The general public is reminded that when they see emergency vehicles that they are required by law to immediately pull over to the right hand side and stop. Failure to do so could result in a ticket being issued to the registered owner, resulting in a $125 fine.

MD Ambulance paramedics transported the stabbing victim to Royal University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Search teams combed the ditches in the area of the crime scene and were able to recover a knife that will be used as evidence in the case. The investigation is continuing by Saskatoon RCMP, RCMP Major Crime Unit North, RCMP Forensic Identification Services and RCMP Collision Reconstructionists.

New fire protection deal between Corman Park, NCPFCA implemented By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A new four-year service agreement between the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA) and the RM of Corman Park comes into effect this month. The new agrement, which became effective July 1, replaces a deal first signed back in 1994 and modified in 2010. The deal is set to expire on June 30, 2018. However, if a new agreement is not in place by that date, the recently-signed deal will be considered renewed for an additional four years. “It’s been a long time in the making, but we’re really happy to have this agreement in place and settled,” said Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood in an interivew on Friday, June 27. “We need all those fire departments to work with us on a regional level. It’s all about cooperation because dollars are in short supply for all municipalities and we have to work together to make things work.” Corman Park Council formally adopted the agreement at its meeting on Monday, June 16. The City of Warman, City of Martensville, Town of Osler, Town of Dalmeny and Town of Langham have also ratified the deal, which was signed by all parties on Friday, June 27. The NCPFCA is a mutual-aid organization made up of the volunteer fire departments in Warman, Martensville, Dalmeny, Osler and Langham. The departments respond to fires, medical calls and motor vehicle collisions in their communities and in the surrounding rural areas. If any of the departments need backup, they can call on the other communities for assistance. Under the terms of the new fire protection agreement, the RM of Corman Park pays prescribed rates to receive fire protection from the NCPFCA, and also contributes financially toward the purchase of capital equipment for the different departments. When the first agreement was implemented twenty years ago, the RM paid $250 per hour with a minimum 3-hour charge where firefighters and equipment were engaged in fighting a fire. The same rate was charged for false alarms and also for backup departments. In 2010, the rate for “pro-

North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association firefighters train during a live burn earlier this spring near Warman ductive” hours was raised to $635 per hour and $480 for “non-productive” hours. The $250 charge for false alarms was unchanged. Under the new deal, the rate for “productive” hours is $852 per hour, while the “non-productive” hourly charge is $511. The $250 flat fee for false alarms is still unchanged. There are also additional charges for extra equipment and supplies needed by departments fighting fires, and also for damage to equipment not covered by the department’s insurance policy. The biggest change in the new agreement is the commitment by the RM of Corman Park to set aside a “capital allowance” of $400,000 annually to be divided equally among the five municipalities. “This capital allocation is intended to replace aging equipment purchased by the RM back in the early 1990s,” explained Corman Park Adminis-

trator Adam Tittemore. “Under the old agreement, the RM agreed to provide pumper units for rural fires. But those units are now reaching the end of their useful life, and so this capital allocation, which amounts to a total of $1.6 million over the four years of the agreement, is intended for departments to purchase new units.” Once the new fire trucks are purchased, Tittemore said the plan is to allow the existing equipment to be donated or purchased by other departments in the vicinity that are also in need of upgraded equipment. He noted the Asquith Fire Deparment is in need of newer trucks. Many of the calls the Asquith Fire Department responds to are close to Corman Park’s boundary.

SASKATOON AGREEMENT

Corman Park also has a fire protection agreement in place with the Saskatoon Fire Department, which

provides service in those areas of the RM not covered by the NCPFCA. The two-year deal with Saskatoon was ratified by Corman Park Council at a meeting last October. It provides for a yearly payment of $75,000 to the fire department, as well as a charge of $839 per hour per unit for the first hour and $209.75 per quarter hour thereafter per unit, plus the cost of disposables used. The old rate was $450 per hour after the first hour. Under the new agreement, the Saskatoon Fire Department will no longer provide fire inspection services for the RM, as the city does not have the capacity to do so, and has not actually provided the service over the past two years. Both agreements have uniform rates for calls for service. Under the old agreements, there was a difference in rates charged by the NCPFCA and the Saskatoon Fire Department.

Newly-elected Town of Langham councilor Ryan Klassen said he has a lot of ideas about how he would like to improve the quality of life for residents in Langham. Klassen grew up in Lashburn and has lived in Langham six and a half years. He won the June 11 byelection after long time councillor Gerry Chouinard resigned. The stay-athome father of three children said he expects that serving on council will be a challenging and rewarding experience. Langham After talking councilor to council memRyan Klassen bers who he said he knew on a personal level in town, he decided to throw his hat in the ring. “I talked to a few of the members and there is a bit of frustration getting things done,” said Klassen. “For me I have a bit of a thick skin. I can handle adversity and handle the best and worst of people so hopefully those qualities will help with getting some things accomplished.” Klassen took over the Parks and Recreation portfolio, which will be a challenging task with work to replace the town’s curling rink and add a town storage facility, and a community garden currently on the agenda. Klassen said he favours the idea of a skate park or a new location for Veterans Park in Langham, which was shortened when a new subdivision was built. “For me I would really like to see a new space for those people who have put in their time and service for us,” said Klassen. “When you walk by there you can see the placards and CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Virtually every rural municipality in the province is grappling with the same issues, according to Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park and Division 5 representative on the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) Board of Directors. “I think one of the overriding issues is the state of roads in rural areas,” said Harwood in an interview on Friday, June 27. “Road costing agreements, like those for heavy haul roads that are high-maintenance and cost local governments a lot of money every year, are always a hot topic. “There’s also the issue of who pays for road maintenance in areas that fall under federal jurisdiction.” There were two resolutions that emerged from a SARM Di-

vision 5 annual meeting in Saskatoon on Wednesday, June 25. These resolutions will be forwarded to the SARM annual convention this fall where they will be debated. If passed, they will become SARM policy. One resolution adopted at the division meeting called on the federal government to cough up money to help maintain roads that pass through First Nations lands and Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) lands. The resolution reads: “Whereas existing Treatly Land Entitlement lands and First Nations lands reside within the boundaries of RMs in Saskatchewan, and “Whereas gravelling, plowing and other regular maintenance of municipal roads is a service provided by an RM; and “Whereas RM ratepayers live beyond roads that pass through First Nations land; and “Whereas RM road mainte-

Warman looking to expand city boundaries A proposal to expand its municipal boundaries would increase the City of Warman’s footprint by almost a third. An advertisement of Public Notice was issued this week by the City of Warman Planning and Development Department. The lands in question are on the northwest and southern edges of Warman, and are currently part of the RM of Corman Park. According to the city’s planning department, the annexation of the lands is necessary to fill an immediate need for developable land for future growth, to provide land for orderly residential and commer-

cial growth, and to provide a site for proposed educational facilities. The annexation process is part of the city’s long-term growth plan. A revised Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning bylaws are being prepared and will be made public this fall, according to the department. A public hearing on the proposed annexation will take place Monday, July 28 at Warman City Council chambers. Anyone with concerns about the proposal is invited to contact the planning department at Warman City Hall.

nance services cannot end at the boundary of First Nations land, “Be it resolved that SARM lobby the federal government to make Municipal Road Maintenance Servicing Agreements mandatory for both existing and newly named TLE/First Naions lands to ensure adequate funding is provided to the RM providing the service.” A second resolution called on the province to initiate a “strategy” to control the muskrat population, which is on the increase in several RMs and causing significant damage to roads, dikes and other infrastructure. Harwood said SARM holds a series of division meetings across the province as a way of maintaining two-way communication with individual RMs.

Division 5, which includes the RM of Corman Park, RM of Vanscoy, RM of Aberdeen and RM of Dundurn, is the largest division in the province, encompassing a total of 57 RMs. She said the meeting provided delegates with a lot of information, but she felt the most productive and beneficial session was a “bear pit” discussion that allowed delegates to have a free-ranging dialogue with their counterparts from other areas. “There were a lot of commonalities out there,” said Harwood. “Sometimes people in one RM feel like they’re the only ones grappling with an issue, when it turns out everybody else is also dealing with the same thing. This is the kind of session where solutions can get hammered out.”

A big issue worth Teachers reveal disparity in rural areas more attention By Colin Craig If you know someone who pays more attention to Justin Bieber’s latest antics or Kim Kardashian’s baby bump, try and talk to them about the future of our country. If you can get them focused on big picture challenges – like our nation’s aging population – you might just save yourself a small fortune in taxes. Consider how our country is changing. Back in 1971 there were 7.8 people between the ages of 15-64 in Canada for every person over the age of 65. By 2010 that ratio had shrunk to just 4.9 people of working age for every retiree. By 2030 the federal government expects the ratio to shrink again; to just 2.7 people of working age for each retiree. This change can be chalked up to the massive “baby boom” generation born after World War II and a subsequent drop in the birth rate. Why do those numbers matter? Well, who do you think pays more in taxes – a 55-year-old person who is working and making $60,000 per year or a 70-year-old retiree getting by on a $25,000 annual pension? Obviously it’s the person working, as he or she will pay more in income taxes and likely more in sales taxes as well. That’s not a knock against senior citizens, it’s just a fact of life. But for governments, an aging population presents a major challenge. How can governments pay for health care, fix our roads and provide other important services in the future if a greater share of citizenry are earning less and paying less in taxes? One might assume since our governments have known about this challenge for decades they must have put aside some savings to help address the matter. Sadly they haven’t. Our federal debt is over $600 billion and if you throw in provincial and municipal debt in Canada it’s well over $1 trillion. But that hasn’t stopped most Canadian politicians. Many are still out building expensive new football stadiums (instead saving millions by renovating old ones), signing far too generous contracts with government employees (anyone else out there retiring in their early 50s?) and giving big cheques to businesses through corporate welfare programs. Unless governments want to sink further into debt and flirt with the Greek model, experts advise that governments are going to have to cut spending, raise taxes or a combination of the two. To put the demographic shift problem into perspective, a 2013 report by the federal government’s Parliamentary Budget Officer suggests that provincial governments in Canada are going to face a shortfall of about $36 billion each year as our nation grows older. As a point of reference, the GST brought in about $30 billion in 2013-14. For simplicity, just imagine going to the store and paying not only the GST and PST on your purchase, but also a second GST. Some studies project the situation to be much worse. Either way, hopefully you can see why it’s important for more people to pay attention to what our elected officials are spending money on and the big picture issues that lie ahead. Paying attention to the “Bieber news” can be entertaining, but if too many people skip the real news, it’ll cost us all dearly.

A friend of mine who happens to be a teacher in the city made a couple interesting observations as to why his union has now twice failed to ratify a contract.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

The first issue is a general disconnection between the teachers’ bargaining team and the rank and file. By a wide 63-percent margin, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation voted down a second recommended contract of 7.3-per-cent over four years plus a $700 first-year signing bonus. Last October, the teachers rejected a 5.5-per-cent, four-year deal recommended by their committee. This suggests that those at the bargaining table don’t seem to know what their own members want. But when asked why this was the case, my teacher friend noted that rural teachers aren’t as eager to take the first offer handed to them as they used to be. There used to be a certain level of predictability in province-wide unions like the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation largely based on where people lived. Urban teachers may have their problem of too many teachers wanting to work in city schools; some rural teachers didn’t necessarily face. That said, rural teachers have never been compensated for working in smaller towns. Actually, they were usually the first to agree to small wage settlements because they knew their steady paycheque was often better than what a lot of farmers were getting.

But with the demise of smaller farming units in the past 20 years in particular and the profitability of large farms in these better times in agriculture of late, there has been a decided shift in rural Saskatchewan, my teacher friend noted. Rural teachers feel they are now falling behind; especially with the cost of living also rising in rural Saskatchewan. And seemingly unbeknownst to even their own bargaining team, they are demanding more to keep up. Like anywhere else, rural Saskatchewan was a place where there was always some economic disparity. But the traditional nature of Saskatchewan rural economy, where it wasn’t always easy to make a buck, was always a great equalizer. For example, during the Great Depression when twothirds of rural Saskatchewan teachers made less than $700 a year, the farmers and business-

es paying their salaries were doing no better and sometimes worse. This has changed a bit in the current rural Saskatchewan where the boom in oil, agriculture and potash has turned much of rural Saskatchewan on its head. That said, it has also created more economic disparity than rural Saskatchewan has seen in some time. Consider the average wage at SaskPower; now over $100,000 a year; partly driven by the overtime for linemen or workers running rural-based power plants at Poplar River and Boundary Dam. Consider what has happened to nurses’ salaries. Combined with those oil workers and potash miners and the disposable income in the farming community and there are a lot of rural people out there that are thankfully doing rather well. This reality is apparent in sky-rocketing housing costs in smaller cities and

towns. However, some public servants like teachers or highway workers haven’t been doing quite as well. Nor have all rural retail stores or restaurants necessarily kept pace. It’s been tougher on some rural businesses because of depopulation and the eagerness and opportunity of those rural residents with disposal income to shop elsewhere. And with an aging rural population on fixed incomes, First Nations living on reserves or even those remaining small farmers or business left behind by the boom, one can only wonder how those who are poorer and are going to keep up with the boom. Such disparity may have an impact on not only rural Saskatchewan but also on the province as a whole. All one really has to do is look at the unpredictability in these teachers’ negotiations to see the impact it is now having.

Rain rage is not just an urban dictionary definition I wrote a story about the weather recently. It goes like this. Rain. You suck. The end.

cause that yellow circle in the sky has not been frequent enough this summer. Last week Saskatoon and surrounding areas have seen about 100 mm of rain, and 200 mm for the month of June, which will make the record books if we surpass that number by the end of the month. With the flooding in Southern regions of the province this weekend, we are probably already there. I know in the past month I’m sure I have mowed my lawn like a half a million times. Okay, well it hasn’t been that much but you get my point.

It’s amazing the effect of how rain can affect so many things. Growing up I was taught in school, like everyone else, that rain makes everything grow. For parents I am sure the only thing that is growing is frustration, especially with the last day of school for the summer holidays. Parents who have their kids enrolled in camps and sports had have to deal with numerous cancellations, which means if the rain continues kids are staying home more, geting under your feet and complaining that they

have nothing to do. Sigh. Then there is the issue of spring maintenance. In a recent City of Saskatoon press release it stated that street sweeping, pothole patching, and other road repair work will be delayed for eight to 10 days due to the soggy weather. How about tourist events? I’m sure there were many events that were cancelled this month because of rain. If that wasn’t enough, one of the province’s major dams had to release water twice this month because of rainfall, making the South Saskatchewan River look like it

is going to overflow its banks. Don’t get me started on the high water table. What does all this doom and gloom lead to? You guessed it: Rain Rage. There is actually a term in the urban dictionary, believe if or not. Its explanation describes rain rage as “Feelings of anger and aggression toward all people and things after multiple days of rainy weather.” Now I don’t know if I am feeling aggressive yet because that would require too much energy at this point. I’m still in the depressed stage.

As human beings we depend on sunshine, which is why I would feel bad for anyone who suffers from seasonal depression disorder, but I guess I should not complain, really. Whenever I have talked to anyone in the last month, whether it was a coworker or a stranger at a gas station pumping gas about the weather I got the same answer: ‘We had the same weather last summer. We only get one week of sun during the summer, remember. We live in Saskatchewn, duh. Stop complaining.” I am crossing my fingers for a sunnier July.

THIRTY YEARS OF CARING

K.C. Charities making a big difference for seniors ity rented a facility to start fundraising bingos and later purchased the Safeway building on Avenue H and 20th Street. Bingo games were held there until electonic gaming came in, so the hall was sold. We then concentrated on our buildings and it has been a great success.” Martens talked about the continuing role that Bob Jeanneau has played. Jeanneau, a member of the Knights of Columbus for 60 years, is a past president of K.C. Charities Inc. and currently serves as the chair of the executive management committee overseeing Columbian Manor and Columbian Place. “He is a father image, encouraging and guiding us, imparting his knowledge,” said Martens. “He has vast knowledge and experience in operating commercial buildings.” As a tribute to Jeanneau’s passion and dedication, 51 assisted living units that were added to Columbian Manor were called The Bob Jeanneau Assisted Living Centre. At the June 22 reception,

K.C. Charities Inc. celebrated 30 years of service with a ‘Come and Go Reception’ at Columbian Manor on Sunday, June 22. This beautiful seniors’ complex, located on Louise Street in the Eastview area of Saskatoon, is one of two housing facilities operated by K.C. Charities. The second and most recent is Columbian Place, located in the Pleasant Hill community on Saskatoon’s west side. Ron Martens of Warman, K.C. Charities board representative for the Immaculate Heart of Mary Knights of Columbus (K of C) Council 9960 in Martensville, is the current president of K.C. Charities, a role he has filled since 2007. He said the start of K.C. Charities was based on a commitment to providing a needed service to seniors. “Bob Jeanneau and Peter Harvey had a dream and started K.C. Charities 30 years ago,” explained Martens. “The char-

Jeanneau gave a presentation on the history of K.C. Charities. Jeanneau said while the dream of providing affordable housing to seniors originated with himself and Peter Harvey, he was quick pass on the credit for the charities success. “Involvement of the many members of the Knights with various skills contributed greatly to K.C. Charities’ success over the past 30 years,” said Jeanneau. “This doesn’t get done by just one person. It is with great involvement of a lot of people. Challenges were met with the hard work of many members of the Knights of Columbus who devoted many hours to bingo hall work. “Nineteen councils (of the Knights of Columbus) now belong to K.C. Charities,” Jeanneau continued. “Different people from these councils help us operate this place.” Jeanneau also gave credit to the staff “for being passionate in their duties and giving over-

all kind and generous attention to our seniors.” The effectiveness of this cooperation was also expressed by Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison. “It is amazing how we can all work together and how we can benefit others,” said Atchison. The Saskatoon Mayor thanked everyone involved with the K.C. Charities for making a difference. “Your caring and understanding give people that faith

and hope that other people care and love them,” said Atchison. In addition to the great working relationship with the City of Saskatoon, the charity has also worked closely with provincial and federal government agencies, such as CMHC and Sask Housing, in the construction of the buildings. Ron Martens explained: “We have a very good working relationship with federal, provincial and civic governments. They have really come to the

well for us because Saskatoon needs the housing and all levels of government recognize this very important need and they have been very good in assisting us to provide these facilities.” Martens explained that money from government is used for capital costs, not operating costs. The charity operates its own facilities, allowing it to provide accommodation below market value for rent in both the assisted living units and the apartments. Martens stressed the charity’s goal is to “provide faithbased affordable housing for seniors.” He also said the variety of skills by numerous volunteers is the key to success. “We enjoy what we do,” said Martens. “There is always something on every night; knitting club, movie night, shuffleboard, pool, Wii games and live musicians and daily mass. It is a wonderful facility to live in.” Of the 202 senior apartment units that K.C. Charities owns and operates, it was best summed up at the end of Bob Jeanneau’s presentation when he said: “Each one is a place called home.”

Warman Fire Department kicks off summer-long bike helmet campaign The Warman Fire Department kicked off their Summer Helmet Safety Program on Tuesday, June 24 by blitzing the 1500 or so students at the Elementary and Middle Schools. Every single student wearing their helmet to school those days got a coupon for a free Slush from the Warman Corner Store, Warman Co-Op or Warman Tim Hortons. “Our Firefighters will be out in the fire trucks and in uniform all summer giving out rewards to kids wearing helmets while wheeling around the city,” said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin. “When they redeem the coupon for treats, they put their name on the back of the coupon and are entered into draws at the end of Summer.” Prizes include four bikes, ten helmets, and a MGP and Lucky Scooter.

“We are even rewarding families who are all out wearing helmets this year by entering them into two draws for a weekend at the Radisson Hotel for a watersliding retreat,” said Austin. “But every member of the family must be wearing helmets when we see them to be entered. It’s going to be a fun and safe Summer!” Austin said it’s important to remember that the firefighters will always be in uniform and in fire trucks when giving out coupons, never in private vehicles or regular street clothes. “It is hoped with education and awareness that more people, especially kids, will wear helmets when enjoying our city’s outdoor spaces,” said Austin. “Every year Warman Fire Department responds to an average of two head injuries from not wearing helmets when riding bikes, scooters, and skateboards right here in Warman. Every one of these could have been avoided simply by wearing a helmet.”

Martensville Farmers Market proves popular By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Hundreds of people turned out last Friday out to the grand opening of a new weekly farmers market in Martensville. “It’s definitely a hit,” said Janine Bubnick, coordinator of the Country Farms Marketplace, the organization which has contracted with the City of Martensville to stage the weekly market at the city’s sports centre. “We’ve opened a number of markets and this is probably the best one so far as the number of folks at the beginning of the day. It’s just been fantastic.” Bubnick said there were well over 150 people at the pancake breakfast hosted by the Martensville High School Voyage Club, which is raising money to finance an annual trip. The consignment vendors at the marketplace consist almost entirely of Martensville and area people, said Bub-

ing outdoor vendors adds to the festival atmosphere, which helps draw the crowds. The marketplace will also feature entertainment, including musicians and other acts. While the stars of the show at Friday’s events were small, slimy and didn’t play any instruments, they did grab everybody’s attention. “We had Wrangler Elisa’s Reptile Show and Rescue here entertaining folks this morning,” said Bubnick. “It was pretty popular, especially with the kids.”

Bubnick said she’s confident the marketplace will grow over the summer and be firmly rooted in the community by next year. “It’s all about community,” she said. “We want to provide a place where groups can do fundraising, where local vendors can have an outlet for their products and people can socialize and enjoy the day.” Bubnick said 80 per cent of the vendors at the marketplace “make, bake or grow” their wares, but the marketplace also allows a space for people who sell “trade show” goods or who are home-based businesses. “At some points during the season, there are no fresh vegetables ready yet,” said Bubnick. “It’s nice to have other vendors offering other products to fill that void. Plus they pull in customers who might not otherwise normally attend a farmers market. So it increases the range of people who come to check things out.”

nick, although there are some booths from Saskatoon. Country Farms Marketplace is slated to set up at the Martensville Sports Centre every Friday. On Saturdays the market moves to Confederation Mall in Saskatoon. Bubnick said the location of the marketplace in Martensville is ideal because it allows both indoor and outdoor booths. “Having the big doors into the curling rink, as well as the outdoor parking lot, really gives us the flexibility we need,” said Bubnick. “Sometimes in Saskatchewan, the weather can be pretty unpredictable, even in the summer, and it’s tough on everyone if it’s storming. “This way, we never have to cancel a market. We can just move everything inside if we need to.” Bubnick said many vendors also prefer to be inside. But at the same time, she added, hav-

Warman plugs hole in signage bylaw By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman is moving to prevent highway-style billboards from being erected in commercial and industrial areas. A bylaw to amend the city’s Zoning Bylaw received second and third readings at the Warman City Council meeting on Monday, June 23. The amendment is aimed at preventing the erection of billboard signs similar to the ones along Highway 11, to be installed in commercial areas such as Central Street and Centennial Boulevard. The city’s planning and development committee recommended the change to the zoning bylaw. The committee made the recommendation after finding “a hole” in the city’s signage bylaws which would allow billboards in these areas. The amendement prohibits the installation of billboard signs in residential districts; and states that billboard signs “shall be considered a discretionary use in all commercialand industrial areas.”

INTERSECTION REPAIRS

One of the City of Warman’s

busiest intersections was slated to undergo a facelift this week. The intersection at 6th Avenue and Central Street was scheduled to be closed on Wednesday, July 2 for repaving.

itoring the situation and the bylaw will be enforced in the coming weeks.

OFF-LEASH DOG PARK

A new off-leash dog park on the eastern edge of Warman near Highway 11 has had a significant amount of earth work done by Iron Mountain Construction, the company which recently won the paving tender for the city’s streets. The improvements to the area include alleviating water issues by installing culverts, making grade changes, and creating a small holding pond. A chain link fence was slated to be installed in late June, and pet waste stations, benches and park signage are all in storage, ready to be installed, said McGonigal.

LEGENDS CENTRE

The installation of the sidewalk has been completed at the Legends Centre in Warman, and the paving stone work is nearing completion in the parking aisles at the sports complex, according to Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal. In his report to council June 23, McGonigal said the improvements have helped increase safety for pedestrians by taking the flow of foot traffic off the driving lane in front of the centre. McGonigal said the sports fields and parks are in good shape considering the excessive rainfall during the month of June. He noted that a major issue emerging as a result of the wet weather is that some residents whose property is adjacent to city-owned land are discharging their sump pumps into the parks. He noted this is not permitted, and that parks and recreation employees will be mon-

PRAIRIE OASIS PARK

McGonigal told council at the June 23 meeting that the tender for expansion of Prairie Oasis Park has been awarded to Wilco Construction of Saskatoon. The park improvements are slated to commence July 23. New playground equipment for the park is being purchased by KH Developments and should be installed in late September.

Martensville adopts bylaw regulating ATVs By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Martensville updated its bylaw regulating All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) at its June 17 regular council meeting. Council gave all three readings to the new bylaw, which replaces an exisitng bylaw enacted several years ago. The new rules clarify how long an ATV certificate of registration is valid for, and also set out how residents can avoid prosecutiion through voluntary pay-

Martensville

ments if they have violated the bylaw. A certificate of registration is required to operate an ATV within Martensville City limits. The ATV must have a visible identification tag attached to it. The bylaw states it is unlawful to operate ATVs between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. and no ATV can be operated on “the travelled portion of any street in the city except to cross a street when travelling from private property to the corporate limits of the

City of Martensville.” It is illegal to operate ATVs in parks, along walkways or other public land, and also on privatelyowned land that has been posted as disallowing the operation of ATVs. Under the new bylaw, the price for a certificate of registration identification tag is $25 and the annual registration of the ATV is $10. The license is deemed to be valid from January 1 to December 31 in the year it is purchased. Replacement tags are available for $15.

Station Arts Centre offers two summer stage productions Unique arts hub in heritage building hosts stage, gallery and restaurant it we have here. There are a lot of volunteers that help out in so many ways, and local sponsorships are invaluable. It just shows how important this centre is to the community.” The big draw for audiences is that they can experience “big city entertainment with a small town experience,” said Thiessen. “We try to have a balance between professional and amateur shows.” In the off-season over the winter months, the centre hosts a series of concerts and shows in the theatre, while also keeping its exhibits in the art gallery fresh. “We like to highlight local artists in the fall,” said Thiessen. Tickets for both “Hilda’s Yard” and “Mesa” are selling well, she noted, adding the cast and crew are gearing up for the first production’s opening night. “We’re finding that people are buying tickets for both productions when they phone,” said Thiessen. “It’s a good sign that they trust the quality they’ve seen in past productions.” While the first performance of “Hilda’s Yard” is Friday, July 4, opening night is slated for Saturday, July 5. It features a chance for audience members to mingle with the cast, as well as meet the “Men Who Paint”, the group of five artists from Saskatoon whose exhibit is on display in the gallery over the summer.

Mounting a live professional stage production in a small community as a one-off event would be a daunting challenge. But the Station Arts Centre has been doing exactly that for almost a quarter of a century. Relying on a blend of hometown volunteers; high-calibre professional stage actors, directors and crew; local business sponsorships and arts funding grants; the centre has earned a solid reputation across the province and the country among both audiences and actors. Housed in the former train station in Rosthern, the Sation Arts Centre houses an art gallery, restaurant and live stage auditorium. Since 1990, it has showcased a major live theatre production every summer. And this year, as the unique arts centre launches its 24th season, the challenge is doubled. Two productions: “Hilda’s Yard” by Norm Foster runs from July 4 through 27; while “Mesa” by Doug Curtis is showing from August 8 through 24. “This is the twenty-fourth season, which is pretty amazing when you consider the size of the community and the calibre of the professional shows,” said Nicole Thiessen, co-executive director of the Station Arts Centre. “I think the reason for the longevity of the centre is due to the community spir-

The cast of Hilda’s Yard includes (left to right) David Granger, Shannon Harasen, Melanie Rogowski, Theresa Germain, Angela Kemp, Matt Josdal, Bruce McKay, Cheryl Jack, Jaron Francis and Stephen Heatley (front) “Hilda’s Yard” is a comedy set in 1956 that revolves around two central characters: Sam and Hilda. With their children all grown up, the two are look-

ing forward to a future as empty-nesters. But all of a sudden their adult kids are back. To live. Not only that, they’ve brought their friends who also

need a place to stay. Thiessen said it’s an hilarious play that has a lot of relevance for today’s audience. The second play, “Mesa” is

about a road trip involving a 93-year-old grandfather and his grandson-in-law who is driving the elderly man to his retirement trailer in Mesa, Arizona. The dynamic between the two conflicting personalities and their experiences along the road lead them both to discover more about themselves and each other. “It’s a story that will appeal to audiences of all ages,” said Thiessen. Rehearsals for the second play of the summer begin in mid-July, while the first production is still running. Thiessen said the cast of the second play will be holding rehearsals in Saskatoon. “There’s no overlap between the casts and crew of the plays,” she said. “They’re completely separate.” Thiessen said the decision to hold two plays was made because of the popularity of the summer productions. It also seemed to be an ideal time to try something new, as both Thiessen and co-executive director Nadine Ens are brand new to the position. “In the past the executive-director’s job was one position,” said Thiessen. “This year it is being shared, so we thought, ‘why not try this and see if it works?’ You never know until you try.” Tickets for both plays are available by calling the Station Arts Centre box office at 306232-5332 or log on to www.stationarts.com. Evening shows start at 8:00 p.m. and audiences have the option of making reservations for pre-show dinners. Both shows feature Wednesday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Dundurn’s Wilson Museum provides fascinating glimpse into community’s past By KIRA OLFERT k.olfert@yahoo.ca

Dundurn’s Wilson Museum opened for its 22nd year this year with its annual May Day Celebration for the children of Dundurn Elementary School. This year, students were treated to tours of the museum as well as demonstrations by glass sculptors, blacksmiths, Victorian bead workers and wildlife carvers. The afternoon was capped off with ice cream and cookies. The Wilson Museum was born from the collection of artefacts that Bob and Maxine Wil-

son began collecting at their home in 1965. In 1992, the collection was moved to the current museum site and the Wilson Museum was incorporated. The site also includes a oneroom prairie school house, a home and a large number of unique old haying equipment. Harry Friesen has been involved as a volunteer with the museum since the beginning, and says that, in his opinion, the three most popular displays in the museum are the Heart Feather Cape, Bill Littlecrow’s Rain Dance Costume, and the Iron Lung. The Heart Feather Cape was

made by a Mrs. Dan Kohles, and contains the heart feathers of more than 4,000 Prairie Chickens. It took Mrs. Kohles 12 years to complete, and she wore it to different homemaker’s club meetings. It is the only cape of it’s kind in the world. Eight years ago, the Wilson Museum acquired Chief Bill Littlecrow’s Rain Dance costume from the Kensaston Antique shop, and they have made a special display case for it. The Iron Lung, a device used during the polio epidemic for helping patients to breathe, is another favourite display. The

one featured at Wilson Museum came from the Isolation Building used by Saskatoon City Hospital during the polio crisis of the 1950’s. School children, especially, says Friesen, “are boggled when they look at this big steel tube contraption, where only the patients head would be sticking out. They want to know how these people ate, and how they went to the bathroom, and what they did to pass the time. And for some of them, it gives them questions to ask their grandparents when they get home, if their grandparents suffered from polio as children.”

The Wilson Museum also has an area dedicated to the memory and story of Charles Augustus Parmer. A homesteader in the Dundurn area at the turn of the 20th Century, Parmer, originally from Brookfield, Ohio, is reputed to have been the brother in law of notorious American outlaw Jesse James, as his brother, Allen, was married to one of James’ sisters. Some believe that Parmer participated in bank raids and train robberies with James, and that he also worked with Buffalo Bill Cody. As the story goes, Parmer was first introduced to Canada while hiding out here with

the James gang after a violent attempted robbery in Northfield, Minnesota, and came back to homestead in the Dundurn area with some of his sons in 1906. Parmer is buried in the Dundurn Cemetery, and was a bit of a local celebrity in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The Wilson Museum is volunteer run and not for profit, and keeps busy, Friesen says with school tours and a lot of seniors’ tours. “We have a lot of pictures from the Dundurn School over the years, and it’s CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

In the years to come, Friesen hopes to see more people volunteering their time at the museum, and also hopes the facility

can modernize itself. “We’d like to have a webpage, so that people can find out more about us.” In addition, Friesen would like to see more rotation of exhibits, so that there is always something new to see. Like most rural museums, the Wilson Museum relies heavily on donations of artefacts, and although Friesen says that he has contributors sign a waiver giving the museum permission to destroy any artefact that is damaged past

repair, he adds “but that has never happened.” Instead, volunteers carefully catalogue the donation and store it for future display. Friesen maintains that museums are an important part of life in Saskatchewan, and points to the people who find memories over the old pictures as his example. “For those people,” he says, “we are a source of their heritage, a place they can visit to remember where they come from.” The Wilson Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from Victoria Day through to Labour Day.

A few hours before game time one had to wonder if the game would be played at all. Regina was being hammered by driving rains that flooded out the city and caused emergencies in nearby communities. But the show must go on and the new-look Riders certainly did put on a show. The green defensive front sacked Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros an astounding 10 times while rookie running back Anthony Allen rushed for a whopping 156 yards with a touchdown on the ground and one in the air in his CFL debut. There were whispers throughout the Rider locker room through training camp that this defense could be better than the one the Riders deployed in 2013 when they allowed a league-low in points. In Week 1, they did nothing to dispel the myth. “That’s something we’ve been talking about amongst ourselves,” admitted rush end Ricky Foley who contributed three sacks of his own. “I wouldn’t want to discredit the guys who were here last year and departed, but we’re coming out of the gate with incredible chemistry. Last year it

was all new coaches and players but this year we’re much more familiar with the system. It’s ‘organic’ if that makes sense.” The Riders had plenty of questions going into the brand new season, not the least of which was how would they replace record-setting tailback Kory Sheets who fled to the NFL? Also with two new linebackers and a new defensive tackle, how would that front seven fare? Those questions were answered in spades and while it’s incredibly early, they received two thumbs up in their season debut. “I thought they played with great effort and executed what we asked them to do,” said Rider coach Corey Chamblin. “The new receivers had a great start. The elements played right to Anthony Allen and he got it done. There’s room for improvement, he missed a block on one play, but I thought he did a good job.” There’s no question there has been a distinct lack electricity this team is used to as we enter a brand new season. The team has played three straight home games already

(albeit two in the preseason) and they’ve yet to draw a crowd over 20,000. The weather is the major culprit in that rainouts have caused pregame practice field festivities to be cancelled for each and every game. The Rider Nation has been put to the test. But Sunday’s showing should be enough to get people catching that Rider Pride. It was an incredibly dominant showing by the green guys and while the Ticats looked lost and completely at witsend dealing with the monsoon, Saskatchewan looked like they were playing on a hot summer day. The game itself was a Grey Cup rematch but it was a hollow shadow of last November’s CFL title game in which the Riders spanked the Ticats 45-23. While the dominance was the same, the hype was minimal. Heck, no one even

brought up the fact Hamilton coach Kent Austin’s image adorns the west side of our stadium on a 7-story banner. “I didn’t get a ring for this win,” Chamblin chuckled. “It didn’t feel like a Grey Cup rematch. They had Zach Collaros, not Henry Burris, and they had Craig Butler who was on our side last year. They had some animosity towards that game it felt like at times, but no it wasn’t a true rematch.” Regardless, the Riders’ mastery of the Ticats continued as they’ve beaten the Steeltowners in four straight games over the past two seasons. But it’s not about Hamilton. It’s about the 2014 Riders carving out their own identity and proving they’ll be a force to be reckoned with as they charge towards the Grey Cup in Vancouver five long months away. So far, so good.

Wanting some exercise? How about some extra cash?

The Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Board (GSCSB) approved a motion to add two pre-kindergarten programs during a GSCSB District Board Meeting June 23. According to board documents, the Saskatchewan provincial budget for 2014-2015 provided for the expansion of several additional new pre-kindergarten programs in Saskatchewan. GSCSB, which has pre-kindergarten classes in 11 of its schools, was allocated two additional programs. Criteria established by the Ministry of Education requires school divisions to establish programs in areas where communities are ranked according to the highest need using demographic, social and health indicators. Following a review of data collected the GSCSB submitted a priority list of schools to the ministry for consideration. St. Maria Goretti Community School and St. Francis School were two schools identified with the highest demand based on the data collected. During the June 23 Board meeting Superintendent Joanne Weninger said she was excited about the new pre-kindergarten additions. “Last year we received one additional classroom and this year we received two. This is very good news for our school division and community that it continues to grow and expand,” said Weninger St. Maria Goretti already has an existing classroom available, which will make the transition to a pre-kindergarten easier than with St. Frances, which will need funding to build a new portable. During the board meeting little was known about whether the Ministry of Education funding would be available to build a portable to accommodate the pre-kindergarten class. As an alternative the GSCSB was looking to set up the Pre-kindergarten program Bishop Roborecki for a year, apply for funding again with the hopes that funding would be available in the next budget year. A June 24 meeting between the Ministry of Education and GSCSB officials confirmed that funding will be available to build the portable hopefully by the end of 2014.

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Saskatchewan Minor Softball Association (SMSA) teams will have to focus on provincial championships after rain forced the SMSA to cancel league playoffs last weekend The SMSA has teams from Delisle, Warman and a combination of female players north of Saskatoon that make up the Twin City Angels, a club that formed this year to increase numbers in the cities of Warman and Martensville. This year the Delisle Thunder finished first in the Squirt B Girls Red division. The Twin City Angels finished second in the A and B Pee Wee Girls’ divisions. The Twin City Angels Bantam B Girls finished in top spot in their division, while the Warman Panthers Pee Wee Boys also finished in first place.

PANTHERS AIM FOR MEDAL

The Panthers finished the season with 10 wins and one loss and received a silver medal in the Presidents Tournament. Panthers head coach Kevin Kosmynka said it was disappointing not having the opportunity to shine in the league playoffs. “We would have done well. It is too bad they couldn’t prolong the program so we could end the season right,” said Kosmynka. On July 11 and 12 the Panthers will be heading to Prince Albert for provincials. Last season the Panthers beat zone rivals Delisle, but lost the Western Championship to Prince Albert, said Kosmynka. “Delisle and Prince Albert are two teams we are gunning for,” Kosmynka. “Delisle has been our zone rivals for the last five years, so that will be a great game,” said Kosmynka. “We are going up against Prince Albert, the defending Western Canadian Champions. We got silver last year and they got gold so we want to knock Prince Albert off the pedestal.” The Panthers include players mostly from Warman with three players from Maymont, Langham and Osler Kosmynka said the boys were a well-focused team and a joy to coach this season. “We really got a solid core of pitchers and hitters. All of the kids have really blended well with the way we coach and we worked on it,” said Kos-

mynka. “We have kids hitting at home, in their spare time. They came to the practices and they are ready.”

ANGELS UNDEFEATED

The Twin City Angels Bantam B Girls went undefeated in league play this year, which head coach Colin Mennie said had a lot to do with the girls solid pitching and hitting, but the team’s defensive composure on the field was one of its finer qualities. “They maintained composure on the field. If a ball went awry they didn’t start getting excited and start throwing the ball around,” said Mennie. “They would hold onto it and hold that person at that base instead of throwing it and making an error and end up giving the other team an extra base.” The Bantam Girls were scheduled to play their provincial games in Regina June 27 to 30.

Diamond Dogs’ solid pitching keeps score close against team New Zealand By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs’ pitching made a difference, but it wasn’t enough to slow down the bats of Team New Zealand in Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) action, Wednesday, June 25. New Zealand is the 2013 International Softball Federation World Men’s Softball Champions who played four games against SASA teams in a International Exhibition Series Tournament at Bob Van Impe Stadium, June 24 and 25. The exhibition games will help New Zealand defend its 2013 World Softball Championship title in Whitehorse, Yukon, July 11 to 20. On Tuesday June, 24 Team New Zealand defeated the Saskatoon Diamondbacks 10-7 and thumped the Bruno Merchants 14-1. During Wednesday’s games, June 25 New Zealand defeated the Diamondbacks 10-3 and the Diamond Dogs 3-1 It didn’t take too long for New Zealand to get on the score sheet when lead off hitter Jerome Raemaki smashed a ball into the centre field bleachers on the first throw of the game from the Diamond Dogs Brian Newton to make the game 1-0. In the top of the second, Team New Zealand’s Brad Row tripled on a hit smashed deep to right field, then scored a run on the next hit sent deep to centre field to make score 2-0. The Diamond Dogs’ Brian Newton set the pace for the next three innings, shutting down nine New Zealand batters until the Diamond Dogs’ Brody Busby crushed a home run deep to centre field to close the run gap to 2-1. But all hope of a tying run was ruined in the top of the seventh when Raemaki drove in a

run before being tagged at second to help his team win the game 3-1. Diamond Dogs outfielder Shawn Colborn said he was busier than usual in the outfield, but it was a great experieince playing against some of the top softball players in the world. “They are really well prepared. Their pitching is solid, defence is incredible, so you learn a lot just from playing against them,” said Colborn. Grant McCarroll, coach of the New Zealand Mens National team, said the standard of Fastpitch Softball in Saskatoon is very strong. Compared to Team New Zealand’s one-sided final scores against the Merchants and Diamondbacks, McCarroll said it was the Diamond Dogs’ solid pitching effort by Brian Newton that made the difference in the tight final score. “He was solid with good speed and variety. Our Black Sox hitters did not hit as well as what we would have expected in the game,” said McCarroll. “No disrespect to Newton as he pitched a good game and was well supported by some good defence.” This is the second year the Diamond Dogs and SASA teams played an international exhibition softball series against a national team from New Zealand. Last year the Diamond Dogs lost 5-3 to a Junior national team from New Zealand. This was the first year that a men’s team from New Zealand participated. If New Zealand are successful in defending their title in Whitehorse, they will most likely be back next year in Saskatchewan to defend their World Championship title for a third time as Saskatoon will be hosting the 2015 World Softball Championship.

SGI rates set to increase 3.4 per cent August 1

SaskEnergy rates going up

The provincial government has approved a 3.4 per cent overall increase to Saskatchewan Government Insurance’s (SGI) Saskatchewan Auto Fund vehicle rates, along with rate rebalancing, and a one per cent increase to the capital amount on all rates. The new rates will take effect Aug. 31, 2014. “Saskatchewan’s auto insurance rates will continue to be among the lowest in Canada,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. “Rate rebalancing is necessary to ensure fairness. Our government is hopeful that the work done by SGI and the Motorcycle Review Committee, in addition to the current review of automobile injury coverage, will have

The Government of Saskatchewan has approved SaskEnergy’s application for an increase to its commodity rate – the first increase in six years. With this change, SaskEnergy’s commodity rate moves to $4.84/ Gigajoule (GJ) from $3.82/GJ, increasing the average residential customer’s bill by $9.57/ month, effective July 1, 2014. The rate will have price protection through the next winter. “One of the coldest winters in decades created extreme volatility in commodity markets across North America, which is why SaskEnergy waited for markets to stabilize in order to set a longer-term rate that would be price protected through this coming win-

a positive impact on future insurance rates.” The 2014 rate program will bring 95 per cent of vehicles to within five per cent of the rate required for their vehicle group to break even. Including motorcycles in the rebalancing will see their claims shortfall drop to $5.6 million, compared to $7.2 million if there were no changes to current motorcycle premiums. The end result is a net increase of 4.4 per cent to basic auto insurance premiums; however, this is not applied across the board. Due to rate rebalancing, customers will see increases or decreases based on the actual cost of claims for their vehicle type, resulting in:

82 per cent of Saskatchewan vehicle owners receiving a rate increase, with an average annual increase of $44; 17 per cent of vehicle owners receiving a rate decrease, with an average annual decrease of $12; and the remaining vehicle owners (about 6,000) seeing no change to their rates. To help reduce rate shock, vehicle groups with annual rates greater than $1,000 will be capped at a maximum increase of 10 per cent, while those with annual rates less than $1,000 will have dollar caps ranging from $17 to $100. The rate cap amounts are based on the SRRP’s recommendation that rate increases be capped at two-

thirds of the level originally proposed by SGI. For vehicle owners receiving rate decreases, SGI will apply the decrease immediately on August 31, 2014. Vehicle owners who have already insured their vehicles past Aug. 31 will automatically receive a refund for amounts in excess of five dollars for the difference between their old rate and their new rate to the end of their policy term. For those receiving rate increases, the new rate will apply the next time the owner completes a vehicle transaction on or after August 31, 2014 Rates for each vehicle type are available on SGI’s website at www. sgi.sk.ca/rates.

ter,” Minister responsible for SaskEnergy Jim Reiter said. “A rate adjustment now gives customers time to prepare for when the higher consumption months return later this fall. SaskEnergy’s commodity rate is a direct pass-through of the costs to purchase customers’ gas from producers on the open market, with no profit or loss factored in. SaskEnergy tracks the difference between its commodity rate and what it pays for customers’ natural gas in the Gas Cost Variance Account (GCVA). The GCVA currently is in a customer owing position due to purchasing additional volumes of natural gas at market prices above the SaskEnergy rate this winter.

ANSWERING THE CALL Asquith Fire Department covers area from Saskatoon to Perdue By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Asquith Fire Chief Colin Graham is familiar with just about every inch of Highway 14 from Perdue to Saskatoon. He and his colleagues with the Asquith Fire Department are often the first ones to get called when somebody’s life is on the line after a serious motor vehicle collision on the narrow two-lane highway. “Our busiest scenario these days is definitely Highway 14,” said Graham in an interview in late June. “There’s more and more traffic on that highway every day. Speeds are increasing, and people just don’t seem to be paying attention when they’re driving. “It’s not a pretty sight sometimes.” That’s why members of the volunteer fire department and first responders spend so much time and effort fundraising in order to purchase life-saving equipment. “You need to have the right extrication equipment to be able to get somebody out of a wreck in the shortest possible time,” said Graham. “The old tools just aren’t capable because the metals being used in the new cars these days are changing every year. There’s so much technology in building the cars, and that impacts on what we do at the scene of a collision.” Graham said the Town of Asquith is the department’s biggest supporter, having contributed a building in 1990 that the department shares with the municipal public works department. The department is looking to the town to expand the buildling by adding a couple more bays for trucks. But Graham said there is also a need for additional vehicles, noting the department’s newest truck, a pumper unit, is a 1991 model.

The department is still using some vintage trucks for occasional calls in town, including a 1953 Chevy and a 1954 Ford that wouldn’t be out of place at a Show and Shine event. They even have an antique Model A Ford fire truck that’s still in working condition and housed in the community’s museum, although Graham says with a grin that they only bring that vehicle out for the annual parade. The department has a grassfire truck that was provided by the RM of Corman Park about twenty years ago. Graham said because so many of the department’s emergency calls are outside the town’s boundaries, it’s not realistic to expect local ratepayers to foot the bill for all the rescue equipment they need when dealing with motor vehicle collisions. That’s why the department hosted a major fundraiser earlier this year. A pig roast and live auction drew a lot of support, not just from residents of the area, but also from businesses that helped sponsor the event. “We were just overwhelmed at the level of support we received,” said Graham. “I think people look at this as an investment in their own safety. The money we raise keeps us going. We all travel that highway every day, and unfortunately with the law of averages, sooner or later the person involved in a crash is going to be somebody you know. If these tools can help us save a life, then they’re worth every penny.” There are about twenty firefighters and first responders in the department. They do most of their training in-house or with neighbouring departments, said Graham. He noted that they’re always looking for committed volunteers who are interested in serving their com-
