EDUCATION ON WHEELS

Youngsters enrolled in the Summer Fun program at the Legends Centre in Warman participated in a bicycle rodeo on Thursday, July 3 under the supervision of three members of the Warman Fire Department. Deputy

Fire Chief Russ Austin, along with firefighters Lee Olfert and Doug Engdahl, helped the kids negotiate the course and offered helpful safety tips.

The bike rodeo was designed to encourage kids to learn the rules of the road and to ensure they ride safely.

Red Cross, Credit Unions taking donations to help flood victims The Canadian Red Cross and Saskatchewan credit unions today announced that cash donations to help Saskatchewan residents devastated by recent disasters will be accepted at participating Saskatchewan credit unions from July 4-25, 2014.

Recent heavy rains have caused significant flooding in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan. Based on experience from the 2011 floods, the Red Cross is preparing for a large recovery effort to help Saskatchewan families return to their homes. The Red Cross is currently mobilizing personnel and supplies, such as flood clean-up kits, to assist people impacted by flooding.

“The Red Cross plans to be there to help families and communities rebuild after the flooding in the weeks and months ahead,” says Rebecca Benko, Operations Manager for the Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan. “We appreciate the continued support of Saskatchewan credit unions for helping to make it even easier for peo-

ple to support Red Cross disaster operations here in Saskatchewan.”

“Saskatchewan credit unions believe in helping communities and are especially proud to be able to assist the people in our own province who are suffering after the devastating floods,” says Debbie Lane, Executive Vice-President, SaskCentral. “Saskatchewan credit unions are prepared to help the Red Cross collect donations to support relief efforts in Sas-

katchewan.”

The Canadian Red Cross relies on generous Canadians and corporations to support families impacted by disaster. The assistance provided by Red Cross does not duplicate other available assistance or services and is designed to ensure that essential needs are met and families receive the support they need to recover from disaster.

Saskatchewan residents can give online at www.redcross.

ca/skflood, by calling toll-free at 1-800-418-1111, or visiting their local Red Cross office or any Saskatchewan credit union branch.

Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will help support families as they recover from disaster. This support may include household repair and clean-up materials, replacement items for children such as cribs, occupational and transportation support and replacement of essential health items.

Funds committed to repair flood-damaged roads As floodwaters in some parts of eastern Saskatchewan begin to recede, engineers and contractors are being deployed to assess damages and create plans to carry out repairs.

“Several highways remain closed and many others are still affected by water, but we’re working to ensure damaged infrastructure is repaired as soon as possible,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said.

“Priority will be given to roads with high traffic volumes, roads that provide access to vital facilities such as hospitals, and restoring access to communities that have been isolated by flooding.”

The latest information about emergency road closures can be found on the province’s highway hotline. Drivers can also find information about the status of ferries and barges and other road activities on the hotline.

Despite the wet weather, some new construction work is underway in the province this week. Work is set to begin on a new $4.7-million primary weight supergrid on Highway 361 near Alida.

The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help to plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall.

We can help you with that.

Second phase of joint-use Catholic school design approved

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) approved a motion to accept the draft SK School Bundle Project Phase 2 Concept Design Report during its board meeting June 23.

The Lean 3P (design) process for joint-use schools in Martensville and Warman along with the other 14 schools announced for Regina and Saskatoon is composed of three phases. Phase 1 focused on the development of the base conceptual designs; Phase 2 includes modifications to the base conceptual designs to suit individual sites and school division needs; and Phase 3 includes the development of technical specifications.

Phase 1 concluded on April 11, 2014, and consisted of various meetings and workshops, including gathering input from front-line educators, curriculum experts, facility representatives and students. Through the consultation process it had been determined that each site will accommodate two schools, with one central shared space to form a single cohesive joint-use school. The central shared area includes elements directly related to school programming and community use, which includes a gymnasium, multi-purpose rooms, cafeteria, a 90-seat daycare and a community resource centre.

A concern by the board during the first part of the design process was the assurance that Catholic schools will have a distinct identity.

Greg Chatlain, GSCS Director of Education, said in an interview that it is very important to the board to have an identifiable presence in the design and the features of the building.

“There is certainly uniqueness to what we offer in our education and that needs to also be supported by the look and feel of our building.”

But there are still a few obstacles in the way concerning the Saskatoonbased joint-use schools and the City of Saskatoon around land procurement.

John McAuliffe, superintendent of education for GSCS, said during the board meeting that Saskatoon has a levy on lots that would be used for joint-use schools, which means if a school is to be built on a certain lot then the city would partner with the particular school division and enhance what is being built. If no school is built the levy will go towards the development of a community centre.

In recent discussions with the city, it was suggested that the contribution of the levy would not be used for joint-use facilities but would be used to procure land, which is a concern for McAuliffe.

McAuliffe said if the City of Saskatoon plans on changing the rules midway through there will be some discussion about it.

“What this will mean is some enhanced space will no longer be in the building,” said McAuliffe. “When you compare the multipurpose room in Holy Family Catholic School that multi-purpose room serves the school well for break out space but also for what you might call a junior gymnasium.”

McAuliffe added that it is an issue that the board should be aware of with its discussions with the province.

Saskatoon trustee Tom Fortosky said during the board meeting that the levy is unfair.

“We as a board going into joint type facilities want to partner with • Greg Chatlain, the City of Greater Saskatoon Saskatoon Catholic Schools with the intention that Director of Education they will be putting more into this facility,” said Fortosky. “Now they are backing off on that and everyone is going to let this happen. It seems hypocritical and I don’t think this is going to fly.”

McAuliffe also said the mass of the joint-use schools will be large on a tight 7.5 to 8 acre parcel of land, which means a very large structure on a tight lot with or without roadways on either side, which are some of the challenges still in the report.

Saskatoon Trustee Ron Boechler asked if there was any talk in light of Alberta and their decision to pull out of P3 to finance their schools and save

“There is certainly uniqueness to what we offer in our education and that need to also be supported by the look and feel of our building.”

$14 billion.

Chatlain explained that there has been a fair amount of communication between Saskatchewan and Alberta through this process. He also said that the ministry is still moving ahead but a determination has not been made.

“They are still working through the final part of the value for money calculation,’ said Chatlain. “The same dollar figure they said they will save compared to the traditional method (of building a school).”

Jim Carriere, also a Saskatoon trustee, brought up the issue of maintenance commitments from private partners. Chatlain said there are talks to have a component added that will keep all parties at the table. What it will look like for all 18 joint-use schools is yet to be determined.

McAuliffe said the ministry has attempted to work with the five school divisions involved in the 18 joint-use school projects on things divisions would like to maintain.

“An example would be custodial services. We don’t want a third party to come into our school division,” said McAuliffe. “We would like a caretaker to know our students and staff like we do today.”

If the government decided not to go through with the P3 process and go with a traditional build all the work contributed so far is still valid and would go towards a normal tender bill, said GSCS Chair Diane Boyko.

Last week GSCS board members met with Ministry Of Education officials during a 60-day review of the Lean 3P process, which is standard procedure after each phase is complete.

Chatlain said school officials and the ministry are currently working on phase three, which will continue to involve school division representatives in the development of the performance specifications which will describe the quantitative and qualitative requirements for the project.

“The next phase would be getting into the more procurement piece,” said Chatlain. “If we are going to P3 then that information gets fed into the process for that design team that would be embedded in that P3 and then they will take that design and work through it individually and with the boards, whoever is the successful group.”

McAuliffe said the final phase of the 3P process is tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Costly, confusing new recycling tax needs answers

COMMENTARY

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) welcomes the Environment Minister’s decision to extend the June 30, 2014 registration deadline for the new province-wide Multi-Material Recycling Program (MMRP), but has serious concerns with the direction the government is going with its new approach to recycling.

“Meaningful consultation starts with asking whether we need to change our current approach to recycling—this was a missing step that we now have a chance to fix,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s Vice-President, Prairie and Agri-business.

British Columbia recently introduced changes to its existing recycling program based on a similar model that Saskatchewan is considering. “BC took its evolving recycling market which had a lot of competition and innovation and essentially created a monopoly and gave that monopoly tax and regulating power,” said Laura Jones, CFIB’s Executive Vice-President. “It’s been a disaster from concept to execution and a lot of small businesses are really upset. Worse, there is no demonstrated environmental benefit. Saskatchewan should follow Alberta’s lead and think very carefully before following BC down this road.”

New rules in Saskatchewan will require businesses that sell packaged goods or supply printed paper to Saskatchewan residents to measure it by weight and pay a still-to-be determined fee to a group called Multi-Material Stewardship Saskatchewan (MMSW).

“We’ve been getting calls from confused, frustrated small business owners concerned that the government is effectively making them sign a blank cheque to an unaccountable non-government agency. Who thinks this is a good idea?” asked Braun-Pollon.

CFIB is concerned that consumers and businesses will both pay more for recycling if the plan goes forward. The plan has MMSW charging businesses and then writing cheques to municipalities.

“Essentially you are creating a new bureaucracy and adding a bunch of new costs into the system. It’s unlikely that municipalities will be passing on the savings from the cheques they get and very likely that business owners will pass on some of the new costs—how is this a win for anyone?” added BraunPollon. One small business owner told CFIB: “I already participate and pay for municipal recycling in my community, and now I will have to pay more.”

CFIB recently sent a letter to Premier Wall and the new Environment Minister raising its members’ serious concerns with the province’s new recycling regulations and recommended the provincial government press pause to re-evaluate program objectives and re-evaluate alternatives for achieving those objectives.

“We are pleased the government is going to think this through before taking any rash steps and CFIB plans to fully participate in the consultations including surveying our small business members. If any other small businesses want to make sure their views are heard, we encourage them to contact us,” concluded Braun-Pollon.

Province needs real rainy day fund So why don’t we have a rainy day fund for real rainy days?

The most obvious answer is that we don’t particularly want to pay more taxes and have been conditioned to believe any government surplus is just our tax dollars wasted.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Next to spending too much money, which created the deficits and debt in the 1980s for which we are still paying, the most egregious sin a government can commit is saving too much money.

But if you consider the way that the former Progressive Conservative government got into trouble, it was by deficit budgeting that also did not take into account the extraordinary economic circumstances created by the worst drought conditions since the 1930s.

As it turns out, flooding a quarter century later is as hard or harder on provincial coffers. And given that Saskatchewan in the last five years has endured the highest June precipitation amounts and worst flooding in a century, it’s now as frequent.

By the time the sun finally peeked out last week, 53 Saskatchewan rural communities and small cities had declared a state of emergency, including the cities of Yorkton and Melville that had to evacuate its hospital. Some 800 people were forced to leave their homes.

The damage to these communities is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, although that may be matched by what east side farmers can expect to bear in crop loss.

Meanwhile, 19 Saskatchewan highways, including such major routes as the Trans-Canada, Yellowhead and Highway 10 to Yortkon, were all partially closed for days. Repair to these highways alone is expected to be in the tens of millions of dollars.

By all measure, our climate is changing. One need only look at what happened in Calgary last year or what has happened in places like Yorkton and Maple Creek in the last five years.

Whether this change in climate is all, partially or not at all be attributed to man may be less of an issue than the fact we seem to be facing wetter, more violent weather.

And we seem less ready for such disastrous weather events

than we were 25 years ago when drought was the problem.

It was not great initial crisis management by the Saskatchewan Party government. It was either in long-weekend mode or it was not aware of the extent of the damage caused by the rains that started on a Saturday.

Highway hotlines were slow to react with warnings as politicians fumbled with a Provincial Disaster Assistance Plan that really hasn’t been updated since 2003. This, in itself, should tell us that more money must be set aside for better preparation for us for such events.

Admittedly, Premier Brad Wall and his cabinet did seem to rally by heading back to work on Canada Day to announce that damage would easily exceed the $360-million 2011 flood clean-up bill and that the province would dip into its $500-million rainy-day fund.

But despite this bravado, our

problem with our “rainy day fund” is that it can really be used for anything, including balancing the books if revenue is underestimated.

We should have a true contingency fund that can only be touched for the purposes of dealing with extreme weather events.

Sure, it may require sacrifices elsewhere in spending or maybe even higher resource royalties or higher personal taxes to ensure that we can meet these more frequently occurring challenges.

But our wealth now has been created by our booming resource economy and the income it has generated. So why wouldn’t we set aside a bit of that wealth each year and earmark it for weather disaster events as an insurance policy?

After all, most of us attempt to keep a float in our bank accounts for those rainy days.

It’s time government did the same thing.

katchewan stated that the key guideline changes include increases to the income levels for families with one, two or three children and the reactivation of its contribution policy which allows individuals with income levels slightly above the guidelines to access legal aid services for a modest fee.

I can’t forget to mention that those on social or band assistance will continue to be automatically financially eligible for service.

Of course they will.

I guess Legal Aid should pat

themselves on the back, but I don’t think they should toot their horn too loud because the modest increase is really only crumbs.

The old eligibility number for applying for Legal Aid was a maximum monthly income of $1,300 a month.

That number has increased to about $1,600 but the eligibility window is really between $1,600 to $1,800. And if your income is double the latter number you are out of luck.

But, there should be a middle ground when it comes to affording a lawyer for custody or child support.

Our tax dollars pay for those using social services. Shouldn’t there be a policy to reward the middle class poor? They are people too, you know.

When it comes to affordable legal representation in Saskatchewan or anywhere in Canada there really is no relief.

retainer fee for most family lawyers is about $1,100 but that is if you live two hours out of the city.

In Saskatoon that number is double and probably triple.

Now there are other groups besides legal aid that aim to help people who can’t afford representation. There is a group known as the Community Legal Assistance Services for Saskatoon Inner City (CLASSIC), but their guidelines are similar.

Unless you are dirt poor or live in “the hood” you might as well represent yourself.

Sure, family law services in Saskatoon offers a legal aid kit that can be filled out if applicants want to represent themselves. But, when it comes to legal documentation, doing it yourself is a scary option.

How can you check it over to see if you have it filled out correctly when there is no lawyer to act as a teacher or to make sure you have your form filled out correctly?

It would be nice if there was another option for the middle class who fall between the cracks and suffer because of it.

Road to peace and unity aims to honour history one step at a time

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Runners and soldiers from the North Saskatchewan Regiment will be teaming up to honour Canada’s past, present and future with the Road to Peace and Unity Honour Run July 18.

The 100 km route from Saskatoon to Batoche celebrates and honours lives spent and lost in war and this year youth honour runners will pay special tribute to Métis veterans, with each individual honouring an individual veteran’s life and story.

Runners will then congregate at Back to Batoche Days with the unveiling of Canada’s first Métis Veterans Monument and raising funds for the monument along the way.

The inspiration for this year’s run originated in 2010 when organizer Shannon Loutitt trained 15 youth in an honour run to Batoche to honour the reconciliation for the 1885 resistance, which was celebrating its 125th anniversary.

“For me it didn’t matter what side you fought on. Both sides were being honoured. It had a huge impact not only on the youth but on myself as well,” said Loutitt.

Loutitt who is Métis, said after the first run she had been asked to make the honour run an annual event but this year was the only year it became a possibility.

The involvement from members of the North Saskatchewan Regiment made it possible, said Loutitt.

“The North Saskatchewan Regiment had approached me and came on board and asked if they would be a lead on

this run as well,” said Loutitt. “What they wanted to do is run with the youth. I said ‘okay, well, let’s sit down and talk about this and what came out of it was something spectacular.”

Those who cannot run the entire 100 km journey can participate in smaller 1 km, 5 km and 10 km runs along the route.

The adult run will start at 8:30 a.m. at Friendship Park in Saskatoon, close the Gabriel Dumont statue. The second run will start at 7 p.m. in Rosthern at the visitors station, all leading to Batoche.

Saskatoon Police Services will be shutting down Idylwyld Drive for portions of the run in the city and military vehicles will be the runs lead and tailing vehicle the rest of the route to Batoche.

Loutitt said participation numbers are growing every day. The run has about 80 youth runners and about 25 soldiers registered and that number is growing every day.

Loutitt’s personal journey with running originated in first hearing about a story about her grandfather.

In 1904 her grandfather, who was working for the Hudson Bay Company ran from Athabasca to Edmonton to get help for a flood disaster that was there. He made the 100 mile trek in 16 hours and an hour quicker than a rider on horseback that was also sent for flood relief.

Loutitt only found out about her grandfather’s story 100 years after his passing. In 2010 she ran in moccasins and beat his time by making it in 13.5 hours.

As part of the fundraising for the Métis Veteran Monument,

each runner will wear a picture of a Métis veteran on their bib with a brief history of the veteran on the back. At various points along the route there will be honour stations where runners will have the opportunity to thank a veteran and in turn the veteran will have the opportunity to cheer runners on, said Loutitt.

A duplicate of the photo will also be placed at the alter of the monument to show that the person is honoured.

The monument, which is 30 feet in diameter and made from solid granite, needs about $100,000 to inscribe names on it.

Loutitt said Canadians who cannot participate in the run can make a monetary donation online for the monument. In return the donator will receive a lapel sash, a commemorative pin and a postcard detailing information about the monument.

A documentary will also be made about this year’s honour run. Heart Powered Films will be filming the entire event and broadcasting video segments of the run in progress, said Loutitt.

Loutitt said the event will be pretty emotional and exciting for everyone involved.

“We should be getting in Batoche around 11 p.m. They will be lighting up the roads for us as we arrive. There will be some surprises so it will be quite the spectacle,” said Loutitt. “The reason why the honour run is called the Road to Peace and Unity is because of future generations standing along side those that stood on the front lines. Through honouring we find another way to address our history.”

Transportation audit suggests funding model for Catholic schools out of date

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Accurate bus registration lists, bus ride times and the need to retool the provincial funding model for school/bus transportation were items discussed with the release of a transportation audit report at the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools board meeting June 23rd.

GSCS transports 4700 students on 182 routes. Two prekindergarten routes and Martensville are added to the plan, which covers just over a 6200 kilometers daily commute between bus companies First Canada ULC Transportation and Hertz Northern Bus Transportation companies.

In the 2014 Transportation Audit Report it was discovered that 1000 students across the school division were registered for bus transportation that shouldn’t have been.

The audit discovered that most of these students registered either moved on to high school and were no longer at the school.

Joel Lloyd GSCS superintendent, said the inaccuracy doesn’t impact the amount of buses that the division budgets for, which is 8.5 million.

Saskatoon Trustee Tom Fortosky asked Lloyd why so many kids were missed.

Lloyd said with the bus companies registering students it is really up to the school or the parent to let the bus company know.

“That is a connection that is not working right now. We need to have accurate lists for when we do the budget,” said Lloyd.

“The first indication is how many students are registered then we look at utilization. It is information that we are giving to the stakeholders and the board.”

Lloyd said work will be undertaken to correct registration lists, such as making sure registration is updated when students graduate.

One of the ideas floating around is the concept of creating a digital link which will update bus registration lists on a daily basis to indicate how many kids should be registered.

BUS RIDES TIMES

One of the challenges with bussing kids to catholic schools and other immersion programs include’s the length of time each kid spends on the bus.

In the audit report First Canada listed the average ride time at 43 minutes, with the longest ride time at 62 minutes. Hertz’s average one-way ride time was 50 minutes and their longest one-way ride time was one hour and 4 minutes.

Saskatoon Trustee Lisa

Lambert said she is concerned with ride times that go over an hour.

“When I looked at the 64 minute time, I mean to be spending over two hours a day, five days a week, ten months a year on a bus. It is almost like Toronto fighting your way to work. That is adult waiting time.”

Lloyd said some ride times are allowed to go over the 60 minute mark because there is an unwillingness to spend from $38,000 to $40,000 just to drop back ride time by 10 minutes. He also said it will be a continuing struggle the division is facing, especially with the addition of 14 new busses which will be added next year.

“We try to keep within the 60 minutes working with bus companies. Students coming in from Martensville and Warman will be on a bus for an hour and a half. The 62 minute routes are immersion. They are all hard to utilize because it is so hard to get around the city.”

all 28 schools in the division, both rural and urban schools together, said Lloyd.

Diane Boyko, GSCS Chair, said the point is that the ministry needs more money in transportation.

“We are tasked with carving up the same amount of dollars 28 different ways. It is just not working,” said Boyko.

FUNDING TO COVER NEED

With the transportation budget of $8.5 million board members feel the formula the province has in place does not accurately relate to the needs of a growing province.

Wayne Stus, GSCS representative for Martensville and Warman, asked why the province can’t recognize the actual transportation costs.

Lloyd said part of the problem is that the province hasn’t established what accepted transportation procedures are.

“They are very hesitant to fund something 100 per cent based on what the estimated cost will be,” said Lloyd. “I get that part of it because we estimate what we might need for next year.”

Greg Chatlain, GSCS director of education, said the current model takes the budget of your current year, your actuals from the previous year and actuals from the previous year before that.

“The issue board members have is that you can’t base funding on needs from three years ago. When we were talking three years ago for our division that was 1000 less students,” said Chatlain.

“That is a pretty significant shift in busing needs and costs. The other thing is contracting costs whether we run our own fleet or whether we are contracting the service.

With the price of gas, wages and replacement of bus costs.

There are inflationary costs that are significant in this line that are not recognized in going back three years.”

Lloyd said the province is looking at establishing a new model but there is no timeline for it. The growth the division is seeing right now is felt by

Program rewards youngsters using helmets

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A program aimed at encouraging children in Martensville to wear helmets while cycling, skateboarding and roller-blading kicked off for the summer on Wednesday, July 2.

Members of the Martensville Fire Department (MFD) and local RCMP detachment officers are distributing coupons that children can exchange for ice cream, slushies and other treats at sponsoring local businesses.

To receive a coupon, a child must be seen wearing a helmet when riding their bike. If they’re spotted by firefighters and police officers patrolling the streets in marked vehicles, they’ll be stopped and given a coupon.

It’s a program that’s been in operation for several years, and is similar to one in Warman.

“It’s the fun side of firefighting,” said Martensville Deputy Fire Chief Dean Brooman in an interview July 2 at the fire hall. “I think it makes a difference for the kids because it encourages them to be safe.”

Brooman said if kids get into the habit of strapping on a helmet, they greatly reduce their risk of head injuries.

“We’re hoping it becomes second nature to the kids to wear their helmets,” said Brooman. “Unfortunately, we had situations where kids without

helmets have been in accidents, and we just don’t want to see that happen.

“We know how quickly things can turn bad when you wouldn’t think it was that type of situation. Concussions are very serious injuries and they’re not always readily apparent.”

Brooman said it’s important for both kids and adults, not just to wear a helmet, but to have one that fits correctly and is adjusted properly.

Having firefighters and police officers talk one-on-one with children also takes away some of the “intimidation factor” when it comes to authority figures, added Brooman.

“Most of the time it tends to be a crisis situation where someone encounters a policeman or firefighter,” he said. “It’s always nice to get to know the kids on a different level, where there’s no danger and it’s a friendly atmosphere, and they’re receiving a reward for doing the right thing.”

Martensville firefighter Bruce Romanow, coordinator of the department’s bike helmet safety program, said the firefighters and first responders promote the program as a way of giving back to the community.

The father of three young children, Romanow said he volunteered to be in charge of the program when former coordinator Darren Remenda stepped down after six years at the helm.

Romanow said the businesses that are participating in the program are the A&W, Dairy Queen and Martensville Corner Store.

“Without their active participation, we wouldn’t be able to make it work.”

A brush with freedom didn’t last long for a heifer that escaped from the herd late Monday afternoon in Warman.

At about 3:00 p.m., Warman RCMP members were notified that numerous cattle were on the loose on Highway 11 near the overpass. Officers attended the area and assisted the owner and several others in rounding up all but one of the bovines. A short while later at 4:15 p.m., police received another call of a loose yearling on Highway 305 at Crystal Springs Drive on the west side of the city. The owner of the calf, a yearling which had been bred for rodeo bucking, was attempting to capture the animal when it tried jumping a fence and broke one of its legs.

Three RCMP officers and the Warman Bylaw officer found the animal in the ditch adjacent to the roadway. The yearling could not be brought under control and, out of concern for public safety and to prevent further pain and suffering to the animal, the owner consented to having it euthanized.

RCMP members, who were armed with RCMP issued shotguns and RCMP issued service pistols, initially decided to attempt to dispatch the wounded calf with a shotgun, but the owner, a lifetime experienced owner of cattle, advised officers that the duty ammunition of the RCMP issued shotgun would be ineffective and that officers were better advised to utilize their issued service pistols.

One RCMP officer, a member with seven years of police experience, fired 14 shots with his service pistol at the animal. The first several shots were ineffective which resulted in the officer having to fire more shots until such time as the calf was put down.

A veterinarian who attended at the scene advised the officer that several of the shots landed in an area of the animal’s skull that would not have been effective, which resulted in the officer having to fire more shots.

The animal’s remains were removed from the area by the owner.

At least one bystander captured a portion of the incident on video, which has been viewed by the RCMP. That video is consistent with the reports made by the officer and others at the scene.

RCMP policy authorizes RCMP officers to dispatch domestic animals or livestock in cases where an animal is suffering from an injury from which it will not likely recover or where the animal represents a risk to public safety. In this case, the officer, in consultation with the owner, decided that both criteria had been met.

Martensville

Warm weather brought plenty of fun for all at the Martensville Aquatic Centre

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

There’s nothing like a birthday to pull people together, and when it’s your country’s birthday, well the party runs across the land, across time zones and cultures. At 147 years, Canada is no longer an infant, but as nations go, still a young adult.

In Martensville, a steady stream of celebrants found their way to Canada Day celebrations at the North Ridge Community Centre. The Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) has been organizing Canada Day celebrations in the city for the past six years.

“We are way over in our numbers than we’ve ever been this early in the day, so that’s huge,” said coordinator Kristee Lynn Adrian in the early afternoon.

The day itself was near perfect, or at least as perfect as one could imagine after a prolonged flood-inducing prov-

ince-wide rainy season. People rummaged in the files of their memory banks and retrieved “nice day,” a file that had dropped to lower status due to inactivity.

The MCAC made efforts to plan activities for all ages.

New to the event was a Seniors Tea in the morning for older adults and seniors. One of the new family friendly activities was the reading rainbow which was popular with the kids. “They stand beside a rainbow colour that has a number on it and they have the spinner go and it lands on a number and that person gets to take away a book that’s been donated to the MCAC for our use or to gift away. That’s a big highlight,” said Adrian.

“And we have face painting which we hasn’t been done in a while, if ever.” There was also a bouncy house, donut on a string, kinder music and a toddler area.

Theodore’s Bakery donated a huge Canada Day cake – a spectacular Canadian flag -

which was served up with ice cream at 3:30.

Of course, no Canada Day is complete without fireworks which dazzled the night sky over Martensville. Then it was movie time. A three story inflatable movie screen set up in the parking lot showed the Lego movie. “You just bring your lawn chair, your bug spray and curl up and watch a movie. There’s popcorn and cotton candy and glow sticks and the whole nine yards,” said Adrian.

For folks who miss having a drive-in theatre, this comes as a close second.

Canada offers many freedoms, not the least of which is the freedom to gather in public places. At a time when many nations are embroiled in violent clashes, we can be especially thankful for the peace in our land. Celebrating Canada means enjoying the many benefits to living in this great country. And the citizens of Martensville did it well.

Construction set to start soon on Dalmeny Spray and Play Park Plans include memorial to fallen soldier from Dalmeny

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The architects’ plans for the Dalmeny Spray and Play Intergenerational Park are just getting some final tweaks before the project is put out to tender later this month.

“It’s very exciting,” said Crystal Benoit, Head Librarian at the Dalmeny Branch of the Wheatland Regional Library and one of the organizers of the project. “The fundraising has gone way better than our expectations.

We’ve raised over $180,000 in just a year and a half. That’s quite an accomplishment and a real testament to this community.”

Phase 1 of the Dalmeny Spray an Play Intergenerational Park Project includes the design and installation of modern, safe playground equipment, walking paths, landscaping and a memorial to the late Corporal Shane Keating, who died in 2006 while serving with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan.

A meeting on Wednesday, July 2 between the project organizers, representatives of the Town of Dalmeny, the architectural firm of Hanna Crosby and Associates and the manufacturer of the playground equipment made lastminute adjustments to the plans for Phase 1.

“Once those changes are made we can sign off on the plan and it will go to tender,” said Benoit. “We are still hopeful for a September Build Day, but many factors are still at play like the availability of contractors, delivery of playground equipment,

and of course, the weather.”

Benoit is optimistic construction will begin shortly.

She said the tender will include more than 80 per cent of the overall construction of the playground equipment, including all the portions that require the use of heavy machinery. That would leave a portion of the work for community volunteers to complete during a “Build Day” this fall.

“All the concrete work and the actual structures will be done as part of the tender package,” said Benoit. “In addition, there’s landscaping that needs to be done to alleviate some drainage concerns in the area.

“The community members will hang the swings and put on the last few panels and do the finishing touches on the playground,” she added. “That’s important for instilling a sense of ownership and encouraging community participation. But the project itself is way too big to be done in a day. The size of the structure is huge, and there are safety issues we have to be concerned about as well.”

Benoit said the dedication of the memorial gazebo to Cpl. Shane Keating will take place in the spring of 2015.

The gazebo is being built by students at Dalmeny High School, and it won’t be completed until next winter.

“We also want to have a special day set aside for the dedication ceremony,” said Benoit. “We want to keep it separate from the actual opening of the playground.

Shane’s family will be coming in from across Canada, and a lot of people in the military are expected to come out to the dedication as well.”

ADDITIONAL PHASES Over the next few years, additional areas will be de-

veloped as the park is enlarged. The long-term plans include construction of a spray park, refurbishing the basketball courts, developing an adult fitness area, preschool play structure, public washroom facilities and two soccer pitches.

Benoit said the committee will continue to raise funds for the project, noting that even though they have enough money for Phase 1, that’s only about one-third of the total cost of the long-term development.

“We’ve sent in some grant applications, but overall, we’re taking a bit of a break from fundraising efforts right now to focus on getting Phase 1 built,” she said.

“Once it’s completed, we’ll be going full steam ahead.”

The committee relied heavily on online voting contests to pull off a couple of big wins that generated roughly $73,000 in funds, said Benoit.

These included a first-place win in a recent Rider Nation contest where the cheque was given to organizers at a Saskatchewan Roughrider game, and also an “In Motion” contest that saw Dalmeny emerge as the winner in a fitness challenge.

For the most part, funds were donated by individuals, businesses and organizations, she said, and involved projects like bake sales and cookbook sales.

The design of the playground, and the park project as a whole, has involved the entire community. Benoit said the children themselves had a hand in the layout of the playground structure.

Shelley Funk, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Dalmeny, said public consultations were held in 2013, and teachers from Prairie View School were also included in the review.

The projected plan for Phase One of Prairie Park, the Dalmeny Spray and Play park north of Prairie View School in Dalmeny includes a “Junior-Senior Playground structure (inset below), swing sets, a paved walking trail, landscaping and other amenities. One of the focal points will be a memorial to the late Corporal Shane Keating. The final plan may differ slightly from this drawing when complete.

Health region establishes mental health response plan Saskatoon mental health patients living in the community who find themselves in crisis are more likely to receive help from the right person at the right time through a new team with expert mental health training. The team was established by Saskatoon Health Region, Saskatoon Police Service and Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service. The first of its kind model in Saskatchewan is being launched after Saskatoon Health Region Mental Health and Addiction Services received $250,000 in funding for 2014-15 from Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health.

“This program supports the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth goal of eliminating emergency department waits by 2017,” says Health Minister Dustin Duncan. “This will ensure that people are connected with the most appropriate resources.”

The Police and Crisis Team (PACT) is made up of a police officer who has received mental health training and a mental health crisis professional who will be sent to calls when their expertise is needed. Its creation is the result of a part-

nership between Saskatoon Health Region, Saskatoon Police Service and Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service. These groups wanted a better way of responding to mental health and addictions issues on the street.

Saskatoon police officers respond to approximately 5,000 calls per year that involve someone experiencing a mental health crisis and initiated the creation of PACT after hearing success stories from their colleagues in Alberta.

“PACT is another example of how police, health and the community can work together,” says Chief Clive Weighill, Saskatoon Police Service. “Being able to put together a police officer with specialized training with a mental health crisis counsellor will allow us to have the right people responding to these types of calls and to be more effective.”

PACT will help stabilize clients in the community then link them with the appropriate services.

“The Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service is pleased with the opportunity to take anoth-

er step in partnering with the Saskatoon Police Service with the support of the Saskatoon Health Region,” says Rita Field, Saskatoon’s Crisis Intervention Service’s executive director.

“PACT will enhance our collective ability to provide a proactive response to crisis situations involving mental health and addictions. We are confident that its impact will be felt on an individual as well as a systems and community level.”

The goal is to reduce arrests due to psychosocial issues, reduce unnecessary and inappropriate emergency department visits, strengthen partnerships of those serving at-risk individuals and enhance community safety through more effective crisis intervention.

“PACT is another example of how working with our partners in the community, we can improve the care for people who are in a crisis situation,” says Jim Rhode, Chair Saskatoon Regional Health Authority. “It is crucial that we make sure people are getting to the right place for the right care especially in these situations.”

Nominations now being accepted for Order of Merit The Saskatchewan Order of Merit – the province’s highest honour – is getting a new nomination deadline and a new investiture date to prepare for its 30th anniversary next year.

The deadline for both 2014 and 2015 nominations is November 1, 2014. Recipients will attend a ceremony in May 2015, which will commemorate the provincial honour’s 30th anniversary and the Order’s 30th investiture.

“It’s hard to believe that 2015 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Order of Merit,” Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield said. “However, it’s easy to understand how successful this honour has been at attracting qualified nominees for nearly three decades because there are so many accomplished individuals doing such impressive things in our province.”

14072DX00

The fields of endeavour recognized by this Order include: arts, agriculture, business and industry, community leadership, occupations or professions, public service, research, sport and recreation, along with community service.

All current and former Saskatchewan residents are eligible for nomination, with the exception of presently serving Members of Parliament, the Legislature and members of the judiciary. Nominations are accepted for individuals only. Posthumous nominations will be considered within one year of a person’s death. This new nomination deadline and investiture date will now be used annually on a go-forward basis. Nominations for 2014 already made since the last Saskatchewan Order of Merit investiture need not be resubmitted.

Don’t get stranded out on the water, Safe Boating Council advises Submitted by

SUSANNE SIMIC

Canadian Safe Boating Council

It’s a beautiful day; the sun is shining and you’ve just launched your boat for the start of another season on the water. And the thoughts of that tough winter just past are quickly forgotten. Everyone’s on board, excited about the day ahead, so off you go. The day unfolds as you had hoped it would. Until a problem leaves you dead in the water.

It could be that you’ve run out of gas or you’ve had a mechanical breakdown of some kind. What to do?

The real question should be “what should I do before I leave the dock?”

And the answer is “review your check list.”

In the past, the Coast Guard responded to all these calls.

But their resources for dealing with real emergencies were constantly being stretched thin.

The U.S. Coast Guard made it official years ago that they will no longer conduct tows except in life-threatening or dangerous situations. That has spawned a number of towing operations to spring up in the United States.

So American boaters are

forced to call and pay for a private tow if they run out of gas or break down and are not in any immediate danger.

Can we expect the Canadian Coast Guard to adopt a similar policy?

“Presently, the policy with the Canadian Coast Guard is to defer towing vessels that are not in distress or in non-potential distress situations to commercial tow operators which means if you are the skipper of that vessel you best be pre-

pared to pay for the tow.

COMMON SENSE

Now let’s say you are a responsible owner - as most owners in Canada are. You have maintained your vessel and it has plenty of fuel on board for your trip. You’ve even filed a Sail Plan describing in detail where you are going and when you expect to arrive and you have left your Sail Plan with a responsible individual for safe keeping. Excellent.

Just make sure that any contact number you put on that Sail Plan is a number where someone can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “Don’t put your office number down”, says Miller. If the Coast Guard calls and the phone isn’t answered, a contact number isn’t much good.

And, at journey’s end, he says, let everyone know that you are where you should be and everything is fine.

Perhaps your best way to be

BE PREPARED

Many boaters would quickly call up the Canadian Coast Guard for help. “I’m out of gas.

Can you rescue me?” “We’ve been anchored and now my engine won’t start. Can you rescue me?”

The perception that is all too common among boaters in Canada is that the Coast Guard not only saves lives but assists boaters who are stranded. The Coast Guard, in other words, is a water-based version of the Canadian Automobile Association.

Scott Miller, a Maritime Search and Rescue Coordinator with the Canadian Coast Guard says this is a real problem for his people.

Yes, he says, the Coast Guard will come to someone’s aid if they’re having mechanical problems or have run out of gas. But only if there is imminent danger to them or their vessel.

In other words, if your tanks have simply run dry but the weather is fine and your vessel isn’t drifting towards rocks or any other kind of danger, then, Miller says, the Coast Guard won’t come directly.

“We issue a marine assistance radio broadcast and if a towing company or a vessel of opportunity answers it, then we won’t be towing”.

Miller says there’s a very good reason for this. 75 to 80% of calls for help to the Coast Guard are non-distress calls; the most common ones deal with boats that have broken down or run aground or have just run out of gas - far and away the most common call to the Coast Guard.

Running aground is the next most common issue, Miller says. “What we often hear from the boater is ‘that rock wasn’t here last year’. We see an awful lot of boaters who have no charts or, if they do, they don’t know how to read them or they don’t know how to work their GPS. We’ve even seen some boaters trying to navigate with road maps!”

Mechanical failures can strike any boater, any time.

That’s just part of boating.

And it’s not necessarily an indication that the boater has simply failed to properly look after the boat.

PREVENTABLE PROBLEMS

But Miller says the Coast Guard often finds that those who break down do so repeatedly.

“And when we investigate, we find the boat is in total disarray down below”, he said.

The most common calls for help to the Coast Guard are all based on situations that are entirely preventable by the boat owner.

14072MF00

prepared every time is to review your check list BEFORE you leave the dock - fuel, battery, charts, weather, instruments, safety equipment, lifejackets on, etc. You could start making that list now if you don’t already have one.

It’s all simple common sense, isn’t it? Preventative medicine.

And it can go an awfully long way to ensuring that every time you venture out on your boat, you will be safe and you will return safely as well.

Americans win Can-Am Bowl

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The best of 6-man football was on display as graduating all-stars from Canada and USA played in Can-Am Bowl XVIII in Hague on Saturday, July 5.

However, it wasn’t the home team’s day as Canada wound up on the wrong side of a lopsided 53-16 score.

The first quarter of the game was very close with USA scoring first on a single from a wide field goal. They increased this lead when Texan Jalen Chriesman rushed for a TD, after Canada had given up the ball on an interception. The convert was blocked, giving the USA a 7-0 first quarter lead.

They increased this lead to 23-0 with a pair of converted second quarter TDs. The third quarter saw Wyoming’s Sterling Baker score his second TD of the game on a two yard run. Colorado’s Eli Passer caught a TD pass to give the USA a 39-0 lead, before Canada got on the scoreboard when Shayne Mauer from Lemberg, Saskatchewan scored on a long

pass and run play. Hague Panthers kicker Luke Guenter was successful on the convert. The pro-Canada crowd was delighted when early in the fourth quarter Mauer caught another TD pass and Guenter again kicked the convert to make the score 39-16.

In a real momentum killer Sterling Baker returned the following kickoff for his third TD of the game. The Americans added to that lead when Texan Josh Jacks caught a TD pass.

An unsuccessful attempt at a rushing convert resulted in a final score of 53-16 for the team from the south.

Canada’s Coach Clay Kirby spoke very highly of his team’s efforts. He said, “They (USA) are good football players. The best thing is I know our boys gave it their all.” He felt Canada had a few chances to score in the first half and didn’t. Once they lost their momentum it was difficult to get it back.

USA Coach Bear Chesley was delighted with his team. He felt they came into the game a little undersized but made up for that with effort. “Really happy with

RESULTS T EAM

For Adam Friesen and Luke Guenter, it’s the perfect way to wind up their high school football careers.

The Grade 12 graduates from Hague High School are leaving competitive football behind in order to pursue post-secondary academic studies this fall.

But they’re not quite done yet. They suited up to represent their country in the Can-Am Bowl in Hague on Saturday, July 5.

When it comes to playing sixman high-school football at its highest level, nothing beats this international classic matchup, which pits the best players in Canada against the top players in the United States.

“These are the glory days, for sure,” said Luke Guenter. “It’s a great way to finish up our playing careers.”

Both Friesen and Guenter were leaders for the Hague Panthers on the field during the team’s successful 2014 season.

Both played in the North-South Senior Bowl in May, and both

this group. The biggest thing is we played with a lot of heart and I couldn’t be more proud of these guys.”

Six-man football is perfect for the multitalented athlete and that was best exemplified by play of USA’s Sterling Baker. The 2014 Wyoming State champion in the 110 metre hurdles dominated the game. He received the USA award for best defensive player for his work at middle linebacker. He easily could have also received awards for offensive and special teams player as he is a great kicker and contributed TDs on offence and special teams.

On his experience in participating in the Can-Am Bowl he shared, “It’s been a blast. Love the weather, the people have been nice, the food is great. On taking part in the Can-Am experience he added, “It’s broadened my horizons so much more, it has been fun.”

There were many positive comments from visitors to Hague for the Can-Am event.

Kirby had high praise for the many people in the community that came together to help in hosting the event.

“We did Canada proud.

Hague made Canada look good.”

were picked to represent their country in the Can-Am Bowl.

But the best part is playing their last six-man football game in front of their hometown fans.

“It’s a tremendous honour to play with all these great guys,” said Adam Friesen in an interview a few days before the game. “I’m a little nervous, but I think once I get on the field it’ll be pretty much like any other football game. I’m pretty familiar with the field, anyway.”

Both Friesen and Guenter were star two-way players with the Panthers, but they’ll both be plugged into the defensive corps as corner backs on the Canadian team for the big game.

Guenter is enrolled in the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Kinesiology this fall.

“I’m going to focus on my studies,” he said. “I decided I would be too busy to try and play football as well. It takes a lot of commitment.”

Friesen is also devoting next year to his studies when he enrolls in Briercrest Bible College, but he’s also going to be playing for the college hockey team.

Friesen played centre for the

Hague Royals Midget team last season and says football and hockey are both at the top of his list when it comes to sports.

HOMETOWN COACHES

Guenter and Friesen aren’t the only guys with a Hague connection in the game. Head Coach of the Canadian team is Clay Kirby, principal of Hague High School and coach of the Panthers.

Kirby bolstered his coaching staff by bringing in two all-star alumni players: brothers Tyler and Shane Dueck. Both brothers played for the Panthers in high school and went on to play junior and university football.

Tyler Dueck said it’s an honour to be invited to coach.

“It’s nice to be back in our hometown and work with these high-level athletes,” he said, noting that Adam Friesen is their cousin.

“We have a lot of memories in this town and on this field,” added Shane Dueck. “Also a lot of good memories from the Can-Am game. That was where I met a lot of the guys I played with for seven or eight years af-

ter that. We became very close friends. Some of them were even in my wedding party. So yeah, you make good friendships from something like this.”

Tyler Dueck said the main goal for coaches is to get the players to learn and implement the “system” and gel as a team.

“You only have a few practices, and it’s just a matter of getting them to buy into the game plan,” he said.

Shane Dueck said for many of the players, it’s the last time they’ll strap on the pads in a competitive game situation, and he says it’s a matter of making the most of their opportunity.

“Not too many guys get this chance,” he said. “It’s a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. Especially if you can play in front of your hometown crowd.”

Another local player making the Canadian squad is Kirk Simonsen of Hanley. Simonsen was selected to play centre and tight end on the Canadians’ offensive line. He’s likewise exCONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Valkyries dominate in WWCFL championship

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The Saskatoon Valkyries capped off their amazing season with a 53-0 win over the Lethbridge Steel in the WWCFL championship game played at Griffith’s Stadium on Saturday, July 6.

The outcome of the game was never in doubt as the Valkyries scored on a special teams punt return, an interception return, and a balanced offence attack with multiple rushing and passing TDs and great kicking.

The defence battled to a

shutout despite the Steel having the ball in the Valkyries end on several occasions. Post game defensive lineman Jaime Lammerding, talked about one of the teams mottos being “bend but don’t break”.

“We had some tough ones but people held their own and stopped them.” She added,“People were really on in their positions, and in tackling” QB Candace Bloomquist earned Saskatoon MVP honours for her performance of completing 21 of 30 passes for over 350 yards and three TDs.

On the Valkyries winning their fourth WWCFL title in a row, running back Julie David shared the key element.

She said, “It is really a team effort and we all play for each other and that is a key part of our success.”

The victory was the culmination of a season that saw the team outscore their opponents 339-28 in regular season and playoff games. With their talented players and great coaching the Valkyries can look to next year with the slogan ‘Drive for Five’ being a good motivation.

USA wins Can-Am Bowl cited to be chosen for the team, and said having the game close to home is a bonus.

“We’ll probably have quite a few fans from Hanley out to watch the game,” he said.

Simonsen said it’s a great way to end his high school football career, but he’s not giving up competitive football. He’s moving on to the Saskatoon Hilltops junior football club in the fall.

“I made the team,” he said. “I’m slated to play right tackle on the

offensive line. It’ll be a big step up, both in terms of size and speed, but also moving up to the 12-man game after playing 6-man. Plus the coach, Tom Sargent, is a pretty intense guy to play for, but I’m really looking forward to it.”

Simonsen’s teammate from Hanley, Kody Rowlett, was chosen for the Canadian team but wasn’t able to play because he tore his rotator cuff a week before the big game.

Record crop, few claims boost provincial finances Saskatchewan finished the 2013-14 fiscal year with a $589 million surplus in its Summary Financial Statements (SFS), according to the province’s year-end financial results released today in Volume 1 of the 2013-14 Public Accounts. The summary surplus was $439 million higher than the $150 million forecast in the 201314 Budget.

“The higher surplus is largely attributable to the insurance sector where investment returns were greater than expected and agricultural claims were lower than budgeted due to record crop production in 2013,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said. “While this is very good news, it is important to remember these were unusual circumstances and we can’t count on these kinds of financial windfalls every year.”

Total revenue was $14.42 billion, up $239 million or 1.7 per cent from budget. The increase is largely due to higher than expected investment income experi-

enced by the Workers’ Compensation Board and Saskatchewan Auto Fund as well as higher than budgeted federal transfers and other own-source revenue.

Total expense was $13.83 billion in 2013-14, $200 million lower than budget. Much of the decrease is attributable to record crop production which resulted in considerably lower claims made for AgriStability and Crop Insurance programs.

According to the Acting Provincial Auditor’s report, the financial statements fairly present the financial position of the Government of Saskatchewan and the results of its operations, in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

“Despite volatility in oil and potash, 2013-14 was another good year for Saskatchewan,” Krawetz said. “We will continue to manage the province’s finances carefully and keep Saskatchewan on the path of steady growth in 201415.”

PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 intends to amend a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 9/94 known as the Rural Municipality of Corman Park Zoning Bylaw.

INTENT The proposed bylaw No. 26/14 will provide for textual amendments: a) to add a definition for a Basic Development Review (BDR) and the components of a BDR in the Zoning Bylaw. The BDR will assist Council in assessing single severance residential subdivision and rezoning proposals by providing information on how they will be serviced, hazard lands, infrastructure requirements and adjacent land uses; and b) to add an Intensive Livestock Operation (ILO) subsection into Section 4 Standards for Development that outlines the information required to be submitted by an operator at the time of application for an ILO that will be beneficial for the R.M. to consider.

Bylaw 26/14 revises and updates Bylaw 23/13 which was repealed by R.M. Council on May 20, 2014.

AFFECTED LANDS The affected lands are all lands contained within the Municipality, with the exception of the area included in the Corman Park – Saskatoon Planning District.

PUBLIC INSPECTION Any person may inspect the proposed Bylaw at the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344 Office at 111 Pinehouse Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up to 5:00 p.m. until Friday, July 18, 2014. Copies of draft Bylaw No. 26/14 are also available on the R.M. website www.rmcormanpark.ca.

PUBLIC HEARING Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 21, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. in the R.M. Council Chambers at the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344 Office to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed Bylaw. All written comments received by 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 15, 2014, will be forwarded to Council.

Issued June 17, 2014 at the City of Saskatoon, in the Province of Saskatchewan.

SK wages hit all-time high 134 Primrose Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan’s strong economy continues to drive wage growth. According to Statistics Canada, average weekly earnings including overtime, were $975.87 in April 2014, the highest on record (seasonally adjusted) and the third highest among the provinces.

“We reached a milestone in April – hitting an all-time high for wages,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “One of the more important ben-

efits of having a strong economy is the increase in wages for working people.”

On a year-over-year basis, wages were up 4.3 per cent ($40.66), the fourth highest percentage increase (tied with Alberta) among the provinces. On a national basis, wages were up 3.3 per cent over the same period.

Comparing April 2013 with April 2014, wages were up 23.7 per cent in arts, entertain-

Provinces posts record retail sales

Saskatchewan shoppers continue to show confidence in the economy, according to new retail sales figures for April 2014. Statistics Canada reported today that retail sales totalled $1.6 billion, a record for the month of April.

“Consumers recognize the Saskatchewan economy is on

solid footing which raises confidence and increases household spending,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “The rise in retail sales is good for the province and contributes to our economic growth.”

There was a 6.4 per cent increase over last year’s retail sales, which marked the third

best increase among Canadian provinces. Nationally, retail sales were up 5.1 per cent.

“Retail sales are one indicator the economic experts watch when rating growth,” Boyd said. “Today’s report is good news – and shows Canada’s western provinces are leading the nation.”

Co-op opens new grocery store at Legends Plaza

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The cash registers started ringing up sales shortly after the doors opened at the new Warman Co-op grocery store on Friday, July 4.

Customers were waiting in line prior 10 a.m, when the 25,000-square foot supermarket opened, and the parking lot at the Legends Plaza was full for most of the day.

“It’s an exciting day for the Co-op, and for the people of Warman and area as well,” said Harley McClughan, Operations Manager for the Saskatoon Co-op and a resident of Warman. In an interview in the store on opening day, McClughan said the new store fills a need for the community.

“We weren’t as well represented as we should be in the grocery business in this community, so it was time to see what we could do,” said McClughan. “We’re going to be following the same flyer program for this store as we do for the stores in Saskatoon, so all the sales that people are used to seeing will be there, and the regular pricing will be followed here in Warman

as well.”

McClughan described the July 4 opening as the “soft opening” and said the facility will have a special grand opening later this summer.

“We’ll have a flyer out with store-specific specials with attractive pricing,” he said.

McClughan said the store will be adding staff as sales volume builds. Most of the employees were relocated from a Saskatoon location that recently closed, but he noted there were some local people hired recently, and other employees from the Warman Co-op gas bar had moved over to the grocery store.

McClughan said the emphasis at the store is on “freshness,” with an in-store delicatessen, meat cut on site, and fresh produce.

“Of course, we have the grocery and frozen food complement to go along with that, and some home meal replacement products for people on the go,” he added.

The store opened on schedule, but McClughan noted there are still some last-minute construction details that are still being completed.

New car sales hit record high The Canadian retail automotive market posted a new monthly sales record in May, with more than 195,000 new cars and trucks sold across Canada. This represents the best sales month in the history of the Canadian new vehicle market.

“This is great news for our dealer network, obviously, but also for the economy as a whole and for Canadian consumers,” said Michael Hatch, Chief Economist of the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA). “Consumers are responding to an optimistic and rebounding industry, with high levels of product affordability and the best product choice we’ve ever seen. New car prices have mostly defied regular inflationary pressures in the past decade and we’re seeing that manifested in record levels of demand.”

The industry has gone through many changes and challenges since the recession of 2009 and the restructuring of much of the North American auto industry that came in its wake.
