Sod turned for expansion to care home in Warman

New facility will help shorten waiting list By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

onstruction of a $15 million, 72unit assisted living complex in Warman officially kicked off on Thursday, July 17. The North View Mennonite Haven is expected to take about two years to complete. It’s the latest addition to the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home (WMSCH), which was first built in 1968 and has undergone a number of expansions over the decades. “It’s definitely a red-letter day for the community and the care home,” said WMSCH Administrator Jim Wiebe. “This has been in the works for a long time and it’s great to see the ground being broken for the project. It’s very badly needed. There are over 100 people on our waiting list for assisted living, and it’s growing all the time.” Wiebe said the board of the WMSCH was hoping to see construction start earlier this spring, but it wasn’t until last week that the final details on fi-

A total of 22 investors purchased life leases, which was two more than the minimum needed to provide the initial funding to qualify for the mortgage. Wiebe noted there is still room for another ten investors. While some of the investors will move into the facility as soon as it is completed, others will rent out their suites until they decide to make the move.

Henry Janzen said this is more than just another construction project. It’s something that means a lot to his family. “This is our home community,” said Janzen. “I recall my father and others in the church working on the original building back in 1968. When I was younger I didn’t really see the need for these types of facilities, but now we have a situation in our family where we do see the need, and we are very grateful that this project is getting off CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Dalmeny raises the bar for recreation services Recreation Manager hired to coordinate programs, facilities in growing community By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With Dalmeny’s population now close to 2,000 people, the town has made the move to hire a full-time manager for recreation services, facilities and programming. Mathew Halcro stepped into the role of Dalmeny Recreation Manager in mid-June. Originally from Prince Albert, Halcro has lived in Saskatoon for several years. His professional training and experience is in the area of therapeutic recreation in health care and educational facilities, and he says he’s looking forward to the new challenge. “I expected this to be a big job with a lot of responsbilities, and it definitely is,” said Halcro in an interview in early July. “It’s a more wide-ranging role than what I’ve had in the past, but I think that my experience in those areas will be a real benefit. “In therapeutic recreation we use recreation to enhance people’s physical and mental abilities, and promote their social and emotional growth,” he said. “It’s all about using leisure and recreation as a way of creating a better quality of life for people.” Dalmeny Chief Administrative Officer Shelley Funk said the town council made the decision to hire a full-time recreation manager last spring. “Recreation has always been a big part of Dalmeny,” said Funk. “There is a volunteer recreation board that was

formed many years ago, and it has spearheaded a number of major projects over the years. We are typical of many smaller communities. Volunteers identified the needs, and then pitched in and got the ball rolling. Every community has its own specific needs and its own way of meeting those needs. Dalmeny has great facilities and a very active bunch of recreation groups like minor soccer, figure skating, hockey and ball, but it’s reached a tipping point now with the growth of the town. “There’s a real need now to have a professional person who can coordinate all those different aspects.” Funk said the town council identified the need for a recreation manager about five years ago, as current town staff were increasingly called on to add various duties to their workload. “I was handling recreation off the side of my desk,” said Funk. “Our office manager, Kelly Janzen, who also handles the utility payments, payroll and accounts payable for the town, was also handling a big chunk of the work. It was just getting to be too much.” Funk said recreation is a “soft service” as opposed to essential services like water, sewer and roads. “Everyone agrees recreation is important but if you have to decide whether you want clean water or a playground, well, obviously, clean water is the priority.” But there comes a point when the growth of the community demands that recreation be given a higher priority, she added, and that point has now been reached. With two new residential neighbourhoods currently in the works,

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Mathew Halcro is the new Recreation Manager for the Town of Dalmeny the town is aiming to attract and retain an influx of young families. “It’s growth that’s pushed this forward, and if we want to continue to grow, then we need to maintain and improve the facilities we have in place now, and expand into other areas as well,” she said. Funk said the biggest challenge now for the community is to have the infrastructure to support the growing number of recreational services and programs. There’s also a need to identify facilities that Dalmeny can put in place that fill a regional need.

Halcro said his first priority is to build relationships with the schools, volunteer organizations and residents. “We need to be able to have parnerships with the schools to ensure joint-use of the facilities for everyone’s benefit,” he said. “Those partnerships are paying big dividends in centres like Martensville and Warman.” He said he wants to gather input from residents and organizations in order to come up with fresh ideas and implement new activities, as well as

determine how to utilize existing facilities to their maximum capacity. Halcro said recreation involves more than simply sports. “Recreation also encompasses culture,” he said. “Dalmeny has a vibrant music festival, it has a lot of very talented artists. Recreation is all about expressing your talents and creativity. Things like that are very important to quality of life. That’s where we can partner with schools. There are lots of kids that aren’t in sports, but may be the most gifted artists you’ll meet. To showcase that talent is important. Everyone contributes in their own way to a community, and when you have a way to showcase those diverse talents, then you have something very special.” Dalmeny has several projects on the go for recreational facilities, including a new spray and play park near Prairie View School, a new outdoor rink, and ongoing improvements to the town’s ball parks. Halcro said one of his priorities is to ensure the commuity curling rink is improved and in operation this winter.

Leave young wildlife alone, authorities advise The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has been receiving numerous calls from the public regarding abandoned wildlife, including baby ducks, goslings, song birds and fawns. While it may appear that a young wild animal has been abandoned, it is more likely that the parent is out searching for food, or that people have temporarily frightened the parent away. Unless the parent is found dead near the young animal, the adult typically returns as soon as people leave. Although this can be difficult, it is best to leave them where they are found. If a young bird has fallen out of the nest, return it to the nest or leave it as-is, as baby birds often fall out when first learning to fly. Young geese or ducks can be released at the nearest body of water that ducks and geese are using to raise their young. It is recommended to avoid young raccoons and skunks as these are noted carriers of rabies in Saskatchewan.

Take precautions to avoid getting West Nile Virus higher risk of developing the severe form of WNV infection. “Most West Nile Virus infections usually improve on their own, so there is no need to seek medical attention or to get laboratory tests,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said. “However, if you develop serious symptoms such as severe headaches, persistent high fever with stiff neck, confusion, seizures, or paralysis, see a health care provider immediately.” “The number of infected Culex tarsalis mosquitoes may rise quickly if we get prolonged hot, dry weather in July and August,” Provincial West Nile Virus Coordinator Phil Curry said. “If you plan to be outside when mosquitoes are active, take precautions to protect yourself from bites.”

Health officials advise Saskatchewan residents to take precautions against mosquitoes, as the weather warms up and the risk of West Nile Virus increases. West Nile Virus (WNV) is present in Saskatchewan during summer, and the risk typically peaks between midJuly and September. The virus is transmitted through the bite of infected Culex tarsalis mosquitoes. Most people who become infected with WNV experience no immediate symptoms or have very mild illness (fever, headaches, body aches). A small number of people develop a more serious illness called West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease, which includes encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. The elderly and people with certain medical conditions are at

Floods remind Saskatchewan of its priorities

Bureaucratic review delays anti-cancer drug approvals

COMMENTARY

By Nigel Rawson Researcher with the Fraser Institute The organization that reviews oncology medicines in Canada may unnecessarily delay approvals while cancer patients suffer. That is the conclusion of a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. The study, “Has pCODR Improved Access to Oncology Drugs?”, spotlights the pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR), which recommends new oncology drugs to the provinces and territories (excluding Quebec) after clinical and cost-effectiveness assessments. The pCODR was established in 2010. If pCODR, which is funded by taxpayers, does not improve access to new oncology medicines, it’s fair to ask why the organization exists. Time is everything when you’re fighting cancer,. Under the current system, all new oncology drugs should first receive a favourable recommendation from pCODR before being approved by any province’s public insurance program. According to the pCODR, its drug review process takes between five to eight months to complete. However, some reviews took up to 10 months. Moreover, because provinces individually accept or ignore pCODR recommendations, access to new oncology drugs (covered by provincial insurance plans) varies by province. For example, the late Kimm Fletcher, an Ontario mother who died of brain cancer in 2014, unsuccessfully lobbied the Ontario government to cover Avastin—a drug covered for brain cancer treatment in three other provinces, but not Ontario. Many cancer patients across Canada are forced to seek donations from families, friends and neighbours to pay for unfunded drugs while others have simply gone without. When new drugs are finally approved by pCODR, the provinces add to the delay by taking additional time to approve the medicines for coverage under their insurance plans. The average approval time (from pCODR recommendation to provincial approval) is longest in Newfoundland and Labrador (366 days) followed by New Brunswick (339 days), Prince Edward Island (309 days), Manitoba (249 days), Nova Scotia (218 days), British Columbia (197 days), Alberta (183 days), Saskatchewan (154 days) and Ontario (150 days). The study recommends that provinces approve new oncology drugs within 120 days of any pCODR recommendation. Also, the pCODR often duplicates work performed by other governmental agencies. Rather than improve the situation, the pCODR has made it worse—adding another layer of bureaucracy to the cancer drug-approval process in Canada. Lack of access to new oncology drugs is a grave matter affecting thousands of Canadian patients and their families. While it’s important for regulators to understand the risks and benefits of new oncology drugs, it’s unacceptable for an inefficient government bureaucracy to contribute to drugapproval delays.

Sometimes it takes something like a natural disaster to put things in proper perspective.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

And if one good thing has come out of the Saskatchewan’s summer flooding of 2014; now, unsurpassed in water flow and damage done for this or perhaps any time of year; it is the reminder that we are a ruralbased, agriculture province. This is something that has been lost on some people of late; perhaps misplaced in all the bravado over the oil boom and constant bickering over politics. At issue is the concern raised by left-wing bloggers that Premier Brad Wall`s primary concern has been the slowdown in oil activity rather than farmers’ crops, damage to rural infrastructure and the general plight of those towns and smaller cities hit by the flood waters. Oddly, the criticism appears to be based on a single remark Wall recently made while talking to reporters about securing an immediate $100-million advance from Ottawa. Here is

what he said: “We think the number will be a lot higher than the $360 million of 2011, which was just basically the damage, the repair and not necessarily the economic impact,” Wall told reporters. “In this case, we have oil leases now inaccessible. We have farmland under water. So in addition to whatever numbers I am talking about right now, there will be an economic impact and is too early to assess that just yet.” That Wall would have the audacity to mention that the flooding has also hit the oil sector was grounds enough for some on the left to suggest that is his only priority. It’s what sadly happens to some when everything in your world becomes about your own political narrative. Well, that Wall mentioned that flooding is even having an impact on the oil sector is simply the reality. Don Rae, President of Yorkton-based Crusader Drilling Corp., recently told the Leader-

Post that one of his rigs in the Stoughton area has been out of commission since the June flooding and another rig in the Carnduff area has been stranded by flood waters. “We’ve got a ton of work ahead and we can’t get at it,” Rae said. “So we’re losing our (rig) utilization days and we don’t get them back.” Rae has had to lay off about 50 of the 70 people working for him as a result. That means they’re not getting paid, the companies aren’t buying things from their suppliers, meaning less money in the economy for these support services. Meanwhile, the provincial coffers will take a hit, as less drilling simply means less oil royalty revenue. But does this mean this is Wall’s only concern? Of course not. Wall wasn’t in the southeast to tour the oil rigs. He was examining the plight of towns with water and sewer cut off, washed out roads that has

made it harder for all of us to get around and farms that saw crops washed away and were literally rounding up their cattle by boat. And while no one wants to see such frustration on the farms and in in the towns and smaller cities, maybe one good thing to come out of it is the reminder how important farming and smaller communities are to Saskatchewan. There is little wrong with our new-found identity as a major oil-producing region, but it’s important to always remember that the backbone of this province has been, and still is, the rural communities and the farms that existed here long before oil was important. It is hard-working farmers and people in these communities servicing agriculture that have rightly been the focus of Wall and the rest of the province. Sometimes, it takes a badnews event like this flooding to be reminded how important they truly are to this province.

Correction The photo of the bale fire that appeared on Page 2 of the July 17, 2014 edition of the Gazette showed members of the Sunset Estates Fire Department. Firefighters from Clavet and Sunset Estates brought the blaze under control quickly. The photo cutline incorrectly stated the firefighters from Allan were also at the scene. Allan Fire Department was alerted to be on backup only.

Debate over Fortune Minerals plant heats up as mineral rights question surfaces It’s not hard to understand the concern nearby landowners have about Fortune Minerals’ proposed metal processing plant near Langham. The company is facing a lot of opposition to the process of injecting waste material byproducts into ground above the Dalmeny Aquifer. But negative reaction is expected and part of the process. You only have to ask the Tahltan First Nation in Northwestern, BC. In their case, the issue is a 4,000 square-kilometre region southeast of Iskut called the Sacred Headwaters, which is the source of three wild salmon rivers: the Skeena, Nass and Stikine. According to the Tahltan people, the rivers have been full of life for thousands of years

and they consider the area to be Earth’s birthplace that carries significant cultural, spiritual and social values. The area is also rich in mineral and energy resources, which has fueled Fortune Minerals’ desire to build an open-pit coal mine called the Arctos Anthracite Coal Project. The only problem is in order to move the coal Fortune Minerals would have to rebuild an abandoned railway that will cut through the area and open the territory

to more development. Despite opposition from the Tahltan people, Fortune Minerals still plans on pushing ahead. It’s drawing support for the project by producing videos that promote the project as a winwin for everyone. It’s a process that shares some similarities to Fortune Minerals’ metal processing plant near Langham. The owners of the land adjacent to the proposed Fortune Minerals plant site apparently feel very much the same as the Tahltan people, namely that their rights are being compromised or ignored. What makes it interesting is that the landowners also hold the mineral rights to their property, and their consent is required before any development takes place.

The land for both Fortune Minerals’ projects includes property that families in the area have used for decades. The unfortunate thing for Langham mineral rights holders is that their combined clout does not carry the same weight as a First Nations group. The Government of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Economy recently suggested the ten mineral rights owners must give consent to Fortune Minerals before the province gives the green light. But at the same time, the province can override that local opposition if it feels the plant is in the public interest. What is the public interest? That is open to interpretation. Is it the creation of jobs and a larger tax base in the municipalities

of Corman Park and Langham? Or does it mean respecting a landowner’s mineral rights? To be fair, many companies are taking environmental stewardship seriously. But let’s face it: history has shown us numerous examples of companies skirting their responsibility for land contaminated with industrial waste. The former chemical plant on Wanuskewin Road in Corman Park on Saskatoon’s northern edge is a prime example. It took decades, and a boatload of public money, to get the site cleaned up after the company abandoned it. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, when the plant was producing Agent Orange, there was probably no environmental assessment, but even if there was, would it matter?

In a 2011 conceptual design for Fortune Minerals residue storage facility put together by MDH Engineered Solutions, there’s a red flag in the form of a brief note. On page 14 of the report, under the heading, “Liner and Leak Detection,” the report states: “Saskatchewan does not currently have any guidelines for the specification of hazardous waste.” That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for the government’s environmental review process. We can only hope the province has strengthened those guidelines by now. Should we trust that Fortune Minerals has the public’s interest at heart? It’s a question the province, the Town of Langham and the RM of Corman Park seriously have to think about.

REMEMBERING LOST LOVED ONES Dozens of unmarked graves commemorated with crosses at historic St. Laurent cemetery By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Dozens of all-but-forgotten graves in one of Saskatchewan’s oldest cemeteries are now marked with identical metal crosses. It’s a way of preserving the memory - if not the names of generations of people who are buried on a hill overlooking the scenic South Saskatchewan River Valley north of Duck Lake. The historic Our Lady of Lourdes cemetery at the St. Laurent de Grandin shrine and church is the second-oldest in the province. The earliest recorded burial at the cemetery was that of an infant, Meredgine Thomas, in 1872, just a few months after the site was chosen as a semi-permanant settlement by Metis hunters. For untold generations before that, though, native people frequented the area and laid their ancestors to rest there as well. But only about half of the known graves in the cemetery are marked with headstones. The rest are unmarked and the identities of the people buried there is unknown. In the early days of the Metis settlement there were hardly any written documents. Even church records setting out the names of people buried in the cemetery and the location of their graves are sketchy. Many deaths were not even officially recorded if a priest didn’t happen to be in the vicinity. For those that were commemorated, grave markers rarely lasted very long, and within a few years, only grass, wildflowers, bushes and sometimes a slight depression in the soil were all that remained to mark the final resting place of a person who had passed on. For decades at St. Laurent, new graves were dug amid the old, and more permanent headstones began to be installed. But the actual number of

people buried in the cemetery and the nearby grounds is unknown. What is certain is that there are many dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of unmarked graves. There are so many, in fact, that it is now very difficult to dig a new grave without disturbing an existing one, according to Lionel Sauve, groundskeeper at the St. Laurent Shrine and cemetery. “This has been a burying ground for hundreds of years,” said Sauve in an interview at the cemetery on Wednesday, June 18. “It’s a very spiritual place. Even people who aren’t Catholic, or aren’t even religious, feel liike there is something unique here when they visit the shrine, the church and the cemetery.” Sauve said over the past few years, more people are expressing the wish to be buried in the St. Laurent cemetery. “We tried to find spots for them, and we kept hitting graves,” said Sauve. “Finally, we said, ‘that’s enough. We have to mark all the graves.’ We stopped all the digging on the top of the hill until we could find some funding to go ahead with this project. We had heard of these machines that use Ground Penetrating Radar, but they’re very costly.” After much effort, the St. Laurent Shrine Committee obtained a grant for $10,000 from the Metis Cultural Development Fund through SaskCulture. The funding covered about half the cost of running the survey using the machine. In August, 2013, the committee contracted with Canada North Environmental Services to undertake a survey of the cemetery using GPR , providing a detailed record of the cemetery to commemorate all the marked and unmarked graves. Once the committee knew the extent and location of all the graves, they could use that information to come up with a plan to manage the future of

the cemetery. On August 20, 2013, a survey was done of the main cemetery using a Noggin 250 MHz Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system combined with GPS receiver to accurately determine exact positions of all graves. The ground was not dug up or disturbed at all during the process. Instead, the GPR machine, mounted on a four-wheel cart system, collected data on buried objects, such as bones, as it passed over them. The distinctive “signatures” of graves were determined by calibrating the machine based on known and marked graves. Most of the graves did not contain caskets, but there are a few that do, said Sauve. “The richer people tended to have caskets,” he said. “The poorer folks didn’t.” The GPR mapping, combined with archival and historical research and interviews, was used to produce a final report in the fall of 2013.

Dozens of plain metal crosses commemorating previously-unmarked graves have been placed in the cemetery at the St. Laurent Shrine near Duck Lake. The graves were located using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and mapped using GPS readings. St. Laurent groundskeeper Lionel Sauve (inset) holds the remnants of the bell that was destroyed during a fire that levelled the original St. Laurent log church in 1995. There is informed speculation the melted bell is what remains of the historic “Bell of Batoche” Sauve said after marking so many graves, he’s noticed several surface features that tend to give clues. The most obvious, he said, is that the grass grows more thickly over graves. The graves were marked with wooden stakes last fall, and over the winter, local craftsman Lonnie Vermette manufactured dozens of identical metal crosses. The crosses were installed in the cemetery earlier this spring and summer. “We tried to line the crosses up in rows but also wanted them to correspond with the graves,” said Sauve. “So some are at the head, some at the feet and some in the middle. The graves themselves were not arranged in any particular order. It was probably more likely that there was a family plot and the graves were in clusters.” In some places, the unmarked graves are still identified by the wooden stakes. “We

underestimated the number of crosses we needed,” said Sauve. We have to make some more.” The final report issued by CanNorth estimated there are a “minimum of 291 individuals buried in the cemetery” including 148 possible unmarked graves within the surveyed areas of the current cemetery boundaries. There are 123 marked graves, but 143 individuals are reliably known to be buried at St. Laurent. The report further adds that “Based on the continued use of the cemetery and historical significance of the area, it is likely that the number of individuals buried at St. Laurent actually exceeds the estimated amount of 291 burials. Furthermore, it has been suggested that graves are located to the north of the current cemetery boundary... to the west of the cemetery... and to the northeast where an unmarked white cross stands

along the tree line.” Sauve said while no more full-size graves are going to be allowed on the hill, there is still room in that area for burying ashes of those who are cremated. He said the committee plans to allow full size graves on the south side of the hill, and once that fills up, another area to the east will be opened up. Sauve, a Field Assistant during the mapping project, said many individuals contributed directly to the mapping project, including Project Manager Mike Markowski of Can North, Field Assistants Kara Wolfe, Troy Zimmer, Lonnie Vermette, Sauve, Celine Perillat, Ken Nosbush, and Lionel Parenteau. Interviews on the history of the cemetery were conducted with local residents Omar Ranger, Joe Parenteau, Frieda Perret, Lionel Sauve, Lonnie Vermette, Celine Perillat, Lionel Parenteau, Ken Nosbush and Gerry Ostiguy.

Dating from the 1870s, the St. Laurent de Grandin site has rich heritage By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Nestled in one of the prettiest spots along the South Saskatchewan River valley, St. Laurent is among the most history-rich places in Saskatchewan. The site of a Metis settlement that dates back to the 1870s, St. Laurent is home to a unique cross-shaped log church, a Catholic shrine and grotto that attracts thousands of visitors during annual pilgrimages, and a cemetery where veterans of the 1885 Northwest Resistance are buried. Often overshadowed in the history books by the neighbouring village of Batoche, St. Laurent nevertheless played a key role in the Northwest Resistance of 1885 and the larger history of settlement in the area. The original St. Laurent church was the building where, on March 15, 1885, Louis Riel broke with the Catholic Church leaders and launched an armed resistance against the Canadian government. The first shots in the rebellion took place during the Battle of Duck Lake on March 26. Five Metis fighters who fell during that battle are buried in the St. Laurent cemetery. The cemetery is also the final resting place of Patrice Fleury, the brother-in-law of Gabriel Dumont. Fleury played a key role in the armed resis-

The log church, built in the shape of a cross, at St. Laurent at Lourdes, France. Construction on the grotto at the pilgrimage was begun in 1882. In 1883, a convent and boarding school were established by Bishop Grandin. This was the period when St. Laurent was the educational and spiritual centre for the Metis people in the region, according to the report. In 1884, St. Laurent gained considerable fame after the wife of Charles Nolin, a leader in the community, was cured of a serious illness. Nolin donated a statue of the Virgin Mary in

appreciation. Informal pilgrimages to the shrine began in the early 1880s and the first formal pilgrimage took place in 1905. In 1909, an estimated 2,000 people took part in the pilgrimage. The largest pilgrimage was in 1922, when 8,000 people participated. The St. Laurent mission fell into decline as Prince Albert became the main administrative centre for the Catholic Church in the region, but in 1973, Father Gilles Doucette took on the role of Shrine Director and began to rejuvenate

the shrine. A devastating fire in 1990 which destroyed the log church, but it was rebuilt in the winter of 1994-95, and a camping area for visitors to the shrine was also built about the same time. Father Doucette passed away in 2006, but his work is carried on by volunteers who continue to maintain St. Laurent. St. Laurent holds regular Mass services during the summer months and hosts annual pilgrimages July 15 and 16; August 15, and September 8.

Heavy equipment operator program moving to Warman Great Plains College will soon be transporting the CAT simulators used for the Heavy Equipment Operator program to Warman. The simulators will be used in the upcoming Heavy Equipment Operator program that starts August 11 at the Warman campus. Anyone interested in learning more about the benefits of the technology as a training tool for new employees and as a method to refresh and enhance the technical skills of current heavy equipment operators is invited to contact the college. “The key ingredients to the motion experience are our proprietary software and physics engineering. Our programming team works closely with motion specialists to provide very specific information to the motion platform,” explains Annette Bailey Marketing Strategist, Simformation/CSE Software. “In turn the simulated machine’s physics respond and react realistically to the environment, maneuvers and terrain interaction.” The six-week, Heavy Equip-

ment Operator training program consists of a combination of simulator, hands-on field training and classroom theory. The simulators are housed in mobile custom-fitted trailers to ensure the college has the ability to effectively and efficiently service the industry’s training requirements. “Through our partnership with Kramer Ltd. and the tremendous support of Western Economic Diversification Canada, we are very excited that the college has permanently acquired these state-of-the-art mobile simulators,” says Darlene Anton, Great Plains College program coodrinator. “They are cutting-edge technology and emergent in the world of heavy equipment training,” she added. “The mobility also provides the college with the ability to take the program wherever there is demand.” During his 25 years of industry experience Lionel Nordmarken, heavy equipment operator, has seen his share of workplace close-calls and mishaps. “The use of simulators

Toastmasters sets up shop in Warman By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Anyone interested in meeting friends, gaining confidence and learning how to become a better public speaker can take advantage of a new Toastmasters group in Warman. According to the Toastmasters website, the organization is a world leader in communication and leadership development. A toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere. There is also no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting and members evaluate one another’s presentations. The feedback is part of the program’s success. In May members of a Toast-

masters group in Saskatoon asked Penny Nilsen and other people in Warman if residents and students would be interested in a club opening up because of the club’s declining numbers in Saskatoon. Nilsen, who is an instructor at Great Plains College and was a member of a Toastmasters group for 14 years, thought it was a great idea because she already knew the value of its programs. “A lot of times you can read about the tools of (public speaking) but it doesn’t sink in. Toastmasters club members provide a positive learning by doing atmosphere,” said Nilsen. The official name of the Warman-based Toastmasters club is called Talk of the Square Toastmasters Club.

At present the toastmasters group currently has 15 members. They would like to expand to 20 members, so they can have two clubs that meet on revolving noon and evening time slots every Thursday, said member Jane Danoczi. Danoczi said the goals of the club will be to elect a president by June 2015, to have members complete ten speeches and complete all of the administration work with Toastmasters International. The club’s other objectives include partaking in contests that involve humorous and international speech topics and inviting guest speakers to enable members to become parliamentarians, evaluators, debaters, as well as impromptu and public speakers.

A trio of young Saskatchewan musicians are taking their inspiration from an era that ended two decades before they were even born. In With The Old, which consists of Ellen Froese-Kooijenga, Jaxon Lalonde and Kasia Thorlakson, unveiled their first CD at a concert in Saskatoon last week. The album, entitled “Rollin’ On Down The Plains” is a collection of eight songs by the versatile group. Seven of the tunes are originals, while one is a 113-year-old classic that probably hasn’t been recorded since the heyday of the folk boom in the 1960s. It’s an eclectic mix that skirts the edges of bluegrass, folk, country and maybe even a little alternative jazz-rockabilly. The album, recorded at PuulsWorks Audio Arts studio in Saskatoon, took several months to complete, but given the fact that the band only got together last fall, it’s still a pretty quick turnaround. Still, it has a professional, polished sound to it that stacks up well against much more elaborate recordings by artists who have been in the business for decades. What’s most impressive is the maturity of the music. These melodies are not just good, they’re really good. Part of that stems from the chemistry between the three teenage musicians, who all play a variety of instruments and like to change things up by shuffling from one to another depending on the song. It’s easy to tell they’ve all had a hand in shaping these tunes, working out the arrangements as they go along. Ellen Froese-Kooijenga penned five of the songs: “Paper ‘n Flies,” “Whiskey For My Heartache,” “Oh Honey Dear,” “I’m Gone, I’m On My Way” and “Ship of My Heart.” She contributes lead vocals on her own songs, backed up with Kasia Thorlakson’s tight

Ukrainian Connection Advisory panel to provide direction on MS research playing farewell concert Will J. Ballantyne invited to share stage with popular band in Radisson on July 27 By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

After 11 years of packing them into the concert halls, one of Saskatchewan’s favourite old-time country bands is packing it in. The Ukrainian Connection is playing its final concert on Sunday, July 27 in Radisson from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Walter Kyliuk, the fiddler and front man for the band, says the time has come for the band members to move on to other things. “There comes a time when it’s time to call it a day,” said Kyliuk in an interview last week. “It’s been a great run, and a lot of fun for all of us, but we’re not as young as we used to be. The fun had kind of gone out of it and it was becoming more of a chore.” Kyliuk said while the band is formally disbanding, nobody is actually giving up music. In fact, some of the members are moving on to pursue active gigs with other groups. “Norman Woytowich has hooked up with another group called Norm and the Golden Aces, and he’s still performing,” said Kyliuk. “In fact, his band is playing at the Krydor Centennial celebration on Saturday, August 9.” The Ukrainian Connection started in 2002 when Kyliuk, Woytowich, Amanda Tru-

licz-Lapointe, Robert Kardash and Ken Goodman formed the band. Featuring fast-paced accordion and fiddle tunes, and polished vocals by TruliczLapointe in both English and Ukrainian, the band quickly became a favourite at concerts across Canada. The band released four albums and won several awards. In 2003, the band had the top-selling CD in Saskatchewan, beating even the popular Johner Brothers. But in 2006, Trulicz-Lapointe left the band to raise a famiy, and “it just wasn’t the same after that,” said Kyliuk. “She was a truly exceptional vocalist and just couldn’t be replaced.” The band’s CDs continue to sell well, and their music is regularly heard on CJWW’s Old Time Dance Party.

WILL J. BALLANTYNE

Kyliuk said the band is really looking forward to playing their last concert, where they will be backing up one of the best country singers in the province. Will J. Ballantyne of Unity, who performed at the Warman Canada Day Celebration July 1 for the second year in a row, is winning new fans with every appearance. Just 22 years old, Ballantyne has a voice that sounds like a blend of Randy Travis and Josh Turner. In 2012, he was invited to perform in Nashville, TN. He sings classic country songs from the 1950s to the 1990s, and plays a variety of instruments including fiddle, steel guitar, accoustic and electric guitar. “It promises to be a great show,” said Kyliuk.

PUBLIC NOTICE RM of Vanscoy No. 345

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No. 345 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 3-2009, known as the Zoning Bylaw. INTENT The proposed Bylaw 3-2014 will rezone from A-Agriculture District to CR1-Low Density Country Residential District the land described below. AFFECTED LANDS The affected land is legally described as Pt. LSD 10 in Section 30-34-06 W3 and is shown on the map below.

The provincial government has named an advisory panel of medical experts, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and family members and research and health provider groups to recommend options for advancing the science of MS for the benefit of patients. After reviewing MS-related research opportunities, the panel will submit recommendations to the Ministry of Health in early 2015. “This advisory panel is an excellent way to engage people with MS and their family members or caregivers in the pro-

cess of recommending options for MS research and support for patients in Saskatchewan,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The personal experience and knowledge of people with strong interests and expertise in this area will inform our consideration of future opportunities for government support.” The panel includes MS patients and advocates, researchers and medical specialists, as well as representatives from health organizations, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and the provincial Office of

Disability Issues. The panel will make specific recommendations on opportunities to: enable Saskatchewan patients to participate in clinical trials that focus on improving the condition of patients and relieving symptoms; improve the care experience of Saskatchewan MS patients; and better support MS research and education in Saskatchewan. “We are pleased to be able to work alongside the government and other stakeholders who

continue to show a commitment to support MS research and improved patient care in the province,” MS Society of Canada - Saskatchewan Division President Erin Kuan said. “Research offers people living with MS hope, and we are excited to be part of the discussion about how best to increase research capacity and access to care in Saskatchewan.” MS is a degenerative neurological disease that impairs or destroys the function of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. About 3,700 Saskatchewan people are affected.

Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs win Men’s Senior B fastball crown By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs are Top Dogs. The Delisle fastball team captured their first-ever provincial Men’s Senior B championship last weekend, rolling undefeated through the three-day tournament, and finishing it off with a 4-1 win in the final over the Regina NB Petro Hawks. Bryan Newton was the winning pitcher in the gold medal game. The Delisle ace pitched four of the six games Delisle won over the course of the weekend. Trevor Ethier pitched the other two winning games. The Dogs got off to a strong start, winning their first two games on Friday after a rain delay threatened to put a damper on the tournament. The

Dogs beat the Regina NB Petro Hawks 6-0 in the opening contest and then staged a dramatic comeback to edge Bulyea 9-8 in the second game. Delisdle hammered the Bruno Merchants 9-2 in the third game on Saturday, July 19, following that up with a decisive 6-1 win over the Grenfell Gems. Brodie Busby provided the biggest offensive punch for Delisle in that game with a three-run homer. A solo home run shot came from Shawn Colborn. That perfect record meant the Dogs were in good shape heading into the semi-finals. They beat the Regina NB Petro Hawks, also known as the Gordon Hawks 3-0 to advance to the gold medal game. The Hawks, meanwhile, had to go the long route to make it back to the final. Their ace

pitcher, Dusty Keshane, was on the mound for all the Hawks’ games and showed more than a little wear on his arm after so many innings. He ran out of gas when the Hawks and Dogs squared off in the championship final. Colborn said after coming in third and second in Senior B Men’s competition on several occasions, it was nice to finally win the title. He said the team added a lot of depth on both offense and defense in an effort to bolster their squad for this tournament. “We had a really deep bench,” said Colborn in an interview on Monday, July 21 following the tournament. “We added several guys who are former Team Canada players, and their experience and skill really helped make the difference.”

Colborn said everybody on the team shone at some point during the tournament, and it was a true team effort that got them to the gold medal result. “The whole team played really good,” said Colborn. “Everybody stepped up at different times in different games and in different situations. Sometimes it was the pitching, sometimes the hitting, and sometimes the defense on key plays.” Colborn said it was nice to finally bring home a championship banner to a community where fastball is a major sport. “It’s a lot more fun winning than losing,” he said. The Dogs, along with the third-place Bruno Merchants, will be going to the Western Canadian Senior B fastball championships in Grand Prairie, Alberta August 14-17.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JULY 24, 2014

Some fans just not happy unless this team is losing They’re not mad in the Rider Nation. Yet. These ardent football fans in the Wheat Province – considered to be the most knowledgeable in the Canadian loop – realize we are only three games into an 18-game season and there are all kinds of twists and turns planted ahead. However, one look at the CFL West Division standings right now is enough to put a pit in your stomach. Saskatchewan Roughriders. 1-2. Dead last. Gulp. It seems like forever since the Saskatchewan Roughriders were in the division basement, however it wasn’t that long ago. It was the 2011 season to be exact, when the Riders started off 1-7, costing rookie coach Greg Marshall his job. Ken Miller took over but could only muster a 4-6 record the rest of the way, leaving the Riders at a woeful 5-13. For the most part, we’ve blocked that from our memories. That 2011 season is considered but a blip on the screen for a franchise which has appeared in four of the past seven Grey Cups. The new “Montreal Alouettes” as it were, but something’s gone wrong out of the gate this summer. We’ve chronicled in this space over the past few weeks about how the Saskatchewan Roughriders have repeatedly shot themselves in the foot on the way to consecutive doubledigit losses. I usually hate this phrase but in this case it’s true; the other teams didn’t win it, the Riders simply lost it. And that’s why the Rider Nation is waffling right now. During last week’s bye in the schedule, every fan and Rider observer I encountered on the streets or in coffee shops and restaurants had the exact same expression and question. They smirked and asked, “What’s wrong with the Riders right now?” It left the impression that there’s mild concern amongst the fanbase, but not outright panic. Sure, there are many citizens of the Rider Nation running around in a panic, but that’s the way they like it. Those folks aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy and the team’s losing.

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

However, the reasonable fans can see what’s going on. This is a team with a massively overhauled roster and it’s taking a while to come together. The only problem is it’s taking longer than the team would like, but we’re only 1/6 of the way through the schedule. “In the bigger perspective we have to understand we’re only three games into the year and we’ve played one good football game and two bad ones,” Riders Assistant GM Jeremy O’Day reasoned on CKRM radio during the bye week. “We’re a team that’s had some turnover and have some guys in new positions and we need some time to get that cohesiveness together. We need to get the guys working on the same page but it doesn’t happen overnight in pro football. You can’t just plug a guy in and think it’ll

We’re hoping – and expecting – to see a different Roughrider team show up from its nine days off with a fresh attitude and refreshed will to win. The team also showed it means business by closing its very first practice of the week to the fans and media a la the NFL. It appears they mean business. What have they cooked up behind closed doors?

Fitness Tips

GO with YOUR GUT. Part 4.

Sample foods that contain prebiotics are as follows: raw chicory root....used as a coffee replacement, this root provides the most prebiotics of any food; Jerusalem artichoke....also known as “sunchokes”, these tuber-like veggies have a potato-like texture and look like ginger roots; raw dandelion greens....available at organic markets, these greens have a bitter taste and can be tossed into a salad; raw garlic....you would have to eat 3 cloves to get 6 g of inulin; raw leeks......similar to onions, these are great in salads; raw onions.....inulin content varies from one variety to another....when cooked you lose about 2% of inulin. Prebiotics have few side affects but may cause bloating and gas. The health benefits are still under investigation but from resent research it has been known to reduce infectious traveler’s and antibiotic associated diarrhea, protect against colon cancer, enhance uptake of minerals, including calcium, lower some risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and; promote satiety and weight loss to prevent obesity. Probiotics: Alive and Well Probiotics are live, active bacteria and/or yeasts than can: remain viable during processing, transport and storage; colonize GI tract; antagonize pathogenic bacteria; and produce demonstrated clinical health outcomes. The most common strains of probiotic bacteria are the LACTOBACILLUS and BIFIDOBACTERIA families, which use lactose to prevent harmful bacteria growth, serve as a physical barrier, compete with bad bugs for nutrients, and alter intestinal pH to tackle bacteria villains (like diarrhea-producing Clostridium difficile) that thrive in a neutral pH environment.

Care home expansion officially underway the ground. It’s off to a good start, and now we need to finish well. But we know the Lord is with us, so who can be against us?” Affinity Credit Union is financing the mortgage on the new building. The initial funding has come from 22 investors, primarily people who have purchased “life-leases” on suites in the new facility. The building was designed by AODBT architect Charles Olfert, who also designed the Warman Community Middle School. Peter and Mary Guenther of Warman are among those who put up the $200,000 to purchase a suite. They still live independently in their own home in Warman, but are looking to move to their new home once it’s built. “This provides us with a very good option,” said Peter Guenther. “We’re going to move into the suite, and we can live on our own for a while and do our own cooking and so on, but if the time comes, we can then eat in the dining room and gradually make use of the assisted living. We think it’s a good route to go.” “It’s one less move for us,” said Mary Guenther. “We’ll be able to stay in our own home as long as

we can.” Peter Guenther said while they’re looking forward to the move, they’ll use the next eighteen months to downsize from their current home. “It’s going to take that long to figure out what we should keep and what we can do without,” he said. Trevor Hanley, commercial accounts manager with Affinity Credit Union, said the project is truly “community-based” and noted the credit union is “reinvesting our members’ funds back into the community to finance affordable housing for seniors.” “People need a place where they can be cared for adequately and this is a great opportunity for that,” said Hanley. “It’s taken a lot of hard work on the part of the board and volunteers to get it to this point, and Affinity is proud to be a partner in this project.” Wiebe said the WMSCH first built eight assisted living units adjoining the nursing home in 2002, and added a further eight in 2006. Those suites filled up very quickly, and now there is a waiting list of roughly 110 people looking to move in. This new facility will certainly help accommodate that demand, he said.

Warman athlete one of province’s top kayakers By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Andrew Nilsen understands that it takes dedication, great technique and stamina to be successful at kayaking. The Warman resident may be well on his way to accomplishing great things in the sport. Nilsen makes up only a handful of kayak athletes north of Saskatoon that participate in competitions for the Saskatoon Canoe Club. It has already been a busy spring and summer for Nilsen. He has participated in spring kayak camps in Florida and regattas in Regina, Saskatoon, and Calgary. In June, Nilsen went to Regina for the Western Canada Summer Games trials and was ranked as the top athlete under 19 in Saskatchewan for his sport. This August the Saskatoon and Regina club athletes will be doing a summer camp to practice together for the 2015 Western Canada Games at Blackstrap. During August Nilsen will also participate in a developmental regatta in Yorkton for athletes 16 and under and compete in the Canadian Sprint Canoe/Kayak Championships in Regina August 19-24. Nilsen, who holds down two jobs and is a top student at Warman High School, said he is amazed by how well he is doing in the sport.

“I was definitely surprised when I found out I was the top kayaker in Saskatchewan for under 19. It was pretty cool.” Nilsen’s next goal is placing well at the National Championships in Regina. “That is a competition that I want to do my best in,” said Nilsen. Nilsen said kayaking is all about timing and rotation so you can move your paddle up and move your strength in the right direction without wasting any energy. Nilsen practices about once a day every week, paddling several kilometres on the South Saskatchewan River. His training also includes a routine of running and lifting weights. It is a sport where he does not mind putting the work in even if he has to juggle his training schedule around working two jobs. Nilsen’s coach, Andre Gronowicz, said Nilsen has a lot of potential and it has been a pleasure to see him do well in such a short time. Gronowicz moved to Saskatoon from Poland more than 20 years ago to help the Saskatoon Canoe Club. Gronowicz also won the silver medal for Poland in the Montreal Summer Olympic Games in 1976.

Carpet so clean

your couch will be envious

Be safe on the water this long weekend The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year 2 of an initiative called “Operation Dry Water”. Its goal is to discourage the dangerous practice of drinking and boating.

With the summer boating season in high gear, the August long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rock-
