cent in Halifax, 33 per cent in Vancouver, and 35 per cent in Montreal. It’s highway robbery in the truest sense of the word. You pay $10 more in gas tax to fill up your tank in Ontario than you do in Alberta, $12 more in Nova Scotia, $15 more in Vancouver, and $16 more in Montreal. But the pre-tax price of the fuel is actually lower in all those places than it is in Alberta. Politicians are milking the fuel pumps like a cash cow and it’s time they stopped.

Angels among us
What a wonderful article you did for this week’s Gazette, about Stella Peters and the help she received from Janie Schneider and the Bergthaler Youth group. We all need to hear stories like this. Janie is a cancer survivor herself, and these are two amazing and inspirational women, who previously served together as Warman school board members. Thank you for letting other people know about the angels among us. Blessings! Adeline Cox Warman

Provincial Politics
This is obvious to most people who don’t spend an excessive amount of time under the legislature’s dome; a place where politicians deceive themselves in believing and saying things they might not normally believe or say. It’s called Marble Palace syndrome and the Saskatchewan Party government seemed to develop a bad case of it this spring. Before we explore this notion much further, however, there are a couple points worth making. First, most every government (and every opposition, for that matter) falls victim to the Marble Palace syndrome at one time or the other. And in fairness to the Sask. Party, it doesn’t yet seem quite as obsessed with winning every meaningless battle within the legislature as, say, the last NDP government. Second, it does seem obvious by both the population and job growth that what’s going on outside the Marble Palace is far more significant to Saskatchewan than much of what is going on inside. The Sask. Party generally recognizes this. But judging by some of silly games, government priorities and explanations this session, the Sask. Party clearly struggled this spring to differentiate between what was important to government and what was im-

It feels like ancient history. It’s hard to believe it has been 21 years. The last team to win it was the pesky Montreal Canadiens in 1993, a team I loathe. But if you are like most men this time of year who have for-

portant to people. Consider, for example, the $40-million-plus that the government has spent on the lean health care initiative; or, better put, the government’s justifications for spending that amount of money for a program that sometimes seemed more about the Japanese terminology than improving health care delivery. Of course, we should all strive for efficiencies and sometimes that requires spending a few extra bucks to bring someone in from the outside to take a look at whether your organization is spending its time and money as efficiently as it could. But does the efficient placement of bedpans and hospital linen help rural Saskatchewan with its biggest problem of finding doctors or having to shell out thousands to entice them to live in smaller and more remote communities? Is it as big a priority to worry about nurs-
es’ time or should we be thinking a little harder about why the system must hire back fully pensioned nurses who then collect full salary? Well, when a government is being held captive by the Marble Palace, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of what the real problems are because you have to spend so much time justifying the things that might not be quite so important. Or sometimes it’s the opposite; justifying what you are doing as really important when it really isn’t. The time and energy the Sask. Party has spent this year justifying retiring Social Services Minister June Draude’s trip last year to London and the accompanying $200 lunches or the $1,100 a day limo services would be a prime example of such lost priorities. That it was actually the politically appointed bureaucrat that ordered the limos and
lunches or that he ultimately wound up footing the bill for both when it was discovered he put them on the taxpayers’ tab was not really the point. The point was: Why was this trip deemed necessary in the first place? By session’s end we found out that what supposedly came out of the trip was a new private funding model for a home for single mothers; a program very similar to one Ontario. Going to London didn’t seem all that necessary after all, but in the Marble Palace it sure became necessary to find ways to justify it. The end of the spring sitting affords government MLAs time to get back to their ridings and recalibrate as to what’s really important. Nothing cures a bad case of Marble Palace syndrome quicker than getting away from the root cause of it.

gotten their wives and children in favour of watching the Stanley Cup playoffs, I am sure you have heard about the fate of Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. The Habs’ star goalie was injured and forced out of the lineup for the entire playoffs. As much as Price was on his game, I still don’t think he could have dampened the desire of the Broadway Blue Shirts, who seem to be on a mission to make the final. And let’s face it. The Rangers are playing great hockey right now when it counts. I grew up in the 1980s during the Edmonton Oilers dynasty
and years where the Montreal Canadiens and even the Calgary Flames won the cup. What happened to Les Canadians? They were once a powerhouse in the NHL. Now they are just average, which I know is a strong word for a franchise that won 23 cups. The future seemed bright this year for the Canadiens. They knocked off the Tampa Bay Lightning and my beloved Boston Bruins. Now a Humboldt, Saskatchewan goaltender is forced to save face for the Habs. I have nothing against Dustin Tokarski. He may be a great goaltender, but he is no

Glenn Hall. There is nothing like being thrown to the wolves in the toughest city in the world to play hockey. I would hate to be in his skates right now. What is left for the pure Canadian hockey fans who only cheer for Canadian teams? Do we just rationalize that American NHL teams are really Canadian teams because their rosters were born north of the border? No, because that seems kind of lame. I do know that in a nation where hockey is a tradition this drought is becoming a little embarrassing.

TIP OF THE WEEK
With thieves often targeting easy to steal items such as power tools and electronics investigating property crimes can be a tough and time consuming task for police officers across Canada.You can help protect yourself by recording the make, model and serial number of the
valuable items in your home. If you are ever the victim of a theft and are able to provide the police with a serial number for the item(s) that were stolen, that serial number will then be entered onto the RCMP’s Canada wide computer database.If that item is ever located or recovered by another police officer ( no matter where they are in Canada or what police force they work for ) that item will be linked back to you and your property will be returned back to you.

Celebrating 87 years at Bethany College: Class of 2014 awarded degrees Submitted by
SANDY DERKSEN
Advancement Admin Assistant Bethany College - Hepburn
Over 350 guests braved a spring snowstorm for the 87th closing weekend celebrations at Bethany College that began with an evening service on Good Friday, April 18. A 42-voice choir and 15-piece band consisting of students, alumni, and community members presented, “What More Could He Have Done?” directed by Tim Huebert, Instructor in Ministry Arts. Rod Schellenberg, lead pastor at Hepburn MB Church, provided several vignettes about the love of God, and the hope available to us because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. In addition, The Bethany Players, an eight-member drama team, Beck & Call, a 13-member music team, and The Dance Co presented drama, music, and worship dance in the service. Guests gathered on campus the following day to celebrate and congratulate the students for their accomplishments. Along with the official presentation of degrees, certificates, and awards, guests heard speeches from two students.
INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES Treena Newton, a secondyear student from High River, Alberta, shared a personal account of how difficult it was to trust God through the insecurity and loss she experienced by the flooding of her family’s home last summer. However, she said, healing came when she returned to Bethany College. Newton said, “Where I was when I came back and where I am today is not the same place. God has walked with me so patiently through
this year. From not wanting to talk to Him at all to talking to Him all the time and wanting his guidance in everything – my trust of Him has healed.” She said she felt loved by the professors and the support of fellow students. “Being here has been such a blessing, and I look forward to the future with hope. I know that wherever I go, God will be with me. God is good.” Joshua Kehler, student body president and second-year student from Plum Coulee, Manitoba, also spoke to students and guests. Kehler defined “grit” by quoting Angela Duckworth, “Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals, grit is having stamina, grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon not a sprint.” Kehler referenced a verse from the book of Hebrews that said “faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see.” He encouraged students as they encounter times of hardship to “find your grit, hold on tight and do not be afraid to face the world and its troubles alone, for we are sons and daughters of the King.”
• Ellaina Brown - for her painting entitled “Facing Prostitution.” • Matthew Janzen, First Year - for his essay, “The Sorrow of Suffering.” • Ashten Eby, Second Year for her essay, “A History of Sharon Mennonite Church.” • Stephanie Chase, Third Year - for her essay, “Choose This Day Whom You Will
Serve: An Exegetical Study of Romans 6:15-23.” Two other awards were presented recognizing excellence in academics and leadership: • Ashten Eby – Governor General’s Bronze Medal, awarded to the Diploma graduate with the highest cumulative Grade Point Average. •Claressa Campbell – Delta Epsilon Chi Award of the Hon-
or Society of the Association of Biblical Higher Education for academic excellence, Christian character, and leadership contribution. In addition, several faculty and staff received recognition for long-term service: Martha Schultz, 20 years; Jerry Letkeman, 15 years; Cora Lynn Carey and Joh van Kuik, 10 years; Dan Guggenheimer, Lena
Hamm, and Darlene Klassen, 5 years. Following commencement, students, guests, and Bethany faculty and staff gathered at the Sheraton Cavalier in Saskatoon for the graduation banquet. Students presented a program filled with tributes and shared memories of the year and the year of transformation they experienced in their lives.

STARS launches 2014 lottery Fundraiser keeps life savers in the skies above By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Garfield Beaudry of Raymore thanks his lucky STARS that he’s still alive today. On September 15, 2012, the 75-year-old farmer was doing chores on his farm when he suffered a serious heart attack. Fortunately, his neighbours found him and called 911. A STARS air ambulance helicopter was immediately dispatched from Regina. It was a mission that saved his life. “I don’t remember much about what happened,” said Beaudry in an interview on Wednesday, May 15 in Saskatoon during the STARS 2014 Lottery kickoff event. “But I do know that if the STARS service hadn’t been in operation, I wouldn’t be here today, that’s for sure.” The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) service began in April, 2012, just a few months before Beaudry’s cardiac arrest. Since that time, the service has expanded to two bases, one in Regina and one in Saskatoon, and operates 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days of the year with two helicopters, a fully-trained flight crew that includes pilots, flight nurses, paramedics and physicians. “The helicopter is basically a fully-equipped emergency ward,” according to Jason Trask, a STARS paramedic. “We have ventilators, blood pressure monitoring equipment, medications, pacemakers, defibrillators. Everything you seee in an emergency room or ICU that you need to get that front-line care is in the helicopter.” Tracey Steel, a STARS flight nurse with 12 years experience in trauma and intensive care, said the members of the medical team have different areas that they’re responsible for, but they’re all cross-trained so that they can step into one another’s roles if called upon. She noted a physician is either on the flight or available by radio or telephone on all missions. “If we need to contact a physician for clarification we have them at our disposal quite quickly,” she said. Steel said being part of STARS has been a rewarding

Garfield Beaudry suffered a heart attack in the fall of 2012 and was transported by STARS from his farm in Raymore to hospital in Regina experience, particularly when the team is able to witness positive outcomes for patients. “Anytime you have children involved, and I’ve been involved in quite a few cases where there are criticallyill children, either as a result of car accidents or other trauma, those are the toughest to deal with,” Steel said. “Being a mom myself, they’re heartwreching situations. But they are also the most rewarding. You know you are getting them to the hospital the quickest way you can, and for those types of things, that are so time-dependent, that’s where I feel like we make a big difference.” Yves Bolduc, a former military helicopter pilot who has
seen duty in Afghanistan and has been with the STARS program for two years, says knowing lives are at stake every time he takes off is a huge responsibility, but it’s all in a day’s work. “I love every minute of it,” Bolduc said. “This is the best group of people I’ve ever worked with. We all work as a team.” STARS has ten pilots, including the Aviation Manager. “When we have an alert, we check the weather conditions to make sure we are able to fly out and get back safely,” said Bolduc. “The safety of the crew is important.”
FUNDRAISING LOTTERY
STARS Communications Coordinator David Fairbanks said the service costs roughly $20 million annually to operate. The provincial government provides a $10 million grant, but the balance is raised through donations from individuals, groups, corporations and fundraising events. The STARS lottery accounts for a major part of the STARS budget. Last year, the lottery raised $1.2 million for STARS. “This is our third annual lottery, and we’re hoping to have it sell out,” said Fairbanks. “The first year we sold over 85 per cent and last year it was 96 per cent.” This year, in addition to two

show homes by D&S Homes, one in Saskatoon and one in Regina, the STARS lottery is offering ticket buyers a chance at a 50-50 draw with a minimum payout of $200,000. If the 50-50 tickets sell out, the jackpot will be $700,000. Saskatoon STARS Base Director Cindy Seidel said the STARS mission is to “work in cooperation with the local chain of survival partners, including police, EMS, fire departments, first responders and hospitals, to offer lifesaving transport to critically-ill and injured patients.” She said the lottery is a way for Saskatchewan residents to show their support for the service and to keep the helicopters flying. In 2013, STARS flew 821 missions to 241 different Saskatchewan communities. The service is able to land in remote areas, including highways, and provides transportation for critically-ill patients being transferred from community hospitals to major medical centres.

Emergency Operations Centre ready for use
CTV to air newscast from Warman

Warman Deputy Fire Chief
The Warman Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) on the second floor of the Warman Fire Hall will be the nerve centre where municipal and provincial officials will gather in the event of a major disaster or emergency. The EOC was set up on Wednesday, May 14 for the first time. The organization of the EOC is done by color code, with each color representing a different department such as Operations, Logistics and so on. By color coding the tables and having the people assigned wear the same color vest, there are clear visual cues as to who is doing what job, and wherepeople are assigned to work in an emergency. The EOC is activated very quickly using this system, which is key in an emergency.

Is your family properly prepared in case of a disaster? When an emergency situation occurs, it may take emergency workers some time to reach the scene. To best plan for a disastrous situation, citizens should be prepared to take care of themselves for a minimum of 72 hours. According to Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) officials, it can take as little as 20 minutes to make an emergency plan for you and your family. By building and using a 72-hour emergency checklist and kit, you can be prepared for a range of emergency situations. Although the consequences of various disasters can be similar, knowing the risks can help families better prepare. In Saskatchewan, residents face a number of potentially harmful situations, such as tornadoes, blizzards, and power outages. In addition to natural, industrial or transportation accidents, rail derailments and spills could cause untold danmages to the area. There are some who will say this will never happen, but,
Licence #316103
with weather patterns able to change in a matter of minutes, it’s time to consider your plan. Emergency Preparedness Week was from May 4-10, but it makes sense to be prepared all year round. A good start, according to EMO officials, is to get a copy of the “72 Hour Preparedness” booklet. These are available at the Warman Fire Hall, Warman City Hall, or by downloading a copy online at www. getprepared.ca or call 1-800-6226232 (1-800-O-CANADA) for a household emergency contact sheet that clings to any smooth surface. For more information regarding emergency preparation, call Saskatchewan Emergency Management at 306-7879563. Each community has its own EMO, and, for Warman, the coordinator is Randy Meginbir. He believes that it is better to be educated, prepared with supplies and have a plan established for your family’s safety. Even though emergency services may be accessible sooner, you must be prepared to be self-
sufficient for 72 hours. We’ve all noticed how severe storms and changing weather patterns have made tornadoes a reality in our area. The destruction of houses and schools takes a matter of minutes, yet the results have long-lasting effects on a community. Something to consider is: Where would children go to school if such a disaster struck? What do I take if we’re ordered to evacuate? While the local EMO has most emergency concerns covered for the City of Warman, in the event of a pandemic outbreak, we will adopt the recommendations of Saskatoon. They have a pandemic alert plan in effect if such a disaster did reach this area. This is not meant to panic anyone, but it is meant to educate and reform people’s thinking. With some simple planning, families can cope with a situation knowing that a plan is in place. Inormation is available in the “72 Hour Preparedness” guide and on the www.getprepared.ca website to help you
build a personal emergency plan, communications plan, establishing a meeting place, items for an emergency supply kit. Many of the “what if” questions regarding power outages, storms, floods and other severe weather events are addressed
online in an easy-to-understand format. If a disaster should strike a community, it takes many people and organizations working together to return the community to a normal status. Failing to plan is a plan for failure.
Martensville looks to revamp Emergency Measures bylaw The City of Martensville is revamping its Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) bylaw. The new bylaw, which aims to spell out roles and responsibilities for the city’s EMO Coordinator, senior city managers, the Fire Chief, RCMP Staff Sergeant and other volunteers, was discussed by City Council during a Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, May 13. The bylaw was scheduled to come before council for all three readings on Tuesday, May 20. The new EMO bylaw follows
the hiring of a new EMO Coordinator by the city, and spells out the duties of the EMO Planning Committee. The bylaw also covers the “development and execution” of an Emergency Plan in the event of a major emergency or disaster. The bylaw also requires the EMO Coordinator to prepare annual budgets for the organization, submit regular reports to the Martensville Fire Chief and Martensville City Manager; coordinate training for local emergency measures organization personnel and cooperate with mutual aid agencies.
CTV Saskatoon’s ‘Home Town Tour’ is making a stop in Warman on Thursday, May 29. The evening news program will be highlighting the amenities of Saskatchewan’s newest city as co-anchors Rob MacDonald and Chantel Huber, along with weatherman Jeff Rogstad and sports anchor Kevin Waugh tour the community. “It’s pretty exciting, because the program will let the rest of the province know what this community has to offer,” said Heather Chatfield, Recreation Promotions and Marketing Supervisor for the City of Warman. “We think it will be a great promotion for the city.” Chatfield said two residents nominated Warman as one of the stops in CTV’s weeklong ‘Home Town Tour’ in response to an open invitation by the television station. Another area community in this spring’s tour is Vonda. The dates for the broadcasts will be aired soon. Jan MacLaurin with CTV Saskatoon said one of the differences in this year’s edition of the tour is that the news will not be broadcast live from the community at 6:00 p.m. Instead, she said, interviews with muncipal leaders and gatherings featuring local people will be pre-recorded during the day as part of the tour schedule. Chatfield said the first big event is a community barbecue at 12 noon at the Legends Centre. “We’re hoping to get as many people out as possible to that,” she said. “The other big event is at the Warman Farmers Market at the parking lot of City Hall between 4:45 and 5:15 p.m. where they’ll tape another segment.” Chatfield said the tour of the city will include visits to schools, the Legends Centre, and the fast-growing commercial and residential housing developments.

Potash Corp. celebrates 25 years of business Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) launched its ‘25 Years, One Vision’ celebration campaign at its Annual Shareholders Meeting last week. In 1989, PotashCorp became a publicly listed company on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges. The company is marking this anniversary by sharing memorable stories from some of its customers, investors, employees and community members. “While together we have achieved a tremendous amount over the past 25 years, I’m confident that our next 25 years will be even better,” said Bill Doyle, President
and CEO. “Our employees never lose sight of the incredible responsibility and opportunity we have to help feed the world.” At PotashCorp.com/25 viewers can watch videos about the company’s commitment in various areas – all told from the perspective of those touched by the company over the years. “For this campaign we collected stories that convey how, as a company, we are committed to nourishing more than just the soil,” said Denita Stann, Vice President of Investor and Public Relations. “We really want to celebrate how we as a company
also nourish human potential. We are so happy to share this milestone together with our amazing employees, our longstanding customers and investors, and the thriving communities where we operate.” PotashCorp’s commitment to food security extends beyond the nutrients the company produces. In 2013, PotashCorp contributed $31 million through its community investment program with a significant portion – approximately one-third – directed to supporting food security initiatives, both locally and globally. The company’s other community investment priorities include community building.

Fortune Minerals buying silver mine in Colorado Fortune Minerals announced last week it is purchasing a 100% interest in a silver mine in Ouray County in southwestern Colorado. Financing for the project is provided by Procon Reources, the same company which has partnered with Fortune Minerals in negotiations aimed at completing the proposed NICO gold-cobalt-bismuthcopper project in the Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan. The staged purchase of the Revenue Silver Mine in the Sneffels Silver Mining District of Colorado is aimed at “accomplishing Fortune’s goal of becoming a producing mining company,” according to a news release issued by Fortune Minerals on May 9.
The fully-permitted project will enable the company to process ores from other mines in the area. Fortune Minerals currently has staff at the mine site, which consists of a tunnel along two main veins and five other veins which are so far largely unexplored. The first concentrate was produced in May 2014. The company projects a 13-year life span for the mine, with average annual production of 1.78 million ounces of silver, gold, lead and zinc. Concentrate from the mine will be contracted to Teck Resources smelter in Trail, BC. Silver was first discovered in this area of southwestern Colorado in the 1870s, and mining of the ore has continued in cycles over the decades.
What is the Legacy Project? Located in the RM of Dufferin #190, near Bethune and Findlater, the Legacy Project is one of the world’s most economically attractive potash projects. The project will contribute to Saskatchewan’s growth through employment, tax revenues, utilities and local partnerships. At its peak in 2013 the construction workforce will create over 1,100 jobs and roughly 6 million hours of employment.
Once in full production the mine will utilize a solution process to remove minerals, and employ 320 workers, as well as ongoing contract employment. Potash production from the mine is anticipated for 2016, ramping to its full capacity of 2.86 million tonnes per year by 2023. With further expansion, production could increase to as much as 4 million tonnes per year.

The traditional home of high school, junior and minor football in Saskatoon is due for an upgrade, say organizers of a fundraising campaign to replace the sod field at Gordie Howe Bowl with artificial turf. The Friends of the Bowl Foundation hosted the Bowl Blitz Event on Friday, May 16 at River Landing. Greg Yuel, Campaign Chair, along with coaches Tom Sergeant and Jeff Yausie led the pre-blitz rally before players from Minor Football, Kinsmen Football, High School Football, Hilltops and Valkyries did a blitz of downtown Saskatoon to collect donations for the campaign to renew the Bowl at Gordie Howe Park. Phase 1 of this plan will see the replacement of the existing grass field with CFL regulation artificial turf field and upgraded lighting, scorekeeping and sound systems for the upcoming football season. Phase 2 will include the construction of a large clubhouse with space for offices and team meeting rooms, locker room and change facilities and storage areas. Players from the Clavet Cougars and Clavet students took part in this Blitz. Brian Geubert, former Hilltop, Huskie and CFLer who serves as high performance director of Football Saskatchewan and commissioner of Saskatoon Minor Football, expressed how much this was appreciated, “It is not just about Saskatoon,” said Guebert. “It is about the surrounding areas. For us to continue to have strong programs in Saskatchewan we need to reach out to the rural communities. Seeing the Clavet Cougars jerseys out here speaks to how important that is. They are out doing the work for us and we are so appreciative of it. That is what football is ultimately about in Saskatchewan, it’s about community.”

Adam Friesen of the Hague Panthers returns a punt during Senior Bowl 6-man action
One last kick at a slippery pigskin for high school football players Senior Bowl shines spotlight on graduates By WAYNE SHIELS
essenceofsask@gmail.com
The weather was nasty, but the southern team proved to be an even bigger challenge for area high school football players in the 6-man and 9-man Senior Bowl on Monday, May 18 at Griffiths Stadium. After a weekend of two-a-day practices to allow players to get acquainted and learn common schemes, the top graduating football players in the province participated in the 30th annual Ed Henick Senior Bowl. For the second year in a row, the event organized by Foot-
ball Saskatchewan had seperate games for 6, 9 and 12 man teams. This allowed 168 players to take part. On the 9-man North team players from this area included Delisle’s QB Kyle Richardson, linebacker Alex Rorke, and defensive lineman, Ben TimarGeng and Warman’s receiver Anthony Hallborg, linebacker Jaden White-Laroque, offensive lineman, Jacob Passer and Mankomal Gill. On the 6-man team was Hague’s Luke Guenter and Adam Friesen, Rosthern’s Joel Peters and Josh Thomas and Hanley’s Joel Peters and Kirk

THE
Simonson. Under very challenging conditions due to the heavy rains and cold temperatures, both games went down to the final seconds. The South teams prevailed in both games, winning 7-1 in the 9-man matchup, and 12-0 in the 6-man contest. Delisle’s Alex Rorke received the North’s MVP in the 9-man game for his great sideline to sideline coverage from his linebacker position. In the final game of the day the North 12-man squad prevented a sweep by the South with a dominating 56-2 victory.

Fitness Tips
GO with YOUR GUT
Adding prebiotic and probiotic foods to your diet boosts beneficial bacteria and can improve overall health. If your gut is out of sorts then probably your health is out of sorts to The gut, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) Tract hosts trillions of bacteria that can affect digestive and overall health and wellness, which is a good idea to consume prebiotics and probiotics. These two combined together are a dietary dynamo that work together to populate the gut with “micro-flora” that keeps the mind and body healthy. Research suggests by eating a variety of foods rich in prebiotic, such as vegetables and probiotic fermented foods daily helps to reduce cholesterol, improve mood and promote weight loss. The City Inside You The human body is a city of bacteria with 10 resident microbes for every human cell; most of these live in the gut and do not harm us in any way. But there are some troublemakers than can cause diseases. The uniqueness of the GI tract’s microbial profile rivals that of fingerprints. It is sometimes hard to define a “healthy” micro-flora environment because the type and amount of bacteria in the gut vary widely from individual to individual and even in the geographical regions of the body. Diet has a huge impact on individuals who consume a large amount of fat and sugar. These individuals tend to have less bacterial diversity than those who consume a high fiber and plant based diet. With saying that, age, pregnancy, genetics and environment causes flora to fluctuate. Medications also have a strong impact on gut micro-flora. Antibiotics will quite often reduce populations of friendly bacteria, leaving the GI tract vulnerable to less-friendly bacterial species, inflammation and diarrhea. Next time in my Fit Tips column: On the Defensive. ‘The entire human digestive system is designed to fight infection.’

Valley United SC U12 kicks off season Diamond Dogs lose to talented pitcher with a win over the Eastside Sabres By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Valley United SC U12 Premier soccer team kicked off its regular season with a 1-0 win over the Eastside Sabres in Saskatoon Youth Soccer action May 14. Noa Kolosnjaji scored the game-winning goal, which was supported by a solid team effort, said Valley United U12 Premier coach Robert Noel. This will be the third season Noel has coached Valley United SC (formerly called the VSA Rovers), which won the league in Division II last season and finished fourth overall in the league. With the team winning all of its games last year, Noel thought the boys needed a new challenge by moving them up to the Premier Division. “The reason why we did so well in Division II is because we could move the ball with anyone out there,” said Noel. “We have to evolve that into a more possession style game because it’s the team with the ball that wins.” Noel said he expects his team to play just over .500 in league play this year and he thinks the players are up for the challenge. In the team’s first tournament of the season, the Lakewood Kickstart Tournament, Valley United won its two round robin games before losing in the semi-final to a team that won the tournament. Noel said his team’s success in the tournament was a good example of being mentally and

Valley United also has a Under 12 Division II, Under 14 Division II, Under 12 Girls Division II and a U18 Division III team this season. The Under 12 Division II boys also won their game on May 15 with a convincing 6-1
victory over Hollandia. Noel is confident that his U12 Premier team will have a challenging but rewarding year. “We do have a good group of competitive young boys,” said Noel. “When they know that are going up against a strong team they have proven that they are stronger.”

The Delisle National Leasing Senior Diamond Dogs gave it their all, but it wasn’t enough in a 6-0 shutout to the Saskatoon Senior Diamondbacks in Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) action, May 15. At the beginning of the game, it looked like things could possibly go to extra innings as both pitchers (Bryan Newton, Diamond Dogs and Devon McCullough, Diamondbacks) took turns sitting down batters after four innings. When Newton showed signs of fatigue at the top of the fifth inning, the momentum swung in the Diamondbacks’ favour by driving in three runs on six hits, which continued at the top of the seventh when they drove in three runs on four hits to win the game 6-0. Diamond Dogs left outfielder Shawn Colborn praised the pitching of Newton, who pitched 14 innings for the team in back-to-back games. It was Newton’s pitching that helped the Diamond Dogs defeat the Bruno Senior Merchants 7-2 in their opening league game March 14. Colburn said McCullough made it tough for Diamond Dog hitters to get on base with only three hits and no runs scored during the game. “McCullough is one of the best pitchers in Canada right now. He struck out 20 batters,” said Colburn. “He is young, in shape and throws hard.” The Diamond Dogs currently sit third in the Keith McLean Division with a .500 record of

Delisle’s Chad Starling gains a rare hit during a game against the Saskatoon Senior Diamondbacks. Delisle’s big bats were stymied by pitcher Devon McCullough’s speed one loss and one win in two games. Last year the Diamond Dogs finished with a silver medal at the Westerns, but Colborn is confident the Diamond Dogs will be a tough team to play against this season. “I think we will be extremely competitive again,” said Colborn. “We will have great pitching and a deep bench
so I am extremely excited for our upcoming season and our chances.” Delisle was slated to play the Saskatoon Poly Plus Senior Angels on Tuesday, May 20, following the Gazette press deadline. The Diamond Dogs’ next game is Tuesday, May 27 at 6:45 p.m. when they take on the Saskatoon Junior Bullets at Gordie Howe Park.

The RM of Corman Park unveiled its annual budget on May 16 with capital projects taking up the majority of the $2,260,086 surplus. Total revenue for the RM in 2014 was $14,700,351; with $12,440,265 in expenditures and an adjusted RM operating surplus/deficit of $233,271. The majority of this surplus will be spent on road infrastructure, with $1,685,000 earmarked for resurfacing Beam Road and $664,431 for 2013 capital equipment purchases. Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park Administrator, said this year the gravel program will cover approximately 288 miles of road, which represents well over 35 per cent of Corman Park’s estimated 750 miles of maintained gravel road surfaces. Tittemore also explained that the program, which started on May 5, is two months ahead of schedule compared to prior years. To date, 65 miles of roadways have already been completed. Setting the budget was a challenging task, due to a decrease in potash funding and provincial revenue sharing of over $400,000 in 2014 and an increase in gravel costs of 18 per cent, said Tittemore. In 2014 the RM will also be undertaking over 10 miles of chip sealing and crack sealing on hard surface roads, purchasing $400,000 worth of fire trucks to ensure ratepayers will receive service through

The Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) have arrived at a tentative provincial collective bargaining agreement. The offer includes a total compensation increase of 7.3 per cent over four years as well as a $700 pro-rated payment in the first year. There will be funding for teachers in years three and four of the agreement in recognition of associated fees upon the establishment of a new teacher regulatory and disciplinary body in Saskatchewan. “The Saskatchewan School Boards Association and government representatives have worked hard on this agreement with the STF,” Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee spokesperson Connie Bailey said. “We are hopeful that this agreement will be ratified by the parties involved.” The agreement deals with articles that are required by legislation to be bargained provincially by the GovernmentTrustee Bargaining Committee and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. A commitment has also been made to address other important matters that fall outside of the agreement and bargaining process, including issues such as student and teacher time and developing a common understanding of the expectations put upon teachers.
area fire departments, and utilizing in house construction crews to do clay caps and rebuilds of another 10-15 miles of road during the construction season, he said. Tittemore said the Corman Park’s Public Works department is calling 2014 its “comeback year,” which is due to the
expectation of catching up on major maintenance projects that were delayed in past years due to wet conditions. With a mill rate factor of 1.15 for agriculture, 0.80 for residential and 1.35 for commercial industrial, council decided to increase municipal property taxes by 5 per cent this year.

P:
In a football crazy province like Saskatchewan the rivalry between Saskatoon and Regina teams are legendary: Rams vs Huskies, Hilltops vs Thunder. Now add the Valkyries vs Riot in the WWCFL. The Regina Riot gave the Valkyries their only loss in franchise history in the 2013 regular season. Both teams started the 2014 season with convincing wins over Manitoba rivals in week 1. The matchup between the two teams at Griffiths Stadium on Saturday, May 17 was highly anticipated. Things couldn’t have started better for the Valkyries as returner Julie David took the ball on her 20 yard line and followed great blocking to break open down the far sideline and give her team the lead 17 seconds into the game. The Valkyries would add another special teams TD in the second quarter when Jillian Allen returned a punt for six points. Coach Jeff Yausie talked about the importance of special teams. “As coaches we say special teams are one-third of the game. If you believe that then you need to devote practice time to it. In fact, one practice all we did was special teams. When you are a fast, explosive
team like us, special teams is huge. That is an advantage for us,” he stated, “Things teetered where it could have gone either way. Special teams play in the first and second quarter helped us out.” Valkyries quarterback Candace Bloomquist also threw three TD passes to give the Valkyries a 35-0 half-time lead. The second half was a much tighter defensive battle with teams exchanging rushing TDs by the Valkyries’ Samantha Matheson and Regina’s Carmen
Agar. With less than a minute left in the game Valkyries Julie David made a great catch behind Riot coverage and raced to the end zone to make the final score 49-7. Despite the large margin of victory Coach Yausie talked about the Riot being a wellcoached team that has a lot of pride. He felt they would use this game as motivation for future games. The Valkyries on on the road for the final two games of the regular season.
Duck Lake’s Lauren Bourdon eyes Riot quarterback Aimee Kowalski. The pressure by Bourdon resulted in Kowalski throwing an interception to Valkyries defensive back, Rienna Rueve.

Alice finds herself back in Wonderland again By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Mention Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dawson’s name, and you’re likely to get a blank stare. But everybody knows Dawson’s pen name: Lewis Carroll. The author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” passed away in 1898, but the characters he created are firmly embedded in popular culture thanks to countless movie adaptations of his books. His fan base continues to grow around the world. There’s even a Lewis Carroll Society of North America that holds annual conventions. So what’s the appeal of a novel first published in England in 1865? “It’s just a really fun story,” said Jessica Seidel, a Grade 12 student at Walter W. Brown School who plays the title role of Alice in the school’s senior drama production of “Alice in Wonderland” slated for May 28 and 29. “You don’t have to be super serious on stage. You can be crazy because the characters are crazy and the whole setting is crazy.” The high school play is directed by Brian Knowles, the drama and arts teacher at W. W. Brown High School. He said the students involved in the production have been hard at work since January, rehearsing their
roles and building the sets. “It’s a good experience for the kids,” said Knowles. “They voted on what they wanted to perform, and ‘Alice’ was the most popular choice. A close second was ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ so I think they wanted something that was really ‘out there’; something that was a little off the wall. They’re a real outgoing bunch and I think their choice of play reflects that attitude.” Nicky Derksen, a Grade 12 student, portrays the zany Mad Hatter in the play, and also painted all the backdrops for the set. She said rehearsing all her lines was a snap compared to the work of getting the big paintings completed in time for opening night. “I painted 14 backdrops so far,” she said in an interview on Thursday, May 16. “I still have two more to go. It takes a long time, but I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out. I think they look kind of cool.” Jessica Seidel said learning her lines was a challenge because she’s in almost every scene. “I don’t get off the stage at all, except for one or two small scenes where I can catch my breath,” said Seidel. “I was a little overwhelmed at first, but now that we’re starting to rehearse in costume and everybody knows all the lines and what’s coming, it’s getting eas-
ier. We’ll be ready by opening night.” With three active drama groups, including the high school’s junior and senior drama productions, the community’s Prairie Players, and the long-running Langham Theatrical Company, the town is emerging as a hotspot for amateur theatre. “I think it is growing in popularity,” said Knowles. “Three years ago, the school worked with Prairie Players to put on Wizard of Oz. It was a big production. Last year we had a smaller group and it was a little more low-key. But this year it’s a bigger group again, with a lot of Grade 9 students involved. We have a younger cast this year so a lot of them will be back again next year.” Knowles said drama provides students with a way of building confidence, and encourages both quiet and outgoing students to step into the spotlight. He said his co-director, Janene Bueckert, is a former student at the school. She graduated last year and came back to help direct. “When she was a student here she hardly ever said two words in class,” said Knowles. “But when it came to drama, she was able to step on stage and take on any role. You hardly recognized her when she got into character. It was pretty amazing.

The cast of Alice in Wonderland includes (back row, l-r): Kole Phillips as the Mock Turtle, Nicky Derksen as the Mad Hatter, Shyla Wiebe as the Door Mouse, Rachel Dignean as the Cheshire Cat, Mitchell Yellowlees as the King of Hearts, Jazmine Bloski as the Knave of Hearts. Front: Wade Penner as the March Hare, Jessica Seidel as Alice, Will Pizzey as the Queen of Hearts. Not pictured: Chelsey Brodeur as the White Queen, Athena Eckert as the Caterpillar and Shawna Langer as the Duchess. The play is directed by Monica Neale, Brian Knowles and Janene Bueckert. “That’s why I think drama is so important. It helps develop the whole person. Schools are more than academics and
sports. They’re about the arts too.” Alice in Wonderland is slated for two performances at the
school: Wednesday, May 28 and Thursday, May 29. The shows start at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.
Cystic Fibrosis volunteers make ‘great strides’ for research By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Barbara Ginther of Hepburn says she feels like she’s one of the lucky ones. Born in 1961, the oldest of eight children was one of three siblings to be diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Back then, the odds of survival were pretty slim. Children born in the 1960s with CF were not likely to make it past the age of five. “There wasn’t a lot of information for doctors in those days,” said Ginther in an interview last week. “I wasn’t diagnosed until 1964, when I was three years old.” She was diagnosed after her younger brother, who was born in 1964, almost died at the age of nine months because of problems with his lungs. That
brother later passed away at the age of 18 from the disease. “My symptoms were different than his,” said Ginther. “CF can affect your lungs and your digestive system. With me, the symptoms were more with my digestive system. But after my brother was diagnosed, they tested me and discovered I also had CF.” Another brother in the family, who will turn 37 at the end of May, also has CF. So dealing with the disease is a family affair for Ginther and her relatives. After many years of organizing the annual “Great Strides” walk in Saskatoon to raise funds for research into CF as part of the national Cystic Fibrosis Canada campaign, Ginther is taking on a new challenge. She and her fami-
ly are launching the first annual “Great Strides” walk in Hepburn, slated to take place on Sunday, May 25, beginning at 4:00 p.m. The walk will conclude with a barbecue and social. “I’m from the Hepburn area originally,” Ginther said. “We moved back here last summer. I’m very happy to be back in my home community again after so many years of living in Saskatoon. I think it will be better for my health because there’s less stress out here. I’m at an age now, given my health conditions, where stress can be a hard thing to deal with. I’m 52 years old, and for somebody with CF, that’s considered a senior citizen.” Ginther was the lead organizer for Saskatoon’s Great Strides walk for six years. “I had to
give it up in 2010 when I got really sick again,” she said. “That was the last year I organized it, but our family has always participated in the walk every year. Now because I moved here, we decided to start our own little fundraising walk in Hepburn. We’re hoping it will become a tradition here.” Ginther said many people form “teams” for the walk. “My team is called ‘Barbara’s Pit Crew’,” she said. “My family all has t-shirts with our name on it, and we set our goal as a team. All the funds are sent to Cystic Fibrosis Canada to help find a cure for the disease.” People interested in participating in the walk on May 25 are invited to contact Barbara Ginther at 306-281-6450 or by eCONTINUED ON PAGE 23

LANGHAM NEWS
Winnipeg couple look for photos of great-grandfather who died of gunshot wounds By SELA BALZER
Langham Correspondent
The usual coffee hour attendees on Monday, March 28 were a bit unusual as we had guests from Manitoba stop by. The couple were on a mission, Peggy Kowalchuk and John Muma, from Winnipeg, were looking for information on John’s great grandfather, A.C. S. Latchford, who in 1910 was accidentally shot in the Langham area. Latchford was at that time an accountant at the Langham Northern Crown Bank, having just three months prior been transferred to Langham from Hanley, Saskatchewan. The story goes that Latchford, on a Sunday afternoon, had been at a shooting party with friends. Upon their return home, as he climbed out of his rig, the trigger of his shotgun caught on a blanket and the gun went off. The charge entered Mr. Latchford’s body at the chest and traveled up the back of his neck, killing him instantly. Latchford was thought to be in his twenties at the time of his accidental death. The man’s great grandson, John Muma, was at the Langham Museum hoping to find pictures of the Northern Crown Bank or even one of his great grandfather. A photo of the bank was found and the couple plans to return sometime in the future in hopes of finding more .
DEPRESSION DAYS DINNER
Nothing was dispiriting or depressing at the Depression Days Dinner. In keeping with the ‘depression days’ the food was plain and simple, bologna, scalloped potatoes, baked beans and bread pudding; but as one of the guests put it: “This poor man’s food really tastes rich.”
Potluck dinner guests (l-r): April Birthday girls Doreen Nickel, Trish Berg, Justine Katerynych, and hosts Henry Dick, Shirley Watt and Wally Nickel The weather was also at its finest for the event. One of the side doors of the Museum building had to be opened and a fan turned on to cool off the dining room; now that was a treat! As always there was a door prize, for this occasion it was a basket of Easter goodies, the lucky recipient of which was Steve Balzer. On Sunday, April 6, right after church, twenty of us gathered at the museum, loaded ourselves into vehicles and with dinner theatre tickets in our hands made the trek to Speers. It is a good thing the Museum doors were open prior to our departing and that everyone was travelling with an empty bladder as the condition of the roads was horrible, and the drivers were constantly dodging pot holes and craters. Upon our arrival at the Speers Hall, we were greeted by some shady-looking characters who, with guns drawn, growled: “Pass word?” ‘Muggy Sent Me’ was the phrase they were looking for and which incidentally was the title of the Speers Dinner Theatre produc-
tion. The dinner was great, even to the ten of us who were the last ones invited to the buffet and who had to endure the jokes and teasing from the other ten of our group. Throughout the dinner the actors did a great job of interacting with all the dinner guests; all the while staying in character. We were reminded often that we were in their underground hideout and that things could get dangerous. It was a wonderful afternoon and on our journey home the Red Bull standing by the highway lured us in for ice cream and coffee. On behalf of the others, I extend a big ‘thank you’ to Margaret Balzer for picking up the coffee tab. On Saturday, April 12, Doreen Nickel hosted the River Valley Network Spring Meeting at the Museum with representation from the Hepburn Museum of Wheat and the Waldheim, Borden, Blaine Lake, Osler, Langham, and Wanuskewin Museums. The Museum Association of Saskatchewan (MAS) advisor May -Lin was present to
listen in and occasionally she would have a say during the business portion of the agenda. Following a lunch of soup, buns and cold cuts May-Lin led the group in a workshop focusing on dos and don’t of collecting items for a museum. Spring cleaning day was on April 29, with enough volunteers present to get the job done by noon. Coffee-goers arriving the following morning commented on the fresh smell in the building. Wednesday Potluck was a great success as always. Hosts for the evening were Shirley and Paul Ikert, so it just seemed right that the name chosen for the April hostess gift was Paul. Door prize winners were Doris Epp, Elmer Quiring, and Helen Reimer, our guest visitor from Abbotsford, BC. See, at the Museum we just know how to get it right. The April birthday girls present were Doreen Nickel, Trish Mierau and Justine Katerynych. Coming events: Our Plus 60 group will be sponsoring a ‘Day Trip’ to Honeywood Heritage Nursery at Parkside on July 22.
Details of the trip are not yet finalized but we will have that information soon. Plans are also in the works to bring the Maritimes to the Prairies! We are pleased to have Tom and Lisa Knowles, from New Brunswick, in our Plus 60 group and they
are willing to show us the ‘How to’ and the ‘Do Not’ of cooking lobster. This ‘lobster taste’ supper is tentatively booked for July 6. If you are interested in either of these events please call Doris Tarasoff at 283-4517 or myself at 283-4381. CASH & CARRY OR INSTALLATION AVAILABLE

Mennonite Relief Sale and Auction continues tradition of charity By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A tradition of charity that began 45 years ago is stronger than ever, according to the coordinators of the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Relief Sale and Auction, slated for June 13 and 14 at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon. “This is the 45th annual MCC auction, and it’s the biggest one yet,” said Armin Krahn, who along with his wife, Edith, is working to make sure the two-day event runs smoothly. “It’s about raising money, but it’s also about ed-
ucating people and providing a place where everyone from across the province can get together, enjoy tradittional Mennonite food, and socialize. It’s something people look forward to every year.” The theme for this year’s event is “Building Dams”, a reference to the MCC’s “Coincs Count (Penny Power)” water project in developing countries. Auction items, including baking, plants, coins, quilts, crafts and art are currently being accepted. Donors can contact Edith and Armin Krahn by calling 306-384-1206 or e-mail-
ing eakrahn@sasktel.net . One of the big draws at this year’s auction is a restored skyblue 1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air four door car, complete with “continental kit”. Krahn said this car is definitely attracting the interest of collectors from across the province and beyond. Another unique item going on the auction block is a handmade grandfather’s clock made by Aaron Regehr. “One of Aaron’s granddaughters is donating this clock to the cause,” said Krahn. “It’s a very beautiful work of art and a very generous donation on her part.”
Quilts made especially for the auction are a perennial favourite, he added. “Quilts are a tradition among the Mennonite people,” he confirmed. “There are two areas where quilts are used. There are basic quilts that are made by volunteers throughout the year that are shipped overseas for relief projects. These are basic quilts that are used for warmth. “The other quilts are the artistic, fancy ones that are handquilted for this event.” he said. “They are extremely beautiful works of art.”
Krah said hundreds of people come from across the province for the two-day event. He stressed that the charity is both global and local. “The MCC is active around the world, but there are also many projects right here at home as well,” he said. Last year, the event raised $117,700 for MCC projects. The event also provides a showcase for oher agencies that operate under the MCC umbrella, incuding Mennonite Disaster Services, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Ten Thousand Villages.

Coaches Week proclaimed The provincial government and the Coaches Association of Saskatchewan (CAS) have proclaimed May 24-31 as Coaches Week to recognize and celebrate the valuable contributions coaches make to sport and communities. Amateur sport supports about 300,000 participants across the province. There are over 25,000 coaches in Saskatchewan. Garry Armstrong, Chair of the CAS, says coaches not only teach people to be better athletes, they also teach them to be better citizens. “They lead by example,” he said.
