Village of Clavet weighing options on drainage solutions

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Village of Clavet councilors will soon have to decide on what their options will be for better community drainage based on a report currently being compiled by Saskatoonbased SAL Engineering.

The Village’s drainage pond, located adjacent to CN’s railway tracks and close to 2nd Avenue, was causing concern to residents who own acreages on the south side.

The Village rented equipment to pump out some of the water for the short term, but

later decided that it was going to need help from trained professionals.

“We had Canadian Dewatering come in and set up a pipe line to pump the water out. It was difficult to find a place to pump the water because everyone around here knows the river is high,” said Village of Clavet Mayor Blair Bentley. “It took a while to find someone who would accept the water that was in close proximity to the village so we didn’t have to pump it miles but we had to close off a street and pump it through one of the culverts under the

highway down the service road and toward Cargill.”

It was also an unexpected cost for the Village to the tune of $42,000, which went towards renting equipment and for Canadian Dewatering’s labour to set up piping to release the water.

Bentley said the Water Security Agency (WSA) paid for half of the cost through the agency’s Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Funding grant.

He said the WSA will also pay half of the cost of the engineering report.

Bentley said he hopes to

GENERAL STORE 239-2122

have a plan in place by next summer to rectify the problem, whether that is putting in a berm or looking at other ideas, which will depend on the results of the engineering report.

“There is a culvert under the tracks and if it indeed washed out it would be a pending disaster for a train if a derailment was caused by the softening of the rail bed,” said Bentley. “We can usually handle rainfall, but it’s spring runoff that always concerns us. That is why we are trying to push to get some answers.”

RM of Corman Park records $1.1 million surplus in 2013

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park recorded a net operating surplus before adjustments of $2,523,359 and a net operating surplus after cash flow adjustments of $1,113,148 in 2013, according to its auditors.

The RM released its audited financial report for the 2013 fiscal year during its council meeting June 16. The audit was put together by Jensen Stromberg Chartered Accountants. Details of the report also revealed an increase in cash/ investment and accounts payable accounts was due to outstanding municipal and Prairie Spirit Division School taxes as well as potash tax revenue sharing payments that were not paid until January 2014 and totaled $9,501,448.07.

The report also stated that an increase of $432,786 in taxes receivable was due to the fact that the RM’s taxable assessments increased substantially from the previous year and no discount was offered in 2013. This resulted in many ratepayers waiting until the end of the year to pay municipal taxes.

The increase in accounts receivables was due to $317,786.75 in potash tax payments not being received until January, 2014; and a further $240,000 was the result of an increase in road hauling fees.

River levels on the rise

The spillway has been opened a little further at Gardiner Dam. According to the Water Security Agency, inflows to Lake Diefenbaker from the heavy rainfall events in Alberta are now materializing in Saskatchewan. Flows peaked in Medicine Hat over the weekend at roughly 3,000 cubic metres per second (m3/s), and peak inflows of 3,300 m3/s were expected to arrive at Lake Diefenbaker on Tuesday with the lake level peaking around July 3.

In order to not exceed the full supply level of Lake Diefenbaker, outflow from Gardiner Dam will be increased from approximately 920 m3/s to 1,100 m3/s. This will result in the current water level on the South Saskatchewan River downstream of Gardiner Dam rising by approximately 0.3 m above the current level. Flooding is likely to occur on some low lying agricultural land located in the flood plain downstream of the dam, however it will be less than the event in 2013 when peak outflow was approximately 2,000 m3/s.

Saskatoon Correctional Centre Urban Camp Manager Giles Saulnier shows off the new rototiller that will help control weeds in the Garden of Hope. Vegetables raised in the garden will be donated this fall to the Saskatoon Food Bank.

Growing hope for the future Correctional centre garden sewing the seeds of self-improvement for inmates

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The garden is planted, and there is still plenty of hard work involved in weeding, watering and keeping the pests away. But this fall when the harvest is in, it will be all worth it.

The Garden of Hope at the Urban Camp is entering its fifth year. Planted, tended and harvested by inmates at the minimum-security facility adjacent to the Saskatoon Correctional Centre, the Garden of Hope started out four years ago as an experiment to utilize several acres of unused land at the facility. It’s a project that’s proven so successful it’s become a showpiece for the provincial correctional system.

By raising vegetables for the food bank and an inner-city school, the Garden of Hope provides a way for inmates to turn their lives around.

According to Urban Camp Manager Giles Saulnier, the garden doesn’t just feed empty stomachs. It nurtures self-respect, instills confidence and promotes life-skills for people who are looking to improve their lives.

“I think when people see what we can achieve with the inmates here at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre, it will really help change their perception,” said Saulnier.

“There is a misconception that these guys are locked up all day and they don’t do anything, but the reality is they’re working. They’re employed not just in the urban camp, where we have work crews that go out and help organizations and municipalities do work that needs to be done, but they’re also employed in the main correctional centre. They cook food and clean the building and many other tasks, in addition to participating in programming to address their addiction problems and so on.”

Learn all the ins and outs, BEFORE you leave our store

Of all the programming and projects at the correctional centre, the Garden of Hope is the most high-profile. Every fall, the harvest is presented to the Saskatoon Food Bank in a public ceremony.

Earlier this year, there was some discussion about letting the land lie fallow for a year to give it a rest, because last year’s harvest was not as bountiful as the first three years, said Saulnier. “But everybody wanted to see it continue,” he said. “And our private-sector partners stepped up to the plate to help us overcome the problem of low soil fertility.”

Saulnier said Loraas Disposal donated 140 yards of compost, and Early’s Farm and Garden centre donated potassium-rich fertilizer.

Small communities fund still up in the air

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Saskatchewan communities may have to wait a little bit longer for Small Community Fund applications.

In March the federal government announced the fund, which will include $1 billion of funding for projects in municipalities with a population base of under 100,000 residents.

During the April 22 RM of Corman Park council meeting, administration put forward a list of infrastructure projects that could benefit from the program – including paving 1.5 miles of Beam Road from the entrance of Bizhub towards Highway 684. That project is estimated to cost $2.3 million.

Other notable projects that could receive funding include: • paving 3.5 miles of Baker Road from Highway 11 to Highway 219, which would be cost shared with hamlets for a total

cost of $3 million • a public works shop and water tank fill station for a cost of $2 million • construction and paving of Auction Mart Road three miles west of Highway 684 at a cost of $3.2 million All highway projects that qualify will receive 50 per cent while all other projects that qualify will receive 33 per cent of the funding.

The Government of Saskatchewan municipal relations website states that it became aware of new PTIC program design information during Canada’s New Building Canada Fund News Release on March 28, 2014.

As a result, the province and federal government are currently negotiating PTIC program details. Until an agreement is reached, the Government of Saskatchewan will not be taking applications for

(306) 373-7368

521 South Railway St. W. Warman www.clarkssupply.com

PTIC. Sarah Still, communications consultant for municipal relations, said “the government is not in a position to comment at this point as we are still in negotiations with the federal government.”

The municipal relations ministry also stated that the negotiation and implementation of a new 10 year municipal infrastructure program will take time, and provincial officials are working diligently to move forward as quickly as possible.

We are not in a position to provide estimated time lines for program rollout at this time.

As more information becomes available, the Ministry of Government Relations will be in contact with its municipal partners to provide more details.

Corman Park approves foundational documents for P4G partnership

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park Council endorsed the foundational documents for the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) and its regional Plan at a June 16 council meeting.

The documents include a P4G Terms of Reference (TOR), work plan, communications and engagement strategy and budget.

The TOR identifies the creation of two P4G committees, a Regional Oversight Committee consisting of elected representatives from each of the municipalities in P4G and a Planning and Administrative Committee consisting of municipal and Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) staff.

The TOR sets out the scope, duties, membership and voting structure of each committee.

The work plan will outline the tasks necessary for completing the regional plan, the communications and engagement strategy will outline key stakeholder groups such as First Nations and land owners and will identify a variety of communication options.

A budget proposal identifies a need for $926,000 in funding for the regional plan.

The foundational documents were approved and recommended for endorsement by the councils of the P4G municipalities during a Regional Oversight Committee meeting

on April 24.

On June 19 the Regional Oversight Committee took its next steps in the Regional Plan process by approving the hiring of a project manager, releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) and hiring a facilitator/consultant, expected to be in place by fall 2014. The Regional Plan is targeted for completion by June 2016.

The total cost of the project manager will be $248,000 over three years and $686,000 for the consultant, said RM of Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore in an interview last week.

Tittemore explained that the total allocation of the project from all partners is $200,000 from the RM, $296,000 from the City of Saskatoon, $200,000 from Warman and Martensville and $30,000 from the Town of Olser.

During the RM of Corman Park Council Meeting June 16 Division 1 Councilor John Germs said there are some things the RM must avoid.

“I know there is a lot of development pressure and I know everything is put on hold until we go through this two year process,” said Germs. “For most people it is kind of hard to understand.

I think it is frustrating for some ratepayers. I just hope we don’t create an artificial land bank for the purpose to grow someday.”

Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen understood his concern about creating an arti-

ficial land bank through this partnership, but she was also concerned about how equal representation will be at the table.

“When you have three or four urbans and one rural municipality and each partner gets one equal vote it is hard to see it is being really equal, whether it is fair, well that is debatable,” said Janzen.

Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park disagreed.

“I don’t think we are the victim. I have been told at side meetings that the RM has the most control in this partnership because it is our land.”

The Saskatoon North Planning for Growth is one of ten regional inter-municipal partnerships in the province.

Bonnie Gorelitza, Director of Planning and Regulations for the City of Martensville, said P4G will be in a class all its own.

“At the end of this we are

all going to have a proposed future rural and urban land uses on a regional planning map, so there is going to be an overriding governing structure and the establishment of a regional servicing strategy and policies to guide the use on a regional scale.”

Tittemore said last year the province put legislation in place that would allow them to force rationalization.

“It is something that we feel they are not going to do,

but we have taken that as a bit of a nudge from the province to let us know that this is something they would like us to work towards,” said Tittemore.

Sheryl Spence, Mayor of the City of Warman, said she would be interested in regional transportation networks as a top proirity and servicing future development and compatible future land use.

School division approves difficult budget Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

The 2014/15 budget for Prairie Spirit School Division is being called difficult and frustrating by the Board of Education.

Larry Pavloff, Board Chair, said this is the most challenging budget the Prairie Spirit Board of Education has ever faced. The Board approved the school division’s 2014/15 budget at its regular meeting on Monday, June 16.

“Even with a status quo budget, Prairie Spirit School Division is in a deficit position of $2.9 million,” Pavloff explained.

To offset the nearly $3 million shortfall for 2014/15, the Board made the unprecedented decision to apply reserve funds to operational costs and adjust spending in other operational areas.

“Using reserve funds to balance our budget is not sustainable in the long-term,” Pavloff said.

The budget includes operating expenses of over $111 million for the school division’s 45 schools in 28 communities surrounding the City of Saskatoon.

This will be the ninth consecutive year of enrolment growth in Prairie Spirit School Division. It is expected that the school division will increase by over 130 students this fall for a total student enrolment of over 10,200. As a result of the increased student enrolment, an additional 8.55 full-time equivalent teaching positions will be added, in accordance with the Division’s staffing formula.

The 2014/15 budget maintains staffing at current levels with the hope that the provincial government will have an opportunity to review the funding formula and make the nec-

essary adjustments for Prairie Spirit’s unique funding circumstances. The provincial government determines the funding allocated to each school division in the province.

In a recent meeting with local MLAs and Education Minister Don Morgan, it was noted that Prairie Spirit should be proud of its accomplishments.

The Minister indicated that the Ministry would require time to determine if there is any way to assist the school division outside of the current funding structure.

IMPACT ON STUDENTS

The Board expressed its concern that an ongoing budget shortfall of this magnitude will impact every facet of the school division, including staffing, and will negatively impact student achievement. “We are very proud of our graduation rate of over 87% and the high levels of achievement of our First Nations and Métis students,” Pavloff said. “We do not want to see students impacted as a result of budget constraints.”

“We have strategically planned and allocated resources to support students who need extra assistance,” said John Kuzbik, Director of Education.

“We know that our commitment to improving adult learning has a positive impact on student achievement results.

These supports will be in jeopardy if our funding will not allow us to sustain these programs.”

BUDGET DETAILS

Although the provincial government provided some additional funds to Prairie Spirit in the new budget, the funding increase does not cover the annual increases in operational expenses, even with a “status

quo” budget. These increases include salary increments, new agreements and utility increases.

In addition, the Ministry requires all school divisions to find efficiencies in their general operating budget. Kuzbik reported that Prairie Spirit’s efficiency reduction was more than $400,000 and another efficiency factor is expected to be included in the 2015/16 funding from the Ministry.

In fact, the “per student” funding in Prairie Spirit has actually decreased by $45/student when compared to last year, Kuzbik noted. With a budget exceeding $100 million, the school division’s increase in funding totaled only $400,000, an increase of 0.4%.

The provincial government introduced a new education funding formula two years ago.

Although the formula is meant to be equitable, Prairie Spirit’s funding has been negatively affected. “The funding formula is not working for our school division,” said Kuzbik.

He added that next year the school division will lose the transition funding that was in place as part of the new funding formula. Transition funding was a recognition by the Ministry that the new funding formula would have a negative impact on some school divisions. For 2014/15, Prairie Spirit received over $890,000 in transition funding, down from $895,000 in 2013/14 and $3.2 million in 2012/13.

The Ministry of Education requires the Board of Education to submit its final budget

by June 30 each year. The Ministry is responsible for reviewing and approving the budget prior to the start of the new fiscal year, which begins September 1 through August 31.

Vanscoy School receives grant for grounds project To enrich students’ learning experience through nature, Vanscoy School received $1500 in funding from Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds, a national program that helps create inviting, dynamic school grounds with diverse natural features. The funding will support Vanscoy’s greening project to landscape their outdoor classroom with native trees and plants.

The project will give students, present and future, the opportunity to learn about and connect with nature right on their own school grounds.

“We knew we had an opportunity to give our students something special,” says Shannon Mcleod, a Teacher at Vanscoy School. “Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds and Ens Auto generously helped give our students the opportunity to

get their hands dirty and learn from nature on our school grounds.”

Toyota has a rich history of respect for people, continuous improvement (or kaizen) and giving in the communities where associates and customers live, work and play. Since 2000, Toyota Canada and Evergreen have partnered to bring school communities together to transform barren school grounds into healthy, natural and creative outdoor classrooms. The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program has reached over 3,000 schools across Canada providing funding and consulting support.

The program connects with schools locally through regional Evergreen consultants and Toyota Dealerships across the country.

Benefits of school ground

greening projects are many: increased enthusiasm for learning, environmental awareness and stewardship, enhanced motivation for teaching, improved student behaviour, increased physical activity and opportunities for community involvement in school life.

“Respect for the environment is built into Toyota’s core values, and aligning with likeminded partners like Evergreen allows us to share this respect with future generations,” says Mr. Seiji Ichii, President and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc. “Toyota Canada is proud to support the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program.

Through the program, over 1.4 million Canadian children todate have learned to respect the environment, and their enthusiasm for nature will ensure a greener world in the future.”

Some RMs in increasing conflict

Only a matter of time?

Saskatoon City Council took the right step in defeating a motion Monday evening that, if passed, would have resulted in two-tier recreational programming.

Responding to concerns that its very own residents were being denied spaces in programs such as swimming lessons at city operated leisure facilities, Saskatoon City Council attempted to introduce a staggered registration calendar. City residents would have the first 48 hours to register for programs before any remaining spaces would be provided to non-residents.

Thankfully, the vote was tied and, therefore, defeated. Those living outside Saskatoon will still have equal access to programs and facilities not available or offered in their home communities.

With only one more vote needed to move the staggered registration plan forward, one question remaining is how long will it be until this type of motion passes and non-Saskatoon taxpayers become second-class citizens with the stroke of a pen?

But, perhaps the bigger question for some on Saskatoon City Council to consider is the economic impact of all those people who spend money and create economic wealth in and for that city. Sure, there are those who will take their kids to swimming lessons and drop a few bucks here and there on things like fuel and food but what about all those rural families who own businesses and employ hundreds, if not thousands, of people? They are creating the wealth that allows taxes to be paid in the first place.

Policies like the one city council flirted with Monday night make it that much easier for people to vote with their feet and transport their wallets to other jurisdictions to spend money.

For that reason alone, introducing staggered registrations is a non-starter in this day and age of regional cooperation.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Not convinced Fortune Minerals refinery will be asset With regard to the letter from the writer in Warman: He sees Fortune Minerals as an asset only.

Does he truly belive that there will be no repercussions from this operation and its use of the aquifer and the fouling of the land by installing a holding pond for the resulting chemicals?

Fortune Minerals intends to run a pipe through the aquifer. This alone bodes no for the aquifer and its users: us.

Experts say no harm will come of this whole project. Not right now. Where will these ex-

perts be in a few years time when the pipe corrodes and springs leaks and the holding pond seeps?

Not available.

People in and around Waman are somewhat removed by distance from the sphere of Fortune Minerals and the concerns developed from it.

The whole idea of Fortune Minerals setting up shop here concerns me greatly. Anyone who is not has his head in the sand.

This is one kind of progress we do not need.

Doreen Smith

In this new Saskatchewan, we have both urban growth and a very different economy infringing on the old system of rural municipalities.

Provincial Politics

And there does seem to be increasing conflict as a result.

The thought crosses one’s mind as a result of the latest in the dustup between the City of Regina and the surrounding RM of Sherwood that has resulted in the provincial government ordering well-respected former judge Rob Barclay to review the handling of the rural municipality’s Wascana Village development.

At issue is the proposed 736acre, 14,000-resident community southeast of Regina where one big concern is an excessive burden an entire new city will have on Regina and provincial services like water and sewage and highway access.

“I don’t know if those concerns are valid or not,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter told reporters last week while ordering the review. “I think the best way for me to find out is to appoint somebody independent to do an inspection and to report back to me.”

That said, it does seem more than passing strange that Reiter would evoke a little used section of the Municipal Act to appoint an ex-judge at $350 an hour to examine what he described as “a number of technical issues.”

That sounds more like an inquiry rather than Reiter’s description of an “inspection.”

Reiter acknowledged that Sherwood RM Reeve Kevin

Eberle’s ownership of some of this land to be developed is one of the reasons, albeit not the sole reason, for this inspection.

Eberle did recuse himself from discussions and votes on Wascana Village, but such potential conflicts in the small municipal government will likely be a big part of what Barclay will need to clear up.

According to Barclay’s mandate, he is to look into the “the full history, background, process, facts and circumstances which led to the approval” of the development and to explore “the appropriateness of the directions, actions or inactions of any employee or agent of the municipality or member of council”.

This is not the first time the RM of Sherwood has run afoul with the province. You may recall back in 2007 that the then NDP government took control of the rural municipality after half the council resigned.

Former legislative law clerk Merilee Rasmussen was appointed to act as both reeve and council for Sherwood until by-elections were held. At issue was voter eligibility after the Court of Queen’s Bench declared the previous fall’s reeve election to be invalid because the winning margin was just two votes. Certain residents had been excluded from the vote.

Meanwhile, the RM of Corman Park neighbouring Saskatoon has had its share of issues, including a 36-per-cent tax and a major spending audit and major questions about how it was being run.

So acrimonious was the infighting that there was even a push to see the RM split in two.

But lest anyone think the problems are confined to the local politics of the larger RMs bordering the cities, consider the government’s need last

year to set an interim mill rate to “support the equitable distribution of property taxes set by municipalities among property classes.”

The new formula decreed that the maximum ratio of highest to lowest mill rate factors that a municipality could levy would be no more than 15 to one.

So what spurred this need?

Well, two years earlier the Rural Municipality of Eye Hill near the Alberta border had collected a paltry $1,600 from property taxes on agriculture land. However, its commercial mill rate to agricultural land ratio was 53.95, accounting for $1,844,584 of the $1,852,019 in property taxes it collected.

The major industry? A pipeline that couldn’t exactly relocate elsewhere.

One wonders if such conflicts in RMs will just keep increasing in this growing and booming province.

Inter-municipal partnerships will help move the province forward The benefit of gathering regional community members together for the purpose of promoting growth, cooperation and community development makes a lot of sense if

tant issues to the table and plan for the future, which is strange when you consider how regional planning partnerships are a new phenomena in Saskatchewan.

The regional partnership concept makes sense in a province with numerous towns, cities, hamlets, and villages, all having their own separate bylaws, services.

It is a no brainer. Prosperity with this type of partnership can only happen if all involved municipalities are guided by one set of rules which they all agree on.

With a province currently experiencing a growing population the regional partnership concept serves as a call to action for communities

who need to update their official community plan or zoning bylaws. Now is the time to get started.

I first learned about the concept of Saskatchewan regional planning partnerships when I took an editor job with a newspaper in Tisdale in March 2013.

At that time the Twin Lakes District Planning Association, which became a commission last October, was looking for a way to deal with issues surrounding land use, which mainly concerned cross-boarder development and the long application process developers in the past had to deal with trying to set up in Northeast Saskatchewan.

Saskatoon’s P4G partnership with the RM of Corman Park, Osler, Martensville and Warman will be the tenth inter-municipal partnership and it is a timely venture with the cities of Warman and Martensville growing in leaps and bounds.

It is important to note that the seed for all ten partnerships was conceived from the outcome of the Clearing the Path Initiative and a partnership between SARM, SUMA, New North and Government Relations according to the Municipal Capacity Development Program (MCDP) web-

site.

The purpose of Clearing the Path Initiative was to identity and remove the impediments to economic development. One of its initiatives developed by SARM in 2014 was the Clearing the Path Corridor Program, which later became SARM’s Municipal Roads for the Economy Program. The other initiative was the MCDP. According to administrative and elected officials Saskatoon North’s P4G Partnership is still in its early stages and things are looking positive. It is a good thing because the only way Saskatchewan’s towns, cities and hamlets will move forward is to work together.

Martensville okays licenses for two cab companies

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Marensville City Council is hoping there’s enough business in the city to keep two cab companies busy.

Council agreed at its last council meeting on Tuesday, June 17 to allocate one taxi license to Martensville Taxi, owned by Hasaan Bhutta, for the remainder of the calendar year.

The company has been operating in Martensvlle since the summer of 2011, but failed to apply for a renewal of its annual license when it was due earlier this year.

The company applied for three licenses, which would allow it to operate three vehicles.

But because it normally has one vehicle in operation at any

given time, council opted to issue a single license only.

The motion to issue the license originally came up at council’s June 3 meeting, but it was tabled. The owners of the cab company appeared before council at the June 17 meeting to explain why their renewal application was late, and to lay out their operating plans for the remainder of the year.

Increasing competition in the marketplace, and the ongoing presence of Saskatoon-based taxi cabs picking up and dropping off fares in Martensville has also pushed council to take a closer look at the issue.

QUICK CITY CABS

Earlier this year, Martensville council issued two taxi licenses to a new cab company,

Quick City Cabs, owned by Raj Singh. Singh recently relocated from a small southern Saskatchewan city with the intention of establishing a taxi cab operation in Martensville.

Council approved the two taxi licenses at its regular meeting on February 18.

Martensville Economic Devleopment Officer Dillon Shewchuk said with a total of three licenses shared between the two cab companies, that should be sufficient to meet current consumer demand.

SASKATOON COMPANIES

A request for up to six licenses by a third taxi company, Royal City Cab Ltd. of Saskatoon, was discussed by council at its June 10 Committee of the Whole meeting.

The consensus among counciors at that meeting was that there was not enough demand to merit issuing any more licenses for the calendar year.

Concern was also raised that because the City of Saskatoon has so many restrictions on cab licenses, there is a temptation for some operators to find ways to circumvent the rules.

Shewchuk confirmed that a few years ago, there were a number of inquiries from Saskatoonbased cab operators looking to use Martensville as a base for picking up and dropping off Saskatoon fares, which is a violation of a Saskatoon bylaw.

Martensville’s Taxi bylaw also prohibits Saskatoon cabs from picking up and dropping off fares in Martensville, but enforcement is a challenge.

Saskatchewan adds another 5,000 people in first quarter thanks to interprovincial migration Saskatchewan’s population continues to grow, increasing by just more than 5,000 people in the first quarter of 2014, according to new figures released June 18 by Statistics Canada.

There were 1,122,588 people living in Saskatchewan as of April 1, 2014 – an increase of 5,085 people since January 1, 2014, and an increase of 21,180 people in the past year. Saskatchewan’s quarterly and an-

nual growth rates are both second-highest among the provinces, behind only Alberta.

Economy Minister Bill Boyd said the steady growth is a sign of a strong and diversified economy.

“Saskatchewan is now starting its eighth consecutive year of strong population growth, a far cry from the years when we were actually losing people,” Boyd said. “There are more

jobs and opportunities in Saskatchewan than ever before and that’s why today, more people than ever before call Sas-

katchewan home.”

Saskatchewan’s growth in the first quarter of 2014 consisted of a natural increase (births

minus deaths) of 1,211, net international migration of 3,080 and net interprovincial migration of 794.

Saskatchewan’s net interprovincial migration rate was also the second highest among the provinces, behind Alberta.

Warman Childcare Centre allocated licensed spaces

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Plans for construction of a building to house the Warman Childcare Centre (WCC) are moving into high gear following an announcement last week that the centre will be allocated 42 licensed childcare spaces.

“It’s very good news, absolutely,” said WCC Prsident Brenda Black in an interview on Friday, June 20. “Now that we have approval for the spaces, we can begin moving forward with developing plans for the building, finalize our financing, and determine the location of the building in Warman.”

The provincial government announced June 17 that 500 new licensed childcare spaces would be allocated in eleven communities across the province. Warman received 42 new licensed spaces as part of that announcement.

Black said the Warman Childcare Centre board learned of the government’s decision a couple of months ago, but weren’t able to comment until the official announcement was made.

She said getting approval for the licensed childcare spaces has made a big difference in the group’s year-long campaign for the project.

“Getting approval comes with start-up funding,” said Black. “We have close to $180,000 in start-up grants, so that helps us move forward.

As a non-profit, we need to put ten per cent down to obtain the necessary financing.”

Black said the group has been holding discussions with the City of Warman to determine a suitable location for the proposed childcare centre.

“We have been working on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the city in regards to a location and other aspects of the centre,” she said. “We proposed an idea, and it went to the city’s planning and development committee.

If there are revisions needed, they will have to be included.

Once it is approved at the committee level, the MOU will then go to city council for final approval.”

Black said the MOU is needed because the childcare centre wil be classified as “commercial” even though it will be

operated by a non-profit group.

She said the group now has to employ an architectural firm to draw up plans. It also needs to put in place a proposed budget.

Depending on the final plans, the building could cost up to $1 million, she said.

Black said she’s hopeful that once Warman City Council approves the MOU, the process will move quickly, but she said realistically, the centre is not likely to be ready until the fall of 2015.

“If all the stars align, it could potentially open by the summer of 2015,” she said. “But that’s banking on having the concrete done and the building envelope up by the time the snow flies later this year. So that’s a really tight timeline. Realistically, if we’re not putting the concrete in until next May or June, then the fall of 2015 is a more likely opening date.”

Black said demand for childcare spaces - both licensed and unlicensed - in Warman, Martensville and other centres is very high. The advantage of being allocated licensed childcare spaces is that the spaces come with a start-up grant, and parents whose children are in the licensed spaces may qualify for a subsidy from the province, depending on their individual family circumstances, she added.

“The indivdual subsidy would go to the family, not the childcare centre,” she noted.

Black said if additional spaces are needed once the new building is up and running, the group will look at the situation at that time.

“Right now we’re not worried about applying for additional spaces,” she said. “There are two new schools that will be built down the road at some point, and they could have childcare centres in the middle.”

Other commuities that were allocated licensed childcare spaces include Christopher Lake, Regina, Prince Albert, Lumsden, Sandy Bay, Sakatoon, St. Isodore-de-Bellevue, Swift Current, Wakaw and White City.

Provincial Education Minister Don Morgan said the new spaces will alleviate some of the pressures in growing communities and allow parents to return to work or school after starting a family.

There is still a “crying need” for more licensed childcare spaces in Warman, Martensville and other communities in the region, according to Rev. Randy Heide, pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warman.

Even though the provincial government recently approved a total of 42 spaces for the new Warman Childcare Centre (WCC), and had previously allocated 50 licensed spaces for the Lutheran Early Learning and Childcare Centre, that won’t begin to meet the demand in Warman, said Heide in an in-

cost of roughly $1.2 million, is designed to accommodate future growth and represents “excting times in our city,” said Muench, adding many new families and businesses are moving into the municipality.

Councilor Bob Blackwell served as Master of Ceremo-

nies. Blackwell was a member of council’s City Hall Construction Committee along with Muench, Councillor Terry Kostyna, City Manager Scott Blevins and former councillor Kurtis Dyck. Martensville MLA Nancy Heppner also spoke at the event.

terview on Monday, June 23.

“There is more than enough demand for 95 licensed childcare spaces in Warman alone,” said Heide. “According to the last census in 2011, there were over 400 children in that age group that needed childcare.

And in the three years since that census was taken, look how much the community has grown.”

The situation is Martensville is even more critical, said Heide. “In Martensville, the Lutheran Early Learning Centre has a total of 27 licensed childcare spaces in the former Peace Lutheran Felllowship church.”

The church closed in 2004 and the childcare centre

opened in 2005.

“That’s all the licensed spaces there are in that entire city,” said Heide. “There are many unlicensed childcare centres, and they provide good care as well. But obviously, there is a huge need for more licensed childcare spaces in Martensville.”

Heide said there are over 100 people on the Lutheran Early Learning Centre’s waiting list in Martensville. He said last year the Lutheran Early Learning Centre had intended to expand in Martensville after it was allocated 50 spaces by the province. But that would have required a new building, and a proposed partnership with the

Martensville Seniors Housing Committee did not come to fruition when the seniors’ housing committee opted to pursue another alternative.

The focus shifted to Warman, and a proposal was made to build a new childcare centre on the property owned by the Lutheran Church on South Railway Avenue. The centre is slated to open this fall.

“We couldn’t provide the childcare spaces in Martensville,” said Heide. “So that’s why we’re building here in Warman. At this point we’re not sure what will happen in Martensville, but we’re hopeful that a building can be built and more spaces can be allocated.”

End of an era for church building marks start of new one for childcare centre

The demolition of the old section of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warman on Monday, June 23 marked the end of an era for the congregation.

But it also signaled the beginning of a new phase in the church’s history, as construction is now underway on the St. John’s Early Learning Centre, a new $1.5 million facility that will be joined to the church sanctuary.

“It’s a day of mixed emotions, for sure,” said Marg Dyck as she and her sister, Elizabeth Biliske, watched the demolition crew make short work of the building that took almost a year to build in 1979-80.

Dyck’s husband, the late Henry Dyck, served as foreman for the church construction.

Marg Dyck and Elizabeth Biliske watch the demolition process “Henry passed away 25 years ago this Christmas,” said Dyck. “This church has been a big part of our family for many, many years. We didn’t have a decent church until we built this one. There were ten families that got together and said we have to do something, so we built the church after buying

the property for $8,200. Then we got a contractor from town here and worked on it till it was ready.

The City of Warman welcomes Jennifer Doucette who has joined our fantastic team of city employees.

Jennifer, her husband Kevin and children, Joshua, Louise and Meghan moved to Warman, from Squamish, BC in August of 2009. Jennifer shared that ‘of all the places I have lived in Canada, Warman , Saskatchewan reminds me most of my home in South Africa – flat grasslands with very friendly people.’

Well it’s summer again...or at least the calendar says it is. At this time of year many residents like to have their windows open during the evening and are awaken during the night by train whistles.

The question has been asked this year like it was last year, why hasn’t City of Warman Council

done something about this? As a council and in committee (transportation committee), we have explored what our options are. We contacted CN and Transport Canada to determine what our options are regarding train whistles in Warman, especially at night. Through this information gathering we found out we have essentially 2 options.

The first option is to pass a bylaw banning the engineers from blowing the whistles within the City of Warman boundaries. There are a couple of problems with this. The first is that the City of Warman would become liable for any accident that occurs at one of the crossings within our borders.

This is potential liability of millions of dollars, not something Council was willing to undertake. The other problem is that the whistles would still be blown outside the boundaries of the city.

The second option we had was to install the signal lights with control arms at every crossing inside the city. Each control arm costs around $250,000, and we have 4 crossings so the total cost would be approximately $1,000,000. In addition, the City of Warman would also be responsible for the maintenance of each of these crossing controls.

This means there not only would be significant initial cost but an ongoing cost as well. In addition, there are crossings just outside of the city that the whistles would still be blown at (just as with the bylaw option). Council felt that this option was too

In the end, unless property owners in Warman were willing to see a significant rise in their taxes, we just felt that our hands were tied in being able to adequately deal with the whistle problem. It should also be noted that during our correspondence with both CN and Transport Canada, that if they were to investigate, it would probably be determined that most engineers are not blowing the whistle enough going through Warman and that the ones who are blowing the whistle almost constant through the City of Warman are probably the ones doing it right according to the rules set out by Transport Canada.

Rest assured though Council will keep on top of the issue and if a feasible solution is available, we will take action.

As always do not hesitate to call your Mayor or Council if you have questions, suggestions or just want to chat. We always welcome conversation with the residents of this great city.

Daddy-daughter sweetheart gala in Langham raises funds for Freedom Climb Area women prepare to tackle seven summits in the scenic Colorado Rockies

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

Little girls looking like princesses made a pretty picture at the Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Gala in Langham recently.

They came in their beautiful dresses with their dashing dads all suited up, to a fun evening at the Langham Bible Church in support of the Freedom Climb.

But all is not sweetness and light in the world. The dark operations of human traffickers snatch new victims every day modern day slavery with little to stand in its way. The Wasie Foundation Freedom Climb is a voice for victims caught in this destructive web who essentially have no voice of their own. The organization seeks to raise awareness and funding for projects all over the planet designed to bring hope to those trapped in the bondage of oppression.

Sheri Kroeker and Damaris Rempel planned the Daddy Daughter Princess Gala, to draw attention to the vast chasm between protecting the beauty and innocence of children and exploiting it. The duo, along with six other climbers

have spent the past months doing fundraising for the Freedom Climb and preparing to hike seven summits in Colorado.

Although this was the final fundraiser before the climb July 12-18, Kroeker said the gala wasn’t so much about raising the funds. A number of the climbers have raised more than double the $3,000 minimum.

“It was about the relationship between the dads and the daughters and fostering that bond, building into the girls and developing their self-worth and their self-esteem,” she said.

“We wanted them to feel beautiful in the eyes of their dad but also in the eyes of God, and so we just thought this is the best event to do that.”

Tiaras were everywhere, a symbol of the intrinsic value of each daughter.

If a daughter’s relationship with her dad is secure and healthy, she’ll be less vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. “When girls have that self-worth and have that value, when they understand that, they are less susceptible to ever being used. And that relates to why we’re doing this – we want to reduce the vulnerability of women and children to ever being used and abused,” said Kroeker. In that sense, the gala also served as a preventative measure.

In keeping with the princess theme, likenesses of Anna and Elsa, princesses from the hit movie “Frozen,” were stars, on

loan from Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo and recreating the Frozen frenzy by playing games with the girls and stopping for photo ops. Their appearance was donated by Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo. Even though it was a wet afternoon, most took advantage of the horse and carriage rides, with umbrellas overhead. A professional photo booth, as well as a fun one with props, captured memories of the evening. There was a treasure hunt, a chance to decorate your own picture frame, cake, candy and ice cream, door prizes, and a fairy tale story time for the girls, while their dads got some encouragement from speaker Boyd Hopkins of Spoken Word Ministries.

Getting fit to climb seven summits in Colorado isn’t that easy in the relative flat lands of Saskatchewan. “We’re training, we’re hiking we’re running, whenever we have a chance we’re getting out there,” said Kroeker, who seems amused about setting her treadmill at the highest incline.

Each of the seven summits in Colorado is over 14,000 feet. The tallest elevation in Saskatchewan is in Cypress Hills at 4567 feet– a third of the height the climbers will conquer for the Freedom Climb and not really accessible. Kroeker was happy to have done some training in Banff.

Human trafficking is a growing concern and, it seems, more prevalent than ever, perhaps because of the ease of network-

ing on the internet.

Recent reports indicate that while Canada has made some progress in addressing human trafficking, there’s still more to be done. The annual US State Department report on human trafficking in various countries released June 19 said “Canada is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to sex trafficking and a destination country for men and women subjected to forced labor.”

Women and girls from Aboriginal communities as well as minors in the child welfare system are especially vulnerable, the report said. In May, the city of Toronto’s first human trafficking conviction was handed down.

In the US, the Super Bowl is the largest human trafficking incident in the country. Human trafficking is also prevalent at the Olympics. Kroeker, Rempel and the other climbers have added their voices to support the eradication of all such activities.

“It’s been amazing to see the number of ways that the dollars have come in and from people you don’t know. It’s a humbling experience to have people saying ‘that’s really cool, how can I give to that, I want to be a part of that’,” said Rempel.

The climbers will have a send-off barbecue on July 6 at the Sam Wendland Park in Waldheim. The send-off is from 11:30 – 1:30 and is open to the public.

bound by loss and a solitary life.

The laughs begin with the arrival of widower Sam, and the familiar patterns woven into the lives of the three widows are disrupted. Suddenly, the bond that unites these women changes, and we wonder if their bond will survive.

Artistic Director Vickie Dyck says the appeal of the play is the relationships. “It’s the friendships. No matter what community you’re in, this story is relevant to that, to friendships, no matter what age you’re at, and going through difficult things together, and being able to laugh together.

And then of course because of that you’re also able to cry together.”

The cast is smaller for this play so each character is on

stage most of the time, and spends less time waiting in the wings. Some cast members have been involved since the beginning and some have been involved only a year or two.

The three widows are in various stages of recovering from grief and loss. Each begins to consider what it might mean to enter a new relationship. Bev Martin plays Ida, who is most prepared to venture into the uncharted territory of dating.

Ida is hopeful and genuinely joyful and might just open her heart.

Terri Paterson is Lucille, who is certain of her considerable charms and believes no man can take his eyes off of her. She’s big into fashion and flirtation. When Sam shows up at the cemetery, she asks, “Do you come here often?” and fol-

lows up with, “just a little cemetery humour!”

Doris is played by Sharon Loeppky who is mainly indifferent to Sam, and prefers to maintain The Cemetery Club and cling to her devotion to her four-years-dead husband. Doris’ retort to Lucille is, “If you want to pick up a man pick somebody else’s grave!”

Newcomer Cari Davies Fletcher plays Mildred, who arrives late on the scene on the arm of Sam. “For Cary it’s her first year, so we always try and mix that up so that there’s a good variation,” said Dyck.

Cemetery Club’s quirky humour deals with love, friendship, loss and relationships

The antics of three widows turn hilarious when their lives are intersected by a widower who enters the scene. These women are The Cemetery Club, a play by Ivan Menchell currently showing at the Barn Playhouse.

The Cemetery Club kicks off the 24th season at the theatre in the red barn, set in the peaceful, bucolic countryside, 25 kilometres north of Saskatoon. Sisters Colleen, Vickie and Jane are the creative minds behind the longstanding success of the Barn Playhouse.

The three widows, Ida, Lucille and Doris visit their husband’s graves once a month.

They meet first for a sip of tea and a chat – friends who are

fers a different way of thinking about cemeteries. “I actually love cemeteries, there’s so much wonderful history in cemeteries and they’re always very peaceful places. I think it shows that there’s nothing to be afraid of, that its part of our lives and our history,” says Dyck.

The Cemetery Club sold out before opening night, so the Barn Playhouse has added an additional showing at 7:30 on June 30 for anyone who would still like the opportunity to get tickets. The yard is open before the show and offers food booths, live music, horse drawn wagon rides and the craft barn.

en Girls?). The play captures the awkwardness of trying to re-enter the dating world as an older person.

The scenes are set in Ida’s home and the cemetery. In one scene, costuming gets a big thumbs up when the three widow friends are looking spectacular all decked out in glitzy matching bridesmaid dresses for their friend’s umpteenth wedding.

The headstones at the cemetery marked new “prop” territory for the Barn Playhouse.

“We created some products that are new to us. That’s always a fun thing to try and work with. The headstones were a test,” said Dyck. They’re wood, she says, but they look like stone.

The play is the furthest thing from morbid, and perhaps of-

In a Japanese study presented in May at an American Heart Association meeting, researchers explained that people who took part in bimonthly group sessions built around music or laughter lowered their systolic

blood pressure (the top number in the reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) by an average of five to six points after three months. In contrast, the average blood-pressure reading in a control group that received neither therapy didn’t move. According to experts,

this decline in pressure is the equivalent of what someone could expect from adopting a low-salt diet or losing 10 pounds. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy blood pressure should be less than 120 for systolic and less than 80 for diastolic.

Signs of a healthy garden and soil Upon first glance, a garden may appear to be the picture of health. However, further examination may reveal that the garden isn’t all that it seems, and perhaps that healthy facade is artificially manufactured.

Chemical fertilizers and an abundance of water may temporarily boost the appearance of a garden, but gardens need more than a quick fix to maintain long-term health. The following are a handful of indicators that a garden has established itself and is likely to maintain its health for years to come.

Earthworms

The presence of earthworms in the garden and surrounding soil indicates a healthy garden. Earthworms are essential to healthy plants because they aerate the soil by channeling through it. These channels enable rain to soak into the soil

and air to reach roots. Earthworms, through their castings, also add important nutrients to soil. Dig a few inches into the garden. If you find an abundance of earthworms, it is a good indication that all is well.

Water infiltration

Take a glass of water and pour it onto the soil of the garden.

If it takes five seconds or less for the soil to absorb the water, then that soil is probably doing well. However, soil that can’t soak up that water may be having problems, or there may be problems on the horizon.

Those problems will likely manifest themselves when the temperatures begin to rise.

Colour

A plant leaf can tell a lot about the health of a plant. Shriveled or pale leaves could be indicative of a problem. If the plant looks sickly, soil might need

to be modified or the problem may lie inside of the plant itself. Take a clipping of a poorly growing plant and place it in a glass of water. If the water becomes cloudy or milky, there may be a bacterial problem. If the water remains clear, the plant may have a virus. The presence of fuzz or hairs growing on leaves could indicate the presence of a fungus.

Plant residue

The presence of stubble or leftover plant particles from previous plantings helps the soil retain moisture and suppress weeds. This material also can prevent erosion. It’s good to have some residual plant matter in your soil. If the soil is too “clean,” it may not be as healthy as you think.

Flowers

Certainly there are low-maintenance plants that do not pro-

duce flowers, but relying only on these plants in your garden can prove troublesome over the long haul. Bees, birds and butterflies are attracted to sweet, flowering plants. These animals and insects are essential to pollination, and without them the garden cannot procreate. A thriving garden is one

What to look for in an elderly care facility As men and women enter their golden years, many decide they can no longer maintain their homes and choose to downgrade to something smaller, be it an apartment or a condominium. For millions of others, health plays a significant role when deciding where to move when it’s time to sell their homes.

According to the AARP, slightly more than five percent of people 65 years and older reside in nursing homes, congregate care, assisted living, and board-and-care homes.

Statistics Canada notes that by 2004-05, the most recent year for which statistics are available, one in 30 Canadians over the age of 65 were living in homes for the aged. Though no one plans to live in a nursing home, seniors and their families should at least know what to look for just in case.

Determine Individual Needs Men and women researching

potential living facilities might find it difficult to determine their specific needs. Unforeseen health conditions, for instance, might dictate which option is the best fit. Men and women who have a medical condition that requires routine monitoring will almost certainly want a skilled nursing facility. But those without medical conditions who need help with simpler tasks of everyday life are likely to have those needs met by an intermediate facility. Some facilities provide both types of care, which can make transitioning from one to another much easier if or when that need arises.

Facilities typically have intake planners on staff who evaluate each individual and determine which level of care is the best fit.

Research Policies and Procedures Each facility should be ready and willing to share and discuss its policies and proce-

A HEALTHY GLOW

While a tan can make a person appear healthy, over time sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, pigmentation, dilation of small blood vessels and cancerous tumors. For those who want to look tan you can rely on various artificial means to achieve a sun-kissed glow.

Bronzers: Bronzing powders are cosmetics that are brushed on the skin and typically applied to the areas of the body that would be touched by the sun. Bronzers are common-

ly used to contour the skin to de-emphasize certain features or play up others. A bronzer will wash off with soap and water or a cosmetic removal cleanser.

Sunless tanner: Sunless tanners come in sprays, lotions and even moisturizers. Sunless tanners have been around in some form since the 1960s, and they work by employing DHA, a colorless sugar carbohydrate that interacts with dead skin cells of the epidermis. The sugar causes a chem-

dures with regards to residents.

What is the procedure when a resident has a medical emergency? What if a resident finds a living situation unpleasant?

What is the facility’s philosophy regarding staff and resident interaction? What are the facility’s hiring practices, including certification requirements, for its personnel? What is the ratio of staff to residents? Each facility should be able to answer these questions promptly and adequately. Those who can’t should be checked off the list of residences to consider.

Get a Firsthand Account of the Facility Before choosing a facility for themselves or an elderly relative, individuals should spend some time at the facilities they’re considering to get a firsthand account of what life at that facility is like. Observe the staff interactions with residents, including if they address residents with respect and pa-

ical reaction that results in a color change. Results may take a few applications and can last up to a week.

Spray tanning: Many spas and salons offer spray-tanning services. A safe dye is sprayed on to the skin to temporarily change its color. Spray tans should be applied by a qualified and experienced person to avoid streaking or a hue that seems unnatural. Once set, the pigment should not easily wipe off the skin.

tience. How do the current residents look? Are they unkempt and left to their own devices, or do they appear well groomed and are they encouraged to interact with other residents? Does the facility seem warm and welcoming, or is it antiseptic? The move to an elderly care facility is often difficult and sometimes depressing, so each of the above conditions can carry significant weight when choosing a facility.

Finding a nursing home or a similar facility for yourself or an aging relative is not necessarily easy. Men and women facing such a difficult decision should begin the process as early as possible to ensure they find the facility that is the best fit.

that has a mix of plants, including some flowering varieties that will keep birds, butterflies and bees coming back again and again.

Minimal weeds

If the only thing you’re growing is weeds, then there is a problem in the garden. Weeds tend

to be more tolerant of poor soil conditions and can quickly take over. Planting ground cover and using mulch is a natural way to keep weeds at bay. You may need to do some manual work on your hands and knees and pull out weeds as well. The fewer the weeds, the more likely your plants will grow tall and full.

time for a check-up!

A physiotherapist is known for being a rehabilitation specialist. When someone is injured or in pain, a physiotherapist can help. Recently there has been an interest towards more proactive care. Why not access physiotherapy before an injury occurs? Think of it like you would a dental check-up, an eye exam, a physical from the doctor, or even vehicle maintenance. You meet with these professionals regularly in order to catch potential problems before they become too hard to manage. The concept of seeking physiotherapy before an injury is termed “Prehabilitation”. Perhaps you are interested in trying a new activity, or starting a new job. Maybe you have never been to a physiotherapist, and you would like to know from a professional how your body is moving. A physiotherapist would be able to assess your posture, alignment, range of motion, and strength, in all major joints, in one session. They could then explain where you might be at risk of injury, and teach you how to prevent a problem. Be proactive, and see a physiotherapist today!

The Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) is helping end global hunger with every swing of the auctioneer’s hammer.

The CFGB held its 34th Annual Charity Auction on the Walter Wiebe farm south of Hague on Saturday, June 21.

Auction participants had their appetites whetted with a pancake and sausage breakfast, followed by an auction of a wide variety of donated items from household articles to a special livestock sale.

All proceeds from the sale go to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to help battle hunger worldwide.

Dave Meier, the Saskatchewan Coordinator for the food grains bank, explained that the organization is made up of 15 church agencies representing 32 denominations. By bringing the organizations together has allowed them to carry out ministry to those in need.

“Member agencies have people on the ground in the various countries,” explained Meier. “Everything is driven from the country where the programs are. People on the

ground see the need and send in a proposal.

“A lot of times a group will start a project and ask who will come and work with us,” he continued. “The partner on the ground because of other commitments elsewhere can look after the distribution while other members provide the funds.

Everyone is working together for the greater good of humanity.”

Money raised at the auction is matched by a factor of four by the federal government.

“The federal government puts in 25 million a year to our program,” said Meier. “An example is right now we are doing a food program for the people of Syria, feeding 90 000 people a day. If you have one million dollars to our member agency, the member has to come up with $200,000 and the government will put in $800,000.”

Food aid has been untied so we can buy food close to where it is need which saves us a lot on shipping and handling. This means we can feed a lot more people.”

While the Foodgrains Bank provides food assistance in emergency and chronic hunger areas they also look at providing longer term food securi-

ty by supporting and educating households and communities to produce and source their own food.

Meier talked about how conservation agriculture can take people out of poverty to feed their families.

“One lady said I built four walls on a house and bought a bred cow with the extra grain because someone gave me the education on how to grow crops,” he said.

The day was a great success with the generous donations of items to the auction and all the time volunteers spent organizing and running the event, and the large amount of people that came out to take part.

Riders ready to battle Ticats Riiiiiiiiiiing!

That’s your wake-up call Rider Nation. It’s time to rise and shine from your off-season slumber and get ready to kickoff the 2014 Canadian Football League season this Sunday at Mosaic Stadium when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats come to town (5:00 kickoff on TSN and the CKRM Rider Radio Network).

The paltry crowds of 13,014 and 15,353 for the Riders’ two preseason games at Mosaic Stadium are evidence enough that Rider fans have hit the snooze button a couple of times as they sleep off the Grey Cup hangover.

Ready or not, the new season is upon us and Canada’s Team is set to defend its Canadian football title and repeat for the first time in franchise history.

The lack of hype may have something to do with the fact training camp was held in Saskatoon but it’s clear people have been slow to climb aboard the bandwagon.

That’s fine, but the Riders have been hard at work constructing this roster for a brand new season. Perhaps the players themselves need-

ed a wake-up call during camp, prompting head coach Corey Chamblin to call them an “average football team” five days into camp. However they’re wide awake now.

“Definitely,” Chamblin said before Friday’s 19-14 preseason loss to Edmonton in Regina.

“The guys responded and I can see daily that they’re responding to that. They don’t want to be an average football team.

They want to be above average.”

It remains to be seen if that will be the case as they face a stiff test in Week 1 from Kent Austin’s Ticats who still have a bitter taste in their mouth after being trounced 45-23 by Saskatchewan in last year’s Grey Cup game at Mosaic Stadium.

And the Roughriders will have to prove themselves all over again as the B.C. Lions have been tabbed as the favourites by Bodog.ca to win this year’s Grey Cup while the Cal-

gary Stampeders are the #1 team in CFL. ca’s first edition of their Power Rankings.

“We didn’t win the West Division last year!” Chamblin exclaimed. “We won the Grey Cup. As far as that goes, those are predictions and I don’t think anybody has that great of psychic ability. There’s too much that has to happen.

Whether we’re favoured or not, that doesn’t bother me. We still have to play the games.”

Just like last year the Riders were 1-1 in the preseason and training camp wrapped up with 26 players being released on Saturday’s CFL roster deadline. The most notable of those were veteran Canadian receivers Jordan Sisco and Jade Etienne.

The Rider roster features a load of fresh faces including first-year receivers Chaz Schilens, Brett Swain and Ryan Smith. They’re vying to replace departed stars Weston Dressler and Geroy Simon at the inside slot positions. AllStar tailback Kory Sheets is gone too and Chamblin said in the early going, that position will be filled “by committee”.

First-year ball-carriers Keith Toston and Anthony Allen will attempt to fill those shoes although they both coughed up fumbles in preseason games which raised a few red flags.

The starting offensive line and quarterback are intact from last year as is the starting secondary while the linebacking core includes youngsters Chad Kilgore and Brian Peters (both of whom come with NFL backgrounds). It appears former Colt and Cardinal Marshay Green will be the primary returner after an electrifying 75-yard punt return touchdown in exhibition play.

The Riders’ ace in the hole is their coaching staff which boasts quality coordinators in George Cortez (offense), Richie Hall (defense) and Bobby Dyce (special teams) along with Chamblin, the reigning CFL Coach of the Year. CKRM football analyst Luc Mullinder, a former nine-year CFL veteran, predicts that staff will account for “nine wins” right out of the gate.

The Green & White were the champions of both July and November last year. However for now they’ll be happy just to be the champions of Week 1

On the Defensive The entire human digestive system is designed to fight infection. The mouth serves as a physical blockage against germs, and immunoglobulin A (antibody) is secreted into oral mucous. Many friendly bugs, like those of the LACTOBACILLUS family, thrive in the stomach, where a powerful acid fights off unwanted bacteria. The intestines harbor 70% of our immune system.

Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) form a roadway, so to speak, along the entire length of the intestines, fending off invaders by storing and secreting immune cells. The inner lumen of the intestines is coated with a biofilm colonized by hundreds of bacterial species that block bacterial villains by competing with them for nutrients and space.

Diseases, illness and antibiotics disrupt this delicate micro-flora environment, allowing the harmful bacteria to populate the intestinal walls. BUT, a healthier gut environment is possible through symbiotics.......the practice of combining prebiotics and probiotics.

Prebiotics: Fuel for your Flora Prebiotics are naturally occurring non-digestible carbohydrates, or soluble fibers, that nourish the growth of specific beneficial bacteria......these are not live organisms. All prebiotics are fiber, but not all fibers are prebiotics. When prebiotics ferment in the intestines, they release a fuel that enables friendly bacteria like LACTOBACILLI and BIFIDOBACTERIA to thrive.

The most common prebiotics are in the inulin-type fructan family. Inulins are long-chain saccharides that are slowly broken down in the intestines. Smaller-chain inulins include oligofructose, fructooligo-saccharides and galactooligosaccharides. All inulins resist digestion in the upper GI tract, so they are intact and fully fermentable by the time they reach the colon. Galactooligosaccharides are found in some legumes, but they are mostly made in the body from lactose. All you need is 5 – 8 grams a day of inulin prebiotics to support growth of all BIFIDOBACTERIA species.

Next time in my Fit Tips column: ‘Sample foods that contain prebiotics...’

Boyle wins Saskatoon Women’s Open Golf Championship at Legends Club

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Lorie Boyle had some trouble on the 18th hole at the Legends Golf Course on both days of the Saskatoon Women’s Open Golf Championship June 23 and 24.

But not enough to bother her.

Boyle emerged as the overall champion and also nailed the Senior Championship at the tournament, which attracts some of the best female golfers in the province.

Boyle shot a 156 (148 net) over 36 holes to capture the lowest overall score of the tournament. Tammy Bezaire was runner up in the Seniors division with an overall gross score of 158 (136 net).

Kathy Ziglo won the Amateur division, while Kim Walker was runner up.

In the Super Seniors division (age 65+), Carol Spanks took the title while Velma Ladubec was second.

Boyle said after taking last summer off from serious competition, she’s happy to be back in the provincial golf tournament circuit. Even though she hasn’t shot a lot of rounds so far this year, that’s a common complaint among all the players.

“It’s been so wet, there’s not a lot of opportunity to get out on the course,” Boyle said in an interview following the tournament. “If you don’t play much you kind of lose your touch around the greens, with all the chipping and putting.”

Boyle said she didn’t decide to come to the tournament until literally the last minute.

“Kathy (Ziglo) phoned me up and said: ‘Can you get a couple days off to play this tournament?’ And I said, ‘I think so.’

So I entered just before the deadline,” said Boyle. “We played in Prince Albert last weekend, and we were hoping to get some more rounds in before the provincials next week in Kenosee.”

The five-time provincial senior women’s champion, who lives in Moose Jaw but plays out of the Harbor Golf Club in Elbow, hadn’t played the Legends course before, but it didn’t take her long to get used to it.

“We did a practice round on Friday evening,” she said. “It was wet, but it was still good to get a look at the course and take some mental notes about how to play the different holes.”

A total of 49 competitors teed off Monday morning at the Legends Golf Course, as the tournament got off to a soggy start following a weekend of heavy showers.

Rosters set for Can-Am Football classic

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The roster has been set for players and coaches taking part in the Can-Am six-man football classic in Hague on Saturday, July 5.

Clay Kirby, principal of Hague High School will be the head coach of the Canadian team, while Bear Chesley of Wilson, Texas has been named head coach of the American team.

The Canadian team is made up primarily of players from Saskatchewan, with two from Alblerta. Most of the American players are from Texas, with two from Colorado, two from Wyoming and one from Montana.

The Can-Am Bowl features the top six-man high school football players in Canada taking on the best players from the United States. The international game has been held annually for the past 18 years, but this is the first time it’s been held in Hague.

The Canadian roster features two hometown players: Luke Guenter and Adam Friesen. There are three Rosthern players in the lineup: Morgan Klinger, Joshua Isaak and Josh Thomas. Other area players include two from Hanley: Kirk Simonsen and Kody Rowlett; Ty Dishko from Hafford and Aaron Evans from Birch Hills.

Two Hague Panthers alumni, brothers Shayne Dueck of Saskatoon and Tyler Dueck of Warman are part of the Canadian team’s coaching staff.

Shayne is Assistant Offensvie Coordinator and Tyler is Assistant Defensive Coordinator.

Kirby said it will be nice to have the Dueck brothers on the sidelines.

“They both played Hilltops and Huskies and their youth will be a plus for our boys to relate to the coaches,” said Kirby.

Ryan Barnstable of Hafford is the Canadian team’s Defensive Coordinator. Kirby said there’s also a history with that family.

“About ten years ago I coached a Senior Bowl with Barnstable’s dad, who is from Rosetown,” said Kirby. “Barn-

stable also played Hilltops and Huskies and lived with Garret Houle, who played for the Panthers when he was in high school Hague. Garret played for the Hilltops and the University of Alberta Golden Bears. So there are very few degrees of separation.”

P4G Partnership growth strategy Alan Wallace, director of planning for the City of Saskatoon, said a growth strategy that is amendable to all partners is the way to go.

“We are looking for all kinds of ideas around more service division in the region close to Saskatoon.

Services that are not available could be looked at but it all starts with a land use plan,” said Wallace. “It is going to be the foundation for the regional plan and is important for all regions and municipalities to have that certainty that growth will occur for various sectors of our economy and it will be situated in places that make sense.”

The P4G is still looking for fund-

ing from the province.

Tittemore said he did receive feedback regarding funding from the province, but nothing has been confirmed. He said there will be a second funding request made in the near future.

Division 3 Councilor David Fox said with this partnership there are going to be risks and compromises for all of the participants and the RM’s best defence is to negotiate hard.

“I like the government’s model, one municipality, one vote is about as fair as we can expect. I am confident in our team and the people that will be at the table,” said Fox.

Inmates pour heart and soul into Garden of Hope Greenhouse provided plants and seeds, and Mini-Tune facilitated the acquisition of a commercial-grade 305 cc rototiller. The Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies construction preparatory program supplied sheds for storage of garden tools.

The Garden of Hope is dedicated to the memory of the late Kathy Bailey, a corrections worker who passed away a couple of years ago. “Kathy was very dedicated to this project and to helping inmates turn their lives around,”’ said Saulnier. “That’s why it’s called the Garden of Hope in her honour.”

Inmates with a farm background have proven to be exceptionally helpful with the garden project, said Saulnier.

“We rely on their expertise, and they tend to really put their heart and soul into this,” he said. “It means a lot to them.”

Tammy Rosteski, a corrections worker and coordinator of the garden project, agrees it’s a worthwhile endeavour.

“It’s something that’s come to really define what this is all about,” she said. “It’s about rehabilitation and finding constructive ways for people to contribute.”

Saulnier said the urban camp provides work crews and services to 125 organizations and agencies in the Saskatoon region. It’s so successful that the dates for work crew placements are 90 per cent booked for 2014, and the crews are already being booked for 2015.

the summer and shovel their walks in the winter,” he said.

“On any given day we have 35 to 38 inmates doing community service work in the region.”

Funds for targeted policing initiatives Corrections and Policing, through the Ministry of Justice, contributed $4.6 million to the City of Regina and $4.8 million to the City of Saskatoon to continue funding for 39 police officers in Regina and 42 in Saskatoon. These officers conduct comprehensive investigations and work on a number of community-based policing initiatives to help reduce crime and victimization.

“This funding allows Regina and Saskatoon to focus on crime suppression and prevention through targeted enforcement and proactive activities,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said. “This ensures that Saskatchewan remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.”

These annual grants, contin-

ue to build on the partnership between government and provincial police leaders by aligning resources to support shared priorities, such as: the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (organized crime), the Internet Child Exploitation Unit, the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime initiative, the Serious Habitual Offender Comprehensive Action Program, Enhanced Investigations, and the recently announced Dedicated Traffic Safety Enforcement Units in central and southeast Saskatchewan. The Saskatoon Police Service and the RCMP will be the first to pilot the Dedicated Traffic Safety Enforcement Units.

“We are pleased with the government’s continued financial commitment to targeted police

initiatives,” Regina Police Service Chief Troy Hagen said.

“This funding enhances our Service’s capacity to focus on areas of significant risk to our community and there is an added benefit to the rest of the province, since the investigations of units like the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and the Internet Child Exploitation Unit extend beyond the boundaries of any single municipality.”

“This funding is vital to the Saskatoon Police Service,” Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill said. “It allows us to address specialized areas of crime and public safety like Internet Child Exploitation and now Regional Traffic Safety Enforcement. These are areas of enforcement that a municipality cannot address on its own.”

Services will continue as usual new church,” continued Dyck.

“She was in her 90s at the time. My son and his wife were married in this church. My youngest daughter was in the first class that was confirmed in this church.”

Don Dyck of Warman, Marg’s son, said he also feels some sadness at the loss of the old part of the church.

“I have a lot of memories here,” he said. “But I know the old part of the church had to go because you have to make room for what’s coming. Plus, it had some structural issues.”

St. John’s Lutheran Church Pastor Rev. Randy Heide said while the destruction of a big piece of the church’s history is a hard thing for people to see, it’s also a sign the church is adapting to the changing needs of the community.

“It’s an exciting day and a sad day all at the same time for this congregation,” said Heide.

“It’s going to be a blessing

for the community, and that’s what we’re here for,” he continued. “This community is in desperaate need of childcare spaces, and this new building will meet that need.”

The new early learning and licensed childcare centre will have a total of 65 spaces. It will accommodate 50 toddler and pre-school licensed childcare spaces in its lower level.

Spaces for 15 school-age children will also be provided for “before and after school” programs.

Heide said church services in the sanctuary portion of the church, which was built about fifteen years ago as an addition to the original church building, will continue as normal.

The construction crews will just have to take Sundays off to accommodate the congregation, he added with a smile.

“If they give up the Lord’s Day, then the Lord will give them the rest of the days,” he

said.

A foot-wide cut from the roof to the basement separating the sanctuary from the older part of the church ensured the demolition process did not damage the sanctuary portion of the building, said Heide.

Jaba Construction owner Dave Anderchek said he’s glad the project is finally underway.

He expects the new building will take about eight months to complete, weather permitting.

“It’s been about a year since I was contacted,” said Anderchek in an interview at the site. “It’s nice to have the demolition started. We’re going to be building the foundation very shortly once the debris from the demolition is cleaned up.”

Anderchek said he expects it will be a couple of months before the walls and roof are up, but he’s confident the projected opening date for the childcare centre this fall will be met.

Corman Park approves ILO application pending Ministry of Agriculture approval

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The odor from Intensive Livestock Operations (ILO) is a never ending complaint for residents in Corman Park.

The smell, which is a result of manure spreading on nearby land or the transfer of manure, was a concern residents Rebecca and Gordon Neufeld raised during a presentation to the RM of Corman Park Council Meeting, June 16.

In May Skywest Farms Ltd made an application to obtain a discretionary use approval for an ILO involving a poultry barn. This ILO will contain from 301 to 600 animal units and the manure from the operation would be dry spread on the 80 acre parcel once a year.

Rebecca Neufeld who was present during the council meeting, opposed the building of a chicken barn across

from her residence because of smell, the possibility of polluted runoff and how it will affect property value for homes in her area.

The Neufelds have been living on their acreage south of Dalmeny for two years. The land around their property is zoned agricultural.

Already the area where Skywest Farms plans to place a barn is close to an existing poultry ILO called Chicks R Us. Neufeld asked council how many ILOs are needed in the area close to her residence.

“We wouldn’t have moved here if we had known that there would be a chicken farm across the road from us,” said Neufeld.

“Chicks R Us own property right next to us and they spread manure every other year, which is not bad because their actual farm is half a mile away.”

Diane Pastoor, co-owner of Chicks R Us said according to the Ministry of Agriculture there is nothing they can do to stop ILOs from operating in close proximity to each other.

Pastoor said she was concerned about bio-security with a new ILO planning to set up nearby.

“If there was any outbreak or disease all of our farms would be on quarantine,” said Pastoor. “The more that is in there the more that is affected, not just the farmers, but the processors that pick up our product and the trucks that need to be traveling in and out of those areas.”

Andy Janzen, who is the manager of one of the Ministry of Agriculture’s work units responsible for the ILO provisions of the Agricultural Operations act, said in an interview with the Gazette that the act does not regulate biosecurity or how close one ILO

is to each other.

“The legislation that we function under pertains to water protection,” said Janzen.

“That is the force that dictates whether we approve or not approve.”

Janzen said bio-security guidelines with ILOs are industry driven.

“The Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan would have a number of mandates including quota, food safety protocols and bio-security protocols which is more of a protection of the industry from market failure if something happens from a disease perspective.”

The only way having too many ILOs in a certain area would become an issue is when it comes to not having enough land to spread manure, said Janzen.

Bryan Pauls of Skywest Farms Ltd was the last person to speak at the delegation and offered clarification on

his proposed operation in the area.

On the issue of bio-security, Pauls said all manure will be covered, exhaust fans will blow air from the barn into the covered area and curtains and mesh will further control the movement of air outside the barn.

“By me having all of the manure in a covered storage I can control it whereas some farmers store manure outside on dirt,” said Pauls. “We will have it covered, closed and controlled because we feel it is the best way to control our investment, protect the food supply and keep our neighbours from being upset with us.”

Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park, said council understood the Neufeld’s concerns, but the only thing the RM of Corman Park can do is to make sure the ILO operation is meeting the RM’s zoning laws and that the setbacks

are always met.

Rebecca Row, Director of Planning with the RM of Corman Park, said Skywest Farms Ltd application does require approval from the Ministry of Agriculture to go forward.

“My assumption is that if they found the concentration was too high in this area that they wouldn’t approve the proposal or they would have to ensure that the applicant has measures in place to address some of that concern,” said Row. Division 3 Councilor David Fox said if Corman Park residents move into a rural area that is zoned for agricultural use the noises and smells that go along with an operation like an ILO are to be expected. Council passed a motion to approve Skywest Farms Ltd proposal based on approval from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Fortune Minerals gets approvals for mine, concentrator in Northwest Territories Fortune Minerals moved another step closer to its proposed Saskatchewan Metals Processing Plant (SMPP) near Langham last week after getting approvals on land and water use for its mine and concentrator in the Northwest Territories (NT).

The Wek’èezhìi Land and Water Board issued the Land Use Permit and approved the Type A Water License required to construct and operate Fortune Minerals’ NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper mine and concentrator on the Company’s mining leases located 160 km

northwest of Yellowknife and 50 km north of the Tlicho community of Whati.

According to Fortune Minerals, these are the primary permits required to develop the NICO project following completion of the company’s environmental assessment (EA) for the project in 2013.

The company can now commence construction of the mine upon receipt of project financing and after making the initial closure bond payments to the NT government.

Fortune is working with Deloitte Corporate Finance Can-

ada Inc. to secure project financing and negotiations are advancing with a strategic partner and its banks.

On June 18, Fortune was issued the Land Use Permit; and the Type A Water License was recommended to the Honourable J. Michael Miltenberger, Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, for final approval and signature under the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act. Dr. Richard Schryer, Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs for Fortune said that Fortune can now com-

mence construction of NICO. “The company is continuing to work collaboratively with the Tlicho people, local communities and governments to make this a successful project that contributes positively to the economy and social fabric of the Northwest Territories,” said Schryer. “We are particularly proud that NICO will be a catalyst for important legacy infrastructure development, including the proposed Tlicho Road and an expanded electrical grid that will also service nearby communities.”

Robin Goad, President and

Chief Executive Officer of Fortune said the company is now waiting to finalize its financing for the mine and concentrator.

“This positions the Company for organic growth after entering into an agreement to purchase the Revenue Silver Mine in Colorado,” said Goad. “It is very gratifying to see NICO advance from an in-house exploration success to become a shovel-ready development asset after the expenditure of more than $110 million over many years to validate the project and reduce risks from its development.”

The NICO Project consists of a proposed open pit and underground mine and mill in the NT that will produce a bulk concentrate for shipment to the planned SMPP for further processing to high value metal and chemical products.

The SMPP will produce cobalt sulphate heptahydrate, a chemical needed to manufacture lithium ion and nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries that are experiencing significant demand growth in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles.

Coordinator will benefit Valley West Community Justice Committee Submitted by

JUDITH MORRIS

Chair, Valley West CJC

Valley West Community Justice committee held its annual meeting on June 12, 2014 at the Warman City Office. Once again we were able to conclude a successful year of facilitating Victim/Offender Mediation.

We had a slower year than in the past with only nine youth files, of which seven were successful, one unsuccessful and one transferred to another agency.

We had six adult files of which four were successful, one was sent back to court and one we were unable to contact.

Saskatchewan Justice indicated the numbers for Alternative Measures files are down everywhere, not to say that crime is down but that referrals to alternative measures are down.

It does, however, appear that these numbers will increase again and we’re hoping here at Valley West to be able to mediate some of those files.

FILE COORDINATOR ROLE

A collective effort from the Ministry of Justice and the agencies in Saskatoon and area have created a file coordinator position at the courthouse to assist in the distribution of files for the various agencies.. This has already proven to be a successful addition to the process.

The increase in communication between the different agencies and the access to the various agency programs have been instrumental in our

growth and success.

We are looking forward to another year working with these agencies. They include Saskatoon Community Mediation Services, John Howard Community Justice Services and Saskatoon Tribal Council.

We have also become involved with the Saskatchewan Restorative Justice Network and do try to attend most of the meetings but they are held during the day and our committee members (besides the mediators) are volunteer and often are not able to attend.

We had a discussion about our struggles over this past year, noting the reduced file numbers. We discovered one constant theme for all the years we’ve been in operation (since 2002): we must constantly reintroduce ourselves.

WHAT WE DO

In the communities where Valley West provides service, very few people know who we are and what we do.

The simplicity of our involvement is this: a minor crime takes place in your community. A charge may or may not be laid before a referral from the Prosecutors office is given to our Committee. Our mediators meet with the victim, then the offender.

A meeting date is arranged and the mediation takes place.

The outcome for both the victims and the offenders is a very healing process for both. The process can be pretty powerful and very effective. Valley West runs at a high rate of success and has few repeaters. That’s a

pretty impressive record.

Our committee works closely with the Ministry of Justice Community Service division in the delivery of this service and constantly search for ways to access more files.

UNRESERVED PUBLIC FARM AUCTION

Circle P Farms Ltd. – Scott & Eric Ponath Naicam, SK | July 3, 2014 · 11 am

THREE MEDIATORS

Presently our committee has three mediator contracts with the Ministry and we conduct both adult and youth mediation in predominately the Warman RCMP Policing area. We also have done files in the past from Rosthern, Beardy’s, Dalmeny and the RM of Corman Park.

It’s a very large area and our mediators do a lot of travelling.

Mileage for the actual mediation is paid by the Ministry of Justice but any travelling before the mediation is not covered. The expectation is that the facilitator conduct the preinterviews over the phone but most of our mediators opt for one-on-one, finding it more productive in person.

ELECTIONS HELD

Elections were held for Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. All positions were reelected by acclamation as follows: Chairperson Judy Morris, Secretary Carolyn Stone and Treasure/ Director Sharon Martens.

We are here because we are committed and we believe in the process and the power of the process. We were officially incorporated in 2002. Our committee consists of people from the communities we serve.

SHR report looks at health inequity within region

COlourful dancers There was plenty of colour at the PotashCorp Wanuskewin Days on June 20-22. Heavy rains prevented an outdoor show, so the first powwow was inside the art gallery in the main building on Saturday evening June 21.

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The third in a series of Better Health for All online reports released on Monday, June 23 by Saskatoon Health Region takes an in depth look at health equity by examining the differences and trends in health between people in our Region over a 15 year time span.

“Not everyone has the same opportunity to live a long, healthy life. This data demonstrates that while health is improving for some it is not improving for all. Some people are disadvantaged from being healthy because of income, education, housing, race, age, disability and other socially determined circumstances.” says Saskatoon Health Region’s Chief Medical Health Officer Cory Neudorf.

Using a deprivation index, a measure comprising data relating to education, income, employment, etc., the report compares the health conditions of people over a 15 year time-span across five areas of Saskatoon, each containing about 20 per cent of the city’s population.

The report shows: Life expectancy has increased for some of our population but has remained unchanged for others. On average, those living in areas of highest deprivation live about nine years fewer than those living in areas of lowest deprivation.

Fewer people are being hospitalized for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke, heart disease, mental illness, injury, and in-

tentional self-harm. However, more people are being hospitalized for diabetes than ever before.

On average, people living in areas of highest deprivation have higher rates of hospitalization and physician visits.

The gap in health between those in the areas of highest and lowest deprivation is large and has persisted for many years.

While the factors that determine health lie largely outside the health system, the report focuses on what health care providers and decision makers can do to remove barriers to achieving health equity within the health care system itself.

The report is summarized on www.communityview.ca
