The Village of Vanscoy will be holding a byelection for a new mayor, September 3. The call for nominations will be July 15 with nomination day scheduled for July 30, said Dawn Steeves, Village of Vanscoy administrator. Jerome Robert, who served as mayor since 2009 is half way through his term. He also served as mayor in 2000 and said it was time to step down. Robert also serves as the RM of Vanscoy’s foreman, a position he plans to maintain. “Being the mayor and the foreman of Vanscoy is just too big of a load. I found it was getting to be too much because I am getting up in age and I don’t have the energy like I used to,” said Robert. During his tenure Robert said he was proud of some of the things council was able to do to improve the quality of life in Vanscoy, including a new water treatment plant (during his first term), and upgrades to the village’s lagoon and lift station. The Deputy Mayor for Vanscoy, John Hendrickson, will assume the role of mayor until the byelection. Steeves said no one on council has expressed an interest in putting their name into the hat for mayor and no one in the village has expressed an interest as of yet. She said filling the mayor’s position shouldn’t be hard, depending on how satisfied people are with the job the council is doing. Like every Saskatoon bedroom community the new mayor will have to deal with expansion issues such as upgrades to the water treatment plant. The village recently sold the last 10 lots of a 52 lot subdivision and is waiting on the development of a new treated water line coming into the village from Saskatoon.

Amendment to RM’s water utility bylaw will require a user-fee for new connections

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The RM of Corman Park Council gave three readings to its Water Utility Bylaw, May 20 for the purpose of establishing conditions, responsibilities, and procedures for the construction, installation and use of water services for water utilities operated by the RM. At the May 5 Public Works Committee Meeting, council recommended that for a connection to a water system, a $12,000 minimum fee be put in place or cost plus 13 per cent. The need for the new connection fee is based on the estimated average curb-stop installation costs, which are currently $8,000 and $4,000, which covers minimum asset depreciation and repair costs. To give an example for the cost plus portion, the Dundurn Rural Water Utility currently charges $13,500 for a minimum system connection fee or cost plus $2,500. In both cases $2,500 is allocated to a
system sustainability fund to cover the cost of asset depreciation. There are currently four water distribution systems operated by Corman Park, which are licensed by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. These systems provide service to Corman Park Industrial Park, and hamlets of Grasswood, Riverside Estates, Casa Rio/Casa Rio East. With each system having a different financial and operational structure, the only systems that charge a fee to connect are Corman Industrial Park, which is $6,000 and Grasswood Water Systems at $4,000. There is also a $4,500 charge for users whose property is located adjacent to the Hamlet of Grasswood where the subscriber is responsible for the cost of the curb stop in each location. In the Hamlets of Riverside Estates, Casa Rio and Casa Rio East there is currently no cost to connect and the water

utility is responsible for the cost of curb-stop construction. Each of the four water distribution systems range from nine to 28 years in age with various water main lengths and diameters, water flow rates, reservoir sizes, pump sizes and association infrastructure components factoring into regular maintenance. The RM used Catterall and Wright Consulting Engineers numbers to estimate the replacement value for each system, its various components and the value per existing connection to the system. Riverside amounts to $1,951,000 for system replacement value and $23,792,68 for connection, Corman Industrial Park’s replacement value is $421,000,00 and connection $16,192.31, Grasswood replacement value adds up to $2,357,320 and connection &27,410.70 while Casa Rio and Casa Rio East replacement value costs are $2,610,600 and connection $21,755.00.

Pat Schultz (left) presents Ashley Baerg with the Dalmeny Citizen of the Year award
Dalmeny bestows Citizen of the Year honour on world-class athlete By HILARY KLASSEN
hilarylklassen@gmail.com
Ashley Baerg hadn’t noticed that her medals were missing from her room on Sunday morning, June 8. She had shrugged off some unusual comments and questions from her Mom over the past couple of weeks. But when she was called forward to receive the Dalmeny Citizen of the Year Award for 2013 during Dalmeny Days, suddenly everything made sense. Pat Schultz of the Dalmeny Recreation Board made the announcement. “Ashley, you have raised the bar for all of us. You have inspired us to persevere in spite of challenges. You have been a great ambassador for Canada, Saskatchewan and Dalmeny. We wish you every success as you continue to pursue your dreams and aspirations,” Pulling out Ashley’s medals so she could hold them up, and discussing her achievements in wheelchair basketball and water skiing, Schultz said
that making this announcement gave her “pure joy.” Ashley said she was completely surprised. “It’s a huge honour. Dalmeny is not a super small town and they could have picked anybody and the fact that they picked me is a huge honour.” She finds that this award is just as special as some of the national or international recognition she has received. “I know a lot of friends who have gotten this honour through sports and they’ve been honoured in their home town. It’s your local support system that is recognizing you for what you’ve done so I think that’s just as special if not more so,” she said. Ashley’s most recent accolade was being named earlier this year as Adaptive Athlete of the Year 2013 for Canada by Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada. This happened in the wake of winning three medals at the World Disabled Waterski Championships in Milan, Italy. In her first sport of basketball, she has competed in Canada as well as
Germany and Japan. Being awarded Citizen of the Year is a recognition of Ashley’s indomitable spirit. “I’ve heard that people who are in my situation might say ‘these are the cards I was dealt so I’m not going to go out of my comfort zone.’ But I’ve never thought that ways thanks to my parents and my classmates and the people in this community,” said Ashley. “I’ve never been treated any differently. It was assumed that I would try something, and once I was able to accomplish it I was kind of expected to continue.” Schultz noted that Ashley’s tenacious spirit, persistence, focus and strong work ethic has helped her achieve a long list of accomplishments. “When Ashley isn’t working at achieving her athletic goals, she works as a teaching assistant in the Prairie Spirit School Division. She took two years of training at a community college right after high school to equip her for this CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Martensville, Warman endorse Planning for Growth partnership By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Cities of Martensville and Warman have voted to endorse the Planning for Growth (P4G) terms of reference, work plan, study area, budget and communications strategy. Martensville City Council gave the thumbs-up to the P4G “foundational documents” at a meeting on Tuesday, June 3. Warman City Council passed
a resolution to the same effect at a council meeting on Monday, June 9. The Town of Osler endorsed the document at a council meeting May 27. The City of Saskatoon has also endorsed the P4G plan. The RM of Corman Park is currently studying the regional plan and will vote on the documents at its next meeting. The P4G working group is made up of elected political

Flea market funds to benefit furry friends Town of Dundurn opts to use collection agency for tax enforcement By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Town of Dundurn had to resort to a third party collection agency to help collect overdue property taxes. The town is owed $80,000 from residential property owners, which the town has been trying to collect for several years, said Dundurn Mayor Doug Narraway. Usually the town would try to collect overdue property taxes through the province’s tax enforcement act, which provides a guideline for towns, cities and villages on how to collect. With the town depending on this money to be used on infrastructure upgrades, paying wages and fuel for tractors, it
was a last ditch effort, said Narraway. “It is frustrating without getting into too many details of it,” said Narraway. “At the end of the day we are trying to get things accomplished on the backs of those who pay.” Narraway said a portion of the large amount is not only what residents currently owe but also because of interest. Western Municipal Tax Solutions is the company that will be helping the town collect, which will pull no punches when it comes to seizing assets and garnisheeing wages to collect what is owed. “I find it sad that we have to go that way and I know some people may have fallen on hard times,” said Narraway. “I un-
derstand that because I have been there. There are ways around that too. If times are tough than maybe you need to sell off the house to make some money.” In this year’s budget the overdue money has left the town in a holding pattern, said Narraway. “We have had some leaks in town so consequently you have to dig up the road to fix the water line so there are two things that need to be fixed. It is never just the water line. It is the road, the road surface, the road bed. It is part and parcel so when you are not paying these taxes then we have to figure out a way to fix this leak because people have earned their water.”
North commuter bridge funding announced The provincial and federal governments are each contributing $50 million toward a new commuter bridge in the north end of Saskatoon. Premier Brad Wall announced on Monday, June 9 that the province will contribute $50 million to the North Commuter Parkway Bridge in Saskatoon. The provincial contribution is part of tripartite deal with the City of Saskatoon and the Government of Canada. Wall made the announcement at an event in Saskatoon along with federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Gerry Ritz and Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison. “Our government is pleased to work with the City of Saskatoon and the Government of Canada on an innovative project that demonstrates the value of P3 partnerships,” Wall said. “Saskatoon is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada and the North Commuter Parkway Bridge will help sustain that growth by connecting residential neighbourhoods to the expanding industrial area in the city’s north end.” The Government of Saskatchewan had announced it would make a financial contribution to the bridge project in the 201415 Budget released in March. The federal P3 Canada Fund will invest up to $66 million in the city’s bridge replacement project. “The North Commuter Parkway Bridge will allow the smooth flow of traffic across
the Saskatchewan River between residential areas and where people work in the downtown core,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said. “It will also reduce traffic jams, saving Saskatoon residents time.” Saskatoon City Council supported the use of a P3 model to
construct the bridge as the best way to address growing traffic congestion while saving an estimated $26.6 million compared to the traditional design and build method. The Parkway bridge project – including associated road work - should take about two years to complete.
A giant-size flea market on Saturday, June 21 at the Legends Centre in Warman will feature well over 100 vendors, and is aimed at raising funds to help out the Saskatoon SPCA. Jennifer King, owner-operator of King’s Castle Designs in Osler, said the “Summer Sizzler” is designed to be a fun event that has something for everyone. “It’s open to vendors of all kinds,” said King in an interview recently. “We will have people bringing garage sale
items and second-hand stuff including antiques, all the way up to classic catalog businesses and home-based businesses. “It’s a trade show, a bake sale and a flea market all rolled into one,” she added. King said over 90 vendor tables have so far been filled, and added the remaining tables are going quickly. King is optimistic that a 5050 raffle aimed at raising funds for the Saskatoon SPCA will not only provide much needed operating money for the animal
shelter, but also raise awareness of the importance of responsible pet ownership. “In 2007, I was working at a store that promoted ethical treatment of animals, and I began volunteering with the SPCA,” said King. “It was a heart-rending experience to see how crowded the facilities were, especially for cats. People really need to be educated about spaying and neutering animals, and learning how to care for animals that they adopt.”

SGT. WARREN GHERASIM Warman RCMP
The following is the local media release for the Warman Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the week of June 2 to June 9. The Warman RCMP Detachment serves the area north and west of Saskatoon, with detachment offices in the communities of Warman, Martensville, Radisson and Delisle.
CHAIN REACTION CRASH
On June 2, at 5:30 p.m. police received a complaint of a threevehicle collision on Highway 11 at the access to Warman. Police attended and found that a vehicle had stopped abruptly on the Highway and was rear-ended by the vehicle following it, causing it to rear-end a third vehicle. There were no injuries.

The one male admitted to losing his temper and starting the fight. There were no injuries and both parties went their separate ways. There
were no charges.
DRIVING TOO FAST
On June 5 at 8:00 p.m police received a complaint of a two-vehicle collision on Highway 16 west of Saskatoon. Police attended and found that the 49-year-old driver of a Corvette from Saskatoon lost control of the vehicle and collided with a semi that was travelling in the same direction. EMS attended and checked the driver over. He was not injured. He was charged with driving at a speed that is greater than reasonable and safe.

LANGHAM VANDALISM
On June 2 at 8:10 a.m. police received a complaint of mischief to the Langham Elementary school. The damage was done to the roof of the school and a bike sign in front of the school. The damage appears to have occurred over the weekend. Investigation into this matter is ongoing.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Fortune Minerals plant is bad business The Sask Party seems determined to “invite business” to Sskatchewan and in particular to Corman Park Rural Municipality. While I have nothing against business, I have to question the sensibility of their business plans for Langham and area. They have made it very attractive for Fortune Minerals’ “Mineral Processing” plant to locate on top of our aquifer, an area zoned as agricultural land by the RM. It is indeed agricultural as there are farms, dairy operations, a bee-keeping plant, a local greenhouse, and a Saskatoon berry farm, along with the possibility of a fish plant near Langham. All of these businesses will be endangered and disenfranchised by Fortune Minerals, along with local small acreage landowners whose land values will decrease as who wants to buy where Fortune Minerals is seriously depleting and endangering our water supply now and into the future? Homeowners in Langham, Dalmeny and Martensville should also be worried about their property values. Every Saskatchewan taxpaying resident would be subsidizing Fortune Minerals with all the aquifer water they want for free, a five-year pro-
vincial tax break, free toxic waste dumping grounds the size of city blocks (which can never be cleaned up and may sooner or later leak arsenic into the aquifer), and cheaper power and gas rates given by the province to new mineral procesing businesses like Fortune. Since Saskatchewan power is coal-fired, that means an increase in greenhouse gases at a time when global warming is proving to be very destructive and costly. The Saskatchewan Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization has said that asbestos passing through the plant which is deposited in the toxic waste pits can become windborne and thereby endanger people’s health. So eventually the province will have to deal with the costs of asbestos related health problems. So many drawbacks for the people of our area and for other Saskatchewan taxpayers. I ask what business sense does that make? There are horrendous costs for the local people and for the Rural Municipality of Corman Park, now and into the future. We all need to stand up and demand that our rights as residents be safeguarded and protected. Pat Crush Corman Park
Majority support Fortune Minerals project So hopefully by now most of the few dozen naysayers have finished spinning their nonfactual negative anti-business comments on the Fortune Metals project for the Saskatoon -Langham region, and now it is time to move on and say the majority of the approximately 300,000 Saskatoon and Corman Park area residents are 100 per cent behind this project. I have travelled this region’s (Corman Park) terrible third world condition roads and put
up with enough power outages and an incompetent telephone system much too long to know we could dearly use this well researched big project’s tax dollars to help us get into the 21st century with our infrastructure. Plus the employment and more tax dollars and spinoffs the Fortune Metals Project would create, well it goes without saying! Gary Wolitski Warman
Privatization breaks promises Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has repeatedly promised that his Government would not privatize any of Saskatchewan’s current Liquor stores!!! Yet, here he is doing exactly that. The four stores in Ituna, Langenburg, Kerrobert and Ponteix will be shut down in the next few months. These stores employed four full-time and eight part-time SLGA employees who have children attending local schools; they support local business and pay local taxes. The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) report these four stores also generated over $900,000.00 NET income in 2012-13 (which goes to public coffers). NUPGE also reports that

since Alberta liquor stores were privatized, Alberta has forgone $1.5 billion in tax revenue alone, while prices of beer, wine and spirits had the highest price on 11 of13 products surveyed. According to SGEU stats, last year, $218 million was returned to the public coffers from liquor sales alone. In the past five years, public liquor stores contributed over $1 billion to the province.

Provincial Politics
Delegates from every riding in the province, including rural ones, would travel on icy November roads just to debate resolutions that the NDP government of the day would largely ignore anyway. Nevertheless, sheer numbers were always the strength of this party, giving credence to the notion that it was a truly grassroots movement. Maybe it didn’t have the best financial machinery (although it often did), but it certainly had enough loyal foot soldiers to get out the vote on election-day. So to see a mere 350 souls at the recent annual NDP convention in Moose Jaw; only 281 were actually voting delegates; is a strong suggestion that the party is dying not only in rural Saskatchewan but also everywhere in the province. Sure, it was a nice May-June weekend with little at stake, given that we are about at the midway point of Premier Brad Wall’s second term. And, sure, even in NDP ranks the annual conventions aren’t nearly as important as they used to be, especially with their party mired in Opposition and with no real ability to influence government policy. But while New Democrats might want to spin this as just the new reality, the numbers don’t bode well for this party’s revitalization. Of course, this demise comes as no surprise to most residents
that were always the backbone of this party; they were what allowed the NDP to keep winning elections when they were already well past their best-before debate. But 350 people at an NDP convention is telling. By no small coincidence, the night before the convention Wall managed to attract 2,100 paying $250 a plate for the annual Premier’s dinner in Regina. Sure, everyone likes a winner. The winning government party always get support more easily. And, yes, this thinly veiled political event is really designed to hit up politically inactive, rich business types for cash. Nevertheless, it was hard not to notice the contrast. Perhaps an even more telling sign is that while the NDP convention was in full swing, Wall was in Saskatoon for the grand
opening of the province’s first full-service private liquor store run by the Federated Co-op. The Federated Co-op was once a strong ally of the NDP and many of its members are still tied to the NDP. In fact, its president, Scott Banda, son of a one-time NDP backbencher, made a spirited run for the NDP leadership against Lorne Calvert in 2001. But Banda has moved on since then. And it’s hard not to notice that he is about the same age as Wall and his contemporaries running the Saskatchewan government right now. In fact, they all went to the University of Saskatchewan about the same time in the 1980s. That post-baby-boom generation is absent in NDP ranks and has been missing for a while. And now it seems lot of other former New Democrats are missing as well.
When will we get a funding announcement for more overpasses? Is it just me or does it seem like when it comes to booming economies there is never a plan?

As everyone probably knows, the province is way behind when it comes to infrastructure upgrades and the government is not going to let a few dozen casualties in some of Saskatoon’s dangerous intersections stop them from sticking to their game plan of only building more overpasses within a balanced budget. How many times have the media written articles about the need for safer highways in Saskatchewan?

in rural Saskatchewan, who parted ways with the NDP two or three decades ago. Really, the process started with frustration over the anti-free-enterprise nature of the Allan Blakeney government that resulted in the NDP being wiped out in the rural areas in both the 1982 and 1986 elections. New Democrats made a brief recovery in 1991 in the wake of the Grant Devine government debt and incompetence, but the closure of rural hospitals by the Roy Romanow government has sealed the fate of the NDP in rural seats for the past two decades. But regardless of its lack of rural success, there were still devout New Democrats from rural ridings eager to trudge to their party’s annual convention. It was such supporters from both the city and the country

I don’t even want to hazard a guess because it seems like a continuous cycle. The main excuse is that overpasses are too expensive or that the province has to wait until study after study is devised on the route of the eventual Perimeter Highway before overpasses can be even thought about. With the province’s announcement last week of two new traffic enforcement units to cut down on speedy drivers, driving under the influence and driving while distracted, a big part of the Saskatchewan legislature’s Special Committee on Traffic Safety’s report, chaired by Prince Albert Carlton MLA Darryl Hickie also discussed the growing issue of intersection safety in this province. Corrections and Policing Minister, Christine Tell, referred to Hickie’s report during the media scrum after the

announcement, but it seems the importance of intersection safety still doesn’t carry much weight with the province. In the final report it stated that 25 per cent of fatal collisions, 57 per cent of injury collisions and 40 per cent of property-damage-only collisions occur at intersections. The report also stated that approximately 55 per cent of all injury collisions and 37 per cent of all property-damage-only collisions occur at urban intersections. With the exception of excessive speed, when you compare the statistics and the related repercussions of distracted driving and impaired driving stated in the report and compare it to the statistics for unsafe intersections in the report it would make you question why we are still waiting for an announcement for more overpasses.
We really shouldn’t be surprised. In 2012 Highway 11 and 12 Corridor study there was no mention of any recommendations for interchanges or recommendations that would result in more safety features at the four key Highway 12 intersections, said Martensville Mayor Kent Muench in the June 6 edition of the Gazette, in a story about the report. It is one of the reasons why I don’t understand government representation at the provincial or federal level. The studies have been done, statistics have been compiled. The people have spoken. But still we are caught in this endless spiral of inaction. The Sask Party’s MLA minions are elected by their constituencies to represent the interests of the people who have elected them. It’s time to take action.

Warman Catholic School Division amalgamates with Saskatoon division By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Catholic education in Warman took a huge step forward with the amalgamation of the Warman Catholic School Division (WCSD) and the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division (GSCSD). GSCSD board of education members voted unanimously at their board meeting Monday, June 9 to endorse a request by the WCSD to amalgamate. The GSCSD board felt it was an easy decision to make based on the dedication by WCSD members to expand Catholic education in the Warman area, said Tom Fortosky, board member for Saskatoon. “I am amazed at the work that Josie (Hodgkinson) put into this. It was just outstanding. You could see the commitment to Catholic education coming through from that community,” said Fortosky “As far as I am concerned I will do whatever it takes to support that. I look forward to working with that community on a go forward basis.” The WSCD board passed a motion following its May 15 board meeting with GSCSD officials to amalgamate with GSCSD May 20.
The next developments for amalgamation will be the discussion of legal matters, developing communication with the Warman community to inform them about services that are available for parents, how to access them and working on the design plan for the new joint-use school planned for Warman, said GSCSD Director of Education Greg Chatlain. Chatlain also said that the GSCSD will also be working with the WCSD members to develop a community council, which it is hoping to have in place by September. “The community council would be a formal arm of the board, which would be a way to keep the WCSD engaged in what is going on and allows us to have a reference point over the next little while,” said Chatlain. “We talked about that idea with WCSD and they are committed to that process.” The amalgamation marks the ever expanding network of communities outside of Saskatoon that have joined the GSCSD over the years including Martensville, Humboldt and Biggar. Diane Boyko, chair of the GSCSD board, said the amalgamation with Warman furthers the belief in the province that
Catholic education is a good choice for parents to make for their children.
“It is just good that we are building something. We are thrilled with the job the WCSD
did building the support for Catholic education and we are really happy that we have been
asked to be part of the journey for Catholic education in Warman,” said Boyko.

North Ridge subdivision set to add thousands of homes in Martensville By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The City of Martensville’s footprint is about to become a whole lot bigger, as a massive subdivision on the city’s northeastern edge rapidly takes shape. The first two phases of Lake Vista, a planned subdivision by North Ridge Developments, are a hive of construction activity, according to Darryl Altman, North Ridge Manager Land Development. Phase 1 is ready for residential construction, with homes already being built. Phase 2 will be ready by mid-August. Over the course of the summer, houses should be going up very quickly. In an interview on Wednesday, June 4, Altman said the deep underground services including water and sewer are all in place for Phase 1, and over the next month and a half, contractors will be putting in the remaining underground services for Phase 2. These include gas, power, phone, water and sewer. The next few months will also see ASL Paving doing work on curbing, roadwork and asphalt on the roadways in Phases 1 and 2 of the development. “So far this year, the weather hasn’t exactly been very co-
operative,” said Altman. “It’s not a normal season. We’ve lost some time due to the moisture conditions, but on the bright side, the contractors did complete a lot of the work over the winter. The north holding pond, which is designed to hold surface runoff and help with stormwater retention, is complete regarding dirt work.” Landscaping, grass, and asphalt walkways will be completed this year. A second holding pond is also nearly finished, and just needs a bit more periphery dirt work, said Altman. Lake Vista is a planned neighbourhood that is projected to add 1,100 residential dwelling units when fully complete. According to North Ridge Developments, that will increase the City of Martensville’s population by about 3,000 residents. The subdivision is being built in six phases, with each phase containing a variety of different housing types including single-family and multi-family units. The subdivision, which features interconnected parks, ponds and pathways, is bordered on the west by 10th Avenue North and on the south by Main Street. The development will also feature commercial areas that are linked to residential neighbourhoods.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
The Lake Vista subdivision by North Ridge Developments in Martensville’s northeast corner is projected to add 1,100 residential dwelling units to the city, making the neighbourhood home to an additional 3,000 residents At a Martensville City Council meeting in late May, North Ridge Developments received approval for its landscaping plan for the north holding pond and the Municipal Reserve area adjacent to 10th Avenue. Final approval is still needed from the province on some aspects for Phase 2, but the plan is working its way through the
system. “We have a few more small steps, but we’re nearing the end of the process,” said Altman. “It’s good timing, because interest has really picked up from potential homeowners over the past few weeks. We have had a lot of phone calls from buyers, and that’s a good indicator that people are interested in our
Lake Vista development.” In 2013, the City of Martensville was one of the communities in the province to be awarded a new joint-use school to serve the growing needs of the community. Altman said it is proposed that the school site be located within the Lake Vista neighbourhood. “This will further strengthen
and solidify this development moving forward,” said Altman. North Ridge Developments has projects currently underway in 13 municipalities across the province. Two other major developments being brought onto the market by the company in the Saskatoon region are in Dalmeny and Clavet.
Warman passes new fire prevention bylaw to align with neighbouring cities By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Warman City Council gave final reading to a Fire Prevention Bylaw at its regular meeting on Monday, June 9. The bylaw is similar to those already in place in Saskatoon and Martensville. The regulations thus ensure that developers and builders must comply with identical standards in all three municipalities, said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin. “The bylaw is very clear and is in line with both Saskatoon and Martensville’s bylaws as far as expectations and penaltiies for non-compliance,” Austin told council during a presentation at the meeting. “This
is done so all cities are on a fair playing field when it comes to development; so no single city has harsher or more lenient rules to influence where they bring their business. This bylaw also gives both the fire department and bylaw enforcment officer clear tools for keeping our city fire safe and allows for easily passed-on expectations to residential, commercial and industrial owneroccupants.” The bylaw outlines the role of the Warman Volunteer Fire Department, including its officers and members, and its operation and fees for service under an agreement with the city. It also covers the role of the department with respect to fire inspections and enforcement, and
the prevention and suppression of fires, hazardous substances, storage and disposal of flammable materials, and the use, sale and storage of fireworks.
NEW PUMPER TRUCK
City council agreed to award the tender for a new Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) pumper truck to Acres Industries of Wawanesa, Manitoba for a total price of $465,060. The new truck will be state of the art and is custom-built by the manufacturer to specifications laid out by the Warman Fire Department. The CAFS truck will be the second one in the region when it is delivered in the spring of 2015. Martensville Fire Department received delivery of
a CAFS pumper earlier this spring.
PAVING REPAIR TENDER
Council voted at the June 9 meeting to award a tender for the 2014 pavement repair contract to Iron Mountain Contractors. The contract amounts to a total price of $487,541 and covers 6,300 square meters, for an average price of $77.39 per square meter. The contractor is providing a two-year warranty on the pavement repairs, noted Warman Finacne Manager Clae Hack in his report to council. Pavement and roadbed substructure repairs are to be done on several intersections including Centennial and Central,

Central and 6th Avenue, King Crescent and 4th Street, Peters Street and Lane Crescent and other portions of roadways thoroughout the city.
CONTINGENCY FUND
City council also agreed to establish a general contingency fund for unforeseen emergencies. A total of $50,000 was earmarked for the fund in the current budget year, and Hack said it is recommended that $100,000 be set aside annually in the future. He noted that funds have had to be found in the past year to repair water mains that were damaged due to freezing, service connection repairs and other infrasturcture problems.
SPRING CLEANUP
Warman Public Works and Utilties Manager Randy Fehr told council that crack sealing on pavement is approximately half completed throughout the city. Dust control measures have also been applied on Range Road 3051 on Warman’s west side. He noted that back alley cleanup last month went well, with very few residents putting non-compliant items in the alleys. But, he added, in order for this service to continue, the city may well have to replace its existing garbage truck. Fehr said work is continuing on Memorial Gardens, Warman’s new cemetery. the water service trenches are dug and a part-time position has been filled.

Community Access Centre busier than ever while preparing for move By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It’s business as usual for the Martensville Community Acccess Centre (MCAC), even though the office of the volunteer-run resource centre is looking pretty bare these days. “We’re getting ready for the big move,” said MCAC Coordinator Kristee Lynn Adrian in an interview on Wednesday, June 4. “It’s a bit of a transition period right now, but we’re actually busier than ever because there’s a lot going on.” The MCAC is preparing to move out of the room in the Martensville Civic Centre it has called home since its founding several years ago. The space is being turned over the Martensville branch of the Wheatland Regional Library for use as a multi-purpose room. The MCAC is moving down the hall to new quarters formerly used by the city’s planning and recreation departments. The MCAC hopes to be all moved in by July 15. But before the move, there’s some serious renovation work that has to be done. “We have to take out a wall,” said Adrian. “We’ve just been granted permission to replace the wall with a load-bearing support beam. Knocking down the wall will give us more space so that we can better utilize that area. The rooms as they currently sit are just too small for us to use.” Adrian said the MCAC has been preparing for the move for several weeks. “We expected to be out by the end of April or early May, so we started emptying as many cupbaords as we could and putting our stuff in storage,” she said. “It’s a bit of an inconvenience, but we’re happy to still be in the same building. Storage will be a challenge since we won’t have the cupboards. On the other hand, we have had donations of storage totes and storage racks, so it should work out.” While many of the MCAC’s regular programs are taking a hiatus over the summer, some projects are still ongoing, including the “digital mapping” being done by the youth. The MCAC is also working to raise operating funds by preparing grant proposals and soliciting
sponsorships. She noted one local family, the Chivilos, regularly donate funds to help keep the centre operating. Adrian said the MCAC will rely heavily on volunteers to pitch in with the renovation work and also with the moving of furniture and resource materials. “If people want to chip in, we can use all the help we can get,” she said with a smile. “Our board members commit a lot of time and energy to this centre, and the more people we have to help out, the better.”
CANADA DAY PLANNING
Adrian said the MCAC is also focused heavily on prepar-
ing for the community’s upcoming Canada Day celebration on Tuesday, July 1. “We’ll have a day full of activities,” said Adrian. “We’re starting in the morning with a come and go tea for the seniors, and in the afternoon a lot of family-oriented activities and games. There will be a bouncy castle for the younger kids, a photo scavenger hunt, a Canada Day cake donated by Theodore’s Bakery, and a giant outdoor movie in the evening followed by fireworks.” All the action takes place at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre and Kinsmen Park.

blood donor clinic in warman
A blood donor clinic in Warman was a busy place on Tuesday, June 3, as more people than expected passsed through the doors of the Brian King Centre. Keitha Swenson, Warman city clerk (above) was among the civic employees, many of whom were first-time donors, who accepted a challenge put out by Warman City Manager Stanley Westby to donate blood. “As a community we should be proud of our accomplishment in contributing to such a worthy cause,” said Westby, The clinic took in a total of 78 units of blood, which exceeded the quota set out by Canadian Blood Services (CBS). A total of 85 potential donors attended the clinic, but some were unble to donate due to health conditions or other reasons. Upcoming blood donor clinics in this region are slated for Martensville’s North Ridge Centennial Community Centre on Wednesday, September 17, and again in Warman at the Brian King Centre on Wednesday, October 1.
The Martensville branch of the Wheatland Regional Library has almost doubled in size following recent renovations. And that’s made a lot of young readers very happy. The new addition to the library houses the children’s section, complete with comfortable chairs, couches and tables for youngsters to read books and do crafts with their peers and their parents. “It’s pretty nice, no doubt about it,” said Assistant Librarian Stacey Brooman in an interview on Wednesday, June 4. “Everyone comments on how bright and open everything is. It’s made a world of difference.” The library opened on Monday, June 2 after being closed for renovations during the latter part of May. The project involved removing an interior load-bearing wall separating the library from the former City of Martensville Council chambers. A support beam was erected to replace the wall, allowing the library to expand. The shelving for books was revamped so that there is much more open space. “It’s nice to have enough room now to exhibit the books and let people see what’s on the shelves,” she said. “Before everything was really crammed in so tight it was hard even to move between the rows of shelves.” Brooman said the library staff are still applying the finishing touches to the interior walls, and noted the work went as smoothly as could be expected. “We experienced a few hiccups, but I think it flowed along pretty nicely,” she said. “We had to be shut down one extra day, but that’s not bad.” The renovations meant the library staff haven’t had as much time to prepare the summer reading program, but it will still be rolled out in the

Sheri Tapp of Martensville reads a picture book to her daughter Payton in the new children’s section of the Martensville library. The library was closed for several weeks for renovations and reopened on Monday, June 2 next few weeks, she said. “It got pushed back a little, but the kids are already asking about it, and it will be back on track very soon. We’re into school visits now with the students in the younger grades where we introduce the program. It’s nice to see the kids excited about reading.” Even with the expanded facility, the library is still looking for additional space. Later this summer it will be taking over a room across the hall that currently houses
the Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC). The MCAC, in turn, will be relocating to a renovated space recently vacated by the City of Martensville Planning and Recreation Departments. “Story time for the younger kids will be starting up in the fall in the room across the hall,” said Brooman. “It’s going to be a multi-purpose room that will be where we have our activity centre, and it’s also going to be used for groups that need a meeting
space.” Brooman said she expects the brighter atmosphere created by the renovations will lead to an increase in circulation numbers at the library. “We’re already one of the highest in the system,” she said. “This will definitely help boost the numbers, which in turn will help us bring in more materials and more books. I’m hoping the changes will entice more people to come in and utilize the library.”

Martensville Buster Days a fun-filled event for family and friends
JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
It was difficult to find a place to watch the Martensville Buster Days parade in Martensville as hundreds of spectators gathered to stand or sit on folding chairs and blankets along the parade route. Meanwhile, the kids positioned themselves carefully to collect candy from passing floats. The three-day event featured family-oriented activities, a terrific fireworks display, a slo-pitch tournament, truck and motorcross racing, magic and clowns. It was a fun-fulled day for all.

Valley United SC U14 boys draw even against SUSC Spartans By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
It was a hard-fought game with plenty of scoring chances on both sides, but the Valley United SC U14 boys are happy with a 2-2 tie against the SUSC Spartans. In five games Valley United SC are just a game under .500 with two wins and three losses but head coach Kent Stanzel said the boys played well. “I wasn’t worried about the result. It was more about team performance,” said Stanzel. The game started off with some bad luck for United when in the opening half the Spartans crossed one inside the box, which deflected off a United player and into the net to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead. The United hustled back on a nice individual attempt by Harry Crampton, who was able to fight off a defender with just enough time to kick the ball to the centre of the net to even up the score at 1-1. Later in the first half, the Spartans answered back when they chipped a goal in underneath the bar to take a 2-1 lead
into the second half, but Andrew Konanz foiled the Spartans’ celebration with the game- tieing goal. As a new squad this year, the majority of the team played with other Saskatoon Youth Soccer teams last season. Stanzel said the boys have given it their all since the start of the season. “When the season started they were a new team and needed some guidance,” said Stanzel. “They put a lot of effort in and it is showing in their performance now.” This is the first year that Stanzel coached a team made up of players from Warman, Martensville, Rosthern, Langham and Dalmeny. Stanzel used to coach his son with Hollandia last year, but with no outdoor Hollandia team organized this year he decided to coach the Valley United U14 boys. Stanzel said it was a great opportunity. “For the kids to be able to play with their school friends. It keeps the fun in soccer and keeps them interested,” said Stanzel.

Martensville brothers prepare for world tournament By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Two Martensville athletes will have the opportunity to represent Canada at the World Junior Racquetball Championship in Cali, Columbia, October 19-25. Ian and Graham Frattinger are currently ranked first and second overall in Canada with hopes to add another title to their impressive resume. Graham said he enjoys the challenge of playing against different players and is looking forward to the world tournament. “I feel very excited and nervous because I don’t know the level of skill that will be at the competition,” said Graham. At provincial and national tournaments this year, Ian 12, has maintained his num-
ber one ranking in the U12 category in Canada, a spot he has had since he was nine years old. He has also been competing at national tournaments since he was six years old. Graham, 15, Ian is ranked second Frattinger in the U16 category and believes his command of the court and left handed approach will be an asset in the world tournament. Loren Prentice, national team racquetball coach, agrees. “Being a lefty is something he can use to his advantage because left-handed players are not common,” said Prentice. “His serving is a lot stronger than some of the other kids in his group which is something
that we have been working on over the past few years.” Prentice said when it comes to the skill set of Graham and Ian there are only slight differences. “I would Graham say that GraFrattinger ham gambles a little more than what Ian might. Ian’s serve is more effective than his brother; but Graham will use his speed to cover more court,” said Prentice. The only difference with the world tournament is that only Graham is old enough to compete. The worlds only accepts athletes from U14 to U18. Ian can still compete in a tournament in his category called the Friendship Cup, which is de-

signed for siblings or competitive athletes who have made the national team but are younger. On the world stage Prentice said the United States, Bolivia and Mexico will be the teams to beat, which shouldn’t be a problem, seeing where five of the 10 top ranking senior racquetball players are from Saskatchewan. Prentice said parental support, great coaches and dedicated athletes have all created a winning tradition for racquetball athletes in Saskatchewan. “When our club started turning out junior national calibre athletes 15 years ago, up an coming racquetball players wanted to do the same,” said Prentice. “Both of these boys are great athletes and have a lot of potential.

Langham youth heads to USA for international high school rodeo championships By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Chase Quam, a Grade 7 student at W.W. Brown School in Langham has lassoed himself the right to compete at the world’s largest junior high school rodeo event. The 10th annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo (NJHFR) is slated for June 22-28 in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. An estimated 1,000 contestants from 42 American states, five Canadian provinces and from Australia will be vying for more than $75,000 in prizes, over $100,000 in US College scholarships, and the chance to be named a NJHFR National Champion. Quam is one of five young athletes from Saskatchewan chosen to represent the province at both the NJHFR and

the Canadian High School Rodeo Association National Championship finals in Nanton, Alberta July 24-26. The other youthful wranglers are Riley McClintock (Rockglen), JC Knight (Swift Current), Jud Colliness (Kincaid) and Amy Bowditch (Sylvania).
Quam will be competing in four events at the NJHFR: team roping, chute-dogging, breakaway roping and goat-tying. At the Canadian national championship, he’ll be entered in those same events plus one other: ribbon-roping. “It’s very exciting for Chase to have this opportunity,” said Kimberly Quam, Chase’s mother and a member of the board of the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo Association. “This is the first time he’s qualified to go to both events. Last year was his rookie year and he qualified for the Canadian finals in three events, but this year he has just grown so much and he’s really excelled in all the events. We’re very proud of his accomplishments.” Chase Quam comes by his rodeo skills honestly.
“Chase has been raised on rodeo,” said his mother. “He learned to ride about the same time he learned to walk. My husband comes from a long line of rodeo cowboys. Both his grandfather and father were very involved in their communities and in the sport of rodeo, so with Chase it’s almost second nature.” She said her son takes great pride in his horses and treats them with respect. “There’s a lot riding on his horse, literally,” said Quam. “He makes sure they’re fed, conditioned and properly cared for.” Quam said high school rodeo competition benefits young athletes in many ways. “The kids have to maintain high academic marks in order to compete in the rodeos as a
member of the association,” she said. “Chase has to submit his report cards twice a year to the association, so it’s a real motivating factor. If he wants to compete, he has to keep up his marks.” The emphasis on academics is also evident at the NJHFR event, said Quam. “The kids are competing not just for the championship, but also for scholarships to US colleges and universities. In the States, rodeo is a big sport and scholarships allow athletes to continue their studies at postsecondary institutions. One of Chase’s goals is to compete at a high level so he can be eligible for a full-ride scholarship.” In order to take part in the world’s largest high school rodeo later this month, Chase Quam had to apply to his teach-
ers at the high school to be allowed to write some of his final exams early. “The school has been very accommodating,” said Qualm. “He has the support of his teachers and the school. They’ve really rallied behind him. He’s the only student at the school competing in this sport at this level, so it’s nice to see.” Quam said having good facilities in the area for high school rodeos has made a big difference for many young athletes. In addition to the OK Corral north of Martensville run by Ray Kneeland, Rosthern and One Arrow First Nation have high school rodeos this fall. “We’ve been tremendously lucky to have good communities with rodeos so close to home,” she said.
Area students show school colours at provincial track and field championships Area students did their schools proud at the SHSAA provincial track and field championships in Moose Jaw.

Baerg named Dalmeny Citizen of the Year position. I can’t think of a better person to inspire her young charges.” Ashley is keen to get out on the water and do some skiing. “Now that finally the ice is off all the lakes and it’s hopefully warming up, I should get to go skiing here soon.” The basketball season is over, but Ashley still needs to be training and staying in shape. Her teaching assistant job will wrap up for the summer soon, and she’s thinking of getting a job, and getting up to the lake as much
as possible. But the summer also holds other possibilities of training camps and competitions. She says the Canadian team is invited to the US waterski nationals. “That will be at the end of August in Atlanta. My manager just emailed and asked for my shirt size for team shirts so I’m assuming we’re going.” There will probably be provincials and Canadian nationals likely in the Toronto area, and possibly a training camp in the Miami
area in July. Much of this is tentative, but “if they all pan out it will be a busy summer. There might not be time for a job! I might just have to work for my Dad since he might be understanding,” laughs Ashley. “Thanks to everybody I have around me and what amounts to a huge support system, I’ve been able to accomplish this. I knew there was encouragement and I wasn’t just doing this all on my own,” she said.

WHS track athletes perform well Submitted by
MATT LINNER
Warman High School Track Coach

Legends set to host Women’s Open By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Legends Golf Club is gearing up to host the Saskatoon Women’s Open Championship later this month. It’s the first time the twoday event has been played in Warman, according to Kathy Dahl, a Warman resident and one of the organizers. The tournament is slated to kick off at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 23 and wraps up Tuesday afternoon, June 24. The deadline for registration is Monday, June 16. The tournament has been around since 1926 in one form or another, making it one of the longest-running amateur golf events in the province. It’s also one of the biggest, and takes a fair amount of planning and involves a lot of volunteers, according to Dahl. The Legends Golf Club was chosen by the Saskatoon Women’s Golf Council as the 2014 host site about three years ago, but planning began seriously last fall, she noted. “The venue changes every year,” said Dahl. “But it’s always at a course in the Saskatoon region. Last year it was held in Rosthern.”
The whole idea behind the tournament is to promote the sport of golf among women, said Dahl. She noted the tournament includes four divisions: Amateur, Senior, Super Senior and Junior. “The Senior division is for women 50 years and older. The Super Senior category is for women who are 65 and older,” said Dahl. “In order to enter you need to have a Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) card and have an established handicap.” Dahl said she expects the tournament to be quite competitive, but added it’s also a highly social and fun event. “I would say it’s fair to say the competition and fun elements are there in equal measure,” she said. Dahl said the women make up a healthy portion of the membership at the Legends Golf Club. “The Tuesday Ladies league here in Warman is very active,” she said. “I think it’s nice to have a league that allows women of all ages to get together. It’s a safe environment for them to play, especially if they’re just learning the sport. We do a lot of fun events over
the season, with awards and a banquet at the end to wrap things up.”
History of the Women’s Open Submitted by
C. JOAN PIRIE
From 1926 through to 1989 the Saskatoon Amateur Ladies Golf Championship was sponsored by the Hudson’s Bay Company. The original trophy was replaced in 1972 and again in 1989. In 1997 the Amateur and Senior Championships were combined into one tournament. Jubilee Ford donated the Saskatoon Senior Ladies Trophies in 1981. In 2004 trophy/plaques were added for the Ladies Amateur low net and the 65+ low gross and low net. A lady golfer can participate in both championships but only one tournament was held. The championship is now open to all lady members with established handicaps at Saskatchewan CLGA affiliated clubs with a club course handicap factor of 36 or less.

Provincial employment numbers up in May May was an exceptional month for Saskatchewan’s job market according to new figures released by Statistics Canada on Friday, June 6. There were 573,300 people employed in May 2014, the highest ever recorded for any month. That means 12,400 more people were working in the province compared to last May. Saskatchewan’s employment growth of 2.2 per cent was the second highest among provinces; only three other provinces had job growth. “On a national basis, Saskatchewan had the second best percentage increase when comparing job numbers from May 2014 to May 2013, and was one of only four provinces to show
an increase,” Associate Economy Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “The western provinces and Ontario were the only parts of the country to record job growth.” Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate in May 2014 was 3.7 per cent, the lowest among the provinces and lower than the 7.0 per cent recorded on a national basis (seasonally adjusted). Regina’s unemployment rate was 3.7 per cent and Saskatoon’s was 4.2 per cent, ranking first and second among 35 major Canadian cities. Aboriginal unemployment off-reserve was 11.1 per cent. The Aboriginal unemployment rate has declined year-over-year for the past 20 months.

RBC sets down roots in Warman, new branch opening up this fall By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It’s still a few more months till the new RBC bank branch opens in Warman, but staff members of the innovative financial services store are already putting down roots in the community. Literally. On Tuesday, June 3, branch manager Matthew Kern-Ali and several staff members chipped in to plant flowers and do some “spring cleaning” at a public area near the Legends Centre. It was all part of the “RBC Day of Caring,” according to Kern-Ali. “The spirit of the Day of Caring is to encourage employees, along with friends and family, to give back to the community,” said KernAli in an interview.

the bank provides donations to many charitable organizations across the country on a regular basis. “Last month, about 250 organizations received grants totalling about $250,000,” he said. “We make donations to registered charities, and the Legends Centre is a registered charity that benefits the people of this city and the region through sports and cultural activities.” The Day of Caring is one of several RBC initiatives that support a broad range of community and environmental programs desigend to “strengthen the social fabric” of communities.
INNOVATIVE STORE
Kern-Ali said while the new RBC branch current-
ly under construction in the Legends Plaza on Centennial Boulevard won’t be ready until October, the staff are keen to to become a part of the community. The new branch will be “very unique,” said Kern-Ali. “We actually don’t refer to it as a bank branch because it will be a full-on retail store. It’s only the second one of its kind in Saskatchewan. The first one opened recently in Regina.” He added the store is fundamentally differerent than the traditional bank branch. “This will be very proactive and interactive, with lots of touch-screen computers, and also an advice meeting area so we can provide advice to our clients on different events that can help both our
clients and our partners,” he said. “It’s very different than the old reactive approach to banking.” Kern-Ali said another big difference is flexibility. “Our senior acount managers, account managers and mortgage specialists will all have laptops, so if it’s more convenient to meet a client at their place of work, or at their home, that’s something we can do,” he said. “We can bring our laptops out and conduct business that way. It’s a higher approach to customer service.” The Warman RBC facility will have a branch manager, assistant branch manager, three senior account managers and three customer service representatives to start with, said Kern-Ali.

Martensville seniors’ complex close to construction By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A 32-unit adult seniors housing complex in Martensville’s new Lake Vista neighbourhood is likely to begin construction this fall. “We’re just looking for a few more tenants and a few more investors,” according to Tamara McMurren, Marketing and Sales representative with Bridge Road Developments, the Manitoba-based company responsible for the design and construction of the fourstorey complex. “We’re very close to the numbers we need to get this started. The land is in place and we’re looking forward to getting the shovels in the ground.” At an open house in Saskatoon on Tuesday, June 3, representatives from Bridge Road offered prospective tenants and investors a look at what the new residence will look like. Designed for adults age 50 and over, it is geared toward a “low-maintenance lifestyle” with features that allow residents to live independently in their homes as long as they area able. These features include wide, wheelchair friendly bathrooms and hallways. The need for more independent living units for seniors was recognized in Martensville after several community meetings focused on the issue beginning in 2010. A committee of residents, including Terri Hetterly, a former city councilor and current local contact for the group, explored several options and eventually settled on a model promoted by Bridge Road Developments. The company was founded in 2007 and over the past several years has developed 350 apart-

ment homes in 22 smaller urban communities across Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The Martensville housing complex is the largest project the company has undertaken in Saskatchewan. “Typically we do 18 or 24unit projects,” said Peggy Burton, Marketing and Design Manager with Bridge Road Developments. “But the market in Martensville and area is very strong because of the incredible growth that’s happening right now. It’s a very desirable location.” McMurren said potential tenants can reserve a suite by putting up a thousand dollar, totally-refundable deposit. That will ensure they will have the advantage of picking out the suite they want, as well as selecting the finishings. “A month before construction starts is when we need them to sign the lease and complete the paperwork for the financing,” said McMurren. “We’re looking to get the construction started by September.”
The suites range in size from 1030 square feet to 1343 square feet, feature private balconies, indoor heated garage parking and storage, security entrances controlled from each suite, an interconnected fire alarm sys-
tem ad engineered, sound-resistant walls. Information on the development is available online at www.bridgeroad.ca or by contacting Terri Hetterly at 306-249-1917 or Tamara McMurren at 1-855-834-6318.

A series of important announcements were made during the past week that will greatly impact traffic safety in this constituency and around the province. Saskatchewan people will be safer on provincial roadways with the introduction of two new Dedicated Traffic Safety Enforcement Units. Each unit will consist of 30 officers, 15 from existing provincially funded positions and 15 new officers funded by SGI. The two units will begin operating in central and southeast Saskatchewan. Up until now, Saskatchewan has not had a dedicated highway traffic enforcement unit. Saskatchewan has one of the worst rates of injury and collisions on highways. With 60 more officers dedicated to enforcing traffic laws, drivers will have additional encouragement to change behaviours that could result in a traffic collision, making our roads safer for all road users. Also announced last week was the introduction of reduced speed zones at two high traffic highways that have seen high collision rates, including one on Highway 12 at Martensville. The speed limit has been reduced from 110 to 90 km/h for a three kilometer stretch at Martensville. As Martensville residents know, turning left across the divided highway to drive towards Saskatoon can be dangerous, and it is hoped that with reduced speed, the frequency and severity of collisions can be reduced. We all realize that the ultimate solution to the busy intersections at Martensville and Warman are overpasses, and your government is working towards that goal. Overpasses take a long time to plan and build and until such time as they are in place, we all need to do what we can to make it safer for ourselves, our families and other drivers on the road. The intent here is to save lives, and reducing your speed by 20 km/h for three kilometers will only cost you 22 seconds, and it may save someone’s life. Finally, earlier this week we announced that the province of Saskatchewan will contribute $50 million to the North Commuter Parkway Bridge in Saskatoon as part of tripartite deal with the City of Saskatoon and the Government of Canada. This will allow a north bridge to be built in about two years that will ease traffic congestion and allow for smoother traffic flow for Saskatoon and area residents. I was honoured to be asked by the Premier last week to serve as your new Minister of Highways. There are many challenges in the province to meet the current demands of the growth that we have welcomed into the province. More people and more jobs mean more traffic and busier roads, and the infrastructure needs to accommodate that reality. That is my challenge as Minister of Highways and one that I will be working hard on your behalf to achieve.

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). Brad Toth Municipal Planner

Hepburn Great Strides walk raises funds for Cystic Fibrosis research

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.

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.

Saskatchewan NHLers make watching the playoffs fun I can’t believe that I am going to write about the Montreal Canadiens again, but I feel I have to.

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

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.

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. Leadoff batter Aaron Bohrson singled and made it home when
Warman Gems pitcher Ryan Olde delivers a fastball during a game against the Hanley Merchants on Thursday, May 29. Both the Gems and the Merchants are gearing up for another run at the Saskatchewan Senior Men’s C provincial championship, slated to take place in Prince Albert the weekend of July 25-27

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.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
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. Our older guys are older but we’re energetic too and we’ll try to pass that down to the young ‘uns.” With Sheets, Dressler and Simon gone, there are some big-time openings on the of-

“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 Hanley Merchants were scheduled to play the North Batleford Ilta Jays on Sunday, June 1 at BVI. Their next game is Monday, June 9 at BVI against the Saskatoon Bridge City Rivercats at 6:45 p.m.

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 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.

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-

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). Brad Toth Municipal Planner

Hepburn Great Strides walk raises funds for Cystic Fibrosis research

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.

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. Leadoff batter Aaron Bohrson singled and made it home when
Warman Gems pitcher Ryan Olde delivers a fastball during a game against the Hanley Merchants on Thursday, May 29. Both the Gems and the Merchants are gearing up for another run at the Saskatchewan Senior Men’s C provincial championship, slated to take place in Prince Albert the weekend of July 25-27

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. Our older guys are older but we’re energetic too and we’ll try to pass that down to the young ‘uns.” With Sheets, Dressler and Simon gone, there are some big-time openings on the of-

“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 Hanley Merchants were scheduled to play the North Batleford Ilta Jays on Sunday, June 1 at BVI. Their next game is Monday, June 9 at BVI against the Saskatoon Bridge City Rivercats at 6:45 p.m.

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

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.

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-
