High: 22 Low: 10 Sunrise: 4:48 Sunset: 9:24

The Government of Saskatchewan announced the introduction of two new traffic safety enforcement units that it hopes will keep Saskatchewan people safer on provincial roadways.

The announcement was made during a press conference at the Saskatoon Police Service headquarters, June 2, which included Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell, the Minister Responsible for SGI Donna Harpauer, RCMP Division Assistant Commissioner Brenda Butterworth-Carr and Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill.

Each unit will consist of 30 officers, 15 from existing provincially funded positions and 15 new officers funded by SGI at a cost of $2.4 million dollars.

The two units will begin operating in central and southwest Saskatchewan on June 27.

Minister Tell said in 2012, 17 people per 100,000 were killed in traffic related collisions in Saskatchewan and that the province has one of the worst rates of injury and collision on its highways.

“With these two units announced here today this commitment now includes traffic safety,” said Tell. “A great traffic enforcement presence on our high risk roadways is vital to enhance the safety of our citizens.”

Minister Harpauer said the new legislation addresses the top contributing factors for fatal accidents in our province, which include impaired driving, distracted driving (cell phones), and excessive speed.

Harpauer said drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs,will face longer licence suspensions and will have their vehicles seized at roadside. Distracted drivers and drivers caught speeding excessively will also have their vehicles seized.

Butterworth-Carr said some of the consistent areas of concern in Saskatchewan are the Battlefords, Saskatoon, Regina, Estevan and Weyburn.

Both the Saskatoon Police Service and RCMP consistently work together on initiatives including the combined forces special enforcement unit, the

internet child exploitation unit, community mobilization, the serious offender comprehensive action program and enhanced investigations.

Butterworth-Carr hopes this announcement will allow both police forces to combine once again to hopefully decrease the rate of collisions and prevent fatalities from occurring.

“We do extremely well now with our combined forces special enforcement and other initiatives we have throughout the province,” said ButterworthCarr. “This is another great opportunity for us to look at how we can be seamless in our integration.”

Weighill said he constantly attends events in Saskatoon on the topic of public safety and said people don’t seem to get it.

“Already in Saskatoon we have had seven fatalities just in the city,” said Weighill. “We see driving behaviours specifically in the municipality where cities are growing and people can’t get around as quickly as they used to so they try to make up time by driving erratically.”

Weighill said the City of Saskatoon alone has 44 positions funded by the province, in addition to four people working in victims services and aboriginal victim services. He said this announcement adds an extra level for traffic safety.

Weighill said in an ideal world it would be nice to have every highway twinned and overpasses everywhere to cut down on collisions in dangerous Saskatoon intersections such as Marquis Drive and 71st Street.

“I think you still have to hold people accountable for their driving habits,” said Weighill.

“Enforcement and an increased police presence are the tools that we have to work with right now.”

Heppner said she has been in conversation with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and indicated that planning work has been started on adding more overpasses on Saskatchewan highways.

She is unsure of their exact locations, but said each one will cost the province about 40 million dollars apiece, which also may be associated with the planning for the Perimeter Highway.

SARM pushes to have road damage funding policy changed

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) is currently lobbying the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MOHI) to update its policy for road damage funding, based on information released at the RM of Corman Park Council Meeting May 20.

According to council documents a number of roads in the RM of Corman Park have been damaged in recent years due to rerouting of traffic on provincial highways during major construction projects.

Over the years funding from the ministry has been extremely limited and in many cases no compensation has been given.

Currently the MOHI provides compensation for damage caused during the first two days of any major construction project and does not recognize contributions made by munic-

ipalities to repair roads damaged as a result.

SARM wants to ensure that RM’s are fairly compensated after these events. Damaged roads the RM is currently getting SARM to look at include Baker Road, Clarence Ave and Cartwright Street.

Adam Tittemore, administrator for the RM of Corman Park, said conversations with the province are going well.

“The people who are dealing with the province on it feel pretty positive about it,” said Tittemore. “There are a number of the RMs who are having consistent issues with this.

It may be a bit of a wait but we are hopeful something can be done.”

Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park, said funding for damaged roads is not a new issue.

“We have been trying to get money for a long time,” said Harwood.

ALCOHOL BLAMED FOR CRASH

A member of the Langham Fire Department assists in the departure of STARS while other firefighters continue to secure a half ton truck following a two-vehicle crash on Highway 16 at the west end of the Borden Bridge on Saturday morning, May 31. According to Warman RCMP, a westbound 2002 Jeep Cherokee driven by a 19-year-old male from North Battleford slammed into an unoccupied 1997 Chev pickup truck parked on the shoulder of the highway. The driver and lone occupant of

TERRY JENSON | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

of the Jeep refused medical treatment from MD Ambulance and police have determined that alcohol consumption played a factor in the crash.

STARS was called to the scene for a short time but firefighters were able to determine no one was trapped inside the truck. Westbound traffic on the highway was halted for just over an hour while police and rescue crews investigated the cause of the collision and cleaned up the area. Charges are pending against the driver of the Jeep.

‘Five per quarter’ zoning bylaw approved by Corman Park

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park passed three readings on a revised five per quarter amendment to zoning bylaws 22/13 and 23/13 during its council meeting May 20.

Adam Tittmore, administrator for the RM of Corman Park, said last year Council passed a bylaw that would allow for five parcels per quarter versus the current two per quarter severances.

The only problem was after the RM sent the bylaw to the province it was sent back indicating that it wanted to see more consultations with area municipalities about the change.

Since that time RM administration has met with a number of stakeholders to further understand their concerns In January council attended an inter-agency meeting to discuss concerns with the affected ministries, which include Community Planning, Urban

Municipalities, Water Security Agency, Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and Intensive Livestock Operations.

COMMUNITY PLANNING

Community Planning noted there were a number of inconsistencies with the proposed amendments relative to allowing for subdivisions on the quarter section. Administration made minor amendments and provided clarity on how many subdivisions are allowed for building sites and identification of a remnant building site.

Community planning also raised concerns with the severed parcels policy which would allow for additional residences in a quarter section and asked council to reconsider this policy to encourage consolidation with adjacent lands similar to existing official community plan policy.

URBAN MUNICIPALITIES

All six urban municipalities within the RM stated their concerns of the effect five par-

cels per quarter would have on their future growth plans, infrastructure and servicing.

The RM recommended resolving this issue by creating an overlay area related to the proposed Saskatoon Regional Growth and Development Plan where five per quarter is not allowed.

Urban Municipalities did say that they would endeavour through the regional plan process to create policies that may allow for five parcels per quarter in the future.

The Town of Langham was concerned about the effect this policy change would have on the relocation of their lagoon that would take place in 3-5 years. As a result they have asked for a consultation buffer of 5-8 km around Langham with the north side of Highway 16 included in their critical areas of concern.

The town also felt that council should consider similar overlays that would restrict five per quarter around the Towns of Langham and Dalmeny rel-

ative to their future growth areas or critical infrastructure.

WATER SECURITY AGENCY

The WSA was concerned about the impact increased development in the flood plain will have on upstream flood levels due to additional built up yard sites, roads, driveways.

The WSA stated that they have a fairly good idea of the flow modeling with two per quarter but they do not have the confidence with the flow modeling at five per quarter and are not comfortable making the same assumptions with increased development.

WSA recommended jointly undertaking hydrologic modeling with five per quarter in order to allow for this level of development in the flood plain.

MINISTRY OF HIGHWAYS

The Ministry of Highways and infrastructure raised concerns about increased pressure to the existing municipal and provincial transportation systems.

Some of their concerns included additional obstructions in the rights-of-way when improving/upgrading infrastructure, additional requirements for service roads or passing and turning lanes, additional costs, rerouting of traffic near temporary highway access points when they are closed.

They also had concerns with increased access points to and from municipal road allowances onto provincial highways.

The MOHI recommended that the RM should revise its bylaws to alleviate their concerns.

LIVESTOCK OPERATORS

Intensive livestock operators had concerns about the impact five per quarter would have on the expansion of existing ILOs and the impact on manure management areas for existing operations.

Ideally ILO operators would like to have limited development around these operations from an operator’s standpoint.

To come up with a solution

RM administration reviewed best practices from Manitoba related to manure management practices and setbacks.

Administration recommended that council should add management policies that would require the operators to indicate their manure management lands when applying for an ILO permit or if the lands they spread on change.

Some of these issues were also brought up at a Regional Planning for Growth meeting held in Warman at the end of April.

Tittemore said discussions with municipalities and provincial agencies have been positive.

“All of those meetings are going well,” said Tittemore. “Everyone is trying to work regionally and not have an impact on growth as much as possible.”

During the May 20 Council Meeting, Council held a public hearing for the five per quarter amendments, but no one stepped forward to present any concerns.

Dundurn Elementary students learn lessons outside the classroom through geocaching

By JAMES TARRANT

Public Notice Bylaw 2014-09

james@ccgazette.ca

Dundurn Elementary students have had the opportunity to participate in a geocaching project right in their own backyard.

The project is part of a Learning for Life presentation Grade 5 teacher Cindy Krueger and other teachers made to the Prairie Spirit School Division based on the topic of student engagement at the school.

Krueger said she and her colleagues presented on the data collected from surveys, how they acted on it to create this cooperative project, and how collaboration between teachers, students and community was essential for its success.

“This [geocaching] was something that is new to me,” said Krueger.” “I didn’t know what geocaching was until it was explained to me by a student. Immediately I was intrigued.”

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity where participants use navigational techniques (GPS, maps, compasses) to hide and seek containers, called geocaches or caches anywhere in the world.

Kruger said she was already implementing geocaches with her Grade 5/6 class in January when principal Jason Hill had a staff meeting to

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Warman intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw 2006-11 known as the Zoning Bylaw.

Intent The proposed bylaw will make Billboard Signs a discretionary use in all commercial and industrial districts and restrict Billboard Signs on Central Street.

Affected LAnd The affected land is any land zoned C1, C2, M1, M2, or M3.

ReAson The amendment is to ensure Billboard Sign locations are consistent with the intent of the area and are of the correct scale for the location where they are being placed.

PubLIc InsPectIon Any person may inspect the Bylaw at the City of Warman office between 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday excluding statutory holidays. Copies are available at cost.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Dundurn Elementary Grade 5 students participate in a geocaching project. The goal of the project was to encourage student engagement in education with fellow students, teachers and the greater community review data collected around student engagement (Learning for Life). When she found out she would be given time to develop new initiatives that address the data results, she realized that her geocaching venture would fit right in.

Krueger said two other teachers at the school, Bridget Shannon Wobeser (Grade 3) and Rochelle Fiedelleck (Grade 4) also liked the idea and all three teachers started planning how to teach the concept and introduce the

skills in a school setting.

Krueger said the school had their geocache kick off May 22 with Grades 3-6 working in cooperative groups to retrieve the colour-coded puzzles from the playground.

Krueger said a popular option for people who are interested in geocaching is registering with online geocaching websites where people can submit where they plan to do their geocache and find the cache either through maps, compass or GPS.

Krueger said the school will continue to organize a geocache project every year and maybe a separate cache for the Grade 6 graduating class.

She is also encouraging other PSSD schools to take part. “[Geocaching] is a good example of how teachers and students are equally engaged and motivated,” said Krueger.

“We are life long learners and it is very exciting to witness that level of engagement.”

PubLIc HeARIng Council will hold a public hearing on June 23, 2014 at 6:30pm at the City of Warman office to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaw. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing (or delivered to the undersigned at City Hall before the hearing).

Hepburn Great Strides walk raises funds for Cystic Fibrosis research

WARMAN Thrift Shop

Submitted by

BARB GINTHER

The first annual Great Strides Walk in Hepburn was a great success.

A group of 38 people, which included 15 children and 23 adults, took part in a threekilometer walk and together raised a total of $3065.00 for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research.

A big thank you goes out to those who came out and participated in the event on Sunday May 25 to help find a cure or control for this deadly disease. Individuals and businesses from Hepburn, Hague, Warman and Martensville generously donated items for door prizes and the barbecue that followed the walk.

The weather was great for walking and piñatas and balloon animals were a great attraction for the children. I am already thinking of ways to make this walk bigger and better for next year. This is a cause near and dear to me as I have lived with Cystic Fibro-

Corman Park still waiting for Small Communities Fund applications

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The provincial Small Communities Fund (SCF) drew a discussion about whether possible funding money for projects should be spread around and if other roads should be considered in the application process at the RM of Corman Park Council meeting May 20.

The Small Communities Fund is a Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component (PTIC) of the New Building Canada Fund.

The PTIC provides $10 billion in support for projects of national, local or regional significance. Part of the PTIC component is the Small Communities Fund, which will provide $1 billion for projects in municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents.

At the April 22 Council meeting, council presented a list of four eligible projects the RM would apply for under the SCF. These include the paving of Beam Road from the Entrance of BizHub towards Highway 684. The project length is 1.5 miles for a total cost of $2,300,000.

The paving of Baker Road

from Highway 11 to Highway 219. The project length including portions cost shared by the Hamlets is 3.5 miles for a total cost of $3,000,000.

The public works shop and water tank fill station for a total cost of $2,000,000 and the construction and paving of Auction Mart Road from Highway 684 heading west for three miles for a total cost of $3,200,000.

Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese Kooijenga inquired to council whether upgrades to Blumenheim or Neuhorst Roads should also be included in the SCF application.

Joe Stewart, public works director with the RM of Corman Park, said the SCF set the threshold quite high when it comes to projects they will provide funding for, which means the four projects selected all have a traffic threshold of about 3000 cars a day.

Roads that fall under this threshold will not be included in the application, said Stewart.

With the total cost of all projects cost-shared depending on what project was selected, Frose-Kooijenga asked if it

Politicians need to put constituents first

National Giveaway Weekends a taxpayer friendly idea

By Colin Craig Back in February, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) pitched federal Minister Shelly Glover on the idea of the federal government proclaiming an annual, national “giveaway weekend.”

If the feds listen, the environmentally friendly idea could become one of the most cost effective, pro-environment ideas on the planet.

For those who aren’t familiar with “giveaway weekends,” they started in a few communities in the Ottawa-area a couple decades ago and were later adopted by the City of Ottawa as an official event in 2007.

It’s quite a simple initiative – the city designates a weekend (or two) each year as a “giveaway weekend.” On that weekend people put unwanted items (that still have value) near the curb with a “free” sign on them.

If you’ve got an old toaster that still works fine but doesn’t fit with the look of your new kitchen – slap a “free” sign on it and put it by the curb on a giveaway weekend. Got a chair that’s in good shape, but you don’t need anymore? Giveaway weekend.

Have an unwanted picture of dogs playing poker? Why someone wouldn’t want to dispose of such fine art is odd, but if you find yourself in such a situation, put it out for giveaway weekend too!

Giveaway weekends are great for those who hate throwing things out that someone else could use. Not to mention, giveaway weekends are also great for deal seekers, low-income people and the environment.

In fact, a journalist in Ottawa wrote a column several years ago about how she cruised around during the city’s first giveaway weekend and was able to collect almost enough free goods to furnish a room in her apartment.

But perhaps the best thing about giveaway weekends is that they don’t require any tax dollars or bureaucracy to manage; they’re arguably one of the most cost-effective, environmentally friendly initiatives in the nation’s history. And of course, it’s a completely voluntary initiative.

It’s no surprise the idea is spreading. Back in early 2009, during a pre-budget meeting with the Mayor of Winnipeg, the CTF suggested Winnipeg could also start holding such a weekend; noting Ottawa’s success. Mayor Katz agreed and asked staff to start looking into it. That fall, Winnipeg held its first giveaway weekend and has held the weekends twice a year since; one in the spring and one in the fall. The idea has been a huge success.

Not long afterwards, Halifax decided to start holding annual giveaway weekends and so have Brandon, Winkler and Altona, Manitoba. Just imagine all the tonnes of useful products that residents in the aforementioned communities have kept out of landfills thanks to giveaway weekends!

Back in 2011, the CTF included the idea of province-wide giveaway weekends in a policy document given to major political parties in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but none of them decided to run with the idea.

While provincial politicians in both provinces took a pass on the idea, the initiative seemed to receive a warm reception with Minister Glover. She indicated she’s going to have staff look into the idea. In the mean time, if you think it would be cool for Canada to be the first nation on the planet to hold national giveaway weekends, be sure to “give” some feedback on this idea to your Member of Parliament.

So what makes a good MLA or MP?

ily agree with the party views or platform that he or she represented? Or conversely, how often have you been faced with the dilemma that you don’t much like the candidate but you wind up voting for him or her because you like the party that he or she represents?

There are ways to reform this, like run-offs in which the candidate is chosen after the riding decides which party it would like to represent them.

But that process would be time consuming and costly, adding another voting layer to a democratic system that’s struggling to get people out to vote just once.

About the best we can hope to do is send a message to the political parties that local representation still means something.

One good vehicle for that is MP Michael Chong’s federal Reform Act that distributes powers from the Prime Minister’s Office back into the hands of the individual members. Why this legislation is important, especially at the federal level, has everything to do with the fact

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Well, that’s a complicated question, but one worth exploring; especially right now as federal and provincial parties in Saskatchewan are going through their selection process in advance of elections in 2015 and 2016.

The first problem we voters have in this selection process is the vast majority of us don’t really get to pick who our next MLA or MP will be. It’s the party members in each riding that do the picking for us.

Much has been written in this space about inherent unfairness in this; how it would be a much more democratic system if non-party members had a greater say in the party’s selection of a candidate.

After all, how often have you as a voter favoured a particular person, but didn’t necessar-

that far too much power has gravitated to the Prime Minister and away from the individual MP. This is perhaps one of the greater democratic disservices that has occurred in our lifetime. Remember, it is the MP or MLA that we elect; not the Prime Minister or the Premier.

And it is the MLA or MP that should be most responsible for carrying out the wishes of the majority that voted for him or her.

This leads us back to the critical question of what makes a good MP or MLA. And that question truly boils down to a politician putting the interests of his or her constituents over the demands of the party.

Admittedly, this is a tricky matter, given that MPs and MLAs run and are elected on the platforms their respective parties put before the voters.

Whether it be ending the gun registry or cutting taxes or ending deficit budgeting, such policy must be carried out by the collective governing caucus.

But it is often those issues that were not in the platform

where we should expect an MLA to stand up for his constituents.

That didn’t happen in the 1980s when Progressive Conservative politicians forged ahead with Crown utility privatization opposed by the majority of Saskatchewan. It didn’t happen in the 1990s when rural NDP MLAs voted in favour of closing hospitals in their rural ridings or when Liberal MPs in Saskatchewan voted in favour of gun control.

And it often hasn’t happened under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s administration when local Conservative MPs have been silent or ineffective on issues like removing non-renewable resources from the equalization formula or establishing rules and penalties on rail companies who failed on their mandate to deliver our grain.

What makes a good MLA or MP is not necessarily what goodies his or her party delivers to a riding.

A good MLA or MP is one who recognizes that it’s the constituents’ needs that come first.

I can finally rejoice in the fact that the Canadiens are officially out of the playoffs because, let’s be honest, is there anything more annoying than a Habs fan?

Yes, I know the Habs won 23 cups and used to have great players. Alright they still do.

But I think the greatest story in this year’s playoffs was the play of Habs backup goaltender Dustin Tokarski.

Tokarski, who was born in Watson and grew up playing hockey in Humboldt, displayed the kind of composure and professionalism it takes to be an NHLer. Let’s face it. He was thrown into the lion’s den in Montreal, a city where only winning counts and fickle fans who won’t accept Les Canadians losing.

No, Tokarski didn’t get his team to the final showdown for the chance to sip from Stanley’s mug, but the kid Canadians players nicknamed “Ticker” may have earned his ticket to a

top spot with another NHL club if he doesn’t want to play in the shadow of Carey Price.

It’s kind of funny when you think about it. When this season started the only places that knew about Tokarski were the cities he won championships, which is impressive in its own right.

He is a backup goaltender. A player on a team that no one truly hears about because he is a second hand guy tasked to get the job done if the superstar fails or gets injured.

It reminds me of Darrell Davis’s book, “Fire on Ice,” a book I wrote a review about last fall.

The focus of Davis’s book was about the impact Saskatchewan hockey players have made in

the NHL. When you look at the Saskatchewan players represented with the four teams that made the semi-finals this year, seven are from Saskatchewan.

That’s what’s always great about the playoffs in this province.

Kids in Saskatchewan will always have a heart and soul guy from Saskatchewan to cheer for, which says a lot about this province.

It’s speaks volumes a lot of hard work to make the NHL. Talent is a small part of it.

If you are not noticed by the time you are 13 your chances of making it are slim.

Making it includes endless games and trips around

the province, dedicated parents whose weekends are spent at the local hockey arena and kids sometimes leaving home at a young age just to get to get noticed.

It takes dedication, perseverance, disappointment. It also takes class.

The Yorkton Terriers experienced that recently. During the RBC CUP tournament L.A Kings centreman Jarred Stoll bought three game day meals for the Terriers. This was during the Kings playoff round with the Anaheim Ducks. It might seem like a simple gesture by a millionaire hockey player, but it’s more than that.

Stoll, who was born in Meville and played a lot of his hock-

ey in Yorkton, took time out of his busy playoff schedule to give a Yorkton team some inspiration and encouragement.

It says a lot about his character and loyalty to a city that played a large role in his professional career. His strength of character makes me want to root for him in the Kings current series against the Chicago Blackhawks, and I am not a Kings fan.

When you think about it, should we really be surprised that Toharski played so well in a losing cause?

No, he is just another great NHL hockey player from Saskatchewan that every young goaltender should model themselves after.

Dalmeny youth get a taste of emergency services at boot camp said. “I hope it never happens, but if it does at least I’ll know what to do.”

The Dalmeny Fire and Rescue service is working with the Town of Dalmeny to have additional AEDs installed at key areas around the community.

Lieutenant Joanne Elder said a new AED is being installed in the mall in Dalmeny’s downtown businesss area next month. There is already one in the Dalmeny arena.

Members of the Dalmeny Fire and Rescue organization taught the classes. The partic-

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A group of Dalmeny high school students learned what it takes to be an emergency responder at a two-day “junior boot camp” at the Dalmeny Fire Hall last week.

The students received instruction in how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and other first aid techniques; tested their physical fitness levels, donned firefighting turnout gear and gained experience in putting out actual fires using a fire extinguisher.

It was all designed to get youth interested in becoming involved in volunteer fire department and first responder organizations after they graduate from high school, according to Lietuenant Tom Moody with the Dalmeny Fire and Rescue service.

“We’re hoping this becomes an annual event,” said Moody in an interview at the Dalmeny Fire Hall on Wednesday, May 28. “It’s no secret that volunteer emergency services all over North America are struggling to recruit and retain members, so if we can expose a group of young people to this, and appeal to their sense of adventure and altruism, then maybe it will take root at some point.”

Moody said the two-day training school was filled almost to capacity.

“We had applications from 12 kids and that was the maximum we could accept, but one had to drop out right before the event,” he said. “So we had 11 participants. They all did really well. They were very keen to learn everything we set out for them.”

Moody said the goals of the camp are to “expose young people to the activities performed

ipants recevied a camp hoodie and t-shirt, a video of camp activities and a certificate of achievement.

“They also earned bragging rights with their buddies,” said Moody.

Moody noted that young people can join Dalmeny Fire and Rescue as a junior firefighter at age 16, which allows them to participate in regular training and community activities.

When they reach age 18 they are eligible to apply to become full members.

If accepted, they can en-

roll in the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association taining school and after successfully completing the training, respond to emergency calls.

He said while emergency responders need to be phsyically fit, there are other attributes that are equally important.

“It’s about training, attitude, teamwork, and following instructions,” he said. “It’s not just about size and strength.”

Moody said outside major urban centres, all 911 calls are handled by volunteer emergency responders.

Students perform CPR and use an AED on a practice dummy during a training session at the Dalmeny Fire Hall by fire, rescue and medical first responders; build self-confidence, teamwork and leadership skills; and educate participants and their families about the importance of volunteerism in rural emergency services.”

The training involved learning the proper use of personal protective clothing (known as “bunker gear”) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); using hose lines and extinguishers on live fire in a controlled environment, vehicle extrication; simulating searches in burning buildings; first aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and use of AEDs. Grade 11 student Austin Gardiner said the most exciting part was actually putting on the firefighting gear and learning how to use the equipment during simulation exercises.

“That’s what I signed up for,” he said. “Getting the gear on, that’s when it seems real.”

Grade 11 student Chase Jeschke said he took the course because the skills he learns will likely be useful in whatever career he ends up going into after graduation.

“I came for the work experience,” he said. “It will look good on a resume. Plus it is kind of fun, too.”

Grade 10 student Victoria Woodland said the camp was “more physical” than what she had expected, but that didn’t discourage her.

“I’m good with it,” she said.

“It wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle.”

Woodland said learning how to use an AED and gaining some knowledge in essential medical techniques will give her more confidence if she ever finds herself in a situation where she’s called on to respond.

“I think I’m confident I can actually use an AED now,” she

IN THE SPOTLIGHT CTV Hometown Tour highlights City of Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A supper-hour newscast from the City of Warman by CTV Saskatoon on Thursday, May 29 shone the spotlight on the history, growth and cultural amenities of Saskatchewan’s newest city.

The television news show’s anchors, Rob MacDonald and Chantel Huber, along with weatherman Jeff Rogstad, arrived in Warman and spent the day touring the community with Warman Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk and Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth. One of the TV station’s news reporters, Jennifer Jellicoe, is a resident of Warman.

Sharon Martens, a former city councilor and a member of the city’s local history committee, filled the visitors in on the community’s colourful past. Heather Chatfield, Recreation Promotions and Marketing Supervisor with the City of Warman, gave the television crew a tour of the Legends Centre and Warman Community Middle School.

A noon-hour community barbecue at the Legends Centre attracted a sizeable crowd, and taped news segments and interviews were conducted later in the day at the weekly outdoor Warman Farmers Market at the city hall parking lot.

“It was a great way to highlight what our city has to offer residents and businesses,” said Philipchuk in an interview as the camera crew packed up their equipment at the end of the day. “I think it shows

there’s a lot more to Warman than simply a bedroom community close to Saskatoon.”

Philipchuk said the tour covered all parts of the rapidly growing city.

“We started out with a bit of the history of Warman and its beginnings as a central point at the junction of two important railway lines,” said Philipchuk.

“We explained that Warman survived a couple of major fires that destroyed a lot of the town, but people rebuilt and carried on. The development was all concentrated along the railway lines in the early days.”

But now, he said, the expansion is in every direction.

“We showed them how things are changing,” he said. “With all the development taking place there are many new subdivisions. We’ve seen a big increase in population, and now we’re really focusing our efforts on attracting more businesses and fostering more longterm economic growth.”

During a mid-day event at the Warman Community Middle School, an award was presented to Sam Dyck, the local school board representative for Warman on the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD). Dyck was awarded the “CTV Hometown Hero” plaque in appreciation for his work in promoting partnerships between the school division and the city.

“Sam was chosen because he’s always been an advocate for partnerships. The city-school division partnership that started here is now a model for the rest of the province,” said Philipchuk. “It started with an agreement where

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

CTV Saskatoon News Anchors Rob MacDonald and Chantel Huber broadcast from the Warman Farmers’ Market the town and the school board shared each other’s facilities, but no money changed hands.

That was the catalyst that started it all.”

When the Warman High School expansion project was launched, the partnership agreement enabled it to become much bigger than originally anticipated.

“We were able to turn that $4

million project into a $15 million project,” said Philipchuk.

“The next step, which was even larger, was the project to link the Legends Centre and the Warman Community Middle School together. The school division gave the city $3 million to use the civic gym facility, so now we share that facility, and it’s to everyone’s benefit because the school can use the

city facilities during the day, and the city residents can use the school facilities in the eveing. It’s a win-win situation.”

Philipchuk said when the partnership agreement was first drawn up, many people asked why it was being done.

“Now they’re asking why not?” said Philipchuk. “It’s a proven success.”

The CTV tour conclud-

ed with a public gathering at the weekly farmers market, one of the colourful outdoor events held during the summer months.

“It’s a great way to end things off,” said Philipchuk.

“It’s a gathering point for people of all ages, and I think it really shows the character of our community.”

Speed limit lowered for Highway 12 at Martensville’s Main Street access Intersection identified as location for future overpass The speed limit for both north-bound and south-bound lanes on Highway 12 at Martensville’s Main Street access have been lowered.

The move was announced by the provincial government at a press conference on Tuesday, June 3. Effective immediately, the speed limit is being reduced to 90 kilometers per hour from about two kilometers south to one kilometer north of Main Street on Highway 12.

The move is aimed at improving safety on the heavilytravelled highway, according to Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris.

The Minister also announced a lowering of the speed limit for Highway 1 near Regina from the Pilot Butte Access to just east of the Highway 48 junction.

Lowering the speed limits at these two locations is a pilot project, according to McMorris.

“There are three components

to traffic safety: engineering, enforcement and education,” McMorris said. “Our government continues to assess what steps we can take in terms of infrastructure and traffic operation improvements, increased police presence and public education.

“It’s also important to recognize these are very busy highways and we all need to drive in a responsible manner.”

The reduced speed limit is being introduced as a pilot. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure will closely monitor the impact on traffic safety.

If the results of the pilot are positive, other locations on the provincial highway system may be considered for a reduced speed limit.

The speed limit reductions are the most recent measures among a number of improvements the province has made on these roads to enhance safety. Recently, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure installed “High Collision Location” signs to encourage drivers to exercise caution. Additional

safety features added in recent years include acceleration and turning lanes, ramps and enhanced signing.

Three overpasses will also be built along Highway 1 East as part of the Regina Bypass Project. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure has also identified the location for a future overpass at Martensville.

In addition, new amendments to The Traffic Safety Act come into effect on June 27 and provide new tools to improve safety on Saskatchewan’s roads. The new legislation aims to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries in the province with harsher penalties for impaired driving, distracted driving and excessive speed. More information about these changes is available on SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca.

“Over the long term, overpasses will greatly improve safety at these locations and we have already started the planning work,” McMorris said.

“We all need to remember, however, that these highways are getting busier as the communities continue to grow.”

Warman, Martensville agree to draft bylaws to regulate outdoor smoking The Cities of Warman and Martensville recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to create new bylaws designed to regulate smoking outdoors within their respective communities.

The signing of the MOU took place on Friday, May 30, the day before World No Tobacco Day, The MOU outlines how the new bylaw will be created and funding responsibilities associated with its creation, including the allocation of staff from each city who will work together to develop the bylaw and bring it forward to their respective City Councils.

Until now, the cities haven’t had bylaws that regulate smoking outdoors in public spaces, but after meeting with the Saskatchewan Lung Association and Heart and the Stroke Foundation, both City Councils agreed it was time to cre-

ate an outdoor smoking bylaw.

They also felt it was important to work together on the bylaw based on a desire to have consistent guidelines in the closely located communities.

While details regarding which outdoor public spaces will no longer allow smoking, and how the bylaw will be developed and enforced are yet to be determined, both cities agree that protecting public health by limiting where an individual can smoke outdoors is paramount, particularly as the cities continue to grow.

“This bylaw will help protect, promote and preserve the health of our residents by regulating and prohibiting smoking outdoors at all of our outdoor city facilities, parks, playgrounds, sports fields and other public spaces,” says Kent Muench, Mayor of the City of Martensville. “Smaller cit-

ies normally don’t have the resources to create or enforce these types of bylaws, so we’re really excited to be taking on this challenge and will do our best to develop the best bylaw and enforcement options possible within our respective budgets.”

“I am very pleased that the cities of Warman and Martensville are taking a leadership role in the regulation of smoking in public areas,” says Sheryl Spence, Mayor of the City of Warman. “Warman is already a safe community and now promoting a healthy community as well. This initiative demonstrates sound and responsible leadership and follows the lead of Saskatoon moving our region forward in a unified proactive manner. As representatives of CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Valley Gospel celebration combines music, food and fellowship

The third annual Valley Gospel Celebration in Warman later this month is looking to attract an even bigger crowd because of its new location.

The three-day festival June 20-22 featuring top-flight gospel music entertainers and traditional Mennnonite food is slated to be held in the Brian King Centre.

For the past two years, it has been held in the Warman Diamond Arena.

It’s a move that should benefit both performers and festival-goers, says organizer Frank Guenther of Christ Like Ministries in Warman.

“The Brian King Centre is designed for this type of event,” said Guenther in an interview on Wednesday, May 28. “We’ve had good success in the old arena, but it’s not the best venue for concerts. The Brian King Centre is much better.”

The concert features a number of headliners, including the Willie Sons, a band from Clavet which has just released a CD; the Freedom Singers; Link Union; Canada’s Double Portion; the Liberty Quartet; Tim Parton; Keepers of the Faith; and Loren Clark.

Guenther said funds raised from the celebration will be used for food and shelter relief in missions in Juarez, Mexico and in Romania.

“We are building a home for a pastor in Juarez, as well as using the funds to feed hungry people and also for our prison ministry in Mexico,” explained Guenther. “It costs about $6,000 to build a house for a family in Juarez, and the church and home for the pastor will cost about $50,000.”

Guenther and other volunteers have been building homes in Mexico for many years, and the mission also sets up a food kitchen that has helped thousands of families, he noted.

“When you see the happy faces in Mexico, where people are so poor and they don’t have the opportunities for a good life like we do here, it’s nice to be able to share with them,” said Guenther.

Tickets are available by calling 306-933-2834 or 306-380-2834.

Blackstrap Art Studio Tour highlights a variety of local artists

By KIRA OLFERT k.olfert@yahoo.ca

The Eighth Annual Blackstrap Art Studio Tour occurred in late May in a variety of sites in and around the town of Dundurn, just south of Saskatoon on the number 11 highway.

Galleries were set up in Dundurn in the Dundurn Elementary School, the Dundurn Arts and Healing Centre and the Wilson Museum.

Additional galleries included the Klette Studio north of the town, and the Hot Shop, located across the highway from Dundurn at Shields Townsite. A wide variety of artistic mediums were on display, including painting, photography, glass blowing, pottery, quilting, sculpting, carving and stained glass. Featured artists included stained glass artist Sharon Dixon, sculptor Daryl Richardson, carver Rueben Unger, painter Marian Jan-

zen, potters Judy Tryon and Ken Wilkinson and glass kiln caster Shona Firman.

Saskatoon painter Dean Whitebear also took part in this year’s tour, his third year of being involved. Whitebear, who also teaches art, Native Studies and basic education at the Saskatoon Food Bank Learning Centre, was invited to take part in the tour by Hot Shop owners Joan and Al Hiebert. He began drawing in high school, and although he did “a bit of painting” at the time, says he mostly worked in ink until he was an Indigenous Studies student at First Nations University in Saskatoon in 1996. It was then that he began using acrylics, and found a love for painting subjects that focused on First Nations scenes and animals. His bold, vibrant works have been displayed alongside pieces from Allen Sapp, Lori Blondeau, and Gerald McMas-

ter.

Whitebear does not focus a lot of attention on promoting his work, and says “I’ve been fortunate to form a lot of friendships with other artists, and they tell other people about my art. I am really lucky to have incredible word-of-mouth attention from all over the world.”

He has paintings on display all over Canada and the United States, as well as in Ireland, Japan, Australia and England.

He says that he is proud that his expressions of his heritage have spoken to so many people from so many different places.

Another featured artist this year was Norma Edmunds of Dundurn’s Edmunds Eye Photography. Edmunds has been part of the Blackstrap Art Studio Tour since the beginning, and says that “people continue to be amazed at the number of skilled artists in the Dundurn area, as well as the wide variety

of artists we have.” She adds that “every year we see more and more people not from the Dundurn area coming to see the tour. I would say that 90 per cent of the visitors so far this year have been from Saskatoon.

They’ve heard good things from their friends, and want to come and check us out.”

Edmunds’ work captures typical prairie scenes, or what she likes to call “Saskatchewana.” She takes the vast majority of her pictures in and around Dundurn, and likes to focus on “whatever catches my eye.

What is colourful? What is unusual? And there is so much beauty out there – where else can you find a perfectly flat horizon?”

One of the visitors on this year’s studio tour was Sharon Messina, a former Saskatoon resident who has lived in Syndney, Australia, for the past 35 years. She says the pieces that

she saw all speak to her of her youth on the prairies. “The colours in all of the works are amazing,” she says, adding “the pictures of the vast blue sky and wheat fields just bring the prairies to life for me. And the colours in the pottery, the

How parents can help youngsters learn to swim What would summer be without days spent frolicking at the beach or afternoons spent splashing in the pool? Fun in the water makes hot days more enjoyable and bearable, and few summertime activities do not involve water play in one aspect or another.

Although time spent in the water can be refreshing and entertaining, water does present certain hazards, particularly for those who do not know how to swim. Learning to swim, especially at a young age, is adviseable and a great way to remain safe around the water.

The World Health Organization says drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death across the globe, accounting for 7 percent of all injury-related deaths. Children, males and individuals with increased access to water are most at risk of drowning. In general, children under five years of age have the highest drowning mortality rates in the world, though adult males

in Canada and New Zealand drown at higher rates than children.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, parents should consider swimming lessons for most children between the ages of one and four.

New research has revealed that swimming instruction for children between the ages of one and four may decrease drowning risk. However, parents should be advised that swimming lessons do not remove all risk. Children still need constant supervision when in and around water. Additionally, learning CPR can be a life-saving measure.

When enrolling children in swim lessons, parents should look for safety-certified instructors who have first aid and resuscitation training and certification. Many programs offered are sponsored by the American Red Cross or the YMCA. Private swim clubs may have their own instructors.

Children between the ages of

one and three typically do not have the motor coordination to swim effectively. These children can benefit from swim lessons that emphasize getting used to the water, safety and learning some swimming readiness skills. Instruction may involve teaching children how to move their legs and arms and strengthen muscles used for swimming. Children between the ages of four and five may be more developmentally ready for swimming. Such youngsters may move from watersafety lessons to actual swimming with or without support.

A study titled “Children’s readiness for learning front crawl swimming” published in The Australian Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport showed that whether kids “started lessons at two, three or four years of age,” they learned to swim well at “approximately the same mean age of five and a half years.”

In addition to swimming lessons, parents and other adults

can ensure water safety by taking the following precautionary measures: * Children should never be left unattended in the water. It takes mere inches of water for a youngster to drown. * In the pool or another body of water, caregivers should be within touching distance of young swimmers to provide help if needed, even if the child is wearing a floatation device. * Keep rescue equipment by the pool. * Remove toys from the pool when it’s not in use. These toys can attract children who will go in after them. * A fence around the perimeter of the yard may be mandatory, but a fence around the pool itself is another safety barrier to consider. The fence should feature a self-latching gate. * Even adults should be watched while swimming. It is always a safe idea to swim with a buddy, so that the other person can get help if something goes wrong.

Vinyl siding still a consumer favourite for the cabin Vinyl siding is trusted by cabin owners looking to add aesthetic appeal to their cabin’s exterior. Though vinyl siding may seem to be a cut-anddry type of product, the vast array of vinyl siding colours and styles has created certain trends among consumers.

Made chiefly from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, vinyl siding is the most commonly installed exterior cladding for residential construction in the United States and Canada, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. The history of vinyl siding can be traced to Ohio, where it was introduced to the exterior cladding market in the late 1950s by a private company. The process of mixing colors was done by hand, and the product was very inconsistent. New innovations in siding manufacture during the next few decades helped solidify vinyl siding’s place among cladding materials like shake, wood and aluminum.

Vinyl siding comes in several different types. Here are the key variations. * Seamless vinyl siding: In the past, siding was created in specific lengths, requiring siding panels to overlap at points, often creating an unpleasant pattern. These points provided spots for insects, wind and moisture to infiltrate, leading to a weaker product. Today there are vinyl siding products that have removed the seams, creating a more visually appealing and durable product. * Solid core vinyl siding: Even the best-made vinyl siding had a flaw: it was not rigid and generally didn’t lie flat against the surface of a cabin. Solid core vinyl siding alleviates that problem by having a solid backing on which the vinyl panels are attached.

The core is then attached to

the cabin. These products also boast a higher-than-average insulation rating because the foam core interlocks during insulation. This makes a solid barrier around the home. * Vinyl shake siding: Vinyl shake siding has been designed and coloured to look just like real cedar shakes, but without the maintenance, such as powerwashing or staining, associated with a wood product. Vinyl shake siding offers the same benefits of other types of vinyl siding, but tends to look like it is an expensive cladding material. * Vinyl log siding: Log cabins may seem like an adventure. However, being surrounded by wood can have its disadvantages, most notably maintenance issues surrounding wood. Vinyl siding manufacturers have created vinyl log products molded directly from real lumber, providing a look that mimics real wood, like that used for a log cabin.

As vinyl siding continues to be a favourite among cabin owners, certain trends emerge each year. While rich-coloured siding was a popular trend just last year, cabin owners engaging in siding renovation products are now turning more to warm, earthy colors. Expect to see more gold, clay, and warm red shades with trim colors only one or two shades off, for a monochromatic effect.

Another trend involves a continued interest in renewable materials or siding comprised of some post-recycled consumer content.

Energy conservation is also on the minds of consumers, and some areas of the country have modified building codes to require continuous insulation of exteriors to prevent heat and cooling losses more effectively. As a result, more

LARGEST customers may opt for solid core vinyl siding to meet demands for home insulation.

For cabin owners who prefer a one-of-a-kind look to their homes, mix-and-match siding trends have developed. Mixing and matching siding styles

can create instant curb appeal and an interesting backdrop for outdoor gardens and patios.

Stone entryways mixed with vinyl siding as well as a mixing of traditional horizontal siding with vinyl shake or board-andbatten are also considerations.

Warman Gems bounce back to overcome Hanley Merchants

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Gems overcame an early two-run deficit to down the Hanley Merchants 9-2 in Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) action at Bob Van Impe (BVI) stadium on Thursday, May 29.

The win, coupled with a 12-4 victory over the Saskatoon Tint Centre Cubs on Monday, June 2, puts the Gems in second place in the SASA Ken Gunn Division standings, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.

The Merchants are in fifth spot with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

The Merchants looked like they had things well in hand early in the opening inning.

Jay Bohrson pounded a standup triple to deep centre field.

Pitcher Rob Goring’s single RBI with one away put the Hanley squad up by two runs after their first at-bat.

But the Gems exploded for six runs on a two-out rally in the second inning that took the wind out of the Merchants’ sails. Warman pitcher Ryan Olde, meanwhile, settled into his rhythm to preserve the lead.

The Gems added one run in the third, one in the fifth and one in the sixth to seal the victory early.

“The team played great after a slow start,” said Warman Gems left-fielder Mike Stefaniuk after the game. “Ryan Olde pitched great, shutting the door after we spotted them two runs in the first inning.

Every fan’s favourite time of the year The 2014 Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp presented by Groundforce Drilling got underway Sunday morning here at Griffith’s Stadium and I can’t make this stuff up -- there was a dark, gray cloud hanging over the proceedings.

Make no mistake, the morning practice was an upbeat session as the team convened for the first time on-field since their 2013 Grey Cup championship on November 24 in Regina when the Riders beat Hamilton 45-23.

But on this cool Sunday in the Bridge City, Roughrider players wore black armbands as a show of solidarity while the CFL and its Players Association work through their current labour negotiations.

There was considerable concern training camps across the CFL wouldn’t start at all after the two sides in the labour squabble broke off talks on three separate occasions beginning in March. As it is, training camps opened with no new Collective Bargaining Agreement in place. The old one expired on midnight of May 29.

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

While it’s hard to imagine there will be a strike at all in 2014, those armbands are hard to ignore. Honestly I just thought they were sweatbands which players often wear but they made it clear what they represent.

By the time you read this, they may have gone on strike.

Things have been changing on a daily basis but right now there doesn’t seem to be a plan from the players going forward.

Regarding this training camp itself, it’s a different vibe from last year when the Riders began the initial stages of putting a team together to challenge for a Grey Cup in Mosaic Stadium. 365 days ago the Riders assembled an AllStar cast which would roar out to an 8-1 start, its best in franchise history, on the way

to a championship season.

This time around they seem a little more subdued. Gone are veterans Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler (to the NFL), along with Mike McCullough, Rey Williams and Geroy Simon (retirement). There are plenty of spots open on the team and it’s a far younger group 12 months later.

“It’s a different vibe but it’s a good vibe,” smiled Rider quarterback Darian Durant.

“It’s very youthful and energetic, and I like that. But at the same time we still have a good mix of veterans who can bring the young guys along.

“It would be nice to have more consistency with the bats because one big inning isn’t enough to win games most times, so we got a bit lucky. We need to get scoring every inning.”

But with only one loss so far this year, the Gems aren’t complaining, Stefaniuk added.

Their next game is Thursday, June 5 at BVI against the Saskatoon Points Athabasca Padres in the second game of a double header. They play the Saskatoon Westside Selects at Gordie Howe Park on Monday, June 9 at 6:45 p.m.

THE

fensive side of the ball. However first-year receiver Chaz Schilens comes to the Riders after NFL stops in Detroit, Oakland and New York and he’s already lining up with the first group of receivers. Running back Jermaine Thomas is a raw rookie out of Florida State and is atop the depth chart to open camp.

Early on he’s shown great speed and a knack for finding the holes.

So what’s the motivation heading into this season?

Head coach Corey Chamblin is quick to point out they’ll never repeat that magical 2013 campaign, the best in franchise history. However leave it to a wily veteran to find a silver lining in that gray cloud.

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to become legendary here,” said Rider defensive end Ricky Foley. “You win one Grey Cup you’re a member here forever. But we have a chance to win two in a row and I can’t even imagine what would happen if we did. We’re super-motivated at the opportunity to go back-toback.”

The mission to repeat is on!

The Twin City Angels Peewee B girls will be heading to Moose Jaw for a tournament June 13-15 before league playoffs start June 20. The Angels will then be heading to Unity for provincials July 4.

Schmiedge said if the girls

can get their bats swinging they could easily win a few games.

“I think our best asset is our hitting. The last couple of games we struggled in that area, but if we concentrate on our strength we will have a good end of the season.”

Schmiedge said the ultimate goal is for the girls to have fun, develop and improve by the end of the year.

Diamond Dogs shut out Poly Plus Jr Diamondbacks

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

A solid pitching effort by the Delisle National Leasing Sr. Diamond Dogs led to a 4-0 victory over the Saskatoon Poly Plus Jr Diamondbacks during Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association league action, May 28.

Jeff Farion started the game for the first three innings and allowed only five hits while Brian Newton shut down 12 Jr. Diamondbacks batters for the last four innings.

The Diamond Dogs got two runs on two hits in the bottom of the first inning and increased their lead at the bottom of the fifth when they drove in two more to seal the victory.

The rest of game was met with fustration from the Jr Diamondbacks bullpen who could

not come up with a strategy to beat Newton.

Shawn Colborn, centre outfielder with the Diamond Dogs, said pitching and the character of pitchers, Brian Newton, Jeff Farion and Curtus Rouse is going to be their strength this season.

“Rouse threw for us on Tuesday night. He had knee surgery a year and a half ago,” said Colborn. “He had seven strikeouts in three innings on Tuesday night. He was looking good.”

For the last four games the Diamond Dogs had to play with a couple of adjustments to their batting lineup with power hitter Jeff Durham missing games because of seeding.

Colburn said when the team’s regular batting rotation gets in full swing there will be plenty of hits to the outfield.

“We got good depth in our

batting lineup right now but there is probably four of us who are farming right now that are hit and miss,” said Colburn. “ “We will have a pretty well rounded team when everyone is there. We will have good depth with pitching and from the bench. One through nine are going to be solid hitters,” said Colburn.

The Diamond Dogs were slated to play the Saskatoon Sr. Kekambas on June 1, but due to a shortage of players for the Sr. Kekambas the Diamond Dogs were rescheduled a match with the Poly Plus Jr Diamondbacks and won 8-2 In five games the Diamond Dogs have four wins and one loss and are tied for first place with the Saskatoon Poly Plus Sr Angels in the Saskatchewan Amateur Softball Association’s

Keith McLean Division.

The Diamond Dogs played the Saskatoon AGI Masters on June 4, but the game was after the Clarks Crossing Gazette’s press deadline. The next game for the Diamond Dogs will be against the Bruno Sr. Merchants, Tuesday, June 10 at Bob Van Impe Park. Game time is 6:45 p.m.

Day-long rugby showcase turns heads in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The grand old game of rugby is making a comeback in Saskatchewan.

A century ago, rugby was the big draw across the province as teams competed for glory. Padding? Helmets? Aw c’mon. In

this game, you just roll up your sleeves and dig in.

Rugby Day in Warman on May 31 provided four games; a “double double-header” of oldschool action at Neufeld Field in Warman on Saturday, May 31.

It was a way of showcasing a sport that’s booming in pop-

ularity among a new generation, according to Tyler Eaglesham, a Warman resident who plays with the Krems senior men’s rugby club in Saskatoon, and coaches the Springboks junior boys rugby club made up of high-school age youth from Martensville and Warman.

In the first game,, a Junior

Girls match-up, the Saskatoon Sirens defeated the Saskatoon Razorbacks 30-20.

The Springboks earned their first win of the season with a 17-10 victory over the Regina All Blacks in the Junior Boys game.

In the Senior Women’s contest, the Kirin beat the Wild Oats Women 44-31; and in the Senior Men’s the Krems beat the Condors 38-21.

The Kirin are the Krems’ sister club, and the Sirens are the Krins’ junior team.

The Razorbacks are the Wild Oats Women’s junior team. The Springboks are the Krems’ junior team.

The Condors are a team from Regina.

Venture Heights School track athletes do well Submitted by

RON BIBERDORF

Principal, Venture Heights School

Bantam and Midget Track and Field is over for another year at Venture Heights School in Martensville.

This year’s team of 37 athletes performed very well at both the Conference and the District Meet held at Griffith’s Stadium in Saskatoon.

The team placed 10th out of 30 schools participating at the meet; this is an outstanding accomplishment.

Many personal bests were met, and once again our school received many accolades on our student behaviour and level of competiveness.

Additionally, we would like to congratulate Brooklyn Row-

ley for receiving a CVAC medal and a medal for achieving the most overall points in her age category at both meets she competed in!

The coaches – Ron Biberdorf, Garett Soparlo, Heather Ohryn, and Allan Ritch – have been impressed with the dedication and effort their team has put forth. They look forward to next year and the continuing development of athleticism within Venture Heights School.

Debate surrounds fuel tender selection at RM council meeting

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Deciding on which fuel tender was the most reliable option and what company would give the RM more bang for its buck was debated at the RM of Corman Park Council Meeting May 20.

According to documents presented in council, in May 2014 the RM of Corman Park retendered an “invitation to Quote” to supply the RM with gasoline and diesel fuel.

This was due to inconsistencies with the rack price information provided with the previous tender.

The rack price is the cost refineries sell gasoline to various clients, which can include gasoline sellers or gas stations.

The RM normally uses 100,000 liters of gasoline and 700,000 of diesel fuel. The closing date for the quote was May 14 with tenders Millsap Fuel Distributors Ltd and Saskatoon Co-op Association coming forward.

Millsap Fuel Distributors estimated that at a price of $1.3126/L, diesel would cost $918,820.00 and at $1.2057/L, gasoline would cost $120,570.00 for a total cost of $1,039,390.

Saskatoon Co-op Association estimated that at $1.3070/L, diesel would cost $914,900.00 and at $1.920/L, gasoline would cost $119,200.00 for a total cost of $1,034,100.

In normal circumstances the RM usually decides on the lowest bidder, which is Saskatoon Coop, but Division 6 Councilor Bas Frose - Kooijenga had concerns about reliability.

“I know from personal experience as well as Councilor Janzen and Germs that we had an issue with fuel supply with co-op for farmers,” said FroseKooijenga. “This has happened last summer and the summer before. I don’t know if I want to take a chance with a difference of $5,000 to have our graders on the side of the road waiting for fuel.”

Joe Stewart, director of Public Works with the RM of Corman Park, said he understood FroeseKooijenga’s concerns, but also said the RM has to go with the cheapest price, which means Co-op has to be his recommendation.

Unlike Millsap, Co-op doesn’t list their rack price on their website, so the RM administration had to use Co-op’s commercial price as their rack price, said Adam Tittemore, administrator for the RM of Corman Park.

“We went through and we determined how we can allow everyone to bid on the tender the same either rack or commercial price,” said Tittemore.

“It serves the same purpose.”

Tittemore also said the RM asked a regional municipality in BC and talked to the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and County (Equivalent of SARM) to get what they use.

Tittemore explained that the RM based the tender on a regional purchasing co-op set up by a group of municipalities in Ontario with the tendered document that they use.

Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen, said she was quite sure that co-op realizes this fuel contract with the RM is significant and that if anyone is going to be short changed it will be a farmer over the RM. Judy Harwood, reeve of the RM of Corman Park, said the RM has used Millsap for a long time and it doesn’t hurt to try another company. She said if Co-op doesn’t provide the RM with expected service that the RM would review the contract.

Continued from page 5

Small Communities Fund applications would be better to clay cap a couple of the projects to keep costs down.

Stewart said the federal government probably wouldn’t cost share on clay cap and gravel infrastructure projects. He said those projects would fall under SARMs MREP infrastructure funding.

SARM recently advised the RM that the Federal and Provincial governments are still working out the details of the provincial-territorial funds and that application information may not be available.

According to documents presented in council the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure are administering national and regional projects, while the Ministry of Government Relations will be administering the SCF. AMEC will be assisting the RM with its application process.

Adam Tittemore, administrator with the RM of Corman Park, said the RM made a deal with AMEC where AMEC is going to do all of the preliminary engineering work on these projects for the application process at no charge to the RM. This includes traffic counting and looking at some of the engineering amounts with the understanding that if the RM recieves approval and plans to go forward then AMEC will do more engineering on a project at that time, said Tittemore.

Tittemore said the RM chose to move forward with the application process to get some background information put together for when the applications are made available.

Partnership to regulate smoking in outdoor areas

Martensville broncos tops at tournament The Martensville PeeWee A Broncos entered the Saskatoon Minor Baseball invitational tournament the weekend of May 24 and 25. The Broncos ended round robin play with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss ,placing them into the A final game. With some timely hitting, aggressive base running, and excellent pitching they managed to win the A-final 10-9 over the host Blue Jays. It was a great team effort where each individual contributed to the win. In the picture are (back row, left to right) Jaxon Martens, Josh Pillar, Corbin Christianson, Brody Irvine, Davis Wright, Blake Neudorf- (Coach) (Front) Jack Hamm, Ben Pike Kilsowsky, Kalen Muench, Nicholas Neudorf, Jaxen Glasser (Not pictured) Affiliated Players Josh Clark, Josh Pike Kilsofsky, Ryder Christianson and Coaches Shawn Kilsowsky, and Kornel Irvine (Photo submitted by Blake Neudorf)

the citizens of these two wonderful communities it is incumbent upon us to protect our constituents, particularly the youth, from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.”

The Lung Association of Saskatchewan, and their partners in health, the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society, are applauding the cities for signing the MOU to create outdoor smoke-free public spaces. In Canada, tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable death and it needs the attention of municipal leaders.

“It’s wonderful to see these two growing, progressive communities come together to work towards adopting comprehensive bylaws that will protect the health of families and workers alike.

Comprehensive tobacco control strategies can significantly reduce tobacco use among youth and adults,” said Jennifer Miller, the Vice-President of Health Promotion for The Lung Association.

Municipalities have the legal authority to adopt local bylaws that go above and beyond the minimum standards. Across the country, many municipal councils are demonstrating concern for the health of their communities. “Through their leadership of a comprehensive outdoor smoke-free spaces bylaw, the Cities of Warman and Martensville are setting a precedent and leading the way for other Saskatchewan municipalities to follow,” adds Miller.

The cities hope to have the bylaw implemented by the start of 2015. More information will be shared as Martensville and Warman City Councils proceed to adopt the bylaw.

Valley Ford breaks ground for new building

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Less than a year after a devastating fire levelled its showroom, offices and maintenance facilities, Valley Ford is beginning construction of a new $3 million building in Hague.

“It’s been almost 280 days since the fire, and there have been times when it’s been a bit rough,” said Valley Ford owner Bob Kenny during a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, May 29 at the dealership’s new location adjacent to the Hague Shell station on Highway 11. “But this is an exciting day for us because it’s the start of the next phase of our expansion.”

Valley Ford manager Kevin Adams said even though the dealership has had to operate out of two temporary trailers and four rented locations in Hague, the support from the community has enabled the business to bounce back from the fire in a big way.

“At the time of the fire we had 25 employees,” said Adams.

“Now we have 26.”

Adams said the dealership recently opened a new temporary location with four hoists.

“That will make a big difference for our service department,” said Adams. But, he added, the next few months will still be part of a “transitional” period.

“It’s a bit inconvenient for everyone when you’re working out of temporary trailers and rented properties, but we want to thank our customers for their patience,” he said.

The new facility is expected to be open by early 2015. “If all goes well, it will be about 16

The sod was officially turned on Thursday, May 29 to begin construction of the new Valley Ford dealership in Hague by (l-r) manager Kevin Adams, Zak’s Home Building Centre owner Henry Zacharias, Lance Zacharias, Valley Ford owner Bob Kenny, Hague Mayor Pat Wagner, and architect Jeff Mannix of RBM Architecture months between the time of the fire and the opening of the new building,” said Adams.

The general contractor for the new state-of-the-art facility is Zak’s Home Building Centre, located a short distance south

of the new Valley Ford building site.

Henry Zacharias, owner of Zak’s, said his company has been working with Valley Ford over the winter, and noted he received confirmation of the

contract about three weeks ago.

“We’re very excited to be building something this big right here in Hague,” said Zacharias, who has operated his business in Hague for the past 18 years. “It’s nice that

it’s right next door. That’s the thing about small towns. It will be good for both of us.”

Zacharias said he expects work to begin in earnest in early June, and doesn’t foresee any difficulty meeting the time line

for completion of the project.

“It’s not the biggest project we’ve ever tackled,” said Zacharias. “But it’s right up there as one of the biggest. The time line is realistic. When you start a project of this magnitude, it has to move fairly quickly.”

The .building wass designed

by Jeff Mannix of RBM Architecture. It will incorporate an expanded showroom, corporate offices and repair and maintenance bays. The parcel of land the dealership is moving to is about 50 per cent bigger than its old location, according to Adams.

Kenny said the new location will provide the dealership with increased visibility along one of the most heavily-travelled highways in the province.

Hague Mayor Pat Wagner said she couldn’t be happier that the dealership, one of the largest employers in the community, is rebuilding.

“This is a huge event for our town,” said Wagner. “For Valley Ford to stay here and show this kind of commitment to Hague and the surrounding area is important. It will encourage other businesses to come here as well. Hague is growing and our business sector is growing too.”

RM of Rosthern Reeeve Martin Penner said the dealership is a key part of the economy in the area.

“The new building can’t come soon enough,” said Penner, who has worked at Valley Ford for many years.

“It’s been challenging, but it’s worked out and we’re happy to see construction get started so we can move in next spring.”

Construction continues to boom in Martensville and Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Construction numbers in two of Canada’s fastest-growing cities show no signs of slowing down.

“Permit values and numbers continue to exceed expectations,” according to Warman Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth.

In a presentation to the Association of Commercial Realtors in Saskatoon in late May, Toth said the number of building permits in Warman this year is on pace to be a record.

He noted that so far in 2014 in Warman, 14 commercial construction permits have been issued with a combined value of $16,983,000. A total of 109 permits have been issued for new residential dwellings, both single-family and multi-family, with a combined total value of $24,919,900. A total of 98 building permits were issued for residential small projects, which include renovations such as decks and additions. The total value of these building permits amounted to $2,048,900.

The City of Martensville is

also growing, according to statistics posted on the city’s website.

As of May 1, Martensville has issued a total of 18 building permits for single-family residences and 25 permits for multi-family dwellings.

A total of 35 residential improvement permits have also been issued, as well as five commercial and industrial building permits. This includes the new CanAlta hotel, a major commercial enterprise on Martensville’s Centennial Drive.

The total value of Martens-
