BALES BURN UP

Firefighters from Clavet and Allan moved quickly to control a fire on a farm about a mile south of the Prairie Steel plant near Clavet on Monday afternoon, July 14. The blaze began about 2:00 when a baling machine overheated due to a faulty bearing. The fire quickly spread through

the stubble and ignited a number of round bales in the field. At one point, several farm buildings were threatened, but firefighters managed to bring it under control before there was any serious damage to any structures. No one was injured in the incident. The fact that there was very little wind helped firefighters in their efforts to extinguish the blaze.

Martensville woman Man charged after BB gun incident near Saskatoon reported missing Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing woman from Martensville. On July 8, 2014 the Warman/ Martensville RCMP received a complaint of a 44-year-old missing person from Martensville. Sheri Rode was last seen by her family on June 9, when she left her home in Martensville to register a red 1996 Dodge Caravan. She never returned. Sheri Rode was reportedly seen driving the Caravan with two male occupants on July

5 in Saskatoon, however, her current whereabouts is still unknown. Sheri Rode is deaf/ mute, and described as 5’2” with brown hair and green eyes. Police are currently obtaining a current photograph of Sheri and the Dodge Caravan. The RCMP are asking anyone with knowledge of the whereabouts of Sheri Rode to contact the Warman/Martensville RCMP Detachment at (306) 975-1610 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

In the early morning hours of June 19 a blue Chevrolet Silverado truck which was stolen from Langham area was abandoned by the Middle Lake School. That same morning a white Chevrolet truck was stolen from a residence in Middle Lake and was recovered the same day in Saskatoon in the

area of Avenue J. If you have information about this or any other crime, please contact your nearest police service or RCMP, or call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. If your information leads to an arrest or a case being cleared, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

A 38-year-old man has been charged with Mischief Under $5,000 after he was observed with what appeared to be a rifle last week. Construction crews working near Fleury Road and Range Road 3045 near the Evergreen/Willowgrove area, reported seeing a man sitting in bushes and looking through the scope of what appeared to

be a rifle. As a precaution, officers instructed the crews to leave the area and members of the Tactical Support Unit (formerly ERT) attended the scene in the Armoured Rescue Vehicle. The man was taken into custody without incident and a BB gun was recovered at the scene. No one was injured during this incident.

Highway 11 collision latest in string of crashes

Program could help emergency services be more efficient By JAMES TARRANT

By TERRY PUGH

james@ccgazette.ca

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A two-vehicle collision on Highway 11 at the north entrance to Warman on Wednesday, July 9 could have been a lot worse, according to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin. The collision occurred at about 10:25 p.m. when a north-bound Ford minivan struck an east-bound Chevrolet sedan that was crossing the divided highway. The minivan ended up in the east ditch, stopping just short of a shallow slough. Warman RCMP, Warman Fire Department, and MD Ambulance paramedics responded to the incident. Two occupants of the minivan, a man and woman in their 60s from Prince Albert, were examined at the scene by medical personnel. Their injuries were minor. A 19-year-old man from Warman who was driving the Chevrolet was not injured in the crash. He is charged with failing to yield at an intersection. The collision is just the latest in a string of crashes at the intersection on Highway 11. Although a number of improvements have been made within the past year at the north entrance to Warman to enhance safety, civic officials in Warman say the long-term solution is an overpass. Civic leaders in Martensville have also been calling for an overpass at Martensville’s main entrance from Highway 12. Recently, the province lowered the speed limit on Highway 12 at Martensville’s south and main entrances to 90 kilometers per hour in an effort to reduce the frequency and seriousness of collisions at those intersections. Traffic volumes on Highway 11 to Warman, Highway 12 to Martensville, and Highway 16 to the Dalmeny grid, have increased exponentially over the past decade as

Firefighters work to free occupants of a Chevrolet minivan involved in a collision Wednesday, July 9 communities north of Saskatoon have grown. Between 2008 and 2012, there were a total of 154 collisions on Highway 11 between Saskatoon and Warman, including six fatal collisions. A total of seven people died in those collisions, and 69 people sustained serious injuries, according to statistics provided by SGI. SGI says preliminary data for 2013 indicates there were 53 collisions that year, with 18 injuries. The number of collisions on Highway 12 between Saskatoon and Hepburn between 2008 and 2012 totalled 255, according to SGI, with 133 people injured and three people killed in those collisions. Preliminary SGI data states there were 53 collisions along that stretch of Highway 12 in 2013, with 21 injuries and one fatality. The provincial government has been working with the municipalities in the region to determine the possible location of future overpasses. But so far no commitment has been made on whether overpasses will be built or where they may be located.

It is important for emergency services to be accountable and the Salamander Program can help in that process, according to Bill McCombs. McCombs is the President and CEO of Trans-Care Rescue in Langham and is also the Langham Fire Chief. Over many years fighting fires and being immersed in a variety of emergency situations the ability to know what emergency personnel are available, their level of training, who has equipment and the ability to keep that information constantly updated is a challenge, said McCombs. On June 18 McCombs sent out a press release to invite industry, municipalities, and emergency officials together to attend a presentation on the Salamander Program. In the release McCombs stated that Salamander is designed to simplify any emergency situation by providing rapid identification, accountability, incident management tracking, and report management of all responders, equipment, patients, evacuees and civilians that may be involved at any level. It will also allow individual groups the capability to use the system for tracking training records, inventory of equipment, as well as the tracking of manpower and equipment on scene including documenting rates according to time involved. McCombs said the Salamander program is for all sizes of agencies and is designed to grow with communities as they expand and grow from the basic command board level to computer assisted system. The rapid identification is made possible through a bar code system where each individual is provided a number, which will list a biography of the individuals’ training, years of experience and where they are located. “Each one of our departments will have a ring binder with the bar codes for each person,” said McCombs. “Langham would have a barcode number in the 300s, Dalmeny would be 200, CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Salamander a vital information tool Warman 100 and Martensville is 400.” McCombs explained that a commander could use a barcode reader on an iPhone, android phone, or a laptop and know who the individuals are, their credentials and what emergency system they would be suited. It is a program that has many components, said McCombs. If a local individual has equipment such as a water truck that can be used to assist a fire department all the individual would need is a drivers licence and an identification card could be printed out, said McCombs. He said the use of an individual’s equipment can also be tracked, which is especially important if the individual is renting the use of the equipment to a fire department,” McCombs said other program components could be used for keeping track of residents who were forced to evacuate their homes in an emergency or for tracking the time of volunteers used in an emergency. He used the example of a recent tornado in Nebraska where local emergency and Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) teams logged 17,000 volunteer hours. McCombs said FEMA pays volunteers $17.31 an hour so the program helps to provide an accurate monetary amount for the volunteer hours worked, which in this case was $295,000.

The costs for emergencies is often something people don’t think about, said McCombs. After the presentation with officials at Warman Fire department headquarters on June 30, McCombs said people were receptive to the program, but he was careful not to overwhelm people. “It is a lot of information to present to people if they are not geared into this or had experience with emergencies before,” said McCombs. “A lot of people figure that you have an incident, people show up and things happen but they don’t realize the logistics that go into it and how in-depth it is.” Already there are 10 US States that have adopted the Salamander Program for their fire, police and emergencies. The program is relatively new to Canada but it has been adopted by various emergency services in Ontario and British Columbia. McCombs said he would have to have more meetings with municipalities, industry leaders and emergency officials to look at the various components of the program and how they would benefit emergency needs in Saskatoon and rural areas. McCombs is very excited about the program. “I strongly believe that the Salamander Program would bring Incident Command Systems (ICS) together, both for North Corman Park and surrounding communities, allowing everyone to share and communicate at any incident big or small,” said McCombs.

Temporary Foreign Workers aren’t the problem: Employment Insurance is By KEVIN LACEY

Atantic Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

When Employment Minister Jason Kenney announced changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) he said migrant workers should be the last resort for businesses when hiring. Not the first, second or even third option, but the last. Mr. Kenney further said employers that face a shortage of workers should do more to hire unemployed Canadians. In response, some companies have denounced the minister’s reforms as being anti-business and will be harmed because of a lack of available Canadian workers. But both government and businesses are skirting the real problem. Let’s clarify straight away what the debate surrounding the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is really about. This isn’t about Canada not having enough workers – not when 1.3 million citizens are unemployed. It is about Employment Insurance paying too many people not to work. The EI system is a mess and the federal government has made only weak-kneed efforts to reform it. So weak that a report from the Council of Atlantic Premiers (strong opponents of any change), says the last major set of reforms failed to have any impact that they could measure, citing the biggest problem was lack of consultation. Most businesses fuming over the TFWP changes haven’t called for needed EI reforms. Until now it’s been easier to import workers from Romania, Vietnam and the Philippines than wade into a messy debate. EI advocates claim there are no work opportunities. But, of course, we know that is not true. There are still thousands of temporary foreign workers filling jobs people on EI won’t do. Ganong Brothers Ltd, a fourth generation family-owned chocolate business in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, once employed as many as 40 foreign workers. This year, it is reportedly about 25. Ganong Brothers is not the only company bringing foreign workers into rural Atlantic Canada. In May, the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, an independent think tank based in Halifax, released a report showing that in 2012 the total number of temporary foreign workers was 10,900 in Atlantic Canada. That’s three times as many as in 2005. But this number begs an important question. Why are we bringing in thousands of foreign workers to provinces with high unemployment rates and high rates of repeat EI usage? Or put another way, why were 25 foreign workers getting jobs at Ganong when there are about 30,000 New Brunswickers collecting EI at any given month? It doesn’t make any sense. Canadian businesses know EI has perverted the labour market but haven’t wanted to discuss it. They now have an economic incentive to do so. Instead of trying to save the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, businesses should offer solutions on how best to fix EI. That would nicely align their interests with the interests of Canadian workers.

Floods show something is changing The problem with having a reasonable discussion about the strange happenings around us is it invariably gets bogged down in a fight over the words we use to describe it. You know the words that bog down the conversation: Global Warming. Climate change. Or as some insist, good, old-fashion weather that tends to come and ago. But even if you are the latter camp convinced what is happening is rather natural, the weather events of the last four years seem to be telling us something has changed from the days of bone-dry summers. Anyone remember then Progressive Conservative premier Grant Devine telling federal environmentalists a quarter century ago that the Moose Mountain Creek could be stopped with a suitcase? Or do you recall then-NDP MLA Dwain Lingenfelter telling us he’d be able to walk across the Rafferty Dam reservoir because it would never fill. Well, it was based on the common Saskatchewan wisdom that after spring runoff comes summer drought. But that’s clearly not happening in recent years. Ask the people of Melville or Yorkton or Moosomin or Wolseley or any of the dozens of communities declaring a state of emergency. Ask the residents of Yorkton, Maple Creek, Weyburn, Estevan or Roche Percee after the 2010 and 2011 flooding. For that matter, ask the people in bigger prairie cities like Calgary, Winnipeg or Brandon and they will tell you that flooding in early July is surely something different. Or better yet, ask a scientist who has been studying matters. Hydrologist John Pomeroy, Canadian Research Chair for Water Resources and Climate Change at the University of Saskatchewan, doesn’t exactly seem like some wild-eyed environmentalist insisting that the sky is falling. But his exten-

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

sive study of the drainage basin for Smith Creek that flows near Langenburg is telling him something has to change. “We have to stop what we are doing,” Pomeroy said in a recent interview. “Things are happening and they are happening much faster than anyone imagined.” One of “things happening” is the increased frequency of three-day rain events like the most recent one in eastern Saskatchewan. “There were farms (last week) getting flooded that have never been flooded since they were homesteaded,” he said. Interesting, Pomeroy said

there has been no increase in one-day rain storms in the last century, but what has change is multiple-day rain events. And he points to studies at Yale University saying it’s because a warmer arctic is causing the jet streams to go further south and trap in weather systems from the southern U.S. that linger for days and dump great amounts of rain on us. Global warming? Maybe not here, but the same jet streams causing our recent longer, colder winters are responsible for these rains; all part of the complex notion of climate change, Pomeroy said. “It’s really hard to take a single event and attribute it to climate change,” he said. “But this (flood) screams of climate change.” However, Pomeroy is the first to acknowledge a lot of other circumstances have come into play.

The first and foremost is our flat topography decided by melting glaciers 10,000 to 30,000 years ago. More than 85 per cent of our runoff does not make it to rivers, instead soaking in the ground or draining in the sloughs. But with agricultural encroachment, we have fewer sloughs than we used to, Pomeroy said. In the Smith Creek basin there are now less than half the wetlands (43 square kilometres) than there was in 1958 (98 square kilometres). Add this human contribution that has reduced our natural water runoff to the ancient problems of our topography and the arguably newfound problems of the more violent rain events and we are left with a big problem. And no matter what name you use for it, it’s a problem we obviously have to start taking seriously.

Social media is becoming the new drama in our lives If it wasn’t for family reasons I probably would have deleted my Facebook account years ago. I only joined because I heard that it was a good way to keep in touch with friends and family back home on ‘The Rock.’ What I have noticed more and more is that social media is fast becoming a complaint forum for people who really have nothing to do with their time. There could be a multitude of reasons why people use social media to complain. It could be for attention, shock value or for lack of a social life. Childishness and drama is certainly the dark side of social media and I experienced this

on Facebook recently. It wasn’t the first time that it happened there, but this latest incident irked me because the insults were accusatory in nature. My girlfriend and I recently had to give away our Golden Retriever puppy because it needed behavioural training, which I could not afford. I should explain that the puppy in question was almost 60 lbs and what I didn’t know un-

til after we gave him up was that Golden Retrievers stay in their puppy stage for a period of three years. This meant the chewing on objects, and chasing after people and cats as soon as we opened the door probably was going to last for awhile. Yes, we used a leash, but if a dog wants to get at someone or something they will. They still have predatory instinct. We put up with our dog’s behavour for months, but the last straw came for us when our dog nearly knocked down an elderly lady walking on the sidewalk in front of our house. My choices were to get rid of the dog or face a pending lawsuit if someone is hurt.

Our dog was also starting to irritate neighbours and we didn’t want to be the house on the street where people had to avoid because of our crazy dog. We tried training our dog. We bought a crate, muzzle and shock collar, but those methods didn’t seem to work. The problem was when we posted these items on a local buy and sell Facebook group we were immediately inundated with insults from people who didn’t agree with the use of shock collars for dog training. Comments ranged from people telling us that shock collars were torture and that we were not responsible dog owners for using one on our dog.

That is where I had to draw the line. The truth is shock training has been used since the 1960s to train hunting dogs, and modern versions today are used for behavioral modification, obedience training and pet containment as well as military police and service training. To explain shock training there are different devices that emit different levels of shock. Ours was a remote trainer and shock collar, which emitted a shock of only 5 micro joules. A bark collar emits a shock of 300 micro joules. When you compare the levels of shock emitted by other devices such as an AED, which is usually around 360 joules or

an a tazer, which could emit a shock of 50,000 volts when it makes contact with human skin, the shock amounts are not comparable. I know AEDs and Tazers are not used on animals, but shock levels have to be put into perspective to explain the need for shock amounts and their intended use. Five micro joules is not going to give dogs cardiac fibrillation as PETA suggests on their website. To truly understand a topic you really have to become educated. The unfortunate thing is when it comes to social media comments and status messages we can’t always count on people conducting proper research before posting nonsense.

Work on the new Highway 305 is progressing at a steady pace thanks to a recent spell of relatively dry weather. The provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure says the $22.2 million project is on schedule and slated to be completed later this summer. Work commenced for this season on May 20. The new highway, which will connect Highway 11 north of Warman to the existing intersection with Highway 12 north of Martensville, follows a new route with fewer curves, and will be built to a higher standard that is able to handle heavier volumes of traffic than the existing Highway 305. The project includes grading and paving approximately 18 kilometers of roadway in total, including a section of Range Road 3053 in Martensville, as well as improvements to the existing Highway 305 intersection with Highway 12. Culverts were installed earlier this spring on the new roadbed to allow drainage to occur. Last year, the construction work was severely hampered by wet conditions as floodwaters inundated much of the area for the new roadbed. Range Road 3053, also known as 10th Avenue in Martensville, will become a major north-south traffic corridor for the new Lake Vista neighbourhood being developed by North Ridge Developments. The project also includes a

A new culvert for the new Highway 305 will allow water to flow unimpeded new intersection with Highway 11, which will be built just north of the Legends Golf Club. The new Highway 305 will run along the northern boundary of Warman and intersect with Centennial Boulevard. The land within Warman’s city limits at that corner is zoned for commercial development, and will be the site of a major big box store with satellite retail stores. The developer of the commercial centre is currently in discussions with major retail chains, but no details are being released at this time.

OTHER AREA PROJECTS

Three other major projects are also slated to be completed later this summer or fall. The Dalmeny Access Road near Highway 16 is receiving finishing touches. The $20.3 million project includes about 13.5 kilometers of road widening and surfacing on Dalmeny access between Dalmeny and 2.3 kilometers

south of the junction of Highway 16. Work is also continuing this summer on replacing the Highway 12 Petrofka Bridge over the North Saskatchewan River north of Hepburn. The project, estimated to cost about $870,000, involves rehabilitation of the bridge, including concrete repairs, joint and bearing replacement. Traffic on the bridge has been reduced to one lane. Over-width traffic will be restricted. The project will take all summer and is expected to be completed by the fall. Upgrading of Highway 27 near Vonda is continuing this summer. The $5.4 million project consists of grading of 15 kilometers from the Prud’homme access road to near the west Vonda access road. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure says traffic should be prepared to slow down and may be reduced to one lane. The ministry also warns of rough road conditions and the potential for blowing dust.

Road work continues on highways across province despite flooding Even as the province responds to the flooding situation, highway construction continues and new work zones are popping up. “Crews are working tirelessly to restore access to flood-isolated communities and ensure our roadways are passable,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “The regular work of maintaining and rehabilitating our transportation system remains un-

Whether it’s a flood-related repair or planned construction work, remember to always slow to 60 km/hr when passing through a work zone.” New or resuming projects underway in the province this week include a $13.8 million rebuild of Highway 22 between Southey and Earl Grey, $16.4 million in repaving on Highway 43 between Highway 2 and Gravelbourg, and two bridge replacements on

Charges laid following back-to-back collisions By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Two men are facing charges after two separate, but related, collisions on Friday, July 11. The first incident occurred about 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of First Avenue South and Second Street South in Martensville. The driver of a silver Ford half-ton which collided with a parked SUV was taken into custody by Warman-Martensville RCMP officers. According to Constable Bill Rowley of the RCMP, the driver was exhibiting signs of impairment, although it was not apparent whether the impairment was a result of drugs or alcohol. Rowley said the truck was speeding and being driven in a dangerous manner in a quiet residential neighbourhood, adding it was fortunate no pedestrians were injured. “The silver pickup truck was going northbound on First Avenue South and attempted to make a turn westbound onto Second Street South at a high rate of speed,” said Rowley. “It ended up striking a black SUV that was parked facing eastbound on the south side of the road. The force of the impact spun the SUV around and ended up sending it over to the north curb, all the way over to the other side of the street.” Rowley said the RCMP is investigating whether the driver of the truck, who showed vis-

ible bruising and cuts to his head, was impaired at the time of the collision. “He says he’s not injured and is refusing medical treatment, which leads us to believe he may be impaired,” said Rowley. “We’re doing further testing.” Charges will definitely be laid, he added. “If it’s not an impaired then we’ll be looking at something under the Traffic Safety Act. This is a residential neighbourhood. There’s a playground across the street and it’s near the centre of town where there’s a lot of pedestrian traffic. It’s very lucky that no one was hit.” Martensville Fire Department and MD Ambulance also responded to the call, when it appeared at one point the driver was in medical distress. However, the driver was conscious and refused medical treatment at the scene. He was taken in the RCMP patrol car to be tested for drugs and alcohol. A passenger in the truck was apparently not injured in the collision, and after initial questioning by police, was released.

HITS THE DITCH

But it wasn’t long until the man who was set free was back in hot water. After getting in his car to drive to Saskatoon, the man lost control of his southbound vehicle on Highway 12 and skidded into the me-

dian ditch separating the north and southbound lanes. The incident occurred about 1:00 p.m. near the Ritchie Brothers Auction site on Highway 12 just north of Saskatoon. Martensville Fire Department, MD Ambulance and Warman-Martensville RCMP all responded to the second call. Captain Ryan Cross of the Martensville Fire Department confirmed the driver of the car that hit the ditch was the same

man who had been a passenger in the truck in the earlier collision. “It’s definitely the same guy,” said Cross. Warman RCMP Sgt. Warren Gherasim confirmed both drivers will be facing charges, but the investigation is still ongoing. He added that the police detachment was busy dealing with a string of calls on Friday afternoon. “Friday with a full moon,” he said. “It’s to be expected.”

The driver of a Ford half-ton (below) involved in a collision in Martensville and the driver of a Chrysler sedan (above) in the ditch along Highway 12 are both facing charges after two separate, but related incidents on Friday, July 11

Public meeting aims to get Neighbourhood Watch group started in Warman By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Organizers of a meeting set for Wednesday, July 23 are hoping it leads to the establishment of a Neighbourhood Watch group in the City of Warman. The meeting takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the former library building, 101 Klassen Street, in Warman. “Warman definitely needs a Neighbourhood Watch program,” said Marshall Seed, one of the organizers of the initiative. “Lately there’s been a rash of ‘crimes of opportunity’ where stuff has been stolen from vehicles or bikes stolen from yards, and that sort of thing. “But I’m a big believer in being pro-active rather than re-

active,” he continued. “If you want to make things better, then step up to the plate instead of just sitting back and complaining.” Seed said Neighbourhood Watch is not a police-run or city council-run program. “It’s totally arms-length, but it’s the citizens’ voice and a way of increasing two-way communication with police,” said Seed. He noted the most successful Neighbourhood Watch program in North America is in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and said there are many good examples across the country that can be emulated. “It’s a way of improving quality of life and ensuring overall safety of all residents,” he said. Seed said the purpose of the meeting on July 23 is to mea-

sure the level of community interest in establishing a community-based, democratically-run group. He added that if the group is formally established, it will be up to the people involved to determine how active it will be and what initiatives it puts in place. “It has to be democratic,” he said. “If people decide it’s a go, which I hope they will, then we’ll get it started. The biggest thing I want to stress is that this is not Marshall Seed’s neighbourhood watch, it’s Warman Neighbourhood Watch. It should be run by a committee, and the leadership should rotate at least once a year. It has to be democratic.” Seed, who moved to Warman from Saskatoon three and a half years ago, brought up the

idea of establishing a Neighbourhood Watch program at the Warman ratepayers’ meeting earlier this year. After the meeting, he and fellow Warman resident Mark Stiglitz began discussions with Warman City Council and the Warman RCMP detachment to get the ball rolling. Full support for the initiative was received from the RCMP and council’s Protective Services Committee. “It’s snowballing,” said Seed in an interview on Monday, July 14. “We have a Facebook page with 80 members, and I think that shows there’s quite a bit of support. Mind you, we’ll see how many people come to the meeting. I’m the first to admit there’s a big difference between clicking ‘Like’ on Facebook and actually showing up

and volunteering.” Seed said Neighbourhood Watch is simply a way of citizens doing their part to keep their community safe by reporting suspicious activity and keeping an eye out for one another’s safety. “It’s not a vigilante group,” he said. “It’s not about pitchforks and torches. It’s not like there’s an abundance of crime here, but there are incidents that do happen. The RCMP is doing a great job with the resources they have available, but the reality is they can’t patrol every street in Warman all the time.”

big bike comes to warman Anytime Fitness owner Orlando Hamm steps aboard the Big Bike just prior to departure from the Legends Centre in Warman on Thursday evening, July 10. The bike and its occupants, some wielding water guns for added fun, toured the city for 30 minutes to promote the cause. The Heart and Stroke Foundation Big Bike is sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and can accommodate 29 riders. Each participant commits

Hilda’s Yard an entertaining comedy Station Arts Centre production receives standing ovation By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

No family is perfect. Just ask Sam and Hilda Fluck, a nice, respectable working-class couple who live in a nice, respectable working-class neighbourhood in Toronto during the nice, respectable decade of the 1950s. Sam is a hard worker who’s had the same boring job for more than three decades, and Hilda’s life is basically limited to her house and her back yard. Cheryl Jack and Bruce McKay bring the 50-something couple to life on the stage of the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern in the centre’s first production of the summer. Their strengths, quirks and frailties are all there for us to see and identify with. We know what it’s like to be in their shoes. For over thirty years, they’ve done their best to raise their two kids, Gary (played by Jaron Francis) and Janey (Angela Kemp), to grow up to be nice, respectable, contributing members of society. Thirty-three year-old Gary served in the army during the world war, but his reintegration back into civilian life has taken

11 years, and the only thing he seems to be good at is being unemployed. Twenty-eight yearold Janey has discovered, after only six months of marriage, that she doesn’t really care for her new husband and wants to become a career woman instead of a housewife. But underneath their mundane exteriors, they all long for something more. Gary sees himself as a hopeless romantic, while most other people see him as simply hopeless. Janey’s looking for adventure. Sam and Hilda are looking for freedom. Two other characters, Gary’s glamorous, happy-go-lucky, trombone-playing girlfriend Bobbi Jakes (Shannon Harasen), and a gangster named Beverly Woytowich (Matt Josdal) who is equal parts threatening and charming, and who has an above-average command of the English language, both play key roles in helping the family members realize their dreams aren’t as unattainable as they thought. Each actor has their moment in the spotlight where they show off their acting chops. The characters evolve through the course of the play into real people, thanks to the skill of the actors. The story takes place in the course of a single day in Hilda’s Yard. A simple set consisting of a picket fence, clothesline and a

couple of old-style lawn chairs give just the right context for the dialogue. Under Stephen Heatley’s inspired direction, the actors take the audience along for a great ride. Playwright Norm Foster’s script is loaded with jokes, including some really good puns and one-liners: When Gary complains that his last name is the subject of ridicule, his father says sternly: “It’s a proud Swiss name. Your grandfather and his brother came over here and made a good living as acrobats. They were the famous ‘Flying Flucks!’ But like all good comedies, it works because it has scenes that are truly touching and bring genuine tears to your eyes. It’s a story about family. It’s also a story about how the right combination of romance and common sense can keep your life on track. And it also throws in a bit of whimsy at the end. Wouldn’t it be great if every family’s problems could be solved by good luck, or better yet, “a compassionate thug who can pull some strings?” Hilda’s Yard runs till July 27 at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern. Tickets are available by calling 306-232-5332 or by booking online at www.stationarts.com .

and now for my next trick... Allister Denton performs a juggling act while balanced atop a stepladder during a performance of Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities in Martensville on Friday, July 11. Denton is the man at the centre of a travelling troupe of entertainers that is performing across western Canada. The show consists of jokes, juggling, magic, and other surprises, and is tailored to both adults and kids. During the show, Denoton juggled everything from sponge balls to sharp machetes, and audience participation kept the show lively and entertaining.

From hiking and fishing to campfire cookouts and relaxing, everyone’s favourite week is underway. The Government of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed July 1319, 2014 as Saskatchewan Parks Week. “Our provincial parks capture the beauty and spirit o0f Saskatchewan, through the gorgeous scenery and exciting activities they have available,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “Sas-

katchewan offers an exceptional quality of life, and our parks are an important part of that.” Saskatchewan’s 35 provincial parks will be celebrating Parks Week with a variety of activities. Visitors to parks can experience archaeology, astronomy, canoeing, hiking, rope-making, tipi-building and more. This year is a particularly special year for a few provincial parks in Saskatchewan, as they are celebrating milestone anniversaries. Narrow Hills turns 80,

Lac La Ronge is 75 and Great Blue Heron will have its first anniversary as a provincial park. Cypress Hills is also celebrating 25 years as an interprovincial park. Saturday, July 19 has also been proclaimed as Canada’s Parks Day. Saskatchewan is proud to join other provinces, territories and the Canadian Parks Council in making this designation. This event, in its 25th year, focuses on connecting Canadians to nature.

Panthers ready for U14 western championship By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Warman PeeWee A Boys Panthers will be heading to the U14 Western Canadian Softball Championship in Lloydminster, August 1-4. The Panthers took home silver at the provincials in Prince Albert this past weekend and are aiming to win it all in Lloydminister, said Panthers head coach Kevin Kosmynka. “That was our goal at the beginning of the year. For the new guys on the team. I am very proud of how they advanced through the year,” said Kosmynka. “All of our pitchers are doing well, we’ve got no injuries right now and we’ve got a couple of weeks off so we will be ready.” The Panthers had a successful regular season, losing only one league game and one tournament game all year. At the provincials Prince Albert emerged as the Panthers’ achilles heel, shutting them out 9-0 in the opening game on Saturday. The Panthers fought back in their second game to defeat Delisle 15-9. When Delisle lost 10-3 to Prince Albert, the Panthers were forced to play Delisle again in the semi-final, which they accomplished with a 9-2 score in five innings, leading to a final showdown with Prince Albert, which they lost

4-2. Kosmynka said his team was not mentally prepared for the first game against Prince Albert. “We made some major errors with two out that cost us four runs. We didn’t hit well at all. I think we had two hits in the entire game,” said Kosmynka. In the final game Kosmynka said the Panthers played a more solid game despite some missed opportunities. “We had a ton of hits right to their players on Sunday. We had base runners on, but just couldn’t cash them at the right time. It was a really good game,” said Kosmynka. As the top two Saskatchewan teams for the U14 age division, Kosmynka said the Panthers will face rival Prince Albert and the top two silver and gold place teams from British Columbia, Manitoba and Alberta at the westerns. Kosmynka expects Saskatchewan teams to be the favorite teams to beat heading into the tournament. “We played a Manitoba U14 team two weekends back. We should do fairly well against them,” said Kosmynka. “Alberta hasn’t been to a tournament this year so we are unsure of what they are like. British Columbia is always be strong so there is definitely going to be some good competition there.”

Team Ontario captures Canada Cup By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Brandon McKimmon recovers a fumble. Inset: Garth Knittig on defensive line.

Team Ontario claimed the under-18 national football championship on Saturday, July 12 by downing Team Saskatchewan Green 27-19 in the Canada Cup final at Griffith’s Stadium in Saskatoon. Team Saskatchewan Green won the silver medal. One of two host Saskatchewan teams in the week-long showcase tournament, the Saskatchewan Green Samuel Jean team included running back Adam Lewis of Warman, linebacker Samuel Jean of Warman, and receiver Carter Dahl of Clavet. Lewis plays for Bishop Mahoney High School in Saskatoon while Jean is a member of the Walter Mur-

ray Marauders. Team Saskatchewan White, which took sixth place after a 17-10 loss to Manitoba in their final game, had another all-star roster that included defensive lineman Brandon McKimmon of Warman, defensive back Joel Seiferling of Warman and offensive lineman Jesse Enns of Warman, along with defensive lineman Garth Knittig of Delisle. Dan Houle, who grew up in Hague and played sixman high school football with the Adam Lewis Hague Panthers, was head coach of Team Saskatchewan White. Lyle Evanisky, head coach of the Martensville Royals football team, was one of the assistant coaches for Team Saskatchewan White.

Football Saskatchewan provided the opportunity for 80 young athletes from across the province to compete at the highest level as they fielded two teams. Other provinces involved were Quebec (the eventual bronze medal winner), Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia Carter Dahl and New Brunswick.

“If you build it, they will come” should be the motto for the Twin City Angels. This year the softball club made up of Warman, Martensville girls along with a sprinkling of girls from other towns surrounding Saskatoon left a positive impression on club president Jason Schmiedge . In January both minor ball clubs in Warman and Martensville signed an agreement to form the Twin City Angels softball club to increase enrollment for girls in both cities. This year Twin City Angles PeeWee A and B teams, who play in the Saskatoon Minor Softball League, finished second in their respective divisions. The Bantam Girls finished first and the Squirt A Girls took home a silver medal at a provincial tournament in Saskatoon, July 5-6. The PeeWee B team made it to the provincial semi-final with their tournament in Unity, July 5-6. Schmiedge said he is really happy with the Twin City Angels first season. “In the beginning people

wondered if it would be a one off thing,” said Schmiedge. “Parents are already looking towards next year and want to make it a full year program. That is something we are looking into.” Schmiedge said the club will send out a survey to players to see what they liked about this season and what they would like to change. Next season Schmiedge said

the club is hoping to develop a midget program, which was inconceivable a few years ago. If there was an uncontrollable obstacle that Schmiedge would like to change about this season it would be the rain, which ended league playoffs (for two straight years) and caused the league to condense the schedule. “We have struggled to get on the fields and it is the same

for everybody just to make the season successful and maybe have more practices,” said Schmiedge. “That is a big thing for the kids. Where we started late the City condensed the league where teams were having three games in a week, and weekend tournaments didn’t lend itself to practices to try to develop the kids more. We can built on our success for next year.”

Gurski could be the diamond in the rough for Team Canada By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Dalmeny pitcher Megan Gurski said she doesn’t know how much playing time she will get with Team Canada, but she is eager to learn from the best as the team prepares to head into the ISF XIV Women’s World Championship in the Netherlands, August 15-24. Gurski started her softball career with the Saskatoon Lazers until Bantam, suited up with the Saskatoon Midget Selects and then played Junior ball with the Southey Jr. 222’s.

This summer she was playing for the Saskatoon Tigers in the SASA’s Bob Stayner Division when she found out she made the 2014 Senior Women’s National team roster. “I was excited to be selected and have the opportunity to step out onto the field with the Canada jersey on,” said Gurski. “I will be mostly playing shortstop or second. Occasionally I might come in to pitch for a couple of innings. I think I am here more for experience and learning.” If Team Canada needs to depend on Gurski’s skill at any

time they will get a clutch power hitter who is also a very talented fielder, said Tony Cook, Jefferson College’s Women’s Softball Coach in Hillsboro, Missouri. Besides being a talented pitcher and fielder, Gurski is also a top student earning schlorships from three US schools including Southern Utah University, Jefferson College and the University of Evansville in Indiana. Cook said Gurski played for Jefferson College in 2013 and made a positive impression. “When Megan came here

we were looking for a power pitcher and that’s what we got. She broke every record we had here. She finished with a record of 28W-3L. She led the country with 278 strikeouts and the lowest ERA in the country with 0.54.” Cook added that Gurski helped Jefferson College win its regional title in 2013 and were just shy of heading to the World Series before Gurski injured her arm in an a elimination game. Gurski said she has pitched most of her life, but sees herself as more of a two-way play-

er who is comfortable playing shortstop or second base. Cook said her fielding skill will surprise a lot of people who are not familiar what that part of her game. “When she wasn’t pitching for us she played second base. In the batting lineup she was our number three hitter. She hit more pitches than I can ever remember of any of my players in the past because she hits from the left side and for her size she has tremendous power.” Gurski said making Team Canada has always been her

goal and she will continue to work hard to stay on the team. Cook said if she ever has dreams of playing professionally, the door will always be open for her south of the border. “When she came here she came to a team with 20 players already on it. She made friends with almost every one of them and immediately became a leader,” said Cook. “We have a professional women’s league in the States and if Megan pursues it I think she could play at the professional level in the United States.”

Saskatoon-area oat breeder hopes change in legislation boosts innovation Submitted by

PARTNERS IN INNOVATION www.partnersininnovation.ca

Jim Dyck is excited about oats. From his breeding operation and farm in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan he says, “It’s good to eat oats. It has such a value for human health and the future is amazing. Oats has a wide range of appeal that I don’t think we have explored.” Oats is a crop with smaller acreage that competes for research investment dollars with corn, soybeans, and canola. But independent breeder Dyck has big dreams for oats – like 200 bushels per acre oats, or oats that appeal to very large markets like China, and a vision for new marketing opportunities in cosmetics. Dyck’s company, Oat Advantage, is not only a much needed service to Canadian oat farmers but also an entrepreneurial opportunity. “Oats is not a main crop.

Oats research has been declining. So there is an opportunity here at this time to make something happen in a small crop that has been a little bit forgotten and on the fringes,” Dyck explains. Dyck started Oat Advantage in 2008, as a new business venture and a “creative outlet.” He works with partners like SeCan and the Prairie Oat Growers Association and enjoys his work improving genetics for western Canadian farmers who grow oats. This mission and the breeding operation behind it are sustained by his and his wife Laura-Lee’s, “blood sweat and tears.” “Laura-Lee and I are partners in the process and she is a a very accurate driver on the tractor at seeding,” says Dyck. But Dyck points out that it is a costly endeavour: “I have lots of ideas and there are lots of ideas in the oat breeding com-

munity that we can do but it does take funding. I have to dig deep to make this operation happen and I am on my seventh season now. I am existing in part on the hope that there will be a return on my investment in oats. Some of these changes with UPOV 91 will help make that happen and farmers will receive the benefits.” Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act, passed second reading before the House of Commons adjourned for the summer. The bill will update Plant Breeders’ Rights within the legislation, bringing it into compliance with the most recent international plant variety protection convention, UPOV 1991, which will help plant breeders like Jim Dyck conduct more research. Raising the dietary fiber content of oats for human consumption is just one achievement of ongoing breeding programs. But Dyck can envision more. To maximize the oat

advantage, he says the next wave of innovation needs to focus on agronomic strengths, improved physical grain quality, and making oats a more profitable and higher yielding crop for farmers. Dyck speaks with pride of his personal entrepreneurial journey, “It is a long process from the start of breeding to when a variety is released. Earning revenue on varieties and innovations that I develop is an important thing.” “If Plant Breeders’ Rights help me develop innovation that I can deliver to the oat community then it is something that will be of great value for me and also for the farmers that I work for.” And the future belongs to oats. “Oats is a small crop, but when dollars are returned to a breeder, big things can happen.” This article is brought to you by Partners in Innovation.

Brightenview’s Dundurn exhibition centre project still a go despite delays By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

There is a sign along the highway but so far there has been little activity for the development of the Dundurn International Exhibition Centre. Brightenview Development International Inc., is behind the centre, which is projected to create 1,000 jobs and house 350 businesses. The purpose of the project is to act as a showroom for Chinese companies selling building materials and home decor items. Retail companies such as Home Depot and Wal-Mart could take a look at the latest products and order them while regular shoppers would have the opportunity to buy items factory-direct. The shopping centre would cover 607,028 square meters of land, which is mostly RM of Dundurn property. The exhibition centre was announced in

the fall of 2012. Brightenview officials held a presentation for the project at the Dundurn Community Centre in March 2013 and on October 8, 2013 landscaping work for the project began. But construction was supposed to begin in March, 2014 which has not happened. Roger Y. Zhu, Brightenview’s director of business development, said the project is still moving forward. Zhu could not provide any detail on what obstacles are holding up the project or a date on when construction will begin. Doug Narraway, Mayor of Dundurn said he was speaking to Brightenview officials last week and was assured that the project is still a go. “One issue I have heard is this notion that (the project) is just to bring more immigrants over, which is not the case,” said Narraway. “When the federal government starting closing doors to us for temporary foreign workers that affects everyone, not just Ontario and Quebec. It is pretty far reaching. I am

sure that it has had a ripple effect here.” Narraway also said highway access to the project may also be an obstacle Brightenview may be dealing with. “One of the things discussed was to open up more access onto the highway like in Davidson where you can turn left to turn onto the highway but you have that lane to get up to speed to come back up to the highway speed,” said Narraway. “It is more for us to have better lane control because we are having too many accidents there. We want to get merge lanes organized for the north and south directions.” Fred Wilson, Reeve of the RM of Dundurn said he is confident the project will move forward. “Everybody has been wondering what they are doing. They put a date on it to start but it hasn’t worked out quite to that schedule,” said Wilson. “It is a pretty big project. There are a lot of things that need to fit together and they want to make sure they have ev-

erything in place before they start on the ground.” Jim George, president of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA), said he heard the same story when talking to Joe Zhoe Brightenview’s CEO and Executive Director a month ago. “My sense is that they have a very complex business model, the business model has many moving parts and they trying to get them moving all in sync. It takes time.” Narraway said he was told Brightenview officials have made a recent trip to China to talk to investors about the project. He added that if anyone has doubts about the project they only have to look at the River Landing project in Saskatoon. Wilson agreed. “That project has been on the go for many years now and is a little more complex project than what Brightenview wants to develop in Dundurn,” said Wilson.

Co-op partnership targets over one million pounds of local produce Over one million pounds of Saskatchewan produce are planned for Co-op food stores in the province this year, a 66 per cent increase from last year. “The success of our Grown at Home initiative last year proves our members and customers have an appetite for high-quality, fresh and local products,” said Ron Welke, Vice-President of Food at Fed-

erated Co-operatives Limited. “As a result, we’re expanding this initiative, making more Saskatchewan produce available and helping to grow the province’s horticulture sector. We’re committed to investing in our communities, driving the local economy here at home.” In 2013, Co-op launched the initiative in partnership with

the Prairie Fresh Food Corporation, a group of 16 Saskatchewan producers. Last year, Coop purchased 340,000 kilograms (750,000 pounds) of fresh vegetables including sweet corn, cucumbers, beans, cauliflower and carrots under the Home Grown Saskatchewan brand. That’s enough fresh vegetables to feed all of Moose Jaw for a summer.

will be based on producer supply and weather conditions and will vary in the 114 Co-op food stores throughout the year. Radishes and rhubarb are already available in participating Co-op food stores, with baby carrots, dill, cucumbers, beets and kohlrabi in stores soon. Products will continue to be stocked in stores on a seasonal basis until December.

TIP OF THE WEEK

wan. After the intial sale, donations continued to come in, increasing the funds raised for the hospital. Members of 4-H clubs donated an additional $31,000 to the charity, and those funds were in turn matched by CN Rail’s Miracle Match program. The meat from the animal was donated to the Saskatoon Food Bank. Pinnacle Builders sponsors many organizations in the community, including: Warman Minor Hockey, Warman Senior Hockey, Saskatoon 4-H Beef Club, Prince Albert Chuckwagon Association (Chariots Brian Britton), the SPCA, and the Saskatoon Food Bank

The youngster who raised the cow, Cadence Haaland, has personal experience with hospitals, having to go for blood injections every five days to boost his immune system. He lives with a medical condition known as hypogammaglobulinemia. The 4-H Club holds the Junior Ag Showcase annually, and funds raised are often forwarded to charities. The 4-H club offers activities for youth between the ages of six and 25. It celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017. While the club’s roots are in agriculture, it also offers programs for youth in urban centres. Projects now offered include astronomy, geocaching and cooking.
