Student party to proceed under strict conditions RM of Corman Park will keep a watchful eye on university bash By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is hoping lower-intensity loudspeakers, beefed-up security and restrictions on drinking will eliminate any potential headaches for ratepayers during the Edwards Business Students Society’s (EBSS) LB5Q social event in September. The event is usually held in early September at an undisclosed location and is used as a fundraiser to help with graduation costs, formals and academic events, as well as offsetting the cost of sending students to competitions across Canada. A portion of the money is also earmarked for the Children’s Hospital Foundation in Saskatoon. Last year, RM police had their hands full with numerous complaints from nearby residents, ranging from excessive

music and sound system noise to intoxicated students walking alongside the highway. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority also approached the RM to see what recommendations could be made to ensure that these incidents would not happen again. At the May 20 RM of Corman Park council meeting, EBSS LB5Q director Brett Maerz and president Kathryn Le provided a list of changes they plan to make, including rental of less powerful speakers, reducing attendance by 500 to 3,700 and changing the stage position. Reeve Judy Harwood said safety has to be a priority to stage an event of this magnitude. Maerz said she did meet with the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority and is hoping to have more of a police presence as well as additional security for the event this year. Council voted to grant permission for EBSS to hold the event this year but warned that an unfortunate event could be detrimental for future events.

Charges laid in stabbing Four people are facing charges relating to an incident that occurred over the weekend. At approximately 11:00 p.m., May 17, 2014, Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) officers responded to a report of a male suffering from stab wounds at an acreage within Saskatoon city limits near Highway 5 and Llewellyn Road. Upon arrival, police determined the 25-year-old male victim had been dropped off and made his way to a nearby residence where Police and Ambulance were called. He was transported to hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries and has since been released. As a result of the investigation into this incident, a search warrant was executed on a residence in the 10 block of Carleton Drive at approximately 7:30 p.m. on May 18. The

Emergency Response Team and Canine Unit were utilized to conduct the search warrant as there was information that there may be firearms in the residence. Police located a firearm, 59.9 grams of cocaine, 2.7 grams of crack cocaine, 26.1 grams of marihuana, 11.3 grams of psylocybin and over $10,000 in cash. A 26-year-old male has been charged with Aggravated Assault, Unlawful Confinement, Robbery, Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Proceeds of Crime and numerous weapons-related offenses. A 22-year-old female and a 27-year-old male face charges of Party to the Offense of: Aggravated Assault, Unlawful Confinement and Robbery. A 25-year-old female was also charged with Possession of Cocaine and Marihuana. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

Dalmeny Police Constable Scott Rowe (left) and members of the North Corman Park Search and Rescue (NCPSAR) team look over potential evidence at a location east of Fleming Road in Corman Park during a training exercise on Saturday, May 24

Search and rescue training exercise adds an unexpected twist By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A routine training exercise for members of the North Corman Park Search and Rescue (NCPSAR) team last weekend contained a little more drama than the volunteer searchers were used to. But it was all part of the plan, according to NCPSAR President Dwayne Woodland of Dalmeny. Searchers were initially told they were searching for a man and a woman who had disappeared the night before. The fictional scenario involved a married couple who had been last seen arguing at a party before they left on an ATV, heading eastward. Searchers were briefed on the scenario by the NCPSAR Search Manager and team leaders before setting off on foot to look for clues of the couple’s whereabouts.

But it didn’t take long before the teams came upon objects in the field that pointed to the potential for a grisly outcome. Scott Rowe of the Dalmeny Police Service, who was participating in the search exercise, was called in to examine what was likely to become evidence in a crime scene. After several hours of searching and discovering a variety of items scattered over a large area, the searchers came upon a mannequin in a wooded area. The mannequin was used to portray a “deceased” woman. A short distance away, a man playing the role of the woman’s husband, was also found after his hiding place was discovered. It added some drama to the training exercise, and also gave searchers practice in learning how to handle evidence for criminal investigations, said Woodland.

In an interview at the beginning of the search exercise on Saturday, May 24, just off Fleming Road between Dalmeny and Langham, Woodland said the search and rescue volunteers needed to use all their training and skill to accomplish their objective while preserving the integrity of potential evidence gathered at the scene. “We have clues set up over the entire course,” said Woodland. “Every time they find something, they’re not allowed to touch it given that it’s a police issue and it’s considered as evidence. If they’re given the okay by search command, they tag and bag it. But if it’s something like a knife, for example, then it has to be gathered up by the police officer.” Woodland said searchers who came across potential evidence had to be careful not to disturb the ground, because

tracks were also considered evidence. “You just don’t touch anything,” he said. “You leave it as it sits on the ground and then you walk back out in the same tracks you walked in on, and then when the police show up you walk back in on the same tracks again. You don’t want to disturb any of the ground that’s already there because there could have been a struggle. It’s all considered as evidence.” Woodland said because search and rescue teams do numerous training exercises over the course of a year, it’s important to keep their skills sharp, and the best way to do that is to keep their adrenaline up and minds active during the hours of repetitive walking. Woodland said the search and rescue team was grateful to landowner Robert Rempel for allowing the use of his land.

Rhythmic gymnasts put on spectacular show By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The best of rhythmic gymnastics was demonstrated as athletes from all over Saskatchewan participated in the Provincial Gymnaestrada held at Warman High School on Sunday, May 25. Performing Rhythmic Gymnastics Clubs included Adamo, North Valley, Regina, Swift Current, Wascana and the host Prairie Ribbons. The culminating performance was by Team Saskatchewan Gymnaestrada. This group of 70 athletes, including many local athletes from Warman, Saskatoon, and surrounding area, wowed the appreciative audience with their spectacular and precise routines. Team Saskatchewan will be travelling to the National Gymnaestrata in Calgary this summer to attempt to qualifify to attend the World Gymnaestrta in Helsinki, Finland

in 2015. Michelle Kocur Rachey, head coach of the Prairie Ribbons Rhythmic Gymnastics Club, also serves as one of the Team Saskatchewan coaches. Rachey has been instrumental in the development of Rhythmic Gymnastics in our area and her efforts have resulted in her being a YWCA 2014 Women of Distinction nominee in the athletics category. The Women of Distinction Awards will be held on Thursday, May 29 at TCU Place in Saskatoon. These awards are recognized nationally as being among the most prestigious awards for women, celebrating the best in women’s achievement in industry, culture and public service since 1982. Rachey will also lead Team Prairie Ribbons, based out of Warman, in the National Gymnaestrada in Calgary. Many of the athletes from that squad are also part of the Team Saskatchewan Squad.

Perimeter highway study still has unanswered questions, says RM By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park has been asked to review and endorse the final draft of the Perimeter Highway Validation Study but there doesn’t appear to be an appetite to simply sign on the dotted line. At least not until some questions posed by the RM are answered. In 2013 the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure undertook the study for the current location of the perimeter highway alignment to assess conditions that may have changed since previous decisions were made to approve the planned route. The roadway has been defined as being between Highway 11 South and Highway 14 West – proceeding in a counter-clockwise direction around the southeast, east, north and west boundaries of Saskatoon. It hasn’t been determined yet if the remaining area in the southwest is desirable in order to complete a ring road. The purpose for building the highway is based on the prem-

ise that the city can grow inside this future highway corridor and accommodate a population of 400,000. When the plan for the highway was first devised in 1999 there were some differences to future access points required by the city to support land use planning. As a result, a conditions assessment was completed to review the previous decisions that were made to define the currently approved route and confirm their relevance and validity today. As the approved route was developed between 1999 and 2007 there may be conditions that have influenced decisions that are now significantly different and may require a possible change to the approved route. The results of assessment found that current population growth and traffic volume growth is accelerating beyond what was initially considered in the previous studies, which means the highway may be required sooner than previously thought. Existing and future changes to land use and development planning may influence the lo-

cation of the highway, but there is no specific need to consider moving it based on other road network or infrastructure plans. However, some reconciliation will be required if the highway develops into the city to ensure adequate access is required. It was stated in the study report that while no significant environmental issues are expected, the Meewasin Valley Authority will be consulted if any are identified.

APPROVED ROUTES

Sections of the route considered to be valid include Highway 5 to Wanuskewin Road and Highway 16 west to Highway 14. Two areas that are valid but will need further review include the north area between Wanuskewin Road and Highway 16 due to proposed interchange spacing and access management. The other is the west terminal at Highway 14 due to the proximity of future development. Two areas that will not be considered include the terminal at Highway 11 South, which is

due to development constraints and the inflexibility to address future operational needs. The section of Highway 11 to Highway 5 is the other invalid route, which is due to land development, geometry and operational concerns at Highway 16 East.

PRIORITY WORK

The suggested order of priorities to continue the planning and design of the perimeter highway include: • completing the work started between Wanuskewin Road and Highway 16 West in the north end of the city to determine whether desirable interchange spacing and access management can be achieved for the intended function of the highway; • initiating a study to determine the need for a southeast connection between Highway 11 south and Highway 7; • completing the general location study from Highway 11 South to north of 8th Street East; • undertaking the planning between Highways 14 and 7 and if an alignment around the southwest area is needed, com-

plete the general location study to determine route location.

DRAFT ANALYSIS

One of the RM’s concerns with building the new highway is determining the time line for how long consultation is going to take, when final approval of the route is decided and when construction will begin. Division 3 councilor David Fox said he would rather not have the new highway go through his area. Fox asked Rebecca Row, planning manager for the RM, how long the consultation process is going to take to determine a southwest route. “What the ministry has expressed to me was determining some time frames on monetary buy-ins towards the projects,” said Row. “My guess is that the next level of study to determine the southwest leg would take a year then an access management study,” Row said both studies – including other priority items – could take about two to four years to complete. Division 1 councilor John

Germs said it is hard to endorse a study when there are so many unanswered questions. He is particularly concerned about an area of protected swale northeast of Saskatoon. It is an area he says the city is planning to drain through the agricultural community and into the river. “What I don’t understand is how can we endorse a highway to go through a protected area?” Germs stated. Row said communication needs to be improved between the RM and the Meewasin Valley Authority. “Part of what we learned through the process is when Meewasin got involved in the city’s parkway bridge, they shifted it to a better location,” she said. “Some of the details as to how the roadway was constructed was done through consultations with the Meewasin Valley Authority and a Swale Watchers group.” Reeve Judy Harwood stated the delay is holding up developments in the ever-expanding RM, which is why it is important that the highway is built sooner rather than later.

Funding shortfall makes allocation of resources challenging Instructional costs make up 75 per cent of school division’s annual budget By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

While Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD boasts one of the highest graduation rates in the province, promotes safe learning environments, and cultivates strong partnerships with communities, it also faces serious challenges, according to George Janzen, an elected member of the PSSD Board of Education. Janzen, who represents Subdivision 4, which includes the communities of Osler, Dalmeny, and Hepburn, said the school division is being “short-changed” by the provincial government when it comes to operating funds. In his remarks to the Osler Community Information meeting on Wednesday, May 21, Janzen told ratepayers the provincial education ministry is very generous when it comes to funding repairs to aging schools, but much less forthcoming on operating expenses. “We receive our funds from the Ministry of Education in Regina on the basis of a funding formula,” said Janzen. “And that formula is generally fair because it’s based on enrollment statistics. But there are parts of that funding formula that we question because we feel it’s unfair to our school division.” Janzen said the PSSD Board and administration has made its case to the government several times over the past year, and will continue to hold discussions. But, he said, the division was disappointed with the last provincial budget. “We were anticipating we would receive some response in the budget,” said Janzen. “We did see some, but not nearly as

much as we had hoped. So operating money is definitely an issue for us.” Janzen said PSSD is finalizing its budget in the next few weeks. “It will be a balanced budget,” he said. “But in order to do that we have to dip into reserves. Over the next two years, we have to find some significant efficiencies across the division, unless the government changes its mind, and governments don’t always do that. They have their own pressures, and we understand that and we want to work with them. But it’s fair to say that

out negatively impacting students’ education is becoming harder. “We’re trying to find out if there is an anomaly in our situation that makes the funding model inequitable,” said Kuzbik. “At the moment we feel it is inequitable, but we have to live within it, and we’re going to be facing some very challenging times next year if it doesn’t change.” Kuzbik said the funding model used by the Ministry of Education earmarks specific funding amounts for specific purposes. “The funding model looks

“We’re trying to find out if there is an anomaly in our situation that makes the funding model inequitable...but we have to live within it and we we’re going to be facing some very challenging times next year if it doesn’t change.” • PSSD Director of Education John Kuzbik the next two years will be quite challenging in terms of finding the efficiencies we need to present balanced budgets every year.”

FUNDING ANOMALY

PSSD Director of Education John Kuzbik confirmed in an interview on Thursday, May 22 that the school division is continuing discussions with the Ministry of Education over the funding formula. “We feel that the funding levels to our division haven’t served us very well,” said Kuzbik. He noted that since school divisions lost the ability to raise funds through higher property taxes, balancing budgets with-

at transportation and says: ‘here’s an envelope of money for transportation to the school division, and we certainly fall within that envelope,” said Kuzbik. “It’s the same with the envelope for governance, we’re well within that funding limit in terms of board expenses; and the same for facilities maintenance. We fall within that amount. “But where we cannot make that envelope work for us is in the instructional side,” Kuzbik continued. “That’s where the shortfall is. And it’s a big chunk of our budget - roughly 75 per cent of our expenses. So we’re trying to figure out what we do differently here, that other school divisions don’t, which

causes us to have such a shortfall in that envelope of money. “On the surface, it doesn’t appear that there is any reason for that. So during June, July and August, we’ll be spending time doing comparisons to find out where that difference may exist.” Kuzbik said the PSSD Board, administration and staff are all committed to keeping educational standards high, and are going the extra mile to make that happen.

STAFF ALLOCATIONS

Currently, the division is looking at staffing levels for every school, confirmed Kuzbik. “We’re into May-June staffing, which means we’re allocating staff for the start of the school year in September,” he said. “We take a look at projected enrollments and look at what is occurring in the schools over a number of years. We have a software program that does population projections for us in March every year, and we use that as our baseline figures for where our schools are going to be in September.” Kuzbik said because they are using estimates, the staffing levels are often adjusted when final enrollment figures come in at the start of the school year. “We try and be consistent from school to school throughout the division,” he said. “We also take into account the unique needs of small schools and large schools. They are not all staffed exactly the same way, but very similarly.”

HEART OF COMMUNITY

While staff turnover and transfers happen every year, some students at W.W. Brown School in Langham feel that the impending transfer of a well-respected teacher out of their school will have a negative impact on their education. Cole Fry, a Grade 12 student and a member of the school’s Student Representative Coun-

Standoff northeast of Hanley ends peacefully A 27-year-old man who barricaded himself in a house in the RM of Lost River near Hanley is in custody and could be facing charges. At approximately 11:00 a.m on Monday, May 26, Saskatoon/Hanley RCMP received a call about a distraught male on a property in the RM of Lost River, approximately 28 kilometers

northeast of Hanley. The man was reported to have a rifle and be on the property which belonged to family members. The Warman RCMP detachment was also called in at the beginning of the incident to assist. Police set up a perimeter around the scene to restrict access to the property

and shortly afterwards the RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT), Containment Team, negotiators, and police dog service arrived on scene. Efforts were made to have the male surrender and, att approximately 4:48 p.m., ERT went into the residence and located the male in possession of a rifle.

The man, who was alone in the home, was arrested without incident and no one was injured. The male is currently in custody pending further investigation and charges are pending.

cil (SRC), said in an interview on Thursday May 15 that the teacher has a way of connecting with students who normally “tune out” and don’t participate in academics, sports or arts. “When we lose teachers, especially in a smaller school, it really has an impact,” said Fry. “I’m graduating this year, so I won’t be around, but I’m concerned about making sure the school is still a good place for students in future years. This school is the heart of the community, and good teachers are the heart of the school.” Kuzbik, a former principal, said he understands the concerns raised by the students. He declined to discuss specifics of any particular school, but acknowledged the issue is likely to become more common in coming years. “When we have students saying they want to keep a teacher at their school, that’s great because the kids see their teachers as good,” said Kuzbik. “I would hope that happens at ev-

ery school. We want teachers to have those strong learning relationships with their students. I hope the principal of every school says: ‘There is no one on staff that I can afford to lose.’ It’s good for the kids to recognize the contribution of the teacher. It doesn’t make our decision any easier, but we have to work with the funding we have and allocate our resources the best way we can. We have to stay as closely as we can within the envelope of money we’re given by the government, and we have to be as fair as we can.”

Training for disabled promoted to businesses By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Employers who “look outside the box” when it comes to hiring people with disabilities are very often genuinely surprised at how much their business can benefit, according to Sheila Anderson, senior employment, education and transition facilitator with the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living (SACL). Speaking at a noon “Lunchbox Learning” session sponsored by the Warman Chamber of Commerce (WCC) on Thursday, May 22, Anderson said work experience programs in schools are valuable for students with disabilities. Noting that students with intellectual disabilities may stay in high school till they are 22-years-old, Anderson said they need to learn life skills and gain work experience so they can become contributing members of society. “People with intellectual disabilities take longer to learn things, and work experience is a very good bridge to paid employment,” said Anderson. “They learn what it takes to be a good employee, they learn work skills, develop stamina and make their own professional networks.” The SACL is a provincial advocacy organization for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. SACL provides support to people with disabilities who are making the transition from school to the workplace. “Right now we have eight students at Warman High

Sheila Anderson School (WHS) and three adults in this community, as well as 10 students in Martensville that SACL is working with,” said Anderson. “We know there will be many more in the future.” Anderson said families of people with intellectual disabilities are invited to contact SACL regarding paid employment support servives. “Because of confidentiality concerns, the families need to contact us,” she said. “We are the only service provider in the province that provides funding for students with disabilities.” Funding for SACL’s Student Employment Support comes from the provincial Ministry of the Economy. The agency is also able to tap into training allowances. “Statistics show that if they have a paid job while they are still students, they will be more successful as adults in the working field,” she said.

“We try to give the students a boost.” Anderson said she understands the challenges and rewards for families of people with intellectual disabilities, noting she has a 30-year-old brother who is autistic. “A common concern I hear is that there is a lack of opportunity for people with disabilities in smaller communities,” she said. “Individuals want to stay and live and work in their home communities, and it’s great when business owners open up opportunities for local people.” Anderson cited an example of a young man with intellectual disabilities who graduated several years ago from a Saskatoon high school. This individual was given a job cleaning city buses. “It was totally new job classification that the city implemented, and it benefited both the city and the individual,” said Anderson. “The young man is totally accepted as part of the crew, and his contribution to the city is very valuable.” Anderson said training allowances may also involve the use of an educational assistant while the student is on the work training program. She cited an example of an EA’s idea of providing a student with visual aids of the various steps in the job he was doing. The visual aids worked so well that all the other employees in the shop began using them as well, she said. More information on SACL’s programs is available online at www.sacl.org.

Program bridges students into workplace following graduation By TERRY PUGH

Many students would see a few hours a week away from the classroom as a bonus. But, for those who take part in the Warman High School’s (WHS) work experience program, those hours are put to valuable use for both the student and the employer. “Students typically do

their work experience after school and during evenings and weekends,” said Susan Bayne, who is in charge of the school’s work experience program. “But every school tailors their program to their own needs. Some do it during school hours. “The goal is to be a bridge for students into the working world after graduation. They

get work experience and gain skills. They put in 50 hours at a workplace, and quite often, they’re able to get a job with that company after they graduate.” The WHS program begins when students are in Grade 10 and, for students with disabilities, the process eventually leads into a transitional program after graduation.

Osler planning for pavement Property taxes going up 3.2 per cent By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Osler has some major capital projects on the drawing board in the coming year, including paving several streets, completing its new fire hall and doing some engineering with respect to upgrading its storm sewer drainage. And to help pay for those much-needed improvements, the municipal portion of property taxes will be going up 3.2 per cent overall. “It was a very difficult process to finalize the budget this year,” confirmed Osler Chief Adminstrative Officer (CAO) Sandra MacArthur. “There was a lot of discussion around the council table about whether we should raise taxes. Everyone wanted to hold the line on taxes, but the reality is that all our costs are going up. Water is up seven per cent, power is going up five per cent. We pay $1,700 a month just for street lights, for example. Simply to keep the services as they are, we’re looking at a three per cent increase no matter what.” The town’s budget was passed at the Osler Town Council meeting on Tuesday, May 13. At a ratepayers information meeting on Wednesday, May 21, the details of the municipality’s revenues and expenses were documented. MacArthur said the council raised the residential mill rate by half a mill. The tax increase will vary depending on the assessed value of the home, she added. On a home with an assessed value of $305,800, for example, this year’s tax levy will be $3,382.16, compared to $3,275.14 last year, an increase of 3.27 per cent. A home with an assessed value of $153,600 will pay $2,047.23 in municipal taxes this year, a 2.7 per cent increase over last year; while a home with an assessed value of $558,000 will pay $5,594.22, a 3.62 per cent hike over last year. MacArthur told the ratepayer meeting the town’s overall assessment in 2013 was just over $81 million. The residential mill rate last year was 7 mills. The school residential mill rate, which is set by the provincial government, was 5.03. “Last year we sent the province $411,250 that we collected in taxes for the school division,” said MacArthur. In 2014, the municipality’s overall assessment is just over $82 million. The school residential mill rate remains at 5.03, so the total school taxes that will be sent to the province from Osler this year amounts to $433,000, she said. “The town mill rate was raised half a mill to 7.5 mills,

which will generate approximately $915,000,” said MacArthur. “We tried to keep the mill rate as low as possible. Osler has a base tax of $700 for residential, $400 for agricultural and $700 for commercial and industrial.” Last year, revenue from municipal taxes amounted to $829,303.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS

Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said the town council is looking to improve the municipal road network by upgrading and paving a portion of 1st Street from 1st Avenue to the 6th Avenue intersection; 6th Avenue from 1st Street to 3rd Street; and Pauls Crescent. Curbs and gutters will also be installed on the 1st Street and 6th Avenue projects. The Pauls Crescent project would only need to be rebuilt and paved as the curbs and gutters are already in place. Buhler said a portion of 1st Street from 6th Avenue to the VCA Road (Township Road 393) will be deferred until storm sewer drainage pipes are installed at a later date. “The installation of curbs and gutters will really improve drainage in those areas,” said Buhler. “It’s no secret that Osler is fairly flat and this is the main business area, so it really needs to be improved.” He noted the projects will be done over a two-year period. “The first year they have to dig down and rebuild the roads,” he said. “They’ll have to go down six feet, because of the seams of sand and clay that are mixed in together. In the second year, after it has had time to settle, then they’ll pave and put in the curbs and gutters. So we hope to get the first half of that done this year.” The local improvement proposals are being submitted to the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB) for permission to proceed, after which the proposal’s costs and benefits will be presented to the community. If property owners are opposed to the project, they have the option of petitioning against it. “If more than 50 per cent of the property owners say they don’t want it, then it can’t proceed,” explained MacArthur. That is what happened the last two times it was proposed, noted Buhler. “A couple of years ago, it was not successful,” said Buhler. “Folks didn’t want to go forward with it.” The same thing happened in 2001, when the public voted to not go ahead with a $3 million project to pave all the streets in Osler. The total cost of that project at that time would have been $3 million, said Buhler. Over the past several years, the town has upgraded several aspects of its infrastructure, CONTINUED ON PAGE B13

Corner Gas on big screen and the sequel to film politics

Managing debt is the key

It may be the most wellknown rural Saskatchewan community…even if it really doesn’t exist.

By JEFF SCHWARTZ

Executive-Director Consolidated Credit Counselling Servics of Canada www.consolidatedcredit.ca

COMMENTARY

There’s a rising tide of disenchanted Canadians who have all but given up hope in ever finding a job. They’ve resigned themselves to a life of poverty after being rejected time and time again by prospective employers. A recent Harris Poll brutally laid out the mindset of the long-term unemployed: · 39% agree with the statement – “I’ve completely given up on finding a job;” · 36% say they have had no interviews in the past month; · 44% believe there are no jobs for them and 84% are getting more discouraged as time passes; There are long-term financial consequences of being unemployed for an extended period of time. Long-term unemployment has long-reaching financial consequences. Savings are exhausted, debts pile up, and a healthy financial future gets further and further away. Some people will struggle to ever recover from the financial beating they are taking right now. The number of people in this situation is staggering. A recent CBC article states that 272,000 Canadians fit the definition of “long-term unemployed” which is nearly double the amount before the recession. Consolidated Credit believes that Canadians should prepare for the worst when organizing their finances. By being prepared for the loss of a job, can lessen the severity of the blow. Here are some tips to keep in mind: · Save when you can: Canadians need to build up their savings so they have an emergency fund when difficult situations arise. This will allow you to keep paying your bills, mortgage, etc. while looking for a new job. · Avoid debt: If debt payments take a large part of your salary each month, the loss of a job can push you over a financial cliff. Avoiding debt and living within your means will help you avoid the financial problems of being laid-off. · Never stop learning: Acquiring more certifications, licenses, etc. can make you more employable if you are forced to look for a new job. Taking night courses/correspondence classes while employed will look great on a resume and show prospective employers you are a hard-worker. Many Canadians are facing a crisis in their working lives. They have left the workforce and are doubtful if they will ever return. It is important to be prepared for the worst in order to financially survive the tough times.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Dog River cannot be found on a Saskatchewan road map, but viewers across Canada and in 26 other countries around the world know it as the home of Corner Gas. And after a five-year disappearance, the home of Brent, Oscar and Emma Leroy, Hank Yarbo, Lacey Burrows, Wanda Dollard, Sergeant Davis Quinton and Constable Karen Pelly is about to be rediscovered in Corner Gas: The Movie. (You will all be familiar with those last names; all of them, Saskatchewan rural communities that Corner Gas star and series creator Brent Butt slyly slipped in as a tribute to his home province. Even bit characters like bartender Phil Kinistino and liquor store/insurance business owner/operator Wes Humboldt were named after Saskatchewan communities.). The return of Saskatchewan’s most beloved community and its quirky residents should be more of a good news story than a political one. That said, there’s been nothing in this province as political as the funding of film and TV industry… unless it’s the demise of government funding two years ago. Notwithstanding the immense popularity of Corner Gas (politicians, including premiers Brad Wall and Lorne Calvert, MP Ralph Goodale, Senator Pamela Wallin and even Prime Minister Stephen Harp-

er all lined up for guest appearances), the entire industry was always a source of political tension between the NDP and the Sask. Party. Some in the film industry were viewed to be very close to the NDP… or at the very least, had a certain knack for getting a lot out of its government. It was through these close contacts that the NDP government was convinced that Saskatchewan needed its very own soundstage, built on Regina’s College Avenue by converting the old normal school building. And it was through these connections that the Saskatchewan Film Employment Credit; a grant/tax break based on the number of jobs created; was born. It was complex grant system based on everything from the number of people hired to where they worked. (Corner Gas was shot in Rouleau, because it was the minimum distance from Regina that still qualified a company for the ru-

ral employment component of the tax credit grant.) But it was also the industry’s penchant to win favour with the NDP government through projects like Prairie Giant: The Tommy Douglas story that secretly made the government’s opponents livid. That said, it would have been political suicide for Wall’s government to pull the plug on funding if meant harming the immensely popular Corner Gas. However, Corner Gas ran its course in 2009 and the Sask. Party government did away with the entire SFEC in the 2012 budget. Not even valid arguments from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce that spin-off benefits alone made the industry economically beneficial were to help. The SFEC was replaced with Creative Saskatchewan that coincidentally seemed more interested in developing country music; a pet interest of Wall

and the Sask. Party. But talk of a remake of Corner Gas in movie form left the Sask. Party with the problem of Saskatchewan’s most beloved show being filmed in Alberta or Manitoba that still support the film industry through tax breaks and grants. So what could the Sask. Party do? Well, two year’s worth of Creative Saskatchewan’s maximum $250,000 per year grant for a film was handed out ($500,000) and the Crown corporation Tourism Saskatchewan “invested” another $1.5 million in the movie project as promotion. In total that is $2 million or 23 per cent of the Corner Gas movie’s $8.5-million budget. That’s $2 million from government; a subsidy level for a film from the Sask. Party government that would make the NDP blush. Corner Gas is back, but so is the somewhat less comical politics in the film and video industry.

from work. But, could it also be overinflated driver egos, undiagnosed mental illness or a false sense of security with the type of vehicle driven? Purely by its definition, road rage can be described as any aggressive behavior by a driver of an automobile that may include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults and collisions that result in injuries – and even deaths. Saskatoon’s Robert Lorensen and his family are a fine example of what happens when gestures escalate out of control. Over the weekend for merely honking at a driver at an in-

tersection, the incident turned into verbal shouting, then gestures, which in most cases is where these things stop. It didn’t for Lorensen, though. He was met by the occupants of a truck that followed him to his family home. Lorensen was subsequently physically assaulted while his wife and young child watched helplessly. Now all this aggression was because Lorensen honked his horn at the truck moments earlier. A horn, it should be noted, has been an automobile accessory or decades. The logic behind the device is to warn and alert other drivers. It is true that incidents like this in Saskatoon are rare. I am quite sure that just as the

media published or broadcast this story there are probably copycats who think this is a cool thing to do. Were Lorensen’s assailants on drugs or impaired? Maybe. Do the perps suffer from some sort of medical issue? Possibly. Is this incident a result of youth not having the brain capacity to think about consequences? Where does this lack of morals and judgement stem from? The interesting thing about road rage is that we can all fall victim to it. I despise driving on congested highways and arterial roadways. If someone cuts me off, passes me on the shoulder, merges without looking or rides my bumper to pressure me to

change lanes it irritates me. Last winter I was forced into another lane on Circle Drive by a pickup truck during the morning commute to work. The driver simply proceeded to merge without checking his blind side. I was incensed by his actions and reckless abandon for the safety of my girlfriend, my kids and me. Shortly afterwards on the highway north of Saskatoon, I made sure I “saluted” him and told him what I thought of him, even though I knew he couldn’t possibly hear me. It’s a normal reaction to get upset – especially since this driver’s ineptitude could have have been fatal and/or injured others in a possible pileup. However, following a fami-

ly home to pummel someone who honks at you screams of other issues. If this kind of rage becomes a trend with Saskatchewan’s growing population, maybe SGI should look deeper at traffic and criminal code conviction trends among drivers before issuing and renewing licences. For example, if someone has racked up some tickets for aggressive driving and also has an assault or three on his or her rapsheet, flag them as potential stick of dynamite ready to go off behind the wheel. In the meantime, incidents such as the one Lorensen experienced will sadly continue to happen. All we can hope is that next time it isn’t one of us.

Warman Catholic School Board votes to amalgamate By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Catholic School Board (WCSB) passed a motion to amalgamate with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Board (GSCSB) during its board meeting at the Legends Centre, May 20. Ken Loehndorf, director of education for WCSB said board chair Josie Hodgkinson and vice-chair David Arnold met with officials from GSCSB the week before and were pleased with the result. Loehndorf said he expects GSCSB will have WCSB’s motion to amalgamate as part of its agenda for its next meeting June 9. “If GSCSB agrees then we will both send a letter to the minister saying we wish the minister approve an amalgamation with the GSCSB effective as soon as possible,” said Loehndorf. “They would then send a similar letter saying their board would like to assume responsibility for the Warman area.” Loehndorf said there will be other documents that will have to be signed, including where the WCSB boundaries will be and how representation will work in that area. He said the GSCSB will also create a plan to inform ratepayers in Warman how they can transfer their taxes. Unlike the Martensville Catholic School Board, which has representation on the GSCSB, Warman will not because the GSCSB only has room for ten representatives. This means Wayne Stus’s role as the rural representative on the board representing Martensville will expand to include both Warman and Martensville together, said Loehndorf. “When the next election happens two years from this fall somebody from Warman can run and be the rep, but there will only be one rural rep for that entire area.” Loehndorf said if the GSCSB chooses to assume responsibility for the WCSB, parents from Warman who want to send their children to catholic schools in Saskatoon will be sent a letter on steps to register for bussing. The GSCSB currently busses kids from Martensville to St. Angela School and Bishop James Mahoney High School in Saskatoon.

Martensville fire crews spray compressed air foam fire suppressant on a farmhouse in the RM of Corman Park west of Martensville on Saturday, May 24

Martensville firefighters sharpen skills with compressed air foam system By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The basic principle behind fighting fires with Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) has been around since 1938, but it’s only in the last thirty years that the technology has allowed it to become practical, according to Mark Tracy, an instructor with Waterous, an American company that’s been manufacturing firefighting equipment for 125 years. Tracy was guiding a crew of firefighters with the Martensville Fire Department through their paces during a training exercise in the RM of Corman Park on Saturday, May 24. The Martensville Fire Department’s new pumper truck is equipped with a computerized CAFS system, and it’s important that as many firefighters as possible are trained to use it, said Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck. “We have 14 of our men out here today, so that’s a good turnout,” said Dyck in an interview at the scene west of Martensville. “The tactics involved in fighting fires using CAFS are different than when you’re using straight water.” Tracy, who hails from Flagstaff, Arizona, is one of a dozen instructors from Waterous that train fire crews around the world in the use of the technology. He said the use of CAFS is in-

“When you make a bubble, you end up with more surface area,” said David. “That surface area absorbs heat, so the more surface area you can put in your fire suppressant, the faster and more effectively it works.” David said the foam can reduce the temperature of a fully-engaged fire from a thousand degrees Farenheit to below 212 degrees within 38 seconds. A graphic example of that was provided during the training burn, when a brief spray of wet foam knocked down a towering colulmn of flame and smoke in a matter of seconds. Wet foam, about the consistency of melted ice cream, is used to extinguish flames, while a dry mixture of the foam resembles shaving cream and is used to apply a protective coating to buildings and trees that are threatened by an approaching fire. The coating can last between 15 minutes to 30 minutes if it is not washed off by water. Tracy said in addition to expanding the surface area, the chemicals in the foam change the water so that the liquid soaks into any carbon-based fuel, such as wood, on contact. That robs the fire of its fuel and helps prevent its spread, he added. Tracy said better chemicals, improved technology and smaller components have brought the system within the reach of most fire departments.

creasing rapidly, particularly in larger urban centres. “At one time it was much more popular with rural fire departments because it really stretches your firefighting capacity if water is scarce,” said Tracy. “But it’s also very effective in quickly suppressing the spread of a fire, and that’s equally as important.” Captain Gary David with the Martensville Fire Department said the principle is deceptively simple. “It’s basically a way of making bubbles,” said David. “But there’s a lot of science involved.” David said the system “takes the normal water and the normal foam that we’ve always been using and that all the other departments use, but now we add an air compressor to the system. “By injecting that pressurized air into the water and foam solution, it makes bubbles. “If we have a thousand gallons of water on the truck, and we pump all that through our compressed air foam system, we could use a thousand gallons of water and three gallons of foam, and we could make about three thousand gallons of bubbles from that.” David said the bubbles effectively “smother” the flames and also immediately neutralize the intense heat of the blaze.

Building permits up as Warman continues to grow at a rapid pace By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman is growing at an impressive pace, according to Kendall Shram, a member of the Warman City Council and Chair of the council’s Planning and Economic Development Committee. Speaking at the City of Warman ratepayers meeting on Tuesday, May 13, Shram said the number of building permits issued so far in 2014 is on pace to be a record. “From January 1 to April 30, there have been 14 commercial building permits issued worth a total of $16,983,000,” said Shram. “We’ve also seen 109 building permits issued for new residential dwellings with a value of $24,919,900.” Combined with 98 permits for residential additions and renovations, that brings the total to 221 permits issued so far this year with a total value of $43,950,800, said Shram. “With all that construction and growth, the need for planning is crucial,” he said. “Good urban design can increase property values, reduce crime, contribute to public health and ease transportation problems. The issues we have as a growing community make it necessary to focus on planning.” Shram said Warman is working to attract more business to the community by offering one of the lowest tax rates in the province. He said new businesses that will be opening this summer include the Co-op grocery store and gas bar in the Legends Plaza, a new branch of the Royal Bank, the Chef’s Market on Central Street, a Taco Time opening this month and a Dairy Queen slated to open this summer. A Pet Value store in the Legends Plaza is also opening soon. In addition, he said, the business sector is strengthened by the emergence of the Warman Chamber of Commerce, an orgaization which has doubled its membership in the past year. New residential subdivisions and two new schools coming on stream in the next few years means the municipality will continue to work with the school divisions to ensure these projects benefit all residents. Warman is part of a larger “Planning for Growth” (P4G) initiative with other municipalities in the region. “We want to conslidate our regional data and establish a vision for the region,” he said. “This will include regional land use, services and transportation. All the communities are coming together so we can share in the benefits of the overall growth in the region.” Shram said a new Official Community Plan and revised zoning bylaws will be on the ta-

eliminated and replaced with a monthly system for payment of property taxes. A new human resource policy was adopted by council this year. The city is also exploring options for offsite data management.

STREET UPGRADES

PROTECTIVE SERVICES

Warman City Councilor Zane Dmytryshyn, Chair of the city’s transportation committee, outlined the capital projects slated to be done this summer. These include several street upgrades including a stretch of Central Street between 1st Avenue and Crystal Springs Drive. A section of South Railway Street west of Industrial Road will be rebuilt and repaved. Access to businesses along that stretch of road will be maintained during construction. Centennial Boulevard will get improvements between Augusta Boulevard and the new intersection with Highway 305 whch will cost about $2 million. Dmytryshyn said the new highway is scheduled to be completed by this fall. Once the new highway is in, the city will evaluate traffic patterns and decide where traffic stoplights will need to be installed, he said.

MONTHLY TAX SYSTEM

Gary Philipchuk, Chair of City Council’s Administration Committee, said the retirement of two senior civic staff members last year resulted in the appointments of two new managers. Ivan Gabrysh (former city manager) and Judy Thurlow (former city finance manager) both retired last year. The new city manager, Stanley Westby, began his duties on January 2 of this year and Clae Hack assumed the post of finance manager earlier this spring. Philipchuk said the Warman City staff now numbers 57 employees. Philipchuk said the discount for early payment of taxes was

Trevor Peterson, Chair of the Protective Services Commitee, said the hiring of a new deputy fire chief and EMO coordinator in the past year have boosted the city’s capacity for emergency management. He also noted that the city is currently in discussions with the City of Martensville and with the Warman RCMP Detachment to explore the location of a new regional RCMP detachment headquarters. “We are hoping to keep the 24-hour policing structure that is currently in place,” said Peterson. “We feel it really works for our community, and we’re hoping to move forward on plans for a new building sooner rather than later.” Warman currently has eight RCMP officers assigned to cover the city. Martensville has seven officers and may be applying for another officer this summer. Staff Sgt. Kevin Weber of the Warman RCMP Detachment said there are a total of 28 members currently serving a wide area that stretches as far west as Radisson and Delisle. He noted that one of the priorities of the detachment in the coming year is to increase the presence of uniformed officers within the community. He said the detachment has one officer specifically assigned to work with each of the 28 schools within the detachment’s coverage area. One of the issues that is high on the police service radar is reducing the number of impaired drivers. Weber said a recent checkstop resulted in the arrest of six impaired drivers in a single hour.

Possibilities for previous city hall being explored By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

An architectural firm has been hired and is currently studying the potential for renovations to the old City Hall in Martensville. Maurice Soulodre, the architect who designed the new City Hall in Martensville, is reviewing plans for the old city hall with the RCMP to determine if it is feasible to invest in the building. The RCMP currently has an office in the rear portion of the building on Centennial Drive, and is looking to expand to accommodate a Victim Services office within the building. Scott Blevins, Martenvsille City Manager, reported to the May 20 Martensville City Council meeting that the

study should be ready in a few weeks.

CITY HALL LANDSCAPING

The tender for landscaping for the new City Hall closed on Tuesday, May 27. This tender covers the “hard landscaping” including the concrete and electrical work. The second tender, slated to close June 5, covers the “soft landscaping” which includes the trees, grass and sprinklers.

P3 SCHOOL SITE

Blevins reported to the May 20 meeting that the P3 school site planning is ongoing. Collector road options are being reviewed to ensure traffic movement is appropriate for the section of land where the school may be situated. The city is also work-

Warman youth pleads guilty to aggravated assault A 14-year-old Warman boy has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. The boy, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was orginally charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of a 13-year-old girl in Warman on September 13, 2013. He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge at a court hearing in Saskatoon on Tuesday, May 20. The teen is slated to have his sentencing hearing in Saskatoon on Tuesday, September 9. The teen and his victim, both students at Warman High School at the time of the assult, were known to each other. The name of the female victim cannot be released under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. While the details of the case are slated to be heard in court at the sentencing hearing in September, the “bare bones” of the incident were read into the court record by Crown Prosecutor Kim Humphries at the May 20 hearing. Humphries said the facts of the case are as follows: Around 10 o’clock p.m. on September 13, 2013, the boy went into a back alley in Warman where he encountered his victim. As

she stood facing him, he pointed past her and said: “What’s that?” When the girl turned to look, the boy put a knife to her throat and stabbed her. She reached up in an attempt to stop the attack and two of her fingers were cut. She tried to get away but the boy stabbed her in the back of the thigh and she fell to the ground. He continued to stab her, but she got up and ran to her backyard gate, whch was closed. The boy caught her by the hair and stabbed her again. She yelled for help, and when her grandmother came out to the yard the boy fled the scene. The victim suffered a number of stab wounds to her throat, one to her thigh and two to her stomach. One of her fingers was also partially severed and had to be surgically reattached. She has gone through three surgeries since the attack. Warman RCMP officers investigating the incident said drug or alcohol were not factors in the stabbing. The boy did not have any previous run-ins with the law. A pre-sentence report and secondary assessment for violence report are being completed for the sentencing hearing in September.

Donation to NICU helps cover cost of equipment By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A donation of over $28,000 will help the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Royal University Hospital (RUH) invest in a sophisticated identification system for breast milk destined for sick newborns. The funds for the identification system were raised by a pair of Martensville mothers, Amy Novakovski and Karey Gerber, who each had babies that required treatment at NICU. The moms felt so grateful for the care their babies received at the NICU that they decided to take on the challenge of raising funds for much-needed equipment and resources for the specialized care unit. A fundraising gala event was held earlier this spring which raised $28,290. A cheque in that amount was handed over to NICU Manager Rhonda Furber at RUH on Monday, May 26. This was the third year Novakovski and Gerber have organized a fundraising drive, but it’s not the last.

“We’re already planning for next year,” said Novakovski. “The fundraising drive is gathering steam through word of mouth, and every year more and more people are coming on board, so next year it should be bigger than ever.” Gerber said over the last three years, a cumulative total of about $55,000 has been raised for the NICU. It takes a lot of work and determination to pull in the donations, but it’s worth it, she said. “This money is designed to cover the little extra things that help the babies, the parents and the staff of the unit,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to contribute so the NICU doesn’t have to dip into its own funds to pay for these things.” Last year a donation of $21,000 went toward furniture and artwork in the NICU waiting room. This year the funds will be used to help pay for a “bar code” system designed to identify and track mothers’ breast milk for their newborn infants in the NICU. “Every mom that brings in

breast milk has to have her milk identified,” said Furber. “Breast milk is a body fluid, so there are issues. It’s important not to have any mix-ups.” Furber said there are many systems out there, and the NICU hasn’t determined which system it will use, but she’s confident the funds willl help pay for the system’s set-up costs. The NICU will pay for the ongoing maintenance costs. Furber, who has been manager of the NICU for the past 25 years, began working in the unit 33 years ago. She said one of the young nurses now working in NICU was herself a premature baby who received treatment at NICU when she was born. “One of my classmates in Nursing College had a preemie, who was very tiny,” said Furber. “Now that little girl, Stephanie, has grown up and works at NICU. It’s a great story.” Furber, who is set to retire from her position at the end of the year, said her career in NICU has been very rewarding.

Al’s star QB Calvillo to be keynote speaker at dinner By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Future Canadian Football League (CFL) Hall of Famer Anthony Calvillo is slated to be the keynote speaker at the 2014 Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman at the end of August. Warman Recreation Promotions and Marketing Coordinator Heather Chatfield revealed the lineup of sports celebrities scheduled to take the stage at the Legends Centre in Warman on Thursday, August 28. In addition to Calvillo, the list of well-known players includes Drew Doughty and Jarret Stoll of the Los Angeles Kings; legendary major league baseball player Tim Raines; and former Saskatchewan Roughrider all-star Rey Williams. Tickets for the event will go on sale in June, according to Chatfield. “We’re all pretty excited about having athletes of their stature coming to Warman,” said Chatfield. “It’s a great event that raises much-needed funds for the City of Warman’s

Anthony Calvillo recreational facilities and programs.” Tin Raines broke into major league baseball with the Montreal Expos in 1979 and played with that team until 1990. He returned to the Expos for one season in 2001, and also played for the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles and Florida Marlins before retiring in 2002. Anthony Calvillo played in the CFL for 20 seasons, most of them with the Montreal Alouettes, before retiring at the age of 41 in January of 2014. He won three Grey Cup championships: in 2002, 2009 and 2010. He is professional football’s

Hague playing host to 2014 Can-Am Bowl Game set for Saturday, July 5 By ROD ANDREWS

valleynews@sasktel.net

The football field at Hague High School will be hosting a major international event this summer when the 2014 Can-Am Bowl comes to town in July. Clay Kirby, coach of the Canadian Can-Am team, who is also principal of Hague High School, said the international six man football game is the 18th annual and will involve top players, graduated all-stars, from both the United States and Canada. Kirby said the actual CanAm game will take place on Saturday, July 5, but practices start Wednesday, July 2 and there will be three days of practices for both teams, plus various events and activities the team members will be participating in. One of the events is expected to be a 4th of July fireworks dis-

play honouring an American national holiday that is held on that date. Two kids from Hague have already made the Can-Am team and several from Rosthern could be on it. The Hague players tried out earlier this year, with Adam Friesen being selected as a defensive back and Luke Guenter also in that position. Both Hague students also played in last week’s Senior Bowl North-South Saskatchewan six man football game at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon, with Friesen being named to the Senior AllStar team by Football Saskatchewan and Guenter was elected as the North Team Captain by his teammates, which Kirby coached. “Five players from Rosthern are hoping to make the team,” said Kirby. Kirby said three of the Rosthern players were on an alternative service learning opportunities program in Ala-

bama with RJC when the first tryout camp was held. Morgan Klinger, who plays both offence and defense; Josh Isaak, quarterback/receiver and Jake Garnett, quarterback/receiver, all from RJC will try out during the six practices in the three days leading up to the game because they were unable to participate in the Senior Bowl. Other Rosthern players include Joel Peters, defensive back and Josh Thomas, offence, from Rosthern High School. These boys had their tryout by playing in the Senior Bowl and will find out if they made the Can-Am team this week. Kirby expects 40 players will be around for the three days of practices, half coming from the USA and the other half Canada. He expects most of the American players will be coming from Texas, where there is a big six man football league. In the past American players playing at Can-Am Bowls in Saskatchewan have also come from New Mexico, Montana,

all-time passing yards leader, and first in CFL all-time passing yards. He also won the CFL’s Most Valuable Player award three times: in 2003, 2008 and 2009. Williams, who won the Grey Cup in 2007 and 2013 with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, played six years in the CFL before retiring to become the Roughriders Director of Player Development. Drew Doughty and Jarret Stoll are both looking for another Stanley Cup ring with the Los Angeles Kings this season. Both were part of the 2012 edition of the Kings team which won the Stanley Cup, The Kings are currently playing the Chicago Black Hawks in the semi-final round of this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. Doughty, born in London, Ontario, is the Kings’ iron-man defense leader. He began his NHL career with the Kings in the 2008-09 season. Jarret Stoll, born in Melville, SK, broke into the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers in the 2005-06 season. He was traded to the Kings in the 2008-09 season.

Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. Saskatchewan normally hosts the Can-Am game because for the longest time they have been the only Canadian province with six man football. Alberta and Manitoba have recently started six man teams and some of their players may also make the team. The roster will not be finalized for awhile yet, as player selection and tryouts are still being held. The bowl was first held in July 1997 when an American all-star team made the trip to Canada to play a Saskatchewan all-star team in Porcupine Plain, which was actually hosted by Bjorkdale. Last year the game was held in Outlook. The coach of the American team is “Bear” Shawn Chesley from Texas, who has won three six man international championships.

Martensville’s Brett Boehm helps Terriers win RBC Championship year that sent him to the Terriers. Trent Cassan, head coach of the Yorkton Terriers, said he already had a good team before Boehm joined. Cassan said he was looking for a dynamic player who was dangerous offensively and Boehm didn’t disappoint. “Brett came in and did everything we expected of him. He was a game breaker,” said Cassan. “When we went to the Western Canada Cup in Dau-

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It was the most exciting three minutes of hockey Martensville’s Brett Boehm had ever played that saw his Yorkton Terriers come from behind in the dying minutes of the third period to win their very first RBC Cup Championship in Vernon, B.C. May 18. The Terriers defeated Ottawa’s Carlton Place Canadians 4-3 to win the championship after being down 3-1 heading into the third period of the national championship final. Boehm said there were players on his team, including himself, that would age out after this season. He said his team’s motivation in the third period was to lay it all on the line and play with no regrets. “We came out, had pressure all period and definitely outplayed them in the third. They had a couple of chances to probably seal the deal but our goalie kept us in there,” said Boehm. “We took a penalty with maybe six minutes left in the game, killed that off, scored a goal with just under three minutes left in the game. Then right off that face-off eight seconds later we ended up tieing it up.” Boehm said the bench was going crazy and Vernon’s fans

phin he scored nine goals and three assists in five games against some of the top teams to help us win the championship. The bigger the stage the better he got.” During the RBC tournament Boehm scored two goals and three assists. At a recent Terriers award banquet Boehm picked up four including Top Scorer for the Regular Season, Top Scorer for the Playoffs and MVP of the Western Canada Cup.

Boehm played all of his hockey in Martensville before suiting up to play AAA Midget for Beardy’s Blackhawks before joining the Flin Flon Bombers. He was a listed player for a year with the Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips before the Calgary Hitman listed him in his last year with the Blackhawks.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Warm Weather is Here! Many people will be enjoying the lakes this summer on boats. Please remember to wear a life jacket while boating. The Small Vessel Regulations under the Canada Shipping Act make it law to have a personal flotation device or lifejacket for each person on board. Wearing your lifejacket increases your chances of survival should you become unconscious in the water. Be Safe and enjoy the water!

National pride on the line as Can Am Bowl comes to Hague ed the support of former Hague Panther players who have played with the Hilltops and Huskie football teams to help him as assistant coaches. Three other coaches from three other schools will coach the offense and defence. Kirby is the special teams coach and head coach. In addition, Kirby pointed out that the Hague community is getting behind the big event. He said while the event will be independent from Prairie Spirit School Division, the school division has agreed to let the players stay in the Hague school complex, with the Canadian team being housed in the library and the USA team in the mini-gym. Two mothers, Rhonda Dueck and Lynn Friesen, are heading up a cooking crew that will be feeding the 50 players and coaches over the four days. He said volunteers are need-

ed to help the two women and, as well, additional volunteers are needed to stage the event. Anyone who would like to volunteer can contact Kirby at Hague High School, 306-2252232. Each of the players involved in the event will be paying a fee to participate with Kirby estimating that the local organizers will have to put up around $10,000 to stage the event in Hague. “We are looking for corporate sponsors to help with fundraising and if anyone could help, we would appreciate that,” he noted. Already the school has received one very special “present” to help with the big game. At the present time Gordie Howe Bowl in Saskatoon is undergoing renovations and some “parts” from the old stadium have been given away to communities who applied for the items. Kirby said since the school

just received a $5,000 scoreclock thanks to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, he wanted something else and applied for the football uprights that were at Gordie Howe, and will be coming to Hague. He expects the new uprights, which have just one pole each, will be installed sometime in June and will be ready for the big game July 5. In addition to the game itself, Kirby said the players will have a chance to get out and do some golfing on July 3 and there will be a softball game between the USA and Canada teams on July 4, before the fireworks A Can-Am Alumni Flag Football Game will be played on July 3, with an alumni social taking place that day as well. Game day opening ceremonies will start at 1:00 pm, with the kickoff at 1:30 pm and the awards ceremony taking place after the game.

Boehm will never forget his teammates

nesota-Duluth last fall he decided to pursue a degree in business while playing for the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. A Tier I school, whose alumni has included NHL Hall of Famer Brett Hull and current assistant coach of the San Jose Sharks Jim Johnston. Boehm said he will never forget his Terrier teammates, who he explained were more like brothers than teammates. He also praised minor hockey in Martensville as one of the reasons for his success besides his parents, friends and great coaches he had along the way. Cassan said Boehm’s skillset will be a huge asset for the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. “They have a very strong program and he is going to be playing against some of the top college players in the United States,” said Cassan. “He will go there and continue to improve. It is time for him to make the jump to the next level.”

Completion of new fire hall in Osler getting closer including replacing a number of 2-inch waterlines with 6-inch waterlines. The town is also into the last few years of paying off the debentures on its new water treatment plant. Buhler said the longer projects are put off, the more expensive they will be. “Prices have doubled since 2006,” he said. “The sooner people get on board, the more economical it’s going to be for everybody.” Buhler said he’s hopeful the improvements to the streets can begin this year. “This is our third kick at the can,” he said. “I know some people are opposed to it, but I also get an equal number of people saying:

‘Pave my street.’ I think we really need pavement in those areas if we’re going to continue to grow as a community. People expect to see paved streets.”

NEW FIRE HALL

The town intends to borrow funds to complete the second phase of its new fire hall. “We have a commitment from the firefighters that they will fundraise to raise approximately $20,000 annually for the next ten years,” said MacArthur. “The balance will be covered by the town’s tax base. It will be a ten-year debenture if the province grants us permission.” Jason Pauls, a member of

PUBLIC NOTICE RM of Montrose No. 315

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the RM of Montrose No. 315 intends to·consider the adoption of three bylaws under The Planning and Development Act, 2007. The RM will establish a new Official Community Plan, a new Zoning Bylaw and a new Fees Bylaw. Intent: The proposed Official Community Plan bylaw will establish municipal land use policies, goals and objectives. The proposed Zoning Bylaw will implement land use policies, establish zoning districts, prescribe permitted and discretionary uses within each zoning district, establish a development permitted process, prescribe a process for appeals and provide a provision for amendments. The proposed Fees Bylaw will establish fees for planning and development services. Affected Land: The proposed Official Community Plan, Zoning Bylaw and Fees Bylaw will affect all land within the incorporated area of the Rural Municipality. Reason: The Official Community Plan will provide the Rural Municipality with direction on development decisions and municipal goals. The Zoning Bylaw will help direct and manage growth and development within the Rural Municipality. The Fees Bylaw will provide for the users of specific services paying towards the cost of those services. Public Inspection: Any person may inspect the proposed bylaws at the RM office during normal office hours. Copies of the bylaws and Zoning Map are available on-line at the municipal web site at www.rmmontrose.ca or at the RM office for a fee. Public Hearing: Council will hold a public hearing on June 23rd at 7:00 p.m. in the evening. The public hearing will be held at the RM fire hall.

Issued at the RM of Montrose No. 315 on May 22, 2014. Ray French, Administrator

Osler Town Council and Osler Fire Chief, said the sod-turning for the new fire hall was an exciting event, and noted the first phase of construction is now completed. “Phase 1 is the concrete and heaters and electrical and lights on the garage side where the trucks will be parked, as well as the exterior, interior drywalling and insulation,” said Pauls. “Phase 2 will be tendered next month. That will in-

clude the offices, the training room upstairs, the washrooms and the concrete pad outside the big doors so we can get out of the building without getting stuck in the mud.” Pauls said the total cost of the new fire hall is about $1.37 million. In 2014, the department is also looking forward to the installation of a new radio tower to improve communications capabilities.

Delisle awards ‘Crops for Community’ grants Submitted by

CURT GESSELL

Delisle Crops for Community

Recreation groups in Delisle have something to cheer about as they get ready for another season of summer sports activities. The fundraising project, Delisle Crops for Community (DCFC) has awarded grant money to four different groups which will assist them with improving recreation facilities in the community. Recipients were required to complete and submit an application form to the committee by February 1st. “We had a number of quality applications from members in our town, and it made selecting the recipients a very tough decision,” says committee president Shawn Colborn. The committee used a scoring system to rate each application against ten different criteria. Criteria included broad community support for the project, ability for the project to access additional grant money and community volunteerism for the project, to name a few. The 2013 wheat crop was a great success and afforded the committee an opportunity to

award $58,500 in total grant money. Recipients of the grant money include Delisle Minor Ball Association (DMBA), Delisle Minor Football, North End Community Park Association and the Elementary School Community Council. Projects being spearheaded by these organizations include major upgrades to ball facilities, construction of bleachers for the football field and the construction of fences for two of the parks in the community. “Funding provided by Crops for Community will allow Minor Ball to proceed with much needed diamond and facility upgrades,” notes Shelley Worth, Minor Ball executive member. “All members of the community stand to benefit from an improved ball park.” Money awarded by the DCFC committee will cover a good portion of each of the project’s costs, but some fundraising by each group will still be needed. Volunteer labor for the projects will also be a key component in making the projects a success, but that’s nothing new for this town. “Residents of this community have always been great to

roll up their sleeves, and just get the work done,” says mayor Dave Anderchek. The skating rink, seniors’ centre, nine-hole golf course, and a park residents built last summer, are just some of the many examples of what volunteers have built for the town. “It’s just part of what you do when you live in a rural community,” notes Anderchek. Work on these projects should begin in the upcoming months, as all projects need to be completed prior to winter. Each of the successful applicants have been notified of their funding amount and are required to sign a funding agreement, which outlines certain terms and conditions that the recipients must follow. Projects are required to be completed within one year, and a final report must be submitted to the committee upon completion of the project. “We are truly excited to see these projects get off the ground this summer,” comments Colborn. “We also encourage groups who might want to apply for funding next year, to start the planning process well in advance of next year’s application deadline.”

Ideal Transformation! I am a mother of 3, and for years my weight has been a roller coaster. I have tried all of the popular diets out there, but was never happy with the way I felt or the end result. When I heard about Ideal Protein and the transformations I was seeing in my friends I was eager to join!! Once I started I was shocked how much sugar and carbs I was consuming and what that does to my body. When I changed my eating habits I was surprised how my body reacted....carbs/sugars are like a drug. I was in withdrawal!!! When my body switched into Ketosis I found my cravings disappeared and I didn’t feel hungry all the time.

After Before

I started to lose fairly quickly, but was more amazed by the way my body was transforming. I was losing the fat not the muscle. My “problem areas” were diminishing and the inches were coming off. I also started to have energy again and found it easier and more enjoyable to play with my kids. I am at my goal weight now and have transitioned through the phases. With there being so much temptation and social gatherings focused around food and drink, I find the daily coaching e-mails motivating to keep going and stay on track! I found the food to be tasty as well! I always look forward to my little treat in the evening, this way I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself. I am thankful that I found Ideal Protein. It has given me back my positive attitude and the love for life! Sincerely,

Turn old or discarded furniture, cabinets and doors into fresh new creations through “upcycling”, a high-end “recycling”. Upcycling has many benefits such as reducing trash at landfills, enhancing the value of the item and budget friendly options to satisfy all home decorators. Here are some ideas to get you started. Family furniture: Save chairs, tables, and other furniture passed down through

the generations by doing repairs, if needed, and staining/ painting to suit your current decor. Yard sale finds: These also can be stabilized and given a new look through stain/paint or distressing, but some may also lend themselves to transformation for other uses, such as turning a chest of drawers into bookshelves, a chair into a swing, a dresser into a seat, and more.

Doors and more: Solid wood doors make great tops for tables and kitchen islands, old-fashioned screen doors hung from the ceiling can store pots and pans, and old windows make attractive wall hangings used “as is” or with additions, such as photos. Cabinets: Change the look of your kitchen, bathroom or workshop with a new color for your cabinets and new handles and pulls.

Daytime drowsiness Do you find yourself reaching for a can of soda or a cup of coffee during the day to banish fatigue? Many do. But you may want to grab a bottle of water instead. Research indicates that lack of water is the

No. 1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Therefore, not only can drinking adequate supplies of water keep you refreshed, it can also help to keep you more awake — even during a boring business meeting.

TWO LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU BETTER

This question may be something a coach would ask their athlete, leading up to the all important: “Can you still play?” An ‘injury’ is damage to the body where tissues will display some of the following signs: • Swelling • Discoloration (Bruising/Bleeding) • Heat • Pain • Reduced movement/function Sometimes it is easy to see these signs. For example, a freshly sprained ankle has the ability to swell within seconds and will quickly result in reduced movement. This is an injury and needs treatment. It is possible to be ‘hurt’ without being injured. Headaches, bumping your toe or having a sore spot may not be damage to the body but it is important to know how it can affect your function. If the ‘hurt’ slows you down or keeps you from doing what you like or need to do, then it is best to get this checked out by a Physiotherapist - or by a doctor if it is serious. A physiotherapist will answer the question: “are you injured?” or “are you hurt?”, and more importantly – “can you still play?”

Pet Health

5 fabulous ingredients for your pet’s diet We’ve all heard about super foods that we should be adding to our diet because of their antioxidant and nutrient-rich properties, but did you know there are similar foods for our pets, too? Pumpkin We know that pumpkins are great for carving and delicious in pies, but pumpkin also is a source of fiber for pets that is high in vitamin A and betacarotene. Cranberries For many of the same reasons that they are good for

Cork -

humans, cranberries also are good for our pets. They are high in anti-oxidants and also are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese, which aids in pet urinary tract health. Papaya This delicious and exotic tropical fruit is rich in vitamin B, which aids in cell metabolism, and contains papain, an enzyme that can help in a pet’s digestion. Chickpeas Many of us enjoy chickpeas in salads, hummus and falafel

balls. They also are good for our pets because they are rich in prebiotics, which stimulate the activity of bacteria in the digestive system and aid healthy digestion. Cottage cheese This versatile food is a good source of riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus and selenium for our pets. Cottage cheese contains only small amounts of lactose, so a very small amount would not be an issue for intolerant dogs.

Be careful about the treats tossed to your puppy. Many dog owners are tempted to toss their pet a treat once in a while, but they should be careful it’s not doing more harm than good. Michele Dixon, a health and nutrition specialist with Petcurean, says foods like grapes, nuts, chocolate and cooked bones are definite no-no items that can harm your pet. She suggests opting for treats like carrots or apples, which have terrific health benefits.

Over the last several years, homeowners have increasingly looked for ways to make their homes more environmentally friendly. From more complicated projects such as installing eco-friendly home fixtures to simpler measures like replacing incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescent lightbulbs that consume far less energy, the options for eco-conscious homeowners are numerous. Perhaps no eco-friendly home improvement has garnered more attention and acclaim in recent years than cork flooring. Because only the bark of a cork tree is harvested to produce cork flooring, the cork tree can continue to flourish after the product is removed. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency notes that even after cork is initially harvested from a cork

oak tree, that tree will likely live another 100-120 years and can continue to be harvested every 9-12 years. What’s more, cork is extracted entirely by hand, without any machinery that might potentially harm the environment. Homeowners who have chosen cork often cite its structure as one of its most appealing qualities. Because it is soft, cork flooring has a cushioning effect that is both comfortable and helps reduce noise around the home. In addition, air cells within the cork help trap heat, meaning cork flooring acts as an insulator that can help homeowners reduce energy consumption while lowering their heating bills along the way. But as benefi-

cial as cork can be around the house, it’s no longer restricted to flooring. That’s thanks in large part to New Yorkbased entrepreneur and environmentalist Michelle Brown, who discovered cork on a trip to Portugal, where the versatile eco-friendly material was used to create a host of products. “(In Portugal) I was introduced to items made from cork and couldn’t understand why this amazing resource was vastly underused,” says Brown, who soon decided to bring this versatile material to the American market-

place. Within two years of her trip to Portugal, Brown had done just that, founding All Cork, which produces eco-friendly and vegan handbags and other fashion accessories for men and women that are lightweight, durable, and stain- and water-resistant. Produced during a detailed and labor intensive process, All Cork’s products are proof that cork’s longstanding appeal is now stretching beyond flooring and into fashion. “Cork has evolved far beyond its traditional uses, and the possibilities for this leather alternative are endless,” says Brown. “I am excited and extremely proud to be a part of the movement towards ecofriendly fashion.”

The Little Mermaid comes to Prairie View School

Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. is playing at Prairie View School starting on Thursday May 29 at 7:00 p.m., Friday May 30 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday May 31 at 1:00 p.m.. The musical, designed for middle-school aged performers, is based on the 2008 Broadway production and the 1989 animated feature film. The cast contains approximately 40 students from grades one through six and are led by producers Roxanne Bitner and Scott Burant. This classic Disney title contains all of the songs from the Academy Award® winning animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. The Little Mermaid Jr. takes place in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, the king of the sea, escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she’s the girl with the perfect voice. Tickets are available from the school office and include assigned seating. Admission is $10.00 per ticket or $5.00 per ticket (12 and under). The production is Prairie School Fine Arts Club seventh musical production. Previous productions of Annie Jr. (2000), Music Man Jr. (2003), Disney’s Aladdin Jr. (2006), Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka Jr. (2008), Seussical Jr. (2010) and the Back to Broadway (2012) have provided an opportunity for students in kindergarten to grade six to amaze audiences with their exceptional talent. Students audition for parts of the cast and apply for crew positions. With the guidance of a team of adult volunteers, students lead the way to putting on a truly professional production.

Double Vision offers an entertaining blend of comedy and magic By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

“My name is Michael…. and I’m Mitchell, and together we are Double Vision in stereo, stereo, stereo, that’s Dolby surround sound, sound, sound, sound….” If you’ve never experienced double vision, that is about to change. The show Double Vision features twins who perform a one-of-a-kind blend of comedy and magic that uses improv, audience participation and award-winning magic. Double Vision will perform for Dalmeny Days at the J. J. Loewen Centre on June 7 at 8:00 p.m. Double Vision is Canada’s only identical twin comedy magic act. When Michael and Mitchell perform, you’ll not only see double, you’ll hear double, since they will break into stereo-speak at some point. Over 25 years of professional experience, Double Vision has performed across North America, offering comedy that is “clean enough to eat off of.” It’s the ultimate tag-teaming situation. The twins play off each other and the audience with quick wit and razor sharp exchanges. “Probably the best thing

about our show is our interaction with the audience. They don’t just come to our show, sit there and watch, they actually become part of the show. We actually go into the crowd and talk to people,” says Double Vision. “It’s a combination of a magic show, with some effects done silently to music, and it’s improv too, because you never know what someone’s going to say on stage, so we just go from there.” Double Vision has performed at the Magic Castle in the heart of Hollywood, California, at corporate events from Vancouver and Montreal to Arizona and South Carolina, state fairs and more. But the duo especially remembers the night they hobnobbed with the higher echelons of power. “Probably one of our highlights would be performing for the Prime Minister at 24 Sussex Drive. That was fun! We ate dinner in the back yard, so it was quite the deal, and we got a tour of the house after we were done.” They joked with Laureen Harper and said they didn’t let Stephen Harper talk. These “womb-mates” have been working together since birth. Mike is older by five minutes. “Yeah, I came outta there

and told them to close it up.” To which Mitchell retorts, “Then Mike had to stick his foot out. I had a big footprint on my forehead when Mike pushed off.” But in the beginning there was one. Mike started doing magic as a hobby and then Mitchell got into it. “We actually divided magic into two parts,

I was doing nothing but card tricks and Mike did everything else. We did it that way on purpose so we could still fool each other,” laughs Mitchell. Sometimes they have creative differences on what direction to take in the show. So they try it one way and then another way, and let ideas evolve from show to

Twin brothers Michael and Mitchell are “Double Vision”

show. This summer Double Vision is heading down to the states to a couple of state fairs. One of them is in Columbus, Ohio, one of the largest fairs in the country. “We did the Columbus fair last year and they had 100,000 people a day. We do nothing but stage shows - three shows a day.” “All kinds of things happen in our show, usually from people on the stage doing bizarre things, things that are unpredictable, where the audience helps to create unique moments of humour that everyone participates in. Magic has that surprise element to it.” Forget your troubles for a while and settle into a mysterious evening of laughs with Double Vision comedy and magic. “We’re like happiness in a bottle, or maybe sunshine in a bottle (do I hear moonshine?)” This evening of family entertainment featuring Double Vision Magic and the Budd Family Band runs from 7 – 9 p.m. on June 7 and is open to everyone. Tickets are available at Dalmeny Drugs for $20 for adults, $10 for ages 13-18, and children 12 and under are free.

Saskatchewan Party MLA and Minister of Central Services, Nancy Heppner was nominated as the Saskatchewan Party candidate in Martensville-Warman for the next provincial election. The party’s nomination meeting took place in Osler on Thursday, May 22. “I am humbled at the overwhelming support the constituents have provided both me and our government,” Heppner said. “Knowing that I can be the voice for my constituents and help to improve their lives and communities makes me want to continue to work hard on their behalf.” Heppner developed an interest in politics at an early age. Daughter of Ben Heppner, she quickly became devoted to listening to the needs of fellow

constituents. In 2001, Heppner began her career in politics, working as the constituency assistant for Carol Skelton. She later moved to Ottawa to work as Carol Skelton’s legislative assistant on Parliament Hill. Remaining in Ottawa, Heppner worked for the Leader of the Official Opposition as the question period coordinator until 2005. Following her work on the 2006 federal election, Heppner was named to the Issues Management team for the Right Honourable Stephen Harper in the Prime Minister’s Office. Subsequently, Heppner served as Director of Communications for the Minister of Canadian Heritage before returning home to Saskatchewan. Heppner was first elected to the Legislature as the MLA for

Martensville in the March 2007 provincial by-election and was re-elected in the general elections of 2007 and 2011. From 2007 to 2010, she served as the Minister of Environment and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Water Corporation, Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, and the Water Appeal Board. In May 2012, Premier Brad Wall appointed Heppner Minister of Central Services, Minister Responsible for the Public Service Commission, and Minister Responsible for the Lean Initiative. She is a member of the Sub-Committee on Public Sector Bargaining, a member of the Board of Internal Economy, Vice-Chair of Treasury Board, and Vice-Chair of Investment Board.

Asquith Fire Dept raises funds for equipment Submitted by

Asquith Fire Department

The Asquith Fire Department, in conjunction with the Asquith First Responders, hosted their second Pig Roast Supper and Auction on April 12, 2014. The fundraising event was held at the Twilight Hall and featured a beautifully prepared roast pig for supper followed by a live auction. Auction items, as well as monetary donations, were contributed by local (and not so local) businesses, organizations, groups and people. The response from our sponsors in support of the Asquith Fire Department/Asquith First Responder’s fundraising initiatives was, and always has been, overwhelming and humbling. The men and women of the As-

Play it safe

Rabies is a real danger, health official warns By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

When John Hanbidge saw a skunk walking erratically across the playground of the South Corman Park School recently, he was pretty sure it exhibited the telltale signs of being rabid. Fortunately, there were no schoolchildren in the vicinity at the time. From the schoolyard the skunk wandered into a nearby field, where it attempted to attack a coyote, according to Hanbidge. He followed the skunk at a safe distance in his truck to his neighbour’s yard, where he was able to shoot the animal dead. The brain of the skunk was later tested by Prairie Diagnostics and was positively identified as having the rabies virus. Hanbidge said he’s concerned about the safety of residents, particularly children and youth, who may not be aware of the dangers posed by wild animals. “At this time of year, actually at any time of year, most of the skunks that are tested are rabid,” said Hanbidge in an interview on Friday, May 16. He felt the Saskatoon Health Region should have tested the dead skunk to determine if it was rabid. He urged parents to warn their children not to approach any animals, particularly those that may be wild, because of the danger of being bitten.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Saskatoon Health Region Deputy Medical Health Officer Dr. Shovita Padhi said the health region shares Hanbidge’s concern over the safety of people coming into contact with wild animals that may be rabid. “It’s an issue that may sur-

face in the spring, when you tend to see animals like foxes and skunks out more,” said Padhi in an interivew May 16. “But it’s really an issue that is a concern year-round.” Padhi said rabies is quite common in bats. She said the role of the health region is determined by the provincial Public Health Act, and noted that testing is warranted only if there is deemed to be a real risk to the public. “We investigate all bites and scratches that humans have encountered,” she said. “As part of this investigation, we do a risk assesment as to the exposure to determine whether the person could be at risk for getting rabies. Some of the things we look at in the investigation are the type of animal that bites the person. For example, there is less risk from a neighbour’s pet dog that has its rabies shot up to date, than there is a from a bite by a bat or a skunk.” Padhi said if possible, an animal control officer will capture the animal that bit the person. “If we have the animal and it is captured alive, we will observe it for ten days,” she said. “The reason is that if an animal is truly rabid, it dies within three or four days. If the animal survives for ten days, it is very unlikely that it has rabies.” If the animal that bit a person is found dead or has been shot, the head of the animal is sent for testing. If it tests positive for rabies, the person who was bitten is given a shot to protect them from the virus. The health region only gives shots if it deems there is a “true risk exposure.” “Sometimes there is no risk at all,” said Padhi. “If no one is scratched or bitten, then the animal is not tested.” Padhi said the provincial

Agriculture Ministry has a surveillance program to monitor outreaks of rabies, and issues notices if certain species are exhibiting signs of the disease in any areas. She said the best piece of advice for the public is to use common sense when it comes to wild animals. “Don’t approach any wild animals, or even any unknown animals,” she said. “That includes keeping your children from unknown dogs in the park. Animals are animals, and you never know how they’re going to react. If you don’t know the animal, then don’t go near it.” The second piece of advice is to observe any odd behaviour or signs that an animal may be sick. “If you do see an animal that looks sick in your back yard or you find a bat in your home, or things like that, call your local animal control or conservation noficer,” said Padhi. “Don’t approach it yourself.” The third tip is aimed at pet owners. “Make sure you have your cats and dogs immunized,” she said. “They will give you a circle of protection. Farm animals in particular need to be immunized. They tend to interact with skunks and foxes and other animals, so it’s really important that they are protected, because that gives you, as the owner, a layer of protection as well.” Padhi said if someone is bitten by an animal, they should seek immediate medical attention. In the event they cannot get to a clinic where they can get appropriate medical care, they should wash out the wound with soap and water for at least five minutes, and then seek medical help at the earliest possible opportunity.

RM to discuss partnership to develop portion of Township Road 390 By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is helping to put the wheels in motion to help support an idea for a fire fighting training on a 10- acre parcel of land northeast of Martensville. At the May 20 council meeting, Russ Austin, deputy fire chief for the City of Warman made a delegation to council with the expectation that the RM would support the idea. Austin told council that there was support from the City of Warman and City of Martensville for the training area. Last year the City of Martensville put $50,000 into development of that land, which included scraping a 200 by 400 area and bringing in some base gravel to level it. The North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA)is also discussing developing the 10-acre parcel for the training area. The NCPFCA is a mutual-aid oragnization made up of fire departments in Osler, Dalmeny, Langham, Martensville and Warman. The problem is accessing the property via a portion of Township Road 390. “I can’t get down a certain portion of Range Road 390, when there is frost, rain, or even on a good day with a 30,000 pound fire truck,” said Austin. The part of the road causing concern is a 300 to 400 metre portion west of the Water Fill Station. Austin said the portion of road would need culverts, base gravel to build up the road and a layer of gravel on top to allow fire trucks to drive on it safely. To compensate, firefighters have to drive down Township Road 305, down Highway 12, through the City of Martensville, down 9th Avenue North and then cut back up a mile to get to the training grounds, said Austin. Austin said he has been talking to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure about the road and was told that south of what would be the training area property, there is a old provincial gravel pit. With contractors already in the area building the new Highway 305 the Ministry told Austin that there might be the opportunity to help lay some gravel on Range Road 390. Austin said the road upgrade could possibly be a P3 project.

Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga said having accessible gravel is promising and immediately made a motion to direct administration to see if a partnership involving the RM of Corman Park, City of Warman, City of Martensville, NCPFCA and the province could determine the possibilities for this road. Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen agreed with Froese-Kooijenga, noting the RM has a vested interest with the water station and with fire departments in Corman Park. “If the province is willing to give us some dirt then I think that is pretty significant,” said Janzen. “It will give both cities the opportunity to show how well they can work together.” Austin said the RM of Corman Park and the NCPFCA have a great relationship with the province and it is probably one of the most respected group of fire departments in the province as far as being able to work together. A potential important partner in the development of the training area is the City of Saskatoon, said Austin. “It is my understanding and it is not totally set in stone, but they have a quarter of a million dollar simulated flash over chamber that they are not allowed to use within the city limits and they instructors in place to use it,” said Austin. Austin said the city is receptive to the idea of possibly setting up the chamber in the proposed training area in Martensville. There are other benefits for a partnership with the City of Saskatoon in terms of scheduled use of the training area in Martensville,” said Austin “In Saskatoon full time fire fighters train during the day and volunteer fire fighters train in the evenings and weekends. We would never meet on the training grounds,” said Austin. Austin said in exchange, when the City of Saskatoon builds its $1.2 million coverall facility in the north end of Saskatoon, volunteer firefighters in the NCPFCA could train in the facility on evenings and weekends during the winter months. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said having the City of Saskatoon on side is a significant piece of the puzzle. Council passed a motion for administration to investigate a partnership to develop the requested portion of Range Road 390.
